I'll never forgive you...
I won't let anyone else die!
I won't let it end here.
I'll protect everyone...
I'll protect Isla!
Karl, don't let hatred rule you...
Focus only on the light.
If you forgive them...
We're here, Kal.
Come on, stand up...
You're in top form again today, Ari.
Episode 1 Island of New Journeys
Dad! Thanks for everything!
You're such a mess...
Look at your face.
Your body's grown up, but you still have the mind of a child.
I'll be back!
Kal, take care of Ariel.
She always loses control.
Yeah.
Right.
Stay well, my sisters.
Why so glum?
You're a man, so smile...
This is your big send-off.
Dad...
Fly, Kal-el.
Keep the promise you made to your mom.
Come on! Don't blush!
Aren't you a guy?
Shut up...
Say goodbye, or you'll regret it!
Yeah.
Thank you, Michael.
I will definitely return.
I'll find the End of the Sky, and become a great pilot.
Right. Get going.
Everyone, the day has finally arrived.
Many citizens have gathered here, at Wind Revolution Memorial Park.
Balsteros, the Kingdom of Qi, and Benares
have joined together, and the journey to the unknown is about to commence!
So these are all pilot trainees, huh?
What a bunch of weirdos.
Ari...
It may be a little late,
but are you sure about this?
It just feels
like I'm dragging you along...
We don't know when we'll return,
or even if we'll make it back at all.
Listen, Kal...
I'm not doing any of this for you.
But...
We're looking for the End of the Sky.
In everyday life, you never have the chance at an adventure like this!
That's true, but...
Wing angle at 90!
Start the rotors!
Wing angle at 90.
Starting rotors!
Let's go.
Hang on tightly.
Take off!
We're flying!
Takeoff complete.
Hydrogen battery stacks functioning normally.
Aerial Knights and trainees flying in v-formation on either side.
Launch the Luna Barco.
Set a course for the ceremony grounds.
They're alone?
Yeah, I heard one of the students was ill.
They're already on board.
Wow!
Upsy daisy.
Here I go!
You sound like an old woman...
I'm gonna throw it really hard.
In the beginning, there was a single drop of rain.
The drop fell for seven days and seven nights,
and on the eighth, it fell upon a flagstone.
The rain was so happy, it continued to fall.
It spread out, across the flagstone.
And it fell off the edge, into the abyss...
The flagstone mourned, and it pleaded with god.
"Saint Aldista, what happens to the rain is so sad.
I don't care what happens to me.
But please save the rain."
And god heard its request, and split the stone in two.
The rain again pooled upon the two flagstones,
and it became a blue sea that spread over them.
The flagstone split once more,
and then, as it prepared to split a third time,
the flagstone gave thanks to god.
And it created the Holy Spring,
which shot water high into the sky,
and the End of the Sky, which kept the water from falling off its edge.
And part of the flagstone flew up from within the Holy Spring,
and it became an island that floated in the sky.
Isla, the floating island!
To solve the mystery beginning the Creation Myth of Saint Aldista,
we now set out for the End of the Sky, which humanity has never seen.
Leave port.
Nina Viento!
Ah, it's Dad!
Hey!
You can't see him from up here, you liar.
No...
But I'm sure that by now, he's down there.
He'd see off his son and daughter.
Let's come back, no matter what...
Both of us.
"Once we're real pilots." Right?
I don't need you to tell me that.
You're such a brat.
You're my little brother, you know!
Right. Says the little sister.
Little brother!
Little sister!
Little brother!
Little sister!
Little brother!
Little sister!
Little brother!
Little sister!
Our turn next, huh?
Don't screw it up!
Shut up...
Calm down, you idiot!
I'm not an idiot!
Keep the propellers forward, and lower the nose.
Quickly!
That was embarrassing.
What an awful way to start, all thanks to you!
I couldn't help it...
The wind came out of nowhere.
"Ah, save me, Ari! Save me!"
What the hell? I never said that!
"I'm not an idiot!"
Well, I did say that.
They're pretty careless.
What are you doing?!
L-Listen, don't let it get you down.
I didn't do much—
Creepy!
So we have to walk from here?
Why don't they?
That can't be helped.
In class A, all the children are noble.
You are the students of Cadoques High, Aerial Division, class 1B, yes?
Welcome to the town of Centezual.
I am Shizuka Hazome.
I am in charge of managing these dorms.
A corner room?
Lucky.
I am Kal-el Albus.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Noriaki Kashiwabara.
And that's...
I'm Mitsuo Fukuhara.
Ariel?
Huh? What are you doing over there?!
Don't shout!
It's embarrassing!
You're yelling, too!
I'm allowed to yell. You aren't.
What was that? You're my little brother!
You're my little sister!
My...
Little brother? Little sister?
Those two...
What do you suppose their relationship is?
Whatever they are, it's going to be lively around here.
"Save me! Save me!"
Just shut up!
I'm not an idiot...
Is something wrong?
W-Well, um...
Wait... Kal?
What's with him?
Insulting me...
It isn't as though I want to be here, either!
Journey into the unknown?
Ha...
They just want to be rid of me.
Um...
Want me to take a look?
The chain's loose.
Here you go, fixed.
What's wrong?
I'm not sure I get it, but calm down.
First, try taking a deep breath.
Um!
Um, thank you!
That uniform... The flight school, right?
Y-Yeah... Why?
Um...
Actually...
Are you one of us?
I see...
I'm Kal-el Albus.
And you are?
Claire...
Claire Cruz.
Nice to meet you, Claire.
Nice to meet you, Kal-el.
Yeah.
Did you miss the ceremonial flight?
Is it all right for you to be out here?
What's wrong?
Curfew... I have to get back.
Is your house in Van Whyl?
I'll take you there.
If it gets dark, it could be dangerous.
Wow!
It's bright red...
The sunset feels totally different.
This is the sky, isn't it?
We're floating in the sky.
Yeah.
What's this?
I get it...
Isla flies at the same height as the clouds.
We're riding above the clouds.
Whoops.
We fell in the lake, huh?
That voice!
I'll get you!
W-Watch out!
Okay, I'm heading back.
Your pass.
No, I'm...
Hacienda Gate is the entrance to the nobles' area.
Only those with permission can pass.
Um...
Th-Thank you for holding me so tightly!
What a funny girl.
"Thank you for holding me so tightly," she said.
Claire Cruz... Claire Cruz!
Claire Cruz!
I will come back,
Mother.
And so, Isla left on a journey from which it would never return.
We still hadn't learned how cruel the world could be.
I am Ignacio Axis.
We're pairing up for flight class.
I don't care who I get, except that blond guy.
To begin with, a pair is—
