[00:00] Kaina
    Ouch!
[00:05] Kaina
    Wait, is this a fireplace?
[00:07] Yaona
    This is a chimney from the old castle.
[00:11] Kaina
    No wonder it was sooty.
[00:16] Yaona
    The further down you go in the Snow Sea,
[00:18] Yaona
    the more new roots from spire trees you find.
[00:21] Yaona
    They're engulfing the castle and its city.
[00:23] Kaina
    Engulfing?
[00:24] Yaona
    We're already below the Snow Sea.
[00:26] Kaina
    What?
[00:27] Yaona
    The Snow Sea is always rising.
[00:31] Yaona
    So we keep building higher and higher.
[00:36] Yaona
    It's like we're being chased.
[00:38] Kaina
    I see.
[00:39] Yaona
    Deeper down, you'll find even
    older castles and cities.
[00:43] Kaina
    Wow. Well, maybe you guys will
    reach the Canopy one day.
[00:48] Yaona
    Huh?
[00:53] Yaona
    You're funny, Kaina.
[00:54] Kaina
    Am I?
[00:57] Yaona
    Sis has always been a tomboy.
[00:59] Yaona
    The more they tell her she mustn't
    go, the more she wants to.
[01:03] Yaona
    Sis and I, we came down
    to explore this place once.
[01:08] Kaina
    Yeah?
[01:09] Yaona
    They told us never to enter this
    area because of the monsters.
[01:13] Yaona
    So we were going to fight them off together.
[01:16] Kaina
    Huh?
[01:20] Kaina
    Are these... words?
[01:25] Kaina
    I wonder what they are.
     They look like words...
[01:27] Yaona
    Kaina, this way!
[01:30] Kaina
    Right!
[01:35] Kaina
    Hm?
[01:45] Yaona
    We can get to the Snow Sea from here.
[01:48] Yaona
    Oh, watch—
[01:52] Yaona
    I was going to say, watch your step.
[01:54] Kaina
    Ow...
[01:59] Young Ririha
    Jeez! You're such a crybaby, Yaona!
[02:01] (Flashback) Young Ririha
    You should've listened to me!
[02:02] (Flashback) Young Ririha
    I told you not to come because
    you'd only slow me down!
[02:09] (Flashback) Young Ririha
    Come on, stand up.
[02:11] (Flashback) Young Ririha
    Stop crying. You just slipped.
[02:21] Yaona
    Oh, see that over there?
    That's the exit to the Snow Sea.
[02:27] Kaina
    Yeah, I think we can make it.
[02:29] Kaina
    Walking across the next tree's root
    should take us straight there.
[02:33] Yaona
    Yeah.
[02:34] Kaina
    We'll use these from here on out.

[04:50] Amelothée
    Open up.
[04:51] Guard
    Ma'am!
[05:01] Amelothée
    How are you doing, Princess of Atland?
[05:05] Amelothée
    If Atland agrees to our terms tomorrow,
    you'll be safely returned home.
[05:11] Ririha
    Father will not agree to your terms.
[05:15] Amelothée
    That would be noble of him,
    but it would also mean your death.
[05:19] Ririha
    I am prepared for that.
[05:21] Amelothée
    And for turning your
    nation into a battlefield,
[05:24] Amelothée
    only so you can surrender later
    under less favorable conditions?
[05:28] Ririha
    If we go to war, it will
    be Valghia that loses.
[05:31] Amelothée
    How can you be so sure?
[05:33] Ririha
    You saw me come down from
     the spire tree, didn't you?
[05:35] Amelothée
    What about it?
[05:36] Ririha
    Don't you see?
[05:39] Ririha
    I came back after meeting
    the sage in the Canopy.
[05:43] Ririha
    I explained our plight in the Snow Sea to him,
[05:48] Ririha
    and he promised to save us.
[05:51] Amelothée
    Interesting. And how exactly
    will he be saving you?
[05:56] Ririha
    I don't know how.
