Euden is the main character of the game Dragalia Lost. He is the seventh scion of Alberia and the older twin brother of Zethia. He has the ability to form pacts with dragons. As the game progresses, Euden goes from a prince of Alberia to a leader in his own right.

History

Euden is the seventh scion of the Alberian Empire, and the twin brother of Zethia, the Auspex. He first appears in Chapter 1, where he, Zethia, and Notte set out to form a pact with the dragon Midgardsormr. Along the way, they meet the paladin Elisanne and the mercenary Ranzal. But Zethia is taken by their father, Aurelius, who seems to be possessed. He meets Cleo at the castle called the Halidom and finds that Alberia is now Dyrenell. After this Euden meets Luca and Sarisse and makes pacts with Mercury, Brunhilda, Jupiter, and Zodiark. The Other stops possessing Aurelius and turns to Zethia.

Along the way Euden encounters other adventurers. These include the assassin Alex, the robots Laxi and Mascula, and his siblings Chelle, Leonidas, and Valyx, who are initially persuaded to work with the empire.

In Chapter 14, the party storms Dyrenell Castle to confront The Other, Morsayati. Morsayati tells Euden the only way to save Zethia is to let him possess Euden himself. He leaves Zethia and tries to take control of Euden, but instead he is absorbed by Beren, Euden's lost older brother who went by the false name of Ed. Zethia is taken by Volk, a member of the Agito led by Nedrick.

When Euden and the party confront Nedrick, he forces them to fight Valyx, brainwashed. He then tells Euden and Zethia that Euden was never the real seventh scion of Alberia, but rather Nedrick was. Nedrick died from the dragonscales disease and was replaced by Euden, but Nedrick had been brought back into a body created by the former faerie king Finlorda by using a piece of Morsayati's flesh and faerie magic.

Euden and Nedrick team up to defeat Bahamut, but he possesses Zethia. However, the team realizes that Bahamut is not the one who had willed to possess her. Nedrick attempts to end Zethia's pact with Bahamut by taking it himself. The team stops him when Audric reveals he is actually an alternate version of Aurelius.

One of Euden's brothers, Phares, and Beren revive the Progenitor Xenos onto the world. Xenos had replaced the real Phares with a fake (believing the real Phares was dead) and done the same with Harle, replacing him with Loki. Battling an alternate version of Euden, Zena (the version of Zethia from the other timeline) defeat him, but at the cost of the destruction of all worlds. The party enters Xenos's stronghold. They find other versions of themselves who have lost faith in the prince. They fight Beren, who is killed, but they are then forced to fight more alternate versions of themselves. The Agito arrive and align themselves with the party. They confront Xenos and defeat him, although Mordecai (created by Ilia) dies in the process. The five auspexes (Zethia, Zena, Ilia, Sheila, and Origa) attempt to create a new world, but they are unable to because the core of Xenos remains, with only Euden able to contact it. Euden successfully severs Xenos's connection to the world, but severs his own as a result.

The new world is formed, similar in many ways but without the presence of Euden, with only Midgardsormr remembering his existence. As Zethia and the seven other scions (Beren and Nedrick included) prepare for a formal event, Zethia has the feeling that she is forgetting something. As she walks around the town, she encounters a young villager and begins to cry. The villager says she was always quick to cry, and when questioned by Zethia, he refers to himself as “just some fellow from around the way", and introduces himself as Euden.

Personality

Euden is shown to be a kind individual, often putting the needs of others before his own. This extends to the people he welcomes in the Halidom, with the prince having next to no standards as to who is allowed in. This has occasionally been a problem, such as in the Cursed Connections event, when he lets Mukuroshu member Doman into the castle, believing him to be an envoy of Seimei. The game itself references Euden's near-inability to not let people into the Halidom on multiple occasions.

Euden is deeply caring of his friends and family, especially his twin sister Zethia. His care for his sister has occasionally led to conflict. In Chapter 14, Euden leads the party into a trap after being tricked by an illusion of Zethia, and later in the chapter he offers to be possessed by Morsayati in exchange for her freedom. In Chapter 15, he tries to send the party back to the Agito to rescue Zethia despite their earlier defeat, bringing him in conflict with the rest of the party. He is only convinced to stay by Zena, a version of Zethia from another world.

Aside from his family, Euden is also a kind person to friends and strangers. His kind personality has partially led to him being a subject of attraction for some, with several characters being stated or implied to have romantic feelings towards him. These include Elisanne, Cleo, Mym, Althemia, Estelle, Ezelith, Hildegarde, Malora, Melody, Orion, Philia, Verica, Naveed, and Prometheus. For the most part, Euden has been shown to not fully understand the idea of romance, and aside from a few characters, does not notice when someone is attracted to him.

In the Dragalia Life comics, Euden is shown to have an affinity for cute things, especially dragons. A recurring gag in the comics has Euden be overwhelmed upon seeing a cute dragon, often turning into "mush" (as one comic puts it) when he sees one.

