[00:15] Menel
You're awfully cheery about a
little stack of papers, Will.
[00:19] Will
You could tell?
[00:20] Menel
Yeah.
[00:21] Menel
You were grinning and stroking that paper
[00:23] Menel
the way someone would stroke a woman's skin.
[00:27] Menel
Is that the stuff those
craftsmen presented to you?
[00:30] Will
They said these were the best of
all the trial sheets they made.
[00:35] Menel
You really are happy, aren't you?
[00:41] Will
Well, these...
[00:43] Will
are the future of this town, after all.
[00:51] Menel
Man, it's cold.
[00:54] Will
It's almost the winter solstice.
[00:58] Menel
It's a lot livelier these days.
[01:00] Will
Yeah.
[01:02] Will
Two years ago, I left the City of the Dead
[01:04] Will
and followed the river north,
[01:06] Will
until I found a deserted, half-sunken city.
[01:10] Will
Now, two years after rebuilding began,
[01:13] Will
people are calling this place
Torch Port, the port of light.
[01:18] Menel
Will, what did you mean when you said
that paper was this town's future?
[01:23] Will
If all we do is cut down all the lumber
around here and sell it to Whitesails,
[01:26] Will
the city will eventually run
out of trees and die out.
[01:29] Will
So we need to diversify trade in this town.
[01:33] Will
We'll be better off for it in ten years.
[01:34] Menel
And that's what that paper is?
[01:37] Will
It's the first step,
and one worth celebrating.
[01:39] Menel
Hmm...
[01:40] Menel
You know, you think like an elf sometimes.
[01:45] Will
You're just the type that
lives in the moment.
[01:47] Menel
We're basically at the ends of
the earth. I could die tomorrow.
[01:52] Menel
So I want to feel satisfied today.
[01:55] Menel
I'm sure most people living here
feel that way, including me.
[02:01] Will
And I want to change that.
[02:07] Menel
Well, maybe that's why the
goddess of light chose you.
[02:11] Will
Huh?
[02:12] Menel
You're right in the middle of the front
line, where you could die at any time,
[02:15] Menel
talking about planting the seeds
that'll benefit us in ten years.
[02:23] Menel
By the way...
[02:24] Menel
The brother of the crown prince
of Whitesails invited us
[02:27] Menel
to the new year's ceremony. Gonna go?
[02:30] Will
Oh... That's right.
SIGN The Faraway Paladin
SIGN The Lord of the Rust Mountains
[04:36] Bee
Wow! How pretty!
[04:39] Bee
Well? Did you enjoy the
winter solstice festival?
[04:42] Will
Yeah, it was fun. I'm worn out, though.
[04:45] Bee
Going around greeting all the
important people with a smile
[04:49] Bee
isn't as easy as it looks, huh?
[04:52] Will
But thanks to Menel putting
my outfit together
[04:54] Will
and all the help I got from Bishop Bagley,
[04:57] Will
I managed to pull it off.
[04:59] Bee
I wanted to see Menel in formal clothes!
[05:02] Bee
Where is Menel, anyway?
[05:04] Will
I invited him, but he said,
[05:06] Will
"Shut up! At least let me sleep
in on the day of the event!"
[05:11] Will
What about you? Did you make a profit?
[05:13] Bee
Of course!
[05:14] Bee
This is the most profitable
time of year for a troubadour!
[05:25] Bee
What is it?
[05:27] Will
I was just thinking,
this town really is beautiful.
[05:30] Will
The forests around the
Beast Woods are still very poor.
[05:33] Will
We have to work a lot harder.
[05:38] Bee
Will.
[05:47] Bee
Bop!
[05:49] Bee
You're worrying too much.
[05:52] Will
Bee...
[05:53] Bee
You do have a tendency to do that.
[05:59] Will
I made a promise...
[06:01] Will
that I'd be as the goddess's
sword to banish evil,
[06:04] Will
and be as her hand to save the suffering.
[06:11] Bee
It's wonderful of you to have
such benevolent intentions,
[06:13] Bee
and it's very noble of you,
[06:15] Bee
but if that's the case, you should be
trying to please the goddess more!
[06:19] Will
Please her?
[06:20] Bee
Just think about it!
[06:22] Bee
What if a villager brought you
food to show his gratitude,
[06:24] Bee
but he himself was scrawny
and unsteady on his feet?
[06:28] Will
I'd tell him to eat it himself...
[06:32] Bee
Don't you think the goddess
would feel the same?
[06:36] Will
Yeah.
[06:39] Will
Thanks, Bee.
[06:40] Will
To thank you, I'll take you
wherever you want to go.
[06:44] Bee
My, what an enthusiastic proposition!
[06:47] Bee
I accept!
[06:52] Will
Bee, were you serious?
[06:54] Bee
Absolutely serious!
There's something I want to see.
[06:57] Bee
But it's not the kind of place a lowly
troubadour can get into just by asking nicely.
[07:03] Bee
You could sneak in, though, right?
[07:05] Bee
'Cause on top of being a warrior
priest, you're a great sorcerer!
[07:11] Will
A school attended by sorcerers
studying the Words of Creation,
[07:15] Will
located in the woods in a forbidden land...
[07:17] Will
The Academy.
[07:19] Bee
Well, then, let's go!
[07:20] Will
Wait.
[07:23] Will
I think...
[07:25] Will
this is Maze Alley magic.
[07:28] Will
And several Signs...
[07:30] Will
"Warning."
[07:31] Will
"Paralysis."
[07:32] Will
"Sleep."
[07:33] Will
"Blind."
[07:34] Will
Yeah, we can't go in.
[07:36] Bee
What?!
[07:38] Bee
Shouldn't you be able to go in?!
[07:40] Bee
With, you know, brute strength?!
[07:42] Will
If we tried to force our way in,
[07:45] Will
it'd be raining blood.
[07:46] Will
And that's not a metaphor.
[07:48] Bee
Huh?!
[07:49] Will
It's set up to prevent anyone
from sneaking in uninvited.
[07:52] Bee
Oh...
[07:57] Bee
Well, if even you can't get it,
I guess that's that!
[08:00] Bee
Let's head back to town and eat at a—
[08:01] Will
We can't sneak in, but...
[08:04] Bee
Will?
[08:07] Will
Let's just go up to the front door.
[08:10] Bee
That's a good idea!
[08:21] Bee
Er... huh?
[08:23] Bee
Which way did we get here from?
[08:27] Bee
Wait, what? I know in my head
where we came from, but...
[08:30] Will
It's okay. Just keep holding on to my hand.
[08:45] Will
Well, this is just mean.
[08:47] Bee
Wh-Which is the wrong path?
[08:52] Will
Ne Fronti Crede.
SIGN Do Not Believe the Pretense
[08:59] Bee
Wha...
[09:00] Will
This is the right one.
[09:06] Will
"Either learn... or leave."
[09:09] Will
If you will not learn, you must leave?
[09:14] Bee
Will...
[09:15] Bee
Don't push this, okay?
[09:17] Bee
Even the Wandering Sage in his youth
[09:20] Bee
couldn't pass through this route on his own.
[09:23] Will
What?
[09:24] Will
Gus couldn't?
[09:25] Bee
He was a child prodigy,
[09:27] Bee
yet he still couldn't visit the
Academy without his master's help.
[09:32] Bee
That's how he learned just
how immature he still was.
[09:36] Will
I see.
[09:38] Will
So even Gus couldn't get through
here when he was young.
[09:44] Bee
What is this? A curse?
[09:47] Bee
Looking at it makes me feel really uneasy.
[09:50] Will
Hmm... I can't really
sense any mana at work...
[09:54] Bee
D-Doesn't that make it all
the more suspicious?
[09:56] Bee
Setting a little trap in something
obviously suspicious is classic!
[10:03] Will
You're right. There's a Sign carved into
it that makes one just a little uneasy.
[10:07] Bee
Boy, talk about twisted!
[10:09] Bee
I could write a song about this alone!
[10:20] Old Man
Oh?
[10:22] Old Man
What's this? Visitors?
[10:24] Will
It's a pleasure to meet you.
[10:27] Will
My name is William G. Maryblood.
[10:30] Bee
I'm Bee. Robina Goodfellow.
[10:33] Bee
Would you kindly tell
us your name, good sir?
[10:39] Old Man
I'm just an old man who's built
up nothing but a lot of years.
[10:44] Old Man
I'm the Academy's groundskeeper.
[10:47] Old Man
My name is not worthy
of giving to a paladin.
[10:51] Old Man
More importantly, you must be cold.
[10:53] Old Man
Why don't you rest here for a bit?
[10:56] Will
Thank you very much.
[10:59] Bee
Tell us, kind groundskeeper.
[11:01] Bee
Is the Academy still far from here?
[11:05] Old Man
For what purpose might you be
visiting the Academy, young lady?
[11:10] Old Man
You do not appear to be a new student.
[11:14] Bee
There's something I want to see!
[11:16] Old Man
Oh? But the Academy has a rule
that only sorcerers may enter.
[11:24] Will
We were hoping to ask them if we might
be allowed in for just a brief look.
[11:28] Old Man
Well, I do hope you succeed
in earning permission.
[11:33] Old Man
Now, toast and eat these.
They'll warm you up.
[11:37] Bee
Wow! Thank you!
[11:39] Will
We gratefully accept.
[11:57] Bee
This is so good!
[11:59] Bee
It's cheese made from goat milk, isn't it?
[12:02] Old Man
That's absolutely right.
[12:03] Will
It really is good!
[12:05] Old Man
Incidentally, I hear the Faraway Paladin
has knowledge of magic.
[12:11] Will
Yes, I have learned a bit.
[12:14] Old Man
As the Academy's groundskeeper,
I witness magic occasionally,
[12:19] Old Man
but I am most interested in seeing
what sort of magic you have.
[12:26] Will
I bet I'm being tested.
[12:29] Will
I'm unable to use my magic for mere sport.
[12:33] Will
Please understand.
[12:35] Old Man
Even if I beg to see it?
[12:38] Will
Please understand.
[12:39] Old Man
Has that always been your stance?
[12:42] Will
Yes.
[12:43] Will
It's what my master taught me,
[12:45] Will
and I want to uphold it to
the best of my ability.
[12:48] Old Man
Hmm... In that case,
might I ask a favor of you?
[12:52] Will
Of course.
[12:54] Old Man
Last night's snow has left
all the trees quite damp,
[12:57] Old Man
and my fire continues to smolder today.
[13:00] Old Man
This is all quite tough on my old bones.
[13:03] Old Man
I would like to have some dry firewood.
[13:06] Old Man
Could you prepare some for me?
[13:13] Will
This problem would've been solved
if I uttered the Words of Drying.
[13:19] Will
But...
[13:24] Will
You can dry damp wood over a fire.
[13:27] Will
It's such common knowledge.
[13:32] Old Man
I do appreciate this. It's so nice and warm.
[13:36] Old Man
Now, I have a question for the two of you.
[13:41] Old Man
If great magic were to exist in this world,
[13:44] Old Man
what do you think it would be like?
[13:50] Bee
Maybe it'd be magic that would
bring people happiness?
[13:53] Old Man
Oh?
[13:55] Bee
Whether it's the simplest Words
used to create a smokescreen
[13:58] Bee
or a highly elaborate, artistic Sign...
[14:01] Bee
If it was woven with a
prayer to bring happiness,
[14:05] Bee
I think it's plenty great.
[14:08] Old Man
What an intriguing opinion.
[14:11] Old Man
And why is it that you feel that way?
[14:14] Bee
Because that's how Will uses his magic.
[14:18] Bee
It's why I like him so much.
[14:21] Bee
Though I'm not crazy about the way he
tends to put off his own happiness.
[14:26] Will
B-Bee...
[14:28] Old Man
I see, I see.
[14:31] Old Man
Splendid.
[14:50] Hiram
Allow me to properly introduce myself.
[14:53] Hiram
I am a professor of the Academy
and the Master of the Woods.
[14:56] Hiram
My name is Hiram.
[14:59] Hiram
I also serve as groundskeeper.
[15:02] Will
Groundskeeper?
[15:04] Hiram
It will be a bit of a special exception,
[15:07] Hiram
but I will assume the responsibility of
allowing you to tour the Academy.
[15:11] Hiram
Now, young lady...
[15:13] Hiram
What part of the Academy
did you wish to see?
[15:17] Bee
W-Well...
[15:22] Bee
Um...
[15:24] Hiram
I see, I see.
[15:27] Hiram
In that case, let us go.
[15:36] Bee
What, what?! What is that?!
[15:38] Bee
There's a doll out there cleaning!
[15:40] Hiram
That is a golem created by
a previous Master of Forms.
[15:45] Hiram
It's quite a handy thing to have.
[15:47] Will
Incredible... Its movements are so delicate.
[15:51] Will
Even if the mana here is very stable,
[15:54] Will
I can't imagine the work
that must've gone into it.
[16:05] Will
By the way...
[16:06] Will
How do you determine whether
someone has a talent for magic?
[16:11] Will
The words of those with talent have power.
[16:15] Hiram
Both our Words of Creation and the everyday
words we use have the same roots.
[16:21] Hiram
The words of a child with talent
just naturally make things happen.
[16:26] Bee
I know about that!
[16:28] Bee
When a kid like that really puts
their all into cheering for you,
[16:31] Bee
you'll feel an inexplicable rush,
[16:33] Bee
or if someone who hates you
says mean things to you,
[16:36] Bee
you can actually get hurt.
[16:39] Hiram
Yes.
[16:41] Hiram
It's said that the ones
who make ideal sorcerers
[16:44] Hiram
are often docile, easygoing,
patient, and quiet.
[16:47] Hiram
Those who are fierce by nature cannot
help but use intense language.
[16:52] Hiram
And if one continually
uses intense language,
[16:55] Hiram
they will eventually bring
about their own ruin.
[16:58] Will
Gus used to tell me stories like
that as warnings when I was little.
[17:03] Will
It's a shared teaching that's omnipresent
among those who use magic,
[17:09] Will
and it's a teaching that's alive
and well here at the Academy.
[17:15] Hiram
Well, here we are.
[17:21] Hiram
This is what you wished to see:
the Academy's library.
[17:32] Hiram
I will personally authorize you
[17:34] Hiram
to browse anywhere you like,
excluding the forbidden shelves downstairs.
[17:38] Bee
I know my request was unreasonable.
[17:41] Bee
Thank you very much for granting it.
[17:44] Hiram
Well, I shall be out in the courtyard.
[17:48] Hiram
Should you need anything, just call me.
[17:53] Will
So it was the books you wanted to see?
[17:55] Bee
Yep. Surprised?
[17:57] Will
A bit.
[17:58] Will
I thought you wanted to see
where the sorcerers learned
[18:01] Will
so you could use it as a
reference for your songs.
[18:04] Bee
There's a book I'm hoping to find.
[18:06] Will
Want some help?
[18:09] Bee
I'll search on my own for now.
[18:12] Bee
I might've made you bring me
here only to end up boring you.
[18:15] Bee
Sorry.
[18:20] Will
An introduction to the history of magic...
[18:22] Will
I learned a fair amount from Gus,
[18:25] Will
but I wonder how much changed in
the 200 years he wasn't aware of.
[18:35] Will
Bee.
[18:37] Will
I'll hold those.
[18:38] Bee
Thanks.
[18:44] Will
A record of Academy graduates...
[18:47] Will
and a collection of local historical records?
[19:28] Will
Hey, Bee...
[19:29] Bee
Wondering why was I looking
for books like those?
[19:36] Bee
Long ago, before I became a troubadour,
[19:40] Bee
there was someone I traveled with.
[19:42] Bee
A lady with dull gold hair and eyes
the same beautiful blue as the sea.
[19:47] Bee
We ended up together by chance,
but we got on pretty well.
[19:51] Bee
I learned later that she
was an amazing sorcerer.
[19:55] Bee
Apparently, she was traveling all around
[19:57] Bee
searching all kinds of ruins for
Signs that have long been lost,
[20:01] Bee
but she was such a nice person that she
took on a lot of people's problems.
[20:04] Bee
She wasn't that famous or anything,
[20:07] Bee
but in certain areas,
she was known as a hero.
[20:10] Bee
I was having fun, too, so I made all
kinds of detours to stay with her.
[20:14] Bee
Then, when it was time
to go our separate ways,
[20:17] Bee
we waved at each other and
said, "See you later."
[20:21] Bee
She died not long after we parted ways.
[20:25] Bee
I heard she died fighting a bunch
of spectres to protect a town.
[20:35] Will
That's so...
[20:37] Bee
Oh, don't get the wrong idea.
[20:39] Bee
It's not that I'm upset because she died.
[20:42] Bee
I mean, yeah, I'm sad,
but she'd made up her mind, right?
[20:46] Bee
I'm not into criticizing things that
someone's made up their mind about.
[20:51] Bee
But... still...
[20:54] Bee
I can't just sit around and let that kind
of resolve be immediately forgotten.
[20:59] Bee
She was a hero, so her
death was mourned by many.
[21:02] Bee
But even that was washed away by
the passage of time and forgotten,
[21:06] Bee
until nobody even spoke her name anymore.
[21:09] Bee
This world is filled with dangers.
[21:12] Bee
Every time a hero is born,
they're quickly forgotten.
[21:15] Bee
I guess that's just how it
works, but... but still...
[21:19] Bee
They lauded her and thanked her,
but when she died, that was the end of it.
[21:22] Bee
I can't stand that.
[21:24] Bee
A person's determination isn't
something to use up and throw away!
[21:28] Bee
So I've been singing about her
to keep her story alive.
[21:32] Bee
And along the way, I realized...
[21:34] Will
Realized what?
[21:35] Bee
Songs of heroes hold hope!
[21:39] Will
Hope?
[21:40] Bee
There's someone out there trying to save
people with exceptional strength or magic.
[21:44] Bee
There's someone who's fighting,
who's always been fighting, perhaps.
[21:47] Bee
And that brings a lot of hope to people!
[21:51] Bee
Just like the Three Heroes
you're so fond of...
[21:55] Bee
and maybe even just like who you are now!
[21:59] Bee
Look!
[22:02] Bee
The first star that shines before
the darkness of night sets in.
[22:06] Bee
That's what a hero is!
[22:08] Bee
When you walk, there are
people who follow after you.
[22:15] Bee
Don't you think that's a great thing?
[22:17] Will
Yeah, I do.
[22:19] Bee
And that's why I sing.
[22:22] Bee
To tell people there's a
shining star right here!
[22:27] Bee
Okay, we're all done talking about me.
[22:31] Bee
Whew, after all that talking,
I kind of want to sing now.
[22:35] Will
Want to go sing somewhere?
[22:37] Bee
Yeah, yeah! Ready to make some money?
[22:40] Will
Let's go.
[22:41] Bee
Well, then, since you'll be there,
[22:42] Bee
you can keep the crowd going
and collect offerings!
[22:45] Will
Right, got it.
[22:47] Will
I don't think Bee will ever
settle down where I am.
[22:52] Bee
Imagine, a paladin picking up coins for me!
[22:54] Bee
Talk about luxury!
[22:56] Will
Her conviction, as one who
seeks and spreads songs,
[23:00] Will
won't ever allow her to stay
in one place for long.
[23:04] Will
But even if she leaves, I know
she'll come back eventually.
[23:09] Will
Hey, sing me the song about
that sorcerer when it's done.
[23:13] Bee
Hmm...
Okay, I'll let you hear it.
[23:16] Bee
I've stocked up on plenty
of information on her now!
[23:21] Will
One day,
[23:22] Will
even if I meet my end in battle somewhere,
[23:26] Will
I'm sure...

All right. Got a new sword in the process.

If the demon commanders
were the gatekeepers...

Yeah. The lord of the forest is ahead.

We're going in.
[00:45] Will
Got it.
SIGN The Faraway Paladin
SIGN The Lord of the Rust Mountains
SIGN The Mad Forest
[02:26] Will
That big tree is...
[02:28] Menel
Yeah. The Lord of Holly that rules
over this forest's winters.
[02:43] Menel
Words of Creation?
[02:44] Will
That's... a curse.
[02:48] Will
They're blasphemous words.
[02:49] Cernunnos
What has happened to my gatekeepers?
[02:52] Menel
What do you think?
[02:54] Cernunnos
I see, I see.
[02:57] Cernunnos
I presume, then, that you are the
Faraway Paladin, Sir William,
[03:02] Cernunnos
and you are the one called
Meneldor of Swift Wings.
[03:07] Will
General...
[03:08] Will
Cernunnos.
[03:10] Cernunnos
If the two celebrated heroes have come here,
[03:13] Cernunnos
we need not waste time.
[03:18] Cernunnos
I will see that you die right here.
[03:24] Will
A few days ago, on the summer solstice...
[03:27] Will
I saw snowdrops blooming out of season,
[03:31] Will
and that's where it started.
[03:34] Will
Crown Prince Ethel of Whitesails asked
me to find out why it was happening,
[03:39] Will
so we came here, where we found...
[03:49] (Flashback) Will
What in the world...
[03:51] (Flashback) Menel
The forest...
[03:53] (Flashback) Menel
The forest has gone mad.
[03:58] (Flashback) Menel
This entire forest region is
ruled by two ancient trees,
[04:03] (Flashback) Menel
the Lord of Oak and the Lord of Holly.
[04:05] (Flashback) Will
Ancient trees?
[04:07] (Flashback) Menel
They're twin brothers.
[04:09] (Flashback) Menel
The Lord of Oak rules from the winter
solstice to the summer solstice.
[04:12] (Flashback) Menel
The lord brothers yield the royal authority
to one another at each solstice,
[04:16] (Flashback) Menel
keeping the four seasons turning
throughout the forest.
[04:19] (Flashback) Will
Then...
[04:20] (Flashback) Menel
The transfer of the royal authority
may have stagnated for some reason.
[04:26] (Flashback) Menel
If it's been thrown off right
on the summer solstice...
[04:29] (Flashback) Menel
It must be the Lord of Oak.
[04:33] (Flashback) Menel
Great Lord of Oak, ruler of the forest,
[04:37] (Flashback) Menel
why do you refuse to transfer the
royal authority to the Lord of Holly?
[04:41] (Flashback) Oak
Nay, children of man.
[04:43] (Flashback) Oak
It is the Lord of Holly who will
not accept the transfer of power.
[04:50] (Flashback) Menel
Why not?
[04:51] (Flashback) Oak
I do not know.
[04:53] (Flashback) Oak
My communication with the
Lord of Holly has been severed,
[04:56] (Flashback) Oak
and the transfer of power
cannot be performed.
[05:00] (Flashback) Oak
The royal authority is great.
[05:02] (Flashback) Oak
If it does not lie with the correct
owner at the correct time,
[05:06] (Flashback) Oak
it will only foster the spread of evil.
[05:08] (Flashback) Oak
It may be only a short time before
this forest suffers a fatal collapse.
[05:14] (Flashback) Menel
Then, give it to me.
[05:16] (Flashback) Will
Menel?!
[05:17] (Flashback) Menel
Lord of Oak, entrust your
royal authority to me.
[05:23] (Flashback) Oak
I cannot.
[05:25] (Flashback) Oak
It may have been possible for
the true fae from days of old,
[05:29] (Flashback) Oak
but because you carry human blood in
your veins, you would not last a month.
[05:33] (Flashback) Oak
Your soul would be destroyed.
[05:36] (Flashback) Menel
One month is no problem.
[05:39] (Flashback) Menel
He and I will resolve this
whole matter in that time.
[05:42] (Flashback) Oak
Why would you go to such lengths?
[05:46] (Flashback) Menel
Because I swore I'd live
my life looking forward
[05:49] (Flashback) Menel
to atone for my sins.
[05:51] (Flashback) Menel
Through a friend who saved the
soul of the one who saved me,
[05:55] (Flashback) Menel
I made a vow to the great goddess.
[05:57] (Flashback) Menel
No greater reason than that.
[06:11] (Flashback) Oak
This trial is a secret rite
known only to this forest.
[06:16] (Flashback) Oak
You, agent of the goddess of light,
[06:20] (Flashback) Oak
do not have the right to participate.
[06:24] (Flashback) Will
I realize that.
[06:25] (Flashback) Will
I'll wait here, for days if I must.
[06:32] (Flashback) Menel
I won't make you wait for days. Don't worry.
[06:43] Will
I don't know what happened in there,
[06:46] Will
what hardships Menel went
through, or what he overcame.
[06:53] Will
But...
[07:11] Will
That was how Menel received
the royal authority.
[07:20] Will
Menel, you ready?
[07:21] Menel
Perfectly. You handle the rest.
[07:24] Menel
Lord... Lord of Holly!
[07:27] Menel
Twin brother who rules from the summer
solstice to the winter solstice!
[07:31] Menel
I bestow upon thee the power I received
from your lord brother, the Lord of Oak,
[07:35] Menel
the power that makes a king!
[07:56] Cernunnos
You will regret that.
[07:58] Cernunnos
To think you had already
won over the Lord of Oak!
[08:02] Will
We will defeat you. For this forest...
[08:05] Will
By the light of Gracefeel,
goddess of the cycle of death and rebirth!
SIGN From smoke to flames
[08:14] Cernunnos

