01x18 - A Night of Reminiscing

[bunniefuu]

One hundred years have passed
since the Battle of Galluah Plains,

where King Kyle defeated
the Dark Lord Angmund.

The Demons rise again,
threatening the world

and spreading fear and unrest to all.

If it's so tough, you should just run.

You need to live for yourself.
Otherwise, your heart will die.

Through meeting Reina,
Kasel is able to shake free from his fears

to activate the power of the Holy Sword.

They now approach the Windland
Snow Mountains,

to meet Pavel, who can unlock the final seal.

I won't run... Never!

When the red-stained night comes

I paint you on the sky

KING's RAID: Successors of the Will

The hidden truth

The sudden suffocation

You are so distant, fading

Do you feel it too?

Crossing blades

Cannot touch

The sadness that lies beyond

I just want to see you

I search for you

Now, Eclipse

I always want to be by your side

I send a wish to the sky

I believe in destiny

When the sun and moon meet

At that moment

I run to you

With all my heart

A Night of

Reminiscing

We're just one seal away from
completely unleashing the Holy Sword!

Finally getting close!

I wonder what Master Pavel is like?

He's a hero who fought alongside
King Kyle 100 years ago!

I'm sure he's a super powerful sorcerer!

Oh, I can't wait to meet him!

Stay sharp.

I know!

The Windland Snow Mountains
are just up ahead. Let's hurry.

Yes.

An undead!

Undead? Here...?

What's wrong, Roi?

It's nothing. Let's go.

I'll take watch now.

Yeah...

What's wrong, Roi?

About what?

You seem different somehow.

I was remembering something.

Now that you've mentioned it,
I haven't heard about your past at all.

Really?

Yeah.

I used to be part of a group of mercenaries.

Hey, kid, you alive?

You dead? Hey.

Hey, you're alive.

Leave me alone.

Huh?

I said, leave me alone.

Hey, slow down. That's bad for your digestion.

You haven't eaten anything for a while, right?

Hey, someone's here.

Did you find a new one again, Captain?

Captain?

I forgot to tell you.

I'm Zayed. I'm the captain of
a group of mercenaries.

Speaking of which, what's your name?

Huh? You haven't even asked his name yet?

It's Roi. I will repay this debt soon.

Don't worry about it.

No, I will, for sure.

Then why don't you join us, Roi?

Become a member of Flugel!

Why am I doing this...?

Roi!

When you're done over there,
come help over here!

I thought you guys were mercenaries.
Why are you doing these things?

"These things"? Helping those
in need is totally part of our job!

Huh? Mercenaries are supposed
to fight for money.

I'd say we're more like helping hands.

Indeed!

All of you, get in here and eat something!

That smells so good!

I've got you my special soup.
Eat up and work hard.

Thanks, old lady!

"Old lady"...?

There's no old lady here. I'm the Madam!

Remember that, kid!

Uh, yeah...

So, who's the new kid?

Just a new stray dog!

Who're you calling stray dog?

You were collapsed on the street
from hunger. What's the difference?

He would accept any job.

I couldn't understand
what he was thinking, at all.

I was still a kid back then.

I will never understand why
we must use th*gs like you, but...

My master specifically asked for you,
so here I am. Be grateful.

Yes, most certainly sir.

Besides, I don't approve of you.

If it wasn't for my master,
you all wouldn't have such an easy life.

Indeed, that is correct.

I suppose being disposable is a value.

We will do our best to perform
above your expectations.

Please call on us again
if you have another opportunity.

Remember that you're always replaceable.
I expect no less than your best.

Yes.

Why are you letting him
talk to you like that?!

Why are you so mad?

Will you grovel to someone like that
if the money is good?

That's right, because there are
more important things in life.

I've got to raise you kids.
I'll do anything for that.

When I do something, I go all the way!

What does that even mean?

Stop treating me like a child!

Sorry, sorry.

All right! Let's grab something to eat!

What was that...?

The Captain lost his family a while ago.

Some things happened,
and he ended up making this group, Flugel.

The Captain found us too, like you.

It must have been tough enough for him
to make a living just for himself.

But he got us a place to live
and took care of us.

That's why we're willing to do
anything for the Captain.

It's the least we could do, honestly.

What are you doing?

You wanna study, too?

Huh?

Captain, hurry!

What are you going to teach us today?

Yeah, one sec.

Why study?

You know, Roi...

In this world, there are many who want
to study but can't, for various reasons.

Everyone has their own stories.

I can't change the world by myself.

But I can teach some things.

Who knows what difference it would make
to be able to read and write?

But one day, it will be useful.

Isn't that what's called meddling?

Maybe. But once I decide
to do something, I go all the way!

All the way!

