SIGN    Tuldarr Academy of Magic [00:05] Tinasha     An interesting idea, creating     an academy for the children of mages. [00:10] Tinasha     How many students would you say     are currently enrolled? [00:13] Headmaster     Fifty-two children are here     to learn to control their magic, [00:17] Headmaster     and sixty-eight students are     studying to become mages. [00:21] Headmaster     Half the children will remain     at the academy to become mages, [00:25] Headmaster     and even less will become     appointed as royal mages. [00:29] Tinasha     The future of Tuldarr rests in their hands. [00:33] Headmaster     In addition, word got out that     Your Majesty will be giving a lesson, [00:37] Headmaster     so there are a number of children     from town who want to sit in. [00:41] Tinasha     I don't mind at all. [00:43] Tinasha     Please let anyone interested take part. [00:45] Headmaster     Thank you very much, Your Majesty. [00:53] Renart     Queen Tinasha! [00:55] Headmaster     What's this?! [00:56] Renart     Are you unhurt?! [00:57] Teacher A     The building's collapsed! [01:01] Teacher B     The children are trapped underneath! [01:02] Teacher A     Call the medics! [01:06] Headmaster     Step away from the building! [01:07] Headmaster     Those who can help, rescue     the injured and administer first aid! [01:23] Woman     Is that really my son? [01:27] Woman     If only it had been me instead... [01:33] Tinasha     You cannot change events     that have come to pass. [01:37] Tinasha     Magic can't fix everything. [01:40] Tinasha     You can stop time, but turning it back isn't... [01:48] Renart     Your Majesty? [01:49] Tinasha     Excuse me. [01:50] Tinasha     I leave the rest to you. [01:53] Renart     Yes. [02:01] Tinasha     Be unsealed and show your true form! SIGN    ~ Bloodless Scars ~ [03:54] Oscar     You're saying you used it for yourself     after all those warnings you gave me? [04:00] Tinasha     I'm sorry. [04:01] Oscar     I get wanting to save those children, [04:04] Oscar     but you can't use it to go back     to the past every time. [04:10] Oscar     Well, that's the part of you I like. [04:18] Oscar     So, did you manage to save them? [04:22] Tinasha     It didn't activate. [04:24] Oscar     It didn't? [04:26] Oscar     Does that mean it's broken? [04:29] Tinasha     There may be conditions needed to activate it. [04:37] Tinasha     I'm sorry. [04:39] Oscar     You can stay here until tomorrow morning. [04:43] Tinasha     No, I'll be leaving. [04:47] Tinasha     That reminds me. [04:49] Tinasha     It seems there's turmoil within Cezar. [04:52] Tinasha     Some people have been taken     to their castle, never to return, [04:55] Tinasha     and many others have gone missing as well. [04:59] Oscar     I see. I'll be careful. [05:02] Tinasha     I'll be going now. [05:06] Tinasha     Um... [05:07] Tinasha     Thank you very much. [05:11] Oscar     Feel free to drop by anytime. [05:23] Cezar Mage A     Valt. Isn't it about time? SIGN    Cezar Military Camp [05:26] Cezar Mage A     If we leave it alone any longer,     it may very well devour us, too. SIGN    I suppose. SIGN    Sounds good to me. SIGN    I'll handle things until it emerges here, SIGN    since no one else here is capable. SIGN    You can do as you like after that. SIGN    Don't expect me to control it. [05:43] Cezar Mage A     That's fine. [05:44] Cezar Mage A     We'll deal with it on our own. SIGN    Ynureid Fortress Northwestern Farsas, Bordering Druza [05:53] Oscar     So Cezar has made their move. [05:56] Oscar     How's it look? [05:57] General     Most of their men are on foot,     so they're advancing slowly. [06:00] General     It'll be some time before they arrive here. [06:04] General     However... [06:06] Oscar     What's wrong? [06:07] General     Our mages say they can sense     a strange magical power. [06:13] Oscar     They all know they can't win     in a head-on fight, [06:16] Oscar     so they keep trying to pull these weird tricks. [06:20] Oscar     Let's take a gamble here. SIGN    Tarvo Cezar General [06:28] Tarvo     Looks like Farsas hasn't caught on yet. [06:33] Tarvo     Looking at Druza's tactics,     it's little wonder they were defeated. [06:36] Tarvo     A forbidden curse to destroy     strongholds and troops is one thing, [06:39] Tarvo     but what were they planning to do     once that was exhausted? [06:42] Cezar Lt. Gen.     