[00:02] fb
    There it is!
[00:03] fb
    Just one person, 304 years ago...
[00:06] fb
    A librarian...
[00:09] fb
    Isolde Nebsolv?
[00:12] fb
    Wait, isn't that...
[00:14] fb
    Yes, it is.
[00:15] fb
    Our head librarian.
[00:17] gol
    But surely, that person is no longer living.
[00:22] haz
    No.
[00:23] haz
    Most witches live about 150 years.
[00:26] haz
    But superior witches who are
    chosen to be head librarians
[00:30] haz
    live much longer.
[00:32] haz
    Her health has been failing, though...
[00:35] haz
    I'm sorry to say.
[00:37] som
    Oh, no!
[00:39] pri
    Say, what's so important
    about that book, anyway?
[00:43] gol
    It is relevant to the goal of our journey.
[00:45] pri
    And what goal is that?
[00:49] pri
    What now, kid?
[00:52] som
    Please...
[00:59] pri
    Here.
[01:00] pri
    I'm giving you my special book,
[01:02] pri
    so quit lookin' at me like that.
[01:05] pri
    You owe me one, though.
[01:08] ---
    Okay!
SIGN    Episode 8
     Meetings and Bonds Prayed For
[02:45] som
    It worked!
[02:51] dad
    This is a map of the library, then?
[02:57] som
    Her special book is so cool!
[03:00] dad
    Praline likely used this
    route to smuggle books.
[03:08] som
    It goes so far down!
[03:09] dad
    A ventilation shaft, no doubt.
[03:12] dad
    The head librarian's room appears
    to be on the lowest floor.
[03:17] dad
    Let us proceed.
[03:18] som
    Dad!
[03:20] som
    What are those things?
[03:24] dad
    An unfamiliar lifeform.
[03:27] som
    Wh-What's that sound?!
[03:29] al
    Intruders!
[03:31] al
    Intruders! Intruders!
[03:33] al
    Intruders!
[03:35] haz
    Oh, no...
[03:37] lei
    Guardians, your staves!
[03:39] lei
    Proceed to the scene!
[03:42] lei
    Come on!
[03:43] pra
    Guess they got busted, huh?
[03:52] dad
    I'm going to jump, Somali.
[04:03] som
    Dad!
[04:13] dad
    Take a deep breath.
[04:35] iso
    Come this way.
[04:47] som
    What was that voice?
[04:49] dad
    I do not know.
[04:52] dad
    But it appears that we have
    reached our destination.
[05:00] som
    Is she in there?
[05:09] le
    Hands up. Down on the ground!
[05:12] le
    You've entered a restricted area.
[05:14] le
    You will be punished.
[05:17] iso
    Halt.
[05:19] som
    The voice from before!
[05:20] le
    But...
[05:21] iso
    Please.
[05:24] iso
    Send them to me.
[05:33] iso
    It is a pleasure to meet you, travelers.
[05:36] dad
    You are Isolde Nebsolv?
[05:40] iso
    Yes. Please forgive my appearance.
[05:43] iso
    You must be quite startled.
[05:45] som
    I-I'm okay!
[05:48] gol
    We wish to inquire about 
    The Chronicle of Haraiso.
[05:51] le
    What do you want with that book?
[05:53] iso
    Do not be distressed,
    Senior Librarian Leigle.
[05:56] le
    But—
[05:58] iso
    The Chronicle of Haraiso.
[06:00] iso
    That name takes me back...
[06:03] iso
    Perhaps it was our mother World
    Herself that guided you here.
[06:09] gol
    What do you mean?
[06:11] iso
    It is I who wrote that book,
[06:15] iso
    and in doing so, drove the
    humans to their deaths.
[06:23] iso
    Let me tell you the story of Haraiso.
[06:26] iso
    Of the meeting of my ancestor,
    Feodora Nebsolv, and the humans...
[06:34] (Flashback) feo
    What'll I do?
[06:35] (Flashback) feo
    It's still a long way back
    to the witches' village...
[06:38] (Flashback) feo
    My teacher mentioned this wind...
[07:08] (Flashback) mee
    You awake?
[07:10] (Flashback) mee
    You okay?
[07:12] (Flashback) mee
    We found you collapsed at
    the edge of the village.
[07:15] (Flashback) feo
    Um... where am I?
