Original subtitles

Long ago, humans and dragons

lived in perfect harmony.

But the humans became greedy

and began to take over the world,

consuming everything in their path.

The dragons pleaded with the humans

to stop this selfish quest.

But instead of listening, the humans declared war.

An evil alchemist, Petrosius,

created a dragon-killing monster

and named it Nettlebrand.

But Petrosius could not control the monster

and was killed by his own creation.

Nettlebrand began hunting the dragons all over the world.

The dragons scattered helplessly,

unable to counter Nettlebrand's immunity to their fire.

After losing their tracks,

Nettlebrand retreated to his creator's castle,

obsessed with his desire to devour.

Centuries passed.

The humans took over the world,

forgetting all about special creatures.

The remaining dragons had no choice but to hide,

keeping their existence a secret

from the rest of the world.

But nothing remains hidden forever.

Do not drag your tail in the dirt.

Keep your tails up because, as you know...

We're gonna get in trouble.

Keep a tight, close grip on your scales.

We can't leave any evidence of our presence.

Get up here, you big lump.

Rule number 21.

And remember, fire is the last resort

and should be used for protection only.

Order. Order!

Let's have some order here.

Listen up. This is a serious matter.

Fire is a weapon, not a toy.

- No fire, no flying. - I got it!

- We keep a low... - Whoa!

- Firedrake! - Sorry. My-My-My bad.

-That weird kid. - Hi.

- What are you doing up there? - I just...

Spare me the details.

Don't you have anything better to do than creeping around?

Like what?

Uh, well, we've got loads to do here. Like...

Guessing what shape the next cloud will be.

- Taking a good mud bath. - Flicking flies with your tail.

Look, no one's saying you can't have fun.

Just keep it quiet, you two.

I wanna be a proper dragon,

like the dragons in Slatebeard's stories.

Oh, give me strength.

Stay out of trouble. Stay out of sight.

That's an order!

Where's the fun in hiding all the time?

Bottleneck doesn't allow us to do anything.

But we're safe here. Isn't that more important?

Who can hurt us? Sprites?

Gnomes?

My mum will, if I'm not home for dinner.

See you tomorrow.

Slatebeard!

Feast your eyes on this, ladies.

Hollyhocks.

He thinks he's a real dragon.

- What's his name? - Spinecrackle.

Spinecrackle? That's a name I won't forget in a hurry.

He's not a real dragon.

The Rim of Heaven,

ah, that's where the real dragons live.

Hey, Slatebeard.

You telling your crazy tales again, old man?

- Old man?

I'll give you old man.

He's got a nerve. What's his name?

You were saying, the Rim of Heaven?

How do you know the Rim of Heaven?

Uh, you just said it.

Have you been there?

- Ooh!

That dragon is so annoying.

What's his name?

Tell me more about the Rim of Heaven.

Ah, yes. A paradise for dragons.

Where the moonflowers shine.

Where is it?

It's, uh...

It's...?

In a faraway mountain range.

No, Slatebeard, don't nap now.

On the other side of the world.

A paradise for dragons.

Where is this place?

He said it was in a faraway mountain range

on the other side of the world.

He called it a paradise for dragons.

A paradise for dragons? That's good for you then.

No, brownies are welcome too.

How do you know? Maybe they barbecue brownies there.

Nice.

All I'm saying is, it sounds like my kind of place.

My dad says the world outside of this valley is a scary place.

We're stuck here.

Humans!

We have to tell the others.

- Calm down!

The humans are coming.

What will they do when they find us?

What they always do when they want something.

Attack first, ask questions later.

It wasn't always like this.

Back in the days of the great dragon kings,

humans and dragons even flew together, until...

Until the humans wanted to have it all their own way!

We lay low and wait for the humans to pass us by.

I say we take the fight to the enemy.

It's about time we show them who's boss.

We are noble creatures. Fighting is not our way.

What's so noble about hiding?

Enough!

If the humans advance further in this direction,

they'll be on us by the next full moon.

- Sulfurbreath. - Yes, boss.

Prepare the hideout.

- What about the Rim of Heaven?

We could go there.

Yeah, right. How are you planning to get there?

- I've got wings, haven't I? - Seriously?

We find the Rim of Heaven,

come back and lead everyone to safety.

That's insane. You've never been outside the valley.

Sorrel!

I'm coming, Mum.

It'll be all right. Come on. Follow us.

There we go. This should keep us going for the foreseeable.

Those awful humans think the world belongs to them.

It's like I've always told you, they're the worst.

We should run away. Leave the valley.

Find a new home.

My dear Sorrel, if I knew of somewhere we could go,

we'd be out of here in a jiffy.

