[00:00] Silat
    We will now continue our
    search for the hawk.
[00:16] Sonia
    That's...
[00:34] Silat
    The Hawk of Light!
[00:36] Silat
    Impossible!
[00:37] Silat
    Why is it here?
[00:42] General
    What the...
[00:43] General
    Who do you—
[00:45] General
    Huh?
[00:58] Sub
    My lord!
[01:00] Sub
    Don't just stand there, idiots!
[01:03] Sub
    Kill him!
[01:04] Sub
    Fire!
[01:05] Silat
    Wait!
[01:13] Army
    None of them hit him...
[01:17] Army
    He avoided all of them?
[01:18] Army
    But there were so many!
[01:23] Sub
    Idiots! Quit gawking!
[01:26] Sub
    Fire another volley!
[01:30] Sub
    What the...
SIGN    Banner of the Flying Sword
[03:09] Sub
    Are you one of his men?
[03:11] Sub
    Kill him, too!
[03:19] Army
    Who's that warrior?
[03:20] Army
    He's a monster!
[03:22] Sub
    Stand your ground... They are only two!
[03:24] Sub
    Hurry and kill that one!
[03:37] Locus
    My enemies, your pardon
    for being on horseback.
[03:40] Locus
    My name is Locus.
[03:42] Locus
    Divine revelation has
    led me to this land.
[03:46] Locus
    I believe you are the Hawk of Light.
[03:48] Locus
    Am I correct?
[03:49] Gr
    Sir Locus, the Moonlight Knight.
[03:51] Gr
    I accept your sword.
[03:53] Locus
    A great honor!
[03:56] Women
    The Hawk of Light...
[03:57] Women
    The Hawk... It isn't possible.
[04:00] Women
    I heard he died.
[04:01] Women
    No, I saw his face at the
    Windham victory parade.
[04:05] Women
    There's no mistaking it.
[04:08] Women
    He is Midland's true guardian deity.
[04:15] Sonia
    It's him!
[04:19] Sonia
    That is him!
[04:21] Army
    Hey, you!
[04:22] Woman
    Hey, watch out!
[04:24] Sonia
    Griffith!
[04:27] Sonia
    The wind whispered to me.
[04:30] Sonia
    That now is when the world
    begins to change.
[04:36] Sub
    Stop them!
[04:37] Sub
    Stop those two!
[04:39] Tapasa
    My lord.
[04:40] Silat
    Wait.
[04:41] Silat
    There is no advantage to be had
    by currying favor with this lot.
[04:45] Silat
    Instead, let us use the chaos
    and capture the hawk.
[04:50] Sonia
    He is so beautiful.
[04:53] Sonia
    Almost as if he isn't human.
[05:00] Sonia
    Watch out!
[05:06] Tapasa
    Impossible.
[05:08] Tapasa
    We were repelled?
[05:11] Rakshas
    Slow. Dull of edge.
[05:15] Rakshas
    These are Tapasa, the best of
    the Bakiraka? How pitiful.
[05:20] Tapasa
    That mask!
[05:21] Tapasa
    You're Raksas!
[05:23] Silat
    Why is the clan's exile here?
[05:25] Rakshas
    I was given a prophecy.
[05:27] Rakshas
    So you are the Hawk of Light.
[05:32] Rakshas
    You're beautiful.
[05:37] Rakshas
    Someday, I will cut off your
    head and make it mine.
[05:47] Rakshas
    Until then, I will let no one harm you.
[05:52] Rakshas
    It's playtime.
[06:04] Guard
    Shut the castle gates!
[06:05] Guard
    Close off their escape route!
[06:13] Guard
    A giant?
[06:15] Guard
    Naga?
[06:16] Guard
    Stand your ground. There is but one foe.
[06:18] Guard
    To arms!
[06:34] Guard
    I have a message!
[06:35] Guard
    All men, to arms!
[06:39] Guard
    What the...
[06:41] Guard
    Who are you?
[06:51] Sonia
    What a nauseating stench...
[06:55] Sonia
    My mind's numb from the
    overwhelming scent of blood.
[07:01] Sonia
    Everything is dyed red.
[07:05] Sonia
    Everything is stained red,
[07:07] Sonia
    red as the setting sun casts
    its rays on the blood...
