04x10 - The Life We Live

[bunniefuu]

It's over now.

It won't take long
for her memories to return.

Once she regains all of her memories…

Elizabeth will die in three days.

Elizabeth is going to die?

You're joking, right?

Captain.

That's our destiny.

It's not necessary
to keep it from you anymore.

I'll tell you all everything.

The goal of my , -year journey.

This is a tale of ancient times,

when the human and non-human worlds
had not yet split.

The Ten Commandments,
the Demon Clan's elite troops,

have been released
from a , -year-old seal.

Their rule extends over all of Britannia,
and a dark age approaches.

After a deadly struggle, the Kingdom
of Liones drove back the Ten Commandments.

The counteroffensive to liberate Britannia
was about to begin.

Standing in that vanguard is the pride of
the kingdom, a legendary order of knights.

They're called the Seven Deadly Sins.

Three thousand years ago,
at the height of the Holy w*r,

they punished me and Elizabeth
for the crime we had committed.

For the crime of being a Demon
who supported the Goddess Clan,

and then betrayed
and k*lled his own comrades,

and for the crime of being a Goddess
who united with one of the Demon Clan,

and even saved her enemies.

Punished? By who?

By two gods.

The ruler of the Demon Clan,
the Demon King.

And the leader of the Goddess Clan,
the Supreme Deity.

We were hopelessly outmatched
by their overwhelming power…

and we both lost our lives.

Or so we thought.

I don't know how much time had passed.

Whether it was one day or several.

But I woke up.

My wounded body
was completely restored back to normal.

But…

Elizabeth lay dead next to me.

Without any idea
of what had happened to us,

all I could do was continue to cry
while holding Elizabeth's body in my arms.

While I was unconscious,
the Holy w*r had ended.

Then I noticed that
I had completely stopped aging.

Alone, I aimlessly wandered Britannia,
which was still scarred by the Holy w*r…

when we were reunited.

It was Elizabeth,
though she was supposed to be dead.

She didn't have wings,
but there was no mistake.

That's what my gut, my instinct told me.

The only one who felt that way…

was me.

Born as a member of the savages,
Elizabeth quickly opened her heart to me,

and showed me affection.

One day, something strange happened
to Elizabeth's right eye,

and her powers were awakened
at the same time.

Her healing powers manifested
along with the symbol of the Goddess Clan.

It was the Goddess Clan's magical power.

I was convinced.

She really was
the reincarnation of Elizabeth.

For her to be reborn

with the same appearance, voice,
and even the same name…

Thinking back on it now,
it was a strange story,

but I was thrilled,
and did my best to tell her all about it.

That was the trigger,

and Elizabeth started to remember
fragments of her previous life.

Eventually, when the symbol also appeared
in her left eye…

I remember everything.

That's great, Elizabeth!

Listen closely.

You and I have each been inflicted
with a curse.

A curse?

What kind?

I'll explain it to you.

But first, I want you to promise me.

That no matter what happens,
even if I die again,

you'll someday lift this--

-What are you--
-Swear it!

All right.

Even if you die,
I'll fulfill my promise to you.

Thank you.

All right, I'll tell you.

Three days later…

Elizabeth d*ed right before my eyes.

The curses your father
and my mother inflicted on us…

Eternal Life and Perpetual Reincarnation.

You'll never age,
and you'll be resurrected even if you die,

I will repeatedly live short lives
as a Human,

each time forgetting
the memories of my past life.

And if by some chance I completely regain
all my memories from my past life,

no matter what happens
or what's protecting me,

I will inevitably die in three days.

That's not all.

Every time I'm reincarnated,
I'll be reunited with you,

fall in love with you,

and without fail,
I'll die before your eyes.

It's been , years, and in that time,
I've met and been with Elizabeths.

One of the Elizabeths…

Meliodas!

What's wrong, Elizabeth?

So the curse still hasn't been lifted.

…regained her memories
when she was a child.

Elizabeth!

Stay back!

And right before my eyes…

Then there was another Elizabeth who…

You're a mysterious person, aren't you?

It's like time has stopped only for you.

Meliodas, when I die,

I want you to forget me
and find someone special.

…never regained her memories
during her lifetime,

and quietly drew her last breath
before my eyes.

Then there was the catalyst
that led to this Elizabeth's birth,

the incident in Danafall years ago.

With Merlin's help, I'd been searching
for a way to remove the curse.

The Coffin of Eternal Darkness?

