So is everybody this lonely when they're in love?
They embrace a pain that's deeper than the shadows?
It's all to make us shine, I just know it...
I love you, I love you,
I gaze at you with my heart...
I believe in you, I believe in you,
even on the coldest of nights.
I call out to you with my tears,
but I don't need any promises...
That's the precious strength you've given to me...
HITOMI WHERE ARE YOU? FROM AMANO
Amano... Captain Amano...
Van...
Angel's wings...?
No! Don't look! Don't look at him!
Merle?
This feather...
Don't cry, Mother.
There's something really sad about this feather...
Careful! We'll hit the ground!
I'm trying!
Commander, this route's gonna be pretty tight soon.
Maybe we should gain some altitude and look for another way.
No. Stay on this course.
But...
I know it's dangerous.
But this is the only way to make it into Freid...
...without being spotted by Zaibach.
You're the only ones who could pull off a stunt like that, right?
Oh, man...
Stay sharp, dirtbags!
We're gonna scare Zaibach shitless by making it through this valley!
Yessir!
Van, you're coming too, aren't you? We'll meet again in Freid.
Sister...
Millerna!
You can't stop me. I've made up my mind.
You're abandoning your country? You're helpless on your own.
Stop treating me like a child! I'm an adult now.
You and Father are always like this!
You make my decisions for me without asking my opinion first.
It's for your own good.
Including making me give up my medical studies?
What use does a princess have for such things?
I wanted to help people!
Royalty should use their position for the sake of their people.
Such egotism is an insult to your people.
But I love Allen!
I'm going. Goodbye, sister.
Goodbye, Sister.
The Draconians... The winged people...
The descendants of Atlantis...
The accursed clan.
All who come near them die. What? ''Draconians''?
Stay away from the Draconians.
The end of the world...
The destroyers of Atlantis...
Van...
Fanelia?
Lord Van! Don't do it, Lord Van!
Prince Van!
It's Prince Van!
What're you saying? You're the one who wanted to see me do it, Merle!
But it's dangerous!
Don't worry! Just watch!
Lord Van!
Wine tastes better after a victory!
This dawn will see the final battle!
And we'll be the first to attack the enemy's castle!
They're from Fanelia...
Escaflowne?
Balgus?
Milord?
When this war ends, will you leave us?
Yes. I'd like to hone my spirit once more.
I see. I'll miss you.
I'll never forget your kindness, Lord.
It's all right, Balgus. I want you to master the ways of the warrior.
And someday, come back to me. Back to Fanelia.
Lord...
Look at that...
A Draconian! A descendant of Atlantis!
The demons of legend...!
You're in danger, Milord! Get back!
Don't, Balgus.
That's a demon? She's beautiful...
I'd gladly let a such a demon steal my soul.
Lord...!
Goau of Fanelia?
How do you know my name?
When I was born, it was prophesied that...
...the man for whom I was destined would come...
...when the Mystic Moon hangs above the western mountains.
Destined?
Yes. Our meeting was fated.
Fated? What is your name?
Varie.
Varie, will you come with me?
Yes, Lord Goau.
Van's father and mother...
You can't marry a Draconian woman!
They're the accursed people who destroyed Atlantis!
She'll surely bring disaster upon Fanelia!
We can't possibly consent to this, Majesty!
I don't care what the legends say. They've nothing to do with Varie!
I've fallen in love with Varie! Nothing you do can separate us!
It's a boy!
It's a healthy boy!
Look, Folken! It's your little brother!
What's his name, Father?
Van. Van Fanel!
Van!
Mother!
You must never let anyone see your wings, Van.
Do you understand? Never show your wings until the time comes.
Promise me. Don't make your mother sad.
Mother...! I'm sorry, Mother!
Balgus! You've returned...
King Goau...
I was too late... King Goau...
Don't cry, Mother. I'll take my brother's place and be a strong king!
I'll be a strong man, just like Father! So don't cry, Mother...
Mother!
Soon afterwards, Mother went into the forest where the dragons nest...
...to look for my brother. For Folken.