SIGN Be Silent, Mouth
[08:16] Will
Tacere, Os!
[08:20] Menel
It went off anyway?
[08:23] Cernunnos
Well done, well done.
[08:41] Cernunnos
Are you really human?!
[08:52] Holly
I am the Lord of Holly.
[08:55] Holly
For your bravery and valor in
eliminating those insolent invaders,
[08:58] Holly
and for performing the transfer
of the royal authority,
[09:02] Holly
I commend you and thank you
from the bottom of my heart.
[09:05] Holly
I must first restore order
to this maddened forest.
[09:25] Menel
He uses that insane power like
it's just another hand or foot.
[09:30] Holly
Child of both elf and man,
[09:32] Holly
you will be like me one day.
[09:36] Menel
Huh?
[09:37] Holly
You forged a contract with
my brother, the Lord of Oak.
[09:42] Holly
Though only briefly, you held within
yourself the authority to rule the forest.
[09:47] Holly
The human and fae blood and power within
you is already inclining toward fae,
[09:52] Holly
bringing you closer to being a suitable
vessel for a Lord of the Forest.
[09:57] Will
Huh?
[09:58] Menel
I had no intention of doing any of that.
[10:01] Holly
That is what it means to entrust
the royal authority to another,
[10:05] Holly
young sprout.
[10:09] Holly
Worry not.
[10:11] Holly
This does not mean you will
transform right away.
[10:14] Holly
So long as you do not neglect your training,
[10:16] Holly
then perhaps after well
over a hundred years,
[10:20] Holly
you will become a new Lord of the Forest.
[10:23] Menel
Can I refuse?
[10:25] Holly
It is not impossible.
[10:26] Holly
If you wish it, you may still
die as a child of man.
[10:30] Holly
Give it plenty of thought.
[10:32] Holly
And you, child of man, disciple of light...
[10:36] Will
Yes?
[10:37] Holly
There is something I must tell you.
[10:41] Holly
Do you know of the mountain range to
the west whose rocks have turned red?
[10:47] Will
You mean the Rust Mountains?
[10:51] Holly
In a future that is not so distant
for you children of man,
[10:54] Holly
the Fire of Black Calamity will break out.
[10:59] Holly
The flames will spread, and may even
consume this land in its entirety.
[11:05] Will
You mean...
[11:06] Holly
Those demon beasts came here from
the Rust Mountains, as well.
[11:11] Holly
That land is now a nest of demons.
[11:14] Holly
A land where the enormous
Lord of Hellfire and Miasma sleeps,
[11:19] Holly
making his bed from the riches
of the mountain people.
[11:22] Will
Lord of Hellfire and Miasma?
[11:25] Holly
Whether you choose to fight
it or accept it, be prepared.
[11:29] Holly
That day is not far off now.
[11:31] Holly
This is both a warning and an act of duty.
[11:35] Holly
Child of man, young sprout,
[11:39] Holly
I promise you a bountiful
harvest this autumn.
[11:44] Will
The Fire of Black Calamity...
[11:49] Ethel
I truly asked too much of you this time.
[11:52] Ethel
Or perhaps I should say "again"?
[11:55] Menel
I'll say. You put us to work every
damn time something happens.
[11:59] Ethel
Well, the paladin here is a
retainer of mine, after all.
[12:03] Ethel
And if I send for Sir William, I get
a fine hero like you along with him.
[12:07] Ethel
A real bargain!
[12:09] Menel
I'm not some bonus from a market stall!
[12:12] Ethel
But you are the paladin's friend.
[12:15] Ethel
Just as a friend fights for his friend,
[12:17] Ethel
a knight fights for the people
and for his lord.
[12:21] Ethel
Am I wrong?
[12:22] Menel
Service, devotion, loyalty...
[12:25] Menel
It all sounds nice on the surface,
but what's the reality?
[12:29] Menel
If you burden someone too
much, you breed discontent.
[12:32] Menel
So what if, the next time you really
need them, they don't want to help?
[12:35] Ethel
That's true. I wouldn't want the
paladin to run away from me.
[12:39] Ethel
So I must make sure to compensate
him generously so he sticks around.
[12:43] Menel
Exactly. It's important to
have that kind of attitude.
[12:48] Menel
That makes him feel good about
demonstrating his loyalty.
[12:51] Ethel
I'll give you money and whatever
goods you want later.
[12:55] Will
Leave it to Menel.
[12:56] Ethel
That aside, Sir William...
[12:59] Will
Y-Yes? What is it?
[13:01] Ethel
I have a big favor to ask of you.
[13:04] Ethel
Would you give Meneldor here to me?
[13:07] Will
Huh?
[13:08] Ethel
He's a talented fairy user as
well as a masterful hunter.
[13:12] Ethel
Plus he's a half-elf who doesn't age,
and he doesn't hesitate to tell me off.
[13:17] Ethel
Yes, I want him. I truly want him.
[13:20] Will
Your Highness, Menel isn't property.
[13:26] Bagley
I apologize for the wait, Your Highness.
[13:29] Ethel
Thanks for coming, Bagley.
[13:31] Will
It's good to see you again, Bishop Bagley.
[13:34] Bagley
Hah. Victorious again, I suppose?
[13:38] Bagley
My word, hero... After all the flattery
for your peerless acts of valor,
[13:41] Bagley
I thought perhaps you'd have gotten
cocky and lost at least once by now.
[13:46] Ethel
Now, why don't you give us
your report on this incident?
[13:50] Will
"The Fire of Black Calamity will
break out in the Rust Mountains.
[13:55] Will
The flames will spread, and may even
consume this land in its entirety."
[14:00] Will
That's what the Lord of Holly told me.
[14:03] Ethel
I thought the matter of the demon
beasts and demons had settled down...
[14:07] Ethel
Now we have an unknown
"Fire of Black Calamity"
[14:09] Ethel
and "Lord of Hellfire and Miasma"?
[14:11] Ethel
I'm also concerned about
[14:13] Ethel
the story you once told me about the demons'
High King sealed in the City of the Dead.
[14:18] Ethel
It's just one disturbance
after another, isn't it?
[14:22] Ethel
Honestly... Never a dull
moment on this continent.
[14:25] Bagley
Hunter, what sort of power does
this Lord of the Forest have?
[14:31] Bagley
Can this prophecy of his be trusted?
[14:34] Menel
Call me by my name, old man.
[14:36] Bagley
Are you in any position to talk?!
[14:39] Will
Um, could you two please get along?
[14:42] Bagley
With this insolent brat?
Spare me your jokes!
[14:45] Menel
I hate pompous oafs like him.
[14:49] Ethel
But he makes a fine business
partner, doesn't he?
[14:54] Bagley
Well, I do admit that he is talented.
[14:58] Menel
I wouldn't be sitting at the
same table with you otherwise.
[15:06] Menel
Look here.
[15:07] Menel
The Lords of the Forest rule the entire
region adjacent to this ley line.
[15:11] Menel
It can be a spirit dwelling
within a great tree or rock,
[15:15] Menel
an aged beast that's acquired intelligence,
or one of many other forms,
[15:18] Menel
but they've all lived for
at least a century or two.
[15:22] Menel
They're known as the
forest's heart and brain,
[15:26] Menel
and they know everything that
happens in their domain.
[15:29] Menel
If a prophecy comes from
a Lord of the Forest,
[15:31] Menel
there's probably solid
grounds to back it up.
[15:33] Menel
You can consider it a forecast.
[15:37] Bagley
This seems like a matter we should
treat as a high priority.
[15:41] Ethel
Yes.
[15:43] Ethel
The Rust Mountains,
the ruined dwarf capital,
[15:47] Ethel
is a nest of demons now, eh?
[15:49] Will
That sounds great!
[15:52] Will
In other words, we can go
as crazy as we want, right?
[15:56] Will
We know where the problem is located.
[15:58] Will
A desolate, hostile land where there's
no fear of harming bystanders!
[16:01] Will
In other words, this is a case meant for me!
[16:06] Ethel
Yes, I suppose you're right.
[16:10] Ethel
Would you take care of this matter, paladin?
[16:14] Will
Of course.
[16:16] Bagley
Good grief...
[16:17] Ethel
If a Lord of the Forest
promised a bountiful harvest,
[16:21] Ethel
we can probably assume we're
safe until autumn, at least.
[16:24] Ethel
The first step is to gather information.
[16:26] Will
I'll talk to my troubadour friend and
the dwarfs living in Torch Port.
[16:32] Ethel
Can I entrust all of this to you?
[16:34] Will
Yes.
[16:35] Ethel
This matter will remain a secret
between the four of us for now.
[16:40] Will
Not a problem. I'm sure it'll all work out.
[16:43] Ethel
When you say that, it makes
me feel like it really will.
[16:46] Bagley
Hmph! Don't get cocky after all this
hero treatment and let your guard down!
[16:54] Bee
About the Rust Mountains?
[16:56] Will
Yeah. I want to learn all I can about them.
[17:01] Bee
A troubadour's song doesn't
come free, you know.
[17:04] Bee
What'll you pay for my information?
[17:05] Will
U-Uh...
[17:07] Menel
If we end up having to go
to the Rust Mountains,
[17:09] Menel
we'll tell you any stories
we pick up there first.
[17:11] Menel
Is that good enough?
[17:13] Bee
Okay! It's a deal!
[17:17] Bee
Two hundred years ago, the Rust Mountains
[17:19] Bee
were known as the Iron Mountains.
[17:23] Bee
It was home to the Iron
Country, where the dwarfs,
[17:26] Bee
mountainfolk who followed the god of
fire and technology, Blaze, lived.
[17:31] Bee
It was a powerful country that
was once included in the Union.
[17:36] Will
The Iron Country...
[17:38] Bee
But it was lost in the great
uprising two hundred years ago.
[17:42] Bee
To stop the advance of the demons,
[17:45] Bee
the dwarf monarch of the mansion on the rock
[17:47] Bee
led many powerful warriors to fight them,
[17:50] Bee
but they all died in battle on the mountain.
[17:52] Bee
Much blood was shed, many
weapons were dispersed,
[17:56] Bee
and the mountain became the demons' nest.
[17:58] Bee
Then, at some point, the area became
known as the Rust Mountains.
[18:03] Menel
Because that's what happens when iron dies?
[18:05] Bee
The details of what happened in that
battle didn't survive, even in song.
[18:10] Bee
There's really no information
about it at all.
[18:12] Will
Why?
[18:13] Bee
Because all the dwarf warriors
and citizens were wiped out.
[18:17] Bee
And...
[18:19] Bee
The fate of any dwarf who fled the country
[18:22] Bee
was just too cruel to speak of.
[18:25] Menel
Half a year ago,
[18:27] Menel
we took in some dwarf
refugees at Torch Port.
[18:31] Menel
I'll never forget it.
[18:33] Menel
All of their eyes looked utterly exhausted.
[18:36] Menel
It made me realize that if we'd
taken one wrong step somewhere,
[18:38] Menel
that could've been us.
[18:41] Will
Menel...
[18:42] Bee
Everyone knows what befalls people who
are driven out of their homeland.
[18:47] Bee
That's why none of them want to
talk about their home mountain,
[18:51] Bee
or what happened in that final battle.
[18:53] Will
So that's why...
[18:55] Bee
So that's all I can tell you. I'm sorry.
[18:59] Will
No, you were a big help.
[19:02] Bee
But you know, Will...
[19:03] Bee
If you were to talk to them with
the understanding you have now,
[19:08] Bee
they just might talk to you, if no one else.
[19:12] Will
All right. Thanks.
[19:19] Menel
This way.
[19:26] Will
The fairies' path...
[19:28] Will
Is this the right way?
[19:30] Menel
Yeah, I can tell. I mean, I can tell now.
[19:33] Will
Because of the royal authority?
[19:35] Menel
Apparently. Not that I asked for it.
[19:38] Will
You know, if you and I get
separated, I'm done for.
[19:42] Menel
Don't worry. I won't lose you.
[19:45] Menel
If you stray away, I'll drag you back.
[19:46] Will
You can do that, too?
[19:49] Menel
I was planning to train myself to do this...
[19:51] Menel
But hey, whether you get it free
or work for it, power is power.
[19:55] Menel
It's all the same once you
make it a part of yourself.
[19:59] Will
It's amazing, though. You're going
to be a Lord of the Forest someday?
[20:04] Menel
In two or three hundred years, if not more.
[20:08] Menel
It's probably somewhere in that realm.
[20:12] Will
I'll be long dead by then.
[20:15] Menel
True.
[20:16] Menel
Maybe I'll be your gravekeeper
[20:19] Menel
while I watch where your kids
and grandkids end up...
[20:22] Menel
I guess everything will
have settled down by then.
[20:26] Will
You've been planning to do that?
[20:28] Menel
Yes, I have.
[20:30] Menel
I have all kinds of debts to
you that I can never repay.
[20:35] Menel
All half-elves have to make a
life-altering decision at some point.
[20:40] Menel
To live as an elf, almost like the fae
for perpetuity alongside the earth and water...
[20:45] Menel
Or to live the human life, like a
flickering fire or a gust of wind.
[20:51] Menel
That's the fate of those
born with both bloodlines.
[20:58] Menel
I want to see what becomes
of all your accomplishments.
[21:03] Will
I might not be able to
do anything that great.
[21:06] Menel
You're already enough of a legend.
[21:09] Menel
And you'll keep making more legends,
all with that spacey face of yours.
[21:14] Menel
I'll be fighting by your side,
and if I survive until your life ends...
[21:19] Menel
Yeah... It might not be so bad to wrap it
all up by fading away into the forest.
[21:24] Menel
After I say some awesome line to make
myself look good in the end, of course.
[21:30] Will
You'll be a legend.
[21:32] Menel
As will you. Doesn't sound bad, right?
[21:35] Will
Yeah.
[21:43] Will
Amazing... That distance should've
taken days to cover...
[21:47] Menel
Pretty handy, aren't they?
[21:48] Will
It's a little scary that you
use them so easily, though...
[21:58] Will
We've made it back to our Torch Port home.

