hwpAnother world, another time. -
- In the age of wonder.
A thousand years ago, this land was
green, until the crystal cracked.
A single piece was lost,
a shard of the crystal.
Then strife began,
and two new races appeared.
The cruel Skeksis,
the gentle Mystics.
Here in the Castle of the Crystal,
the Skeksis took control.
Now the Skeksis gather
in the sacred chamber. -
- Where the crystal hangs
above a shaft of air and fire.
The Skeksis with their hard, twisted
bodies, their harsh, twisted wills.
For a thousand years
they have ruled. -
- Yet now there are only ten.
A dying race,
ruled by a dying emperor.
Imprisoned within themselves
in a dying land.
Once more
they gather at the crystal. -
- As the first sun
climbs to its peak.
As the Skeksis ravage the land,
they draw new life from the sun.
Once more
they will replenish themselves. -
- Through the power of their source,
their treasure, their fate...
The Dark Crystal.
But today, the sun ceremony gives
no comfort. An emperor lies dying.
Today, a new emperor
must seize the throne.
A thousand years ago,
the crystal cracked.
Here, far from the castle. -
- The race of Mystics
came to live in a dream of peace.
Their ways were the gentle ways
of natural wizards.
Yet now there are only ten.
A dying race. -
- Numbly rehearsing the ancient
ways in a blur of forgetfulness.
But today,
the ritual gives no comfort.
Today, the wisest of the Mystics
lies dying.
Today, they summon the one
who must save them.
In the Valley of the Mystics
there lives a Gelfling, Jen.
The Skeksis killed his family
and destroyed his clan.
Only Jen survived, to be raised
by the wisest of the Mystics.
But there is a prophecy...
A thousand years have passed.
Now, once more, the world
must undergo a time of testing.
Now it must be healed, or pass
forever into the rule of evil.
At this time, Jen is the chosen one.
Today, Jens pipe gives no comfort.
For today, his master lies dying.
And a journey must begin...
the journey of Jen.
- Master?
- When the three suns meet...
- Master, whats wrong?
- You are in danger, Gelfling.
- And I must leave you.
- Leave me?
- Master, no.
- I have told you of the Skeksis.
The Skeksis
killed my mother and father.
The story runs deeper
than you know. -
- And you are part of it.
I dont understand.
The Skeksis will vow to destroy you.
For the prophecy says
you must find the shard.
- The crystal shard.
- The crystal shard?
To save our world,
you must find the shard...
...before the three suns meet.
If not, Skeksis rule forever.
Where is it?
Aughra holds the shard.
Follow the greater sun for a day
to the home of Aughra.
She knows all the secrets.
Aughra?
Follow the greater sun?
But Im only a Gelfling.
I should have told you these things
long ago.
Now it is up to you.
Remember me, Jen.
We may meet in another life...
...but not again in this one.
Master!
Dont leave me.
I hate your whimper.
Quiet!
Hes not dead yet,
my Lord Chamberlain.
Kneel! Bow!
I...
I am still in power.
I...
Ill go where you send me...
...though I barely understand.
Dear friend, be well.
Receive your belongings,
receive them serenely.
Now we send forth Jen.
Watch over his dangerous quest.
Dear Master, Ill find the shard.
Im not ready to go alone.
All right, alone then.
The Emperor is dead.
Which one of us
will be the new emperor?
My Lord Chamberlain,
time to choose an emperor.
- It should be me.
- Not him! I must rule!
- You should be the emperor.
- Theres going to be a fight.
Its time to make my move.
Its me.
Were all with you.
- Chamberlain, wait! You cant!
- Get back, Spithead!
Lay down my sceptre!
I challenge!
- Trial by stone.
- Trial by stone!
Trial by stone.
Slaves, quick, the stone.
Pull!
Pull!
You whimpering worm.
- That did it!
- He cant beat that.
Hes really mad now.
Me! The Emperor!
Now, by the law, he must pay.
Stop!
Yes.
Let him go!
The Chamberlain is banished.
Now, bow down to me!
- I am Emperor!
- Hail to the new emperor!
Listen, the crystal.
The crystal calls.
To the crystal chamber.
- A Gelfling alive?
- A Gelfling!
The prophecy.
The prophecy says
Gelfling will destroy us.
No!
Garthim, attack!
Garthim soldiers, find the Gelfling.
The Gelfling,
bring him to the castle.
Garthim, death to Gelfling.
Ugly, hideous Gelfling.
What in the world...?
This place is weird.
Lets see... her name is Aughra.
Follow the greater sun for a day
to the home of Aughra.
Some directions.
Who is Aughra, anyway?
One of these things?
Maybe she murders Gelflings.
What am I doing here?
A Gelfling!
- Are you a Gelfling?
- Yes.
My name is Jen.
They killed all the Gelfling.
You cant be a Gelfling.
You look and smell like a Gelfling.
Maybe you are a Gelfling.
- Im looking for Aughra.
- Who sent you?
- My master, wisest of the Mystics.
- Where is he?
- Hes dead.
- He could be anywhere then.
- Are you Aughra?
- Are you afraid of me?
Do you think Im going to eat you?
What do you want of me?
- A crystal shard.
- Is that all, a crystal shard?
Drop him.
Aughra?
Aughra?
Whats it for?
Is that what you want to
