- Shigure:
- I know. Which is why you spared me.
- Thank you, Mother.
- Azura:
- My time is almost up, I'm afraid.
- I'm sorry to have to lead you down the
- one path I never wished for you.
- Before I go, I must teach you the rest
- of the song.
- Shigure:
- There's more to it?
- Azura:
- Yes. When I sang, I failed to use the
- song's full potential.
- There is a fourth verse that holds
- tremendous, dangerous power.
- I've wondered why I remain here, and I
- believe it's to teach you that verse.
- Remember when I told you that you can
- use the pendant as I could?
- Shigure:
- Yes, but you warned me never to do so.
- Azura:
- There is no other way now. You have
- more potential within than I ever did.
- The power flowing through you is equal
- to that of the ancient kings of Valla.
- Shigure:
- You never told me much of them.
- Azura:
- That's a pity. There are wonderful stories
- of the king from Anankos's time.
- Mighty Cadros, the first King of Valla,
- was a staunch friend to the dragon.
- I never knew him except through
- the songs and portraits.
- But you have much in common with
- him...both in appearance and power.
- Shigure:
- Then it really must be me.
- Azura:
- I'm sorry, Shigure. I had hoped you'd
- never need to learn this verse.
- If I could, I would have kept it from
- everyone. Its power is too dreadful.
- I know firsthand what it will do to you.
- Shigure:
- You're worried that I'll fade away.
- Just like you did.
- Azura:
- ...Yes.
- Shigure:
- But that's just one possibility—not the
- inevitable.
- I promise I'll succeed, Mother. I'll save
- this world.
- And then everyone who faded away can
- come back...including you.
- Azura:
- Yes.
- Shigure:
- Then there's no time to lose. Please
- teach me the rest of the song.
- Azura:
- One last thing first...
- Shigure:
- I'm listening.
- Azura:
- I love you, Shigure.
- Whatever obstacles lie in the path
- you've chosen...
- I'll always be there, helping you over
- them.
- Shigure:
- Mother...you're making this sound like
- the last time we'll speak.
- If I succeed, we'll see each other again.
- You weren't misleading me, right?
- Azura:
- Perish the thought, Shigure.
- You're completely right, of course.
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Even if my body decays or my mind
- fails, I live on in someone's memory.
- Every time you remember me, you call
- me there to your side.
- Shigure:
- I'll hold you to that, Mother.
- Azura:
- I'll sing the rest of the song for you
- now. Listen carefully.
- *ahem*...
- In endless dreams...countless
- realms collide ♪
- Hope falls only to rise like
- the changing tide ♪
- But all dreams come to an end...
- Just whispers on the wind. ♪