Through the words of the Creator,

and the Lords of the Forest,
[02:55] (Flashback) Gus
choosing to live long lives alongside them.
[02:58] (Flashback) Gus
The other chose to live definite
lives and die definite deaths
[03:02] (Flashback) Gus
as beings with bodies of
flesh—the human way of life.
[03:06] (Flashback) Gus
Those affiliated with wind, water, and trees
[03:09] (Flashback) Gus
consulted with the goddess
of the forests, Rhea Silvia,
[03:12] (Flashback) Gus
leading to the birth to the elves.
[03:14] (Flashback) Gus
The spirits of earth, stone, and fire
longed for human craftsmanship,
[03:19] (Flashback) Gus
so they consulted the god of
fire and technology, Blaze,
[03:22] (Flashback) Gus
which resulted in the dwarf race.
[03:25] (Flashback) Gus
This is why the dwarfs are
such excellent craftsmen,
[03:29] (Flashback) Gus
as well as superior warriors.
[03:31] (Flashback) Blood
Yeah, those guys are the real deal.
[03:34] (Flashback) Young Will
Tell me more, Blood!
[03:37] (Flashback) Blood
Not sure there's much more to tell.
[03:42] (Flashback) Blood
They're a quiet lot, but they
know the meaning of courage.
[03:46] (Flashback) Blood
It's constantly on their minds.
[03:49] (Flashback) Young Will
What is?
[03:50] (Flashback) Blood
What's worth throwing away
their own lives to fight for.
[03:56] (Flashback) Blood
They go into battle with
their very souls on fire.
[04:00] (Flashback) Blood
They don't fear death.
[04:04] (Flashback) Blood
I have genuine respect for dwarven warriors.
[04:07] (Flashback) Blood
The ones I met and fought
alongside, at least,
[04:11] (Flashback) Blood
were true warriors.
[04:24] Will
Good morning.
[04:25] MaidA
Oh, young master. Good morning.
[04:28] Will
I'm heading out for morning training.
[04:29] MaidA
Of course.
[04:31] MaidB
That's some bed head you've got there!
[04:43] Menel
As always...
[04:46] Menel
Your look really doesn't match
your superhuman strength.
[04:49] Will
I would've liked to have the looks to match.
[04:52] Menel
You're approachable, though.
Maybe you're best as you are.
[04:55] Will
People seek things in others that
they don't have themselves.
[05:00] Will
Menel, stay right there for a bit.
[05:03] Menel
Sure.
[05:09] Will
Good morning.
[05:15] Al
U-Um...
[05:17] Al
G-Good... mor...
[05:20] Will
Would you like to watch before you move on?
[05:24] Al
U-Um...
[05:26] Menel
Hey. What're you doing?
[05:29] Menel
Who are you? Haven't seen you before.
[05:31] Menel
What's your deal?
[05:33] Menel
If you're that interested, just watch us.
[05:35] Al
N-No, that's quite all right!
I'm sorry for intruding!
[05:43] Will
Menel...
[05:44] Menel
Sorry. That backfired on me.
[05:47] Will
Yes, it did.
[05:49] Menel
I'm not sure if he was
interested in our training,
[05:51] Menel
or in the paladin everyone talks about.
[05:54] Will
Probably the training.
[05:56] Will
The dwarfs are a warrior race, after all.
[05:58] Menel
He didn't seem like much of a warrior.
[06:00] Will
You think so?
[06:21] Agnarr
Welcome.
[06:23] Agnarr
Thank you for coming.
[06:25] Will
I'm sorry to visit on such short notice.
[06:28] Agnarr
Oh, no. There's someone I want
to introduce to you, as well.
[06:33] Agnarr
He represents the immigrants who
recently arrived in this city,
[06:37] Agnarr
and he is my grand-uncle.
His name is Grendir.
[06:41] Grendir
At your service.
[06:43] Will
I serve His Highness the Crown
Prince Ethelbald Southmark,
[06:46] Will
who has entrusted me with
governing Beast Woods.
[06:49] Will
My name is William.
[06:52] Will
Why did you and your people come here?
[06:57] Grendir
To die.
[07:00] Will
Pardon me...
[07:02] Agnarr
Uncle Grendir, you will only startle
him by speaking so frankly.
[07:08] Grendir
We haven't long left in this world.
[07:11] Grendir
We wish to die with our
eyes on our homeland.
[07:15] Agnarr
Uncle Grendir is one of the last survivors
from the mountains to the west.
[07:19] Will
The Iron Mountains?
[07:22] Grendir
I gaze at those mountains from a distance,
[07:27] Grendir
dreaming of the day when we reclaim them.
[07:30] Grendir
I would truly die happy if this
dream could come to pass.
[07:36] Grendir
While I realize it may inconvenience you,
[07:39] Grendir
I am willing to do any type of work.
[07:41] Grendir
If you could just allow me to stay
in some little corner of the city...
[07:47] Will
Please rest at ease.
I'll do everything I can.
[07:51] Will
I promise I'll protect all
of you from injustice.
[07:59] Grendir
Thank you... Thank you...
[08:04] Agnarr
Two hundred years ago,
[08:05] Agnarr
a monarch lived in the Iron Country.
[08:09] Agnarr
Of short stature and frail constitution,
[08:11] Agnarr
he did not excel in the martial
arts and preferred to write.
[08:14] Agnarr
He was Aurvangr, the last
king of the Iron Country.
[08:18] Agnarr
It was an age of peace.
[08:20] Agnarr
The land was blessed with
prosperity and well-being.
[08:24] Agnarr
But then... a storm came.
[08:28] Agnarr
An invasion by demons from the abyss,
[08:30] Agnarr
led by the High King of the Eternals.
[08:35] Agnarr
When the fires of war encroached
upon the Iron Country,
[08:38] Agnarr
an emissary of the demons appeared.
[08:40] Agnarr
That emissary told our people
to follow the High King.
[08:45] (Flashback) WarriorA
Today's our last day to answer!
[08:47] (Flashback) WarriorB
If the only change is who sells us weapons,
[08:49] (Flashback) WarriorB
does it really matter?
[08:51] (Flashback) WarriorC
Those demons can't be trusted!
[08:53] (Flashback) WarriorC
We must fight them to the death!
[08:55] (Flashback) WarriorD
But if we're dragged into a
war, our children will die!
[08:58] (Flashback) WarriorE
What are we to do?
[09:03] (Flashback) Aurvangr
I will make the decision.
[09:10] (Flashback) Demon
What is your answer?
[09:16] (Flashback) Aurvangr
This.
[09:21] (Flashback) Aurvangr
This is the iron you and
your brethren wanted.
[09:23] (Flashback) Aurvangr
I'll give you as much of it as you want!
[09:27] (Flashback) Demon
The dragon is coming!
[09:29] (Flashback) Demon
Valacirca will destroy all!
[09:36] (Flashback) Aurvangr
I will not allow it.
[09:38] (Flashback) Aurvangr
We will draw the demons of the abyss here
and slay them all in the bowels of the earth!
[09:42] (Flashback) Aurvangr
This underground corridor
shall be their tomb!
[09:46] (Flashback) Aurvangr
Those who are not warriors,
or who are inexperienced warriors,
[09:49] (Flashback) Aurvangr
are to retreat from the Iron Mountains.
[09:52] (Flashback) Aurvangr
My people...
[09:54] (Flashback) Aurvangr
I will die,
[09:56] (Flashback) Aurvangr
and all the warriors who remain
here will likely die, as well.
[10:00] (Flashback) Aurvangr
But we must not let the Iron Country die!
[10:04] (Flashback) Aurvangr
The pain of issuing such a selfish
order tears my heart asunder,
[10:08] (Flashback) Aurvangr
yet I issue it regardless!
[10:10] (Flashback) Aurvangr
Even if you lose your homeland and
drown in regret and disgrace...
[10:14] (Flashback) Aurvangr
Live!
[10:16] (Flashback) Aurvangr
That is the battle I order you to fight!
[10:20] (Flashback) Aurvangr
You are not running away!
[10:22] (Flashback) Aurvangr
You are simply given command
over a different battlefield!
[10:25] (Flashback) Aurvangr
We, the king and warriors,
to protect our name and our pride,
[10:29] (Flashback) Aurvangr
will die in these mountains where
our ancestral spirits sleep!
[10:31] (Flashback) Aurvangr
All of you must abandon your pride
and wager everything on living!
[10:35] (Flashback) Aurvangr
Do not let the flames in our kilns die!
[10:38] (Flashback) Aurvangr
Live! Live and fight until
we make our comeback!
[10:43] (Flashback) Aurvangr
That is my last order!
[10:50] Agnarr
This is the legend of the Iron
Mountains that has been handed down.
[10:55] Agnarr
I wasn't even born yet at the time.
[10:59] Grendir
We had only just become royal guards.
[11:02] Grendir
We didn't even get to fight.
We could only obey his order...
[11:06] Grendir
and with the common folk...
[11:12] Grendir
Amid the bitter cold and
the treacherous path,
[11:16] Grendir
my child...
[11:18] Grendir
A cheerful child, all smiles,
who encouraged all of us to keep going...
[11:23] Grendir
could not even smile any longer,
and then... passed away.
[11:28] Grendir
I can no longer even remember how many died.
[11:33] Grendir
And yet... I lived!
[11:36] Grendir
I overcame that time of
chaos and lived 200 years!
[11:41] Grendir
And you have now returned this
land to the hands of man.
[11:46] Grendir
Not only that, but you
even shed tears with me.
[11:50] Grendir
We can return home someday.
We can fulfill the words of our king.
[11:56] Grendir
How noble it is to continue
believing such thoughts...
[12:03] Grendir
Sir William...
[12:05] Grendir
Thank you...
[12:08] Grendir
Thank you...
[12:13] Will
Aurvangr, the king of the Iron Country, huh?
[12:16] Will
And what is this dragon?
[12:21] ManA
Bastard!
[12:24] Al
Stop it!
[12:25] ManA
That hurt, damn it!
[12:25] Al
Stop!
[12:28] ManA
Damn you!
[12:29] Al
You're causing a disturbance!
[12:30] ManB
Piece of dung!
[12:31] Al
Take this outside!
[12:33] ManA
Shut yer hole, damn it!
[12:35] ManB
Hey! Hold him still!
[12:44] Will
Stop this.
[12:45] ManA
Huh?! Shut up!
[12:47] ManB
The hell?!
[12:48] Will
I won't let you take this any farther.
[12:52] Will
You two have just had a bit
too much to drink, right?
[12:57] ManAB
We're sorry for the disturbance!
[12:59] ManAB
Please take this and spare us!
[13:15] Will
Ah, you're awake?
[13:21] Will
What's your name?
[13:25] Al
It's... Al.
[13:26] Will
Al, eh?
[13:28] Will
You might already know, but I'm
William. Nice to meet you.
[13:33] Will
Yeah, looks like everything's fine.
[13:36] Will
It's amazing that you're not even
scratched after taking that many hits.
[13:40] Al
My toughness is the one thing
I've got going for me.
[13:44] Will
Are you the owner?
[13:46] Will
Allow me to apologize for the commotion.
[13:49] Daughter
My father is sick in bed.
[13:51] Daughter
I couldn't stop them on my own.
[13:55] Will
Shall I examine him?
[13:56] Daughter
What?! I couldn't ask that of you!
[13:59] Will
I don't mind.
[14:00] Will
If I knew someone was ill and did nothing,
[14:04] Will
the goddess would be furious with me.
[14:08] Will
Al, I'll be right back. Please rest a while.
[14:12] Al
All right...
[14:25] Will
I think you'll be fine now.
[14:29] Daughter
Thank you so much!
[14:31] Will
I received this power from
the goddess of light.
[14:34] Will
You can thank her.
[14:35] Owner
Of course!
[14:37] Owner
Oh, I know! Please let us
provide a meal for you!
[14:41] Daughter
Please!
[14:43] Will
I'd appreciate that.
[14:45] Will
I actually forgot to have dinner tonight.
[14:52] Will
What are you doing?
[14:59] Will
Wow, this is amazing.
[15:02] Al
It's really nothing, compared to you.
[15:06] Al
You're so strong and courageous...
[15:08] Will
You shouldn't say things like that.
[15:11] Al
Huh?
[15:13] Will
Don't curse yourself by saying
you're weak and cowardly.
[15:19] Will
Why don't you try being your
own strongest supporter?
[15:27] Al
I...
[15:28] Al
I will!
[15:34] Daughter
Enjoy it before it gets cold.
[15:36] Will
Thank you!
[15:39] Will
Earth-Mother Mater,
[15:41] Will
and all the virtuous gods,
[15:43] Will
we give thanks for your grace
as we partake in this meal.
[15:48] Will
Please bless the food before us.
[15:51] Will
Now, then... Cheers.
[15:54] Al
Ch-Cheers.
[16:01] Will
Delicious.
[16:03] Al
It is!
[16:04] Will
So, tell me, why were you here?
[16:07] Al
W-Well... um...
[16:10] Al
I-I just migrated here, and well...
[16:15] Al
I wanted to get my bearings...
you might say... so... um...
[16:19] Al
I was sort of... exploring...
[16:21] Will
I don't think that's such
an odd thing to do.
[16:24] Al
But... all the others in my
clan are keeping busy...
[16:28] Will
You mean Grendir?
[16:31] Will
You don't need to worry about that.
[16:33] Will
I just came from speaking
with him and Agnarr.
[16:39] Al
You are... remarkable.
[16:42] Al
So strong and dependable...
[16:45] Al
Nothing like me at all.
[16:47] Will
Then why don't you try it, too?
[16:49] Al
Huh?
[16:52] Will
You can get a certain degree of
strength by eating well and training.
[16:56] Will
Dependability comes from your conduct
and getting used to things.
[16:59] Will
There must be a reason we met here this way.
[17:01] Will
If you wouldn't mind... I mean, if you want,
[17:05] Will
why don't you help me out as,
say, something like a thane?
[17:10] Al
U-Um, do you really mean...
[17:14] Will
If there's anything you truly long to do,
[17:18] Will
I want to help you do it.
[17:24] Al
I might cause trouble for you, but...
[17:30] Al
Please... let me learn from you!
[17:46] DwarfA
Young master!
[17:48] DwarfA
Where have you been?!
[17:50] DwarfB
When you go somewhere, you must tell us!
[17:52] DwarfA
Regardless, I'm so glad you're safe!
[17:55] Al
I'm sorry...
[17:59] Will
Al has been raised with great care.
[17:59] Dwarfs
We were worried about you!
[18:01] Dwarfs
Do you understand?!
[18:02] Will
Perhaps too great, even.
[18:09] DwarfA
Anyway, you must never do
something like this again!
[18:12] Will
Pardon me.
[18:16] Will
My name is William G. Maryblood.
[18:22] Will
Allow me to apologize.
[18:24] Will
I met Al by chance, but we
happened to hit it off,
[18:27] Will
and I kept him for quite
a long time just to talk.
[18:29] DwarfA
Not at all...
[18:31] DwarfB
That's the paladin?
[18:33] DwarfC
He's dreadfully strong!
[18:35] Ghelreis
He's more than just strong.
[18:37] Ghelreis
He could crush everyone here.
[18:42] Ghelreis
My name is Ghelreis.
[18:44] Ghelreis
I accept the apology you've given
on behalf of our young master.
[18:47] Ghelreis
You have my most humble thanks.
[18:50] Ghelreis
Now... what brings you here?
[18:52] Will
I would like to make Al my thane.
[18:57] DwarfB
You want to make the young master a thane?!
[18:59] DwarfC
But that would mean he'd have to
accompany you on beast hunts!
[19:02] DwarfA
Young master! Being the paladin's
thane is too dangerous!
[19:06] DwarfA
Please give this more thought!
[19:10] Will
What do you want to do?
[19:23] Al
I-I...
[19:25] Al
I want to learn from him!
[19:32] Al
I want to find what a warrior
is, what courage is,
[19:36] Al
with my own two hands!
[19:38] Al
If I never face danger or even
take a single step on my own,
[19:43] Al
what can I know about being a warrior?!
[19:45] Al
What can I know about courage?!
[19:48] Al
Before our ancestral spirits and gods,
[19:52] Al
I want to be someone I won't be ashamed of!
[19:54] Al
If I know nothing of battle, courage,
or conducting myself nobly,
[19:58] Al
how can I call myself a dwarf?!
[20:00] Al
I have no intention of
reversing this decision!
[20:10] Will
Wow...
[20:12] Al
Sir Will!
[20:13] Al
Please accept me as your
thane right here and now!
[20:28] Will
I will guard with my own hands
the loyalty that you offer now.
[20:40] Will
Brief though it was, he has
given me his oath as a thane.
[20:43] Will
Thus, as the knight he serves,
I will hear what you have to say.
[20:48] DwarfA
Our young master will be the
Faraway Paladin's thane...
[20:52] Ghelreis
So it must be.
[20:54] Dwarfs
You're agreeing to this?!
[20:56] Ghelreis
Since he was young, he has
asked no selfish favors of us
[20:58] Ghelreis
out of concern for the
predicament we have lived in.
[21:01] Ghelreis
And this is what he desires.
[21:06] Ghelreis
Young master, I will
explain this to Grendir.
[21:11] Al
Th-Thank you.
[21:13] Ghelreis
However, as of today,
you are as a dead man to me.
[21:19] Al
B-But—
[21:21] Ghelreis
Now that you have entrusted your
loyalty to a great warrior,
[21:24] Ghelreis
you must not, under any circumstances,
value your life above his.
[21:27] Ghelreis
Serve him faithfully,
[21:29] Ghelreis
prepared to die for him without hesitation
if it ever becomes necessary.
[21:35] Ghelreis
Understand?
[21:39] Al
I understand!
[21:42] Ghelreis
Grendir and I will ask after you later.
[21:46] Ghelreis
Take care of our young master.
[21:48] Will
I most certainly will.
[21:56] Will
I look forward to working with you.
[21:59] Al
O-Of course!

Let's talk about your pay.
[00:02] Al
Huh?
[00:03] Will
There's a lot involved with being a thane,
[00:06] Will
but I'll pay you and provide your equipment.
[00:10] Al
I'm...
[00:12] Al
happy just to serve you...
[00:14] Will
Not enough.
[00:16] Will
There's something someone once told
me over and over again, and that is:
[00:20] Will
money is important.
[00:22] Al
Right...
[00:23] Will
If I didn't give you fair compensation,
[00:26] Will
it could be interpreted as saying I
don't value your work, or your loyalty.
[00:32] Will
It may be in bad taste to
put a price on everything,
[00:36] Will
but money is always the clearest indicator.
[00:39] Al
You are quite the grown-up.
[00:44] Will
I'm just trying my hardest to be one.

[02:23] Will
You all right?
[02:25] Al
I'm... just... fine!
[02:28] Will
Great! One more lap, then!
[02:30] Al
R-Right!
[02:38] Will
How hard did Blood, Mary,
and Gus work to come up with ways
[02:43] Will
to instill things in me so efficiently?
[02:47] Will
Last lap! Full strength!
[02:49] Al
Right!
[02:51] Will
Regardless, I'll just keep doing my best
[02:53] Will
so I can catch up to them someday.
[03:08] Will
Good effort.
[03:10] Will
Do some light walking to catch your breath,
[03:12] Will
and then we'll start muscle training.
[03:14] Al
R-Right!
[03:17] Will
Muscles are the most fundamental
aspect of combat.
[03:20] Will
As my master said, the brute
force that muscles give you
[03:23] Will
can solve most problems.
[03:25] Al
Right!
[03:35] Will
Okay, that's enough.
[03:39] Will
That's it for your muscle training.
[03:42] Al
I have to do this... every morning?
[03:44] Will
Of course. We worked on your arms today,
[03:46] Will
but we'll alternate focus on your
legs, back, and other areas.
[03:51] Al
That makes sense...
[03:53] Will
I actually want to do some
practice swings later,
[03:56] Will
to check your footwork and body movements...
[03:58] Al
Uh-huh...
[04:00] Will
But first...
[04:05] Will
I think you've met him before,
[04:07] Will
but this is my friend, Menel.
[04:09] Menel
Hey.
[04:10] Al
H-Hi...
[04:14] Menel
So, uh... I guess...
[04:17] Menel
I'm sorry for scaring you the other day.
[04:22] Al
It's all right.
[04:25] Will
Menel will be joining in your
training sessions from now on.
[04:28] Will
I'll also be asking him to work
with you when I'm not around.
[04:33] Al
R-Right! I appreciate your guidance!
[04:36] Menel
Sure.
[04:38] Will
I need to go attend an assembly.
[04:40] Will
After that, I'm going out to check
on the people we treated before.
[04:44] Will
I'll let you take over now.
[04:45] Menel
Sure.
[04:48] Menel
All right, let's start with practice swings.
[04:51] Al
Right!
[04:54] Owner
I'll be counting on you, then.
[04:56] Ghelreis
No problem. I'll take care of it.
[05:01] Owner
Hey, if it isn't our lord!
[05:03] Ghelreis
Well... hello there.
[05:19] Will
So, what were you doing at that pub?
[05:23] Ghelreis
They were booked for a big
celebration ten days from now,
[05:27] Ghelreis
and they asked me to supply the meat for it.
[05:30] Will
You hunt for a living, then?
[05:33] Ghelreis
No, I work as a mercenary,
[05:35] Ghelreis
but I can handle crossbows
and traps to some extent.
[05:40] Will
So it's like a side job?
[05:42] Ghelreis
Something like that.
[05:47] Kid
Hurry up!
[05:49] Woman
That's right!
[05:51] Dwarf
Hey, watch where you're playing, boys.
[05:53] Kid
Okay!
[05:54] Ghelreis
It's a fine city.
[05:56] Will
Yes.
[05:57] Will
People from many walks of life
worked to make it that way.
[06:04] Ghelreis
You know, paladin...
[06:06] Will
Yes?
[06:08] Ghelreis
I was once a warrior in
service to the Iron Country.
[06:13] Ghelreis
I was inexperienced as a fighter,
[06:16] Ghelreis
so I was not granted the
honor of dying with our king.
[06:22] Ghelreis
To uphold our king's final command,
[06:24] Ghelreis
we took up weapons and worked for
many different employers to get by.
[06:30] Ghelreis
Living in peace and contentment is not easy.
[06:33] Ghelreis
We traveled across many
lands before arriving here.
[06:39] Ghelreis
Please give our young master
the best guidance you can.
[06:46] Will
I will.
[06:50] Will
I swear on her light.
[07:02] Will
Al, is this your full strength?
[07:08] Will
Surely you've got more than this in you!
[07:12] Will
If this is your best...
[07:18] Will
Okay, you lose.
[07:21] Will
Getting used to pain is
another part of training.
[07:25] Al
H-How did you do that move you just did?!
[07:29] Will
The one I just did?
[07:31] Will
Hey, Menel, come here a sec.
[07:34] Menel
So you can experiment on me?
[07:36] Will
He'll understand more easily
if he sees it second-hand.
[07:38] Al
S-Sorry for the trouble!
[07:42] Menel
Damn it...
[07:43] Menel
All right, fine.
[07:45] Menel
But you'd better make it a clean throw!
[07:51] Will
There.
[07:53] Will
This should get Bishop
Bagley to investigate.
[07:59] (Flashback) Holly
The Fire of Black Calamity will
break out in the Rust Mountains.
[08:05] (Flashback) Demon
The dragon is coming!
[08:07] (Flashback) Demon
Valacirca will destroy all!
[08:09] (Flashback) Chimera
Although I detest this dragon power,
you leave me with no choice!
[08:15] Will
Tough scales,
[08:18] Will
a massive body,
[08:21] Will
born with the ability to use Words...
[08:24] Will
The dragon, Valacirca.
[08:28] Will
The dragon's power is
second only to the gods'.
[08:31] Will
When I fought the Echo of a god back then,
[08:35] Will
I nearly died at one point.
[08:37] Will
Things were bad enough with
just an Echo, and now...
[08:42] Will
An Echo and a dragon...
[08:48] Will
I don't like this.
[08:51] Will
I'm scared.
[08:55] Menel
Don't lose your nerve!
[08:57] Menel
Come on! One more round!
[09:00] Menel
Why would you hesitate to attack
when I'm wearing armor?
[09:03] Menel
You're even more naïve than Will!
[09:06] Menel
What's wrong? Giving up already?
[09:09] Menel
Gonna run home with your tail
between your legs, Young Master?
[09:13] Al
I-I'm not done!
[09:22] Menel
You got me right in the head,
and that's the hardest you can hit?
[09:26] Menel
Are those chunky arms just for show? Well?!
[09:29] Menel
Oh, yeah, you're clearly scared now.
[09:32] Menel
Gonna start crying and run away? Are ya?!
[09:35] Al
I-I won't run!
[09:37] Menel
Then keep hitting! Put some
force into it, you weakling!
[09:49] Will
I can always count on Menel.
[10:03] Menel
You actually put some spirit into that one.
[10:06] Menel
Keep it up!
[10:08] Al
Th-Thank you!
[10:11] Will
Incredible...
[10:13] Will
I can see Al getting stronger
with each round of combat.
[10:20] Will
Hey, Blood...
[10:22] Will
Did you ever feel like this, I wonder?
[10:31] Will
Here you go.
[10:33] Al
I don't... know if I can get this down...
[10:37] Will
Your training will go to waste if you don't.
[10:39] Will
Force it down if you have to.
[10:41] Will
You need to take in more food than the
amount you burn through activity.
[10:45] Will
You can take it slow, but eat all of this.
[10:49] Al
O-Okay...
[10:59] Al
Um... Thank you again.
[11:04] Will
For what?
[11:06] Al
For accepting me as your thane,
[11:09] Al
and for training me.
[11:12] Al
You even pay me and give me
food. I'm truly grateful.
[11:19] Al
Um, are you aware of my background?
[11:23] Will
I have a guess... I suppose.
[11:27] Al
I was... well...
[11:30] Al
born of noble blood within my clan.
[11:34] Al
My parents died of illness
while I was young,
[11:37] Al
so the people of my clan shielded
me from all hardships.
[11:41] Will
So it seems.
[11:42] Al
But I wondered if that was
really the right way to live.
[11:46] Al
Should the one who bears responsibility
for his clan be so weak and cowardly?
[11:54] Al
That was when I heard a song about you.
[11:59] Al
I dearly wished that I could be like you.
[12:05] Al
Being able to serve you now
is like a dream come true.
[12:09] Al
I'm so happy I can learn from you
[12:11] Al
what it means to be a warrior,
and what courage is.
[12:16] Will
Thank you.
[12:17] Will
I'll do everything in my power
to be a worthy master for you.
[12:22] Will
But I'm not so sure I can
teach you what courage is.
[12:26] Al
Um...
[12:28] Will
I just mean I don't actually
have that much courage.
[12:31] Al
Even though you faced a
wyvern and a chimera?
[12:36] Will
Al, can facing opponents you know you
can defeat be called courageous?
[12:42] Al
You knew you could defeat them?
[12:45] Will
To give you a frank analysis
of my combat strength...
[12:47] Will
I'm overwhelmingly more powerful
than a wyvern or chimera.
[12:51] Will
I can kill them just using the
movements I was trained in.
[12:55] Will
Wyverns and chimeras don't scare me.
[12:59] Will
Beating opponents you're not
afraid of isn't courage.
[13:04] Al
Then... just what is courage, exactly?
[13:09] Will
I'd like to know the answer to that myself.
[13:15] Will
How can I face an opponent that
I have no hope of defeating?
[13:29] Reystov
I'm back.
[13:32] Will
Reystov!
[13:33] Will
Welcome back. How did it go?
[13:36] Reystov
Nothing seemed particularly out of place.
[13:39] Reystov
Should I report my findings
to Anna, as usual?
[13:42] Will
Yes, please do.
[13:46] Reystov
I had heard you took in a new thane.
[13:57] Reystov
Your back's too hunched.
[13:59] Reystov
Your shoulders fall too far forward.
[14:01] Reystov
It makes you look like a wimp.
[14:03] Reystov
Pull in your chin, straighten your
back, and tighten your lips.
[14:08] Reystov
Don't let your eyes dart around.
[14:10] Reystov
Look at the eyes or mouth of
the one you're speaking to.
[14:13] Al
R-Right!
[14:15] Reystov
Good. That's a bit better.
[14:18] Reystov
I'm Reystov. What's your name?
[14:20] Al
I-It's Al.
[14:22] Al
I see. And what do you think of William?
[14:25] Al
I-I have great respect for him!
[14:27] Al
Then don't do anything to harm
his reputation as your master.
[14:32] Reystov
Keep your back straight and your
eyes facing forward at all times.
[14:36] Al
R-Right!
[14:38] Reystov
When you speak, do so with
confidence, and choose your words.
[14:42] Reystov
If you can't do that,
stay silent. Understand?
[14:45] Al
Yes!
[14:46] Reystov
You don't mind, right?
[14:48] Will
Not at all. I was going to
ask for your help, actually.
[14:51] Reystov
Good to hear.
[14:53] Reystov
You said your name is Al?
[14:55] Reystov
I'll be butting into your training a bit.
[14:58] Al
Right!
[15:00] Will
Oh, right. Reystov...
[15:04] Reystov
Yes?
[15:05] Will
What do you think courage is?
[15:10] Reystov
I don't know what you're thinking about,
[15:13] Reystov
but as long as you're thinking
like that, you'll never know.
[15:17] Will
Yeah, you're right.
[15:20] Will
I kept an eye on the Rust
Mountains for a while,
[15:23] Will
but throughout summer and fall,
they were as peaceful as could be.
[15:26] Will
Just as the Lord of Holly promised,
[15:29] Will
the forest was plentiful,
which made everyone happy.
[15:32] Will
They even held a festival when the
time came for the wheat harvest.
[15:37] Will
My third winter in
Torch Port was drawing near.
[15:46] Will
Well done.
[15:47] Will
That was very good.
[15:49] Al
Th-Thank you!
[15:54] Anna
My lord! My lord!
[16:02] Will
Sightings of undead were reported?
[16:04] Anna
I'm sorry this always happens.
[16:06] Will
It's all right. I give priority
to matters involving undead.
[16:11] Anna
What shall we do this time?
[16:14] Will
Good question...
[16:17] Will
Al, I'm going to go handle
this matter myself.
[16:21] Will
Would you come with me?
[16:22] Al
Y-Yes! I would be honored to accompany you!
[16:37] Will
I've heard dwarf eyes can
see even in darkness,
[16:41] Will
but try not to rely too
heavily on your sight.
[16:43] Al
R-Right!
[16:44] Will
Let's review. Where are we headed?
[16:47] Al
To... Pillar Mound... in the west, right?
[16:50] Will
It's where the most recent
sighting was reported,
[16:53] Will
but it's deep in the forest
and hasn't been explored yet.
[16:56] Al
Right.
[16:58] Will
The main reason is the fog.
[17:00] Will
Though no one knows if it's due to the
geography or a magical barrier...
[17:05] Will
Let's proceed with caution.
[17:07] Al
Right.
[17:17] Al
I-It's very eerie, isn't it?
[17:21] Will
But also... magnificent.
[17:35] Alu
Sir Will?
[17:36] Will
It's all right.
[17:38] Will
Take a good look.
[17:42] Al
What is it?
[17:43] Will
A grave keeper, perhaps.
[17:45] Al
Grave keeper?
[17:47] Will
This is a burial site.
[17:49] Al
It's a burial site?
[17:52] Will
He's probably here to
scare off grave robbers.
[17:56] Will
And the fog is probably
either a magical barrier
[17:58] Will
or a contract with the land spirits.
[18:01] Will
This place was probably created as a place
of rest for loved ones who went on before.
[18:12] Will
Please rest in peace.
[18:27] Al
Um... So where was the undead, then?
[18:32] Will
Considering this is a burial site,
[18:34] Will
I'm beginning to think there's a good
chance someone was just seeing things.
[18:37] Al
But I would think undead are more
likely to show up at burial sites.
[18:41] Will
Why? They all received proper burials.
[18:44] Al
Huh?
[18:45] Will
It's people who have been
killed and then concealed,
[18:47] Will
or bodies left out in the open,
[18:49] Will
who tend to receive the god
of undead's blessing.
[18:52] Will
Even the god of undead
is kind, in his own way.
[18:56] Al
The god of undead... is kind?
[18:59] Will
He is kind. Terribly kind.
[19:02] Al
Um... What do you mean by that?
[19:06] Will
The god of undead, Stagnate,
[19:08] Will
can't bear to see people die
miserable, hopeless deaths.
[19:12] Will
So he grants all dying creatures the
right to overturn tragic deaths.
[19:18] Al
But, um...
[19:20] Will
Naturally, that kind of blessing
is a real inconvenience to others.
[19:25] Will
But still, he believes from
the bottom of his heart
[19:29] Will
that no one should have to die in misery,
[19:33] Will
and if they do, they can overturn their
death with the radiance of their soul.
[19:37] Al
Um, Sir Will... You, uh, seem to
know quite a lot about this...
[19:42] Al
An Echo of Stagnate...
[19:45] Al
Surely you've never met one of those, right?
[19:48] Al
Have you had an encounter
with a Herald, perhaps?
[19:53] Al
Wh-Why won't you look at me?!
[19:55] Will
Well, I mean... How do I put it...
[19:59] Al
Don't just laugh!
[20:03] Will
It really looks like someone
was just seeing things.
[20:06] Al
S-So our search was all in vain, then?
[20:11] Will
Is that...
[20:13] Will
Al, this way.
[20:18] Al
Is it an entrance to the
interior of the mound?
[20:22] Will
Let's check it out.
[20:23] Al
Right.
[20:28] Al
I don't see anything.
[20:32] Will
Lumen.
SIGN Light
SIGN Burn, Flames
[20:34] Will
Flammo Ignis.
[20:37] Will
Al, carry this one.
[20:40] Al
Okay.
[20:41] Al
Why did you use two types of light?
[20:44] Will
When you go up against an
opponent with no night vision,
[20:47] Will
what do you target first?
[20:50] Will
Right.
[20:52] Will
Well, shall we go?
[20:53] Al
Yes.
[21:17] Al
Is this the innermost chamber?
[21:19] Will
Yeah. Beyond here...
[21:36] Will
No!
[21:37] Will
This is...
[21:48] Stagnate
Welcome to my temporary dwelling place.
[21:52] Stagnate
Has it really been two years,
[21:54] Stagnate
warrior of the light?