I'll come back. I promise.

All right.

Sorrel! What are you doing here?

What do you think?

Come on, before I change my mind.

OK.

Here we go.

I hope you know what you're doing.

You've never flown before!

Ha-ha!

So, genius, where do we start?

Whoa!

Whoa!

- Sorrel, are you all right? - Still alive.

Wow, look at that.

What is that? It looks amazing.

Should we go down there?

Are you crazy? That's where the humans live.

- Even though... - What?

A pixie I know once told me

about this all-knowing oracle that lives there.

Maybe it can help us find the Rim of Heaven.

Great. What's it called?

They call it the Internet.

The Internet? OK, let's go ask the Internet.

Oh, I guess we don't really have a better choice.

No, no, it is way too dangerous to go flying down there.

No, come on, Sorrel. We've gotta try.

Hey!

Hey!

You won't get away this time.

- Watch it!

I can't believe it!

Can I get a souvenir?

Stop! Thief!

- Hey, watch it.

- Here, check it out. - There! That's him!

- Stop, police!

- Ah!

Yeah.

That's my costume! What do you think you're doing?

Here we go...

Sorry.

OK. I'm the little brown thing. You're the giant wingy thing.

I go find the Internet. You hide in there.

OK.

Hello?

Oh!

Hmm!

Back in the days of the great dragon kings,

humans and dragons even flew together.

Ah!

Hmm...

Yeah, very good. Very good.

That, my friend, is a pretty awesome costume.

You're with the movie, right?

Oh, come on, little guy, where are you?

Huh!

That kinda feels dragony.

OK now, stay cool. It's just a dragon.

- Hi.

- A talking dragon!

Oh, you're him.

Huh? Yeah, I'm, uh, him.

I'm a Dragon Rider?

A Dragon Rider.

What's a Dragon Rider?

Uh, it's like a horse whisperer, but with dragons.

It's a psychic thing.

That's amazing. Can you help us find the Rim of Heaven?

Uh... Maybe I should check my diary.

This is a very busy time in the Dragon Rider calendar.

I looked all over and I couldn't find...

A human! Stay back!

What did I tell you about mingling with the enemy?

No, no, you don't understand. He's a Dragon Rider.

He could help us find the Rim of Heaven.

Please. Don't fall for his tricks.

The human is a liar and a cheat.

How do you know that?

All humans are liars and cheats. They're the worst.

But this one's different.

- He has special talents. - Talents? What talents?

I can read your mind?

Then you'll know what I'm thinking.

- He's not coming with us.

Uh, so... how about we find that thing of Heaven?

You betcha. Climb aboard, Dragon Rider.

No, no. I am not flying with a human.

Uh, we need to move fast.

- Sorrel, come on!

OK.

Steady, everyone. Sounds like this is the one.

I'll go left.

Gotta fly!

Whoa!

That should be us there.

I know a free ride when I see a free ride,

and he is a free ride.

You don't like humans, do you?

You've probably never even met one.

No, and I wouldn't want to.

Well, where's the sense in that?

So, where to next, Dragon Rider?

All we know is the Rim of Heaven is in a faraway mountain range

on the other side of the world.

A faraway mountain range.

On the other side of the world? Hey, hey, dragon.

- Put me down! - But we've just taken off.

That's quite far enough.

Besides, you've got a great setup here.

Go with the chipmunk.

I'm not a chipmunk. I'm a forest brownie.

Yes, awesome.

Come on, Scales, let's fly down, nice and easy.

- You said you could help us. - Huh? No, not me. Wrong guy.

Goodbye.

Or should I say "until we meet again"?

It's goodbye.

Let us know if you change your mind.

Good riddance.

This place is spine-tingling.

Look at my spines, they are literally tingling.

Dragons? Brownies? What the heck is going on?

- I got an itchy head.

- What's that tingling feeling? - Something's not right.

Someone's coming.

Whoa! Hey.

Get your fat butt out of sight!

You want some of this?

I am so ready to strike.

- Huh? - Halt right there!

- Who are you? - We are three dwarves.

- This is Stonebeard. - Hi.

- This is Gravelbeard. - Hi.

And I'm Granitface. Overjoyed to meet you.

It must be somewhere around here.

My scalp didn't prickle like this

since the last time I saw a...

Is that what I think it is?

A dragon.

Oh, a silver dragon.

We haven't seen one of these around these parts since,

well... never.

You're a joy to behold.

Aye, he certainly is.

Oh, jings! Crivens!

I left my flask of cheeky water at the mine.

Carry on without me.

And off he goes.

Disgraceful manners.

Where travel you to, dragon?

- We seek the Rim of Heaven. - Firedrake!

