I've been waiting for 40 minutes...
Bird #2 He probably won't survive another winter.
Joshua
Even birds have somewhere to return.
Joshua looks toward the gigantic wall.
Joshua
What's it like behind that wall?
Joshua
I'm actually going to punch you.
Elias
You say that every time.
Elias
You're still breathing.
Joshua
Do you think the people inside the wall...
Ever go hungry?
Elias
Joshua!!
Lower your voice!
Elias
If a Wall Guardian hears you...
You'll disappear.
Elias
Curiosity gets Greybloods killed.
Elias
My mother still works inside the wall.
Elias
Father says...
She'll come back one day.
Joshua
I don't even know if my parents are alive.
Elias
Dad is still searching for them.
Don't lose hope.

After all...
I already have a family.
Wall guardian
📢 Wall Guardian HEY!!
Wall guardian
MOVE AWAY FROM THE ROAD!!
NOW!!
Wall guardian
THE COUNT'S CARRIAGE IS COMING!!
RUN!!
The ground begins to shake.
Horse hooves echo across the valley.
Wall guardian
📢 Wall Guardian YOU FOOLS!!
The Count
The sound of galloping horses grows louder.
Wall guardian
GET OFF THE ROAD!!
A luxurious black carriage appears through the dust.
Wall guardian
Lower your heads!
NOW!!
Sir count
??? Why has my carriage stopped?
Wall guardian
M-My Lord...
Two Greyblood children wandered onto the road.
The carriage door slowly opens.
A tall noble steps out.
Silver hair.
Golden eyes.
An immaculate black coat.
Not a speck of dirt touched him.
Sir count
Raise your heads.
Sir count
So...
These are the insects delaying my journey.
Wall guardian
Please forgive them, My Lord.
They're only children.
Sir count
Do wolves spare lambs because they're young?
Sir count
Then why should I?
Joshua slowly raises his head.
Sir count
You don't seem afraid.
Wall guardian
Have you lost your mind?!
Elias
Joshua!!
Stop talking!
Sir count
It's been years...
Since a Greyblood dared to speak to me like that.
Sir count
Tell me your name.
Sir count
Joshua...
I'll remember it.
The Guardians slowly draw their swords.
A Father's Resolve
Wall guardian
By the Count's order...
Execute them.
Joshua grabs Elias's arm.
The two boys sprint down the dirt road.
Wall guardian
After them!!
Several guards begin chasing them.
Elias
They're catching up!
A horse suddenly races between them and the guards.
Wall guardian
Who dares interfere?
A middle-aged man steps down from the horse.
His clothes are worn.
His hands are rough.
His eyes hold no fear.
Wall guardian
Move aside.
The Count has ordered their execution.
Uncle Rowan
They're children.
Wall guardian
The Count's orders are absolute.
Uncle Rowan
Then tell your Count...
He'll have to step over my corpse first.
The Count slowly walks forward.
Sir count
You would die...
For Greyblood children?
Uncle Rowan
I'd die...
For my sons.
Rowan draws a battered sword.
Despite being outnumbered, Rowan forces three guards back.
A thin line of blood appears across his chest.
