[00:37] Kaina
    Ririha!
[00:39] Kaina
    Are you okay?
[00:53] Kaina
    There...
[00:56] Kaina
    Do you want to take a break?
[00:58] Ririha
    I'm fine.
[01:10] Ririha
    What are those brown things?
[01:13] Kaina
    Hm?
[01:14] Kaina
    Oh, they're the pupas of giant tree flies.
[01:17] Ririha
    What?
[01:17] Kaina
    The larvae transform into pupas.
[01:20] Ririha
    And we're going through them?
[01:22] Kaina
    We'll pass nearby.
[01:23] Ririha
    They won't attack us?
[01:24] Kaina
    As long as we don't upset them.
[01:28] Ririha
    I wonder how long it'll take
    us to get down at this rate.
[01:35] Kaina
    Hmm...
[01:38] Kaina
    About 30 days?
[01:39] Ririha
    What?!
[01:41] Kaina
    You're new at this, Ririha.
[01:42] Ririha
    No! We can't take that long!
[01:46] Ririha
    Let's pick up the pace!

[03:31] Orinoga
    Denigo, keep your body low!
[03:33] Denigo
    Sorry!
[03:35] Orinoga
    They can't have gotten too far from Atland...
[03:38] Orinoga
    Hm?
[03:40] Orinoga
    What is that?
[03:44] Soldier B
    Commander, he's a Valghian soldier.
[03:46] Soldier B
    There are signs of a struggle.
[03:48] Orinoga
    Did they attack Princess Ririha?
[03:50] Orinoga
    Search this area thoroughly!
[03:52] Denigo
    Yes, sir!
[04:11] Kaina
    Ririha, hang onto the tree!
[04:13] Ririha
    Huh?
[04:23] Kaina
    That branch... It came from the
    village's direction. You think...
[04:28] Ririha
    I-I'm sure it's nothing.
    It was just a branch.
[04:32] Ririha
    Just a dead branch that broke off.
[04:41] (Flashback) Signkeeper
    Make sure she gets home safe and sound.
[04:45] Kaina
    Yeah. Let's keep going.
[05:00] Kaina
    That's it! You're doing good!
[05:07] Ririha
    This is easy once you get the hang of it!
[05:22] Ririha
    I'm fine!
[05:28] Ririha
    I have to get back to Atland
    as soon as possible!
[05:42] Amelothée
    According to the report, the floater carrying
    the Atlandian soldier was headed...
[05:47] Amelothée
    There.
[05:48] Lieutenant
    Do you think what they said about the
    woman leading the soldiers is true?
[05:52] Amelothée
    We'll find out once we've
    obtained our quarry.
[05:55] Amelothée
    Either way, it seems Atland really
    does believe in the Canopy.
[06:01] Lieutenant
    You mean, the legend of the sage?
[06:04] Lieutenant
    You don't actually think they
    went on a quest to find the sage?
[06:08] Amelothée
    I cannot deny the possibility.
[06:10] Lieutenant
    Oh, well...
[06:12] Amelothée
    We'll head to that orbital spire
    tree. Keep your eyes open.
[06:15] Lieutenant
    Yes, ma'am!
[06:25] Kaina
    Let's call it a day.
[06:27] Ririha
    What? I can keep going.
[06:30] Kaina
    It'll be dangerous after dark.
[06:34] Ririha
    Okay...
[06:40] Kaina
    That was delicious.
[06:42] Kaina
    I'd never seen that bug before,
[06:44] Kaina
    but it looked like a caddis fly,
    so I figured it was edible.
[06:48] Ririha
    R-Right... I actually ate a good portion.
[06:51] Kaina
    You were hungry after moving around so much.
[06:54] Ririha
    Right, that must be it.
[06:57] Kaina
    You're getting the hang of it, so I think
    we'll get there in about three days.
[07:02] Ririha
    What? We still have three more days?
[07:05] Kaina
    Uh, but since you're a quick learner, maybe
    we can pick up the pace a little more?
[07:12] Ririha
    Yeah, I'll do my best.
[07:15] Ririha
    Oh, before I forget.
[07:19] Ririha
    Snowfoil bag.
[07:20] Ririha
    I have two, so you can have one.
