[00:03] BELLE
Why...?
[00:10] SIAN
This is my final responsibility
as your Enola.
[00:14] SIAN
What're you waiting for, Belle?!
[00:18] BELLE
Why?!
SIGN Bye Bye,
SIGN Bye Bye,
Earth
SIGN Lake Chaser
[00:36] MERCHANT
What's all the fuss about?
[00:39] MERCHANT
There's no festival, and they're
not trying a criminal either.
[00:45] FIREFLY A
See, the river rose and a seed
from the sea washed in.
[00:51] MERCHANT
Oh yeah?
[00:52] FIREFLY B
Now it's bloomin' in the lake
and spreadin' poison everywhere.
[00:56] MERCHANT
A fish flower is poisoning the lake?
[00:58] FIREFLY C
With salt. Salt water.
[00:59] FIREFLY C
Must be tryin' to convert the fresh water.
[01:03] FIREFLY B
Just look at the young bulls.
[01:05] FIREFLY B
It already got one of 'em.
[01:08] FIREFLY A
So the mice decided to ask a nomad for help.
[01:13] MERCHANTS
A nomad, eh? Then your worries are over!
SIGN Nomad
One who travels
[01:16] FIREFLY A
Except the nomad's got this girl
who lives with him, and he sent her.
[01:22] MERCHANT
A girl?
[01:23] FIREFLY B
I hear strange rumors about her.
[01:26] FIREFLY B
They say she got herself kicked out
of Park City for stirrin' up trouble.
[01:32] FIREFLY B
And that's not all.
No one can take their eyes off her.
[01:36] FIREFLY B
After all...
[01:38] CROWD
Never seen that before.
[01:39] CROWD
Where's she from?
[01:40] BELLE
Looks like a full house.
[01:42] CROWD
What is that?
[01:42] CROWD
Gives me the creeps.
[01:43] CROWD
No ears, no horns...
[01:45] CROWD
What is she?
[01:46] CROWD
I've never heard of such a tribe.
[01:48] CROWD
She doesn't have a hair on her body!
[01:51] CROWD
She doesn't have anything.
[01:52] CROWD
What a weirdo.
[01:53] MERCHANT
She's featureless...
[01:56] BELLE
The same old thing, huh?
[01:59] CROWD
What a strange species.
[02:01] CROWD
Where did she come from?
[02:02] BELLE
One day...
[02:04] BELLE
Belle Lablac! That's my name.
[02:07] BELLE
I'm here on orders
from my master, Sian Lablac.
[02:12] JA
Thank you for coming, Lady Belle.
[02:15] JA
I am the arbiter of Weather Wheel Tower.
[02:19] BELLE
Nice to meet you.
[02:21] BELLE
So, where's my opponent?
[02:23] JA
Over there.
[02:25] JA
Its many arms are thicker than tree trunks.
[02:27] JA
Its bright red body deflects
swords and spears.
[02:31] JA
Its mouth breathes inky poison.
[02:34] BELLE
My master said it was probably a negroni.
[02:38] BELLE
Granted, I won't know
for sure till I see it for myself.
[02:43] JA
So you'll slay it?
[02:44] BELLE
Flower flesh is my favorite food.
I don't care what kind.
[02:50] BELLE
Relax. I promise I'll take it down.
[02:54] CROWD
How beastly...
[02:56] BELLE
Tch. So I'm a barbarian just
'cause I only eat grass and fruit?
[03:05] JA
What are you doing?
[03:07] BELLE
Making myself lighter.
[03:09] CROWD
I don't believe it!
[03:11] CROWD
She's totally featureless!
[03:48] BELLE
Move it. Coming through.
[03:51] BELLE
The water's still cold.
[03:56] BELLE
It's a negroni all right.
[03:59] BELLE
Though it's awfully big for one.
[04:04] BELLE
You're up, partner.
[04:33] BELLE
Sing, Runding!
[05:19] CROWD
Run!
[05:45] BELLE
I smell salt water.
[05:53] BELLE
Crap!
[05:54] CROWD
Salt water!
[05:55] CROWD
Oh no!
[05:55] CROWD
Save the food!
[05:56] CROWD
This is so bad!
[05:57] CROWD
Get it out of here!
[05:58] CROWD
It'll all be ruined!
[05:58] CROWD
What a disaster!
[05:59] BELLE
If this keeps up...
[06:09] BELLE
Hey, why did you come here?
[06:14] BELLE
Don't you have a home?
[06:25] NEGRONI
Want go home... The sea...
[06:28] BELLE
Why don't you?
[06:31] NEGRONI
Can't get back now...
[06:34] NEGRONI
Die here...
[06:37] NEGRONI
Spread seeds...
[06:44] BELLE
Sorry.
[07:24] JA
Th-Thank you so much!
[07:27] JA
We'll deliver your reward
to your house later.
[07:32] BELLE
Mind if I take this seed and that arm?
[07:37] JA
What do you want them for?
[07:40] BELLE
Like I said, flower flesh is my favorite.
[07:46] CROWD
I don't believe it...
[07:48] CROWD
How beastly.
[08:05] BELLE
They'll probably smash every last seed.
[08:16] BELLE
If I ever have to fight on that side,
[08:22] BELLE
then...
[08:41] BELLE
I'm home, Master.
[08:44] SIAN
Good work.
[08:47] BELLE
Sian...
[08:54] BELLE
Why does he bother doing that?
[08:56] BELLE
He could just use magic.
[08:58] BELLE
Same goes for that tussle today.
[09:00] BELLE
I didn't have to do it.
Sian would've done a better job.
[09:07] BELLE
There we are.
[09:13] SIAN
What is that?
[09:14] BELLE
Spoils of war!
[09:16] SIAN
Well struck. You cleaved it cleanly.
[09:21] SIAN
But you could still bring out a sharper edge.
[09:24] BELLE
I wanted to see what this thing could do.
[09:26] SIAN
Learn to unleash your sword's
best in a single strike.
[09:29] SIAN
Now then, what will you do with this?
[09:31] BELLE
Eat it, just like any other fish flower.
[09:35] SIAN
I suppose eating is the best way
to mourn the dead.
[09:42] SIAN
There's more to negronis than their flesh.
Their leather is tough, too.
[09:46] BELLE
Maybe I'll try making shoes, then.
[09:51] BELLE
There you go again.
[09:55] SIAN
Delicious.
[09:56] BELLE
You're ruining it.
[09:58] SIAN
It's called being a connoisseur.
[10:00] BELLE
If you care that much about flavor,
why don't you cook for yourself?
[10:04] BELLE
Come on, that was a joke!
[10:08] SIAN
Delicious.
[10:12] BELLE
Hey, Master.
[10:13] BELLE
Why do you think this negroni left the sea?
[10:17] SIAN
Who knows? Perhaps it grew
unhappy with life there.
[10:20] BELLE
It wanted to go back.
[10:23] SIAN
It was trying to do its duty as a flower.
[10:27] SIAN
The duty of one who spreads seeds.
[10:30] BELLE
Duty?
[10:31] SIAN
Flowers aren't alone.
[10:33] SIAN
Everything in this world tries
to intermingle with everything else.
[11:12] BELLE
They were all afraid of me.
[11:16] BELLE
You'd have done a better job
if you'd gone instead.
[11:19] SIAN
What could I teach a fish?
[11:23] BELLE
You're so narrow-minded. Why won't you use
your skills for anything but teaching?
[11:28] SIAN
That is my role as an Enola.
SIGN Enola
An instructor
[11:32] BELLE
We won't be able to stay here long either.
[11:35] SIAN
Shall we go ahead and move, then?
[11:38] SIAN
There are still plenty of places
in this country you haven't seen.
[11:43] BELLE
Will we find people like me there?
[11:46] SIAN
No.
[11:48] SIAN
I've never met anyone like you
on my previous visits.
[11:54] BELLE
If we keep going on like this,
[11:56] BELLE
the Army of Insatiable Emptiness
will take me sooner or later.
SIGN Army of Insatiable Emptiness
[11:59] SIAN
Do not speak of them.
You have no idea what they're like.
[12:03] BELLE
I know what you've taught me.
[12:06] BELLE
They're people who can't enjoy
the world anymore, right?
[12:09] BELLE
I'll be done for if they ever
catch me. I'm sure of it.
[12:14] BELLE
Where can I go to meet people like me?
[12:19] BELLE
I want to intermingle with the world too.
[12:22] BELLE
Living like this hurts.
[12:25] SIAN
I'd call that feeling inside you homesickness.
[12:30] BELLE
Homesickness? What's that?
[12:33] SIAN
Well...
[12:35] SIAN
It can be love of your hometown,
longing for utopia,
[12:39] SIAN
or the painful inability to love
yourself and where you are.
[12:46] BELLE
Then teach me how to cure my homesickness.
[12:50] BELLE
I don't have a home.
[12:53] SIAN
In that case, why not go on a journey?
[13:01] SIAN
Listen to me, Belle.
SIGN Schwert Land
Country of Swords
[13:03] SIAN
There isn't a soul like you in Schwert Land.
[13:07] SIAN
But if you journey forth
and travel the world,
[13:11] SIAN
you may be able to find
a world that's truly yours.
SIGN Park City
[13:15] SIAN
Go to Park City and undergo
the trials to become a nomad.
[13:20] SIAN
I know you can do it.
[13:23] SIAN
After all, you are my student.
[13:39] BELLE
Where did that come from?
[13:43] (Flashback) SIAN
Traveling means putting your
entire being on the line.
[13:47] (Flashback) SIAN
No one can help you.
[13:50] (Flashback) SIAN
I may be your Enola, but I cannot become you,
[13:54] (Flashback) SIAN
just like you cannot become me.
[13:58] BELLE
I know. Our life together has to end someday,
[14:03] BELLE
and that will be the beginning...
[14:07] (Flashback) SIAN
It's your decision to make. Don't rush it.
[14:17] BELLE
A world of my own...
[14:25] BELLE
Runding?
[14:37] (Flashback) BEASTS
Who's that girl?
[14:39] (Flashback) BEASTS
They say she was born from a stone.
[14:41] (Flashback) BEASTS
Seriously?
[14:43] (Flashback) BEASTS
She gives me the creeps.
[14:45] (Flashback) BEASTS
She really is awful!
[14:46] BEASTS
She doesn't even have ears or a tail.
[14:48] (Flashback) BEASTS
She's featureless.
[14:49] (Flashback) BEASTS
Featureless!
[14:50] (Flashback) BEASTS
Did you hear someone took her in?
[14:52] BEASTS
There must be something wrong with her.
[14:52] (Flashback) BEASTS
The stonecutter did.
[14:53] (Flashback) BEASTS
Who'd want a kid like her?
[14:54] (Flashback) BEASTS
Beats me.
[14:59] (Flashback) BEASTS
You okay?
[15:00] BEASTS
Why's she so strong?
[15:55] (Flashback) BELLE
I found a friend...
[16:08] (Flashback) GUARD A
Who's there?!
[16:09] (Flashback) GUARD B
Hey, wait!
[16:10] (Flashback) GUARDS
Halt!
[16:11] (Flashback) GUARDS
To arms!
[16:25] RUNDING
Durchbohren Sie die Welt.
[16:28] (Flashback) KIR
You won't escape!
[16:31] RUNDING
Pierce the world!
SIGN Durchbohren Sie die Welt
Pierce the World
[16:50] (Flashback) GAFF
Why did you do this?
[16:53] (Flashback) BELLE
My friend...
[16:54] (Flashback) GAFF
Is it because you wanted that sword?
[17:24] BELLE
Oh, so you understand.
[17:38] JA
Well, if you'll excuse us...
[17:43] BELLE
It's fine.
[17:45] BELLE
I won't blame anyone for my loneliness.
[17:50] SIAN
We won't have to worry
about food for a while.
[17:55] BELLE
We need to talk, Sian.
[17:57] SIAN
What's this about?
[17:59] BELLE
I'm going to undertake
the trials so I can travel.
[18:04] SIAN
I can see you're serious.
[18:06] SIAN
You made up your mind awfully fast.
[18:11] SIAN
Go and get our sword.
[18:17] SIAN
Now then, this will be my last lesson to you.
[18:22] SIAN
You can't become a nomad
unless you take on a curse.
[18:26] SIAN
A curse can take many forms
depending on the life of its bearer.
[18:31] SIAN
This curse is the first trial
on your path to becoming a nomad.
[18:36] SIAN
It will continue to haunt you
as you journey forth.
[18:39] SIAN
In my case, I can't use my power
to do anything except teach.
[18:45] SIAN
Curses are passed down through nomad blood.
[18:49] SIAN
Are you ready?
[19:10] SIAN
What is the goal of your journey, child?
[19:14] SIAN
Sing it loud and clear!
[19:15] BELLE
I... I want to know my roots!
[19:19] BELLE
I want to meet other people like me!
[19:22] BELLE
I want... I want to intermingle
with this world too!
[19:32] SIAN
Trust that this curse will one day
become a blessing and accept it.
[19:39] BELLE
Something's not right.
[19:40] BELLE
Sian, your face looks like...
[19:44] SIAN
Like you've never seen it before?
[19:46] SIAN
That means you're about
to finish your final lesson.
[19:52] BELLE
No, Sian... You're disappearing!
[19:55] SIAN
A graduate no longer needs
memories of her master.
[20:00] SIAN
Only his teachings need live on.
[20:04] SIAN
And that way, you'll never
realize my ulterior motive.
[20:07] BELLE
Your what?
[20:09] SIAN
I'm entrusting it to you so that you'll
visit places I couldn't reach.
[20:15] BELLE
I figured it would be something like this.
[20:18] BELLE
Damn you for toying with my mind!
[20:22] BELLE
Enola, my ass!
[20:23] BELLE
Damn it!
[20:24] SIAN
I'm sorry, Belle.
[20:26] SIAN
Cutting me down will free
you from that pain.
[20:30] BELLE
You're always doing this!
Always trying to make sure no one needs you!
[20:36] SIAN
That is my destiny as one who teaches.
[20:40] BELLE
Why...?
[20:44] (Flashback) SIAN
Your parents won't be coming for you.
[20:48] (Flashback) SIAN
Why? Because from now on,
I shall be your parent.
[20:53] (Flashback) SIAN
Come with me.
[20:55] (Flashback) SIAN
I'll teach you how to use that sword.
[21:00] BELLE
Why?!
[21:02] SIAN
Someday you'll learn the meaning
of "Erehwon," the spell upon your sword.
SIGN Utopia
[21:10] SIAN
The true, long-lost meaning
of the word we know as "utopia."
[21:17] BELLE
I love you, Sian.
[21:20] SIAN
You'll find a better man, my daughter.
[21:35] SIAN
This is my final responsibility
as your Enola.
[21:39] SIAN
What are you waiting for, Belle?!

I appeared from one
of these rocks as a child.
[00:09] BELLE
Stone eggs, huh? I wonder
where they came from.
[00:21] BELLE
Is my homeland in the sky or what?
[00:26] BELLE
That wouldn't be funny.
[00:33] BELLE
But I want to find it...
[00:35] BELLE
I long for a world that will

You're a young Rabbitia, aren't you?
SIGN Rabbitia
[02:57] BELLE
How pretty. Like a little doll.
[03:02] BELLE
Here. Want a drink?
[03:07] BELLE
They say crossing a traveling
Rabbitia is a sign of good luck.
[03:15] BELLE
H-Hey!
[03:20] BELLE
You look ridiculous, you know that?
[03:23] BELLE
Getting mixed up with this
kid seems like a bad idea.
[03:26] BELLE
You can keep the cup. I've got spares.
[03:39] BELLE
What a strange child.
SIGN Park City, Schwert Land
[03:54] CROWD
What is she?
[03:56] CROWD
What an unusual tribe!
SIGN Under West
[04:12] BELLE
This place sure hasn't gotten any quieter.
[04:16] BELLE
Might as well start by filling my stomach.
[04:21] CROWD
What's with her?
[04:22] CROWD
She's a strange one.
[04:23] CROWD
Totally featureless...
[04:28] HAGGIS
You're on the outside here, missy.
[04:32] HAGGIS
Guess looks can be deceiving.
[04:34] HAGGIS
I thought a mermaid from
the castle had wandered in.
[04:38] BELLE
Inside, outside... It's all the same to me.
[04:41] HAGGIS
What?
[04:42] BELLE
Bring me something to eat.
[04:44] BELLE
That and some cold flower tea.
[04:46] HAGGIS
Listen up, country lass.
[04:49] HAGGIS
We live by the Law of Theme in Park City.
SIGN Law of Theme
[04:52] HAGGIS
Everyone here's destined for good
or evil the moment they're born.
[04:59] HAGGIS
Defy that order, and you might wind up dead.
[05:02] BELLE
I get the feeling you're mocking me.
[05:05] BELLE
And don't call me "lass."
[05:07] BELLE
I have a name. It's Belle Lablac.
[05:10] HAGGIS
Well, excuse me, Lablac.
[05:13] HAGGIS
I'm Haggis, owner of the Amaretto.
[05:16] HAGGIS
How much do you know about Schwert Land?
[05:19] BELLE
Just about everything, I reckon.
[05:22] BELLE
Park City's divided between the good
Topdogs and the evil Underdogs,
SIGN Good

effectively the people inside

SIGN Underdogs

[05:32] HAGGIS
Precisely! The Law of Theme wouldn't
hold without that divide.
[05:36] HAGGIS
No one upsets the balance
and gets away with it.
[05:40] HAGGIS
You'd better hurry up and figure
out which side you're on.
[05:46] BELLE
Why bother?
[05:48] BELLE
I'll be leaving the country soon enough.
[05:51] HAGGIS
What? You don't mean...
[05:55] BELLE
I'm gonna become a nomad.
SIGN Nomad
One Who Travels
[05:56] BELLE
That's why I came to Park City.

