**[00:02] Will**
This looks bad.
**[00:03] Villager1**
They got all of the livestock,
**[00:06] Villager1**
and they destroyed a bunch of
tools that can't be replaced.
**[00:09] Villager2**
We'll have to go to Whitesails to buy more.
**[00:12] Menel**
With what money?
**[00:13] Villager1**
Well, we won't be able
to replace everything.
**[00:16] Will**
Um... what is Whitesails?
**[00:20] Menel**
Seriously, who *are* you?
**[00:23] Menel**
Could you be any more sheltered?
**[00:24] Will**
Sorry.
**[00:26] Menel**
Uh, so... Whitesails is...
**[00:29] Will**
Oh, um... if you could tell me about
the history of this place, too...
**[00:32] Menel**
Yeah, fine.
**[00:34] Menel**
You know this is the remote southern
continent known as Southmark, right?
**[00:38] Will**
Yes, that I know.
**[00:40] Menel**
So around... two hundred years ago, was it?
**[00:42] Menel**
Southmark was engulfed
by a horde of demons.
**[00:45] Menel**
The Hundred Heroes took out
the king of the demons,
**[00:49] Menel**
but the humans abandoned this continent,
**[00:51] Menel**
crossing the sea to retreat
to Grassland in the north.
**[00:54] Menel**
* The Hundred Heroes...*
* That's Blood and his buddies.*
**[00:58] Menel**
Since the Fertile Kingdom unified the
southwestern region of Grassland,
**[01:02] Menel**
they've been cultivating the land with
the intention of reclaiming it.
**[01:05] Menel**
And Whitesails is the port town that became
the center for immigration from the north.
**[01:11] Will**
I see.
**[01:12] Menel**
A lot of folks with histories
and aspiring heroes go there.
**[01:16] Menel**
People who've received
divine revelations, too.
**[01:19] Menel**
You're hoping to gather more faithful
on this trip, too, right?
**[01:21] Menel**
Gracefeel used to have a lot of devoted
followers on the southern continent.
**[01:26] Will**
Could you tell me more?
**[01:27] Menel**
I think her followers were scattered
in the Great Collapse...
**[01:32] Villager1**
Yeah, that's right.
**[01:33] Villager1**
And the ones who managed to escape
to Grassland kept her name alive.
**[01:38] Villager2**
But still, her following
has declined a lot.
**[01:41] Will**
*Rampant demons and demon beasts,*
**[01:43] Will**
*villages that resort to thievery,*
**[01:45] Will**
*faith in the goddess dying out...*
**[01:47] Will**
Was doing something about all this
the mission the goddess gave me?
**[01:53] Menel**
Anyway, enough with the old legends.
**[01:55] Will**
We need to deal with the village first.
**[01:57] Menel**
Yeah, about that...
**[02:00] Menel**
The people of this village have no money.
**[02:02] Will**
Menel, wanna go explore some ruins?
**[02:05] Will**
We'll divide the loot evenly.
**[02:07] Menel**
Huh?
***SIGN*** The Faraway Paladin
**[03:39] Menel**
I never would've guessed you'd
be so good at scavenging ruins!
**[03:42] Will**
I'm used to them.
**[03:44] Menel**
Seriously, who *are* you, anyway?
**[03:46] Menel**
We did get enough money to
rebuild because of it, though.
**[03:49] Menel**
We can even buy new livestock and tools.
**[03:51] Will**
I made up for my own expenses, too.
**[03:54] Will**
I can't wait to get to town.
**[03:56] Menel**
When we do, the first thing
we gotta do is eat.
**[03:58] Menel**
The seafood in season right now is—
**[04:01] Tonio**
Someone!
**[04:02] Tonio**
Help!
**[04:06] Will**
A giant ape!
**[04:08] Bee**
Hey! What are you doing?!
**[04:09] Menel**
The two running from it are a
halfling and... is that a hawker?
**[04:11] Bee**
Just throw that away already!
**[04:13] Tonio**
But—
**[04:14] Bee**
No ifs, ands, or buts!
**[04:15] Bee**
Oh, for crying out loud! Over here, you!
