"So is everybody this lonely when they're in love?" "They embrace a pain that's deeper than the shadows?" "It's all to make us shine, I just know it..." "I love you, I love you," "I gaze at you with my heart..." "I believe in you, I believe in you, even on the coldest of nights." "I call out to you with my tears, but I don't need any promises..." "That's the precious strength you've given to me." "Did it go well?" "Yes." "All our training was completed successfully." "I see." "Good girls." "What of the Sorcerers who accompanied us here?" "They've come to take Dilandau back with them." "The Sorcerers hate me." "I'm not sure why." "They're jealous of you, Lord Folken." "I hate the Sorcerers..." "No, you mustn't say such things about the Sorcerers." "Originally, I was a Sorcerer, as well." "Forgive us!" "Lord Folken, we missed you..." "Thinking of the day we would see you again was what sustained us." "I'm sorry, you two." "Lend me your strength." "We understand." "Our bodies and our souls are yours, Lord Folken." "That was tough!" "It took a while to figure out that it's written in the language of the Mystic Moon!" "The Mystic Moon?" "Young master!" "Enough is enough!" "Zaibach has their eye on you!" "Nothing good will come of this!" "Go home." "I've decided to go to the Mystic Valley." "Take this ship back to Palas." "W-what?" "!" "How will I explain it to the master when I return without you or any cargo?" "!" "I'll write him a note." "If I tell him I'm with Princess Millerna, it'll be okay." "Dryden!" "I..." "You're coming." "Allen is, after all..." "Why should I go?" "Because you have to!" "Your father threw away his home, his fortune, and his family to find the Mystic Valley." "It's a famous story in Asturia." "Heck, even I know it." "Allen's father?" "I want to go, too." "The Mystic Valley is the homeland of the Draconians." "I want to see the source of the blood that flows in my veins." "And the bond between that land and Escaflowne." "Well, damn..." "Is it just fate that's brought together all these people who are tied together by the Mystic Valley?" "Year of the Crystal Northeast." "Green, 12th moon." "I am bound for the dark continent of Asgard, upon which no man has set foot." "Yes, I am certain that the Mystic Valley lies there." "There I am sure I will find that for which I have searched these long years." "The power that works miracles." "The power of Atlantis." "Boss, the helm's not responding!" "We'll never be able to make it through a storm like this!" "Bad news, Captain!" "The energist ain't cooling down!" "Damn it!" "It's the Draconians' curse!" "Man was never meant to come into these waters!" "Okay, you bums!" "Turn us around!" "Yessir!" "That's not what we agreed." "Stay on this course." "I paid you what you asked for." "The ship won't hold together, you fool!" "Even you have to know that!" "You sold me your lives." "I wonder how many days passed..." "In that hazy state of mind, that girl's voice... her face... returned to me." "And then..." "Asgard appeared before me." "The gods guided me." "This is my destiny." "Destiny?" "A cruel twist of fate brought about that meeting in my youth, as well as our sudden separation." "I have come here to ascertain my feelings for the girl who is etched so deeply in my mind." "Everything is in the Mystic Valley." "Everything I am searching for." "You must be joking!" "He abandoned his home and his family to find some woman?" "!" "Pathetic." "Sounds like an interesting guy." "What?" "He a lot better than my old man, who only knows how to count money." "I like the way he lived his life." "Allen..." "There's still no sign of her?" "No." "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." "Don't worry." "I still dream about her." "I'm standing at the station on my way to school, waiting for her like I always do, and Hitomi comes running up to me and says "Good morning."" "But then I always wake up." "Uchida..." "I dream about Hitomi, too." "She's fine." "It may be hard for her sometimes, but I know she'll pull through." "Can't see a damn thing out there..." "Nothin' but ocean as far as the eye can see." "Sarge!" "Keep going straight ahead." "Dryden said this is the right course." "Can we trust that guy?" "The Commander said to do it, so we're doing it!" "Pyle!" "How's it coming down there?" "It'll take a while longer." "It's gonna take some time to install the control chamber parts we took from Dryden's Guymelefs." "Damn it, this screw doesn't fit!" "Hey, don't break it!" "I know, I know!" "Blue, 16th moon." "Driven snow and jagged rocks block my path, as if to test those who challenge the mystery." "But there I met an old man." "There was one other who believed in the existence of the Mystic Valley and was in search of it." "When I asked him his name, the old man answered, "Isaac."" "I've never told this to anyone, but maybe it's best that I told you two." "There's a story that my mother told me when I was little." "She was just about Hitomi's age." "She says that on her way home from a summer festival, she was bathed in light, and she found herself in an unfamiliar