**[00:14] Gart**
Clevatess.
**[00:17] Gart**
I sense an incredible power.
So why doesn't he come out?
**[00:29] Gart**
The shell is very powerful, it seems.
**[00:32] Rhodes**
Hey, you!
**[00:33] Rhodes**
I saw you come down from the sky.
**[00:35] Rhodes**
Is that your magic?
**[00:38] Rhodes**
I'm Rhode Royes, a division
commander with the Eslinn army.
**[00:43] Rhodes**
Wait!
**[00:44] Rhodes**
Even as we speak, General Drel
is attacking the capital city of Hiden!
**[00:49] Rhodes**
Please, take me to him!
**[00:53] Rhodes**
If you can fly...
**[00:55] Gart**
I have good eyesight.
**[00:57] Gart**
I saw you challenge him
and lose from a distance.
**[01:00] Gart**
What will you do if you go there?
**[01:01] Gart**
You'll just die.
**[01:02] Rhodes**
But even so...!
**[01:04] Rhodes**
I can't just let the Hiden
royal forge be stolen!
**[01:09] Rhodes**
I can sense it...
**[01:11] Rhodes**
If that happens, it will be
the beginning of something terrible!
**[01:14] Gart**
"Something"?
**[01:16] Rhodes**
I don't know what that is,
**[01:18] Rhodes**
but I know he's trying
to use magic to change the world.
**[01:22] Gart**
*"Magic."*
**[01:23] (Flashback) Zavthier**
This is a foul omen.
**[01:26] Gart**
*What Zavthier feared?*
**[01:29] Rhodes**
Please! There's no time!
**[01:32] Rhodes**
Take me to Hiderat!
**[01:34] Gart**
*Should I look into it, using this human?*
**[01:39] Gart**
*Like Klen did?*
**[01:42] Gart**
Very well.
**[01:43] Gart**
My name is Gart. I'll take you there.
**[01:46] Rhodes**
Really?
**[01:47] Gart**
But I have conditions.
**[01:51] Gart**
When we land, help me.
**[01:53] Gart**
And ask no questions about me.
**[01:56] Gart**
Those are my conditions.
**[01:58] Rhodes**
And if I should break them?
**[01:59] Gart**
I'll kill you.
**[02:03] Rhodes**
I can't do anything to betray Eslinn.
**[02:08] Rhodes**
But I accept!
**[02:10] Rhodes**
If I should break them, go ahead and kill me.
**[02:13] Gart**
Then we have a deal.
**[02:15] Gart**
I'm going to use what you call "magic."
**[02:21] Rhodes**
That form...
**[02:23] Gart**
Grab on.
**[02:25] Rhodes**
W-Wait!
**[02:30] Rhodes**
Your magic is incredible.
**[02:34] Gart**
*"Magic" is a convenient word.*
**[02:36] Gart**
* They'll believe anything is magic*
* as long as I tell them it is.*
**[02:40] Gart**
* I guess it's just not something*
* humanity's familiar with, then.*

**[04:23] Klen**
Did anything change?
***SIGN*** Episode 10:
Margo and Drel
**[04:25] Nelluru**
No, not really...
**[04:28] Klen**
So just holding up his hand
isn't enough to open it...
**[04:32] Klen**
I'll put him on it, maybe.
**[04:37] Klen**
Go ahead. Let it out.
**[04:42] Nelluru**
Okay, I'll clean you up.
**[04:44] Klen**
Is something missing?
**[04:47] Klen**
I don't know if it's okay
to break it open, either.
**[04:52] Klen**
Nelluru, I'm going to see
if I can enter from above.
**[04:55] Klen**
Wait here with him.
**[04:57] Nelluru**
Okay.
**[04:58] Klen**
All right.
**[05:05] Klen**
The heat is incredible.
**[05:08] Klen**
A normal dark beast would be burnt to ash
before they hit the bottom.
**[05:12] Klen**
A normal one would, yes.
**[05:21] Nelluru**
It's okay.
**[05:23] Nelluru**
Master Klen will be back soon.
**[05:26] Nelluru**
Let's believe, and wait.
**[05:45] Klen**
I guess I wasn't able to
make it to the bottom myself.
**[05:49] Klen**
If I hadn't hidden in this
shadow, I might've burned up.
**[05:52] Klen**
Even the stones they used to
build it aren't normal.
**[05:56] Klen**
This isn't just ordinary heat.
**[05:59] Klen**
I'd like to look inside, but I doubt I can.