[07:11] Sonia
    The sight should be gruesome, and yet...
[07:14] Sonia
    And yet it was like a painting,
    beautiful beyond compare.
[07:24] Sonia
    Without a doubt, we were all in
    a tale beyond comprehension.
[07:48] F
    Please let us accompany
    you on your journey.
[07:52] F
    Come, you kneel, too.
[07:56] G
    What do you want?
[07:57] I
    This is fishy as hell!
[07:58] I
    What's with the complete about-face?
[08:01] I
    The first chance they get,
    I bet they'll tie us up!
[08:03] F
    I have already secularized myself...
[08:06] F
    I am no longer with the Order.
[08:07] I
    We can't trust you!
    You're a bloody aristocrat!
[08:10] F
    I want to know the truth
[08:13] ---
    that transcends the ordered
    system to which I clung.
[08:16] F
    And I want to learn
[08:18] ---
    how to survive in the darkness,
    where order's light does not reach.
[08:23] F
    To learn from you.
[08:29] F
    Please guide us.
[08:34] I
    You can use big words to talk in
    circles, but I won't be duped!
[08:38] P
    Yeah, not gonna be duped.
[08:38] I
    How are you gonna make up
    for what you did to Casca?
[08:43] P
    How you gonna make it up?
[08:44] I
    She was almost burned alive!
[08:46] I
    If you say enemies can
    become friends overnight,
[08:49] I
    maybe you should throw yourself
    on the ground and apologize, eh?
[08:52] I
    Can you manage that, you smug noble?
[08:55] I
    Oh, yeah? You wanna fight?
[08:57] I
    B-Bring it!
[09:07] F
    This is all I can do now.
[09:10] F
    I swear I shall make amends.
[09:15] P
    Say any more, and you'll be the villain.
[09:18] G
    Why are priests and nobles
    so over the top?
[09:23] G
    Do what you want.
[09:25] F
    Th-Then...
[09:26] I
    Well, that was quick.
[09:29] G
    I don't need you to make
    amends or apologies.
[09:31] G
    I killed your guys, too.
    It goes both ways.
[09:36] G
    But no thanks to being your guide.
[09:38] G
    Not my thing.
[09:40] G
    I don't know what you want to
    learn, but do what you like.
[09:43] G
    Stay out of my way,
    and I won't interfere.
[09:46] F
    We are grateful.
[09:48] G
    No need for that yet.
[09:50] G
    Coming with us means you won't
    be able to sleep at night.
[09:55] I
    Oh?
[09:55] I
    So we'll run into more ghosts
    and monsters and stuff?
[09:58] I
    J-Just what I want!
[10:01] P
    Something's weird.
[10:02] P
    Why would Guts let people he
    doesn't know into his circle?
[10:10] G
    If it were just me...
[10:12] G
    If I were my usual self, I'd have
    turned them down in a second.
[10:18] G
    But this time, I'm in a bind.
[10:20] P
    Go and gather firewood.
[10:21] G
    It's the first time
[10:23] ---
    I find myself counting on
    people I don't know.
[10:24] P
    Don't let the fire go out tonight.
[10:25] I
    Why do you get to order us around?
[10:28] G
    I am horrified by my own malice.
[10:33] G
    I feel crushed by powerlessness.
[10:41] G
    When was the last time she smiled?
[10:58] Mule
    I'm not doing this for the royal house
[11:00] Mule
    or to uphold my honor!
[11:03] Mule
    It's to
[11:04] ---
    save my people!
[11:08] Mule
    Stand your ground!
[11:09] Mule
    Follow me!
[11:14] Mule
    What the...
[11:15] Mule
    A Midland hostage?
[11:19] General
    Fire at will!
[11:21] General
    Fire!
[11:26] Mule
    They're firing volleys right
    through their own men!
[11:30] General
    Cavalry, charge!
[11:31] General
    Annihilate them!
[11:34] Mule
    Is this the end?
[11:37] Sonia
    Watch out!
[11:43] Mule
    What?
[11:52] Mule
    Reinforcements?
[11:54] Enemy
    New forces on the right flank!
[12:03] Enemy
    On the left flank, too!
[12:09] General
    Wh-Who are they?
[12:21] General
    That's...
[12:22] General
    That banner!
[12:39] Sonia
    There...
