[00:10] Will
    I've fought demons several times
    since I left the city of the dead.
[00:15] Will
    As someone trained by Blood and the others,
    and after fighting an undead god,
[00:19] Will
    everyday demon riffraff
    are no match for me.

[02:10] Will
    It's been quite a while since I departed,
[02:12] Will
    but I still haven't met any humans.
[02:15] Will
    All I see is the occasional wild animal
[02:17] Will
    and bizarre, distorted demons.
[02:22] Will
    It's so cold...
[02:24] Will
    It's been 200 years since Blood
    and the others were alive.
[02:28] Will
    Does that mean no humans have
    returned in 200 years?
[02:33] Will
    It's cold, but not cold enough for snow.
[03:13] Will
    No people here, I guess...
[03:21] Will
    A scar left by immense magic?
[03:26] Will
    Gracefeel, Goddess of Light...
[03:30] Will
    Bring peace and guidance to the
    wandering souls in this land.
[03:51] Will
    Yeah, of course.
[03:54] Will
    It has been 200 years.
[03:56] Will
    The terrain's gonna change.

[04:09] Will
    I'm running out of preserved food.
[04:12] Will
    I can get bread by praying
    for the blessing,
[04:14] Will
    and I can purify water,
    so I'll hold out for a while...
[04:20] Will
    but I hope I reach someplace
    populated soon.
[04:32] Will
    If I keep walking downriver,
    I should eventually...
[04:43] Will
    A demon? No!
[04:45] Will
    It's a huge boar!
[04:55] Will
    I should finish it...
[04:59] Will
    What's this?
[05:03] Will
    The same white fletching...
[05:06] Will
    A hunter?
[05:07] Will
    This is not an ideal scenario.
[05:09] Will
    We both found our weapons
    in a place like this.
[05:12] Will
    Depending on what he does...
[05:15] Will
    I finally met another person.
[05:17] Will
    I should show him I'm not a threat.
[05:19] Will
    Should I drop my weapon?
[05:21] Will
    He might attack, though.
[05:23] Will
    Pray for the blessing and show
    what a devout follower I am?
[05:26] Will
    That might be mistaken for an attack.
[05:30] Will
    I need to choose my words carefully.
[05:32] Will
    I'm an outsider with no way
    to prove my identity.
SIGN    When we meet, the stars gleam.
[05:43] Menel
    Ancient Elvish?
[05:45] Menel
    Are you related to the elves?
[05:47] Will
    No.
[05:48] Will
    But I could see that
    you're related to them.
[05:52] Will
    Your bow is elven, is it not?
[05:57] Menel
    Heh. Well, you're not wrong.
SIGN    Episode 6
    Archer of Beast Woods
[06:05] Menel
    Well, whatever.
[06:06] Menel
    Anyway, did you finish off that boar?
[06:09] Will
    Oh... Yes, it was me.
[06:11] Menel
    That was my quarry.
[06:14] Menel
    You took the kill from me.
[06:15] Will
    S—
[06:17] Will
    I almost said "sorry" out of
    habit from my previous life.
[06:21] Will
    You're right. It charged
    at me out of nowhere,
[06:25] Will
    so I had no choice but to protect myself.
[06:27] Will
    Still...
[06:28] Will
    This will take some negotiation.
[06:31] Will
    Since I'm the one who killed it,
[06:33] Will
    I believe I, at least,
    have that much right to it.
[06:39] Menel
    Well, you do have a point.
[06:42] Menel
    Oh, damn it. It's broken.
[06:44] Menel
    And I don't have many left...
[06:46] Will
    Is metal hard to come by?
[06:50] Will
    We negotiated a few other
    things after that.
[06:52] Will
    The silver-haired half-elf
    was a skilled negotiator,
[06:55] Will
    so I was sort of at his
    mercy for the most part,
[06:58] Will
    but he agreed to give
    me the boar's shoulder
[07:00] Will
    in exchange for helping him butcher it.
[07:03] Menel
    Wow, you know your stuff, huh?
