*** Keep in mind that Einon was young and healthy; even if it would be possible for Draco to eventually outlive him, he very likely wouldn't have wanted to endure living with his heart bonded to Einon's for however long it took Einon to die of old age.

*** Of course, considering what he became and how all we know of his past is from his own warped perspective, Griffin may have been prejudiced against humans already and "exiled" accordingly.

''Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire'' is a Medieval {{Fantasy}} {{Adventure}} film by Creator/UniversalPictures, released direct-to-video and on Netflix in June 2017. Directed by Creator/PatrikSyversen and written by Creator/MatthewFeitshans, ''Dragonheart 4'' is the sequel to ''Dragonheart3TheSorcerersCurse'', set decades later and featuring an older Drago voiced by Creator/PatrickStewart.
After Gareth (Creator/ValeriuBazu), king of Britannia, passes away, his estranged twin grandchildren, Edric (Creator/TomRhysHarries) and Mehgan (Creator/JessamineBlissBell), fight each other for the throne using their inherited dragon strength and fire powers. When Vikings from Daneland, led by Thorgrim (Creator/AndreEriksen), steal the Heartfire -- Drago's source of power -- and challenge the siblings' rights to the throne, Edric and Mehgan must set aside their sibling rivalry, or the kingdom may fall.
----
!! ''Dragonheart: Battle for the Heartfire'' contains the following tropes:
* AccidentalMurder: Edric explains to Drago that Mehgan's flames got out of control and set the house ablaze when she was mad at her father, and he died in the fire. [[spoiler: Later, Mehgan reveals that she set the house on fire only to hide the fact that ''Edric'' accidentally killed their father when he pushed him onto a sharp spike without realizing it during an argument and stormed out of the house.]]
* ActionGirl: Mehgan. In her very first in-person appearance, she led an army of Vikings into battle.
* AllThereInTheManual: The official Facebook page [[https://www.facebook.com/DragonheartMovie/posts/1628147440529018 revealed]] the names of the dragons Drago raised, as they appear on the castle murals: Draco, Siveth, Kinabalux, Basilor, Tatsu, and Vipero.
* ArrangedMarriage: Mehgan "un-arranges" one for a young woman.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Drago dies and becomes a star in the Draco constellation]].
* BadassBoast:
-->'''Mehgan:''' Just remember that when we set sail, I needed an army -- and that now, I ''am'' one.
* BigDamnHeroes: Drago shows up at the perfect moment to save Edric, and later both of the twins, and then later on, [[spoiler:the women that Mehgan trained to fight earlier show up to save her.]]
* BittersweetEnding: Even though Drago [[spoiler:has the chance to save himself with the Heartfire, he sacrifices himself so that Edric can use the Heartfire to save Mehgan, thus keeping their family together, earning himself a place in the Dragons' Heaven.]]
* BloodFromTheMouth: Edric spits blood out of his mouth almost casually in his first appearance.
* BreathWeapon
* BrokenBird: Mehgan, to an extent. Having to grow up wearing a hood to hide the dragon scales on her face and having the ability to control fire, Mehgan was constantly accused of being an evil witch and put down by her father.
* ChekhovsGunman: The actor who appeals to Edric in court later turns up to sneak him and Drago back into the castle.
* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: After Drago rescues him from a Norse slaver's ship, Edric ponders the idea that things could have been different if he trusted Drago in the beginning, especially since his sister and supposed "friend," [[FairWeatherFriend Earl Robert Cole]], were responsible for his predicament.
* DeathByChildbirth: Edric and Mehgan's mother at the beginning of the film.
* {{Depower}}: Happens twice: [[spoiler:to Drago when Mehgan steals his Heartfire, and to both Mehgan and Edric at the end of the film.]]
* DisappearsIntoLight: At the end of the film, [[spoiler:as Drago dies, his body fades into balls of starlight and ascends to the heavens.]]
* DoesntTrustThoseGuys: Edric and Mehgan were raised by their father never to trust dragons. Both siblings would eventually [[SubvertedTrope learn to trust Drago]] throughout the film's story.
* DraconicHumanoid: Edric and Mehgan, due to their inherited dragonheart: they both have patches of scales on their bodies, and one has SuperStrength while the other has [[PlayingWithFire power over fire]].
* HeirClubForMen: Mehgan assumes that Edric refuses to give up the throne to her because she's a woman.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Drago gives up his Heartfire, knowing that he'll die without it so that Edric can save Mehgan's life, earning him his place in the stars.]]
* HiddenBackupPrince: Edric and Mehgan.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Mehgan, when growing up.
* {{Interquel}}: Takes place around 70 years after ''The Sorcerer's Curse'' and many years before the first film.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:By the film's end, [[FairWeatherFriend Earl Robert]] and [[EvilFormerFriend Sable]] remain unpunished for betraying Edric and Mehgan, respectively. However, Edric will likely confiscate the Earl's lands and property for his betrayal while Sable would have to live with the fact that betraying Mehgan for Thorgrim has [[AllForNothing left her with nothing in the end]].]]
* KingIncognito: After Prince Walter runs away from home after [[spoiler:his mother's death]], he goes on to live as a commoner.
* KingOnHisDeathbed: The situation at the movie's start and the cause of the central conflict: King Gareth is dying.
* LineageComesFromTheFather: Edric and Mehgan are royalty through their father, Prince Walter.
* MacGuffinMelee: The fight for the amulet containing the Heartfire.
* MightMakesRight: Mehgan fights with Edric over the throne because she is the elder twin and thus the rightful heir.
* MissingMom: When her son Walter was a child, [[spoiler:Queen Rhonu tragically died when the dragon she became bonded with at the end of ''The Sorcerer's Curse'' was struck by lightning and killed.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: Drago claims word-for-word that the rift in Gareth's family is his.