Cezar won't repeat their mistakes. [06:45] Cezar Lt. Gen.     We've spent many years building     our armed forces for this occasion. [06:50] Tarvo     Not to mention our secret weapon. [06:53] Tarvo     I don't see a single reason why we would lose. [07:00] Tarvo     What?! [07:01] Tarvo     What's happening here?! [07:06] Tarvo     Our marching soldiers are all safe, I see. [07:10] Cezar Lt. Gen.     General Tarvo, what should we do? [07:12] Tarvo     It's of no matter. Proceed onward. [07:14] Cezar Lt. Gen.     Yes! [07:21] Tarvo     It seems we have the right route. [07:28] Cezar Lt. Gen.     G-General! [07:36] Kav     This spell Queen Tinasha taught us     to cover flat ground in fog... [07:41] Kav     It's really strong. [07:43] Sylvia     This is spirit magic, so regular mages     would normally be unable to cast it. [07:48] Kav     Yet she came up with a new     composition that lets us use it. [07:53] Kav     She really is something else. [07:58] Sylvia     I just hope nothing goes wrong. [08:01] Sylvia     If only Queen Tinasha could be here right now. [08:14] Als     Th-They're... [08:24] Oscar     So this is what they meant     by strange magical power? [08:30] Oscar     Taken to Cezar's castle, never to return, huh? [08:35] Doan     Your Majesty! [08:36] Oscar     I know. [08:37] Oscar     We'll have to engage them with magic. [08:38] Oscar     Not my style, but let's do it! [08:41] Doan     Mage squad! [08:42] Doan     Ready! [08:44] Doan     Fire! [09:07] Oscar     There's no end to them... [09:10] Oscar     That's it, Doan. [09:11] Doan     What? [09:12] Oscar     Aim that at me and fire. [09:15] Oscar     Hurry up. [09:16] Oscar     When you do, Tinasha will take notice. [09:18] Oscar     This is our last resort. [09:21] Tinasha     Please don't summon me like that. [09:34] Oscar     You sure like to make a scene. [09:38] Tinasha     I was hoping to get a chance to speak with you. [09:47] Tinasha     I am the queen of Tuldarr,     Tinasha As Meyer Ur Aeterna Tuldarr. [09:53] Tinasha     We have detected the use of     forbidden magic in this war. [09:58] Tinasha     As such, Tuldarr has taken it     upon ourselves to intervene. [10:02] Tinasha     Please understand that we act here     to eliminate what should not exist, [10:07] Tinasha     and not in the interest     of either party concerned. [10:10] Oscar     Understood. [10:12] Oscar     Thanks for acting so quickly. [10:15] Tinasha     I'll be leaving two spirits with you, [10:18] Tinasha     as well as them. [10:20] Tinasha     I'm planning to have them serve     as an anti-forbidden-curse unit, [10:23] Tinasha     so please work them hard. [10:26] Oscar     Tuldarr mages? [10:28] Oscar     I suppose we don't know much     about forbidden curses. [10:30] Oscar     Thanks. [10:32] Tinasha     That said, they're still trainees who     haven't faced any real forbidden curses yet. [10:38] Tinasha     They are excellent mages, though. [10:40] Oscar     Now I'm not sure what I should think of them. [10:44] Tinasha     I'm off to go dispatch Simila,     the cause of these corpses. [10:48] Oscar     Simila? [10:49] Oscar     I remember that name     from when you got poisoned. [10:52] Tinasha     It's the god worshiped     by the weird cult from back then. [10:56] Tinasha     Or rather, it's an evil god told of     since ancient times in Cezar. [11:00] Oscar     Evil god? [11:01] Oscar     What's this about an evil god? [11:03] Oscar     Don't tell me those really exist. [11:05] Tinasha     Well, I don't think it really dates back     to mythological times, like Aetea. [11:10] Tinasha     Still, it's some sort of accumulation     of magic and souls. [11:15] Tinasha     I should be fit to handle it. [11:17] Oscar     If it's too much for you,     just wait and I'll be right there. [11:20] Tinasha     I'll be