Thanks, ruh.

He's going to check on tao.

How did you make them so mad?

Arina: They didn't like me spying On their goat.

You found it?

Right where tao said It would be.

How many people know

Your father turned your family Into animals?

Not many -- I didn't know

Until dartanus Told me.

How could these people know About your quest?

I don't know.

I certainly hope This goat is your brother.

Otherwise we worked up a sweat For nothing.

Let's find out.

It must have been Some kind of garden

Before the jungle Reclaimed it.

Arina: Creepy, very creepy.

Let's check out the goat And get out of here.

[ goat bleating ]

[ bleating ]

They've given him A place of honour.

Why?

I don't know.

Let's just Take him and go.

Ahh.

It's him, Isn't it? It's My brother.

Tao made sense Of that old book.

[ bleating ]

We can't take him -- He belongs to these people.

These people tried to kill us.

[ bleating ]

All right.

I'll stay here And explain it to them.

You two start for arakann -- I'll catch up.

So now I'm a goatherd.

[ bleating ]

Ha, come on.

[ chattering ]

No, no, wait!

What are you Doing? I mean you No harm.

I need to take the goat.

It'll destroy our village.

When the demon yamira sees It's gone--

Yamira: Where's my goat?

It's not our fault.

The animal was Your responsibility.

in an age when nature and magic ruled 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 is also called beastmaster.

She had nothing to do with it.

I took the goat.

Then you will Return it.

Who are you?

I'm the demon...

Yamira.

I'll give you something else Instead.

I want my goat.

Sorry, I can't do that.

[ whooshing ]

You name your price, I'll pay it.

Anything.

I'll give you a price.

Your death and theirs.

These people have done Nothing wrong.

[ squealing ] Shh.

It's all right -- Stay in there.

Ahh -- Beastmaster.

I've heard you won't turn Your back on anyone in trouble.

Not if I can Help it. How noble.

Who helps the beastmaster When he's in trouble?

I have nature And I have the animals.

Don't forget Your mighty sword.

It belonged to my father, Eldar.

I only use it To fight evil.

Well, you won't be needing it Anymore.

No!

Sorceress, Or should I say apprentice?

I thought you weren't allowed Out by yourself.

The ancient one is dead.

I'm no one's apprentice Anymore.

Excuse us.

This won't take long.

I could turn you to stone.

I could turn you Into a warthog,

But then who could tell The difference?

Why protect The beastmaster?

I need him. Oh, I forgot.

You have a weakness For human men.

Not the beastmaster, Just sharak.

Still hung up on him.

Too bad you couldn't stop The ancient one

From turning him Into an eagle.

Sorceress: If you'd kept your mouth shut, Sharak would still be a man.

Is that What this is all about?

You couldn't stand That he wanted me and not you.

The ancient one Had a right to know

What his apprentice Was up to.

Let the beastmaster go, And I won't hurt you.

Leave now And I won't kill you.

We both know your powers Are limited.

Once I leave these shores,

You can't touch me.

The beastmaster stole my goat.

He must pay.

I agree.

If you're going to punish him, Why not get something you want?

Like what? What do you Want?

He can be very useful.

Why should I trust you?

If he fails, I'll give you all my powers.

You're willing to risk Everything for him?

Why?

I told you.

He's the only way I can reach sharak.

Ah, you're so pathetic.

All right.

I'll give him 12 tasks.

One. Six.

Three.

Fine -- What difference does it make?

When he fails, he dies,

And all your power Will be mine.

You will perform three tasks For me.

Then you'll free her?

If you succeed, I'll release The ones in my garden.

And let him Keep the goat.

Yes, but I don't expect you To live that long.

What do you want me to do?

For your First task,

Bring me a pear From the tree of golden fruit.

From the forest of secrets?

A deal's a deal, sorceress.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

Yamira's a spoiled brat.

She's mad at me, So she's taking it out on you.

You'll be lucky To survive the first task.

I have to.

If I can't save My brother,

I can't reunite My family.

[ bleating ]

[ bleating ]

How did I get stuck With you?

This is a job for tao, Not a namib warrior.

Just, ugh...

[ hissing ]

Just move.

[ bleating ]

Please.

[ hissing ]

[ bleating ]

Ugh!

[ hissing ]

[ hissing ]

[ bleating ]

You see?

I just saved your life.

The least you can do is move.

[ bleating ]

Ha, I can tell You're dar's brother.

Stubborn!

[ bleating ]

Yamira makes the villagers Pay a tribute every year.

If they don't, She turns them to stone

And adds them to her garden.

Not for much Longer.

Don't underestimate yamira.

This is her territory.

The longer I stay, The weaker my powers get.

Why don't you Leave?

I'll do what I can To protect you.

I didn't ask You to.

The world would be a dull place Without you.

Is that Why you're helping me?

Why am I helping you?

I don't know.

You'll tell me When you want something.