* RagsToRoyalty: Edric and Mehgan.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: Edric and Mehgan grew up as villagers before eventually learning of their royal heritage.
* RecessiveSuperGenes: Despite having "dragonhearted" parents, Prince Walter didn't inherit any special abilities but his children, Mehgan and Edric, did.
* RefusalOfTheCall: Blaming dragons for his [[ParentalNeglect father's neglect]] [[spoiler:and his mother's death]], Prince Walter [[RichesToRags abandons his royal heritage and chooses to live the life of a simple woodsman]] with his children Edric and Mehgan, to whom Walter passed on his contempt for dragons. When both children were born with scales and later manifested dragon-related abilities (super-strength for Edric, pyrokinesis for Mehgan), [[IJustWantToBeNormal Walter only saw such as a curse]], resulting in him pressing his children, especially Mehgan, even harder to be regular people. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Walter's life choices would bring much hardship to Edric, Mehgan, and the kingdom of Brittania.]]
* ScreamingBirth: The film starts with one as Edric and Mehgan are born.
* SelflessWish: Drago blames himself for King Gareth's family being fractured, and Drago fears he will be refused entry into the Dragons' Heaven as a result. When Walter's children, Edric and Mehgan, are discovered, Drago takes it upon himself to heal the rift between them and their family. [[spoiler:This act is what earns him a place in the stars.]]
* SeriesContinuityError: Assuming that the Draco in the mural is the one in the original ''Dragonheart'' movie, he shouldn't have his name yet, since Bowen gave it to him.
** The story begins with Drago assuming that he'll die with the king; the only reason he doesn't is that his bond somehow passed onto Edric and Meghan. It's the exact opposite of how it worked in the 1996 movie, where the human seemingly can't die as long as the dragon is alive.
* SiblingRivalry: Between Edric and Mehgan, as they engage in combat over which one of them should have the throne.
* SpontaneousHumanCombustion: [[spoiler:During the film's final battle, Thorgrim foolishly attempts to [[DeadlyUpgrade gain the Heartfire's power by swallowing it]]. He is killed seconds later as the Heartfire immolates him from within.]]
* TheStarscream: Thorgrim, Mehgan's [[TheDragon lieutenant]], is more interested in plundering Brittania for all its worth and moving on. Frustrated with Mehgan's decision to become queen, he has Sable steal the Heartfire, and he takes over the leadership of the Norse invaders, effectively becoming the film's BigBad.
* SuccessionCrisis: After King Gareth's death and his son's disappearance, his twin grandchildren fight for the throne.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Edric and Mehgan have respectively inherited enhanced strength and pyrokinesis from their grandparents, King Gareth and Queen Rhonu.
* SuperStrength: Edric's unique ability from the dragonheart.
* {{Synchronization}}: This occurs due to the dragonheart, but unusually since it's inherited and split by twins: Drago is bonded to Edric emotionally and to Mehgan physically.
* UngratefulBastard: Mehgan is angry, rather than thankful when [[spoiler:Edric saves her from being killed in her sleep by Sable.]]
* UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn: Edric and Mehgan.
* WardrobeWound: When Mehgan sends fire at him, Edric doesn't seem to notice his burn wounds, only looking down and saying, "My shirt!"
* WithMyHandsTied: Edric challenges Thorgrim to a fight this way, tying one hand behind his back.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Edric, at least until now.

* SpontaneousHumanCombustion: [[spoiler:During the film's final battle, Thorgrim foolishly attempts to [[DeadlyUpgrade gain the Heartfire's power by swallowing it]]. He is killed seconds later as the Heartfire immolates him from within.]]
* TheStarscream: Thorgrim, Mehgan's [[TheDragon lieutenant]], is more interested in plundering Brittania for all its worth and moving on. Frustrated with Mehgan's decision to become queen, he has Sable steal the Heartfire, and he takes over the leadership of the Norse invaders, effectively becoming the film's BigBad.
* SuccessionCrisis: After King Gareth's death and his son's disappearance, his twin grandchildren fight for the throne.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Edric and Mehgan have respectively inherited enhanced strength and pyrokinesis from their grandparents, King Gareth and Queen Rhonu.
* SuperStrength: Edric's unique ability from the dragonheart.
* {{Synchronization}}: This occurs due to the dragonheart, but unusually since it's inherited and split by twins: Drago is bonded to Edric emotionally and to Mehgan physically.
* UngratefulBastard: Mehgan is angry, rather than thankful when [[spoiler:Edric saves her from being killed in her sleep by Sable.]]
* UntoUsASonAndDaughterAreBorn: Edric and Mehgan.
* WardrobeWound: When Mehgan sends fire at him, Edric doesn't seem to notice his burn wounds, only looking down and saying, "My shirt!"
* WithMyHandsTied: Edric challenges Thorgrim to a fight this way, tying one hand behind his back.
* WouldntHitAGirl: Edric, at least until now.
-->'''Edric:''' Do you know what, I've never said this, but I really wish you had been a brother.
-->'''Mehgan:''' Why's that, Eddy?
-->'''Edric:''' Because I would have done this much sooner. ''(punches her)''
