[00:04] Bardalos
A fine sight indeed...
[00:07] Lanak
It reminds me of old times.
[00:09] Lanak
Towns and people burning,
like in the Dark Age when I was born.
SIGN Lanak King of Cuscull
[00:15] Lanak
A new age is about to dawn on the mainland.
[00:18] Lanak
First comes... the Four Great Nations, was it?
[00:22] Lanak
They'll be the first to go.
[00:30] Tinasha
That does it.
[00:36] Tinasha
So it's true.
[00:39] Tinasha
Why now, after four hundred years?
[00:44] Tinasha
You can rest now.
[00:46] Tinasha
Thanks for all your hard work.
SIGN ~ As the Abyss Is Born ~
[02:29] Tinasha
People kill other people.
[02:32] Tinasha
That's what emotions and power wreak.
[02:36] Tinasha
And if that is the consequence, I'd rather
shut myself off from love and hatred.
[02:41] Tinasha
I'd rather not remember.
[02:43] Tinasha
I don't want to go mad.
[02:45] Tinasha
Since, from the very start...
[02:48] Tinasha
I've been engulfed
in a madness I cannot escape.
[02:53] Tinasha
I hereby define this.
[02:57] Tinasha
Let these words turn to poison by my will.
[03:00] Tinasha
Sow these seeds to grow into thorns.
[03:15] Oscar
What's this?
[03:19] Oscar
Tinasha.
[03:20] Tinasha
I'm sleepy.
[03:23] Oscar
You can sleep after you explain this.
[03:28] Tinasha
I've placed another curse over it,
so they offset each other.
[03:31] Oscar
Huh?
[03:32] Tinasha
To put it simply, I've broken your curse.
[03:36] Oscar
You've broken it?
[03:38] Tinasha
You can clean that off now.
[03:40] Tinasha
Please go take a bath.
[03:42] Oscar
Is this your blood?
[03:45] Tinasha
I used it as a catalyst.
[03:47] Oscar
Why'd you wait until I was sleeping?
[03:49] Tinasha
It's easier when you're unconscious.
[03:52] Tinasha
Well, I'm off to bed.
[03:55] Tinasha
What now?
[03:56] Oscar
Well... thanks.
[04:11] Tinasha
Why must I attend
King Kevin's birthday celebration?!
[04:14] Tinasha
You call it a ceremony,
but it's little more than a diplomacy ball!
[04:19] Oscar
If you don't go, who will?
[04:21] Oscar
Have fun dealing with those snakes.
[04:24] Tinasha
You can't be serious!
[04:27] Lazar
Your Highness, we've received
a message from Tayiri.
[04:30] Lazar
It seems Prince Reust won't be able to attend,
[04:33] Lazar
what with the attack from Cuscull.
[04:35] Lazar
Instead, his sister, Princess Cecilia,
will be arriving today.
[04:39] Oscar
Cuscull?
[04:40] Tinasha
An attack?
[04:42] Lazar
Cuscull mages burned down
a city near their border.
[04:46] Oscar
Tayiri's persecuted mages
for hundreds of years now.
[04:52] Oscar
Is it simply an act of revenge,
or something else?
[04:57] Oscar
Tinasha?
[04:59] Tinasha
I'd like to ask you something.
[05:02] Oscar
What is it?
[05:03] Tinasha
Oscar, are you fond of Nark?
[05:06] Oscar
Nark is that dragon you keep around, isn't it?
[05:10] Tinasha
I'm currently its master,
but I wanted to transfer ownership.
[05:14] Tinasha
It looks like Nark's taken a liking to you.
[05:18] Oscar
Why so suddenly?
[05:23] Oscar
Sure. I don't mind.
[05:26] Tinasha
Really? Let me go ahead.
[05:30] Tinasha
Now you're its master.
[05:32] Oscar
Got it.
[05:40] Oscar
How unexpected...
[05:44] Tinasha
It's good to shake things up.
[05:49] Tinasha
It's unheard of for a witch
to show herself at an event like this!
