[00:00] Orphen
    The Celestials.
[00:02] Orphen
    They were the wisest of the six Dragon races,
[00:07] Orphen
    and they were in the position
    to rule over the Kiesalhima Continent.
[00:12] Orphen
    Silent Sorcery, which used runes
    called Wyrd Glyphs as a medium,
[00:19] Orphen
    was considered the first or second
    most powerful Sorcery the Dragons used.
[00:26] Orphen
    A number of facilities
    created by the Celestials
[00:28] Orphen
    could be found throughout
    the Kiesalhima Continent as ruins,
[00:32] Orphen
    many of which had yet to be
    completely understood.
SIGN    The Ghosts of the Execution Grounds
[02:12] Majic
    Wow, it's completely back
    to normal thanks to you, Master.
[02:17] Claiomh
    It's the least he could do
    to make up for what happened.
[02:20] Orphen
    Seriously, why am I the one
    who started the fire in your puny mind?
[02:24] Eris
    Um... If you wouldn't mind,
    could you stay here a while?
[02:29] Eris
    You don't have to work anymore,
    and you can use one of our rooms.
[02:32] Claiomh
    Yeah, I can imagine it might be scary
    for you two to be alone after what happened.
[02:38] Orphen
    Well, we were planning
    to stay a while anyway.
[02:42] Eris
    Thanks.
[02:45] Claiomh
    Are you worried?
[02:47] Eris
    Not exactly.
[02:49] Eris
    Honestly, it's strange for me, too.
[02:51] Eris
    While I hope nothing like
    this ever happens again,
[02:55] Eris
    there's a part of me that hopes that
    this inn just burns to the ground.
[02:59] Claiomh
    Do you want to leave this place, Eris?
[03:02] Eris
    Well... If I leave this place, there might
    be another life waiting for me somewhere,
[03:07] Eris
    but I also feel like I need to stay here.
[03:10] Eris
    You see, I don't have any memories
    from when I was little.
[03:13] Eris
    I don't remember anything before
    living here with my mother.
[03:17] Eris
    My life here is everything I have.
[03:20] Eris
    That's why I'm scared.
[03:21] Eris
    I don't know any other place...
[03:24] Eris
    And I don't know what I'd do
    once I left here.
[03:41] Orphen
    Who the hell threw garbage
    in the middle of the floor?
[03:44] Claiomh
    Maybe those Lotz jerks
    are trying to bully her again...
[03:48] Claiomh
    Wait, isn't that Dortin?
[03:50] Orphen
    Huh?
[03:56] Orphen
    Hey, this is my sword.
[03:58] Orphen
    Hey! Wake up!
[04:00] Orphen
    Why do you have the stuff
    I lost up in the mountains?
[04:03] Orphen
    Hey!
[04:05] Dortin
    ...er.
[04:07] Orphen
    Er?
[04:08] Dortin
    M-Murderer!
[04:11] Orphen
    You finally wake up and the first thing
    you do is call me a murderer?
[04:16] Orphen
    Calm the hell down! What happened?
[04:19] Dortin
    M-My brother!
[04:20] Dortin
    My brother!
[04:24] Orphen
    So what you're trying
    to tell me is that Volkan died?
[04:28] Dortin
    Yes! Because you threw us off that cliff...
[04:31] Dortin
    My brother met a terrible fate!
[04:35] Dortin
    Huh?
[04:36] Dortin
    Wh-What's with those reactions?
[04:38] Orphen
    Out of all the things to say...
[04:40] Orphen
    You're trying to tell me that lucky
    little weasel actually died?
[04:45] Dortin
    Do you think we don't ever die or something?
[04:49] Orphen
    Well, it's the truth, ain't it?
[04:50] Dortin
    No, it's not!
[04:52] Dortin
    I saw it with my own eyes!
[04:54] Dortin
    We were attacked by these
    monkey things in the forest...
[04:57] Dortin
    And this guy was cut in half,
    right down the middle...
