[narrator] Previously on The Dragon Prince…
I am going to find the mage and the warrior,
and I am going to warn them.
- [honks] - [woman] Karim's sentence is death.
[exhales]
It's Miyana.
She's… carrying my heir, isn't she?
[sniffles]
It's a Fire Ruby.
With these, we can build weapons to protect the human kingdoms,
even from dragons.
[Aaravos] She is the key.
[squawks]
As she dies, all she can think about is her hatchlings.
You used me.
It's not how you treat someone you love.
Does this mean…
what I think it means?
[theme music playing]
[ethereal music playing]
[inhales, exhales]
Hello, Terry here. But I guess you already knew that.
[clears throat]
[rustles]
Uh, so here's the thing.
Love is good. [nervous chuckles]
It's so good that sometimes you do not good.
[stutters] For the good.
And when you finally see how not good that not good is,
you have to change.
You have to start doing good again.
But that can feel…
not so good.
[chirps]
That'll convince King Ezran that I'm on his side, right?
Chirp once for yes, twice for no.
[both chirp once]
Uh… Hang on.
Was that one yes from each of you, or a group no?
[chirping]
Oh, wow, whoa, okay.
- That's… - [chirping continues]
That's a lot of feedback.
[Terry sighs]
[Callum] Such a nice place you've got here.
You've already said that this morning.
Oh. Have I? [exhales]
In fact, you've said it every morning for the last two weeks.
Runaan, be kind to the boy.
It's not easy getting to know his girlfriend's parents.
He's nervous.
[nervous chuckles, mumbles]
This is really good mushcup. I just… I love it.
[Rayla] Don't lie to them, Callum.
Nobody loves mushcup.
Home for less than a month, and she's already tired of my cooking.
[scoffs]
For the record, I think your cooking is fantastic.
I just want to show you more of the Silvergrove, Callum.
Ooh! What if we held a Forage Feast?
What's a Forage Feast?
[Rayla] It's a Silvergrove tradition.
Anything and everything we can find in the forest,
we cook into a huge celebratory meal.
It's for special occasions…
and special visitors.
That's a wonderful idea, Rayla.
[sighs]
But I won't be able to join you.
It's my turn to lead Moon Cubs today.
Uh, is that like watching a group of kids?
Because if it would help, I could do that.
Callum, don't feel like you have to.
Nah, I used to babysit my little brother all the time.
That way, the three of you can go forage.
That is very generous, Callum. Thank you.
[chuckles]
[squawks]
[horse neighs]
[tranquil music playing]
[snoring]
[footsteps approaching]
So, um, actually, I've been meaning to ask you,
would you mind putting in a good word to the Crow Lord?
Maybe something about my leadership potential?
It would really help with my career development.
Um, I'm not sure I'm enough of an expert on crows and deliveries and everything
to get involved here.
Oh, that's no problem.
I mean, at the end of the day, you're at the top of the org chart.
We have an org chart?
[growls]
Uh-huh. Yeah.
Uh, I should probably just…
[nervous chuckle] Here's your letter.
Thank you.
[suspenseful music playing]
It's from Queen Aanya.
She says Project Ruby Fire is making quick progress.
[Zym whimpers worriedly]
[Ezran] It's going to be all right, buddy.
We're only building such powerful weapons so we'll never have to use them.
So that one will endanger Katolis ever again.
[footsteps approaching]
Excuse me. King Ezran.
There is someone here to see you.
An Earthblood elf.
[thuds]
[Zym growls]
King Ezran. [chuckles nervously]
[door slams]
Hello.
Oh, um…
I practiced this with glasses, so I hope you don't mind if I…
- [growling] - [rustles]
Much better.
Uh, as I was saying, hello.
- Hello. - Right.
Well, I know you see me as the enemy… Whoa.
Um, but I've realized that I was wrong, and I come here--
Um, sorry.
I don't know you.
You don't?
Oh, um, I-I'm Terry. Uh, Terrestrius for short.
[stutters] I mean, for long, I guess.
You know, I'm going to switch to glasses off.
[growling]
[clears throat]
Here's the thing: love.
[stutters] It's good, but sometimes--
Not to rush things, Terry.
But we have a busy schedule to keep here.
[Zym growls]
Oh. Of course. [chuckles]
Okay, so, about me: I was Claudia's boyfriend,
so I kinda, you know, helped her and her dad
fight against you and your… team.
But not anymore, so…
Trees to meet you. [grunts]
Good morning, my pride of Moon Cubs!
[all] Good morning, Pride Papa Ethari.
Now today's going to be a little different.
Your Pride Leader is our human friend, Callum.
[jolly music playing]
[gasps]
I want you to show Callum complete and total respect. Okay?
[all] Yes, Pride Papa Ethari.
So who wants to have fun today?
