The planet that was created by the seven fonons, Auldrant:
Several countries were formed, and disappeared once again from history.
At present, the world is torn in two:
The Kingdom of Kimlasca
and the Malkuth Empire.
Peace is barely kept between the two.
Then, "the founder" Yulia Jue read from the Seventh Fonon,
Lorelei, the "Score" that predicted what was to become of the planet, from its birth to its death.
Those who protect it faithfully, the Order of Lorelei, have become a spiritual support to the people.
In this world supported by the Score, a single stone was thrown.
Its ripples are about to bring a significant change.
N.D. 2000.
In Kimlasca shall be born one who inherits the power of Lorelei.
He will be a boy of royal blood with hair of red.
He shall be called the Light of the Sacred Flame.
And he will lead Kimlasca-Lanvaldear to new prosperity.
N.D. 2002.
The One Who Would Seize Glory shall destroy the land upon which he was born.
A land by the name of Hod.
War shall thereafter persist between Kimlasca and Malkuth for a full cycle of seasons.
Master Luke, exiting that way again… It’s too dangerous.
Oh, hey there, Pere.
That was nothing to me!
Are you gardening today too?
You do that everyday! Isn‘t it boring?
Oh, not at all.
This is my job, after all.
Actually, there is no greater joy than listening to the praise my flowers get from the Duke and yourself.
I don't even think my father has time to look at those flowers.
He doesn’t even have time to meet with his own son either.
I'm tired of this garden and this mansion.
I just want to get out of here.
His Grace is just worried about you.
I'm not just some kid who gets easily kidnapped anymore!
I mean, even Master Van praised my swordsmanship.
Anyway, I’ll be at the backyard forest for a while.
Oh yeah, don't tell Guy. He‘ll just be annoying.
Yes sir...
Honestly…
It's suffocating in here.
Am I hearing things?
Master Luke!
Master Luuuke!!
Master Luke!
Again?
Guy.
Have you seen Master Luke?
I-Is there anything you have to tell him?
A guest arrived.
A guest?
She is talking about me.
Nothing ever happens here…
I knew I‘d find you here!
Luke, I've already told you that going out on your own without telling anyone causes trouble here.
How'd you find me?
How long have I been watching over you?
Being able to tell where one's master is…
It’s a must for the average servant.
I've never considered you as just a simple servant, Guy!
Luke...
Yeah, that's right.
Guy, did you find Luke?
Yes, Princess Natalia.
He's up there.
You idiot! Don't tell her!
Luke! What are you doing up there?
What I do is none of your business.
After all, I won't be able to leave this place.
That aside, what did you come here for?
Luke, is that the proper way to speak to your fiancée?
"Fiancée?" It's just something our parents decided on their own.
It is true that this engagement has been decided since our birth.
However, there is indeed a bond between us.
I was really happy when you gave that promise.
I’ve already told you! There's no way I'd remember proposing to you when I was just a kid!
Oh, that's right.
It has been seven years since you were kidnapped by the Malkuth Empire, and came back unharmed.
Apparently, Master Luke lost all his memories.
The poor thing...
Who cares about the past anymore?!
I am who I am!
Yeah, you're right.
Even if you don't have your memories, you grew up just fine.
No, maybe you should still grow up a little...
What did you say?!
You just had to hit where it hurts!
If you want to grow so badly, lose the picky food habits.
Don't get so cocky because of your height.
Just you wait and I'll be just as tall as you!
Is that so? Well, good luck!
What now, Natalia?
Seeing you like that, it is as if you are brothers.
Really?
Well, we're always together, after all.
I can often be disappointed in you.
What?
Nevertheless, just being with you like now is enough for my happiness.
But I would still love to hear that promise, just once.
You will remember it one day, won't you?
Remind me again why she came.
To see you, of course.
Let's head back too.
Everyone's probably making a big fuss over at the mansion.
How annoying...
Luke!
My head...!!
Luke...
Fragment of my soul...
Heed my voice...
Luke!
You finally awake?
I...
Those headaches again?
Yeah, it always comes without warning.
What the heck is this?
They've started ever since the Malkuth kidnapping, right?
Those Malkuth bastards! What the hell did they do to me?!
Here I go.
Come in.
Pardon me.
His Grace is calling for you.
Please come to the drawing room.
All right, dismissed.
Here I am, Father.
Yes. Take a seat, Luke.
Yes.
Master! Will you help me train today?
We will later.
But before that, we have something important to discuss.
Luke, listen well.
Dorian General Grants will be returning to Daath tomorrow.
Why all of a sudden?
You're aware that I am part of the Oracle Knights, a faction of the Order of Lorelei, aren't you?
You're the Commandant of the Oracle, right?
That's right.