[07:18] (Flashback) woman
    The village of Haraiso.
[07:20] (Flashback) woman
    It's the largest village in the area.
[07:23] (Flashback) feo
    The village of Haraiso?
[07:25] (Flashback) man
    What village do you hail from?
[07:37] (Flashback) hara
    You have awakened.
[07:47] (Flashback) hara
    You have a wounded leg,
    but no other sign of ailment.
[07:51] (Flashback) feo
    Huh? Y-Yes...
[07:54] (Flashback) hara
    You must be thirsty.
[07:56] (Flashback) hara
    I will bring water.
[07:57] (Flashback) mee
    Oh, I'll help!
[08:10] (Flashback) man
    Miya and Lord Haraiso found you.
[08:13] (Flashback) feo
    "Lord Haraiso"?
[08:15] (Flashback) feo
    He looks quite a bit different
    from the rest of you...
[08:19] (Flashback) man
    I suppose he does.
[08:21] (Flashback) wom
    Lord Haraiso is a bit like a god to us,
[08:23] (Flashback) wom
    since he gave us this place to live.
[08:28] (Flashback) feo
    A god?
[08:29] (Flashback) man
    He's let us make a fine
    living off of this land.
[08:34] (Flashback) man
    He looks a little different,
[08:36] (Flashback) man
    but there's no need to fear him.
[08:39] (Flashback) feo
    I see!
[08:40] (Flashback) feo
    So you're a different species!
[08:45] (Flashback) man
    What did you just say?
[08:48] (Flashback) feo
    Well... you have a name for
    your species too, don't you?
[08:52] (Flashback) man
    Where... exactly did you come from?
[08:55] (Flashback) woman
    "Species" is a term you use for
    animals and plants, isn't it?
[09:01] (Flashback) feo
    Um...
[09:03] (Flashback) man
    Are you saying... you're not human like us?
[09:09] (Flashback) feo
    I... well...
[09:12] (Flashback) hara
    Be at ease.
[09:14] (Flashback) wom
    Lord Haraiso...
[09:15] (Flashback) hara
    That girl is human.
[09:18] (Flashback) hara
    There is no cause for concern.
[09:21] (Flashback) woman
    Thank goodness!
[09:22] (Flashback) woman
    If you say so, I know that it's safe.
[09:25] (Flashback) man
    Sorry for the accusations, dear.
[09:26] (Flashback) man
    I hope you feel better soon.
[09:31] (Flashback) hara
    Drink this water.
[09:35] (Flashback) feo
    Thank you.
[09:41] (Flashback) feo
    Can I ask...
[09:42] (Flashback) feo
    What happened with those people earlier?
[09:46] (Flashback) hara
    They possess a great fear of the unknown.
[09:50] (Flashback) feo
    Fear?
[09:51] (Flashback) feo
    But why?
[09:52] (Flashback) feo
    I'm not here to hurt anyone...
[10:00] (Flashback) gol
    Humans are a frail and cowardly species.
[10:05] (Flashback) gol
    Whenever they encounter a creature that
    does not conform to their worldview,
[10:09] (Flashback) gol
    they cannot regain peace of mind
    until they purge it from existence.
[10:14] (Flashback) gol
    If they were to learn that you
    were not of their species,
[10:18] (Flashback) gol
    you would likely suffer the same fate.
[10:20] (Flashback) feo
    That's awful!
[10:21] (Flashback) feo
    Then... if I can't make it back... I...
[10:27] (Flashback) gol
    Your fears are unfounded.
[10:30] (Flashback) gol
    I will guarantee your safety.
[10:38] (Flashback) feo
    I'm sorry. I was just so relieved...
[10:42] (Flashback) feo
    My species cries in this unusual way.
[10:52] (Flashback) feo
    You seem very kind.
[10:54] (Flashback) hara
    Golems lack emotions.
[10:58] (Flashback) feo
    I see. You're from a species
    called golems, then?
[11:03] (Flashback) feo
    I'm Feodora Nebsolv of the witch clan.
[11:07] (Flashback) hara
    I am Haraiso.
[11:09] (Flashback) feo
    A pleasure.
[11:21] (Flashback) mee
    Big Sis!
[11:23] (Flashback) mee
    Here! My grandma sent it for you!
