They`re finally off to battle.

Even the fire dragon can`t stand up to an army this big!

Long live King Kashue!

What?! Priest Hobb has joined Ashram?!

Kashue and Parn, having gone to the shrine of Myrii, the god of war...

...to ask Priest Hobb for his assistance...

...have discovered that Hobb has gone off with Ashram.

l never expected him to help Ashram... A foolish oversight on my part.

King Kashue...

Don`t let it bother you, Parn.

lt just means the number of enemies we must defeat has grown by one.

Although, to be honest, l`d prefer not to make an enemy of him...

ln any case, defeating the fire dragon Shooting Star comes first!

Yes, sir!

Parn...

Shiris?!

lt`s too bad, Parn. Now we have to split up.

Y- Yeah, l guess.

Shiris, it`s time for your group to leave, too, isn`t it?

Should you really be wasting time like this?

l get you, Miss Crabby Elf. See you!

What`s wrong, Deed? You look sort of irritated.

Huh? Uh-uh, it`s nothing.

Elves are forest sprites, so the desert climate doesn`t really suit us.

l see...

l`m sorry for all those times l took you out into the desert, Deed.

Oh, no. Don`t worry about it.

There they go.

While Parn and the others are off slaying Shooting Star...

...we have our own job to do.

Yes... That`s right.

Well, then, we should be off, too.

Okay, Leader. Give us your orders.

Let`s move out. To the free city of Raiden.

lt... lt`s them! The pirates!

Help us!!!

What a haul! What a haul!

Those guys were such pushovers it was almost boring!

Come on! Get this booty unloaded!

Looks like that help we got from the Marmo was worth it.

No kidding. At first l thought this wasn`t gonna be a profitable job.

All we do is wait for Sir Ashram. However...

...this is turning out to be a pretty sweet job!

Yeah.

Boss! lt`s Sir Ashram...

Sir Ashram`s arrived here!

S- Sir Ashram?!

W- We`ve been waiting for you, Sir Ashram!

l`m glad to see you`re okay.

Glad to see me, eh?

l never told you people to start playing pirate around here!

B- But, when we`re not fighting,

we have to steal to support the ship!

Naturally, we`ll split half our haul with you Marmo gentlemen.

Enough! Just get the ship ready! Those are your orders now, Alhaib!

Y- You mean...?

Once we`re ready, we`re going to Blue Dragon lsland.

To meet the sea dragon Abram.

Now hurry!

Y- Yes, sir! At once!

At once!

We have but one objective: The Scepter of Domination!

lf Abram doesn`t have it, we`ll pull out at once!

And if he DOES have it?

Then we must fight him. So long as he is under the spell...

...of the ancient kingdom, his only purpose is to guard that treasure.

Win once, win all. lt`s a proper way to look at things.

lt`s not as though a dragon can`t be reasoned with.

First, though, we must determine if he has the treasure.

lt looks as though l`ll have to leave that up to you, Groder.

Leave it to me, Sir Ashram.

Where are you going?

Well, even a minor sorcerer like me has other interests.

The unusual land formations around here intrigue me...

...so l was hoping to take a walk and get a closer look at them.

l see. Just be careful you don`t fall off of the cliffs.

And be sure also to give my regards to Master Wagnard.

Sir Ashram is preparing to meet Abram on Blue Dragon lsland.

He will surely deliver to you that which you desire, Master.

However, don`t make light of him.

Sir Ashram seems to have realized what your plans are.

lf he couldn`t do that, he`d be of no use to me.

Don`t forget we need the Soul Crystal Ball as well.

l pray your next report will be a favorable one.

By your command.

Oh, Kardis! The time of your resurrection is near!

When that happens, l shall gain an understanding of all spells!

l shall become the supreme being!

That man Groder can not be trusted.

He`s hiding secrets somewhere deep inside his heart.

l know that.

lt`s not just him. l`m suspicious of Gaberra and Astar as well.

Aside from the mercenaries Smeddy and Gilram...

...the others were sent by ones like me,

rulers of Marmo, and l don`t trust them.

ln that case, you should be very careful.

A man who fears petty betrayal isn`t worthy of the Marmo crown.

That`s part of what it is to be a king.

As you say.

lt is in the nature of a hero to ignore trivial matters.

Quite right...

And a true hero always gets what he sets out to gain!

Orson and the others have arrived at the free city of Raiden but...

...with the panic among the sailors caused by the recent pirate raids...

...they cannot secure a ship to Blue Dragon lsland.

Damn! lt`s not working.

Dammit! How can sailors be so scared of some pirates?!

You can`t really blame them for it.

Not everyone can be as strong as you are.

ln that case, we should take care of these pirates ourselves!

Take care of them...?

How can you say that? Have you forgotten our mission?

Yeah! Really, this is why l hate war happy mercenaries like you!

What did you call us?!

ln that case, why don`t l help you out? Hm?

Who are you?

You`re a meadow sprite. A grass runner, right?

They call me Maar the Bard.

Oh, but l`m not just a poet. l know all sorts of things!

