[00:26] Dolan
    As far as I can remember,
[00:30] Dolan
    I've never done anything that would
    make humans want to slay me.
[00:33] Dolan
    At times, I've even been their ally.
[00:38] Dolan
    Perhaps there are things that bind you...
[00:44] Dolan
    No excuses, then?
[00:55] Dolan
    Very well.
[00:59] Dolan
    I've lived a little too long...
[01:11] Dolan
    Perhaps it's a less than fitting
    end for an ancient, divine dragon
[01:15] Dolan
    that's been alive since the age of gods...
[01:19] Dolan
    But maybe the world can have one
    dragon meet its end like this.
[01:25] Dolan
    Oh, grim reapers, take my
    soul to the underworld,
[01:37] Dolan
    so that I may rest eternally...
[01:47] Golaon
    He's been born? You did it, Arsena!
[01:49] Maguru
    Shut up! You shouldn't be
    that loud around the mother!
[01:54] Arsena
    Look, his eyes are open already!
[01:58] Maguru
    Amazing! Perhaps he's gifted in some manner!
[02:03] Golaon
    Well, he's my son, after all!
[02:06] Arsena
    Hello, my baby. Your name is Dolan.
[02:12] Arsena
    I'm your mom, and this is your dad.
[02:15] Arsena
    And this is your big brother.
[02:36] Airi
    Dolan, let's go home!
[02:54] Airi
    What's wrong, Dolan?
[02:59] Dolan
    It's nothing, Airi.
[03:06] Dolan
    Come on, let's go.
SIGN    Goodbye, Dragon Life
[04:54] Dolan
    Verun, a small village on the north border
    of the continental kingdom of Arcrest.
[05:00] Dolan
    After I died as a dragon, by some strange
    fate I was born here, as a human.
[05:10] Dolan
    The only industry here is agriculture.
[05:14] Dolan
    Every day I go out into the fields and
    work hard to earn my daily bread.
[05:30] Dolan
    In the village,
    you're considered an adult at age 15,
[05:34] Dolan
    and you're expected to live on your own.
[05:38] Dolan
    I'm 16 now, so I left my home
    last year and now I live alone.
[05:47] Dylan
    Hey, Dolan. Tomorrow's the day you're
    going to investigate that swamp, right?
[05:53] Dolan
    Yeah.
[05:54] Dolan
    It's been a month since the lizards
    disappeared from the swamp.
[05:57] Dolan
    We have to do something.
[06:00] Dylan
    That's supposed to be the garrison's job.
[06:04] Dylan
    There's no reason for you to go.
[06:07] Dolan
    Brother, Captain Balan and the others have
    their hands full guarding the village.
[06:13] Dylan
    You sure you don't want me to go with you?
[06:16] Dolan
    Don't worry. I'm fine.
[06:19] Dolan
    I'm just going to check it out—
[06:22] Dolan
    There it is!
[06:23] Dylan
    It's a big one!
[06:30] Albert
    Hey, Dolan. Big catch today.
[06:33] Dolan
    Right?
[06:34] Malida
    This looks like quite a big meal.
[06:37] Malida
    Shouldn't you be preparing
    for tomorrow, though?
[06:40] Dolan
    I've been preparing little by
    little for the past several days.
[06:44] Dolan
    You helped me a lot by persuading
    the village chief and the others.
[06:47] Malida
    Well, you always help me with our training.
[06:52] Dolan
    Malida, Albert, are the
    two of you heading out?
[06:55] Malida
    Yes, we have a meeting about the next
    training session for the little ones.
[06:59] Albert
    Don't worry about us.
    Prioritize your investigation tomorrow.
[07:03] Dolan
    Thanks.
[07:05] Dolan
    There are a lot of monsters
    around Verun, as well as bandits.
[07:10] Dolan
    And there aren't enough soldiers to give
    the protection you'd find in a city.
[07:13] Dolan
    The villagers are expected
    to help protect themselves.
[07:19] Airi
    Dolan, it's magic practice
    day. Did you remember?
[07:23] Dolan
    Hey, Airi.
[07:25] Dolan
    Is it that time already?