Balgus went to look for her, but there was no sign of her.
Mother never returned to the castle.
Thanks.
Thanks for telling me.
And about those wings...
I really like your wings, Van. They're pretty.
You and Merle are probably the only people who'd say that.
What? So you're putting me and Merle on the same level?
Jerk.
I can't see it. I can't see the future...
My visions are in disarray, sinking into chaos...
Why won't you show me?
The dragon's shadow obscures my visions of the future...
Van, where are we headed?
The Duchy of Freid ought to be somewhere near here.
Van...
Wait, Van!
What is it?
I have a bad feeling about this.
I don't know what it is, but...
What? Is something here?
Is that them?
What's out there?
Be careful, Van!
Those invisible bastards from Zaibach, huh?
They're here... I know they're here.
Where... Where are they?
Van! Straight ahead!
Here they come!
Hitomi! Merle! Hang on tight!
Van! To the right!
Behind us!
What're you doing? You're missing!
I'm aiming at him, but...
It's almost as if he can see us, somehow.
Stop spouting nonsense! Just hit him!
But try not to kill him.
Where will they attack from next...?
What?
Van! Dead ahead!
What?!
We're getting out of here!
Don't let him get away!
A river... Perfect.
Hitomi! Merle! Hop down!
What're you gonna do?
Just do it!
Okay.
Van?
Lord Van!
What's he up to?
Merle! This way!
They fell for it... Turning invisible won't do them any good here.
And if I can see them...
Clever...
Now! Do it!
Perfect.
It doesn't matter if you can see us or not.
Lord Van!
Maybe I'll just crush you right here...
The Dragonslayers have captured the target!
Excellent. Take us down to retrieve the dragon.
Yes, sir.
What are we gonna do? They're gonna capture Van!
Somebody... Save Van...
Save Van!
Van, this was meant to be.
Leviship closing in from Norte quadrant!
What?
Allen!
It's good to see you again, Van.
You again...?! Allen!
Hitomi...!
Damn!
Miguel!
Hitomi!
No!
Allen!
I... got careless...
Allen! Answer me, Allen!
Allen!
It looks bad down there! He got hit bad!
Ships!
Freid convoy approaching!
Damn.
That's enough. Fall back, Dilandau!
Some ships from Freid are approaching.
If we're spotted, they might catch wind of our plan.
Damn it, it was just getting interesting!
Brother...
Answer me, Allen!
It's not working! The bleeding won't stop!
What happened to him?
We'll explain later! Call your doctor!
Is there a doctor on board?!
I'm sorry, but we're just a trading ship that makes daily runs...
...between Rampant in Asturia and Godashim in Freid.
We don't have a doctor who could handle a deep wound like that.
It's my fault... He tried to save me!
Allen...
Gaddes? Is that you, Gaddes?
Princess Millerna!
You're all together, I see.
Is someone hurt?
Allen? What happened?! Allen!
Allen...
Look at how much blood he's losing!
Gaddes, what are you waiting for?! He has to be treated right away!
If this bleeding isn't stopped, he won't last much longer!
There's no doctor...
Captain!
There's no doctor?
Can't you do it, Princess?
You've studied medicine, right?
But I've only studied books! I've never...
That's all right. You want Commander Schezar to live, right?
Only you can save him.
I'll do it.
Go bring me my blue bag, Mr. Mole.
This one, you mean?
Come on out! Nice and slow!
If the Commander dies, you're a dead man!
I think the anaesthetic has taken effect,
but hold him down to keep him from thrashing around.
Y-Yes, ma'am.
Commander...
Please, God... Allen...! Save Allen!
Please!
Van...
Blue searchlights meet beyond the Moon...
Yeah, my angel who came flying down, who are you?
The doors of destiny are opening before us,
so let's just fall in love.
I won't let go of this moment that's making my heart flutter...
Don't stop, baby!
Your mystic eyes are settin' me on fire,
your innocent smile breakin'me down...
You're the only one with that look in your eye.
An endless journey is beginning...
...with this unstoppable pounding in my heart,
and I wanna swoop down and take you with me!