The Rim of Heaven, you say?

Where east meets west, story says.

Did you know, according to legend,

the day the Rim of Heaven is discovered,

silver will be worth more than gold?

- Ain't that a pretty fact? - Silver. Gold.

I'd never have to steal again.

We're not interested in silver or gold.

We just need to find a way to get there.

As you say.

Anyway, this coal needs a good warm fire.

Good luck with your quest.

Well, you don't see that every day.

That's it. We follow the rising sun...

Until east meets west.

- Dragon Rider! - Oh, no.

You're coming with us?

All the way to the Ding of Heaven.

Oooh.

You're a fake. You're a phoney. You're not a Dragon Rider.

Guys, guys, guys.

If I'm not a Dragon Rider, what do you call this?

- My Dragon Rider card.

- Yeah.

- Oops. - Was that...?

My pants, yes.

I rest my case.

You wouldn't know a dragon if it burnt a hole in your sock.

I most certainly would. This is definitely a male dragon.

You are a male dragon, right?

You're not coming with us!

I'm warning you. Don't make me use my Dragon Rider powers.

What powers? You don't have any powers.

Really? You wanna bet?

Oh, you're going to love this.

Twigleg.

Yes, Master.

Do something, you puny homunculus.

I'm bored out of my mind.

Um, have you heard of something called FetchAMatch.com?

- What? - FetchAMatch.com.

Your chance to find love.

Or a meal. Or both.

Are you wasting my time, you worthless slave?

No, no, Master. We just need your profile.

About me?

Tell them who you are.

Oh, that's easy.

500-year-old draconoid.

Violent! Vicious.

Ate his creator.

Perhaps a little finessing?

What about "mature, sensitive type with healthy appetite"?

Fine. Let's go with that.

Would like to meet like-minded for fun and frolics and...

Fun?

- I said fun!

Pay attention, stick man, or I'll do for you as I did

for your 11 brothers and sisters.

Dislikes? Not eating dragons.

Likes? Eating dragons.

Oh, and golf.

And feeling the soft summer breeze on my face.

And eating dragons!

Add picture.

Shall we enhance, Master?

How do I look?

Like a weird, savage freak.

- Which is not what you are.

OK, let's hope those victims...

...matches come flooding in.

Yo! Nettlebrand!

Have I got news for you!

News?

Up on the hill, I just saw... Have a guess.

Do I have to?

Um, a shooting star?

Oh, we can do better than that.

Um... A sheep?

A rainbow?

- Tell me! - I'll give you a clue.

- What is that? - An opera singer?

What? Do me a favour.

It's only a ripe, juicy dragon.

A dragon?

Not just any dragon. A silver dragon.

The ball's in the back of the net.

A silver dragon. I have never heard of a silver dragon.

I yearn for a silver dragon.

I hunger for a silver dragon.

Show me this silver dragon!

Now you're talking my language.

Um...

Sorry about that.

I've got Youngest Brownie Syndrome.

No hard feelings?

No hard feelings.

Whoa!

Hmph!

- Over there!

- I can see the silver dragon.

Uhh... guys?

Ow!

Ow!

Where's the Dragon Rider?

He took off.

What?

Yep. I guess he chickened out.

Now it's back to you and me.

Dragon Rider!

Hi!

I never expected this.

She pushed me off the mountain!

- I can smell the silver dragon!

Let's get out of here.

Whoo-hoo!

- I can taste the...

Huh? Where's he gone?

Oh, my roar, your roar.

Look at us both. We're both roaring.

- Shut up, shut up, shut up!

I must know where they're going.

- Raven!

- Go after them.

But, Master, I've lived in your cellar for 500 years.

I know nothing of the world beyond.

How will I communicate with you?

- Skype me.

- That just leaves you and me.

Two merciless giants of nature.

What do you say?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I'm thinking I'm in urgent need of a new slave.

Let's not say "slave". Let's say "partner".

Sorrel?

Firedrake?

Where are you, lad?

Did you find him?

- No. - Right, you two, stop it now.

- No! - Sorry.

- Ohh!

My baby girl, she's missing!

OK, so, how about a fire-breathing demo?

Uh... We're not allowed to play around with that.

Uh, fire is a weapon, not a toy.

Come on, there's no one here.

Uh... Uh...

Here we go.

This isn't good. This isn't good at all.

Don't worry, Sorrel.

We've got the Dragon Rider to guide us through all this.

Uh... right.

Whoa!

Hello?

Ahh! Got it.

Where's Firedrake?

I was going to ask you the same thing.

Hey, hey, wait!

Hmm.

What am I doing here?

- Huh?