[07:27] Dolan
    Did you come to get me?
[07:30] Airi
    I was out on an errand already.
[07:37] Dolan
    Laws of power, hear my voice.
[07:40] Dolan
    Become an arrow and pierce my foe.
[07:43] Dolan
    Energy bolt!
[07:49] Airi
    Wow!
[07:51] Maguru
    Yes, as always,
    your offensive magic is perfect.
[07:56] Dolan
    It's thanks to your teachings.
[07:58] Maguru
    Now we'll practice magical
    medicines, your worst subject.
[08:02] Maguru
    We'll spend a lot of time on it.
[08:04] Dolan
    Thank you, ma'am.
[08:17] Chief
    Dolan, allow me to introduce you.
[08:21] Dolan
    Chief?
[08:22] Chief
    This is Christina.
[08:24] Chief
    She'll be staying in our
    village for a while.
[08:28] Chief
    She's a young noble lady.
    Be on your best behavior.
[08:33] Christina
    I'm Christina. Nice to meet you.
[08:37] Dolan
    I'm Dolan.
[08:51] Dolan
    Christina, was it?
    She seems quite skilled...
[09:02] Dolan
    In the village, you risk
    freezing to death in winter,
[09:06] Dolan
    and it's incredibly hot in summer.
[09:13] Dolan
    I was shocked to find out humans
    lived in such a harsh environment.
[09:24] Marco
    Oh, Brother Dolan!
[09:28] Dolan
    Marco.
[09:29] Golaon
    You're back, huh?
[09:31] Arsena
    Welcome back.
[09:33] Dolan
    I'm back.
[09:34] Dolan
    I brought you this.
[09:36] Arsena
    Wow, look at it all.
[09:38] Arsena
    Thank you.
[09:45] Dolan
    Your cooking is always the best, Mom.
[09:51] Golaon
    Dolan, living on your own may be
    relaxing, but you must be lonely.
[09:56] Golaon
    Why not get a wife who's a
    good cook, like Dylan did?
[10:00] Dolan
    Brother says the same thing sometimes.
[10:03] Dolan
    But I think I want to enjoy the single
    life for a little while longer.
[10:08] Marco
    You're going to that
    swamp tomorrow, right?
[10:11] Dolan
    Yeah, the one where the
    lizards used to live.
[10:15] Arsena
    It's a long ways away,
    and isn't the road dangerous?
[10:19] Dolan
    I won't be taking risks.
[10:21] Dolan
    I'm just going to get near it
     and look at the swamp.
[10:24] Arsena
    Really?
[10:26] Dolan
    Yeah.
[10:28] Golaon
    You're an adult now, so it's
    your decision to make.
[10:31] Golaon
    Do as you like.
[10:32] Golaon
    But come back safe so
    your mom doesn't worry.
[10:37] Golaon
    That's all I have to say.
[10:39] Dolan
    Thanks, Dad.
[10:40] Dolan
    Don't worry, I'm sure I'll
    have a great story to tell.
[10:46] Dolan
    This is a bit too much, isn't it?
[10:50] Balan
    Nonsense!
[10:51] Balan
    This is supposed to be
    a job for us soldiers!
[10:54] Balan
    I think I'll go after all...
[10:56] Malida
    Don't be stupid.
[10:58] Malida
    What if monsters attack
    while you're gone, Captain?
[11:02] Leticia
    Let me give you a simple goddess's blessing.
[11:05] Dolan
    Thank you, Leticia.
[11:10] Maguru
    Dolan, I don't want to scare you,
[11:14] Maguru
    but my fortune-telling is showing
    the tiniest hint of something bad.
[11:19] Maguru
    Be careful.
[11:21] Dolan
    Yes, ma'am.
[11:22] Airi
    Um, I made you lunch.
[11:27] Airi
    Eat it on the road.
[11:29] Dolan
    Sure. Thanks, Airi.
[11:35] Marco
    Bye! Take care!
[11:40] Dolan
    The lizards in the swamp would occasionally
    interact with Verun village.
[11:44] Dolan
    But one day they just disappeared.