[05:54] Oscar
I'll keep your identity a secret.
[05:59] Tinasha
If you call me your fiancée,
I'll blow you to bits.
[06:02] Oscar
I'll keep that in mind.
[06:05] Oscar
Your Majesty Kevin, Twentieth King of Farsas.
[06:09] Oscar
I extend my heartfelt congratulations
on your fifty-third birthday.
[06:26] Cecelia
Your Highness!
SIGN Cecelia Princess of Tayiri
[06:28] Oscar
Princess Cecelia.
[06:30] Cecelia
Best wishes on this joyful occasion.
[06:33] Cecelia
I'm terribly sorry my brother couldn't make it.
[06:36] Oscar
No, I hear your nation has suffered an attack.
[06:40] Cecelia
Nothing but a bunch of
pesky gnats, I assure you.
[06:44] Oscar
I'd like to hear more about Cuscull,
or those gnats as you say.
[06:48] Cecelia
My!
[06:49] Cecelia
Discussing such complicated matters...
[06:52] Cecelia
I'd rather not, out here in the open.
[06:57] Kevin
Thank you for being so kind as to come.
[06:59] Tinasha
My contract holder
is quite persistent, you see.
[07:02] Tinasha
It must run in his blood.
[07:06] Kevin
I don't know how to thank you
for lifting the curse on my son.
[07:12] Tinasha
I was just fulfilling the contract.
[07:14] Tinasha
Now he can marry anyone he likes.
[07:23] Kevin
You must have it rough.
[07:25] Kevin
I can only imagine.
[07:26] Tinasha
You say that like it's none of your business.
[07:30] Tinasha
I wish you'd rein him in somehow.
[07:33] Kevin
He won't listen to what I say at his age.
[07:36] Kevin
I'd be happy if you would just marry him.
[07:39] Tinasha
You won't let that go?!
[07:46] Tinasha
I'm tired.
[07:48] Tinasha
Good thing I can't dance in this dress.
[07:54] Tinasha
Lanak.
[07:57] Cecelia
The embroidery on this dress took
ten dressmakers half a year to complete.
[08:04] Cecelia
Your Highness.
[08:05] Cecelia
If you're tired, would you like to head to bed?
[08:10] Oscar
What is it, Tinasha?
[08:12] Tinasha
My apologies, but I have important business
with him, so if you would kindly leave.
[08:17] Cecelia
How rude of you to burst in through the window!
[08:20] Cecelia
Your Highness, who is she?
[08:22] Oscar
My wit...
[08:23] Cecelia
Wit?
[08:25] Oscar
...filled mage.
[08:27] Cecelia
A lowly mage who doesn't know her place...
[08:30] Cecelia
How disgusting!
[08:32] Cecelia
Out with you!
[08:33] Tinasha
A lowly mage, you say?
[08:35] Tinasha
Watch your tongue, you imbecile.
[08:37] Cecelia
What was that?!
[08:40] Tinasha
Leave.
[08:41] Tinasha
Do you need to be told twice to understand?
[08:55] Oscar
What is it?
[09:03] Tinasha
Oscar.
[09:06] Tinasha
I should have died four hundred years ago.
[09:10] Tinasha
You mustn't be infatuated with the dead.
[09:14] Tinasha
Go and accomplish that which you must do.
[09:18] Tinasha
Don't forget that the future of this
kingdom's people depends on you.
[09:24] Oscar
Tina—
[09:28] Tinasha
Do you remember what I said
when I broke Lucrezia's spell?
[09:41] Lanak
I've come for you.
[09:43] Lanak
You've grown into a beautiful adult, Aeti.
[09:47] Tinasha
Lanak!
[09:49] Tinasha
You really were alive!
[09:51] Lanak
I know you've been searching for me.
[09:55] Lanak
But I couldn't act for the longest time.
[09:58] Tinasha
It's okay.
[09:59] Tinasha
It's more than enough that you're still alive.
[10:02] Lanak
I've started a nation
called Cuscull for your sake.
