             A long time ago, before gods and men were separated.

                                Trakia (Thrace)

                                     ARION
                               Mother -- Mother!
                                    Mother!

                                     HADES
                           But, I don't understand.
                You were told by the mother goddess of Olympus.
                  To be contented with this kind of life. . .
       Say, Demeter, it's just that you've forgotten that incident of long ago.
                               When that rascal,
                              Poseidon, came. . .
                          I opposed that completely.
             Now, some place, over there, is under his management.
                Zeus is returning to his settlement at Olympus.
          What are the heavenly gods, anyway -- They'll end up dying.
                                    *Spit!*

                                    DEMETER
                                    Arion!
                             Are you still awake?
               Should a child eavesdrop on the talk of adults?!
                             Go to sleep quickly!
                            Hades, just as you see,
              there is only Arion and his way of life for me now.
                 Listening to your idle complaints is useless.
                Please go back, quickly, to your own country!!

                                     HADES
                                     Heh!
                                     ARION
                                     Well?
                              This is digitalis.
            Grinding it into a powder, it will bring down a fever.
                               This is mugwort.
          Mixing it with stinging nettles, will make wound medicine.

                                     ARION
                                     Look!
                          This kind is running skull.

                                     HADES
                        Oh dear, I don't know a thing.
                                  Arion. . .

                                     ARION
                         Mother taught me everything.
                                   But. . .
                                 Poor Mother.
                            Her eyes don't see. . .
         But the drugs to mend eyes don't come from any kind of herb.

                                     HADES
                         It's not that kind of matter.

                                     ARION
                                     No?!

                                     HADES
             In Macedonia, there are the so-called Arcana flowers.
          This type will remedy any kind of eye disease on the spot.

                                     ARION
                                    Really?

                                     HADES
                                     Yes.
                   If you say so, going there is on my way.
              Much can be seen from the mountain pass yonder. . .
                              Will you go, Arion?
                                  With Uncle?

                                     ARION
                                     Yes!

                                    DEMETER
                                    Arion!
                                    Arion!!
                                Where are you?!
                                    Arion!!
                                    Arion!!
                                    Arion!

                                     ARION
                           Uncle, are we there yet?

                                     HADES
                            It's a little further.
                   We will be where the herb is in no time.

                                     ARION
                        B -- But, can't we go back. . .
                                    Uncle!
                                 It's no use!
                              Mother is worried!
                                    Uncle!

                                    DEMETER
                                     Zeus!
             Your brother Hades is taking Arion to the underworld!
                           Are you looking on, Zeus?
                                     Zeus!
                                 Title: Arion

                                     HADES
                                 Why is that?

                                    WOMAN 1
        Neither has he changed in appearance, he's in a fretful state.

                                    WOMAN 2
            Doing that, will it really give him that kind of power?

                                     ARION
                                     No!!
                                 Go that way!
                                   Go away!!

                                     HADES
                                   Gido. . .
                        That fellow is not the way. . .
                                   Cerberus!
                                    Hydra!!

                                     HADES
                                 And so. . .!!
                               That's it . . .!

                                     HADES
                                   Use this!

                                     HADES
                                    Arion!
                I expected you; you have excelled in childhood.
                          You will attain Titanhood.

                                     ARION
                                    Liar!!
                                    Uncle?

                                     ARION
                                    Liar!!

                                     HADES
                 There is no herb to cure your mother's eyes.

                                     ARION
                               You deceived me!!
                                  Return me!
                           Return me to my Mother!!

                                     HADES
                               I can't do that.

                                     ARION
                                     Why?!

                                     HADES
                Because a curse was put on your mother's eyes.

                                     ARION
                                   A curse!?

                                     HADES
                                 That's right.
                 Time cannot free her from that binding curse.
                         Demeter will always be blind.

                                     ARION
                     What do you do to take off a curse!?

                                     HADES
                           Do you want to know that?

                                     HADES
                                Overthrow Zeus.
                                Overthrow Zeus.
                                Overthrow Zeus!
                        Zeus is the unfortunate source!
                    The responsibility for breaking Demeter
                       lies with the whole Titan family.

                                     HADES
                        Zeus is at the western summit.
                        At the royal palace on Olympus!
              With all your heart, fight for your mother's sake!

                                     HADES
                               If you do so. . .
                     Zeus sacrificed you and your mother,
                   and your foolish father Poseidon as well.
                           I fear it was not enough!
                                Go to Olympus!!
             Then, strike Zeus' white head 100 times for Demeter!

                                    TITLES
       The 3 brothers of the Titan family, behind the death of their father,
               King Chronos, were separated into 3 territories.
       The clever youngest, Zeus, became the ruler of Olympus and all things
                                   on land.
                The next, Poseidon, became King of the oceans;
                 and then, the unlucky eldest brother, Hades,
                     became ruler of the dark underworld.
                 But, Zeus and Poseidon were completely equal.
       Poseidon, governing the 7 seas, aimed to march to the overland world.
         Zeus, with the lady chieftain Athena as his complete manager,
                         was beating that fellow away.
              Now the world was only in the confusion of war. . .

                                     ARION
                                      Ah!
                                    Wait!!

                                    SENECA
                                Heh, heh, heh!

                                     Heh!
                                  Farmer. . .
                    See if you can catch the great Seneca!
                                     Hm!?
                                     WAH!

                                    SENECA
                                     WAH!
                                 I'm done for.

