Dark Moon: The Blood Altar Episode 11: Hazy Moon: Vargr's Blood

The episode opens with Kan facing Dardan, silhouetted against a stark light at the top of a staircase. Dardan descends, his fangs visible, and announces his ambition to be king of the world. He demonstrates his power by casually throwing Jino aside, alarming Kan's friends. Dardan then taunts Kan with the fate of their other captured companions.

Kan demands to know Dardan's goal, which Dardan readily reveals: global domination fueled by Kan's blood. In a desperate move to protect his friends, Kan offers himself to Dardan, demanding their safety in return. He reassures Jaka and the others, who are horrified by his decision, before walking away with Dardan into a mysterious light.

While Kan is taken away, the remaining friends trek through a forest, sensing their powers weakening and fearing for Haru. Jino notes his wounds heal slowly, and Solon suggests something is wrong with Haru. They realize the full moon approaches, which will empower Dardan, and hurry to intercept him, their desperation palpable.

Kan arrives at the Moon Altar to find Suha, referred to as Haru, lying unconscious on a stone slab. Dardan taunts Kan, revealing Haru's true identity as the 'Serene Princess'. Meanwhile, Jino explains to the other boys that Haru is the reincarnation of an ancient princess, whose power awakened their dormant memories and abilities, destined to confront Dardan.

Dardan, with a sinister smile, holds a knife to Haru's throat, forcing Kan to comply with his demands. Kan, in anguish, takes the knife and cuts his own hand, letting his blood drip into a golden goblet. Dardan drinks the blood, proclaiming it the 'blood of Balg,' and his eyes glow with newfound power.

Dardan immediately betrays Kan, violently kicking and stomping on him, accusing Kan of loving Haru. As Kan lies defeated and broken, a voice echoes 'Lycanthrope,' and his amulet glows. He experiences a brief vision of transforming into a white wolf, hearing the wolf god tell him he inherits the 'blood of Balg' and can use this power to protect the princess.

Filled with despair and a newfound understanding of his power, Kan embraces the voice of the wolf god. He transforms into a magnificent white wolf, his eyes glowing blue. He lunges at Dardan, who attempts to counter, but is surprised by the ferocity of Kan's attack. The other wolves, freed from their cages, gather in support.

Despite Kan's fierce attack as the white wolf, Dardan retaliates with a potent energy burst, knocking Kan down. As Kan lies defeated, his friends arrive, fueled by rage and determination, and launch themselves at Dardan. However, Dardan effortlessly dispatches them, leaving them unconscious and glowing with strange green marks.

Lying defeated, Kan once again hears the wolf god's voice, embracing his destiny as the heir to Balg's blood. He transforms completely, his white wolf form radiating blue light and power. He overwhelms Dardan, biting him repeatedly, leaving him wounded and helpless. Dardan collapses, his hand reaching out towards Haru in a final, despairing gesture.

The white wolf gazes at the unconscious Dardan before transforming back into Kan, now clad in simple white and dark clothes. Kan kneels beside Haru, gently stroking her face, his expression a mix of tenderness and profound sadness. Tears stream down his face as he leans in to press his forehead to hers, a silent, heartbroken promise hanging in the air.