[11:48] Dolan
    Since we couldn't just do nothing,
    I volunteered to investigate what happened.
[11:54] Dolan
    Now, what am I going to find...?
[11:59] Dolan
    So this is the place...
[12:21] Dolan
    I see.
[12:22] Dolan
    This explains why the
    lizards can't live here.
[12:25] Dolan
    The earth elementals' power is too strong
    and the water elementals' power is weakening.
[12:31] Dolan
    Old Lady Maguru's fortune-telling
    is usually right.
[12:39] Dolan
    Something's there.
[12:41] Dolan
    Only a powerful monster could
    live in this swamp currently.
[12:54] Celina
    Y-You came here alone...
[13:03] Celina
    Foolish human.
[13:08] Dolan
    A lamia, huh?
[13:10] Dolan
    You don't usually see them around here...
[13:13] Dolan
    Though I see... She's as
    beautiful as the rumors say...
[13:18] Celina
    Are you all alone, by the way?
[13:22] Dolan
    It's just me.
[13:24] Dolan
    Nobody else is here.
[13:25] Celina
    W-Whew! I'm glad.
[13:29] Celina
    Um, what should I do?
[13:32] Celina
    I think I'm supposed to use charm
[13:33] Celina
    and then do those movements mom
    taught me over and over again...
[13:41] Dolan
    What are those strange movements?
[13:46] Celina
    Human! I did not come to fight!
[14:03] Dolan
    Let's get out of here!
[14:12] Celina
    Wh-What is that thing?
[14:24] Dolan
    It's okay now.
[14:27] Celina
    Just what is that thing?
[14:30] Dolan
    It's a mad earth elemental.
[14:33] Celina
    An elemental? I've never seen one like that.
[14:37] Dolan
    There used to be lizards who lived
    here, but they all vanished one day.
[14:42] Dolan
    That thing is probably why.
[14:44] Dolan
    I heard there was a big
    earthquake a while back.
[14:47] Dolan
    That probably affected the elemental.
[14:50] Dolan
    Unfortunately, it won't go back to normal.
[14:55] Dolan
    I'm Dolan.
[14:56] Dolan
    What's your name?
[14:58] Celina
    I'm Celina.
[15:00] Dolan
    I've heard all lamias
    can use magic. Can you?
[15:04] Celina
    Oh... Yes, I can.
[15:07] Dolan
    Okay.
[15:08] Dolan
    I have a suggestion.
    Why don't we fight it together?
[15:16] Celina
    But! But! Lamia are earth monsters,
    so I don't think I can...
[15:21] Dolan
    So your magic can't really damage it, huh?
[15:25] Celina
    But, well...
[15:28] Celina
    I think the lamia's unique racial spell
    will work on an earth elemental...
[15:35] Dolan
    Okay.
[15:37] Dolan
    How about this? I'll go out in
    front and you can back me up.
[15:48] Celina
    O-Okay.
[15:51] Celina
    In sickness and in health,
    till death do us part...
[15:54] Dolan
    Isn't that what you say
    when you get married?
[15:58] Celina
    Sorry!
[16:06] Celina
    I just met this human... I don't know
    if I can work together with him.
[16:15] Celina
    That's the signal.
[16:27] Celina
    Accursed demon snake that flows within me...
[16:31] Celina
    Come forth and curse my foe!
[16:35] Celina
    Jaraam!
[16:44] Dolan
    Indeed.
[16:49] Celina
    No, it can't hold it...
[16:53] Dolan
    That's plenty.
[17:05] Dolan
    If I imbue my sword with draconic magic...
[17:17] Celina
    You did it!
[17:29] Celina
    I'm all muddy!
[17:32] Dolan
    You okay?
[17:34] Celina
    It got in my mouth, too.
[17:38] Dolan
    Indeed. You don't seem hurt.
[17:42] Dolan
    Thanks for helping.
[17:44] Dolan
    Allow me to introduce myself properly.
[17:47] Dolan
    I'm Dolan from Verun village.
[17:49] Celina
    I'm Celina.
[17:52] Celina
    As you can see, I'm a lamia.
[17:54] Dolan
    Celina? Yes, that's a good name.