The ritual relic the Goddess Clan used,
with the other races' combined strength,

to seal the Demon Clan.

Use it to remove the Goddess Clan's seal
and revive the Ten Commandments.

The Ten Commandments? What for?

Zeldris.

He wields the power
lent to him by the Demon King.

Therefore, he might be able
to remove the curse on you.

I can't.

Releasing the Ten Commandments
into the world would be too dangerous.

Right now, I don't have the power I had
when I led the Ten Commandments.

Besides,

I'm sure Zeldris absolutely hates me.

There's no chance he would help me.

All right, Meliodas.

Let's keep searching for another way.

Sorry, Merlin.

We've known each other for so long.

The Coffin of Eternal Darkness…

But by that time,
a member of the Demon Clan

had already assembled the pieces
of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.

It was Fraudrin.

He'd been revived by a wizard of Danafall
who worshipped the Demon Clan.

To break the Goddess Clan's seal,
he needed the blood of a Goddess.

However, the Goddess Clan
no longer existed.

Fraudrin performed a ritual by sacrificing
all the Humans living in Danafall

to attempt to revive the Ten Commandments.

Dark clouds enveloped Danafall,
and beasts came from the Demon Realm.

Offer them to me!

The embrace that binds you,
and the kiss that shackles you.

Liz!

Liz! Where are you?

Answer me!

Liz!

Hey! Hang in there!

Hey!

I'm sorry.
I couldn't protect this town in the…

Why?

Why is this happening?

Why?

After offering all this Human blood,
the ritual still isn't complete.

Does this mean the seal can't be broken
unless it's the actual blood of a Goddess?

Meliodas!

Meliodas, where are you? Please answer me!

Meliodas!

It's surprising to see a Human unfazed
by the miasma of the Demon Realm.

No, you're not Human.

And your face looks familiar.

That's right, you look exactly
like the Goddess Elizabeth,

who fought against us
alongside that traitor!

You monster! You're not making any sense!

Well, I thought this was pointless,
but I guess not.

Since it allowed me to find
the sacrifice I was really after!

How dare you do this
to the people of Danafall!

Liz!

Meliodas…

You're…

Don't cry.

We'll meet again.

Again…

Again, I couldn't save you.

I'm sorry, Elizabeth!

You won't stop me
from reviving the Ten Commandments.

I don't know
how much longer I can take this.

For the next three days and nights,

the flames engulfing Danafall
continued to burn,

and overcome by a sense of loss
and helplessness,

all I could do was stand there.

Hang in there.

Please! I don't have much longer.

Please, look after this child.

Elizabeth.

One hundred and six.

Until now, I've watched Elizabeths
draw their last breaths.

No matter how many times
I go through this, I never get used to it.

Elizabeth made me promise
to remove the curse

in order to release me
from this suffering.

I'm really sorry that
I've had to deceive you all like this.

Wait!

If the curse is removed…

then what will happen to you
and Elizabeth?

Our Eternal Life
and Perpetual Reincarnation will end.

That's the goal of my journey.

But…

But no…

Diane.

Then you two will…

Well, there might be other things
that could be said…

No! I don't want to…

Diane, what do we need to do right now?

Make our way to Camelot.

We'll do that.

Let's just focus
on the objective in front of us for now.

Our objectives are to rescue the hostages
and liberate Camelot.

However, it's currently protected

The site it's originating from…

is here.

The fortified city, Coland.

A huge m*ssacre occurred
a few centuries ago

and the city was destroyed.

Coland?

That sounds familiar for some reason.

We'll head there
and eliminate that distortion.

by a dimensional distortion
that's impervious to magical power.

We're finally here.

The fortified city, Coland.

Now then…

Let's hurry up
and disable the dimensional distortion

and then storm Camelot, okay?

Captain.

There's someone on the bridge.

Did you come here for Elizabeth's sake?

Why is he here?

That means she must still be alive.

What a stubborn woman.

Meliodas, this is a trap!

You should stop being such a sl*ve
to that woman.

Meliodas!

ALL ABOUT THE COFFIN OF ETERNAL DARKNESS

This bit in the middle is that
Dragon Handle you had, right, Meliodas?

Yes.

The Coffin of Eternal Darkness

is a relic that sealed away
the Demon Clan.

The Demon Clan were desperate
to get their hands

on the Coffin of Eternal Darkness
so they could break the seal.

-It would make a nice potlid, too!
-Don't even try it.
