[01:38] Leon
    Yo.
[01:40] Inglis
    Is that an Artifact?
[01:42] Eris
    Do you mean to betray us?
[01:44] Leon
    Something like that, yes.
[01:47] Eris
    When you said you'd lick a Highlander's
    boots if you had to, that wasn't a joke?
[01:48] Inglis
    Is he planning to stop us from hurting Rahl
    as a way to win the Highlander's favor?
[01:54] Leon
    Don't be stupid. Of course it was a joke.
[01:57] Leon
    I'm a holy knight, you know.
[02:00] Leon
    I'm ready to throw away my life
    for the people of this nation.
[02:05] Leon
    You saw what happened, right?
[02:07] Leon
    Right now, the Highlanders can do
[02:09] Leon
    whatever they want, and no one
    on the surface can stop them.
[02:13] Leon
    It's a holy knight's duty
    to protect the people, right?
[02:16] Leon
    But I can't do shit. And it makes me sick.
[02:20] Eris
    But without the Highland's help,
[02:22] Eris
    we can't protect the surface nations
    from the magicite beasts!
[02:25] Eris
    There's some things
    we just have to accept...
[02:28] Leon
    I don't like that.
[02:30] Leon
    I don't want either the Highlanders or the
    magicite beasts hurting innocent people.
[02:34] Eris
    And there's a way to stop them?
[02:36] Leon
    Ever heard of the Bloodchain Brigade?
[02:39] Inglis
    No.
[02:40] Eris
    An anti-Highland guerrilla organization.
[02:43] Eris
    In other countries, Highlanders
    have destroyed entire towns
[02:46] Eris
    after the Brigade killed
    one of their number.
[02:49] Eris
    All they do is spread chaos!
[02:51] Leon
    You're only seeing one side of the story.
[02:54] Leon
    The real goal of the Bloodchain Brigade
[02:57] Leon
    is to turn their blood to chains of iron
    and drag the Highland down to earth.
[03:02] Inglis
    So you'll defeat the Highlanders,
[03:03] Inglis
    steal their technology, and spread
    it among the people on the surface?
[03:07] Leon
    You're a smart one.
[03:10] Leon
    That way, we can keep ourselves safe
    from the magicite beasts
[03:12] Leon
    without needing to suck up
    to the Highlanders to do it.
[03:15] Leon
    The ideal outcome, don't you think?
[03:17] Eris
    And that's why you decided to betray us?
[03:19] Leon
    They've been trying to
    recruit me for a while,
[03:22] Leon
    and what happened tonight
    was the push I needed.
[03:24] Eris
    You can't fight the Highland and win!
[03:27] Leon
    And that's why I wanted
    to bring you with me.
[03:32] Leon
    If they can get a Hyral Menas to research,
[03:34] Leon
    they might be able to discover how to make
    Artifacts without the Highlanders' help.
[03:37] Eris
    No.
[03:39] Eris
    I refuse to take part in something that will
    lead countless people to their deaths!
[03:42] Leon
    Want to come with me, Inglis?
[03:44] Inglis
    I must decline.
[03:46] Leon
    So you're like Eris? You want
    to keep things as they are?
[03:49] Inglis
    Nope! But the way I see it, if I side with
    Eris, I might get a chance to fight you!
[03:57] Eris
    S-She's crazy...
[04:00] Inglis
    I can understand what you're saying.
[04:03] Inglis
    But I've stopped connecting
    power with justice.
[04:07] Inglis
    I've lived one life that way already.
[04:11] Inglis
    If you want to take Eris, come and get her!
[04:15] Leon
    I saw enough of that last fight
    to tell you're strong.
[04:18] Leon
    It's hard to believe a cute little girl
    can be so tough.
[04:21] Leon
    As an adult, I should go easy on you,
    but I'll give you all I've got!
[04:28] Eris
    Be careful!
[04:29] Eris
    That's a high-level Artifact that Leon's got!
