where is it?
there it is.
[ squeaking ]
can a man have no secrets without one
of you devils sneaking up on him?
I'm not stealing it.
it's the badge of my people.
from my tribe, from my world.
only the honoured wear it, like me.
the scholars of my tribe.
[ squealing ]
I'm talking to rats as if they would understand
the importance of such work.
[ mumbling ]
where next? That is my only problem.
a land filled with the blush of a robin's egg,
filled with dreamers and the magic of eons.
and here, the mydlands,
beaches as wide as this very mountain
and trees as high the sky -- you know they say
the earth boils under the surface
and seizes a man by the throat.
[ laughing ]
and the territories, where evil sparkles like gold.
I've seen plenty of that land already.
where next?
here.
[ roaring and wailing ]
[ stammering ]
[ screeching ]
ahhh!
[ growling ]
[ crushing bones ]
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...
[ growling ]
what is this?
a farewell gift.
a garden.
it's where the wildflowers once grew.
you pluck them daily -- I've planted seeds from my travels.
parsely and mango, squash.
you'll get lots to eat from this.
tao, the forest has plenty of fruits and vegetables to eat.
but now you won't have to walk so far.
-but I like to walk. -you choose
hardship over ease of life -- It's an intersting way to live.
you saved me from the terrons.
that I will always remember.
but I have a greater duty to my people.
it is time.
well, perhaps we'll cross paths again.
perhaps.
it's a lamb rushing into a den of lions, huh?
[ cawing ]
people.
always need to change things.
if they could move the tides,
they would -- change the world.
they'd leave nothing born of nature.
people.
[ cawing ]
there, like before.
like he was never here at all.
[ sighing ]
yes, the quiet.
[ growling ]
tao was always chattering.
he's worse than mockingbirds at darkness.
I won't Miss that.
and opinions.
more than the fishes of the seas.
"the great world isn't flat."
and..."a circle has no beginning."
[ roaring ]
yes?
I know.
But I don't care what you think.
I'm talking to myself.
[ grumbling ]
[ cawing ]
come and get it,
all fresh -- we have got
fresh cabbages,
blood oranges, prickly--
pears, damn.
Could I have some spoiled fruit?
only fresh for sale.
what do you have to trade?
If I use my water flask for food today, I go thirsty tomorrow.
then you'll go hungry today.
I see that you are a smart man.
you sell only the sweetest.
the others aren't brave enough to throw away
all the bad fruit, and all of it rots.
I'll wager you for your goods.
a simple riddle.
solve it, and I'll sort all of your fruit,
and leave with nothing -- don't,
and I'll take your best piece.
agreed. heh, heh.
at night they come without being fetched.
by day they are lost, without being stolen.
what are they?
I'll give you a hint.
they belong to the night. oh, come on.
the answer's so simple.
thief, thief.
Hey, I was just talking to him.
him...
the eiron.
take the eiron thief away.
[ yelling ]
why am I being detained?
I haven't stolen anything.
I was just talking to him.
using your mouth is your crime, eiron.
give to the one with the scarred brow...
if not, leave it on the island in his memory.
island. What island?
down.
row.
harder, men.
[ cawing ]
I'm looking for a man whose mouth
moves faster than a cricket's legs.
I've heard life on the island is quite an adventure.
the only problem is it doesn't last very long,
less time than it takes to eat a meal.
when you die today,
think of all those you killed
before you ate their meal.
we didn't kill before we ate
their meal -- we killed them after.
you wretched troll!
[ laughing ]
hide yourselves.
go inside.
I'm looking for a man.
he's weak and scrawny.
he has a ring on his finger.
it's the colour of a leaf.
he was taken on a boat.
it had an eagle's head.
I've never seen him.
get away.
ohhh.
he's over there. get that man.
does this mean I'm not going to the island?
I want to watch you die myself, eiron,
in several different pieces.
[ cows bellowing ]
let's begin.
[ cheering ]
heeya, heeya!
pull.
ha, ha.
keep going.
ohhh!
you're no eiron.
who are you?
a traveller...
looking for another traveller.
and that concerns me?
why?
that eiron spoiled my land.
covered my meadows with sticks and gourds.
sounds like an eiron.
they are pests.
like fleas, tiny and harmless-looking.
but let them live, and they sting you all over.
we don't need they're kind of free-thinking in our world.
I want that man.
where is he?
what's left of him's on the island.
he's gotten his punishment.
you're free to leave.
but a word of advice.
don't go there, or there will be nothing left of you either.
thank you.
shhh.
why are you following me?
you were asking around about the eiron.
I know where they've taken him.
why are you telling me when others hide?
because I'm looking for someone there too.
and you are strong enough to help me.
I see by your clothing that you're not a terron.
and like me, not from tolphet.
you don't wish that man harm.
no.
what crime did he commit?
a crime of reason. making others think.
The eiron are master tricksters, pretending to be ignorant
but making others look so in the end.
just for challenging somebody's beliefs?
wit is dangerous to the simple-minded.
[ growling ] [ gasping ]
this is ruh.
he's a friend.
he just wants to make sure
you are as well.
beastmaster.
this island, where is it?
[ haisa ]: on a delta in the river.
the story goes,
that evil lives there.
I saw your friend. he won't last long.
I hope you enjoyed your ride.
but all good things come to an end.
what is waiting for you now will prove that.
throw them overboard.
you next.
[ laughing ]
go on.
come on.
what's that?
we should find cover. and stick together.
there's safety in a group.
just what we had in mind.
huh?
one of my people. Oh, no, no.
help us, eiron.
here, up here.
[ screeching ]
how did you get there? there's two of you.
never mind. Just hurry, fool.
[ roaring ]
ahhh.
run.
[ screaming ]
move along.
there's a room up ahead.
