--OP--
We're splitting our forces into two?
It's just that Ogam and I are going somewhere.
Meanwhile, the rest of you will lead the army to Palladium.
--ED2--
Will it be all right with just us?
We will only be away for a little while.
What's wrong with Arthur?
Nii-sama is...
...where Taliesin-san is...
I see.
Arawn-sama... Is nii-sama...
Don't worry.
He'll be fine.
Yes!
We will meet up with you all once we have completed our objective.
Objective?
We are going to retrieve a weapon that could very well end this war.
Then, could you mean Dyrnwyn?!
Then, you are heading to that place?
Eh? Where is it exactly?
Gorsedd Arawn.
It is also known as Arawn's Throne.
In the past, where humans and elves fought shoulder to shoulder...
It was a place of temporal victory and eternal parting.
Gorsedd... Arawn.
A place of eternal parting...
Will you let me accompany you there?
Nii-sama!
Ogam, you said so before, didn't you?
If I go to Gorsedd Arawn then I can learn the truth of this world, right?
I... want to know everything.
Let me come with you!
The truth...? It's harsh.
It is better than losing my friends without knowing anything!
I see.
Your answers are always the same.
Then, we shall change our plan.
Ogam and I will lead the army to charge against Palladium.
Riannon and the others will accompany Arthur to Gorsedd Arawn.
Let's meet at Palladium, my friends.

Dyrnwyn
Ah! That is Gorsedd Arawn.
A monument to commemorate the victory during the previous war.
That sword... is Dyrnwyn?
Yes.
That is Pwyll-sama's sword, it is also the brother sword of Etlym.
Nii-sama!
What... was that...?
The obelisks are still raining down...
Pwyll-sama, if the gravitas continue to rain down...
then we shall lose our place on Earth.
Just believe...
In our sole and absolute God, Watos.
And among God's messengers, the 12 Angels are seated high in the heavens.
That's right. If we believe...
Our sole and absolute God, Watos.
The 12 sublime White Angels.
I am a servant to you who are most high and pure...
No matter how many prayers we offer, they are nothing more than encouragement.
Our pact with the heavens was already broken long ago.
Could it be...
A human child?
Why are you here? Have you snuck out of Avalon?
Ah, that's right. You humans... can't speak anything but prayers now.
Return that child to me.
She's my prey.
My my... I suppose you are a dragon nobleman.
Although it is rude of me, but this land is under the control of Avalon.
I wish for you to leave that human child behind, and return alone.
Please do not laugh.
It is forbidden to laugh or cry here.
We aren't even allowed to breathe without permission...
What rubbish.
Who is it? And what right do they have to forbid it?
Who are you exactly... to speak so disrespectfully?
I am Arawn of Annuwyn.
Annuwyn...
It is the country located in the deepest abyss of this world.
Where the scum try to live in their own trivial ways... that kind of country.
However, it's far better than here.
Even you should know of that place.
You should have been seeking it.
I am... seeking that place?
So you don't understand...?
Well then, she alone will suffice as the prey.
I can't allow that!
I have a responsibility imposed upon me from the heavens to protect the humans of this land.
Duty...?
Please show some mercy.
Mercy?
Unfortunately, it seems that I've left such things behind in the previous world.
I will have to take that child back...
...even if it's by force.
Oh?
You are saying you will fight me?
I see. It looks like you're for real.
That's Dyrnwyn. I'm giving it to you.
If you know how to use it, you can even kill gods!
What?! Things like that...
What's wrong? Aren't you going to try to lift the sword?
In fact, that is what I think you really need.
What I really need...?
If I do as you say and accept this sword,
will you return that child?
Yes.
What are you planning to do with her?
I will protect her in the concentration camp of Avalon.
Protect, you say? How laughable.
That's a cage where humans are imprisoned until they die.
A prison that robs freedom from the innocent.
You were originally the leader of the elves, but now you're the warden of a death camp.
That's quite a promotion... Elf King Pwyll!
You bastard...!
You should know.
Avalon wasn't built as a concentration facility.
Do you know what the sturdy defence and weaponry were meant to be used for and against?
The hopes of everyone living on Earth were put into it!
And yet, you're trampling on that.
You've made Avalon into hope's grave!
Please... please return to from whence you came.
What are you saying that I should do?
You should already know.
There currently isn't one shred of truth in this world.
I know that!
But that is our punishment for not being perfect.
If even the God of creation does not allow it,
how do you supposed we should live?!
Your lives belong to you.
The fact that you are trying your best to live is more than enough for you to exist.
But...
Seems like what I've said isn't very persuasive.
If Myrddin were still alive, he would have said it a bit better.
How do you know that name...?
Who on earth... are you?
Sorry, Arawn!
I spoke in front of a stranger.
It's fine if it's him.
That's great.
Hey, hey, what's making that buun buun sound?
That is a honeybee.
Honeybee?
A human... is saying words other than prayers?
That can't be... She overturned the 12 Angels' decision.
