Dragonheart: A New Beginning (2000)

[bunniefuu]

[Man Narrating]

My story begins when

I was but a lad of 16.

It was the year

I became a novice

at Brother Gilbert's monastery,

when I first heard

the prophecy:

A dragon's heart

could do mankind...

when a two-tailed comet

blazed across the night sky.

I paid this leg end

little heed,

for I had come

for a quiet life

of prayer and devotion.

Besides, everyone knew

there were no more dragons.

The last, Draco,

had been slain by Sir Bowen,

a knight of the old code.

I later learned

that in the last year

of his life,

Bowen returned

to Draco's cave.

There he was granted

a miracle,

a dragon egg

about to hatch.

The dying knight entrusted

the hatchling to our monastery.

Fearful evil might dwell


in this dragon's heart,

Friar Peter and the abbot

pledged to hide him away...

until the comet had passed.

For 20 years,

they carefully guarded...

the secret

locked beneath us.

Eight days before


the comet's arrival,

my quiet life

was turned upside down.

Before the week was out,

I'd be embroiled in deception,

mystery and battle.

And who could have known

that Geoff,

the orphan stable boy

at our monastery,

would reveal

the deepest secret...

of what is truly

in a dragon's heart.

[Man]

Make way for

the king's noble knights.

Wishing to be

one of them...

won't get the stables

cleaned any faster.

Where do you think

they're headed

all dressed up like that ?

They're off

to the castle...

to honor Lord Osric

being sworn in...

as the king's

chief advisor.

The castle.

[ Bell Tolling ]

I suggest you get back

to the stable...

before the abbot

catches you around.

I promise I will have the

stables scrubbed cleaner than

the abbot's table by vespers.

And, Friar Peter,

I will even clean

that old dungeon for you,

if you just unlock it

for me.

I'll tell you a secret

about that dungeon:

There's nothing down there...

that can transform you

into a knight.

You're a good boy

at heart.

If you work hard

and practice humility,

you'll be a fine

stable master some day.

I'll be outta here

long before I'm any kind

of stable master.

[ Man ]

I, Lord Osric of Crosley,

choose the old code

as my oath.

I am hereby sworn

to valor,

to speak

only the truth,

to use arms

to defend the helpless,

to use might

to uphold the weak.

My heart

knows only virtue.

My wrath will

undo the wicked.

My king.

As chief advisor,

my goal is nothing less than

ensuring that the old code...

lives on in the hearts

and minds of all people.

Everyone should share

in our kingdom's bounty.

Tomorrow, I shall bestow

a personal gift...

on all men, women

and children in the land.

A gift?

Is it my birthday?

No, Sire.

[ Narrator ]

Everyone was pleased

when Lord Osric...

was named chief advisor...

since our beloved king's

behavior had become so...

unusual of late.

Everyone will receive

two new tunics...

in the style and color suited

to their inherited station.

From now on, no one

will wear anything else.

[ Narrator ]

There I was, so young,

a mere novice entrusted

with the monastery's

most important secret.

Silence was my solemn vow.

Mansel,

what are you doing ?

Geoff.

Looks like old Friar Peter's

cauldron. What would you be

doing with that ?

Can you keep a secret ?

You know I can.

Friar Peter gave me

a new chore to do.

Ooh. Lucky you.

What is it ?

I told you,

it's a secret.

Fine.

A secret chore

from Friar Peter.

That's pretty special.

Don't you think ?

Maybe just

a little special, yes.

Don't say it like that.

Take some pride

in being special.

All right,

I am special.

It's not like pride's

one of those seven deadly sins

or anything.

Actually, it is.

[ Pig Squealing ]

You're right, Geoff.

Manual labor sure keeps

the soul humble.

- Thank you for

getting me to do this.

- Any time.

Don't forget

the corners.

- [ Knocking ]

- Yes ?

Two most unusual strangers

are asking after

Brother Gilbert's writings.

The abbot has

sent them to you.

Very well.

This is Master Kwan

and his son.

I fear I don't have

much hospitality to offer.

Oh. I spent my youth

in a monastery

much like this one,

but we do not

seek comfort.

We have come from

Hebei Province, where man

and dragons lived in peace.

Many years ago,

a terrible evil

set dragon against man,

and all our dragons

were destroyed.

A terrible tale.

Though I have to say,

I don't see...

what this has

to do with me.

I'm told that the founder

of this monastery...

wrote extensively

about dragons,

and that you are

the guardian of his scrolls.

Brother Gilbert

was a kind soul...

with a fanciful imagination

and a poor hand at poetry.

It has been read

in the stars...

that a new dragon

was born.

Surely you are aware

that the prophesied comet

will return in eight days.

We must prevent the evil

from taking hold again.