[04:32] Eris
    It has a gift that allows it
    to command lightning beasts!
[04:39] Inglis
    By my eye, about thirty.
[04:40] Leon
    Two of you, follow me.
[04:43] Leon
    The rest, go get Inglis.
[04:46] Inglis
    Eris is injured.
[04:49] Inglis
    He means to stall me, and then spirit
    her away while I am thus occupied.
[04:53] Inglis
    A shrewd stratagem!
[04:58] Eris
    If you hit them with a strong attack,
    they'll explode!
[05:03] Inglis
    You sliced it in half? From that distance?
[05:05] Inglis
    Next time we fight, use that skill!
[05:08] Eris
    No!
[05:09] Eris
    I'm not like you!
    I don't fight because I enjoy it!
[05:14] Leon
    You can't fire that one off
    very often, can you?
[05:17] Leon
    You used it just to tell
    Inglis to be careful, huh?
[05:20] Leon
    That was nice of you.
[05:22] Leon
    So you're a tsundere, huh?
[05:24] Eris
    Shut up!
[05:25] Inglis
    Oh, I hadn't realized!
[05:27] Inglis
    Hang on! I'll come help you!
[05:45] Eris
    Idiot! I just said...
[05:54] Eris
    Wh-What happened?
[05:55] Leon
    What's going on?
[05:57] Inglis
    I figured it out, Eris!
[05:59] Inglis
    If you can't dodge their
    explosions at close range,
[06:02] Inglis
    then you just need to boost
    your defense so much...
[06:08] Inglis
    that the explosions don't hurt you, right?
[06:10] Eris
    I was trying to tell you
    to attack from a distance!
[06:13] Inglis
    This is faster, though!
[06:16] Inglis
    I can surround myself with waves of
    compressed aether—an Aether Shell—
[06:20] Inglis
    to absorb the blast wave from the explosions!
[06:29] Inglis
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[06:31] Eris
    You're dreadful.
[06:33] Eris
    How could you tell me to use my full strength
    when you weren't using yours?
[06:37] Inglis
    That's not true.
[06:39] Inglis
    The flaw in this technique is that
    it can't be maintained for long.
[06:43] Leon
    You're incredible, kid.
[06:45] Leon
    I don't think either Eris or I
    could handle you alone.
[06:51] Leon
    Which means you're a monster
    on par with a Prismer.
[06:55] Inglis
    Yes! I'm training to get to the point
    where I can defeat one on my own!
[06:59] Eris
    Are you serious?
[07:01] Leon
    It's good to dream big!
[07:03] Leon
    Maybe you'll be invincible in the future,
[07:05] Leon
    but for now, I'm just going to
    hope that you've got a weakness.
[07:07] Leon
    For example, you can't keep that little
    trick of yours up for long, can you?
[07:13] Inglis
    He's sharp. And strong of conviction.
[07:17] Inglis
    In my previous life, he would have
    been one of my most trusted men.
[07:20] Inglis
    And if that's true?
[07:22] Leon
    What else? We see who breaks first!
[07:29] Inglis
    Not happening.
[07:30] Leon
    Seriously?
[07:32] Inglis
    It's not nice to stare at a girl's legs.
[07:37] Leon
    You're the one shoving them in my face!
[07:44] Inglis
    I said, not happening!
[07:51] Inglis
    Rani!
[08:04] Eris
    A magicite beast!
[08:13] Inglis
    Rani!
[08:14] Inglis
    I won't let her be harmed!
[08:16] Inglis
    I will protect Rani, no matter what!
[08:19] Inglis
    To master the blade, I decided to
    live this life beholden to none...
[08:25] Inglis
    But this is the one promise I made to myself!
[08:32] Inglis
    My vow as "Inglis Eucus"!
[08:37] Inglis
    Rani, are you okay?
[08:40] Rafinha
    Thank you, Chris!
[08:42] Inglis
    What are you doing here?