[10:05] Lanak
A fine location, and I've razed
all the surrounding cities in the way.
[10:09] Lanak
You will become queen there.
[10:15] Lanak
Who's he?
[10:16] Tinasha
I used to have a contract with him.
[10:18] Lanak
The one who wields the sword Akashia?
[10:20] Lanak
He's a danger.
[10:23] Tinasha
Let's leave him be.
[10:25] Tinasha
Even with its power, it's nothing but a sword.
[10:28] Tinasha
It's of little use if its user lacks strength.
[10:32] Oscar
What in the world is going on here?
[10:35] Tinasha
I've broken your curse.
[10:37] Tinasha
My contract with you ends tonight.
[10:40] Oscar
There should still be time left.
[10:42] Tinasha
It's over.
[10:44] Tinasha
If you're going to hurt Lanak,
you'll have to face me.
[10:52] Oscar
As I am now, I can kill you.
[10:54] Oscar
However...
[10:57] Lanak
That's enough.
[10:58] Lanak
Let's go.
[11:04] Oscar
Tinasha!
[11:20] Sylvia
Lady Tinasha...
[11:23] Als
How's His Highness doing?
[11:26] Lazar
He's in a foul temper.
[11:27] Lazar
Though he may not look it.
[11:33] Oscar
I'm done.
[11:34] Oscar
You handle the rest.
[11:35] Lazar
Ah, yes.
[11:37] Lazar
Your Highness, where are you
going with that sword?
[11:40] Oscar
I'm off to Lucrezia's forest.
[11:43] Lazar
Please wait!
[11:44] Lazar
What if you run into danger?
[11:46] Oscar
I won't, so it's fine.
[11:48] Oscar
Let go of me.
[11:52] Lucrezia
You can save yourself the trip.
[11:54] Lucrezia
I'm right here.
[11:59] Lucrezia
I came to see if it was true.
[12:03] Lucrezia
Figures that she really did leave.
[12:05] Oscar
What do you mean, "figures"?
[12:07] Lucrezia
Well, I received an invite to Cuscull, too.
[12:11] Doan
What?
[12:12] Lucrezia
I turned them down, of course.
[12:14] Lucrezia
I imagine the other witches did as well.
[12:16] Lucrezia
So her going along will cause
trouble across the mainland.
[12:21] Oscar
What relationship do Tinasha
and that Lanak fellow have?
[12:26] Lucrezia
She's been searching for him
ever since she became a witch.
[12:31] Lucrezia
Good for her, reuniting after so long.
[12:33] Oscar
But he didn't seem to be in his right mind.
[12:36] Oscar
It's like he was in a dreamlike haze.
[12:38] Lucrezia
Jealous?
[12:40] Lucrezia
I don't think that matters,
as long as she accepts him.
[12:43] Oscar
No way.
[12:44] Lucrezia
Do you have any right to interfere?
[12:47] Oscar
I won't give her up.
[12:48] Oscar
She's irreplaceable to me.
[12:52] Oscar
I'll kill that man and bring her back.
[12:54] Oscar
If she still insists on being with
another man, then I'll let her go.
[12:59] Lucrezia
Understood.
[13:04] Lucrezia
I'll tell you what she said to me exactly,
[13:09] Lucrezia
but only to those who are prepared
to fight her to the death.
[13:23] Oscar
Go on.
[13:24] Lucrezia
Before I tell this story,
let me tell you her real name.
[13:29] Oscar
Her real name?
[13:31] Lucrezia
Tinasha As Meyer Ur Aeterna Tuldarr.
[13:36] Group
Tuldarr?!
[13:37] Sylvia
Isn't Tuldarr the magic empire that was
destroyed overnight four hundred years ago?
[13:43] Sylvia
If her last name is the same as that nation...
[13:47] Oscar
That makes her royalty.
[13:48] Lucrezia
More precisely, she was
the future queen candidate.
[13:51] Lucrezia
Tuldarr was a monarchy, but the ruler was
decided by pure power and not lineage.
[13:57] Oscar
Decided by power?
