Get a move on!
Prepare to fire!
This way!
All set!
Ready!
Fire!
"If the world was born from chaos, as they say,
then surely so was I."
Whose words were those?
Mine?
I'm sure I was just bored...
The world is gray.
Why am I carrying this monkey child with me?
Episode 12: Return of the King
I'm done destroying mankind.
I don't care about the Book of Toah or "True Humanity".
I'm returning to my mountain.
I was hoping something would change, you know...
Bullshit!
Hero!
Bullshit!
You're leaving now?!
What? You're still alive, servant?
That's bullshit!
I know what Drel and Vordin are after.
To be honest, I have no reason to stop them.
If they want to go around destroying all traces of the heroes, I'll let them.
No matter what happens to the world of man in the process,
it has nothing to do with me.
You should just...
That's not what I mean!
I'm talking about Luna!
Did you see Luna's eyes?
Can you look at them and tell me the world is gray?
I don't care what "true humanity" is!
Wait, hero! It's dangerous!
I don't care what a true hero is!
I don't care if we're just being deceived by old legends!
Those who have already disappeared from this world...
...have no right to call us, the living, a lesser race!
Look at his eyes, Klen!
What color are they?
Are those the eyes of a lesser race?
Wasn't it seeing his eyes that made you want to see him grow up?
How can you fight me without a Regalia?
Answer me, Klen!
What color are they?
Pale purple...
This is the end, daughter of the sword master!
Cheap imitation of a hero!
What?
Hero!
I'm fine being a cheap imitation.
I don't need to be a real hero!
Even so, I...
I'm a hero!
Is that dark ichor as well?
Rising Dragon Variant...
Mighty Stream Splitter!
Hero!
Did you get him?
No.
It's not enough!
His sword blocked it!
Hero!
Why? She was the one who hurt him!
She was struck twice before her attack.
So this is the limit of a false hero...
Unable to wish...
Unable to make a wish come true...
No...
Huh?
The reason nothing comes true for you,
the reason you can't make any wishes is at all,
is because you've already decided your own limits.
That's why you could never be a hero!
You weren't worthy?
The legends were fake? Quit making excuses!
Shut up!
And let me tell you one more thing.
My target was always that sword!
The Regalia!
Impossible!
Yes. It's impossible.
But I could hear it the whole time...
A strange sound when sword struck sword...
The faint screams of that sword...
A strange sound...?
So the Hammer did hit...
I struck it with my full might, that's all.
Hero!
Now, let's see what happens...
His whole body is dark ichor.
The true owner of the dark ichor is elsewhere.
And what will that being think of a man who's weakened
and has a shattered Regalia?
How awful...
See?
The Lords of Dark Beasts will abandon you on a whim...
Just like I thought...
No! No! Don't go!
I haven't achieved anything!
I haven't...
I didn't want to see your life end like that!
That's why I...
I...
Let's go, Drel.
Don't go, Margo!
Don't go!
The crystals that Boelate wizards embed in their body?
And nine of them...?
But now it's over!
Yes.
My battle with Drel is over.
But the owner of that dark ichor, the Lord of Dark Beasts, Vordin,
isn't going to just give up.
If Vordin appears now...
He won't.
The dark ichor itself has no real power.
Klen!
Master!
Good... Luna's with him.
Luna?
My boy...
Ma-ma!
My boy...
My boy!
Princess T'ala!
My boy!
Luna's mother?
That's right.
Mother and child reunited...
My boy!
Wait there.
What?
Klen, don't stop her!
Miss Alicia! You need to rest!
The king has returned.
The king must return on his own.
On his own?
On his own two feet.
Luna is...
...standing up?
It's okay.
The king does not stop walking forward.
Just a little more... just a little more, my boy!
You can do it, Luna!
You can do it!
Welcome back!
Welcome back, my boy!
Mama... Mama...
He did it!
Amazing, Luna!
Actually, you were the one who attacked the castle and stole the prince.
Well...
Either way...
Miss Alicia!
I'm glad we were able to bring Luna back...
Miss Alicia! Miss Alicia!
Are you all right, Hero?
We need to treat your wounds!
Don't worry. It's not as bad as it looks.
Just go tell the soldiers below... that General Drel is dead!
That's right! I need to stop the war!
I'll go tell them all!
I'll let you handle this!
Okay!
Until the truth is known, I'll keep this.
You'll come to rue the events that transpired here today, Clevatess.
That I promise.
The awakening of Toah is near.
I don't know any "Toah."
And I have no intention of learning about them from you.
You're my enemy.
That ends this battle, but...
There's more for me to learn in the world of mankind.
It's over!
The war is over!
Where am I?
It's over!
General Drel is dead!
That's Rhode Royes, the Eslinn commander!
The hero Alicia has slain General Drel!
Both sides, lay your weapons down!
That Regalia..
It's General Drel's...
Send out the signal!
We're retreating!
Yes, sir!
They stopped their advance...
Call off the attack! Call off the attack!
The enemy general is dead! Call off the attack!
Cease fire!
Call off the attack! Call off the attack! Cease fire!
The enemy general, Drel, is dead!
All units, call off the attack!
Royal guards, sheathe your weapons!
Retreat!
General Drel is dead!
Retreat!
The war is over! It's over!
Retreat! Retreat!
Over...?
Your Holiness, this is...
You mustn't touch it!
What's inside is still alive.
It's probably simply refusing to leave just yet.
None must be allowed to approach it!
None must be allowed within sight of it!
I'm glad I can move,
but the pain really doesn't go away, does it?
The wound in my stomach still hurts.
I healed a fatal wound in an instant.
Of course it's still going to hurt.
Your skills are truly amazing, M-Master!
It was more work to repair your body, though.
I deliberately didn't stop the blood so that no one would get suspicious.
I'll keep this power a secret in the future as well.
Okay... sir!
But what do you think, Klen? About what he said.
What he said about a long-vanished humanity,
and how only they could become true heroes?
Yes. That's right. You think it's true?
I don't know.
All I know for certain is the name Toah,
and the fact that the book was manipulating the kings of Hiden for generations.
The truth probably lies within the legend of the heroes.
Not the legend we have now, but the original one.
The book I found came with a key,
but the key didn't open it.
It went in the hole, but wouldn't turn.
So it's the key to another book?
That's the obvious conclusion.
And it doesn't seem to be the kind of thing that can be forced open.
Two books? Three? Or perhaps more.
And to find them...
Yes?
The hero and her party are requested to visit the castle.
The princess... no, the Queen Dowager, T'ala, is waiting for you!
Much of the castle was lost...
but I'm glad to see the throne is safe.
And more than anything... to see that the king is safe.
I'm sure you know why I've called you here.
The three of you have saved this nation from destruction.
I can't thank you enough.
Nelluru... Klen... and the Hero Alicia.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry it was me!
Why are you apologizing?
I think she believes her low birth makes her unworthy to give a future king milk.
Oh my!
I am the daughter of a lowly bandit slave.
I don't know how to apologize for dirtying the mouth of a king...
She kept saying things like that.
Raise your head, Nelluru.
I don't believe that at all.
When my son was missing, my biggest concern was that he might be hungry.
And maybe his hunger was making him cry...
I don't care where you were born.
You are my true savior.
I'm truly... truly grateful!
Y-Your words honor me!
Now, is there anything the three of you want?
Land, a title... anything I can do. Just ask.
Anything, huh?
Then I...
I would like to be the king's magic teacher.
CLEVATESS
What are you doing, servant? Hurry up!
I'm coming!
Hey... are you sure this doesn't look weird?
Let's go, Alicia.