**[04:23] Bee**
Come here!
**[04:25] Bee**
Huh?
**[04:27] Bee**
Who are you?
**[04:29] Bee**
Wait, that's dangerous!
**[04:31] Will**
*Blood told me*
**[04:33] Will**
*that when facing a wild animal,*
**[04:34] Will**
*the moment you break eye contact, you lose.*
**[04:38] Will**
*Well, come at me if you're going to.*
**[04:40] Will**
*We can do a little wrestling.*
**[05:01] Will**
Thank goodness. I didn't have to fight it.
**[05:04] Will**
Are you okay?
**[05:05] Bee**
Hey, who the heck are you?! An adventurer?!
**[05:08] Bee**
Not many people can stop an agitated
giant ape just by looking at it!
**[05:11] Bee**
You're awesome! Awesome!
**[05:13] Bee**
Oh! I'm Robina! Robina Goodfellow!
**[05:16] Bee**
I'm a troubadour! I sing, I dance,
I go where the wind takes me!
**[05:19] Bee**
You can call me Bee!
**[05:21] Bee**
And that dork over there
is Antonio the hawker.
**[05:23] Bee**
I call him Tonio!
**[05:25] Bee**
The company he worked for went under,
**[05:27] Bee**
so now he passes himself off as a
hawker on remote country roads!
**[05:31] Tonio**
I didn't even get a chance to speak.
**[05:34] Tonio**
I'm on my way back to
Whitesails, my home base.
**[05:38] Will**
Whitesails?
**[05:39] Tonio**
Boy, you really saved our hides.
**[05:41] Tonio**
Thank you so much.
**[05:44] Menel**
I'm Meneldor. I hunt around here.
**[05:47] Menel**
We were just heading toward the
town to do some shopping.
**[05:49] Will**
And that's...
**[05:51] Will**
William. William G. Maryblood.
**[05:54] Will**
I'm a priest in service to Gracefeel,
the goddess of light.
**[05:58] Will**
You can call me Will.
**[05:59] Bee**
Wow, that's a totally noble-sounding name!
**[06:01] Bee**
And Gracefeel's the one they love
in the southern continent, right?
**[06:04] Bee**
Wow, wow! I didn't know
she still had priests!
**[06:07] Bee**
And you're not just a priest, but a
capable warrior priest! Aren't you?
**[06:09] Bee**
Aren't you?! Aren't you?!
**[06:11] Menel**
Yeah, he may look pretty spacey,
but he's stupidly skilled.
**[06:15] Menel**
I mean, I hardly ever get attacked by
any beasts when I'm walking with him.
**[06:19] Bee**
You mean the beasts know how
strong he is and avoid him?!
**[06:22] Bee**
What the heck?! That's so cool!
**[06:24] Will**
What? You usually see more?
**[06:26] Tonio**
Of course.
**[06:28] Tonio**
That's why this place
is called Beast Woods.
**[06:30] Will**
* It feels like their eyes*
* are piercing me...*
**[06:33] Menel**
Anyway, is it just the two of you?
**[06:35] Menel**
No escort? Or were they killed?
**[06:37] Tonio**
Actually, when we ran into
that giant ape back there...
**[06:41] Tonio**
I'm embarrassed to say that they ran away.
**[06:45] Menel**
Some guys who were there for show conned
you out of their up-front pay and bolted?
**[06:48] Menel**
You gotta get some better
judgment, peddler.
**[06:52] Tonio**
I'm so ashamed...
**[06:53] Bee**
And they made a big ol' racket
when they ran! It was nuts!
**[06:57] Bee**
Giant apes don't even attack people,
usually. They just *look* scary!
**[07:01] Will**
*They both lost their guards?*
**[07:04] Will**
What are you going to do now?
**[07:05] Menel**
We could take you with us, if you want.
**[07:08] Menel**
We'll just say you owe us one.
**[07:11] Menel**
I'll do the deal-making, not you.
**[07:14] Tonio**
Owe you one... of what?
**[07:17] Menel**
We want to buy some cows and
horses and such in Whitesails.
**[07:20] Tonio**
Ah, I get it.