[08:44] Rafinha
    It wouldn't be right to make you
    do this all by yourself!
[08:49] Rafinha
    So I was going to go on ahead
    and teach Rahl a lesson myself.
[08:53] Rafinha
    But when I was inside, waiting,
[08:56] Rafinha
    he suddenly started to scream in pain,
    and then he turned into that thing...
[09:01] Inglis
    That's Rahl?
[09:03] Rahl
    Inglis!
[09:06] Inglis
    That's my name...
[09:08] Inglis
    But how?
[09:10] Inglis
    I've never heard of a human
    becoming a magicite beast!
[09:13] Leon
    I drugged him.
[09:16] Eris
    Leon!
[09:17] Rafinha
    What do you mean?
[09:19] Leon
    It's called Prism Powder.
[09:21] Leon
    A drug made of condensed
    Prism Flow, they said.
[09:26] Leon
    The Bloodchain Brigade created it.
[09:28] Leon
    They gave me some last time
    they tried to recruit me.
[09:31] Leon
    It's harmless to surface people,
    but if you use it on a Highlander...
[09:34] Leon
    Well, you can see for yourselves.
[09:36] Eris
    There's no way to cure him?
[09:38] Leon
    Of course not.
[09:39] Leon
    In any case, he deserves a miserable death.
[09:43] Leon
    Anyway, I'll be going.
[09:46] Leon
    Between you and Inglis, he's no threat.
[09:51] Leon
    Explode!
[09:58] Inglis
    He got away.
[10:00] Rafinha
    What's going on?
[10:02] Rafinha
    Why is Leon...
[10:03] Inglis
    I'll explain later.
[10:05] Rahl
    Inglis!
[10:08] Inglis
    It may be what he deserves, but I still
    feel pity seeing him in this state.
[10:12] Inglis
    I'll at least put you down
    without making you suffer!
[10:16] Rafinha
    Chris!
[10:17] Inglis
    There's only one way
    to end this in a single strike.
[10:22] Inglis
    But if I were to do that here,
    it would raze not only the mansion
[10:26] Inglis
    but also a large chunk of the town.
[10:28] Inglis
    Is there a means by which
    the townsfolk may be spared?
[10:38] Inglis
    That's it!
[10:42] Bilford
    Rafinha! Inglis!
[10:43] Bilford
    Are you all right?
[10:44] Rafinha
    Father! You came!
[10:47] Bilford
    I'm sorry! I was wrong!
[10:50] Bilford
    I should never have left the two of you
    to shoulder this on your own!
[10:53] Rahl
    Inglis!
[10:56] Bilford
    A magicite beast?
[10:57] Ada
    Don't let it leave the grounds!
[10:59] Ada
    Split up!
[11:00] Inglis
    Wait!
[11:01] Inglis
    Eris is going to help us!
[11:04] Inglis
    Eris!
[11:07] Eris
    What are you planning on doing?
[11:09] Inglis
    Follow my lead!
[11:11] Inglis
    We'll kick it!
[11:12] Rahl
    Inglis!
[11:32] Bilford
    I-It landed all the way out of the city.
[11:35] Inglis
    Way to go, Eris!
[11:37] Inglis
    You're so powerful!
[11:38] Eris
    What are you saying?
[11:40] Eris
    I'm not strong enough to kick it that far.
[11:42] Inglis
    Follow. My. Lead.
[11:48] Inglis
    Now, let's finish this!
[11:52] Rahl
    Inglis!
[11:57] Inglis
    It's still standing.
[11:59] Eris
    What was that you just did?
[12:02] Eris
    You made it look like I was
    the one who kicked it...
[12:04] Rafinha
    Chris doesn't want people
    knowing about her power.
[12:08] Rafinha
    If people knew there was somebody who could
    defeat a magicite beast without a Rune,
[12:12] Rafinha
    it would cause chaos, she says.
[12:13] Eris
    I see.