**[06:02] Klen**
What to do...
**[06:11] Klen**
Nelluru...
**[06:12] Klen**
It seems it wasn't Luna who opened it.
**[06:16] King of Hiden**
Yes.
**[06:21] King of Hiden**
It wasn't this child who opened the door.
**[06:31] Klen**
I didn't expect to be met
by a headless king.
**[06:47] Drel**
You're still nowhere near
the strength of your father,
**[06:50] Drel**
daughter of the sword master!
**[07:00] Drel**
How can you call yourself a hero
when you're so weak?!
**[07:09] Man**
Who is this? Is she on our side?
**[07:11] Alicia**
Damn it! He's strong, like I thought!
**[07:14] Alicia**
Where'd he go?
**[07:16] Alicia**
No!
**[07:17] Alicia**
He's heading for the forge!
**[07:19] Alicia**
I'll stop him!
**[07:28] T'ala**
Fire!
**[07:30] Drel**
A waste of my time.
**[07:33] Alicia**
Hidden Sword Rising Dragon!
**[07:40] Drel**
I was the one who taught
the sword master this technique.
**[07:45] Drel**
True Dragonfly Scythe Weasel!
**[07:51] T'ala**
Hero Alicia!
**[07:59] Drel**
So you survived that attack
with your limbs attached?
**[08:04] Drel**
I guess you are the sword master's daughter.
**[08:08] Alicia**
What happened between you and my dad?
**[08:13] Drel**
The sword master Margo was a friend who tried
to master the blade in the same school I did.
**[08:18] Drel**
And a foe who competed
with me for the position of hero.
**[08:24] Drel**
It seems you haven't heard.
**[08:26] Drel**
Then I'll tell you...
**[08:28] Drel**
how I became known as the Dragon Slayer,
**[08:32] Drel**
and how your father gave
up on becoming a hero!
**[08:41] Sign**
25 Years Ago
**[08:44] Sign**
Eslinn,
Capital City Esleburg
**[08:48] (Flashback) Man**
Did you hear?
**[08:49] (Flashback) Man**
The last two competitors are
from the same school?
**[08:51] (Flashback) Man**
It's the instructor and someone who studied
with him, who they say is a genius!
**[08:55] (Flashback) Man**
The sword instructor Drel,
who they say is the strongest...
**[08:58] (Flashback) Man**
And his opponent, Margo,
is said to be a one-in-a-thousand genius.
**[09:03] (Flashback) Man**
Which of them will get the first Regalia
the King of Hiden has forged in six years?
**[09:10] (Flashback) Drel**
Don't hold back, Margo.
**[09:13] (Flashback) Margo**
Of course. I don't think
I'll get the chance.
**[09:16] (Flashback) Man**
Begin!
**[09:29] (Flashback) Man**
The winner is Margo!
**[09:40] (Flashback) Drel**
If this tournament had been
held six months earlier...
**[09:43] (Flashback) Margo**
If you hadn't helped to train me,
I never could've been this strong.
**[09:48] (Flashback) Drel**
Just go get the Regalia.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Drel**
You're the hero.
**[09:53] (Flashback) Margo**
All right.
**[10:00] Drel**
*It's over...*
**[10:02] Drel**
*My path to becoming a hero.*
**[10:05] Drel**
*The man loved by the blade...*
**[10:08] Drel**
*He really is a genius.*
**[10:12] (Flashback) King of Eslinn**
Margo, you are now truly
the strongest swordsman in Edthea.
**[10:19] (Flashback) King of Eslinn**
As king of Eslinn,
**[10:21] (Flashback) King of Eslinn**
I bestow upon you the title of
"Sword Master," as well as a family name.
**[10:25] (Flashback) Margo**
You honor me, sire.
**[10:27] (Flashback) King of Eslinn**
You may now call yourself
"Sword Master" Margo Glenfall.
**[10:31] (Flashback) King of Eslinn**
And...
**[10:35] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
Rise, Sword Master.
**[10:39] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
From the moment you take this sword,
you must fulfill your duty as a hero.
**[10:47] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
Fight the dark beasts, protect humanity.
**[10:49] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
And someday defeat
the Four Lords of Dark Beasts,
**[10:52] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
and expand the world of man.
**[10:56] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
Are you ready for that?
**[10:58] (Flashback) Margo**
I am.
**[11:00] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
Then take this blade.
**[11:13] (Flashback) Margo**
Incredible...
**[11:15] (Flashback) Margo**
The power is overflowing...