[07:08] Will
    I'm sorry. You have my gratitude.
[07:11] Will
    We'll make good use of you.
[07:13] Menel
    You're pretty devoted.
[07:15] Menel
    Anyway...
[07:17] Menel
    The front leg is yours.
[07:20] Menel
    And that takes care of the portioning.
[07:22] Will
    Yeah.
[07:24] Menel
    I guess we should eat the liver, at least.
[07:27] Menel
    It'll go bad fast.
[07:28] Will
    Oh, I've got a pan we can use.
[07:34] Will
    Flammo Ignis.
SIGN    Burn, Flames
[07:37] Menel
    Hey, you're pretty good with your hands.
[07:39] Will
    Yeah, sorta.
[07:41] Will
    I should keep my magic a secret for now.
[07:45] Will
    So, now we just wait.
[07:47] Menel
    Yeah.
[07:49] Will
    Earth-Mother Mater,
[07:50] Will
    and all the virtuous gods,
[07:52] Will
    we give thanks for your grace
    as we partake in this meal.
[07:56] Will
    Please bless the food before us,
[07:59] Will
    that it may nourish our
    bodies and our souls.
[08:02] Menel
    You really are devoted, huh?
[08:05] Will
    He doesn't seem to be much of a believer.
[08:08] Menel
    Okay, let's eat.
[08:08] Will
    But I'm the one with memories of my past
    life, while he seems closer to nature.
[08:09] Will
    We give thanks for this bounty.
[08:11] Will
    Let's eat.
[08:17] Will
    Hot!
[08:18] Menel
    Good stuff!
[08:19] Will
    Ah, this is the best!
[08:24] Menel
    Huh?
[08:25] Menel
    You want directions?
[08:27] Will
    Well, I mean...
    It's kind of hard to explain...
[08:30] Will
    I'm not sure how to put it...
[08:31] Menel
    You don't look familiar, either.
[08:33] Menel
    Seriously, where are you from?
[08:36] Will
    Telling him I was raised in the ruins by
    three undead probably wouldn't help.
[08:41] Will
    I came from the south.
[08:43] Menel
    The south? Bro, there's nothing
    further south than this.
[08:46] Will
    Huh?
[08:47] Menel
    This is as far south as
    mankind has ever gone,
[08:49] Menel
    Beast Woods in Southmark.
[08:52] Will
    I did come from the south, though.
[08:54] Will
    It's a long story.
[08:56] Menel
    Oh, are you an adventurer who
    scrounges for treasures in ruins?
[09:00] Will
    Yeah, something like that.
[09:02] Menel
    And you got lost?
[09:04] Will
    Yeah.
[09:05] Menel
    I've never seen an adventurer
    as absent-minded as you.
[09:09] Menel
    Well, whatever.
[09:10] Menel
    Just keep following the river downstream,
[09:12] Menel
    and you'll reach a small
    town in a couple of days.
[09:15] Menel
    You can figure the rest out from there.
[09:17] Will
    Thanks.
[09:18] Menel
    Yeah, well, good luck.
[09:20] Will
    Hey, if it's on the way, can we stop
    by the settlement you're living in?
[09:29] Will
    Um...
[09:29] Menel
    No.
[09:30] Menel
    I don't wanna get involved
    with you for even a second.
[09:33] Menel
    Get a clue.
[09:35] Will
    Yeah, of course not.
[09:36] Will
    Who'd want a total stranger in armor
    like this following them home?
[09:40] Will
    Sorry.
[09:41] Menel
    So don't follow me.
[09:43] Will
    W-Will you be okay with no light?
[09:45] Menel
    That's nothing you need to worry about.
[09:53] Will
    Are those...
[09:55] Menel
    Fairies.
[09:57] Will
    I've never seen them before.
[09:58] Will
    They say elves, as followers
    of the goddess of fae,
[10:01] Will
    have a strong affinity
    with other fae minions.
[10:05] Will
    I guess that goes for him, too.
