Idunn	In my world, I was kept in a place of endless darkness. A void of shadow. In the darkness, I dreamt an empty dream...for a long time. I, too, am empty now, so I am not troubled by appetites and desires. My reason to be is the destruction of humanity—to free my world... But...this is not my world. I wonder... Does this world require the same freedom? It's...confusing. All that is certain is that I...must not stay here, at this castle. Confusion and power do not... combine well.
Lugh	Huh. Yeah, I understand why you'd want to leave the castle now. But...do you have anywhere to go? You were just summoned, so it's all new territory here, right?
Idunn	Yes... I have no place to go. And I know nothing of this world. But as a Demon Dragon, I do know I cannot stay here...
Lugh	Hmm... Seems like you're dead set on leaving then. If that's the case, I'll tag along! If we can sort out your reason for being here now, you'll come back to the castle again, won't you?
Idunn	...
Lugh	H-hey! Wait up! ...How are you so fast!
{{#widget:Style|style= @keyframes fo255 { from { opacity:0 } to { opacity:1 } } }}
Alfonse	Any sign over there, Sharena?
Sharena	Nothing yet! Where could Idunn have gone? And why? Was something troubling her?
Thea	Hey, what are you two up to?
Sharena	Oh, hi, Thea! Actually, we were looking for Idunn... Have you seen her?
Thea	Idunn? The...Dark Priestess? She left the castle, did she?
Sue	Apologies. I overheard you asking about Idunn... I saw her speaking with Lugh at the castle gate this morning. I was in the western spire at the time, however, so I was unable to hear what they were talking about...
Sharena	Wait—you were able to see them all the way from there?! They must have looked like specks of dust!
Alfonse	Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Lugh around either... Perhaps the two of them left together.
Sharena	Yeah! They could have just gone to town to do a little shopping together!
Alfonse	I—uhh... That seems unlikely.
Thea	Whatever the case...we cannot just stand by, can we? Lugh would have told someone where he was going...
Sue	Right. We should search for them. Please, allow me to assist.
Alfonse	Thanks. Your help means a lot. Both of you.
Thea	Are you comfortable riding a pegasus, Princess Sharena? We could look for them from the sky.
Sharena	Nice plan, Thea. I'll be the navigator! Don't worry—I give perfect directions.
Alfonse	Great. Then Sue and I will try to follow their trail on the ground.
Sue	The sooner we leave, the sooner we can find them. Let's go.

イドゥン	私の世界にあるのは… 終わることのない、永遠の闇。 夜よりも濃い、尽きることのない漆黒。 果てなく深い闇の中で 私はずっと白く、虚ろな夢を 見続けていました。 私の中には何もありません。 想いも、希望も、明日も、昨日も。 私の中で渦巻いているのは 人の世を滅ぼす破壊の力。 世界を解放するための力… しかし…今の私にはわからないのです。 この世界は解放を…求めているのか。 ただひとつ、確かなことは 私が…この城にいては いけないということ。 私の迷いが破壊の力と交わったとき それはきっと…皆が望まぬ未来へと 繋がってしまうでしょう。
ルゥ	だから 城を出ていこうって言うんだね。 でも、一人で行くあてはあるの？ この世界に呼ばれたばかりで 右も左もわからないんでしょ？
イドゥン	行くあてなど…ありません。 私にわかるのは、魔竜の私が ここにいてはいけないということだけ…
ルゥ	うーん。だったらぼくも行くよ。 行かないでって引き止めても 納得してくれそうにないし… どこかでぼくたちみんなが 一緒にいる理由が見つけられれば 城に戻ってくれるんだよね？
イドゥン	…………
ルゥ	あっ！　ちょっと待ってったら。 歩くの速いよー！