[01:30] Stagnate
Has it really been two years,
[01:32] Stagnate
warrior of the light?
[01:35] Will
Stagnate...
[01:36] Al
The god of the undead?
[01:38] Will
Defending isn't an option here.
[01:41] Will
We have to—
[01:41] Stagnate
Now, wait just a minute.
[01:43] Stagnate
If you intend to fight, you two will win.
[01:46] Stagnate
I'm not an Echo today, after all.
[01:51] Will
A Herald?
[01:53] Stagnate
Very astute.
[01:55] Stagnate
Thanks to the utter thrashing
you gave me last time,
[01:58] Stagnate
it's unlikely I'll be able to send
an Echo to this world for a while,
[02:02] Stagnate
no matter how hard I try.
[02:04] Will
Heralds...
[02:06] Will
Messengers of the gods
that convey their will.
[02:08] Stagnate
I had no choice but to send a Herald...
[02:11] Will
Enjoying a little fishing?
[02:13] Stagnate
Again, very astute.
[02:15] Stagnate
You are as sharp as ever, I see.
[02:18] Will
They knew if they tossed enough bait
for the undead around here,
[02:22] Will
there was a good chance I'd bite.
[02:25] Will
That's despicable.
[02:27] Stagnate
Regular fishing is despicable, too,
from the fish's point of view.
[02:31] Stagnate
But that's just how gods are.
[02:35] Will
You don't appear to be seeking
revenge for last time.
[02:40] Stagnate
First, let me apologize.
[02:42] Will
Apologize?
[02:44] Stagnate
The Echo you faced last time behaved
shamefully in its dying moments.
[02:48] Stagnate
For that, I am deeply ashamed.
[02:51] Stagnate
Newborn Echos tend to be very emotional,
rash, and generally infantile.
[02:58] Stagnate
Still, that is no excuse.
[03:00] Al
Th-The god of the undead is apologizing?
[03:03] Stagnate
Young dwarf, that strong warrior
you're with killed me.
[03:09] Stagnate
All that stabbing and being stabbed...
[03:11] Stagnate
What a fiery night that was.
[03:14] Will
I wasn't aware that gods
had a fondness for jokes.
[03:17] Will
Just tell me what it is you want.
[03:19] Stagnate
Oh, you're no fun.
[03:21] Stagnate
Would it kill you to humor
me while I chat a little?
[03:25] Will
This god can speak the Words.
That's what makes them so dangerous.
[03:29] Stagnate
Brave warrior who defeated me,
Paladin of the Light...
[03:34] Stagnate
This is my revelation.
[03:42] Al
Sir Will!
[03:44] Stagnate
William, armed with the blessing of
light, you will face the dragon...
[03:49] Stagnate
and you will die in defeat.
[03:54] Stagnate
If you do not wish to die in vain,
[03:56] Stagnate
do not fight the Gods' Sickle,
the evil dragon Valacirca.
[04:00] Stagnate
If you do not believe me,
[04:02] Stagnate
feel free to ask the goddess Gracefeel.
[04:06] Will
Why are you telling me this?
[04:09] Stagnate
Because you proved that you have
what it takes to be a hero.
[04:13] Stagnate
I love humans,
[04:16] Stagnate
and I am especially partial to heroes.
[04:19] Stagnate
I find the radiance of their
souls to be truly beautiful.
[04:23] Stagnate
That is exactly why I desire
undeath and eternity for them.
[04:27] Stagnate
I cannot bear to see souls dragged
down by the fools of this world
[04:30] Stagnate
so that they lose their radiance
among bitterness and regret,
[04:33] Stagnate
and I would hate to see you killed by the
likes of a vulgar beast like Valacirca.
[04:39] Will
Vulgar?
[04:40] Stagnate
In the age of myth, when I was
still on the side of good,
[04:45] Stagnate
I met him once—
[04:47] Stagnate
the Gods' Sickle, the evil dragon Valacirca.
[04:51] Stagnate
He fought not for any beliefs,
[04:53] Stagnate
but for the sake of victory and plunder.
[04:57] Will
I'm surprised the virtuous
gods employed him.
[05:00] Stagnate
If a mercenary is not on your side,
he will end up on your enemy's side.
[05:05] Stagnate
After that, I betrayed the virtuous
gods for the sake of my beliefs.
[05:10] Stagnate
Many battles were fought,
[05:12] Stagnate
and many of the old gods left this world.
[05:16] Will
It's the same myth Gus told me.
[05:19] Stagnate
But he was different.
[05:21] Al
Do you mean...
[05:22] Al
he is a remnant of the age of the gods?
[05:26] Stagnate
Precisely. And he remained a mercenary...
[05:30] Stagnate
including during the great uprising
led by the demons from the abyss.
[05:36] Will
The Great Cataclysm of
two hundred years ago...
[05:39] Will
The end of the Union Age.
[05:41] Stagnate
He was hired by the demon army,
[05:43] Stagnate
caused the fall of the Rust Mountains,
[05:46] Stagnate
and then fell asleep.
[05:48] Stagnate
His battle wounds were too severe.
[05:50] Al
W-Wait a moment!
[05:52] Al
Did you say "battle wounds"? My ancestors...
[05:56] Stagnate
Ah, of course. You are a survivor
of the mountain people?
[06:00] Al
Y-Yes.
[06:03] Stagnate
Well, well! Perhaps there really
is such a thing as fate!
[06:08] Stagnate
Very well, then.
[06:09] Stagnate
Descendant of the Iron Country,
[06:12] Stagnate
I, Stagnate, God of Undead,
shall tell you the truth:
[06:16] Stagnate
that the king of the Iron Mountains,
Aurvangr, was a true hero!
[06:23] Stagnate
You should be proud.
[06:24] Stagnate
The famed sword handed down through
the generations, Calldawn,
[06:27] Stagnate
took an eye from the evil dragon
that survives from the age of gods!
[06:31] Al
I-Is that true?
[06:33] Stagnate
How exhilarating it was!
He was truly a great hero!
[06:40] Al
I'm so glad...
[06:42] Al
I'm so glad...
[06:45] Will
I wouldn't have expected such
kindness from an evil god.
[06:48] Will
But this is a god who distorts the rules
of life and death and brings disaster
[06:52] Will
because their emotions lead them to.
[06:54] Stagnate
William...
[06:56] Stagnate
In time, you may surpass even
Aurvangr's great achievements
[07:00] Stagnate
and succeed in slaying Valacirca.
[07:02] Stagnate
But now is not that time.
[07:12] Stagnate
The dragon's sleep grows shallow.
[07:16] Stagnate
The dragon has just given
us a show of his power.
[07:20] Stagnate
Go home at once. Chaos is imminent.
[07:42] Will
Al!
[07:51] Stagnate
This is the cry of the dragon...
[07:54] Stagnate
The Dragon Roar.
[08:01] Will
The overwhelming might of a ruler,
striking fear into all living things...
[08:12] Stagnate
Something troublesome is
coming along with it.
[08:15] Stagnate
Even you will likely
struggle a bit with this.
[08:30] Al
A g-giant?!
[08:32] Will
That's a forest giant!
[08:34] Will
They're normally a mild-mannered race!
[08:37] Stagnate
He's been hit by the Dragon Roar.
He is not in his right mind.
[08:41] Stagnate
What will you do? Kill him?
[08:44] Will
Of course not.
[08:45] Will
The brute force that well-trained
muscles give you
[08:48] Will
can solve most problems, you know!
[08:51] Al
Sir Will!
[08:58] Will
This is nothing!
[09:08] Al
H-He just...
[09:11] Stagnate
...flung a giant, yes.
[09:14] Will
Shine the light of reason
upon the fog of confusion.
[09:21] Gangr
I'm awful sorry about that.
[09:25] Will
Can you make it home?
[09:26] Gangr
I think so.
SIGN I speak... giant language...
SIGN little bit.
SIGN You do? Well, that's great!
[09:36] Will
Uh...
SIGN Dragon... roaring... dangerous.
[09:41] Gangr
Yeah, it sure is scary, but...
SIGN I must return to my clan.
SIGN I will move to a safer place after that.
[09:55] Gangr
I am Gangr of the Jotunn.
SIGN William, hero of man, I will never forget this debt.
[10:07] Al
This is the first time
I've ever seen a giant.
[10:11] Will
Me, too.
[10:12] Al
Yet you can speak their language?
[10:14] Will
My magic teacher had immense
knowledge and an amazing memory.
[10:18] Stagnate
You saw it.
[10:20] Stagnate
That is the power of the ancient
dragon that even the demons fear.
[10:24] Stagnate
Should he awaken and seek another uprising,
[10:27] Stagnate
you will have no choice but to defeat
him, but you won't be enough.
[10:32] Will
So I'm supposed to accept
sacrifices for the cause?
[10:34] Will
Even if you're my enemy, that doesn't
seem like something you'd say.
[10:38] Stagnate
A thousand lives cannot take
the place of ten thousand.
[10:41] Stagnate
As infuriating as it is,
[10:43] Stagnate
so long as you live, more people can
be saved, so there is no choice.
[10:48] Stagnate
Think long and hard on it,
[10:51] Stagnate
bringer of the light... the Faraway Paladin.
[10:55] Stagnate
Farewell. We will meet again.
[10:59] Al
They seem partial to you.
[11:02] Will
They had their eye on me, that's all.
[11:04] Al
They say the gods wish for heroes.
[11:07] Al
That they send proxies to the living
world to make their divine will known.
[11:12] Al
You are the hero who symbolizes the
goddess of light. Is that why...
[11:16] Will
The god of undead wants me
to feel indebted to them.
[11:20] Al
What do you plan to do from here?
[11:24] Will
Good question...
[11:26] Will
I wonder what I should do...
[11:30] Will
The Dragon Roar caused great
damage throughout Beast Woods.
[11:35] Will
In order to take in people
who lost their homes,
[11:38] Will
treat the injured,
[11:40] Will
and subjugate the demons
now running rampant,
[11:42] Will
I sent out adventurers all over the place.
[11:45] Will
If the dragon were to awaken
and fly this way on a whim,
[11:49] Will
it would destroy not only Torch Port,
but likely Whitesails, as well.
[11:54] Bagley
There's no doubt about it.
[11:55] Bagley
The evil dragon is accompanied
by high-ranking demons.
[11:59] Bagley
I sincerely doubt you can
defeat them on your own.
[12:02] Will
Of course...
[12:06] Bagley
There's nothing shameful about running away.
[12:11] Will
You said that under the assumption that
I'd be the one going, right, Bishop?
[12:22] Will
Goddess...
[12:24] Will
If you would only tell me that
there's a way for me to win,
[12:28] Will
or if you told me to fight,
even if I couldn't win...
[12:31] Will
If you ordered me to prove my
righteousness, I'm sure I...
[12:36] Will
Back when I couldn't move forward,
when I was mired in frustration,
[12:40] Will
when time was just passing
me by as I sat idle...
[12:44] Will
I was reborn, raised with love,
[12:47] Will
respected and acknowledged,
[12:49] Will
and regarded as the central
figure among my peers.
[12:56] Menel
I'm coming in.
[13:02] Menel
Wrestling with yourself again?
[13:04] Will
Yeah.
[13:06] Menel
So that's why you didn't notice.
[13:08] Menel
Look outside. We've got a bit of trouble.
[13:11] Will
Huh?
[13:18] Old DwarfF
We want to know your intentions, paladin!
[13:20] Old DwarfE
Are you going to slay the dragon?
[13:23] Al
What is the purpose of asking him that?!
[13:26] Old DwarfC
Failure to slay the dragon is a
sin that falls upon us dwarfs!
[13:29] Old DwarfD
If you intend to slay it,
let us accompany you!
[13:33] Al
Stop this! The dragon is a formidable foe!
[13:35] Al
The paladin is trying
to come up with a plan!
[13:39] Old DwarfA
I don't know what he's ordered you to do,
[13:41] Old DwarfA
but stop trying to buy him time!
[13:44] Al
He hasn't ordered me to do anything!
[13:46] Al
I'm telling all of you not to panic!
[13:48] Old DwarfB
Did you say "panic"?!
[13:50] Al
Even if we all banded together, we couldn't
even leave a mark on the dragon!
[13:55] Old DwarfA
I'm going in there!
[13:57] Al
I'm telling you to stop!
[14:04] Al
You... All of you are too
old to even defeat me now!
[14:09] Al
I don't want to see you all die in vain!
[14:12] Grendir
Young Master.
[14:14] Al
Grendir...
[14:16] Grendir
You have grown well.
[14:19] Grendir
However... However, that is
precisely why I... why we...
[14:27] Grendir
wish to die.
[14:31] Grendir
We wanted to die by our king's side.
[14:39] Grendir
But we were not permitted to.
We had to abandon our pride.
[14:42] Grendir
These two hundred years of miserable
wandering have been so long.
[14:47] Grendir
Surely that is enough.
We have done more than our share.
[14:52] Grendir
We have persisted in
believing that, and now...
[14:55] Grendir
At long last, we have learned
that the loathsome dragon lives!
[15:00] Grendir
What is so wrong with wishing
[15:02] Grendir
for the continuation of that day,
that we may die fighting?!
[15:06] Grendir
Let me through! I will ask the
paladin what he intends to do!
[15:10] Al
I will not!
[15:12] Al
Grendir!
[15:27] Al
You ask what's so wrong
with that wish, Grendir?
[15:31] Al
All of you are already so fixated on dying
[15:34] Al
that you aren't even thinking of winning.
[15:37] Al
And that won't do.
[15:39] Al
You know that won't do.
[15:42] Al
The proud warriors of the mountain
only throw down their lives
[15:45] Al
for the sake of victory!
[15:48] Al
It was all of you who taught me that!
[15:51] Olf DwarfD
Young Master...
[15:52] Olf DwarfB
Young Master...
[15:53] Olf DwarfC
Young Master...
[15:54] Al
I promise you that the paladin
will make his decision!
[15:58] Al
And when he does, I will
be there by his side
[16:01] Al
to win back the dwarfs' honor!
[16:05] Al
I swear on the name of Aurvangr,
the last king of the Iron Country!
[16:10] Al
As his grandson, I, Vindalfr,
[16:13] Al
will take back the mountains
that belonged to my ancestors!
[16:19] Menel
He's pretty valiant, huh?
[16:22] Will
Yeah.
[16:23] Menel
He can't afford to lose.
[16:25] Will
Yeah.
[16:26] Menel
You usually never think about pros and cons
[16:30] Menel
or whether or not you can
actually win, do you?
[16:35] Menel
So that's how you should be now, too.
[16:49] Will
I will slay the dragon.
[16:52] Will
I've made up my mind to slay the dragon.
[16:55] Will
Al... Vindalfr.
[16:57] Will
I commend your proclamation that you'll
reclaim your ancestors' mountains.
[17:01] Will
Will you accompany me?
[17:03] Al
I had faith that you would ask me to!
[17:07] Al
With pleasure!
[17:08] Menel
You sure you want to agree that quickly?
[17:10] Al
You ask that, but I know you had every
intention of following him yourself.
[17:15] Menel
Hey, you've grown a spine, I see.
[17:18] Menel
We're up against a dragon.
Numbers won't help.
[17:22] Menel
We can't spare a lot of the
city's defenses, either.
[17:25] Menel
So there's me, you, and Will,
[17:28] Menel
and we'll need a guide who knew
the mountains 200 years ago.
[17:31] Grendir
I will—
[17:32] Ghelreis
No, I will go.
[17:35] Ghelreis
This is no job for a man who wants to die.
[17:37] Ghelreis
Besides, you have an obligation
to keep our people united.
[17:42] Ghelreis
I shall be your guide.
[17:45] Will
Ghelreis! I appreciate it!
[17:49] Reystov
And then there's me.
[17:51] Will
Reystov?
[17:53] Reystov
I came to see what the
big crowd was all about.
[17:57] Will
You're as sharp as ever.
[17:59] Menel
So we're five men picking a fight
with demons and an evil dragon.
[18:04] Menel
Do we have a chance?
[18:06] Will
No.
[18:08] Will
There's no surefire method
for killing a dragon.
[18:12] Will
We'll be at a disadvantage.
[18:13] Will
Will you still accompany me?
[18:16] Al
Yes!
[18:17] Reystov
That's exactly where glory and honor lie.
[18:20] Ghelreis
That is a warrior's true worth.
[18:22] Menel
I'm used to having to go
along with your crazy ideas.
[18:26] Will
Let's go slay a dragon and
take back the mountains!
[18:36] Anna
So you're going?
[18:40] Reystov
Yeah.
[18:41] Anna
Please... Please, be safe.
[18:51] Bee
I'm here!
[18:53] Will
Bee!
[18:55] Bee
You're going to slay a dragon, right?
[18:57] Will
Yeah.
[18:58] Bee
Then I can write a song about it,
like I promised, right?
[19:02] Will
Of course!
[19:04] Bee
I get to write a new dragon-slaying saga!
[19:07] Bee
It's a troubadour's dream!
[19:10] Bee
I'll start by spreading
the prequel far and wide.
[19:13] Bee
You need that, right?
[19:14] Will
Yeah, definitely. Thank you.
[19:18] Bee
But don't give me a sad ending, you hear?
[19:20] Will
I'll try my best not to.
[19:23] Bee
Yes, do that! Nobody likes
tragic twists anymore!
[19:31] Tonio
Please don't leave me behind...
[19:34] Bee
Sorry about that!
[19:36] Tonio
I've secured the supplies
I figured you would need.
[19:40] Will
You determined so quickly that I'd be going?
[19:43] Tonio
Yes, and I was still anxious that I
might not reach you before you left.
[19:48] Will
I was just hesitating for a while.
[19:49] Bee
I'll write in your song that you were
just waiting for the right time!
[19:53] Bee
That sounds cooler, right?
[19:55] Will
You exaggerating like that is
[19:56] Will
what makes Sir William look more and
more like some incredible strategist!
[20:02] Will
I hesitate just like anyone else.
[20:05] Will
I don't want to die, and I don't like pain.
[20:08] Bee
But you're still going, right?
[20:09] Will
Yes.
[20:11] Will
The vow I made to the goddess
was just that important.
[20:13] Bee
I'll be using that line in
my song, just so you know!
[20:17] Bee
Pious warrior, devoted to his
goddess, and hero of the light!
[20:21] Bee
May the wind of fortune
be ever at your back!
[20:26] Tonio
Will, I won't tell you not to
be reckless or try too hard.
[20:29] Tonio
I know now is the time
when this must be done.
[20:32] Tonio
If there are any other supplies
you need, please let me know.
[20:37] Will
In that case, there's one big
thing I'd like to ask for...
[20:56] Gracefeel
You are going, then?
[21:00] Gracefeel
I do not wish to see you die.
[21:03] Will
I am honored. Thank you.
[21:06] Gracefeel
You still insist on going?
[21:09] Gracefeel
In order to keep your promise to me?
[21:12] Will
Yes.
[21:13] Gracefeel
Then I cannot say your
decision defies my will.
[21:17] Gracefeel
That promise is shared by
the two of us, after all.
[21:22] Gracefeel
Kneel.
[21:30] Gracefeel
I command you, William...
[21:34] Gracefeel
Do not fear. I am with you at all times.
[21:39] Gracefeel
I am your goddess.
[21:41] Gracefeel
I will strengthen you,
aid you, and protect you.
[21:46] Gracefeel
Go. Slay the dragon,
and fulfill your promise,
[21:50] Gracefeel
my knight.
[21:58] Will
On your light.