- Firedrake!

He's still breathing.

- Whoa.

I'm going to wait outside.

What is that?

I don't know and I don't wanna know.

All sorts of things are attracted to dragons.

Emergency call on line one.

Dragon Rider?

- Yeah.

You can't scare us. We've got a dragon.

- Go on, Scales, torch him!

- Uh, not good. - He can't breathe fire.

What?

Do something! Anything!

Whoo!

- Hey! - Oh!

- Good boy. Good boy. Easy.

It's a good thing I was around.

Who knows what would have happened?

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Professor Barnabas Greenbloom.

You've killed him! Typical human.

Setting upon a poor, defenceless... thing.

No, he's not dead. He's simply stunned.

He'll be out for a week or so, but he'll be all right.

Look at him. He's definitely dead.

Whoa, a silver dragon!

Exceptional.

Oh, he's exceptional all right. He can't breathe fire.

What have you done?

- Firedrake! - This dragon is one of a kind.

- We better go find him. - Great.

Firedrake, where are you?

Here, dragon, dragon!

He didn't mean it.

Ah...

The stupid...

So...

how come no show in the flame department?

I open my mouth, but nothing ever happens.

The other dragons call me Lame Flame.

Ouch.

What's the point of being a dragon

if you can't breathe fire?

Other dragons?

I'm such a fake.

I'm not what I seem to be at all.

- You wouldn't understand. - Oh.

Firedrake!

Yeah, we should get back to the others.

Give me a second chance, Dragon Rider.

I have to find the Rim of Heaven.

What's the big fuss about the Rim of Heaven?

It's the only place that we can be safe.

Humans are destroying our valley.

So, I promised to find it

and return before the next full moon.

No pressure, huh?

Listen, humans do bad things, but good things too.

Not all humans are bad.

You're a good human, right?

Uh... Right.

So you're still gonna help us?

Well, I've come this far, haven't I?

Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Oh! I won't let you down again.

Oh, there you are.

All right, let's head back to my camp and get some rest.

You've been through a lot.

Heck of a long way, mate.

- By the way, thanks. - Hmm?

Back there, in the ruin,

you weren't a chipmunk. You were a tiger.

Hmm.

So, where you heading to?

We're flying to the Rim of Heaven.

At least we were, before I crashed.

Oh, no, no, no.

You crashed because you were affected

by the presence of another rare special creature.

That wasn't your fault.

That nasty chicken thing in the cave?

The basilisk is a rare and beautiful specimen.

Maybe only 20 of its kind in the world.

I'm taking him to my reserve,

where he'll get all the care and attention he needs.

Whew! Ooh!

- Yuck. Gross!

He likes you.

I run the reserve with my wife and daughter.

She's about your age.

We hope to collect, catalogue

and cultivate every rare and special creature on the planet.

I came for a basil... basilisk.

And I found a silver dragon.

A tickle monster, as I thought.

- Hmm!

Oh, now, be very careful with that one.

What's in it?

That's my tea.

Right, you seek the Rim of Heaven.

Now, if I'm not mistaken,

it should lie somewhere in the Himalayas.

But even my friend, the famous dracologist, Subisha Gulab,

doesn't know exactly where it is,

and she knows everything there is to know about dragons.

Hey, wait a minute, I know who you can ask.

The Djinn with the thousand eyes.

Right. He lives in the ravine here.

Oh...

He has the power

to answer any question in the world.

But be warned, he's got some rather antisocial habits.

Now, your route will be perilous.

So whatever you do, avoid the angry giant.

Somewhere around here.

Or maybe here.

And the nasty elves, and the sea serpent.

Is that all?

And the roc bird in the mountains here.

Beware these three things.

That's four things, idiot.

Hmm-mm.

Anything else?

Get some rest. You can stay here tonight.

I'll get you supplies for your journey in the morning.

I think you might need

something a little more comfortable.

Now, it may lack the comfort of home,

but it's better than sleeping rough.

It's OK. Go on.

Ah...

I forgot to say, there are some fresh clothes if you...

Huh.

Hmm.

"Couple killed in car-crash."

Hmm.

Are you a fan of prison movies?

Huh? FetchAMatch.com.

You have a sensitive side?

- Nothing to be ashamed of.

Let me give you a little word of advice.

Oh, no, you don't.

Oooh! Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen. They love that.

Twigleg!

I know where the dragon is going.

A place called the Rim of Heaven.

The Rim of Heaven! This is better than I imagined.

First they must seek out the thousand-eyed Djinn.

No, no. The Djinn will destroy them!

Stay with them.

But the raven has deserted me, Master. How can I follow them?

You'll think of something.

I must follow them to the Djinn.

