Episode 5 Scene by Scene

  1. 00:00: Sheltering the Ruined Warrior

    A quick flashback shows Anya finding the unconscious armored man on the riverbank. Inside her wooden cabin, she gently cleans the corruption on his face. Meanwhile, hostile dark soldiers patrol the woods just outside her door.

  2. 00:23: A Sudden Attack and Restraint

    Erelo wakes in a panic and chokes Anya. A blue crest on her wrist suddenly glows, sending energy that soothes his corruption. Hearing armed soldiers banging violently on the door, Anya quickly wraps him in a dark hooded cloak.

  3. 00:44: Confrontation at the Doorway

    A monstrous demon leader enters carrying a green torch. Anya lies and says only she and her dying servant live there. The hunter mistakes the cloaked figure for rotting flesh, threatens to burn them, and leaves.

  4. 01:17: Striking a New Bargain

    Anya demands the stranger's name, and he introduces himself as Erelo. Having felt her wrist crest ease his painful curse, Erelo offers to chop wood and repair her roof as rent. Anya accepts his proposal.

  5. 02:04: The Golden Light Strikes

    The next morning arrives quietly. Erelo sits alone outside the cabin and inspects his injured hand. Without any warning, a violent beam of golden light crashes down from the sky right behind him on the ground.

How Episode 5 Ends

Erelo sits outside in the morning sunlight, quietly studying the corruption on his hand. Suddenly, a blinding pillar of golden light blasts the earth directly behind him. Who sent this blast from the sky, and does an Olympian god know that the cursed dark prince is hiding at Anya's cabin?
