[00:01] SILDONIA
    You made it past numerous
    challenges to stand before me.
[00:05] SILDONIA
    You deserve praise for—
[00:07] KYLE
    Shh! My friends will hear us.
[00:09] SILDONIA
    H-How dare you?! Do you have any idea who I—
[00:13] KYLE
    I'm asking you to quiet down.
[00:15] KYLE
    I do know who you are.
[00:17] KYLE
    You're a facsimile of
     Magic Queen Sildonia Xarles,
[00:20] KYLE
    who reigned during the ancient magic
    kingdom's peak, crafted by the queen herself.
[00:25] SILDONIA
    H-How do you know that?
[00:27] KYLE
    I'll explain later.
[00:28] KYLE
    Also, we skipped your traps
    and riddles to get here.
[00:31] KYLE
    We dug a shortcut.
[00:33] SILDONIA
    How dare you do that to my tomb?!
[00:36] KYLE
    Anyway, can you see to the final trial?
[00:39] KYLE
    I'm pulling out the sword.
[00:40] SILDONIA
    You know about that too? Just who are you?
[00:44] KYLE
    You'll see soon enough.
[00:56] KYLE
    Here we go.
[01:02] SILDONIA
    Perfect Reading.
[01:13] SILDONIA
    Is this true?
[01:16] KYLE
    Yeah. You read my memories, didn't you?
[01:18] KYLE
    I have the Divine Dragon's Heart too.
[01:21] SILDONIA
    I don't believe it.
[01:22] SILDONIA
    I knew time travel magic existed, but...
[01:26] LIESE
    Kyle, are you over here?
[01:28] KYLE
    Not good! My friends don't
     know about any of this.
[01:31] KYLE
    Just follow my lead, okay?
[01:33] SILDONIA
    What?
[01:33] KYLE
    Please!
[01:34] SILDONIA
    You're a real pain, you know?
[01:37] LIESE
    Kyle, what are you doing?
[01:39] KYLE
    Whoa, a legendary intelligent sword!
[01:42] KYLE
    And your name is Sildonia Xarles?!
[01:45] ALL
    What?
[01:49] SILDONIA
    Liese, was it? These treats are quite tasty.
[01:53] LIESE
    They're just simple provisions
    I made before we left.
[01:57] LIESE
    Say, are you really the magic queen?
[01:59] SILDONIA
    To be precise, a part of her.
[02:01] SILDONIA
    I am a magic life form created to evaluate
    whether you're worthy of my treasure.
[02:07] THERON
    And yet you eat treats?
[02:09] SILDONIA
    I'm converting them into magic
    power to support myself.
[02:12] SILDONIA
    They're not going to waste.
[02:14] LIESE
    Why do you look like a child?
[02:16] SILDONIA
    I froze my growth at the age
     my magic power peaked.
[02:20] SILDONIA
    I looked like this until the day I died.
[02:24] SILDONIA
    If you weren't worthy of my treasure,
[02:27] SILDONIA
    I would've triggered the final trap
     and destroyed the labyrinth,
[02:31] SILDONIA
    but you intrigue me.
[02:34] SILDONIA
    You have my approval for now.
[02:35] SILDONIA
    You may use that sword as you please.
[02:40] KYLE
    Thanks. I appreciate it.
[02:42] SILDONIA
    Take that apport bag as well.
[02:44] SILDONIA
    It connects to the treasure room,
    so it's convenient for getting treasure.
[02:48] THERON
    Hey, I use a sword too.
[02:51] THERON
    Why not let me use you instead of Kyle?
[02:53] SILDONIA
    What?
[02:58] SILDONIA
    Physiological incompatibility.
[03:00] LIESE
    You get rejected for that all the time.
[03:02] URZA
    Tastes haven't changed in a thousand years.
[04:38] SILDONIA
    Delicious! Just delicious!
[04:43] KYLE
    You can eat later.
[04:48] SILDONIA
    Something smells lovely
    at the stalls over there too.
[04:50] THERON
    You're like a country kid in
    the big city for the first time.
[04:53] LIESE
    Where are we going now?
[04:55] KYLE
    Well, we've got our treasure.
[04:57] KYLE
    So to prepare for our upcoming battles,
[04:59] KYLE
    we'll need high-quality gear.
[05:04] GUIDE
    Welcome.
[05:05] GUIDE
    Have you business at our shop?
[05:07] KYLE
    Yeah. I'd like to purchase equipment.
[05:10] GUIDE
    Pardon, but do you have
    a referral from anyone?