Don't waste your time.
[06:02] HAGGIS
God will never allow it.
[06:04] BELLE
Huh?
[06:06] HAGGIS
Country folk, I swear...
[06:08] HAGGIS
Listen here, Lablac.
[06:10] HAGGIS
The king up in the castle doesn't
really rule this country.
[06:14] HAGGIS
God does. Got that?
[06:20] HAGGIS
Hey, what's the matter?
[06:21] BELLE
I just remembered. The god's called...
[06:26] BELLE
Deus Ex Machina.
[06:29] HAGGIS
"Deus"... What?
[06:31] BELLE
I don't really understand it myself.
[06:34] BELLE
Just something I heard
from a heartless jerk a long time ago.
[06:38] BELLE
That's right... I killed someone.
[06:43] BELLE
But who? And why?
[06:49] YOUNG MAN A
Damn brat! You've been
nothing but trouble!
[06:52] BELLE
It's that kid!
[06:53] HAGGIS
What're you lot planning
to do with the child?
[06:56] YOUNG MAN B
You're not gonna believe this, Haggis!
[06:59] YOUNG MAN A
The brat vanished into thin air,
gnawed on my sword...
[07:02] YOUNG MAN A
We went through hell to get
the little shit here!
[07:04] BELLE
Evil solists, huh?
[07:06] YOUNG MAN D
But this is our big chance.
[07:08] HAGGIS
You'd better not mean—
[07:10] YOUNG MAN C
We caught ourselves a Rabbitia!
[07:12] YOUNG MAN A
Killing one will make names for us!
[07:14] YOUNG MAN A
And drinking Rabbitia blood will
make our swords unbeatable!
[07:18] HAGGIS
Idiots!
[07:19] YOUNG MAN A
Rabbitia are all freaks anyway!
[07:26] HAGGIS
Lablac, wait!
[07:27] BELLE
You're supposed to raise your sword
to the music of clashing steel.
[07:32] BELLE
I see evil solists aren't
what they used to be.
[07:38] BELLE & SIAN
If you can't tell the difference
between being evil and doing evil,
[07:42] BELLE & SIAN
you don't deserve a sword.
[07:44] YOUNG MAN
You bitch!
[07:49] BELLE
What?
[07:51] BELLE
What was that?
[07:58] BELLE
There it is again.
[08:00] BELLE
Something's holding me back.
[08:02] HAGGIS
You fool! Who goes around smashing swords?!
[08:04] YOUNG MAN D
You'll pay for that!
[08:08] YOUNG MAN C
That does it!
[08:14] BELLE
What's going on?
[08:16] BELLE
I might as well be swinging a hunk of iron.
[08:19] SIAN
You can't become a nomad
unless you take on a curse.
[08:23] BELLE
Is this my curse?
[08:25] BELLE
Can I not cut anything anymore?
[08:28] YOUNG MAN E
No...
[08:30] HAGGIS
Hey! That's enough!
[08:49] HAGGIS
You've made your point.
We can all see how skilled you are.
[08:53] HAGGIS
And how beastly, too.
[08:55] BELLE
I just...
[08:57] HAGGIS
There's no coming back from this.
[09:00] HAGGIS
They worked hard to grow those swords.
[09:00] YOUNG MEN
My sword...
[09:02] YOUNG MEN
No way.
[09:03] HAGGIS
They'll never revive.
[09:06] HAGGIS
They'll just wither away.
[09:08] YOUNG MEN
Oh, there they are!
[09:10] YOUNG MEN
Topdog solists!
[09:11] HAGGIS
Good solists!
[09:14] HAGGIS
Have you got a dog tag?
SIGN Dog Tag

[09:16] BELLE
Of course not.
[09:17] HAGGIS
Then get going.
[09:18] HAGGIS
You used a sword without a dog tag.
They won't let you off easy.
[09:22] BELLE
What about the kid?
[09:24] HAGGIS
Must've run off.

H-Hey.

[09:51] BELLE
Have you missed being on the inside?

I don't remember anything

[10:07] JAILER
When that candle burns out,
we'll begin our investigation.
[10:11] JAILER
Wait here until then.
[10:20] BELLE
It was in a room like this.
[10:23] BELLE
I found you, then waited and waited.
[10:28] BELLE
Can I really not cut anything anymore?
[10:32] BELLE
This is the form my curse took,
[10:36] BELLE
the first trial on my way...
[10:38] BELLE & SIAN
to becoming a nomad.
[10:40] BELLE
That's right. I waited and waited.
[10:44] BELLE
And then...
[10:46] BELLE
someone came.
[10:47] BELLE
But who?
[10:54] BELLE
What's wrong with you, Belle Lablac?
[10:56] BELLE
Nobody's coming to get you out of here!
[10:59] BELLE
Staring at the door won't
make it open any sooner!
[11:02] BELLE
Runding!
[11:12] BELLE
The candle's out.
[11:15] BELLE
Oh, right. Could you call a
solist named Gaff for me?
[11:19] BELLE
I guess you could say we
had the same teacher.
[11:24] BELLE
Had completely slipped my mind.
[11:28] BELLE
Did you get that?
[11:34] ADONIS
Someone broke your sword, old man?
[11:37] HAGGIS
No, not mine. Mine wilted a long time ago.
[11:42] ADONIS
It's been a while, Haggis.
[11:45] HAGGIS
Adonis!
[11:47] HAGGIS
What are you doing outside?
[11:48] ADONIS
If it wasn't yours that broke, whose was it?
[11:51] HAGGIS
Oh, you know. Some young guys.
[11:54] HAGGIS
They're a mess.
[11:56] HAGGIS
I put 'em in a guest room upstairs.
[11:59] ADONIS
Can I talk to them?
[12:02] HAGGIS
Ask them for the whole story.
[12:07] HAGGIS
Adonis, have you seen your family?
[12:10] ADONIS
I don't plan to.

What do you think he's back here for?
[12:17] HAGGIS
Who knows?
[12:18] HAGGIS
Lots of problem customers today.

[12:34] CUSTOMER
I don't believe it! They showed
up smack dab in the middle of the city!
[12:38] HAGGIS
They've sniffed out one of their own kind.
[12:42] HAGGIS
Someone in Park City'll join the
Army of Insatiable Emptiness today.
[12:47] HAGGIS
Someone who can't enjoy anything anymore.
[12:57] BELLE
I really owe you one, Gaff.
[13:00] GAFF
You're my guest now, remember?
[13:03] BELLE
Still, I sure am glad I called you for help.
[13:07] BELLE
I can't believe you found me this place
to stay, on top of getting me acquitted.
[13:12] GAFF
You should have come to me from the start.
[13:17] GAFF
Your master asked me to look out for you.
[13:23] GAFF
Here's a dog tag.
[13:24] GAFF
Just carve your personal spell onto it.
[13:29] BELLE
Shandy Gaff,
[13:30] BELLE
why would a top solist like you drop
everything to do my master a favor?
[13:35] BELLE
Was he that big of a deal?
[13:38] GAFF
I don't hold a candle to him.
[13:41] BELLE
Oh yeah?
[13:44] GAFF
Do you resent him?
[13:46] BELLE
How could I? He made me forget
everything about him.
[13:52] BELLE
Anyway, sorry, but I can't accept this.
[13:57] BELLE
I'm going to become a nomad.
[13:59] GAFF
I know.
[14:01] GAFF
But you can't start your journey until
you fulfill a contract with the king.
[14:07] GAFF
You must serve this land
as a solist for a time.
[14:14] BELLE
I'm under a curse.
[14:17] BELLE
I think it might've made my sword picky.
[14:24] BELLE
I used to be able to cut
down people of any tribe
[14:28] BELLE
just like I slice through
flowers, stone, or wood.
[14:33] GAFF
What a thing to say.
[14:35] BELLE
Huh?
[14:36] GAFF
Seeing no difference between
felling people and flowers
[14:42] GAFF
sounds like the real curse to me.
[14:46] BELLE
Are you saying I'm beastly?
[14:48] BELLE
My sword is like a glove
I wear when I touch things.
[14:54] BELLE
Something tells me it
shouldn't play favorites.
[14:58] GAFF
This will assist you in solving the mystery
of your curse as well as in your travels.
[15:04] GAFF
Why not accept it?
[15:06] BELLE
You got me there.
[15:09] BELLE
My spell, huh?
[15:11] BELLE
Maybe I'll write "beastly."
[15:13] GAFF
Belle...
[15:14] BELLE
Thanks for everything, Gaff.
[15:17] BELLE
To be honest, I didn't want lean on anyone.
[15:21] BELLE
But since you offered,
I'll take all the help I can get.
[15:25] BELLE
You'd better not get cold feet!
[15:29] BELLE
Hey, you! Where did you come from?!
[15:33] BELLE
What are you doing here?
Did you come to thank me?
[15:36] BELLE
Don't sweat it. I decided
for myself to butt in back there.
[15:41] GAFF
That's the child all the fuss was about?
[15:44] BELLE
Well, yeah.
[15:46] GAFF
You should be honored to have
a traveling Rabbitia for a guest.
[15:51] BELLE
Some guest.
[15:55] GAFF
I'll arrange an audience with
the king for you at once.
[15:58] BELLE
You really are some big shot, huh?
[16:04] GAFF
That's the farm-players' music.
SIGN Farm-players

[16:16] GAFF
You're not going to visit your parents?
[16:18] BELLE
I will, when it's convenient.
[16:21] GAFF
Shouldn't you at least drop in to say hello?
[16:28] BELLE
I can't see them yet.
[16:32] GAFF
I see.
[16:37] BELLE
I haven't had a fancy bath in ages!
[16:44] BELLE
Don't like baths? Well, too bad.
[16:50] BELLE
Wait, you're a boy?
[16:54] BELLE
Where were you trying to go, anyway?
[17:00] BELLE
Don't tell me you can't speak...
[17:10] BELLE
It's tough having people be so nice to me.
[17:19] GAFF
"Lablac," huh?

You and your master.
[17:29] BELLE
That really rubs me the wrong way.
[17:31] GAFF
Sorry.

[11:48] Young Man A
I swiped this thing from the rabbit.
[11:51] Young Man A
I'll use it to lure him out and—
[11:53] Kitty
I see you never learn.
[11:55] Kitty
Remind me, to whom were you
going to teach a lesson?
[11:58] Young Man B
How'd you get in here?!
[12:00] Kitty
I'll only need mental math to deal with you.
[12:10] Young Men
I-It burns!
[12:12] Young Men
Fire!
[12:14] Kitty
Sweet nightmares.
[12:18] Kitty
So, this is Schwert Land's
local specialty, eh?
[12:20] Kitty
Horrible stuff.
[12:25] Kitty
Well now, someone certainly enjoys
the sound of their own singing.
[12:29] Kitty
I won't be getting involved.
[12:31] Kitty
My beloved wouldn't fall prey
to purgatorial dreams so easily.
[12:36] Kitty
Would you, girl of reason?
[12:40] Belle
Those sacred ashes sure are something.
[12:43] Belle
They work so well it freaks me out,
but I'm still glad to have them.
[12:46] Gaff
I'm glad you've recovered in time.
[12:49] Gaff
Evil solists will raid the
Under East district any day now.
[12:53] Belle
What?!
[12:55] Gaff
They'll strike right around
where your parents live.
[13:02] Belle
If you knew that, why didn't
you say something?!
[13:06] Gaff
It would go against the Law of Theme.
[13:08] Gaff
The king knows of the planned raid,
[13:11] Gaff
but only solists chosen by
divine summons will do battle.
SIGN Divine Summons
[13:16] Belle
If we wait till they attack,
it'll be too late, genius!
[13:20] Gaff
The selection is about
to begin in the castle.
[13:23] Belle
You expect me to wait for that?!
[13:25] Gaff
Won't you?
[13:27] Belle
I get it.
[13:29] Belle
Gaff's not allowed to say anything,
but deep down, he...
[13:33] Belle
What if I don't get chosen?
[13:36] Gaff
You'll need to pay your sword's
weight in gold denari.
[13:41] Belle
I'll go broke for sure if it comes to that.
[13:52] Belle
Am I too late?!
[13:54] Belle
Dad! Mom!
[13:57] Belle
Dad?!
[14:00] Belle
What happened to the people here?
[14:01] Belle
Where are all the townsfolk?!
[14:04] Cat-Eye Man
Th-The outsiders took them all...
[14:11] Belle
So this is a fight over farm-players, huh?
[14:13] Belle
The outsiders don't have
many instruments or crops,
[14:16] Belle
so this would be life-and-death
for them, but still.
[14:21] Belle
There they are!
[14:41] Minotaurs
Have at you!
[14:50] Gin
That brat's bad news.
[14:52] Mist
Let's get her!
[14:58] Gin
I'd heard a wild child showed
up in Park City, but this?
[14:58] Mist
Damn!
[15:00] Cloud
Whoa!
[15:01] Gin
Luck's not on our side.
[15:03] Gin
Here.
[15:10] Gin
She erased my spell with her damn sword?!
[15:21] Belle
Took them long enough.
[15:26] Belle
I managed to cut it!
[15:30] Mother
Belle?
[15:32] Belle
Mom!
[15:34] Mother
It is you, Belle!
[15:36] Mother
Oh, thank goodness!
[15:37] Mother
Belle! Belle!
[15:39] Father
Belle.
[15:40] Belle
Dad!
[15:41] Father
I'm so glad you came back to us, Belle.
[15:45] Belle
You look older than I remember.
[15:47] Bellein
Dad! Mom!
[15:52] Bellein
Thank you, Miss Solist.
[15:55] Belle
Mom and Dad had a real daughter...
[16:04] Belle
What's your name, little miss?
[16:07] Bellein
Bellein.
SIGN Bellein
Belle's little sister
[16:09] Belle
Bellein? "Belle's little sister"?
[16:21] Father
Belle, if you'd like—
[16:23] Belle
I'm glad I got a chance
to repay you for raising me.
[16:33] Belle
I'm going to become a nomad.
[16:47] Belle
It's gone!
[16:48] Belle
I must've lost it in the fight.
[16:53] Belle
Oh well.
[16:55] Belle
I'll come out on top sooner or later.
[17:01] Gin
That was one hell of a wild child.
[17:05] Gin
Hey, Mist, what's that you've got there?
[17:07] Mist
It's the wild child's.
[17:09] Cloud
For real? You swiped it off her?
[17:11] Mist
So what? I got frustrated.
[17:13] Mist
She was out of our league.
[17:21] Gin
A rabbit?
[17:23] Gin
What do you want with us?
[17:25] Kitty
I haven't come to fight.
[17:27] Kitty
I'd like to ask you for a favor.
[17:35] Kitty
Good evening, young lady.
[17:41] Kitty
Are you looking for something?
[17:43] Belle
Huh? Oh, no.
[17:45] Belle
Nothing I'll ever find, anyway.
[17:47] Kitty
Well then, would you join me for a stroll?
[17:54] Kitty
Oh, but I've forgotten to introduce myself.
[17:56] Kitty
Kitty the All is my name.
[18:00] Belle
I'm—
[18:02] Kitty
I know who you are, Belle Lablac.
[18:06] Belle
H-How do you know my name?
[18:09] Kitty
You've been looking after a boy.
[18:13] Kitty
His name is Kitty the Nothing.
[18:15] Kitty
I'd like to express my gratitude.
[18:17] Belle
So, what, you're his brother or something?
[18:21] Kitty
Where I come from, all Rabbitia are family.
[18:25] Belle
Where are we?
[18:26] Kitty
On the Rocks.
[18:28] Kitty
All lands have places where nomads gather.
[18:32] Kitty
This is one of them.
[18:37] Belle
I feel weirdly at home here. I wonder why.
[18:41] Kitty
I just requested a song.
[18:44] Belle
Wait, what?
[18:45] Kitty
That swallow woman is a traveling
troubadour. She sings for a living.
[18:50] Belle
She'll sing? Really?
[18:51] Belle
Are you planning to grow
crops here or something?
[18:54] Belle
You can't be building something,
so why'd you ask for a song?
[18:58] Kitty
True, I don't require a
song to create anything.
[19:03] Belle
What?
SIGN Play your key.
SIGN All while the broken mirror cut you,
SIGN you kept seeking what you hoped to find,
SIGN for you knew it was your road home.
SIGN You squint your eyes against

SIGN When that time comes, may even you, little one,
SIGN find a way to live where true peace is.
SIGN Oh, let us wake...

