    Previously on Teogonia.
[00:03] (Flashback) KAI
    What are you doing?
[00:09] (Flashback) POREK
    My name is Porek.
[00:11] (Flashback) POREK
    I am the leader of the koror people,
[00:15] (Flashback) POREK
    ancient arbitration god.
[00:18] (Flashback) KAI
    There she is!
[00:30] (Flashback) ORG CAPTAIN
    I kill you!
[00:32] (Flashback) KAI & VALLEY GOD
    Teach them with blood!
[00:38] (Flashback) POREK
    The god of justice who has watched over
    the world since the age of the gods.
[00:44] (Flashback) POREK
    He is indeed the arbitration god!
SIGN    A Small Paradise
[02:20] NA
    "A Small Paradise".
[02:27] POREK
    So that is its godstone.
[02:30] KAI
    Huh?
[02:37] KAI
    I killed a guardian bearer
    for the first time.
[02:40] KOROR MAN
    Ataka myubi.
[02:41] KOROR WOMAN
    Rairau sanji.
[02:43] OTHER KOROR MAN
    Tokutin.
[02:44] KAI
    Huh? What are they saying?
[02:47] POREK
    They're excited that god—that you're about
    to take that pig's protection from it.
[02:54] KAI
    Take its protection?
[02:56] POREK
    Those who consume the godstone
    of a guardian bearer
[02:59] POREK
    absorb the land god's power
    and inherit its protection.
[03:04] KAI
    That's possible?
[03:06] POREK
    Normally, yes, but a person cannot have the
    protection of more than one god at once.
[03:12] KAI
    I see.
[03:13] POREK
    However, you can still consume
    the power of multiple gods.
[03:19] POREK
    You should use that to
    increase your own strength
[03:24] POREK
    so you can continue protecting this valley.
[03:34] KAI
    That's your share.
[03:36] POREK
    Are you sure?
[03:39] KAI
    You helped, too.
[03:45] POREK
    You have my thanks.
[03:52] KECHAK
    Porek zou!
[03:55] POREK
    That's strong stuff.
[04:03] KAI
    What is this?
[04:05] POREK
    The land god.
[04:07] KAI
    This is the land god?
[04:09] POREK
    Yes. When a guardian bearer dies,
    their god's spirit returns to its grave.
[04:18] POREK
    Your Holiness?
[04:21] KAI
    My godstone...
[04:23] POREK
    It must be the effect of eating
    the guardian bearer's godstone.
[04:26] KECHAK
    You're hopeless.
[04:28] KAI
    It's all right. I don't need help.
[04:30] KECHAK
    But...
[04:36] KAI
    I'm going back to the valley.
[04:39] KAI
    Stay away from there.
[04:42] POREK
    Your Holiness!
[05:05] KAI
    A dream?
[05:08] KAI
    Huh?
[05:10] KAI
    What?!
[05:15] KAI
    What are you doing here?
[05:20] ARUWE
    Good morning, Your Holiness.
[05:23] KAI
    Did you put this over me?
[05:26] ARUWE
    No catch cold. Aruwe worry.
[05:31] ARUWE
    Aruwe offered to god so you
    hear Hacar people's request.
[05:38] ARUWE
    I stay with god.
[05:41] ARUWE
    That is Aruwe role.
[05:43] KAI
    You don't need to do that.
    Go back to your people.
[05:48] ARUWE
    No go back.
[05:49] ARUWE
    Grandfather said misfortune
    visit everyone if Aruwe return.
[05:55] KAI
    Just go home.
[05:57] KAI
    If you want, I'll take you back.
[05:59] ARUWE
    No!
[06:00] KAI
    Huh?
[06:00] ARUWE
    You save Aruwe life.
[06:03] ARUWE
    Aruwe die without you.
[06:06] ARUWE
    So Aruwe serve god forever.
[06:10] KAI
    What? Just go back to—
[06:14] KAI
    It's morning.
[06:15] KAI
    Aw, crud! I need to get back to the village!
[06:18] KAI
    You should hurry up and go home, too.
[06:25] ARUWE
    Aruwe no go!
[06:30] POREK
    Arbitration god, once again we thank
    you from the bottoms of our hearts for
[06:37] POREK
    subjugating those who wronged us.
[06:40] POREK
    We, the koror people, devote
    ourselves to the valley god.
[06:44] KAI
    Devote yourselves?
    I have nothing to do with this.
[06:48] POREK
    Our homeland is still under attack
    by orgs, making us nomads.
[06:54] POREK
    Even if it is only temporary,
[06:56] POREK
    I ask that you grant us a haven within
    the valley where we can live.
[07:03] KAI
    You want to live here? But...
[07:07] KOROR GIRL
    Please.
[07:10] KAI
    Do what you want.
    Just don't go down into the valley.
[07:15] KAI
    See you later. I'm in a hurry.
[07:17] POREK
    Wait.
[07:19] KAI
    Huh?
[07:27] KAI
    I made it in time.
[07:28] JOSE
    You're late!
[07:30] JOSE
    What have you been doing?
