[00:00] Will
    Al, here.
[00:07] Menel
    What's up with that dagger?
[00:09] Menel
    Isn't the hook on the wrong side?
[00:11] Al
    You're right. It is an unusual design.
[00:14] Will
    It's a right-handed stiletto.
[00:16] Will
    Since the halberd is strong, but unwieldy.
[00:18] Al
    And... who did this dagger belong to?
[00:21] Will
    My father.
[00:24] Al
    I can't accept this!
[00:26] Al
    It's a memento, isn't it?
[00:29] Will
    Yeah, but...
[00:31] Will
    I feel like it's better off
    in your hands, somehow.
[00:39] Will
    It's okay.
[00:41] Will
    I've already received plenty
    of valuable things from him.

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