Punk
Hey, you heard what they're sayin' about
the Silverdrake Mountains?

Ne'er-do-well
You mean that talk of Bival Village hirin'
hunters to take down a dragon?

Punk
Yeah! Sounds dangerous, but they're
payin' out the nose for it.

Ne'er-do-well
Sure, but it's a dragon, y'know?
It's gonna be real dangerous.

Punk
We play our cards right, we could be set
for life! Let's go check it out!

???
...Don't.

Punk
Huh?
And who the heck're you?

???
That dragon, Altaireon, is my prey. I won't
let anyone else take his head.

???
You third-rate hunters wouldn't
even stand a chance anyway.

Ne'er-do-well
Whassat?!
You pickin' a fight, huh?!

Punk
How about we beat you down right here!
Then we'll go kill that dragon, too!

???
Hmph.

Punk
Gaah!

???
Altaireon of the Silverdrake Mountains...
Why are you being hunted?

???
I'll ask in Bival. Doubt anyone but me can
beat him, but...

???
To think I'd be the one coming back...

Luna
Solas!
Soooolaaaaaaas!

Solas
What, Luna?
Please don't smack me awake... Yaawn...

Luna
Wonderful news! I just got a lead for
our next grand adventure!

Crescent
Groooo! Groooo groooo!

Solas
Not you too, Crescent...
Okay, what's this "lead"?

Luna
Bival Village in the Silverdrake Mountains
is hiring people to take down a dragon!

Luna
And it's not just any dragon, either!
It's one of the legendary dragons!

Solas
Not this again.

Luna
Don't make faces!

Luna
We've already met one of them! So who
says we can't meet a second or third?!

Solas
(Luna's always been a master of
jumping to conclusions.)

Solas
(The smallest bit of gossip becomes
a village-wide investigation...)

Solas
(And a visitor from the next town over
becomes a black-hearted slaver.)

Solas
(Though last time, her conclusions led us
to meet the legendary dragon Fornaxos...)

Solas
(So it's not like they're all bad, I guess.)

Solas
This sounds weird. Legendary dragons
don't show themselves to humans.

Luna
Sure they do. We met Fornaxos,
didn't we?

Crescent
Groo?

Luna
He asked us to raise Crescent, even!
Don't tell me you forgot already.

Solas
Of course not! But that was the
coincidence of a lifetime, you know?

Solas
And there's something else fishy about
all this, too.

Luna
Huh? What?

Solas
The Dragon Lords are fearsome, but
grand and dignified beings.

Solas
They wouldn't attack any humans unless
they were attacked first.

Solas
So why is Bival trying to have one of them
hunted down and killed?

Luna
Ugh, you are so picky!

Luna
Who cares about all that?! They're
offering a 900 thousand silver reward!

Solas
900 thousand?!

Luna
Amazing, right?! And it doesn't say we
have to kill the dragon, either!

Luna
So come on! Let's go catch him already!

Solas
H-hey, don't pull me!

Crescent
Groo?
Grooogroo! ♪

Luna
Wow, there's a lot of folks here...
Looks like twenty or thirty already.

Solas
For a reward like that, I'm not surprised.
That's a chance worth betting on.

Luna
Everyone here is our rival!
I'm getting kind of fired up!

Akatsuki
Hm? Don't tell me you two are here
to take down the dragon?

Solas
Uh...yeah, we are.

Akatsuki
Word of advice? Give it up.
Go home before you get yourselves hurt.

Luna
Huh?!
Who asked you, you big—

Chief
Esteemed hunters, thank you for
answering the call in our time of need.

Solas
Shh, Luna!
That must be the village chief.

Chief
We have been searching for someone
strong enough to defeat a dragon.

Hunter
Is the 900 thousand reward real?

Chief
Yes. I understand your suspicion, seeing
our humble village, but...

Chief
The reward is real. If you doubt us, I will
show you after our talk is over.

Luna
This is great, Solas! Once we defeat that
dragon, we'll be rolling in money!