Is that what you think of me?

Anyway, you don't need My help.

You can walk away right now.

Leave if you want to -- Join your brother.

Yamira will hunt us down.

She can't.

Her power only extends As far as this bay.

If I leave now, she'll turn All the villagers to stone.

Find my goat and return it To me by sundown tomorrow.

If you don't, you will All become part of my garden.

The beastmaster's willing To risk his life for this goat.

It must be valuable.

I want it back alive.

Go!

No mortal Who has ever entered

The forest of secrets Has returned.

Ha, I think I can pick fruit.

It's not that easy.

The forest protects itself From outsiders.

A dark magic Clings to the trees.

The ground crawls With an unseen evil.

I don't have a choice.

I have to try.

The tree of golden fruit Is invisible.

You won't be able to see it.

I'll find it.

[ bleating ]

You are this close To becoming dinner.

Go that way.

You go that way.

[ bird calling ]

[ bleating ]

Ugh!

[ bleating ]

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ugh!

[ bird calling ]

[ squealing ]

You must help me find the tree Of golden fruit.

I only need one pear.

Anything else you find You can have.

Ugh!

[ squealing ]

[ squealing ]

[ squealing ]

Good work.

Now go and find me a pear.

Trust you to find the food, Podo.

[ squealing ]

[ grunting ]

[ yelling ]

[ grunting ]

[ groaning ]

[ grunting ]

Ugh.

[ grunting ]

Yamira, that's cheating!

Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

[ grunting ]

Well done.

I may call on you To return the favour.

I know.

[ sword whooshing ]

[ bleating ]

[ bleating ]

[ bleating ]

[ bleating ]

[ bleating ]

[ chuckling ]

Ohh!

[ bleating ]

Still alive.

I am impressed.

Too bad You didn't bring the pear.

This one?

Beginner's luck.

Your next task Won't be so easy.

Bring me A piece of the sky.

That's impossible.

We never agreed That the tasks had to possible.

How do you expect me To find a piece of the sky?

I don't.

Give up.

No.

Well, you'll wish you had.

You have 'til the sun sinks Into the sea tomorrow.

We'll be safe here For the night,

But the warriors will pick up Our trail by morning.

That means no stopping to graze, Got it?

[ bleating ]

[ arina sighing ]

Uhh.

You ate my food.

Ahh.

If you weren't dar's brother, I'd be eating roast goat.

[ chewing ]

Hey. [ bleating ]

Ah, that's it.

That's it.

[ growling ]

What?

[ growling ]

[ bleating ]

Aren't you supposed To be with tao?

[ growling ]

Ahh.

Dar, I could kill you.

[ bleating ]

Sharak, how can I achieve The impossible?

[ twittering ]

I know.

If you could bring me A piece of the sky, you would.

Not even you can help me.

Sorceress: I told you

Yamira wouldn't make this easy.

She wants you To fail.

I can't -- Too many people depend on me.

Maybe I can help.

You'll lose your magic If you stay here.

If I leave, I risk losing you.

That means losing sharak.

[ twittering ]

You want to know a way to give Yamira a piece of the sky.

She'll know if you use magic.

You don't need magic.

Look.

Sorceress: What do you see?

Falling stars.

Aren't they a part Of the sky?

Yes.

How do you catch A falling star?

It has to land somewhere.

[ screeching ]

Ohh.

This is not happening.

When I catch up to you, I'm going to kill you.

If you are dar's brother,

How come you act Like such a...Goat?

Your falling star Is out there somewhere.

All you have to do Is find it.

It's a rock.

How do I know Which one?

You'll have to hurry.

I can already feel My powers slipping away.

[ whooshing ]

Yamira. Remember Our deal.

No backing out.

Fine, I'm not the one who cheats.

Good.

You wont mind Leaving him alone, then.

Time's running out.

Where's my piece Of the sky?

You'll have it.

Really?

Maybe you'll just end up Another one of those rocks.

[ squealing ]

A star fell near here.

I need you to help me find it.

[ shrilling ]

[ shrilling ]

Thanks, sharak.

[ shrilling ]

Kodo, podo.

Sharak's found the star.

[ panting ]

[ bleating ]

I can't believe I'm actually happy to see you.

[ bleating ]

That way!

[ bleating ]

[ bleating ]

Come on, This way! Come on.

We'd be home by now if you Travelled in a straight line.

She's close.

[ bleating ]

[ bleating ]

Since we're not going To outrun these guys,

We'll just have To let them catch you.

[ bleating ]

[ twittering ]

I knew I could count on you.

Yamira?

A piece of the sky.

You couldn't have done that By yourself.

I did As you asked. You had help.

Yes.

How dare you Try to cheat me!

You didn't say I couldn't Communicate with the animals.

It's who I am.

We'll see how well you do Without your precious eagle.

Get out of my way.

I won't let You harm sharak. Watch me.

