Talon: Previously on
"The Outpost"...

It's written in Blackblood.

Guardian of the Asterkinj, the
moment to awaken me has arrived.

Why do the others of your kind
call you the Betrayer?

After I put my brothers
and sisters to sleep,

this is where I hid the kinjes,

the keys to our souls,
our sources of strength.

My kind do not belong here.

From the seven handprints
in the Skevikor room,

it seems all seven are needed
to complete their mission.

Are you ready
to pay for your sins?

I am ready.
Meet me at the Skevikor.

- What have you done?
- The end begins now.

You must save them.

Marvyn, we don't have the means

of reviving even one
more of your people,

let alone thousands.

We could barely save you
with the few herbs we had.

You don't understand.

The Skevikor opens
so the Kahvi may wake
at the hands of the Masters.

If they aren't woken soon--

( wheezing )

Janzo.

Oh!

If they aren't woken soon,

they will all die like this.

We need to get going.

The other six of your kind
are on their way to the Outpost.

We need a plan.

It will come.

I don't understand
why you can't just put them
to sleep like you did last time.

Because I was too merciful
the last time.

My brothers' and sisters' hunger
for immortality is insatiable.

I should've known
their captivity wouldn't last.

Sleep is not enough.

They must die.

Then how do we kill them?

I'm working on it.

What does that mean? Aster?

What's happening?

Talon?

( theme music playing )

So you wanna tell me
what happened back there?

For a moment it looked like you
were gonna kiss the weirdo.

It was so strange.

It was like I was peering
into his soul.

I couldn't break free.

I never felt a connection
like that before.

He's doing some magic
mumbo jumbo to seduce you,

that's what he's doing.

It's not like that,
I assure you.

That feeling you had,

you've been the guardian
of my kinj for so long.

My soul and yours have spent
many years entwined
in your body.

They are bonded together.

Mm-hmm.
Like lovers, I suppose.

More like family.

Do you understand?

Strangely, I do.

I don't trust him.

- I do.
- Why?

Well, you heard
his explanation.

Yeah, and I don't believe him.

I think he's got you
under some sort of spell.

I don't think so.
I'm linked to him.

It's hard to explain.

Hmm.

Aster, that's the wrong way.

- Wait here.
- What for?

We need to cover more ground
before nightfall.

Talon, wait.
What if he needs to, like,

relieve himself or something?

I don't wanna know
what that's like.

Aster, we need to keep moving.

What are you doing?

Whoa, look at that.

Aster:
The being I loved
above all others

was buried beneath
all of that.

A friend showed me this once.

He told me it was an ancient
Blackblood stronghold.

Were you here
when this was built?

No.

This was after my time,

but it was built on the site
of our first settlement.

The first settlement
of the Seven?

No, the first settlement
of my offspring,

those you call the Blackbloods.

Your offspring?

The Blackbloods?
I don't understand.

How are we your offspring?

Has so much
been lost over time?

Aster, what is your relationship
to the Blackbloods?

- I am father of you all.
- What does that even mean?

I don't understand.

This world, so full of life,

it took me years to find among
all the other worlds out there.

When I brought
the other six here,

I didn't realize the precious
nature of its inhabitants.

- The Blackbloods?
- The humans.

The other six didn't care.
Only I was fascinated by them,

their ways,
their intelligence,

so vulnerable,
but with a strength of spirit
I had never seen.

Before I knew it,
I had fallen in love
with one of them.

The lady at the river.

Yes. Tallya.

You said the Masters were
endlessly taking life
from every species out there

so that we might live forever.

But Tallya showed me
the beauty of the first

intelligent species
that we had found.

- Humans.
- Yes.

To this day, I am convinced that
you humans are related to us

in some even more distant past.

It's the only way it could have
been possible for me

to father a child with Tallya.

Father a child?

The baby you protected
from Golu?

( baby crying )

Yes.

That child
was your ancestor, Talon.

The first Blackblood.

So all Blackbloods
are part human?

Yes. Part human, part me.

Your human friend here
is a distance cousin of yours.

That is why I betrayed
the Six, Talon.

It's why I won't
let them succeed now.

You're more my family
than the other six ever were.