I am a man of God.

I do not believe

in such superstitious prattle.

Then... the dragon talon

in your pocket...

is a meaningless

talisman ?

It has meaning only

to the monks of this order.

It was passed on

by Brother Gilbert,

who received it from Sir Bowen.

He claimed it belonged

to Draco, the last dragon.

[ Kwan ]

But we must test the dragon

before the comet arrives.

[ Friar Peter ]

There are no dragons here.

But Lord Osric knows

about stars and comets.

Perhaps he can help you.

[ Kwan ]

Thank you.

Good night.

What would Mansel

be doing down here ?

Ah. This was not

a good idea.

[ Screams ]

[ Growling ]

Stay away from me !

[ Growling,

Sniffing ]

[ Growling Continues ]

You know, you-you'd better--

You'd better go.

You're not supposed to be here.

How long have you

been down here ?

I've always been here.

- I'm Geoff.

- I'm Drake.

Here. Give me that.

Seven lashes to anyone

caught without their tunic.

Those men from the East

are still waiting, Lord.

Show them in.

Please.

[ Kwan ]

Thank you for seeing us.

Not at all.

It's an honor.

We are on a quest

related to the arrival

of the two-tailed comet.

Well, you don't have

much time.

According to my star charts

and calculations, the comet

will return one week from today.

What do you hope

to accomplish ?

We seek the dragon

of the prophecy.

Hmm. A noble

though nonsensical mission,

since nothing is left

of dragons but their legend.

- Respectfully. I saw

a dragon's claw just last night.

- Did you ?

Friar Peter claimed

it belong ed to Draco himself,

but can we be sure ?

All this talk of dragons

and prophecies...

will frighten

the common people.

They're terrified of dragons,

with good reason.

For your own safety, you should

leave this kingdom tonight.

Stefan, see them safely

to the border.

[ Bell Tolling ]

[ Narrator ]

Back at the monastery,

Geoff visited the dungeon...

every chance he got.

I suspect he hoped

that knowing Drake...

would somehow lead

to adventure and fame.

Geoff must have been

sorely disappointed to learn

he had befriended a dragon...

who had no idea how to fly

or breathe fire.

Oh, come on, Geoff.

Your tunic

doesn't look that bad.

I hate this thing.

Itches and it's

the color of worm vomit.

That's not the color

of my vomit.

The old code

doesn't say anything...

about what you've got to wear

to become a knight.

Well, I've got about as much

chance of becoming a knight...

as I do of convincing you

to come outside.

Friar Peter made me promise

that I would never go outside.

You're a dragon.

Act like one.

Hey.

Here. Allow me.

It's Friar Peter.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

He can't find you down here.

Hide.

Drake ?

Yes ?

I have sad news.

M-Mansel ?

What ?

What is it ?

Friar Peter is gone.

Where did he go ?

He went to heaven.

Do you know what that means ?

Oh, yes.

Did it hurt him to die ?

I don't think so.

He seemed fine yesterday,

but he was old.

This morning

he just didn't wake up.

He was very fond of you,

you know.

I know I am not

Friar Peter,

but I will do my best

to take care of you.

I promise.

Thank you, Mansel.

[ Groaning ]

I was just talkin'

to him.

I can't believe he--

I don't feel

like talking now.

I'd like to be alone.

[ Whinnies ]

It's that stable boy

from the monastery.

[ Man ]

Oh, let's pay him a visit.

Up. Up. Up.

[ Whinnies ]

Whoa.

Hi. I saw you yesterday.

I'm sorry I didn't stop

to meet you. I'm Roland.

I'm Geoff.

Um, how was the castle ?

Geoff.

Old and stuffy,

but you know how it is.

- Well, I hardly ever

go there anymore.

- You've got a sword.

You want to try

your hand with us ?

Sure.

[ Man Chuckles ]

The stable boy's not bad.

We're just practicing.

[ Screams ]

[ Men Laughing ]

If we weren't practicing,

you'd be dead, stable boy.

Now, lower your eyes.

Peasants should never meet

the gaze of their betters.

[ Men Murmuring,

Laughing ]

- So, this is what

it's like outside.

- Drake !

You had to come out here now,

didn't you ?

I never got to say good-bye

to Friar Peter.

He was the only one

who knew about dragons.

You're lucky to have had him

as long as you did.

But my heart hurts.

You won't feel

this bad forever.

[ Indistinct Chattering ]

Today I make two edicts

in accordance with the old code.

To defend our helpless

and uphold our weak,

those people wearing green,

beige and brown tunics...

must be indoors

one hour after sunset.

Time for

your evening tonic, sire.

And from this day forward,

only the words of truth

will be spoken in our kingdom.

[ Applause ]

Who does Osric think he is ?