[02:13] Tonio
I arranged the thing you asked for.
[02:18] Will
Thank you.
[02:20] Tonio
Well, then, take care.
[02:22] Will
I will.
[02:23] DwarfA
Young Master, I wish you well!
[02:25] DwarfB
Our spirits are with you!
[02:27] Al
Right!
[02:34] Anna
I will be awaiting your return.
[02:39] Bee
Oh, come on! Can't you even be a
little sociable at a time like this?
[02:45] Menel
Well, y'know...
[02:46] Menel
Look forward to the stories I'll bring back.
[02:52] Will
All right, we'll be going now.
[02:55] Bee
Time for the heroes to take off!
[03:24] Will
We'll disembark here.
[03:26] Al
Huh?
[03:37] Marcus
Okay, we'll take it from here.
[03:40] Will
Yes, as we discussed earlier, please.
[03:43] Marcus
Yep.
[03:44] Marcus
We'll be counting on your continued
favor after this, too.
[03:48] Will
Of course.
[03:50] Marcus
Keep it together.
[03:51] Reystov
Yeah.
[03:57] Al
Um... who was that?
[04:00] Al
And why did we get off the boat here?
[04:03] Al
Shouldn't we have gained
a bit more distance?
[04:06] Will
After that grand start
to our voyage downriver,
[04:09] Will
the demons will be on the move, too.
[04:12] Will
While Marcus and his group act as
our body doubles to confuse them,
[04:17] Will
we'll go upriver.
[04:19] Menel
When did you...
[04:21] Will
I had Tonio arrange it for us.
[04:24] Will
Marcus and his group, too.
[04:26] Menel
So that's what you did.
[04:29] Will
I checked with the dwarfs, too.
[04:31] Will
Once we enter the tributary upriver,
[04:33] Will
we'll be able to reach the
mountains from the other side.
[04:36] Will
While the demons are lying
in wait at the front door,
[04:39] Will
we'll kick down the back
door and enter by force.
[04:43] Menel
Sylphs, sylphs, put the wind at our backs,
[04:46] Menel
to accompany us as we make our way.
[04:56] Menel
I put Conceal and Silence on us,
[04:58] Menel
so we won't be found easily.
[05:00] Will
At this speed, we should
be there by morning.
[05:14] Menel
Calm down. He always does stuff like
this as if it's totally natural.
[05:18] Al
No, it's... If you go even
farther south than Torch Port,
[05:22] Al
there's a lakeside town that the
High King took over, and it's very dangerous.
[05:27] Al
I heard that even veteran adventurers are
helpless amid the swirling mists of magic.
[05:32] Al
The suggestion that we break through that
[05:34] Al
is an incredible idea
and remarkably courageous!
[05:39] Will
Actually...
[05:42] Will
That's where I grew up.
[05:44] Menel
What?!
[05:49] Al
So the Three Heroes still
lived there as undead?
[05:54] Menel
And is that stuff about the god of
the undead for real? Gimme a break.
[05:58] Will
I mean, I don't think we'll
be attacked or anything.
[06:01] Menel
Damn, I can't believe you
never told me. Some friend.
[06:04] Will
Sorry.
[06:05] Menel
Oh, that's right.
[06:07] Menel
You did cry when you heard that
song about the Three Heroes.
[06:10] Will
I-I didn't cry!
[06:17] Ghelreis
This is the Maze Fog, isn't it?
[06:20] Will
Yes. It's my grandfather's magic.
[06:23] Reystov
The higher version of the Maze Alley
magic that protects the Academy?
[06:28] Reystov
I'd heard rumors, but this
is my first time seeing it.
[06:31] Menel
That makes it top-ranked magic, then!
[06:33] Menel
So a human who'll only live a few decades
can learn this and put it to use?
[06:37] Menel
For real?
[06:38] Will
For real.
[06:39] Will
He'll even whip out the
Words of Obliteration in battle.
[06:43] Menel
What?!
[06:44] Will
Hang on. I'll create a path through this.
[06:50] Will
That's so like Gus.
[06:56] Will
This Word goes here, and...
[06:59] Will
Knowing Gus, this will be set up here...

And this... is a trap.

Thanks!

No... It couldn't be...

Carelessness is the greatest enemy, boy!

Will...
[09:25] Gus
Did you make a ton of money?!
[09:27] Will
That's the first thing you say to me?!
[09:28] Will
Shouldn't it be, "You're actually alive?"
or something?!
[09:31] Gus
I know the boy Blood, Mary,
and I raised wouldn't die that easily.
[09:36] Gus
I wasn't even worried.
[09:37] Will
Yes, yes! I'm getting good,
meaningful use out of my money!
[09:41] Will
I'm the lord of the entire
downstream region now!
[09:44] Gus
A lord, you say?
[09:46] Gus
I get it.
[09:48] Will
What?
[09:48] Gus
You were taken in by some
nobleman's widow. You poor thing.
[09:53] Will
Why would you assume that?!
[09:54] Will
I earned it through my own strength!
[09:57] Will
I'm quite a famous paladin now, in fact!
[09:59] Gus
Hm... I'm impressed you got so far in
so little time, at such a young age,
[10:04] Gus
and with no connections.
[10:06] Gus
And? What of your love life?
[10:10] Will
I... uh...
[10:12] Gus
Wussing out, are you?
[10:15] Gus
Oh, and I so wanted to meet my
great-grandchild before moving on in the cycle!
[10:21] Gus
Why did my grandson have to be a wuss
who can't even win over a single woman?
[10:25] Will
I-I'm not a wuss!
[10:26] Gus
Shouldn't something happen
if you're out adventuring?
[10:29] Gus
Like you save a strong-willed
girl disguised as a bandit,
[10:33] Gus
or you help out a peddler girl
who's running from guards?
[10:38] Gus
What's that look for?
[10:40] Will
I did...
[10:41] Will
and they were all guys.
[10:51] Gus
Yes, I'm so glad you've come home, Will.
[11:02] Gus
The dragon?!
[11:04] Gus
You're going to fight
the Calamity's Sickle?!
[11:07] Will
It's the only way.
[11:08] Gus
Are you planning to try to finagle him?!
[11:11] Will
F-Finagle him?
[11:12] Gus
The gods hired Valacirca to
work for them, didn't they?
[11:16] Gus
Which means there's a chance you can
resolve everything with money and goods!
[11:19] Menel
Oh, yeah. I remember hearing
ideas like that before.
[11:21] Gus
How disappointing! After all the times
I told you bargaining is crucial!
[11:23] Al
What a coincidence, Sir Menel.
I remember, as well.
[11:26] Ghelreis
Mm.
[11:27] Reystov
Yeah...
[11:28] Gus
I'm just saying, there's no need to limit
yourself to just one possible solution.
[11:33] Gus
Always be flexible with your ideas!
[11:36] Gus
Don't let your focus get too narrow!
[11:38] Will
Okay.
[11:42] Gus
Now, then...
[11:44] Gus
Friends of my grandson, allow me to
extend to you my warmest welcome.
[11:50] Gus
Make yourselves at home while you are here.
[11:56] Ghelreis
I never thought I would see you again.
[11:59] Gus
Oh? And where have we met before?
[12:02] Ghelreis
I am the soldier the three of you saved
after I fled the mountains 200 years ago.
[12:08] Ghelreis
I had no idea you were the
renowned Wandering Sage.
[12:13] Gus
Ah, that inexperienced,
injured soldier was you?
[12:17] Gus
You have aged.
[12:21] Ghelreis
Indeed. I have aged.
[12:24] Ghelreis
Thanks to you, I lived to serve a new ruler,
[12:28] Ghelreis
and am able to walk the same path
as your grandson, Sir William.
[12:34] Gus
How serendipitous.
[13:00] Menel
Hey. I'm coming in.
[13:03] Menel
Was this your room?
[13:05] Will
Yeah.
[13:09] Menel
Y'know... that Gus guy is really something.
[13:13] Will
I thought you'd say he was more
low-brow than you expected.
[13:16] Menel
I mean... he is, but... it's more like...
[13:22] Menel
When he showed me to your room,
[13:24] Menel
I felt like he could see
everything about me.
[13:28] Will
Yeah. He's amazing, huh?
[13:30] Will
I'm proud to call him my grandpa.
[13:33] Menel
Cool.
[13:36] Menel
Also...
[13:37] Menel
He asked me, "Oh, are you the bandit girl?"
[13:40] Menel
What did he mean?
[13:48] Will
Gus, got a minute?
[13:52] Gus
You want to know about Valacirca?
[13:54] Will
Yeah.
[13:55] Gus
The evil dragon Valacirca...
[13:58] Gus
I've never seen him with
my own eyes, either.
[14:01] Will
I see...
[14:02] Gus
I would have liked to try bargaining
with him if I had a chance.
[14:06] Gus
Had he not been employed by the demons,
[14:09] Gus
all those heroic lives would
never have been lost.
[14:14] Gus
If you do intend to fight him,
you'll want to aim for his old wounds.
[14:18] Gus
Dragon scales are tough.
[14:20] Gus
I doubt even Blood could cut
through them to his flesh.
[14:25] Will
What about the Words of Obliteration?
[14:27] Gus
Only if they land successfully.
[14:29] Will
I thought so.
[14:37] Gus
Do you know why the true dragons
of old could fly so quickly,
[14:41] Gus
despite their enormous size?
[14:44] Will
Because Words race through the air.
[14:46] Gus
Exactly.
[14:48] Gus
The dragons of old dwell within myths.
[14:51] Gus
They are far closer to the Words
than those of us who live today.
[14:55] Gus
If it comes down to a battle
of magic, you will lose.
[14:59] Will
So I'm at a disadvantage
in a magic battle...
[15:01] Gus
His constitution and the physical
strength and hardiness it gives him
[15:06] Gus
are no joke, either.
[15:09] Gus
You would be at a disadvantage
in close combat, as well.
[15:13] Gus
To phrase it like Blood would,
he's got you beat in muscle.
[15:16] Gus
The typical strategy for slaying
a dragon is an ambush,
[15:19] Gus
but Valacirca is likely using
the demons as a warning system.
[15:22] Will
I'm starting to see why the god
of the undead tried to stop me.
[15:26] Gus
Stagnate, eh?
[15:28] Gus
Did a Herald come to you?
[15:29] Will
It was a crow.
[15:31] Gus
Hah! Sounds like you've got an admirer.
[15:33] Will
Much as I hate to agree...
[15:35] Gus
Stagnate thinks the way gods think.
There's no keeping up with them.
[15:39] Gus
And talk about being overly friendly
for a god! And impertinent to boot!
[15:46] Gus
I must admit I am somewhat grateful, though.
[15:51] Gus
Stagnate gave me the opportunity to live
as an undead and continue raising you,
[15:55] Gus
and allowed Blood and Mary to die happy.
[16:06] Gus
Say... Did you know?
[16:09] Gus
Yeah. That's why I came alone.
[16:13] Will
I have basically no way to
bargain with the dragon.
[16:21] Gus
Will, you are going to die.
[16:23] Will
I made up my mind to fight anyway.
[16:26] Will
If the dragon is left alone,
there'll be chaos.
[16:30] Gus
Could you not just run away?
[16:34] Will
Gus...
[16:35] Will
Being alive and not being
dead aren't the same thing.
[16:46] Gus
Well, I suppose there's nothing I can say.
[16:50] Will
Oh, yeah.
[16:51] Will
There's something I've
been wanting to ask you.
[16:53] Will
I heard the tale of how you
three killed the wyvern.
[16:57] Gus
Oh?
[16:58] Will
Do you remember the boy and
half-elf girl you lent money to?
[17:02] Gus
Oh, that brings back memories!
Of course I do!
[17:06] Will
They were promoted to the nobility,
[17:08] Will
and the old half-elf lady is still
waiting for you to this day.
[17:11] Will
Mind if I collect the debt
she owes in your place?
[17:14] Gus
Well, getting one's money
is important, after all!
[17:18] Gus
Can't do that if you're dead!
[17:20] Will
And when you borrow something,
you have to return it.
[17:23] Gus
Fine by me, then.
[17:25] Gus
If you're going to collect that debt for me,
[17:28] Gus
I can't just sit around and let you die.
[17:32] Gus
The equipment used by the comrades who
battled the High King still rests in this city.
[17:38] Gus
Why not refurbish it for
yourself and your companions?
[17:48] Will
In here?
[17:49] Gus
Erasus.
SIGN Erasure
[17:55] Will
Delusion magic?
I didn't know there was a door here.
[17:59] Gus
We couldn't let a child like
you find out about it.
[18:03] Gus
You took matters to the
extreme with Mary, as it was.
[18:11] Menel
Whoa...
[18:13] Gus
This was originally an alcohol storehouse,
[18:16] Gus
which is why it has a basement.
[18:18] Gus
Take whichever pieces you like.
[18:21] Gus
I'm sure the owners will permit it.
[18:27] Gus
A great shield?
[18:29] Will
Yeah.
[18:30] Will
To protect against the dragon's breath.
[18:32] Will
Was it Blood who looked after this armory?
[18:36] Gus
Yes.
[18:37] Gus
And everything in it belonged to the
warriors who battled the High King with us.
[18:43] Will
You're all done?
[18:44] Reystov
Yeah. I don't need anything.
[18:46] Reystov
It's certainly a fine sight,
but no matter how well it performs,
[18:50] Reystov
I can't put my trust in a
weapon I'm not used to.
[18:52] Reystov
That said, Gus the Sage...
[18:56] Reystov
I would like to borrow
your talent for Signs.
[18:58] Gus
Oh?
[19:00] Reystov
Engrave some Words into this that
won't detract from its usability.
[19:04] Reystov
I should be able to master a change
that small within a few days.
[19:07] Gus
I see.
[19:09] Gus
Very well. Give it here.
[19:13] Gus
Hmm...
[19:14] Gus
while nameless, it is a fine sword.
[19:17] Gus
It has long been used with care.
[19:20] Gus
One day, it will be memorialized
in song as the Sword of Reystov.
[19:24] Reystov
Yeah... I hope so.
[19:29] Menel
Hey, Gus the Sage.
[19:32] Gus
You can just call me Gus.
[19:33] Menel
Okay, old Gus.
[19:35] Menel
Who owned this?
[19:37] Gus
That belonged to Telperion
the Silver-String.
[19:41] Menel
I see.
[19:43] Gus
Are you, perchance, from
the Great Forest of Erin?
[19:46] Menel
Yeah. Same as him.
[19:48] Gus
That silver hair...
[19:50] Gus
Are you related to Telperion?
[19:53] Menel
Distantly, but yeah.
[19:55] Menel
I'll take this.
[19:57] Gus
Do you think you can use it?
[20:00] Gus
They say if one who is unworthy uses a
mithril bowstring, he'll lose his fingers.
[20:05] Menel
Not a problem.
[20:10] Menel
See?
[20:16] Ghelreis
What about these?
[20:18] Gus
That is the full armor set of
Bavore, the Blade-Breaker.
[20:22] Ghelreis
It appears to be dwarf armor.
[20:25] Gus
Indeed.
[20:26] Gus
Bavore was a wandering dwarf warrior.
[20:29] Gus
He participated in our battle
against the High King,
[20:32] Gus
calling it a battle of revenge
for the Iron Mountains.
[20:35] Ghelreis
I see...
[20:37] Ghelreis
I shall take this.
[20:41] Al
And I'll take this.
[20:43] Gus
It takes remarkable strength
to swing that as you just did.
[20:47] Al
What was the person who used this like?
[20:50] Gus
It was Ewing the Fierce.
[20:52] Gus
He was always smiling so cheerfully.
[20:54] Gus
He didn't much care for fighting.
[20:58] Gus
If our world had been at peace,
[21:00] Gus
perhaps he would have been a fine farmer...
[21:05] Will
That's right. Ewing, Bavore, Telperion...
[21:09] Will
They all gave their lives
to defeat the High King.
[21:15] Will
All the weapons and armor
pieces in this armory...
[21:19] Will
Every single one of them was
so important to someone,
[21:23] Will
and each has its own story.
[21:26] Will
I pray, wherever they are,
they find guidance and repose.
[21:35] Will
Hey...
[21:37] Will
Once we take care of the demons
and the dragon and come back,
[21:40] Will
can I bring a troubadour girl I know here?
[21:43] Will
She's a halfling,
and she's a tad rambunctious...
[21:46] Gus
Of course. Do as you please.
[21:49] Gus
I'll tell her all the stories she wants.
[21:51] Will
Okay. Thanks.
[21:53] Gus
Is this girl, by any chance...
[21:55] Will
She's a good friend.

[00:00] Will
Al, here.
[00:07] Menel
What's up with that dagger?
[00:09] Menel
Isn't the hook on the wrong side?
[00:11] Al
You're right. It is an unusual design.
[00:14] Will
It's a right-handed stiletto.
[00:16] Will
Since the halberd is strong, but unwieldy.
[00:18] Al
And... who did this dagger belong to?
[00:21] Will
My father.
[00:24] Al
I can't accept this!
[00:26] Al
It's a memento, isn't it?
[00:29] Will
Yeah, but...
[00:31] Will
I feel like it's better off
in your hands, somehow.
[00:39] Will
It's okay.

I've already received plenty

[02:18] Will
Anyway, let's finish up before
the others come back with food.
[02:26] Al
You could have just let
me take care of all this.
[02:29] Will
It'll go faster if we work together.
[02:32] Will
Besides, you're royalty, aren't you?
[02:35] Al
Only in name.
[02:36] Al
I've often wondered why I couldn't
have been born to a family
[02:40] Al
that ran a simple workshop.
[02:42] Will
And if you'd been born to a family that
ran a simple workshop, you'd think,
[02:47] Will
"Maybe I'm actually a prince descended
from the royalty of some fallen nation,
[02:51] Will
and it is my duty to rebuild my kingdom!"
[02:56] Al
I'd want to tell myself that
it's not as great as it sounds.
[03:01] Will
But you'll still do it, right?
[03:04] Al
Yes, I will.
[03:06] Al
In truth, all of my people
long for their homeland.
[03:10] Al
If putting my life on the line
will set their souls alight,
[03:14] Al
I think that would be truly wonderful.
[03:19] Al
But I feel as if I've dragged
you into my own problems.
[03:23] Will
You haven't.
[03:24] Will
I knew I'd have to fight, too.
[03:28] Will
If I abandoned all this now,
[03:29] Will
I'd never be able to face
my parents or Gus again.
[03:33] Will
Besides, I want to take pride in myself.
[03:36] Will
When I return to the goddess
of light's side one day,
[03:39] Will
I want to proudly tell her I
lived my life the best I could.
[03:42] Will
Show off a little, you know?
[03:44] Will
So I won't run from the
dragon. I'll fight it.
[03:48] Will
It's thanks to you that I was
able to make that decision.
[03:51] Will
Thank you.
[03:53] Al
I should be the one to thank you.
[03:56] Al
I swear on your father's dagger
[03:58] Al
that no matter how this ends,
I will regret nothing.
[04:01] Will
Good. I trust you to have my back.
[04:04] Will
I'll be counting on you.
[04:09] Al
Right!
[04:11] Menel
You guys!
[04:17] Menel
I'm back.
[04:28] Menel
Hey, don't feel bad that
you didn't catch any fish.
[04:30] Reystov
It was a fluke.
[04:31] Ghelreis
Indeed.
[04:35] Will
Well, great warriors aren't
always great fisher—
[04:39] Reystov
I said it was a fluke. Got it?
[04:41] Will
Uh, right.
[04:43] Al
But... how did you fell this deer?
[04:47] Menel
Huh? Oh...
[04:48] Menel
I concealed my presence and
kinda just walked into it.
[04:51] Menel
Then I fired by pure reflex,
[04:54] Menel
and it was as if its heart just
pulled the arrow right toward it.
[04:57] Al
You certainly have the blessings
of the god of spirits...
[05:00] Ghelreis
He just got lucky.
[05:02] Reystov
And luck was not on our side.
[05:06] Menel
Just admit you suck at
fishing. You'll feel better.
[05:10] Reystov
It was a fluke.
[05:11] Menel
You just don't know when to give up.
[05:16] Al
Now, now, leave them be.
[05:19] Will
That's so like you, Reystov.
[05:30] (Flashback) Mary
Are you afraid of me, Will?
[05:33] (Flashback) Young Will
No, not at all.
[05:35] (Flashback) Mary
Yes, of course not.
[05:39] (Flashback) Mary
Listen to me.
[05:41] (Flashback) Mary
Humans have flesh that feels warm
to the touch, and they breathe.
[05:47] (Flashback) Mary
Get used to the appearance of humans.
[05:49] (Flashback) Mary
The friends you'll make one day
won't look like the three of us.
[05:57] (Flashback) Young Will
It's okay. I'm not afraid of you, Mary.
[06:00] (Flashback) Young Will
I won't be afraid of any
people I meet, either.
[06:05] (Flashback) Mary
That puts my mind at ease.
[06:09] (Flashback) Blood
Will, you might feel regretful one day.
[06:14] (Flashback) Young Will
Huh?
[06:15] (Flashback) Blood
Valor is the strength to destroy
injustice, but it's also a curse.
[06:21] (Flashback) Young Will
A curse?
[06:23] (Flashback) Blood
There are times when you can't give
up because you know you're strong,
[06:26] (Flashback) Blood
even if means your own death.
[06:29] (Flashback) Blood
I'm only teaching you how to
fight because it's what I want,
[06:33] (Flashback) Blood
so if it ever comes to that,
feel free to hate me.
[06:36] (Flashback) Young Will
Blood, there's no way I could ever hate you!
[06:41] (Flashback) Blood
That so?
[06:56] Will
I'm home.
[06:59] Will
Mary, I actually made some friends.
[07:03] Will
Blood, it's thanks to you
that I've made it this far.
[07:07] Will
It's tough not having you two
around, but I'm managing.
[07:12] Will
Because I remember the last
things you both said to me.
[07:15] Will
I'll keep seeing them through... so...
[07:21] Will
I'm going now.
[07:24] Will
Gus, you were here?
[07:27] Gus
You're leaving, then?
[07:29] Will
In the morning.
[07:30] Gus
Valacirca is a warmonger
through and through.
[07:34] Gus
He can only survive amidst the chaos of war.
[07:37] Gus
It's unlikely you can avoid a fight...
[07:40] Gus
and the only one who might even
pose a threat to him is you.
[07:46] Will
But as I am now, I'm not strong enough.
[07:49] Will
I'd be an easy obstacle for a dragon
to overcome, even if he was hesitant.
[07:54] Gus
You will die. Both you and your friends.
[07:59] Gus
And even if you survive,
someone else might die.
[08:04] Gus
This place is your last stop.
[08:08] Gus
You could run away.
[08:12] Will
If I threw away everything to survive,
it would just mean I wasn't dead.
[08:16] Will
And I learned in both my past life and
this one that that's not good enough.
[08:22] Will
I'm pretty sure all the
others feel the same way.
[08:25] Will
Al, Menel, Reystov, and Ghelreis...
They've all come prepared.
[08:30] Will
Maybe even more so than me.
[08:33] Will
Besides, none of us have
any intention of dying.
[08:37] Gus
Honestly... Who did you take after, boy?
[08:42] Will
Good question.
[08:43] Gus
In that case, your only chance is now,
before his wound has fully healed.
[08:49] Will
The eye wound that King Aurvangr gave him...
[08:53] Gus
Yes.
[08:55] Gus
How deeply I wish that I could
go with you and help you out...
[09:00] Gus
But I am of no use to you
when it matters the most.
[09:05] Will
Just hearing you say that is enough.
[09:08] Will
It's okay. You can just wait
here with Blood and Mary.
[09:13] Gus
Yes.
[09:14] Gus
I'll be waiting.
[09:28] Will
Let's go.
[09:53] Menel
We need to take this tributary, right?
[09:55] Will
Going by the map, yes.
[09:57] Will
If we see any changes in the
terrain, we'll turn back.
[10:00] Menel
Right.
[10:02] Menel
Sylphs, sylphs, put the wind at our backs,
[10:04] Menel
to accompany us as we make our way.
[10:13] Will
Do you have a guess as to
what we might find up ahead?
[10:19] Ghelreis
I know nothing beyond the Great Collapse.
[10:22] Will
Okay.
[10:24] Ghelreis
However, before the Great Collapse,
[10:26] Ghelreis
there was an elven forest to
the west of the Iron Country.
[10:30] Ghelreis
It was called Lothdor.
[10:32] Will
Lothdor? As in, "land of flowers"?
[10:35] Ghelreis
You know the elven language?
[10:37] Will
Enough to get by. Gus taught me.
[10:40] Menel
Lothdor? I've heard of it.
[10:44] Menel
"Pass through the Iron Country,
where dwarfs live in caves,
[10:49] Menel
cross the shining rainbow
bridge, and there is Lothdor.
[10:54] Menel
Lyres of silver and flutes of gold
sing the song of Remmirath."
[11:00] Will
What's that?
[11:01] Menel
A travel song known throughout my homeland.
[11:03] Ghelreis
Ah, that song brings back memories.
[11:06] Ghelreis
Though the Iron Country did not have
[11:08] Ghelreis
a very good relationship
with the elves of Lothdor.
[11:11] Menel
Oh, because of all the logging?
[11:13] Ghelreis
You know the history well.
[11:15] Menel
Nah. Something similar
happened in my own homeland.
[11:19] Ghelreis
Skirmishes between our peoples
grew violent at times.
[11:23] Ghelreis
Sometimes there was only hatred between us.
[11:25] Ghelreis
But at the same time, they
were still our neighbors.
[11:29] Ghelreis
They excelled at song and the spirit arts,
[11:33] Ghelreis
yet they were a proud, ill-tempered people.
[11:36] Ghelreis
We had a certain respect for them,
[11:39] Ghelreis
and they surely felt the same way about us.
[11:43] Will
And during the Great Collapse?
[11:46] Ghelreis
I only know they secluded themselves
in the forest and resisted.
[11:50] Ghelreis
They absolutely would not give up.
[11:53] Ghelreis
Perhaps they survived.
Elves live long lives.
[11:58] Ghelreis
Maybe even—
[12:12] Ghelreis
Is no one there?
[12:15] Ghelreis
I don't... see anyone...
[12:22] Ghelreis
How regrettable.
[12:25] Reystov
It looks like the river's
flow changed in 200 years.
[12:33] Menel
You know, this scenery looks familiar.
[12:37] Will
Words of Taboo?
[12:38] Menel
Yeah.
[12:39] Menel
If the elves really secluded themselves
in the forest, no one could do anything.
[12:42] Menel
So those damned immoral demons used the
Words of Taboo to rot the entire forest.
[12:48] Will
We have to destroy them.
[12:50] Menel
You said it. We can't let them live.
[12:52] Will
But first...
[12:54] Menel
Yeah.
[13:08] Will
There!
[13:10] Al
A serpent?!
[13:12] Will
Don't gawk! There are more coming!
[13:20] Will
Menel! Full speed!
[13:22] Menel
I know!
[13:23] Menel
Sylphs, sylphs, put the wind at our backs,
[13:25] Menel
to accompany us as we make our way!
[13:28] Menel
Damn it! The response is too slow!
[13:30] Will
Focus on the incantation!
[13:31] Will
Reystov and Ghelreis, take the port side!
[13:33] Will
Al, back up Menel!
[13:36] Will
We're in a real pinch here.
[13:38] Will
It's risky, but...
[13:40] Will
Vastar—
[13:40] Will
Devasta—
[13:45] Menel
Will!
[13:51] Will
I can't see a thing... In which case...
[14:14] Al
Sir Will!
[14:19] Reystov
You all right?
[14:28] Will
Vastare.
SIGN Devastate
[14:36] Will
There.
[14:37] Menel
You're merciless, man.
[14:39] Will
I have to be.
[14:41] Will
Menel, let's move carefully.
[14:43] Menel
Yeah.
[14:46] Al
Um, the water suddenly
turned clear back there...
[14:50] Will
Huh? That was just a prayer of cleansing.
[14:53] Al
Huh?!
[14:54] Al
Isn't a prayer of cleansing only
strong enough for a bottle's worth,
[14:57] Al
or at most, a small pond?
[14:59] Will
Uh...
[15:00] Menel
He brute-forces things. Get used to it.
[15:02] Al
Right...
[15:03] Menel
He looks so calm,
[15:05] Menel
but he uses some straight-up
barbarian tactics to brute-force things.
[15:08] Menel
I'm used to it by now.
[15:10] Will
That's just mean.
[15:11] Reystov
The river has swallowed up the forest.
[15:14] Reystov
The change in the terrain here is a problem.
[15:16] Al
Ghelreis, do you see anything
that looks familiar?
[15:20] Ghelreis
No...
[15:22] Ghelreis
Not in this mess.
[15:26] Al
What about that?
[15:33] Ghelreis
That style of architecture...
It's definitely elven.
[15:38] Menel
Where are we on the map?
[15:41] Ghelreis
I would say... right about here.
[15:45] Will
Which means... that's the way we need to go.
[15:50] Menel
The fae around here are weakened.
I can't call on them.
[15:54] Menel
Maybe if I could use my
Lord of the Forest powers...
[15:57] Reystov
No, we probably shouldn't try
to clean this up any more.
[16:01] Reystov
We might catch the demons' attention.
[16:04] Will
Well, then...
[16:07] Will
Let's row.
[16:32] Menel
Enemies?
[16:34] Will
No. They're just in pain.
[16:42] Will
It's all right. Everything's all right now.
[16:45] Will
None of you will curse anyone anymore.
[16:48] Will
You won't haunt. You won't torment.
[17:01] Will
I'll take care of things from here.
[17:03] Will
You can just rest now.
[17:07] Will
Gracefeel, goddess of light,
grant them peace and guidance.
[17:52] Will
We should go that way, then?
As quickly as possible?
[18:08] Will
Please grant us the blessing of your light.
[18:24] Menel
Let's go! Full speed in that
direction! Now! Move it!
[18:28] Will
Huh?
[18:29] Menel
Don't trust an elf's sense of time!
[18:31] Menel
Sylphs, sylphs, put the wind at our backs!
[18:33] Menel
Accompany us with all haste and speed!
[18:37] Menel
You know the saying,
"When an elf says, 'Wait a sec,'
[18:39] Menel
he really means 'See you in a year'"?
[18:40] Menel
That's a true story!
[18:43] Menel
So when someone with such
a lousy sense of time
[18:45] Menel
says "as quickly as possible," you—
[18:50] Menel
I knew it, damn it!
[18:52] Menel
Maidens of water, give us your blessing!
Race with us over the surface!
[19:00] Will
Row! Hurry!
[19:16] Will
Menel!
[19:18] Will
Is she oka—
[19:19] Menel
It's not dead!
[19:28] Menel
Damn it!
[19:34] Menel
It's coming! Brace yourself!
[19:41] Reystov
A hydra?
[19:41] Will
Sagitta Flammeum!
SIGN Flame Arrow
[19:47] Will
Fire is effective!
[19:49] Will
Al, Ghelreis, Reystov! Stay in front!
[19:52] Will
Menel, take her and swap with me!
[19:54] Menel
Got it!
[19:55] Will
I'll stay in the rear and burn the heads!
[19:58] Will
The rest of you, stay in front!
[20:00] Al
Got it!
[20:01] Ghelreis
Right!
[20:02] Reystov
I'm on it!
SIGN Flame Arrow
[20:11] Will
Sagitta Flammeum!
[20:16] Ghelreis
Now, young master!
[20:22] Will
Wow...
[20:23] Menel
Well, looks like I'm not
needed here anymore.
[20:27] Menel
But that's fine.
I don't wanna waste my arrows.
[20:38] Al
Did we kill it?
[20:40] Ghelreis
Do not let your guard down.
[20:41] Ghelreis
A hydra's poison cannot be neutralized
by your everyday miracle.
[20:45] Reystov
A snake like this can still fight
even when all its heads are cut off.
[20:51] Reystov
You don't wanna get hurt
fighting its death throes.
[20:57] Menel
Will!
[20:58] Menel
Take her! She's been bitten!
[21:02] Will
Hang in there! I'll heal you right away!
[21:08] Dine
You... can't...
[21:10] Dine
Hydra poison... deadly...
[21:14] Will
This is bad. The prayer of healing
won't work if she refuses it.
[21:18] Menel
Stop talking!
[21:21] Dine
No...
[21:23] Dine
North... my people's... village...
[21:28] Menel
Seriously, stop!
Just let him help you, brethren!
[21:33] Dine
Breth...ren?
[21:36] Menel
He's no ordinary priest.
[21:38] Menel
Fellow forest dweller, you can be saved.
So accept his miracle.
[21:44] Menel
Pray!

