Remus... Remus, wake up!

Rinda,

what's wrong?

We're leaving this place.

I have a bad feeling.

It's the Mongauls!

It's the Mongaul Army!

Father!

Mother!

Rinda!

Remus!

Both of you were all right.

The Mongaul troops have entered the castle!

Please hurry!

I understand!

Hurry, Mother!

Riya, please take care of them.

What are you saying?

We will surely follow you later.

Hurry.

Father!

Mother!

It's already too late.

Please hurry!

Don't let the heir to Parros escape.

Damn!

Rinda...

I've found you, Twin Pearls!

Brother Naris!

Leave this place to me.

Hurry up and take the kids.

Yes.

Mongaul bastards.

I won't forgive you!

Janos Tower.

Are you two ready?

Young Lady Rinda.

Young Master Remus.

I'm ready.

Me too.

I'm going to send you two to your aunt, Lady Evar, in Argos.

Here I go!

Oh no!

The coordinates are off!

Jarn, Jarn have mercy on them!

The God of Fate,

Jarn, led them;

but they themselves have yet to realize

that their fate has already been determined.

The Leopard Mask

The Leopard Mask

Remus, how long are you going to keep crying?

This is not Argos; this is Mongaul territory.

But what should we do without Mom and Dad?

Ouch!

These thorns...

Remus, lower your voice!

But, the vasya tree is full of thorns; it hurts.

Hey Rinda, I'm already tired of having vasya fruit.

Maybe we can hunt and have something better.

We can't do that!

How many times do I have to tell you?

We're not in these woods for a picnic!

But I'm so hungry, I feel like fainting.

The same goes for me.

What's wrong?

Don't you hear something?

No, I don't hear anything.

The cavalry from before came back!

Run!

Hurry up, Remus!

Wait!

Hurry up and climb down!

Wait!

Rinda!

I can't take it anymore!

Remus!

Rinda!

Savages, Mongaul dogs!

May the thunderbolts of Janos

strike and burn you all!

Rinda!

Someone...

help us.

What is that?

Who are you?

Wh-What is that?

Monster!

It's the Demon of Rood!

Don't panic!

You monster!

Captain!

He buried him...

Amazing...

Remus!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

What is that?

The demon...

...Doal?

No...

He is strong like—

like a god.

He's strong.

Who is he?

Now is our chance, let's go!

Rinda! What are you doing?

Rinda!

He wants us to do something for him.

Forget that. Let's go!

He saved us.

He?

Are you saying that is a human?

Look, he is human.

He must've been forced to wear a leopard mask.

It's better to leave him alone, Rinda!

Rinda!

Hey, what do you want me to do?

If there's anything we could do...

G-Guin...

Guin?

Are you all right?

He's hot...

This person is sick.

He seems to be very weak.

Remus, bring some water!

Stop it, Rinda!

Quit complaining and go!

Okay!

Why...

Why did this happen?

Mother...

Father...

This is all a dream.

It must be.

What are you called?

Guin...

Guin.

Is that your name?

It... seems so.

Guin.

It's a nice name.

I am Rinda.

This is my twin brother, Remus.

Where did you come from?

Aurra...

Aurra? Is that where you came from?

I...

...don't know.

Aurra.

Guin.

The night is falling.

Guin, the night is falling.

It seems so.

Is something wrong with that?

Don't you know what this place is?

This is Rood Forest.

The night here is ruled by apparitions and savage tribes.

Rood Forest...

I feel like I have heard that name before,

but I don't know why I am here.

Just like how I don't know about this.

Why am I wearing this?

You... lost your memories?

Seems like it.

Who did I fight against?

You, at the very least, destroyed an entire Mongaul black knight platoon.

I did?

I did that?

Yes,

and...

...you saved us.

Now then, let's go.

It is dangerous to stay here.

I'm not very fond of it, but let's use the black knights' torches.

Who am I?

Guin...

Is that my name?

Who did I fight against, and why am I in this forest?

Why was I forced to wear this mask?

What kind of curse prevents me from taking it off?

Was I being chased?

Where was I born, and who taught me swordsmanship?

What kind of life did I live?

My port, or my roof.

My armor.

My master.

Where are all those things?

I don't know.

You must be tired.

You will remember all of it;

and in time, you will also be able to take off that mask.

Then, he really destroyed a whole platoon with his bare hands?

Yes.

That is probably not human.

It must be either the mythical leopard man Cirenos or the demon Doal!

Why is such a thing in Rood Forest?

Wh-What is that?

This belongs to the twins that were with it.

Twins, you say?

Th-This is?!

This is the great crest of Parros.

Don't tell me the heir to Parros...

No, that's impossible.

This is Rood Forest.

Even on a fast steed, it takes about ten days to reach here.

It's impossible for kids to have walked this far in just a day.

The water apparitions don't come out onto the land themselves,

and the fire — a protector from Janos — will protect us from everything.

For the time being, let's wait until dawn breaks

and find our way out of these woods then.

Don't sleep. If you do, the dream eaters will possess you.

I'll be fine.

I know it's hard,

since we haven't slept for two days...

But once tomorrow comes...

But no one knows if we will survive to even see tomorrow.

Tomorrow will come.

I know.

Tomorrow will come,

and everything will be fine.

No matter what lies ahead tomorrow,

it'll be better than yesterday.

Why are you two here, in a dangerous place like this?

We—

Ouch!

That hurts! What are you doing?

You saved us,

but we still don't know whose side you are on.

I'm not on anyone's side.

Then all the more reason, Guin.

What's wrong?

What is this?

Just now,

when I said his name,

it felt like something passed through my body.

Guin,

who are you?

Rinda?

Is something wrong?

No.

It's nothing.

You see, Rinda

is a prophet.

When we were born into this world,

Parros' prophet said that

we are the Twin Pearls.

One will be the cure, and the other will be the treasure.

We were told that it means Rinda will become a great sorceress,

while I will become Parros' ruler.

Parros...

Ruler...

Remus!

Parros... no longer exists.

The crystal tower was burned down,

its ruler and his wife were killed,

and the saints annihilated.

I will never forget the day they caused bloodshed under the blue moon, in the year of the dragon.

What's wrong?

It smells like rain.

It's going to rain?

It seems so.

Who's there?!

Something moved back there!

I know it.

It's them!

Here they come!

It's the ghouls!

They ate the corpses and possessed them!

Guin.

Perhaps your memories have come back?

Take the torches, children!

If you don't want to be eaten, stay behind me!

Take this!

Fight, children!

Keep the fire alive

if you want to live to see tomorrow!

Yes!

Go away!

I-It's raining.

Guin, it's raining!

If the fire dies, we'll...

Fight!

And hope!

You are the successors to the Holy Kingdom of Parros, aren't you?

Guin, the fire!

It's no use!

Damn it.

There's no end to them!

Help!

Get a grip of yourself, boy!

Cutting these things down will only increase their numbers.

Follow me, children!

If you want to live through the night,

then dive with me!

Remus, let's go!

Rinda.

W-Wait a sec!

Are you two alive?

Yes, somehow.

The air smells sweet.

I wonder why it's so light...

We were fortunate.

Although, things will not always go as well like it did this time.

What are you going to do now?

Well...

For the time being, I will go and find out who I am.

I need to find out who I am, why I'm wearing this mask,

and what Aurra is.

I see.

We...

It looks like there is no time to think anyway.
