Words Worth (ワーズ・ワース)

I am God.

Tribes of Light and Shadow, listen to me.

I created Light.

And I created Dark at the same time.

But these are not your final forms.

One day you two shall be complete.

Until that day, I shall erect this tablet to divide the world into Light and Shadow.

God created the Words Worth Tablet.

Someone smashed the tablet.

The two Tribes suspected and blamed each other.

The tradition has this to say:

''If you read this Tablet, you will understand everything.

''But it can be read only by One Who Mixes Light and Shadow.

''And this one shall bring on a New World.''

Thus the Tribes of Light and Shadow, in their quest to solve the riddle...

...and obtain everything, engaged in a battle to last 100 years...

...in search of the Tablet pieces.

How wonderful.

That dream again.

l've never seen anything like it, but somehow l feel nostalgic.

lt's already morning.

What are those?

Those white, gooey objects stuck to the wide, high, blue ceiling?

Oh, yeah, l should ask Dad!

ldiot!

lf you have time to worry about your stupid dreams....

...why don't you practice swordfighting?

Sir Astral, those dreams must be sent by the Light

Tessio! Yes, sir.

Astral is on his way to practice swordfighting. Don't bother him.

But, Dad, no matter how good a swordsman l become...

...you just won't grant me a ''Swordsman's Seal''...

...the permit to fight the Tribe of Light.

That is because Sir Wartoshika wants nothing to happen to you.

After all, you're our precious heir to the throne of the Tribe of Shadow.

Right, Sir Wartoshika?

Yeah?

lf you want a Swordsman's Seal that badly...

...l shall test you myself!

No, thank you. l'll go practice by myself!

Go practice swordfighting, but l'm not giving you a Swordsman's Seal.

How can l take it seriously?

Oh? Sharon is gone.

Maybe she's done training for the day.

Which means....

There, there she is, I knew it.

What a view!

Astral, my fiancé.

He's a nice man, kind and considerate.

And he's a prince on top of that. l have nothing to complain about him.

But...

...if only he were stronger....

Like Caesar.

No, that's too much to ask for.

lf only he were a swordsman....

That's too much to ask of me, Sharon.

Caesar is too much of a comparison.

But Sharon's got a gorgeous body.

Sir Astral?

Hey, Hide. What are you doing here?

Well, Sharon asked me to get rid of spiders in the air duct.

Here comes Katra. Come on.

Young Sir, please, don't scare me.

Sorry. Sorry.

You really surprised me.

What's the hurry?

Oops! l almost forgot. Emergency, young sir!

The Tribe of Light has broken through the Top West Gate.

Didn't we defeat them and send them back just the other day?

This is a much bigger attack than the last time.

Sir Caesar took his legion to intercept them.

He said, ''Katra, go for backup!''

So l'm on my way to report this to Sir Wartoshika.

Caesar is on the scene?

Katra, you said the Top West Gate?

Yes, ma'am.

Sexy!

Sharon, l'm coming, too.

What can you do without a Swordsman's Seal?

Don't bother us!

Then again, some are useless even when they have Swordsman's Seals.

Young Sir, you sure don't have a Swordsman's Seal....

...but that's your father's wish.

So you didn't deserve that.

Young Sir, you'd better be firm with her once and for all.

Miss Sharon will one day become your queen.

lf she doesn't learn to respect you now, she'll end up bossing you around....

What a weakling.

l can't believe he is the son of that rampaging Sir Wartoshika....

Oops! l have to go report quickly, or he'll be furious!

Sir Astral....

Sir Fabris, it seems we have the advantage.

Yes, l may not have to go out there myself.

They have only one worthwhile warrior.

l hear he is Caesar, the best swordsman in the Tribe of Shadows.

If only I had a Swordsman's Seal then Sharon wouldn't make fun of me.

Okay!

Oh, Sir Astral!

Hello, Nina.

What on earth brings you here?

What brings me here? Well....

So you want a Swordsman's Seal.

Yes.

l got it. l shall issue one, without telling Sir Wartoshika.

But l cannot freely give away Swordsman's Seals.

You must be a worthy swordsman. l know that.

What do l need to do?

You can't find him at his usual place?

No. We looked everywhere.

Sir Wartoshika, why are you in such a hurry to talk to Sir Astral?

The report indicates the Tribe of Light is employing a new tactic.

Yes, my analysis suggests their allout attack may come soon.

Just in case something happens to me...

...l have something to tell Astral.

Please don't say such a thing!

lf anything happens to you, yours truly will die with you.

Sir Wartoshika, you are eternal! Please say so.

l have only one life. One of these days....

Sir Wartoshika, maybe you happen to want to talk to Sir Astral...

...about the fragments of the Words Worth Tablet?

Yes, the whereabouts of Words Worth Tablet fragments.

l want you and Astral to know where they are hidden.

Me, too? Yes.

ln which case, you can tell me, then l can tell Sir Astral!

l would rather tell you both at the same time.

What are you waiting for? Go look for Sir Astral!

Do l have to fight these awful ones?

But Caesar and Sharon defeated them.

Awesome, Sir Astral! There's only one more left!

l see how Caesar and Sharon could pass the test.

But how could Hide?