There shouldn't be anyone on Earth who can do that...
Could it be... you are...
I am Arawn of Annuwyn.
The 13th Angel, Myrddin's failure of a son.
Myrddin-sama's... son!
Arawn-sama! Please lead us!
I... What should we do from now on?
You mustn't do that. That's just like repeating what you've done until now.
If you desire to walk the same road as me, never kneel again.
The same road... as you?
I walk the road of kings.
The road of kings...
The road to the country that Myrddin desired, Annuwyn.
Elf King Pwyll.
Do you wish to create it together with me?
To create Annuwyn.
You already have an answer, don't you?
Yes, indeed.
Then, will you become my friend?
Friend?
A word that does not exist in the heavens.
A friend is someone you laugh with, sing with, and cry with.
Someone to eat with, to drink with, and occasionally quarrel with.
And guarding each other's back while fighting shoulder-to-shoulder.
People who entrust their lives to each other!
Arawn! I will fight!
For our survival!
To prove that we lived!
I'm Lucifer.
Don't forget it. It's Lucifer.
The star shining in the dawn sky, heralding revolution.
That's me.
I've now revealed my true name to you.
Are you serious?! Announcing your true name to someone you've just met?!
What are you saying?
You entrust your life, right?
...When you're friends.
Arawn...
Regius. I'm Regius.
That is my true name!
The small king?
Such a trifling name suits you.
What?!
We should quarrel now, right?
...If we're friends.
What, we're laughing now?
Friends sure is a tough thing.
So weird.
My friend, Arawn.
I hereby swear.
To fight even if I am the last one remaining of a thousand!
Yes. My friend, Pwyll.
Nii-sama...
What's wrong, Octavia?
It seems like the enemy has laid a trap.
But this is strange...
My heart is indescribably excited.
Yeah, my body feels extremely light.
I don't feel that we will lose at all.
It must be Dyrnwyn responding to us.
That must be it, responding to our will in wanting to protect our friends.
Yes.
Right then, let us fight to our hearts' content.
Yeah!
Ogam, please use recovery magic immediately!
Pwyll-sama, please calm down.
What are you doing?
Hurry and heal Arawn!
Be silent!
Please, I beg you. Stay calm.
Ogam, you...
The Merkadis' main cannon hit him point blank.
With this much electrum having pierced and torn apart his whole body, it's already...
How could it... Someone as strong as him...
There's no way...
Pwyll...
Arawn!
How did the battle go?
Be at ease.
You've destroyed that thing using your powers.
Look.
With that, the connection with the heavens have been severed.
We won a great victory.
They were completely taken in by the bait.
They concentrated their forces without realizing I was a decoy.
But now, their rage must have lessen.
At least, they were able to put an end to me...
Why are you speaking so feebly...
I know my own body.
Meeting my end within a mountain of corpses like this is my just reward for the error I made long ago.
Arawn...
I still have something I haven't told you.
What is it? This isn't like you.
Hurry and speak up.
...I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?!
In the long battle, the majority of the elves died.
This piece of land has been contaminated with gravitas.
There may have been another way, and I got you all caught up in this.
What are you saying?! You told us to raise our heads and fight on.
And you also taught us about dignity and pride of those striving to live.
Even if it is our fate to wither and fade away, we elves will never forget the many things you have taught.
Thank you, Arawn.
My friend, and our great king.
You would still call me a friend? A king?
Of course! You are the true king among kings.
A great king to rule all other kings!
Ah... I can see it now.
Our ideal kingdom, Annuwyn.
It's right there. It's so close but...
Arawn! Hang in there!
Don't worry, I won't die.
Dying isn't something we gods do.
I will just fall into a deep slumber until my wounds heal.
No matter how much time passes, I will definitely return.
So that one day, I can live with your descendants.
Will you lend me your shoulder?
When those who walk the road of the kings meets their final hour...
...They should keep standing on their own two feet.
Isn't that right...?
You stupid show-off...!
Now, hold tight.
Arawn, I will hereby return Dyrnwyn to you.
Even though the battle is over, it can be still used as a support.
No, I no longer need a sword to be used as a support.
Use this god-slaying sword to sever the connection with the heavens.
Pwyll, please recite it with me.
The seal verses of incantation.
By the sunset's remaining light, and the light of the morning star...
By our eternal friendship...
Create a peaceful night...
Create a kind, and gentle world...
For this land...!
For the whole world...!
Dyrnwyn!
Become the shield of this world...!
And the foundation of our hopes!
Your true wish... I know what it is.
So... sleep in peace.
Until the day when you shall awake once more.
So that you may pass this sword to my future descendants.
I see. So that's truth behind this world.
Dyrnwyn.
Many years have passed since then.
The invasion from the heavens has already begun to break through your protection.
So... lend us your power once more!
Dyrnwyn!
Arawn-sama!
Yeah.
Nii-sama!
Arthur, I knew you could do it!
Everyone!
Let's go!
Towards Palladium! To our friends' side!
Palladium