Next thing you know, he's gonna

be telling people what to think.

If they wanna

let him do that,

he probably can.

Well, not me.

You're throwing

your tunic away ?

I don't think

that's a very good idea.

- Let's fly away from here.

- But I don't wanna fly.

Of course you want to fly.

What do you think those wings

of yours are for ?

Hmm.

You see those mountains ?

Beyond those are-are

other kinds of people...

and treasure and adventure

and glory.

[ Geoff, Indistinct ]

Hmm ?

[ Kwan ]

So he lives.

The stars didn't lie.

[ Man ]

Those foreigners

had to come back this way.

They can't be far.

Let's split up.

[ Man ]

This way!

[ Geoff Shouting,

Indistinct ]

[ Kwan ]

He's a very young dragon.

We must not allow sentiment

to interfere with our mission.

That boy was

at the monastery.

And then we could come back

and be more famous

than Bowen and Draco.

[ Growling ]

All you have to do is just

open your wings and jump.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying right here.

I like it here.

If it's so easy,

you show me

how to do it.

It would have been

better for everybody...

if I was the dragon

and you were the stable boy.

Go ahead.

I'd like to see that.

Stupid dragon.

Oops.

He's got no tunic.

Let me read your minds.

You wanna know why

I'm not wearing my tunic.

Yeah.

Well, let me tell you...

[ Continues, Indistinct ]

- The boy can take us

to the dragon.

- It's a funny story, actually.

You see,

today was the day when...

all the monks

clean the privies.

[ Man ] What's he take us for ?

And old Friar Gustav must have

thought that my tunic...

was a rag or something,

because he used it to wipe up--

Seven lashes

for the tunic...

and ten for the lie.

[ Men Murmuring In Agreement ]

We seem to have

lost our way.

Perhaps you can point us

in the proper direction ?

Lord Osric told you

to get out of town.

Now, the only direction

I'll show you is toward

the castle dungeon.

Take him !

Be gentle with them.

[ Grunting ]

[ Both Grunting ]

[ Man ]

Come on !

[ Screaming ]

You're a girl ?

I'm Kwan.

This is Lian.

[ Men Yelling ]

We should leave

this area.

This way!

Get him !

Drake ! Drake !

I'm being followed.

You gotta hide.

If the guards see us,

we're dead.

Dead ?

Dead ?

I don't wanna die.

What's happening to you ?

Oh, my.

[ Groans ]

After him !

[ Whinnies ]

[ Grunts ]

Hello again.

Nice day to run

the horses, huh ?

Where are the foreigners ?

I don't know.

They disappeared.

No one can just disappear,

unless I make them.

All right. I give up.

Take me to the dungeon now.

You're not getting off

that easy.

[ Screaming ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Screaming ]

I've got you.

It's all right.

Drake, you're flying.

Of course we're flying.

How do you think

we got way up here ?

Ah, this is great.

Let's go up higher.

Hey !

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Okay. Let's swoop down

and scare the villagers.

Oh, no. This is

dangerous enough as it is.

Don't sound so scared.

You've done

the hard part already.

Actually, I think the hard part

is g oing to be getting down !

Everybody, look out !

Next thing I know,

three Teregoths, just me.

What's that up there ?

[ Woman #1 ]

Look at that.

[ Woman #2 ]

A dragon !

[ Gasping ]

Geoff, any ideas,

because I'm g etting tired ?

[ Indistinct Chatter ]

Lean right.

Lean right. No, left.

Whoa ! You have to lean

right too.

Get me the king's

fastest horses.

Look at that. A dragon.

Four days till the coming.

This alters everything.

Flap a little faster.

Whoa ! Too fast.

Slow down !

The prophecy

must surely be true.

First Friar Peter's

sudden passing, and now this.

It's all my fault,

Father.

[ Osric ]

Faster, men. Faster.

[ Groans ]

Would you loosen up ?

I can hardly breathe.

'' Lean farther. Fly faster.

Hold looser.''

- I can't think of

so many things at once.

-J ust slow down, will you ?

[ Screaming ]

[ Geoff ]

I think that was

a little bit too slow.

[ Coughing ]

[ Growling ]

We made it.

You were great.

Great ?

Even though we crashed ?

Absolutely!

You are a natural.

Thanks.

Uh-oh.

[ Men Yelling ]

Who's smart idea was it

to scare 'em ?

Uh, uh, uh, start flapping.

Start flapping !

I can't flap anymore.

I'm exhausted.

[ Angry Shouting ]

[ Growling ]

Watch out.

That got in my eyes.

Did you see that dragon

that just flew by, headed east

toward the mountains ?

Uh, he was big,

wasn't he ?

Sure was fast.

Probably never see him again.