[11:27] (Flashback) feo
    What is it?
[11:28] (Flashback) mee
    Potato mochi!
[11:33] (Flashback) feo
    Thank you, Miya.
[11:35] (Flashback) feo
    I'll try it.
[11:42] (Flashback) feo
    It's delicious!
[11:43] (Flashback) feo
    What a wonderful flavor!
[11:47] (Flashback) feo
    Do you want some?
[11:49] (Flashback) mee
    No way!
[11:50] (Flashback) mee
    Potato mochi isn't cute!
[11:52] (Flashback) feo
    What?
[11:53] (Flashback) mee
    Potato mochi is tasty,
[11:55] (Flashback) mee
    but my friends all say that cake is cuter.
[11:58] (Flashback) mee
    They say I look like an
    old lady when I eat it.
[12:03] (Flashback) feo
    In that case...
[12:08] (Flashback) feo
    There! All done!
[12:11] (Flashback) mee
    So cute!
[12:12] (Flashback) mee
    I can't believe it!
[12:15] (Flashback) feo
    It's to thank you for saving me.
[12:15] (Flashback) feo
    So cute!
[12:18] (Flashback) feo
    Miya...
[12:19] (Flashback) feo
    You're such a sweet and
    adorable little girl.
[12:22] (Flashback) feo
    Even if you ate potato mochi,
[12:26] (Flashback) ---
    no one could call you an old lady now.
[12:29] (Flashback) mee
    Okay!
[12:33] (Flashback) mee
    Thank you, Big Sis!
[12:35] (Flashback) mee
    I'm gonna show all my friends!
[12:41] (Flashback) feo
    This might just work out.
[13:28] (Flashback) hara
    They seem to be treating you well.
[13:31] (Flashback) feo
    They are.
[13:32] (Flashback) hara
    And your leg?
[13:34] (Flashback) feo
    It's all better now.
[13:36] (Flashback) hara
    I see.
[13:37] (Flashback) hara
    I have investigated your situation.
[13:39] (Flashback) hara
    The Dragon Twisters that
    periodically appear above us
[13:43] (Flashback) hara
    travel in a circle around the island,
[13:46] (Flashback) hara
    then head back in the
    direction they came from.
[13:48] (Flashback) hara
    If you ride an early morning wind,
[13:50] (Flashback) hara
    it will likely return you to your home.
[13:52] (Flashback) feo
    Really?
[13:56] (Flashback) feo
    But...
[14:03] (Flashback) feo
    We're all getting along so well...
[14:08] (Flashback) feo
    Miya?
[14:13] (Flashback) mee
    Big Sis, are you really leaving tomorrow?
[14:17] (Flashback) feo
    Yeah.
[14:18] (Flashback) mee
    But why? You should stay forever!
[14:22] (Flashback) feo
    I'm sorry, Miya.
[14:24] (Flashback) mee
    We'll still be friends even
    if you go away, right?
[14:32] (Flashback) feo
    Of course.
[14:34] (Flashback) feo
    I'll always be your friend, Miya.
[14:39] (Flashback) feo
    What could that be?
[14:42] (Flashback) mee
    A Grotesque...
[14:44] (Flashback) mee
    A Grotesque showed up.
[14:58] (Flashback) feo
    This is... awful!
[15:02] (Flashback) gro
    Please stop this.
[15:04] (Flashback) gro
    I haven't done anything.
[15:06] (Flashback) gro
    I'm not... your enemy.
[15:09] (Flashback) man
    What in the world?! It talks like a person!
[15:12] (Flashback) man
    How unsettling...
[15:13] (Flashback) man
    We'll shut it up fast.
[15:23] (Flashback) gro
    Stop...
[15:25] (Flashback) feo
    No! It's not your enemy!
[15:28] (Flashback) feo
    Stop!
[15:30] (Flashback) feo
    Please!
[15:39] (Flashback) boy
    You monster!
[15:41] (Flashback) boy
    Disgusting!
[15:42] (Flashback) boy
    Die!
[15:43] (Flashback) boy
    Monster!
[15:43] (Flashback) boy
    Never come back!
[15:44] (Flashback) boy
    Enemy to humanity!
[15:47] (Flashback) mee
    Go away!
[15:53] feo
    I can't stay here.
[15:55] feo
    If they learn what I am,
    they'll kill me, too!
