01x24 - Eclipse

Post by bunniefuu »

Feel no shame about shape.

Weather changes the phrase.

Even mother will show you another way.

So, put your glasses on.

Nothing will be wrong.

There's no blame, there's no fame.

It's up to you.

The first words should be found.

Whatever holds you back.

I can I can get it off.

Tell me what Tell me what Tell me what you want.

I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why you are afraid.

Tell me what Tell me what Tell me what you'd say.

I don't know why I don't know why Too late It's too late.

What is this?

Where the hell are we?

Hey!

Weren't we just riding over the grassy plains?

Or were we just dreaming as we rode along?

Or without realizing it d- d-did we all just die?

Calm down!

Calm down?

How the hell are we going to calm down?

Quiet!

Everyone, compose yourselves!

Forget about what you can't understand!

Focus on what you can do!

Everyone, make a tight formation!

No one is to stray from the group!

Guts, get Griffith on your horse!

Got it!

Hurry up, over there!

Under these circumstances She's one hell of a woman.

All right Griffith, here we go.

What is this doing here?

I know for sure Griffith didn't have this when we rescued him.

This strange shape Griffith.

The time has come Time for the midnight festival The banquet that happens only once in 216 years The Great Eclipse!

Where did they come from What the hell are they?

He is coming His presence is imminent The King of the supreme beings It is the advent of the four guardian angels!

What the What is it?

A giant?

One after the other I'm dreaming This has to be a dream!

What next?

What the hell is going on?

It is time for the blessing.

Welcome to this final chapter The final destination for you, our sacred baby lambs.

Enjoy this holy banquet to the fullest.

Chosen by fate Our Apostle, our Hawk!

You are the appointed one.

Here in this place, in this moment You who have been chosen by the hand of God.

We are your kinsmen And presently, you'll be our blessed King!

Griffith?

Kinsmen?

Griffith is a Cut the crap!

You drag us into this God forsaken place and on top of that you think you can say whatever the hell you want!

Apostle?

Kinsmen?

Don't be ridiculous!

There's not one shred of him that resembles the likes of you!

Don't you dare put him in the same boat as you freaks!

Guts!

What a beautiful friendship.

You will certainly be an excellent sacrificial offering A sacrifice?

Yes.

The precious sacrifice that is necessary for him to become a demon.

Demon Sacrifice?

Exactly.

From the moment you took hold of the Crimson Behelit You were qualified to become a demon.

In fact, it is because you inherently possessed the predestined requirements that the Behelit fell into your hands.

And the fact you used the Behelit to summon us is proof that you are qualified to become one of us.

All the corpses that have gathered here have used Behelits to take on the form they were destined to assume.

You don't mean that So all the demons really are And the Behelit you hold in your hand is no ordinary Behelit!

The crimson Behelit falls only into the hands of us guardian angels, those destined to become members of the God Hand.

The Egg of the King.

And all of you are here to serve as sacrificial offerings for the christening of this angel You're saying that you will transform Griffith into one of these beasts?

In exchange for our lives?

Not quite.

It will be his will, not ours.

It is he who will offer you as sacrifices That's impossible It's impossible.

It is all fixed in the flow of destiny When his fate was fixed long ago your lives were spun in to the web of his destiny by being chosen as the sacrificial offerings for this final moment.

We will now begin the Baptism ceremony.

Bring him to the altar!

What the Guts!

Griffith!

Baptism!

Baptism!

Baptism!

Baptism!

Baptism!

Are you afraid?

Of us?

Of those who are infinitely more powerful than you?

Of our almighty power?

Or is it the future?

Before we venture in to the future, let us venture back once more to the landscape of your past You shall know the truth.

And see exactly what it is you are What?

Did everyone go home?

We all said we were going to see the castle.

Oh well I'll go by myself.

Hey, where am I?

I think I'm lost.

Hey, old lady.

Which way is the castle?

This way?

Thank you.

Yes, yes.

Your friends went ahead, they'll be waiting.

I think I've ended up somewhere I shouldn't be.

Hey, anybody there?

You are a noisy child!

Old lady, it's horrible!

There are so many dead people I know You know?

That's terrible, you knew and you lied to me.

I didn't lie.

This is the only path that leads to the castle.

The only path Those who are heading towards the castle must either step over those who have fallen, or become one of them and remain here.

See here, it's your friend!

Y-You're You're going to the castle to become King, aren't you?

You're amazing!

I want to be a knight one day See?

Hey Take me with you.

I'll give you this if you do.

I'll work hard, I promise.

All right?

No What?

Why not?

No, I can't Because you're already You're already dead Take us with you too We want to fight with you I believe you can make it to the castle I would love to see the empire you'll build I want to fight under your flag No You can't I can't take you with me You're all dead None of you are alive anymore!

That's why I can't take any of you to the castle!

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Well, well, what a child you are.

You must know that it's your fault that these people ended up this way.

Isn't that so?

It is by following your lead that they ended up this way If you hadn't said that you wanted to venture up there then none of this would have happened.

But I never forced anyone to come along Oh, what a thing to say!

How do you think you were able to come thus far?

Listen now!

The cobblestones that pave this path you have taken are made from dead bodies.

And that's not all.

Those people have laid three, four, five fold more cobble stones with bodies of others they k*lled so that you could get to where you are now.

There, take a look If you are to make it all the way to the castle you will need to pave your path with many more stones What's wrong?

Are you scared now?

Do you want to turn back now?

You can't think like that!

If you let your fears conquer you you will become just like one of these cobblestones.

Look closely now at your own hands.

My hands!

What a silly boy!

If you were going to end up regretting your actions you should have never come here in the first place.

This is not such a soft place!

Why couldn't you be satisfied by simply gazing at the castle from an alleyway?

I I didn't know Be quiet!

You must have known what kind of place this was!

Known all along and walked all over them to get here What are you saying now?

This is the path that leads to your dream, isn't it?

That's what you believe, right?

Why are you stalling after all that's happened?

That's right, now go lay those stones.

It's not too late.

You have no other choice!

Before you become one of them, lay those cobblestones!

Yes.

What is the point of regretting anything?

What's the use in repenting my sins?

What can I possibly say to those who have d*ed?

I cannot apologize to them now.

This is the path that I have chosen.

If I regret my actions or apologize for them, then it's all over.

And I will never reach my destined goal Yes.

That is who you are.

An illusion?

Not an illusion.

It is the reality in your consciousness.

Reaching for the castle in the heavens Stacking cobblestones to the highest summit, that is your destiny.

You have come thus far Stepping over the thousands of stones that are your brothers and the tens of thousands of stones they paved for you.

Disregarding what or who they were You carried only one thought in your mind And now you have reached the end of the path.

Look around The gift at the final destination of your bloody journey.

All the wings that carried you above your comrades Each pair of wings Surely they will forgive you Although they imagine they have fallen into despair They will welcome you with open arms And you shall live on Entrust your wounded soul with them Leave your past behind And bury yourself in the debris of your dreams.

The debris of my dreams That is the punishment of God.

But if your dream is still alive If that castle still gleams in your eyes You must stack the remaining stones that surround you Let us chant This we offer!

Hesitation will not grant the black wings to fly from the mountain tops to the heavens.

Fate frees one from human reasoning If reason sees children only as toys, then by the Laws of Karma a child must embrace the evil within and face fate!

Griffith!

Yes Out of all the thousands of comrades and tens of thousands of enemies.

Only one You and you alone You allowed me to forget my dream I offer myself.

Griffith.

The threads of destiny are now bound together The promised time has come!