[20:21] Kitty
"May the curse of our traveler-to-be
become a blessing in time."
[20:26] Kitty
Or so I take her meaning.
[20:28] Belle
Huh?
[20:33] Belle
Thank you.
[20:40] Kitty
She cannot speak except when she sings.
[20:44] Kitty
Her nomad's curse, I presume.
[20:48] Belle
Did she really not make anything?
She has such a beautiful singing voice.
[20:53] Kitty
I suppose you see that as wasted potential.
[20:56] Belle
But I won't forget her song.
[21:00] Belle
She sang my name, "little one." Belle.
[21:03] Kitty
Did you find what you were seeking?
[21:06] Belle
Huh?
[21:07] Kitty
Your parents may have heard that
song, too, somewhere or other.
[21:12] Kitty
A song for one soon to begin her journey.
[21:16] Belle
So that's it.
[21:17] Belle
They got the name "Belle" from that song.
[21:21] Belle
They knew I'd go traveling someday,
[21:24] Belle
but they still gave me so much...
[21:50] Belle
I found what I was looking for...

[00:05] (Flashback) Gaff
The king will reward you
for your recent battle.
[00:09] (Flashback) Gaff
You were selected
to sortie with those solists.
[00:14] Belle
So that was my first mission from god?
[00:18] Kings
Little one, we commend you.
[00:24] Good King
Set your sword upon the scales.
[00:28] Good King
We shall grant you unwilting iron commensurate
with the deeds of which it tells.
[00:36] Belle
These must be the scales.
[00:43] Kings
Unwilting iron will bless you with sustenance
[00:47] Kings
and go on to bless many with the same.
[00:53] Belle
The god tree still won't look at me. Figures.
[01:00] Belle
I still have two missions to go.
[01:03] Belle
Call me anytime.
[01:06] Kings
Await the divine summons, little one.
[01:14] Gaff
Did you meet with your parents?
[01:15] Belle
Yeah. But I doubt I'll see them again.
[01:19] Gaff
You seem content.
[01:20] Belle
Well, I feel nice and refreshed
after everything that's happened.
[01:25] Belle
By the way, you and Kir are two of the
top four solists. Who're the others?
[01:31] Gaff
Taken an interest?
[01:32] Belle
A bit.
[01:35] Gaff
One is called Tiziano,
[01:39] Gaff
but they're missing at the moment.
[01:41] Gaff
I don't even know if they're
a man or woman right now.
[01:45] Belle
Oh, so they're a mermaid?
[01:47] Gaff
Mermaids can change everything
from their appearance to their aura.
[01:50] Gaff
If Tiziano has changed gender and gone
into hiding, we'll never find them.
[01:55] Belle
Are they strong?
[01:56] Gaff
Very.
[01:57] Belle
What about the other one?
[01:58] Gaff
He's a bit of a special case as well.
[02:01] Belle
But he's strong?
[02:04] Belle
What's his name?
[02:05] Gaff
Adonis.
SIGN Bye Bye, Earth
SIGN Bye Bye, Earth
[03:47] Belle
I didn't get picked again?
[03:50] Belle
How many times in a row is this?
[04:00] Belle
What's a paw tree doing here?
[04:04] Belle
Oh, pops!
[04:06] Belle
They're so cute!
[04:12] Belle
They look surprised they were born.
[04:17] Belle
I know!
[04:23] Belle
Don't be afraid.
[04:37] Belle
Guess they won't let me near them.
[04:40] Belle
Reminds me of that guy.
[04:46] (Flashback) Gaff
Don't get involved.
[04:48] (Flashback) Solist A
You damn sword thief!
[04:50] (Flashback) Solist B
Spit it out! Where'd you hide them?!
[04:53] (Flashback) Gaff
What's all this about?
[04:55] (Flashback) Solist C
Shandy Gaff!
[04:56] (Flashback) Gaff
This hardly resembles a duel between solists.
[04:59] (Flashback) Solist A
This thief is no solist,
and I won't treat him like one!
[05:05] Belle
He's not looking down on them.
[05:08] Belle
He pities them...
[05:13] Belle
Oh, sorry...
[05:21] (Flashback) Solist A
Come on! Let's go!
[05:25] (Flashback) Adonis
Looks like your words carry weight,
even with that lot.
[05:32] (Flashback) Adonis
Well, see you around.
[05:41] (Flashback) Belle
What started that ordeal?
[05:43] (Flashback) Gaff
He took the sword of a solist
who recently died in battle.
[05:49] (Flashback) Gaff
Their next of kin demanded
its return, and he refused.
[05:53] (Flashback) Belle
Huh?
[05:54] (Flashback) Belle
What good is a sword you
didn't grow yourself?
[05:58] (Flashback) Gaff
I don't know his reasons.
[06:00] (Flashback) Gaff
He takes the swords of the
fallen from battlefields
[06:03] (Flashback) Gaff
and buys up the swords of those
who renounce the blade.
[06:09] Belle
I wonder why he doesn't just
grow a sword of his own.
[06:13] Belle
You think maybe he can't?
[06:18] Belle
Those gloves...
[06:20] Belle
They make him seem like he's afraid
to touch a sword directly.
[06:45] Belle
Oh well. I'd just get passed over, anyway.
[06:47] Men
Hey! Speak up!
[06:49] Men
Yeah!
[06:51] Belle
Adonis!
[06:53] Belle
Don't you think this is a little much,
[06:55] Belle
all of you ganging up on just one guy?
[06:57] Man B
It's her!
[06:59] Man C
The girl who beat Kir!
[07:06] Belle
You... killed them?
[07:09] Man A
You always start with something
soft when testing a sword's edge.
[07:16] Man B
Can't say I approve of feeding wildflowers.
[07:19] Man D
Y-You can find pops anywhere.
Besides, they wilt in no time.
[07:24] Man D
This guy lost it over a few lousy
pops too, and look at him.
[07:28] Belle
If you're so weak that you can only
cut down helpless creatures,
[07:33] Belle
you shouldn't be solists!
[07:36] Man A
I won't take that lying down!
[07:40] Belle
I'll take you all on!
[07:49] Adonis
Talk about brute strength.
[07:51] Belle
What did the pops ever do to you?
How heartless can you be?
[08:00] Belle
Come on.
[08:02] Adonis
This is the second time you've
seen me this worse for wear.
[08:07] Belle
Where do you live?
[08:09] Adonis
I've got no problem ditching you,
if you'd prefer.
[08:20] Belle
Sorry.
[08:27] Adonis
That paw tree was planted to grow
pops for people to practice on.
[08:32] Adonis
A truly sharp sword has to be able
to cut soft things as well as hard.
[08:36] Belle
What? That's awful!
[08:38] Adonis
Solists can't grow without cutting things.
[08:41] Adonis
But I agree. If they can only cut down
helpless creatures, they shouldn't be solists.
[08:48] Belle
If that's how you feel,
you should've said so sooner.
[08:51] Belle
Did you want me to think
you're as bad as them?
[08:55] Adonis
How do you know my name?
[08:58] Adonis
Did Gaff tell you?
[08:59] Belle
That's right.
[09:00] Belle
I hear people call you the sword thief.
[09:03] Adonis
I've heard about you, too.
[09:05] Adonis
Isn't your name...
[09:07] Adonis
Belle Lablac?
[09:09] Belle
Right in one. What else have you heard?
[09:13] Adonis
He called you "the girl of reason"

SIGN Raven
Avian messenger of death

[09:33] Guidance
Each one blooms to inform
a bereaved relative.
[09:38] Belle
So he just heard about a death in the family.
[09:42] Belle
Want me to clean those up?
[09:44] Adonis
No, leave them.
[09:46] Adonis
I'm going to the castle.
[09:47] Belle
In the shape you're in?
[09:49] Adonis
Aren't you going too?
[09:51] Belle
Why bother? I won't get picked.
[09:53] Adonis
I'll give you a ride.
I bet Bamboo will like you, too.
[09:56] Adonis
Bamboo.
[10:02] Adonis
This is my shell.

It's always eating itself,

Uh... Wow.
[10:21] Belle
Wait, where's Adonis?
[10:23] Belle
And this room has no windows,
not to mention a door!
[10:26] Belle
Am I trapped in here?
[10:31] Adonis
Sorry, but you'll have
to make yourself comfortable.
[10:34] Adonis
I'm not feeling up to much.
[10:52] Adonis
What's the matter? Sit.
[10:54] Belle
S-Sure.
[11:00] Adonis
Bamboo seems to like you as much as I do.
[11:06] Adonis
One of these is all I need to patch myself up.
[11:08] Adonis
It might as well be an illusion.
[11:11] Belle
I thought the priests kept sacred
ashes under lock and key.
[11:15] Adonis
A few bribes, and they'll give
me some under the table.
[11:25] Belle
So...
[11:27] Belle
what is a "girl of reason," anyway?
[11:36] Adonis
Beats me.
[11:37] Belle
What do you mean?
[11:39] Adonis
I don't think Gaff really knows either.
[11:41] Adonis
I heard his master—your
master—called you that.
[11:48] Adonis
Said you have some special destiny.
[11:50] Belle
I'm not that big a deal.
[11:53] Belle
I just don't know my way home.
[11:56] Adonis
How do you mean?
[11:57] Belle
I don't know where to go to find my people.
[12:01] Adonis
You don't say.
[12:04] Belle
Why do you take swords from folks?
[12:07] Adonis
I'm just asking Park City something.
[12:11] Belle
You are?
[12:15] Adonis
This isn't even all.
I have more rooms in here.
[12:19] Belle
Why...?
[12:25] Belle
Did you add something to its spell?
[12:28] Adonis
The Question mark.
SIGN Question
Of those who doubt
[12:30] Adonis
A glyph from the age of gods
signifying one who doubts.
[12:33] Adonis
It can change any sword to suit me.
[12:36] Adonis
This is my spell and also my other name:
[12:40] Adonis
"The Question."
[12:42] Adonis
Why did these swords and their
wielders need to fight?
[12:46] Adonis
What does it mean to be a solist?
[12:49] Adonis
What is Schwert Land?
[12:51] Adonis
Who is the king? Who is our god?
[12:55] Adonis
I won't ask you to understand,
[12:57] Adonis
but I can't live any other way.
[13:03] Belle
He's like those pops.
[13:05] Belle
He doesn't know anything.
[13:08] Belle
Not why he's here or why he goes on living.
[13:13] Belle
I bet we're the same.
[13:20] Adonis
Once I add my Question to a sword,
no one else can handle it.
[13:24] Adonis
It changes the meaning
of the spell, you see.
[13:28] Belle
I was right. He can't grow a sword himself.
[13:33] Belle
The reason, and his resentment,
are buried deep, deep down,
[13:38] Belle
engulfed in darkness.
[13:40] Belle
I doubt anyone can reach them down there.
[13:44] Belle
Not anyone at all.
[13:47] Adonis
Looks like we made it in time.
[13:49] Good King
Solists...
[13:51] Belle
What's this?
[13:51] Good King
Make the heavens resound with Schwert Musik.
[13:52] Adonis
Everything Bamboo sees and hears.
[13:53] Good King
All serves our god's harmony.
[13:57] Good King
Tiziano's scales have tilted toward evil.
[14:01] Good King
They have whispered in the ears
of the evil, inciting them,
[14:04] Good King
and sworn to strike at the good.
[14:05] Adonis
Tiziano, huh?
[14:07] Belle
One of the top four solists?
[14:07] Good King
Our god will play the divine
summons, here and now.
[14:08] Adonis
They've finally crossed into evil.
[14:10] Belle
What happened?
[14:12] Adonis
Tiziano's got a bad habit of seducing
people irrespective of gender,
[14:15] Adonis
then dangling themself as a prize
to make their lovers fight each other.
[14:19] Adonis
Basically, they play god.
[14:21] Adonis
Gaff couldn't take it anymore
and broke their sword in a duel.
[14:24] Good King
Restore the scales to the
balance our god desires.
[14:25] Adonis
I don't know where they
disappeared to afterward,
[14:28] Adonis
but it sounds like they
finally went over to evil.
[14:29] Good King
You chosen solists of good,
show forth the notes of your blades.
[14:30] Adonis
Now they've stirred up the Underdogs
and sworn vengeance on the Topdogs.

[14:36] Good King

[14:37] Adonis
So this is where their sword being broken
and their good being tested got them...
[14:40] Adonis
It's my story in reverse.
[14:42] Belle
What do you mean
about their good being tested?
[14:45] Adonis
There's only one way to fix a broken sword.
[14:48] Adonis
I can't tell you the details,
[14:50] Adonis
but when you use it,
a sword tests its wielder.
[14:54] Belle
The sword tests you?
[14:54] Good King
Carrol, Bosom Caresser,
Stinger, Gordon, Benedictine,
[14:57] Belle
Wait, so how is that your story in reverse?
[15:02] Adonis
I started out on the outside.

Brace yourself.
[15:17] Adonis
This selection couldn't be worse.
[15:17] Good King
Bellini, Gwyn...
[15:20] Belle
I swear.
[15:21] Belle
He keeps harping on me about matching
everyone else. What the hell for?
[15:24] Adonis
We're forming bands for this fight.
[15:27] Belle
What's wrong with moving
to counter what I see coming?
[15:30] Adonis
You've got to follow the choreography
in a battle of the bands, featureless.
[15:34] Belle
Lay off with the "featureless" stuff.
[15:37] Adonis
Sure thing, Lablac.
[15:38] Belle
Call me Belle.
[15:41] Belle
Little one, we shall no longer call
you "featureless" henceforth.
[15:46] Belle
You're such a goof.
[15:50] Gaff
Oh? Fancy finding you together.
[15:52] Adonis
Hey, is it true you organized
the bands for this fight?
[15:57] Gaff
The chosen solists are horribly mismatched.
[16:00] Gaff
I grouped you all as best I could.
[16:03] Adonis
"Take your complaints to the king," you mean?
[16:07] Gaff
The second band and closing act
will follow after you.
[16:12] Gaff
You don't need to vanquish
Tiziano on your own.
[16:15] Gaff
Don't do anything rash.
[16:17] Adonis
This whole battle is rash.
[16:20] Belle
What do you mean?
[16:21] Adonis
Listen up, Belle.
[16:23] Adonis
The stage for our fight will be the Katakombe.
[16:26] Adonis
The Underdogs consider it sacred ground,
the way the Topdogs do their castle.
[16:31] Adonis
They know more ways in and out than I
can count, plus all the passages inside.
[16:36] Belle
The opening act is fighting now
to secure our way in though, right?
[16:41] Adonis
The Underdogs will fight like hell.
[16:44] Adonis
Do the Topdogs understand that?
[16:46] Gaff
That's why I assigned you to the first band.
[16:49] Gaff
You know the place like—
[16:50] Adonis
Do you really think anyone will listen to me?
[16:53] Gaff
Failing to win their trust
could get you killed.
[16:59] Belle
Adonis!
[17:01] Gaff
The balance will shift considerably.
[17:10] Kitty
Dear me. I suppose I must make do until
the threads of fate pull it back to me.
[17:21] Kitty
Oh? Color me impressed.
[17:23] Sian
I mean you no harm,
roaming prince of Denari Land.
[17:28] Kitty
I haven't heard from you in a long time,
roaming prince of Schwert Land.
[17:33] Sian
I have nowhere left to roam.
[17:36] Kitty
Oh?
[17:37] Kitty
You don't sound like the man who reached
my land through sheer determination,
[17:41] Kitty
questing for the world's enigmas.
[17:44] Sian
I merely came to ask the one who would
abscond with reason what he intends.
[17:49] Kitty
I was dispatched to observe
and judge reason.
[17:54] Kitty
Absconding with her will come later.
[17:57] Sian
What is there to judge?
[17:58] Kitty
If her menace can't be managed,
I'll kill her and all who know of her.
[18:05] Sian
But to depart this land,
she must question its reason.
[18:10] Kitty
So it all comes down to Deus Ex Machina.
[18:14] Kitty
A divine symphony of iron and blood...
The gods' resistance, I suppose.
[18:18] Sian
Indeed. And this god will try many a
ploy to keep reason at bay,
[18:23] Sian
so fiercely that it may nip reason in the bud.
[18:27] Kitty
I won't let that happen.
[18:29] Kitty
That's what you came to ask of me, is it not?
[18:33] Kitty
Why don't you go yourself?
[18:37] Kitty
Your curse, is it?
[18:38] Kitty
Very well.
[18:40] Kitty
But I have one more question for you.
[18:43] Kitty
What is that girl to you?
[18:47] Sian
She's like a raven blossom sprouting
from my body after I've fallen in a play.
[18:55] Sian
She will carry the corpses of words
to heights I can never reach.
[19:02] Sian
She is my hope.
[19:14] Gordon
Quite a sword you've got there!
[19:17] Gordon
Lend it here.
[19:18] Belle
H-Hey!
[19:26] Belle
Sorry, Runding.
[19:29] Benedictine
You actually lifted that massive sword?
[19:32] Benedictine
That's my Gordon!
SIGN Solist Gordon
[19:33] Gordon

Hey, don't let it get to you.
[20:07] Perry
He's always like that.
SIGN Solist Perry
[20:08] Perry
He finds some poor unfortunate to pick on.
[20:12] Belle
Who's he calling a "poor unfortunate"?!
[20:15] Perry
Can't he see you're trying your best?
[20:17] Gordon
The hell's with this script?!
[20:19] Gwyn
I'm so sorry! I had no time to take requests!
[20:22] Gordon
I might slip and hack up
the guys ahead of me.
[20:25] Gordon
Put me up at the front! Got that?
SIGN Libretto Gwyn
[20:28] Gwyn
Yes, of course!
[20:29] Belle
They're revising the script now*?!*

They'll never win renown that way.

