I was dead.

and now, from the fire,

I am reborn.

[ laughing ]

life...death...

and life, once more.

surprise...

surprise!

[ laughing ]

I've come back to settle the score.

[ laughing ]

in an age when nature and magic rule the world...

there is an extraordinary legend:

the story of a warrior

who communicates with animals,

who fights sorcery and the unnatural.

his name is dar, last of his tribe.

he's also called...

you think that's funny?

I'd like to see you do better.

dar.

what do you think?

-what is it? -it's called "writing".

it looks like charcoal.

you use a charcoal to make the writing.

a track of some animal with strange feet.

well, in a way, you're right.

um, I have clumsy feet.

it's me...tao.

it doesn't

look like you.

well, it represents me.

it says my name.

I can't hear it saying anything.

no, no, no, no.

when you look at it,

it says "tao" -- it's like a sign.

[ explosion ]

that's curupira.

curupira!

what happened?

and it's not the only one. there are more.

yes, with another tiger, and that's very wrong.

where's your friend, ruh?

I think, perhaps, communicating

with you has warped his brain.

ruh would never kill another tiger.

and I would never ask him to do so.

my animals don't kill their own kind.

they only kill to eat.

only humans kill just to kill.

he wasn't killed by a human.

you are worthless -- find out what's happening,

beastmaster, and if you don't,

I'll rip you into pieces.

The rats, wild dogs and vultures

can feast on your body,

and the maggots can have your blood.

got it?

how am I supposed to do this?

use the powers I gave you.

Go to the animals, their homes,

their watering holes, their hunting grounds.

do it!

I thank you

for returning my life...

I've already begun to use the power you have given me

to infect all the animals in the mydlands.

the same species will destroy each other.

lions will kill lions.

tigers kill tigers.

the beginning of the end for nature

and the animal kingdom.

it's beautiful.

I will lay their bodies upon your altar.

then...i will

kill the beastmaster.

and when his soul has left his body,

the demon, curupira, will also die.

then...

I shall rule here, in your name.

these men,

they will protect me?

[ ketzwayo ]: ha-ha-ha!

I don't understand.

curupira says ruh is killing the other tigers?

are you sure that he isn't?

isn't he answering? is something wrong?

sharak doesn't have to communicate

with me if he doesn't want to.

no, no, of course not. but why wouldn't he?

Sharak always communicates with you, even over long distances.

you talk too much.

you're like a honey bee

that doesn't stop buzzing.

I know I talk a lot. I'm sorry.

it's just that I'm concerned.

what for?

concerned for the dead tigers,

concerned for ruh.

don't be.

I don't have to understand everything that concerns me.

I mean, most of the time, I...

I am concerned because I don't understand.

-and I happen to care. -i'm going.

well, I'm coming with you.

it could be dangerous.

well, then I'll help you.

all right.

but stay out of my way.

clumsy feet.

still doting on your unicorns?

It bothers me I can't leave them in the downs where I put them.

sentimentality.

it can make you crazy.

Human beings can make you crazy.

yes, that, too.

why do some people

just want to destroy things?

even beautiful things?

not everybody believes in beauty.

and don't be so judgmental.

just seems like such a waste.

they were delightful.

but they're in the past now.

dwell in the past,

and there will be no future.

somehow, I feel connected to what I create.

you're being seduced by your maternal instincts.

just let them go.

you see, the secret to sorcery is detachment.

create, release.

create and release.

easier said than done.

you become a prisoner of your children,

and they control you.

their illusion becomes substance, and substance

is mortality.

and that's the last thing that you want.

you're probably right.

never "probably".

just let them go.

trust me.

you'll feel much better in the morning.

magnificent.

this is absolutely magnificent.

there's something wrong.

what could possibly be wrong?

when the animals follow the water to the green grasses--

you mean the migration.

they should be going that way.

not the way they're going.

something's wrong.

something's very wrong.

what's going on?

they're acting as if they're crazy,

some sort of mass madness.

dar, what could be happening?

I don't know.

forgive me if it seems I'm trying to intrude,

but I just feel that something

is very wrong -- you're acting strangely.

I've never seen you act like this before.

don't talk to me. I'm not like your animal friends.

I can't read your thoughts.

then don't try.

you're in a bad mood. I understand.

I get in a very bad mood

when I can't use my brain to figure something out.

that's your problem: you're always figuring things out.

When people have problems, they talk, they come to conclusions.

sometimes it doesn't work.

I certainly don't understand that.

that's good.

finally something you don't understand.

there you are, see? point of agreement.

but we're talking, we're making progress.

we're not making anything.

Obviously, someone or something is bothering you greatly.

