Original subtitles

It was an age of magic.

An age of sorcery.

An age of chaos.

Be on your way to servant.

Wizards fought against wizard.

And warrior against warrior.

For the great sword of power.

And the ring of magic.

A simple peasant, the brave Tyler,

organized the people.

And destroyed the evil wizards.

The sword was lost but the ring was saved,

and for a time, King Tyler ruled in peace.

Yours friends fight well.

I suppose so.

When are you going to start carrying a sword?

Aura, I'm a magician's son.

I don't need to carry a weapon.

You'll have to carry a sword after we're married.

Aura, I'm too young to get married.

Maybe, you do wanna marry me, don't you?

I guess.

You guess, you're not sure?

Look, if I do a trick for you,

will you stop asking me questions?

If I like it.

Gulfax.

Why is it your pet always interrupts?

Shh, something's the matter.

It's my father.

Oh be quiet.

Father, what's wrong?

There's a great evil present.

I can sense it.

Yes, Gulfax, I know you do too.

Knowledge will help us?

We shall see.

The castle is under attack.

You're doomed to failure, my queen.

You underestimate me, my king.

As usual.

I don't understand.

All the luxuries in the world were yours

for the asking.

Yes, and I was yours for the asking.

And now you repay me with treachery.

You are so naive.

Never turn your back on your friends, sir.

Well done, Shurka.

All in the wrist.

You must leave now, Simon.

No, Father.

Gulfax and I will stay here and fight with you.

You must go.

Some day you will return and avenge your king.

Keep this ring, my son.

It is the source of all my power.

Used for good, it is a blessing.

Used for evil,

it means the end of all we value.

Now go.

Oh no.

I lost the ring.

Wulfrick.

I should have known this was your work.

Enough flattery.

Where is the ring?

You try my patience, Wulfrick.

Very well.

As you with, Wulfrick.

Find the boy, eliminate him,

and keep these children hostage

to assure we have prosperous reign.

By nightfall, my men will have captured Simon.

You fool.

That boy is the offspring of white wizardry.

Without the ring, he is powerless.

What about his young friends?

I have seen to that.

They have all been imprisoned.

The little princess.

What a pity about your father.

Udea and I are very upset.

Such a delicate thing,

and so very pretty, yeah?

Oh, Simon.

We gotta find a way back to the castle.

Shurka's men!

There's the boy.

After him!

Run Gulfax.

Run!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Hold it.

I said, hold it.

You seem awfully brave when you're just facing

a mere boy and his furry what-you-may-call-it.

Hold it.

Are you sure you wanna do this?

You're sure you wanna take me on?

Okay.

Well, come and get it.

Ooh, that's grand.

Hey, boy, how long have you been living in a tree?

Not very long.

Would you like to get down from there?

Yeah, please.

I'm sorry about that, kid.

Is there any way we can repay you, sir?

Yeah.

Have you got any wine?

No.

Well, I guess not, then.

See you.

Kor the Conqueror, are you sure?

Hey, sir.

Hey, are you really Kor the Conqueror?

Yeah, why?

Well, I'm Simon, son of the good wizard Wulfrick,

magician of the kingdom of Axin.

Magician, huh?

What were you doing up in the tree?

Gulfax and I, we were trying to figure

a way to get out of this forest

when we fell into one of Shurka's traps.

And who is Shurka?

He's an evil sorcerer.

He murdered King Tyler and my father.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

I have to get going.

Hey, but wait, you can't just�

Where are you going?

Nowhere, really.

Why not stay in Axim? It's a fine kingdom.

Because I'm a warrior, boy,

and warriors who stay in one place

for more than an hour usually end up dead ones.

Well, who's your master?

You're looking at him.

- Who do you fight for? - Myself.

You fight for the forces of good.

Always.

Sometimes.

Sir, I wish to employ you.

I'm not for hire.

Gulfax.

What did he say?

Nothing.

Same to you, buddy.

And I thought you were a brave warrior.

You changed your mind.

Yeah, well I've always been rather fond of the underdog.

So tell me about this Shurka.

So, they have themselves a champion.

He doesn't look like much.

Never trust appearances, my dear.

You, for example, were always considered

a devoted wife, correct?

And you were always considered a loyal counselor

to your beloved king.

Kor, do you believe in magic?

Well, I tell you, I believe a lot more in this.

Here.

What's this for?

'Bout time you learn how to use one.

Won't do us any good, you know?

Oh, yeah?

Because of my father's knowledge pool.

Shurka could see everything that we're doing.

Well, if that's the case,

better do something.