[12:43] Sonia
    A spot of emptiness.
[12:45] Sonia
    And along its path, the center
    of the enemy focus!
[12:52] Sonia
    Lord Griffith!
[12:58] Enemy
    H-He's flying!
[13:37] Mule
    Unbelievable.
[13:38] Mule
    Is this really a battlefield?
[13:41] Mule
    Look at their peaceful smiles.
[13:43] Mule
    They hardly look like people
    devastated by a foreign army.
[13:47] Sonia
    It's because of Lord Griffith.
[13:50] Mule
    Griffith... You mean that white hawk?
[13:53] Sonia
    We can smile because
    Lord Griffith is with us.
[13:58] Mule
    Did this girl just read my mind?
[14:03] Sonia
    Welcome to the Band of the Hawk.
[14:11] Mule
    These men have such high morale!
[14:16] Mule
    Kushans!
[14:17] Mule
    Are they Kushan men?
[14:18] Sonia
    That's right.
[14:19] Mule
    Wait a minute...
[14:20] Mule
    What's going on? Why are
    our foes helping us?
[14:23] Sonia
    Could you please stop yelling?
[14:25] Locus
    They defected.
[14:28] Mule
    Wh-What?
[14:29] Mule
    What an intimidating man...
[14:32] Locus
    It is our code.
[14:34] Locus
    Prisoners must stand on the
    front lines three times.
[14:38] Locus
    Those who survive the arrows
    choose defection or death.
[14:43] Locus
    Those who choose to be allies will
    not suffer discrimination
[14:46] Locus
    and may rise through our ranks.
[14:49] Locus
    Depending on circumstance,
    they may even lead others.
[14:51] Mule
    That's ridiculous!
[14:53] Mule
    How can you trust former
    foes to lead other men?
[14:55] Locus
    Even the Kushan Empire
    is not a monolith.
[14:58] Locus
    It is governed by a ruling clan that
    subjugated various others.
[15:04] Locus
    Many clans still nurse grudges.
[15:07] Mule
    But still...
[15:09] Mule
    What of us Midlanders?
[15:12] Mule
    The suffering of people who lost
    homes, cities, and families?
[15:18] Locus
    Though both sides may harbor hatred,
    we are ultimately all human beings.
[15:23] Locus
    Should you choose to stay,
[15:24] Locus
    you will learn that former foes are
    more similar than you realize.
[15:29] Mule
    Who was that knight?
[15:32] Sonia
    Sir Locus.
[15:33] Sonia
    He's in charge of training new recruits.
[15:36] Mule
    Locus!
[15:37] Mule
    You mean Sir Locus,
    the Moonlight Knight?
[15:40] Sonia
    I thought that might surprise you.
[15:42] Sonia
    All the nobles are.
[15:45] Mule
    He's won countless accolades in combat.
[15:47] Mule
    While being undefeated in duels,
    he has never chosen a master.
[15:52] Mule
    Instead, he's remained a free man,
    the strongest warrior alive.
[15:55] Mule
    Why is such
[15:58] Mule
    a living legend here?
[16:02] Sonia
    There are things that will probably
    surprise you even more.
[16:06] Sonia
    As Sir Locus said, you'll be surprised
    by more than Kushan defectors.
[16:11] Sonia
    This is a shortcut.
[16:13] Sonia
    Hup.
[16:18] Mule
    What is the ominous presence
    in this forest?
[16:23] Mule
    Beasts...
[16:24] Mule
    A pack of wolves?
[16:26] Mule
    Hey, wai—
[16:37] Sonia
    You didn't notice them?
[16:39] Sonia
    They were working hard during
    the fight earlier, too.
[16:41] Sonia
    We call them the demon army.
[16:44] Mule
    The demon army!
[16:49] Sonia
    They're better now, though they
    may not look it.
[16:52] Sonia
    Before, they'd sometimes
    eat our Kushan prisoners.
[16:58] Demon
    G-Girl, you've come alone again?
[17:04] Sonia
    Just let me go, will you? Perv.
[17:05] Mule
    Hey, let go of—
[17:07] Mule
    Whoa!
[17:08] Demon
    I-It'd be great to eat human flesh again!
[17:11] Sonia
    I'll tell Lord Griffith.
[17:15] Demon
    N-Not that!
