Escaflowne Page #4

from the Commander?

No, sir.

If something happens

to Lord Dilandau...

...we'll slay all of the sorcerers.

Hey. What's that noise?

Is it coming from the airshaft?

Lord Van.

What is it, Merle?

Lord Van...

...your eyes seem so much

more gentle.

Is that so?

Yes! I can tell.

Lord Van...

Merle, after the battle is over...

...let's go home to Adom.

Do you really mean that?

Yeah.

With this, everything will

come to an end.

Then I can...

Did you come here

to destroy Gaea?

What was that?

Wing Goddess...

Who is it?

Wing Goddess...

...please choose the path

of Gaea's destruction...

...so that all

suffering will cease.

The end of everything.

I...

I cannot do such a thing.

I beg of you.

Extinguish the sorrows

of this world...

...and Lord Folken...

Please help him.

He's calling me.

Van! Hitomi's gone!

Hitomi?

She isn't in her room?

This late at night?

I have a bad feeling about this.

I feel a presence.

It's Folken!

Van!

That must be it.

I have been waiting for

this moment a long time.

You must be Mr. Folken.

In order to extinguish all sorrow...

...I implore you to please

endow me with Escaflowne.

No!

Hitomi!

You do wish for the

end of the world.

That's not true.

I don't wish that!

You are wrong.

That you descended upon Gaea

proves you responded to my call.

Fulfill that wish...

...together with me.

You're trying to kill Van.

Folken!

Take your hands off her!

Van!

It's you, Van...!

Again, are you

going to take away...

...what belongs to me?

So be it.

But you shall suffer

the consequences.

It was a trick!

What?

I feel great!

I'm on fire!

Here it comes.

Gaea's destiny has been

set in motion.

Towards destruction or survival...

Which will the

Wing Goddess choose?

There you are.

The resurrected armor!

I too have wings, Van!

Stay away!

Shoot it down!

What the...?!

No! Stay where you are!

Hitomi!

Don't come near me!

Van, get out of here!

Hitomi?

Goddamn you!

Die!

Hitomi, get back!

No, don't descend!

Escaflowne...!

Van, wait!

No, don't go near it!

I can use Escaflowne,

to destroy that armor.

Don't!

Van, please, I beg of you...

Hitomi...

...I have the Wing Goddess

on my side.

Van...

Escaflowne! Take my blood!

Van!

Escaflowne is taking

Van's blood!

This way!

Escaflowne!

It has descended!

Lord Van...

Move!

So, that's the Dragon Armor

I've heard so much about.

What are you doing?

It's dangerous, get back!

But, Van's...!

I'll strike you down!

I'm going to tear you to pieces!

Move!

You summoned it, didn't you?

You have to believe

he won't destroy the world.

Van...

You will...

Burn!

Burn to ashes!

Mother.

Fight, Van!

The King of the Dragon Clan

never runs from his enemy.

Fight!

Fight, Van!

What the hell is this?!

Did I miss?!

I'll kill you!

Stop!

I'll kill you!

I'll slay my enemies.

I'll crush you!

What the hell was that thing?!

Boss!

The Dragon Armor...!

Is that the true nature

of the Dragon Armor?

Van...

It has answered Van's call,

not mine...

So be it!

My brother will destroy Gaea.

I wonder.

I sense the vibrations

of the Wing Goddess.

Her strong desire is

reaching the Dragon.

Desire?

It is said her desire has

the power to change the world.

It is not to change the world.

It is to annihilate it!

Don't you understand that?

That's why it destroyed...

...your Clan.

Lord Folken, poor soul...

The Dragon Armor

will annihilate everything.

I have to go.

Hitomi!

What are you trying to do?

No! Stay back!

- No, princess.

- Let go of me! Hitomi!

Van! Answer me!

Is this the end?

If it is...

...let me see your face

one more time!

Look at me!

Stay with me, Van.

Van!

Hitomi...

Van...

Van.

Van?

Where are you?

Is that you there?

Where are you, Van?

Where are you, Van?

Leave me alone!

Please come out!

Don't leave me alone!

I can't go back...

I can't escape this fight.

You can!

You don't understand.

I'm always alone.

I too am alone.

It's sad being alone.

It's painful.

I felt that way too.

But if we're together...

...at times we may hurt each other...

...and we may even part.

But...

...that is not the end.

I'll always be with you.

This is...

Is this Escaflowne?

The wing possesses the power

to seek the one who desires it.

I'm with you, Van.

The Dragon now has wings.

It's flying towards Lord Folken.

Sora, you are free now.

You can leave this castle

and go anywhere you desire.

Van is coming.

Bringing the Wing Goddess

with him.

I will take the

Wing Goddess's call.

The Dragon Armor yearns for me.

It wishes to annihilate the world.

I will remain here with you.

To witness your death, Lord Folken.

The prophecy of a divine being.

Yes, I will die.

I will destroy this world

and I too will be no more.

A White Dragon is flying!

Is that a real one?

White Dragon...

It's the God of the Sky, Escaflowne.

The God of the Sky is flying

towards Commander Folken.

He's here.

I can sense his presence.

Can you?

I've been waiting for you, Van.

Last king of the Dragon Clan.

I will carry your sorrow.

That's why I came here.

Don't make me laugh.

Van!

Even annihilating Gaea...

Van.

...will not end your sorrow.

Don't lecture me.

My very source of sorrow is you,

Van!

Stop it!

My only desire is to kill you

with my own hands!

Now, as King of the Dragon Clan...

...I want you to fight me!

No!

I no longer want to fight!

Then you shall die now!

Hitomi! Hitomi!

I'm okay, Van.

I'm fine!

Poor soul. I was like him.

I couldn't feel the pain

and sorrow of others.

I thought I was alone.

That is why you came to this

world, responding to my call.

But I'm different now.

Can't you understand?

Van's sorrow! Van's pain!

You are the one who

created Van's sorrow!

Yes.

This world is filled with sorrow.

To break the chain of destiny,

there is only total annihilation.

That is why I wished it...

...and abandoned my own wings.

You...

Commander Folken.

I'll now fulfill my wish.

This is for you...

...from those whom you've

oppressed and destroyed!

Commander Folken...

Revenge was your wish?

Mr. Folken...

Brother!

Stop!

Don't come any closer!

Brother!

Brother!

A sound I had long forgotten.

Please, go now.

After Lord Folken's gone...

...this castle will disintegrate.

Please fly away from

this cursed place.

What about you?

I will stay with Lord Folken.

The castle's falling apart.

Hitomi.

The Dragon people are dancing.

Wing Goddess.

The mighty Black Dragon

empire has crumbled to dust.

Where shall we go now?

There's always

another war to fight.

Let's go!

Hey, Van?

How long can I stay here?

Until the Mystic Moon

calls you back.

Until then, I will be with you.

Thank you.

We will always be together...

Can you hear it?

Can you hear her song?

namida ga ato kara afuredashite

As my tears keep overflowing,

saigo no egao ga nijinde mienai no

I can't see your last smile

through the blur.

ikanaide ikanaide koko ni ite

Don't go! Don't go! Stay with me.