シャロン	いませんでした…！ イドゥンさん、いったい どこに行ってしまったんでしょう？ 何か悩みを 抱えていたのでしょうか…
ティト	お二人とも、どうされたのですか？
シャロン	あっ、ティトさん！　実はですね、 イドゥンさんの姿が見えなくて…
ティト	暗闇の巫女…イドゥンが？ 城からいなくなったのですか？
スー	アルフォンス、シャロン… 彼女なら、今朝、城門で ルゥと話しているのを見たわ。 西の尖塔の上にいたから 会話までは聞こえなかったけど。
シャロン	そんな遠くから城門にいる ふたりが見えたんですか！？ 豆粒ほどの大きさなのに！
アルフォンス	そういえばルゥも見当たらない。 もしかすると、ふたり一緒に 城の外に出ていった可能性も…
シャロン	なるほど！　ふたりで仲良く 街に買い物に行ったとか？
アルフォンス	ふたりの関係性を踏まえても その可能性は限りなく低いかな…
ティト	いずれにせよ… 放っておくわけにはいきません。
スー	探しに行ったほうがいい。 私も協力するわ。
アルフォンス	二人とも… ありがとう、助かるよ…
ティト	シャロン王女は天馬に乗ってもらえますか？ 空からふたりを探しましょう。
シャロン	ティトさん、わかりました！ 道案内はバッチリしますよ。
アルフォンス	じゃあ、僕とスーは 地上から彼女たちを追いかけよう。
スー	ええ。ふたり共… すぐに見つかるといいのだけど…

Sharena	Good morning, Idunn! The weather sure is great again today, don't you think?
Idunn	...
Sharena	I, uh... Is there...anything I can do for you? Any help you need or anything?
Idunn	No... I need nothing.
Sharena	I-I see. Well...if you think of anything, don't hesitate to let me know, OK?
Idunn	...
{{#widget:Style|style= @keyframes fo255 { from { opacity:0 } to { opacity:1 } } }}
Alfonse	I see... And she said that word for word?
Sharena	Yes... I was just trying to get closer to Idunn, but...
Alfonse	You know, I heard that she was once a kind of holy being known as a divine dragon. But during a war between humankind and dragons, she was remade into a demon dragon and...she lost herself.
Sharena	Hmm... So Idunn knows what it's like to be a victim of war.
Alfonse	Yes. So even if she doesn't always fit in easily, we should remember, she still belongs.
Sharena	You're right. I'll have Idunn's back whenever I can help her out!

Sue	...
Alfonse	Hello, Sue! Are you...looking for someone?
Sue	I'm looking for my grandpa... His name is Dayan.
Alfonse	Dayan, hm? I don't believe any Hero by that name is in the castle at the moment...
Sue	Dayan is a hero and the pride of the Kutolah tribe. And he is my grandp— my grandfather.
Alfonse	I see. You're looking for someone among the Heroes who you already know. Someone who's a hero to you.
Sue	Grandpa's bravery and integrity are the pride of my tribe. He stands out as a hero even among those here... So, if this castle is where Heroes from different worlds gather, I would expect to find him here. But...I cannot. And I'm left to wonder why that would be so...
Alfonse	I can't say I know either, but...I have some idea who might! You should ask 【Summoner】!
Sue	...Ask 【Summoner】, hm? Thank you, Alfonse. I will see what 【Summoner】 has to say.

Anna	Where are you headed in such a rush, Lugh?
Lugh	Oh! Hello, Commander Anna! I'm just going around to talk to all the Heroes! This castle is great! There are Heroes with legendary tomes—even Heroes who know magic I've never heard of! There's something new to learn and someone new to talk to every day around here!
Anna	I see! Well, I'm glad you're finding your days here fulfilling.
Lugh	Yeah, and it's not ONLY magic! Some mages here take to the battlefield on horseback—or on pegasusback! Hmm... I wonder if I'd be better at fighting if I rode a horse...or a pegasus for that matter.
Anna	It's possible... You'd be able to cover more ground if you were riding one, so it's feasible you could do more.
Lugh	Really? Yeah, I guess it would let me get around WAY faster... I'm going to go practice right now!
Anna	W-wait! Lugh! Don't rush into it! That kid sure is in high spirits. I hope he doesn't get hurt somehow...

Thea	Excuse me, Commander Anna... Do you have a moment?
Anna	Hm? Do you need something? Weapons? Armor? I can get you either-and for a reasonable price!
Thea	No, no! My equipment is sorted for the time being, actually... I was hoping to ask you a favor. I'd like to sign on as a mercenary for the Order of Heroes.
Anna	Huh? Well... How would it be different from just being another one of the Heroes in the castle? We all fight, after all. So I guess I don't understand... Why set yourself apart as a hired soldier?
Thea	Well, if that's how it is, I'll be fine without. It's just...what I'm used to.
Anna	Oh, you don't want to be treated any...differently, then?
Anna	If you don't mind me prying, what made you want to sign a mercenary contract with us?
Thea	Up until now...I fought as a mercenary with the pegasus knights of Ilia. Like I said, it's what I'm used to. So I thought, since I'm fighting here in Askr, I should sign on as a mercenary here as well. Of course, I expected no outrageous payment or anything. Just whatever rate my unique set of skills fetches on the open market in this world...
Anna	... I understand, Thea. There are many reasons we do what we do... Glory... Peace... Love... And of course...Memory. I of all people understand that. I'll see what I can do about having a contract drawn up for you.
Thea	Thank you for indulging me. You can trust that, as a mercenary under contract, I will earn my pay.