Adventurer Stories Episode 1 Nascent Loneliness Please note that this story contains spoilers for Chapter 10 of the main campaign. Empress Zethia: Now! Commence the invasion at once! Trample all before you and show those curs the full power of the Dyrenell Empire! Villager: Everyone, run! RUUUUUN! Imperial Commander: Do not leave even a single soul alive! Let the hammer of judgment fall heavy upon all who would oppose the Empire! Imperial Soldiers: Yes, sir! Imperial Soldier: Face judgment, traitors! Villager: P-please, mercy! Gaaaaaah! Imperial Commander: Let this serve as a message to the world as to the fate that awaits any who would aid and abet sedition or treason. Let loose the fiends, men! Raze it all to the ground! Villager: Blimey, they've got fiends, too?! Someone, please! Help us! Nooooo! Imperial Commander: Do it now!  ???: ROAAAAAAR! Imperial Commander: What the hell was that?! The Windwyrm! No, the rebel prince! I KNEW it! Gala Prince: Your rampage ends now. Imperial Commander: Ha! What rot is this?! Gala Prince: If you persist in this injustice, I will strike you down myself! Imperial Commander: The hells take you! You're but one boy who won't live to regret his own idiocy! Imperial Soldiers: Hraaagh! Gala Prince: Haaaah! Imperial Soldiers: Aaaarrrgh! Imperial Commander: He slew them all?! Blast! Fiends! To me! Gala Prince: Your fiends won't save you this day. ...By the power of my pact! ROAAAAAR! Imperial Commander: Your dragonblood is a pretty trick, but let's see how it stands up to fire! Gala Prince: Bring what you will; I have bonds with many dragons I can call upon! Haaaah! Imperial Commander: What...? Fiend: Urguuuugh... Imperial Commander: The fiends are scared? But they're controlled by the Empress herself! Fiend: Guuurgh... Gala Prince: No fiend escapes! Come, Shadowwyrm! Lend me your power! Haaaah! Imperial Commander: He's taking out all of us by himself! Gala Prince: Enough! Lay down your arms now, and I will spare your lives! Imperial Commander: And live with the shame of retreat? Hah. Die, traitor! Gala Prince: Ah! Imperial Commander: Y-you...monster... Gala Prince: My strength grows by the day... Villager: Urgh... Gala Prince: You there! Are you all right? Villager: EEEK! S-stay back! Gala Prince: You don't need to be afraid anymore. The imperials are gone. Villager: Nooooo! Monster! Gala Prince: Wait, you mean ME? But that's... Oh, look! There's the rest of your town! I'm glad to see you're all well. Villagers: Eeeeeek! Gala Prince: Why are they all acting like this?  ???: Heh heh. I came to the battlefront for a spot of entertainment, but who could have imagined it would be THIS wonderful?! Gala Prince: I know that voice... Empress Zethia: Oh, what a sad and pathetic show this is. You grow your strength for the people's sake, yet that same power causes them to shrink from you in mortal terror! Gala Prince: Morsayati! Empress Zethia: Now do you understand the depths of human foolishness, heir of Alberius? Gala Prince: What are you talking about? Empress Zethia: The ill will they show toward you is the true nature of man. They flee what they do not understand—they reject it. It was the same for your dear Alberius! He, too, was rejected by his people. Gala Prince: That's enough! Empress Zethia: They will betray you someday, just as they did him. They WILL reject you. I eagerly await the opportunity to see what you do when that time comes. But for now, my dear prince...farewell! Gala Prince: Stop! I need to know what you mean! ...Is he right? Is that REALLY our true nature? Episode 2 The Fate of the Strong Child: It's all your fault that my mom... Gala Prince: I'm sorry. I had no choice. Child: Shut up! I HATE YOU! Gala Prince: ...... Fiend: Graaargh! Ranzal: Damn it! Them Empire chumps brought a huge fiend with 'em! Gala Prince: If we don't stop it right now, the village will be wiped out! Elisanne: Your Highness, wait! Don't run off by yourself! Gala Prince: Grant me your power, dragon! Haaaaah! Fiend: Graaaagh! Gala Prince: It almost feels like the fiends are getting stronger lately... I wonder if this has to do with Morsayati being fully revived now? Fiend: Graaaargh! Gala Prince: Huh? Gaaaah!  ???: EEEK! Gala Prince: Huh?! Villager: *sniffle* Gala Prince: Damn! I didn't want the villagers to get caught up in this! Fiend: Grraaargh! Gala Prince: But we have to take this fiend out now! Child: My mom suffered, and it's all your fault! You should never have come here! Gala Prince: But I... Cleo: The woman from earlier is conscious again, Euden! Hurry! Child: What?! Mom! Gala Prince: I'm so glad she's okay! But even so, that doesn't change the fact I put all of these people in danger... Elisanne: You look quite low, Your Highness. Notte: Yeah, keep that chin up! You're just out here doing the best you can, remember? Gala Prince: I know, but even so... Ranzal: Boss? This is gonna sound harsh, but if ya let this kinda thing get to ya, ya ain't gonna be no good to anybody. This war's gettin' fiercer by the day, which means folks are gonna be hurt. There just ain't no way everyone walks outta this thing with a happy ending. Luca: Still, it's probably not good to have the people we're tryin' to protect angry at us. Cleo: ...... You know, King Alberius himself once went through a similar experience. Gala Prince: What happened? Cleo: He fought off the Dyrenell Empire to protect a village. Sadly, the casualties from that battle were most severe. Had the king and his allies never come, the damage would have been lessened— or so went the line of reasoning among people who held him responsible. Luca: That seems REALLY unfair! Gala Prince: What did Alberius do about it? Cleo: He simply said, "This is the fate that awaits all who bear great power." Elisanne: That's it? Cleo: Yes. And he didn't make any changes to his policies or plans. However... Notte: Yeah? However what? Cleo: Let us just say His Majesty was not the type to display his pain openly. Elisanne: So he buried it inside himself instead? Cleo: Yes. Gala Prince: Alberius was stronger than I knew... (But I find that strength to be so very... lonely. Does that mean I'm weak?) Episode 3 Fatherly Wisdom Aurelius: I would ask a question of you, my son: What makes the ideal king? Gala Prince: I'm not certain I understand. Aurelius: Should you pass the Dragon Choosing, you will gain the right of succession. As such, I would hear what you believe constitutes the ideal king. Gala Prince: I... Aurelius: Are you unable to answer? Gala Prince: N-no, I just... Well, I suppose that a ruler in the model of the Founder King Alberius would be ideal. Aurelius: It is true he was a great man who brought prosperity to this kingdom, as well as a just king. However, he also had a terrible flaw as a ruler. Do you know what this was? Gala Prince: What his flaw was? I'm sorry, Father, but the tales of Alberius only ever speak about his greatness. I haven't ever really thought about him HAVING a flaw, to be honest. Aurelius: That is understandable. However, he most certainly did posses a flaw that must never be overlooked by other rulers... He was too strong. Gala Prince: Can you BE too strong?! I mean, I've heard the incredible tales of his strength that have been passed down over the previous centuries, but I didn't ever hear about it being a PROBLEM. Can you explain what you mean? Aurelius: I am not surprised you do not understand. A day may someday come when you do... But perhaps it would be better if you never had to face such a moment. Gala Prince: Father...? Notte: Hey! ...HEEEEY! What is your DEAL, man?! Gala Prince: Huh?! Oh, sorry, Notte. What is it? Notte: "It" is that I've been over here trying to get your attention for roughly a week! Gala Prince: Sorry. I was woolgathering, I guess. Notte: Yeah? What about? Gala Prince: Some time back, my father said Alberius had the flaw of being too strong. Notte: What, like he accidentally punched holes in the wall or whatever? Gala Prince: Heh. I didn't understand it at first, either. Notte: But you DO understand now? Gala Prince: I think so. See, if you're too strong... ...... Notte: Dude, please don't make me finish your sentences for you. That's SO annoying. Gala Prince: Yeah, sorry. Maybe I don't get it after all. Notte: Huh? Gala Prince: Never mind. What did you need when you first came over here? Notte: Oh, that! Just dinner. Cleo says to come eat before Ranzal claims your share. Gala Prince: Okay. I'll be right there. Notte: Hustle those buns, son! Gala Prince: I think I know what Father wanted me to understand about Alberius... Having too much strength isolates a person, and a king can't afford that. And yet, Alberius was facing the Other. He NEEDED that kind of strength. But I have much the same choice lying in wait for me. Can I even BE as strong as Alberius? And if I do, will I end up...? Help me, Father... What should I do? Episode 4 The Strength to Endure Gala Prince: Well, great. I'm lost. I'm pretty sure I came that way while I avoided the imperial army, so—  ???: EEEEK! Gala Prince: Who was that?! Fiend: Grrrraagh! Girl: No! Papa! Father: Run, sweetie! Go! Girl: B-but you— Father: I'll be right behind you! Now go! Fiend: Graaagh! Gala Prince: Haaaaah! Are you okay?! Father: Wh-who are you?! Gala Prince: I heard screaming and came to see if I could help. Father: Well, we're alive because of you. If there's anything we can do, please let us know. Gala Prince: Well, I'm actually in a bit of trouble myself, so I'd be relieved if you could help me. Father: Oh? So you got yourself lost, huh? Well, we'd be happy to take you as far as our village. If you follow the path from there, you can get where you're headed. Gala Prince: That would be great, thank you. Girl: C'mon, let's go! This is our