Light and Darkness.

The final battle of the gods climaxed in a clash between

Marfa, Goddess of All Creation, and Kardis, Goddess of Destruction.

At the end of their fierce battle, the stricken goddesses

had split the continent, forming a new land.

Since then, people have come to call this new continent

"Lodoss--The Accursed Island.”

The way that you embrace me from behind

The words of your land you softly whisper to me

Romantic in a way that almost tears at my heart

I am your prisoner

lo sono prigioniera

Tonight you have gently bound me up within your arms, my love

And even if the morning sun rose upon the both of us

It wouldn't shine near as bright as your dark eyes do to me

"The Demon Dragon of Fire Dragon Mountain"

Fire Dragon Mountain. Home of the foul fire dragon Shooting Star.

So as to be part of the dragon quest, Parn has joined Kashue's party.

Think it'll rain?

I sure hope so.

It's him!

Here he comes!

Fire!

Where the devil were our sentries?!

Here he comes.

Damn that...!

Parn!

Wait! It's too dangerous to go out!

Parn!

Parn.

Wait!

We're only after the Scepter of Domination, right?

And it will be mine once I defeat the Ancient Dragon.

You mean...?!

This sword calls out for the beast's blood!

And for that, you will first need to possess the Scepter.

You doubt my abilities?

But...!

Stand aside!

Only foolish humans or goblins embark on hopeless battles.

"Hopeless"?

Don't underestimate the might of an Ancient Dragon!

A scratch can grow into a fatal wound.

One who dwells in Marmo would do well to remember that.

Parn!

Recklessness isn't a virtue.

Well, maybe it is in your case.

Anyway, I can't shake the feeling that thing was only toying with us.

Like we're just worms to it!

Worms have lives, too.

A person's life... A worm's life... There is no difference.

Life is life!

Deed.

You allowed the High Elf to escape?

Forgive me, my lord.

And what of Pirotess?

Well, she's...

Gone to Fire Dragon Mountain?

Dark Elf in name, but a woman all the same.

And you have the gall to return here?

"Baylos, almighty power of fiery destruction, come forth!

Baylos, almighty power of fiery destruction...”

L-Lord Wagnard!

So, the Scepter of Domination will come before the High Elf.

The "Dragon's Path"?

It sounds like an old legend.

Yes. In Flaim we have the ancient legend of the Dragon Slayer.

At the end of the path supposedly lies the dragon's fortress.

I getcha.

It's a back door right into Shooting Star's lair, right, Shadam?

Exactly.

In the past, many young warriors dreamed of being the Dragon Slayer.

But none ever returned.

A gamble.

Quite, but I see no other way. What do you all think?

It's risky.

Most certainly risky, but not suicidal.

There's another part of the legend.

Three lances possessed by Myrii, the God of War.

They'll help us to seal the dragon's evil.

The priests are forging the lances of Myrii as we speak.

Right, we'll set out as soon as they've finished.

King Kashue, take me with you!

You want so badly to go?!

Yes, sir!

One condition. No reckless heroics like before.

Will you follow my orders?

Yes, Majesty!

Slayn, I fear the situation is worse than I imagined.

Then, Lodoss...

Faces a grave ordeal.

Mother.

Your powers will be necessary.

--If I can be at all helpful... --I shall help as well.

Leylia.

Slayn, take care of her.

Marfa. Give us strength.

Now is the time.

Take me with you.

And if you get in my way?

Then kill me.

As you wish.

Let's go!

So, this is the Dragon's Path.

Highness, take this.

Believing in Myrii's divine protection and in your own power,

may you bury yourself into the creature's heart.

The wound you inflict will be surely harsh.

--Shadam, I leave the rest to you. --Yes, sir.

Grant him a safe return.

Let's go!

It splits off.

-I'll check it out. --Wait!

Remember, the obvious path is often the wrong one.

Meaning we go this way.

Don't touch it! You'll be burned!

Shirts!

"Sylph, spirit of wind. Let thy winds shield us from the flames...

Sylph, spirit of wind. Let thy winds shield us from the flames!"

Quickly now!

Deed!

Run! Don't even think of trying to fight it!

Wh-What in...?

Wait!

"Divine power, buried since ancient times, reveal thyself..."

It must be... Highness!

Here.

I can feel the beast's bloodlust.

What's wrong, Deed?

Someone's here!

An odd place to meet, is it not, Mercenary King?

Ashram!

Ashram! You devil!

Wait!

The little whelp from before.

What are you up to?!

What if I said it was the possession of Lodoss?

What?!

Would you be so kind as to come to me this time?

You...!

You've improved.

I think you said something about a sword not being a toy!

But still so easy.

Lord Ashram!

The fire?!

I see. The Scepter of Domination controls the dragon as well!

--That's...! --The Scepter of Domination!

Impossible!

Parn, we can't let the Marmo have that!

What?!

The Dragon Slayer, eh?

I shall be the one to bring the beast down!

--Stand aside! --No! It's impossible!

The Scepter of Domination is ours!

--Let's do it, Parn! - Right!

It's too dangerous! Sylph, protect him!

For... the conquest... of Lodoss...

Pirotess!

We have to get out of here!

Parn, hurry!

First encountered amidst flame, Ashram disappears amidst flame.

Their meetings were marked more by the crossing swords

than by the exchange of words.

Yet Ashram's silent death has engraved itself upon Parn's heart.

Let the wonders come to me

The Fantasia fills my heart

I shall not wander anymore, all for the love I have for you

The fairies of the wind, spread their wings out to fly

Racing at the speed of light, down through the valley of time

Our falling in love was destiny

On this night which seems to have no end

Eternity awaits you and me, now that you are here

Lay down your head upon my breast, and go to sleep, my love