My magic doesn't work outside of the castle

but I'll try.

Watcher, watcher, evil eye, Shurka's magic

I do defy, pool of power, pool of light,

with this spell I blind your sight.

Damn him.

He has beaten me this time, oh no!

You have not found that ring, yet.

We're still looking, master.

Anukin, Anukin.

If the wizard's son finds it before me,

I am finished.

Isn't this enough?

What?

Isn't this enough?

Oh, no, no, you, lots of practice.

Keep it up.

Why?

Because you've gotta get good at it, Simon,

now keep it up, put your whole body into it.

So you are alone, my little friend.

The ring.

I haven't got it.

Then you'll tell me where it's hidden.

I don't know where it is. I swear I don't.

Help, Kor!

Take the sword, my son.

Father?

Take the sword and fight.

This evil warrior is only a phantom.

You must be brave, my son.

You know, this is not exactly a fine state of affairs.

Kor the Conqueror babysitting a little boy

and his�

Are you talking to me, furball?

Simon?

This is ridiculous.

Well done, Sir Knight.

Who are you?

Does it matter?

I've been watching you.

You really know how to fight.

Well�

The whole trick is to put your entire body

behind the sword when you swing.

We've prepared a feast in your honor, Sir Knight.

We will cater to your every need,

your every desire.

Well, you see, I'm traveling with some friends,

and I really should wait for them.

Your friends will be along soon.

Simon.

Simon.

Simon.

Simon.

See the power, Simon.

See the power of evil.

See the power of black magic.

You too can have the power,

more power than Shurka.

You will be the king of the wizards.

No!

Find the ring.

Spirits of darkness,

spirits of light.

Arise ye powers of good and fight.

Metal.

Magic one, stop this evil.

What are you doing, stop them!

I give you another, almighty one,

a princess.

Take her, then.

Now Calgula.

You fool, give us the ring

or we will destroy you.

We will destroy you.

Simon, here.

All that was magic.

Black magic.

Akresha, Akresha,

no, no!

What is it?

They have killed her.

Who?

Akresha, my insect woman.

This wizard boy is proving bothersome, Udea.

He would be insignificant if you had the ring.

Wulfrick was shrewd.

He has hidden it well.

Gather the king's advisors.

Who's that?

Princess Aura.

She likes me,

even though I'm not a prince.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

Do you have a wife?

No.

Do you have a family?

No.

Well, you must have a home.

I don't.

You know what I think?

What?

I think you must get awfully lonely.

You know what I think?

What?

I think you talk too much.

What is it?

Riders, coming this way.

Come on, get the lead out, fuzz face.

Won't escape me now, Kor.

Kor.

Kor.

- Kor. - Huh?

It's fox fire.

Where?

Fox fire.

What?

A hundred years ago, four of the world's

greatest warriors were buried here,

but with their help,

we could easily defeat Shurka.

They're dead, son,

and if those warriors were as brave

as you say they were,

they probably deserve to sleep in peace.

Now, why don't you go to sleep?

Goodnight.

Fox fire.

If they were with us, we'd be an army,

and they can't get killed,

because they're already dead.

It's not like they're doing anything,

and when we're done with them, I could always put them back.

Light and darkness,

day and night,

I bid you collide.

Rekindle these warrior spirits,

breathe life into their souls.

Arise, warriors of the past,

pick up your swords,

and prepare to do battle.

Who wakes us?

Who disturbs the dead?

We are tired.

So very tired.

We are lonely, lonesome.

So very lonely.

Join us.

Join the dead.

We need blood, fresh blood.

Who disturbs the dead?

We are lonely, so very lonely.

Join us.

Join us, Simon.

Become one of us.

One of us, one of us,

forever, forever.

Leave us.

Leave us be.

We belong dead.

We belong dead.

Dead.

Asleep.

At rest.

Forever, forever.

Forever.

Forever.

Sleep in peace this time, my brothers of the sword.

Sorry.

You should be.

Look, Kor, I was only trying to get some help.

Simon,

soldiers, be they dead or alive,

deserve respect.

You have spirit.

I like that.

It would be to your advantage

to get used to my presence.

I could very well be your new�

What is it?

The king's advisors now await you.

Very well.

Care to come along?

This could prove very amusing.

Here's something to think about, dear girl.

I intend to rule Axim.

I will need a queen at my side.

Frankly, Udea is beginning to bore me.

Don't you think it'd be lovely to be my queen?

I hate you.

We shall have this chat again.

Guard her well.

Shurka, we don't know where the ring is.

I believe him, my little friend.

Perhaps it is wise to be cautious.

