King's Raid: Successors of the Will (キングスレイド 意志を継ぐものたち)

One hundred years have passed since the Battle of Galluah Plains,

where King Kyle defeated the Dark Lord Angmund.

The Demons rise again, threatening the world,

spreading fear and unrest to all.

Kasel is told that he is the son of King Kyle.

He seeks to find and acquire the Holy Sword Aea, to protect those dear to him.

He departs on a journey to find the keys to unseal the Holy Sword.

In order to acquire the Holy Sword, you must first break its seal.

First, go meet Lorraine, the Grand Sage of the Forest of Elidora.

Let's go.

The Forest and

the Elves

That's the Forest of Elidora.

Ugh, a forest.

And here I thought I'd get to go to lots of interesting places!

Well, um, the Forest of Elidora isn't some place you can enter usually, so...

It's still a forest.

Anyway...

Kasel is the son of King Kyle?

I don't buy that at all!

How about you?

Do you, like, have a gut feeling or something?

Huh?

No, I...

The legendary King Kyle, my father?

No...

I know right? I mean, it's King Kyle, legendary hero, slayer of the Dark Lord.

Meanwhile, you, heroic? Not one bit.

Hey, you...

I... believe.

I believe we are being guided by Lua, our goddess.

Frey...

Hey, what's this?

Here they come.

Demons...!

Roi!

We have to go, too!

It's fine.

Incredible.

Dammit.

More?

Um!

Thank you for saving us. I'm Kasel.

I'm Cleo.

My name is Frey.

A great sorceress from the Tower of the Sage!

I didn't think it was possible to see Demons so close to the Forest of Elidora...

They have recently started to appear quite frequently.

I see.

I was waiting for you.

I will guide you to Master Lorraine.

What?!

Hey, is this...

Um...

Let's follow along, for now.

I guess.

This is...

...the Forest of Elidora...

Is that...

A treant!

I've never seen them so close up...!

Um... Who are you?

And where is Lorraine, the Great Sage of the Forest?

It's "Master" Lorraine.

Oh, I'm sorry!

But anyway, who are you?

You didn't even introduce yourself, and you're all like, "Follow me."

Kind of rude, don't you think?

I am Selene.

Master Lorraine instructed me to bring to her the human, Kasel.

And us?

What about us?

I am only following Master Lorraine's wishes.

Um...

We must hurry.

What's wrong, Roi?

I keep getting the feeling that I'm being looked at.

Yeah, or more like stared or gawked at.

--Humans... --Why did the Princess...? --A blight on the forest.

--Go away. --This is no place for you.

Did the Princess bring them?

Stay away.

Princess...?

Leave.

I heard that, too! Are you the princess?

Yes.

Ah, so you're a princess!

Lowly humans...

--How vile. --Useless. --Such a travesty.

--Who'd have thought we'd have to see one? --Leave as soon as possible.

Hey, if you've got something to say, come out and say it to my face!

Leave this place.

We're not exactly on a sightseeing tour either, you know!

It doesn't seem like we're welcome here.

Isn't it obvious? This forest is sacred to us elves.

Why must we welcome you humans?

That's not nice.

We're the outsiders here.

We have no quarrel with the elves.

Let's get to Master Lorraine quickly.

Huh?

Where's Miss Selene?

She was just here a moment ago...

We have to catch up to her quickly.

It's a dead end!

What?!

By the way...

Do you know the other name for the Forest of Elidora?

No.

Forest of the Lost.

The elves and treants play tricks on travelers to make them lose their way.

You're telling us this now?!

Kasel? Everyone?

Are you okay, Princess?

Humans no longer coming.

You're safe now.

Princess.

Forest is safe.

No fear of contamination.

Princess. We're glad.

You...

Open the way.

Princess.

Are you defying my order?

Princess.

I know you don't want to trust the humans.

Neither do I...

But Master Lorraine wishes it.

We're sorry to bother you.

Please, could you let us through?

Fine, then I'll burn this whole place down!

Definitely not.

I'm obviously kidding.

Oh, so cute!

Is it a baby treant?

Is it guiding us?

Weren't you listening? Elves and treants make travelers get lost.

But we can't just stand around. Let's see where he'll take us.

Necha!

You startled me. What is it?

You...?!

The little one brought us here.

Necha did that?

Necha is his name? But since it's cuter, can I just call him Chibi?

Weren't you playing in your usual place?

You guided them, thank you. But...

You can't stay around them. Humans are dangerous.

Chibi! Chibi!

Chibi sure has a cute face.

If you do anything bad to Necha, you will be punished.

I won't, sheesh.

It's getting darker.

Yeah, I'm starting to get hungry.