First band, halt!
[21:06] Belle
What is this place?
[21:08] Belle
It's been washed clean, but the
air's stagnant and I smell blood.
[21:15] Belle
Where's the opening act?
[21:21] Adonis
We haven't got a prayer.
[21:25] Belle
The opening act pities us.
[21:30] Belle
They're waiting for us to take the stage
and get massacred.
[21:34] Belle
This is no joke!
[21:36] Adonis
It's a joke, all right. A sick one.
[21:39] Adonis
God's telling it, and it's not funny.
[21:42] Adonis
It's all we can do now to survive
long enough to laugh it off.
[21:47] Adonis
Now, let the Schwert Musik begin!

Who's there?

Is that Tiziano?

Belle! We can't stay here!
[04:46] Adonis
Retreat for now!
[04:48] Belle
Damn it!
[05:03] Belle
Shit.
[05:05] Belle
I should've been able to do something...
[05:11] Belle
Who's that?
[05:14] Belle
Benedictine?
[05:17] Belle
Not exactly the one I was hoping to run into.
[05:20] Belle
Can you get any more jumpy?
[05:25] Belle
Hey, over here.
[05:32] Benedictine
It can't be...
[05:35] Belle
Hey, I'm on your side, remember?
[05:37] Benedictine
What's wrong with you?!
[05:39] Benedictine
You were practically asking to get
killed, calling out like that!
[05:43] Belle
Sorry, jeez.
[05:45] Benedictine
Why is this happening to me?
[05:48] Benedictine
And what were you doing?!
[05:51] Benedictine
Couldn't you have at least helped Gordon?!
[05:54] Belle
Seriously...
[06:03] Benedictine
Gordon!
[06:08] Benedictine
You made it out!
[06:10] Benedictine
Goodness! I was worried sick about—
[06:22] Benedictine
What's happened?
[06:23] Benedictine
What's wrong with him?
[06:26] Benedictine
His blood's all congealed.
[06:29] Benedictine
He's... dead.
[06:33] Benedictine
He's already dead!
Something's controlling him!
[06:38] Benedictine
I have to erase him. Wipe him out.
[06:40] Benedictine
I have to. I have to. I have to.
[06:44] Benedictine
I have to erase him.
[06:46] Benedictine
I have to. I have—
[06:46] Belle
Benedictine! That's enough!
[06:49] Benedictine
No more...
[06:51] Benedictine
No...
[06:53] Benedictine
This can't be real...
[06:56] Belle
Here.
[07:01] Belle
Pull yourself together.
[07:26] Belle
I can cut him?
[07:32] Kitty
That almost went poorly.
[07:36] Belle
Kitty?! What are you doing here?
[07:40] Belle
Thanks for the help.
That was one hell of a trick you just pulled.
[07:44] Kitty
Hardly. Just a bit of mental math.
[07:47] Benedictine
I've had it...
[07:49] Benedictine
It's too much!
[07:51] Benedictine
I can't take any more of this place!
[07:54] Belle
Wait!
[08:04] Belle
Sorry.
[08:05] Belle
I didn't mean to break your sword.
[08:08] Benedictine
No...
[08:10] Benedictine
No... No more!
[08:12] Belle
Hey!
[08:15] Kitty
What have we here?
[08:17] Belle
C'mon. Just get a grip already.
[08:21] Benedictine
But... But without Gordon, I...
[08:26] Kitty
Mermaids have minds like mirrors,
reflecting those of others.
[08:32] Kitty
They build their identities
on that foundation.
[08:36] Kitty
One might even call the whole
tribe mental parasites.
[08:36] Benedictine
Gordon! Gordon!
[08:40] Belle
So that's how she ended up
as obnoxious as Gordon.
[08:46] Kitty
And why her personality collapsed
when she lost him.
[08:50] Belle
How awful...
[08:52] Kitty
Most mermaids favor a wealth of shallow
relationships for their own protection.
[09:02] Benedictine
What am I supposed to do
now that I'm all alone?
[09:07] Belle
Don't ask me.
[09:09] Belle
I don't know either.
[09:23] Gwyn
Monsters!
[09:24] Gwyn
They're all monsters!
[09:29] Gwyn
Not here too...
[09:31] Cassis
Calm yourself, Gwyn.
[09:34] Gwyn
Oh, it's you.
[09:37] Cassis
Is that Gordon behind you?
[09:39] Belle
Yeah.
[09:40] Cassis
I see.
[09:42] Cassis
You. What is a traveling
Rabbitia doing here?
[09:47] Kitty
First, why are you in such a hurry?
[09:51] Gwyn
Allies I saw die started attacking us.
[09:54] Kitty
Ah. Just like he did, then?
[09:57] Gwyn
What? So she got Gordon too?
[10:00] Belle
Did Tiziano do all this?
[10:09] Belle
What's up?
[10:11] Benedictine
I can hear something.
[10:13] Belle
Huh?
[10:14] Benedictine
Someone's talking.
[10:15] Gwyn
Excellent. You can always count on
a mermaid's hearing in a pinch.
[10:21] Benedictine
Let's go investigate.
[10:25] Belle
Sure.
[10:34] Benedictine
This is the place.
[10:38] Gin
I'm glad someone like you
was on the other side.
[10:39] Belle
People are talking.
[10:43] Gin
This'll cost us, but we've got to do it.
[10:46] Adonis
I know.
[10:47] Belle
Adonis!
[10:51] Belle
Thank goodness you're okay!
[10:55] Gwyn
Perry...
[10:57] Adonis
He just died.
[11:00] Belle
Adonis?
[11:01] Adonis
Belle, how many of ours made it?
[11:05] Belle
Just those of us here.
[11:07] Adonis
Okay.
[11:09] Adonis
I'll take his sword.
[11:12] Cassis
The sword thief.
[11:14] Adonis
There's a lake up ahead.
[11:16] Adonis
To people on the outside,
it's one of the few places
[11:20] Adonis
that soothes the souls
of good and evil alike.
[11:23] Adonis
I hear there's quite a show to see there.
[11:26] Kitty
A show, you say?
[11:29] Cassis
Who would arrange such a thing?
[11:31] Cassis
Why don't they show themselves?
[11:33] Adonis
He's the Underdog conductor.
[11:35] Belle
What?!
[11:37] Cassis
You're in league with the forces of evil?!
[11:40] Belle
Hold on!
[11:41] Adonis
We had this all wrong.
[11:43] Adonis
Who is our enemy?
[11:45] Adonis
Our enemy.
[11:47] Adonis
Who sowed the seeds of this battle?
[11:51] Gwyn
Tiziano.
[11:52] Adonis
Exactly!
[11:53] Adonis
We're up against Tiziano, and only Tiziano!
[11:56] Adonis
The Topdogs and Underdogs have that in common!
[12:01] Belle
Adonis...
[12:02] Adonis
I'll say it again: our enemy is Tiziano!
[12:05] Adonis
No one else!
[12:12] Gwyn
This must be the lake.
[12:15] Benedictine
But where's the show?
[12:18] Adonis
Over there.
[12:25] Adonis
Tiziano.
[13:01] Gwyn
She's recreating a battle of good and evil?
[13:05] Adonis
Using corpses, yeah.
[13:07] Adonis
She wants to play god.
[13:10] Benedictine
What's that light?
[13:12] Benedictine
It looks just like Gordon's wounds.
[13:15] Belle
No, it looks more like...
[13:18] Belle
that god's tree.
[13:20] Kitty
The mermaid appears to control the dead
[13:24] Kitty
by embedding shards of her
sword in their bodies.
[13:27] Gwyn
H-Hang on...
[13:29] Gwyn
Isn't this bad?
[13:35] Tiziano
Adonis!
[13:40] Belle
Crap!
[13:42] Gin
This doesn't look good!
[13:43] Benedictine
Enemy reinforcements?!
[13:44] Gin
Over here! Hurry!
[13:46] Benedictine
An illusion?
[13:47] Adonis
We'll run for it! Follow me!
[13:54] Benedictine
Watch out!
[14:01] Adonis
Bamboo! Give me something hot and fragile!
[14:14] Belle
It broke?
[14:20] Belle
He treated his sword as disposable?
[14:23] Belle
Is that how Adonis fights?
[14:25] Belle
He only thinks about efficiently
taking down his foes...
[14:28] Belle
The polar opposite of me.
[14:32] Gwyn
Look there!
[14:42] Adonis
Hurry!
[14:48] Kitty
No need!
[14:49] Kitty
I'll see to it that no one breaches this door.
[14:59] Kitty
Anyone who touches it from the other
side will taste a scorching hell.
[15:09] Gin
There you are.
[15:11] Gin
So, we meet again.
[15:13] Belle
I know you.
[15:15] Belle
From my first trial.
[15:18] Gin
The name's Gin Buck.
I'm the Underdog conductor.
[15:23] Gwyn
Then you gave Tiziano orders?
[15:26] Gin
Yeah.
[15:27] Benedictine
What was that "show" supposed to be?
[15:31] Gin
That watery lass wasn't so far gone
when she first showed up.
[15:36] Gin
She could think straight,
and she had life in her eyes.
[15:42] Gin
I mean, she came to us
and proposed an alliance.
[15:46] Belle
She what?
[15:48] Gin
She said the Topdogs would attack this place
[15:51] Gin
and that she'd come because she had
good reason to bloody their noses.
[15:56] Gin
Basically, "Let's team up."
[15:59] Belle
What's he talking about?
[16:01] Belle
I thought we came here to fight Tiziano
because she went over to evil.
[16:07] Gin
Want me to tell you when that watery
lass went off the deep end?
[16:12] Adonis
When she laid eyes on me.
[16:15] Gin
You got it.
[16:16] Gin
Soon as she saw you, she started
cutting up everyone in sight.
[16:21] Cassis
Are you to blame for this, Adonis?
[16:24] Adonis
Not me. Another man.
[16:27] Adonis
He defied a divine summons
and fled from battle.
[16:30] Adonis
The priests executed him.
[16:32] Benedictine
No!
[16:33] Adonis
I was the one who broke the news to Tiziano
that the man she loved most was dead.
[16:38] Adonis
She started to lose it after that.
[16:42] Gin
And now we're in this mess, huh?
[16:45] Adonis
Seeing me must have brought back memories.
[16:50] Belle
Adonis...
[16:53] Gin
Well, whatever.
[16:54] Gin
One thing's for sure. We'll all end up
her puppets if we don't act fast.
[17:02] Gin
So...
[17:03] Gin
what do you say we join forces for a while?
[17:07] Benedictine
You must be joking!
[17:09] Benedictine
How do we know you won't
lead us into a trap?
[17:11] Mist
Excuse me? Is your head on straight?
[17:14] Benedictine
What was that?!
[17:15] Mist
Why would we bother tricking you?
[17:18] Mist
We could've just picked you off
one by one in the caves.
[17:22] Cassis
Nevertheless, if we join forces,
you'll learn of our swords and tactics.
[17:27] Benedictine
Exactly! You're Underdogs!
We'll end up fighting you again someday.
[17:31] Mist
That's for sure.
[17:33] Mist
I'll have to beat your puppeteered
corpse once they kill you.
[17:42] Belle
Come on, you lose this round.
[17:44] Belle
We've gotta team up this time, Bennett.
[17:48] Benedictine
All right, fine.
[17:50] Benedictine
I'll play along if you say so, Belle.
[17:58] Gin
Good. Let's divvy up roles, then.
[18:02] Gin
Anyone object to me as the conductor?
SIGN Conductor
[18:06] Belle
How could we? I mean, we haven't got one.
[18:10] Gin
Okay, that settles it.
[18:13] Gin
Next, we need a director.
SIGN Director
[18:15] Gin
Hey, you there, want to give it a try?
[18:18] Kitty
Me, you say?
[18:19] Gin
We're a mixed force of good and evil.
[18:23] Gin
Who better to direct us
than a nomad who's neither?
[18:28] Gin
Besides, there might be a lucky find
in it for you if you take the job.
[18:33] Kitty
Oh?
[18:34] Gin
Hey, Mist.
[18:36] Gin
Cough up that thing you
"found" the other day.
[18:39] Mist
What? Darn it...
[18:43] Gin
This look familiar?
[18:45] Kitty
Sure enough, the threads of fate hold fast.
[18:50] Gin
Come again?
[18:51] Kitty
Nothing. It certainly does.
[18:54] Kitty
Well then, to show my gratitude,
allow me to accept the role.
[18:59] Gin
Great!
[19:00] Gin
Next we need a libretto
to plan our strategy.
SIGN Libretto
Scriptwriter
[19:05] Gwyn
I'll do it if you really want me to.
[19:08] Mist
What, giving up already?
[19:10] Gwyn
Well...
[19:11] Gwyn
So, what sort of script should I write?
[19:15] Gin
Don't look at me. That's your job.
[19:18] Gwyn
Yes, of course.
[19:19] Gwyn
But I, er, thought I'd better
take requests beforehand.
[19:23] Mist
Are you stupid?!
[19:24] Mist
Trying to make everyone happy is how you
wound up with a formation so easy to break!
[19:29] Mist
Just write it how you want.
[19:32] Gwyn
You sure are strong.
[19:34] Mist
What? You sure like hiding
behind your weakness.
[19:38] Mist
It's pathetic.
[19:40] Gwyn
Maybe you're right.
[19:44] Gwyn
I'll do it.
[19:46] Gwyn
There's something I've been wanting to try.
[19:48] Gin
Good to hear.
[19:50] Gin
Next up...
[19:52] Cassis
I'm a pianistus. I can't be anything else.
SIGN Pianistus
Accompanist
[19:54] Gin
Oh yeah? And why's that?
[19:55] Cassis
So that I may report the outcome
of battle to the king, I—
[19:59] Gin
Oh, so you just watch.
[20:01] Cassis
We priests may not wield our swords.
[20:05] Gin
Come again?
[20:06] Cassis
While I wear this mask and chain,
I am a solist and yet not.
[20:12] Cassis
I merely observe battle in our god's
stead and bring word to the king.
[20:17] Gin
Got it.
[20:19] Gin
Then stay behind me
and out of our way, you hear?
[20:25] Tom
Adonis.
[20:28] Tom
What of your hands...?
[20:31] Tom
I see. So even sacred ashes couldn't
fix them after all.
[20:35] Adonis
That wasn't the only reason
I moved to the inside.
[20:40] Belle
You two know each other?
[20:42] Tom
He's my son.
[20:44] Belle
Your son?
[20:46] Tom
Yes.
[20:47] Tom
I never dreamed we'd wield
our swords together.
[20:49] Tom
What a pleasant surprise.
[20:51] Belle
So Adonis really used to be an evil solist?
[20:56] Tom
No.
[20:57] Tom
Our family, the Collinses, are outsiders,
but we're neither good nor evil.
[21:02] Belle
Huh?
[21:04] Tom
For generations, our sole duty
has been to guard the Katakombe.
[21:09] Belle
You're not on either side?
[21:13] Gin
Now then,

Are you done?