Ooh! It's getting more evil by the minute.

So, we haven't actually worked out

the terms of our partnership.

You're my slave. Those are the terms.

Perfect.

The super submersible.

What a beauty!

What's a super submersible?

My ticket to anywhere in the world.

It was built by the human who made me

and that wretched Twigleg.

What are you doing?

We're partners. Where you go, I go.

Huh?

Oh, no.

Where is it?

Hey. Got a moment?

- Huh? - Help me load him onto the Jeep.

So, should I call you Dragon Rider,

or do you have another name?

I've got a female on the reservation.

I'm hoping they'll start a family.

You got a family?

You must be a long way from home.

I do fine on my own.

Oh, by the way, does this belong to you?

- Do you like crosswords?

Yeah.

You know, I could do with a little help on the reservation.

Here. If you're ever in my part of the world,

you can look me up.

My wife and daughter would be delighted to meet you.

Accept the past and move on.

What?

Closure.

Six down.

It's Ben.

My name is Ben.

OK, Ben.

- You're always welcome.

Next stop, the Mighty Djinn.

- Good luck.

Let me know if you find the Rim of Heaven.

Thank you, Professor. We will.

Whoop!

Goodbye, Professor. And thanks.

All right, Scales.

You handle the flying, I'll do the navigating.

Mind how you go.

Up, up, up!

That was the worst excuse for navigation I have ever seen.

Come on, it wasn't that bad.

At least we avoided that roc bird.

- Oh, come on, give me a break.

Sorrel. Hold on!

Hold on, Sorrel.

I'm coming.

Firedrake!

Help!

Wow!

No, no, no, no, noooo!

Gotcha!

Sorrel, are you all right?

I'm OK.

That was intense.

You really had me worried there for a second.

You did it.

What?

You breathed fire!

For real?

A blue flame. Didn't you see?

It was awesome! Wow!

Oh, I did it.

- I did it. - Whoo-hoo!

- I did it, I did it, I did it!

Yay, Firedrake!

It's all thanks to you, Dragon Rider.

- Oh, come on. - Oh, man.

Did you see that move? I didn't even realise I was doing it.

I'm so proud!

- It was like out of my mouth! - It was fantastic!

- It was like a fire. Incredible. - Cool. It wasn't me, it just...

Whoo! Awesome.

Hey, look at this.

The Djinn's ravine.

What fresh hell is this?

Huh?

Any sign of that Djinn?

- "Honk me"?

- Oh, my...

Whoa! Whoa!

You have a question for the Mighty Djinn?

Ask me anything you wish, but I warn you,

if it is a question I have heard before...

- Ask your question.

You heard what the Djinn said.

If it's a question he's heard before,

he's gonna zap another tree.

We have to ask the Djinn where the Rim of Heaven is.

I'm pretty sure he'll have heard that before.

It's a chance we have to take.

Leave this with me.

- No! No!

Where is the Rim of Heaven?

Not.

What?

Where is the Rim of Heaven not?

What kind of question is that?

You want to know where it isn't?

Uh... yeah.

Pole to pole, north and south, and everywhere in between?

Yeah, right.

Every blade of grass, every stone,

every grain of sand, every place the Rim of Heaven isn't.

That would take an eternity.

I cannot do it.

Then answer the question as you know it. You owe us that.

Oh, no!

Do you have another question for the Mighty Djinn?

Yeah, how do we get out of here?

- Fools. - Whoops!

A question I have heard many times before.

Sorrel, what have you done?

No one escapes the Djinn alive!

- Dragon Rider! - Whoo!

Ha! Ha!

You just messed with the wrong dragon.

I'll show you fire.

Not again.

Silver dragon.

What the...?

Oh, you're in the big league now, son.

I don't get it. Why isn't it working?

Dragon Rider. It all makes sense.

- What are you talking about? - I can only breathe fire

when the Dragon Rider is sitting on my back.

That's crazy. What makes you think...

- Look out!

- Huh?

He's indestructible.

We have to get him out of there.

Firedrake!

Dragon Rider, come back to us.

- What's wrong with him?

I don't know.

I kind of like him better this way.

You're the Dragon Rider.

Oh, this is all my fault.

This has nothing to do with you.

He's been trouble since the beginning.

I say we leave him here and forget we ever met him.

Are you out of your mind?

We can't desert the Dragon Rider.

You really have to stop being so judgemental.

Pumpkins? I don't have any pumpkins.

OK. OK.

- Huh, huh? - What are we gonna do?

Dragon-ragon... Brrr-brrr!

This must be where the Professor's friend lives.

I can't believe I'm actually saying this,

but maybe she'd be able to help us.