[suspenseful music playing]
- [laughter] - Uh…
- [shrieks] - [laughs]
- Whoa! - [thuds]
[grave music playing]
[door opens]
[footsteps approaching]
Hello, Amaya.
Or should I call you "Queen Amaya."
After my sister failed, I assumed she would send her… [scoffs]
…new wife.
Queen Janai did not send me.
I came on my own.
[laughs]
For what purpose?
To save your… posterior.
[sighs]
She wants you to know that she used a different word…
than "posterior."
[horse neighs in distance]
I'm just so embarrassed coming in here, assuming everyone knew me.
[Soren] Salad guy.
Oh, good. Somebody does know me. Oh!
King Ezran tells me you dumped my sister.
What? Is she not good enough for you?
No, I just… wasn't comfortable going along with her…
dark plans anymore.
So you figured out you were on the wrong side?
Took you long enough.
Yes. Yes, it did.
And then you just abandoned Claudia.
The nerve.
I'm sorry. I'm not sure how you want me to respond.
Yeah, well, I'm confused too.
Terry, you know Claudia's plans. What is she going to do?
[grunts]
[groans]
Before I tell you, you have to make me a promise.
That no matter what, no harm will come to Claudia.
[gloomy music playing]
I'm sorry, but that's not possible.
Well, that's the only way I'm going to tell you
what Claudia and Aaravos are planning.
Wait, Aaravos?
Oh, right.
You didn't know that, did you?
So, yeah, Aaravos is free.
He doesn't even have horns.
Check out this weird little finger.
What's the point of that?
Feel his hair.
- It's so greasy. - [chuckles]
Why does everyone keep saying that? I-I wash it regularly.
- [sneezes] - [laughs]
Your glow toad is allergic to your lies. [gasps]
What's it like not to have any magic powers?
Well, Lira, you're talking to a very unique human.
- Because I actually do have powers. - [all gasp]
[sneezes]
Aha! Lying.
Okay, first of all, he just sneezes a lot. He's not a truth-stone.
Second, I can prove I have powers.
Watch.
[inhales] Tickle proof.
Uh. Okay.
Now try and tickle me.
[all giggle]
[laughter]
[gasps] I don't believe it.
[both gasp]
- Cool… - Magic.
[Karim] So you're here to save me?
How generous.
I understand you, Karim.
I used to fear the so-called "monsters" across the border.
Let me save you the time.
It was love that made you see
that we are more alike than we are different.
I can change too, and you will help me.
Did I get everything?
[Gren] Not quite.
It took more than love.
I had to work to unravel all of the prejudices,
all the hatred I'd learned in my upbringing.
It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.
Huh.
You think we are alike?
Let me tell you how we are different.
- [chain clanking] - Your beliefs came from fear.
Mine come from knowledge.
You were scared of a monster in the dark.
I fight in the light against an enemy, flesh and blood.
You humans are vermin.
A plague.
You take and take and will not be satisfied
until our history and culture are dust in the desert wind.
So do not compare my reality to your childish nightmare.
Amaya…
Human queen of the Sunfire Elves.
[ethereal music playing]
Aaravos is free.
I knew something else was coming, something dangerous.
- [paper rustles] - [low growls]
Opeli.
Have this letter sent back to Aanya in Duren.
Of course, King Ezran.
Where is the Earthblood elf?
He went out about an hour ago.
You just let him leave?
It's the only way to figure out if we can really trust him.
I asked Soren and Corvus to follow him, figure out what he's really up to.
[humming]
[birds chirping]
[humming continues]
Hmm.
- Ah! - [Soren] Stop right there.
Drop whatever you're holding.
I knew it.
You were collecting worms for dark magic, weren't you?
Or for… fishing.
Not quite. [chuckles]
[chirping]
The worms are for them.
This is Aaron and Sam.
They're twins.
Aaravos killed their mother, and I couldn't stop him.
I wasn't able to stop a lot of bad things.
So now I have to do what I can,
anything I can, to make it better.
No, I don't trust him.
Nobody is this charming and, and nice.
[chirps]
- Nuh-uh. - [chuckles] Thanks.
You seem great too.
Very strong and very, uh, loyal.
Ah-ah, I know this trick.
You're just buttering me up.
But thank you. I did kind of need to hear that, ahem, today.
May I?
- [chirping] - Mm-hm.
[chirping continues]
[gasps]
I'm so sorry about your mom.
[chirps]
Thank you both.
We can trust him.
What did the birds say?
Sam said he is kind, loving, and he finds the best worms.
And Aaron notes that his farts smell like the damp ground after a rainy day.
[low growls]
Yes, it is true.
[birds chirping]
So are you and Rayla friends?
Me and Rayla? Uh, yeah, of course we are.
Are you and Rayla…
more than friends?
[both] Ooh.