You, the talkative one, come closer,

come, come.

Fine.

Now,

I want you to watch carefully.

Later I expect you to tell everyone

that a similar fate awaits them

if I am not told where that ring is.

Look at you.

Pouting?

Over the loss of your king?

Cowering from me like children?

Afraid?

Of course you are.

You pretend to be men

but what you really are are a pack of spineless,

squeaking mice.

Kor.

Kor, wait up, please.

I'm sorry about last night.

Well, there's one good thing about last night.

What's that?

It happened yesterday.

Sorry but I don't understand.

Yesterday's gone, Simon.

Today's a new day.

Let's hope today becomes a great day, okay?

Okay, which way?

This way, come on.

Come on, fur ball.

This way, huh?

You're lost, aren't you?

Totally.

Help, help!

Come on, come on.

Help!

Help!

Leave me alone, be off, be gone,

I told you, I can't.

I am, I am.

Let go of me, help, help, let go of me, stop that.

Enough.

Oh really, that's not very nice.

You hold onto this for me, Simon.

You two scamper.

Live and learn.

Hold on!

Well.

My reputation precedes me.

Good, very good, good, good, very good.

Ha ha, what a guy, what a warrior.

What is this?

It's a magic wall.

Pretty neat stuff, huh?

It's wine.

Sure is.

Thank you.

Be my guest.

Yes, it's a good wine, may I?

Could I have just a little more?

Thank you.

It's wonderful.

I just wish your glasses were a little bigger.

So tell me, little man, who are you?

Erla, Erla the Hobgoblin.

Kor, I've heard of him.

He's the forest magician.

If he's a magician,

how did he end up in that mess with the lizard men?

Because his magic doesn't work

outside of the pink stones.

What were you doing outside the pink stones?

I wanted to go to the castle

to stop this Shurka myself.

He sent his beasts to kill me.

Look.

You must hurry.

The power of good is fading.

It's Shurka's soldiers.

Where's the boy?

Give him to us.

We know you have him.

A sword, captain.

My baby.

Erla, what's the fastest way to get to the castle?

The fastest may be the most dangerous.

You must be very careful.

Aura, she's still alive.

Who are they?

I don't know.

Never seen 'em before in my life.

Shurka's beasts are returning.

Boy, they never learn, do they?

Those slimy idiots.

The wall.

Thank you, dear.

All right, fellows, I thought we went

through this already.

Simon!

Use your power.

But I can't.

This is a magic place.

Well done, Simon.

Your greatest test is yet to come.

Gulfax must stay here while you face it,

but I have a plan.

We'll join you later when you need us most.

But I can't.

Nothing in this world is certain.

If you survive, we will join you.

Oh, come on, Simon.

That's enough of that, now.

I'll see you, fur ball.

The fastest way to the castle

is through the suicide cavern,

a place that feeds on fear.

Cheerful place, isn't it?

Stay back, Simon.

Just!

There once was a young maiden,

she went for a walk.

She went for a walk merrily.

Sing, boy.

- There once was a young man. - There once was�

He went for a walk.

He went for a walk.

Did he.

There once was a couple.

Sing, boy, sing, sing, sing in the way.

He went for a walk, did he.

We've done it, boy.

See what you can do with a bit of faith.

On towards the castle.

Hold it.

Go ahead.

I don't suppose we could discuss this?

You won't escape me now, Kor.

So we meet again, my little wizard.

Help me, Simon.

Come quickly.

Please, help me.

Save me.

You must save me, Simon.

This time I have you.

Aura!

Aura, where are you?

Where are you?

Show yourself.

Somebody must know its hiding place.

It is nearby, I can feel it.

Shurka, what is the meaning of this?

Your subjects doubt my power, Udea.

They keep the ring from me.

I won't have you manhandling my servants.

You no longer have any say in the matter, my queen.

Come on.

Have you found the ring?

Malcon.

I want that ring and I want it now.

Do try to find it, Malcon.

We're running out of dwarves.

Kor.

Kor.

What?

I thought you said you didn't know him.

You lied to me.

Well, let's say I bent the truth a little.

Has he been following you long?

Across three kingdoms.

What did you do?

It's what I didn't do.

What's that?

I didn't marry his sister.

Why not?

Because she's his twin sister.

Look at him.

What are they doing now?

They're preparing a big wedding dinner.

I can choose,

be the guest of honor or the dinner.

The good friar is very eager to perform the ceremony,

right, friar?

So do we marry you or marinate you?

I'll tell you, cyclops,

I'd do it but I just can't handle in-laws.

Laugh while you can.

