[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.