village! It's called Araba. Gala Prince: (Araba? That's under the Empire's control. I'd better get out of here as soon as I can.) Village Chief: Ho, there you are! We were getting worried about the two of you! Father: We were attacked by fiends and saved by this good soul here. Village Chief: Gracious! This village owes you a mighty debt, sir. Gala Prince: I only did what anyone would. Er, and not to be rude, but I really need to be on my way. Father: W-wait, sir! Merely showing you to this village is not enough to repay the debt we owe you! Gala Prince: Look, that's REALLY not necess— Village Chief: At least let us prepare you a meal before you're on your way! Gala Prince: Well, I suppose one meal wouldn't hurt... Villager: Hmm... I've seen that man before... Girl: And just then he came running in and took down the enemy with a single blow! Gala Prince: I don't know if I'd go quite THAT far... Villager: Chief, might I have a moment? Oh, and you'll want to hear this as well. Father: What do you need me for? Villager: Just get over here already! Father: Fine, fine! What is it? Villager: The man you brought back to the village is the traitor prince! Village Chief: What?! But that's the most wanted man in the Empire! I hear he's been fomenting chaos and sedition everywhere he goes! Father: He doesn't seem so bad to me. Villager: That's because you haven't seen him on the battlefield like I have. I watched him transform into a ferocious dragon and slaughter our comrades. He's not a man—he's a MONSTER! Father: N-no... That can't be! Villager: If we don't report this to the Empire, they'll assume we support his treason. Father: But that man saved my daughter's life, as well as my own! Village Chief: And yet, we don't have a choice. We must report this man. Father: Chief! You're on board with this?! Village Chief: It would mean rebuke or worse for our village if the Empire discovered that we knowingly harbored him. Father: But... Gala Prince: (I thought there was something strange going on over here, but I never expected it would be THIS...) Empress Zethia: They will betray you someday, just as they did him. They WILL reject you. Gala Prince: ...... (I have to sneak away from this place before things get out of hand.) Girl: Don't be stupid, Papa! Gala Prince: Ah! Girl: How can you even SAY that?! Father: What are you doing here?! Girl: That man saved you AND me! He's a good person! Villager: You know nothing, girl! That is no man at all, but a monster! Girl: Then he's a GOOD monster! I don't wanna hurt someone who helped us! Father: I know, sweetie, but— Gala Prince: Listen to me, all of you. Villager: Ah! He's here! Gala Prince: Yes, but I'm leaving. Now. Once I'm gone, go immediately to the Imperial Army and tell them how you discovered me here. Girl: No! Gala Prince: This is the only way. If you don't, your village will suffer for it. Go to them. Tell them I ran off after you stumbled upon me sneaking around. Father: So we are to reward your kindness by setting the Empire on your trail?! Gala Prince: That's exactly what you're going to do. Besides, I didn't help you in hopes of a reward—I did it because it was right. Villagers: ......  ???: There you are, traitor! Gala Prince: Damn, it's the Imperial Army! I didn't leave fast enough! Imperial Soldier: To think a village of the Dyrenell Empire would harbor a rebel like this! Village Chief: N-no! You've got it all wrong! Imperial Soldier: Silence! I hereby name the villagers of Araba to be traitors to the Empire! Gala Prince: Enough! They had nothing to do with this! It's me you want, so come and take me! Imperial Soldier: Trying to protect your fellow rebels, eh? Put this village to the torch, men! Do not permit a single soul to live! Gala Prince: I tried to be reasonable about this, but you've left me no choice! Dragon, grant me your power! Imperial Soldier: Urk! Y-you...traitor... Gala Prince: That ought to be the end of it. Are you people all right? Villagers: ...... Village Chief: Y-yes, we're all right. Gala Prince: Good. But if the Empire comes back, you all need to flee to the Halidom. Villager: Why are you still helping us? We just tried to sell you out! Gala Prince: Some of you did so, yes. But others tried to aid me. Girl: Like me! Gala Prince: I wanted to protect the people here, so I fought. That's all there is to it. Anyway, I'll be off. I'm sorry I got you wrapped up in this, and I pray you never have to deal with it again. Villagers: ...... Gala Prince: Just having people I want to protect is reason enough for me to fight. Too much strength is isolating, but I know now a means of enduring that isolation. ...I wonder if Alberius thought the same way. Episode 5 The Power of Bonds The Battle of Barnicia Plain... Even among the Founder King's considerable military exploits, the Battle of Barnicia Plain was particularly noteworthy. Alberius had been split off from his allies and embroiled in a great battle with Dyrenell alone. Despite this, the Founder King crushed his foes and proved once and for all his military genius. And now, upon that same stage... Empress Zethia: Advance, my loyal troops! Give the appropriate reward to any fool arrogant enough to turn their weapon upon us! Imperial Army: FOR OUR EMPREEEESS! Ranzal: Hell, they got us outnumbered so bad, I can't even tell how outnumbered we are! Elisanne: Perhaps, but we still have a chance to win; most of the enemy forces are under the direct control of the Other. If we can defeat the Other—or even just land a strong blow—we can throw the troops into disarray. Mym: We've come too far to turn back now! Gala Prince: Right. We'll strike hard at a single point and break straight through to the Other's command post! Everyone: Yeah! Gala Prince: Haaaaah! Luca: This ain't fair! For every baddie I feather, six more come and take their place! Alex: Move aside! Haaaaah! Gala Prince: Don't try to take out every last man— focus on breaking their ranks! Cleo: A sound strategy, but one that might prove impossible with this many foes. Elisanne: That's no excuse to give up! Now gather your strength and follow His Highness! Ranzal: This ain't good, boss—we're gonna start losin' folks before we can break through. Gala Prince: Then I'll just have to clear a path! Everyone, form ranks behind me! I'm going to call the dragon! Forwaaaaard! *pant* *pant* F-finally! We made it! Morsayati! Empress Zethia: I would compliment your splendid efforts, dear brother, but perhaps you would do better to take a look around you? Gala Prince: What are you scheming now? And where did everyone go?! Empress Zethia: Ah yes, you are completely alone now— and not unlike Alberius in that way. Gala Prince: What?! Empress Zethia: Let me tell you the truth about the "legendary" battle he fought here. For despite what the brave stories say, Alberius did not intend to fight alone. But with his strength, you see, none could follow him. So no matter what battlefield he fought upon, he had no CHOICE but to carry on fighting alone. And with that...what will you do? Soldiers! Cut down this traitor! Imperial Soldier: Die, villain! Gala Prince: I...I won't be defeated! I'm not done yet! Haaaah! *pant* *pant* I...can still fight... Imperial Soldier: How can he take on all of us at once? He can't be human! Empress Zethia: Tsk! Do you not realize that the more power you demonstrate, the more you leave your world behind? You are like me now. A being far above ordinary mortals. The mere idea of you fighting alongside them is nonsense. You seek to build a world that holds no place for you! It is a mad endeavor! Gala Prince: So what if I am? Empress Zethia: What? Gala Prince: I'm not fighting for someone else's sake— I'm fighting to protect the things that are most important to ME. I'm not looking for justice. I'm not even sure what I'm doing will bring peace. I'm doing this for me. It's...selfish. And the only reward will be an eternally crushing loneliness. But if isolation is the fate that awaits those with power, then I accept it! Now come, Zodiark! Aid me once more!  ???: You mustn't, Euden... Gala Prince: That voice... It can't be!  ???: You must not repeat Alberius's mistake. You have your own path—one built on stronger bonds than even you know. Gala Prince: What...? I... *gasp* Ranzal: Sorry for runnin' late, boss! Cleo: *pant* I'm glad we caught you... Gala Prince: Guys! You came! Luca: 'Course we did! I mean, not that it stopped you from tryin' to take care of everything on your own like you always do. Look, we ain't dumb—we all see how much more powerful you're becoming. But WE'VE been growing, too! Elisanne: He speaks the truth, Your Highness. We won't let you walk this path alone! Alex: Everything will be well now. Mym: Think of our relationship, darling! I'll be with you until the very end! Notte: And you KNOW you're never gonna shake good ol' Notte! Gala Prince: ...... Elisanne: We cannot soar through the skies on dragon's wings as you can... Ranzal: But we all got a good pair'a feet, so we'll still be there—even if it takes us a bit longer to hoof it. Gala Prince: You're right. There was never any need for me to become like Alberius. I have my own path. A different path. One lined on either side by friends. Thank you, everyone. And thank you, Father. Empress Zethia: I'd not expected you to fall victim to such treacle! How can you possibly hope to succeed with this band of rabble forever holding you back?! This pathetic idea where you succeed at the side of your "friends" is naught but the basest of fantasies, and I will dispel you of it here and now! Gala Prince: The power I've been granted is the power of my bonds with others, Morsayati, and I'm going to show you just how much such a thing can do! Come on, everyone! Let's do this!