Solas
Yeah. I wasn't sure, but it seems like that
part was true.

Chief
Now, on to the details of—

Hunter
Huh? What was that?
A cloud across the sun?

Solas
No, it was too fast...oh. Oh, no.
It couldn't be—?!

Altaireon
Graaaaaa!

Hunter
Gyaaah! A-ain't dragons supposed to stay
holed up in the mountains?!

Trapper
L-look at the size of that thing!
O-outta my way! I'm gettin' outta here!

Solas
So that's Altaireon...!
The hunters are cutting and running!

Akatsuki
Hah! Cowards! Get out of the way and
watch how a real hero handles this!

Akatsuki
Come on, you overgrown lizard!
You face Akatsuki the Hellfire Blade!

Luna
Now's our chance, Solas! If we fight,
that bounty's as good as ours!

Solas
...Y-you're right. We have to buy time for
the villagers to escape, too.

Solas
Let's do it!

Scene 2
Akatsuki
This is a legendary dragon? I
fought stronger beasts on my way here...

Altaireon
Grrrr...!

Akatsuki
Whatever. Time to finish this!
Haaaa!

Altaireon
Rrraaaagh!

Luna
No! He's running away!

Akatsuki
It's too wide-open here. No place to
drive it into a corner...

Akatsuki
Oh well. I'll handle the beast after I
formally accept the contract.

Luna
That was so weird, though. That didn't
feel like a legendary dragon at all!

Akatsuki
You can say that again. This isn't a battle,
it's basically just pest control.

Solas
Yeah...you're right.
...Something feels weird about this.

Chief
Brave hunters, thank you for standing
against the dragon's attack.

Solas
Ah, Chief.

Chief
Surely you brave souls will be able to
slay the dragon!

Luna
So, is that why you're hiring hunters?
Because the dragon attacks like that?

Chief
Yes. Please allow me to explain.

Chief
While Bival Village has stood at the foot
of the mountains for many, many years...

Chief
We have never had any dealings with, or
trouble from, the dragon.

Chief
But one day, out of nowhere, Altaireon
suddenly attacked the village, as you saw.

Solas
So the dragon made the first attack?

Chief
Yes. These endless attacks have taken
a terrible toll on our village...

Chief
So we pooled all our resources to hire
a hunter brave enough to end the beast.

Chief
All that we have is yours, if you can
defeat the dragon.

Chief
Our 900 thousand silver is a small price
to pay to have our peaceful days back.

Luna
Just leave it to us! That dragon is
as good as defeated already!

Crescent
Groo...

Solas
Crescent! Stay hidden!
Dragons aren't exactly popular here.

Chief
Hm? What was that?

Solas
Uh, uh, uh! Nothing! Nothing at all!
C-come on, Luna, let's go!

Luna
Ooh, you're actually excited for once!
Yeah, let's go!

Luna
Okay! First, we need to find the dragon's
lair.

Solas
So...why are we wandering aimlessly
through the woods?

Luna
It's not aimless! My intuition is leading
us directly to where we need to be!

Solas
Through every thorn patch in the forest?
This isn't even a game trail anymore.

Solas
We're separated from the others, too.
This is definitely a dumb idea.

Hunter
Yeah. Too bad for you—
You would've been safer in numbers!

Luna
Huh?
Hey, who're you?!

Trapper
What do you think?
We're here for the dragon!

Hunter
Can't say I like hurting kids, but I like
splitting that reward even less!

Hunter
Say your prayers, brats!

Luna
Hmph, we won't lose to cheating scum
like you!

Solas
I-I don't think you need to rile them up!

Hunter
You talk a big game!
We're gonna make you regret it!

Scene 3
Luna
Stay back, creep!
Hah!

Hunter
You damn brat!
Just die already!

Luna
This "brat" has been kicking all your butts
for the past half hour! Haha!

Solas
Luna! Please stop riling them up!

Hunter
Shut up! Time to die!

Solas
Luna! Look out!