If being open makes
the Kahvi vulnerable, then
we simply close the Skevikor.

Yes, and then maybe
we could put them back
in their protective sleep.

Right.
How do we do that?

- Uh...
- Marvyn? Hold this.

You used this sequence
to unlock the Skevikor, right?

Do you think if we use it again,
it'll close it perhaps?

Maybe all the Kahvi
will return to their stasis?

I do not know.

Well, it's worth a try, yes?

Sure, sure. All right.

- Janya. Kultor.
- Janya.

Levare. Aster,

- Golu.
- Golu.

Tera. Vorta.

Wren: Nothing.

Perhaps backwards.

- Yes, backwards.
- Yes?

Right.

- Vorta. Tera.
- Vorta.

Are you sure it was them?

The supposed gods?
The monsters?

Inhuman they were,
all six of them.

And they killed everyone?
Burned their village
to the ground?

Ankril's Crossing is halfway
between the Capital and here.

They may be making their way
to the Outpost.

Are you certain there were six?
Not five? Not seven?

I know my numbers, sir.
It was six.

This is what I was afraid of.

Even burning Golu to ash didn't
stop him from rising again.

Yes, but Talon-- it sounds
like she still has her kinj.
Maybe she was successful.

Well, where the hell is she?

So, Blackbloods and us
have been at war

forever over whose world
this is.

- Aster: Fools.
- But in the end,
it was Blackbloods

fighting amongst ourselves
that led to our near extinction.

I'm just grateful my kinj
was kept amongst a clan

wise enough
to renounce violence.

Your ancestral mothers
were very wise women.

My grandmother
and her grandmother
were both called Tallya.

That was the name
of your first love.

Yes, and you're named
after all of them.

But they're Tallya. I'm Talon.

Tallya in Yindrian
is the same word as Talon
in your newer language.

Tell me,
are you in possession
of the ahl-kora blades?

The ahl-kora blades?

When we put the Six to sleep,
we used weapons of ahl-kora,

a substance
not from this world.

Only these weapons
can be used to separate

the souls of my kind
into kinj form.

I've never heard
of such weapons.

If I'd seen one,
I'd have stolen it for sure.

It sounds valuable.

How could they have been lost?

They were supposed to be
passed from generation

to generation
as my kinj was.

Your mother should've had them.

( screaming )

My mother's blade.

When my people
renounced violence,

it was the one weapon she kept.

A wise woman, indeed,
your mother.

This is ahl-kora.

This is what we need to stop
my brothers and sisters.

There should be
six more of them.

That's the only one I know of.

But each weapon
can only be used once.

But there are six others
of your kind.

Then you have to be sure
to use it on the right one.

Backwards, forwards, order
of the Masters' awakening.

Nothing works.

I thought
I was freeing my people,

but I have caused their death.

If we cannot save them,

then perhaps it's better
that the Masters succeed.

Better for the Kahvi
to be slaves

to the Masters than to die.

Marvyn, the Masters succeeding

would mean the destruction
of this world

and all its inhabitants.

Us.

- My friends.
- Janzo: Mm-hmm.

And thousands more like us.

Too much death either way.

What does one do when
there is no good choice?

Talon? Talon!

Garret.

I was afraid you wouldn't
be happy to see me.

- The way we left things--
- I could never stay mad at you.

I'm just grateful
to see you alive.

You succeeded then?

Destroyed the body
of the seventh?

Mmm, not exactly.

I passed on my kinj, Garret.
We woke him.

- What?
- This is Aster.

Whoa. He's an ally.

- The hell he is.
- He wants to help us.

I know exactly what he wants--

access to
what's below the Outpost
so he can free their army.

As soon as they have that,
we're disposable.

He's the one who stopped
the other Masters.

He helped put them to sleep
thousands of years ago.

Is that so?
And why should I trust you?

Don't trust me. Trust Talon.
She loves you very much.

She deserves your trust.

The first time she met you,
at that gate...

And she saved your life
with a poison kiss.

The first time you made love--

That's-- that's enough.

- It's the kinj.
- They're connected.

Trust Talon.

She knows I'm the only hope to
end this evil once and for all.

And you have another way
to stop the other six?

I do. No one wants
them gone more than I.