Must be miles away by now.

Uh, he went that way.

- Hold him !

- [ Man ] He's in there.

Put those down !

[ Geoff ]

You heard him.

Put those down !

[ Peasants Murmuring ]

Can't you see

this is, uh--

Lord Osric,

chief advisor to the king,

at your service,

[ Growling ]

good drag on.

He's a bit shy.

His name is Drake.

I'm-- I mean, we-we are all

so glad to see you, Drake.

And your friend here ?

- Geoff.

- An honor to make

your acquaintance.

When the king saw

your magnificent form

flying overhead,

he requested a favor

of service from you.

- Me ?

- Indeed.

He wishes to appoint you

protector of the realm.

Geoff here will be

adjunct protector of the realm.

Is that anything

like a knight ?

A small step below.

Oh.

As you see,

I was right, milord.

You two again ?

I thought you'd be intelligent

enough to heed my advice

and leave our kingdom.

- Guards.

- No !

These are my friends.

[ Drake Growls ]

These people are

from far away.

See how different

they are ?

[ Growls ]

They do not follow

the old code.

Do not trust them.

He is right.

We should go home.

[ Gasps ]

Mansel.

[ Growling ]

[ Woman ]

Oh, he's moving !

[ Man ] Stand back.

Well, if-if they're friends

of Geoff's, they're friends

of mine.

[ Man ]

He speaks !

Well, then,

they're welcome, of course,

for as long as

you want them to stay.

The dragon will be

an enormous help

in protecting our kingdom.

Nice of him to fly by

when he did.

His arrival was fate,

not courtesy, Sire.

With his help, we can vanquish

the Teregoths once and for all.

dd [ Bagpipes, Out Of Tune ]

I need you to give me

command of the army.

dd [ Stops ]

Immediately.

dd [ Continues ]

I'll interpret that

as your royal approval.

[ Mansel ]

You have no idea

what you've done.

Of course I do. I got Drake

out of that prison that you

and Friar Peter locked him in...

and I taught him to fly,

and I got myself out

of the stables.

Only four more days.

All I had to do was keep

Drake safe.

Then he would have been free

to live his life, but you--

Safe from what ?

What's gonna happen

in four days ?

A prophecy that says

an ancient evil...

will take hold of this land

using a dragon's heart.

Ancient evil ? Drake ?

You got the wrong dragon.

He doesn't have to be evil

for evil to use him.

Drake is an innocent.

He's easily misled.

Don't worry. I'll protect him.

Who's going

to protect him from you ?

[ Sighs ]

Excuse me, miss.

Put those back.

This is a monastery.

We don't allow girls.

[ Lian ]

Please, no one must know that.

Hey, Mansel !

You knew about her,

didn't you ?

Shame on you,

Mansel.

Don't you remember

the abbot's sermon about

that old tradition, sanitary ?

- Sanctuary.

- Yeah.

Well, we should show her

some sanctuary.

You're a monk, Mansel.

That's what monks do.

All right.

All right.

- Don't worry.

He'll keep your secret.

- Thank you.

I'm glad you're movin' in.

The food is lousy, but the place

more than makes up for that

with its lack of excitement.

You want help

with those ?

I can handle them.

I've never seen

anyone fight like you.

Don't touch the ramhead !

Bad luck.

Oh.

I've never seen

anyone fight like you.

Where'd you learn to do that ?

Master Kwan taught me.

Do all girls fight

where you come from ?

Do you like wearing

girl's clothes, or is that

why you're dressed like a boy ?

Can you believe

all this fuss ?

That's the boy

who found the dragon.

Isn't he just

a stable boy ?

Hey, Mansel,

have you seen Drake ?

All right.

I'll keep looking.

Hey, you have fun,

'cause it's not like

gluttony is on that

seven deadly sin list too.

If it isn't that

fencing stable boy

at the castle at last.

Well, your tunic doesn't seem

so great now, does it ?

You only have that tunic

because you're friends

with the dragon.

Without him,

you are still a peasant.

Roland,

Geoff's well on his way

to becoming a knight.

Isn't that true, Roland ?

And what do you get if you don't

tell the truth in our kingdom ?

Ten lashes.

One more word

and I'll have to double that.

Come with me.

You've handled

swords before.

None like this.

Then, shall we ?

En garde.

[ Narrator ]

As the time grew near

for Kwan and Lian...

to test the purity

of the dragon's heart,

the gravity of what

they might have to do...

weighed heavily

upon them.

A shot through the heart

with this poison...

will k*ll him

fast and clean.

If he fails,

he will feel no pain.

Unlike all the dragon

my great grandfather

m*rder*d.

If you allow your misplaced

guilt to affect you

at the pivotal moment,

you will doom

us all, child.

