1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,390
The Cave of the Dragon

2
00:00:23,190 --> 00:00:25,739
An ancient legend says:

3
00:00:26,279 --> 00:00:29,749
a magical light somewhere shines

4
00:00:29,849 --> 00:00:32,949
that could give happiness
to the people.

5
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:43,039
To obtain it is the people's
cherished dream.

6
00:00:44,489 --> 00:00:47,169
So does the legend say.

7
00:00:54,149 --> 00:00:58,469
But an evil dragon,
the lord of darkness,

8
00:00:58,769 --> 00:01:01,869
guards this source.

9
00:01:03,659 --> 00:01:09,289
With this dream of happiness
people were born, lived and died.

10
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,689
So does the legend say.

11
00:01:42,209 --> 00:01:47,959
Hearing the prayers of the people,
Mother Earth birthed a son for them,

12
00:01:53,339 --> 00:01:55,379
and granted him unheard-of strength,

13
00:01:56,129 --> 00:01:59,999
and therefore named him Fist.

14
00:02:00,559 --> 00:02:01,979
Batyr came of age,

15
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:10,039
and people began to hope
that he'd bring them the light of joy.

16
00:02:11,389 --> 00:02:13,019
So does the legend say.

17
00:02:14,969 --> 00:02:18,329
And Mother Earth's son set out,

18
00:02:24,029 --> 00:02:27,669
and a glimmer of joy
shined on the people,

19
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:37,979
but just a glimmer.

20
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:56,969
Evil charms broke his connection
with the earth, the people,

21
00:02:57,599 --> 00:02:59,439
and lured him away,

22
00:03:03,059 --> 00:03:05,879
and the light went out.

23
00:03:45,929 --> 00:03:49,339
And on the Earth, as before,

24
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:53,779
people were born, lived and died

25
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:57,059
dreaming of happiness.

26
00:03:57,609 --> 00:04:00,039
And again Mother Earth answered
the people's prayers

27
00:04:00,139 --> 00:04:03,549
and gave birth to a second son.

28
00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:14,779
A great mind she gave him,

29
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:18,759
and therefore named him Kyl.

30
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:46,519
Everything went well and
smoothly in his hands,

31
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:17,189
and once again the hope was revived
that he would find the light of joy.

32
00:05:40,049 --> 00:05:44,609
For a moment the magical
radiance revealed itself,

33
00:06:23,429 --> 00:06:26,769
but he was torn away,

34
00:06:29,870 --> 00:06:31,870
distracted,

35
00:06:38,069 --> 00:06:40,299
bewitched by the dragon,

36
00:06:43,949 --> 00:06:46,189
and the light faded.

37
00:06:58,739 --> 00:07:01,399
And on the Earth, as before,

38
00:07:01,649 --> 00:07:05,909
people were born, lived and died.

39
00:07:07,709 --> 00:07:09,509
So does the legend say.

40
00:07:12,749 --> 00:07:16,509
And a third time did Mother
Earth gift a son to the people.

41
00:07:17,609 --> 00:07:21,260
Hope - Kiyal - she named him,

42
00:07:52,499 --> 00:07:55,039
and a talent placed in him:

43
00:07:55,139 --> 00:07:58,369
the skill to awaken Good

44
00:07:58,469 --> 00:08:01,649
by playing on the choor.

45
00:08:11,529 --> 00:08:15,599
And Kiyal grew up, and
people were drawn to him.

46
00:08:17,369 --> 00:08:19,509
So does the legend say.

47
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:36,079
And the day arrived:

48
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:21,119
barriers crumbled and retreated,

49
00:09:48,939 --> 00:09:53,179
and the sound of the choor
returned to Kulat his strength,

50
00:09:57,059 --> 00:09:58,739
and to Kyl his reason.

51
00:11:05,699 --> 00:11:09,179
Kiyal forgot his roots,

52
00:11:09,809 --> 00:11:12,059
and succumbed to fame.

53
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:18,019
And the evil dragon died.

54
00:12:42,869 --> 00:12:47,319
The light of joy then shone
for all the people.

55
00:12:51,419 --> 00:12:54,319
So does the legend say.