You can trust him, Garret.

All right.

But you stay
under Talon's watch

and keep that damn head
of yours covered.

I am not the only one here

who has learned
to hate your kind.

This space will be fine.

How long is this
going to take you?

I don't know.

What is it you do
with your power
when you meditate like that?

I search the cosmos.

I couldn't use
the kinj that way.

You will. You did.

When you first opened
the portal.

Yeah, but I didn't
even know I had it.

I mean, my mother didn't
explain anything to me.

My kinj, my power,
gave you an answer.

It took you time
to understand it.

And what are you
searching for now?

- More answers.
- ( knock on door )

- Talon!
- Zed, you're alive.

When I heard Golu
was resurrected,

I thought you'd been
killed for your kinj.

Unfortunately it was Nedra
that was killed, not me.

I'm so sorry, Zed.

It's good to see you, Talon.

Luna.

Talon, who's your friend?

Talon:
Remember that crazy idea I had
to wake Aster?

You didn't.

Luna, with her
Dragman abilities,

helped me realize
it was the right choice.

Ah, no. You can't blame this
on me if it all goes sideways.

Zed, Wren, meet Aster.

Gods above.

You're the one the Six
call the Betrayer.

Happy to meet
more of my children.

Talon told me
there aren't many of you left.

Your children?

If you'll excuse me,

I have some work to do.

It was nice to meet you.

His children, Talon?
He said his children.
What does that mean?

Preferably in silence.

Luna, will you stay with Aster?

We need a drink.

I could use one, too,
you know. Fine.

Fine.

So you're saying
the entire Blackblood race

- began with Aster
and human woman?
- Yes.

He fell in love.
That's why he betrayed the Six.

Munt, I told you,
I'll do all our work today.

- You need to heal.
- Thanks, Warlita,

but I'm done healed
thanks to your tender touch.

And for Zed for saving me!

Remember? You saved my life.

Come on, come on.
Let's go, let's go.

Go, go, go.

So the three of you
are in fact half human

and half whatever Aster is.

And our child would just be
another variation.

- Fascinating.
- Janzo, this means
that the Kahvi--

The Kahvi share common ancestors
with you and our child.

Blackbloods have faced
near extinction before.

We can't let the Kahvi die.

They're not just
a people in need,
they're our ancestors in need.

All the war, the division,

and the hate between
humans and Blackbloods
for thousands of years,

and it turns out we're family.

Thank you all for meeting.

The most pressing matter,
of course,

is that the Six
are on their way here.

Aster called them
here to reconcile

knowing they will be drawn
to the Skevikor room
to take back their slaves.

And Aster says he has the means
for us to defeat them.

- Right, Talon?
- Yes.

- How?
- He's working on it.

Working on it?
That's not very reassuring.

You'd think maybe
he would work out

his master plan first
and then summon

his mortal enemies to
our Outpost, wouldn't you?

- Just a thought.
- How far away are the Six?

Two or three days from here.

Last spotted
at Ankril's Crossing yesterday.

Aster put every person
in this Outpost in harm's way.

- How can you be sure
of his motives?
- What does that mean?

He's called the Six here
under the pretense
of reconciliation, right?

What if that
isn't the pretense?

What if the pretense
is with us?

Because it's not.

- I know him.
- For what, two days?

I know him because I've had
his kinj inside my head
for most of my life.

It's funny that,
because I've had a kinj
in my head, too,

and I know nothing about
the monster it belongs to.

You had yours a few months.

Aster put the Six down
to protect us,

and I'm telling you
he'll do it again.

Talon, is it possible that
Aster could be manipulating you

precisely because
you've had his kinj
in your head for so long?

For the last time,
he's not manipulating me.

Either way, it sounds like
we can't rely on Aster

to be ready to face the Six
when we need him to be,

so I propose
we evacuate the Outpost.

- Evacuate?
- Everyone?

Yes, everyone.
With the threat the Six pose,

there is no point
sacrificing anyone,

- not even soldiers.
- Agreed.

Then it's decided.
We'll start preparations
at first light.

Aster's one of us, Zed.
We're his kin.

The gods are even more his kin,

and now they call him
the Betrayer.

All right. Two carriages.

Munt, don't lift so much.