[05:14] KYLE
    Oh, right. You need deposits from new
    customers before they enter the store.
[05:18] GUIDE
    I'm sorry, but we'll ask a deposit
     of ten thousand gadols.
[05:23] KYLE
    Is five gold Xarles coins
    enough for the four of us?
[05:28] GUIDE
    Thank you for your patronage.
[05:30] GUIDE
    Allow me to show you inside.
[05:35] FESBA
    Welcome. I am Fesba, the shopkeeper.
[05:38] SILDONIA
    Ah, this is Melanis's handiwork.
[05:41] FESBA
    I'm impressed you recognize it.
[05:43] FESBA
    He was an extraordinary craftsman
    of the ancient magic kingdom.
[05:47] SILDONIA
    He wasn't that great.
[05:49] FESBA
    What?
[05:50] SILDONIA
    He was rather proud.
[05:52] SILDONIA
    He'd tear up when I started
    pointing out flaws in his work.
[05:56] FESBA
    What?
[05:56] KYLE
    Please, ignore all that.
[05:58] KYLE
    The kid here's just got a fertile imagination.
[06:00] FESBA
    Oh, do pardon me.
[06:06] SILDONIA
    My, these treats are tasty as well.
[06:10] FESBA
    This here is our shop's flagship product.
[06:12] KYLE
    Dragon leather armor, huh?
[06:14] FESBA
    Yes. In addition to the physical
    and magical protections of dragon hide,
[06:20] FESBA
    we've added heat, cold, and poison resistance.
[06:23] FESBA
    The lining is made of phoenix feathers,
    so you can imagine the price.
[06:28] KYLE
    Okay, I'll take it.
[06:30] FESBA
    What? O-Of course...
[06:32] KYLE
    What about you, Theron?
[06:33] THRON
    We'd be matching. Hard pass.
[06:36] KYLE
    We're getting our equipment here,
    so pick out everything you need.
[06:40] LIESE
    Okay!
[06:42] URZA
    What should I get?
[06:47] KYLE
    It's lighter and easier to move in
     than I expected.
[06:50] LIESE
    Yeah. These gauntlets seem nice too.
[06:54] URZA
    A spirit stone amulet, huh?
[06:56] URZA
    This is my first time wearing one.
[06:57] THERON
    Got any swords that'll make
    the babes swoon over me?
[07:02] THERON
    Especially babes like you—
[07:03] FEMALE EMPLOYEE
    I'll bring one right away!
[07:06] KYLE
    Can I see your magic stones?
[07:08] FESBA
    Certainly.
[07:10] FESBA
    For offense, how about these
     enchanted with Explosion?
[07:16] KYLE
    Sounds useful.
[07:17] KYLE
    Do you have anything highly effective
    against reptilian monsters?
[07:21] FESBA
    But of course, sir.
[07:24] KYLE
    A Blizzard stone, huh?
[07:26] FESBA
    Yes. Enchanting stones with cold spells
     is tricky, so they're fairly expensive.
[07:33] KYLE
    We'll take all you've got of both.
[07:35] FESBA
    Every single one, sir?!
[07:36] KYLE
    If you've got healing potions,
    we'll take all of those too.
[07:39] FESBA
    All of them?!
[07:41] KYLE
    It would be a hefty load in coins,
    so may I pay with gems as well?
[07:47] KYLE
    That should be about ten million gadols.
[07:49] FESBA
    Ten million gadols?!
[07:53] ALL
    Thank you very much.
[07:55] ALL
    We look forward to your next visit.
[07:58] THERON
    Man, that was quite a shopping spree.
[08:00] THERON
    I hope no one spreads any nasty rumors.
[08:03] KYLE
    That won't be a problem.
[08:04] KYLE
    We'll be leaving tomorrow.
[08:05] THERON
    We're only here for a night?
[08:07] THERON
    Then I've got no time to waste!
[08:09] LIESE
    I think I'll take a look around too.
[08:11] LIESE
    It's not often I'm in the royal capital.
[08:13] URZA
    I'll show you around.
[08:14] URZA
    I've been here before.
[08:16] LIESE
    Really? Thanks!
[08:18] URZA
    We'll be back.
[08:19] LIESE
    See you later!
[08:22] KYLE/ID
    Those two have gotten close.
[08:24] KYLE/ID
    I feel kind of conflicted about it.
[08:26] SILDONIA
    Then I shall be off as well!
[08:28] SILDONIA
    I spy tasty stalls over—
[08:29] KYLE
    Wait. There's something I
    want to discuss with you.
[08:33] KYLE
    While the others aren't around.
