The soIdiers ride some hours tilI find the army.
They were overwheImed, aII the army was dead.
Blood and corpses were along miles to the horizon.
In the center of the valley only was a dead tree.
The soIdiers ride back to the castIe to telI it to the king.
When they arrived and toId the things they had see. The king began to smile.

Pray for their souIs and Iive the best way you can.
Shit!
Do you think this is a game?
Thanks to ''my friend'' l'm stiII alive.
Don't go there.
Come with me and in a few days
Once there you can do what you want.
I'm hungry, I'm injured and tired.
Which of you wants to give me a son?
Come, I want a son.
I want a son.
You are going to give me a son.
Come here bitch!
I want a son.
Leave my seed germinate, give me a son.
Damn!!
Useless bitches, you don't serve to me.
If you don't give me chiIdren,
you'll give me slaves.
Calm down, relax, l don't want to hurt you.
Are you Iost?
It's very easy to get Iost here.
I always told it to my son when he was a child.
Do not enter deep in the forest if you
But it was too curious to hear me.
Do you want some soup?
Who are you?
My name is Landen and this is my house.
Do you live here alone?
Yes now. Time ago my son Iived with me.
Many years ago, in these Iands
They were very poor and their onIy
One night a beautiful boy was born.
But was a complicated chiIdbirth
The farmer was shocked and
Named him Hum.
He saw in his eyes the image of his wife.
But was so feared to lose his son too...
and every night huged him with all his forces
But everything vanished...
Seven years Iater that boy died drowned in a marsh.
People said it was an accident.
But the father never believed it.
He was resigned to lose him!
His mind and heart couIdn't hold so much death
and he went mad.
It couId not be, did not have to be,
Nobody wanted what it was.
The man took his son's body and carried it
He was Iooking for a strange place
Some said it onIy were legends,
And others simply didn't speak about it.
But that night, the sad peasant went
Buried his son under the roots and waited.
He slept all the night and when he woke up
his son was stand up cIoser ready for back home.
That boy, never returned to be himseIf.
He didn't speak, onIy some grunts.
Sometimes it seemed to be absent
and sometimes his eyes caused fear.
People tried to move away of him,
but for his father stilI was his beloved little son.
The boy grew surrounded in mystery...
untiI becoming a terribIe and perverse man.
Overflowed badness, robbed, vioIated,
killed and profaned as he want.
He wasn't reaIly guilty, he didn't want to do those things.
But that day he was out of control and...
You speak too much, father!
Forgive me, my son.
Father!!
Damn you! my son!!
Excuse me, bug!
I'm Iost and don't know how to return to the village.
Can you show me the way, pIease?
I don't want to stay all night with
ugly and nasty creatures Iike you.
Let's go quicky, Iet's go!
Jump, come on, jump!!
Two weeks ago, we were hired
for working at your viIIage's woodmill.
We wanted to celebrate it.
We went to the black wolf lodging.
They have good wine and they cook the best roast I've ever eat.
When the sunrising we took our tooIs
and started traveIIing here.
I don't beIieve in superstitions, devils or ghosts
and now that damned creatures force me to believe.
But now it doesn't matter.
AII people are dead.
Like you and me, there is no hope for us.
We must continue, woodman.
Brave attitude.
Your mother and your friend are dead.
No they aren't, they are alive.
They're dead, and you can't change this.
See this stone, they Ieft it so I could find them.
They need my help.
Your help?
Thanks to me you are not dead from the first time
you came inside this damn forest.
Thanks to you l'm here risking my neck, you see?
Or you think you're so important for risk others Iife?
What's happening to you?
You're a pamper girl!
You think everything is a game
and drag the others into your troubles.
Look at me, Iook at me!
if you do it again l'II kiII you!
l onIy want heIp you.
Then... heIp me!
What are you doing here, woodman?
Who do you want to trick?
You are not here as a casuaIty.
There's only a way to finish this.
Are you ready for another trip?
l no longer need you, bitch!
Come on bastard! You started this,
show me what you are made of.
You don't scare me.
Damn beast! Damn beast!
Ara!
EIean!
Don't worry, you stiII have me.
Drink from my blood, it's bitter like pain and sweet like death.
Drink from my blood!
Ara!
Mum, what's happening to me?
Whatever happens, just remember who your true parents are.
Remember where you were born.
AII women gave me dead chiIdren.
My destiny was to have these demons.
Your mother was the only woman abIe to give me a child.
But already has given me them.
Yeah, my Iittle girI!
I didn't had courage, forgive me!
Let my bIood run in you!
Forgive me!
Show me what you have of me inside you.
Be quiet if you want to live.
KiII them all.
Run!
Go on, Iet the bIood run!
Show me what is mine inside you.
Yes, that's right... my little girI.
Is this the education your mother has given to you?
Damn you... my daughter!
EIean, there's onIy a way to end this.
What...?
