Silat: We will now continue our search for the hawk.

Sonia: That's...

Silat: The Hawk of Light!

Silat: Impossible!

Silat: Why is it here?

General: What the...

General: Who do you—

General: Huh?

Sub: My lord!

Sub: Don't just stand there, idiots!

Sub: k*ll him!

Sub: Fire!

Silat: Wait!

Army: None of them hit him...

Army: He avoided all of them?

Army: But there were so many!

Sub: Idiots! Quit gawking!

Sub: Fire another volley!

Sub: What the...

Sub: Are you one of his men?

Sub: k*ll him, too!

Army: Who's that warrior?

Army: He's a monster!

Sub: Stand your ground... They are only two!

Sub: Hurry and k*ll that one!

Locus: My enemies, your pardon for being on horseback.

Locus: My name is Locus.

Locus: Divine revelation has led me to this land.

Locus: I believe you are the Hawk of Light.

Locus: Am I correct?

Gr: Sir Locus, the Moonlight Knight.

Gr: I accept your sword.

Locus: A great honor!

Women: The Hawk of Light...

Women: The Hawk... It isn't possible.

Women: I heard he d*ed.

Women: No, I saw his face at the Windham victory parade.

Women: There's no mistaking it.

Women: He is Midland's true guardian deity.

Sonia: It's him!

Sonia: That is him!

Army: Hey, you!

Woman: Hey, watch out!

Sonia: Griffith!

Sonia: The wind whispered to me.

Sonia: That now is when the world begins to change.

Sub: Stop them!

Sub: Stop those two!

Tapasa: My lord.

Silat: Wait.

Silat: There is no advantage to be had by currying favor with this lot.

Silat: Instead, let us use the chaos and capture the hawk.

Sonia: He is so beautiful.

Sonia: Almost as if he isn't human.

Sonia: Watch out!

Tapasa: Impossible.

Tapasa: We were repelled?

Rakshas: Slow. Dull of edge.

Rakshas: These are Tapasa, the best of the Bakiraka? How pitiful.

Tapasa: That mask!

Tapasa: You're Raksas!

Silat: Why is the clan's exile here?

Rakshas: I was given a prophecy.

Rakshas: So you are the Hawk of Light.

Rakshas: You're beautiful.

Rakshas: Someday, I will cut off your head and make it mine.

Rakshas: Until then, I will let no one harm you.

Rakshas: It's playtime.

Guard: Shut the castle gates!

Guard: Close off their escape route!

Guard: A giant?

Guard: Naga?

Guard: Stand your ground. There is but one foe.

Guard: To arms!

Guard: I have a message!

Guard: All men, to arms!

Guard: What the...

Guard: Who are you?

Sonia: What a nauseating stench...

Sonia: My mind's numb from the overwhelming scent of blood.

Sonia: Everything is dyed red.

Sonia: Everything is stained red,

Sonia: red as the setting sun casts its rays on the blood...

Sonia: The sight should be gruesome, and yet...

Sonia: And yet it was like a painting, beautiful beyond compare.

Sonia: Without a doubt, we were all in a tale beyond comprehension.

F: Please let us accompany you on your journey.

F: Come, you kneel, too.

G: What do you want?

I: This is fishy as hell!

I: What's with the complete about-face?

I: The first chance they get, I bet they'll tie us up!

F: I have already secularized myself...

F: I am no longer with the Order.

I: We can't trust you! You're a bloody aristocrat!

F: I want to know the truth

: that transcends the ordered system to which I clung.

F: And I want to learn

: how to survive in the darkness, where order's light does not reach.

F: To learn from you.

F: Please guide us.

I: You can use big words to talk in circles, but I won't be duped!

P: Yeah, not gonna be duped.

I: How are you gonna make up for what you did to Casca?

P: How you gonna make it up?

I: She was almost b*rned alive!

I: If you say enemies can become friends overnight,

I: maybe you should throw yourself on the ground and apologize, eh?

I: Can you manage that, you smug noble?

