Amane, Child of Miracles
Ranzal: Got a minute, Eduen?
Euden: What is it?
Ranzal: Well, it's... Look, just c'mere. It's easier to show ya.
Euden: What's gotten into him...?
Cleo: As I have said already, I cannot allow you to enter the castle.
Amane: Why? Why are you sheltering dragons?!
Amane: You court disaster! Those abominations ought to be eradicated!
Cleo: Nothing you say will change my mind!
Euden: What's going on, Cleo? Who is this girl?
Cleo: Ah, Eduen.
Cleo: She keeps insisting we let her see the Windwyrm.
Amane: You're Eduen, yes? The one pactbound with dragons?
Amane: My name is Amane!
Amane: I am the child of miracles, and I seek a world free from the terror of dragons!
Cleo: I have heard of her.
Cleo: She hails from a small nation that wishes to wipe all dragons from existence.
Cleo: If I recall correctly, a dragon attacked her home when she was young, leaving her as the sole survivor.
Euden: Is that why they call her the child of miracles? That's quite a burden to bear at such a young age.
Amane: Do not treat me as a child!
Amane: I am 24 years old, and a woman grown!
Euden: What?! Y-you are? Um...I'm...sorry?
Amane: You should be!
Amane: Now, back to the matter at hand. Which was... Ah! Right!
Amane: Dragons are terrible creatures that bring death and destruction wherever they go.
Amane: Which is why, once I heard this castle harbored dragons, I decided to journey here and learn their weakness!
Ranzal: Oh, yeah? Well, why didn't ya say so?
Ranzal: Just wait right here—I'll go grab the red carpet. We roll it out every time someone comes 'round threatenin' to kill our allies.
Amane: Such lackluster sarcasm will not deter me!
Amane: I can see you have thrown your lot in with the dragons after all.
Amane: I will sit right here and wait until I am allowed entry, no matter how long it takes!
Cleo: Brave words, but are you sure you're prepared to follow through?
Cleo: I advise you return home before trouble befalls you.
Amane: All I care about is learning the dragons' weakness!
Amane: I will be fine! ...Probably!
Cleo: *sigh* What a nuisance... What say you, Eduen?
Euden: ...All right. If you're that determined, you can come inside.
Ranzal: H-hey, hold on! Ya can't be serious!
Ranzal: If she does anything to Midgardsormr—
Euden: Some dragons are as terrible as she says.
Euden: But Midgardsormr is not one of them.
Euden: Perhaps she'll learn that there are decent dragons, too, given the chance to meet one herself.
Euden: And as far as I can tell, she seems like a very straightforward person.
Euden: I have a feeling things will work themselves out once they talk.
Cleo: I wish I could share your confidence.
Cleo: But I will respect your decision.
Euden: All right, Amane. Come in and let me give you a tour of the castle.
Amane: At last!
Amane: This is the first step to ridding this world of dragons!
Amane's Wishes
Amane: A-ha! There you two are!
Amane: You cannot avoid me forever!
Amane: Now, out with it! Tell me the dragons' weakness!
Euden: Nothing has changed since we talked about all of this yesterday, Amane. We don't know their weakness.
Amane: Just tell me something! Anything!
Amane: Anything to help me destroy them!
Ranzal: Y-ya know what? I just remembered that Cleo asked me to help with somethin'.
Ranzal: Gotta run!
Euden: Ranzal! *sigh* There's no way Cleo would ever ask him for help.
Amane: Tell me, Eduen!
Euden: Here's an idea, Amane...
Euden: Maybe instead of destroying the dragons, you could learn more about each oth—
Amane: This again?
Amane: I am sick of hearing such a ridiculous proposition!
Amane: Perhaps I must change my approach.
Amane: If you refuse to tell me anything, then I will go ask Cleo!
Euden: Uh, I wouldn't bother her while she's cooking if I were... *sigh* And she's gone.
Amane: *siiigh*
Euden: You wandered all over the castle again today, didn't you?
