The Weathering Continent (風の大陸)

Before the dawn of history,

the ocean was a prosperous continent.

For more than a millennium, the elements

raged, swelling the oceans, eroding the land.

The kingdom was divided, delivered to chaos and warrior lords.

The entire country was plunged into turmoil.

How barbaric.

They even pierced the water barrel, these dogs.

- Could this be the work of thugs? - No, it's something else.

They don't attack the poor.

They wouldn't have wasted the water and...

And...

- These people were tortured. - Tortured?

- They were looking for something. - What then?

I don't know.

But then...

Lakushi.

Drink.

Hey...

Sorry.

I took you for those jackals who attacked us.

Tieh, you are a healer. Do something.

- I'm sorry. - What did they want?

We were looking for treasure.

A treasure?

Our village is so poor. Not even an insect can be found there.

So, we decided to go on a treasure hunt.

It took us 35 days to get here.

This is where it got us, unfortunately.

I see, they wanted the treasure map.

- Yes. - Come on, don't talk.

It doesn't hurt to talk anymore.

They all have to wait in the village.

They are waiting for our return, it is their only hope.

There's still some water, right?

I would like to drink a little. The rest is for you.

But...

- Here, drink. - THANKS.

How good.

If only I could last a few more days.

I almost forgot to tell you, my name is...

No, hang on.

Hey, please, use your power.

Tieh.

Stupid kid. It was madness to embark on such a journey.

The fool.

-Lakushi. - What ?

Lakushi, this person was a woman.

I am no longer a woman anymore.

- Madness. - It makes no difference.

We all eventually return to the land.

Poor child.

With such a death, she will have difficulty entering the Afterlife.

She pretended to be a boy.

Why, in your opinion?

We have already seen women dress like a man, to protect

themselves from attackers. There's nothing strange about it.

- She was so young. - But nevertheless a woman.

Lakushi, Better not to think about it anymore.

I know. I should think about not thinking about it anymore.

And not to talk too much, too.

Tieh, where is the next well?

Healle Kine is a two-day walk away.

- Two days? - Yes, if it is not dry.

Oh, no. Eh ?

Odd.

What is it, Bois?

The fog is lifting.

Well, Tieh?

Water, I smell it.

What do you say?

Wait.

- What else, Boïs? - Something's wrong.

The humidity of this city is the work of the wind spirits.

There's water here. Let's go, Boïs.

- However... - Without this water, we're ruined, Boïs.

What is it, Tieh?

I'm sorry, I hear them.

Party noises, laughter.

The sound of water dripping into a well.

I don't hear anything.

I have keen hearing, but I don't hear anything either.

I'm sorry.

I have just come down from the mountain, I

happen to clearly distinguish the voices of the dead.

Oops. It's ridiculous, let's see.

Leave it, Lakushi. Anyway, we entered.

It's a city, right? If there is water, let's find it.

Let's go.

Hey, wait.

Rakumu, - the camp and weapons are ready.

GOOD.

Except for the guards, split into two and search for Seita's temple.

It is an opulent city, the treasure must be there.

- Understood. - If someone thought to steal...

Kill him, no mercy.

Find this treasure in the temple.

Good, Lord Rakumu.

Lakushi.

Lakushi?

What...

What is this?

Keiron told me about it before I left the mountain.

Keiron?

He's the one who raised me.

And what did he tell you?

-Azec Sistra. -Azec Sistra?

Yes, Azec Sistra.

This city is home to the dead.

Could this be the famous legendary necropolis?

Indeed. They were mummified and thus arranged,

in their most beautiful finery.

- How do you know that? - I feel the presence of their soul.

Eh ? You mean they're here?

These souls have no grievance, rest assured.

We took good care of them.

In other words, Is this a luxury tomb?

In Azec Sistra, the deceased live.

- Did you know, Boïs? - A mercenary once told me about it.

So, you knew too?

It all began with a prosperous city four centuries ago.

She lived from trading and agriculture, and

extracted precious stones from Mount Haere.

A haven of peace.

Now, I understand all this luxury better.

But isn't all that a bit exaggerated?

- There's a reason. - Oh yes ?

Those who built this city believed in

the Hereafter more than in this world.

Their prosperity was such that very quickly, they

began to desire that this paradise would be eternal.

Happiness and opulence,

wealth and eternal bodies,

a perfect city to live in forever.

Azec had a priest, God of judgment and death.

He proposed building this necropolis, which

would not just be a cold tomb, but an ideal

city, where the deceased would live happily.

And thus Azec Sistra was born.

Hence the desire of grave robbers.

This is why the secret of Azec Sistra was so well kept.

And there is the curse.

The curse?

As long as we don't disturb anything, we have nothing to fear.

All we want is water. No need to linger here.

- I told you, she's cute. - For sure.

Maybe they're one of those we killed today.

We are travelers, we are looking for water.

We want to give some, but to the woman only.

Stop. Let's not fight.

Tieh, frankly, now is not the time.

They're not the type to talk.

Don't do that, Boïs.

- Especially none of that here. - You dare attack us?

The dogs, where did they go?

Tieh.

- Did we lose them? - This way.

Where are they hiding? Find all three of them.

Lord Rakumu.

What ?

Cursed. There are only mummies here, in the middle of a stupid party.

Where the hell have they gone?

It was a close call.

I have one of those thirsts.

The God of judgment and death, Azec.

What, we didn't kill them all?

And among them, there is real beauty.

- Well, where are they? - We lost them.

Here we are between God Azec and God Seita.

Here we are exactly between the God of destiny and the God of judgment.