Mym: Here's a hint: you know how Siren and the others are all top-tier performers? Mym: The thing is, they're SO good that their shows can be a little intimidating for first-timers. Mym: What we really need is an act that'll capture the heart of the average person. Mym: And that's where you come in, darling! Euden: I'm not sure I follow. Siren: We want you to form a brand-new boy band and knock everyone's socks clean off! Siren: You'd be doing your girl Siren SUCH a solid. Pretty please? Euden: You want me to be a pop star? I mean, I do want to help you, but... I don't know if I'm cut out for that. Elisanne: His Highness has enough duties as it is. I hardly think it appropriate to— Mym: Elisanne. Sidebar?

So just play along! Elisanne: Your Highness! I believe there is merit in giving this "pop star" venture a try. Euden: Wait, really? What made you change your mind? Elisanne: Your smile brings hope and courage to the citizens of this land. Elisanne: This is something only you can do. We'll do everything we can to support you, so please! The world needs you!

That's what you just auditioned for, remember? Summer Norwin: I...did? Wait, you mean when you forcibly dragged me here and told me to, and I quote, "show off them skillz"? Siren: Right-o!

Summer Lucas: *pant* *pant* I think I'm gonna keel over... Summer Norwin: "Siren"? More like "tyrant." Siren: You wanna know why? 'Cause the stage isn't just a place of dreams and wonder. It's a battlefield, too! Siren: If you put on a shoddy show, you'll be in for a world of hurt. Ever been booed off a stage with a flurry of garbage? Not fun. Summer Ieyasu: We certainly wouldn't want that. The road to stardom is arduous indeed. Siren: That's right! So if you wanna make this gig a success, you need to go HARD in these lessons. I wanna see back sweat, boys! Summer Leonidas: This is ridiculous. YOU are ridiculous. I'm leaving. Summer Euden: Ah—Leonidas! Summer Lucas: And there he goes... Oh well. Guess that's a wrap for today. Summer Norwin: I'd say so. I'm exhausted. Outdoor stuff is so not my forte. Summer Ieyasu: It wouldn't do to push ourselves. Shall we disperse and rest? Summer Euden: Uh, sure... Siren: Everyone's falling apart... Is our boy band doomed to fail before their first show? Summer Euden: We need a way out of this mess. Summer Euden: Oh, Leonidas. So this is where you went. Summer Leonidas: Ah. It's just you. Summer Euden: The sunset sure is stunning, isn't it? Summer Leonidas: Indeed. The way it dyes everything in its scarlet hues is remarkable. There is no better time of day to behold the sea. Summer Euden: Hey, Leonidas? Would you consider giving our boy band a second chance? Summer Euden: The way things are now, we're on a fast track to early retirement. Summer Leonidas: I do not understand. What do you hope to accomplish with this? Summer Leonidas: I know you engage in this kind of frivolous nonsense in between battles from time to time. But what is the point of it? Summer Euden: I understand how it looks. But no matter how frivolous it may seem, it's important for me to give everything I do my all. Summer Euden: I believe that in doing so, I can strengthen the bonds I've made with others—and maybe even form new bonds as well. Summer Leonidas: Bonds, you say... Summer Euden: Do you think that's nonsense too? Summer Leonidas: I'm sure that I would have in the past. Summer Leonidas: Now I know all too well that these "bonds" we forge can lead us to a better future. You were the one who taught me that. Summer Leonidas: So there is meaning in this fribble after all. I suppose there's no harm in trying new things. Summer Euden: Leonidas! Does that mean you're back in the band? Summer Leonidas: Indeed. But know that I find half-measures to be anathema. I do hope you're prepared. Summer Leonidas: You there! You're too slow! Summer Norwin: Right! Summer Leonidas: Luca! Mind your posture! Summer Lucas: Roger that! Siren: Y'know, I almost thought we weren't gonna make it! Thank goodness Leonidas decided to come back to us. Siren: He pulled the whole group back together like, uh...like some kind of mega hair tie! They're sooo much better than they were yesterday. I barely even recognize them! Summer Euden: You can say that again. I think we have a fighting chance now. Siren: Speaking of bringing people together! Why don't we figure out who's gonna be the leader of you little stud muffins? Summer Euden: Given his credentials, I'd say Leonidas is probably the best man for the job. Summer Leonidas: I refuse. Summer Euden: Why's that? Summer Leonidas: Because there is someone far more suited for the role than I. Summer Euden: You don't mean... Summer Leonidas: It has to be you, Brother. Does anyone object to that? Summer Ieyasu: Not at all. Summer Norwin: I think he'd be a great fit! Summer Lucas: Sweet! Then that settles it. Euden's gonna be our main man! Summer Euden: Well, if you all think that's best... I accept. I'll give it all I've got! Siren: Hoo to the ray! Now that that's settled, let's get on with our next lesson. Summer Norwin: But we've already done dancing and singing. What else is there? Siren: Weeell, if there's one thing that pop stars are reeeally known for, it's working the crowd! Siren: Listen up, boys, 'cause I'm gonna teach you how to turn those fans into STANS! The Summer Sizzlers: What's a "stan"...? Summer Euden: (Sounds like we've got our work cut out for us...) Episode 3 Love, Personality, and a Twist Summer Mym: Professor Mym presents... Crowd Pleasing 101! Summer Lucas: Uh, was Siren not available, or...? Summer Mym: Rude! There's no one who fantasizes about my beloved darling more than me. Summer Lucas: Cool non-sequitur. How does that make you qualified to teach this, though? Summer Mym: Because clearly, I understand what the fans want more than anyone in the world! Summer Mym: This is a by-the-people, for-the-people kind of lesson. I'm gonna teach you how to work the crowd 'til they're putty in your hands! Summer Lucas: Uh... Summer Leonidas: Don't bother. Nothing she says will make sense. Let's just get started. Summer Mym: Why don't we start by having you show me how you'd do it based on gut intuition? Summer Lucas: O...kay? I don't really— Summer Mym: This is all about FEELING. You're showing the fans just how much you love them! Now go! Summer Lucas: Er... "Hey, everyone! Are ya having fun?!" Summer Mym: Oh, come on! What was that?! Summer Mym: You can't seriously think that ham-fisted attempt is gonna get the crowd going. Summer Mym: Listen up, buster. The best kind of fan engagement requires love, personality, and a fun little twist! Summer Ieyasu: Love, personality, and a twist... Might you elaborate on that? Summer Mym: Gladly! Let's have a demonstration. Hmmm... Leonidas, come on up. Summer Mym: Just do as I say for this example. *whisper* Summer Leonidas: Very well. Summer Mym: All right, the floor is yours! Summer Leonidas: Sink into my vortex of vermilion passion. You need only entrust yourselves to me, body and soul... Are you ready, pets? Summer Ieyasu: I feel I just saw a side of Leonidas we're not intended to be privy too... Summer Norwin: THAT'S what it takes to please a crowd?! Summer Mym: Just so! And I'm gonna pound that into your heads until you REALLY get it, so I hope you're ready for an all-nighter! We fought long and hard… But once we emerged from Mym's hellish gauntlet, we were at last free from the shackles of shame! Summer Mym: Excellent work, everyone. Your final test is a practical one. Summer Mym: Get out there and show those fans the fruits of your labor. Make 'em love you! Summer Euden: After all we've been through, I know we can do it. Let's go, men! The Summer Sizzlers: Yeah! Summer Norwin: I want to give everyone here their happily ever afters. Come, and let us weave the greatest story ever told together! Summer Ieyasu: In this blazing heat, I race headlong