SIGN The Lord of the Rust Mountains
SIGN The Land of Flowers
[01:39] Dine
What are you doing?!
[01:40] Menel
Waking you up with an intense kiss.
[01:43] Menel
How are you feeling, fellow forest dweller?
[01:45] Menel
Feel like you want to puke,
head hurt, anything like that?
[01:48] Dine
S-Such crude speech!
[01:51] Menel
Sure sounds like you're feeling well.
[01:54] Dine
Wait... When you said k-kiss...
[01:58] Dine
Don't tell me you...
[01:59] Menel
Relax. It was just a wine bottle.
SIGN The stars shine upon our meeting.
[02:11] Menel
Sorry for startling you.
I wasn't brought up that well.
[02:15] Menel
I'm Meneldor of Isil.
[02:18] Dine
I am Dinelind of Remmirath,
[02:20] Dine
swift-winged eagle of the silver moon.
[02:25] Menel
May our meeting be blessed,
[02:28] Menel
young lady embodying the enchanting
silence of the shining net of stars.
[02:33] Dine
So you can speak normally.
[02:36] Menel
Elf etiquette really isn't my thing.
[02:39] Menel
Don't make me say any more than that.
[02:44] Dine
My apologies.
Might you be the leader of this group?
[02:49] Dine
A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
I am Dinelind.
[02:53] Will
I'm William G. Maryblood.
[02:57] Dine
You saved my life.
[02:59] Dine
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
[03:04] Dine
Slay the dragon?
[03:06] Dine
Just the five of you?
Are you serious?
[03:09] Menel
You think we'd come this far into the
middle of nowhere if we weren't?
[03:13] Dine
You, perhaps, but I'm sure
William would do no such thing.
[03:17] Dine
He seems quite honest and sincere.
[03:19] Menel
Tch.
[03:21] Will
I realize it's crazy.
[03:24] Will
But we still have to do it.
[03:27] Dine
I see. You are brave.
[03:31] Will
Why were you taking on a
hydra in a place like that?
[03:35] Dine
It is somewhat of a long story...
[03:38] Menel
Let's eat first, then.
[03:41] Menel
You can't trust an elf's "somewhat."
[03:50] Al
Um... Is that okay?
[03:53] Dine
Huh?
[03:54] Al
I mean... I thought elves didn't eat meat...
[03:58] Dine
The only elves who don't eat meat
[04:00] Dine
are those who have undergone a great deal of
training to enhance their spirit qualities.
[04:06] Dine
This is delicious.
[04:08] Menel
You look like you haven't eaten in ages.
[04:11] Dine
Do you not have some inkling as to
what I was doing in that place?
[04:17] Menel
Because a proud elf cannot
abandon the weak, right?
[04:24] Dine
Yes.
[04:26] Menel
It's how they reduce their numbers.
[04:29] Menel
Even if there's not enough
food to support everyone,
[04:32] Menel
elves never cast the sick or elderly aside.
[04:36] Menel
The young, healthy ones who can fight
[04:39] Menel
voluntarily leave their
own communities instead.
[04:42] Dine
Exactly. To banish those who
are weak is unthinkable.
[04:47] Menel
You're an elf through and through.
[04:49] Dine
What does that mean?
Are you belittling me?
[04:51] Menel
It was a compliment. Jeez...
[04:54] Ghelreis
Elves never change, I see.
[04:57] Will
Dinelind, would you take us to your village?
[05:01] Will
If you can show us how
to get to the mountains,
[05:04] Will
we'll do everything we can.
[05:07] Dine
You can call me Dine.
[05:14] Reystov
Looks pretty bad.
[05:17] Menel
There's more than just the demons'
Words of Taboo at work here.
[05:21] Dine
Yes. It's the evil dragon's miasma.
[05:25] Al
The evil dragon?
[05:26] Dine
It defiles the forest,
[05:28] Dine
degrading it year after year,
as if it is necrosing.
[05:32] Dine
There are more and more
strange beasts, as well.
[05:34] Dine
The fog and mire block our
contact with other clans.
[05:39] Dine
The mountains, our only landmark,
[05:42] Dine
are now the dragon's and demons' den.
[05:51] Dine
That sums it up.
[05:53] Al
But the dragon is supposed
to be in the mountains.
[05:56] Al
How has the miasma come this far?
[06:00] Dine
Through underground tunnels
built by the dwarfs.
[06:06] Dine
The dragon's miasma pours into all parts
of the forest from underground tunnels.
[06:11] Al
Th-That's...
[06:15] Dine
Don't worry.
[06:16] Dine
Your people are not to blame.
[06:29] Dine
The powers of the fae have
weakened throughout this region,
[06:32] Dine
and the water, air, and food are all poisoned.
[06:38] Dine
Lothdor...
[06:40] Dine
The days when it was a beautiful
land of flowers have long passed.
[06:44] Dine
Now it is, at best, the land of the half-dead.
[06:48] Dine
So we never imagined heroes would come
from outside to slay the dragon.
[06:56] Dine
Welcome to Lothdor.
[06:58] Dine
I warmly welcome you, heroes.
[07:03] Will
Please allow me to heal your critically ill.
[07:05] Elf ElderA
Can we allow human strangers who
have appeared from nowhere...
[07:10] Elf ElderB
...access to our weakened compatriots?
[07:14] Dine
These people—
[07:15] Chief Elder
This offer has come...
[07:16] Chief Elder
from a warrior with weapons most impressive.
[07:23] Will
Let me cure that cough for you.
[07:25] Chief Elder
Wait... I should not be the one...
[07:28] Will
Goddess of light, Gracefeel...
[07:42] Chief Elder
The coughing stopped...
[07:46] Will
Gather together those who display
the most severe symptoms.
[07:49] Will
I'll visit those who are too
critically ill to move in order.
[07:52] Chief Elder
But healing through blessings takes a great
toll on one's vitality and concentration.
[07:59] Chief Elder
If you heal so many...
[08:01] Will
If it's a hundred or two,
it won't be a problem.
[08:05] Will
I'll heal them all.
[08:40] Will
Goddess of light...
[08:51] Stagnate
Using a poison-neutralizing
blessing to sober yourself up?
[08:53] Stagnate
How very tasteless.
[08:55] Will
This is enemy territory.
I can't let my guard down.
[08:59] Stagnate
Is your journey going well?
[09:01] Will
Yes, for now—ouch!
[09:07] Stagnate
A warning from Gracefeel, eh?
[09:10] Stagnate
Gracefeel truly does love you.
[09:14] Stagnate
What do you say?
Wouldn't you like me to love you, too?
[09:18] Will
Spare me your jokes.
[09:20] Will
Well? What do you want?
[09:22] Stagnate
Only to warn you.
[09:26] Stagnate
If you wish to turn back,
this will likely be your last chance.
[09:31] Stagnate
If you attempt this, you will die.
[09:35] Stagnate
Flee now and amass more strength.
[09:39] Will
If I do that, Al and his
people will probably die.
[09:42] Stagnate
Yes, the dwarfs will die.
[09:45] Stagnate
When the dragon eventually awakens for real,
[09:48] Stagnate
many thousands will die,
human and elf alike.
[09:53] Stagnate
But the damage done by the evil dragon
[09:56] Stagnate
will bring more followers to you
and your goddess, Gracefeel.
[10:00] Stagnate
Many skilled warriors from across the
land will rise to slay the dragon.
[10:06] Stagnate
Among them will surely be
disciples of the virtuous gods,
[10:09] Stagnate
and you will lead them.
[10:12] Stagnate
Gracefeel will have regained her power,
and you will earn her blessing.
[10:16] Stagnate
Then it will be possible for your blade
to reach the evil dragon's throat.
[10:21] Stagnate
I am loathe to even suggest this,
[10:25] Stagnate
but it would be best to
permit some sacrifices.
[10:28] Stagnate
It would not be cowardly. It
would be an act of bravery.
[10:34] Will
I can't do that.
[10:35] Stagnate
Why? Are you so desperate to save everyone?
[10:39] Stagnate
Even if several thousand are
sacrificed in this way,
[10:42] Stagnate
should you die now, tens of thousands
more will die in the future.
[10:48] Stagnate
You would rather endanger ten times,
even a hundred times, as many lives?
[10:53] Stagnate
And a warrior comparable to you
will not show up immediately.
[10:59] Will
I understand what you've said.
[11:01] Stagnate
Then—
[11:02] Will
But the moment I accept your proposal,
[11:05] Will
my promise and my faith
will be both be broken.
[11:09] Will
You've made a sound argument
with full knowledge of that
[11:13] Will
in hopes of breaking my spirit...
[11:15] Will
In hopes of bringing me to your side.
[11:18] Will
Am I wrong?
[11:22] Will
I'm a weak person.
[11:24] Will
I'll just drift in the easiest
direction, lose heart, and give up.
[11:27] Will
I realize I'm just a human
with an ever-changing heart.
[11:33] Will
But the goddess taught me
that I can still start over.
[11:39] Will
I met family and friends I could cherish,
[11:43] Will
and I found things I need to
do and things I want to do.
[11:46] Will
And that's why I'm going
to see them through.
[11:49] Will
Until the moment I fall over dead,
[11:51] Will
I will continue to serve
as her hand and her sword.
[11:55] Will
On the light of Gracefeel.
[11:58] Stagnate
Rats. I've failed to persuade you yet again.
[12:04] Stagnate
You are correct.
[12:07] Stagnate
Your soul is not very strong.
[12:10] Stagnate
If you give up, you will lose heart
and fall. That's all it's worth.
[12:15] Stagnate
Still, you have turned my
expectations on their head.
[12:19] Stagnate
You took me on and defeated me.
[12:25] Stagnate
In a paradoxical way,
I suppose that's what makes you a hero.
[12:31] Will
I never set out with the
intention of being a hero.
[12:35] Stagnate
You realize your own weakness,
[12:37] Stagnate
but you make it your reason
not to give up or lose heart,
[12:40] Stagnate
and even death cannot deter you
from doing what you believe in.
[12:43] Stagnate
That is precisely what
people call being a hero.
[12:47] Stagnate
I will say it one more time.
[12:49] Stagnate
Become mine, paladin.
[12:52] Stagnate
You will serve as my right hand.
[12:55] Stagnate
Let us kill the dragon, take down
all heroes, destroy all the gods,
[13:00] Stagnate
and conquer this world.
[13:03] Stagnate
You and I.
[13:06] Will
I respectfully decline.
[13:08] Will
After all, I know you don't like
to see heroes fall from grace.
[13:17] Will
I won't be swayed by your invitation.
[13:19] Will
I will continue to be your enemy.
[13:23] Will
Because I respect you.
[13:28] Stagnate
Still, what a shame!
[13:30] Stagnate
You will die. The dragon will rip you apart.
[13:34] Stagnate
Farewell, my foolish, clever enemy!
[13:43] Menel
Come on, just let me go already.
[13:45] Dine
I told you, I can't let you go!
[13:48] Dine
I see it's true that elves
of Isil have no principles!
[13:51] Menel
I don't wanna hear that from a "keep
it face-to-face" Remmirath elf!
[13:54] Will
Oh, just a lovers' squabble?
[13:58] Menel
Hang on, now.
[13:59] Dine
What did you just say?
[14:01] Will
E-Eh...
[14:04] Dine
We have no time to waste on love affairs.
[14:08] Will
Th-That's true...
[14:10] Menel
Yeah, not at a time like this.
[14:12] Menel
Even I can catch that much of a clue.
[14:14] Will
And if it wasn't a time like this?
[14:16] Menel
I'd say it, sure. I mean, she's pretty.
[14:18] Dine
Pr—
[14:19] Menel
Dropping a slick compliment or two
whenever I see her is just good manners.
[14:25] Will
I guess I just don't get it...
[14:27] Dine
You really are just ectoccako niragamose!
[14:31] Menel
Yeah, well, I'd say you're onomoc nag.
[14:34] Dine
Excuse me?!
[14:37] Will
The local Lord of the Forest?
[14:38] Menel
Yeah. I should be able to
heal it, at least a little.
[14:42] Will
Oh, right. The way you are now...
[14:46] Dine
Absolutely not!
[14:47] Menel
Okay, look...
[14:49] Will
You know, Menel can be trusted.
[14:52] Dine
I do trust what you two say.
[14:56] Dine
There's no telling how many
elves you saved last night.
[14:59] Dine
I'm grateful to you.
[15:01] Will
Then, why?
[15:03] Dine
The area around the Lord of the
Forest is demon beast territory.
[15:07] Dine
It's not our land.
[15:09] Will
Then...
[15:10] Dine
We should depend on you?
[15:13] Dine
Ask you to fight yet another battle,
[15:17] Dine
when you're heading into one already?
[15:20] Dine
Beg you to help us because we
can't handle it ourselves,
[15:23] Dine
to put off what you came here to do?
[15:26] Dine
I absolutely refuse!
[15:28] Dine
I will not make such a shameless request!
[15:32] Menel
See? That's an elf for ya.
[15:35] Ghelreis
The elves truly haven't changed.
[15:38] Will
What should we do?
[15:40] Ghelreis
Whatever you want.
[15:42] Will
I see. Okay, let's do that.
[15:45] Will
Do you know where in the forest he is?
[15:47] Menel
He's weak, but I can sense him.
[15:49] Will
Ghelreis, round up Al and Reystov for us.
[15:53] Will
Have them come fully armed.
[15:54] Ghelreis
Right.
[15:55] Dine
Wait a minute!
What are you talking about?
[15:58] Will
A demon beast extermination, of course.
[16:00] Dine
I just told you, we—
[16:02] Menel
But there's no reason to
complain if we do it, right?
[16:05] Menel
Just so you know, a few magic beasts
aren't enough to beat me or him.
[16:12] Dine
Oh, fine, then!
[16:14] Dine
I'll go call for some of our best talents!
[16:17] Dine
Don't you dare leave on your own!
[16:20] Dine
The demon beasts who've made the Lord of the
Forest's throne their turf are insect-types.
[16:26] Dine
The earwigs' defensive power
is particularly troublesome.
[16:30] Al
This must be it!
[16:35] Ghelreis
This will make good training.
[16:38] Dine
And purple moths attack from the sky!
[16:41] Menel
Right.
[16:44] Dine
Careful! Their wing scales are poison!
[16:47] Menel
Got it.
[16:52] Menel
Okay, let's go.
[17:31] Will
Good job.
[17:32] Menel
Yep.
[17:34] Dine
William, are you sure about this?
[17:37] Will
Why do you ask?
[17:39] Dine
If the dragon or the demons
notice you doing this...
[17:44] Will
That would be bad.
[17:45] Dine
Then—
[17:47] Will
But...
[17:49] Will
To ignore this and move
on would be even worse.
[17:52] Will
Al, Reystov, Ghelreis...
[17:56] Will
I'm sorry for getting you all
involved in my own problem.
[17:59] Al
You don't need to worry.
[18:00] Al
Without you, we wouldn't
have even made it this far.
[18:06] Ghelreis
The young master is correct.
[18:08] Reystov
Yeah. Nothing new.
[18:10] Reystov
I'm more worried about you.
[18:12] Reystov
You're planning to just charge
straight in, aren't you?
[18:14] Will
Yes.
[18:15] Dine
What? Straight in?
[18:17] Will
Could you show me to the
nearest underground tunnel?
[18:20] Will
One that leads to the Rust Mountains,
where the dragon is.
[18:25] Will
If the enemy is going to find us,
better sooner than later.
[18:29] Will
Please.
[18:31] Dine
Very well.
[18:35] Dine
I will send one back to the
village to inform them.
[18:38] Dine
So take the rest of us with
you to where the dragon is.
[18:41] Dine
We can be decoys or shields, at least.
[18:44] Will
No need for that. You lack the strength.
[18:48] Will
We can't afford to take
people who'll slow us down.
[18:52] Dine
After you've done so much for us,
[18:55] Dine
you'll simply march on to your death?
[18:58] Will
Yes.
[18:59] Dine
How humiliating.
[19:02] Dine
Very well. We shall do as you say.
[19:06] Elf WarriorA
But, Dinelind!
[19:07] Elf WarriorB
This is just too—
[19:09] Dine
Would you add another layer to our shame
by averting your eyes to our weakness?
[19:15] Dine
Right now, no matter how hard we fight,
we are sick and weak.
[19:21] Dine
We are weaklings.
[19:25] Dine
This way. Follow me.
[19:30] Menel
You should've let me do that.
[19:32] Will
No, I needed to be the one to say it.
[19:38] Ghelreis
The west gate...
[19:40] Ghelreis
I never dreamed I would come here again.
[19:44] Al
This is the entrance to the Iron Country...
[19:48] Dine
You're really going on?
[19:51] Will
Yes.
SIGN Knock, and it shall be opened
[19:53] Will
"Pulsate et aperietur vobis."
[19:57] Will
Al, knock on the door. That's the signal.
[20:01] Al
Sir Will...
[20:03] Al
Are you sure I should do it?
[20:05] Will
No one has the right to
open this door but you.
[20:11] Al
Right.
[20:46] Will
Fortia!
SIGN Strength
[20:54] Will
They did notice us.
[20:57] Ghelreis

[20:59] Al
The evil dragon, Valacirca...
[21:03] Menel
Damn it.
[21:08] Dine
You...
[21:10] Dine
You intend to go up against this?
[21:13] Will
Yes. That's what we came for.
[21:17] Will
Lumen.
SIGN Light
[21:20] Will
We came to reclaim the mountains,
[21:22] Will
to reclaim peace.
[21:25] Will
So we'll be going now.
[21:30] Dine
Wait!
[21:33] Dine
We, the elves of Lothdor,
will not forget our debt to you.
[21:38] Dine
I hereby swear to our
ancestral god, Rhea Silvia,
[21:42] Dine
that we will return the favor one day.
[21:47] Dine
I pray the blessings of the virtuous
gods and the spirits of courage
[21:51] Dine
will be with you as you go.