[07:23] Kaina
    Snowfoil bag?
[07:24] Ririha
    Without this, you'll sink if
    you fall into the Snow Sea.
[07:28] Kaina
    I will?
[07:29] Ririha
    I'm not sure how helpful
    it'll be from this height.
[07:32] Ririha
    But it's better to have it on you.
[07:36] Kaina
    Okay, thanks.
[07:42] Ririha
    Hey.
[07:43] Kaina
    Hm?
[07:44] Ririha
    Was it really all right for you
    to leave the village with me?
[07:50] Kaina
    I was always watching from my window.
[07:53] Ririha
    Huh?
[07:54] Kaina
    The glimmering lights. I thought,
    "Maybe there are people down there."
[07:58] Kaina
    So I've always wanted to
    go down to the Snow Sea.
[08:07] Ririha
    Hey, tell me about your father and mother.
[08:11] Kaina
    They both died right after I was born.
[08:16] Ririha
    I'm sorry... Did they fall ill?
[08:18] Kaina
    Mom did. After giving birth to me,
    she didn't get enough nutrients.
[08:23] Kaina
    Dad went to get Mom some giant tree fly eggs,
[08:29] Kaina
    but the bugs got him instead.
[08:32] Ririha
    That's why that old woman scolded me so much.
[08:36] Kaina
    What are your parents like?
[08:41] Ririha
    Father is very strict
    with himself and others.
[08:45] Ririha
    But that's because he's the king.
[08:48] Ririha
    Deep down, he's a very kind person.
[08:50] Kaina
    Yeah.
[08:51] Ririha
    Mother passed away when I was little.
[08:54] Kaina
    Oh...
[08:55] Ririha
    From an illness.
[08:57] Ririha
    But I still remember how warm her
    arms were when she hugged me,
[09:03] Ririha
    and how gentle her voice was
    when she read me stories.
[09:07] Ririha
    She told me the story about the sage, too.
[09:09] Kaina
    The sage...
[09:11] Ririha
    "As the world was born,
    the wise sage descended."
[09:15] Ririha
    "Where his staff pierced the
    land, the water did flow."
[09:18] Ririha
    "From his staff then the
    orbital spire trees ascended."
[09:21] Ririha
    "But to war with each other
    did the tree-people go."
[09:26] Ririha
    "The sage fled to the forest
    in sorrowed sequestration."
[09:30] Ririha
    "From then on, the Snow Sea
    would engulf all creation."
[09:34] Ririha
    That's the story of the sage Mother told me.
[09:38] Kaina
    And the "forest" in this story is the Canopy?
[09:43] Ririha
    Yes. At least, I've always thought so. But...
[09:49] Kaina
    Yeah, no one in our village
    has that kind of power.
[09:57] Ririha
    It's getting cold.
[09:58] Kaina
    Yeah.
[10:03] Ririha
    W-We're not going to fall, are we?
[10:06] Kaina
    We're secure, so we'll be fine.
[10:13] Kaina
    Wh-Why did you think the
    "forest" was the Canopy?
[10:19] Ririha
    Light told me.
[10:22] Kaina
    Light?
[10:23] Ririha
    Light is that thing we saw
    yesterday when you saved me.
[10:28] Kaina
    Huh?
[10:29] Ririha
    I named it "Light."
[10:32] Kaina
    Oh, that thing.
[10:34] Ririha
    I'd seen it before, when I was little.
[10:37] Kaina
    What?
[10:39] Ririha
    It was right after Mother passed away.
[10:41] Ririha
    Father went on an expedition to a distant
    spire tree, and he took me with him.
[10:48] Ririha
    I think he was trying to cheer
    me up because I was sad.
[10:52] Ririha
    At night, I wandered alone on a beach.
[10:57] Ririha
    I felt so lonely, and I was looking
    for my mother, knowing she was gone.
[11:02] Ririha
    Then I lost my way back, and I felt
    so helpless that I wanted to cry.
[11:27] Ririha
    That's when Light showed me
    the brightness of the Canopy,
[11:33] Ririha
    and I thought it must be the sage's forest.
[11:37] Servant
    Princess Ririha!