to find you from this summer stage. I'll run forever onward until I've captured your heart. Let me set your bosom aflame! Botan: Who is that man and what has he done with Ieyasu?! Summer Lucas: I can feel your love charging the very air! I hope you know it's returned tenfold. You all are the reason I breathe! Chelsea: LUCCY!!! OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD I LOVE LOVE LOVELOVELOVELOVE YOU!!! Summer Leonidas: Hmph. You long for my affection? Then cheer to show me you deserve it. Valkaheim Staff Officer: Prince Leonidas...being affectionate?! Summer Euden: Come join us, everyone! We are... The Summer Sizzlers: The Summer Sizzlers! Summer Mym: You're perfect, darling. Simply perfect! I can't wait for your big debut! Summer Ranzal: ...... Summer Ranzal: What the hell did I just watch? Together: No idea... Siren: It's gonna be one hot, hot summer! Episode 4 My Darling's an Idol In your eyes, what do you think a pop star is? Summer Ieyasu: I would say...it is an entertainer who shines like the summer sun. But isn't the world behind those dazzling performances a harsh one? Summer Ieyasu: Indeed it is. Has it ever gotten to be too much? Summer Lucas: Well, sure. But... I know if we tried to give up, Mym would burn us to a cri— BZZZT. Vetoed! Francesca: Can't you come up with something more sentimental? Like, "We endure thanks to the power of friendship!" or whatever? Francesca: This is going in a pamphlet, you know. If you want this thing to sell, you've gotta make it JUICY. Summer Ieyasu: Ever the businesswoman, this one. Francesca: Darn straight. That's why I got Norwin to do all the illustrations for it! Summer Leonidas: So that's why we haven't seen him around. Francesca: This thing is gonna be so jam-packed with Summer Sizzlers scoops, you have NO idea. Francesca: The general public is starting to talk about you too, y'know. I'm sure your concert is gonna be standing room only! Francesca: And then the merch and these pamphlets will be flyin' off the shelves... Hee hee! Summer Euden: I'm glad everyone's looking forward to it. We'll have to do our best at the show. Francesca: Anyway, let's pick up where we left off. This time, gimme something to work with! Summer Mym: ...... Summer Euden: (Was that...Mym?) Summer Euden: (It's not like her to wander off on her own without telling anyone. I wonder what's wrong.) Summer Mym: *sigh* Summer Euden: Hey, Mym. Summer Mym: Oh, hello, darling. Summer Mym: You sure you can afford to be here? I know pop stars don't have a lot of spare time. Summer Euden: We're done for the day. Summer Euden: You came by during lunch, didn't you? Did you need something from us? Summer Mym: What, do I need a reason to come see you now? Summer Euden: Of course not. I'm sorry I put it like that. Is...something wrong, Mym? Summer Mym: With me, maybe. At first, I wanted you to be a pop star. I really did. Summer Mym: But now... I miss you so much. I feel like you're going somewhere I can't follow. Summer Mym: I know that's hypocritical of me. I just can't turn the feeling off. Summer Euden: Oh, Mym... It's okay. I'm not going anywhere. Summer Mym: You say that, but— Summer Euden: My feelings for you haven't changed. I still cherish you like I always have. How can I make you see that? Summer Mym: Darling... Summer Mym: (Such romantic words. But they're the same he uses with everyone.) Summer Mym: (That part of him hasn't changed at all. He's dense as can be, but he has a bigger heart than anyone I know.) Summer Mym: You're right. I was worried over nothing. Summer Euden: I hate to know you were hurting like this. Is there anything I can do to help? Summer Mym: (He's so charming, it's almost criminal...) Summer Mym: (When he looks at me like that, it makes my sadness melt away. I swear, I'm falling for him all over again.) Summer Mym: There is one thing. Summer Mym: I want you to remember that I was your very first fan! Summer Mym: You're sure to make plenty more after all this, but I was the first one to ever see you for the amazing person you are. Summer Mym: If you can remember that... I'll be okay. Summer Euden: Done. I'll never forget that, even when I'm up on stage. Summer Mym: Then I'm all set. Your concert is coming up soon. Do your best up there, darling! Summer Euden: Of course! I hope we can give everyone some wonderful summer memories. Summer Euden: At the time, I never would have thought something so terrible could happen on the day of our big show... Episode 5 Their Voices Give Us Strength Summer Lucas: Can you feel our burning love for you? Summer Norwin: Let the beat get you even more fired up! Summer Leonidas: I'll make your hearts beat crimson-hot. Now come—sing with me! Ranzal: Move it! Comin' through! I said move, man! Ranzal: Euden! We have an emergency! Summer Euden: Ranzal? What's going on? Ranzal: Imperial soldiers are seconds away! If we don't hurry, the town'll be under attack! Summer Euden: What?! Summer Leonidas: So they ambush us amid a crowd and stir up chaos to lower our morale... Certainly a sound tactic. Summer Norwin: What are we gonna do, Euden? Summer Euden: ...... Spectator 1: What gives? Why'd you hype us all up and go quiet? Spectator 2: Get the show started already! Summer Euden: (Everyone's been looking forward to this concert so much...) Summer Euden: (If we cancel it, it'll mean all the hard work we put in this summer will amount to nothing.) Summer Euden: (But I know what I have to do.) Summer Euden: We need to get everyone to safety. Afterward, we can intercept the enemy. Summer Lucas: I thought you'd say that. ...Even if it is a bummer. Summer Euden: Of course. I may be a pop star, but I'm the leader of this land first. Summer Euden: And right now, I have a more important job than entertaining the masses. Summer Euden: I have to protect their very lives! Now, let's go! Summer Euden: We managed to save the town, but... Summer Ieyasu: The sun has already set. Summer Norwin: They already took down our seaside stage, too. Not my favorite plot twist. I suppose it's curtains for the Summer Sizzlers. Summer Lucas: Aw, maaan... Guess all that hard work was for nothin'. Summer Euden: It may have ended before we wanted it to, but I don't think it was in vain. Summer Euden: All that training put a "spring" in our step we'll never lose. Even if it IS summer. Summer Leonidas: It was a rather vociferous affair, but all things considered, it could've been worse. Summer Norwin: I have to agree with the spring metaphor. It really was a light and breezy time. Summer Ieyasu: I'm a bit ashamed at how indulgent I was with this venture... Summer Lucas: Ha ha! C'mon, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Acting different from your usual self is what Mym meant by performance with a "twist," isn't it? Summer Lucas: Even if we weren't able to put on a show, we still had a blast practicing. That's what matters most. Summer Euden: Hear, hear.  ???: Darling! Summer Mym: You're finally back. I was getting antsy waiting for you! Summer Euden: Oh! Sorry to leave you hanging. Summer Mym: I told you I was your very first fan, didn't I? That means never abandoning you. Summer Mym: And as your fan, I can't let today end like this. Neither can the rest of these folks! Summer Euden: The rest of...? Summer Euden: My goodness! Summer Mym: Your fans await, my love. It's your job as a pop star to send them home with some unforgettable memories! Summer Lucas: That huge crowd waited for us all this time?! Summer Leonidas: Sounds like we're up, Brother. Summer Euden: Yeah! Summer Euden: (As the leader of a country and boy band both, I thought I had to guide everyone by my hand.) Summer Euden: (But it is they who have guided me.) Summer Euden: (With so many people out there cheering for us... We can shine even brighter than ever before!) Summer Euden: The Summer Sizzlers are back... and we'll never part ways again!