Amane: And with nothing to show for it!
Amane: I was so certain I would find something here to help me rid this world of dragons.
Euden: Can I ask you something? Are you doing this because you're the ＂child of miracles＂?
Euden: Or is it because you want revenge on the dragon that destroyed your home?
Amane: Are you asking if I do this out of hatred? That may be part of it, but it is not that simple, either.
Amane: My country is full of people like me. People who lost everything to dragons.
Amane: Our lovers, our parents, our children...
Amane: My country is one of survivors.
Euden: ......
Amane: We do not wish for anyone else to experience the horrors we have endured.
Euden: Then it isn't hatred that drives you to destroy the dragons, but compassion.
Amane: Yes. Though as you can see, I've had no results. But I will not give up!
Amane: If one person does not have the answer, then I will ask 10! If those 10 do not know, I will ask one hundred!
Amane: I will not stop until I find what I seek!
Amane: Now, I must continue the search!
Amane: Ranzal is surely done helping Cleo by now!
Ranzal: Oh, Amane...
Ranzal: Sorry, I've, uh, got some things to get in order for breakfast tomorrow—
Amane: You always have something you have to take care of!
Amane: Just sit right there. You and I are going to have a nice long chat!
Euden: She clearly won't be dissuaded.
Euden: What are we going to do...?
The Windwyrm's Game
Amane: Yes! That's it!
Amane: Why did I not think of this sooner?!
Euden: Think of what?
Amane: If I want to know what a dragon's weakness is, I should just ask the dragon!
Euden: I'm not sure that's such a great idea.
Cleo: I highly doubt he would tell you his own weakness.
Ranzal: Yeah, he's more likely to send ya flyin' than give ya any answers.
Amane: Hmph. I will never know unless I try!
Amane: I cannot allow dragons to hurt anyone else!
Amane: Gaaahhh!
Ranzal: Told ya.
Euden: Are you all right, Amane?
Amane: ...I am fine. I was not blown back too far.
Amane: But it was worth it, because now I know!
Euden: What? Midgardsormr actually told you his weakness?
Amane: Yes! He did!
Amane: He said his weakness is food that humans cannot get enough of!
Cleo: ...Pardon?
Amane: Apparently, anything that tastes good to people is poisonous to dragons.
Amane: I must practice all of the culinary arts. Lend me your kitchen at once!
Cleo: The Windwyrm surely lied to her.
Euden: I doubt the thought even crossed her mind.
Euden: She's so straightforward herself, it's easy to fool her.
Amane: At last! I have made something delicious!
Amane: Now I just need to feed this to the dragon...
Cleo: You have made...something, all right. Though what this violet concoction is supposed to be, I do not know.
Amane: Considering this is the first time I have ever made anything, it turned out great! Also, taste counts more than presentation.
Euden: Amane, I really don't think Midgardsormr's weakness is food.
Amane: What? But he told me himself!
Euden: Yes, well, I'm fairly certain he was... You know? Joking?
Amane: He...he lied to me?
Amane: Dragon! I will have you tell me your true weakness!
Amane: Gaaahhh!
Ranzal: She never learns, does she? Girl's got guts though, I'll give 'er that.
Cleo: Do not just stand there singing her praises! Go help the fool!
Cleo: Who knows how far he will send her flying this time?
Euden: I have to wonder what Midgardsormr thinks of her...
Nothing at All
Amane: Gaaahhh!
Midgardsormr: You never learn, child. How many times must I send you away on the wind before you are satisfied?
Amane: *pant* *pant* As...as many as it takes...
Amane: Until you tell me your weakness, I will not stop!
Midgardsormr: And yet I have told you already. My weakness is having my tail polished.
Amane: The only thing polishing your tail will do is make it clean! That's another lie, isn't it?!
Euden: What's going on, Midgardsormr? You look pleased with yourself.
Midgardsormr: Humans like her are tolerable. If only they could all be so direct and pure of heart.