[05:00] Dortin
    And then my brother's... My brother's...
[05:04] Dortin
    H-H-H-He...
[05:07] Dorting
    His head!
[05:09] Claiomh
    Come to think of it, Eris did mention
[05:12] Claiomh
    that tourists go missing
    every once in a while.
[05:17] Sheena
    What's all the ruckus? Honestly...
[05:19] Sheena
    And who's that kid?
[05:21] Claiomh
    He was hurt, so we treated him.
[05:24] Sheena
    I don't know what Eris told you,
[05:27] Sheena
    but you're just a nuisance if you keep
    staying here without paying a cent.
[05:30] Claiomh
    What the heck?
    We put out that fire yesterday.
[05:33] Sheena
    And you're trying to hold that over on us?
[05:35] Claiomh
    Do you have to say it like that?
[05:36] Orphen
    We'll pay for our room.
[05:38] Sheena
    You don't have any money, do you?
[05:41] Orphen
    I repair thee, Scars of the Sunset.
[05:51] Orphen
    For now, this can be our collateral.
[05:54] Orphen
    I'll pay you money for
    whatever else we owe later.
[05:56] Claiomh
    Pay later?
[05:59] Orphen
    Well, considering he had my sword,
[06:02] Orphen
    if we search the forest, we might
    find my bag with our money in it.
[06:08] Dortin
    According to that
    research team person,
[06:11] Dortin
    there's a ferocious carnivore in the forest.
[06:14] Dortin
    I think that's what I saw.
[06:17] Orphen
    We're right by a hot springs area.
[06:20] Orphen
    If a beast like that actually existed,
[06:22] Orphen
    everyone there would've
    probably known about it...
[06:26] Orphen
    Or not?
[06:30] Orphen
    I guess they could be keeping it
    a secret because it's a tourist area.
[06:34] Dortin
    Did you find something?
[06:36] Orphen
    Well, I wonder what's going on here...
[06:43] Orphen
    Anyway, I release thee...
[06:57] Orphen
    This little...
[06:58] Orphen
    I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!
[07:11] Orphen
    Wyrd Glyphs?!
[07:14] Orphen
    In that case...
[07:15] Orphen
    I end thee with my contract, Holy War!
[07:27] Dortin
    A-Are you okay?
[07:28] Orphen
    Yeah.
[07:30] Dortin
    Wait, how are you so calm?!
[07:33] Dortin
    Your hand got torn off!
[07:35] Orphen
    There's definitely something weird here.
[07:37] Orphen
    Look.
[07:38] Orphen
    It doesn't hurt, and
    I can move it however I want.
[07:41] Dortin
    Is that some kind of Sorcery, too?
[07:44] Orphen
    Probably, but it's not mine.
[07:46] Dortin
    Huh?
[07:47] Orphen
    That monkey was using magic runes.
[07:50] Orphen
    Apparently, it had Sorcery as strong as mine
    that changes the nature of an object.
[07:56] Orphen
    Now we know how you saw
    someone get cut in half.
[08:03] Dortin
    I-It stuck back on!
[08:05] Orphen
    A monkey that uses Silent Sorcery, eh?
[08:07] Orphen
    It was probably a servant created
    by one of the Weird Dragons, Nornir.
[08:14] Orphen
    The more important question
    is: What's it doing here?
[08:25] Claiomh
    Come in.
[08:27] Majic
    Claiomh! Have you seen Eris or Sheena?
[08:30] Claiomh
    Huh?
[08:31] Majic
    Before I realized it, they were both gone.
[08:33] Majic
    I checked the kitchen, the backyard,
    and everywhere else, but...
[08:37] Claiomh
    It couldn't be...
[08:38] Majic
    Huh? What?
[08:39] Claiomh
    Majic! We're going to go see Lotz!
[08:41] Claiomh
    I'm sure they're behind this!
[08:44] Majic
    Are you saying they got kidnapped?