[12:15] Inglis
    That's the excuse I gave her,
[12:17] Inglis
    but the truth is, I just don't want to be
    stuck with the duty of protecting the town!
[12:22] Eris
    So, what do we do?
[12:23] Inglis
    Eris, is that magicite beast
    as strong as a Prismer?
[12:27] Eris
    No.
[12:28] Eris
    It's strong, I think, but it's like the
    difference between an adult and a child.
[12:32] Inglis
    So I need to be able to defeat it in
    one hit if I want to fight a Prismer.
[12:40] Rafinha
    Chris!
[12:40] Eris
    What are you doing?
[12:42] Inglis
    Just watch!
[12:45] Rahl
    Inglis!
[12:53] Eris
    What is that power she's using?
[12:55] Inglis
    It's been twelve years since then...
[12:58] Inglis
    This is the perfect chance to test the power
    I've spent this whole time training!
[13:04] Rahl
    Inglis!
[13:08] Inglis
    Rahl... Goodbye.
[13:13] Inglis
    Aether...
[13:14] Inglis
    Strike!
[13:33] Eris
    W-Wow!
[13:35] Rafinha
    That's my Chris!
[13:41] Rafinha
    Chris!
[13:42] Eris
    You okay?
[13:44] Inglis
    I'm a little tired, I think.
[13:47] Inglis
    I don't have enough stamina.
    Gotta train more.
[13:50] Eris
    You're crazy...
[13:52] Inglis
    What you said was right, Rani.
[13:55] Rafinha
    What did I say?
[13:57] Inglis
    If you make a wish upon the Highland,
    it'll come true.
[14:00] Inglis
    Today's fight was a pretty good one.
[14:05] Eris
    I'll tell everyone that
    this was Leon's doing,
[14:08] Eris
    and that he betrayed us
    for the Bloodchain Brigade.
[14:10] Eris
    I'll make sure nobody blames you or Ymir.
[14:14] Rafinha
    Please do!
[14:16] Inglis
    And tell everyone that it was you
    who defeated the magicite beast, too.
[14:20] Eris
    Well, if that's what you want, but...
[14:24] Inglis
    But?
[14:25] Eris
    You owe me one.
[14:27] Eris
    Repay that debt someday.
[14:29] Inglis
    Okay, got it!
[14:32] Eris
    Goodbye.
[14:33] Inglis
    Um, may I ask something?
[14:36] Eris
    What is it?
[14:37] Inglis
    When we were introduced at the party,
    you seemed upset about something.
[14:42] Inglis
    Why was that?
[14:45] Eris
    Sorry.
[14:47] Eris
    You may find out someday,
    but I don't want to say it.
[14:52] Eris
    I don't want people finding out
    if I can help it.
[15:01] Rafinha
    Here I go, Chris!
[15:02] Inglis
    Okay, Rani!
SIGN    Rafinha   Age 15
[15:14] Rafinha
    Wow!
[15:15] Rafinha
    I doubled the number of arrows, too!
[15:18] Inglis
    Yeah! Your bow's getting
    stronger and stronger!
SIGN    Inglis   Age 15
[15:21] Inglis
    It's worth dodging!
[15:23] Rafinha
    What does "worth dodging" mean?
[15:25] Inglis
    Oh, it's time to go!
[15:28] Rafinha
    No way! I'm not packed!
[15:28] Narrator
    On this day, 15-year-old Inglis and
    Rafinha would set out for the capital.
[15:31] Inglis
    Rani, you silly girl.
[15:35] Narrator
    They were to enroll in the knights'
    academy in the capital city of Kyral.
[15:40] Bilford
    Take good care of Rafinha.
[15:43] Inglis
    I will, Your Grace!
[15:44] Rafinha
    If any boys go after her, drive them off!
[15:48] Inglis
    Leave it to me!
[15:50] Narrator
    Rafinha would train to be a knight,
    and Inglis, to be her squire.
