[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