[08:46] Majic
    But that's—
[08:47] Claiomh
    They must've waited until Orphen
    wasn't around. Those sneaky jerks!
[08:50] Claiomh
    They won't get away with this!
[08:57] Majic
    Hey... We just had Leki destroy
    the place. You sure this is okay?
[09:02] Claiomh
    Oh, this is fine. Bad guys won't regret
    their actions unless we go this far.
[09:07] Majic
    But we don't even know
    for sure they kidnapped those two...
[09:12] Claiomh
    It's fine! We're gonna
    tear this whole place down!
[09:17] Volkan
    I see that you're as violent as ever!
[09:20] Volkan
    You'll need to do more than that
[09:21] Volkan
    to intimidate the Bulldog of
    Masmaturia, Vulkano Volkan!
[09:25] Volkan
    Where are you fools looking?! I'm over here!
[09:29] Majic
    What are you doing up there?
[09:31] Claiomh
    I mean... Dortin said you were dead.
[09:34] Volkan
    I died? Surely, you jest!
[09:37] Volkan
    As you can see, I'm alive and kicking!
[09:42] Volkan
    Hey! Don't go reading
    the heroic texts that I found!
[09:47] Majic
    Heroic texts?
[09:49] Majic
    The Celestial Execution Grounds
    and Theories on How They Were Executed...
[09:54] Majic
    Fien Shossky Lotz.
[09:56] Claiomh
    Lotz?
[09:58] Claiomh
    Lotz, like the people who own this place?
[10:00] Lotz
    That's right. Fien Shossky Lotz is my son.
[10:04] Lotz
    Did you two cause this mess?
[10:07] Claiomh
    Yeah! We came to get Eris and Sheena back!
[10:11] Lotz
    I know nothing about that.
[10:12] Claiomh
    Don't play stupid!
[10:14] Lotz
    I said I don't know what
    you're talking about.
[10:16] Lotz
    More importantly, hand over that notebook.
[10:18] Lotz
    That belongs to my son.
[10:21] Lotz
    Twenty years ago, he was tricked by the
    traveling diva Sheena Shossky and disappeared.
[10:29] Claiomh
    Sheena?
[10:58] Orphen
    I draw thee, Trajectory of Light!
[11:13] Orphen
    Was that all of them?
    That didn't seem to be very many.
[11:15] Dortin
    Look! Over there!
[11:21] Orphen
    I dance within thee, Heavenly Castle!
[11:27] Orphen
    Run!
[11:43] Majic
    Wh-Where are we?
[11:47] Lotz
    The Celestial ruins within the forest.
[11:49] Lotz
    This place was the execution
    grounds for the Celestials.
[11:53] Claiomh
    This 3D map was a transfer
    device for the Celestials?
[11:57] Lotz
    My son originally took them from here.
[12:01] Lotz
    One ended up at Sheena's place.
    The other, my hotel.
[12:06] Lotz
    Using this, my son and Sheena
    continued their rendezvous.
[12:16] Claiomh
    Eris?!
[12:19] Claiomh
    Eris!
[12:20] Claiomh
    It's okay, she's alive.
[12:23] Sheena
    Of course, she is.
[12:27] Claiomh
    Sheena?
[12:29] Sheena
    So it appears... that you stumbled into
    a place you never should have stumbled into.
[12:50] Dortin
    What was that sound?
[12:51] Orphen
    Just shut up and run!
[12:53] Dortin
    One other thing!
[12:54] Orphen
    Now what?
[12:55] Dortin
    I feel like we've been going
    in circles for a while now.
[12:59] Orphen
    What a coincidence.
    I was just thinking the same thing.
[13:07] Conrad
    May I offer some assistance?
[13:14] Dortin
    Th-That's him!
[13:16] Dortin
    He's the one who was split in two!
[13:18] Conrad
    My name is Conrad.
[13:19] Conrad
    I am the chief researcher at the Noble
    Alliance Ruins Investigations Committee.