More or less.
[02:07] Gin
Give me the gist.
[02:09] Gwyn
Three acts.
[02:10] Gin
I'm gonna need more than that.
[02:13] Gwyn
We'll set them all ablaze.
[02:16] Gin
Fire, huh?
[02:17] Gwyn
Yes.
[02:19] Gin
Okay. I want you to stay out of the fight.
[02:22] Gin
Keep using your brain.
[02:23] Gwyn
Right.
SIGN Act One
[02:25] Gin
Now, it's about time we
got this show started.
[02:32] Gin
We make our stand on this bridge.
[02:34] Gwyn
They can only come at us
from two directions here.
[02:38] Gin
Make this place a fortress.
[03:14] Cloud
Mr. Gin Buck!
[03:42] Kitty
Behold the art of ward inversion.
[03:45] Gin
Come now! There's more where they came from!
[03:56] Benedictine
Will this do?
[03:58] Sandy
What's wrong with these guys?!
[04:00] Sandy
Let go!
[04:13] Belle
Adonis!
[04:14] Belle
Shit!
[04:27] Belle
What the...?
[04:31] Belle
It's withering.
[04:34] Belle
His sword is crying out
[04:37] Belle
and rotting away.
[04:41] Gin
Damn the watery lass.
She's toying with her pawns.
[04:46] Gin
You sure called this one.
[04:48] Gwyn
I break my own toys all the time,
too. It helps me feel better.
[04:54] Gin
I keep finding more reasons
to be scared of you.
[05:03] Mist
Cloud!
[05:05] Mist
You'll pay for that!
[05:07] Mist
Damn you!
[05:14] Benedictine
Not on my watch!
[05:22] Belle
Bennett!
[05:25] Benedictine
I'm fine.
[05:31] Belle
That does it!
[05:39] Benedictine
Belle...
[05:48] Belle
Damn it!
[05:49] Belle
You little...
[05:57] Benedictine; Bennett
I'm fine, Belle.
[05:59] Belle
Bennett?
[06:00] Belle
Don't tell me...
[06:02] Benedictine; Bennett
I can feel the woman in me going to sleep.
[06:07] Bennett
She may never wake again.
[06:10] Guidance
Mermaids don't change gender arbitrarily,
[06:14] Guidance
but because they've chosen what
to reflect in the mirrors of their minds.
[06:20] Bennett
I'm aiming with my ears now, not my eyes.
[06:26] Gin
We can beat corpses all day, but it makes no
difference unless the watery lass joins in.
[06:32] Gwyn
I know that.
[06:33] Gin
How do we lure her out?
[06:35] Gwyn
We convince her we're a threat,
then give her an opening.
[06:39] Gwyn
Finally, we lead her to think we're nearly
done for and really rile her up.
[06:44] Gin
Make her mad, huh?
[06:46] Gwyn
Only rage will drive her to show herself.
[06:50] Gin
He's reading her like a book. I'm impressed.
[06:55] Kitty
I don't believe we can
stand much more of this.
[06:58] Gin
Okay, then time for the second act!
SIGN Act Two
[07:11] Gin
Let's dam up this stream
while we have the chance.
[07:14] Kitty
Certainly.
[07:20] Gin
Over here! Divert that channel!
[07:22] Bennett
Leave it to me.
[07:24] Mist
Hey, what are we going for here?
[07:27] Gwyn
We're cutting Tiziano off from the waterway.
[07:30] Bennett
Water is a mermaid's element, after all.
[07:33] Gin
Next, plug up this spring.
[07:36] Kitty
Allow me.
[07:38] Belle
That's Adonis's dad.
[07:46] Belle
S-So, uh...
[07:48] Belle
It's so dark here,
I'm amazed you don't get lost.
[07:51] Belle
Did you memorize the path?
[07:52] Tom
Nothing like that.
[07:54] Tom
I close my eyes and turn my focus inward,
sensing the land itself to find my way.
[08:01] Belle
What do you mean, focus inward?
[08:03] Tom
Trust the visions you catch
glimpses of in your mind.
[08:07] Tom
They manifest a sort of invisible
will that guides your course.
[08:15] Tom
It isn't easy to develop the skill
to see the unseeable through the darkness,
[08:22] Tom
but it's not supernatural,
and you don't need to be born with it.
[08:28] Tom
I think we all tap into it sometimes
without realizing it.
[08:35] Belle
All of us?
[08:42] Gwyn
That should be good enough.
[08:43] Gin
Yeah.
[08:49] Tom
We've no other choice? I feared as much.
[08:53] Gin
Indeed. Lead the way.
[08:57] Tom
Follow me.
[09:01] Belle
Where are we going now?
[09:04] Adonis
We call it Skyway Cemetery.
[09:07] Adonis
It's a garden of death.
SIGN Skyway Cemetery
[09:28] Belle
Raven blossoms...
[09:34] Adonis
They're flying off to notify the bereaved.
[09:37] Belle
This really is a cemetery
that leads to the sky.
[09:41] Adonis
It's the most sacred, inviolable
space in the Katakombe.
[09:46] Gin
Here's where we make our last stand.
[09:50] Gin
Sorry, Collins.
[09:52] Tom
The fortunes of battle favor you.
I'll abide by your decision.
[09:59] Gin
Set wards around the whole cemetery.
[10:01] Kitty
Dear me. You don't make things easy.
[10:04] Kitty
I'll need a few moments
to cover so much ground.
[10:07] Cassis
Why here?!
[10:09] Cassis
This place holds a legion
of corpses for her to puppeteer!
[10:12] Cassis
And there's only one entrance
with nowhere to flee!
[10:30] Cassis
I'll never draw my sword
unless our god permits it.
[10:35] Cassis
I'm a priest before I'm a solist.
[10:44] Gin
They're here.
[10:57] Belle
The wards are thin. They're spread too far.
[10:59] Cloud
This doesn't look good!
[11:07] Mist
How do you expect us
to deal with this crap?!
[11:12] Bennett
Something's coming.
[11:13] Bennett
Do I hear water?
[11:15] Adonis
Damn Tiziano.
[11:17] Adonis
She broke the wards holding back the waterway.
[11:19] Belle
What?!
[11:21] Gwyn
It won't be long now.
[11:23] Gin
No, it won't.
[11:25] Gin
Think I can play my part?
[11:27] Gin
I already know they'll bury
me here someday soon.
[11:32] Gwyn
I don't feel up to my part either,
but we've no alternative.
[11:38] Gwyn
I want to believe that I'm worth this much.
[11:42] Gwyn
That my life has value...
[11:48] Gin
You said it.
[11:57] Mist
Mr. Gin Buck!
[11:58] Gin
Fall back!
[12:01] Gin
You too. Get going.
[12:02] Gwyn
Sir.
[12:09] Gin
So, watery lass, we meet again.
[12:29] Gin
I forgot how slow I am on my feet.
[12:35] Belle
Gin Buck!
[12:36] Gin
You little idiot! Forget about me!
[12:41] Belle
Out of my way!
[12:42] Gin
Run, you pudding-headed dolts!
[12:46] Gin
Now...
[12:47] Gin
let us close the curtain on the second act!
SIGN Act Three
[13:01] Belle
Well, damn.
[13:03] Tom
This is why you covered the
whole cemetery in wards?
[13:07] Gin
That's right.
[13:09] Cloud
But why did the water
vanish all of a sudden?
[13:12] Gwyn
We had Kitty work an illusion into
the warding holding back the waterway.
[13:16] Bennett
So, when she broke it,
a trickle appeared as a torrent.
[13:21] Belle
I thought we were done for.
[13:25] Gin
You should've left me.
[13:27] Adonis
You don't get to go out in a blaze
of glory after pulling this stunt.
[13:33] Tom
We've incinerated the dead and a sacred
place just to save our own skins.
[13:40] Adonis
You still have raven seeds.
[13:43] Adonis
Unless that changes, just keep sowing them.
[13:47] Tom
We've lost a lot today.
[13:50] Tom
That much is certain.
[13:52] Tom
But we haven't lost ourselves.
[13:56] Tom
Painful as it is, we ought to accept that.
[14:00] Mist
I'm not letting this slide!
[14:02] Mist
Someone's going to pay for it.
[14:06] Gin
Here they come.
[14:08] Gin
Look alive.
[14:09] Gin
The final act starts now!
[14:15] Gin
I knew she'd try this trick next.
[14:18] Gwyn
So did I.
[14:35] Mist
We wouldn't be in this mess
if you hadn't come!
[14:39] Gwyn
I won't die.
[14:41] Gwyn
And I won't let you either!
[14:43] Gwyn
I've come too far!
[14:44] Gwyn
Too far!
[15:23] Gwyn
Wasn't there any other way?
[15:30] Mist
You idiot.
[15:36] Gwyn
Mist, take this.
[15:38] Mist
Huh?
[15:40] Gwyn
I want you to grow this sword for me.
[15:44] Gwyn
I'm not strong enough to do it
with a missing arm.
[15:49] Mist
What's this spell?
[15:51] Gwyn
Evren. "Courage and cowardice."
[15:55] Gwyn
One can't exist without the other.
[15:59] Mist
Courage and cowardice...
[16:02] Gwyn
I've taught it plenty of cowardice,
[16:06] Gwyn
so now I'd like you to give
it a lesson in courage.
[16:11] Mist
Like when I gave you a piece of my mind?
[16:13] Gwyn
Please.
[16:15] Mist
Gwyn!
[16:24] Belle
Is that sword consuming its wielder?
[16:28] Adonis
Legna, huh? "One who commands."
[16:32] Adonis
At this point, it just sounds pitiful.
[16:42] Belle
What is this feeling?
[17:43] Tiziano
Adonis!
[17:48] Belle
Adonis!
[17:51] Kitty
My beloved!
[18:01] Belle
I don't know where or when,
but I've felt like this before.
[18:08] Belle
A stone egg...
[18:21] Belle
Kitty!
[18:24] Kitty
To determine up and down, right and left...
[18:27] Kitty
To master position, direction, time, and place
[18:30] Kitty
is the very essence of mathematics.
[18:33] Belle
He always has a trick up his sleeve.
[18:38] Kitty
There they are.
[18:40] Belle
Adonis!
[18:42] Kitty
I believe he's using his
familiar as a foothold.
[18:46] Belle
Hey, isn't that Perry's sword?
[18:50] Belle
A Question mark! But why?!
[18:53] Kitty
It appears his hands wither all
they come in contact with.
[18:57] Belle
That's ridiculous.
[18:59] Kitty
You just saw steel wilt at his touch.
[19:04] Belle
I know, but still!
[19:27] Belle
She's laughing?
[19:28] Kitty
What a danse macabre.
[19:31] Adonis
Was it my fault, Tiz?
[19:36] Adonis
Would you have been happier
if your sword had stayed broken?
[19:42] Belle
That sword is just like the god's tree.
[19:46] Kitty
A cancerous sword.
SIGN Cancerous Sword
[19:48] Kitty
Fatal illness renders it a false god's throne.
SIGN False God
[19:52] Kitty
Or, should I say, a fabricated
refuge for the soul?
[19:55] Belle
What do you mean by "false god"?
[19:57] Kitty
You'll understand someday.
[20:00] Kitty
The ersatz gods of old and the people
of paradise have already begun their war.
[20:06] Belle
Start making sense.
[20:07] Kitty
In any event, how shall we aid him from here?
[20:11] Belle
I'll do it.
[20:13] Kitty
As you wish.
[20:20] Belle
I believe in you.
[20:25] Adonis
Do your worst!
[20:26] Tiziano
Adonis!
[21:04] Belle
Was she her sword's puppet,
just like the rest of them?
[21:13] Tiziano
Adonis?
[21:18] Adonis
No more worries, Tiz.
[21:30] Adonis
It doesn't matter... if I touch you now.
[21:35] Adonis
I'll sow raven seeds in you
[21:40] Adonis
and tend them
[21:43] Adonis
so they bloom beautifully.

The wound no longer pains me.

I can still play Schwert Musik for the dead.
[00:36] Belle
What happened?
[00:39] Gaff
I fought a priest of the Katakombe.
He showed tremendous skill.
[00:43] Gaff
Tom Collins, his name was.
[00:46] Belle
Adonis's dad?!
[00:49] Gaff
I slew him.
[00:53] Belle
Why did you do it?

The divine summons orchestrated that
battle down to the closing band.

I cannot stay my sword when

Can you stand?
[03:21] Sherry
I taste iron!
[03:25] Sherry
I'm not accustomed to walking around the city.
[03:28] Sherry
Maybe that's why I keep
falling again and again.
[03:32] Sherry
Bumping into people, tripping on stairs...
[03:37] Sherry
But this is the first time I've gotten hurt.
[03:40] Sherry
Who knew blood came out of noses?
[03:43] Sherry
What an enormous sword!
[03:45] Sherry
You must be a solist.
[03:47] Belle
Do you feel okay? Are you hurt anywhere else?
[03:51] Belle
It's like she just expects other
people to clean her up.
[03:54] Belle
Is she nobility from the castle?
[03:56] Belle
Are you on your own?
[03:58] Belle
You didn't even bring an umbrella.
[04:00] Sherry
I've never gotten permission before.

To go out on the town alone, I mean.
[04:05] Sherry
They did give me an umbrella,

but I didn't know how to open it,
so I threw it away.
[04:11] Belle
What does she mean, she didn't know how?

Oh, just call me Belle.

You sure brought a load

What else was I supposed to do?
[05:30] Belle
I don't know anyone else who
might have clothes that fit her.

She must be freezing. Let her use your bath.

And, anyway, I came to see you as a woman.

I can't help it.

Please, come right this way.

My! What a bath!

O-Oh dear.

Remember: you peek, I fillet you.

Really, Belle. I have my
good name to consider.

That's rich. You're always running
off on some fling or another.

And you seem awfully hung up on
that girl you gave your sword to!

You break it and hot water comes o—

Oh, it's for breaking.

No! My best carpet!

What did I do to deserve this?!

Are you certain this is enough water, Belle?

Man, you really do live like a princess.

Why, you have the same furniture as Shandy.

I borrowed it off him.

And you've done so much for me.

I wish I had some way to repay you.

Sing for me, then.

Sing? Really?

Yeah. I want to hear you sing.

But what should I sing?
[07:39] Sherry
Nothing here is broken,
and I mustn't stop the rain yet.

