[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...

[02:49] Cernunnos     What has happened to my gatekeepers? [02:52] Menel     What do you think? [02:54] Cernunnos     I see, I see.

[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.

[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     De fumo ad fla— 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.

[02:28] (Flashback) Gus     Exactly what are the spirits? [02:31] (Flashback) Gus     Through the words of the Creator, [02:33] (Flashback) Gus     water, fire, wind, and trees came     into existence before man or the gods. [02:39] (Flashback) Gus     And all of them possessed a     definite will of their own. [02:42] (Flashback) Young Will     And those were the spirits? [02:44] (Flashback) Gus     Correct. [02:46] (Flashback) Gus     And because they had their own will, [02:48] (Flashback) Gus     they divided themselves into two lines. [02:50] (Flashback) Gus     One aligned themselves with     the unstable phenomena [02:53] (Flashback) Gus     that are the Lords of the Sea     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...

[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!

[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...

[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...

[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.

[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?

[05:54] 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.

[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? [21:56] Will     Stagnate...

SIGN    The Faraway Paladin SIGN    The Lord of the Rust Mountains SIGN    The Messenger in the Burial Chamber [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.

[02:18] 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... [07:03] Will     And this... is a trap. SIGN    Through Hardships to the Stars [07:16] Will     Well, let's go. [07:53] Menel     Hey! [07:56] Menel     Go on. [07:59] Will     Thanks! [08:16] Will     Blood! Mary! [08:26] Will     I've just come home! [08:27] Will     And I brought my friends and companions! [08:30] Will     I'll be back later, okay? [08:40] Will     Gus! I'm home! [08:48] Will     Huh? [08:49] Will     Gus? [09:02] Will     No... It couldn't be... [09:14] Gus     Carelessness is the greatest enemy, boy! [09:23] Gus     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.

[00:09] 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!

[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.

[03:28] 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.

[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!

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.

[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.

[02:25] 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.

[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     I will win! I will beat him! [15:17] Al     I swear on her light, and on his flames, [15:21] Al     that this denizen of the     mountains will defeat you!

[17:00] Al     On my vow... and on the     hopes of my brethren... [17:06] Al     I will... [17:12] Al     take back our homeland! [17:40] Al     I'll be taking back what you stole from us! [18:07] Blood     They go into battle with     their very souls on fire. [18:11] Blood     They don't fear death. [18:14] Al     I've taken out the enemy general! [18:22] Will     It's not over yet, Al!     Keep it up a little longer! [18:25] Al     Of course! [18:34] Will     We're nearing our limit. [18:39] Will     But this is their last commander! [18:47] Will     Discede! SIGN    Leave [18:59] Will     Ghelreis, stand guard. [19:02] Ghelreis     Right. [19:03] Will     Let's heal you. [19:21] Menel     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. [20:12] Will     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. [20:43] Will     The miasma is getting thicker and thicker. [20:46] Will     Everyone, be careful. [20:56] Ghelreis     This is the Great Cavern. [21:01] Will     Let's get searching. [21:14] Will     There he is! [21:17] Will     What is he... [21:33] Valacirca     So weak...

[02:32] Valacirca     I ask your name. [02:40] Valacirca     What is the matter? [02:43] Valacirca     Will you not give your name? [02:47] Valacirca     Can you not even speak? [02:52] Will     This is... [02:53] Will     an overwhelming predator... [03:13] (Flashback) Mary     You may try to deny feelings     like fear and anxiety, [03:16] (Flashback) Mary     but it won't make them go away. [03:18] (Flashback) Mary     What you need in order to     be confident is not pride, [03:23] (Flashback) Mary     and what you need in order to be     courageous is not false bravado. [03:32] (Flashback) Mary     Everything begins with acceptance. [03:50] Will     If you're going to ask someone's name, [03:52] Will     should you not give your own first? [03:55] Valacirca     Ah... [03:58] Valacirca     It would seem that [04:00] Valacirca     you are not one of the lowly rabble     who merely seek to plunder. [04:07] Valacirca     Then I shall give you my name. [04:10] Valacirca     I am the sickle of the gods:     Calamity's Sickle. [04:15] Valacirca     I was born with the last flicker of a star, [04:18] Valacirca     and my life is eternal. [04:22] Valacirca     I am the lord of miasma and sulfur, [04:24] Valacirca     and brother of the lava... [04:28] Valacirca     Valacirca. [04:34] Valacirca     Now, answer me, small one. [04:43] Will     My grandfather was the Wandering Sage. [04:45] Will     One of my parents, my father,     was the War Ogre of the star of Leo, [04:50] Will     and my mother was the beloved     daughter of Mater. [04:53] Will     I am known as the Light of the Hinterlands, [04:55] Will     the Faraway Paladin, [04:57] Will     disciple of Gracefeel, the goddess of flux: [05:00] Will     William G. Maryblood. [05:02] Will     It is an honor to make your acquaintance,     dragon of the age of gods. [05:13] Valacirca     What serendipity! [05:16] Valacirca     Those names fill me with nostalgia. [05:19] Will     Nostalgia? [05:20] Valacirca     Had they called on me     before the demons did, [05:26] Valacirca     perhaps we may have fought side by side. [05:34] Valacirca     I detect a faint hint of the god     of the undead's scent on you, [05:37] Valacirca     and you proclaim yourself a disciple     of the goddess of light. [05:41] Valacirca     I see. [05:43] Valacirca     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?!

[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!

[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. [21:44] Will     This dragon has fought every kind of     Word on every kind of battlefield, [21:49] Will     and defeated them all. [21:52] Will     This... [21:54] Will     This is... a dragon.

SIGN    The Faraway Paladin SIGN    The Lord of the Rust Mountains SIGN    The Evil Dragon and the Goddess [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.

[07:09] Will     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.

[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     to a long story, then? [23:21] Glen     A long story? [23:22] Will     Yeah. [23:23] Will     When a warrior gives someone a magic weapon, [23:26] Will     it's customary to explain     its history, after all. [23:30] Will     Are you listening? That dagger was     forged by dwarfs in ancient times, [23:35] Will     and was used to slay a chimera     and pierce a dragon's scales...
