Episode 3 scene by scene

00:00: History of the Golden Bloodline
An illustrated map displays the history between the bloodlines. Drawings depict black-blooded individuals being hunted down, locked in cages, and drained of their blood over centuries. The golden-blooded nobility uses this stolen blood to extend their own lives.
00:27: A Mark on the Cell Wall
Irma opens her eyes on a pile of straw in a cold cell. She stands up and walks over to the dungeon wall. There, scratched directly into the stone, she discovers the etched raven mark that belonged to Mara.
00:50: Escape Through the Woods
Years earlier, Irma and Mara ride horses through a dense forest to escape pursuers. They slide off their mounts and hide in the thick undergrowth. Once the danger passes, they laugh in relief, and Mara thanks Irma for rescuing her.
01:26: Demanding Answers at the Bars
Irma returns to the present with grief and panic. She charges at the barred gate of her cell and grabs the iron. She screams out into the empty dungeon hallway, furiously demanding to know what the captors did to Mara.