[02:10] Menel
Ugh.
[02:12] Will
Wouldn't want to be in here too long.
[02:14] Reystov
We were right not to use fire.
[02:17] Reystov
The air is stagnant.
[02:19] Al
Sir William cast a spell of
poison resistance on all of us,
[02:22] Al
but it's still a nasty feeling.
[02:25] Al
Poor visibility, too.
[02:27] Al
The possibility of enemy encounters
and traps is terrifying.
[02:31] Will
We are up against demons, after all.
[02:33] Will
Some crawl on the walls and ceilings.
Some even have wings.
[02:38] Will
Keep that in the back of your mind as we
keep our focus in front and to our sides.
[02:43] Will
We'll post a guard occasionally
and take short breaks.
[02:46] Al
Right.
[02:55] Menel
Stop.
[02:58] Menel
There's a trap. I'll disarm it.
[03:02] Will
Do you know where we are?
[03:05] Ghelreis
We should be coming up on the Hall of Stone.
[03:07] Ghelreis
The paths diverge drastically from there.
[03:12] Menel
All good. Let's go.
[03:15] Will
Yeah.
[03:20] Ghelreis
Surprising.
[03:22] Will
Yes. We weren't attacked
by demons even once.
[03:26] Al
Could that mean... well...
[03:28] Al
that the dragon and the demons
are not actually a monolith?
[03:33] Menel
We can't say that for certain yet.
[03:36] Menel
Maybe they're all assembled in
the Hall of Stone just ahead
[03:39] Menel
and are waiting to ambush us.
[03:41] Will
But if there's no ambush,
it'll mean Al's right.
[03:45] Menel
Wait.
[03:52] Reystov
What is it?
[03:54] Menel
I hear something.
[03:55] Menel
The sound of clanking metal...
and footsteps coming and going.
[04:00] Will
Is it an ambush?
[04:01] Menel
I don't know.
[04:03] Menel
All I can say for sure is
that something's out there.
[04:06] Al
Um... Does that mean this is, uh...
[04:09] Will
Yeah.
[04:13] Will
Ghelreis and I will go in
first with our shields up.
[04:16] Will
Menel, back us up from the corridor.
[04:19] Will
Al and Reystov, stand by.
[04:21] Will
We'll watch for our chance to charge in.
[05:08] SkeletonA
Ah, we have dwarfs. Humans and an elf, too.
[05:13] SkeletonB
I thought Lothdor had fallen.
[05:16] SkeletonC
Did this one escape?
[05:17] SkeletonC
Don't worry, brethren. You're safe here.
[05:28] SkeletonD
How goes the battle?
[05:30] SkeletonE
You must have had a rough time.
[05:36] Ghelreis
Everyone...
[05:37] SkeletonD
Oh! I know you! You're Ghelreis!
[05:41] SkeletonD
I thought you got out.
[05:44] SkeletonE
Did you get out and then come back?
That's just like you.
[05:49] SkeletonC
You've got guts, though.
[05:51] SkeletonC
You'll add the strength of
a hundred to our ranks.
[05:54] SkeletonC
Fight with us!
[06:05] Will
Al...
[06:07] Al
I think... I should be the one to tell them.
[06:22] SkeletonA
King Aurvangr?
[06:24] SkeletonB
No, this isn't the king.
He should be in the throne room.
[06:31] Al
My name is Vindalfr!
[06:35] Al
I carry within me the blood of Aurvangr,
the last king of the Iron Country!
[06:40] SkeletonB
The last? He is not the last!
[06:43] SkeletonA
We are still here.
The Iron Country has not yet fallen.
[06:49] Al
That is a fine estacade.
You are well-prepared.
[06:53] Al
I can tell you have continued
to repair and improve it.
[06:57] SkeletonC
That's right.
It is the pinnacle of our technology.
[07:01] SkeletonE
We will not allow the demons to enter here.
[07:06] Al
I see.
[07:08] Al
But...
[07:14] Al
Despite all this,
the Iron Country has fallen!
[07:17] Al
All of the warriors died!
[07:20] Al
The great King Aurvangr died!
[07:22] Al
Lothdor has tragically withered away,
[07:24] Al
and the Iron Country
is now the Rust Mountains,
[07:28] Al
where a dragon and demons lurk!
[07:30] SkeletonA
That... cannot be.
[07:34] SkeletonD
The Iron Country... cannot fall...
[07:38] Al
You know it to be true!
[07:39] Al
Do not avert your eyes from the
truth, brave dwarf warriors!
[07:47] Al
My grandfather, Aurvangr,
struck back at the evil dragon
[07:51] Al
and took one of his eyes!
[07:53] Al
It was a heroic act celebrated
by the gods themselves!
[07:56] Al
And I, Vindalfr, have committed
myself to carrying on his heroism,
[08:02] Al
alongside the heroes of the present day!
[08:05] Al
It is true that the Iron Country has fallen.
[08:08] Al
But I pray they may now sit at the
side of our ancestral god Blaze,
[08:14] Al
as well as that of Gracefeel,
goddess of light!
[08:18] Al
I hereby swear on the names of all the
virtuous gods and our ancestral spirits
[08:24] Al
that I will bring back the Iron
Country's former prosperity!
[08:28] Al
The kiln fires have not yet gone out!
[08:30] Al
Their flames will spread,
burning off all the rust,
[08:34] Al
and the Rust Mountains will be
the Iron Mountains once more!
[08:45] Al
So... please rest now.
[08:50] Al
You have all done more than enough.
[09:26] Ghelreis
Young master... Well said.
[09:29] Ghelreis
Let us drive away the demons
and see your promise through.
[09:34] Ghelreis
I will protect you even if
it costs me my ancient life.
[09:38] Al
I wouldn't exchange that for your life.
[09:42] Al
There is still much I
need to learn from you.
[09:45] Al
About these mountains...
[09:48] Al
and about how to fight.
[09:52] Menel
Who makes pain-in-the-ass promises
about rebuilding nations?
[09:57] Menel
Talk about dumb.
[09:58] Al
Unlike the vows you and Sir Will made,
[10:01] Al
at least mine has an end in sight,
so it's not as dumb as yours.
[10:07] Reystov
We must win first, and then survive.
[10:11] Al
Yes.
[10:13] Al
Sir Will, I apologize for the delay.
[10:16] Al
Let us proceed. Your orders?
[10:18] Will
You don't need to call me "Sir" anymore.
[10:22] Will
I can't make a king be my thane.
[10:25] Al
But that's...
[10:26] Al
No. You are still Sir Will,
[10:30] Al
the peerless knight that
I admire and respect.
[10:35] Will
I see. I guess I can't stop you, then.
[10:40] Will
That was very commendable. Well done.
[10:44] Will
I'm sure they all felt blessed, as well.
[10:47] Al
Yes!
[10:49] Al
U-Um...
[10:51] Al
Should I be somewhat grateful to
the god of the undead, as well?
[10:55] Will
Uh...
[10:57] Will
J-Just a little bit couldn't hurt, I guess?
[11:11] Will
I know it was necessary,
[11:14] Will
but it looks like we lost
a little too much time.
[11:21] Will
Let's go.
[11:23] Will
We must take back the Iron Country,
[11:25] Will
the nation of the dwarfs.
[11:30] Will
By the light of Gracefeel!
[12:01] Ghelreis
Go right at the next branch!
[12:03] Al
Right!
[12:06] Menel
Having such rough-and-tumble guys
out in front makes this easy.
[12:12] Menel
Will, doing okay?
[12:13] Will
Yeah. There's not that much
pressure from the rear.
[12:16] Will
I can handle it on my own.
[12:19] Menel
Just fine covering our
rear on your own, huh?
[12:21] Menel
You're as brilliant as ever, I see.
[12:24] Will
I'm really not.
[12:27] Will
I'm not alone, after all.
[12:31] Ghelreis
We will soon reach the Hall of Light.
[12:33] Ghelreis
The dragon is likely in the
Great Cavern just beyond there.
[12:37] Ghelreis
I imagine the demons will be waiting
to intercept us in the Hall of Light.
[12:41] Ghelreis
It is the throne room where the great
King Aurvangr delivered his last speech.
[12:47] Al
We have to take it back.
[12:49] Will
Yeah. Let's take it back!
[12:51] Menel
Well, if you say so.
[12:53] Menel
I'll back you up, at least.
[12:55] Reystov
Yeah. Everything that was
stolen should be taken back.
[13:08] Will
Is that...
[13:32] Will
I think that's...
[13:34] Will
The general... Scarabaeus.
[13:44] Al
Sir Will, please let me handle him.
[13:49] Will
Al... no, Vindalfr.
[13:52] Will
I wish you luck.
[13:54] Al
Thank you.
[13:57] Menel
Wha... Hey!
[13:58] Will
It's all right, Menel.
[14:00] Will
Let him go.
[14:01] Menel
Hang on a minute!
[14:02] Menel
That's a general!
It's way out of his league!
[14:08] Will
Still...
[14:10] Will
This is Al's battle.
[14:12] Will
A king's battle for his throne.
[14:34] Ghelreis
I don't like that look on its face.
[14:36] Will
It's strong.
[14:38] Menel
You're gonna let him die for
some warrior's hang-up?
[14:41] Menel
You're not the only one
who taught him, you know.
[14:45] Reystov
Yes, but either way...
[14:48] Will
I doubt we'll have a chance to interfere.
[14:58] Menel
Guess that's what you meant!
[15:05] Menel
Hey, Al! If you can't handle it,
just stay alive until we win!
[15:08] Menel
Don't die!
[15:10] Al
Thank you, Sir Menel. But...
[15:14] Al

Man, I really thought we were all dead meat.
[19:25] Menel
Five of us charging into the demons'
base was definitely reckless.
[19:30] Menel
Well done, my man. You did great.
[19:33] Al
N-No, I didn't really...
[19:42] Will
You took it all back.
The mountains and the crown.
[19:46] Al
No, not quite.
[19:49] Al
I haven't taken everything back yet.
[19:52] Will
Yeah, you're right.
[19:54] Al
But as soon as I do,
[19:57] Al
I'd like you to put this crown on my head.
[20:00] Will
Huh? Isn't that something only
high-ranking clergymen can do?
[20:05] Menel
Isn't that what you are?
[20:06] Will
Oh.

Let's go.
[20:13] Reystov
Wait.
[20:14] Reystov
Look over there.
[20:17] Al
Scarabaeus's body is gone...
[20:19] Ghelreis
Hm? But his head is still here.
[20:22] Reystov
Demons are supposed to turn
to dust when they die.
[20:25] Al
Yet even after being beheaded, he...
[20:27] Will
Let's track him.
[20:33] Ghelreis
He's heading toward the Great Cavern.
[20:36] Will
To get help from the dragon?
[20:38] Reystov
He may also just be wandering around
blindly on reflexive bodily movements.

[20:46] Will
Everyone, be careful.
[20:56] Ghelreis
This is the Great Cavern.

That explains the age disparity.
[05:48] Valacirca
Now, I believe that concludes our
introductions and inquiries.
[05:53] Will
Yes.
[06:09] Valacirca
Faraway Paladin...
[06:13] Valacirca
Do you wish to take me as your servant?
[06:18] Valacirca
Why does that surprise you so?
[06:21] Valacirca
You and your companions
destroyed the demons.
[06:25] Valacirca
You are a danger even to me,
and that is inconvenient.
[06:29] Valacirca
So it is only natural that I would
seek something new to depend upon.
[06:37] Valacirca
I do have my ulterior motives, of course.
[06:42] Valacirca
I will seek appropriate compensation.
[06:50] Valacirca
Have no fear.
[06:53] Valacirca
I do not wish to fight a brave
warrior such as yourself.
[06:57] Will
Yet in a few decades,
[06:59] Will
you'll kill me, destroy everything,
and change loyalties again.
[07:04] Will
That's how you operate.
[07:19] Valacirca
Splendid! Splendid! You are correct!
[07:31] Valacirca
But it is not such a bad deal, is it?
[07:39] Will
He's right.
[07:41] Will
If I accept, I won't have to
fight a losing battle now.
[07:45] Valacirca
What reason do you have to fight me?
[07:50] Valacirca
It is because you perceive me
as a threat to innocent people
[07:54] Valacirca
that you came to me armed with spear
and determination, is it not?
[08:09] Valacirca
Look. Now I am no threat.
[08:13] Valacirca
I lower my head to you.
[08:21] Will
What... is this?
[08:24] Valacirca
Now, make your choice,
[08:27] Valacirca
Faraway Paladin, hero of the modern age!
[08:31] Valacirca
Show me that you have what
it takes to control me!
[08:36] Valacirca
Will you choose peace,
or a battle resulting in your demise?
[08:41] Valacirca
I am not a patient creature.
[08:45] Valacirca
Choose quickly.
[08:55] Will
What is this?
[08:57] Will
Should I refuse?
[09:00] Will
No, if I do that...
[09:03] Will
What should I do?
[09:06] Will
What choice should I make?
[09:27] Will
Someone...
[09:49] Will
That's right.
[09:51] Will
I've already been saved... by her.
[09:55] Will
If courage is something that
can take a physical form,
[09:59] Will
then in my heart now is...
[10:02] Will
Menel, Reystov,
[10:05] Will
Al, Ghelreis...
[10:08] Will
The outcome of this conversation
will decide everything.
[10:12] Will
Be ready!
[10:18] Valacirca
Well?
[10:20] Valacirca
Have you decided?
[10:22] Valacirca
Then choose, Faraway Paladin.
[10:27] Valacirca
Will it be peace or death?
[10:30] Will
I will not choose.
[10:31] Will
It is you who must choose, Valacirca.
[10:36] Valacirca
Oh?
[10:38] Valacirca
And what choice am I to make?
[10:41] Will
Will you mend your ways or not?
[10:50] Will
Let's confirm one thing.
[10:52] Will
The peace you speak of
[10:55] Will
is a limited peace between you and me.
[10:58] Will
It is not specifically peace for me,
[11:00] Will
or for the innocent people.
[11:03] Will
Am I wrong?
[11:08] Valacirca
Indeed, you are correct!
[11:12] Will
In which case, I have only one condition:
[11:16] Will
mend your ways!
[11:19] Valacirca
What am I to improve?
[11:22] Will
Your extreme enthusiasm for constantly
scheming and seeking conflict.
[11:27] Will
If you swear to mend your ways
and truly seek my patronage,
[11:33] Will
I will also swear to the goddess
of light that I will protect you.
[11:37] Will
For as long as I live, I will defend
you from all who are hostile to you.
[11:41] Will
That is how I operate.
[11:45] Will
Well?
[11:46] Will
Will you choose to improve, or to fight?
[11:49] Will
I would like your answer, dragon!
[12:11] Valacirca
Well done!
[12:13] Valacirca
You have successfully answered the
dragon's riddle, Faraway Paladin!
[12:20] Valacirca
You are no reckless boy flourishing
his own strength for a lark,
[12:25] Valacirca
nor are you cunning for the sake
of protecting your own life.
[12:29] Valacirca
You walk the path you consider to be
righteous with valor and wisdom.
[12:35] Valacirca
Marvelous!
[12:38] Valacirca
You are in every way the successor
to those heroes of old!
[12:42] Valacirca
I acknowledge you as a true hero!
[12:53] Valacirca
However, I refuse to make the
choice to change my ways!
[13:10] Valacirca
I am Valacirca!
[13:15] Valacirca
I am the sickle of the gods:
Calamity's Sickle.
[13:18] Valacirca
I am the lord of miasma and sulfur,
[13:21] Valacirca
and brother of the lava.
[13:23] Valacirca
I live only because miasma
poisons and kills,
[13:27] Valacirca
and because lava boils hot!
[13:29] Valacirca
War, disasters, feats of valor, treasure,
[13:33] Valacirca
death, sacrificial maidens, and heroes:
[13:37] Valacirca
what is a dragon without any of these?!
[13:41] Valacirca
I am Valacirca!
[13:44] Valacirca
The oldest and most powerful of dragons,
feared even by the gods:
[13:48] Valacirca
Valacirca!
[14:07] Valacirca
Hero,
[14:09] Valacirca
and warriors led by the hero...
[14:12] Valacirca
I could kill all of you here
[14:15] Valacirca
and add another new page
to my terrifying history,
[14:20] Valacirca
or I could be slain by you and be sung of
as a feat of valor until the end of time.
[14:30] Valacirca
Now, if you are prepared for the dragon's
flames to burn your body and soul to naught
[14:34] Valacirca
and erase you from the cycle
of death and rebirth,
[14:38] Valacirca
then I permit you to challenge me!
[14:44] Will
This is the great dragon
of the age of the gods...
[14:49] Will

The moment of victory is
surprisingly... unsatisfying.
[19:21] Menel
Will?
[19:28] Will
The dragon is destroyed...
[19:31] Will
isn't it?
[19:34] Will
Yet I don't feel certain of our victory.
[19:37] Will
Not everything is resolved
by a battle to the death.
[19:40] Will
Sometimes, you win by pure chance.
[19:44] Will
And yet...
[19:51] Will
Is that... wind?
[19:56] Will
No! It's not over!
[20:31] Will
He... transformed?
[20:36] Valacirca
Precisely!

Words of Transformation...
[20:50] Will
Words so risky that humans
can't use them...
[20:54] Will
But that's a good point.
[20:56] Will
How was a huge beast like Valacirca able
to get to this underground country?
[21:02] Valacirca
Have you caught on?
[21:05] Valacirca
That's right.
[21:11] Valacirca
The Words are all too well-known to us!
[21:17] Valacirca
I see.
[21:18] Valacirca
With the Words of Obliteration,
you could erase even me...
[21:24] Valacirca
if your aim was true, that is.
[21:34] Will
He even knows how to counter
the ultimate destructive magic.
[21:39] Will
No, the result would likely be the same,
no matter what magic I chose.

This dragon has fought every kind of

[01:46] Valacirca
Well, now, Faraway Paladin...
[01:50] Valacirca
You have fought bravely. I commend you.
[01:55] Valacirca
Out of respect for the
fight you have put up,
[01:58] Valacirca
I offer you this proposal.
[02:03] Valacirca
Have you any interest in serving me?
[02:10] Valacirca
I see that you are wise to my intentions.
[02:13] Valacirca
I am prepared to give you justification.
[02:18] Valacirca
Should you refuse to accept my proposal,
[02:20] Valacirca
I will burn your companions'
very bones and souls to ashes.
[02:27] Valacirca
Thus threatened, you had no choice
but to capitulate to the dragon
[02:30] Valacirca
in order to save your companions' lives.
[02:33] Valacirca
Well? It serves as an appropriate
excuse, does it not?
[02:41] Valacirca
I have seen many humans with
that very look in their eyes.
[02:46] Valacirca
Even if I threaten to burn
you to ashes yourself,
[02:49] Valacirca
you will not bend or falter.
[02:53] Valacirca
You are still trying to ensure that
your companions do not catch on
[02:57] Valacirca
as you continue to search for a
way out of this predicament.
[03:01] Valacirca
But no matter how hard you try,
your effort is in vain.
[03:07] Valacirca
Am I wrong?
[03:10] Valacirca
No... There is one way
[03:14] Valacirca
for you to avoid giving in to me.
[03:20] Valacirca
You need only kill yourself.
[03:25] Valacirca
You are loved by the goddess
of flux, are you not?
[03:28] Valacirca
Simply cut off your own head.
[03:32] Valacirca
After all, the next world awaits you, yes?
[03:35] Valacirca
And the next one after that?
[03:38] Valacirca
And after that, and after that—
you have infinite chances, do you not?
[03:45] Valacirca
If you wish to prevent tragedy,
[03:47] Valacirca
simply end your life, as you would throw
a game board if you could not win.
[03:52] Valacirca
Tell yourself, "Not here. Next time.
This is not the time for me to fight."
[03:58] Will
I won't choose that.
[04:01] Valacirca
Very well, then.
[04:03] Valacirca
One who sees his own life as
no more valuable than that
[04:07] Valacirca
is not worth having in my service.
[04:11] Valacirca
Choose, then.
[04:14] Valacirca
Will you side with me,
[04:16] Valacirca
or will you fight me and die?
[04:19] Will
I can well imagine what would
happen if I sided with you.
[04:23] Will
I cannot bow to you.
[04:26] Valacirca
Your companions will die.
[04:28] Will
We came here prepared for that possibility.
[04:32] Will
If any of us are lost,
[04:34] Will
so long as just one of us survives to put
a blade to your throat, that's enough.
[04:39] Valacirca
But surely you see that you
have no chance of winning.
[04:44] Will
I do.
[04:46] Will
If I hit you thousands—millions—
of times with this blade, I will win.
[04:53] Will
Am I wrong?
[04:57] Valacirca
Perhaps after many thousands of miracles.
[05:02] Will
It doesn't matter how many thousands,
millions, or billions it takes.
[05:06] Will
If I have a chance at winning,
at keeping my promise,
[05:10] Will
I will bet on it.
[05:12] Will
You're about to see how stubborn I can be.
[05:18] Will
Evil dragon Valacirca!