**[07:22] Tonio**
If that's what you want, I'm glad to help.
**[07:25] Tonio**
I'll introduce you to a dealer I know.
**[07:27] Menel**
We appreciate it. And sorry for butting in.
**[07:31] Menel**
He doesn't know much about how
the world works, you see.
**[07:33] Bee**
Oh, so he really was born a noble?
**[07:36] Bee**
He has that air about him!
Like he's pure and untainted!
**[07:40] Will**
N-Nah...
**[07:41] Will**
If I told you about my origins,
I doubt you'd even believe me...
**[07:45] Bee**
You mean you're of such noble birth that
you can't talk about your family?!
**[07:49] Bee**
And a priest to an unsung god, no less!
**[07:52] Bee**
Wow, that's fantastic! Fantastic!
**[07:54] Bee**
My bardic heart is filling
with inspiration!
**[07:57] Will**
R-Right...
**[07:58] Will**
* Wait... No matter what I say,*
* it leads to misunderstandings...*
**[08:02] Will**
*What?*
**[08:03] Menel**
Okay, that's settled. Let's get moving.
**[08:06] Bee**
Yeah! Let's go, let's go!
**[08:16] Bee**
Oh, this place looks perfect!
**[08:18] Bee**
Whee! Here I am!
**[08:21] Will**
*Bee and Tonio warmed up to me quickly.*
**[08:24] Will**
* Tonio has a gentle demeanor, and he's*
* good at getting close to others.*
**[08:28] Will**
* As for Bee, she doesn't seem to have*
* any concept of distance from people.*
**[08:32] Bee**
Okay, I guess it's time
to give you all a song!
**[08:36] Bee**
Will, clap along for me,
and collect any donations!
**[08:39] Will**
Sure. You can count on me, Bee.
**[08:49] Bee**
*Listen now to the notes of my song*
**[08:55] Will**
It's amazing.
**[08:57] Will**
Every time we walk into a village,
she goes wild and gets everyone in on it.
**[08:57] Bee**
*As my words ring out by the silently burning fire*
**[09:00] Menel**
She's always like that.
I'm impressed she doesn't get tired.
**[09:03] Tonio BG**
I see.
**[09:04] Tonio BG**
Then these items here should
fulfill your needs.
**[09:05] Menel**
They make a good combination
for doing business.
**[09:05] Bee**
*Gloriously blooming spirits of spring*
**[09:08] Will**
Huh?
**[09:08] Menel**
A lot of hawkers use high-pressure
tactics or even petty thievery.
**[09:09] Tonio BG**
She's hurt?
**[09:11] Tonio BG**
Let's see if I can get the
priest to take a look at it.
**[09:13] Bee**
*Joyfully laugh and dance*
**[09:13] Will**
I see...
**[09:14] Menel**
Looks like he wasn't lying
about working for a company.
**[09:17] Tonio**
Hey, Will...
**[09:18] Tonio**
there's something I'd like to ask you.
**[09:20] Bee**
*Gloriously blooming spirits of spring*
**[09:21] Will**
What is it?
**[09:23] Tonio**
Can the blessing you invoke
heal sickness and injury?
**[09:28] Will**
Yes, it can.
**[09:28] Bee**
*Joyfully laugh and dance*
**[09:29] Tonio**
I see. Then I have a proposal for you.
**[09:33] Will**
Goddess of Light...
**[09:36] Will**
You're all better now.
**[09:39] Mom**
U-Um... How much do I owe you?
**[09:43] Will**
Oh, don't worry about that.
**[09:45] Will**
You can offer your gratitude to Gracefeel.
**[09:47] Will**
And if Tonio has anything you like,
please buy something from him.
**[09:51] Will**
I'm still just in training.
**[09:54] Mom**
Okay! Thank you so much!
**[09:57] Mom**
We'll get something to
celebrate your recovery.
**[10:00] Tonio**
How about this hair ornament?
**[10:03] Menel**
So Bee attracts people, Will offers
healing, and both bring him business.
**[10:08] Menel**
That Tonio's pretty smart.
**[10:10] Will**
Yeah. And it'll help with the return
of the goddess of light, too.