[05:59] Ririha
    But the sage will save us.
[06:03] Amelothée
    Is that so? And you expect
    us to believe that, too?
[06:07] Ririha
    I was not alone when I came down.
[06:13] Amelothée
    That boy...
[06:16] Amelothée
    Are you saying he's proof
    that the sage exists?
[06:22] Ririha
    He's the sage's disciple.
[06:26] Ririha
    He was sent here to bring salvation
    to the people of the Snow Sea.
[06:31] Amelothée
    Salvation?
[06:32] Ririha
    There is no need to fight anymore.
[06:36] Ririha
    They shall provide us with a
    never-ending supply of water.
[06:39] Amelothée
    Why are you saying this now? If you'd
    told us this when you were captured—
[06:42] Ririha
    What would you have done then?
[06:44] Ririha
    You would have captured the
    disciple and threatened the sage.
[06:51] Ririha
    The sage does not like conflict.
[06:54] Ririha
    However, he could destroy Valghia
    in the blink of an eye if he so wished.
[06:59] Ririha
    Surrender while you have the chance.
[07:06] Amelothée
    Thanks for the interesting story.
[07:08] Amelothée
    We'll be sure to be on our toes.
[07:22] Ririha
    I hope Kaina is doing all right.
[07:30] Amelothée
    What a clever little princess.
[07:48] Kaina
    Okay.
[07:48] Yaona
    Okay.
[07:57] Haresora
    Are you ready to go?
[08:00] Servant
    Yes, my king.
[08:01] Mulnota
    Your Majesty, about our
    response to Valghia...
[08:05] Mulnota
    Perhaps we are provoking them too much?
[08:08] Haresora
    That's the message we want to send.
[08:10] Mulnota
    It may be better to think
    of a different way.
[08:14] Mulnota
    I know! What about using
    the boy from the Canopy?
[08:19] Haresora
    Hm, that boy?
[08:21] Mulnota
    I hear the Valghian admiral
    has a fondness for curiosities.
[08:25] Mulnota
    Someone from the Canopy
    is as rare as it gets.
[08:30] Mulnota
    If we offer the boy up, then perhaps—
[08:33] Haresora
    Do you think Valghia would believe us?
[08:36] Mulnota
    The Valghians saw the boy come down
    from the spire tree with Princess Ririha.
[08:42] Haresora
    That's not enough.
[08:45] Haresora
    He's just a boy, not the sage himself.
    He'd mean nothing.
[08:49] Mulnota
    But if he could buy us some time...
[08:52] Haresora
    Buy time for what?
[08:54] Mulnota
    Sir...
[08:56] Süro
    Pardon my interruption!
[08:57] Mulnota
    What is it?
[08:59] Süro
    Your Majesty, Prince Yaona—
[09:01] Haresora
    What about Yaona?
[09:02] Süro
    He's not in his room.
[09:04] Haresora
    He never is.
[09:06] Süro
    Yes, but that boy, Kaina, is also missing.
[09:10] Haresora
    What?!
[09:11] Mulnota
    What about the guard?!
[09:12] Süro
    He swears no one came out of the room.
[09:15] Mulnota
    Are you saying the boy disappeared?
[09:19] Haresora
    I'm sure Yaona's just showing him around.
[09:23] Haresora
    They can't go anywhere without a snow horse.
[09:26] Haresora
    Nothing to be alarmed about.
[09:30] Haresora
    Let's get back to the point.
[09:32] Haresora
    You know what to do.
[09:35] Servant
    I'll be on my way.
[09:49] Amelothée
    Set us up for negotiations.
    We'll wait for the admiral's arrival.
[09:52] Lieutenant
    Yes, ma'am! Set us up!
[09:54] Soldiers
    Sir!
[10:45] Yaona
    That was terrifying.
[10:48] Kaina
    Where are we?
[10:50] Yaona
    It's an air pocket.
[10:52] Yaona
    The root was engulfed by the
    Snow Sea with air still in it.