[11:43] Ririha
    Up until now, any time I talked about Light,
    people would say they'd never seen it.
[11:48] Ririha
    You're the first one who has.
[11:50] Kaina
    Me, too. I'd never met anyone
    who'd seen that thing.
[11:54] Kaina
    I saw it when you came to the Canopy.
[11:57] Ririha
    You did?
[11:58] Kaina
    Yeah.
[12:00] Ririha
    I wonder what that thing is...
[12:02] Kaina
    I'm not sure, but I don't
    think it's something bad.
[12:07] Ririha
    Yeah.
[12:11] Ririha
    I found this when I first saw it.
[12:14] Ririha
    I thought it was something that
    fell from the sage's forest,
[12:18] Ririha
    so I took good care of it.
[12:20] Kaina
    Hmm...
[12:22] Ririha
    Maybe this thing
[12:27] Ririha
    and the tool the Signkeeper gave us
[12:30] Ririha
    are relics from the ancient
    times when the sage lived.
[12:35] Ririha
    If that's the case, then maybe
    the sage is no longer around.
[12:40] Kaina
    Yeah...
[12:43] Kaina
    Mm-hm...
[12:51] Ririha
    But still, I...
[13:01] Orinoga
    We'll have to call off
    the search after today.
[13:04] Orinoga
    Princess Ririha, where are you?
[13:06] Denigo
    Commander!
[13:07] Orinoga
    What is it?
[13:12] Orinoga
    This must be Jarge's steed.
[13:14] Denigo
    What's it doing here?
[13:16] Orinoga
    It must've been swimming around this
    vast snowy sea, looking for its master.
[13:21] Denigo
    Poor thing. It was injured by the
    stones from a Valghian catapult.
[13:25] Soldier B
    Is there a way for us to bring
    it back home, Commander?
[13:41] Orinoga
    Purge!
[13:43] Soldiers
    Purge!
[13:44] Soldiers
    Purge!
[13:45] Orinoga
    Thy spirit is released.
[13:48] Orinoga
    Return to Toa, our sweet haven.
[13:54] Orinoga
    Our priority right now is
    to find Princess Ririha.
[13:57] Orinoga
    Don't forget to cut off the snowfoil sticks.
[13:59] Soldier B
    Y-Yes, sir.
[14:13] Ririha
    I'm serious. Do not look, okay?!
[14:16] Kaina
    Don't worry.
[14:24] Ririha
    Please don't let him hear it.
    Please don't let him hear it.
[14:34] Kaina
    Oh, a rainbow.
[14:36] Ririha
    Huh?
[14:36] Kaina
    Huh?
[14:48] Kaina
    That was dangerous, Ririha!
[14:50] Ririha
    I told you not to look!
[14:53] Kaina
    S-Sorry...
[15:03] Ririha
    Wow...
[15:06] Kaina
    Oh...
[15:06] Ririha
    Huh?
[15:09] Ririha
    It's that bug again.
[15:13] Kaina
    Maybe this route's safer.
[15:15] Ririha
    Yeah.
[15:27] Kaina
    I didn't know the inside was like this.
[15:30] Ririha
    It's so hollow... No wonder we're
    experiencing water shortages.
[15:34] Kaina
    Oh!
[15:37] Ririha
    There are bugs everywhere, huh?
[15:40] Kaina
    Huh?
[15:41] Ririha
    W-Well, you see them in
    the Snow Sea, the Canopy,
[15:44] Ririha
    around spire trees... Everywhere.
[15:47] Kaina
    Oh, bugs repair the Canopy and orbital trees.
[15:51] Ririha
    Repair?
[15:52] Kaina
    Yeah. That's why we shouldn't overhunt them.
[15:55] Ririha
    Huh... Repairing, huh?
[15:58] Kaina
    The old men and women taught me that
    people and bugs are in the same boat.
[16:04] Ririha
    Humans and bugs really do
    coexist in this world...
[16:12] Ririha
    Hey, Kaina. I'll talk to Father
    about that. Maybe then, he'll...
[16:19] Kaina
    Oh...
[16:20] Ririha
    What?
[16:21] Kaina
    That was the first time
    you called me by my name.
[16:28] Ririha
    W-Was it?