That's okay. I'd love to hear you
sing whatever you feel like.
[07:51] Sherry
All right.
[08:40] Belle
Thank you. That was amazing.
[08:43] Sherry
No one's ever asked me to repay
a favor with song before.
[08:49] Belle
Seems singing's really hard on you.
[08:56] Belle
Sherry?
[09:01] Belle
Huh?
[09:04] Sherry
Shandy!
[09:05] Gaff
Sherry? I never dreamed
I'd find you with Belle.
[09:09] Sherry
Do pardon me.
[09:11] Sherry
I've been imposing.
[09:13] Sherry
But she's just like you said she was.
[09:17] Sherry
Strong, gallant, and profoundly perceptive.
[09:23] Sherry
Her insight is so keen it's frightening.
[09:26] Gaff
Apologies for the trouble, Belle.
[09:29] Belle
Don't sweat it. I could say the same.
[09:31] Gaff
Sherry.
[09:46] Kir
Tiziano's sword?
[09:48] Kir
What a dreadful Schwert Streich.
[09:51] Kir
If Belle Lablac dealt this blow,
[09:54] Kir
I couldn't hold a candle to her
now that I've lost my own sword.
[09:59] Adonis
I need to ask you something.
[10:03] Adonis
Kir...
[10:04] Adonis
Do you know about the examiner?
SIGN Examiner
One who tests
[10:06] Kir
I've heard of them.
[10:09] Kir
A royal inspector who visits
solists with broken swords.
[10:13] Adonis
Right now, I fulfill that role.
[10:17] Adonis
The price I paid for sacred ashes.
[10:20] Adonis
I was given something similar
called "Ashes of the Tried,"
SIGN Sacred Ashes
SIGN Ashes of the Tried
[10:25] Adonis
and I go around testing the good and evil
in solists who've broken their swords.
[10:30] Kir
Testing them how?
[10:32] Adonis
When a broken sword is reborn,
the sword tests its wielder.
[10:37] Kir
"Reborn"?
[10:39] Kir
So when Gaff shattered this sword
of Tiziano's, you restored it to life?
[10:47] Adonis
The resurrected sword turned
Tiziano into a Nidhogg.
SIGN Nidhogg
Fiend
[10:52] Adonis
I came back from the Katakombe with
that certainty, and that doubt.
SIGN Doubt
[10:57] Adonis
I'm going to revive your sword,
[11:00] Adonis
together with this one.
[11:01] Adonis
That's my latest order from the priests.
[11:04] Adonis
But if the reborn sword only exists
to turn its wielder into a Nidhogg,
[11:11] Adonis
I mean to break it again and ask
the priests to explain themselves.
[11:16] Adonis
Please allow me that.
[11:19] Kir
You witnessed Tiziano's final moments.
[11:22] Kir
Do as you wish.
[11:28] Adonis
Ashes of the Tried...
[11:32] Adonis
Your Lived. Tiziano's Legna.
[11:35] Adonis
I will now subject both
swords to examination.
SIGN Examination
The magic of testing
[11:47] Kir
Look at the spells!
[12:00] Kir
Dillegnave!
[12:02] Kir
"One who bears good tidings"
in the tongue of the age of gods.
SIGN Dillegnave
One who bears good tidings
[12:05] Adonis
I can't believe you know that.
[12:07] Kir
I didn't. The sword told me.
[12:10] Adonis
The sword told you?
[12:11] Kir
Far from a thing of evil, this sword
will grant me boundless strength.
[12:17] Kir
Thank you, Adonis.
[12:20] Adonis
Then it wasn't the sword
that drove Tiziano mad after all...
[12:28] Belle
That's a lot to digest.
[12:30] Adonis
Yeah. I've made my peace
with what happened to Tiz.
[12:35] Belle
Have you? I'm glad to hear it.
[12:37] Adonis
Anyway, sorry about that. You were saying?
[12:40] Belle
Oh, right.
[12:42] Belle
I felt kind of annoyed. Or maybe lonely.
[12:46] Adonis
When Gaff put his arm
around Princess Sherry's shoulders?
[12:51] Belle
Bennett and Gwyn were cracking jokes about
love, but I do not have a thing for Gaff!
[12:57] Adonis
Maybe it has more to do with the princess.
[13:00] Belle
You think I fell for her?
[13:05] Adonis
Listen, my point is...
[13:08] Adonis
you could never be like her,
even if you tried.
[13:12] Belle
What's that supposed to mean?
[13:13] Adonis
You're featureless.
[13:15] Belle
You don't have to rub it in.
[13:17] Adonis
You're the one who asked.
[13:20] Belle
I don't judge people by their looks.
[13:24] Adonis
I like it.
[13:26] Adonis
Sometimes I even wish I could shave off
my ears and fur so I'd look like you.
[13:33] Belle
Now you're giving me the creeps.
[13:35] Adonis
How old are you?
[13:37] Belle
Who knows?
[13:38] Belle
I know how long it's been since I hatched
from that stone egg, but that's it.
[13:44] Adonis
But you're a grown woman physically, right?
[13:47] Belle
Who just comes out and asks that, jackass?!
[13:53] Adonis
How would you feel
about having my kids someday?
[13:56] Belle
Huh?!
[13:58] Adonis
That way, I might end up
with little ones who look like you.
[14:05] Belle
Your kids aren't you, you know?
[14:07] Adonis
I know.
[14:09] Adonis
Basically, I want to sleep with you.
[14:12] Belle
What'd you say that for?!
[14:15] Adonis
Not just to say it, and not
on a whim. I know that much.
[14:17] Belle
I'd go berserk if that's all it was.
[14:24] Adonis
So, what do you say?
[14:29] Belle
If I fall for you, then sure.
[14:34] Adonis
To be honest, I'm not totally sure
what possessed me to say it either.
[14:39] Belle
Seriously?
[14:46] Belle
Tell me, Adonis.
[14:49] Belle
You can't grow swords, can you?
[14:56] Adonis
Oh, right. I still haven't told you anything.
[15:00] Belle
Huh?
[15:01] Adonis
I just assumed I must have explained
my whole deal at some point.
[15:05] Belle
What?!
[15:07] Adonis
I'm completely at ease with you.
[15:10] Adonis
You're so strange. A total mystery.
[15:12] Belle
One of us sure is.
[15:14] Adonis
Bamboo.
[15:21] Adonis
This is my curse.
[15:24] Adonis
I've been stuck with it since I was born.
[15:32] Belle
No way...
[15:34] Adonis
Like you said, I can't grow swords.
[15:38] Belle
Is there a reason?
[15:40] Adonis
It's a nomad's curse.
[15:44] Adonis
Before I was born, an old
nomad visited the Katakombe.
[15:49] Adonis
He wanted the Collins family
to give him a funeral.
[15:53] Adonis
If he died in the Katakombe,
[15:55] Adonis
raven blossoms would carry the news
to his lost homeland.
[15:59] Adonis
By way of payment,
[16:01] Adonis
the old nomad offered to help my family
in what little time he had left.
[16:06] Adonis
He defended the Katakombe alongside them
[16:10] Adonis
and ultimately fell in battle.
[16:13] Adonis
My father was there when it happened.
[16:16] Adonis
He cradled the nomad's
body without thinking.
[16:19] Adonis
And then...
[16:21] (Flashback) Old Nomad
You must not touch my blood.
[16:25] (Flashback) Old Nomad
It's my curse.
[16:28] (Flashback) Old Nomad
It spreads through nomad blood.
[16:33] (Flashback) Old Nomad
Have faith that it will become a blessing...
[16:39] Adonis
The curse didn't manifest in my father.
[16:42] Adonis
That trial only affects those who
overcome fear and accept it.
[16:46] Adonis
Still, the nomad's blood never left my father.
[16:51] Adonis
I was born a few years later.
[16:55] Adonis
And this is the form
the nomad's curse has taken.
[16:59] Adonis
You could say I was born to become a nomad,
[17:03] Adonis
even though I still have no
reason to leave on a journey.
[17:09] Adonis
I kept knocking on the door of journeys
[17:11] Adonis
and wound up one of the top four solists,
wondering what the hell our god wants.
[17:17] Adonis
I still haven't found any kind of meaning.
[17:21] Adonis
In the end, no one knows
what they're living for.
[17:26] Belle
I've always felt the same way, deep down.
[17:31] Belle
I... I want to know my roots!
[17:34] Belle
So I can find my roots.
[17:37] Belle
I want to know who I am, where I
came from, and where I should go!
[17:45] Belle
Let's go on a journey, Adonis.
[17:48] Belle
Knock on the door of journeys with me!
[17:53] Adonis
Do you remember those pops?
[17:57] Adonis
I noticed you feeding them,
[18:01] Adonis
and I couldn't understand why.
[18:03] Adonis
Why does she feed them?
[18:06] Adonis
And if she's feeding them,
why not take them in?
[18:10] Adonis
Why does she look so happy?
[18:14] Adonis
Why does she want to leave on a journey,
[18:18] Adonis
even if it means taking on a curse?
[18:24] Adonis
I bet traveling with you
would never get dull.
[18:39] Sherry
I'd like you to return these
clothes to that gentleman.
[18:43] Belle
I see you learned how to work an umbrella.
[18:45] Sherry
I had Shandy teach me.
[18:48] Sherry
Oh, how I struggled at first.
[18:50] Belle
I'll bet.
[18:52] Sherry
To be honest, I wanted to see you
so I could ask you something.
[18:58] Sherry
When I sang here, you said that it
seemed hard on me, did you not?
[19:05] Sherry
No one has ever said
anything like that before.
[19:09] Sherry
Singing is all I have.
[19:11] Sherry
I've been singing for the castle and
the people since I was but a child.
[19:16] Sherry
Who would spare me a glance if I couldn't?
[19:20] Sherry
How could singing... be hard on me?
[19:25] Sherry
Why, Belle?
[19:27] Belle
Sherry.
[19:32] Adonis
Belle.
[19:34] Adonis
Oh, you already have company.
[19:36] Adonis
No big deal. I was just wondering if you
wanted to get something to eat.
[19:39] Belle
That's it!
[19:40] Belle
Sherry! I might just have your answer!
[19:45] Belle
Nice going, Adonis!
[19:57] Sherry
My, you have so many charming friends.
[20:00] Belle
They can be your friends, too,
if you ever feel like it.
[20:04] Gwyn
Naturally.
[20:05] Bennett
Just say the word.
[20:08] Sherry
Thank you.
[20:13] Kitty
There she is.
[20:16] Belle
I ordered a song.
[20:17] Sherry
A song?
[21:38] Sherry
E-Excuse me!
[21:43] Kitty
She cannot speak except for in song.
[21:48] Kitty
Likewise with her hearing.
It's her nomad's curse.
[21:59] Sherry
I hate crying. It's cowardly.
[22:03] Sherry
I don't want to cry and feel better.
[22:06] Sherry
Look. Does she shed a single tear?
[22:12] Sherry
As a fellow songstress, I feel envious,
frustrated, and heartbroken.
[22:17] Sherry
But...
[22:19] Sherry
the thought that I can still
cry fills me with joy.
[22:25] Kitty
Well, Belle wept when
she first heard a song here.
[22:30] Sherry
You mean you cry too?
[22:33] Belle
Well, yeah. Whenever I feel like it.
[22:38] Sherry
I want to be needed!
[22:42] Sherry
Does anyone have need of someone who cries?
[22:46] Belle
You'll forget how to need other
people if you keep that up.
[22:51] Belle
Must be hard on you.
[22:54] Sherry
True...
[22:55] Belle
I bet you won't stay that
way anymore, though.
[23:00] Sherry
True.
[23:02] Belle
No, I said too much. Sorry.
[23:06] Sherry
True.
[23:07] Belle
Basically, er, I want
to feel needed too, so...
[23:13] Belle
You understand, right, Sherry?
[23:16] Sherry
Thank you, Belle.

You must be the mighty solist
I've heard so much about.
[02:29] Minotaur
You look scrawnier than they say.
[02:36] Belle
If you touch me, you'd best
be prepared to lose an arm.
[02:40] Bennett
Oh, Belle!
[02:42] Bennett
What beastly manners, and in
such a beautiful dress, no less!
[02:45] Gwyn
Who cares? The hero of the Katakombe
shouldn't take any guff.
[02:49] Belle
Bennett, Gwyn!
[02:51] Belle
You seriously came in your
uniforms from the Katakombe?
[02:55] Gwyn
We'd stand out like sore
thumbs at a ball anyway.
[02:59] Bennett
So we decided to make a joke of it.
[03:02] Adonis
We figured we'd let people treat us like brutes
and get a taste of what you go through.
[03:07] Belle
Adonis...
[03:09] Belle
Are you drunk?
[03:11] Adonis
Mmm. Looks delicious.

[03:34] Belle
Ugh! What was that about?
[03:43] Sherry
Glory be!
[03:45] Sherry
May this exalted sword and scales enjoy
eternal glory at our god's hand!
[04:45] Belle
So this is what you wanted to show me...
[04:50] (Flashback) Belle
I bet you won't stay that
way anymore, though.
[04:56] Belle
You've changed since then.
[05:01] Belle
You sound happy, sublime, and fulfilled.
[05:07] Belle
You've done great, Sherry.
[05:11] Belle
I guess I'd better step up...
[05:16] Belle
so we can stay on equal footing,
even if we stand in different places.
[05:31] Kitty
You look ready to leave, my dear.
[05:35] Belle
You always pop up without
warning, Kitty the All.
[05:39] Kitty
Good evening, Belle Lablac.
[05:41] Kitty
You look simply radiant.
[05:44] Kitty
In Denari Land, we call
ones such as you "empty."

[05:50] Belle
What's that supposed to mean?
[05:51] Kitty

suggest you join me in a dance?
[05:58] Belle
Me?
[06:00] Kitty
Even flowers dance.
Surely beasts do as well.
[06:03] Kitty
So why should my beloved
deny herself the pleasure?
[06:12] Belle
So, what did you mean by "empty"?
[06:14] Kitty
Free as the air.
[06:16] Kitty
To know one's roots and one's place
but not be bound by them.
[06:21] Kitty
It refers to those who
seek to escape all bonds
[06:25] Kitty
and ultimately transcend escape itself.
[06:30] Belle
That's "empty"?
[06:33] Kitty
The steps are fortuitous
[06:34] Kitty
and yet inevitable.
[06:36] Kitty
Put no foot forward,
and naught will come of it.
[06:39] Kitty
Step forward, and you step toward death.
[06:41] Kitty
All is empty.
[06:43] Kitty
All things will be set free
to simply move and flow.
[06:53] Adonis
You broke Tiziano's sword in
the first place, didn't you?
[06:58] Gaff
They looked like they wanted me to.
[07:00] Adonis
Because you wouldn't take them to bed?
[07:03] Gaff
That's right.
[07:04] Gaff
Although rumor painted the two
of you rather close as well.
[07:09] Adonis
Tiz was just lonely.
[07:12] Gaff
We could never comprehend their sorrow.
[07:16] Adonis
Is that what you wanted to talk about?
[07:19] Gaff
No, but it is related.
[07:22] Gaff
In the Katakombe, I crossed swords
with your father, Tom Collins,
[07:28] Gaff
and slew him.
[07:29] Adonis
I know.
[07:31] Adonis
A raven brought me the news.
[07:34] Gaff
I see.
[07:35] Adonis
That's the way he would've wanted to go,
defending the Katakombe.
[07:42] Adonis
What's this really about?
[07:44] Gaff
Your father's sword is in my care.
[07:48] Adonis
What do you want from me?
[07:51] Gaff
If you want his sword,
[07:53] Gaff
return all the blades you've
stolen from the fallen.
[07:59] Adonis
That's your judgment as lead solist?
[08:03] Gaff
It is.
[08:04] Adonis
In that case...
[08:08] Adonis
As a solist, I challenge you to a duel!
[08:11] Gaff
Why, Adonis?
[08:13] Adonis
Bamboo!
[08:17] Adonis
Let's keep the guests entertained.
[08:19] Adonis
Lead solist, I want you to take up
your sword like the rest of us.
[08:24] Gaff
I will not grant you battle here and now.
[08:39] Kir
What's this, gentlemen? A duel?
[08:43] Kir
You would fight here?
[08:44] Kir
You have no audience. No witnesses.
[08:48] Kir
What a waste.
[08:50] Adonis
Kir...
[08:51] Gaff
It's nothing like that, Kir.
[08:53] Kir
But Adonis holds his sword drawn.
[08:56] Gaff
That doesn't mean I'll draw mine!
[08:58] Kir
You won't draw your sword?
[09:01] Kir
Then die.
[09:07] Priest
Lord Gaff!
[09:13] Adonis
Their chains came undone?!
[09:15] Gaff
So our god commands us...
[09:18] Gaff
to strike him down!
[09:30] Kir
Pathetic.
[09:31] Kir
A magnificent sword, is it not?
[09:34] Kir
It was rather a struggle to master it so well.
[09:38] Adonis
Oh, Kir...
[09:40] Adonis
What have you done?!
[09:42] Kir
The rest, I leave to you.
[09:45] Kir
Kill him however you please.
[09:54] Kir
Child's play.
[09:57] Adonis
W-Wait!
[09:59] Kir
Belle Lablac awaits me.
[10:03] Kir
I couldn't have done this
without you, Adonis.
[10:07] Kir
Without you, this sword
would never have been.
[10:28] Sherry
No...
[10:32] Sherry
Let my voice relay a message from our god.
[10:38] Sherry
Heed well. A Nidhogg, one who
gnaws at the divine tree's roots,
[10:43] Sherry
came into this world with a fiendish sword.
[10:47] Sherry
His identity: solist Kir Royale.
[10:52] Sherry
I hereby order battle.
[10:55] Sherry
Vanquish Kir Royale and bring him death.
[11:00] Sherry
To take up arms in this fight, I name...
[11:07] Sherry