- Would you

prefer if I--

- No.

This is my burden.

I will do what I must.

I just pray that

Drake passes this test.

You have natural talent.

You deserve special

attention, my boy.

Perhaps you'd

consider taking rooms

here at the castle.

Me live here ?

That way, I could

tutor you personally.

Where can

my guards collect

Drake's belongings ?

Drake's ?

I assumed you and him

were a team.

Well, I think he'd be

too scared to leave

the monastery.

Poor creature.

We wouldn't want

to make him uncomfortable.

I'm sure you can

convince him

to make regular visits.

I'm sure he'd

like that a lot.

What do you think it would take

for a stable boy

to become a knight ?

Now come at me faster.

The most fundamental

attribute of a knight

is his commitment !

He should want it

more than anything else.

More than wealth.

More than adventure !

[ Exhales ]

More than friendship.

Do you want it

that bad ?

Yes, I do.

You'll make a positively

heroic knight.

It's written...

in the stars.

[ Growling ]

This is what

I wanted you to see.

It is a ritual mask based

on the most famous dragon

in the East.

But it...

looks so angry.

[ Kwan ]

This amulet...

has been imbued

with all the wisdom

of the ancient dragons.

If you do as I say,

you will receive

all that knowledge

in an instant.

[ Drake ]

I've always dreamed

of learning about dragons,

but how can I possibly

learn so much all at once ?

[ Kwan ] You must open

your most vulnerable spot,

your heart,

to the dragon's mouth,

then touch the amulet,

and the wisdom

will be yours.

[ Drake ]

Open up my heart ?

Oh, you mean...

like...

like this ?

Just touch the amulet.

Drake !

Isn't there another way

for me to learn ?

I-I could teach you,

but that would take years.

I don't want to touch

that thing. It's evil.

[ Sighs ]

[ Gasps ]

What are you doin'

to my dragon ?

Nothing.

Everything is

all right now.

That is

most inappropriate.

[ Man ]

Get your

dragon portraits !

[ Chattering, Laughing ]

Drake ! Kwan said

you passed some

kind of test,

so he's gonna

teach you all

the old dragon secrets.

And I've got Osric

practically begging me

to learn how to be a knight.

Isn't it great ?

Look what I brought you

from Osric's library.

[ Drake ] What ?

Books about dragons

and knights.

I do not trust him,

nor do I trust

this Osric.

The danger is

still great.

We must stay close

to the dragon until

the comet has passed.

[ Drake ]

I've seen these stars before,

through the grate in my room.

They always made me

feel better somehow.

Those are the stars

of the constellation Draco,

the souls

of your ancestors.

[ Drake ]

Tell me more.

[ Kwan ] A long time ago,

dragons ruled

the earth.

When people appeared,

drag ons saw their

potential for good...

and shared

their dragon wisdom,

pledging to watch over humans

and help them grow.

The souls of dragons...

who fulfilled

that pledge became stars.

Their spirits are

still up there...

comforting anyone

who cares to look.

Like a dragon heaven.

[ Kwan ]

Exactly.

The last soul to join

was a mighty drag on...

who shared his heart

with a prince...

who was wounded

in battle.

While the dragon lived,

the prince was invincible,

sharing the

dragon's strength...

Really ?

and his every pain.

Oh.

[ Kwan ] A dragon

must be very cautious...

before sharing his heart.

If the human's heart

is a corrupt one,

the dragon can lose

his place in heaven...

forever.

[ Drake ]

That's awful.

[ Growling ]

[ Geoff ]

Drake, look at this.

[ Drake ]

Why is that dragon

chewing on a cow ?

Looks like dinner

to me.

[ Drake ]

Dinner ? Hmm.

Come along, girl.

[ Cow Mooing ]

Where'd you go ?

[ Moans ]

My cow.

[ Lian Yells ]

[ Lian Laughing ]

Not bad for your first lesson.

Now attack me again.

When exactly do I

get to throw you ?

[ Dog Barking ]

Geoff !

Sorry I'm late.

[ Burps ]

- Excuse me.

- Oh. Cow breath.

- [ Drake ] What are you gonna

teach me first, Master Kwan ?

- Teach him to blow fire now.

No, breathing fire

is dangerous.

[ Groans ]

Stop being

such a monk, Mansel.

How does

he breathe fire ?

[ Kwan ]

First, you must learn

to open your fire lung.

Inhale through

your nose...

and concentrate

on passing the air

deep in your throat.

Fill your lungs.

It will sound like this.

[ Snoring Sound ]

You try.

Something's wrong.

Get down.

Turn that way so

you don't hit the mill,

then let it

all out !

[ People Screaming ]

[ Dog Barking ]

[ expl*si*n ]

You can call him

protector of the realm,

but he destroyed my mill !