I: Oh, yeah? You wanna fight?

I: B-Bring it!

F: This is all I can do now.

F: I swear I shall make amends.

P: Say any more, and you'll be the villain.

G: Why are priests and nobles so over the top?

G: Do what you want.

F: Th-Then...

I: Well, that was quick.

G: I don't need you to make amends or apologies.

G: I k*lled your guys, too. It goes both ways.

G: But no thanks to being your guide.

G: Not my thing.

G: I don't know what you want to learn, but do what you like.

G: Stay out of my way, and I won't interfere.

F: We are grateful.

G: No need for that yet.

G: Coming with us means you won't be able to sleep at night.

I: Oh?

I: So we'll run into more ghosts and monsters and stuff?

I: J-Just what I want!

P: Something's weird.

P: Why would Guts let people he doesn't know into his circle?

G: If it were just me...

G: If I were my usual self, I'd have turned them down in a second.

G: But this time, I'm in a bind.

P: Go and gather firewood.

G: It's the first time

: I find myself counting on people I don't know.

P: Don't let the fire go out tonight.

I: Why do you get to order us around?

G: I am horrified by my own malice.

G: I feel crushed by powerlessness.

G: When was the last time she smiled?

Mule: I'm not doing this for the royal house

Mule: or to uphold my honor!

Mule: It's to

: save my people!

Mule: Stand your ground!

Mule: Follow me!

Mule: What the...

Mule: A Midland hostage?

General: Fire at will!

General: Fire!

Mule: They're f*ring volleys right through their own men!

General: Cavalry, charge!

General: Annihilate them!

Mule: Is this the end?

Sonia: Watch out!

Mule: What?

Mule: Reinforcements?

Enemy: New forces on the right flank!

Enemy: On the left flank, too!

General: Wh-Who are they?

General: That's...

General: That banner!

Sonia: There...

Sonia: A spot of emptiness.

Sonia: And along its path, the center of the enemy focus!

Sonia: Lord Griffith!

Enemy: H-He's flying!

Mule: Unbelievable.

Mule: Is this really a b*ttlefield?

Mule: Look at their peaceful smiles.

Mule: They hardly look like people devastated by a foreign army.

Sonia: It's because of Lord Griffith.

Mule: Griffith... You mean that white hawk?

Sonia: We can smile because Lord Griffith is with us.

Mule: Did this girl just read my mind?

Sonia: Welcome to the Band of the Hawk.

Mule: These men have such high morale!

Mule: Kushans!

Mule: Are they Kushan men?

Sonia: That's right.

Mule: Wait a minute...

Mule: What's going on? Why are our foes helping us?

Sonia: Could you please stop yelling?

Locus: They defected.

Mule: Wh-What?

Mule: What an intimidating man...

Locus: It is our code.

Locus: Prisoners must stand on the front lines three times.

Locus: Those who survive the arrows choose defection or death.

Locus: Those who choose to be allies will not suffer discrimination

Locus: and may rise through our ranks.

Locus: Depending on circumstance, they may even lead others.

Mule: That's ridiculous!

Mule: How can you trust former foes to lead other men?

Locus: Even the Kushan Empire is not a monolith.

Locus: It is governed by a ruling clan that subjugated various others.

Locus: Many clans still nurse grudges.

Mule: But still...

Mule: What of us Midlanders?

Mule: The suffering of people who lost homes, cities, and families?

Locus: Though both sides may harbor hatred, we are ultimately all human beings.

Locus: Should you choose to stay,

Locus: you will learn that former foes are more similar than you realize.

Mule: Who was that knight?

Sonia: Sir Locus.

Sonia: He's in charge of training new recruits.

Mule: Locus!

Mule: You mean Sir Locus, the Moonlight Knight?

Sonia: I thought that might surprise you.

Sonia: All the nobles are.

Mule: He's won countless accolades in combat.

Mule: While being undefeated in duels, he has never chosen a master.

