Escaflowne Page #2

But she has descended

to another dragon.

Another Dragon?

Van, huh?

The Wing Goddess has

descended to that bastard.

I cannot sense the Dragon

Armor's vibrations.

I see.

Without resonating with both

the Dragon and Wing Goddess...

...the Dragon Armor

will not come alive.

I am the only one who can

resonate with the Wing Goddess.

I wonder.

The Dragon Armor will

lay waste to all of Gaea.

Even you.

So be it.

That's my exact wish.

The King of Salas sends a

messenger to appeal for his life.

The Black Dragon Clan

needs no slaves...

...as Commander Folken

instructed.

Burn down and

annihilate everything.

How cruel.

Through conquest,

they burn down the villages...

...of innocent beast creatures...

...and follow that with slaughter.

How wretched.

Are you awake?

You had me worried

that you'd died.

We can't let you die.

What are you talking about?

This is a dream...

It must be a dream!

It's all a dream!

I just have to wake up!

That hurt...

Oh? Then, it's not a dream.

- Come with me.

- No! Please don't...!

I'm sorry! Please...!

Well?

That sunlight must've

perked you up?

Yes.

We need you to stay here

for a while.

Until we know for sure that

you're the true Wing Goddess.

Wing Goddess?

What do you mean by that?

You sure don't look

like a goddess.

Oh...

Anyway, tell me your name.

Okay.

It's Hitomi.

Hitomi Kanzaki.

Hitomi...

Sounds cute, that's a nice name.

My name is Millerna.

We're called the Abaharaki

in this world of Gaea.

Huh?

We're all survivors of the nations

destroyed by the Black Dragons.

That's why we fight them.

Fight?

Escaflowne is the God of battle.

He will be on our side and

help us fulfill our cause.

That's what the bard

of Freid told us.

"Escaflowne will be resurrected

by the Wing Goddess..."

"...arriving from the Mystic Moon."

And you emerged

from that Escaflowne.

I did?

I don't understand.

I'm sorry.

I really don't understand.

I'm sorry.

You must be hungry.

We don't have anything much,

but do you want something to eat?

N-No.

You don't have to...

Please, don't hesitate.

- But if...

- What?

If it's all right...

Yes?

Can I have some water?

I'm thirsty.

Well, why didn't you

say so earlier?

I'm sorry.

Man, if the Wing Goddess

really exists...

...I wish she'd bless us

with better food.

I'd rather be blessed

with good booze.

Does Boss really believe in that?

Who knows.

Kio, what do you think?

I don't know.

I've never seen

a real Wing Goddess.

No kidding.

What?

Do I really look so strange?

Yes, she doesn't look like

a person from this world.

If she is real,

the Black Dragon Clan...

...will come after her.

We can't hand the Wing

Goddess over to them.

Van, you'll protect her.

I don't believe she's real.

Are you afraid?

If she's the real Wing Goddess...

...the Dragon Armor

will appear again.

If the legend is true...

...Escaflowne will seek blood.

The blood of the Dragon Clan.

You are the last of the

Dragon Clan kings, Van.

Your blood.

I'm lost. Where am I?

What should I do?

Hello!

Oh my!

Hello?

Who is it?

Excuse me, but...

I'm looking for some water.

Water?

Wouldn't you go to the galley

if you want water?

But I don't know my way around.

You're weird!

I don't think you should talk.

Are you really the one?

What?

I mean, are you the

real Wing Goddess?

I don't know.

You should know!

I don't even know where I am.

Ridiculous!

It's been so stressful.

Now I'm so exhausted.

You don't look tired.

Upsy daisy...

Hey!

Mole Man, why are you here?

The voices of two young ladies

are like singing birds...

...that put me in such

a cheerful mood.

Oh, be quiet!

My lady, do I detect the

fragrance of a fine stone?

Stone?

Oh...

You mean this?

It's a beautiful stone.

You should take good care of it.

May I?

Wow...

I never would've thought you

were so good with your hands.

Good with his mouth, too!

He's a quack fortuneteller,

after all!

You two are so cruel.

All finished.

Wow!

Thank you.

Now, if you'll pay me...

Ow... Ow... Ow...!

Don't do business here!

When Lord Van was young...

...his country was destroyed

by the Black Dragon Clan.

Is he with the others?

Aren't they fighting

on the same side?

They met on the battlefield...

...and have been

together ever since.

So they're like comrades, right?

Not really.

Lord Van is always alone.

He always fights alone.

That doesn't make sense.

Lord Van was destined

to become a king.

Even though his country

and people are gone...

...he has to fight his enemies

for as long as he lives.

That's the destiny of one

who was born to be king.

But deep down, he's a

very kind and gentle person.

I've seen that side of him.

Hey, there's the king.

Hey, aren't you with that cutie?

He just can't get along with us,

can he?

Can't be helped.

He is a king, after all.

Is that it, Jajuka?

Commander Folken wants

whatever's inside that thing?

What is it like inside, Shesta?

Yes, sir. I can see...

...lowest deck, starboard side...

A girl in white at the stables...

I can see her...

A girl in white?

Lord Dilandau, we must

make this plan work.

All we need to do is snatch

the Wing Goddess, right?

I know that.

But you know...

...why can't we just kill them all?

The Abaharaki are

professional fighters.

If we lose too many of our men

because we ignored orders...

Enough of your babbling.

It's getting dark already.

It's hunting time!

Enemy assault!

Allen!

The Black Dragon cavalry

is coming!

This will delay our

arrival in Torushina.

Lord Dilandau!

Our objective is a feint operation!

Please remember that, sir!

Charge!

Lord Dilandau!

Don't let them get

inside the transport!

Kill anyone approaching it!

Let's go!

Stay close! Don't spread out!

What's happened?

It looks like we stopped.

A fight has started.

Stop, you...!

Help...

Goddamn it!

They're moving too fast!

Merle!

Merle!

Open your eyes, Merle!

Merle!

The enemy...

Hitomi...

The order called

for a feigned attack.

He's being pursued...

Don't move!

Who are you?!

If you keep quiet,

I won't kill you!

Are you okay?

Uh, yes!

Get close to me!

Go away, Nukushi!

Is that you, Lord Van?

Are you Lord Van of Adom?

Why are you getting

involved in a human fight?!

Doesn't that go against

your clan code?!

Humans dragged us

into this fight!

The Black Dragon destroyed

your land...?

Our village is in ruins...

...and the survivors were captured.

We forest creatures are no match

against battle-hardened humans!

In order to save our people...

...we made a deal with

the Black Dragon Clan.

We capture her in exchange

for our people's lives.

Lord Van, we need her!

I can't let you do that.

Leave, Nukushi!

I don't want to fight you!

Lord Van...!

Nukushi!

Oh well, I hit the wrong target.

But it doesn't matter,

he was useless anyway.

All we need to do is

snatch that girl, right?

We don't need the guy, do we?

So, I can do as I like, right?

Van...

Spread out!

He has magical powers!