**[11:17] (Flashback) Margo**
So this is a Regalia...
**[11:20] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
But this blade is incomplete.
**[11:22] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
You must finish it yourself.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Margo**
Finish it?
**[11:29] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
The first thing it slays...
**[11:32] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
that's what's important.
**[11:34] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
A Regalia holds a soul.
**[11:37] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
By absorbing the soul
of a defeated dark beast,
**[11:40] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
it gains eternal strength,
and something that makes it unique.
**[11:44] (Flashback) King of Hiden**
Choose what you will first defeat carefully.
**[11:55] (Flashback) Drel**
We'll put together an expedition force.
**[11:57] (Flashback) Margo**
Yes.
**[11:59] (Flashback) Margo**
If I go myself, I'll have to use my
blade against a weaker dark beast.
**[12:05] (Flashback) Margo**
I won't be able to be a hero
who reaches a Lord of Dark Beasts.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Margo**
I think a northern dragon
would be a good choice.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Drel**
A northern dragon? Are you insane, Margo?
**[12:18] (Flashback) Drel**
Those are servants of Vordin,
the Lord of Dark Beasts of the north.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Margo**
You're being loud, Drel.
**[12:31] (Flashback) Drel**
Everybody wants to know what you're
going to defeat with that sword first.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Drel**
But a dragon...
**[12:37] (Flashback) Drel**
They live beyond the isthmus,
in the Snowfield of the Dragon!
**[12:44] (Flashback) Drel**
You'll never make it
with an incomplete Regalia.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Margo**
That's why I have to go.
**[12:48] (Flashback) Margo**
I don't think I can defeat
a Lord of Dark Beasts with anything less.
**[12:53] (Flashback) Drel**
A Lord of Dark Beasts?!
**[12:54] (Flashback) Drel**
Are you serious about challenging one?
**[12:57] (Flashback) Drel**
Legends that no one has reached
for a thousand years...
**[13:00] (Flashback) Margo**
Of course.
**[13:03] Drel**
At that time, I didn't even half
believe in the hero traditions.
**[13:08] Drel**
I thought he was a fool
to challenge a Lord of Dark Beasts.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Margo**
Now that that's decided,
let's put together a party.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Margo**
You're coming too, right?
**[13:16] (Flashback) Drel**
Wait!
**[13:19] Drel**
But I knew Margo's
strength more than anyone.
**[13:23] Drel**
Looking at him, I was convinced.
**[13:27] Drel**
If the legends were true,
he was the only one who could do it.
**[13:33] (Flashback) Drel**
Oh, sorry.
**[13:36] (Flashback) Wizard**
Not at all.
**[13:38] (Flashback) Wizard**
May the mana guide your journey.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Drel**
Who are those guys?
**[13:47] (Flashback) Margo**
Magic users.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Drel**
Magic users? Like in the fairy tales?
**[13:53] (Flashback) Margo**
That's right. Unlike in
the traditions of Hiden,
**[13:56] (Flashback) Margo**
the heroes in the fairy tales learn magic
from magic users and become able to use it.
**[14:02] (Flashback) Margo**
Those guys are seriously trying to do
**[14:05] (Flashback) Margo**
impossible things like split
the earth and seas.
**[14:09] (Flashback) Drel**
Is that possible?
**[14:12] (Flashback) Margo**
For the moment, it's not
that much different than herbalism.
**[14:16] (Flashback) Margo**
But either way, they're not strong
enough to take on my journey.
**[14:23] Drel**
Eventually, we would come to learn...
**[14:28] Drel**
that the path was far harder
than we'd imagined,
**[14:31] Drel**
and that the dragons
were incredibly powerful.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Drel**
Here it comes!
**[14:41] (Flashback) Drel**
Flammable stomach acid?
**[14:45] (Flashback) Drel**
It's no good, Margo!
We're the only ones left!
**[14:48] (Flashback) Drel**
We need to withdraw!
**[14:49] (Flashback) Margo**
If we retreat, we'll never make it back!
**[14:51] (Flashback) Margo**
This is our only chance!
**[14:53] (Flashback) Drel**
But Margo, how...?
**[14:57] (Flashback) Margo**
Use the Rising Dragon on me!
**[15:00] (Flashback) Drel**
What?
**[15:01] (Flashback) Margo**
It's the only way
for me to get that high up!
**[15:05] (Flashback) Drel**
Don't blame me if you die!
**[15:09] (Flashback) Drel**
Fly!
**[15:14] (Flashback) Drel**
Shatter the dragon's wings!