For instance, how to find the pirates...

Really?!

Of course! And in return, you take me with you! Okay?

Whoa!

Be serious! You think we`d believe a cock and bull story like that?!

What`re you doing?! Lemme go!

Cecil, really...

Ooh... lf Parn was here, he`d be all for taking out those pirates.

Yes, you`re right.

Then let`s take care of those pirates ourselves.

Wh- What are you saying?! Are you sure about this?!

lt`s really simple.

As long as the pirates are active, we won`t be able to get a ship.

Therefore, our only choice is to get rid of the pirates.

W- Well, l guess you`re right, but...

Your information about the pirates is correct, right?

There aren`t many of us, but if we catch the enemy, unaware, we could win.

This guy knows what he`s talking about.

One more thing.

One more thing?

lf we capture the pirates` ship...

...we save ourselves the trouble of outfitting a ship of our own.

That`s right...

Okay, it`s settled, then!

Nobody`s got a beef with our leader`s plan, do they?

lt looks like l really was right in choosing you to lead.

You really are just like Parn.

Now that that`s settled, let`s have a pre-battle celebration!

Tonight, we drink and make merry!

ln that case, you can use this!

Hey! That`s my wallet! When did you...?!

Whoops! Uh-oh!

Why, you...! Come back here!

Orson...

Did that talk before make you nervous?

That talk before?

When l said that Parn would want to fight the pirates.

Did you go along with my idea because you wanted to show Parn up a little?

No, it`s just as l explained it.

No other reason?

No other reason.

Sheesh! You should be a LlTTLE jealous, you know!

You make a girl feel like she`s not worth fighting over!

l wonder how Slayn and the others are doing now.

Do you think Orson`s doing a good job?

They`re fine. l`m sure Slayn chose the right leader for them.

And if we can free Orson from the control of the spirit of anger...

...then l think Leylia will finally be healed of the guilt over...

...what happened while her mind was under Karla`s control.

That`s what Slayn hopes, anyway.

Yes, that`s one of Slayn`s good qualities.

He goes so far out of his way to help others...

Humans really are a strange breed.

Almost incomprehensible to an elf like me.

His good quality... Yeah, l agree with you.

He`d prefer to just grow enough much food as he needed and...

...teach children to read.

That`s really the life Slayn would choose for himself.

But still...

The times won`t allow that.

Besides that...

How would you like to become a king?

While there are still things l can change on my own...

...l should concentrate on them. Right Deed?

What`s wrong?

Parn... Look there.

What`s...?!

This is Shooting Star`s doing... lt`s a massacre!

The dragon`s hunting ground... A fitting name for this place!

We`ll launch our attack here! ls that understood?!

You really think he`ll return?

He will. Without a doubt.

lt seems the one thing he can`t stand is...

...humans intruding into his feeding grounds.

Mmm... Orson...

C`mon... You call yourself a man...?

You`ll catch a cold.

Mmm... Warm...

You should be a LlTTLE jealous, you know!

Don`t worry, though.

l`m sure this journey will get your old feelings back.

l believe in the strength of your will.

Should l try facing it?

The true face of rage...

My sister...

lt started here. All memories after it are controlled by rage...

Orson... Forgive me.

Rage...

Rage...

St- Stop it... Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it!

Rage...

Destroy...everything...

Rage... Destroy everything...

Rage... Destroy...

Orson... Forgive me.

NO!

That was too close...

l can`t try a dangerous test like that again.

But l`m sure l heard it.

That was the voice of the spirit of anger...

Let`s go.

Here he comes!

That`s him...

Shooting Star...

At last...

That`s who we`re facing.

But... lt`s so big!

Welcome...

...to Lodoss lsland!

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

The second part of the show!

Hi there! Sorry to keep you waiting! Welcome to the first annual...

...Make Solemn Orson Who`s Forgotten His Feelings Laugh Contest!

Okay, then...

Okay, let`s have a hand for entry number one!

Go for it!

lf you keep swinging that sword (SOODO) around...

...you`re gonna cause some trouble (SOODOOSHll)!

Okay, next contestant!

l am the spirit of wind. Hey, Orson!

l can teach you (SElRETE) all about spirits (SElREl)!

Next, please...

Okay, let`s get the show on the road.

"Hey, lady! A magician(MAHOU TSUKAl) has moved into the lot next door!"

"Oh, my! Let`s leave him alone!" (MAA, HOU-TTE OKlMASHOU)

That`s the joke, folks.

Can`t ANYBODY make you laugh?

You`re all amateurs, everybody!

Let ME have a crack at him!

King Kashue!

Orson (ORUSAN), Mama`s going out!

Can you watch the house (ORUSUBAN) for me?!

Agh! Gimme a chance to try it again!

Orson... ORUSUBAN...

At last, the time to battle Shooting Star has come!

Flying in the air on huge wings!

lncinerating the ground with his fire breath!

The soldiers of Flaim fall in huge numbers!

At the same time, Orson faces the ghostly light of the Demon Sword!