[07:31] KAI
    What? Oh, sorry.
[07:35] KAI
    I overslept.
[07:37] JOSE
    You're hopeless. Let's begin.
[07:40] KAI
    Is every day going to be
    like this from now on?
[07:46] AKIZA
    There's no end to this.
[07:49] AKIZA
    How much are we supposed to plow?
[07:51] VEZIN
    Hey!
[07:53] MANSO
    Lord Vezin!
[07:54] VEZIN
    Where is the one called Kai?
[07:57] RAHAT
    What? You're looking for Kai?
[07:59] MANSO
    He's assigned to the storehouse today.
[08:01] MANSO
    He should be at the castle.
[08:05] MOB A
    Apparently the baron himself chose
    today's opponent in the mock battle.
[08:10] MOB B
    Really? Who is it?
[08:12] MOB C
    That guy who distinguished himself
    protecting Lady Jose the other day.
[08:15] MOB B
    Oh, him? I think his name was...
[08:19] MOB C
    It's Kai.
[08:20] KAI
    Why is this happening?
[08:22] KAI
    I didn't want attention in the first place,
    and now I've caught the baron's eye.
[08:28] BASCO
    You listen to me.
[08:29] BASCO
    Don't use dirty tricks,
    even if you're desperate.
[08:32] BASCO
    You'll upset him unnecessarily.
[08:34] KAI
    I know.
[08:36] VEZIN
    I've heard about you.
[08:38] VEZIN
    They say you managed to drive
    off a group of macaques.
[08:41] VEZIN
    Show me what you're capable of.
[08:44] VEZIN
    Don't worry. I won't kill you.
[08:48] (Flashback) POREK
    You should conceal your status
    as a guardian bearer for a while.
[08:53] (Flashback) POREK
    Not much time has passed since you
    inherited the god's protection.
[08:56] (Flashback) POREK
    You'll be an easy target for other
    gods until you master your power.
[09:04] (Flashback) POREK
    I say this out of concern for you.
[09:07] KAI/ID
    He's right. I'll suppress my strength
    so my Divine Crest doesn't appear.
[09:16] BASCO
    Begin!
[09:21] ELSA
    Kai...
[09:24] KAI
    This is...
[09:31] KAI
    My Divine Crest!
[09:33] VEZIN
    Looks like I overestimated you.
[09:37] MANSO
    Kai!
[09:39] KAI
    Is it gone?
[09:41] VEZIN
    I like the look in your eyes.
[09:43] VEZIN
    Try to entertain me more!
[09:59] OLHA
    What is he doing?
[10:00] JOSE
    He's attacking Father bare-handed?
[10:07] VEZIN
    That's enough!
[10:17] OLHA
    That's all he could manage.
[10:33] VEZIN
    I like you.
[10:35] VEZIN
    Starting tomorrow, I'll train you myself.
[10:37] KAI
    What? Tomorrow, too?
[10:40] VEZIN
    Prepare yourself.
[10:41] KAI
    Yes, sir.
[10:47] JOSE
    I can't believe he did
    that well against Father.
[10:51] OLHA
    He's still just a commoner.
[10:53] JOSE
    I'll have to be even tougher
    on him starting tomorrow.
[10:57] KAI
    You're kidding, right?
[10:59] MANSO
    This is getting out of hand.
[11:02] KAI
    What are you guys laughing about?
[11:05] MANSO
    We'll make sure you get a decent burial.
[11:07] KAI
    Shut up!
[11:11] (Flashback) YOUNG KAI
    I will become stronger!
[11:15] KAI
    Why is this happening?
[11:30] MANSO
    Hey, Kai!
[11:33] MANSO
    Share your food with me.
[11:43] KAI/ID
    Finally.
[11:45] KAI/ID
    Lady Jose and the baron have been
    demanding my time every day,
[11:49] KAI/ID
    but finally I can go to the valley.
[11:58] KAI
    I'm back, Valley God.
[12:06] KAI
    What's this?
[12:08] KAI
    Did those koror enter my valley
    without my permission?
[12:14] ARUWE
    Your Holiness, you finally back.
[12:17] KAI
    You? You're still here?
[12:21] ARUWE
    I prepare for you.
[12:24] KAI
    Did you let the koror into the valley?
[12:26] ARUWE
    No, all Aruwe. No villagers come.
[12:34] KAI
    You mean you did all of this yourself?
[12:37] KAI
    No, wait. I told you to go back to—
[12:41] ARUWE
    Your Holiness, food!
[12:42] KAI
    Huh?
[12:47] KAI
    Th-That looks good...
[12:52] ARUWE
    You eat.
[13:00] ARUWE
    Your Holiness, more?
[13:02] KAI
    More.
[13:07] ARUWE
    Your Holiness, taste good?
[13:10] KAI
    Yeah.
[13:12] KAI
    Flavor aside, I never get to
    eat this much at the village.
[13:23] KAI
    Huh?
[13:24] SERVER
    I gave you a little extra.
[13:26] KAI
    Th-Thanks...
[13:28] AKIZA
    Why only you?