[17:59] Dolan
    First, we need to clean you
    up and dry your clothes.
[18:02] Dolan
    You must be cold.
[18:04] Celina
    Y-Yes.
[18:19] Celina
    You're not scared of me
    at all, are you, Dolan?
[18:23] Dolan
    Yes.
[18:24] Dolan
    You seem different from the lamias I know.
[18:28] Celina
    What kind do you know?
[18:31] Dolan
    They're more wary of humans,
    and more aggressive, I guess...
[18:37] Dolan
    There aren't any lamia villages around here.
[18:40] Dolan
    What are you doing here?
[18:42] Celina
    When a lamia turns 17,
[18:44] Celina
    there's a rule that says they
    have to leave to find a husband.
[18:49] Dolan
    And that's what you're doing?
[18:51] Celina
    Yes. In accordance with that rule,
[18:54] Celina
    I'm going on a journey to find a husband.
[18:57] Dolan
    Oh, that's wonderful.
[19:00] Celina
    Lamia are an all-female race,
[19:02] Celina
    so we only give birth to girls.
[19:05] Celina
    Very rarely, we'll give birth to a boy,
    but it's always of our husbands' race.
[19:10] Celina
    Lamia are a race that were created
    when a female human was cursed.
[19:16] Celina
    That curse was passed down.
[19:18] Celina
    We're partially snakes, and our
    body fluids contain poison.
[19:23] Celina
    So we need to choose a husband who's got
    a strong body and is resistant to poison.
[19:31] Celina
    Otherwise, you see...
[19:37] Celina
    Um... when we k-kiss... or m-make babies...
[19:42] Celina
    the man will die from poison!
[19:46] Dolan
    I see. So it's harder to find a partner
    for you than it is for other races.
[19:53] Celina
    My mom met my dad on a journey, too!
[19:57] Celina
    He was a human, just like you!
[20:02] Celina
    They get along great!
[20:05] Dolan
    That's a good thing.
[20:08] Celina
    A-Are you treating me like a child?
[20:12] Dolan
    Not at all...
[20:14] Dolan
    I was just thinking you're
    a very cute lamia.
[20:17] Celina
    C-Cute?
[20:19] Celina
    You are treating me like a child!
[20:22] Dolan
    Don't get so upset.
[20:27] Dolan
    Here.
[20:31] Dolan
    I'm not as good a cook as my mom,
    but I think this is pretty tasty.
[20:42] Celina
    It's wonderful.
[20:43] Celina
    What is it? I've never had it before.
[20:46] Celina
    It smells good and it's really rich!
[20:48] Celina
    Is it made with milk?
[20:52] Celina
    Sorry... I got excited.
[20:55] Dolan
    I'm glad you liked it.
[20:57] Dolan
    My mom taught me how to make it.
[21:00] Dolan
    On cold winter nights, we all
    gathered around the pot to eat it.
[21:06] Celina
    You have such a kind smile when
    you talk about your family.
[21:12] Celina
    You love your family, don't you?
[21:16] Dolan
    Oh, right.
[21:20] Dolan
    The dragon in the cave who
    was all alone is gone now...
[21:28] Celina
    Dolan?
[21:30] Celina
    Is something wrong?
[21:35] Dolan
    No, I was just thinking that you're right.
[21:41] Dolan
    I love my family.
[21:45] Celina
    So do I!
[21:58] Dolan
    I'm sure you'll find a great partner.
[22:04] Celina
    Thanks.
[22:06] Dolan
    Hm... I've heard lamias like life energy.
[22:18] Dolan
    Sorry, did I scare you?
[22:25] Dolan
    Hmm. Perhaps a dragon's life
    energy was too strong...
[22:41] Dolan
    Anyway, I'm going back to my village.
[22:45] Celina
    I'm going to head south and
    keep looking for a husband.
[22:50] Dolan
    When your journey's over,
    come by my village with your husband.
[22:56] Dolan
    I'll introduce my family.
[22:59] Celina
    Okay! I definitely will!
[23:02] Dolan
    May the path you walk be a blessed one.
[23:06] Celina
    You too, Dolan. Be well!
