[edit] Lucian
- (to the council after Sonja has been sentenced to death ) I'll kill you! ALL OF YOU!
- I've lived by their rules my entire life. I've protected them. envied them. and for what? To be treated like an animal. We are not animals! Is this want you want? We can be slaves, or we can be... LYCANS!
[edit] Viktor
- (noticing Lucian watching Sonja) You are credit to your race. Do you know how to remain so? Keep your eyes on the ground.
- (after killing a complaining Nobleman) Would anyone else like to be heard?
[edit] Sonja
- (about vampires) And we don't die often.
[edit] Dialogue
(flashback of Viktor and Sonja watching a teenage Lucian spar with a group of vampires)
- Viktor: What do you think, Sonja? Shall we make more?
- Sonja: Of him?
- Viktor: Like him. Lucian will always be the first of the breed. The first of the Lycans.
- Lucian: (referring to a battle with werewolves created from William) I saw what you did out there. Very brave for a human. Have you come across them before?
- Raze: Only in stories.
- Lucian: Were you not afraid of them?
- Raze: Yes, but I wanted to live.
- Lucian: Are you afraid of me?
- Raze: Yes.
- Lucian: Well do not be. I will not bite... much.
- Raze: (laughs) You are like them?
- Lucian: No. A Lycan, yes, but not like them. Those you fought with tonight were animals. The spawn of William. Pure-bloods, if you will. No trace of human left. Savage, mindless beasts. As it has been told.
- Raze: I saw you. They obeyed you.
- Lucian: Yes. Yes they did.
- Viktor: Sonja, you risk too much for a father to ignore.
- Sonja: I am quite capable of looking after myself.
- Viktor: You have stung me, Lycan, with your betrayal. You were like a son to me. I gave you your life.
- Lucian: You gave me chains.
- Viktor: I would've thought that after all these years, you cannot have one without the other.
- Lucian: (to his fellow lycans, after stopping two from fighting) We, are not animals. Is this want you want? To be their entertainment? Their playthings? Their pets!? Cowering beneath the whip, and then fighting amongst ourselves! Is this want you want!? I've lived by their rules my entire life. I've protected them. Envied them. And for what? To be treated like an animal. WE ARE NOT ANIMALS! We do have a choice! We can choose to be more than this! We can be slaves, OR WE CAN BE, LYCANS!
- (Raze and a few other humans are being bitten by Lycans but Raze is resisting to the point where 4 vampires must restrain him)
- Viktor: Wait! Do you not realize this is a gift I am giving you?
- Raze: It's a curse!
- New Lycan Slave: What have they done to us?
- Older Lycan Slave: You'll find out soon enough.
- Raze: They turned us into... like you?
- Lucian: Yes.
- Raze: Why?
- Lucian: He wants to use you for his own protection.
- Raze: I would die first.
- Lucian: Well, that need not happen. Come sunrise, I leave this place. Anyone willing to take the risk may follow. There's a new life waiting beyond those walls, my friend, and you can be apart of it. With us.
- Lucian: Sonja, if I were to leave from this place, would you come with me?
- Sonja: Do not say that. Do not even think it. My father would have you hunted down. You would be marked for death.
- Lucian: (talking about his collar) Not if I can remove this. (shows her a key) I made it myself, this will be my freedom.
- Sonja: Lucian, promise you will never use it. Please!
- Lucian: Is that your answer then? You will not come with me, so you want me to stay here for you? Like this? Like an animal?
- Sonja: Lucian!
- Lucian: Vampire and Lycan, we are both children of Corvinus. Yet my kind are slaves. I will use this one day. And I will leave this place. But I can never be without you.
- Viktor: You were sorely missed at council.
- Sonja: There are other demands of my time as you know.
- Viktor: I see. I hoped you enjoyed your little moonlight stroll.
- Sonja: I was out patrolling.
- Viktor: You were disobeying. I told you to stay within these walls. You risk too much for a father to ignore. You will leave the wolves to the Death Dealers.
- Sonja: And why father is my risk any greater than their's?
- Viktor: They are not my daughters. And they are not council members. You are. And one day you will become an elder, your birthright. Sonja, you are well thought of at council. But that is a precarious thing. They grow tired of your games and your absences. The dangers of the forest are not greater than those of the council. You will learn the dance of politics. To be ruthless and cunning. But above all, you will be loyal to your family. To me. Without the loyalty between us, we are no better than the beasts at our door.
- Viktor: I wanted to believe your lies, but I knew it could not be true, not my own daughter. How could you.
- Sonja: Father I love him!
- Viktor: Bah! YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME! To be with a animal! I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING! (to the guards outside Sonja's room) She does not leave this room!
- Xristo: With respect Lucian, I do not see the wisdom in waiting for her. She is not one of us.
- Lucian: She is the one who set us free.
- Xristo: But she is a vampire! If she has betrayed you, she could lead them to all of us!
- Lucian: (grabs Xristo by the throat) Death Dealers will undoubtly be on the hunt. And they will eventually find us. But not by her doing. I trust Sonja with my life, and as long as I'm in command so will you. [releases Xristo and walks off]
- Sabas: (off-screen to Xristo) I told you not to say anything.
- Coloman: (about Lucian) He is as much a diesease as William's pestiliance. You need to bring your pet back.
- Viktor: Thank you Coloman, the obvious escaped me! I do not need to lift a finger, Lucian will return of his own free will. I have something he wants.
- Raze: It is a trap. You know that.
- Lucian: I will not let her die alone.
- Raze: They followed you here Lucian. If you go, we will too.
- Lucian: Let me tell you something my friend, they only followed me at the idea at being free. You can hold them together until I get back and lead them if I do not.
- Viktor: You defiled my daughter!
- Lucian: I loved her!
- Viktor: You killed her!
- (during the final fight, Lucian has just about won his fight with Viktor)
- Viktor: I should have crushed your head under my heal when you were born.
- Lucian: Yes, you should have. (stabs Viktor through the head with a sword) But you didn't.
- (the Lycans have won the battle)
- Raze: Lucian, it is finished.
- Lucian: (to himself) No. It is just beginning.