[16:29] Ririha
    Um...
[16:30] Kaina
    I thought maybe you forgot it.
[16:32] Ririha
    Of course I didn't!
[16:37] Ririha
    L-Let's keep moving!
[16:40] Kaina
    Okay.
[17:00] Lieutenant
    General Amelothée, there's an
    artificial light above the great ring.
[17:05] Lieutenant
    It doesn't mean they're
    from the Canopy, but...
[17:08] Amelothée
    Who'd be that high up, other than
    the one who traveled on the floater?
[17:12] Lieutenant
    You mean...?
[17:14] Amelothée
    We'll find out once we capture them.
[17:23] Kaina
    I think this is as far as we can go,
     but we've traveled quite a bit.
[17:27] Ririha
    Good.
[17:29] Kaina
    We stayed up and kept moving, but are you okay?
[17:32] Ririha
    Yes, I'm fine.
[17:36] Ririha
    It's getting warm.
[17:37] Kaina
    Yeah? Oh, maybe because of the pressure suit.
[17:41] Ririha
    Oh. You're right...
[17:48] Kaina
    What?
[18:14] Ririha
    I'm back!
[18:15] Kaina
    We did it, Ririha!
[18:17] Ririha
    Yeah!
[18:22] Kaina
    Hm?
[18:22] Kaina
    Hey, there's something over there.
[18:28] Ririha
    Ah!
[18:29] Kaina
    What's wrong? What are those things?
[18:31] Ririha
    Oh, they're climbing up!
[18:33] Kaina
    Huh?
[18:36] Ririha
    Valghia!
[18:38] Ririha
    We have to run!
[18:39] Kaina
    What?!
[18:51] Lieutenant
    Looks like it's the royal princess.
[18:53] Lieutenant
    And one more person... A servant, perhaps?
[18:56] Lieutenant
    He's wearing clothing I've never seen before.
[18:58] Sentry
    General Amelothée,
    something's headed this way!
[19:01] Amelothée
    Hm?
[19:04] Lieutenant
    They're... cavalry from Atland!
[19:07] Denigo
    What are they doing?
[19:11] Denigo
    Oh, there's someone on the spire tree!
[19:17] Orinoga
    We're going to attack the enemy fleet!
[19:20] Denigo
    A-Attack them?! But we'll
    be disobeying orders, sir.
[19:22] Orinoga
    Soldiers, load your acorn guns!
[19:25] Orinoga
    Charge!
[19:26] Soldiers
    Yes, sir!
[19:27] Kaina
    Hey, why do we need to run?! Who are they?!
[19:30] Ririha
    They're our enemy! They'll
    kill us if we're captured!
[19:32] Kaina
    What? People would kill other people?!
[19:37] Ririha
    That's...
[19:37] Kaina
    Huh?
[19:41] Orinoga
    Ready, aim...
[19:43] Orinoga
    Fire!
[19:47] Denigo
    Get to Princess Ririha, quickly!
[19:49] Valghian Soldiers
    Don't let them through!
[19:59] Ririha
    We're surrounded.
[20:03] Ririha
    You need to protect yourself.
[20:05] Kaina
    Hey, can't we just talk to them?
    Humans shouldn't fight each other.
[20:08] Ririha
    They aren't the types to listen!
[20:11] Kaina
    Let me try.
[20:13] Ririha
    I told you, they're dangerous!
[20:17] Ririha
    If we could only get over there...
[20:22] Kaina
    To the people riding around in the Snow Sea?
[20:25] Ririha
    Yes, they're my country's cavalry.
[20:28] Kaina
    Okay.
[20:28] Ririha
    Huh?
[20:29] Kaina
    Ririha, you came up by
    riding a floater, right?
[20:31] Ririha
    Wait, what?!
[20:32] Kaina
    Jump, Ririha!
[20:48] Denigo
    Commander, what are your orders?
[20:49] Orinoga
    Go around!
[20:53] Orinoga
    Princess Ririha!
[20:56] Ririha
    We're floating away...
[20:58] Ririha
    What's our next move?
[21:00] Kaina
    Well, we'll float as long
    as we have this, right?
[21:03] Ririha
    Right!
[21:04] Kaina
    Let's go!