Sorrel, you're a genius.

We'll see about that.

By the way...

Way too much Djinn.

Ah, that Djinn will know better than to mess with us next time.

Listen to me. If you don't stop talking...

Oh, don't be so modest.

It's not like I did all the work alone.

So, where to next, partner? Some more butt kicking?

We wait until that pathetic insect Twigleg reports back.

Och, I hate waiting.

Hey, what about that dating thing?

Got any hits, lover boy?

I once dated a three-headed Cerberus. she had six...

Sorrel!

Firedrake! Sorrel!

- Firedrake!

You know what I think? The humans have taken them.

Ohh.

You still wanna hide, Bottleneck?

Those humans have gone too far.

This means war!

- Huh.

Where are we?

Dragon Rider. You're back!

Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut!

Who are you?

Uh... Hello. My name is Firedrake.

This is Sorrel. And this here is the Dragon Rider.

You are Bravatnar-Gobi-Payanakarmi?

I'm what?

The Dragon Rider!

Bravatnar-Gobi-Payanakarmi has returned.

- Uh...

Can we just stick to "Dragon Rider"?

- Take my carrots. - You must take my potatoes.

My pants! My pants!

Don't insult the Dragon Rider

with these paltry items!

We're looking for the dracologist Subisha Gulab.

Put him in the special

Bravatnar-Gobi-Payanakarmi chair!

- Come this way.

Come, come, this way.

This doesn't make any sense. I made it all up.

Subisha! Subisha!

You will never believe this.

Shut up, Deepak.

How many times do I have to tell you

not to shout so mu...

Can this be true?

The Dragon Rider has returned.

Look! I found him.

It's me. I... I did.

Who are you, boy?

Uh, the Dragon Rider?

Professor Greenbloom told us about you.

We were hoping you could help us?

Of course. Come with me. This way.

Come, come, come, come, come.

Ah, only 3,000 steps.

Hurry up. Pick your feet up.

I do this every day. I don't work out.

Don't need to work out. Not with a physique like this.

Welcome to the Temple of the Dragon Rider.

What is your business here?

- We seek the Rim of Heaven.

No one knows where it is.

It's hidden from the world, protected by powerful magic.

Is there anything more you can tell us?

This temple is the resting place of Varin,

the only human ever to ride a dragon.

Varin led the dragons to the Rim of Heaven

when they were in retreat.

He sealed them there with a special key,

keeping them safe inside.

The monster we saw in the ravine.

Varin ventured to find other dragons,

but the monster tracked him down,

savaged him and stole the key.

As he lay dying, he set down this prophecy.

Poppadom? Samosa? Who's hungry?

Deepak! Now is not the time for treats and refreshments.

I'm trying to be mystical.

But they have flown halfway around the world

and need something to eat.

Look at the Dragon Rider. He's starving. So thin.

Leave it here, Deepak. I will finish telling the story first.

You can't tell me what to do.

I will leave the treats and refreshments here

and let you get all mystical from my own free will.

- Forgive my husband.

He is a good man, but he's also a pain in the...

Where were we? Ah, yes.

The prophecy.

The day the Rim of Heaven is discovered,

silver will be worth more than gold.

Just what the dwarves said on the mountain.

Many have searched for...

By the way, there's also rajma chawal and mag ni dal.

Smells tasty, though. Can you smell it? Spicy.

Too strong. Too strong.

I'm not done yet, you idiot.

You always take so long telling the back story.

Dragons were locked away.

Nobody knows where they are. Job done.

Go away, Deepak!

- Go forth. - OK, I'll eat it myself.

It was an arranged marriage.

Many have searched, but no one has found the Rim of Heaven.

Are there still dragons in the Rim of Heaven?

I have no reason to believe otherwise.

This monster, does he have a name?

They call the monster...

- Nettlebrand!

- Put me down! Put me down! - Who are you?

My name is Twigleg.

- What are you doing here? - Um, I...

You know what we do with spies. We scratch their eyes out.

I mean you no harm. I didn't want to be Nettlebrand's spy.

You've been spying for this monster Nettlebrand?

- I say we get rid of him. - No!

Please, spare me. I hate being a spy.

I'm terrible with secrets.

I find it all so stressful.

What does Nettlebrand want?

He means for you to lead him to the Rim of Heaven.

- You're going to pay for this. - No, no, no, I can help you.

How can you help us, wretched little man?

It's him. My master, Nettlebrand.

Now what?

If I prove my worth, will you let me live?

How can you do that?

I'll throw him off the scent, send him on a wild-goose chase.

- OK, one chance.

But slip up, and it's the end for you.

Master!

Twigleg, what have you been doing?

