THE BLOODBOUND ACCORD
Chapter 1 : Stop Talking
[Vampire Empire - Execution Square]
Crowd
DEATH TO THE BLOOD PRINCE!
Guard
Because the crowd is angry.
Lucien Draven
They seem angry either way.
Lucien Draven
You'd think they'd get tired eventually.
Guard
This isn't time for jokes.
Lucien Draven
It's the perfect time.
[At the imperial balcony.]
Herald
Prince Lucien Craven, heir of the Vampire Empire.
Herald
You stand accused of treason against the crown.
Herald
How do you answer these charges?
Lucien Draven
See? Nobody ever listens after they ask.
Emperor Valerius
[Silence falls instantly.]
Emperor Valerius
Lucien Draven.
Emperor Valerius
The council has reached its verdict.
Lucien Draven
Let me guess.
[The executioner approaches.]
Executioner
Any final words?
Lucien Draven
Whoever framed me did a terrible job.
Lucien Draven
I would've made it much more convincing.
Executioner
You're an unusual man.
Lucien Draven
That's what keeps getting me into trouble.
[The executioner raises his blade.]
Lucien Draven
So this is how it ends.
Lucien Draven
No dramatic rescue.
???
You're making death sound boring.
Lucien Draven
Did I finally lose my mind?
Lucien Draven
Who are you?
???
Someone very far away.
Lucien Draven
Answer the question.
Lucien Draven
The werewolf prince?
Lucien Draven
Forgive me. I'm currently being executed.
Lucien Draven
Try to keep up.
Kaelen Voss
That's unfortunate.
Lucien Draven
Is that your version of sympathy?
Kaelen Voss
I'm still learning.
Lucien Draven
You're terrible at it.
[The executioner swings the blade.]
Kaelen Voss
Someyhing is wrong.
Lucien Draven
More wrong than my execution?
Kaelen Voss
Look at the moon.
Crowd
[The silver moon slowly turns crimson.]
Priest
After all these centuries...
Kaelen Voss
I have a very bad feeling.
Lucien Draven
You're not the one about to die.
[A burning pain explodes across Lucien's chest.]
[Hundreds of miles away.]
[Wolf Kingdom - Royal Training Grounds]
Palace Guard(werewolf)
Your Highness?!
Palace Guard(werewolf)
What's happening?!
Palace Guard(werewolf)
What?
[A crimson symbol burns into Kaelen's chest.]
Kaelen Voss
That's definitely not normal.
[Back in the execution square.]
Priest
THE BLOODBOUND ACCORD!
Priest
The bond has chosen!
Priest
The heirs have been marked!
Lucien Draven
Tell me that's not what I think it means.
Kaelen Voss
Because I think we're soul-bound.
Lucien Draven
Absolutely not.
Kaelen Voss
Unfortunately the moon disagrees

Chapter 2: Soul-Bound
[Vampire Empire — Execution Square]
Lucien Draven
Absolutely not.
Kaelen Voss
Unfortunately, the moon disagrees.
Lucien Draven
There has to be a mistake.
Kaelen Voss
The giant glowing mark on my chest says otherwise.
Lucien Draven
You have one too?
Kaelen Voss
That's usually how a bond works.
Lucien Draven
I hate this already.
Kaelen Voss
The feeling is mutual.
Priest
THE BLOODBOUND ACCORD HAS RETURNED!
Guard
What does that mean?
Priest
It means the heirs have been chosen!
Priest
The vampire prince and the werewolf prince are now bound!
Lucien Draven
That's impossible.
Kaelen Voss
You're saying that after hearing my voice in your head?
[The crowd begins to panic.]
Crowd
The prince is linked to a werewolf?!
Lucien Draven
They're taking this surprising well.
Kaelen Voss
Your sarcasm is exhausting.
Lucien Draven
Yet here you are.
Kaelen Voss
Against my will.
[On the imperial balcony.]
[The square immediately quiets.]
Emperor Valerius
Take the prince back into custody.
Lucien Draven
I'm not being executed anymore?
Kaelen Voss
You sound disappointed.
Lucien Draven
I was emotionally prepared.
Kaelen Voss
That's concerning.
Lucien Draven
Gently. I'm royalty.
[As Lucien is dragged away, a strange feeling washes over him.]
Lucien Draven
Why does my shoulder hurt?
Kaelen Voss
I may have been punched.
Lucien Draven
Are you telling me I can feel your pain?
Kaelen Voss
I think I'm telling you we're in serious trouble.
Chapter 3 : Quiet
[Vampire Palace — Holding Cells]
Lucien Draven
You've really upgraded my room.
[The cell door slams shut.]
Lucien Draven
This is familiar.
Kaelen Voss
You were imprisoned before?
Lucien Draven
Three months
Lucien Draven
For a crime I didn't commit.
Kaelen Voss
That's exactly what a guilty person would say.
Lucien Draven
And that's exactly what an annoying person would say.
Lucien Draven
Why are you so quiet?
Kaelen Voss
About the Accord.
Lucien Draven
What about it?
Kaelen Voss
My tutors used to tell stories about it?
Kaelen Voss
Everyone who was Bloodbound changed history.
Lucien Draven
That's not concerning at all.
Lucien Draven
Of course there is.
Kaelen Voss
Most of them died young.
Lucien Draven
I preferred the first part.
[Footsteps approach Lucien's cell.]
Guard
The Emperor wants to see you.
Kaelen Voss
That doesn't sound good.
Lucien Draven
Nothing about my life sounds good lately.
Lucien Draven
If I die, I'm haunting everyone.
Lucien Draven
Especially you.