[08:36] SILDONIA
    Right...
[08:41] KYLE
    First, I'd like to confirm something.
[08:42] KYLE
    Is it truly possible to change the future?
[08:46] SILDONIA
    That's an odd way to put it.
[08:48] SILDONIA
    The future, by definition,
    is not set in stone.
[08:52] KYLE
    What do you mean?
[08:54] SILDONIA
    When you traveled back in time,
    you simultaneously came to a new world.
[08:59] SILDONIA
    This is just my theory,
[09:01] SILDONIA
    but there isn't a single timeline.
[09:03] SILDONIA
    Time splits into numerous
    lines like tree branches.
[09:06] SILDONIA
    And your soul jumped
    from one branch to another.
[09:10] SILDONIA
    As evidence of this, the Divine
    Dragon's Heart you used as a catalyst
[09:14] SILDONIA
    was also transported here alongside you.
[09:18] KYLE
    Then if this is a new world, it won't
    necessarily follow the same history.
[09:22] SILDONIA
    Not identically, at least.
[09:25] SILDONIA
    Although the broad strokes will be the same.
[09:28] SILDONIA
    At this rate, the Great Invasion
    will almost certainly occur.
[09:33] KYLE
    I see...
[09:35] SILDONIA
    Naturally, that's only if you or I do nothing.
[09:39] SILDONIA
    It should be possible for us to forge a new
    history through our actions and involvement,
[09:43] SILDONIA
    though it will probably prove difficult.
[09:46] KYLE
    Yeah.
[09:47] KYLE
    That's enough for me.
[09:50] KYLE
    But wait a minute.
[09:52] KYLE
    There are two Divine Dragon's Hearts
     in this world now, right?
[09:55] KYLE
    But only one of me.
[09:57] SILDONIA
    Yes, I have a theory about that as well.
[10:00] SILDONIA
    The most forbidden of magics is a
    fusion spell that is never to be named.
[10:05] KYLE
    Fusion spell?
[10:07] KYLE
    What is that? I've never heard of it.
[10:09] SILDONIA
    Simply put, it's a way to increase
    one's magic power by fusing souls.
[10:15] KYLE
    Increase your magic power?
[10:17] SILDONIA
    Your magic power is determined
    at birth by the constitution of your soul.
[10:21] SILDONIA
    In ancient Xarles, we researched
    ways to strengthen souls themselves.
[10:27] SILDONIA
    This can be done by fusing them,
    but there are many problems with that.
[10:31] KYLE
    Did you fail?
[10:33] SILDONIA
    Indeed. We tried using the souls of infants
    and experimented with artificial souls.
[10:41] SILDONIA
    Thinking back on it, we feared nothing.
    Not even the gods.
[10:45] SILDONIA
    But I digress.
[10:47] SILDONIA
    There are now two Divine Dragon's Hearts.
[10:50] SILDONIA
    So what do you think happened to the soul
    of the Kyle Leonard in this world?
[10:56] KYLE
    What happened to it? You don't mean...
[10:59] SILDONIA
    That's right. It's right here.
[11:02] SILDONIA
    The soul fusing I mentioned happened
    to you without you realizing it.
[11:09] SILDONIA
    Your soul should have been strengthened
    and your magic power doubled.
[11:14] SILDONIA
    Does that ring any bells?
[11:16] KYLE
    Now that you mention it...
[11:21] SILDONIA
    It's possible you'll be able to use
    the highest level of spells in the future.
[11:27] KYLE
    Me, use the highest spells there are?
[11:30] SILDONIA
    It's just a theory.
[11:33] SILDONIA
    Whether or not you can master
    them is another matter,
[11:37] SILDONIA
    and all the effects won't
    necessarily be good.
[11:39] KYLE
    Will there be negative effects?
[11:42] SILDONIA
    Who knows? This is unprecedented.
[11:46] SILDONIA
    So if you notice anything unusual,
    don't hesitate to mention it.
[11:50] SILDONIA
    I'll gladly give you advice again.
[11:54] KYLE
    Thanks. I appreciate it.
[12:09] LIESE
    I've gotten used to camping out,
     but beds sure are nice.
[12:13] URZA
    Agreed.
[12:19] LIESE
    You're not going to bed yet, Urza?
[12:21] URZA
    No. Every month, I look forward to bathing
    in the light of the full moon.
[12:28] LIESE
    All right. In that case, I'm turning in first.
[12:33] LIESE
    Good night.
[12:34] URZA
    Yeah, good night.
[12:42] URZA/ID
    I wasn't sure how it would go at first,
    but this trip hasn't been so bad.