[10:57] Yaona
    I was taught about places like this.
[10:59] Kaina
    I see. Well, it saved us.
[11:04] Kaina
    Let's take a break.
[11:05] Yaona
    What? We don't have time for that!
[11:08] Yaona
    We need to go.
[11:11] Kaina
    You're just like her.
[11:13] Yaona
    Huh?
[11:13] Kaina
    When we were climbing down the spire tree,
[11:16] Kaina
    Ririha refused to take breaks at first, too.
[11:21] Yaona
    Did she?
[11:23] Yaona
    Okay. Just for a minute, then.
[11:25] Kaina
    And...
[11:27] Kaina
    Make sure to pee when you can.
[11:37] Kaina
    Hey. Have you seen it, Yaona?
[11:39] Yaona
    Seen what?
[11:40] Kaina
    I don't know what it's called,
    but this floaty, glowy thing.
[11:45] Kaina
    Sometimes, it just seems to show up.
[11:48] Kaina
    It seems unfocused, but
    as if it's watching us.
[11:52] Yaona
    Hmm...
[11:54] Kaina
    I've seen the glowy thing up in
    the Canopy a few times.
[11:59] Kaina
    Ririha named it Light.
[12:02] Kaina
    She said she saw it when she was little.
[12:04] Yaona
    She did?
[12:05] Kaina
    So I was wondering if you had, too.
[12:10] Yaona
    Hmm... I don't think so.
[12:14] Yaona
    What about it?
[12:15] Kaina
    I was just thinking about it.
[12:20] Yaona
    I don't know about the glowy thing,
     but I've seen the Ascender.
[12:25] Kaina
    The Ascender? What's that?
[12:28] Yaona
    It's a monster that lives in the Snow Sea.
[12:30] Kaina
    What?
[12:31] Yaona
    If you see it, you'll be cursed, and it'll
     pull you under the Snow Sea,
[12:35] Yaona
    where it'll tear you into shreds.
[12:38] Kaina
    What?!
[12:41] Yaona
    I'm just kidding.
[12:43] Yaona
    The Ascender is the legendary
    guardian of the Snow Sea.
[12:48] Yaona
    I've never actually seen it.
[12:50] Kaina
    Jeez...
[12:54] Kaina
    Let's go.
[12:55] Yaona
    Hey, wait for me.
[13:05] Soldier A
    The admiral has arrived!
[13:06] Soldier B
    Prepare to welcome him!
[13:10] Lieutenant
    Everyone, line up!
[13:13] Amelothée
    Admiral, we've been expecting you.
[13:15] Admiral
    Right. Is the Princess of Atland inside?
[13:19] Amelothée
    Yes.
[13:33] Admiral
    I like the look on your face.
[13:37] Admiral
    Is it true you've been to the Canopy?
[13:41] Admiral
    Did you find the sage?
[13:42] Ririha
    I have nothing to say to a man like you.
[13:46] Admiral
    Very well. Then, tell me
    how you'd like to die.
[13:52] Ririha
    Take your filthy hook off of me.
[13:56] Admiral
    Good. That's good. That rebellious
     look in your eyes...
[14:01] Admiral
    Princesses should be noble.
[14:33] Yaona
    Kaina, you should leave
    me behind and keep going.
[14:36] Kaina
    Huh?
[14:37] Yaona
    You could move much faster
    if you were on your own.
[14:40] Kaina
    Don't say that. We're almost there.
[14:43] Yaona
    I don't want to drag you down.
[14:50] Kaina
    Let me take a look.
[14:55] Kaina
    Your air berries have gone so dark.
[14:57] Kaina
    You must've had a hard time breathing.
[14:59] Yaona
    I must've wasted air. I'm sorry!
[15:02] Kaina
    Don't be. This was your first time.
[15:05] Kaina
    It'll be fine. Let me swap them out.
[15:11] Yaona
    Thanks.
[15:13] Yaona
    But if you ever think it'd be
     better to go on alone,
[15:18] Yaona
    don't hesitate to leave me.
