Original subtitles

I didn't know the tornado from last year left so much damage...

We found a small village over there.

If we ask, they may be able to provide shelter for tonight.

No, if we barge in, we will cause them trouble.

I'm fine with camping out.

This is quite adequate as a place to stay for one night.

What is it, Princess?

Bolta, I think we are in an ancient ruin!

Could it be from Asgardian times?

Perhaps...

Is this...?

It looks like the Shepherd!

If Clemm saw this, she would be ecstatic.

She passionately believes that everything written in the Celestial Record is true.

I'm the one that recommended this book to her.

So do you also believe in the existence of the Shepherd, Princess?

If the Shepherd does exist, I would love to meet him, too...

Attention please! Those who wish to attempt the Trial of the Blade during the Sacred Blade Festival,

please apply inside the holy temple!

Clemm!

The princess is looking for you. I will take over here.

Thank you, Mr. Tao.

Do any of you want to attempt the Trial of the Blade?

How may I serve you?

Your uncle is a doctor in Griel, correct?

Yes, Master Maltran.

Then Clemm is indeed right for the job.

Um...?

Professor Drake, the astronomer, came to report that a strange cloud...

Or rather, a strange mist is being observed.

It seems to be unaffected by wind or rain and remains in the sky.

The location is Griel.

I understand why you want me.

Hyland has seen many abnormal weather phenomena over the past few years.

Serious damage has been done to the crops.

I want you to find out if anyone is reporting health problems.

Yes, Your Highness! Understood.

Thank you.

I will be on my way.

Princess...

The Celestial Record that you gave me is my most treasured possession.

I'm glad you like it.

What does that mean?!

You want to conscript young people who came to celebrate the Sacred Blade Festival?!

That is absurd, Lord Matthia!

Please, Your Highness.

If the sickness in the neighboring town of Marlind is indeed an epidemic,

sending the army is a logical course of action.

Sending the army and reinforcing its ranks are two separate discussions.

No, they are not.

If we must send a security force, where will we find the manpower?

Your Highness, you should be recruiting patriots under the princess's name.

I see. That must be why you agreed to support the Sacred Blade Festival in the first place.

As a member of the royal family, I hereby declare that the Sacred Blade Festival

will not be treated as a tool for war.

The mist is thickening.

What could that mean?

I cannot say for certain.

I feel, however, that the mist is becoming more eerie... and more sinister.

It all seems like an omen for something terrible.

Can you travel to Griel and find Clemm?

Understood.

Ganette, how long has it been since Clemm took off for Griel?

About two weeks, I believe.

It's taking too long.

Princess.

Tao, what's wrong?

Who are you?!

Who sent you?

Enough. Retreat.

Leader, I'm still...

You are no match for her.

You're real good, Princess...

Why didn't you finish him? You could have, easily.

Is that false justice? Or...

What are you talking about? Answer me!

You want to go to Griel?

I'm worried about Clemm.

If someone must go, it would be me.

She is my student.

No, master. You must continue the preparations for the Sacred Blade Festival.

I don't want any interruptions, even a short one.

Why fixate on the festival so much?

Do you really believe someone will pull this sword out?

The one who pulls out the Sacred Blade, protected by the Lady of the Lake, becomes the Shepherd...

That is indeed just a legend.

I just want the small good omens in this land to stay for as long as possible.

What if Clemm just got too excited in some ruins?

Ruins?

Oh, you didn't hear about it, Tao?

Griel has an ancient underground aqueduct that is no less impressive than the ruins in Ladylake.

Is that so.

She bragged about how she used to explore it when she was a child.

If that really is what's going on, she will need a good scolding.

I'm fine with that...

...as long as she's safe.

Masks on.

Clemm used to tell me the green grapes are like jewels...

In this state, we'll have to forget about bringing back a souvenir for Lady Maltran.

Princess!

Hey! No stealing!

I'm sorry, we weren't trying to...

Forgive us. We did not mean to steal from you.

You don't seem familiar. Are you an outsider?

How dare you! Do you know who...

Enough.

I need to ask you. How long has that mist been there?

It only became really noticeable fairly recently,

but it has been around for a long time... When we noticed it, it was already there.

It was already there...

Here, miss.

Have some!

Thank you.

Let's start at the guard station. Clemm must have stopped there.

Miss Clemm? She took a look around the city, and...

Are you all right?

Please excuse me.

Miss Clemm said she would head towards the forest in the north.

North... towards the mist.

Yes, Princess.

What is that mist?

I don't know. It was just there before we realized anything was happening.

And before we knew it, it grew to that size...

We did send men to check it out, but nothing was out of place.

I want to ask you one thing.

What do you think about the state of this town?

This place is so spiritless.

Tao, stay here and continue to investigate this town.

Understood. And you, Princess?

I will head north... towards the forest.

This must be...!

The mist... is moving?

Clemm!

Princess Alisha...?

Clemm! Behind you!

Princess!

We have to get out of here.

But Professor Drake is still below...

Below?

He said this is the perfect opportunity to discover the nature of the Earthpulse!

Earthpulse...?

Princess Alisha!

Is something going on up above?

If this keeps going, the town will be swallowed... What can we do?

The professor said...

The world is connected via the Earthpulse.

The balance of the world is maintained by circulating the forces of nature through the Earthpulse.

And now, this balance is being disrupted.

In the past, people worshipped and lived side by side with invisible forces.

Mankind did not live on its own.

We became proud and forgot about this, and now that debt is raining down on us.

That is what I believe.

Perhaps by studying the Earthpulse, I can uncover part of the secret.

Bolta!

Ganette!

Bolta... Ganette...

Princess Alisha! Let me off the horse!

It will catch up to us if we go at this rate!

No.

Princess!

I said no! I will not allow such a thing!

I will open the gate of chaos with you.

What? What is going on?

Interesting!

Oh so very interesting!

You...?

This one is my main course!

Am I dreaming...?

What on earth is going on...?

Clemm...? No! It can't be!

Clemm! Clemm!

Answer me, Clemm!

I lost interest.

Why... Clemm... Ganette... Bolta...

Miss...

The path you take extends far in the distance

The wind's on our side, let's go

The answers we seek won't be easy to find,

But we knew that before we set out

The footprints in our dreams never lead in a straight path

Adding as we go, our world map keeps growing

Resonate, song of the wind

Even with closed eyes, our hearts push us forward

The clouds we aim for are further, higher

Reach out, song of the wind

Listen carefully and hear the voice of our hearts bellowing

Shine like a brilliant light

You, become a blue melody
