Wait! Shiris!

Shiris! Shiris!

Ohh... Would you cut it out, Orson?!

lt`s hard for everyone! Can`t you just shut up and walk?!

Why don`t we rest a bit?

But...

l think we`re within striking distance of Ashram. Besides...

A forced march this long is draining everyone`s strength.

Even if we caught up with Ashram...

...we couldn`t beat him in the condition we`re in.

You`re right. Everyone! Let`s rest for a while!

Say, Parn.

Orson...

Why do you suppose his emotions suddenly came back?

l don`t know. But l think l preferred him the way he was before.

He`s been without feelings for a long time.

He doesn`t know how to deal with having them.

So, that`s why-- Shiris!

Ohh... Parn, can you do something about this guy?!

We`re not gonna be able to fight at this rate!

But Shiris, fighting scares me!

So then why did you come along with us?

Because l love you!

Wh- What did you just say?!

l`m not lying! Ever since the spirit of anger had control of my heart...

...somewhere in those feelings buried inside me, l loved you.

Now l`m able to see that clearly.

Orson, please. Won`t you tell us?

Why did your feelings just suddenly return?

l think it has to do with what happened before.

When l was fighting with Ashram...

...and was hit with the demon sword, Soul Crusher.

When he did, the power hidden inside it...

...began to flow through my body.

And when l was exposed to Abram`s roar on Blue Dragon lsland...

...the spirit`s control over my heart got even weaker.

l think that`s let me resist the spirit`s control over my heart.

l see. Ashram`s demon sword and the dragon`s roar...

...have a direct effect on spirits of the mind.

But what about the spirit of anger?

Has it fled Orson`s heart for good?

No, it`s still there.

lt`s lost the power to control my heart, though.

lt`s not just me.

The spirit of anger exists in everybody`s heart as well.

But as long as you can restrain it with reason...

...there`s no need to get angry.

Orson! l`m really glad you got your feelings back and everything.

But even after what you said, the one l`m in love with is Parn!

Shiris!

Shiris, that`s not true!

You still don`t really know what love is.

You`re just fooling yourself by replacing your anger about...

...Parn beating you with the idea that you love him.

How angry you were about losing to Ashram`s lady warrior proves that.

Losing to her meant that you`re still a "little girl" somehow.

But for you it`s okay to lose to a man...

...as long as you`re in love with him.

Getting your feelings back gave you insight into other people`s hearts?!

Give me a break!

What could you possibly know about me?!

l am honestly in love with Parn!

Don`t link that with how bad l felt losing to that Amazon before!

l`m sorry... l said too much.

Sir Ashram!

No doubt about it.

This is definitely the way into the volcano.

l see.

Wait a moment, Sir Ashram.

What is it?

You`ve seen it yourself.

Shooting Star goes away for days at a time when he hunts for food.

So, why don`t we go in when he leaves?

ln that case, we can get the Scepter of Domination easily.

That`s right.

lt`s dangerous to fight dragons when they`re fully active.

And there is no righteousness in fighting unnecessary battles.

l somehow doubt it will work, but...

Groder! You and Smeddy stand guard!

Sir!

The rest of us will wait for the beast to leave his nest.

ls that clear?

What`s wrong?

Look!

Shooting Star!

Uh-oh! lt`s headed for Raiden again!

Hey! Look!

lt`s them!

That was...!

Troops from Flaim?!

They must have followed us.

No, you can`t! Besides, Shooting Star has left his lair!

We can`t let this opportunity get away!

But...

We`ll hold the others off! You and Priest Hobb should go in, sir!

Get the Scepter of Domination and become king of all Lodoss!

Heh, you have a way with words, Groder...

Very well. l leave the rest to you.

Sir!

Over there! lt`s them!

Guess they don`t want us to go any further.

That`s fine with me!

Look at that! lt`s those mercenaries from before!

But there are a few with them l don`t recognize.

Wha...?! That grass runner!

Just watch this, Orson!

l`ll show you l`m stronger than that woman!

Shiris, don`t do it!

You`re still tired from a hard march through the mountains!

lf you fight her, you can`t win!

l`ll be fine! l`ll settle this with her in an instant!

Shiris...

Something`s wrong. l don`t see Ashram. Could he have...?!

We won`t let you interfere with Sir Ashram!

Now, go, my servants!

Dragon`s tooth warriors!

Highness, Ashram isn`t here!

Yes. l`m afraid he`s already entered the volcano.

With the dragon gone,

even a child could grab the Scepter of Domination!

We don`t have any time! Leave this to me! You go in, sir!

Thank you!

Everyone! Let`s go!

Stop him!

Out of my way!

Damn!

"Falaris, god of darkness! Give me strength!"

"We desire your power! Let this one who moves forward..."

"...taste the spell of stone!"

"Great Marfa!"

"Return this man`s heart and body to the way they were."

So, that woman is a priestess of Marfa.