- Bah!
- Let Janzo do it.

Don't worry, Warlita.
He's completely recovered.

Right,
I need the two of you
to be in charge

of the Nightshade's stores
going to the evacuation.

Janzo, shouldn't you
be in charge of this stuff?

I'm not going, Munt.

Wren and I are going
to stay here.

What? Why?

We have our reasons.
Go on.

What do you suppose
that's all about?

I don't know.

All right.

Marvyn,
I've secured you spot
on the caravan.

As long as you stay close
to Warlita and Munt,
you should be fine.

I will not leave the Kahvi.

Why risk your life, huh?

Once this is all over,
you can come back.

When this is over, my people
will either be enslaved
or they will be dead.

Marvyn,
Janzo and I are staying

to see if something can be
done to help the Kahvi.

You are staying...

to stand against the Masters?

Ooh, I wouldn't--

We're hoping that Aster
and the others

do most of the hard work,
but, yes.

That's the plan.

- We can't abandon the Kahvi.
- You are good friends.

I will stay as well.

All right.

Each of your captains
will have 500 civilians

under their company's watch.

Every step that you put
between your caravan

and this Outpost,
is one step closer to safety.

Dismissed.

I used to visit
my best friend in this room.

Watching her give orders.

It's strange seeing you
in her place.

It should be you.

Don't start that again.

Garret, before I left,
you asked me a question.

Look, it was selfish of me
to ambush you like that.

- If you need time to figure
out what you want, then-- -
Shh.

The answer to
your question is yes.

- Yes?
- I'll marry you.

Are you sure?

I love you, Garret.

I've loved you
since the night we met
outside these Outpost walls.

So Aster implied.

And for the record,

I have always loved you, too.

( knocking on door )

Aster?

Uh, excuse me.

Sorry, I know you're busy
working on a plan

to save the world and all,
but, uh, we have a problem

which I wonder
if you could help us solve.

What is it?

Well, as you know,
the Skevikor's been unlocked.

And as a result,
the Kahvi are now exposed,

and their protected sleep is,
well, not so protected anymore.

- I'm aware.
- Of course you are.

Uh, the best we can tell
is that they're all going to die

if they're not properly revived.

Yes.

The Kahvi require the life force
that Janya has been gathering

in order to wake
from their stasis.

Without it,
they will all be dead in days.

Exactly. Is there a way
we can put them back

into their protected sleep
so they don't all die
needlessly?

You studied the altar
at the Skevikor?

Yes.

And you noticed
the seven handprints?

Yes.

The Kahvi cannot be returned to
their stasis

without all Seven
at the Skevikor altar,

and the other six do not wish
the Kahvi to be suspended.

- They want them enslaved.
- Yes.

As soon as Janya's
life force has been given,

Vorta will insert
the naviaspores
and enslave them.

Well, surely there must be
something you can do.

You-- you are a god after all.

There is not,
and I'm no more
of a god than you are.

If I may,
you don't seem to care at all

about the fact that you've just
let thousands of people die.

The Kahvi are not people.

They are bred for one purpose,

to serve their endlessly
destructive Masters.

Regardless of what
they're bred for,

the Kahvi are people,
in a sociological sense, I mean.

They have the potential
for a good life, a free life.

I'm afraid they do not.

The only way to save them
requires that we allow the Six
access to the Skevikor room,

and I cannot allow that.

Ah, so there is a way,
you just choose not to do so.

There is a choice

between saving your kind
and this world

or saving my kind
and the Kahvi,

and I'm sorry,
but that is an easy choice
for me to make.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'd like to continue
with my work,

or I won't save either.

Smoke, sir,
on the horizon.

Garret:
That's Taernsmouth village
burning.

- Are you sure?
- Aye.

The Six are coming faster
than we anticipated.

These people
are not going to make it
out of here in time.

At the rate they're coming,
the Six will arrive

before our people can make it
out of the valley.

- Lambs to the slaughter.
- I mean, is Aster even ready?

I mean, can he ride out
to face the Six now?

No.

He needs more time.

Then we have to find a way
to stall the Six,

slow down their approach,

give our people
a chance to get out.

- How?
- They have Janya.

They're virtual unstoppable
with her power of healing.

