Adol, can you kill me?
Do you think you can save me from the evil that owns me?
Fact!
Once upon a time, there was a paradise on Earth.
It was governed by two beautiful Goddesses and six loyal priests.
The land was called Ys.
The Black Pearl created by the Goddesses spawned the precious metal, Cleria...
...which brought prosperity to people.
However, the Black Pearl also gave birth to the powers of evil.
The evil monsters overran the Earth and brought chaos.
The priests hid the Cleria deep within the Earth...
...launching Ys and the Black Pearl up into the heavens.
They prayed for the day that evil would no longer exist...
...and Ys could return to Earth.
700 years later...
...the evil monsters returned to Earth...
...and began to wreak havoc once again.
Then came a mysterious young redheaded adventurer.
Guided by the Goddesses, he fought the monsters...
...and saved the world from despair.
His name is Adol Christin, the brave soul.
Adol's battle was supposed to come to an end...
...once he slew Dark Fact, the servant of evil.
However, the ancient scriptures of Ys were...
...about to reveal another chapter of destiny.
Good.
Go Adol.
Your true destiny is about to begin.
Brave soul, Adol...
...we entrust the future of the people and our wishes to you.
Come with us, to Ys in the heavens.
Adol, please...
Please, free Ys!
Feena...
Feena!
The Dahm Tower has fallen.
What shall I do?
This is interesting.
Let's see how much Adol can handle, shall we?
Yes, sir.
Don't run!
Everyone, back to your positions!
We must save the sacrifices!
Sada is right, don't give up now!
We can't do it!
There's no way we can beat those monsters!
You idiot!
Everyone is terrified, we should retreat.
Damn it...
Evil will win after all?
We're surrounded!
Don't give up, we'll fight our way out!
What is that?
Now run!
Are you okay?
Run...
There are monsters around here.
I know.
Can you get up?
Who are you?
I'm Lilia.
Where am I?
On the outskirts of Lance.
Lance?
This isn't Esteria?
This is Ys.
Ys?
Are you okay?
All right, it looks like the swelling is gone.
Youth is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
I envy you!
Adol.
I brought my husband's old clothes, they don't fit him anymore, so...
Thank you for everything.
One night under my care and he's all better!
That's because I am the...
Yes, Fleah...
...you're the best doctor in Ys.
I saw villagers being attacked by the monsters.
Why are there monsters in Ys?
Why are there monsters here?
There are no monsters in Ys.
Ys is a peaceful place...
...albeit...
...it's not a true peace.
By the way, where are you from?
Have you come to peddle books?
What are these strange letters?
Uh, it's...
I've seen this somewhere before.
The abandoned mines of Rastin!
One time I was out collecting herbs and there was a stone wall.
It had these letters carved into it.
The abandoned mine of Rastin?
It is said that deep within it, there is a shrine called the Holy Shrine of Toal...
...honoring six priests...
That's just a rumor.
But Doctor, it must be true if the legend lives on.
You are the only person who believes it.
D-Doctor!
Lilia.
Ys writing at the Holy Shrine of Toal?
There's no way the Elders will agree!
There used to be only one sacrifice a year, but...
Then what are we supposed to do, we can't keep fighting the monsters!
That's why we need to talk to the elders.
We need to ask the monsters to reconsider all these sacrifices.
Hey, someone's coming.
They're awfully thin this year.
They are still young, Doctor.
Oh, I see.
It looks like the wounded man at Banner's is all better now.
That's good.
That young man is a swordsman.
And a good one too!
Oh?
When you have as much experience as I do, you can tell these things.
That outsider named Adol?
Yeah.
He can be of use to us, if he can fight.
Should we ask him to join us?
No way!
We can't trust an outsider!
Scared?
No!
What do you think?
Should we ask him?
No, not yet.
That's a beautiful song.
Someone taught it to me a long time ago.
Someone special?
Sort of.
Lance is a beautiful place.
But it has been stained with blood.
