your fires.
He will come for me,
and when he does
he will kill you!
I remember days like this,
when my father
took me to the forest...
and we ate
wild blueberries.
More than
20 years ago.
I was just a boy
of four or five.
The leaves
were so dark
and green then.
The grass
smelled sweet
with the spring wind.
Almost 20 years
of pitiless combat!
No rest!
No sleep
like other men!
And yet the spring wind
blows, Subotai.
Have you ever felt
such a wind?
They blow
where I live too.
In the north
of every man's heart.
It's never too late,
Subotai.
No!
It would only
lead me back here
another day.
In even worse company.
For us there is
no spring...
just the wind
that smells fresh
before the storm.
[Chuckling]
[Jabbering]
Hey, old man.
Where'd you get
this stuff?
The dead. Our gods
are pleased with you.
They will watch
the battle. Heh!
Are they
going to help?
No. [Laughing]
Well, then tell them
to stay out of the way!
Crom.
I've never prayed to you before.
I have no tongue for it.
No one,
not even you will remember...
if we were good men
or bad.
Why we fought
or why we died. No.
All that matters
is that two stood against many.
That's what's important.
Valor pleases you, Crom,
so grant me one request.
Grant me revenge.
And if you do not listen,
then the hell with you!

[Crowd Chanting]
Doom! Doom!
Purging is at last at hand.
Day of Doom is here.
All that is evil:
All their allies.
Your parents,
your leaders:
Those who would call themselves
your judges.
Those who have lied...
and corrupted the Earth.
They shall all be cleansed.
[Crowd Chanting]
Doom!
You, my children,
are the water...
that will wash away
all that has gone before.
In your hand
you hold my light.
The gleam
in the eye of Set.
This flame will burn away
the darkness;
burn you the way
to paradise!
[Crowd Chanting]
Doom! Doom!
My child.
You have come to me,
my son.
For who now is your father
if it is not me?
Who gave you
the will to live?
I am the wellspring
from which you flow.
When I am gone,
you will have never been.
What will your world be
without me...
my son?

[Crowd Shouting]
[Shouting Continues]Between the time
when the oceans drank Atlantis...
...and the rise of the sons of Aryus...
... there was an age undreamed of.
And unto this, Conan...
...destined to bear
the jeweled crown of Aquilonia...
...upon a troubled brow.
It is I, his chronicler,
who alone can tell thee of his saga.
Let me tell you of the days...
...of high adventure.
Fire and wind come from the sky. . .
. . .from the gods of the sky,
but Crom is your god.
Crom lives in the earth.
Once giants lived in the earth, Conan.
And in the darkness of chaos. . .
. . .they fooled Crom and took
from him the enigma of steel.
Crom was angered
and the earth shook.
Fire and wind struck down the giants
and threw their bodies in the water.
But in their rage, the gods forgot
the secret of steel. . .
. . .and left it on the battlefield.
And we who found it. . .
. . .are just men.
Not gods. Not giants.
Just men.
The secret of steel has always
carried