Oh, Master, I'm going to tell you everything.

We're almost at the Rim of Heaven.

Where is it? Tell me!

It's in... the North Pole.

We're on our way there as I speak.

Why the North Pole?

Because... Because...

it's at the top of the world.

It makes sense when you think about it.

So faraway?

Oh, yes.

It would still take us many days to get there,

perhaps as many as,

um...

Eighteen days.

Eighteen days?

Yes. Which is why you must hurry.

You have no time to lose.

Where are you now?

In... an igloo.

Surprisingly good work, Twigleg.

I'll travel to the North Pole right away.

Thank you, Master.

I'll meet you in 18 days' time.

- Eighteen days. Until then...

- Who is that?

I'm OK. - Varin?

- Hello. - You are in India.

- You lied to me. - Oh!

You'll pay for this, Twigleg. You traitor!

He knows we're here. We must escape at once!

- I'm not afraid. - You should be.

You have no chance against him.

You must find the Rim of Heaven before he finds you.

But we still don't know where to look.

Dragon Rider, what did you see in the Djinn's eyes?

I... I don't remember.

Oh, come on. Think hard.

Maybe I can help.

Come here, my child.

Get your filthy hands off my...

Sorry about that.

They think they can make a fool out of me.

- Oooh. - Raven.

Ah!

I see a mountain shaped like a crescent.

The crown peak.

Quickly, quickly, bring me your map.

Here, this is the mountain.

You must continue your search there.

We'll head there right away.

Whatever you do, this map must not fall into enemy hands.

Brilliant.

The raven will take the map to Nettlebrand.

How are we going to find our way without the map?

And what about the key?

Where are we supposed to get that?

We will find a way.

The dragons who live there are in danger now because of us.

The crown peak is in that direction.

The Dragon Rider will show you the way.

But I don't know...

You are much more than you think you are.

Follow your heart and the truth will come to you. Now hurry.

The fate of the dragons lies in your hands.

Furs for the Dragon Rider.

Take them. The mountains will be cold.

Get the dragon to the Rim of Heaven,

grab the gold and silver, then forget about all this madness.

Are you going to leave me here?

If Nettlebrand catches me, he'll kill me.

He does know Nettlebrand better than anyone.

I say we take him with us.

I was afraid you were going to say that.

You can ride up top, little guy.

I will pray for your safe return.

Good luck.

- They're going to be chapati. - Yep.

Hmm!

Gather the troops.

- Which way? - I... I don't know.

Try hard, Dragon Rider. We believe in you.

Over there!

We've got to go through there.

Really?

That way!

- Look at that. - Where are we?

Better to be in here than out there.

All good in there?

Up there.

It's Nettlebrand! He's here.

What? Are you sure?

Go left!

I could have sworn I saw...

- Sharp right! - Whoo!

What?

Left. Right.

- Left.

- Right.

Come on, faster!

Sharp right!

Oh, boy.

We're close.

Down there.

We made it.

Well, I'll be damned.

I doubted you, but you actually got us here.

Well done, Dragon Rider.

Hmm.

Oh, hey, I'm sorry I pushed you off that mountain.

That's all right.

What's waiting behind that door is way more important.

All right. Come on.

Ready?

Ah...

What is this place?

Where's the dragon paradise?

Is this the Rim of Heaven?

Where to now, Dragon Rider?

I... I don't know.

This place is all I've seen in the vision.

We've come so far. This can't be it.

This is the Rim of Heaven, a bunch of drawings in a cave?

Come on. Come on. There must be more.

Dragon Rider, is there something we're missing?

It's just a stupid old story.

Huh?

Come on. We need to go!

I'm not leaving. Not until we find the Rim of Heaven.

It doesn't exist. Get it? We've got to get out of here.

We can't just give up.

Fine. If you wanna stay here and face that freak, go ahead.

I'm gone.

- You can't just leave. - Watch me.

Dragon Rider?

Sorry, Scales.

I should have just stayed in the city.

Dragon Rider? What was I thinking?

- Master. - Huh?

I'm not your master. I'm my own master.

Yeah. And I do pretty fine on my own.

I know that smell.

That is eau de homunculus.

Look at that.

Almost there.

The prophecy.

It's like my dad said, never ever trust a human.

You were right, Sorrel. You were right all along.

I should have listened to you.

Come out and shine, silver dragon.

I know you're here somewhere.

Oh, no. Quick!

We've got to find another way out.

No more running.

- Huh? - I'm gonna stay

and fight in the name of all dragons, once and for all.

Oh, silver dragon,

you have no idea how long I've been waiting.

I'm here, Nettlebrand.

It's the big one!