land." "What Isaac has told me was most interesting." "He, too, was looking for the Mystic Valley, in search of the mystery of Atlantis." "Even more surprising was Isaac's claim that he comes from the Mystic Moon, just like that girl!" "The Mystic Moon?" "just like you." "Is that..." "Hitomi?" "My mother." "That's..." "That's Allen's father." "That's...!" "That girl...!" "That girl..." "She's..." "I can't believe it." "You're from the Mystic Moon..." "I left on this journey to leave all of my ties behind." "But when I look at you... at your eyes I think that maybe it was all in vain." "You'll forgive me, won't you?" "Hitomi." "Hitomi?" "Grandma!" "General Adelphos, we have come to ask your permission to take back Dilandau." "A Sorcerer asking for permission?" "He may be under my command, but you Sorcerers were the ones who sent him to me in the first place." "May I ask why?" "We've received word from Strategos Folken that he is ill." "That monster is sick?" "Will wonders never cease." "Once he has recovered, we will return him to you." "He's become unstable." "What is the cause?" "The fate alteration experiment wasn't completely successful." "We will keep this from Folken." "Very well." "Shesta!" "Gatty!" "Dallet!" "Where are you?" "!" "He'll be in danger if this keeps up." "Don't leave me alone!" "He'll be in danger if this keeps up." "Put him to sleep." "Once we return to the homeland, we will perform another fate alteration." "Asgard?" "They are heading for the Mystic Valley." "The Mystic Valley?" "The one of legend?" "Yes." "The homeland of the people of Atlantis, the Draconians." "So they found it..." "White, 3rd moon." "Isaac and I have come upon a moor shrouded in thick fog." "The Mystic Valley must be just beyond this place." "But Isaac disappeared, I know not when." "Were we separated by this thick fog?" "Or could it have been..." "No." "I should just focus on reaching the Mystic Valley." "If I can reach the Mystic Valley, I will solve the mystery of Atlantis!" "If I do, I'm sure I will be able to see that girl again." "If I could only see her, I..." "I've heard enough of this!" "Allen!" "Running away?" "It's interesting that this could get a rise out of a Knight Caeli." "You know, I don't think we're going to be friends." "That's good to hear!" "I'm not interested in being your friend." "Dryden!" "That was cruel!" "Hitomi!" "Looks like another babe hates me." "Allen..." "Hitomi?" "Yes." "I'm sorry you had to see that." "That's okay." "I..." "I'll never be able to forgive him." "I'll never forgive my father." "Not a man who abandoned his family." "I don't believe that." "You kept your father's journal, right?" "You could have thrown it away, but you didn't." "I think, somewhere deep down, you wanted to know about your father." "You're a kind person." "I don't think you'd be able to hate someone that much." "If you were really that cold inside," "I don't think I... or any of us... would like you." "You want to forgive him, don't you?" "Perhaps I was scared." "Scared of finding out that he really did abandon us." "Perhaps, deep down, I didn't want to accept that." "Allen..." "You'll forgive me, won't you, Hitomi?" "Once we make it through this, we'll almost be there." "I'm going up to take a look." "You stay here, Merle." "Lord Van..." "What the hell?" "There's even levistones flying around out there!" "Reeden!" "Keep your eyes peeled!" "If we crash into one of those, we're dead!" "Yessir!" "I'm sorry." "There you are!" "We should be there soon." "Let's go to the pilothouse." "Levistone ahead!" "Hard to port!" "Aye!" "Hang in there!" "It shouldn't be much farther!" "Y-Yessir!" "There's a clear patch!" "The Mystic Valley is just ahead." "This is the Mystic Valley?" "There's nothing down there..." "What?" "That's impossible..." "What's wrong?" "A page has been torn out!" "Sarge!" "It's a Zaibach floating fortress!" "What?" "!" "Asturian skiff spotted!" "Good." "Naria." "Eriya." "Do you read me?" "Yes, Lord Folken." "We're ready to go at any time." "We'll bring back your brother." "I'm counting on you." "Let's do it, Eriya." "I know, Sister." " No doubt about it." " That's them, all right." "Damn!" "They got above us!" "Are they trying to force us down?" "Pyle!" "How's the Scherazade coming?" "!" "Not even close!" "We're not even half done yet!" "Hitomi..." "If you wish hard enough, your wishes will come true." "I want you to have this, Hitomi." "Grandma..." "Show us the Mystic Valley." "Please show it to us..." "Please, Grandma..." "Not after coming this far..." "I want to see the Mystic Valley, damn it!" "Mother, what is it that you want me to do?" "I can't die here!" "I'll settle things with you once and for all in the Mystic Valley, Father!" "Van, what is it that you want to see in the Mystic Valley?" "It can't be..." "The Gate of Atlantis is opening!" "Blue search lights meet beyond the moon..." "Yeah, my angel who came flying down, who are you?" "The doors of destiny are opening before us, so let's just fall in love" "I can't break free of this moment that's making my heart flutter..." "Don't stop baby!"
