Dragonkeeper VIOLENCE/GORE 3

 – A man chases a young girl and releases a flying insect with poison venom that bites her; the child stumbles and gasps, the man pulls her by the hair and she seemingly takes a last breath until a glowing mist encircles her and she is revived. A man drops a young girl and an orb over a cliff and a dragon flies after them, a man shoots an arrow that cuts the dragon’s wing and it falls, the dragon flies toward a beach where it crashes and the young girl tumbles safely on the sand. A man holds a piece of pointed metal to a young girl’s throat and a dragon lunges toward him. Many venomous insects swarm a young girl and a small mouse and the young girl falls motionless, but a man puts a drop of liquid in her mouth that revives her and she spits out a bubble of poison gas that pops and disperses (the mouse is unharmed after jumping into water). A man is swarmed by venomous insects and lies motionless until he spits out a bubble filled with poison gas and revives. A man that has transformed into a demon grows larger and larger and fills a cave until we see him nearing stalactites that move toward his eye and he yells as a burst of glowing energy blows through the area and destroys many necromancers (we understand that the demon was killed).
► A dragon charges toward a palace and drums sound an alarm as men arm themselves and open fire; the dragon raises a large wall of water that washes over them, many arrows are launched toward the dragon, that uses roof shingles to create armor on its back and it flies through the area as men try to wrap the dragon with chains. A young girl pretends to be struck in the abdomen with an arrow and creates a distraction so that she and a dragon can get away from many armed guards. A young girl drops a glowing orb and a young boy picks it up; they argue over the orb and the boy slaps the girl in the face, she then hits the boy in the face and bloodies his nose as she runs away and the boy throws something that she steps on and it causes her to leave tracks when she takes steps as she runs away.
► A man puts himself in a metal case and engages a system to drain power from a glowing orb and use it to treat an ailment that threatens his life; the connection is severed and the man falls out of the metal case but seems to have been transformed into a demon and it crawls toward a young girl that throws power blasts at it and seems to be making him stronger with each blow, followed by many trudging necromancers (they behave like zombies) that fight with a man using a sword; they pile on top of him and he struggles to keep a glowing orb from them. A dragon crash lands on a beach, injures its leg and tells a young girl that this is the end; the child won’t accept that and uses her powers to lift the dragon into the sky, where presumably it will be able to reach a place to be cured and the child collapses on the ground but is OK.
► Many armed men hold a dragon by chains around its neck and legs and march it into a cage as a young girl winces and a mouse bites a man’s hand; the girl screams causing a blast of energy that throws many men into the air and the dragon jumps out of the cage, it flies toward the surface of an enclosed area but cannot break through and passes a glowing orb to the young girl before falling back to the ground where more chains are wrapped around it. A man brings a barrel of what he calls “dragon parts” to a dying woman’s bedside and tells her that they will help her survive; she dies. Many glowing beams of light shoot out of a cave and into the clouds and people talk of a dragon having died; a man orders other men with blades to dissect the body and collect the body parts that we hear have magical healing and anti-aging properties.
► A young girl uses a rope to climb into a deep hole, she falls onto a pile of food and bones and cuts her hand (we see a bloody cut) and whimpers when a large dragon moves toward her (we hear heavy foot falls and see that the dragon is shackled with heavy chains). A young girl throws a blast of energy at a man when he tries to pour boiling water on a small mouse in a pot. A dragon lifts a young girl into the air where she can reach a rope that she uses to climb out of a deep hole. A young girl follows a glowing orb to a cave where there is a pool of water that we hear is the only place a dragon can be hatched from its shell. A young girl complains about walking across a rickety bridge and when a dragon follows her, the ropes break and they both fall; the girl uses her powers to get to the surface safely. A dragon carrying a young girl on its head leaps into a waterfall and dives into water, surfaces with the young girl sputtering but unharmed.
► A dragon with a glowing orb in its mouth approaches a young girl; a glowing mist encircles the child’s injured hand and heals it magically. A man touches a glowing orb and seems to become younger and healthier while a young girl elsewhere moans in pain. A man talks about being a dragon keeper and trains a young girl how to use her powers. A glowing orb is placed into a pool of water where it sinks and the water glows and a small dragon emerges and jumps into a young girl’s arms.
► A man plots to steal an orb that has magical properties and he goes to a cave where he orders another man to help him; he grabs the man by the throat when he questions him. A man being held by two guards exclaims that he didn’t kill a dragon and that it wasn’t his fault. A man orders an elderly woman to carry a very heavy basket filled with food up a steep walkway to a castle and she collapses; a young girl intervenes when the man raises a stick to beat the woman and the child carries the basket. A man puts his hands into a container that holds glowing blue liquid and other men holding crossbows threaten him to leave. A young girl grumbles when a woman wakes her and tells her to go feed the chickens. An infant cries incessantly and a man complains handing the child to a woman that cradles the baby and calms her.
► A large basket filled with food is dumped into a deep hole with a grate over the top of it and a small mouse accidentally falls in; a young girl tries to catch the mouse but is unable to when a man pulls her away and pushes her. A young girl picks up a small mouse in a barn and the mouse tries to eat a basket filled with chicken eggs. A young girl uses needle and thread to stitch a gash in a dragon’s wing and it winces with each stitch. A man is shown with splotches on his skin that are implied to be from some sort of illness. A small mouse vomits after a ride on a dragon’s back (we see goo).
► A voiceover describes images on wall paintings of a war between “necromancers” and dragons and we hear that dragons were jailed and persecuted. A woman and a young girl refer to themselves as “just a servant” in numerous scenes. A woman tells a young girl, “You can’t change destiny.” A young girl says that she is an orphan.