You're no match for me.

Or me!

If you want to get to him,

you'll have to go through me first.

- Firedrake, run!

Is that all you've got?

I wonder what you taste like, silver dragon.

- Now that's a close shave.

Sorrel!

What are you doing here, traitor?

I've figured it out.

- Dragon Rider? - The prophecy!

When the Rim of Heaven is discovered,

silver will be worth more than gold.

He's gold. You're silver.

- You can beat this guy. - How?

Good point, uh...

You're a dragon, use your fire.

- I can't.

He thinks he can only breathe fire

when you're sitting on his back.

What? That's nonsense.

I know. I was trying to tell him.

Hey, Scales.

You don't need me to breathe fire.

Huh?

Let him go!

- Oh!

- No! - Huh?

Well, well.

You will make a tasty appetiser, human.

- Huh?

Would you please excuse me for one moment?

- Oh, my.

Brandelina?

You don't need me to breathe fire!

Yes, I do.

Sorrel was right. I'm a fake. I'm a phoney.

I came along because I wanted to be rich.

You can breathe fire all by yourself.

- No! - Listen to me.

My name is Ben.

I'm not a Dragon Rider.

I'm just some kid off the street.

I lied to you.

Huh?

Hmm.

The last thing you're going to see

is me eating your precious rider.

Come on, Firedrake. You're much more than you think you are.

Forget about Lame Flame.

Lame Flame?

Lame Flame!

That's hilarious!

Lame Flame!

Oh, that's a good one. Did you make it up?

Go ahead and eat me. But you'll never beat Firedrake.

He'll burn you to a crisp.

Don't you get it, boy?

Fire can't hurt me.

Bon appétit.

Firedrake! Help.

What the...

What is this? It burns!

No, that's not fair!

There, there, boy, take it easy now.

Now for the main event.

Maybe not.

Uh...

Firedrake, are you all right?

Sorrel, are you all right?

- Hyah!

- That's for deserting us. - Ow!

He's dead!

He's finally dead!

Firedrake, that was incredible.

You did it, Scales. The prophecy was right.

No. There's no Rim of Heaven.

Thank you for coming back.

That's for my 11 brothers and sisters!

You swine!

Ooh! Take that.

Wait a minute.

Nothingbrand now.

That's for my third brother!

Varin's key.

Wow.

Whoa!

The Rim of Heaven.

These must be the moonflowers from Slatebeard's stories.

Dragons!

They're flying free!

You did it, Dragon Rider.

You brought us to the Rim of Heaven.

Yeah, I guess I did.

Except I'm not really a Dragon Rider.

Well, did Varin call himself a Dragon Rider?

Maybe that's for others to say.

So what are you gonna do now?

I don't know.

You could stay with us, or you could go back to your world.

It's your choice, Ben.

What's the point of living with humans if you're living alone?

Not all humans are bad humans.

Six down: "Accept the past and move on."

I think I might drop by Professor Greenbloom's

to see if he needs any help with the resort.

Uh... What about me?

You can come too.

I'm sure the professor would be happy to meet you.

The moon is almost full.

We have to get back to the valley before it's too late.

Come on.

- Ready? - Ready.

OK, you asked for it.

- Don't say I didn't warn ya!

Hey! Get back here.

Cowards.

Dragons, for many moons

we have been hiding from the humans,

watching them take over the world.

For many moons we kept running whenever they came too close,

hoping they'd let us live in peace.

But human greed has no end.

We've sacrificed our dignity,

we've sacrificed our freedom,

and we've even sacrificed our children.

- But we will take this no more.

We are dragons.

And it is time for the humans to feel the wrath of our flames.

This is very bad.

Very, very bad.

Dragons! Tonight we reclaim our honour.

Firedrake?

The humans are going to pay for their crimes!

Yeah!

- Stop! - Huh?

Cease fire!

- Huh? - It's Firedrake!

Firedrake. Sorrel. You're alive.

- Sorrel! - Mum!

Dad!

Oh, baby girl.

There you are, lad.

- I knew you'd come back. - Slatebeard.

Where have you been?

OK, don't get mad.

We went to look for the Rim of Heaven.

- They did what? - It's just a myth.

- Yeah! - Did you find it?

We sure did.

And it is beautiful.

Wait, wait. We're still going into battle, right? Right?

I don't know what to say.

We thought that the humans had killed you.

Not all humans are bad humans.

Huh?

We'll tell you all about it on the way.

I didn't trust him at all.

I thought because he was a human he couldn't be good,

but Ben came through for us in the end.

- He showed up and, wow! - Yeah.

He fought more than the rest of us.

What's your name?

Oh!

Ah!