Didn't your mother ever tell you

not to play with your food?

So it's dinner then, good, I'm hungry.

You still there?

Yes, Kor.

Try to untie me.

Mm.

Reach down.

Reach down and put some dirt in my hand.

Okay now.

Get out of here as quickly as you can.

What are you gonna do?

We don't even your sword.

Don't worry about me.

Run, I'll catch up with you.

I see you've put on a little weight.

More for everybody.

You know, as they say,

ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

That's my sword, hey, put my sword down, put it down.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You need training to use that sword.

Where are you, Kor?

Where are you Kor?

Kor?

I'm right here, cyclops, right here.

Right here.

Go on.

Oh Kor.

Hi.

I understand you're having your brother for dinner.

Right?

Huh?

Oh, Simon.

Let's go.

What's the matter?

You lied to me.

Yes, I did.

About the cyclops?

Well, then why did you come?

Why did I come with you?

Because I like you, Simon.

The first time I'm on the side of justice.

I like that.

See, treasures get spent and glory fades,

but justice and honor, they live forever,

and I wanna be part of that.

Simon, if I didn't like you,

would I still be with you?

Hey, I could have left you many times.

But you lied to me.

Yes, I did.

How do I know you're not lying now?

You don't.

Except think about it.

We've fought side by side,

cheated death side by side.

We're brothers by the sword, come on, Simon.

You know I'm not lying to you, don't you?

Yeah.

I do know.

Listen, we don't have much time.

It's okay, we're almost home.

Oh.

Do you hear something?

The castle stood over there.

This used to be a little stream.

You're kidding.

Shurka's becoming quite artistic.

I can't believe we've come all this way for nothing.

We'll find a way.

Back and forth,

golden and smooth,

warm and shining,

jewels for a queen,

a queen for Shurka,

which you've always wanted to be, Shurka's queen.

Young, handsome Shurka.

Shurka, have you gone mad?

You really are beginning to annoy me, my dear.

Let the girl be.

Did you forget it is I who rule Axehom?

No one rules me, Udea.

It's time you learned that.

Guards.

Arrest this man.

Guards.

I think not.

I grow weary of you, dear lady,

and seeing your beauty consumed by jealousy

chills my heart.

Most unpleasant situation,

but I do have a way to end my troubles.

Guards.

It never work.

The current would sweep it away.

You have a better suggestion?

You're not even building it right.

My young friend, I have probably built

more rafts than you've had hot dinners.

Help, please, help!

- No, Kor! - Please!

It's too dangerous.

Save me!

Help!

Help!

Please!

Oh.

Oh.

Help me, oh!

Help!

Help!

Help me!

Help!

Kor!

Look out!

Help!

Please!

Help me!

I can't find her.

She's gone.

Greetings, Kor, greetings, Simon.

Who are you?

I am Linea, mistress of the falls.

I have tested your manhood.

Why?

To see if you are worthy of my help.

Will you help us reach the castle in time?

I will grant you a swift passage across the falls.

Follow your hearts to the rainbow's end.

To me, I could die in there.

It's embarrassing.

I don't even know what I see in him.

- Yes. - Screw this, man.

The pleasure will come soon, my little friend, soon.

My boyfriend.

See you again.

Gulfax?

Gulfax!

Erla kept his word.

Looking good.

You got a new haircut?

Come on.

Quiet.

Which way?

Come on.

The ring.

I found the ring!

Uh oh.

Loyal citizens of Axeholm.

I have the pleasure of announcing

two historical events tonight.

The execution of a treacherous Queen Udea

and my marriage,

the new queen of our great kingdom, Princess Aura.

Before I become too festive.

My queen, any last words?

No, oh, well.

Sipra, are you ready with your bow?

Good, make it clean, Sipra.

Excuse me, excuse me everybody.

I'm sorry to break up your party,

but, no, no, no, no.

Don't get up for my sake, okay?

Please don't.

Who is Shurka?

I am.

At last we meet, Kor.

Thrilling, isn't it?

Seize him!

Mom, Dad!

Good, Simon, very good.

Sorry, I'm late.

Better late than never.

Take care, half pint.

Stop by when you want a little wine, eh?

Very little.

Where you going?

Nowhere, really.

Why don't you stay in Axeholm?

What?

No longer needed here.

No, Kor, I'll be needing you now more than ever.

You know, we all feel we need someone,

but I'm just wondering if that someone

isn't already within ourselves.

You did good, kid.

Good luck, son.

Kor?

Rule well, Simon.

Be a good king.

Go on, go on back, Simon.

You've got someone waiting for you.