What`s happening?! An earthquake?!

Uh-oh! He`s summoned a behemoth!

lt`s the strongest land elemental there is!

"l summon thee, lruuk, great king of the wind!"

Let`s go, everyone!

One after another...!

Where is she?! l figured she`d come straight to me!

Shiris, no! Don`t fight her!

Just shut up!

Shiris, look out!

Orson...

l finally found you!

Well, what do you know? lf it isn`t the little girl from before!

Do you want to take me on again?

l may have been careless before, but l won`t be this time!

Careless? Heh, don`t you mean you just weren`t strong enough?

SHUT UP!!!

Shiris, no!

That elf! l didn`t think she could summon the king of the wind!

lf two spirits this powerful clash, the result will be inevitable!

lf you send your behemoth to attack Parn...

...lruuk will cut you down! You don`t dare move!

l should have studied... swordsmanship for these situations!

l didn`t think anyone could cast flame spells so powerfully!

What?!

l can`t let myself be killed here!

"Endless darkness, cover me!"

"Transport me to a place far from here!"

He ran away!

Are you all right?

l was wrong.

You should have been raised as a warrior, not a sorcerer.

Come on! What`s the matter, little girl?!

You`re being a lot clumsier than before!

Shut up!

l won`t lose... l won`t lose!

Come on! What happened to all that spirit?!

"God of Darkness! Shine your dark light and destroy our enemies!"

"Marfa, great mother of the earth! Mother of all who live!"

"Let light fall upon the land!"

She broke my spell! What faith she has! Well, then...

DlE!!!

What?!

"Marfa! Grant guidance to this person`s soul!"

"God of Darkness! Bring evil upon this person`s words!"

"Turn their words of love to words of hatred!"

"Let their words of comfort become unintelligible nonsense!"

"Marfa, give eternal comfort to this man`s soul!"

Shiris!

Out of my way, dammit!

Shiris, no! Don`t die! Shiris!

Shiris!

SHlRlS!

O- Orson...

What should l do? What should l do?!

No! No! Damn it all!

Can`t l protect someone this important to me?!

Don`t l have the strength to save her?!

You... You`re Hyuri, the spirit of anger...!

Hyuri, give me the strength l need!

Give me the strength to save Shiris!

Hyuri, please! Make me a berserker once more!

l don`t want to lose her!

l don`t want to lose another person l love!

lf l can save Shiris, l don`t care what happens to me!

So, please, give me the strength!

Well, now you`re finished, little girl.

Orson, l`m sorry. lt looks like... you were right...after all...

Orson!

What?!

You idiot... You were finally cured...

Damn!

Orson...

lm...possible...

Orson!

Strike me down.

Because it`s my fault you`re going to die.

So l`ll let the two of us die together.

Shiris!

Shiris, don`t!

Go on! Strike me down, Orson...

lt`s not true. Orson, say it`s not true...

Weren`t the two of us always going to be together?

Please, answer me. Please...!

Orson... Orson...

ORSON!!!

Welcome...

...to Lodoss lsland!

And now, what you`ve all been waiting for...

...the second part of the show!

Hey! Everyone! lt looks like we`re totally lost!

How do we get out of this dungeon?!

Hm?! Dungeon?!

What kind of school do you find in a dungeon?!

A DANJON (Co-Ed) school!

Well done, Parn! Your skill has grown yet again!

Thank you very much, Your Highness!

Just what are you two doing?!

What are we going to do?!

At this rate, we`ll never get back to the surface!

But, according to that information we bought in town...

...the Scepter of Domination should be down here!

There`s no way the scepter`s in this boondocks dungeon!

Face it, you got taken!

Shiris! Look at that!

Agh! Don`t scare me like that!

Wha... What is this?

lt looks like a treasure chest. Something`s written on it.

Don`t pop out like that!

lt looks like it`s written in ancient runes...

Can you read it?

Parts are worn away that l can`t read, but...

Shi, something, ee, no, oh, something, ku.

SHlNAl NO OHKOKU? (The local kingdom?)

SHlKAl NO OHCHAKU? (The chairman`s dishonesty?)

SHlBAl NO OHYAKU? (The role of king in a play?)

SHlHAl NO OHSHAKU! (The Scepter of Domination!)

No way! lt`s really here?!

Come on! Let`s open it and see!

Oh, yuck! This thing`s a coffin!

And look at bow-legged (O-KYAKU) this guy was.

But where would the Scepter of Domination be in here?

Of course! l get it! l get it!

SHlTAl NO O-KYAKU! (The corpse`s bow-legs!)

Shitai no O-Kyaku!

Fire Dragon Mountain, the site of the coming showdown!

lt is there that our final battle begins!

Against Kashue, the mercenary king, and the fire dragon...

...Ashram`s demon sword screams out.

At the end of this fierce battle...

...the future of Lodoss will be decided by the victor!
