Fall of the Dragon - Chapter 3: Light, Shine! Shadow, Creep! - Episode 1
As the party continues through the woods, the vampires explain the symbolism behind the gesture Feldrac showed them in the cave. Once again, they get into a fight, but Veight's mood suddenly changes.
The party heads deeper into the forest to continue collecting fruits and vegetables.
Veight and Vania don't say a single word, which creates a tense atmosphere.
Rackam is unable to bear the silence any longer and has to say something.
Rackam: By the way, what was that thing your old man did in the cave? You know, that arm thing?
Lyria: Y-yeah, after he thanked us, he put his hand to his chest.
Rackam: Right, right. And then Veight told him to stop it
Veight: ...
Vania: Oh, that? I think it's like a greeting or something.
Rackam: Just a greeting? Why would Veight try so hard to stop a greeting?
Veight: You mortals would only misconstrue our gestures as vulgarities.
Vania: Hmm, I don't really know much about it.
Vania: Isn't it something we do to be polite? And lowering your head makes it extra polite!
Veight: Even among fellow vampires, we must only bow to our superiors. It's another tenet of the old ways.
Vania: Sigh. You really love the old laws and customs, don't you? Don't you ever get tired of them?
Veight: Listen, Vania. The only one that breaks laws and doesn't follow the old ways is you.
Vania: Grrr...
Lyria: Uh, hey, take a look over there!
Lyria: There are a lot of delicious-looking fruits growing over there!
Vyrn: Whoa! They do look delicious! And there are so many of them!
Vania: Yay! C'mon, let's get going!
Veight: ...
Lyria: Veight, won't you come with us?
Veight: Humph, I'm not here to make friends. I'm simply here to keep watch.
Veight: Speaking of which, I suggest you be more vigilant of your surroundings.
(Captain) suddenly notices the monsters gathering around them.
Veight: Hey, mortals. Ready your weapons.
Veight: You'll have to answer to me if you let anything happen to Vania!
Fall of the Dragon - Chapter 3: Light, Shine! Shadow, Creep! - Episode 1: Scene 2
Vania is tired of seeing her brethren become victims and vows to take out the primal beast that may be the culprit. They need to enter Medvecia's castle to be sure, but entry is strictly forbidden.
With the monsters defeated, the party gathers up what it can and prepares to return to Medvecia.
Vania: Heeheehee! Look at how much we picked!
Rackam: Oh boy, we grabbed so much that even the Grandcypher might have trouble carrying it all.
Veight: This should be more than enough to fill up Malinda.
Vania: What are you looking so proud of yourself for? In the end, you didn't lift a finger!
Veight: I was given orders by Feldrac, and I don't go against orders. That's also a law, is it not?
Vania: There you go again! You're the worst, Veight! Why don't you go somewhere else!
Veight: Sigh.
Veight, with a clouded look on his face, moves away from the group.
Vyrn: Hmm... that was one heavy sigh.
Rackam: Looks like these laws and customs are really important to vampires.
Vania: What a dummy. I'm really starting to hate him.
Rackam: Now, now, can't you try to understand his side a little?
Vania: Oh, so you want to perish too, Rackam?
Rackam: W-what? Where did you get that from?
Vania: I'm a vampire, and vampires drink blood. Isn't that what they say about us?
Lyria: That's what it seems like, but you don't plan on drinking (Captain)'s blood and making (Captain) your bloodkin, do you Vania?
Vania: ...?
Vania: I haven't bitten (Captain) yet, but (Captain)'s already my bloodkin.
Lyria: Huh? Is that true, (Captain)?
Rackam: Don't worry, Lyria. The princess is just being stubborn.
Vania: Ooh, just you wait! I'm definitely going to drink (Captain)'s blood someday and make (Captain) a proper bloodkin!
Rackam: I got it, I got it. So, why do vampires drink blood anyway?
Vania: Uh, actually we've stopped drinking blood.
Lyria: Why did you stop drinking blood?
Vania: Well, a king from a long time ago said our powers were too strong.
Vania: Whenever we met other people, we'd always attack them, even over the little things.
Vania: That's when we chose to hide from the outside world.
Vania: So we confined ourselves to Medvecia. It seems we decided to slowly let ourselves die out.
Vania: Those with power spend their lives just worrying about dying with pride and honor.
Rackam: I see. Compared to us, vampires have completely different values.
Vania: Right? It's totally strange, isn't it? There's no way I'll perish like that!
Vyrn: What's up with that? So those guys live for the sake of pride.
Rackam: You know, I can see why you hate the vampire ways but...
Vyrn: Do you really not care about what happens to the island? You're the princess, aren't you?
Vania: Uunh...
Vania: Honestly, though, I really want to do something to help.
Vania: They're a bunch of stubborn old vampires who are obsessed with laws and customs.
Vania: But even so, I don't hate Veight or Feldrac or any of the others.
Lyria: Vania...
Lyria: In that case, let's work together!
Vania: Hm? But what should we do?
Rackam: It might be that the problems in Medvecia are being caused by a primal beast.
Vania: Aha! Then all we need to do is take care of this primal beast!
Rackam: Oh, you're one step ahead of us, Vania! Let's take out the primal beast!
Vyrn: When we were hit by that light from the tower, that's when you felt it, right?
Lyria: Yes, if we go to the castle, I'm sure we can confirm—
Veight: Wait. There's no way you're thinking about heading into the castle.
Vania: Why not? We need to take out the primal beast in order to save everyone!
Veight: Absolutely not! Even among vampires, that's a sacred building that only a select few may enter!
Veight: Mortals may never be allowed to enter, no matter what the circumstances may be!
Rackam: All right, all right. You don't have to yell like that.
Veight: It simply can't be allowed. Under no circumstances, Vania.
Vania: No fair!
With the mood soured by another fight between Veight and Vania, the party boards the Grandcypher to return to Medvecia.