[12:47] URZA/ID
    Liese is a good girl.
[12:49] URZA/ID
    We get along well too.
[12:51] URZA/ID
    Sildonia has such vast knowledge, so always
    has something interesting to share.
[12:56] URZA/ID
    Theron is... well, he's fun to watch.
[13:00] URZA/ID
    And then there's Kyle.
[13:03] URZA/ID
    He's strange.
[13:05] URZA/ID
    He looks at me like he sees right through me.
[13:11] URZA/ID
    Yet for some reason,
    that doesn't bother me.
[13:16] LIESE
    No!
[13:19] LIESE
    I'm the only one... allowed at Kyle's side...
[13:24] URZA
    Talking in her sleep?
[13:32] URZA
    O great Goddess Muna, bless this journey.
[13:46] URZA
    Wait, I totally forgot!
[13:54] KYLE
    My stamina has improved some,
    but I still have a long way to go.
[14:00] SILDONIA
    The Phantom Training Method?
[14:02] SILDONIA
    We didn't have that in my day.
[14:05] KYLE
    It doesn't compare to actual battle, though.
[14:09] KYLE
    This is truly an amazing sword.
[14:12] KYLE
    It feels like an extension of my body.
[14:14] SILDONIA
    Of course it does.
[14:15] SILDONIA
    I am the embodiment of
    Xarles's magic technology.
[14:18] SILDONIA
    There is no greater blade
    forged by humanoid hands.
[14:22] KYLE
    I've used mithril swords before,
    but none compared to this.
[14:28] SILDONIA
    To be precise, that's not made of mithril.
[14:30] KYLE
    What? Then...
[14:32] URZA
    Kyle!
[14:36] URZA
    I... I finally found you.
[14:38] KYLE
    What's going on? It's late.
[14:40] URZA
    The Application of the Contract!
[14:42] URZA
    We can only do it now during the full moon!
[14:44] KYLE
    Oh, I forgot.
[14:46] URZA
    You're the one who suggested it!
[14:48] KYLE
    I know, but...
[14:51] KYLE
    Let's do it another time.
[14:53] URZA
    That would be a month from now!
[14:55] URZA
    My true name is at stake!
[14:58] KYLE
    Okay, fine. If you insist.
[15:01] URZA
    You don't have to sound so bothered!
[15:07] URZA/ID
    Normally, in an Application of the Contract,
    we would offer each other our true names
[15:12] URZA/ID
    and swear to remain together for life.
[15:15] URZA/ID
    They're performed at marriage ceremonies.
[15:18] URZA/ID
    When I first heard about it, my heart fluttered.
[15:22] URZA/ID
    Yet now things have wound up like this.
[15:25] URZA/ID
    I never dreamed of doing this with
    a man I've only known half a month.
[15:30] URZA
    I'm ready. Stand here.
[15:35] URZA
    Don't fall asleep!
[15:36] KYLE
    Oh, sorry.
[15:38] KYLE
    I thought this would be simpler.
[15:40] URZA
    Just stand there. Let's begin.
[15:44] URZA
    I will now perform the
    Application of the Contract.
[15:55] KYLE/ID
    From here, it'll be just like last time.
[16:07] URZA
    In the name of the great moon deity Muna,
[16:11] URZA
    I, Urza Eksess, command you.
[16:14] URZA
    I forbid you from sharing
    my true name or using it for evil.
[16:17] URZA
    Do you swear to this?
[16:18] KYLE
    I do.
[16:35] URZA
    Wh-Wh-What?!
[16:36] KYLE
    Huh?
[16:37] URZA
    What do you think you're doing?!
[16:39] KYLE
    I thought we sealed the contract with a kiss.
[16:42] KYLE
    Was I wrong?
[16:42] URZA
    That's like a bonus you
    do at wedding ceremonies!
[16:45] URZA
    The contract is complete
    once you swear to its terms!
[16:48] KYLE
    Oh, really? In that case...
[16:52] KYLE
    I guess this was an unfortunate accident.
[16:56] URZA
    Since we've already got a magic circle,
[16:59] URZA
    I shall also perform a contract
    with a salamander fire spirit.
[17:02] KYLE
    What?
[17:03] URZA
    My first command is to scorch
    the sexual offender before me.
[17:08] KYLE
    What?!
[17:21] LIESE
    Why are you three so sleepy?
[17:23] KYLE
    There was an unfortunate incident.
[17:26] URZA
    Shut up. Don't speak of it.
[17:29] LIESE
    Kyle, you smell burnt.
