A long, long time ago, the king wrote a letter instructing, "Kill and bury them immediately."

The once-dark land no longer needs shining stars to highlight it.

We are hunters of utmost patience.

We must be cautious against the Eclipsites. Even if we don't hate them, destroying them is still the right choice.

I proposed that Frostfire should leave, which enraged her enough to incinerate my garb.

It is a fact that Regal causes more trouble than Frostfire.

This was never my choice, but passing on these ancient stories is now my duty.

I have no hatred, but my apathy does affect my judgment occasionally.

If you seek my opinion... You must be careful and not let it be a weapon.

A story from a long, long time ago... No, I'm not much for telling stories, but I must tell them to you.

Continue with the story? Okay, we pick up several years later, when the stars are dim.

Once more, no one escapes.

I'm just doing my job.

Into the woods.

Into the wild.

The night of hunters.

It's time to hunt.

Oh forest, my forest, I hope you will hear my troubles... That's an old children's song, but I forgot how to sing it, so I can only recite it.

Still relying on this?

Alchemy Stars...?

I miss the day when the world renews.

A long, long time ago, in a forest full of cedar and cypress, there was a white city built out of stone, and in it lived a princess wearing deerskin.

A long, long time ago, there were five heroes. They came to the frigid snowfields and defeated the terrible Eclipsites, but the King... Ah, this part always makes Frostfire mad.

A long, long time ago, it was a dark night in the kingdom when five people left for a place far away, bought the moon and brought the stars back...

Have you seen my friends? One was snuffed out, one was sealed, one was lost, and one was carrying a sword... Were left there...

We are but one of the many stars whose light shines upon the people. However, the dimmed stars can only embrace their humiliation alone.

Why do I always tell the tales of long, long ago? If you want to know, I'm someone who lives in the past.

The visitor went into the stone city, and though the princess in deerskin admitted that the deer was important, she no longer cared.

A long, long time... Make sure that I cannot go with you. I must be with the dim stars... No, it's not "go" in the physical sense but the emotional variety.

From now on, these tales are yours to tell, as you're still young and will be here after we're gone... No, wait, that is not a certainty.

If the stars turn into a meteor and fall, they might destroy the land that has fought so hard to attain peace.

The five came to an intersection. Someone said, "This is where we must part."

That day, I choose to accept Claymore's attack and his decision to sever all ties.

I miss the day when the world renews.

I guess only you and other pure creatures would be willing to get close to me.

How long have I slumbered? Welcoming the morning like this... is truly something to be treasured.

Among the twisting roots, a heartless soul awakens... Do you not regret awakening me?

In the night, along the cold, dim passage of the dead... This is the only place we can meet.

I miss the day when the world renews.

Who are you? Ah, I see it's a new story. A long, long time ago, the wind passing through the tainted forest, awoke the dimmed stars.

What's this?

Perhaps I can recall how precious "good intention" is.

How marvelous, vintage yet novel.

I believe I should smile.

Hunt in the glory of life.

Into the night to welcome the dawn.

Moonlight, illuminate my prey.

A long, long time ago, the five Stars vanished without fanfare, like the tales written after their birth... But the question remained, "Isn't there only four of you?"

To fill in the gaps, Frostfire was always enraged; Regal kept silent; Requiem never smiled; Claymore rejected my proposal but still picked up a sword...

Finally, the skeleton of the storytelling deer gazed at the visitor in the moonlight... It knew that you would understand everything about the five, and was grateful.

Annihilate as many foes as possible.