He can't go 'round

plucking up cows

and flying off with them.

[ Osric ]

I can see you're

both very distressed.

I'm glad you came

directly to me about this.

Fix your mill.

Buy yourself

a new cow,

and remember:

our dragon is the last

of a magnificent race.

He deserves

our utmost respect.

Hmm ?

Dragon lover.

Peasants. Pay them

no bother, lad.

Small minds see what they wish

and require guidance

to understand the truth.

Now, let us go outside

and see Drake...

so you can both tell me

what really happened

at the mill, hmm ?

Drake didn't want to come.

He's too embarrassed.

Kwan tried to teach him

how to blow fire,

but it came out the other end.

You left him

with Kwan.

And what else does

the old man plan

on teaching Drake ?

I don't know exactly.

Something about all the wisdom

of the ancient dragons, I think.

Bring the old man

to me at once.

Yes, my Lord. It shall be done.

[ Drake ]

No. No, no.

This can't be right.

All these knights are-are

hurting dragons.

[ Geoff ]

Drake !

Sorry I didn't

come home last night,

but look what Osric gave me.

W-Weren't we supposed

to go flying this morning ?

Well, Osric has a lot

to teach me if I'm

gonna become a knight.

We'll fly tomorrow.

[ Drake ]

Geoff,

you don't plan

to be like the knights

in this book, do you ?

Sure.

Just like them.

Come on.

Kwan and Lian are gonna

teach you something new today.

Is there something wrong

with the air up here ?

Well, if Friar Peter had ever

let you open your shutters

in the winter, you'd know.

- It's fog.

- Friar Peter didn't

want him to catch cold.

We should go back

to the monastery

before Drake gets sick.

Breathing ice is

an old dragon secret...

that few were able

to master.

That's him.

This way.

You have a sense

of your fire lung now.

Your ice lung

is beside it.

Do you know how

to generate sputum ?

What ?

He means do you

know how to spit ?

Well, then why didn't

he say so ?

Like this, Drake.

- Ah.

- That's very good.

Sputum expelled with air

from your ice lung

will come out frozen.

- Sounds simple to me.

- You don't even have

an ice lung.

I don't have wings,

but I figured out

how to land.

I will not stand by

and let you

berate him like that.

What are you

gonna do, Mansel ?

Whip me with your tassel ?

- [ Drake ] I can't make spit.

-Just suck on your tongue,

but don't swallow.

Oh, come on !

You did that on purpose !

[ Drake ]

I got some spit

in my mouth.

Open your ice lung

and blow !

- Mansel, duck !

- What ?

Oh, no.

I've k*lled him.

Mansel ?

Are you

all right ?

I'm going back

to the monastery

before I catch my death.

Here.

Take my coat.

Thank you.

Got to get my anger

under control, or something

bad's going to happen.

[ Groans ]

[ Groaning Continues ]

You're coming with us,

old man.

[ Lian ]

Drake is pretty disappointed.

[ Geoff ] He shouldn't be.

Didn't Kwan say that

most dragons can't breathe ice ?

Geoff.

Geoff, he is

disappointed in you.

In me ? Why, 'cause I

didn't go flying

with him this morning ?

I have more important things

to do if I'm gonna be--

Don't you know what

a miracle it is

Drake even exists ?

Years ago,

a dragon named Griffin...

led a rebellion

against our imperial city.

When virtuous dragons

captured Griffin,

they took his heart

as punishment

and placed it in here.

This is the withered heart

of the betrayer

of the dragon pledge.

[ Geoff ]

That's a dragon's heart ?

The virtuous dragons

brought this amulet

to the Emperor Kuo-fan...

as proof that

the evil had been destroyed.

But by then,

the emperor was too fearful.

He k*lled every dragon

in the East.

Drake is the last

of his kind.

He is more alone

than you could

possibly imagine.

[ Man ]

Now watch again closely.

Toss smooth and easy.

Like this.

Now try it again,

Sire.

Better every day,

Sire.

[ Chuckles ]

- Now open wide.

- My Lord.

[ Osric ]

Ah, Master Kwan.

How nice of you to visit.

If you could just

stay there for a moment,

I have some vital affairs

to discuss with the king.

That's enough

of your dalliance

for tonight.

Now put your

official seal on this.

What is this ?

An order

of succession, Sire,

granting me your lands

and powers in the unlikely event

of your premature death.

Oh, is that all ?

Now off to bed

with you.

Good night, Osric.

Sleep well, my King.

Tomorrow's

an important day.

For when the comet arrives,

this charade will end.

Oh, yes, Master Kwan !

Stefan, how could you

be so rude ?

Take that old sack

off our honored guest's head.

I guess you weren't

expecting me.