[10:06] Menel
    Later.
[10:07] Will
    Uh... I'm Will.
[10:09] Will
    William G. Maryblood.
[10:11] Will
    What's your name?
[10:13] Menel
    Menel. Meneldor.
[10:16] Menel
    Not that we'll ever see each other again.
[10:19] Menel
    Try not to die on the road.
[10:25] Will
    Meneldor...
[10:27] Will
    In Elvish, I think that means
    "a very fast-flying eagle."
[10:31] Will
    He was a bit crude, but it
    was fun talking to him.
[10:36] Will
    He looked around my age, but they
    say half-elves are long-lived,
[10:40] Will
    so he might be a lot older than me.
[10:44] Will
    Oh, right... I should be close to a town.
[10:51] Will
    If I'll be getting more soon,
    I might as well indulge tonight.
[10:58] Will
    I'll start by heading
    downriver to the town,
[11:01] Will
    and I'll try to get some information there.
[11:10] Gracefeel
    O light, my light...
[11:14] Gracefeel
    As you travel, I pray:
[11:18] Gracefeel
    bring light to the faraway darkness.
[11:29] Will
    Menel!
[11:32] Will
    Was that... a divine revelation?

    I thought I saw something

[12:12] Youth
    Sure you weren't just seeing things?
[12:15] Will
    Thank goodness. If I tell
    them I know Menel—

    Wha—
[12:20] Will
    Hide! Get behind me!
[12:22] John
    Huh?!
[12:22] Will
    Hurry!
[12:26] Will
    Raiders?!
[12:28] Will
    Menel's village is going to be attacked?
[12:30] Will
    Menel's going to caught up in a disaster?
[12:33] Will
    No... How a divine revelation is
    interpreted is up to the interpreter!
[12:38] Will
    It can't be...
[12:41] Will
    How could I have been such a fool?
[12:44] Will
    Meneldor isn't the victim of this tragedy.
[12:48] Will
    He's the perpetrator.
[12:51] Menel
    Go. Secure the village.
[12:53] Menel
    I'll deal with this one.
[12:56] Will
    Menel! Why?!
[12:57] Menel
    I told you not to follow me.
[13:01] Menel
    Die.
[13:05] Youth
    Everyone! Wake up! Wake up!

    In that case...
[13:27] Menel
    Huh?!
[13:28] Will
    He doesn't even realize
[13:29] Will
    that if your muscles are built up enough,
[13:32] Will
    you can solve most any problem by force!
[13:35] Menel
    Damn it!
[13:36] Menel
    Salamander, burn him alive!
[13:42] Menel
    Seriously?!
[13:47] Menel
    You're really damn strong.

    I need to subdue them all before
    anyone gets hurt or killed.

[14:05] VillagerA
    I'm telling you...
[14:06] VillagerB
    We oughta string them up!
[14:06] VillagerD
    First off... Hey! I said first off...
[14:07] VillagerC
    Listen to me!
[14:09] VillagerA
    They attacked us outta nowhere!
[14:11] VillagerC
    Look, in the first place...
[14:13] John
    Hate to let a warrior priest
    see us actin' like this.
[14:16] John
    Thank you again for your help earlier.
[14:19] John
    My name's John.
[14:21] Will
    My name is William.
[14:23] John
    Folks from many places, all with different
    ideas about law, drift to this village naturally.
[14:27] John
    It's always like this.
[14:30] Will
    This village is in an area of
    Southmark known as Beast Woods,
[14:33] Will
    and it apparently falls under the
    rule of the Fertile Kingdom.
[14:36] Will
    But the law and authority of the kingdom
    doesn't reach these dangerous remote regions,
[14:41] Will
    so the area is dotted with villages populated
    by criminals, fugitives with no relatives,
[14:47] Will
    adventures who scavenge the
    ruins, and other outsiders.
[14:50] John
    Of course, I'm one of them myself.
[14:55] Will
    What's going to happen to them?
[14:58] John
    I don't know, either.
