Urien

Truly impressive, Your Highness.

After Cornwall, and now Cameliard and Mercia... rumors of the alliance pledge are spreading across the continent.

Elizabeth

I didn't do it alone.

Urien

Haha, I know. Without Ethan's help, we wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Is the next destination Elaia?

Elizabeth

Yes, but we'll be stopping somewhere along the way.

Urien

Hmm? Where is that?

Elizabeth

We've found the location of the Holy Sword. We'll pass through Avalon's underwater city.

Urien

The location of the Holy Sword... could it really exist...?

Ian

If we can find the Holy Sword at this point, the morale of the allied forces will soar.

Elizabeth

Yes, this is a clue we found after a tough journey to the southern continent's desert. It should be related to the Holy Sword.

Urien

At least it's somewhere we can reach by ship, so we're lucky, Your Highness.

As you said, the ship is prepared, so please rest here today.

Elizabeth

Thank you, sir...

Bedivere

Hmm... we are leaving soon, though, with not much rest.

Elizabeth

We have no choice, Bedi. If Mordred's words are true, King Edward is in danger...

Sailor

Aah, merfolk!

Ethan

Once we get on the ship, they never leave us alone.

3. Shadow Waters

We've suffered for almost a week, attacked by merfolk and pirates.

But compared to the fear and pressure we felt this time, all that hardship seems nothing.

Kraken

Kraaah!

Bedivere

Eeek! It's... it's a Kraken!

Ethan

Damn it! Does this world even have Krakens?!

Morgana

Be careful! Forget the Kraken. The ship's going to sink!

Elizabeth

Quick, get it off the ship!

Bedivere

Huh... phew... that was close, the ship almost sank...

Ethan

... It's practically the same as sinking.

While we fought to fend off the Kraken, the ship had been severely damaged.

Morgana

Hmm, then I suppose it's time for me to step in?

Ethan

No! Don't do anything! Just stay out of it!

Think about what you did when we were headed to Avalon!

Morgana

Huh? That was because Ethan wouldn't stop!

Ethan

... Let's just not talk about it.

Elizabeth

Hey! Ethan, Morgana! There's a light beneath the surface...

Ethan

Huh?

Morgana

That's it. If we go into that light, we should be able to reach the underwater city.

Bedivere

Do we just jump in?

Ethan

The ship's about to sink anyway. If we come this far and don't gain anything, we're doomed. Let's go for it!

Splash!

...

Bedivere

Cough! Cough!

Ethan

Ugh... I almost suffocated...

Elizabeth

This is...

Morgana

Yes, it's the hidden paradise of the ancient fairies. The underwater city.

Here, I might finally learn why my companions disappeared so suddenly.

Ethan

We've gone through so much to find the Holy Sword. Let's see it through to the end!

Elizabeth

Let's go!

After barely defeating the Kraken, the ship was too damaged to sail any longer. At that moment, light glowed from beneath the surface. It was the way to the underwater city.