[13:30] RAHAT
    This is all we got.
[13:32] TURAL
    This isn't right.
[13:34] SERVER
    Shut up! You slacked off while
    working the fields the other day!
[13:38] SERVER
    If you want to eat, then do
    your jobs, you lazy bums!
[13:42] RAHAT & TURAL
    O-Okay...
[13:44] AKIZA
    Why only Kai?
[13:46] KAI
    Don't ask me!
[13:47] MANSO
    Spring really has come for you, huh?
[13:50] KAI
    I told you, it's not like that!
[13:54] LILISA
    Sister?
[13:55] ELSA
    Huh? Oh!
[13:59] MAN
    Elsa, you feel that strongly about me?
[14:02] ELSA
    What? N-No, it's not like that!
[14:05] MAN
    There you go again. You're blushing.
[14:07] ELSA
    No, I'm not!
[14:08] MAN
    You sure about that?
[14:09] ELSA
    I just made a mistake! Give it back!
[14:12] MAN
    I can't do that!
[14:54] ALL
    We're back from work!
[14:56] SERVER
    Oh, fine.
[14:59] SERVER
    Here, here, here.
[15:00] ALL
    What?!
[15:01] RAHAT
    Just one extra prit?
[15:08] CHILDREN
    Your Holiness!
[15:14] MANO
    It's no use. We'll never be able to lift this.
[15:26] RAHAT
    Not even Lord Vezin could lift that.
[15:30] TURAL
    Hey, look!
[15:46] TURAL
    Wow. The baron sure is something.
[15:50] VEZIN
    Now the village's harvests will grow even more.
[16:12] KAI
    It didn't work.
[16:16] KAI
    I still have a lot to learn
    as a guardian bearer.
[16:20] KAI
    Right, Valley God?
[16:35] KAI
    What are you doing, Elsa?
[16:41] KAI
    Did you find something unusual?
[16:43] ELSA
    No. I was just thinking they're
    blooming beautifully again this year.
[16:51] KAI
    Beautiful, huh?
    I've never even thought about that.
[16:56] ELSA
    These flowers were originally grown from
    seeds we brought from our village.
[17:01] KAI
    What?
[17:06] ELSA
    When our village was burned,
    we wanted to at least save the flowers.
[17:10] ELSA
    Our village is gone, but there
    are so many more flowers now.
[17:14] ELSA
    They're so tough.
[17:18] KAI
    Oh, right.
    We came to Lag Village from the same village.
[17:23] ELSA
    What?
[17:25] ELSA
    Had you forgotten?
[17:27] KAI
    Well, you know... I was still
    little when our village burned.
[17:41] ELSA
    Anyway, you're amazing, Kai.
[17:43] ELSA
    You've caught the attention of the baron.
[17:46] KAI
    I wouldn't say that.
[17:48] KAI
    Compared to the baron and Lady Jose,
    I still have a lot to learn.
[17:52] KAI
    I need to become stronger.
[17:54] ELSA
    Stronger?
[17:55] KAI
    Yeah.
[17:57] KAI
    For someone like me without family to
    survive, I have to become stronger.
[18:03] KAI
    I have friends like Manso and the others,
[18:06] KAI
    but I've always felt like I needed
    to become stronger than anyone else.
[18:15] KAI
    But...
[18:21] ELSA
    You said the same thing back then.
[18:23] KAI
    Back then?
[18:25] ELSA
    Yeah. Back then, you were crying by yourself.
[18:44] (Flashback) MACAQUE
    Zanna andatsu kadensu!
[19:09] ELSA
    I thought we were done for,
[19:12] ELSA
    but Lord Vezin arrived and defeated that macaque.
[19:39] (Flashback) YOUNG KAI
    I swear...
[19:42] (Flashback) YOUNG KAI
    I will become stronger!
[19:45] KAI
    I was frustrated then.
[19:49] ELSA
    Frustrated?
[19:51] KAI
    With the villagers who could only wait to be
    killed, even after everyone else was dead.
[19:57] KAI
    With myself for being unable to do anything.
[20:03] KAI
    So I swore to myself that I'd become stronger.
[20:12] KAI
    What am I saying?
    I'd forgotten about it until now.
[20:17] KAI
    There's no point in
    swearing that kind of oath.
[20:22] ELSA
    I remember.
[20:24] KAI
    Huh?
[20:25] ELSA
    Kai, you protected us then.
[20:32] ELSA
    You haven't changed a bit.
[20:54] MACAQUE
    Denzu Adohra-kahn!
[21:14] ORGS
    Adohra-kahn! Adohra-kahn! Adohra-kahn!
[21:23] ADOHRA-KAHN
    Our destination is that detestable valley!
[21:27] ORGS
    Adohra-kahn! Adohra-kahn! Adohra-kahn!
[21:33] ARUWE
    What you think, Your Holiness?
[21:36] KAI
    Looks good to me.
[21:38] ARUWE
    Thank you.
[21:49] ARUWE
    Aruwe make lots more.
[21:52] KAI
    Do as you please.