**[10:14] Menel**
That power of yours is pretty
damn impressive, though.
**[10:16] Will**
Well, the blessing is a rewrite of
reality through the power of a god.
**[10:21] Will**
That's how it can heal a wound
as if it had never happened.
**[10:24] Menel**
Huh...
**[10:25] Will**
I'm borrowing this power from the goddess.
**[10:28] Will**
I have to be careful not to
mistake it for my own power.
**[10:32] Will**
Wh-What?
**[10:34] Menel**
Still in training, huh?
**[10:36] Will**
Er... I really am still training.
**[10:39] Bee**
Will!
**[10:40] Bee**
Done with your free treatments?
**[10:41] Will**
Oh, yeah.
**[10:42] Bee**
Then come with me!
**[10:44] Will**
Huh? What for?
**[10:44] Bee**
There's a party to celebrate
everyone's recovery!
**[10:47] Will**
Right now?!
**[10:48] Menel**
If they're at the party,
she can sing again,
**[10:50] Menel**
and he can sell more goods.
**[10:52] Menel**
He really is a good salesman.
**[10:57] Will**
* We continued to pass through several*
* villages, earning money in the same way,*
**[11:02] Will**
* as we made our way north*
* for a couple of weeks.*
**[11:04] Will**
*Then we emerged onto Wheat Road.*
**[11:09] Menel**
Let's sleep over there tonight.
**[11:12] Menel**
Man, you guys went too
crazy. It's already dark.
**[11:16] Will**
Sorry about that.
**[11:17] Bee**
I'm in a good mood today!
**[11:20] Bee**
I'll give you a free performance!
**[11:22] Menel**
Wow, how generous of you.
**[11:24] Bee**
Hee hee! Now, what should I sing, I wonder?
**[11:27] Bee**
"Reystov the Penetrator" is
too common these days...
**[11:33] Bee**
I know! How about the epic of the *Three Heroes* from *The Killing of the High King*,
**[11:36] Bee**
*The Wandering Sage*, *The War Ogre*,
and *The Beloved Daughter of Mater*?
**[11:42] Tonio**
Ah, that sounds great.
**[11:43] Menel**
It's a fitting subject.
**[11:46] Bee**
I guess I haven't performed it for a while.
**[11:48] Bee**
Hey, what's wrong, Will?
**[11:50] Will**
Oh, it's nothing.
**[11:52] Will**
Go ahead and sing it. I'd love to hear it.
**[11:54] Bee**
Oh, I like that! You latched right on!
**[11:57] Bee**
Okay, let's get started!
**[12:00] Bee**
Time passes by... no, perhaps
it is us who pass by.
**[12:04] Bee**
Be it the strong warrior, the brilliant sage,
or the holy woman,
**[12:09] Bee**
with the turning of the moons, naught but
their ashes and their names remain.
**[12:09] Will**
*Their names really are remembered...*
**[12:14] Bee**
This is precisely why their
song must be lifted up high,
**[12:17] Bee**
with a prayer that their
deeds live forever,
**[12:19] Bee**
that their heroic names resound
throughout the world.
**[12:22] Bee**
I sing this night of the Wyvern Killer,
**[12:25] Bee**
one of the many heroic exploits
of the Three Heroes.
***SIGN*** Episode 8
Songs of Heroism
**[12:28] Bee**
Keep quiet, now, and listen, all of you...
**[12:37] Bee**
*Carrying the demonblade forged by the stars,*
**[12:43] Will**
*Jeez, Blood...*
**[12:43] Bee**
*onward walks the man with fiery red hair.*
**[12:44] Will**
*You never talked about yourself at all.*
**[12:47] Will**
*So this is what you did in your past.*
**[12:49] Bee**
*He has cast aside all names man has given him*
**[12:54] Bee**
*As time has passed, now no one knows*
**[13:00] Bee**
* The true name of the man*
* who walks in the fields*
**[13:02] Will**
* So I guess no one knows*
* Augustus's real name...*
**[13:06] Bee**
* When asked if she is*
* a princess from another land*
**[13:12] Bee**
*The healer merely smiles and does not answer*
**[13:16] Will**
* Mary's refined manner definitely gave*
* the impression of noble origins,*
**[13:20] Will**
* but I'd believe it if someone told me*
* she came from a poor village, too.*
**[13:26] Bee**
These days are now long in the past.