???
...Out of the way.

Solas
Huh?

Hunter
Gyaaah!

???
Hmph. Whimpering like a babe...
Get lost, weaklings.

Trapper
W-who is that?!
Let's get outta here!

Luna
Hah! Look at them run.
You're all pathetic!

Luna
That was kind of close, though.
Thanks for saving us, gramps!

???
Gramps—?! Don't be ridiculous.
I'm not that old.

Luna
But you've got white hair! Okay, we'll
compromise. You can be Old Guy!

???
How is that a compromise?!

Solas
I'm sorry about Luna. Could you tell us
your name? If only to shut her up?

Imran
...Imran.

Imran
What are you brats doing out here? If
you don't want to die, hurry home.

Luna
No way. We're here to defeat Altaireon.

Imran
He's my prey.
Stay out of this.

Solas
There he goes...

Luna
...Hmph.

Luna
Well, don't just stand there! Let's follow
after him!

Solas
Huh?! Why?!

Luna
That old guy seems a bit different from
the others. Like he knows something.

Solas
I mean...yeah, a little. And something
seemed strange about Altaireon earlier.

Solas
Imran may have some idea about what's
really going on around here.

Luna
What are you muttering to yourself for?
He might know where the dragon's lair is!

Solas
That's what you meant?!
H-hey, don't pull meee!

Imran
...

Imran
How long do you plan to follow me?
I told you to stay out of this.

Luna
No way! We're going to defeat Altaireon!

Imran
Ha. As if you could.

Solas
It almost sounds like you know how
strong he is.

Imran
...

Solas
Imran, won't you tell us what you know
about Altaireon?

Imran
No.
Why should I?

Solas
Please... There's something really fishy
about all of this.

Solas
Why would a legendary dragon attack a
village unprovoked, for instance?

Solas
And how did such a small village pull
together 900 thousand silver?

Solas
Altaireon seemed oddly weak. And there
are almost no animals in these foothills.

Solas
We haven't seen a single one since we
set out. Something is happening here.

Imran
I don't care.

Solas
But...!

Luna
Then why do you want to fight him so
bad? For the money? Or the fame?

Imran
...I don't care about the animals or the
fame, and definitely not the money either.

Luna
Then, you want to save the village?

Imran
You're one nosy brat.

Luna
I wouldn't have to be if you just told us
already!

Imran
Ugh...fine. If it'll get you to stop talking...

Imran
There is one thing I'm interested in. Why
Altaireon attacked the village.

Imran
I want to know why. That's why I'm
headed for his lair.

Luna
You think he wouldn't do something
like that? Sounds like you know him...

Luna
So you and Altaireon must be friends!
And that's why you want to help him!

Imran
Friends?! Are you stupid?!
What gave you that idea?!

Luna
But it seems like you believe he's got a
reason for what he's doing, Old Guy.

Imran
No, I don't!
And I'm not old!

Solas
Luna, it almost seems like you're making
him mad on purpose...

Crescent
Groo, groo.

Solas
Oh, Crescent. What do you have there?
A shiny rock?

Solas
...Hm?
This is...

Luna
We're finally here.
So that's Altaireon's lair?

Solas
Yeah...look closely.
You can just barely see him inside there.

Imran
...
...Altaireon.

Luna
H-hey, Old Guy!

Imran
Hmph.
Look at you.

Altaireon
Ah...it has been a long time.
I knew you would come...

Imran
I'm here to fulfill our promise. It's time
for one of us to die.

Imran
I've been training. I'm stronger than I
was before. Let's end this, Altaireon!

Altaireon
Hah...
As you wish!

Luna
Hey! They're fighting!
Aren't they supposed to be friends?!

Solas
Don't ask me!
What should we do?!

Luna
We'd better get in there!

Imran
Haaa!

Altaireon
Grngh...
Graaaah!

Solas
You want us to get in-between that?

Luna
Uh...maybe not. How is Old Guy that
strong?! He's beating back a dragon!