Lugh	Look! Over there! Oh, and that way too! I've never seen flowers so beautiful... And they're everywhere!
Idunn	...
Lugh	There's no arguing whether Askr is a good country. Those folks we met even offered us food. Us! Strangers!
Idunn	Hmm... A good country? Good for... humans, you mean?
Lugh	Well, yeah! That's the reason we were summoned here! To fight to bring peace to a good place.
Idunn	Fight...for peace... Why is peace desirable? Lord Zephiel ordered me to erase humanity and set the world on the proper path... That is not peace, so is that something...I should not do? My purpose, the reason this power of mine exists, is to end humanity...
Lugh	N-no! Think about it! We need peace to live happily! It's hard to be happy if you're fighting all the time, right?
Idunn	I am the Demon Dragon. The peace you hold dear is nothing to me.
Lugh	Well that won't do... There has to be SOMETHING in this world that'll get you to want to fight for peace, Idunn!
{{#widget:Style|style= @keyframes fo255 { from { opacity:0 } to { opacity:1 } } }}
Sharena	We've looked everywhere! Where are those two? I thought they'd visit town after leaving the castle for sure, but...
Thea	Given the twig-like nature of Lugh's legs, it's likely they didn't get far before needing to stop to rest... They must've gone another direction. ... I never imagined...even after setting eyes on her in this world...that I would be helping save her. Here she is not part of Bern's army, no. Yet I cannot forget that she is the Dark Priestess...and a threat to all life.

Alfonse	Have you had a chance to discuss Dayan with 【Summoner】?
Sue	Yes, just a moment ago, actually... I came right out and asked why I can't find Grandpa in the castle. It seems summoning a Hero is not an exact matter. As far as who appears, 【Summoner】 can't choose. I didn't understand the entire explanation, to be honest... But the connections that call Heroes to this world from their own are rare and precious. But if a Hero has that connection, they will come into this world—but we can't predict when. At least, that's what I remember from what 【Summoner】 said...
Alfonse	Hmm... Actually, this is starting to sound familiar...
Sue	The connection to my grandpa must not yet exist. That would explain why he isn't here. I guess that's all there is to it...

Lugh	I have to ask, Sue... How are you so good at riding horses?
Sue	How? Hm... I'm not sure. I've been riding so long, I don't really think about it anymore...
Lugh	Isn't there some kind of secret you can teach me?
Sue	To ride a horse...it's important to understand the horse. Treat the horse's feelings as your own...
Lugh	All right! I just need to become one with the mind of a horse. Easy!
{{#widget:Style|style= @keyframes fo255 { from { opacity:0 } to { opacity:1 } } }}
Lugh	Wh-whoa! Whuh— Waah! Keeping my balance on this horse is way harder than I expected it to be!
Sue	Be calm. Hold the reins gently. Try not to confuse or startle the horse.
Lugh	Don't confuse... Don't startle... OK... H-how's this? Feels like I'm doing it! OK! Now...time to try casting some spells and— Wh-whoa!
Sue	Lugh! Keep both hands on the reins!
Lugh	Wh-whaaa! OK, settle down! Easy... There's nothing to be afraid of. It's all right...
Sue	The horse seems to have calmed down... Good.
Lugh	As soon as I took a hand off the reins, I thought I was going to be thrown off for sure!
Sue	It doesn't seem to be something that comes naturally to you, unfortunately. Where is...your tome, by the way?
Lugh	Oh no! I must have dropped it when I had to grab the reins with both hands again! Wh-where was that?
Sue	It must have fallen somewhere in this direction. Come on—I'll help you find it in no time.
Lugh	Sorry to be so much trouble... Riding a horse is a lot harder than I thought it'd be, though. Maybe I'm not cut out for it...

