- 0:05I trust this will suffice. God smiles upon the generous.
- 0:12Away with you. Back to your sex bit beggar.
- 0:24A land grotesque as it's people. You dreamt of utopia.
- 0:29You saw the tribes united as one.
- 0:36That dream died long ago. You should have done the same.
- 1:08by my hand. I cannot fathom it.
- 1:13His Majesty killed in his own bed.
- 1:16The blooms upon the. Prince's brave had yet to.
- 1:19Wilt without. An air to wear the crown what
- 1:21will. Become of the.
- 1:22Royal magic thus vulnerable, an invasion might undo us.
- 1:26From within. Or without.
- 1:28The state hangs on a precipice. It may even come to civil war.
- 1:32In dark times. We must stand together, Your
- 1:37Eminence. Who could do this?
- 1:41Few could even enter the King's chambers, let alone draw close.
- 1:44And yet, and yet His Majesty's arcane power could deflect near
- 1:48any blade. With all the royal bloodlines
- 1:50magic, who could harm him at all?
- 1:53Shadows stir in the castle, just as they did with the Prince.
- 1:57What hell bound soul could end a royal life?
- 2:01Who would dare such atrocity? Louise.
- 2:08A shame to die with no heirs. The Prince was taken too soon
- 2:13and only a king may wield the royal sceptre, the very crux of
- 2:17his vaunted bloodlines. Magic which made such a fine
- 2:20deterrent to war. One has to ask them dead who
- 2:26shall take the throne. I can feel you watching me from
- 4:18a place beyond my sight. Whoever you are, please tell me,
- 4:26does our world pique your interest?
- 4:28Pardon my curiosity, but would you tell me your name?
- 4:33That is to say, tell me who you really are.
- 4:38The one who meets my eyes across a strange threshold.
- 4:57The most unusual name, one I've never heard in our world, which
- 5:02suggests to me you might resign in a world beyond ours.
- 5:06It is a curious thing that in your eyes, my entire world is
- 5:11but the dawn of the story and untold.
- 5:14Or, to put it another way, this is a fantasy, but can it truly
- 5:20be dismissed as something so far removed from me?
- 5:23If indeed you wish to cross to our world for a time, I would
- 5:27first ask that you indulge one question.
- 5:31Is fantasy limited to the confines of imagination?
- 5:36Would you call it a powerless creation?
- 5:42A passing Daydream? An idle creation of a distracted
- 5:46mind? That must be how you see it.
- 5:49I confess my own answer still eludes me.
- 5:53But consider if fantasy is born from hope, a desire to make the
- 5:58world better than it is, then that hope can be made manifest
- 6:04thus. Thus change come, and thus is
- 6:07fantasy forged into a new reality.
- 6:11Perhaps the story about to unfold before you will tell us.
- 6:15I'm thoroughly invested now myself.
- 6:18So let this tale begin. Looks like we're in the clear.
- 6:45The capital's just through this desert is.
- 6:48It true then the king is dead. Aye, and the guards are more
- 6:52concerned with the funeral than keeping the roads safe.
- 6:55So now the monsters are roaming in broad daylight, no soldiers
- 6:59to stop them. Monsters, huh?
- 7:02I've certainly been hearing the stories.
- 7:05To say nothing of the vacant throne.
- 7:07There's a storm coming, mark my words.
- 7:10That much is certain. What's the problem?
- 7:17They're bandits. Come on.
- 7:22Let's see some respect for the militia.
- 7:25Us folk. We're commoners.
- 7:27No crown or church will save us. But Lord Louise will save us,
- 7:32one and all. All we ask is no tribute.
- 7:36You're with us or against us. And if you're against us?
- 8:03Next one, look at you. What have we got here?
- 8:13He's an elder, so he is. No holes, no knife is filthy
- 8:19gremlin like you. What you got on the Capitol?
- 8:25Oh, what's this? Looks like you've been holding
- 8:29out on us, boy. Should have listened to us,
- 8:50chum. Now fall in lie.
- 8:56That's all. To get stuff like that.
- 8:57You drew steel. I take you. 2 are prepared to
- 9:07die by it. This place already feels like a
- 9:32death trap. You hear all that stuff about
- 9:34Lord Louise saving us? Hey, you OK?
- 9:39You still got all your limbs attached.
- 9:41Well, at least they didn't figure out our mission.
- 9:43Definitely could have gone worse.
- 9:50What mission? Come on, this is no time for
- 9:54jokes. You do know that if anyone finds
- 9:56out who we really are, it's all over, right?
- 9:59The mission's more important than either of our lives.
- 10:01If we screw this up, there's no going back.
- 10:14Think we'll make it? Let's go.
- 10:39Stop. Watch out,
- 11:02OK? Hurry.
- 11:15They look pretty tough. Careful now.
- 11:21Looks like they gave up. What a relief.
- 11:26Look, just checking.
- 11:43But you do remember what we're here to do, right?
