    AVAN, THE HERO
[01:52] ---
    This is a story of Avan, the Hero...
[01:56] ---
    from the days of his youth
    as a member of the Order of Carl.

[02:06] ---
    The time has come!
[02:09] ---
    It is time to grasp the world
    in my hands!
[02:17] ---
    Go forth, my monsters!
[02:20] ---
    Burn their towns! Wreck their countries!
[02:23] ---
    Wipe out the pathetic humans!
[02:29] ---
    Against the mighty Dark Lord Hadlar
    and his monster legion...

[02:33] ---
    the humans could do nothing
    but tremble in fear.

[02:39] ---
    But one kingdom stood resolute
    in the face of the Dark Army's invasion.

[02:46] ---
    Under their new lead knight, Roka...
[02:50] ---
    the elite Order of Carl faced
    the Dark Army as an unparalleled force.

[02:58] ---
    Curse you, Carl Kingdom!
[03:06] ---
    Oh!
[03:09] ---
    It's Princess Flora!
[03:13] ---
    Everyone, hear me!
[03:17] ---
    No matter how much the Dark Army
    tramples our world and burns our towns,
[03:22] ---
    there is nothing to fear!
[03:25] ---
    The Dark Lord is the one who fears!
[03:29] ---
    For we humans have the power to unite!
[03:33] ---
    That is why I will join in the fight!
[03:38] ---
    Together with our proud Order of Carl!
[03:41] ---
    The Princess is so brave!
[03:43] ---
    We'll fight, too!
[03:46] ---
    In place of its bedridden king,
    Princess Flora led Carl Kingdom.

[03:53] ---
    With her beauty and courage,
[03:56] ---
    Flora was a goddess of hope
    to the world.

[04:06] ---
    Well spoken, Princess.
[04:09] ---
    I'm merely doing my job.
[04:12] ---
    It's you who should be praised.
[04:14] ---
    Along with the Order.
[04:16] ---
    Speaking of the Order,
    I see he's missing again.
[04:20] ---
    Avan!
[04:23] ---
    I see Avan is his usual self.
[04:26] ---
    I will go fetch him!
[04:28] ---
    How dare he skip out on
    the Princess's public appearance!
[04:32] ---
    It's okay, Roka!
[04:35] ---
    No it's not! I'll go discipline him!
[04:38] ---
    I know exactly where he is!
[04:43] ---
    Hmm. Something's missing.
[04:46] ---
    This soup is no good.
[04:48] ---
    Oh no! But I made it for you, Sir Avan!
[04:53] ---
    The problem is in the flavoring.
[04:56] ---
    If you grind a Feverfew stem
    and mix it in, it should come together.
[05:03] ---
    The Feverfew is good for illness
    and injuries, plus it's quite nutritious.
[05:09] ---
    For our secret flavor,
    we add a pinch of Seeds of Agility.
[05:15] ---
    You know so much, Sir Avan!
[05:18] ---
    Could you taste my soup next time?
[05:21] ---
    Avan!
[05:22] ---
    Oh my, Roka. Can I help you?
[05:25] ---
    Stop playing innocent!
[05:27] ---
    You're just in time.
    Some bread with this soup is...
[05:31] ---
    Come on!
[05:34] ---
    No! Sir Avan!
[05:39] ---
    Honestly, what is with you?!
[05:42] ---
    You skipped guard duty
    for a cooking class?!
[05:46] ---
    I apologize for that.
[05:48] ---
    But as the strongest in the Order,
    you're enough of a bodyguard.
[05:55] ---
    Improving the food that everyone eats
[05:58] ---
    is a much better way for me
    to serve the country.
[06:08] ---
    You're my friend, but I have no idea
    why you were chosen for the Order of Carl.
[06:13] ---
    Probably because I study.
[06:15] ---
    The Zinuar family comes from
    a long line of scholars.
[06:20] ---
    Listen up! We're in the age of war now!
[06:24] ---
    There's no telling when the Dark Lord
    will target our country!
[06:29] ---
    You're quite right.
[06:31] ---
    There's no point in just studying
    and being fawned over by girls!
[06:36] ---
    You have to practice your sword skills!
[06:38] ---
    Yes that's important, but surely
    you intend to have a family someday.
[06:43] ---
    You might have an adorable child
    who takes after you.
[06:47] ---
    If you don't at least know how to cook...
[06:51] ---
    Hah! I'm devoting my life to the sword!
    I don't need a family!
[06:55] ---
    Are you sure about that?
[06:58] ---
    You'll regret it.
[07:00] ---
    If I ever get married,
    I'll run across the entire country naked!
[07:08] ---
    Listen, at least practice
    so you can defend yourself!
[07:13] ---
    Your stance may need work,
    but you can at least practice swinging!
[07:20] ---
    I understand, Roka.
[07:23] ---
    As you said...
[07:27] ---
    a war is coming.
[07:31] ---
    What's wrong, Princess?!
[07:34] ---
    What is this?!
[07:35] ---
    Blood writing just appeared!
[07:37] ---
    What language is this?!
[07:39] ---
    It's the Darkling Language.
[07:42] ---
    It's a communication spell
    sent through mirrors.
[07:46] ---
    The writing says this...
[07:49] ---
    "Tonight, I shall come
    to claim the Princess...
[07:52] ---
    as a sacrifice to
    the God of the Underworld.
[07:56] ---
    The Dark Lord."
[07:57] ---
    What?!
[07:58] ---
    The Dark Lord wants the Princess?!
[07:59] ---
    This is an emergency! Increase our security!
[08:01] ---
    Avan...
[08:08] ---
    Captain Roka, castle security
    is on high alert!
[08:12] ---
    Good!
[08:13] ---
    Okay, Dark Lord! Come if you dare!
[08:17] ---
    Roka, where is Avan?
[08:20] ---
    Avan?
[08:21] ---
    He said he had important business
    and went off into the woods.
[08:26] ---
    The woods?
[08:28] ---
    There's nothing more important
    than your safety!
[08:32] ---
    I promise we'll protect you
    even without that coward!
[08:37] ---
    You have nothing to fear!
[08:40] ---
    Damn you, stupid Avan!
[08:43] ---
    You may not be strong,
    but I never thought you'd run away!