Bondforged Prince

Adventurer Stories Episode 1 Borrowed Power Midgardsormr: Dragalia is the bond of trust between dragons and men like you. Midgardsormr: With more men like you, perhaps the wait will not be so long. Midgardsormr: We are all being tested. Can we survive this sundering of our bond and emerge stronger and closer than ever? Euden: ...... Gala Prince: We're going to use the power of our bond to protect everyone, Midgardsormr! Bondforged Prince: Let's go! Haaaah! Midgardsormr: With my primal strength regained, I shall aid the whirlwind you are creating. Luca: Do I need my eyes checked, or are those two REALLY that strong? Ranzal: I'm just gonna grab me a comfy chair and a cold drink and watch the action. Elisanne: Don't be absurd. Even with such power, they could easily be overwhelmed by the flood of enemies we now face. Cleo: In fact, look there! Another comes even as we speak! ???: Heh heh... I see.  ???: Yes, I think tormenting this one will be MOST worthwhile! Heh heh heh... Luca: If this place was any more in the sticks, it'd be a firepit. We absolutely sure there's a demon hanging around out here? Elisanne: The people living in the nearby village have been subjected to the ill effects of a demon's miasma. Elisanne: That means a high possibility one might be lurking in the nearby area. Gala Prince: Huh? Elly, watch out! Iblis: "Lurking"? "LURKING"?! Ugh, what an utterly distasteful choice of words. Iblis: I am not lurking in any way, shape, or form, for the brilliance of my beauty cannot be hidden in the first place! Ranzal: Why does every chump we fight love the sound'a their own voice so damn much? Cleo: If only some of that talking could actually get us somewhere with them.  ???: My, such biting words! Bondforged Prince: Harle…or should I say Loki?! Loki: Well, well! If it isn't the false prince! It HAS been a while, mmm? Bondforged Prince: I thought Harle sealed you in the space between worlds! How are you here?! Loki: Oh, a particularly kind individual happened to be passing by and decided to save me. Loki: A person so considerably and nauseatingly tedious as to make one slit their own throat—though depending on how things go, they might put on a gem of a show. Loki: In fact, the reason I now stand before you is that I'm hoping to make said exhibition all the more enjoyable. Ranzal: If hot air was nickels he'd be a rich man. I dunno what he's up to, but I'm sure it's nothing good. Luca: Right? Let's just lay a beatdown on him and the demon before they cause any trouble! Loki: Such a cocksure comment! I wonder how long you'll be able to maintain that kind of bluster... Loki: Let's put it to the test! Cleo: We're boxed in! Elisanne: The enemy comes! Get ready! Bondforged Prince: With me, Midgardsormr! Haaaah! Midgardsormr: I shall rend them to pieces! Loki: Fine, then! I'll take you on myself! Loki: This new strength you've acquired is quite impressive indeed. Loki: A power of the heart, born out of trust in your comrades. And I suppose your armor is a manifestation of that trust? Loki: Still, it seems to me that power is no more than strength borrowed. Bondforged Prince: What?! Loki: Your trust with your comrades becomes strength... Your mutual bonds with one another are finally put to tangible use... Oh, but it is SUCH a pleasing thought! Loki: However, if I might approach it from a different perspective, is it not a power that relies wholly on your dear comrades? Loki: As such, if you were to find yourself alone, you would be unable to fight as you do. In fact, you'd be essentially useless! Loki: Calling it "faith" or "trust" is a deception pleasing to the ear, but at the end of the day, you're simply using your friends in a slightly more tactful way. Bondforged Prince: You're wrong! The bonds we share aren't nearly so self-serving! Loki: Reeeeeeally now? Bondforged Prince: What's THAT supposed to mean?! Loki: Just what I said! Can you definitively state that something as vague as "bonds" and "trust" are exactly what you claim them to be? Loki: An invisible bond with another is by nature a delicate, terribly fragile thing. Bondforged Prince: That's not... Loki: And I will prove it to you now! Loki: I shall prove that the bonds you speak of are a mere illusion that crumbles to dust at the slightest resistance! Midgardsormr: Hrk! ...Blast! I cannot move! Bondforged Prince: No! Midgardsormr! Midgardsormr: Euden?! Episode 2 Unattainable Hope Gala Prince: Nnngh... Where am I...? People in the Distance: AAAAAAAAAH! Gala Prince: What's that screaming?! Hrk! Gala Prince: Ranzal?! Luca: Euden... Gala Prince: Luca?! You're wounded! I'll get you treated! Luca: C-can't go on... Forget me... Go to them... Gala Prince: Luca?! LUCA! Gala Prince: Cleo! Elisanne! I'm coming! Gala Prince: What's wrong?! My body won't... Cleo: Your Highness! Gala Prince: No, stop! STOP! Elisanne: Your Highness... Why...? Cleo: Why...didn't you save us...? Gala Prince: But I... Midgardsormr: These things happened because you rely on the strength of others. Midgardsormr: You let your companions die. With them and their bonds gone, you are powerless. Gala Prince: ?! Gala Prince: Just a dream... Gala Prince: (Loki's attack made me fall off the cliff. I need to hurry and join back up with everyone else.) Midgardsormr: You let your companions die. With them and their bonds gone, you are powerless. Gala Prince: No! I won't let my friends die! I'll protect them no matter what! Gala Prince: (I can't find a trace of anyone else. What happened in the fight with Loki? I sure hope they're all right...) Cleo: Why...didn't you save us...? Gala Prince: (No. That was just a dream. They'd never be defeated so easily.) Gala Prince: (I need to sort this out. Better follow their trail as I head back to the Halidom.) Gala Prince: It's getting dark, and I'm still about half a day from the Halidom. Probably best to bed down for the night here. Gala Prince: Come to think of it, isn't there a village right around here? Woman: EEEEEEK! Gala Prince: Haaaaah! Elderly Villager: You! You're... Gala Prince: We have to get somewhere safe! What's the best location around here?! Male Villager: Um...I don't... Villager Girl: The lakeshore to the south is the high ground and should be safe enough! Gala Prince: Take the townsfolk there. I'll draw the fiends away so you can escape. Elderly Villager: Right. Come on, everyone! Gala Prince: You will go no further, fiends! I call upon the strength of my bonds! Gala Prince: Gya! My new powers aren't working! Gala Prince: I don't have the luxury of thinking about why right now—I have to focus on the enemies in front of me. Gala Prince: Gya! There's too many! Gala Prince: (If only I had just one friend with me...) Gala Prince: ...No. This is no time for a faint heart. I WILL protect everyone! Villager Girl: It's been a long time. Do you think that man from earlier is okay? Elderly Villager: I know not, but as we lack the strength to fight, all we can do is pray and wait. Male Villager: Wait, I see someone coming... It must be him! Gala Prince: *pant* *pant* It took longer than I thought to defeat all those enemies. I need to hurry to the villagers. Gala Prince: Fiends?! No! How?! Villager Girl: Urrrgh... Gala Prince: Hold on! I'm going to help