[13:59] Oscar
What if an eccentric
happens to be the strongest?
[14:02] Lucrezia
That's why, as soon as Tinasha was born,
[14:04] Lucrezia
she was separated from her parents
to be raised in the palace.
[14:09] Sylvia
Her powers were that extraordinary?
[14:12] Lucrezia
So one candidate is chosen each
for king and queen,
[14:15] Lucrezia
and they end up engaged to each other.
[14:18] Lucrezia
The boy was the king's only son.
[14:22] Lucrezia
In other words, Lanak.
[14:23] Lucrezia
But he was far less powerful than she was.
[14:26] Oscar
Everyone thought Tinasha would be
queen, and Lanak her consort?
[14:31] Lucrezia
That's right.
[14:32] Lucrezia
Even so, Lanak treated her with great kindness,
[14:35] Lucrezia
like she was his own sister five years younger.
[14:38] Lucrezia
But unbeknownst to them,
the royal court was split into two factions.
[14:42] Lucrezia
The reformists, who called for
diplomacy with foreign nations.
[14:46] Lucrezia
The traditionalists, who sought
to maintain isolation from them.
[14:51] Lucrezia
And with neither side yielding,
the king eventually fell ill.
[14:56] Lucrezia
Disputes broke out with reformists backing
Tinasha, and traditionalists backing Lanak.
[15:01] Als
You call it a dispute, but wasn't Miss Tinasha
guaranteed to accede to the throne?
[15:06] Lucrezia
Yes, which is why the traditionalists
came up with a plan.
[15:10] Lucrezia
A way to prevent Tinasha's accession
and increase Lanak's power all at once.
[15:17] Lucrezia
It happened when she was thirteen.
[15:20] Lucrezia
One night, she opened her eyes to Lanak
carrying her somewhere.
[15:29] (Flashback) Tinasha
This is the cathedral...
[15:31] (Flashback) Lanak
Oh, you're awake?
[15:33] (Flashback) Lanak
You have high magical resistance,
so you wake up in no time.
[15:41] (Flashback) Tinasha
Lanak.
[15:42] (Flashback) Tinasha
Who are these people?
[15:45] (Flashback) Lanak
Don't you move, Aeti.
[15:48] (Flashback) Tinasha
Lanak?
[16:02] (Flashback) Tinasha
Lanak... why?
[16:05] (Flashback) Tinasha
Stop it!
[16:07] (Flashback) Lanak
We just need to prolong
your life so you don't die.
[16:12] (Flashback) Mage A
Sacred life, linger here in this place.
[16:15] (Flashback) Mage A
Let wound remain as wound,
blood as blood, smoldering slowly.
[16:19] (Flashback) Mage A
Persist here for some time longer.
[16:23] (Flashback) Lanak
What I desire is unadulterated power!
[16:27] (Flashback) Lanak
Draw upon this flesh and blood
to appear before me, power!
[16:33] (Flashback) Lanak
I'm doing this for Tuldarr, Aeti!
[16:37] (Flashback) Lanak
With this magical power, I will surpass you!
[16:46] (Flashback) Lanak
What?!
[16:47] (Flashback) Lanak
Suppress this at once!
[16:52] (Flashback) Lanak
A-Any more and...
[17:24] (Flashback) Tinasha
I reign over thee in thy whole.
[17:28] (Flashback) Tinasha
Take me as thy vessel and obey my command!
[17:51] Lucrezia
After the whirlwind of
magical power disappeared,
[17:53] Lucrezia
her torn stomach had somehow repaired itself.
[17:56] Lucrezia
In exchange, she had to lie there
for three days in unbearable pain.
[18:03] Lucrezia
However, after desperately trying to
hold onto the magical power,
[18:08] Lucrezia
Tuldarr had already been
reduced to a pile of rubble.
[18:11] Lucrezia
The overflowing magic absorbed
the souls of those who had died,
[18:15] Lucrezia
scattering across the mainland
and turning into five magical lakes.
[18:20] Lucrezia
And after everything had come to pass,
[18:23] Lucrezia
Tinasha had become a witch.