**[13:30] Bee**
O countless wishes now
left with no way home,
**[13:33] Bee**
I can but play your melody loudly,
to be carried on the passing winds.
**[13:39] Will**
* The story takes place before*
* they were known as heroes,*
**[13:42] Will**
* when the three of them*
* were traveling together.*
**[13:45] Will**
*A certain remote village that they visited*
**[13:47] Will**
*was attacked by a wyvern,*
**[13:50] Will**
* and a beautiful half-elf was chosen*
* as a sacrifice to appease it.*
**[13:54] Will**
* Upon hearing of this,*
* Mary said they should save her,*
**[13:58] Will**
* but Blood asked where they*
* could possibly get the money,*
**[14:00] Will**
*and Gus said nothing.*
**[14:03] Will**
* Their personalities in the*
* song are a bit off, I think.*
**[14:07] Will**
* But still, it brings their voices, words,*
* and expressions clearly to my mind.*
**[14:31] (Flashback) Mary**
Who are you?
**[14:35] (Flashback) Blood**
You think we're gonna take
on a wyvern for that?
**[14:44] (Flashback) Gus**
Ah, what fine money. Look how it shines.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Gus**
If we're given such fine payment...
**[14:51] (Flashback) Mary**
Then we have no choice but to do the job.
**[14:54] (Flashback) Blood**
Damn, you're such pushovers.
There's no profit in this.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Boy**
If it's not enough, I'll pay more!
**[14:59] (Flashback) Boy**
Sell me to a slave trader
or whatever you want!
**[15:01] (Flashback) Blood**
You think even that would be enough?
**[15:09] (Flashback) Blood**
But you do have some guts on ya.
**[15:10] (Flashback) Blood**
You're small, but you're a warrior.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Blood**
It's only right to help a warrior who
swallows his pride to ask for help.
**[15:19] (Flashback) Blood**
Let's do it.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Mary**
Yes.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Gus**
Indeed.
**[15:30] Gus**
Ligatur!
***SIGN*** Be Tied
**[15:31] Gus**
Nodus!
***SIGN*** Knot
***SIGN*** Binding
**[15:32] Gus**
Obligatio!
**[16:09] (Flashback) Blood**
So what're you gonna do now?
**[16:11] (Flashback) Mary**
Neither of you can stay
in that village anymore.
**[16:14] (Flashback) Boy**
We'll figure it out.
**[16:17] (Flashback) Blood**
Then take this with you.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Blood**
Old Gus here carved Words on it.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Blood**
It'll serve you better than
some cheap good luck charm.
**[16:24] (Flashback) Blood**
You can't be a warrior if you don't
have at least one dagger, after all.
**[16:28] (Flashback) Mary**
Take this, as well.
**[16:30] (Flashback) Mary**
Take care of yourselves, and of each other.
**[16:33] (Flashback) Mary**
You will face many difficulties,
**[16:35] (Flashback) Mary**
but never forget the value of perseverance.
**[16:38] (Flashback) Boy**
This is more than what I paid you!
**[16:40] (Flashback) Girl**
We can't accept this.
**[16:41] (Flashback) Gus**
Hah! Who said we were giving it to you?
**[16:44] (Flashback) Gus**
It's an investment.
We're only lending it to you.
**[16:47] (Flashback) Girl**
Lending?
**[16:48] (Flashback) Gus**
Listen.
**[16:49] (Flashback) Gus**
You two must live the best you can,
**[16:52] (Flashback) Gus**
build up savings, and make
names for yourselves.
**[16:54] (Flashback) Gus**
If your names someday reach our ears,
**[16:57] (Flashback) Gus**
we will come to collect what
we've lent you, plus interest.
**[17:01] (Flashback) Gus**
In preparation, I will
give you my real name.
**[17:05] (Flashback) Gus**
This will be our password. Listen well.