Where are you, Belle Lablac?!
[11:35] Kir
Lablac!
[11:41] Gwyn
The way our god tells it,
[11:42] Gwyn
I don't get to fight you.
[11:50] Kir
Whelps.
[11:52] Gwyn
This must be the "Nidhogg"
mentioned in the divine summons.
[11:56] Bennett
Yeah. That sword is trying to consume Kir.
[11:59] Bennett
It's just like...
[12:11] Belle
Kir!
[12:12] Belle
I'm right here!
[12:15] Kitty
Come, my formulae!
[12:19] Kir
Lablac!
[12:24] Kitty
Astounding! He cut my calculations.
[12:27] Kir
Where is your sword?!
[12:29] Kir
Do you expect me to kill you unarmed?!
[12:32] Belle
Look at his arm...
[12:35] Belle
Is that sword consuming its wielder?
[12:38] Adonis
I've made my peace
with what happened to Tiz.
[12:43] Belle
What gives?
[12:45] Kitty
Belle! The divine summons called upon you!
[12:48] Kitty
This is your last duty before
you can go journeying!
[12:58] Belle
Runding, this is our final trial!
[13:04] Belle
What?
[13:06] Belle
I feel like I'm meeting
you for the first time.
[13:11] Belle
My friend...
[13:16] Belle
I get it now.
[13:18] Belle
I'm the one who's changed.
[13:36] Belle
Let's do this, partner.
[13:39] Belle
Our audience is waiting
on the edge of their seats.
[13:50] Belle
Get back, Kitty the All!
[13:52] Belle
He's mine to fight!
[13:55] Kir
So you finally take up your sword, Lablac.
[14:00] Kitty
Belle! Beware his fang!
[14:07] Belle
What?!
[14:08] Kitty
His sword is imbued with
the power of Restau Rant.
[14:11] Kitty
No shield can block a blade
that cuts through dimensions!
[14:14] Belle
Thanks, Kitty.
[14:18] Kir
This is a duel. I trust you understand that.
[14:22] Belle
Kir.
[14:24] Belle
We clashed, and I broke your
sword. If we'd never met...
[14:31] Guidance
The rain of sorrow will
freeze and starve you.
[14:36] Belle
I understand, all right!
[14:57] Kitty
Incredible!
[14:58] Kitty
My beloved can cleave even
the dimension-tearing of that blade!
[15:05] Belle
This is the sword you're so proud of?!
[15:08] Belle
I liked your old one a hell of a lot better!
[15:14] Belle
Look at what you've become!
[15:17] Belle
Did you feed that thing
your solist spirit, too?!
[15:26] Belle
That does it!
[15:34] Belle
Solists aren't for you to feed on!
[15:44] Belle
Looks like I can cut you.
[15:55] Kir
Lablac!
[16:06] Sherry
Someone save her!
[16:08] Sherry
Please!
[16:10] Sherry
Save Belle!
[16:13] Kir
You, a priestess, would flaunt a divine order
[16:15] Kir
and sully our battle by begging for her life?!
[16:18] Belle
Sherry!
[16:24] Sherry
Belle!
[16:27] Sherry
Goodness.
[16:29] Belle
I'm fine, Sherry.
[16:34] Belle
You sang like you were having a blast.
[16:50] Belle
It's not the sword...
[16:52] Belle
The divine tree is eating solists.
[16:57] Belle
This is a god?
[16:59] Belle
This is the god of Schwert Land?
[17:09] Belle
The divine tree still won't look at me.
[17:19] Belle
Birds bring messages of death...
[17:25] Belle
Are Nidhoggs just the divine
tree's messenger birds?
[17:34] Belle
If so, then what is it saying? And to who?
[17:40] Belle
Maybe Nidhoggs gnaw at the divine tree...
[17:46] Belle
because it has no one to talk to but itself!
[18:06] Kir
You... are strong.
[18:10] Kir
Have no regrets.
[18:18] Belle
This tree doesn't look
at anyone except itself.
[18:31] Belle
How long are you gonna stay
cooped up in Bamboo, Adonis?
[18:37] Belle
What happened to you?
[18:39] Belle
I have so much to talk about with you.
[18:42] Belle
You must have heard the news from Gaff.
[18:45] Belle
Tomorrow's the day.
[18:47] Belle
The king will prepare the key
to the door of journeys.
[18:52] Belle
That'll start the final trial.
[18:56] Belle
And then...
[18:58] Belle
we can go journeying together.
[19:04] Belle
I won't begin the trial until
you show yourself, got that?
[19:09] Belle
Serves you right, you oaf.
[19:19] Belle
I'll hack you to pieces if you peek!
[19:25] Belle
You said you wanted to sleep
with me, remember?
[19:52] Belle
You haven't even fallen for me.
[20:05] Belle
Adonis.
[20:08] Adonis
I'm a partial corpse.
[20:12] Adonis
I live with these hands that spread rot,
[20:15] Adonis
only living because I'm not yet dead,
waiting until total death sets me free.
[20:24] Adonis
I wonder what I'd have to do
to be as alive as you are.
[20:29] Belle
Then be reborn.
[20:33] Belle
I'll give birth to you myself
if that's what it takes.
[20:37] Belle
So...
[20:39] Belle
let's set out on a journey together.
[20:45] Adonis
I still need to figure some things out.
[20:49] Adonis
I can't make any promises until I do.
[20:52] Belle
You'll come tomorrow, right?
[20:57] Belle
Aren't you going to ask what I'm doing here?
[21:02] Adonis
You seem more at home in any room than I do.
[21:08] Belle
Yeah?
[21:10] Belle
You really are an idiot.
[21:13] Adonis
If you say so, then I guess I must be.
[21:16] Belle
At least come tomorrow. No matter what.
[21:20] Adonis
I'll be there.
[21:21] Adonis
But don't wait for me. Just go.
[21:25] Belle
Dumbass!
[21:27] Belle
I don't need you to tell me that.
[21:29] Belle
Don't get full of yourself.
[21:33] Adonis
Sorry, Belle.
[21:45] Belle
I'm so stupid.
[21:50] Belle
A total fool.

Almost like no one wants to go journeying.
[00:21] Belle

[02:10] Kings
State the name of the one
who enters our throne room.
[02:15] Belle
Belle Lablac. That's my name.
[02:18] Good King
What do you seek in our throne room?
[02:22] Belle
To leave Park City and cross the
borders the gods set between lands.
[02:27] Belle
I want the key that will allow me to do so.
[02:29] Evil King
For what reason do you wish to depart
the realm from our throne room?
[02:36] Belle
I'll go on a journey.
[02:37] Belle
A journey to find out who and what I am.
[02:42] Kings
What title do you desire in our throne room?
[02:50] Belle
I want to become a nomad.
[02:52] Belle
That's the title I desire,
and the one that suits me best!
[03:04] Kings
Then, little one, play the key.
[03:09] Good King
Reveal your soul's timbre.
[03:14] Evil King
Do so, and a spell to overcome divine
barriers will be engraved within you.
[03:29] Belle
What's this?
[03:30] Good King
You look upon the keyboard vessel,
the key to journeys.
SIGN Keyboard Vessel
[03:36] Belle
This is the key?
[03:44] Evil King
The key recognizes those who would play it.
[03:49] Good King
As for how you play...
[03:52] Evil King
Do as you will.
[03:56] Belle
Easy for you to say.
[03:59] Belle
What's this?
[04:01] Kings
"Moonwork."
[04:03] Kings
A spell from the age of gods.
It means "to do as the moon."
SIGN Moonwork
To do as the moon
[04:08] Belle
"To do as the moon"?
[04:11] Kings
A spiral of progression and regression.
[04:14] Good King
To do as the moon is
to regress while progressing,
[04:21] Good King
as the turning of the seasons
or the cycle of life and death.
[04:24] Good King
That which reverts to its origin
yet is different than it was.
[04:29] Good King
It goes on changing.
[04:32] Belle
"The moon"?
[04:33] Belle
What even is that?
[04:36] Evil King
A mystery from the age of gods.
None now can fathom it.
[04:43] Belle
What's this feeling?
[04:47] Belle
I should've had this answer when I was born.
[04:50] Belle
My words...
[04:54] Belle
I'm on the right path.
[04:56] Belle
Going journeying and meeting
Runding and coming to Park City
[05:01] Belle
have all been indispensable
steps toward knowing myself.
[05:07] Belle
All is free.
[05:19] Belle
This... is my timbre?
[05:26] Good King
The key will resonate with you and play
the old magic that enables travel.
[05:32] Evil King
But first, you must encounter chance
[05:36] Evil King
and understand that which has
the form of heart and mind.
[05:40] Belle
The form of heart and mind?
[05:43] Kings
It is called...
[05:45] Kings
"Now Here."
SIGN Now Here
That which is
[05:48] Belle
"Now Here"?
[05:49] Good King
You will exile yourself from divine law
[05:53] Good King
and take on a great curse,
believing it will someday become a blessing.
[06:01] Evil King
You will bespell yourself to keep your
own way, alone, wherever you may be.
[06:11] Belle
Pierce the world!
[06:13] Belle
I'll go out of tune and let out a howl.
[06:16] Belle
When I do, a hole will open in the world—me!
[06:21] Belle
I'll let my being truly blossom!
[06:25] Belle
This is what my sword taught me.
[06:37] Belle
But it won't work...
[06:40] Belle
Not yet.
[06:45] Belle
This instrument expresses freedom,
but I can't feel it as freedom yet.
[06:52] Belle
I feel lonely.
[06:53] Belle
I feel so lonely I could go crazy.
[06:58] Good King
Then you will forsake this trial?
[07:02] Belle
I mean, just listen...
[07:08] Belle
Talk about heavy.
[07:11] Evil King
Then do you accept permanent
residence in this land?
[07:16] Belle
No, I don't.
[07:17] Belle
I'm gonna wait for my next chance.
[07:20] Good King
But little one...
[07:23] Evil King
You who wreak howls...
[07:25] Belle
Wreak howls?
[07:27] Good King
Many will suffer unbearable worry
when you journey forth.
[07:35] Good King
The howl of being you release
will make it so.
[07:40] Belle
Are you saying I'm a bad influence on people?
[07:44] Evil King
You know not what you wreak.
[07:49] Kings
Our god does not wish it.
[07:53] Kings
Little one, should you
find the key beyond you,
[08:00] Kings
make a new home in Park City.
Nay, in this very castle.
[08:14] Belle
I'll think about it.
[08:17] Belle
But I'm going on my journey.
[08:19] Belle
My mind's made up.
[08:21] Belle
This isn't the homeland where I belong.
[08:24] Belle
Even if I can't play the key,
[08:27] Belle
I'll fight against the divine walls,
[08:30] Belle
and if I'm unlucky, I'll perish.
[08:33] Belle
It's as simple as that.
[08:56] Man 2
Sword thief!
[08:58] Man 3
Hope you know what you've got coming!
[09:00] Man 1
Now give us back our swords!
[09:03] Adonis
All right.
[09:06] Adonis
Bamboo.
[09:09] Man 2
Look at that weird magic.
[09:12] Man 2
No wonder we couldn't find 'em anywhere.
[09:15] Man 1
We're not done yet.
[09:17] Man 1
Cough up all the swords you've
got stashed away! Now!
[09:21] Adonis
And then?
[09:22] Man 1
I'll take over your position!
[09:25] Adonis
You couldn't handle it.
[09:27] Man 1
Oh yeah?!
[09:37] Adonis
I knew things would turn out this way!
[09:39] Adonis
I knew before I came to Park City!
[09:41] Adonis
I knew before I became a solist!
[09:44] Man 2
I-I'll be damned if I call
the likes of you a solist,
[09:48] Man 2
you freak!
[09:50] Adonis
What is a solist? What is a sword?
[09:54] Adonis
Who are you? What are you?
[09:57] Adonis
What do you live for?
[09:59] Adonis
What do you die for?
[10:00] Adonis
What is death?!
[10:03] Adonis
Show me.
[10:13] Adonis
I knew things would turn out this way.
[10:16] Adonis
I can hone my skills all I want,
but my swords still end up like this.
[10:20] Adonis
What should I do?
[10:21] Adonis
Should I be killed? Or go on living?
[10:26] Adonis
Should I cry for someone to end me?
[10:33] Adonis
I knew things would turn out this way...
[10:38] Adonis
I'm a partial corpse.
[10:41] Adonis
What do I want from this world that
I was born cursed and cast out into?
[10:47] Adonis
I don't even know.
[10:49] Adonis
I had no choice but to doubt the world.
[10:53] Adonis
Until I met that girl.
[10:57] Adonis
She seems so utterly alive.
[11:00] Adonis
For the first time,
I felt truly drawn to someone.
[11:03] Adonis
I felt like I could truly want something.
[11:08] Adonis
I felt like I could become truly alive.
[11:11] Belle
Adonis!
[11:15] Adonis
Did you already pass the trial?
[11:17] Belle
I couldn't do it.
[11:18] Belle
I can't open the door yet.
[11:22] Adonis
Knowing you, you'll find a way soon enough.
[11:25] Belle
I'm honestly relieved to hear you say that.
[11:28] Belle
I'm feeling pretty stumped here.
[11:31] Belle
You smell like blood.
[11:33] Adonis
All solists do.
[11:36] Adonis
But for some reason...
[11:38] Adonis
you smell nice, even when you reek of blood.
[11:41] Belle
Doofus.
[11:44] Adonis
Did you see the key?
[11:46] Adonis
I can't help thinking
it's a tool for exiling yourself.
[11:52] Adonis
It hurts so much.
[11:55] Adonis
Before I know it,
everything around me goes dark,
[11:58] Adonis
and I can't even use my
hands to feel my way.
[12:02] Belle
You know, your dad said that
[12:05] Belle
if you believe you can see in the
dark and trust in that,
[12:09] Belle
feeling where the current leads,
[12:13] Belle
something will appear to guide you.
[12:17] Adonis
Thanks.
[12:18] Belle
Adonis...
[12:19] Adonis
I'd like to try fighting back my own way.
[12:35] Belle
I'll be waiting in your room.

Behold.
[13:56] Evil King
Can you see the fruits
of your swordplay behind you?
[14:02] Adonis
There's no way...
[14:04] Good King
The Ashes of the Tried are scattered
[14:07] Good King
so that the divine tree may grow
branches and support its roots.
[14:12] Evil King
Only after infecting solists as deathly ashes
can they become sacred.
[14:20] Good King
A cancerous sword is steel whose
cells multiply without limit.
[14:26] Evil King
Through quietus, it dies a death
and bestows eternal survival.
[14:33] Good King
Due to your curse,
you were born an outsider.

you seek into the divine harmony.

It doesn't rot?!
[15:08] Adonis
That can't be!
[15:10] Adonis
I decide what I want!
[15:18] Adonis
What kind of trick are you trying to play?!
[15:20] Good King
You just beheld yourself, harmonized.
[15:26] Evil King
You just touched yourself, mechanized.
[15:32] Kings
Under the divine tree, you shall
become one of our god's records.
[15:37] Adonis
A record?
[15:38] Good King
All your memories will be discarded
and your being converted to a record.
[15:44] Evil King
Then you will give yourself
to eternal survival,
[15:50] Evil King
and join our god at the divine tree's
root as a blue priest of the chronicle.
[16:00] Evil King
Behold.
[16:02] Evil King
They offered themselves
to our god at your hand.
[16:06] Evil King
Witness them modeled.

There is but one way out.
[17:09] Adonis
I don't have one...
[17:11] Adonis
I don't have a reason to go on a journey.

[17:53] Adonis
I don't have... anything.

I was so sure I could take any
trial they threw at me head-on.
[18:22] Belle
Don't tell me...
[18:23] Adonis
My eldest brother is dead.
[18:26] Belle
Adonis.
[18:28] Adonis
The miasma of death ate away at him.
[18:31] Adonis
That's the price our family pays
for guarding the Katakombe.
[18:35] Adonis
I couldn't do it.
[18:37] Adonis
No surprise there.
[18:39] Belle
I see.
[18:42] Adonis
Belle...
[18:43] Adonis
Save me, Belle.
[18:46] Belle
What do you mean?
[18:51] Belle
Hey.
[18:52] Adonis
Why am I the only thing
my hands won't wither?
[18:57] Adonis
My mother died when I was born.
[19:01] Adonis
My touch killed her from within.
[19:04] Adonis
So I've never known a mother's warmth.
[19:09] Adonis
I don't know what warmth is...
[19:11] Adonis
even though I'm so cold.
[19:14] Adonis
I'm a partial corpse.
[19:16] Adonis
I've only lived so I can fully die
without ever being really alive.
[19:22] Adonis
Today, I learned where the dead
go to their eternal rest.
[19:26] Adonis
It's the last place I ever
want to be dragged off to.
[19:31] Adonis
But I've got no way left to fight it.
[19:34] Belle
Isn't there anything I can do for you?
[19:38] Adonis
Can you cut me?
[19:42] Belle
Of course I can't.
[19:44] Adonis
Belle, fight me.
[19:47] Belle
What for?
[19:48] Adonis
The door to journeys isn't
big enough for two.
[19:52] Belle
That's not what I'm asking!
[19:54] Belle
Don't force a shitty role on me!
[20:00] Belle
Stop.
[20:02] Adonis
Do my hands scare you?
[20:04] Belle
Not one bit.
[20:05] Adonis
Then...
[20:07] Belle
We haven't fallen in love.
[20:08] Adonis
What?
[20:09] Belle
We haven't fallen for each other yet.
[20:12] Belle
Neither one of us.
[20:15] Adonis
I don't care.
[20:17] Adonis
I've never felt anything
like that in my life.
[20:21] Adonis
I don't think I ever could.

