01x08 - Stardust

[bunniefuu]

Today,
citizens of the southern dunes,

hailing from the
magnificent Observatory,

- the harvester of stars...
- The harvester of stars...

- the tamer of beasts.
- The tamer of beasts.

- The carrier of Sacred Scrolls...
- Sacred Scrolls.

- The messenger of destiny.
- The messenger of destiny.

The Oracle!

Dare to face the truth

and learn what the
Oracle holds for you.

Come, and receive
your destiny scroll.

Omar, son of the sailor, Jaffar.

The timing of
this scroll is meticulous.

It will reveal your
destiny by nightfall.

- Wait for the...

- tick.

It was set for
the Northern time.

- Congratulations, future warrior.
Now you're a man!

You have no
business here, sewer rat.

- Let go of me!

Hey!

- Where do you think you're going?

Yassmin,
daughter of the doctor, Yassin.

- Oh, no, no, no, no.

- How dare you?

I'm of age and I
wish for a destiny.

- Your kind is not allowed here.

I just want a scroll.

What do you
want to be, dusty lady?

Anything... but this.

I think I've got
just what you deserve.

Next.

Assem,
son of the poet, Kassem...

Mama, Mama, I'm a doctor!

With this scroll.

My past is wiped away...

and I become Nawara, The...

Nothing.

Is the
star with him, Tin Can?

Yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes.

It's inside his cart.

He's taking it to the
Observatory to make new scrolls.

There are
far more thrilling things

to be done with such power.

I can help you!

Please, please,
please!

This is not my destiny.

If he won't give me a destiny,

I'll take it.

To the
Observatory, old friend.

Time is of the essence.

Does the cart feel
a bit heavy, Riphi?

Or are you getting old?

I know.

I hate Pallids too, but we
have to take the shortcut.

The star is fading, Riphi.

Not a sound.

Not even a breath.

Pallids!

Run, Riphi, run!

Mr. Oracle.

- Wait. I made a mistake.

- I was just trying to get a destiny.

You don't know what
it's like to be...

nothing.

It's okay.

You're in so much pain.

Ugh, Pallid spears.

I can heal that.

Don't you know?

I'm the stable girl.

Okay.

Be brave.

Deep breath.

So you're not trying
to k*ll me anymore?

Progress.

I messed up things, didn't I?

They took the star.

So no more scrolls
for anyone now.

I'm sorry about
your master, Riphi.

I'm sorry about everything.

I told you
someone hit me with a rock.

Someone else is here!

What?

Why are they still out there?

The star!

- It's with you!

Riphi, I need you to be strong.

- For the Oracle.

Whoa!

Wait!

Nawara.

You won't waste such a
precious star making scrolls.

Come on.

Let go of all that
ambition and pride.

You are one of us.

Or have you forgotten?

Hand over the star.

No.

The only thing you are destined
for, is to be a Pallid.

Hand over the star.

People like us don't get
to choose our destiny.

I'm not like you.

And I've already chosen.

Obliterate her!

Nawara.

- Come out, girl.

You made it!

- You're alive?
Indeed, I am.

- Use this!

Keep sh**ting!

You gave me an empty scroll!

No, no, no, no, no.
I gave you my scroll.

It's empty!

Now you know how I felt
when it was given to me!

It makes the journey
more interesting, right?

You planned this?

Parts of it, eh...
went a little sideways.

But you're here.

sh**t the lens!

You chose this fate.

Yes.

And sadly,

- you chose yours.

They're gone?

Mm, for now.

Riphi!

You knew I would end up here.

That's why you gave
me that scroll.

Scrolls point people
towards the right direction.

A little nudge.

So, what do you
want to be, dusty lady?

Nothing...

but this.
