[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!

[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!