My current mission is to take command of the Oracle Knights and protect Fon Master Ion.
Fon Master Ion? What's that?
He is the leader of the Order of Lorelei.
2,000 years ago, Yulia Jue, who held a great power, read the Planet's Memory through fonons.
The Score that narrates the planet's life from birth to death
is protected by the Order of Lorelei, and makes sure it is not misused.
So that Ion guy is very important?
Of course.
It is thanks to the Fon Master that peace was formed between the Malkuth Empire with whom we battled for centuries
and our own country of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear.
If the previous Fon Master, Evenos, was the one who ended the Hod War,
the present Fon Master, Ion, can be considered a symbol of peace.
And that Fon Master Ion is currently missing.
As part of the Oracle Knights, it is my duty to look for him.
No way!
If you go back home, who will supervise my lessons?
Dorian General Grants will eventually come back.
It would do you some good to learn a bit of patience.
Dear, you don't have to speak so harshly.
This child has already lived through a traumatic experience,
that made him lose his memories.
Susanne, you are spoiling him too much.
Although,
I wonder if keeping him locked in here is such a good thing.
That's right! Why does Uncle insist on keeping me locked in here?
My brother only wishes for your safety.
Once you come of age, you will be free to leave.
I know...
Luke, to make up for the time I'll be gone, let's train as much as you want today.
Do you really mean it, Master?
I'll pick up my sword right now!
All right!
I see.
The Oracle Knights have it pretty rough.
I don't know who is and who isn't involved in this case.
I have no choice but to leave things to you.
Master Luke! Please be careful, the soil right there is slippery.
Yeah!
What are you doing, Guy?
Van's a master of the sword, so I thought I'd ask for a little instruction.
But you can't.
Because he promised to train me as much as I want today.
Did he?
Well, at another time then.
Then, I'll be watching the sword training.
Master Van, let's begin, please!
Yes. Come and don't hold back.
tue lei zwe kuloa riou tue zwe
You've improved, Luke.
Really?
tue lei zwe kuloa riou tue zwe
What?
This voice is...!
W-What is this?
My body won't move...!
tue lei zwe kuloa riou tue zwe
T-This is...
...a Fonic Hymn...!
Damn. I suddenly feel so tired.
I've found you at last!
Vandesdelca, you traitor!
Prepare to die!!
Who's that girl?
So it's you, Mystearica.
Why are you doing such a thing?
You should know that better than anyone.
I won't forgive you.
Die!!
Who the hell are you?!
What do you want with Master Van?!
No! Stop!!
You who share the same existance as I,
receive the will of Lorelei...
Open the way...
This is the Seventh Fonon...!
Luke!
What the hell...
This is bad. The Seventh Fonons reacted with each other.
That is...
Awaken...
Fragment of my soul...
Wake up!
Hey, wake up!
Good, you look unhurt.
What? What happened?
We were blown away.
Blown away? You mean...
That's right, you!
It seems that a hyperresonance occured between us.
To think you were a Seventh Fonist as well...
Seventh... Foneest...?
Anyway, let's move.
The forest is dangerous at night.
I hope there's a town nearby.
Where are-
What is this?
Ah, we can see the sea.
So this is... the sea?
First, let's get out of this valley and try to reach the shore.
Are you listening?
Oh yeah! Why did you come and attack Master Van?
I'm sorry for bringing you into this mess.
I will take responsibility and bring you back to Baticul.
Why do I have to go with a stranger like you?
My name is Tear.
There's no way you could go back home on your own.
Monsters!
These are monsters? Why are they here?
tue lei zwe kuloa riou tue zwe
This was your first real fight, wasn't it?
Is that bad?
No, you were helpful. Thank you.
I just want to go back to the manor as quickly as possible.
Come on, let's go.
I don't want to stay any longer in this dangerous place.
We finally made it.
Wait, someone's here.
Who are you guys?!
Don't tell me... the Dark Wings?
The Dark Wings?
A group of thieves who are running wild in this area.
Am I wrong?
Yes. We only lost our way.
O-Oh, did you?
If you're lost, would you like to ride my carriage? I'm a coachman.
The horses and the customers are taking a break over there.
A coach? We're saved!
Will you go to the capital?
Yes, it's our final destination.
Ah, but it costs 20,000 Gald for one person. Got it?
It's expensive.
Really? It's cheap.
When we reach the city, my father will pay you.
That won't do.
You have to pay before the trip.
Take this.
Ohh, that's quite a beautiful gem.
All right, come with me.
You've got some nice stuff with you.
Now I won't have to dirty my shoes anymore.
So you finally woke up.
I was worried about what would happen to us for a moment, but with this I'll be able to go back home.
Yes.
That's...!