My mistake.

I'll take care of it.

Ah.

You've served me loyally

for many years.

Is that not right,

Stefan ?

Yes, sir.

And in all that time,

have you ever made

a mistake before ?

No, my Lord.

[ Osric ]

Watch closely, monk.

[ Stefan Moaning ]

I won't tell.

I swear by the Holy Rood

I won't say a thing.

That's right.

Just like your king.

You won't say

a single coherent thing.

Now off to the dungeon

with you like

a good, little monk.

It's hot in here.

You are all incompetents !

I must do this

myself.

Take the guards to the monastery

for Kwan. I'll meet you there

with my knights.

Tonight will bring

an end to our deceptions.

This disguise has

served me well.

I am comfortable here.

Morning.

New trouble approaches.

[ Horses Whinnying ]

[ Man ]

All of us for

one old man and a boy ?

The old man and his son

are coming with us.

This has to be

some kind of a mistake.

I'll go talk to Osric.

- You're not

in charge here, squire.

- We shall be gone tomorrow.

You'll be gone now !

[ Yelling ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Yells ]

I might have known

you'd end up with the rest

of the swillage, stable boy.

- Go to the cart.

Pull the ram's head.

- [ Yelling Continues ]

[ Man ]

Regroup ! Regroup !

[ Yelling ]

- [ Whinnying ]

- Stop this at once !

Told you it was

a mistake.

There is no mistake.

Until the comet is passed,

Kwan and his ward will be

my guests at the castle.

No. We must stay

with Drake.

But I thought you said--

[ Osric ]

Geoff.

These people are not

like you and me.

What do we really know

of their intentions ?

This is in Drake's

best interest.

Don't you agree ?

All right.

Um-hmm.

[ Man ]

Come on. Let's go.

You too.

Now, where is Drake ?

It's time for him

to assume his responsibilities

as protector of the realm.

The Tereg oths have attacked

our border house.

All the knights

of the realm...

are needed.

[ Yelling ]

[ Osric ]

Onward, men ! To defend

the country and the old code !

Come on, you !

I'm hot. Does the abbot know

how hot it is down here ?

Probably doesn't care.

Old bully never lets

anyone do what they want.

Well, I'll talk

as loud as I can !

Shh. Got to be quiet

all the time.

[ Cackling ]

[ Yells ]

I know you.

Did you know

your son is a girl ?

They don't allow girls

in the monastery.

But I won't tell

if you don't.

I like girls.

Hmm.

[ Growls ]

Geoff, I don't like

the looks of this.

This is exactly

the kind of adventure

we've been talking about.

Drake, this is

my big chance.

Don't let me down.

[ Osric ]

Drake, stay here

and guard our backs.

Be careful, Geoff.

Follow me.

Stay close.

The Tereg oths k*lled

our border guards.

Quiet.

Something's wrong.

Ambush !

[ Yelling ]

Geoff !

No !

[ Yelling Continues ]

[ Screaming ]

Excellent job.

[ Horse Whinnying ]

Geoff ! Look out !

No !

[ Breathing Heavily ]

Geoff,

tell Drake

to give me his heart.

[ Growling ]

How bad is he hurt ?

You've got to share

your heart with him.

Are you sure ?

- Hurry. He's dying.

- He saved your life.

I'll try.

[ Growling ]

Wait ! Stop !

- What ?

- Something's wrong.

He's not really hurt.

He set us up.

- [ Grunts ]

- [ Osric ]

Grab him !

- I would have

knighted you tonight.

- [ Drake ] Let him go !

But there's no valor

in you, stable boy.

[ Drake ] No !

No !

Don't hurt him !

Give me your heart,

or he dies.

- [ Yelling ]

- [ Drake ]

Come on, Geoff! Run !

After them !

Let's go !

- Oh, no.

- [ Man ]

He's down !

Geoff, get down !

Whoa.

It is my destiny

to become king...

and rule over man.

By all the stars

in heaven, I will have

that heart tonight !

dd [ Humming ]

[ Burps ]

dd [ Humming Continues ]

Who are you ?

How did you

get in here ?

I just woke up

and was here.

Where's the monk

and the boy

and the old man ?

Shh.

Uh, who ?

[ Man ]

Come here !

Put your hands

through the bars.

[ Chuckles ]

Come on.

They need us

at the front gate.

Mansel !

Hello ?

[ Chuckles ]

Do you have

the ingredients

to brew an antidote ?

Yes.

Black lotus.

He must have been

to the Orient.

You were right

not to trust Osric...

and the boy.

Though it was insolent

of me to point it out

so boldly, Highness.

You haven't called me

that in a long time,

Master Kwan.

Oh, you will grow

accustomed to it again

soon enough.