**[15:18] (Flashback) Margo**
Singular Dragonfly!
**[15:24] (Flashback) Drel**
Okay!
**[15:32] Drel**
The battle that ensued was horrific.
**[15:36] Drel**
Even grounded, it was still a dragon.
**[15:39] Drel**
Its speed and destructive
power were incredible.
**[15:43] Drel**
And Margo, for his part,
**[15:44] Drel**
became stronger with each swing of his sword
and each blow that landed on him.
**[15:50] Drel**
It was all I could do to remain
standing, even at a distance.
**[15:53] Drel**
Just when I was starting to think
that he could even slay a dragon...
**[16:01] Drel**
it happened.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Margo**
Hidden Sword Rising Dragon!
**[16:07] Drel**
A stone hidden by
the snow delayed his technique,
**[16:12] Drel**
and the dragon didn't miss the opening.
**[16:21] Drel**
Along with his leg, his chance at victory...
**[16:23] Drel**
and his path to becoming a hero...
**[16:26] Drel**
were blown away.
**[16:30] Drel**
Drel!
**[16:52] Drel**
The next thing I knew,
the blade was in my hands.
**[17:15] (Flashback) Drel**
I-I defeated it!
**[17:20] (Flashback) Drel**
Look, Margo!
**[17:21] (Flashback) Drel**
I defeated it!
**[17:23] (Flashback) Drel**
I...
**[17:29] (Flashback) Drel**
What?
**[17:45] (Flashback) Drel**
The power's flowing into the sword...
**[17:54] (Flashback) Drel**
This is...
**[17:56] (Flashback) Drel**
a Regalia?
**[18:17] Drel**
*I can't move!*
**[18:19] Drel**
*This presence is...*
**[18:23] (Flashback) Vordin**
You carry it, don't you?
**[18:43] Drel**
The next thing I knew,
I was inside a massive footprint.
**[18:48] Drel**
I felt sheer terror.
**[18:51] Drel**
At the size of it...
**[18:54] Drel**
At the insanity of what was going on.
**[18:58] Drel**
And I also thought...
**[19:02] Drel**
of what use is a hero?
**[19:06] Drel**
I was saved by one of
our surviving comrades,
**[19:09] Drel**
and Margo and I made it back alive.
**[19:12] Drel**
What happened to Margo after that,
you, his daughter, know better than me.
**[19:18] Drel**
Even after they began to call me
the Dragon Slayer, my doubts didn't fade.
**[19:22] Drel**
If anything, they became certainty.
**[19:26] Drel**
The legend of the heroes was full of lies.
**[19:29] Drel**
It was being used to deceive us.
**[19:32] Drel**
The most important information
was being deliberately concealed from us.
**[19:35] Drel**
Instead, we had been given a method
that would never work.
**[19:39] Drel**
And only the kings of Hiden knew the truth.
**[19:45] T'ala**
No...
**[19:47] Alicia**
And you believe "magic" is what was hidden?
**[19:51] Drel**
Yes.
**[19:53] Drel**
The secrets of magic's deepest truths
are hidden in the Hiden forge.
**[19:58] Drel**
Ever since that day...
**[20:01] Drel**
the voice that whispers within me
has been telling me that.
**[20:05] Alicia**
Voice that whispers?
**[20:08] Drel**
So... don't get in my way!
**[20:19] Drel**
Summon Dead Dragon!
**[20:22] Alicia**
Dragon bones?
**[20:24] T'ala**
That's necromancy!
I've read about it in ancient legends.
**[20:27] Soldiers**
Flee, Princess!
**[20:29] Drel**
Claws of Deathly Dragon!
**[20:36] T'ala**
Hero Alicia!
**[20:41] T'ala**
Alicia!
**[20:42] Soldier**
You need to escape!
**[21:21] Alicia**
Damn...
**[21:23] Alicia**
This pain is something
I'll never get used to.
**[21:28] Alicia**
Drel's gone, huh?
**[21:30] Alicia**
But what he told me gave me the information
**[21:31] Alicia**
that Klen wanted to
know on who's behind this.
**[21:37] Alicia**
*Are you listening, Klen?*
**[21:39] Alicia**
*Klen?*
**[21:41] Alicia**
*Answer me, Klen!*
**[21:44] Klen**
Silence.
**[21:46] Klen**
I'm witnessing something
rather interesting here.
**[21:50] Klen**
I don't know why,
**[21:52] Klen**
but a headless king is about
to throw his own grandson into the forge.
