01x07 - Eiyuu Sensou

[bunniefuu]

Light and Darkness.

The final battle of the gods
cl*max in a clash between

Marfa, Goddess of All Creation,
and Kardis, Goddess of Destruction.

At the end of their fierce battle,
the stricken goddesses

had split the continent,
forming a new land.

Since then, people have
come to call this new continent

"Lodoss--The Accursed Island.”

The way that you
embrace me from behind

The words of your land
you softly whisper to me

Romantic in a way that
almost tears at my heart

I am your prisoner

lo sono prigioniera

Tonight you have gently bound
me up within your arms, my love

And even if the morning sun
rose upon the both of us

It wouldn't shine near as
bright as your dark eyes do to me

"The w*r of Heroes"

The head of the column
with the strongest knights.

What've I got to worry about?

Rather foolish of you.

In a free-for-all, this would
be the most dangerous spot.

The enemy would aim
at this section first.

You sound pretty sure of yourself.

It's basic tactics.

I see, I see.

Forgive me!

Kashue's division is under
attack by a horde of creatures!

We need reinforcements!

What of their main force?

No sign.

Damn you, Beld...
Using these monsters!

An army of creatures?

He's using them as battle fodder.

There could be thousands--
tens of thousands of them.

King Kashue.

Here they come again!

Keep your eyes open!

Stand firm! They're no
better than animals!

Scowl! Shout! Threaten!

Prince Jester!

So, even the great mercenary king
lacks eyes in the back of his head!

And so, it begins.

Is your heart galloping faster than
your horse's legs, Sir Knight?

Best reign it in, or it'll be of no
use to you when the time comes.

My son gave this to me, for luck.

What should we do?

If we allow them to join up,
they'll be an even bigger threat!

The plan is to drive our
prey into the hunting ground.

My lord, the prey
are almost in the trap.

King Kashue!

You've come!

Yes, sire!

Fahn!

We're boxed in!

Where are they?

Here they come!

Beld!

Fahn.

They're behind us, too!

Well, damn!

We're trapped like rats in a bag.

Parn! Get ready for them!

Parn!

Go to him, Etoh.

Slayn.

We can't stop it now.

Whether we're swept into the storm
or avoid it, it's all the same.

Even if they manage to win, now...

Lodoss will be saved
by w*r. Ridiculous!

It would seem that
Karla believes otherwise.

However, we have our
own battle to wage.

One different from that
of Parn and the rest.

Damn you, witch!

Did King Fahn give
you orders to slay me?

You became his enemy the minute
you sided with the Marmo!

Shall I support Valis, then?

What?!

It makes no difference to me.

I must thank Fahn and Wort for
allowing me to meet my new pawns.

Wort! Is that how
you feel about all this?!

That boy may be the one.

Princess! We've just received
word from the b*ttlefield.

The situation is grave.

I understand.

It's him.

It's him!

A sword isn't a toy.

What?!

Let me demonstrate its proper use!

Why, you...!

Parn!

Wait.

I don't need you.

Beld! Beld!

Where are you? Where are you?

Where are you?!

Surely you haven't forgotten my face!
Surely you haven't forgotten my face!

--Come back here!
--Parn!

The end is finally approaching.

Beld!

Beld! Beld!

Beld!

It's been a long time.

The past is closed to us.
This is the only way left.

Old friend.

Very well, Fahn.

Must this be our fate, Beld?

You will not have Lodoss!

I never wanted to conquer it!

Unification, conquest...
It's all the same!

Lodoss will never be
united or conquered.

Highness!

Parn! You must stop Karla.

Parn!

Wort?

Even if this w*r ends,

Lodoss will never know peace
as long as she still lives.

What do you mean?

Karla believes this is in
Lodoss' best interests, but now...

You're saying if we k*ll Karla,
we'll stop this w*r?

That I cannot say for certain.
But the tragedy to come.

"Tragedy"? What do you mean?

Karla doesn't consider herself
a mere human anymore.

Living these last 500 years
has unbalanced her.

If we allow her meddling
to continue unchecked,

Lodoss could face
even greater disasters.

To prevent this...

...remove the circlet from
her forehead. That is her true self!

Parn, what's wrong?

Why did Wort...?

Age hasn't changed us much.

I'll live long enough
to see you dead!

My feelings exactly.

Sire!

Lodoss can be neither
conquered nor united.

Everyone! Get under cover
before you're blown away!

Sire.

Wait, we can't just...

The dead return to the soil of Lodoss.

Such is the fate of knights.

Such is the way of w*r.

The nameless are like dust.

No one shall come to lay
flowers by their graves.

Only those who earned their
names are ever remembered.

My son gave me this, for luck.

Parn.

This isn't right. It isn't right!

You must stop Karla.

Or else Lodoss may face
an even worse disaster!

A w*r without meaning.
A w*r which saved no one.

But now, still another
battle must be fought.

As he stood amidst a sea of bodies,

the young man vowed to
challenge the witch, Karla.

Let the wonders come to me

The Fantasia fills my heart

I shall not wander anymore,
all for the love I have for you

The fairies of the wind,
spread their wings out to fly

Racing at the speed of light,
down through the valley of time

Our falling in love was destiny

On this night which
seems to have no end

Eternity awaits you and me,
now that you are here

Lay down your head upon my breast,
and go to sleep, my love