Mule: Instead, he's remained a free man, the strongest warrior alive.

Mule: Why is such

Mule: a living legend here?

Sonia: There are things that will probably surprise you even more.

Sonia: As Sir Locus said, you'll be surprised by more than Kushan defectors.

Sonia: This is a shortcut.

Sonia: Hup.

Mule: What is the ominous presence in this forest?

Mule: Beasts...

Mule: A pack of wolves?

Mule: Hey, wai—

Sonia: You didn't notice them?

Sonia: They were working hard during the fight earlier, too.

Sonia: We call them the demon army.

Mule: The demon army!

Sonia: They're better now, though they may not look it.

Sonia: Before, they'd sometimes eat our Kushan prisoners.

Demon: G-Girl, you've come alone again?

Sonia: Just let me go, will you? Perv.

Mule: Hey, let go of—

Mule: Whoa!

Demon: I-It'd be great to eat human flesh again!

Sonia: I'll tell Lord Griffith.

Demon: N-Not that!

Demon: G-Grunbeld...

Gru: They are our master's valued guests.

Gru: Harm them, and you will answer to me.

Demon: J-Just kidding!

Demon: I was just joking around...

M: Grunbeld... I know that name!

M: The mighty warrior who defended a small northern kingdom

M: from the massive Chuder invasion

: for a decade, with a mere force of three thousand.

M: The great fire dragon.

M: They say he fell in battle, but...

Gru: Lady Sonia, you are too reckless.

Gru: Though you are our seer,

Gru: you should not walk here without a guard.

Gru: Next time, please speak to me first.

Sonia: Okay.

Mule: The seer for the Hawks?

Mule: Who are these people?

Sonia: I don't really know a whole lot.

Mule: A mysterious army of inhuman beings.

Mule: Heroes whose names are known throughout the world.

Mule: Where am I?

Sonia: I've brought Lord Griffith's guest.

Mule: What is that?

Sonia: People who d*ed in battle today.

Sonia: After the battle ends, they gather like this at sundown.

Mule: Souls? Of the dead?

Sonia: So beautiful...

Mule: And who are they?

Sonia: The family and loved ones of the dead.

Sonia: They're here to say farewell.

Kid: Hey, where's Dad?

Kid: Dad!

Mom: Dear!

Ghost: Take care.

Mom: My dear...

Sonia: It's over.

Sonia: Lord Griffith!

Gr: Good work earlier today, Sonia.

Sonia: It was nothing.

Sonia: I think I'm more powerful when I'm with you, Lord Griffith.

Mule: So this man is the white hawk...

Mule: That group of lights... Where is it going?

Gr: To where they can be one.

Mule: Where they can be one? Where is that?

Mule: Heaven? Or...

Gr: Eventually, you will know.

Gr: Everyone does when their time comes.

Gr: We have yet to meet formally, Lord Mule.

Gr: I am Griffith, leader of the Band of the Hawk.

Mule: F-Forgive my belated introduction!

Mule: I am Mule Wolflame.

Mule: Youngest son of Valagar Wolflame, lord of Lumias.

Mule: I have no words to express my deep gratitude

Mule: for the salvation of my people in the earlier battle!

Gr: I, as well, must offer my gratitude.

Gr: The food you have provided will allow my troops

: to fight for many more months.

Mule: Y-You are too kind.

Mule: What is this?

Mule: What is this powerful emotion I feel welling up from within?

Mule: It surges... forth.

Mule: Please accept my sword.

Mule: Please.

Mule: What am I doing?

Mule: I only just met this man and exchanged a few words.

Mule: And yet, I hear a voice from the deepest reaches of my being...

Sonia: Lord Griffith?

Mule: A powerful voice... I cannot ignore!

Mule: It says this is my destiny.

P: They're coming, Isidoro!

I: I know!

Ser: Lady Farnese, please keep the fire going!

F: I... I am ready!

F: No, Casca!

F: You cannot wander around!

G: Here they come!

I: Come at me, you ghouls!