- 11:49Right, what am I doing again? Oh, I don't know, the mission.
- 11:54That's more important in our own lives.
- 11:56First, we get to the royal capital and get you enlisted as
- 12:00a Guardsman at the Army's recruitment center.
- 12:02This could decide the fate of the whole country.
- 12:05We either do our jobs or we die. And if it's all the same to you,
- 12:09I'd rather stay alive. So we've got to see this mission
- 12:12through. Come on.
- 12:13We don't want the sun to go down on us in the waist.
- 12:16Let's pull ourselves together and get back on the road.
- 12:18You know what they say. Anxiety breeds the world's
- 12:21cruelest monsters. I mean, fairies say that at
- 12:24least I can at least cast my usual spell for you.
- 12:27It's the small comforts, right? Right.
- 12:39Music was the first magic this world ever knew, after all,
- 12:43makes the road a. Little easier.
- 12:56Look over there. Let's go.
- 13:07Got a SEC. It's all clear.
- 13:18Yikes. I think we're in a little over
- 13:20our heads. They look pretty tough.
- 13:26Careful now and I'm like this strong ones ahead.
- 13:37We've got to be careful. Run look not good.
- 13:55This land of eight tribes and three nations, all blessed by
- 13:59the power of magic. the United Kingdom of Euchromia EU is 785.
- 14:10Euchromia is shaken to the core by the sudden death of its king.
- 14:15Anxiety Breeze descent among the tribes.
- 14:19Disparities tear them apart, and no mortal mind remembers the
- 14:23heroic tales upon which their land was built.
- 14:35By this story of fantasy, may this faded world be painted
- 14:40anew. Whoa.
- 15:11Just look. Get on with it then drop the
- 15:36dog. Hang it dead.
- 15:39I've done nothing wrong. Knife dog.
- 15:41Don't try to deny it. You trample the law for the fun
- 15:45of it. Let it be known for misuse of an
- 15:49igniter. You will hang by the neck.
- 15:52Until then, there's. No way that crowd is going to
- 16:01listen to anything of Paribas. Such a shame.
- 16:07Like you. Spare some coin.
- 16:12Bless you. Oh, care for me?
- 16:16Don't. You have any St. smarts?
- 16:24Come on, kid. We're not tourists here.
- 16:33We've got to stay focused. Right.
- 16:38You noticed back on the wagon, you might be the only elder here
- 16:42in the. Whole.
- 16:42City, even capital is incredible.
- 16:57Just look at all the different tribes.
- 16:59You never see this kind of diversity out in the
- 17:01countryside. Not that it's very balanced.
- 17:04Might see more from Mars and Roussant than anyone else.
- 17:08Which means a dopey elder kids going to stick out like a sore
- 17:10thumb. Try to keep your head down, OK?
- 17:14Hey. Did you hear?
- 17:16What they're? Saying about His Majesty, they
- 17:18say it. Wasn't illness.
- 17:19At all I heard it was foul play. Assassination.
- 17:25Careful, who hears you say that? But it's just like the Prince,
- 17:29isn't it? They say he was attacked in the
- 17:31dead of night. A war of succession is coming, I
- 17:35tell you. Sounds like monsters have been
- 17:38prowling the countryside. They're sending the guard out to
- 17:41deal with them. The army's really gone to hell.
- 17:44It's a far cry from only. I count Luis at the helm.
- 17:46I'll tell you that much. Hard to see how the nation can
- 17:48come back from this. We'd not have to ask if the
- 17:51Prince was still alive. The king dead, his son stricken.
- 18:03Are there none left to bear the weight of the crown?
- 18:07We've done all in our power, but not even the kingdom's best.
- 18:12The Saint could purify this affliction.
- 18:15Over 10 years, he has languished under this curse.
- 18:18How much longer can his body hold out?
- 18:21No doubt His Highness would protest, but since he cannot, we
- 18:26have no choice. For the man who cursed His
- 18:30Highness and murdered our king, there can be no mercy.
- 18:34I never thought I would have to ask this of you, but there are
- 18:38so few was left. Now there is no one else to turn
- 18:42to. Will you infiltrate the military
- 18:45to deliver a message to our contacts there?
- 18:47This is your mission for all our six.
- 18:52You cannot fail. Hey, are you listening?
- 19:02Well, I guess I can't blame you for feeling nostalgic.
- 19:08You and the Prince were pretty close anyway.
- 19:12Getting to the capital was only the beginning.
- 19:14Now comes the real high stakes part.
- 19:17You've got to go get enlisted so you can meet up with our
- 19:19operative. Remember, nobody here knows who
- 19:22we are. Nobody here knows the Prince
- 19:24might still have a claim to the throne.
- 19:26That means if we get busted, that's it.
- 19:28Nobody's going to save us. Step one, let's figure out where
- 19:33the recruitment center is. Shouldn't be too hard
- 19:36considering the need for soldiers.
- 19:45So