But who—

[00:58] Adonis
What's this?
[01:03] Adonis
I can't! My hands will...
[01:18] Rusty Nail
Nowhere...
[01:22] Adonis
What is this thing?!
[01:24] Dram
Your sword, Adonis the Question.
[01:28] Dram
I made it, and not even
I could grasp its true form.
[01:35] Dram
But your form guides it.
[01:38] Adonis
You made this?
[01:42] Dram
I am Dram,
[01:45] Dram
the swordwright who shaped Runding.
[01:47] Adonis
I knew it!
[01:49] Dram
That sword strives to gain greater
power through meeting you.
[01:55] Dram
The ever-withering force of death.
[01:59] Adonis
The force of death...
[02:01] Dram
Rusty Nail is a fitting
instrument for you to play.
[02:06] Dram
That is the name of the form
I saw in its steel.
[02:10] Adonis
Rusty Nail...
[02:14] Adonis
This is my sword.
[02:17] Adonis
This monster of a sword... is mine?
[02:21] Adonis
The first sword that's really mine!
[02:34] Sian
Give me one reason I should teach this lout.
[02:39] Dram
No one else can.
[02:41] Dram
I'd like you to stake your pride
as an Enola on this job,
[02:45] Dram
Sian.
[02:47] Adonis
Sian Lablac?
[02:51] Sian
Submit to me, starting now.
[02:54] Sian
I'll teach you how to swing that sword.
[03:59] Bennett
Oh? Now this is a surprise.
[04:03] Bennett
We hadn't heard from you in so
long we were getting worried.
[04:06] Bennett
Come on in.
[04:09] Bennett
Belle?
[04:11] Belle
I couldn't do it.
[04:13] Gwyn
The door to journeys must be
a real tough nut to crack.
[04:17] Belle
Gwyn, when's the next battle?
[04:21] Gwyn
It starts in three days.
[04:23] Gwyn
We'll be fighting over farmland. Why?
[04:26] Belle
I want you to include me.
[04:28] Gwyn
You, Belle?
[04:29] Gwyn
What brought this on?
[04:31] Belle
I want to swing my sword.
[04:37] Gwyn
She looks white as a sheet,
[04:39] Gwyn
and she's still looking for a swordfight?
[04:42] Gwyn
There's always some love affair
at the bottom of such things.
[04:46] Bennett
What do you have to sulk about?
[04:49] Bennett
You've got that foulmouthed
Underdog girl, remember?
[04:53] Gwyn
And you never stick to one partner.
[04:56] Gwyn
You've got nothing to hold over my head.
[05:00] Bennett
She's special, that girl.
[05:04] Bennett
You can't peg her age.
She's free of all external markers, too.
[05:09] Bennett
Beauty and ugliness no longer apply.
[05:12] Bennett
I'm almost jealous of her.
[05:16] Gwyn
She's after a companion
to go journeying with her,
[05:20] Gwyn
certainly not some passing fling.
[05:23] Bennett
I know that!
[05:25] Bennett
And no one can stick it out by her side
while she's gearing up to leave.
[05:31] Gwyn
Adonis signed up for one
hell of a responsibility.
[05:35] Bennett
Are you going to tell her
about your little plan?
[05:40] Gwyn
If she wants a traveling companion,
I want to show her
[05:46] Gwyn
that we can become something like
nomads without leaving Park City.
[06:05] Mist
Gwyn!
[06:07] Mist
Today, we settle things once and for all!
[06:10] Mist
I hope you're ready!
[06:14] Bennett
I see you two haven't changed.
[06:16] Gwyn
If I lose here, I join the Underdogs tomorrow.
[06:21] Bennett
Honestly, could you respect the rules
of Park City any less?
[06:24] Gwyn
Now then...
[06:26] Gwyn
You're up, Belle!
[06:28] Gwyn
I bet you're sick of waiting!
[06:29] Belle
Well, yeah.
[06:41] Belle
My body can't keep up with me.
[06:44] Belle
I'm rustier than I thought.
[06:52] Belle
My sword feels heavy.
[06:56] Belle
Why do I feel so powerless?
[06:59] Adonis
Can you?
[07:01] Adonis
Can you cut me?
[07:03] Belle
You bet I can!
[07:18] Belle
I'll kill you!
[07:32] Sian
First off, cough up all
those swords you stole.
[07:39] Sian
Well, I'll be.
[07:41] Sian
No wonder you've got people out for you.
[07:45] Sian
Okay, start by doubting even your doubts.
[07:49] Sian
You'll find your roots in that.
[07:51] Adonis
What?
[07:52] Sian
I'm telling you to break every blade
here with your hands and that sword.
[07:58] Sian
You'll never beat my daughter
in this sorry state.
[08:04] Adonis
What?!
[08:10] Adonis
M-My sword!
[08:12] Adonis
M-M-My...
[08:18] Sian
Don't panic, fool. Look closer.
[08:22] Sian
That sword withers without end.
[08:25] Sian
Don't get attached to a mere shell.
[08:30] Adonis
Just now, I felt like the sword
smiled at me a little.
[08:35] Sian
Glad to hear it.
[08:37] Sian
Now keep that spirit and come at me.
[08:49] Rusty Nail
Nowhere...
[09:02] Bennett
She's like a storm raging without a sound.
[09:05] Bennett
That's not Belle.
[09:07] Bennett
The real Belle has sunk somewhere deep below.
[09:11] Gwyn
And she'll drown if she stays there.
[09:15] Bennett
How can you be so calm?
[09:19] Gwyn
Say, Bennett,
[09:20] Gwyn
can you still see with that eye?
[09:24] Gwyn
Barely. Why?
[09:27] Gwyn
All mermaids act as guardian spirits
[09:30] Gwyn
in the mental plane counterpart to our world.
[09:36] Gwyn
That's the real reason you
reflect the minds of others,
[09:42] Gwyn
and why mermaids are
always both male and female.
[09:47] Bennett
But what can I do now?
[09:50] Bennett
I'm a half-baked mermaid,
stuck living out my life as a man.
[09:55] Gwyn
I wouldn't say that.
[09:57] Gwyn
Take this eye injury of yours.
[10:00] Gwyn
Have you ever thought about how mermaids'
physical wounds link to mental ones,
[10:04] Gwyn
and to your male and female selves?
[10:10] Bennett
Are you saying I should...
[10:13] Gwyn
No one else can do it.
[10:16] Gwyn
You can't tell me you don't know why
Belle only ever visits your place.
[10:28] Sian
That's one sword down.
[10:31] Sian
I'd call this a decent start.
[10:35] Sian
Eat and sleep. We start early tomorrow.
[10:38] Sian
Got that?
[10:44] Adonis
I'll kill you one day...
[11:00] Adonis
How much do you know about me?
[11:05] Dram
I grasped everything about you
when you turned up here.
[11:10] Adonis
How could you make this sword
without knowing me?
[11:15] Dram
I merely give the future form in steel.
[11:19] Adonis
The future?
[11:21] Dram
Steel takes the shape of a sword—its future.
[11:26] Dram
The sword draws in its wielder
and seeks to assume a fitting form.
[11:32] Adonis
Does that include Belle's Runding?
[11:38] Dram
Take a soak in the bath before you rest.
[11:41] Dram
I added medicine to heal your wounds.
[11:45] Dram
If you want a lullaby,
[11:47] Dram
I'll start telling you more tomorrow.
[11:54] Sian
Listen to the voice of the steel!
[11:56] Adonis
Damn it!
[11:56] Sian
Consider that sword your soulmate!
[12:00] Sian
Don't think of it as just a tool!
[12:07] Adonis
Kill me.
[12:09] Adonis
I'll take you out someday.
[12:11] Adonis
End me while you can.
[12:13] Adonis
Kill me!
[12:16] Sian
"The answer to our prayers," huh?
[12:18] Adonis
Why did you agree to instruct me?
[12:21] Sian
Because I'm an Enola.
[12:24] Sian
The form of my curse forces me to do so.
[12:31] (Flashback) Gaff
I'll carry on your teachings
for my brother as well as myself.
[12:36] (Flashback) Gaff
So please...
[12:37] (Flashback) Sian
Gaff.
[12:39] (Flashback) Gaff
Meister, continue our lessons!
[12:43] Sian
I made a mistake.
[12:46] Sian
I became a teacher to escape
my birth as Prince Fatal,
[12:51] Sian
but my swordplay felt like a deception,
[12:53] Sian
and I directed my frustrations
at the next Prince Fatal.
[13:09] (Flashback) Sian
This sword...
[13:12] (Flashback) Dram
Can you read it?
[13:16] (Flashback) Sian
"Enola."
[13:18] (Flashback) Dram
I've been waiting for you...
[13:22] (Flashback) Dram
for such a long, long time.
[13:27] Dram
That was me.
[13:30] Dram
Back when I only knew my male self,
[13:35] Dram
I came to Park City to find
the other side of me.
[13:39] Dram
There, I met a man named Gibson,
[13:42] Dram
who helped me while I
apprenticed as a swordwright.
[13:46] Dram
But I never awakened as a woman
while I was living with him.
[13:53] (Flashback) Sian
What a magnificent sword.
[13:55] (Flashback) Sian
With skills like yours,
[13:56] (Flashback) Sian
I hope you'll come to the castle.
[13:59] (Flashback) Dram
There, I shall entrust the shape
of the future to steel.
[14:12] (Flashback) Dram
Gibson...
[14:15] (Flashback) Gibson
Be happy.
[14:21] (Flashback) Sian
Are you really sure about this?
[14:25] (Flashback) Dram
I knew that I'd eventually have to betray
[14:28] (Flashback) Dram
either the person I care for most
[14:32] (Flashback) Dram
or the feelings that mean the most to me.
[14:50] (Flashback) Dram
Take me with you...
[14:54] (Flashback) Dram
to where the future I ought to shape is.
[15:00] (Flashback) Sian
King Rawhide has given a direct order.
[15:02] (Flashback) Sian
He wants you to carve steel
from the divine tree
[15:06] (Flashback) Sian
and fashion swords for the priesthood.
[15:09] (Flashback) Dram
What future will the divine tree show?
[15:17] (Flashback) Dram
Visions of ruin!
[15:19] (Flashback) Dram
Sacrifice for the sake of creation!
[15:21] (Flashback) Dram
It's rejecting me.
[15:24] (Flashback) Dram
Who are you waiting for?!
[15:30] Sian
Dram saw through the divine
tree's true nature at a glance.
[15:35] Sian
It left her no choice but to accept
divine rule as the Princess Laideronette.
[15:42] (Flashback) Solist
A Nidhogg has appeared!
[15:44] (Flashback) Solist
Some solist's axe consumed his soul!
[15:47] (Flashback) Sian
Who?! What's his name?
[15:49] (Flashback) Solist
Gibson.
[15:51] (Flashback) Dram
I made that sword!
[15:54] (Flashback) Dram
You're telling me it infected Gibson's soul?!
[15:57] (Flashback) Dram
Show me!
[15:58] (Flashback) Dram
Let me see Gibson's sword!
[16:14] (Flashback) Dram
It's that tree! The divine tree!
[16:17] (Flashback) Dram
Look at how warped it's become!
[16:22] (Flashback) Dram
The Ashes of the Tried...
[16:25] (Flashback) Dram
They're what turned Gibson's sword into that.
[16:29] (Flashback) Dram
You gave him the ashes?
[16:32] (Flashback) Dram
I see.
[16:34] (Flashback) Dram
That god's true power is erasing the future.
[16:40] (Flashback) Dram
I've been a fool not to realize it before now.
[16:46] Sian
After that,
[16:49] Sian
every sword Dram wrought came out abnormal.
[16:54] Sian
Blades no one could wield,
spells no one understood,
[16:58] Sian
designs that defied all comprehension...
[17:01] Sian
About the only decent one
[17:03] Sian
was the sword she gave to Gaff.
[17:06] Sian
And Dram carved the spells she engraved
on her swords into her own body.
[17:14] Dram
That was when I started hearing the voices.
[17:18] Dram
Despair for the present
and endless hope for the future.
[17:22] Shadows
Nowhere....
[17:23] Dram
Their hunger drew me to the darkness...
[17:30] Dram
As it did you.
[17:39] Adonis
What exactly are you people
trying to make me do?
[17:43] Sian
We need someone to doubt reason.
[17:47] Adonis
And just what is a "girl of reason," anyway?
SIGN "The Girl of Reason"
[17:51] Sian
The reason that exists
all throughout this world...
[17:55] Sian
She will demolish our ancient order
and bring a new world into being.
[18:01] Sian
She was also the immediate
impetus for my own journey.
[18:06] (Flashback) Sian
"The girl of reason"?
[18:08] Rabbitia
One of Denari Land's greatest mysteries.
SIGN Denari Land
[18:14] Sian
Guided by that revelation I received,
[18:17] Sian
I became a nomad.
[18:19] Sian
And at the end of my long journey,
I solved her riddle and raised her.
[18:24] Adonis
Belle, you mean?
[18:27] Sian
When I first laid eyes on Belle,
I felt the urge to kill.
[18:31] Sian
But I nevertheless resolved
to raise the girl of reason
[18:36] Sian
because she was waiting for me.
[18:39] Adonis
Don't tell me the
girl of reason is the gods'...
[18:42] Sian
Behind her lies the true god
who dispatched Deus Ex Machina
[18:46] Sian
to rule the realms of paradise
in the ancient age of gods.
[18:53] Sian
Discover the rest for yourself,
[18:56] Sian
unless you'd rather die here.
[19:02] Adonis
We're basically playing at being family.
[19:05] Adonis
Life would be so much easier if
playing house could save anyone.
[19:09] Adonis
You know the vision of the
future you left in Runding?
[19:13] Adonis
I want to see it, too.
[19:17] Dram
I made that sword of steel yet to ripen.
[19:21] Dram
It is forever being born.
[19:24] Dram
I made your sword of steel rusted to nothing.
[19:28] Dram
It is forever withering.
[19:31] Adonis
I think I understand
[19:33] Adonis
what you want me to do with
this sword. To that god...
[19:38] Adonis
and to Belle.
[19:41] Adonis
You'd better not touch my hands.
[19:44] Dram
Only because you define your curse that way.
[19:51] Dram
You are the wellspring of your curse.
[19:54] Dram
The true identity of what fills
your world with enmity and hate.
[20:03] Adonis
What?
[20:05] Adonis
You're telling me it was that simple?
[20:10] Adonis
I was born without a mother,
so I grew up without drinking mother's milk.
[20:18] Adonis
Without enough warmth.
[20:21] Dram
It's all right.
[20:48] Adonis
I've seen it.
[20:49] Sian
Oh?
[20:51] Adonis
I think I understand why I'm
the one to wield this sword.
[20:58] Sian
Come at me.
[21:29] Rusty Nail
Nowhere...
[21:34] Sian
The child we need.
[21:37] Adonis
To truly doubt has no meaning!
It doesn't even need a reason!
[21:43] Adonis
Whatever I question with this
sword just withers forever
[21:48] Adonis
as the darkness of the
future swallows it whole!
[21:54] Dram
I give you the fangs of the
Army of Insatiable Emptiness.
[21:59] Dram
Child of darkness,
[22:01] Dram
by welcoming you into its ranks, the army
will render its own theme unshakable.
[22:33] Adonis
Darkness turned out to be warmer than light.
[22:38] Adonis
That's the whole of my motif.
[22:41] Rusty Nail
Nowhere...
[22:47] Shadows
Nowhere...
[22:55] Shadows
Nowhere... Nowhere...
[23:09] (Flashback) Dram
You're waiting too...
[23:13] (Flashback) Dram
For the girl of reason...
SIGN Tenth Movement
SIGN Spiral: Howling Sword, Rusty Nail
[23:25] Belle
Moonwork. "To do as the moon."
[23:27] Gwyn
I want to risk my life!
[23:28] Bennett
Stop it, Benedictine!
[23:30] Kitty
May I ask you a question?
[23:31] Adonis
...for you to come die at my hand.
[23:33] Sherry
I can never sing again!
[23:36] Young Belle?
Forever in the stone.