you! Villager Girl: Everyone...is already... Gala Prince: But I thought this place was safe! Villager Girl: We all saw someone approaching... Called out to it because we thought it was you, but...just another fiend... Gala Prince: Don't talk. I'm going to try and heal you. Villager Girl: C-can't feel anything... Don't think...I have long... Gala Prince: Don't give up! I'm going to save you! Villager Girl: Th-thank you...for trying... Gala Prince: ! Gala Prince: (They all died... Dammit! If only my friends had been here! If only I could have used my bondforged power!) Loki: As such, if you were to find yourself alone, you would be unable to fight as you do. In fact, you'd be essentially useless! Gala Prince: (I can't save anyone with my strength alone...) Gala Prince: But I won't let a tragedy like this happen ever again. I have to hurry back home! Episode 3 Lost Connections Gala Prince: I managed to make it back to the Halidom. Gala Prince: ...And it's under attack by fiends?! No! Gala Prince: I have to help everyone! Villager Girl: Th-thank you...for trying... Gala Prince: I'm not going to let anything like that happen ever again! Gala Prince: Hello?! HELLOOOO?! Where IS everyone?! Gala Prince: Out of the way! Haaaah! Gala Prince: There's none here but fiends... What the hell is going on?! Gala Prince: GYAAAAAH! Gala Prince: No... It can't be... Gala Prince: Midgardsormr?! Gala Prince: Have you been corrupted by black mana, Midgardsormr?! You have to stop this! Gala Prince: Gyaaaaa! Midgardsormr: You let your companions die. With them and their bonds gone, you are powerless. Gala Prince: (This is just like what I saw in the dream. Does it mean the reason I can't summon my armor is because everyone else is already...?) Gala Prince: Gaaah! Midgard...sormr... Gala Prince: (Even if everyone IS already gone, that's all the more reason for me...) Gala Prince: I'm going to save you at least, Midgardsormr! I swear! Gala Prince: *pant* *pant* Wake up, Midgardsormr! Come on! Gala Prince: You're the first dragon I ever swore a pact with! We fought together through everything, and I trust you the most! Gala Prince: Your winds are so much more than this, so blast away all of that black mana! Answer my call, Midgardsormr! Midgardsormr: ! Midgardsormr: Euden... Gala Prince: Midgardsormr! Are you back?! Midgardsormr: Yes, and I have you to thank for it. But I fear I have committed acts that cannot be undone. Midgardsormr: Our comrades in the Halidom... I... Gala Prince: I also don't know how to react to what's happening here. Gala Prince: But you're here with me and back to normal, and that is a HUGE relief. Midgardsormr: Ah, Euden... Gala Prince: Midgardsormr?! Iblis: Oh, but you are all SO irritating! Gala Prince: Wait, you're...! Iblis: I can't believe you're still alive, though I suppose I have to begrudgingly appreciate that kind of tenacity. Iblis: But ultimately, you're an intolerable, unbearable eyesore. Iblis: When I see you people making nice and believing something as suspect as "bonds," it makes the gorge rise in my throat— and I have had ENOUGH! Iblis: I've had enough of watching weaklings who can do nothing on their own go on and on and ooooon about the bonds they share with their besty-westy friends! Midgardsormr: Only arrogance makes you believe that people or dragons can live on their own. Iblis: I find such pathetic thoughts repugnant, for being unable to live on one's own inevitably means presuming upon and taking advantage of others. Iblis: Why are you, a dragon, so keen to play toady to the inferior humans who only hold you back? Midgardsormr: No... You speak false... Iblis: Just LOOK to yourself! You can't even fly, and it's all because you insist on protecting these pathetic creatures! Iblis: The bonds you speak of are naught but affectation. Comrades? Trust? What are any of these things? You are a weakling twittering away in a voice most foul. Iblis: Well, if it cannot be helped, I will simply teach you that a power which requires friends to lean on is no power at all! Gala Prince: Stop! Gala Prince: MIDGARDSORMR! Midgardsormr: Euden... Iblis: Are your eyes opened now? Without your precious friends, your bonds are lost too. You have nothing left from which you might draw strength. Iblis: In the end, the "power of your bonds" is USELESS! Aaaaah ha ha ha ha! Episode 4 Lingering Wind Gala Prince: MIDGARDSORMR! Midgardsormr: Euden... Gala Prince: No! Your body is disappearing! Midgardsormr: I am filled with pride to have had the honor of being your pactwyrm. And that is why... Gala Prince: No! My bond with you is all I have left! Please, you have to stay! Please! Midgardsormr: Know this, Euden: though my body may fade, the bond we share will never... Gala Prince: No... NO! This isn't happening! Iblis: Well? Still feeling like spouting off some tepid nonsense about bonds or whatnot? Gala Prince: ...... Iblis: Hmph. You're broken. I need not sully myself by fighting you any longer. Iblis: You will be devoured by this fiend— a fitting end for a wretched weakling who clings to an illusion like bonds while depending upon others! Gala Prince: Hrk... Gala Prince: (I have nothing left... I'm...powerless.) Gala Prince: (No more... Just let it end...) ???: ...... Gala Prince: (Is this...wind?) Midgardsormr: Euden... Gala Prince: (He was always with me, and this wind serves as his final gift...) Midgardsormr: You must fight, Euden. You are not a weakling unable to do anything alone—you are our hope. Gala Prince: (But you're gone now, Midgardsormr... ALL of my bonds are all gone.) Midgardsormr: No. Your bonds remain. Midgardsormr: I have watched you overcome countless hardships alongside your friends, which is how I can say this with confidence. Midgardsormr: Our bonds are not merely for show. And no matter what fate I may face in the future to come... Midgardsormr: The bond we share will never die! Bondforged Prince: Is this the power of our bonds...? Bondforged Prince: If so, it means the reason I haven't been able to access my armor is... Iblis: You came BACK from that?! HOW?! Bondforged Prince: HAAAAAAH! Bondforged Prince: This...is the power...of our BONDS! Iblis: Oh, burn me in hellfire... AGAIN with this?! Your friends are DEAD! They're GONE! There are no bonds left for you to draw any power FROM! Bondforged Prince: Wrong. Our bonds will always be inside me, even if they are gone! Iblis: WAAAARGH! This is RIDICULOUS! It doesn't make ANY sense! What a terrible, ugly idea! Bondforged Prince: ...... Bondforged Prince: Oh, just come out already, Loki. Loki: Heh heh heh... Loki: I leave for but a moment and come back to find you with quite the look of determination on your face. Bondforged Prince: I knew you were watching. Loki: I must say, losing all your friends and still redoubling your resolve to keep fighting is a most unexpected outcome. Loki: It seems I'll need to create an even ghastlier situation for you. Bondforged Prince: ...... Loki: Come then, false prince! I shall permit you to sup upon ever-deeper despair! Episode 5 Unbreakable Bonds Loki: It seems I'll need to create an even ghastlier situation for you. Bondforged Prince: ...... Loki: Come then, false prince! I shall permit you to sup upon ever-deeper despair! Bondforged Prince: