RECORD OF LODOSS WAR Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

What`s that?!

Uh-oh! Magic users! Cast protection spells!

The living are fated to return to nothingness.

The fate of light is to be consumed by darkness.

Neese!

Neese!

Lady Neese!

Parn!

The doorway has been opened!

Hang on!

Prince Reona... ls Lodoss finished now?

Don`t be ridiculous! We`re going to save Lodoss!

Y- Yes, Highness...

Don`t shrink back! Stand and fight!

"Holy power, heal this man`s wounds..."

Are you all right?

"Holy light... Grant us your divine protection!"

We must have faith for now.

ln the divine protection of all the gods of Light.

And in the heroes of Lodoss as well!

We`re going to Marmo as well! Hurry preparations to depart!

Kardis!

Kardis...

How can this be...?

Neese!

No! Spark!

You fool! A mere human dares challenge a god?

"Myrii, god of all war!"

"Spirit of fire! Salamander of flame!"

We can`t lose! l gave her my word!

l`ll save Neese, even if it costs me my life!

Neese! Wake up! NEESE!

Spark...

Spark! Where are you?! Spark!

Spark...!

Stop it! Stop it, please!

Why do you reject me?

This is the destiny we share as the Doorway.

No... You and l aren`t the same!

You must know, don`t you?

That you are the reincarnation of Naneel, the queen of the dead.

l am your true self. l am Naneel.

No! l am Neese!

Neese, daughter of the sage Slayn and Leylia, the priestess of Marfa!

You were born to resurrect the Destroyer.

Surely you knew of your destiny.

And l came to this place to fight that destiny!

l won`t allow the Destroyer to be reborn!

lt`s hopeless. There is no way you can deny me now.

l have always been here within you.

And now you shall exist within me.

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

"Banish the evil soul which dwells within me!"

What`s happening?!

No!

As her opponent rejects her...

...any wish for the Destroyer to die only gives her strength!

Lady Neese!

"Marfa, great mother of the earth..."

Spark?!

Neese...

Neese!

Kardis is moving into Neese!

NEESE!!!

Spark, run!

Captain!

NEESE!

SPARK!!!

Hurry! Move it!

Highness! Look at that!

Uh-oh!

Raise the sails!

We have to get to Marmo as soon as we can!

Neese!

Spark!

Spark!

Neese!

Spark!

You fool... ls there any living thing more foolish than a human?

Who are you?!

l am the other soul who dwells in Neese`s heart.

Naneel, the queen of the dead.

Let Neese go!

What are you doing? Don`t you understand?

When you point a sword at me, you point it at Neese...

...the one you swore to save even if it cost you your life!

Killing me means you kill Neese at the same time.

ls that what you want?

Neese...

Spark... lt`s true.

l, the servant of Marfa, and Naneel, the queen of the dead.

Both souls exist inside of me.

This is my destiny....

Spark, l... l...!

ln the end, this is the limit of man.

Now you, too, shall become part of the eternal kingdom of the dead!

Spark!

You intend to fight me? l invite you to try!

So what if you`re the soul of the queen of the dead?!

So what if she`s the Doorway?!

No matter what destiny you may have been handed...

...you`re still you, right, Neese?!

l swore to you... That l`d protect you, no matter what, Neese!

So...!

l won`t give up! l will get you out of here!

Because l... Neese! Because l don`t want to lose you!

l want you back to the way you belong!

lt`s time l showed this human...

...that l AM the way she belongs!

Spark... l won`t give up, either.

l believe in the person l was.

"Marfa, great mother of the earth..."

Neese?!

Soul of Naneel, queen of the dead... l accept you into me.

Yes. As it should be.

Hero of Lodoss...

This holy girl answered your feelings for you.

Her divided self is now one.

That benevolence is a teaching of the goddess of the earth.

When she absorbed that power, the girl`s heart surrounded...

...the evil power and she became a doorway to summon me.

Marfa, the mother of the earth...!

The danger of the Destroyer`s resurrection is now past.

There are now two choices open to you.

Choices? What do you mean by that?

l may use this girl`s body to be reborn into this world.

And as the creator of Lodoss...

...l can lead you all to eternal peace.

Hero of Lodoss... Do you wish for me to be reborn?

And if you`re reborn, what happens to Neese?

Once the doorway is opened, her body shall be destroyed.

The girl`s soul shall be taken to the world of the gods.

ln return, you all may finally have eternal peace and happiness.

Now then, choose, hero of Lodoss.

For Lodoss to finally know peace... That`s everyone`s wish.

But l think peace for Lodoss...

...is something that has to be created by all who live there.

So, please... Please return Neese to us!

Very well, then.

That light...

Marmo is...!

We thank the gods for their divine protection.

What in the world...?

What`s going on?

Garrack...

Hey! Look at that!

Spark!

Neese!

Lady Neese!

Spark...

l came back...

Yeah. That`s right.

Welcome home, Neese.

Thank you, Spark.

The war was over.

The threat of Kardis the Destroyer was past.

And to Lodoss, painted in the hues of war...

...light once again returned.

Parn, the heroic free knight who had saved Lodoss...

...was given the title Knight of Lodoss.

And a new knight had been born here as well.

So long as brave young people lived there...

...Lodoss would never be controlled by darkness.

To the south of the continent of Alecrast lies an island called Lodoss.

But there are no longer any who ever call it the accursed island.

Welcome to Lodoss lsland!

And now, what you`ve been waiting for, the grand finale!

We did it! We`re finally here!

Spark...

lt seems you`ve safely completed your task, Spark.

Th- That voice!

lsn`t that...?

Highness! What are you doing here?!

To celebrate your completing the mission...

...everyone came to have a cookie party!

Come and join us!

Me?!

Well done, Spark.

Yes, sir! My pleasure!

A few of your trials were pretty tough...

...SLlGHTLY!

But you mastered all those tests brilliantly!

Now, it`s time that l...

This is it! Now l become an official knight!

...gave you your next assignment.

Yes, sir! l`m ready to accept my next task!

Congrats on your new assignment!

This time you have to take these cookies to...

...the Ultimate Bad-Ass dragon on the Mountain of Ultimate Evil!

All right! As long as Neese is there to help me...

...l can face any test without failing!

You think l`d let my dear daughter go to a dangerous place like that?!

Forgive me. l don`t want you ending up like an ordinary knight...

...so l`m keeping you a knight in training forever!

Joke`s on you!

Aw, man!

l really have the worst luck in the world, don`t l?