[17:31] KYLE
    That was an unfortunate
    misunderstanding as well...
[17:34] KYLE
    I mean, it's nothing.
[17:37] KYLE
    By the way, we've done
    the Application of the Contract,
[17:40] KYLE
    but can I assume you'll
    continue to travel with us?
[17:43] URZA
    I have no other choice.
[17:44] URZA
    I still haven't heard how or why
     you know my true name.
[17:50] URZA
    I can't let you out of my sight.
[17:53] KYLE
    Yeah, sounds like you have no choice.
[17:56] THERON
    By the way, I'm sleepy because—
[17:59] LIESE
    I'm sure you were up late hitting
    on women and getting shot down.
[18:03] THERON
    Not just up late! I was at it all night long!
[18:05] THERON
    City women being easier is a total lie!
[18:08] LIESE
    Ignore him. Why are we going to Archen next?
[18:12] KYLE
    Oh, because... Sildonia apparently
    has a bit of a prophetic ability.
[18:18] SILDONIA
    Huh?
[18:19] KYLE
    According to the reading,
    we should head to Archen next.
[18:23] SILDONIA
    A-Ah, yes, indeed. That's right.
[18:26] SILDONIA
    I do possess such an ability. Yes.
[18:30] LIESE
    Really? That reaction seems odd.
[18:32] KYLE
    Just your imagination.
[18:41] LIESE
    This is quite a crowd.
[18:43] THERON
    Apparently, Princess Milena is
    coming to express her condolences.
[18:47] THERON
    I've always wanted to see her.
[18:49] LIESE
    Then we got lucky.
[18:51] URZA
    This is my first time seeing her as well.
[18:58] THERON
    Here she is.
[19:07] LIESE
    Princess Milena de Zirgus,
    Zirgus's pride and joy...
[19:12] URZA
    She's the future queen.
[19:15] THERON
    She's as pretty as they say.
[19:17] LIESE
    She really is.
[19:26] MILENA
    Are you all right?
[19:29] MILENA
    Are you unhurt?
[19:30] NINOS
    Y-Yeah.
[19:33] MILENA
    What pretty flowers. Thank you.
[19:39] TOWNSFOLK A
    She's so kind.
[19:41] TOWNSFOLK B
    I heard she made time in her
    busy schedule for this visit.
[19:45] TOWNSFOLK C
    What a wonderful princess.
[19:51] KYLE/ID
    Zentos...
[20:04] SILDONIA
    Kyle, are you certain it's this princess?
[20:08] KYLE
    Yeah. Princess Milena is sixteen years old.
[20:13] KYLE
    She's destined to die two days from now.
[20:23] KYLE
    Two days from now, in the early morning,
    while heading from Archen to Sanes Village,
[20:28] KYLE
    the princess's caravan gets
     attacked by a hydra.
[20:31] KYLE
    The forests near Archen have always
    been infested with monsters,
[20:35] KYLE
    and Sanes Village was attacked
    by a hydra a month ago.
[20:40] KYLE
    The princess has come to Archen
    upon learning of it.
[20:43] KYLE
    And next, she'll head to the
    still dangerous Sanes Village,
[20:47] KYLE
    only to be cut down on the way there.
[20:50] KYLE
    People will say it's a tragedy
    caused by her goodwill and bad luck,
[20:55] KYLE
    but if you ask me, it's the natural
     outcome of her reckless actions.
[21:00] SILDONIA
    There was no funny business
    behind it, was there?
[21:04] SILDONIA
    Like an assassination made to look
     like the work of monsters.
[21:09] KYLE
    Well, following the princess's death,
     there were all kinds of rumors.
[21:13] KYLE
    The most suspicion was cast upon
    the princess's half-brother, Prince Carenas.
[21:19] KYLE
    As a concubine's child,
    he's second in line for the throne.
[21:22] KYLE
    He benefits the most from her death.
[21:26] KYLE
    And even more suspiciously,
    Prince Carenas is in town right now.
[21:31] SILDONIA
    Oh? But no one's talking about that.
[21:36] KYLE
    He's a shut-in and won't make
     public appearances.
[21:39] SILDONIA
    How very suspicious.
[21:41] KYLE
    Well, I said there were rumors, but in the end,
     it was deemed an unfortunate accident.
[21:47] SILDONIA
    And now you're trying to use
    that unfortunate accident?
[21:53] KYLE
    Yeah. I'll gallantly show up to save
    Zirgus's pride and joy when she's in danger.
[21:58] KYLE
    It'll make the perfect start
     to my heroic tale.