[08:47] ---
    As of today, you and I are through!
[08:57] ---
    Look at that!
[09:01] ---
    What is that light?!
[09:08] ---
    It's the Dark Lord!
[09:10] ---
    Everyone at the ready!
[09:14] ---
    You filth.
[09:15] ---
    I summon you, my monsters!
[09:17] ---
    Gush!
[09:19] ---
    Thrash the humans!
[09:36] ---
    Captain! Monsters are attacking!
[09:38] ---
    What?! Where did they come from?!
[09:49] ---
    Dammit!
[09:56] ---
    Damn! He's so powerful!
[09:59] ---
    Princess Flora.
[10:02] ---
    I have come to claim you!
[10:06] ---
    Behold! The Dark Lord himself!
[10:10] ---
    Dark Lord, I know what you're up to!
[10:14] ---
    A sacrifice to the God of the Underworld
    is just a cover story!
[10:19] ---
    Oh?
[10:20] ---
    By stealing me away through any means...
[10:24] ---
    you intend to demoralize my people
    and hasten your domination of the world!
[10:31] ---
    Very sharp!
[10:32] ---
    You're young, but you're still a ruler.
[10:35] ---
    This will save me a lot of trouble.
[10:39] ---
    Now kneel before me!
[10:42] ---
    I refuse!
[10:48] ---
    If you'd like I can kill you right here!
[10:57] ---
    Princess!
[10:59] ---
    Will it be submission or death?
[11:02] ---
    Which do you prefer?
[11:06] ---
    Come! Make your choice!
[11:10] ---
    That's no good.
[11:18] ---
    Avan!
[11:20] ---
    Avan!
[11:25] ---
    SIZZLE
    HEAT-TYPE SPELL
[11:30] ---
    KABOOM
    EXTREME-EXPLOSION SPELL
[11:34] ---
    If you'd like I can kill you right here!
[11:40] ---
    Princess!
[11:41] ---
    Will it be submission or death?
[11:44] ---
    Which do you prefer?
[11:48] ---
    Come! Make your choice!
[11:52] ---
    That's no good.
[12:00] ---
    Avan!
[12:02] ---
    Who are you?
[12:04] ---
    Mister Dark Lord.
[12:06] ---
    You need to be more gentle
    when trying to seduce a lady.
[12:13] ---
    Save me your nonsense!
[12:26] ---
    Hmm. This Magic Bullet Gun
    needs more work.
[12:37] ---
    What wrong?!
[12:39] ---
    What have you done?!
[12:42] ---
    Oh, I just sprinkled it with
    a little Coagulant.
[12:47] ---
    Coagulant?
[12:49] ---
    It's a little secret compound I cooked up.
[12:53] ---
    Monsters sprinkled with it
    lose their minds and attack each other.
[13:00] ---
    The monsters outside
    are fighting each other!
[13:03] ---
    I sprinkled some on the ones outside, too.
[13:07] ---
    And now your trusty monster legion
    has been rendered useless.
[13:14] ---
    I see! He went to the forest
    to find Poison Moths!

[13:18] ---
    Not bad, you trickster!
[13:29] ---
    You worm! You dare humiliate me
    with your conniving trickery?!
[13:35] ---
    You'll pay for that!
[13:37] ---
    I'll pay for that?
[13:42] ---
    What?
[13:44] ---
    I sense from this frail man... Aura?!
[13:48] ---
    You're the one
    who's going to pay, Dark Lord!
[13:56] ---
    I've seen that before!
[13:58] ---
    That expression on Avan's face!
[14:01] ---
    It was three years ago.
[14:04] ---
    In my youthful lust for adventure
    I snuck out of the castle alone.

[14:30] ---
    Avan was the one who rescued me when
    I was attacked by a monster in the forest.

[14:40] ---
    I told him who I was
    and recommended him to the Order.

[14:47] ---
    And yet, once he joined,
    he began wearing those dud glasses...