**[17:08] Bee**
Thus the boy and girl learned the
true name of the Wandering Sage,
**[17:12] Bee**
known to no one else in the world.
**[17:16] Bee**
Hand in hand, the boy and girl
made their way to the city,
**[17:20] Bee**
and the Three Heroes walked down the
road in search of a new adventure.
**[17:26] Bee**
That's the end of the song,
**[17:28] Bee**
but there's more to the story.
**[17:30] Bee**
Count Dagger of the Fertile Kingdom...
**[17:33] Bee**
His actual surname was Wizardsdagger.
**[17:36] Bee**
To this day, an elderly half-elf
woman still waits at his mansion.
**[17:41] Will**
*Does that mean...*
**[17:42] Bee**
She believes someone who knows the sage's
true name will come to her one day,
**[17:47] Bee**
so that she can return what he lent to her,
**[17:50] Bee**
along with what he lent to her husband.
**[17:53] Bee**
She plans to offer her thanks
to him when that day comes.
**[17:57] Bee**
That's what the story is about...
**[17:59] Bee**
A story of three great heroes
that still echoes to this day.
**[18:03] Bee**
Huh? Will, are you crying?
**[18:06] Will**
N-No, I'm not. I'm not crying.
**[18:09] Bee**
Aw, c'mon, now!
**[18:11] Bee**
You must've been really
moved by Bee's story, huh?
**[18:14] Will**
No, it's not that!
**[18:16] Bee**
Aw, don't be shy!
**[18:18] Will**
* There are still many people in this*
* world who remember you three.*
**[18:23] Will**
*There always were.*
**[18:25] Will**
*That makes me so happy.*
**[18:37] Will**
*The Fertile Kingdom, huh?*
**[18:39] Will**
* Once we cross the sea, we'll meet people who*
* still talk about Blood and the others.*
**[18:44] Tonio**
Hi there.
**[18:45] Tonio**
You're working hard.
**[18:48] Will**
Tonio.
**[18:51] Tonio**
Will, you are strong.
**[18:53] Will**
You think so?
**[18:55] Tonio**
I can clearly see how polished
your movements are.
**[18:59] Tonio**
Then again, maybe you don't
want to hear that from a guy
**[19:03] Tonio**
who got conned by phony adventurers...
**[19:05] Tonio**
But you're obviously used to
handling that fine dwarven spear.
**[19:10] Tonio**
Anyone who can wield a dwarven masterpiece
is a masterpiece themselves.
**[19:14] Tonio**
But there's one thing I don't understand.
**[19:17] Will**
Something you don't understand?
**[19:20] Tonio**
What is it that you want?
**[19:23] Will**
What do I... Why do you ask?
**[19:25] Tonio**
Because I'm a merchant.
**[19:28] Tonio**
It's my job to move merchandise
and grant people's wishes
**[19:33] Tonio**
in exchange for fair compensation.
**[19:36] Tonio**
You are quite a mystery.
**[19:39] Tonio**
I've never met anyone like you before.
**[19:42] Tonio**
You are strong, and you have courage.
**[19:45] Tonio**
You have good manners, you are educated,
**[19:47] Tonio**
and you aren't hurting for money.
**[19:50] Tonio**
But you're not quite like a noble.
**[19:52] Tonio**
You're more like a holy knight
I've heard stories about.
**[19:57] Tonio**
Which is why I decided to ask you directly.
**[20:01] Tonio**
What is it that you,
as an individual, wish for?
**[20:05] Tonio**
Or are you strictly a representative
for your goddess?
**[20:10] Will**
Um... I...
**[20:12] Will**
I had a happy little life up until now,
**[20:16] Will**
but I lost it shortly before
I set out on my own.
**[20:19] Will**
I gained the divine protection of
the goddess of light in its place.
**[20:24] Will**
I still don't know anything
about this world.
**[20:27] Will**
So I want to start by learning about it.
**[20:30] Will**
I think that, among the things I learn,
**[20:32] Will**
I'll find what it is I want.
**[20:35] Will**
Oh... and friends.
I also want companions, I guess.
**[20:40] Tonio**
Is Menel not your friend?