Solas
I don't know, but...

Imran
...Why?!
Why aren't you using your full power?!

Altaireon
Haha... You have grown strong, little one.
Gh...hk...!

Imran
Blood...?

Luna
Did he get hurt in the fight?

Solas
No... Altaireon! You're suffering from
some kind of sickness, aren't you?

Imran
What?!

Altaireon
...

Imran
Is it true, Altaireon? You're weakened by
some kind of disease?

Altaireon
...It is no disease.

Altaireon
The people of the village have been
hunting the beasts of the mountain...

Altaireon
Intentionally...and mercilessly.

Altaireon
They hunt more than they could ever eat.
And my supply of food has dwindled.

Altaireon
I am starving.
That is why I am so weak.

Altaireon
I attacked the village to frighten them
away from despoiling the land further.

Solas
...No, that's a lie. Starvation doesn't
make you cough blood.

Solas
And you wouldn't waste energy attacking
the village in that case, either.

Solas
If you had strength to waste doing that,
you could easily go somewhere el...huh?

Crescent
Groo...

Solas
Crescent?
What's wrong?

Altaireon
...!
That young one...

Luna
Crescent?! What's wrong?!
He's so wobbly!

Altaireon
Has the young one drank any water here?!

Luna
Water? Um... He had a drink at the pond
nearby a little while ago, but...

Altaireon
It is as I feared. Come inside;
the child must rest, immediately.

Solas
Altaireon, do you usually drink
at that spring?

Altaireon
...

Solas
You said it's not a disease... Which
means that it's probably poison instead.

Solas
Someone is poisoning your spring, trying
to weaken you!

Imran
What...?!
Damn it!

Luna
Old Guy?!

Solas
Luna, keep an eye on Crescent. I'll go
check out the spring with Imran!

Luna
Okay! Hurry back!

???
Foolish villagers. Tasking me with such
drivel...they do not know my true strength.

???
I would be long gone, if the pay were
not so enticing...

Imran
You there.
What are you doing?

???
...!
Who are you?!

Solas
That bottle...that's a poison made from
local herbs, right?

???
...Hah! I am a simple traveler drawing
water! Nothing more!

Imran
Liar!

Ul Ganan
Ah! What are you doing?! Do you
recognize Soul Sorcerer Ul Ganan?!

Imran
No. I couldn't care less about your
excuses or your lies!

Imran
Stop what you're doing. Put the bottle
down and leave. Or you die.

Ul Ganan
I-I see you will not listen. Then I will
not sit still for your blade, either! Haaa!

Imran
Magic illusions?
Cheap tricks...

Ul Ganan
You are powerless before my arcane arts!
Begone, or I will claim your soul!

Imran
Your voice is quavering, "Sorcerer!"
Haa!

Ul Ganan
Wrong one!

Solas
There are too many illusions...
We can't fight him like this.

Solas
Maybe I can do something about them.
Then Imran can take him down!

Solas
Come on, Blazewolf! Use your nose!
Sniff out the real one!

Blazewolf
Grrrr!
Awoooo!

Ul Ganan
Gyaah!
Cursed beast!

Solas
There, Imran!
That's the real one!

Imran
Got it.
I'll carve him from head to toe!

Scene 4
Imran
Time to die, you charlatan!

Ul Ganan
Gyaaaah!

Ul Ganan
No! I refuse to die for some petty
chief and her petty coin!

Solas
He dropped everything and ran off...

Imran
He said something about a chief.

Solas
Of Bival, probably. She said that Altaireon
attacked them unprovoked...

Solas
But it seems like they were probably the
ones who started this fight.

Solas
They hunted the forest empty to starve
Altaireon...

Solas
And sold the meat and pelts to amass
a bounty to hire dragon hunters.

Imran
But why?! Altaireon almost never leaves
his lair in the mountains.

Imran
What do they gain from picking a fight
with him?

Solas
...Gold.

Imran
What?