Anna	I've just finished putting the finishing touches on your contract, Thea.
Thea	Oh! Thank you, Commander Anna. I appreciate you going to the trouble.
Anna	After some thought, I decided that, since the one who summoned you here was【Summoner】... Askr shouldn't be your employer— it should be 【Summoner】! But don't worry... The Order of Heroes will take care of your payment. So anyway, here's the contract. You can take a moment to look it over...
Thea	... ... ... Everything seems to be in order. I'll just mark it with my seal...here. Now, with the contract in place, please let the Order of Heroes know my strength is at their command.
Anna	Of course! And I'll look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

Lugh	Phew! We've been going for a while now... Maybe we should stop and rest our legs a bit! Hey, uh... You think we should've said something to someone before we left the castle? And...shouldn't we start heading back soon? People might be starting to worry, you know?
Idunn	You may go back. You need not stay with me.
Lugh	Yes, I do! I do need! I mean, we're friends, aren't we? I mean, we aren't enemies, at least... Right? It's just— I don't know. I don't think of YOU as a stranger, I guess.
Idunn	...
Lugh	Have I told you I have a twin brother? His name's Raigh. He's smarter and stronger than me, but...he gets into trouble if he's left alone. It makes me worry about him. You remind me of Raigh, Idunn...
Idunn	...
Lugh	Look! I can see village lights on that hillside! Let's go see if we can stay the night. Er... I'll go ask, and you can just wait here for a moment. Be right back!

Alfonse	I think it's time to return to the castle, Sue. It's been three days since they left...We need a bigger search party.
Sue	But if what those people along the road said is true, they shouldn't be much farther ahead now.
Alfonse	What do— Why would Idunn decide to suddenly leave the castle? Do you think she could be questioning whether she wants to fight alongside us? I should have realized sooner...
Sue	Life is a gift that grows and links with other life. Idunn came as an answer to 【Summoner】's call. Her arrival was no coincidence. Idunn is here for a reason.
Alfonse	Agreed. Perhaps Lugh thought the same, and that's why he went with her. Hmm... I've got a new plan. Will you stick with me a while longer, Sue?
Sue	Let's go, then.

Alfonse	So, I've been seeing Idunn out a lot more... Did I see her...raising flowers?
Sharena	Yeah! She didn't seem interested at first, but now it seems like she's diligently tending her little garden!
Alfonse	Compared to when I first met her, Idunn seems to have really softened.
Sharena	It's true! And because of the whole thing with the flowers, I've been able to get to know her better too!
Alfonse	Oh? My first impression was that you were just hovering over her as she focused on her flowers... But you introduced her to the garden, and that's what's awoken this in her. And that's a good thing.

Alfonse	Sue, is...is something worrying you? You look lost in thought.
Sue	... Grandpa is greater—stronger and braver—than any person I'd ever met before coming here. Here, though, for the first time, I'm surrounded by Heroes who rival Grandpa in greatness. It makes no sense that I should be here instead of him.
Alfonse	We needed YOU, Sue. That's all there is to it.
Sue	I understand that, but...I still have so much to learn. I'm a far cry from the greatness of my grandfather. I'm here because I was called by my connection, but...does that mean it's right when others could do more?
Alfonse	I know it's difficult to see, but try considering the longer view... Todays grow into tomorrows. And a tomorrow may come when you grow to be greater than even Dayan. That's what I believe—and I'm sure 【Summoner】 does too.
Sue	O-oh.
Alfonse	You should believe it too.
Sue	Alfonse... Thank you. I think I understand now... I'll think on what you said. And I'll remember I was brought here for a reason.

Alfonse	Hello there, Thea! I saw you fighting extremely hard in yesterday's battle... I must say—I was impressed!
Thea	I fight best when I'm being paid. Most of the Heroes here are fighting for peace, the thought of payment not even crossing their minds... I know better. Fighting has a cost-so if you're fighting for free, that cost is entirely on your shoulders.
Alfonse	Yes, the cost of war is high...
Thea	I come from the frozen country of Ilia. I have seen people taken by cold and people taken by empty stomachs. Money can save lives, including those of the ones you care about. Why put myself at risk for less? Honor? Honor won't fill your belly or keep you warm during long winter nights. I'm sorry... I didn't mean to say all of that. It just...came out.
Alfonse	No, don't worry. I appreciate you telling me all of that. I think I better understand your perspective now.
Thea	Well, if you'll excuse me, I must start preparing for the next battle now.
Alfonse	... "Honor won't fill your belly..." I wasn't expecting such heavy conversation to come out of a simple compliment...