[13:23] Nosapp
    I'm one of the researchers, Nosapp.
[13:26] Orphen
    I see.
[13:28] Orphen
    The concept of what should be up
    or down is reversed here.
[13:31] Orphen
    That's why the doors
    are located near the ceilings.
[13:33] Conrad
    I don't know who you are,
    but you are a quick learner.
[13:36] Conrad
    If you would like, I can lead you
    to the transfer device just up ahead.
[13:41] Orphen
    The transfer device?
[13:42] Conrad
    In return, I was wondering
    if you could help me out, as well.
[13:46] Conrad
    That little fellow's older brother
[13:47] Conrad
    has run off with the research notes
    that I worked very hard to get.
[13:52] Conrad
    There was information about the Celestial
    execution grounds written in that notebook.
[13:57] Orphen
    Celestial execution grounds?
[14:09] Eris
    Mother?
[14:10] Eris
    Where are we?
[14:12] Eris
    We're inside the ruins. I figured
    I'd have to tell you about this one day.
[14:31] Sheena
    Shut your mouth, you foolish girl!
[14:35] Sheena
    Why would you scream at the sight of that?
[14:38] Eris
    Mother... Please explain.
    I have no idea what's going on!
[14:42] Sheena
    You see, this thing can
    overturn any tragedy.
[14:46] Sheena
    It's a device that brings back the dead.
[14:48] Sheena
    Twenty years ago,
[14:51] Sheena
    I was a traveling singer,
    and I ended up in this town.
[14:57] Sheena
    And then I fell in love
    with Fien Lotz, Jr.
[15:03] Sheena
    But his father did not
    approve of our marriage.
[15:07] Sheena
    Lotz didn't want to let go of his son,
[15:09] Sheena
    so he sold his son's 
    thesis off to a research team.
[15:13] Sheena
    His son had been going in and out
    of these ruins ever since he was little,
[15:16] Sheena
    and knew more about them than anyone else.
[15:19] Sheena
    He panicked because he lost
    his thesis,
[15:21] Sheena
    so he disappeared into
    the deepest depths of these ruins.
[15:26] Sheena
    Three days later, what I found here was
[15:31] Sheena
    him in his changed form.
[15:39] Sheena
    According to his research, this place
    was the Celestials' execution grounds,
[15:43] Sheena
    but it was also a device that could bring
    the executed criminals back to life.
[15:48] Sheena
    There was just one condition
    to bring back the dead:
[15:52] Sheena
    someone must replenish it
    with more flesh periodically.
[15:59] (Flashback) Eris
    Tourists go missing every now and then.
[16:03] (Flashback) Eris
    It's only one or two each year, but...
[16:20] Eris
    You've been doing that this whole time?
[16:23] Eris
    But... that's just so cruel!
[16:25] Sheena
    Cruel, you say?
[16:27] Sheena
    Well, you're about to carry
    on everything I've been doing.
[16:31] Eris
    What?
[16:32] Sheena
    You don't get a choice in this...
[16:34] Sheena
    because you're me.
[16:37] Eris
    What are you talking about?
[16:38] Sheena
    With what I learned from his research,
[16:41] Sheena
    I learned that there was a device here
    that can make duplicates
[16:44] Sheena
    by using a part of person's body.
[16:58] Eris
    N-No...
[17:00] Sheena
    What I needed was a younger,
     beautiful version of myself
[17:05] Sheena
    that could be with him once he was reborn.
[17:09] Sheena
    That's you.
[17:11] Sheena
    You're a copy of me created
    from a part of me,
[17:17] Sheena
    but it's not just my body.
[17:19] Sheena
    You're going to carry on my memories, too.
[17:23] Sheena
    After I use this device, that is.
[17:27] Sheena
    I don't have any more time, you see.
[17:33] Eris
    N-No...
[17:35] Eris
    No!
[17:37] Orphen
    I unsheathe thee, Sword of Light!
[17:52] Orphen
    Talk about a fitting twist
    for a phony hot spring!