Solas
Crescent gave me this rock a while ago.
Look, you can see the shine—

Imran
Shh!
...I hear a battle.

Solas
Could the other hunters have found
Altaireon's lair?!

Imran
Let's go!

Solas
Imran!

Solas
...Wait. The magician's bags...
Maybe...!

Just a few moments earlier...

Luna
Ugh, there they are... There are so many
hunters left. That's not fair.

Luna
What should I do? If they find Crescent,
they're gonna hunt him, too!

Altaireon
Daughter of man. I am too large to hide,
but you are not.

Altaireon
Shelter in the long grass. With luck, they
will not find you.

Luna
Altaireon...

Crescent
Groo! Groogroo!

Luna
What is it, Crescent? That's not where
he told us to hide.

Luna
...You don't want to leave Altaireon alone?

Crescent
Grooo! Groo groo!
Grooooo...roo.

Luna
Okay, okay. You're still sick, mister!
Settle down.

Luna
...Okay.
Altaireon, I'm not running away.

Luna
Crescent wants to help you.
So we're going to protect you!

Altaireon
...
Thank you, daughter of man.

Luna
Oh, right, I never introduced myself.
I'm Luna. My complainy buddy is Solas.

Altaireon
Luna...pray, do not be reckless. With all
the strength left to me, I will protect you.

Hunter
There! It's the dragon's lair!

Luna
They found us, huh...okay.

Luna
Hold it right there!

Akatsuki
You're that girl from the village...I'm glad
you're alive, but you need to move.

Luna
I found the dragon first! So it's my right
to fight him first!

Akatsuki
Rights don't mean much to the kind of
person hunting dragons for a bounty, kid.

Akatsuki
If you want the bounty, take it—
or get out of my way!

Luna
Nope, and you can't make me!
Did you all forget?!

Luna
The Chief said the reward goes to the
one person who defeats the dragon!

Luna
If you all fight him at once, which one of
you gets the reward, huh?!

Akatsuki
...Fair point. Then we'll decide ahead of
time how to split it.

Akatsuki
The one who gets paid will split the coin
with everyone. That way—

Hunter
Hah! Not likely! Whoever gets paid will
just sneak off with the whole reward!

Akatsuki
We'll all keep an eye on them to make
sure they don't, then!

Trapper
I bet he just wants to steal the reward
for himself!

Trapper
Well, I won't let you!
Haaa!

Akatsuki
Huh?!
Damn it!

Akatsuki
Why are you doing this?! I just think we
should coordinate our attacks!

Hunter 2
All of you, get outta here! You don't
deserve any of my reward!

Trapper 2
You?! Don't make me laugh!
You just stay out of my way!

Akatsuki
Knock it off! Stop fighting!

Luna
Now, Altaireon!
Get out of here!

Akatsuki
Oh no you don't!

Luna
You...!

Hunter 2
So, you're really okay with a 1:3 split
on the reward?

Akatsuki
All I need is money for food. What I really
want is the glory of killing a dragon!

Akatsuki
So what about it, kid?! If you stand in
our way, we won't hesitate!

Luna
I'm not moving! Get out of here before
he kicks your butts, you wimpy cowards!

Trapper
Why, you little...!

Imran
Haaaaaa!

Trapper
Gaah!

Luna
Old Guy!

Imran
I'm not old!

Akatsuki
Damn it, she's got backup?
And he looks pretty strong.

Imran
Get lost!
Altaireon is my prey!

Akatsuki
Hah! This oughtta be fun. You'll make a
good warmup for the dragon!

Trapper 2
Wow, look at that. I didn't realize
that Akatsuki guy was so strong.

Hunter 2
Don't space out! Let's help him! We take
that guy down, next is the dragon!

Akatsuki
Huh?!
Don't get in our way!

Hunter 2
Shut up! We're here for the dragon, not
some guy with a sword!

Akatsuki
I know, but...! Damn it, I was really
enjoying that fight, too...

Trapper 2
Take this!

Imran
...!