[18:27] Lucrezia
She built a tower in the corner of what
had been Tuldarr territory to live in.
[18:32] Lucrezia
And ever since, she's been searching for Lanak.
[18:35] Lucrezia
I never asked her why, though.
[18:39] Lucrezia
That ends my story.
[18:46] Oscar
How did she feel about me?
[18:50] Lucrezia
Don't ask me obvious questions.
[18:54] Lucrezia
If she hadn't temporarily sealed away
your defensive barrier with this...
[18:58] Lucrezia
do you think Lanak would have let you go?
[19:01] Lucrezia
And she left her dragon with you, too.
[19:04] Lucrezia
The answer's right there.
[19:10] Oscar
This doesn't change our plans.
[19:12] Oscar
I'll kill that revolting man
and bring Tinasha back.
[19:16] Oscar
That's all there is to it.
[19:26] Kevin
We've received a letter from Cuscull.
[19:28] Nessan
"To the Four Great Nations:
Tayiri, Cezar, Gandona, and Farsas.
SIGN Kumu Farsas Chief Mage
SIGN Granfort Farsas General
[19:33] Nessan
We hereby demand your capitulation."
SIGN Nessan Farsas Minister of the Interior
[19:36] Nessan
A few days ago, Tayiri led a large army
of ten thousand men into Cuscull.
[19:42] Nessan
However, Tayiri's forces
were practically wiped out.
SIGN Bardalos Cuscull Chief Mage
[19:46] Nessan
Meanwhile, Cuscull lost less than
fifty of their mages.
[19:50] Nessan
That's not all.
[19:52] Nessan
Five large cities in Tayiri
were devastated at the same time,
[19:56] Nessan
with thousands losing their lives.
[20:01] Nessan
In the affected cities,
the buildings were left intact,
[20:04] Nessan
with all of their citizens vanishing.
[20:07] Nessan
The one responsible...
[20:09] Nessan
appears to be the Witch of the Azure Moon.
[20:14] Kevin
And while Farsas has received
a request for aid...
[20:18] Kevin
Oscar, they've additionally asked
for you to slay the witch.
[20:23] Kevin
Can you do it?
[20:24] Oscar
I'm the only one who can kill her.
[20:28] Oscar
But I won't do it.
[20:31] Oscar
If Tayiri is asking for aid,
we should head there.
[20:34] Oscar
But that's only if you're treating
Cuscull as the enemy.
[20:38] Oscar
She's a different story.
[20:40] Kevin
Hasn't she gone to Cuscull of her own will?
[20:44] Oscar
I don't think the truth lies
in only what we can see.
[20:47] Kevin
Have you been taken in by the witch?!
[20:49] Kevin
You damn fool!
[20:50] Kevin
Have you forgotten that our people's
lives rest on your shoulders?!
[20:56] Oscar
Dear father.
[20:57] Oscar
There's no need for further discussion.
[20:59] Oscar
I've already made up my mind.
[21:00] Oscar
I don't plan on losing, or forsaking anything.
[21:08] Kevin
Maybe it does run in the blood.
[21:11] Kevin
I understand.
[21:13] Kevin
Do as you will.
[21:15] Kevin
In exchange...
[21:17] Kevin
You take the throne as king.
[21:20] Kevin
It's about time I stepped down.
[21:22] Nessan
Y-Your Majesty!
[21:23] Kevin
It may be a bit early,
but that shouldn't matter.
[21:26] Kevin
Take this opportunity
to learn all that you can.
[21:33] Oscar
I swear...
[21:35] Oscar
Everyone loves putting me through the wringer.
[21:38] Oscar
I understand.
[21:39] Oscar
I'll gladly accede to the throne.
[21:43] Kevin
Always keep in mind that your actions
decide the fate of this kingdom.
[21:49] (Flashback) Tinasha
As long as you wield that sword,
and I remain a witch,
[21:54] (Flashback) Tinasha
someday you might really have to...
[21:59] Oscar
I won't forget those words.
