"Terror is fierce, overwhelming fear." "Ye accursed of the earth, you will be rent asunder by the poison fangs of the night, and dawn will not come for you." "Ye soul ravaged by heat, the spirit of the light will never again favor you with her seductive smile." "Hear me, ye accursed of the earth." "Your world will never rouse from its slumber, and through deterioration and destruction be lured to a darkness that knows no night." "A prophecy of destruction?" "This night is a full moon." "Call the royal guard!" "At once!" "I'm sorry, were you waiting long?" "Let's go." "Just keep walking naturally." "Who are you?" "I worked in the same lab as the Doctor." "Where have you been all this time?" "I haven't been able to track you people down no matter how hard I looked, and the very existence of the lab itself has been erased." "It was shut down by intelligence bureau agents who report directly to the House of Lords." "But why?" "Cheza... was stolen by someone." "What about Cher?" "!" "The Doctor went with the search team." "I'm sorry." "I don't know where they went, but..." "I'm sure she's all right." "Why are you..." "Because she talked about you all the time." "I hope you find her." "Thank you." "I think you should just leave it at that, Detective Lebowski." "Oops." "I suppose I should call you this, instead." "Suspect Lebowski..." "The House of Lords has issued a warrant for your arrest." "Please come with me." "Y-You!" "You're Jaguara's..." "What a seedy-looking town..." "It's my kind of place." "I'll bet." "I smell danger." "My blood's boiling." "Mine, too!" "Mine, too!" "Big talk for somebody who's scared all the time!" "That's not the only reason for your blood to be boiling, right?" "For one thing, tonight's..." "Yeah." "A full moon." "I know it's like that for us 'cause we get our strength from the full moon, but it's almost like Cheza is glowing, too." "Yeah..." ""Once a year on the night of a full moon,"" ""flowers will be called by the moon and return to Paradise."" "That's a legend I heard once." "So you're saying that tonight, she'll..." "I don't know if it'll be tonight, though." "What?" "What's gonna happen?" "You're not saying that Cheza's gonna bloom or anything, are you?" "This one is excited, too!" "What were you thinking, carrying around a banned book like this?" "You say you're looking for a woman who divorced you." "But no such woman ever existed in this city, Lebowski." "There are no records anywhere that show you were ever married." "Lebowski..." "It's thanks to Lord Orkham that we're able to eke out a living the way we do." "What happened to you?" "Wasn't it your policy to do everything you could to avoid getting involved in trouble?" "Something's changed." "Either me..." "Or the world." "What?" "Once you've become a liability, you're abandoned in the end, just like I've been." "What does licking the boots of the Nobles your whole life get you?" ""Lord" or no, Orkham is just a cowardly old man." "Did being outwitted by that fallen Noble really upset him that badly?" "If you mean Darcia, he was shot down a long time ago!" "Darcia?" "But you haven't found them yet." "Not Darcia..." "Or Cheza." "The aerial city is Darcia's old haunt!" "And he's got accomplices, too." "But it's only a matter of time before we find them!" "Thanks for clearing that up..." "Mind if I ask you one more thing?" "W-What?" "This Darcia..." "Which Darcia do you mean?" "Don't play dumb!" "The Darcia in here, and you know it!" "Oh..." "Yes?" "Yeah." "What?" "!" "Combat units?" "What do you mean?" "An invasion?" "!" "Lord Orkham is what?" "!" "Hubb!" "Are you all right?" "It's not your fault." "Still, how did this happen?" "I guess I was beguiled." "By wolves, you mean?" "What the hell is going on?" "Sorry about that." "Lord Orkham's been shot?" "!" "Are you all right?" "What happened?" "I don't know." "He collapsed all of a sudden." "Look, I'm sorry, but could you see to him?" "What is it?" "!" "What's happened?" "Report!" "Lord Orkham, he's..." "He's been assassinated." "Combat units flying Lady Jaguara's flag have taken control of the keep." "Reports say that our remaining forces are still engaging them in the surrounding city." "Orders, sir?" "Order all squads to withdraw!" "We've got more important things to do right now than look for some flower girl!" "We will attack Jaguara." "But sir, what about our missing person search?" "You can tell from looking at this place what fate awaits a land that loses its Noble master, can't you?" "Understood, sir!" "Magnificent..." "If I had this device, I'd be able to communicate directly with her mind..." "Just as it was written in the Book of the Moon..." "It would seem that I gave you too much freedom." "The time for dalliance is over." "You have soothed me enough." "I must go retrieve Cheza." "You know where she is?" "I am able to sense Cheza." "Tonight will see a full moon." "This is finally it." "Yeah, right now, I feel like I could do anything." "Just because we have Cheza with us, this full moon seems totally different, huh?" "I wanna howl my head off!" "Something is about to happen." "The Book of the Moon..." "For my clan, that was where it all began." "The research of my grandfather that is recorded in its pages was the accumulation of the very best alchemy of the day." "And every last bit of it was meant to be a means of reaching Paradise." "My grandfather disappeared." "While en route to Paradise." "What exactly is Paradise?" "A world where wolves reign supreme." "Paradise will lift my curse, and that of the woman I love." "My beloved Hamona was ravaged by what is called Paradise Sickness." "She lives, but her soul has been stolen by Paradise." "Her skin has lost the warmth that yours possesses." "Are you sure you should be revealing all of your secrets to me?" "You may await me here." "Until I return with Cheza." "Lord Darcia, Lord Orkham's keep has fallen." "So, Jaguara has made her move as I expected?" "It would seem so." "The time is now ripe." "The road to Paradise!" "Is that what this is?" "Amazing!" "This is amazing!" "Wolves..." "It has been quite some time." "That scent..." "A Noble?" "What are you doing here?" "Was your dream a pleasant one?" "The one where you were going to Paradise." "What?" "The time has not yet come for that." "Return to me, Cheza." "Get out of our way!" "It's futile." "Toboe!" "Wolf's blood..." "Magnificent." "Kiba..." "That is enough." "Don't go!" "D-Don't!" "It is all right." "Don't go, Cheza..." "We're wolves." "We're not afraid to die." "This one knows that." "But this one has made up its mind." "It is all right." "Kiba..." "This one knows it will protect you." "Cheza..." "Cheza..." "Darcia's aerial city, huh?" "Vanishing Point" "Next Time" "Next Time Hello, there." "Lebowski here." "Hello, there." "Lebowski here." "Personal circumstances have forced me to resign from my job." "Spring has sprung!" "I'm setting out on a journey." "I'm sure that pleasant encounters await me."