[16:04] (Flashback) hara
    Feodora...
[16:08] feo
    If I can just wait out the night here...
[16:11] (Flashback) feo
    Feodora, dear!
[16:13] (Flashback) feo
    Where are you?
[16:14] (Flashback) feo
    Please, answer us!
[16:18] (Flashback) mee
    Big Sis?
[16:20] (Flashback) feo
    M-Miya...
[16:25] (Flashback) mee
    I figured you'd be here.
[16:28] (Flashback) mee
    Let's go back now. Everyone's looking—
[16:32] (Flashback) mee
    Huh?
[16:33] (Flashback) feo
    Hey, Miya...
[16:35] (Flashback) feo
    If I were a Grotesque,
    what would you do to me?
[16:41] (Flashback) mee
    But you're human, right?
[16:43] (Flashback) mee
    And you can't be friends with monsters.
[16:50] (Flashback) feo
    I see...
[16:57] (Flashback) feo
    Miya!
[16:59] (Flashback) feo
    Miya!
[17:01] (Flashback) feo
    Miya!
[17:04] (Flashback) feo
    Feodora! There you are!
[17:06] (Flashback) feo
    Miya! Is that Miya?
[17:09] (Flashback) feo
    She's hurt!
[17:10] (Flashback) feo
    We need to pull her up!
[17:11] (Flashback) feo
    But how?!
[17:17] (Flashback) feo
    Someone save Miya! Hurry!
[17:20] feo
    I could save Miya...
[17:22] feo
    But...
[17:53] (Flashback) feo
    I'm sorry, Miya.
[18:01] (Flashback) man
    So, you weren't human?
[18:04] (Flashback) man
    Get out, monster.
[18:06] (Flashback) man
    You deceived us all!
[18:07] (Flashback) man
    How creepy that you even look human!
[18:10] (Flashback) man
    Kill her! Just kill her!
[18:14] (Flashback) mee
    Big Sis...
[18:21] (Flashback) hara
    Because you saved Miya,
    you will be pardoned.
[18:24] (Flashback) hara
    Leave this instant, grotesque thing.
[18:29] (Flashback) feo
    Very well.
[18:35] (Flashback) mee
    Big Sis...
[18:38] (Flashback) man
    Stay back. She's a monster!
[18:41] (Flashback) mee
    No!
[18:44] (Flashback) mee
    She's my friend!
[18:51] (Flashback) feo
    Thank you, Miya.
[19:01] iso
    That is all that is known 
    of The Chronicle of Haraiso.
[19:05] iso
    Feodora returned to the witches' village.
[19:08] iso
    In time, she became head librarian,
[19:10] iso
    told the story to her successor,
[19:13] iso
    and forbade it be written
    for a thousand years.
[19:17] iso
    She believed more time
    would be needed before we—
[19:21] ---
    and the easily frightened humans—
    could come together peacefully.
[19:25] iso
    But then, I wrote it down in a book.
[19:30] iso
    I killed the humans.
[19:33] le
    It isn't your fault!
[19:36] dad
    Yes, it seems to be merely
    a series of coincidences.
[19:41] som
    Dad...
[19:43] som
    Were the people in the
    story human... like me?
[19:50] iso
    They were.
[19:53] som
    So I'm... like them?
[19:56] iso
    Come here.
[20:00] le
    Ma'am!
[20:01] iso
    I permit it.
[20:15] iso
    Your hand is warm.
[20:19] iso
    Are you afraid of us?
[20:23] som
    No way!
[20:25] som
    I've got lots of friends here!
[20:27] iso
    Then everything will be fine.
[20:30] iso
    We can reach an understanding.
[20:33] iso
    Just as a bond formed
    between Feodora and Miya.
[20:37] som
    A bond?
[20:38] iso
    Yes.
[20:40] iso
    A love between two hearts that
    could never be torn apart.
[20:47] som
    A love... between two hearts?
[20:51] dad
    A bond?
[20:55] iso
    If it is humans you seek,
    go to the ends of the world.
[21:01] iso
    Their descendants may yet remain there.
[21:05] dad
    You have my gratitude.
[21:07] iso
    No...
[21:09] iso
    It is I who am grateful...
    to have met you at my end.
[21:28] iso
    May the World grant you Her protection.