Zed: And unapproachable,
with Kultor's fire.

We need something big.

Something that will
get in their way.

What?

What is it, Janzo?

I have an idea, but, um,

well, I'm loath to say it.

If-- if they're just
beyond Taernsmouth,

then that means
they'll soon be coming through
Gallwood Forest.

It's the only road to the East.
The whole area is wooded thick.

So?

So I've been perfecting
my incendiary oils.

Perhaps we could fight fire
with fire, so to speak.

Burn the entire forest?

I doubt even the gods would walk
through a forest fire, Talon.

They'll either have
to wait it out

or follow the river bend
north again.

- Add another day
to their journey.
- Exactly.

Meanwhile, we can evacuate
our people

through Pickerick's Pass
to the west.

They'll all be safe
from the fire and the gods.

- I like it.
- Of course you do.

It involves burning things.
You're like a child.

Thank you.
Zed, we'll ride out
immediately.

All right.

I will tell Munt to load
the barrels of oil.

I'm coming.

No. No, we need you
here with Aster.

He's right. If we fail,
you might need to improvise.

And see if you can't get him
to hurry up a bit, yeah?

Can I help you with something?

The Six are closer
than we thought.

And our people may not
make it out in time.

I know.

Is there anything I can do
to help speed the process?

I've done all
that can be done.

Are you beginning to doubt
your trust in me?

I'm worried.

My friends are worried.

There's people still
in the path of the Six.

All you do is sit here.

My seeming inactivity
must seem like indifference.

But not all battles
are fought by the sword.

Well, can you at least
tell me what you're doing?

What you're searching for?

I'm searching
for another world.

A world? What for?

To send them to.

I'm searching
for a realm so deadly

that none of the Six
could survive it.

That is the only sure end
to the immortality,

or we risk their return.

And you're positive
such a world exists?

It is my hope.

Hope?

I have found there
is nothing more powerful

than well-placed hope, Talon.

You must remember that
when you face the Six.

When we face the Six.

Yes.

All right, up you go.
Here we go. Up!

There you are.
Everything's going to be
all right.

All right?

We have to work faster, Munt.

Everyone has to be ready
the moment we hear the signal.

Ooh, oh! Right.

Thanks for your help, Luna.

I'll see you
on the other side of this.

What?
You think I'm leaving?

Well, it's all up to Aster now.

You wouldn't even
have him around if it
weren't for me, would you?

There's nothing any of us
can do at this point.

And yet you, Garret, and Zed
are all sticking around anyway.

Janzo and Wren, too,
by the looks of things.

We're just seeing it through
to the end.

Then that's what
I'm doing, too.

All right.
It's your choice.

There's no money in it,
you know?

That's what makes it heroic.

Didn't realize I was dealing
with a hero.

Well, now you know.

- Let's go!
- ( horse whinnies )

Damn.

Don't let us down, Janzo.

You fools don't know
when to give up.

You sure you wanna do this?
We each bested you separately.

And yet here I stand.

And here.

And here.

And here.

I'm as strong as ever
because ours is the way
of endless renewal,

of immortality,
whereas your kind
were born to die.

You can do better than that.

I already have.

Sergeant!

Ring the bell!
Move out!

All right, lads.
Off you go, Munt.

Janzo, I'm staying.

- What?
- What? Why?

To face them villains
what killed the King.

There's nothing you can do
about that, Munt.

It has to be one of their own
that faces them.

Well, why are you staying?

I told you,
I have my reasons.
Now go on, go.

I have my reasons, too,

to help keep you safe
and to save everyone.

Munt, please come with me.

- I'm sorry, Warlita.
- Then I'm staying, too.

Warlita, you took
such good care of me.

Now these orphans
and these old people,

they need you to do that
for them.

But you can help me do that.

I'm not good with that stuff.

I'm just a big lug.
Same with them soldiers, too.

Those people,
they need your sweet touch.

Come on.

I'll be all right.
I promise.

- You better be.
- Yeah.

You all right there,
big guy?

- Did that just happen?
- Mm, it sure did.

That's the best thing
that ever happened to me.

Hmm.
I know the feeling, brother.

Janzo: All right,
they're on their way.