[15:02] John
    They're from a neighboring village
    about a day's travel from here.
[15:06] Will
    A neighboring village?
[15:08] John
    Neither of our villages
    are all that well-off,
[15:10] John
    but I thought they, at least,
    had enough stored up for the winter.
[15:13] John
    And we've always gotten
    along well enough...
[15:16] John
    Also, that silver-haired half-elf is a
    well-known wandering hunter in these parts.
[15:22] John
    He's helped us get rid of dangerous
    beasts lots of times, but now...
[15:26] Tom
    Now, now.
[15:28] Tom
    I'm sure everyone's worn out
    from all this talking.
[15:31] Tom
    Take a break and have some water.
[15:34] John
    This is Tom, our chief elder.
[15:36] Tom
    Warrior priest, John has told me about you.
[15:41] Tom
    Allow this old man to offer
    his gratitude, as well.
[15:44] Will
    Oh, no. This is all thanks to the
    guidance of the goddess of light.
[15:49] Tom
    Ah...
[15:50] Tom
    In that case, I must thank
    this goddess, as well.
[15:55] Tom
    Now, warrior priest...
[15:59] Tom
    Can I assume that if anything were to
    happen here, you would protect us?
[16:08] Will
    Yes.
[16:09] Will
    I swear on Gracefeel's light that
    I will protect everyone here.
[16:14] Tom
    Then we don't need to worry about our
    safety if those ruffians attack again.
[16:19] Tom
    Everyone, I believe we should wake
    them and ask why they've done this.
[16:24] Tom
    Do you agree?
[16:25] VillagerA
    We should hang them!
[16:26] VillagerB
    That'll be hard to do if you get attached.
[16:28] VillagerC
    Guys like them oughta be ended quick!
[16:30] Tom
    But it's dangerous to do that
    before we know anything.
[16:34] Tom
    The warrior priest will help us.
[16:37] Will
    It seems like he wants to question
    them before proceeding.
[16:42] GuyD
    Demons. Our village was
    destroyed by demons.
[16:45] GuyA
    Many died. Half of our village.
[16:49] GuyB
    With our women, children, and wounded,
[16:51] GuyB
    we were left with no food or
    shelter in the cold of winter.
[16:55] GuyC
    If we're doomed to die with only the shirts
    on our backs, then we might as well...
[17:01] Menel
    I'm the one who suggested the raid.
[17:03] Menel
    We wouldn't stand a chance
    fighting the demons.
[17:06] Menel
    I said we'd be better off looting a village and
    going somewhere, anywhere, than just dying.
[17:12] Menel
    An old lady in that village,
    Marple, helped me out a lot.
[17:16] Tom
    What became of Marple?
[17:19] Menel
    She died.
[17:22] Tom
    I see.
[17:23] Menel
    Just hang me. It was my idea.
[17:27] Menel
    I deceived these guys, that's all.
[17:29] Menel
    Let them go.
[17:32] Menel
    Please.
[17:33] VillagerA
    No way we can do that!
[17:34] VillagerB
    Like hell!
[17:35] VillagerE
    Hang 'em all!
[17:37] Tom
    We owe a debt to this hunter.
[17:40] Tom
    And I sympathize with the
    people of your village.
[17:45] Tom
    However...
[17:46] Tom
    We have no choice but to hang you.
[17:52] Will
    Since they have nowhere to go,
[17:54] Will
    if they're set free,
    they'll just loot again.
[17:57] Will
    They have to be killed,
    for the safety of the village.
[18:01] Will
    That's the smart choice.
[18:03] Will
    But my mother told me,
[18:07] Will
    "Love others without fear of
    loss, and do good things."
[18:12] Will
    And my father told me,
[18:13] Will
    "Move forward with faith
    in the results you'll achieve,"
[18:16] Will
    and "Don't get so stressed
    that you freeze in place."
[18:19] Will
    I still carry their words
    with me, right here.
[18:23] Will
    Excuse me!