Lugh	Thank you so much! Take care! Idunn, wave your hand at the nice people... Like me.
Idunn	Like...this?
Lugh	Wow! Those kids really loved you, huh! What's it like to be so popular? ...I, uh, don't know if you heard... They said those kids lost their families to war. They're all alone.
Idunn	...
Lugh	But they're all still doing their best to live on and keep smiling. I'm glad they all found each other. Raigh and I grew up in a situation not so different from theirs, so I know how important it can be to smile.
Idunn	...
Lugh	By the way, when we were leaving, it looked like they gave you something... Was it...a present?
Idunn	Yes... They called it...a picture? Is it the children, you, and...me.
Lugh	Wow, what a great present, Idunn! And look—they drew both of us with HUGE smiles, Idunn! Seems like they put a lot of thought and care into it... This must be how you look to the children, Idunn!
Idunn	Can I smile like that? I wonder...
Lugh	Of course you can!
Idunn	I know nothing of peace or why this world should continue when others must not... I do know, however, that I do not wish for the children to lose their smiles and laughter.
Lugh	You have the power to protect their smiles, Idunn.

Sue	You are both safe. That is what matters most.
Thea	Idunn... I don't know anything about you other than, in our world, we were enemies... And we never spoke.
Idunn	...
Thea	I want to speak with you now. I want to set aside the past and for you to fight alongside us as our ally.
Alfonse	That's right, Idunn! And if anything is troubling you, don't hesitate to come to us to talk about it, all right?
Sue	Yes. The reason we worried when we thought you lost is that, to us, you are a friend. You are one of us.
Idunn	Thank...you...very much.
Alfonse	All right, I think it's about time we start heading back to the castle now.
Idunn	I feel...something...warm. Something from the past... A memory of a dream. A feeling I once knew... I thought— I am empty inside, yet... there the feeling is...
Lugh	It's all right, Idunn... Even if you were empty inside, that would just be more room to make something new!
Idunn	Perhaps... But it is not that time... I may have found my reason to fight for this world—and something I must protect.

Alfonse	You look to be in great spirits, Sue! And you're on a real tear hitting the bull's-eyes too...
Sue	Yes, my heart is calm...and the voice of the wind is clear in my ears. Alfonse, it's clear you expect much of me—as does 【Summoner】. I will do my best to rise and meet those expectations.
Alfonse	Good. And remember...you are not supposed to fill Dayan's shoes. Seek and focus on your own personal talents.
Sue	Right. I will listen for the guidance of Mother Earth and Father Sky. They'll lead me down the right path.
Alfonse	And don't give up hope that you'll see Dayan here someday. There are a lot of tomorrows yet to come.
Sue	When that tomorrow comes, I want to be ready... I want to show off exactly what I'm made of! For now, I must focus on my training and developing the courage I need to protect all those dear to me.

Anna	Hey, Lugh! How did your mounted practice go?
Lugh	Well, Commander... It doesn't seem I'm cut out for either one. And the worst part is, I wasted other people's time just to find out I'm no good at something.
Anna	Hm. I see... Well, even if you can't ride a horse or a pegasus, that's nothing to get down about. There are plenty of Heroes here who fight extremely well without either a horse or a pegasus!
Lugh	Yeah... I guess...
Anna	I understand how you feel, Lugh, but at least you had the experience! Finding out what you can do, little by little, is something I think all Heroes experience as they grow stronger.
Lugh	Hmm... You're right. There's no reason to overextend myself. It'd be better to focus on honing the skills I already have! Thanks, Commander Anna. You really helped open my eyes! I'll just concentrate on becoming a full-fledged mage for now!
Anna	Just keep at it, Lugh, and I expect I'll be seeing good things from you!

Alfonse	I've been thinking about your reason for choosing a mercenary life, Thea. So you can give to those who need it.
Thea	Well...the payment I earn in this world cannot be used in Ilia, I'm afraid, so... I'll be using my earnings to continue living as a pegasus knight of Ilia.
Alfonse	Oh, I see! That must be pretty important to you.
Thea	We knights of Ilia take an oath that says a contract made as a mercenary cannot be betrayed. Even if we have to fight family...we follow our employer's orders to ensure the future of our homeland. My strength is yours. I will carry out any mission, no matter what, for Ilia. That is my oath.
Alfonse	The words of one who truly cares for their country... I care for my country as well... I would give everything... Thea, will you lend us your strength and help protect the people of this country as if they were your own?
Thea	Of course. That's included as part of the contract—and I never break a contract once it's been made. I swear, on my pride as an Ilian, this lance will protect Askr and its people.