If I can just get Overeater into him
somewhere and extract his life force...
[07:14] Valacirca
Truly a shame.
[07:27] Valacirca
I am familiar with that demonblade.
[07:31] Valacirca
It is quite a threat, indeed.
[07:36] Valacirca
It is said to have been
forged by a demon king
[07:41] Valacirca
in order to confront and kill
the sword-obsessed High King.
[07:48] Valacirca
But if one knows how it works,
[07:51] Valacirca
it can be defeated.
[07:53] Valacirca
Much like this.
[08:01] Will
I guess he has no intention of
fighting at close range anymore.
[08:06] Valacirca
While it has been entertaining,
[08:08] Valacirca
I never dreamed a mere human could
make a fight so difficult,
[08:16] Valacirca
Faraway Paladin, William G. Maryblood.
[08:22] Will
My mana's already...
[08:24] Valacirca
I commend you for giving me so many wounds.
[08:30] Valacirca
Were we merely testing each other's skills,
[08:34] Valacirca
I might have placed a wreath
of victory on your head
[08:38] Valacirca
for putting up such a
fight against a dragon.
[08:41] Valacirca
Your strength rivals that of the
heroes of the age of gods.
[08:46] Valacirca
You are a true man of power—
[08:50] Valacirca
a hero of the present age!
[08:53] Valacirca
However...
[08:55] Valacirca
This is a battle to the death!
[09:02] Valacirca
I will not make you suffer.
[09:05] Valacirca
At the very least, you can...
[09:07] Valacirca
die quickly!
[09:11] Will
I swore an oath to the goddess!
[09:24] Valacirca
A Herald? Too weak to send an Echo, then?
[09:28] Valacirca
A wasted effort, goddess of light!
[09:45] Will
Goddess...
[09:49] Valacirca
You value your hero's life that much?
[09:54] Valacirca
But the intervention of a mere Herald
from a single god changes nothing!
[10:14] Valacirca
Paladin...
[10:16] Valacirca
You have proven yourself
worthy to die by my breath.
[10:21] Valacirca
I will hold your image within my memory,
[10:25] Valacirca
but I will burn you to ash,
body and soul, down to the last bone!
[10:30] Stagnate
No, no. I can't have that.
[10:33] Valacirca
Who goes there?!
[10:45] Stagnate
This hero is my prey. My enemy.
[10:50] Stagnate
I am certain of that
after seeing him fight.
[10:54] Stagnate
And I won't have him defeated by
another right in front of me.
[10:58] Valacirca
The god of the undead, Stagnate?!
[11:07] Stagnate
Well, now, evil dragon Valacirca...
[11:12] Stagnate
I believe you said the intervention of a
mere Herald from a single god changes nothing.
[11:21] Stagnate
You are right.
[11:23] Stagnate
That is the prophecy I gave him, as well.
[11:26] Stagnate
Heroes are insufficient,
[11:28] Stagnate
and heroes with the goddess of light
on their side are still insufficient.
[11:32] Stagnate
They stand no chance of slaying the
evil dragon, Calamity's Sickle.
[11:37] Stagnate
But come to think of it,
[11:38] Stagnate
I didn't consider what the intervention
of two gods could do.
[11:42] Stagnate
I wonder what would change.
[11:45] Stagnate
Would these heroes have
a chance of winning?
[11:48] Stagnate
I believe they would have at
least some chance, Valacirca.
[11:54] Valacirca
You are as loquacious as ever,
god of the undead.
[11:58] Stagnate
You and I are two of a kind.
A detestable kind.
[12:02] Stagnate
I feel we have similar tastes.
[12:05] Valacirca
My taste is not as bad as yours.
[12:08] Valacirca
A life—a soul—only has value if
it burns out with a final twinkle.
[12:14] Valacirca
What is the point of living
forever, you worldly fool?
[12:19] Stagnate
That itself is poor taste.
[12:21] Stagnate
Beautiful things should last forever.
[12:24] Stagnate
That is natural. You only seek to destroy.
[12:29] Valacirca
What a lady killer you are, paladin.
[12:33] Valacirca
Even in the age of gods,
I never saw the like.
[12:36] Valacirca
Imagine! Two goddesses rushing to
your side when you are in peril!
[12:40] Will
Goddess?
[12:43] Stagnate
Does it matter whether I
am a god or a goddess?
[12:48] Stagnate
To a god, gender is only decorative. Right?
[12:55] Stagnate
Don't be so angry, Gracefeel.
[12:58] Stagnate
Where's the harm in enjoying
a little perk like this?
[13:02] Stagnate
"Why now?" you ask?
[13:06] Stagnate
After seeing such a furious battle,
[13:09] Stagnate
I would regret not intervening much more.
[13:12] Valacirca
You would interfere in the great Valacirca's
fight for a reason like that?
[13:19] Valacirca
You hero-obsessed hedonist!
[13:22] Stagnate
Precisely.
[13:23] Stagnate
This hero, this strange paladin,
is worth going mad for.
[13:30] Stagnate
Now, this battle is not yet over.
[13:34] Stagnate
Do you have the will to fight once more,
[13:37] Stagnate
William G. Maryblood?
[13:39] Stagnate
My foolish yet clever enemy,
[13:42] Stagnate
paladin of the light...
[13:44] Stagnate
Uphold your vow and hold your
conviction in your heart.
[13:47] Stagnate
You stated that you would fight until
the moment you fell over dead.
[13:52] Stagnate
Surely that was not a lie, was it?
[13:57] Will
I can't get out of doing this, can I?
[14:01] Will
Valacirca!
[14:03] Valacirca
What?
[14:05] Will
Remember when I said you were about
to see how stubborn I can be?
[14:12] Valacirca
Indeed, you are dreadfully stubborn!
[14:16] Valacirca
Was it this persistence that set
the gods in action at last?
[14:20] Valacirca
You truly are a hero!
[14:23] Valacirca
Very well.
[14:25] Valacirca
The gods have given you their
utmost blessings and protection,
[14:28] Valacirca
allowing a man and a dragon
to stand as equals.
[14:32] Valacirca
And burning the hero lauded by the gods
[14:36] Valacirca
is what makes me a dragon!
[14:39] Valacirca
Now, merciful goddesses
who oversee the soul!
[14:44] Valacirca
Lovely maidens who have lost
the protection of war!
[14:47] Valacirca
What protections will you give this hero?
[14:50] Valacirca
How will you kill me?
[14:52] Stagnate
I won't give him any.
[14:56] Stagnate
This man is my enemy.
[14:59] Stagnate
He declared that he always would be.
[15:02] Stagnate
I have no reason to grant
him any protection.
[15:05] Valacirca
Oh?
[15:07] Stagnate
But surely you haven't
forgotten, Valacirca,
[15:11] Stagnate
where you are right now?
[15:14] Stagnate
Yes! This is the Iron Country!
[15:17] Stagnate
The mountains where the regretful souls
of the warriors of flame reside!
[15:22] Stagnate
Now is the time to return!
[15:25] Stagnate
Your compatriots,
your descendants, have come back!
[15:29] Stagnate
They have brought one who
is undeniably a hero
[15:32] Stagnate
to defeat the demons, challenge the dragon,
[15:35] Stagnate
and take back the mountains they call home!
[15:39] Stagnate
A warrior should not wander about, asleep,
and merely observe such an event!
[15:43] Stagnate
Now, take up the sword of vengeance!
[15:47] Stagnate
Set the flames of courage ablaze once more,
[15:51] Stagnate
dwarven warriors!
[16:17] Will
You haven't become undead, have you?
[16:20] Menel
Relax. We're alive.
[16:23] Al
Yes, as you can see.
[16:25] Reystov
Cut it pretty close, though.
[16:27] Menel
That solo battle of yours
distracted the dragon.
[16:30] Al
And then, with the protection
of our ancestral god...
[16:34] Al
It took a while, since I'm not used
to it, but I healed us all.
[16:37] Will
I see.
[16:39] Will
Al, when you were fighting that demon,
[16:42] Will
you earned the divine protection
of Blaze, god of fire.
[16:45] Al
Yes.
[16:47] Ghelreis
Sir William, what is this?
[16:50] Will
They're our allies.
Reinforcements we can rely on.
[17:14] Al
Grandfather...
[17:38] Will
Huh?
[17:40] Will
Shouldn't you give that to Al?
[18:01] Ghelreis
Calldawn.
[18:03] Ghelreis
An enchanted sword handed down among
the dwarfs since the age of gods,
[18:08] Ghelreis
and the blade that took
one of Valacirca's eyes.
[18:11] Aurvangr
Hero of the light...
[18:14] Aurvangr
Take care of my grandson...
and these mountains.
[18:18] Aurvangr
Please.
[18:24] Al
Grandfather!
[18:25] Reystov
Valacirca's flames burn
everything up, even souls.
[18:29] Al
No...
[18:31] Gracefeel
Not yet.
[18:33] Gracefeel
It's not over yet.
[18:40] Will
Goddess...
[18:42] Gracefeel
Hear me, you who cannot
preserve your souls.
[18:47] Gracefeel
You who have been burned
by the dragon's breath
[18:49] Gracefeel
and cannot return to the cycle of rebirth.
[18:52] Gracefeel
You who were born into this
world, who lived well,
[18:55] Gracefeel
and lived to the fullest.
[18:57] Gracefeel
I bestow upon you this final blessing.
[19:00] Gracefeel
If, even in death,
even after your souls have perished,
[19:03] Gracefeel
you still wish to pursue
what is good and right...
[19:06] Gracefeel
I shall guide you!
[19:08] Gracefeel
Gather under the heroes who
live in the present day!
[19:44] Al
Grandfather...
[19:47] Aurvangr
I will not apologize.
[19:51] Aurvangr
My grandson...
[19:53] Aurvangr
Look after our country,
and all of our people.
[19:57] Aurvangr
Please.
[20:04] Al
I will.
[20:09] Al
You can count on me.
[20:24] Stagnate
Sheesh...
[20:26] Stagnate
I guess she could never
let me have all the fun.
[20:38] Valacirca
It seems you are ready,
[20:41] Valacirca
Faraway Paladin.
[20:43] Will
You weren't just being nice, were you?
[20:48] Valacirca
Certainly not. I merely like
to let my wine age a bit.
[20:54] Valacirca
Once you have made your preparations
and gathered all you need,
[20:57] Valacirca
you, the heroes, come for me filled
with hope, and I crush you.
[21:03] Valacirca
The moment your faces distort in despair...
[21:07] Valacirca
For me, that is the greatest joy!
[21:15] Valacirca
Now, challenge me once
more, Faraway Paladin!
[21:20] Valacirca
Will I kill all of you and add a
new entry to a history of terror,
[21:25] Valacirca
or will you slay me and be celebrated
[21:29] Valacirca
for your tremendous feat
until the end of time?
[21:33] Valacirca
Now is the time to finish this battle!
[21:40] Will
I'm going.
[21:41] Gracefeel
Yes. I order you once more:
[21:45] Gracefeel
Go.
[21:46] Gracefeel
Slay the dragon and keep your promise,
[21:49] Gracefeel
my knight.
[21:52] Will
On my sword, on the light,
[21:55] Will
on the souls of the warriors
that dwell within my chest...
[21:59] Will
I will slay the evil dragon!

Huh?

[05:35] Menel
Hey, can you talk?
[05:37] Menel
Will, do you know what's going on?
[05:40] Will
I'm fine, Menel.
[05:47] Menel
Don't get up yet.
[05:49] Will
No. I feel really good, for some reason.
[06:16] Menel
You saved us.
[06:17] Will
Thank you.
[06:19] Reystov
I appreciate your aid.
[06:22] Ghelreis
Farewell, my friends, my precursors.
[06:26] Ghelreis
The young master and I
will take over from here.
[06:30] Al
I will restore the Iron Country
to its former glory.
[06:49] Menel
What's wrong?
[06:50] Will
My body... seems weird.
[06:53] Menel
No kidding. Do you know how many
times you were turned to charcoal?
[06:57] Menel
Just rest.
[06:58] Will
No, I don't mean like that.
[07:05] Menel
Hey...
[07:07] Menel
Huh?!
[07:10] Will
What is this?
[07:12] Stagnate
You sucked up the dragon's life
force through your demonblade.
[07:15] Stagnate
It should be no surprise.
[07:17] Stagnate
Your body and soul were burned
red-hot by the dragon's breath,
[07:22] Stagnate
tempering you,
and his blood then hardened you.
[07:25] Will
Uh, what?
[07:26] Stagnate
To put it plainly,
[07:28] Stagnate
Valacirca's dragon factor has interwoven
itself deeply into your body and soul.
[07:33] Stagnate
Ordinary blades can no longer cut you,
[07:36] Stagnate
and weak Words will feel like
no more than a light breeze.
[07:40] Will
Um...
[07:41] Stagnate
However, this state does bring about
an increase in one's animal nature.
[07:46] Stagnate
Do not let this power make you arrogant,
[07:48] Stagnate
but make every effort to keep
the dragon factor quiet.
[07:51] Stagnate
If you do not, it will bring you to ruin.
[07:55] Stagnate
And I do not wish to see you
die such a pitiful death.
[07:59] Will
Stagnate...
[08:04] Stagnate
I carelessly used my power.
[08:08] Stagnate
But then, as I helped you slay
the dragon, you now owe me.
[08:12] Stagnate
It was not a bad trade-off.
[08:14] Stagnate
You do feel indebted to me, do you not?
[08:17] Will
Yes.
[08:18] Stagnate
Good.
[08:19] Stagnate
When dealing with a hero such as yourself,
[08:22] Stagnate
pinning you down and forcing you to yield
[08:25] Stagnate
is less effective than making you
feel grateful and indebted to me.
[08:29] Stagnate
It is a shame that Gracefeel guided
those dwarf warriors away,
[08:34] Stagnate
but why seek them out simply
to make trouble for you
[08:37] Stagnate
when asking for nothing and making
you more and more indebted to me
[08:40] Stagnate
will prove more profitable later?
[08:42] Will
That's exactly what scares me about you.
[08:47] Stagnate
Then I shall go now.
[08:49] Stagnate
And farewell to you, Gracefeel.
I have troubled you on this occasion.
[08:53] Gracefeel
Stagnate, goddess of the undead...
[08:55] Gracefeel
Will you not consider giving up on
your ideal? It is not too late.
[09:00] Gracefeel
Would you discard your undead powers
[09:02] Gracefeel
and work with me to guide souls once more?
[09:05] Gracefeel
If you would—
[09:07] Stagnate
Don't finish that thought.
And no, I will not.
[09:10] Stagnate
I will follow my own ideals.
[09:14] Gracefeel
I see.
[09:15] Gracefeel
Farewell, my elder sister.
[09:18] Stagnate
Yes. Farewell, my little sister.
[09:23] Stagnate
Well, then, William G. Maryblood...
[09:27] Stagnate
You now shine even more brightly as a hero,
[09:30] Stagnate
and you have acquired great power.
[09:33] Stagnate
But as light grows,
so too does the darkness.
[09:36] Stagnate
Do try to avoid becoming war-crazed
and detesting people,
[09:39] Stagnate
and keep your womanizing in check...
[09:41] Stagnate
Oh, dear, that's right.
You don't have a woman, do you?
[09:45] Will
Mind your own business!
[09:47] Stagnate
I understand that you have
devoted yourself to my sister,
[09:51] Stagnate
but you should have at least one mate.
[09:54] Stagnate
How else will I have the pleasure
of seducing your offspring?
[09:58] Will
That's the worst reason you
could give for saying that.
[10:00] Stagnate
In fact...
[10:01] Stagnate
If I create a female Echo one day,
[10:04] Stagnate
would you care to produce offspring with me?
[10:08] Stagnate
I am not requesting that you do so for me,
[10:12] Stagnate
but what harm could one child do?
[10:14] Stagnate
Rhea Silvia creates demigod children
with heroes all the time.
[10:21] Stagnate
Very well. I will give up for now.
[10:24] Stagnate
Also...
[10:26] Stagnate
I once asked if you would like
me to love you, did I not?
[10:31] Stagnate
That was a lie.
[10:53] Stagnate
I do love you, William G. Maryblood.
[11:05] Will
Um...
[11:07] Menel
Man, goddesses sure are impetuous.
[11:10] Menel
Be happy, Will.
[11:14] Gracefeel
My knight, and you heroes,
[11:17] Gracefeel
you have done well to slay the evil dragon.
[11:20] Gracefeel
Splendid work.
[11:23] Will
I really can't believe we won.
[11:26] Gracefeel
I shall reward your efforts.
[11:29] Gracefeel
If there is anything you desire, speak.
[11:32] Will
A wish...
[11:34] Al
If I may...
[11:35] Al
Goddess of light,
[11:37] Al
would it be possible to expel
the evil dragon's miasma
[11:40] Al
from the area around these
mountains, including Lothdor?
[11:43] Gracefeel
Now that the evil dragon is gone,
[11:45] Gracefeel
this request can be granted, to an extent.
[11:52] Al
Then I ask you:
[11:53] Al
please purify our homeland!
[11:56] Menel
I'll ask that as my request, too.
[11:59] Menel
Gotta think about Dine and her people.
[12:02] Ghelreis
I make the same request, for the
sake of my fallen compatriots.
[12:07] Reystov
I'm fine with that, too.
[12:09] Reystov
Just being able to fight the
dragon was enough for me.
[12:14] Will
Then I also....
[12:15] Will
request your purification and blessing.
[12:18] Gracefeel
I have heard your wishes.
[12:29] Gracefeel
Sorrow for those who have been lost...
[12:32] Gracefeel
Blessings upon those who are born...
[12:35] Gracefeel
Peace, prosperity, and joy upon the land.
[12:48] Gracefeel
Heroes who have slain the dragon,
[12:51] Gracefeel
you who have reclaimed and
restored this land...
[12:54] Gracefeel
May the blessing of the
light be with you always.
[13:09] Will
Let's clean up here and head home.
[13:11] Al
Of course. You should get
some rest, Sir Will.
[13:14] Al
We'll handle the rest.
[13:16] Will
No, I can't—
[13:17] Menel
Just rest, damn it.
[13:19] Menel
You're way too reckless, you know.
[13:22] Reystov
For real. I wasn't expecting you to
take a swing at a time like that.
[13:27] Reystov
It was a brilliant slash, though.
[13:29] Ghelreis
Indeed. I don't think I'll ever forget
that flash, bright as sunlight.
[13:36] Ghelreis
We must celebrate our victory
when we return home.
[13:38] Menel
Sounds good.
[13:39] Menel
We can invite the people of Lothdor
and have them play music for us.
[13:43] Al
That sounds wonderful!
And we'll have food and drink, too!
[13:47] Menel
Tonio and Bee probably have
it all prepared already.
[13:50] Menel
We can celebrate to our hearts' content.
[13:53] Will
I'm starting to look forward to it!
[14:07] Will
We took a few of the dragon's scales and
his treasure as proof of our conquest
[14:14] Will
and returned to town for a time.
[14:31] Elf Youth
Hey!
[14:35] Dine
You're safe?!
[14:37] Menel
Well, yeah. Can't you tell?
[14:39] Dine
I heard the dragon's roar,
and then suddenly, all was silent.
[14:43] Dine
Then a strange fire spread,
and the entire area was cleansed...
[14:49] Dine
Truly... I am so glad!
[15:06] Dine
I thought perhaps you wouldn't return.
[15:09] Menel
I'm not gonna die. I still have stuff to do.
[15:13] Dine
Like what?
[15:14] Menel
Well, rebuilding this place, for starters.
[15:17] Menel
The after-effects of the dragon's
miasma are still hanging on, right?
[15:20] Reystov
True. The miasma isn't completely gone.
[15:25] Reystov
There are still surviving demons, too.
[15:27] Elf Chief
You'll give some of the
dragon's treasure to us?
[15:30] Will
Yes. There's more than enough of it.
[15:34] Will
Use it to rebuild for the time being.
[15:36] Elf Chief
But I fear that would be...
[15:39] Ghelreis
I think we should take him up on his offer.
[15:42] Al
Now that we've taken back the mountains,
[15:44] Al
the former residents of the Iron
Country will surely return, as well.
[15:48] Al
We should work together to restore
our land to its former prosperity.
[15:55] Menel
But we don't want an influx of wealth
[15:57] Menel
throwing off the balance of money and goods.
[16:00] Menel
Consult with Tonio first.
[16:02] Al
Sure.
[16:03] Menel
We'll need to be ready to
take in new residents, too.
[16:07] Will
We won't run out of things
to do anytime soon.
[16:09] Menel
I don't really want to,
[16:12] Menel
but I guess I'll drop by the
forest where I was born
[16:14] Menel
and ask if they'll send some
skilled folks to help.
[16:18] Dine
Then, I'll go with you.
[16:20] Menel
You will?
[16:21] Dine
The one making the request should
be there to plead in person.
[16:25] Menel
Yeah, I guess so.
[16:27] Menel
Guess we'll cross the ocean
once spring comes, then.
[16:30] Menel
I gotta go with you, huh?
[16:31] Dine
Just admit you're happy!
[16:53] Will
Gus!
[16:54] Al
Wandering Sage!
[16:58] Gus
You're all here! You didn't die?!
[17:02] Gus
The flow of your mana seems odd.
[17:05] Gus
A dragon factor?
[17:08] Will
Nailed it, as always.
[17:18] Gus
That is a curse, you know.
[17:21] Will
I know. And I accept it.
[17:23] Gus
Well, as long as you understand.
[17:27] Gus
More importantly, go on and let them know.
[17:30] Will
Yeah.
[17:33] Will
I'm home.
[17:35] Will
I made it back from defeating the dragon.
[17:38] Will
You two saved me again.
[17:41] Will
Thank you.
[17:47] Al
Allow me to return the weapon you lent me.
[17:50] Gus
No need for that. Keep it.
I have no use for it.
[17:54] Al
But isn't it a memento
of your beloved comrade?
[18:00] Gus
How very sincere you are.
[18:03] Gus
It is because it belonged to my comrade
[18:05] Gus
that I cannot bring myself to
let it rot away in storage.
[18:09] Al
In that case, I accept
this gift with gratitude.
[18:12] Gus
Indeed. I'm sure there could be
no greater honor for that weapon
[18:16] Gus
than to serve the new king of the dwarfs.
[18:19] Will
Oh...
[18:21] Will
I'll return Calldawn.
[18:23] Al
That sword belongs to you, Sir Will.
[18:26] Will
No, I couldn't. It's been treasured
by the dwarfs for generations.
[18:30] Al
And they entrusted it to you.
[18:32] Al
Fierce battles are a hero's destiny.
[18:35] Al
Please make good use of that sword.
[18:42] Will
I'll take good care of it on loan
[18:44] Will
and return it to the Iron Country one day.
[18:47] Al
Right!
[18:47] Will
That makes it sound like even more
tough enemies will be coming my way...
[18:55] Will
Hello?!
[18:56] Reystov
Well, you know... Live strong.
[19:00] Reystov
I'll help you out a bit.
[19:01] Will
That doesn't make me feel much better...
[19:08] Will
Jeez!
[19:21] Tonio
Welcome back! How did it go?
[19:32] Will
We have slain the demons in the mountains,
[19:35] Will
as well as the evil dragon, Valacirca!
[19:45] Bee
Congratulations!
[19:46] Will
Bee!
[19:48] Bee
And everyone's okay? That's great!
[19:51] Bee
Wait, that's a dragon horn, isn't it?
[19:53] Bee
Let me see! I'm gonna write a song about it!
[19:56] Bee
Whoa, what's that? New equipment?
[19:58] Bee
It's awesome! Where did you get it?!
[20:02] Grendir
Young master...
[20:04] Grendir
You have grown into a fine man.
[20:06] Al
There are so many things I
want to tell all of you.
[20:09] Al
About the Iron Country,
[20:11] Al
about its brave warriors,
[20:13] Al
and about our great king.
[20:28] Anna
It's good to see you back.
[20:31] Reystov
Yeah.
[20:33] Tonio
All right, now. Our lord and
his companions must be tired.
[20:37] Tonio
They've just returned from
defeating a dragon, after all.
[20:40] Tonio
We must give them some time to rest...
[20:43] Tonio
and then kick off the party tomorrow!
[20:46] Will
We're celebrating the dragon's defeat.
[20:47] Will
Tomorrow, you can all eat, drink,
and sing to your hearts' content,
[20:51] Will
and help us celebrate!
[22:31] Glen
I'll give you a demon beast's head!
[22:34] Alex
D-Don't do it, Glen.
[22:36] Alex
It's dangerous.
[22:37] Glen
Shut up, Alex! Don't stop me!
[22:39] Will
Are you adventurers?
[22:42] Glen
So what if we are?
[22:44] Will
You can't handle the quests offered here.
[22:46] Will
You should try that shop over there.
[22:49] Glen
What?!
[22:50] Alex
Who are you?
[22:51] Will
And don't hold back on spending
money on good equipment.
[22:55] Will
Something like...
[23:02] Alex
Oh, wow! It has Signs!
[23:05] Glen
A magic dagger?!
[23:07] Will
It's yours.
[23:08] Will
It has Words of Light engraved in it,
[23:10] Will
so it'll work in place of a torch, too.
[23:12] Alex
Huh?
[23:14] Glen
What are you after?
[23:16] Will
Ah...
[23:17] Will
Okay, are you willing to listen