Well… [chuckles]
Well, [stammers] I mean, we are friends, but, um, we are also, um…
I think you love her.
[laughter]
Yes. Yes, I do.
I love her. I love her very much.
Oh! Will your babies have horns?
Will they have four fingers or five?
- What about powers? - [laughs] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Uh, I don't know. I…
I think if an elf and a human had ten babies,
they would all turn out ten different ways.
Some would have horns, some would have five fingers.
[Ethari] Hello there, my pride of Moon Cubs.
[all] Pride Papa Ethari.
How was your day?
Well, I think it went pretty--
Rayla, Callum wants to have ten babies with you.
- Ten. [laughs] - [gasps]
Uh, no, no, no. [stammers] That's not…
That… Isn't that. I didn't mean it like that.
[laughing]
[adventurous music playing]
Ah!
- This will do. - [chirping]
Hold on.
King Ezran, how do we know this "sap swear"
isn't some kind of "sap trap"?
No, no, it's…
It's just an ancient Earthblood elf tradition.
It creates an unbreakable promise.
See? It's just sap.
How do we know it's not magic sap?
Corvus, check it.
[sniffs]
Confirmed. Regular sap.
I sap swear that neither I nor any of my soldiers will harm Claudia.
As the sap sticks to you, so must your promise.
[chirping]
Um…
How do we separate?
Yes. That is the hard part.
Oh!
Oh, that was incredible.
I don't think I could eat another bite.
[sneezes]
Oh, we'll see about that.
[gasps]
Moonberry Surprise.
[magical music plays]
[utensils clattering]
- [whimsical choral music playing] - [gasps]
[moans happily]
[coos happily]
[slice continues cooing]
[laughing]
[moans]
You like it?
[coughs]
It's not bad.
- [utensils clattering] - [sighs]
[Callum] I'm gonna have another bite.
Okay. Now that the sap swear is done, tell us everything you know.
[inhales]
Claudia and Aaravos are going to invert the Moon Nexus…
and release all the beings from the In-Between.
Oh, no!
What does that mean exactly?
There are angry, tormented spirits trapped in the Moon Nexus.
Spirits with unfinished business. It gets worse.
[whimpers]
The spirits can't exist in the light of day.
So Claudia and Aaravos will go to Lux Aurea,
where they can corrupt the sun…
and create eternal night.
[Amaya] Hate me all you want, Karim.
I will not shed a tear on the day of your execution.
But Janai will.
She has given so much for the future of the people here
so that we can have lives again.
So that all of us can be safe and happy with the ones we love, with our families.
Families like yours.
[footsteps approaching]
[gasps]
So that's why I made you take the sap swear.
Claudia is going to do something terrible.
You have to stop her.
But we must do it without hurting her.
How can we do that?
Love is what drives her. Especially her love for her family.
Your father broke her heart into little pieces.
But I think there's one person who can put those pieces back together.
What are you getting at?
Your mom.
No, I… [clears throat]
That's not a good idea.
[Terry] She's in Del Bar, isn't she?
We can bring her to Claudia. She can talk to her.
No! It won't work.
Claudia doesn't want to talk to our mom.
- You don't know that. - Okay.
I don't want to talk to our mom.
And who says she even wants to talk to us? She left us.
She left.
Soren.
Besides, I wouldn't even know where to find her.
All I have is a, is a dumb picture of her from when we were kids.
A picture. That's a start.
Where can we find this picture?
[gloomy music playing]
I've been so worried about you.
- Are they treating you well? - Yes.
Your sister has granted me amnesty.
I have nothing to my name, but I am safe.
And…
how is our heir?
Heir?
Is that how you see our child?
I am only thinking of the future, Miyana.
This heir will play a great role in the rebirth of the Sunfire empire.
It's what we dreamed of.
My dreams have changed.
I dream of a child who is healthy and happy,
who plays and laughs, who is loved.
Please, Karim.
We tried to achieve so much,
and we failed.
But this…
this dream, we can have.
You…
You are asking me to give up?
No.
I am asking you to fight…
to stay alive for me.
For our baby.
[melancholy music playing]
[snoring]
[Callum burps] Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry. [laughs]
Moonberry Surprise is even more surprising the second time around.
[laughs] You're gross.
You know what? I think I could do this.
All of it.
Just babysit Moonshadow kids, even the ones who scare me a little bit,
and eat forest food, and get to know Ethari and Runaan better.
[exhales]
[romantic music playing]
Be with you.
Yep. I could do this.
Pretty nice life.
[wings flutter]
[gasps]
[suspenseful music playing]
Astrid?
[Astrid] The mage and the warrior.
So glad I found you.
Um, what?
What are you doing here?
The Fallen Star has returned.
He's in Xadia.
And he's going to bring darkness to the whole world.
[gasps]