fine. [11:24] Oscar     You're sure you can win, right? [11:26] Tinasha     Of course. [11:27] Oscar     Make sure you come back alive. [11:32] Tinasha     Leave it to me. [11:33] Tinasha     I'll be awaiting your return in the fortress. [11:38] Tinasha     O-Oscar! [11:40] Tinasha     W-We're in the middle of a battle! [11:43] Oscar     Yeah. Go on now. [11:47] Tinasha     Senn. Lilia. [11:48] Tinasha     I leave this in your hands. [11:50] Senn     Yes, my lady. [11:51] Lilia     As you wish. [11:53] Tinasha     Best of luck out there. [11:56] Oscar     You too. [12:02] Oscar     Okay, let's go. [12:12] Tinasha     That... sure is something. SIGN    Simila Evil God [12:17] Tinasha     It's so gross-looking... [12:20] Mila     Lady Tinasha, you're creeped out by that? [12:23] Tinasha     I mean, it doesn't have any legs. [12:26] Tinasha     And it's huge. [12:27] Mila     So you'd be fine if it had legs? [12:28] Tinasha     That's not what I mean. [12:33] Tinasha     I wonder where that's connected to. [12:38] Karr     Maybe it's a conceptual entity? [12:40] Karr     If there is a source, I'd imagine this goes     down all the way to the lowest realm. [12:45] Tinasha     The evil god itself looks to be composed     mostly of magic and human souls. [12:50] Tinasha     It's been given form through     human flesh and blood, [12:53] Tinasha     then manifested with a definition, I suppose? [12:55] Tinasha     It seems like we're dealing with     quite a talented caster. [12:59] Karr     Can't say much for their taste... [13:01] Tinasha     All right. [13:03] Tinasha     Let's give this a shot. [13:08] Tinasha     Fly through the night,     despair that has rejected slumber. [13:11] Karr     Be defined and appear before me. [13:12] Mila     By my command,     repeat the sequence forevermore. [13:17] Cezar Mage A     H-Hey! We need a barrier! [13:19] Cezar Mage B     It's no good! [13:19] Cezar Mage B     We won't make it! [13:43] Mila     That thing... [13:44] Karr     It's absorbing them! [13:50] Tinasha     Just awful. [13:51] Tinasha     How frustrating. [13:53] Tinasha     That means makeshift restraints     will do us no good. [13:57] Karr     What now, little girl? [14:02] Tinasha     Can you stop the supply of energy     coming from that opening? [14:05] Karr     Not with just us two. [14:07] Karr     Maybe if there were five of us here. [14:09] Tinasha     Let's go with that, then. [14:11] Karr     Why do you want to cut off its supply? [14:15] Karr     L-Little girl... [14:17] Karr     You're not thinking of     absorbing that, are you? [14:20] Tinasha     Magic doesn't make up     a large part of its composition. [14:23] Tinasha     Once it loses the energy it needs to     manifest, it should disintegrate on its own. [14:28] Karr     Theoretically, sure... [14:30] Karr     But what if you absorb too much     magic and destroy your body? [14:34] Tinasha     I'll release the magic     if things start to look bad. [14:39] Karr     That's our only option, huh? [14:43] Tinasha     Eir. Nil. Sylpha. [14:52] Tinasha     Okay, here we go. [15:01] Oscar     That's amazing. [15:03] Oscar     Was it like this against Tayiri     four hundred years ago? [15:06] Lilia     Not exactly. [15:07] Lilia     These corpses move a lot slower,     and they burn more easily. [15:10] Lilia     It's a lot easier than back then. [15:13] Lilia     We don't have that many     mages in Tuldarr, either. [15:16] Lilia     Soldiers on horseback would be hard to handle. [15:18] Oscar     I see. [15:28] Oscar     The annoying part is that     I can't tell when it'll end. [15:31] Als     Your Majesty! [15:33] Als     It seems Cezar has long been controlled     by Simila and the cult that worships it. [15:40] Doan     The current king obeys     every whim of the cult leader, [15:42] Doan     and all the people     who oppose his policies are killed. [15:49] Oscar     To join their army of immortal soldiers, huh? [15:57] Tinasha     Let's get started. [16:07] Tinasha     Keep your eyes on me. [16:10] Tinasha     I am the first and last despair you will face. [16:14] Tinasha     Come. [16:15] Tinasha     