Ys isn't a peaceful place!
We have to do horrible things just to stay alive.
Will you tell me about the Holy Shrine of Toal?
Yes, but why?
I think I can find out...
...the real reason why I've come to Ys.
This is out of control!
One sacrifice a year is enough!
We have to do whatever the monsters say.
That is the way of things.
But there will be no one left!
That's not true.
The monsters create the Heavens and the Earth.
Nonsense!
If we ask for rain, they give us rain.
If we need sunshine, they give it to us.
There is no way they will destroy us.
They need our sacrifices to keep the world peaceful and quiet.
Then ask them why they need so many sacrifices!
I cannot!
It's a notice to provide another sacrifice.
We just made one three days ago!
Not again...
Thank you for everything.
Please be careful.
I've heard that the abandoned mine at Rastin is very dangerous.
I know.
Wait, take me with you!
Lilia!
I'm the only one who really knows about the Holy Shrine of Toal.
And for some reason...
...I understand why you are here...
...and that something is about to happen to Ys.
Lilia!
Please don't pay any attention to her.
She's always had a wild imagination.
Mom!
Wait for me.
I will find the Holy Shrine of Toal.
This is it.
Lilia!
Lilia, where are you?
Oh no, has she gone to...
This is it.
"Only the chosen one will be invited in..."
Who's there?
Shrine?
Is this the Holy Shrine of Toal?
Dark Fact!
Who will be next?
We just made a sacrifice the other day.
Please, let me through.
Wait.
Lilia, where are you going?
The Rastin mines.
No, you can't go there!
I'll be fine, please let me through!
I bring a message from the elders of Lance.
A new sacrifice will be chosen.
Blessed be the chosen!
No!
The name of the chosen one is Lilia!
Wait!
She was chosen first, Lilia was just trying to protect her.
What are you saying? Your child was chosen!
It's okay, Mom...
I...
Lilia...
No, don't go, Lilia!
Lilia!
Stop!
Stop it, fool!
Why do you have to take so many sacrifices?
Does everyone really think it's right?
He's right!
Do you wish to lead us to destruction?
But sir!
Please, stop.
Lilia!
We must obey for now.
Lilia.
700 years ago, the priests made a dire mistake.
They may have sent Ys to the Heavens...
...but so long as the Black Pearl exists, so will the evil monsters.
The powers of Evil will grow and will drive Earth to despair.
Chosen brave soul...
I will give you the powers...
...the power of the priests, the power to defeat evil...
Magical power!
Fact?
But be forewarned!
The powers given to you can also make people evil...
When your powers and the wishes of the Goddesses become one...
...true peace will prevail.
Goddesses?
Are you talking about the Goddesses of Ys?
Lilia!
Fact, what am I supposed to do?
I have been released from the curse of my physical form...
...and have given myself over to the tides of destiny.
But Adol...
...you will unfold your own destiny.
Fight, brave soldier!
The sacred power is within you!
What was that?
A hallucination?
But then why this cloak...
Lilia!
Stop!
Stop it!
Don't make the monsters angry!
Do you want to world to come to an end?
I've had enough!
I can't just sit back and watch!
I'll rise up against the monsters.
That's right!
Do as you please.
But the next time we need sacrifices to appease the monsters...
...it will be your families!
Please!
Give me my Lilia back!
Why do we have to obey the monsters?
Why won't you fight?
Adol!
Adol.
Adol?
For how many centuries have you been offering sacrifices to the monsters?
That is none of your business!
How could you...
This is ridiculous!
Fleah, where have they taken Lilia?
To the ruins on that mountain.
Where are you going?
To save Lilia!
Stop him!
Someone stop him!
Why are you stopping me?
Wait, young one!
Adol, right?
Take this!
If you believe that humans can defy the evil beasts, then prove it to us!
Fine.
Wait here!
Move!
Adol!
This is horrible!
Something horrible will happen...
If the evil ones get a hold of the ultimate power, there's no way he can do this alone.
