01:14Hold Mr. Rivers! Please lend us a blade!
01:21I am Arthur Snow of Greymoor! The world is in chaos! I don't lack soldiers, not generals, nor courage! What
01:30I lack is a blade to wield the Emperor's fate! I will make this world mine!
01:35I am Leonard Whizemore of North Vale! Old Sir, I am not here to conquer the world! North Vale is
01:40a harsh land! It freezes every year! Our crops fail! Our people eat grass roots! They strip bark and trade
01:46children for food! I have 100,000 soldiers! But I have no food! I have a vast domain! But nothing
01:51grows in the fields! I want the people of North Vale to have enough to eat!
01:57I am Henry Hanley of South Mark! My 3,000 riders! We're wiped out at Maple Fort three days ago!
02:04I escaped! I was the only one! My 3,000 brothers! The youngest was just 16! The night before we
02:11left, his mother chased us for miles! Just to give him two boiled eggs! I want my 3,000 brothers
02:16back!
02:16I am Edward Hawke of Stonefield! Old Sir, I am not here for the throne! Stonefield City! 37,000 women,
02:22children, and the elderly! We've been out of food for 7 days! The General is already discussing surrender! When the
02:28city falls, all men will be killed! The women will be made camp followers! The children will be sold! I
02:33don't want to be Emperor! I just want those 37,000 people to live, to see, next, straight!
02:39Old Mr. Rivers! Please lend us a blade!

03:30will give me half their fortune!
03:33this is, the Fate Blade! It controls life and death!
03:36Whoever wields it, can extend life, and raise the dead! In fifteen years,