Let us dance. [16:45] Tinasha     Be dispersed. [16:52] Mila     Is it over? [16:55] Karr     No! [16:57] Tinasha     Th-The pain... [17:08] Mila     Lady Tinasha! [17:09] Karr     Mila! Don't break formation! [17:12] Mila     Karr! [17:13] Mila     We need to tear that thing off, right now! [17:14] Mila     It'll use the magic     she absorbed to take control! [17:16] Karr     If you abandon the spell,     we'll lose all our chance of victory! [17:20] Karr     Have a little more faith in her! [17:36] Tinasha     There's more to the world     than what we can observe. [17:43] Tinasha     Untold numbers of invisible layers     on top of one another. [17:49] Tinasha     We refer to these as "planes of existence." [17:54] Tinasha     From heavenly virtues to the negative deep. [17:58] Tinasha     All of it is contained in this one world. [18:03] Tinasha     Someone told me that before. [18:06] Tinasha     Although I can't say what "before" is, exactly. [18:10] Tinasha     It's very dark here. [18:14] Tinasha     I can't see a thing. [18:18] Tinasha     My name is undefined. [18:24] Tinasha     Are you waiting? [18:45] Mila     Lady Tinasha! [18:49] Tinasha     Ow! [18:51] Tinasha     I haven't ached this much     in four hundred years... [18:57] Karr     Of course not. [18:58] Karr     You're saturated with magic. [19:00] Karr     We'll handle everything else. [19:02] Karr     You go ahead and rest up. [19:05] Tinasha     Thanks... [19:15] Oscar     Does this mean she's done it? [19:20] Doan     That seems to be the case! [19:22] Oscar     Then let's clean up and get out of here. [19:25] Group     Yes! [19:27] Oscar     I'm getting sick of seeing all these corpses. [19:33] Sylvia     How are you feeling? [19:35] Tinasha     I'll be good as new once I get some sleep. [19:38] Tinasha     Thanks for your concern. [19:39] Karr     I'm off to help Mira with the aftermath     before she snaps at me. [19:43] Karr     The little lady's in your hands, Miss Mage. [19:46] Sylvia     You can leave her to me! [19:50] Sylvia     What happened, exactly? [19:52] Tinasha     You see... [19:54] Tinasha     My memories are hazy. [19:57] Tinasha     I was in a strange place     where I understood everything. [20:02] Tinasha     But I can't remember it anymore. [20:05] Sylvia     That happens a lot with dreams. [20:08] Sylvia     You start to forget them     as soon as you wake up. [20:10] Tinasha     Yeah, exactly. [20:13] Tinasha     Still, that should have dealt some     serious damage to the Cezar army. [20:18] Tinasha     Now the corpses are dead. [20:20] Sylvia     Which means His Majesty     should be returning soon. SIGN    I'll have to make this quick, then. SIGN    I'd rather not face the wielder of Akashia. [20:30] Tinasha     Sylvia! [20:32] Tinasha     How dare you! SIGN    You shouldn't be straining yourself. SIGN    You can rest up all you like once we get there. SIGN    We still have plenty of time. [20:49] Oscar     Tinasha's been kidnapped?! [20:52] Oscar     Was it a man with silver hair? [20:54] Kav     No, it seems she didn't get     a good look at his face. [20:57] Kav     He was clad in black mage robes. [21:02] Mila     Karr! This is your fault! [21:04] Mila     Why didn't you stay with Lady Tinasha?! [21:08] Karr     My bad. [21:09] Mila     Excuse me?! [21:11] Oscar     Tinasha and I are the only ones at fault here. [21:14] Oscar     Can you track where she is? [21:16] Karr     Actually, I can't sense her magic at all. [21:21] Karr     Either she shut it off herself,     or an incredibly powerful seal's been placed. [21:25] Oscar     For both the attempted poisoning and     the Delilah case before Tinasha's coronation, [21:29] Oscar     we received word that     a male mage was behind it all. [21:33] Doan     There was a man who matched     his description very closely. [21:36] Doan     The one who came to Farsas posing as a Yarda     royal mage, only to suddenly disappear. [21:41] Als     We know it was a Simila worship cult     that sent Delilah to begin with! [21:46] Oscar     Valt was behind it all, then... [21:55] Oscar     He was after Tinasha from the very start!