Akatsuki
You're distracted...and that's my chance!

Imran
Ngh?!

Akatsuki
With this many opponents, even you
can't help but struggle.

Akatsuki
It's a shame. Would've been a fun fight
one-on-one.

Akatsuki
Let's have a rematch in Hell!

Altaireon
No!
I will not let you kill my soul-brother!

Akatsuki
Aah! W-what is this?!
Lightning?!

Akatsuki
Gaaaah!

Imran
Altaireon?!
What is—

Altaireon
My true strength, unfettered by
the poison.

Altaireon
The thousandfold lightning that
reduces all to ash!

Luna
You're cured? Good for you, Altaireon!

Solas
I found the antidote in Ul Ganan's bag.

Solas
You always want to have some on hand,
just in case. I'm glad he did.

Solas
Here's some for you too, Crescent. It's
probably yucky, but bear with it, okay?

Crescent
Groo?
Groo...bleh.

Akatsuki
Don't give up yet! Attack as one!
A split reward is better than none!

Akatsuki
We're strong! If we work together, we
can defeat even a legendary dragon!

Hunter
Y-yeeeah!

Altaireon
Imran. I wish to warm up after my long
bout of infirmity.

Altaireon
Shall we compete to see who can drive
off the most hunters?

Imran
Hmph. How stupid.

Imran
But...it'd be boring to fight you at
anything less than full power.

Imran
Alright, sure. Start thinking of your
excuses for when you lose!

Luna
Hey! Hey, I wanna join the contest too!
Come on, Solas!

Solas
Are you serious?! We can't compete
with those two!

Luna
Not with that attitude, we can't!
Come on already!

Solas
Okay, fine...if we're doing this, let's be
sure not to embarrass ourselves!

Akatsuki
You too, huh, kid!

Akatsuki
Sounds good! You'll make a fine footnote
in the legend of Akatsuki!

Akatsuki
Here I come!

Scene 5
Villager
Chief...are you sure this is going to work?

Chief
The dragon should be severely weakened
by now. They have a good chance.

Villager
...Chief! Look there!

Hunter
Waaaah!

Chief
Hold! What is going on?!

Hunter
Outta my way! That dragon's way too
strong! We can't beat that thing!

Chief
Wha...

Akatsuki
...Damn it all.

Chief
Ah, sir! Surely you defeated that awful
beast?

Akatsuki
No. It was much, much stronger than
before. I can't defeat it, not right now.

Chief
What?! But it should be even weaker than
it was before!

Akatsuki
Weaker...because of the poison, right?

Chief
Ah...
H-how did you—

Akatsuki
There's no glory in slaying a dragon
with cheap tricks like that.

Akatsuki
If you want the dragon gone, try talking
to it or whatever. But I'm out.

Chief
B-but...

Villager
Chief! Look up!
It's Altaireon!

Chief
What?!
Everyone, get down!

Luna
Hup!
Thanks for the lift, Altaireon!

Luna
...Huh? Who's that on the ground?
The Chief and the villagers?

Chief
A-Altaireon...

Altaireon
So you are the village chief, then.

Altaireon
Answer me. Why did you poison the land?
Why have you driven all the beasts away?

Chief
W-well...

Luna
If you don't want to explain, then Solas
can do it for you!

Solas
Why me?
I mean, I guess I can...

Solas
This is what you're after, right, Chief?

Chief
Aah! The gold of Silverdrake!
You found a vein, then?!

Chief
Tell me where it is. None outside the
village must hear of this!

Solas
So, all of this was to monopolize the gold
veins in the mountains.

Solas
You hunted the beasts to stockpile the
reward, and starve Altaireon too.

Solas
The reward would also serve to buy the
silence of anyone who found any gold.

Solas
You were so greedy, you poured poison
into the water...

Solas
You tried to kill the land itself, all so you
could make money!

Chief
Our village is poor and miserable,
this was our one shot at a better life!

Chief
If the silver isn't enough for you, then
take some gold. Just kill the dragon!