[18:26] Will
    I will overturn this hopeless
    situation before me.
[18:30] Will
    Can this be resolved with money?
[18:34] Will
    Compensation, monetary atonement...
[18:36] Will
    Do you have that custom here?
[18:38] VillagerA
    Well, yeah, we do...
[18:40] VillagerB
    But who's gonna pay that?
[18:42] VillagerC
    These guys are flat broke.
[18:43] Will
    I'll pay the money.
[18:50] Tom
    Why do this, warrior priest?
[18:53] Will
    Because demons are my archenemies.
[18:57] Will
    They killed my parents.
[18:59] Will
    Plus, I swore to the goddess
    of light that I would
[19:02] Will
    banish evil and save the suffering.
[19:05] Will
    We should assist those who have
    suffered at the hands of demons.
[19:10] Will
    We can't allow a village
    occupied by demons to exist.
[19:13] Will
    I'll go and fight them.
[19:15] Will
    And I would like to hire that
    young man there to accompany me.
[19:22] Will
    He is an excellent hunter who
    knows this forest, right?
[19:25] Will
    I will need his talents to
    help me pursue the demons.
[19:29] Will
    Of course, I will pay handsomely.
[19:31] Tom
    Are you sure about this?
[19:33] John
    I feel like we're the only ones
    benefiting from this deal...
[19:36] Will
    It must be a reward for your
    exemplary day-to-day conduct.
[19:41] Will
    Gracefeel, the goddess of light who governs
    souls and the cycle of death and rebirth,
[19:46] Will
    is always looking upon your daily
    lives with compassionate eyes.
[19:53] Villagers
    Wow...
[19:54] Villagers
    What is this?
[19:59] Tom
    Untie them.
[20:01] John
    Right!
[20:03] Will
    I managed to overcome that... I think?
[20:08] Will
    I had a feeling that, somewhere,
    some god was giving me a tiny smile.
[20:15] Will
    The people of the village that was attacked
[20:17] Will
    took in all of the villagers who
    weren't involved in the raid.
[20:21] Will
    Part of it was to use them as hostages,
    I'm sure, but safe is safe.
[20:26] Menel
    What are you after?
[20:29] Will
    I'm not hiding anything.
    I meant what I said.
[20:32] Menel
    Because you're a warrior priest?
[20:35] Will
    Well...
[20:36] Will
    Oh, I almost forgot.
    I know it's already after the fact,
[20:39] Will
    but you will let me hire you to take back
    the village and destroy the demons, right?
[20:43] Menel
    I'm the guy who instigated
    a raid and murder.
[20:47] Menel
    You don't think I should be punished?
[20:49] Will
    I already cleared your debt
    by paying reparations.
[20:52] Will
    Besides, it was the only way you could
    help those starving people, right?
[20:56] Menel
    You don't think I might betray you?
[20:58] Will
    If you do, it's the people of the
    neighboring village who'll suffer.
[21:02] Menel
    You're too damn nice.
[21:04] Menel
    One of these days, you'll be
    picked apart and left for dead.
[21:07] Will
    W-Well, I'll be careful.
[21:10] Menel
    Okay, sure. I'll work for you.
[21:13] Menel
    I do need money, after all.
[21:15] Will
    Thanks.
[21:25] Menel
    So what are you gonna
    do for the time being,
[21:27] Menel
    boss?
[21:29] Will
    The demons have occupied the
    neighboring village, right?
[21:35] Will
    I guess we'll just charge in.
    We don't have much time.
[21:38] Menel
    Whoa, are you insane?
[21:40] Menel
    There are a lot of them,
    and they've got demon beasts.
[21:42] Menel
    You got a plan? What are our odds?
[21:44] Will
    It'll be fine. I'm used to them.
[21:48] Menel
    Well, you're right that we gotta hurry.
[21:51] Menel
    The people who died might've
    turned undead by now.
[21:55] Will
    If that's true, I need to
    return them to the cycle
[22:00] Will
    before they get lost and end up stuck here.