Tigers killing tigers, the whole animal kingdom upside down.

everything's acting strangely, you're acting strangely,

and somehow, I think--

I think it's all connected!

-well, you think too much! -you don't think enough!

you have this bottled up; won't let it out -- I'm helping

and you won't let me -- that's because

you don't understand what friends are for.

and maybe that's why sharak and the ferrets and ruh

won't talk to you, either.

You know nothing about my world and you never will.

well, fine!

it doesn't seem like a very nice place.

you, again.

the beastmaster's eagle.

why do you keep coming into my world?

do you prefer me to him?

did I create you?

do I know you?

you're playing with me.

taunting me.

the ancient one was right.

illusion should never become substance.

[ sobbing ]

arghhh!

arghhh!

why won't you talk to me?

what have you learned?

curupira, please help me.

tell me what you learned.

the animals won't talk to me any more.

why?

I don't know.

did you do something horrible?

no.

it's just like they've switched off.

they've gone crazy in their heads.

and I'm not one of them any more.

you're part of them.

if they're crazy, then maybe you are, too.

yes...

everything's different now.

then fix it, beastmaster.

if you can't do it, I'll find somebody else.

I won't lose my animals to some worthless human.

humans are selfish, helpless and useless.

I don't know why they were put on this earth

in the first place.

ruh?

ruh!

it's working.

it's working.

I need a fire.

on this spot.

at once.

perhaps you'd like me to ask a favour

of your lord.

we have a deal, he and i.

you will do as I say

until my work is finished.

fire!

that's better.

Pretty soon, you'll understand.

ketzwayo will be in charge.

prince ketzwayo, to you.

yes!

beastmaster's tiger.

what better way to die...

than at the claws of a friend.

ruh.

my friend...

I have to know what's wrong.

you've never been angry with me before.

have I done something to hurt you?

ruh.

dar, what happened?

ruh...

ruh?

rhu did this?

I don't believe it.

he talked...

tell me --

what about?

he said the only reason he didn't kill me

was because of the past.

when we were friends.

the future? what about the future?

we have no future.

-I owe you an apology. -save it.

-we'll talk when this is over. -no...

now.

in case I'm not around later.

what are you talking about?

something is driving the animals mad...

and me as well.

I've been thinking about that.

before you start, thinking is what I do.

I think there's some sorcery or magic behind all of this.

I don't know. I think, perhaps, it's spreading an infection.

And you were infected after you tried to communicate with ruh.

why would ruh hurt me?

'cause he was infected too, like when you tried to

attack me.

friends don't hurt friends.

not intentionally.

you're wrong -- humans hurt everything --

all the time.

beastmaster, I have a question for you.

which hurts more, the claws of the tiger, or that you were

betrayed by a friend?

that I almost betrayed a friend hurts more.

what else have you discovered?

that a sickness

has overcome the animals.

it's overcome ruh as well.

it's, uh, writing. actually, it's my name.

you understand these marks?

of course I do. I wrote them.

come with me.

I don't like to wait.

curupira...

he's my friend.

don't you hurt him.

your friends hurt you.

now.

dar...

Dar, please. Stay, rest. Please.

go back.

[ ketzwayo ]: the tiger didn't kill him,

but I'll fix that.

before I can kill that little green rat curupira.

Perhaps you'd like to kill her?

no, no, I'm reserving that for myself.

she killed me once.

so fair is fair.

here.

what is it?

well...well, well, well.

well?

it's-it's a poem.

actually, it's, uh, pretty immature.

just doggerel, really.

a dog wrote it?

no, no, that's just an expression.

"roses are red, violets are blue, the end is near"

"for the likes of you."

I'm really not sure what that means.

and this one?

this one's a little more personal.

i, I think it's been written for you.

mmm, tell me.

ah, ha, you know, when you receive

a message which isn't always good news,

how you should make sure you don't blame the messenger or in

-this case, the reader-- -read it.

"it's over for you,"

"and for the beastmaster, too,"

"revenge is sweet, dearie little funny feet."

[ laughing ]

you know who wrote this?

well, whoever it is, has a nasty sense of humour.

I hate humour and I hate him.

follow me at a distance.

And keep your face out of sight.

then tell your worthless friend, the beastmaster.

well, well,

well -- welcome.

you look surprised.

is it because you now realize that your beastmaster isn't

the only one who can get inside the heads of animals?

of course,

he and I have different agendas.

hey, stop.

now you continue to be a good boy and you might even live.

follow me.

snack time.

I would take them to the beastmaster myself,

but I don't think he would trust me.

you, on the other hand...

enjoy, beastmaster.

