  1. 00:00: Labor Under the Blood Moon

    Elizabeth struggles through severe labor pains inside the royal delivery room. Outside, a blood moon hangs in the sky. Palace priestesses crowd around her bed to assist, trying to manage the difficult birth as her strength begins to fade.

  2. 00:19: A Desperate Run Home

    Edward charges through the dense border forest alongside his pack companions. He runs in full wolf form at top speed. He pushes across the rough terrain, desperate to make it back to Elizabeth's side before her labor concludes.

  3. 00:43: The Old Lord's Harsh Command

    Old Lord Kyle enters the delivery chamber and hears that the male infant is fading fast. He rejects the priestess's warnings about the danger to Elizabeth. Kyle demands that they take Elizabeth's primordial origin immediately to rescue the royal heir.

  4. 01:33: Stripped of Her Essence

    The Head Priestess extracts Elizabeth's primordial essence and uses it to revive the infant. The process wipes away Elizabeth's scent entirely. Seeing her lifeless form on the bed, Old Lord Kyle commands his men to cast her body into the Abyss.

    Edward runs into the palace corridor and spots a covered cart carrying Elizabeth away. Kyle blocks him from seeing her face, citing palace law. A wolf-fang pendant slips from Elizabeth's grip, and Edward picks it up from the stones, weeping.

    Years later, Elizabeth enters an outpost tavern after slaying wild beasts to pay tuition for her daughter Ayla. A messenger suddenly kicks open the tavern door and screams that Ayla is in serious trouble at the Royal Hunter Academy.