[16:00] Narrator
    They would leave behind the home
    they'd known for their whole lives,
[16:04] Narrator
    and make the month-long
    journey to the capital.
SIGN    Town of Nova
[16:11] Rafinha
    The ruler of this town is a Highlander?
[16:14] Innkeeper
    Yup. They just took over last year.
[16:18] Rafinha
    And they haven't done
    anything terrible, right?
[16:21] Innkeeper
    Not at all!
[16:22] Innkeeper
    If anything, life's better
    than it was under our last ruler.
[16:26] Innkeeper
    All the townspeople are grateful.
[16:29] Rafinha
    I see...
[16:32] Rafinha
    I guess not all Highlanders are bad.
[16:36] Inglis
    Yeah.
[16:38] Rafinha
    Traveling is so fun!
[16:40] Rafinha
    There's so much good food everywhere!
[16:43] Inglis
    Yup.
[16:43] Inglis
    But if we don't cut back a little,
    we're going to run low on funds.
[16:47] Rafinha
    Huh? But it's only been ten days
    since we left Ymir!
[16:52] Rafinha
    This is because you eat so much, Chris.
[16:56] Inglis
    You too! You eat enough
    for four people every meal!
[17:00] Rafinha
    But without money, we can't
    eat yummy food on our trip!
[17:05] Innkeep
    Why not go help at the castle?
[17:09] Inglis
    The castle?
[17:10] Innkeep
    Our ruler is hiring knights and mercenaries
    to help with magicite beast attacks.
[17:17] Innkeep
    You two are both knights,
    or so it seems to me.
[17:20] Inglis
    They're hiring mercenaries, huh?
[17:23] Rafinha
    Sounds like a job for us!
[17:27] Rafinha
    This feels so good!
[17:29] Rafinha
    The hiring exam was easy, huh?
[17:32] Inglis
    Sure was.
[17:35] Inglis
    We just had to fight a few knights.
[17:39] Rafinha
    They're giving us the good guest rooms, too!
[17:42] Rafinha
    And the bath is huge!
[17:46] Rafinha
    What's wrong?
[17:47] Inglis
    No, it's nothing.
[17:50] Inglis
    Something has been bothering me
    ever since I arrived.
[17:53] Inglis
    The flow of mana seems strange.
[17:56] Inglis
    It's like a small amount of mana is being
    drawn away from beneath everyone's feet.
[18:01] Inglis
    Like it's being drained...
[18:04] Rafinha
    Chris, I'll wash your back!
[18:07] Inglis
    O-Okay!
[18:10] Rafinha
    You're so lucky, Chris.
[18:12] Rafinha
    You have big breasts, and they're so pretty!
[18:15] Rafinha
    And a nice round butt, too!
[18:17] Inglis
    Don't say that... It's embarrassing.
[18:21] Rafinha
    I've got the body of a little girl.
    So I'm jealous!
[18:25] Rafinha
    It's not fair.
[18:29] Rafinha
    They're so big and soft!
[18:31] Rafinha
    I wish mine were like that!
[18:32] Inglis
    Let me go!
[18:34] Seilyn
    You look like you're having fun.
[18:36] Seilyn
    Good evening.
[18:37] Both
    G-Good evening.
[18:42] Seilyn
    What's wrong?
[18:43] Inglis
    You're a Highlander?
[18:46] Seilyn
    Yes. I'm sorry for not
    introducing myself earlier.
[18:49] Seilyn
    I'm the magistrate of Nova, Seilyn.
[18:52] Inglis
    "Magistrate"? You're the town's ruler!
[18:55] Rafinha
    I-I'm sorry!
[18:57] Rafinha
    So this bath is for the ruler?!
[18:59] Inglis
    We didn't know...
[19:01] Seilyn
    It's fine.
[19:03] Seilyn
    I heard that a knight with a Greater Rune
[19:05] Seilyn
    and another warrior had arrived,
    so I wanted to meet them.