[15:20] Kaina
    Without you, I wouldn't even
    have gotten out of the castle.
[15:24] Kaina
    You're not holding me back.
[15:28] Yaona
    Oh, over there.
[15:30] Kaina
    Huh?
[15:32] Yaona
    It's bright.
[15:36] Kaina
    Huh?
[15:38] Yaona
    It's the surface of the Snow Sea!
[15:42] Yaona
    And it's already well into the afternoon.
[15:45] Kaina
    What's that?
[15:50] Kaina
    Cavalry from Atland?
[15:52] Yaona
    Huh? Where?
[15:54] Kaina
    Why are they headed that way?
[15:56] Yaona
    I don't see anything. Are you sure?
[15:58] Kaina
    Maybe we took the long way.
[16:01] Yaona
    What?
[16:02] Kaina
    That's where they're negotiating.
[16:07] Kaina
    We won't make it at this rate.
[16:08] Yaona
    No!
[16:09] Kaina
    We need to come up with a plan.
[16:10] Yaona
    What kind of plan?!
[16:12] Kaina
    Oh...
[16:13] Yaona
    Huh?
[16:24] Kaina
    Okay.
[16:24] Yaona
    Okay.
[16:51] Admiral
    They're late!
[16:54] Admiral
    It's clear the negotiations are off!
[16:57] Admiral
    Send all our forces to Atland—
[16:58] Soldier A
    They're here!
[16:59] Soldier A
    A messenger from Atland!
[17:02] Admiral
    Hmph!
[17:52] Servant
    Princess Ririha...
[17:53] Ririha
    I'm sorry I've caused such trouble.
[17:55] Admiral
    Took you long enough. I figured your
     side would be too scared to show.
[18:00] Servant
    Don't underestimate Atland.
[18:04] Admiral
    It's time. Give me an answer.
[18:10] Servant
    I've brought a message from our king.
[18:12] Servant
    I speak for the king of a rich nation
    coexisting with the orbital spire tree,
[18:16] Servant
    to the leaders of a rootless nation
    adrift in the Snow Sea...
[18:20] Servant
    The people of Atland will
     not yield to barbarians.
[18:28] Admiral
    I'm impressed.
[18:31] Admiral
    I'd like to return what
    belongs to your nation.
[18:34] Admiral
    First, the princess's sword.
[18:45] Ririha
    How could you...
[18:48] Admiral
    Tie him to a snow horse
    and send him back to Atland.
[18:53] Lieutenant
    Yes, sir!
[18:54] Admiral
    I don't understand why your king
    willingly chooses death.
[18:59] Admiral
    His pointless pride will only
    cause his people to suffer.
[19:06] Admiral
    Isn't that right?
[19:08] Admiral
    Of course, a war would reduce
    the number of mouths to feed.
[19:14] Admiral
    Pitiful little girl...
[19:17] Admiral
    You'll die here because
    of your foolish father.
[19:49] Yaona
    Kaina! Kaina!
[19:53] Kaina
    Yaona...
[19:55] Yaona
    Kaina!
[19:57] Kaina
    What happened to me? Where are we?
[20:01] Yaona
    We managed to reach our destination.
[20:05] Kaina
    Really? I'm so glad to hear that.
[20:09] Kaina
    The last thing I remember is
    slamming into a root.
[20:14] Kaina
    Did you carry me all the way here?
[20:16] Yaona
    Yeah.
[20:17] Kaina
    Thanks.
[20:18] Yaona
    I'm so glad you're awake.
[20:22] Kaina
    Wait, it's nighttime?
[20:24] Yaona
    We didn't make it in time.
[20:27] Kaina
    No. That can't be!
[20:47] Kaina
    Yaona, look over there.
[20:49] Yaona
    Huh?
[20:57] Kaina
    It's Ririha.
[20:58] Yaona
    What? Where? Really?
[21:02] Kaina
    Yaona, thanks for saving me.