**[20:43] Will**
Well, actually...
**[20:44] Will**
I think we get along fairly well,
**[20:47] Will**
but he won't acknowledge me as a friend.
**[20:50] Will**
He just calls me "priest,"
like he's putting me on a pedestal.
**[20:55] Will**
Yeah... I want friends.
**[20:59] Tonio**
I see.
**[21:00] Tonio**
Then perhaps I'll volunteer for
the third-place position.
**[21:04] Will**
Huh?
**[21:05] Tonio**
Menel and Robina would be angry
if I tried to get ahead of them.
**[21:09] Tonio**
That would be scary.
**[21:14] Tonio**
Well, shall we get some water
and start preparing breakfast?
**[21:18] Will**
Okay.
**[21:21] Tonio**
Here you go.
**[21:23] Bee**
It's so good!
**[21:24] Will**
It really is. You're a great cook, Tonio.
**[21:27] Bee**
He sure is!
**[21:29] Bee**
To tell you the truth,
that's why I travel with him!
**[21:33] Will**
We're eating a lot better
now, thanks to Tonio.
**[21:37] Menel**
Yeah, since you can't cook worth a lick.
**[21:39] Will**
Well, I...
**[21:41] Will**
Your cooking isn't so hot either, Menel!
**[21:44] Menel**
What? All you gotta do is eat it.
**[21:47] Tonio**
And we always get bread
from Will at lunchtime.
**[21:50] Bee**
Isn't that so cool?
He prays, and bread appears!
**[21:53] Tonio**
I'd prefer to stop as little as possible,
**[21:56] Tonio**
so I'm grateful to have
food I can eat as I walk.
**[21:59] Menel**
Then let's get ready to leave
as soon as we're done eating.
**[22:02] Will**
Yeah.
**[22:03] Bee**
You ask when we will return home,
**[22:05] Bee**
but there is no way to know
when we will return.
**[22:07] Menel**
By the way, what's going
on at Whitesails now?
**[22:08] Bee**
As the rain falls, the water
in the lake stagnates,
**[22:10] Bee**
and the two fall silent.
**[22:10] Menel**
I've been holing up in
Beast Woods for a while,
**[22:12] Bee**
As the rain pounds, someday,
someday... ah, someday...
**[22:13] Menel**
so I haven't been to the port in ages.
**[22:15] Tonio**
A new ruler has taken over
the Fertile Kingdom.
**[22:16] Bee**
the two will draw closer together.
**[22:18] Menel**
So Egbert II is...
**[22:19] Bee**
His posthumous name is "Egbert the Bold."
**[22:21] Bee**
He wasn't a half-bad king.
**[22:24] Menel**
I see... So he's dead...
**[22:27] Tonio**
Yes... but there's a bit of a problem.
**[22:29] Tonio**
His legitimate heir,
Prince Owen, succeeded him,
**[22:32] Tonio**
but he falls short of his father,
**[22:34] Tonio**
and the lords have suggested that
now is the time to advance south.
**[22:38] Will**
That sounds bad...
**[22:40] Tonio**
Fortunately, this hasn't had any
great effect on Southmark yet.
**[22:44] Tonio**
The king's brother, who was dispatched
to Whitesails, is a great, wise man.
**[22:49] Tonio**
The crown prince, Ethelbald Rex Fertile.
**[22:53] Tonio**
He comes from a different
mother than King Owen,
**[22:55] Tonio**
but he excels with both the pen
and the sword, like his father.
**[22:59] Tonio**
It is due to Prince Ethel's rule
**[23:02] Tonio**
that the government of
Whitesails continues to run.
**[23:05] Will**
Sounds like a complicated situation...
**[23:11] Bee**
Will!
**[23:12] Bee**
C'mon, this way!
**[23:12] Menel**
What now?
**[23:14] Bee**
This is your first time seeing it, right?
**[23:16] Bee**
There, look!
**[23:20] Will**
*The city...*
**[23:22] Will**
* Just one symbol of what Blood, Mary,*
* and Gus gave their lives to protect.*
**[23:29] Bee**
That's Whitesails!