[17:21] Demon
    G-Grunbeld...
[17:30] Gru
    They are our master's valued guests.
[17:33] Gru
    Harm them, and you
    will answer to me.
[17:36] Demon
    J-Just kidding!
[17:37] Demon
    I was just joking around...
[17:39] M
    Grunbeld... I know that name!
[17:42] M
    The mighty warrior who defended
    a small northern kingdom
[17:45] M
    from the massive Chuder invasion
[17:48] ---
    for a decade, with a mere
    force of three thousand.
[17:52] M
    The great fire dragon.
[17:54] M
    They say he fell in battle, but...
[17:57] Gru
    Lady Sonia, you are too reckless.
[17:59] Gru
    Though you are our seer,
[18:01] Gru
    you should not walk here
    without a guard.
[18:05] Gru
    Next time, please speak to me first.
[18:09] Sonia
    Okay.
[18:12] Mule
    The seer for the Hawks?
[18:15] Mule
    Who are these people?
[18:18] Sonia
    I don't really know a whole lot.
[18:22] Mule
    A mysterious army of inhuman beings.
[18:24] Mule
    Heroes whose names are known
    throughout the world.
[18:27] Mule
    Where am I?
[18:34] Sonia
    I've brought Lord Griffith's guest.
[18:45] Mule
    What is that?
[18:47] Sonia
    People who died in battle today.
[18:51] Sonia
    After the battle ends, they gather
    like this at sundown.
[18:58] Mule
    Souls? Of the dead?
[19:02] Sonia
    So beautiful...
[19:08] Mule
    And who are they?
[19:10] Sonia
    The family and loved ones of the dead.
[19:12] Sonia
    They're here to say farewell.
[19:15] Kid
    Hey, where's Dad?
[19:22] Kid
    Dad!
[19:23] Mom
    Dear!
[19:28] Ghost
    Take care.
[19:30] Mom
    My dear...
[19:47] Sonia
    It's over.
[19:49] Sonia
    Lord Griffith!
[19:52] Gr
    Good work earlier today, Sonia.
[19:56] Sonia
    It was nothing.
[19:57] Sonia
    I think I'm more powerful when
    I'm with you, Lord Griffith.
[20:05] Mule
    So this man is the white hawk...
[20:09] Mule
    That group of lights...
    Where is it going?
[20:15] Gr
    To where they can be one.
[20:18] Mule
    Where they can be one?
    Where is that?
[20:21] Mule
    Heaven? Or...
[20:23] Gr
    Eventually, you will know.
[20:25] Gr
    Everyone does when their time comes.
[20:28] Gr
    We have yet to meet
    formally, Lord Mule.
[20:31] Gr
    I am Griffith, leader of
    the Band of the Hawk.
[20:37] Mule
    F-Forgive my belated introduction!
[20:39] Mule
    I am Mule Wolflame.
[20:42] Mule
    Youngest son of Valagar
    Wolflame, lord of Lumias.
[20:46] Mule
    I have no words to express
    my deep gratitude
[20:49] Mule
    for the salvation of my people
    in the earlier battle!
[20:55] Gr
    I, as well, must offer my gratitude.
[20:58] Gr
    The food you have provided
    will allow my troops
[21:01] ---
    to fight for many more months.
[21:03] Mule
    Y-You are too kind.
[21:07] Mule
    What is this?
[21:08] Mule
    What is this powerful emotion
    I feel welling up from within?
[21:13] Mule
    It surges... forth.
[21:22] Mule
    Please accept my sword.
[21:27] Mule
    Please.
[21:29] Mule
    What am I doing?
[21:32] Mule
    I only just met this man and
    exchanged a few words.
[21:37] Mule
    And yet, I hear a voice from the
    deepest reaches of my being...
[21:42] Sonia
    Lord Griffith?
[21:45] Mule
    A powerful voice... I cannot ignore!
[21:50] Mule
    It says this is my destiny.
[23:27] P
    They're coming, Isidoro!
[23:28] I
    I know!
[23:30] Ser
    Lady Farnese, please keep
    the fire going!
[23:33] F
    I... I am ready!
[23:35] F
    No, Casca!
[23:37] F
    You cannot wander around!
[23:40] G
    Here they come!
[23:45] I
    Come at me, you ghouls!