[19:10] Miyumi
    Lady Seilyn!
[19:12] Rino
    We want to take a bath too!
[19:15] Mimoza
    Rino! Miyumi! Chiko!
[19:17] Mimoza
    You know better than to interrupt
    our ruler when she's talking!
[19:20] Seilyn
    It's all right, Mimoza.
[19:22] Seilyn
    Come in, girls!
[19:23] Girls
    Okay!
[19:25] Rino
    Me first!
[19:26] Chiko
    No, me!
[19:27] Miyumi
    Wait!
[19:29] Mimoza
    Those kids...
[19:30] Seilyn
    I know it must be hard for you.
[19:32] Mimoza
    Not at all. I only ever had a son of my own,
    so it's nice to have little girls around.
[19:39] Rafinha
    Those girls...
[19:42] Seilyn
    They're orphans. I couldn't just
    leave them on the streets.
[19:46] Rafinha
    Wow, that's wonderful!
[19:47] Rafinha
    That's how a true ruler should be!
[19:50] Seilyn
    Thank you.
[19:51] Inglis
    Um, I have a question.
[19:54] Seilyn
    Go ahead.
[19:55] Inglis
    The flow of mana in this city
    seems strange, somehow.
[19:59] Inglis
    Is there a reason for that?
[20:01] Seilyn
    I'm sorry. I don't know anything about that.
[20:04] Inglis
    I see.
[20:05] Inglis
    If there's some powerful warrior
    underground draining everyone's power,
[20:09] Inglis
    I hope I get to fight them!
[20:12] Seilyn
    How long will you be staying?
[20:15] Rafinha
    We can't stay that long.
[20:17] Rafinha
    We'll be enrolling in the knights' academy
    in the capital.
[20:20] Seilyn
    I see.
[20:22] Inglis
    Is that a problem?
[20:23] Seilyn
    There's something I'd like your help with.
[20:27] Rafinha
    Just say the word!
[20:29] Inglis
    If there's something we can help with...
[20:32] Seilyn
    Even if it involves fighting not
    magicite beasts but people?
[20:39] (Flashback) Seilyn
    The knights who served under the
    old ruler were a wicked bunch,
[20:43] (Flashback) Seilyn
    and I fired them all a little while ago.
[20:46] (Flashback) Seilyn
    Their violence toward the
    townspeople had become a problem.
[20:51] (Flashback) Seilyn
    They've all joined together,
    and they seem to be planning something.
[20:57] (Flashback) Seilyn
    Some of the knights I sent out
    on patrol have been attacked.
[21:02] (Flashback) Seilyn
    I want to deal with them all at once,
[21:05] (Flashback) Seilyn
    before something happens to
    endanger the townspeople.
[21:08] (Flashback) Seilyn
    I know where their hideout is.
[21:11] Rafinha
    Chris...
[21:12] Inglis
    There's one hundred, at a minimum.
[21:15] Rafinha
    There he is!
[21:18] Hawker
    I knew if I caused enough trouble
    in town, you'd come eventually.
[21:22] Hawker
    Welcome.
[21:23] Seilyn
    Hawker, the last knight commander.
[21:25] Seilyn
    He's the leader.
[21:28] Hawker
    You can't possibly beat this many,
    Miss High-and-Mighty Highlander.
[21:34] Rafinha
    Quality over quantity!
[21:36] Rafinha
    Chris, preemptive attack!
[21:38] Inglis
    Don't kill them, okay, Rani?
[21:41] Rafinha
    I'll just blow them all away!
[21:43] Hawker
    Wh-What? A Greater Artifact?
[21:47] Rafinha
    Burst!
[21:51] Sistia
    Sorry. I'm going to have to take you down.
[21:57] Sistia
    Lament your own poor fortune
    that I happened to be here today.
[22:04] Inglis
    This intensity... It's just like Eris!
[22:09] Inglis
    She's a Hyral Menas!