Solas
Sorry, but you'd better think of another
way to save your village.

Chief
What...?

Solas
...Here.

Villager
He threw the gold?!

Chief
Be careful with that! We need this to—

Chief
...What?
It's so...light.

Solas
I realized when I picked it up. This isn't
gold. It's just pyrite.

Solas
It's pretty, so you might be able to sell it,
but it's worthless next to gold.

Chief
But...but...no.
Our village...

Solas
...There was never any gold in these hills.

Chief
But...no...!

Villager
What the heck?! No gold at all?!

Villager
You lied to us, Chief! Now what's gonna
happen with all that silver, huh?!

Altaireon
Silence!

Villager
Eep...!

Altaireon
Return to your homes.
And never approach this place again.

Villager
Uwaaaah!

Solas
They all ran away...

Luna
Aw, man. I guess no one gets the silver,
after all.

Solas
No, but that's okay. They probably need
it for themselves more.

Altaireon
Luna. Solas. I am in your debt. Thanks to
you, I did not have to leave the mountain.

Solas
Ah...right.
Can I ask you one more question?

Altaireon
Of course. Ask, and I shall answer.

Solas
Why didn't you leave the mountains?

Solas
I understand not wanting to leave your
lair, but if the alternative is death...

Altaireon
True, it would not be difficult to find
another place to make my home.

Altaireon
But...I made a promise with a certain
fool, to grant him a rematch against me.

Altaireon
If I were to leave this place, he would
not likely find me again.

Imran
...!

Imran
Shut up. No matter where you go, I'll
find you, and I'll defeat you.

Altaireon
Oh, will you, now? Then shall we have
our rematch here and now?

Imran
You know it. I'm not leaving here
without your head!

Solas
H-hey, wait, wait...

Solas
Waaah! Take cover, Luna!

Imran
Gah! You're wrapping those bandages
too tight!

Solas
Sorry, did I hurt you?

Luna
That was really amazing!
Altaireon's full power is awesome!

Imran
...He was just as strong last time.
Got me with the same lightning blast, too.

Luna
You're pretty reckless, challenging him
again, Old Guy.

Imran
...Your point?

Luna
Easy, easy. I'm just teasing.

Luna
At first I thought you were just some
weird, stubborn old guy...

Imran
Enough of the old guy thing already.

Luna
But when I saw how much you treasure
Altaireon, I realized I was wrong.

Luna
You two really are such good friends!

Imran
...We're not friends.

Solas
You're not? But you were both so eager
to see each other again.

Imran
Eager...yeah, I guess. I've dreamed of
our rematch all these years.

Imran
But...I was also scared to see him again.

Imran
Not of dying. I was scared of our next
fight...being our last, one way or another.

Luna
...That sounds a lot like being friends
to me, just saying.

Imran
Huh?
...How so?

Solas
I'm always excited to play with friends,
but it's sad when the day ends, too.

Luna
Yeah, exactly. That's why I think you
and Altaireon are definitely friends.

Solas
Having a dragon friend sounds so cool.
I wish I had one!

Imran
...

Imran
I...can't do anything but fight.
Am I worthy of being his friend?

Luna
Huh?
Wow, don't you get it yet?

Luna
You're the only one who could be his
friend! You're battle buddies!

Luna
Altaireon was looking forward to your
rematch just as much as you were.

Imran
...Really?

Imran
...I see.

Imran
Thanks, you two. It's been ages since I
talked like this with anyone.

Imran
Next time him and I fight, I'll invite you
two along as witnesses. How's that?

Crescent
Groo!

Imran
Sorry, almost forgot.
You're invited too.

Crescent
Groo groo!

Solas
We'd be glad to observe...from a little
further away, next time...

Luna
Don't be silly! We're gonna be right up
close to drink in all the action!

Solas
Seriously?! My hair's still standing on
end from all those lightning strikes!

Imran
You won't have to worry about that
next time...

Imran
Because next time, I'm gonna win!