Drink this, Mansel.

This way, Sire.

dd [ Humming ]

What's that sound ?

It's music.

I like music.

[ Man ] You're not

supposed to be--

[ Groaning ]

Highness.

But have I not had

my medicine ?

This is

a new potion, Highness.

It will clear

your head.

[ Man #1 ]

Surround 'em !

[ Man #2 ]

Take this side.

You came here looking

for the dragon

and found him.

Now, I must find him,

and time grows short.

Where is he ?

I have been

your honored guest all day.

How could I possibly know ?

A girl.

- You look familiar.

- Perhaps you met

one of my relative...

while you were

gathering herbs

to poison your king.

The amulet of

the Chinese emperor,

Kuo-fan.

[ Kwan ]

I understand now.

- So, it is you !

- Who, Master Kwan ?

In the flesh.

Throw the amulet

in the fire !

[ Yelling ]

I thought

this was destroyed.

Daughter of the house

of Kuo-fan.

On the night

of my destiny,

I repay you

for your ancestor's sins !

No !

[ Gasps ]

I have...

failed you.

Kwan, now shh.

You are

my loyal servant,

my wise master...

and my closest friend.

[ Sniffling ]

[ Geoff ]

Hurry, Drake !

The prodigal

dragon returns.

You'll be pleased

to know you can

keep your heart...

as the little empress here

was kind enough

to provide me with this.

m*rder*r !

He k*lled Master Kwan,

and he's about--

Silence !

Kuo-fan was

the m*rder*r,

as was Bowen !

Bowen was a knight

of the old code.

I've shown you

the true meaning

of the old code.

It's a way

to control people

weaker than you !

No, Bowen's real legacy

was written

in the blood of dragons.

But one solitary dragon...

escaped Bowen's wrath

and fled to the East,

a dragon who learned

that the pledge

to serve mankind...

was nothing more

than a cruel joke !

Oh, oh, he sought

his revenge,

but in the end,

his heart too was...

plundered,

and he...

was cursed...

to live out his life...

in the form

he hated most:

as a man !

[ Drake Growls ]

But tonight--

Tonight that curse

is ended.

[ People Gasping ]

[ Heart Beating ]

- [ Rumbling ]

- The heart of the prophecy

was never Drake's.

It was Griffin's.

Drake, child.

Come.

There's another dragon ?

[ Griffin ]

Little brother,

we must teach mankind

their place

as our servants.

Come to me, and we'll

fulfill the comet's

prophecy together.

Y-You called me brother.

[ Griffin ]

Come.

I'll teach you

what it really means

to be a dragon.

- Drake, don't go !

- That's it, brother !

Geoff, I'm not alone.

Drake, listen to me !

I know that I hurt you,

and I'm sorry,

but he's going to enslave

mankind forever.

Get out of Drake's way!

Geoff !

[ Drake ]

Geoff!

If it wasn't for Geoff,

I would've given you

my heart...

and lost my soul.

He's my real brother !

Poor choice

of siblings, Drake.

[ expl*si*n ]

Drake, use your tail !

You'll pay

for that, peasant !

Ice ?

How did you--

[ Yells ]

Oh !

Geoff !

We made it !

Geoff ?

He's gone.

Step away.

Mansel,

what are the words ?

I offer my heart...

to make you whole,

[ Drake ]

To make you whole,

[ Both ]

its strength

to purify your weakness.

[ Breathing Deeply ]

[ Gasps ]

Geoff.

What happened ?

My heart hurts.

You mean our heart hurts,

but it won't feel

this bad forever.

[ Narrator ]

And so, evil

was vanquished,

and the old code restored.

Lian returned to her

royal duties for a time,

while I came home

to the monastery...

and was awarded guardianship

of Brother Gilbert's scrolls.

A life of prayer

and devotion was mine at last,

but it was

a great deal quieter

than I remembered.

As for Geoff

and Drake,

they finally had what they'd

really wanted from the start:

a brother,

a family.

See the sun's

last glimmering ray

Fading fast

to end our day

Though I long

for you to stay

Spirits call

and you obey

You'll fly far

from me

Though in truth

you're still home

Sail across the sea

Nature blooms

Where you roam

When trees grow

The leaves show

My heart goes

with you

Hear the hush

whene'er you sigh

Sorrow weeps

down from the sky

Though we've whispered

our good-bye

Everywhere you go

Am I

From this life

you flee

As the draft

grows so cold

Oh, and now

you're free

Feel the future unfold

As winds blow

The breeze shows

My heart goes

with you

When streams flow

All shores know

My heart goes

with you

You'll fly far

from me

Though in truth

You're still home

Sail across the sea

Nature blooms

Where you roam

When trees grow

The leaves know

My heart goes

with you