[ panting ]
[ laughing ]
where did you get this comb?
the woman on the dock. she gave it to me.
you're a liar.
She said something about leaving it on the island for...
for you.
did you touch her?
I swear on my life, I only met her for a moment.
I'll kill you if you're lying.
she thought you were dead,
but hoped that you weren't.
her hair --
was it down or up?
down or up!
up -- her hair was up.
her hair is beautiful,
like raindrops on honeysuckles --
never touched by another man but me.
I'd brush it nightly.
until I was brought here.
she still waits for you. I'll see her again.
only our innocence has kept me alive.
oh...
you watch the raft.
and stay low.
Ruh and I will check the island.
you will come back, won't you?
if I don't,
you get that raft and you go,
and don't ever look back.
no! What are you doing?
[ tao ]: how long have you been here?
long enough to see many die.
the cages -- who made them?
maybe the tolphets. maybe a sorceress.
to keep the prisoners from making weapons.
the creatures use the traps to catch their prey.
no, they can't. only glide a short distance.
other birds are the only things they don't kill.
sometimes I see them watching them --
flexing their wings, trying to learn.
if they ever do, and make it off this island,
no territory will be safe.
there was another ring like mine in the forest.
the tolphets hate your people. but why? We're harmless.
like the seabirds, your minds
have wings, soaring above the rest.
you put ideas into people's heads.
ideas which topple rulers.
all life shifts.
not even the winds stay the same.
rigid thoughts are the ones which break most easily.
and sometimes, I think we're less than beasts.
even the wild ones recognize those
these tolphets want to destroy anyone different from them.
only seek food at night, and never enter leafy terrain.
wait, I'm coming with you.
no, I've watched your steps:
I plan to see my haisa again. stay back.
we can help each other.
where's the other men you came with?
ahh...oof!
[ laughing ]
it's well-honed, but you'll never get a chance to use it.
[ growling ]
[ gasping ]
go away.
I said, leave me, ok? but I don't understand.
the boats will be coming and they'll see you.
you-- since the rains I have been here and survived,
and now, less than one sun with you--
how long before the trap doors open?
when they get here.
we're safe as long as we stay inside the cages.
so, when the bottom drops out, we hold on to the bars.
yes...for how long? um...
nylus?
nylus...nylus.
stay low.
stay low, I said, but--
nylus! I must be close to death.
I can hear my haisa's voice. where are you?
well, I can't be far behind,
because I can hear something as well.
if she's on this island, you want her up here with us?
shut up! I'm trying to save us here.
[ growling ]
ahh! Ahh...
nylus!
hey.
hey, over here!
haisa!
nylus? I knew you were alive.
your face...
it's so good to see your face again.
why'd you come here?
you knew the danger.
we'll die her today.
every night without you was a death.
at least now,
we go together.
[ hissing ]
help us! help!
is someone down there?
help us, please.
[ roaring ]
if we had a rope,
we could tie ourselves in.
your hair. no.
the bottom opens. we'll fall to our deaths.
and whose fault will that be?
ahh! nylus!
nylus, behind you.
[ groaning ]
nylus?
[ roaring ]
[ hissing ]
ruh...ha, ha, ha.
oof!
falling...
it's something you do so well.
[ screaming ]
you could've done that for me.
-can you stand? -are you ok?
the burrow -- there.
yeah.
ahh!
they didn't know about this underground world until now.
it'll never be safe once they learn its entrance.
hey, who are you?
he's the one who brought me here.
he's a beastmaster.
and that tiger belongs to him.
ruh doesn't belong to anyone.
where do these tunnels lead?
throughout the island, there's only one way to leave.
the boat that brought me here.
I planned to secretly tie myself to it,
have it drag me back to tolphet through the sea.
you would have died.
these waters are full of crocodiles.
it doesn't matter. we have a raft.
we did.
the other prisoner tried to take it.
I stopped him, but he cut the rope.
and the raft went with the current.
[ cawing ]
do you have any vine?
mm-hmm.
time for a little swim.
always good to bathe before we're becoming dinner.
[ laughing ]
[ cawing ]
throw her over!
[ screaming ]
come on, row.
hey!
come on, faster.
come on, row.
put your backs into it.
row.
come on, men, row.
cut that rope. Hey.
come on, push off.
push it.
[ roaring ]
hurry.
[ roaring ]
kill the tiger or
we all die!
yahh!!
[ hissing ]
get to the boat!
dar. go -- leave me.
I can't leave without him.
it's him or all of us.
[ cawing ]
they're stopping.
paying homage.
to the mightiest bird of them all.
the noble eagle.
[ laughing ]
this will bear some weight.
is it a long journey
back to your village in the mountains?
in haisa's arms, no path is too difficult.
thank you, beastmaster, we'll be sure
to spread the news that a sula still lives.
and you, with all the words and the riddles.
riddles?
yes, in the market at tolphet.
"at night they come,"
"and by day they're lost, without being stolen."
tell me the answer.
ha, ha...of course.
it's nothing less than...
the stars.
travel safe. thank you.
it's easy to see why that
man chose to stay alive.
now you understand.
yes.
good.
oh. what?
my water flask.
[ laughing ]
you're still lucky you have your jade ring.
maybe not. This thing almost got me killed.
no...tao,
roots are important.
it's been a long time since I've seen my tribe.
some of the greatest trees
and they survive strong winds because they stand together...
their roots intertwined.
do you understand?
yeah.
good.
are you coming?
to the camp?
no more gardens, all right?
what's wrong with gardens?
they require water.
that one used air.
air? yeah.
but we do need water.
good idea. I'll dig a well.
no! No wells.
carrying the, the water up the cliff...
it'd be much easier.
well, sometimes things are better
when they're not easy.
Why does everyone resist change?
