[00:02] Dram
    ...nis.
[00:05] Dram
    ...donis.
[00:08] Dram
    Adonis.
[00:13] Adonis
    Where am I?
[00:26] Dram
    Greetings, Adonis the Question.
[00:36] Dram
    Welcome to the Army of Insatiable Emptiness.
[00:45] Adonis
    Who are you?
[00:48] Dram
    I've been waiting for you.
[00:51] Dram
    Both I and that sword there.
[00:54] Adonis
    What sword?
[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.