It's useless, Loki. Loki: Useless, you say? Bondforged Prince: I understand everything now, so no matter what you try to do to me, my heart will remain unshakable. Bondforged Prince: Let me spell it out for you: we're in a false world of your creation, right? Loki: And what makes you say that? Bondforged Prince: Because it's filled with inconsistencies and unnatural things. The whole place smells of your intent to make me feel alone. Bondforged Prince: And I bet the dream where all my friends died was also your doing. Bondforged Prince: That dream made me think—wrongly— that I had lost my friends, which is why couldn't summon my armor. Bondforged Prince: In fact, until I was able to use it here, I didn't realize this was a fake world. Bondforged Prince: But thanks to the bond I formed with this world's Midgardsormr, I finally realized why I hadn't been able to use my powers. Bondforged Prince: The reason I couldn't summon my armor wasn't because I'd lost my bonds with my friends—it's because I never forged any here in the first place! Bondforged Prince: In other words, this world wasn't the one in which I had cultivated my relationships with my friends. Loki: You've some rather keen insight, but what of it? Loki: You know the nature of your predicament, but it does not change the fact that you are alone here in this world. Loki: Making one new bond with the Windwyrm here does not improve your situation! Loki: What?! Your power is...growing?! Bondforged Prince: It's you who doesn't understand, Loki. I'm NOT alone. Bondforged Prince: I know now that my bonds are within me—and not just the one I made with this world's Midgardsormr! Loki: This cannot be! Bondforged Prince: And through those bonds, I can hear my friends and feel their trust in me! Bondforged Prince: Being a world apart will never sever our bonds! HAAAAH! Everyone: Look! It's Euden! Midgardsormr: So you have returned. Bondforged Prince: Hope you all weren't too worried. Ranzal: Worried? The whole lot of us was runnin' around like a buncha headless chickens when ya up and vanished like ya did! Elisanne: Midgardsormr bade us keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Bondforged Prince: And you all did...? Midgardsormr: Watching from your side, I knew you had been sent to a world of Loki's design. Midgardsormr: At the same time, I knew our bond still linked us across the worlds. Cleo: Midgardsormr was sure you would follow our bonds and find your way back to us. Luca: We believed you'd come back, and you totally DID! Bondforged Prince: When I realized the bonds I held with all of you were still inside me, I heard your voices calling out. Bondforged Prince: I was able to come back to this world because you all believed in the bonds that we share! Loki: Hmm... It appears I may have ever so slightly under-credited you people. Loki: I offer you my sincere compliments on your safe return from my false world. Cleo: A single mealy-mouthed compliment does not mean we are simply going to bid you farewell and let you go. Elisanne: Indeed, your cruelty toward His Highness cannot go unanswered. Luca: I dunno what the deal with that fake world was, but it's clearly bad news! Ranzal: Yep. Hurt the boss and yer gonna pay! Bondforged Prince: Thank you, everyone! Loki: Yes, I rather expected you people would say something like that. Midgardsormr: Are you ready, Euden? Bondforged Prince: I sure am. Let's do this! Loki: What of the world I put together for you, false prince? Loki: I think it may have impressed upon you how vague and uncertain the bonds you believe in are, did it not? Bondforged Prince: But the power of bonds isn't mine alone; if it were, it might well be the kind of borrowed strength you claim it to be. Bondforged Prince: But this power ISN'T vague or uncertain! Even if I can't see it, it still lives inside me! Loki: Gya! Loki: It is quite commendable of you to have forged a new bond in a false world designed entirely to work against you. HOWEVER... Luca: What?! He's...! Bondforged Prince: Aaaaah! Everyone: No, Euden! Loki: Such a power reveals its fragility when those in whom you place trust are gone. Loki: Do you really think you can overcome the war to come with a power like THAT?! Elisanne: B-blast! I can't avoid it! Bondforged Prince: Not going to happen, Loki! No matter what occurs in the future. I'm going to protect my friends and fight at their sides! Bondforged Prince: See, the Midgardsormr in your little world managed to teach me something... Midgardsormr: You must fight, Euden. You are not a weakling unable to do anything alone—you are our hope. Midgardsormr: Our bonds are not merely for show. And no matter what fate I may face in the future to come... Bondforged Prince: The bonds I have forged will NEVER die! They are the hope we made for ourselves, and the possibility to make our own future! Loki: Th-this power... Elisanne & Cleo: Your Highness! Ranzal & Luca: Give 'em hell, Euden! Midgardsormr Zero: Go, Euden! Bondforged Prince: HAAAAAAAAH! Loki: AAAAAAAAARGH! Gala Prince: *pant* *pant* Did I get him...? Loki: Heh heh... So this is the true power of these bonds... Loki: They are things that can stave off death and despair, even from across worlds. Loki: This should make your battle against the Progenitor interesting indeed... Gala Prince: Loki... Ranzal: Looks like it's over. Cleo: Did we truly defeat Loki? Gala Prince: I think so, yeah. Luca: That's great and all, but what the heck was that guy even trying to do? Ranzal: Huh? Whatcha mean? Luca: I mean, he was really fixated on hassling Euden, so he must've had some reason for it. Elisanne: I suppose Loki's actions could be construed as a kind of test. Ranzal: Like, a test of the boss's new power? But what's the point'a that? Elisanne: I cannot say. Cleo: Perhaps he simply wanted to meddle with us and delight in our reactions. Luca: Yeah, that's definitely on point for him... Elisanne: Come now, Luca! You are the one who said he had some manner of objective! Gala Prince: Easy, everybody. Gala Prince: I don't know what Loki's motives are, but what ultimately happened today is that I now have a deeper understanding of my new power. Luca: Now THAT'S how you turn a frown upside-down! Gala Prince: Yep! And as a result, I feel my bonds with you all even more keenly, and a part of me feels...I don't know. Clearer, I guess. Ranzal: So that's a good thing then, yeah? I mean, whatever that Loki cat was up to, the bunch of us are stronger'n steel! Cleo: Indeed. No matter what anyone plots, we will continue to believe in our bonds with the prince. Gala Prince: You're all so wonderful... Midgardsormr Zero: The bonds you have fostered over all of your journeys will never disappear. Midgardsormr Zero: Even if you are plunged into despair and lose your way, so long as you have their power, we will be able to rise up and recover, again and again. Midgardsormr Zero: The bond between dragon and person— Dragalia—is ever within you, Prince. You are our shining hope. Gala Prince: Thank you, Midgardsormr. Bondforged Prince: With the power of my bonds in my heart, I swear to claim a future of possibility for everyone—so long as I have all of my friends at my side! Bondforged Prince: Now let's get out there and save the world!