[17:55] Orphen
    Now we've got a phony regeneration device,
    located in some phony execution grounds.
[17:59] Sheena
    Phony?
[18:01] Orphen
    In the end, the Celestials
    couldn't condemn their own.
[18:06] Orphen
    They only pretended to execute them
    and tried to resurrect them.
[18:10] Sheena
    But I'll be able to resurrect
    my beloved because of that.
[18:13] Orphen
    No, you won't.
[18:15] Orphen
    In the end, this regeneration
    device was incomplete.
[18:18] Orphen
    It didn't work. The Celestials went extinct.
[18:22] Orphen
    There ain't a single one left.
[18:24] Sheena
    No, you're lying!
[18:27] Orphen
    Let go of Eris!
[18:29] Sheena
    Stay back!
[18:30] Eris
    Please let go of me, Mother.
[18:31] Sheena
    Shut your mouth!
    There's no way you can defy me!
[18:35] Sheena
    You're made to obey me,
    just like those monkeys are!
[18:42] Eris
    I'm made to obey you?
[18:45] Eris
    So everything I've done
    has been decided by you?
[18:48] Sheena
    Yeah, that's right.
[18:50] Eris
    Then were you the one
    who wanted me to set fire to the inn?
[18:55] Sheena
    What?!
[18:58] (Flashback) Subordinate A
    Shit!
[18:59] (Flashback) Subordinate B
    Run!
[19:00] (Flashback) Orphen
    Hold it!
[19:15] Eris
    I'm the one who set fire to the inn.
[19:18] Eris
    Is that what you desired, too?
[19:20] Sheena
    What nonsense are you rambling about?
[19:22] Eris
    I wanted to leave that inn.
[19:25] Sheena
    Shut up!
[19:26] Eris
    I wanted to be freed from my mundane life...
[19:31] Eris
    And go... somewhere far away.
[19:36] Sheena
    I told you to shut your mouth!
[19:51] Orphen
    Eris!
[19:55] Orphen
    I unsheathe thee—
[19:57] Orphen
    It's no use. I'd end up hitting Eris, too.
[20:11] Conrad
    Let's leave this place! Immediately!
[20:17] Orphen
    Hurry, everyone! Run to the transfer device!
[20:43] Conrad
    We'll be taking our leave now. Good day.
[20:45] Nosapp
    Goodbye.
[20:49] Eris
    How did I survive?
[20:52] Orphen
    You could probably come up
    with a bunch of reasons,
[20:56] Orphen
    but it's probably because the one
    that man desired was Sheena,
[20:59] Orphen
    and you're not her.
[21:01] Orphen
    That's all that matters.
[21:04] Orphen
    Just like you can't bring back the dead,
[21:07] Orphen
    it's also impossible to create
    an exact copy of a person.
[21:11] Eris
    Thank you.
[21:12] Orphen
    You probably shouldn't stay here, either.
[21:15] Orphen
    That research team's gonna be back,
    and they're gonna be a pain in the ass.
[21:19] Eris
    I wonder where I should go.
[21:22] Orphen
    Who knows?
[21:23] Orphen
    But time changes things.
[21:26] Orphen
    Which means, you can go wherever you want.
[21:29] Orphen
    That's the difference between us and
    the Celestials, who can only live in the past.
[21:37] Claiomh
    Come on. How long are you
    going to be jibber-jabbering?
[21:40] Majic
    Let's go, Master!
[21:44] Orphen/Narrator
    An incident that could greatly
    change the fate of this world
[21:48] Orphen/Narrator
    awaited them ahead on this journey,
[21:52] Orphen/Narrator
    but Orphen and the others had
    no way of knowing that just yet.
[23:31] Claiomh
    You're not going to do anything
    after they did all this to you?
[23:33] Lottecia
    My father, who was a great
    swordsman, never desired conflict.
[23:37] Claiomh
    You've got to bat away any of the sparks
    that come flying your way.
