have nothing that I want.
You were praying, Conan.
What were you praying for?
Look at the shrine.
See what you
are praying for.
What is there, Conan?
Think.
Show me the desire
in your deepest heart.
Valeria.
Where is this Valeria?
With Crom.
- Your god?
- She sits by the side of my god.
What I want,
you cannot give me.
Yes I can.
You can bring back the dead?
Do as I ask of you,
and I will.
Wake...
and remember.
Tell me what I must do.
Soon.
Conan, look!
Conan!
Doesn't that animal
look familiar?
I think it does.
I'm sorry about what
happened the last time.
They love us!
We will drink
to Dagoth,
the Dreaming God.
What do you want me
to do for you?
- That will bring back
the woman you love?
- Yes.
It is written
in the Scrolls of Skelos...
that a woman child born with a certain
mark must make a perilous journey.
It is her destiny.
My niece, Jehnna,
has such a mark.
-I want you to take her on that journey.
-To where?
Jehnna will show you.
From the day she was born,
she's been prepared for this.
There is a key
she must find--
a key only she can touch--
as it was written
in the Scrolls of Skelos.
- Where is it?
- In a castle.
- Guarded.
- By a wizard. Thoth-Amon.
- By a wizard?
- That frightens you.
You're afraid of magic.
And you will have
to deal with it.
- What good is a sword against sorcery?
- Then you're afraid to go?
No.
I will find a way.
What does this
key unlock?
A treasure.
A jewelled horn.
Only she can procure it.
Only she can
lead you to it.
And when she has it,
you'll bring her
back to me.
Then you will have
your reward.
We shall both have everything we want...
through magic.
No!
- Shh. It's all right. Don't be afraid.
- It's only a dream. It's only a dream.
- No! I saw--
- A dream. Jehnna, it was only a dream.
- Be still. Lie down.
- I-I saw it!
- No, you saw--
- I saw it again!
- You saw nothing. A nightmare.
- I did!
- Imaginings out of excitement.
- I did!
- Go back to sleep.
- I saw it again.
- Shh.
- I saw it. I did, I saw it.
Tomorrow, you'll start
your journey.
You'll need all your strength.
Your destiny is at hand.
- Sleep.
Shh. Shh.
Sleep.
All our destinies are at hand, even
Conan's, though he doesn't yet know it.
We don't need him,
my queen.
I don't need the Captain of the Guard
to steal a key.
That is a task
for a thief.
What I do need you for,
is to see that this dear child
is returned safely to the palace...
with both the treasure
and her virginity intact.
I will protect them both.
You better, my friend, for she must be
a virgin when she's returned to me...
so she can be
properly sacrificed.
One other thing, Bombaata.
It is not wise to have
the King of Thieves near the treasure.
So when the key
is in my niece's hand,
I want your sword
in Conan's heart.
Have the Elite Guard follow. They will
strike at the right moment to help you.
Conan must die.
Do you think
he's handsome?
Very ugly.
No, not him.
Conan.
Can't you judge
for yourself?
But how can I?
How many times
have I seen a man?
A real man?
All I've seen is you.
Meaning no insult
to you, Bombaata.
Yes, he is handsome.
Conan, wait!
We must go this way.
- Not yet.
- But you have to obey me.
Weren't you told?
There are rules to every game.
I believe you,
but there's magic in this game.
You'll have to be able
to fight it with magic.
Akiro.
Crom.
- What are they going to do?
- Have lunch.
Those savages should thank me
for sparing them a terrible stomach-ache.
Why would they want to eat someone
as old and as sour as you?
They thought
if they digested me,
my magic would be
in their blood.
At least they could have
washed you first.
I need you.
I'm yours.
Tell me more
about this key.
Oh, it's not
an ordinary key.
- It's a jewel.
- A jewel?
Yes.
The heart of Ahirman.
- Well, can it be worn?
- Only by me.
No one else
dare touch it.
If there is anything
here that you like...