[14:52] ---
    and acted as though
    he couldn't fight at all.

[14:57] ---
    It was like he was suppressing
    his immense power.

[15:02] ---
    But I could tell.
[15:04] ---
    He acted that way because
    he didn't want to show off.

[15:11] ---
    I'm sorry, Princess.
    But I'm still a member of the Order.
[15:16] ---
    Should the need arise, I shall use all my
    power to protect you and Carl Kingdom.
[15:20] ---
    But until that time comes...
[15:23] ---
    I understand.
[15:24] ---
    I will keep what I know
    about you a secret.
[15:31] ---
    You're saying the time has come, Avan?!
[15:38] ---
    You fool! You're not
    picking a fight with me, are you?
[15:44] ---
    I don't want to fight.
[15:46] ---
    However...
[15:47] ---
    I can't sit by and watch someone
    hurt others for their own ambitions.
[15:56] ---
    Don't assume I'm that naive!
[16:02] ---
    Enough from you!
[16:03] ---
    Frizzle!
[16:06] ---
    What?!
[16:08] ---
    He can use spells?!
[16:11] ---
    Sizzle!
[16:14] ---
    For a human,
    he uses highly advanced magic!

[16:21] ---
    Wow! I never knew Avan was that strong!
[16:24] ---
    You can do it, Avan!
[16:30] ---
    What?!
[16:43] ---
    It's over! Kafrizz!
[16:50] ---
    Not a bad show.
    But you're still just a human!
[16:55] ---
    Compared to my magic,
    yours is a trivial thing!
[17:02] ---
    He can even use Kaboom?!
[17:05] ---
    No! If I dodge, he'll hit the Princess!
[17:17] ---
    Fool! You'd choose your own death?!
[17:28] ---
    In that case... Die!
[17:43] ---
    You filth!
[17:49] ---
    Roka!
[17:51] ---
    I got him good.
[17:53] ---
    He can't cast that spell now, can he?
[17:59] ---
    Very well! A Boom spell will suffice!
[18:03] ---
    I'll reduce you all to ash!
[18:06] ---
    You dare...
[18:08] ---
    You dare hurt my friend!
[18:10] ---
    You'll pay for that!
[18:12] ---
    Boom!
[18:20] ---
    What is this blinding light?!
[18:33] ---
    He did it!
[18:34] ---
    Avan defeated the Dark Lord!
[18:39] ---
    Good going!
[18:43] ---
    No. The Dark Lord still lives.
[18:48] ---
    If he was really dead...
[18:52] ---
    that arm would crumble to ash.
[18:56] ---
    It's proof he's still alive.
[19:00] ---
    Very observant!
[19:03] ---
    I suppose I will retreat for now.
[19:08] ---
    But you won't defeat me
    with that paltry power! Ever!

[19:20] ---
    He's right.
[19:22] ---
    With my current power
    I can't defeat the Dark Lord.

[19:36] ---
    So you're leaving, Avan?
[19:39] ---
    This is your symbol of peace.
[19:43] ---
    Until the day you defeat the Dark Lord
    and save the world...
[19:48] ---
    I shall hold on to this.
[19:51] ---
    I'll try to hurry back.
[19:55] ---
    Take this as well.
[19:57] ---
    It's the Amulet of Carl
    which is passed down in the royal family.
[20:01] ---
    I'm sure it will help you someday.
[20:05] ---
    Well then.
[20:06] ---
    Please accept this.
[20:09] ---
    It's Mysticite that has been made
    using a Zinuar family secret process.
[20:15] ---
    I'm the only one left who can make these.
[20:20] ---
    You'd give me something so valuable?
    Are you sure?
[20:26] ---
    Consider it a trade.
[20:36] ---
    Roka!
[20:37] ---
    I'm coming with you, Avan!
[20:39] ---
    I need to pay the Dark Lord back
    for what he did!
[20:44] ---
    You can't! Without the captain of
    its Order, who will protect Carl Kingdom?
[20:51] ---
    It's fine! We can leave it to
    the ones that I've trained.
[20:55] ---
    Besides, we can't do much
    just defending ourselves.
[20:59] ---
    We need to go on the offensive!
[21:01] ---
    The best defense is a good offense!
[21:04] ---
    But there's no guarantee that we can win.
[21:08] ---
    We're facing the Dark Lord.
[21:11] ---
    I saw hope in
    that blade of light of yours.
[21:15] ---
    But that was by accident!
[21:18] ---
    Coincidental or still incomplete,
    it still drove the Dark Lord back!
[21:24] ---
    I believe in that light!
[21:38] ---
    After much intense training,
    that blinding strike...

[21:43] ---
    was completed to become the Avan Strash.
[21:53] ---
    Avan...
[21:55] ---
    Strash!
[22:07] ---
    To be honest I was clumsy
[22:07] ---

    And it took me forever to get here

    I used even loneliness as a weapon

    I searched the dungeon for a simple answer

    Even if I cast aside

    I just want to be there for you

    To call out your name

    To call out your name

    I shake off the clinging night