[ shrilling ]

You think you're pretty Clever, sorceress.

You've interfered For the last time.

You try to hurt sharak again, And I'll kill you.

I'd like to see you try.

Don't tempt me.

We had a deal.

We had a deal -- I should have known

I couldn't trust you -- Ugh!

What's the matter?

Your powers feeling A little rusty?

Too bad you can't save The beastmaster now.

Easy.

[ bleating ]

[ grunting ]

Ahh!

They won't be bothering us Anymore.

[ bleating ]

[ bleating ]

[ shouting ]

[ bleating ]

Over here!

[ whooping ]

These guys just don't give up.

[ blowing ]

Ahh!

[ chiming ]

Arina.

Don't say it.

In case you thought of leaving Before the game's over.

If you win, I'll let her go.

If not, I'll keep her with the others.

Where's the sorceress?

You'll see her soon enough.

Tie her up!

All right.

Let's finish this.

Ooh, you're so impatient.

You won't be when you find out What's next.

What is it?

The dengen.

He has a special hatred For humans.

And you'll face him alone.

None of your animal friends Can help you now,

And neither can The sorceress.

[ rattling ]

Defeat the dengen

And she might survive.

[ roaring ]

You can't do This. I just did.

It's between you and me -- Leave her out of it.

You should have thought Of that before.

Dar didn't ask for my help.

You were warned, but you still Called on your friends.

So when the dengen kills her,

Blame yourself.

Let her go. You have A bigger worry.

[ whooshing ]

[ churning ]

Hurry!

Hold still.

Warrior: Look at her.

Not so tough, are you?

Ugh!

The bonds are enchanted.

They won't come off 'til you defeat the dengen.

[ bubbling ]

Yamira: You can't win.

I'll take my chances.

Arrogant and stupid -- Just your type.

You can end this.

That's why I'm here.

There's a way to save her.

How?

Admit defeat.

Give up the goat and leave The villagers to their fate.

Listen to her. No.

You're trading her life For a goat?

I won't let anything happen To her.

So heroic.

I can't wait To watch you both die.

Not long now.

Then it'll be her end.

[ bleating ]

[ chuckling ]

[ growling ]

[ growling ] Ahh!

[ screaming ]

This is all your fault.

What are you doing?

Get away from me.

[ chewing ]

[ bleating ]

For a change, You did something right.

[ growling ]

It's your turn To look after him.

[ growling ]

[ bleating ]

[ bubbling ]

[ roaring ]

Sorceress: Dar, behind you!

[ dengen roaring ]

Can't you use your magic?

My powers are too weak.

[ roaring ]

[ roaring ]

[ roaring ]

[ grunting ]

[ gurgling ]

[ straining ]

You won.

The chains should break.

Dar, look!

[ roaring ]

[ grunting ]

What took you So long? Your family.

[ swords clanging ]

[ grunting ]

[ sea roaring ]

[ sizzling ]

[ feeble groaning ]

[ bubbling ]

It's not over.

My chain--

Beastmaster!

Release the sorceress, Free the villagers

And give me the goat.

You can't speak to me Like that.

It's over, yamira, I won.

Did you really think I'd let you go?

Arina.

You're next.

Don't look into her eyes!

Sharak!

[ shrilling ]

What are you doing, Beastmaster?

[ shrilling ]

Yamira: Look at me.

I said look at me!

[ sharak shrilling ]

Thank you, old friend.

[ shrilling ]

You'd trade my Life for a goat?

It's not just any goat.

I know, Your brother.

If I can't protect my family, My quest is over.

They won't be safe until They're all in the crystal ark.

Your battle With balcifer

Has nothing To do with me.

If he wins, he will destroy me And my friends and sharak.

You can't Let that happen.

I won't.

[ sharak shrilling ]

I'd do anything to have sharak,

As a man By my side again.

I know.

How did you know You could defeat the dengen?

I didn't.

You were going to let me die?

But I didn't.

After all I did for you?

I'm glad I can count on you As an ally...

Sometimes.

I'm glad I can count On you too...Sometimes.

[ shrilling ]

[ bleating ]

Woman: Here he is.

[ growling ]

Ruh says he's tired Of looking after the goat.

[ growling ]

He says tao's less trouble.

No kidding.

You freed our village -- How can we repay you?

Let me take The goat.

[ bleating ]

Of course.

Thank you.

He's all yours.

[ bleating ]

[ bleating ]

Thanks for taking care Of my brother for me.

After all, looking after a goat Isn't a job for a warrior.

No, but I'm glad I could help.

Why couldn't you Be an only child?

[ bleating ]

I have to leave you In the crystal ark for now.

I'll get you all out soon.

Our sister and brothers Are safe inside.

[ bleating ]

It won't be long Until I find our mother again.

[ bleating ]

Then we'll fight balcifer Together.

[ whinnying and growling ]