But if he makes it back here with Lilia...
Yeah...
Pitiful human being.
Into the clutches of death you go.
Your final screams of terror will fuel us.
Resent those who betrayed you.
Haunt them for your suffering.
Fill yourself with evil thoughts!
We collect the terror and hatred of those we lead to death.
I don't hate anyone!
I will give my life glady!
So please don't take any more sacrifices!
Your wish cannot be granted.
We shall take sacrifices as we need them.
Why will you not accept our sacrifice?
Does this mean you are...
Adol!
Lilia!
Foolish...
How dare a human defy us!
Humans don't have to obey you!
Lilia, hold on!
What have you done to Lilia?
I had no idea there were such strong humans!
Lilia, run!
No, they will just choose another sacrifice.
I won't let that happen!
Adol, behind you!
We may have taken you too lightly.
But you will not make it out of here alive.
Damn!
My sword is useless!
Lilia!
Jump!
Let go of the pedestal!
Are you okay?
I'm fine!
Get back!
Stop!
Please stop!
I am the sacrifice, so take me!
Why do you protect the human?
I see, you don't know anything...
No, run!
Lilia!
Don't forget, Adol.
The power of the Priests is within you!
Fact!
Six Priests, give me power!
A human with magical powers?
Impossible!
Lilia, get down!
Why do you protect the humans?
Your place is with us...
This is the power of magic.
Magic...
What a terrifying power.
It was given to me at the Shrine of Toal.
It can defeat any evil monster.
Any evil beast...
Belagandar has been killed.
I believe it was Adol.
Not bad.
But he is not our concern at the moment.
The Goddesses?
That's right.
We know they have come here.
Whatever it takes, find them.
In this land of Ys, where we have absolute power...
...they cannot use their powers freely.
And if they do, we should be able to find them.
What should we do about Adol?
Leave him alone.
He doesn't realize where he is.
But he'll find out soon.
Lilia!
Mom!
You've killed Lord Belagandar?
We're through, the world is going to end!
Let's fight, we can do it!
No one wants to sacrifice their loved ones!
Let's fight and take our world back!
What are you saying, this world is going to come to an end!
That may be true if the evil reign is overthrown.
But if that happens, you can go down to the Earth's surface.
What are you talking about?
The entire world is coming to an end!
You don't know?
The Earth exists below this island.
Ys is a small island that floats far above it.
Stop lying!
Wait, everyone.
Let's listen to what Adol has to say.
Let me ask you, what do you think is beyond this place?
On the end of one side of this world is the Shrine of Solomon.
On the other side...
...is the Noltia Glacier.
And beyond that?
Darkness spreads beyond that.
No, that's not true, there's a world beyond that.
I came from there...
...where people have defeated evil and live in peace.
He speaks the words of Evil!
Take him!
He is the devil that will bring the world to an end!
Capture him!
Stop!
What are you doing?
Stop!
Everyone, stop!
The devil has shown his face!
Adol!
Lilia!
Don't kill him.
We'll hand him over to the evil monsters.
Why won't you believe me?
Please, you have to believe me!
Adol!
Guided by the Books of Ys...
...Adol Christin made his way to the land that floats in the Heavens...
But what awaited him there was despair and helplessness.
He knew nothing of what the Evil Beasts had in store...
...nor the two Goddesses...
...nor his own destiny.
When I take the truth
When I take the dream
Sora o someru asayake
The dawn, painting the sky.
Make me try again
Make me fly again
Tooi toki no tabibito
A traveler from a distant age.
Kaze no naka ni ukabiagaru megami yo
You goddesses, who float on the winds!
Maboroshi de mo sore wa eien no yasuragi darou
You may be an illusion, but this peace is eternal.
Hito wa itsumo yume no tame ni ikiteru
People are always living for their dreams.
Kizudarake no ude no naka ni ima ai o kanjiru
Now, in your wounded arms, I feel love.