All we can do
for them now is hope.

- Any sign of Garret and Zed?
- Not yet, but...

I saved a barrel of ale for us.
Anyone interested?

Crack it open.

How's your grandpa doing?

He explained his plan to me.

Aster's searching
for another world
to send the Six to.

Another world?

Aster can open portals
like my kinj did,

only not just
to the Plane of Ashes.

He's searching for a world
that will kill them instantly.

When the Six arrive,
we'll pick them off one by one

kicking each one
through the portal.

I'll finally get a chance
to use my sword.

What does that mean
for the Kahvi?

I don't know.

( bell ringing )

All right.

- Janzo, wait. Wait.
- No, but we have to go.

I have an idea.

- You're both okay.
- Oh, I'm fine.

We saw the caravan
in the valley.

We might just have a chance.

Zed, Garret,
glad you're back.

Janzo and I need
a meeting with everyone
in the Skevikor room.

- Pick up Aster on the way.
- The Skevikor room?

We'd like to suggest
a modification to the plan
for killing the Six.

- Come on.
- What?

Right.
Thank you all for being here.

Aster, we know
your time is precious,
but this important. Janzo?

- Janzo?
- Right.

From what we understand,

once the Six arrive
at the Outpost,

the plan is for you all
to force them through
Aster's portal

one by one into
instant death, yes?

- Yes, hopefully.
- Right.

Well, we'd like to propose
a slight variation to that plan.

- Wren?
- Yes, as you can see,

there are thousands of Kahvi,

exposed, unawakened
in the chamber below.

This is about the Kahvi again?

Aster confirmed
that if not revived,

all the Kahvi will die.

Both:
A few have died already.

So we'd like to suggest
that you allow Janya

- to wake the Kahvi--
- Are you mad?

As I've already told Wren,

the others will wake them
into slavery

controlled by
Vorta's gold kinjes.

Soldiers whose first orders

would be
the destruction of us all.

- Aster: Yes.
- Hear us out.

Aster, you said that when
the Seven come to the Skevikor,

Janya would have
to revive the Kahvi

before Vorta passes
on the gold kinjes.

- Isn't that right?
- Yes.

- Yes.
- So, if we allow the Six

to come down to the chamber,
Janya revives that Kahvi--

And then just when they finish,
that's when we strike,

forcing them all
through Aster's portal.

Starting with Vorta
before she has the chance
to enslave them.

Allow all seven
of them down here

and interrupt them
halfway through?

- Have you lost your minds?
- Aster, is this possible?

The Kahvi aren't worth risking
this entire world for.

Because you don't
see them as people.

They are tools of destruction,
of cruelty, nothing more.

Yes, but they could be more
if you just bloody let them.

Even if I agreed,
the simple truth is

I cannot be allowed
near the Skevikor when
the other six have arrived.

What? Why not?

Because they
will hold sway over me.

And what does that mean?

I can't resist
the collective will

of my brothers and sisters

when all seven of us
are together.

But you've betrayed them
once before.

Yes, each of the Seven
are physically unable

to act against
the collective will
of the group,

so I needed help
of the humans to do it.

I had humans use
the ahl-kora blades

to put the others to rest.

So you see, if I join
the other six on that altar,

then I will be unable
to defy them

and you all will be lost.

The Skevikor lies
beneath that fortification.

They delayed us,

but they cannot keep us
from our army for long.

Once we find Aster,

does his love for this
world's inhabitants remain?

- Can be trusted?
- It does not matter.

We are prepared for
his betrayal this time.

The Six have been spotted.
We're out of time.

- I found it. Yes.
- The world to send them to?

A world so barren and cold,
they will freeze
and die instantly.

Aster, why didn't you tell me
you couldn't act against the Six

when you're in their presence?

I didn't want to overwhelm you
with what's coming.

But I'm not sure
I understand your plan.

If you can't act against them,

then how are you able
to open a portal

to a world
that would kill them?

- I can't.
- What do you mean you can't?

I won't be able to open
the portal when the time comes.

You can't open the portal?
Was all this just a big lie?

The portal can still be opened
but not by me.

It has to be you, Talon.

You have to wield my power
against the others.

The Six must be sent
to their deaths by you.