[ laughing ]

oh, don't tell me.

you're not angry again?

you lied to me.

and just watch your tongue, otherwise, you'll lose it.

ketzwayo is back.

oh, really? returned from the dead?

yes. Something that should never have been allowed.

thank you for your opinion, curupira,

but you don't make the rules.

I hate the rules.

Oh, don't we know, but you see,

without rules, it would be chaos.

a time, but eventually, it's a disaster.

still, I wonder how the little demon did it.

I'm sure you know.

is he being a bad boy?

he's killing all my animals.

And you sit here playing games.

I like this game.

no luck, no cards, nothing to throw --

just pure intellect.

and when I play by myself,

I never lose.

I have to find ketzwayo, and stop him.

obviously, before he kills your beastmaster.

Because if the beastmaster dies, you no longer possess his soul.

and that would be...

checkmate for you, curupira, ha, ha, ha...

how did ketzwayo get to live again?

there's only one way -- the burning forest.

he gave himself to the one with red eyes.

yes, a very

dangerous game.

take care,

curupira...and tell the one

with you to do the same.

ha, ha...

caught me.

oof!

hey

it's good to see you too.

dar!

I've seen and heard the most amazing things.

we know who's trying to destroy the animal kingdom.

it's the demon ketzwayo.

no, no, no, curupira killed ketzwayo.

no, he's alive -- he's made a pact in a place

called...the burning forest?

with the apparition with the red eyes?

they say he comes from the world below.

a place of fire.

he is true evil.

where's kodo and podo? they were just here.

they came back?

did you communicate with them?

yeah. And they even brought me a gift.

uh, right now,

ketzwayo is infecting the entire animal kingdom.

And he's making them do things that they wouldn't normally do.

so, right now, I wouldn't

accept a gift...

even from a friend.

[ exploding ]

where are you going?

to the burning forest.

don't think that's a good idea.

-we have no choice. -we?

we have to hurry.

all right.

[ cawing ]

what are you doing?

well, well, well...

the sorceress and sharak,

together again.

you...

condemned to the skies,

to sleep no more and travel forever,

perchance to dream and think of your lover.

the warmth of her heart,

the touch of her skin.

which you

will never feel again.

beautiful as you are, but without love.

emotions stripped bare, gone forever.

And yet, you still feel for him.

is it just curiosity?

why do you insist

on being with each other,

when I've made it impossible for you both?

maybe I'm losing my touch.

perhaps, what I've done is wrong.

but what I do is neither right nor wrong.

it just is.

Conscience is a terrible thing.

it makes cowards of us all.

I should punish you both more than I have.

I'll think about that.

[ cawing ]

but for now, just a small chastisement.

I will take your unicorns from the sky.

[ ketzwayo ]: welcome to my new playground, dearie.

would you like to dance?

how about a little kiss?

huh, funny feet?

where are you, ketzwayo?

everywhere.

ha, ha, ha... with the lions, the tigers.

with the leopards -- killing them all.

I want to see you.

when I am ready.

and when the beastmaster is dead.

you won't have

a human soul to possess any more.

but you don't really need one here.

[ laughing ]

how does it feel?

a little

warm for you, dearie?

I'd like to show you what's happening to your animals,

and what's going to happen to you.

[ laughing ]

beautiful, isn't it?

see you real soon, funny feet.

so, what do you know of this burning forest?

it's a place of dead souls.

they suffer there when the circle of life ends.

that presumes a hereafter, another existence.

do you really think we should be going in there?

I have to stop what's happening.

granted, but maybe there's another way.

I don't think so.

and this one with red eyes, you know him?

he's the most powerful prince in the burning forest.

is he real?

great, terrific -- dead souls suffering,

demon ketzwayo, prince red eyes, a burning forest,

all of this in a world after death.

I want you to know, I'm not very comfortable with this, dar.

it's very warm in here.

I feel this is the kind of place

you wouldn't want to spend a lot of time.

you're about to spend an eternity.

you're a hard man to kill, beastmaster.

but the game is up.

let the beastmaster

have the honour of dying first.

ohh!

ahh!

[ laughing ]

ah! Ha, ha!

oh!

ha, ha, ha...

[ yelling ]

[ yelling ]

-tao, don't. -he's getting away!

no, he's not.

hello, ketzwayo.

you.

funny feet?

yeah, well, it's only an expression.

oh, like doggerel?

what? "roses are red."

-ha, a joke, curupira. -"violets are blue."

nothing serious.

this time...it's forever.

[ cawing ]

I don't ever want to go back to that...

burning forest -- whatever it's called,

place, ever again.

tao...

that place is reserved for very, very bad people.

and I somehow think that you

won't wind up there.