He's a nice person.

More like, a nosy weirdo.

He had a symbol of a wing
embroidered on his sleeve.

Its meaning is very
indicative of his personality.

Dreams and hope become wings
to soar towards the future...

He seriously said that's
the grand meaning behind the symbol.

That's cool.

I see...

So...

The undead from earlier today was...

That was Pavian, one of the members.

I didn't expect him to be out here...

Roi...

We all got split up in the Galluah Plains.

Galluah Plains...

One day, Orvelia sent us a terrible job.

We were supposed to
investigate the Galluah Plains.

They said nobody entered that place
after the battle 100 years ago.

Of course, in reality, I'm sure many people
went in, but nobody came back.

There had to be some reason why
they couldn't come back.

But the Captain took up that offer.

He believed in a future where a road
cutting through the Galluah Plains,

safe for anyone to travel on, could be built.

How far did Eddie go?

He's taking way too long.

I'll go find him. You all wait here.

Hey, I'll go, too.

No. It's quicker for me to go alone.

If you say so, Captain...

All right, be right back!

When is the captain coming back...?

Should we go check it out?

We should!

He told us to wait here.

You want us to just sit around?

The captain always thinks things through
before taking action.

That's true, but...

But if something were to happen to him...

He's coming back for sure!

I'm worried! Let's go look!

I'll go, too!

Hey, guys?!

This really is a spooky place...

Let's find them fast!

Yeah!

Isn't that the captain?

Captain!

Why did you come? I told you to wait!

We couldn't wait any longer!

We're so glad you're safe.

We'll help find Eddie.

You guys can be so stubborn!

What?!

Captain? Pavian!

How's the captain?!

What happened...?

I don't know, but he's gone...

Why?!

Why the captain? Why Pavian?!

Huh?

What, you--

R-Run! Run!

Help! Captain!

You're awake.

Where am I?

The Tower of the Sage.

The Tower of the Sage?

A sorcerer brought you here.

I see... Thank you.

What happened?

I don't fully understand, but...

I see. That is probably the undead.

Undead... Is there any way
to bring them back?

The undead are moving corpses.
There is no way to revive the dead.

Moving corpses...

Why did that happen...?

It is the result of magics made
by a sorcerer named Malduk.

Malduk?

I don't know if Malduk is dead or still alive.

A hundred-year-old trap? Or...

I've done some research on the undead.

This place is full of literature
and research results.

You should study up on the undead
to your heart's content.

Why do you care about me so much...?

It's a trade. There is something
I need your help with.

I see. So that's how you knew
so much about the undead.

Yeah.

Dominix had me stay at the Tower of the Sage
to make me travel with you, Kasel.

I can't let Malduk continue whatever
he's doing, for my fallen friends.

We have to get the Holy Sword
and take him out.

Yeah!

So. Enough stories. I'm going to sleep.

Morning! Wake up, everyone!

The weather is fine again today!

Good morning.

Good morning, Frey.

Hey, Roi.

If your old friend was here...

...maybe your captain is nearby, too?

Maybe.

Then...!

What's wrong?

Yeah, what's with the secret talk?

There could be more undead nearby.

Huh? What do you mean?

I see... I didn't know.

But we've fought many undead before.

Even if that undead appears...

...can't we just take it out?

The undead have physical strengths
far stronger than when they were alive.

We can't underestimate them.

If there's a risk of a surprise attack,
we should take it out before moving forward.

But we don't have time to...

I know! There's a way to find them quickly!

Huh?

They react to loud noises and voices.

To lure out the undead, we just
have to make a really loud noise.

But how?

That's easy.

There.

Hey! Warn us before you do that!

Good! They're not here!

That doesn't justify anything!

I'm sorry to get you all caught up in this.

Don't mention it.

My deal with Dominix isn't
the only reason I'm on this trip.

Finding the captain and
dealing with him myself...

That's always been one of my goals.

Roi...

Huh? What?

Captain.

Let's end this quick.

Yeah...

I'll lay you to rest!

I'll handle this one!

This one wish

Connects you and me

I wait so impatiently for tomorrow

Because I know you now

A comfortable breeze passes over

A memory in a precious place

From the day I decided to walk with you

The promise that I hid in my heart

I want to feel that moment, just once

If I stretch my arm out

I should be able to reach
the tomorrow in my dream

This one wish

I gently engrave in my heart

The chain that connects the heart

Cannot ever be broken

The future which we should head to

Beckons us to come closer

I wait so impatiently for tomorrow

Because I know you now

I'll pick up where you left off.

I'll try... doing it all the way.

The cold winds blow hard along this path.

An action taken to protect friends
leads to an unforeseen result.

Each individual determination
shows us a new path.