Euden: So you like Amane, huh?
Amane: The Windwyrm...likes me?
Amane: Impossible! That cannot be!
Amane: My home... My family...
Amane: I lost everything! That abomination destroyed my life!
Euden: But that wasn't Midgardsormr.
Euden: He wasn't even—
Midgardsormr: There is no need to defend me, Eduen.
Midgardsormr: I am indeed detestable.
Midgardsormr: One beat of my wings whips up tempests; one roar flattens all before me.
Midgardsormr: My kind is born with great power. There are those among us who see your ilk as weaklings to rule over.
Midgardsormr: And I look no different from them.
Midgardsormr: It is only natural that one who has lost everything to my kin would see me as an outlet for revenge.
Euden: ......
Amane: ......
Midgardsormr: I have nothing more to say.
Midgardsormr: Leave this place now, before I summon gales to carry you away.
Euden: Are you all right, Amane? You look a little green around the gills.
Amane: I...I cannot think straight.
Euden: Because of what Midgardsormr said?
Amane: I lost everything to a dragon...
Amane: If I do nothing, this world will drown in the tears of those who suffer similar tragedies.
Amane: I cannot let that happen. The dragons must be destroyed.
Amane: And yet... Speaking with the Windwyrm... When he laughs, or gets angry...
Amane: It feels like...like he is just like us. Just like a human.
Amane: I think...
Amane: I think it's not just his weakness I'm missing. I don't know anything about him at all.
Euden: Then you ought to keep talking to him.
Euden: To better understand him.
Amane: You're right. I need to learn more. Their personalities, their weaknesses...
Amane: And just who they truly are.
The Child's Ambition
Midgardsormr: What troubles you, child?
Midgardsormr: Normally you'd have asked of my weakness 10 times over by now.
Amane: I do not understand you, Windwyrm.
Midgardsormr: Oh?
Amane: You are not like the vile monster that destroyed my home... Or so I believe.
Amane: But it was still a dragon that inflicted such death and destruction.
Amane: I cannot forgive your kind. I am at a loss as to what to do...
Midgardsormr: ...Our scales are imperfect.
Midgardsormr: There is a single scale on the body of every dragon that is the wrong way around.
Midgardsormr: That is our weakness.
Amane: Wait... What?!
Amane: Why would you tell me that?!
Midgardsormr: Pure impulse.
Midgardsormr: Now, what will you do? Attempt to kill me?
Amane: But... You... I...
Euden: Amane? Is something wrong?
Amane: I have learned the Windwyrm's weakness.
Amane: And now I can slay him.
Amane: But there's something else I learned...
Amane: We may look different on the outside, but a heart beats inside us all.
Amane: Were I to destroy him, I would be no better than the monster that destroyed my home.
Amane: But I am the child of miracles. I know not what to do...
Euden: Well, why not protect both?
Amane: Both what?
Euden: Both kinds. Dragons and humans.
Euden: You can create a world where no one ever suffers because of dragons, and you can do it without destroying them.
Euden: I know you can.
Euden: You're the child of miracles, after all.
Amane: Heh... Ha ha ha! I AM, aren't I?
Amane: Come. Let's return to the Windwyrm.
Amane: Windwyrm! I have made my decision!
Amane: I no longer seek to destroy you! I want us to build the future together!
Midgardsormr: Oh?
Midgardsormr: Are you certain? My kind may not ever stop attacking yours.
Amane: I said I decided!
Amane: I will end people's suffering without destroying you!
Amane: If there are still those of your kind who would harm humans, then I will handle them myself!
Amane: It's settled!
Midgardsormr: You think you can ＂handle＂ dragons? Ha ha ha! You are amusing, child!
Midgardsormr: But if you are truly intent on such a preposterous course of action, I suppose I shall have to watch over you myself.
Amane: Indeed I am! And to mark this occasion, I shall do you the honor of designating you as my friend.
Midgardsormr: ......
Amane: Gaaahhh!
