- And then?

- Oh, this part is good.

Xia will open the doorway

to the Nether Worlds.

You were saying?

Thus ending our very existence.

It's all so dire.

You see, sister, there's no bounty

too great for saving this world.

Say we fancy the idea for a moment.

And that there is this massive

bounty in gold, of course.

Aye, what makes you think us three here

can stop this Vampire Queen?

I told her we're lovers not fighters.

When need to have a plan,

something less daunting, more rewarding.

- I am at a loss.

- We should take the traditional action,

and hire mercenaries,

like our dear father.

Yes, yes,

but we're under time constraints.

In only a fortnight

the moon will be full.

- I have a thought.

- It was only a matter of time.

Malia, you will find father and see

if he has any ideas on the matter,

and I with what funds to princess

has on her presently

will arrange for a dozen armed men.

Not just any men,

no, no, no, but the type with honor

and courage enough to win back Abelar.

By the gods I've heard that there are

experienced barbarians in nearby Primeria,

precisely the type of warriors

that we needs. So, the Princess...

she can wait here at Durris for our return,

you know, holding down the fortress

- sort of thing.

- Or let us split the funds you possess,

give us both a chance to hire

the best warriors we can find on our way.

Aye, that could work as well.

Well, sister?

You take me as a fool at your own peril.

You are both much less

than I'd hoped.

At the prison I spoke to the magistrate

and he gave me your recent histories,

- theft, assault, cheating, embezzling...

- Right.

- Pick pocket and street whore?

- I have never picked a pocket.

You're both are the lowest

of character,

but my sister was firm

and we must find our father

and you are my only hope.

We'll need horses.

I can acquire them.

- Are there other brothers and sisters?

- Ah, yeah, yeah,

she's a day's ride away

in a village called Chiba

Agreed then to Chiba Village.

Our father still lives?

I suppose. Last summer he was

carousing in the secret of Nobu.

That was years ago.

The dog is likely dead as a cock, though,

rotting in some dungeon.

- 55.

- 50.

And I suggest we seal this fast.

What's going on, sir?

Having an adventure, sister?

- A b*tch dog.

- Come to lose again?

It isn't long now.

An entire new world.

I use Xia's body as a conduct.

It's a doorway.

What have you learned?

The princess seeks one like her father.

The warrior who helped with Mitadonia.

He can see us fall into the Abyss.

Reduce her to dust.

Should I kill them now,

the Princess and these two fools?

Learn the whereabouts of this father.