                                    SENECA
                                   Damn it!
                            Well, do what you will!
                                 What's this?
                                  Sympathy?!
                                      HA!
                             Give me the reason!!
                       Y -- You're a Titan, aren't you?!
                                 I thought so!
                           I've made up my mind so!
                                Inhuman Titan!
                              Dann you, face me!!

                                     ARION
                                     Gido!

                                     ARION
                                  All right!

                                    ATHENA
                                    I see!
                                  This . . .

                                     ARES
                   Yet the child could easily raise his arm.
                           I saw there is a reason.
                  What shall be done with the thing, Sister?

                                    ATHENA
                                    Hm. . .
       Well then, right now, let's see if we can't ask that boy's body.

                                    ATHENA
                              Get back, Lesphina!

                                     ARES
                                     Talk!
                    Where did you get hold of that sword?!

                                     ARES
                              From Hades' hands?!
                             Why do you have it!?

                                    ATHENA
                                     Talk!
                         What thing of Hades are you?
                       What has Hades breathed into you?
                      You looked up, didn't you, my toy?

                                     ARES
                            Uncle Hades started it.
                           He's an evil rascal. . .
                     Not satisfied with his suitable hell.
                           Using that kind of brat.
                      Is it not evil, starting the thing?

                                     ARION
                             Don't come near me!!

                                     ARION
                                 Lesphina. . .
                          That's your name, isn't it?
                                    Thanks.

                                     ARION
                        It's not painful any more. . .
                                  I'm OK. . .
                                  Thank you.
                               I'm called Arion.
                              You can't talk. . .
                                    so. . .
                                      Ah!

                                     ARION
                                  It's good!!

                                    APOLLO
                                 What's wrong?
                            Continue the song . . .

                                    APOLLO
                             It's a pretty voice.
          But, just a moment, just humming is useless, isn't it. . .
                                 Sing, please.
                              With a loud voice.

                                    APOLLO
                                Sing, Lesphina.

                                    APOLLO
                                     Well?
                                  Give voice.
                                    Sing!!
                               Sing, Lesphina!!

                                     ARES
                   The matter ended despicably, eh, Brother!
                           Get away from that girl!!

                                    APOLLO
                 Oh, dear; But this was such a good place. . .

                                     ARES
                                   Shut up!
       Even if we are blood brothers, this time you will abandon the place!
                               Disappear, fast!!
           This is not the place for you to loiter with your lovers!

                                    APOLLO
                                     Hmph.
                          The setting for a holy war?
                       Certainly, that is not my nature.

                                     ARES
                                      Oh!

                                    APOLLO
                                  Ha, ha. . .
                         I've kept you too long, Ares.

                                     ARES
                                     Hmph.

                                    APOLLO
                        Arion did so often, didn't he?

                                    APOLLO
                   You've kept that boy happy, haven't you?
                         Please take good care of him.
        In any case, after this evening, he has but one night of life.

                                     ARION
                                  Lesphina!!

                                     ARION
                                  All right.
                   It's OK if I so in that valley, isn't it.

                                     ARION
                           Thank you, Lesphina. . .
                            I'll never forget you.
                          Surely I won't forget you,
                but simply doing in this fashion, received. . .
                    Except for my mother, meeting you. . .
                              Farewell, Lesphina.

                                     ARION
                                Forgive me. . .

                                    SENECA
                                 Brother. . .

                                     ARION
                                  You. . .!!

                                    SENECA
                                    Sheesh!
                                     Ouch!
                             After that sword, eh?

                                    SENECA
                        You want to get it back, right?
                                It's this way.
                                    I know.
                                   Come on!
                                    Hurry!

                                    SENECA
                                Leave it to me.
                             This is my specialty.

                                    SENECA
                        As I see it, they borrowed it.
                      They'll have no peace of mind, eh.
                                     Look.
                                   Now. . .

                                     ARES
                                     YOU!!

                                     ARES
                            Don't let him get away!
                                  Seize him!!

                                    APOLLO
                                 Heh, heh. . .

                                    SENECA
                              Wh -- What is it?!

                                      MEN
                              Poseidon has come!
                                It's Poseidon.

                                     ARION
                                 Poseidon. . .

                                    SENECA
                              Th -- That's right.
                                It's Poseidon.

                                    SENECA
                                It'll mean war!
                                   Wow. . .

                                     ARION
                                   Seneca!!

                                      MAN
                     Don't go too far, emboldened rascals!
                           Stop blowing bubbles. . .
                                     Hm?!
                        Have you brought more captives?
                              What, not children?
                             Things like that. . .
                       Hand them to the boat-rowers. . .
                                    Wait!!
                             That's right -- you.
                                Show me that!!
                                   Hmmm. . .
                           I'll take this in charge.
                        I'd best show this to the King.
                     You'll get enough booty someday soon!

                                    SENECA
                                     Hey!
                                  Let me go!
                               Hey, Brother. . .
              As I see it, 1,000 things will be done to us. . .?

                                    SENECA
                                   Amazing!
                        That must be the leader's boat!

                                     ARION
                                   That. . .
                             That's my father. . .

                                    ATHENA
                         The troops are restless. . .
                                  quiet them!
                             We will win the war!

                                    ATHENA
                     The texture of the ground favors us.
                 The enemy will come ruthlessly, into the net.
                 Invite the enemy deeply landward, and strike!
                                   Strike!!
                                  This is it.
                 The iron cavalry of the Titans is matchless!
                          Poseidon will run in fear!
                   The next plan, Ares will cut lengthwise.
                We will separate the enemy into left and right!
              The path of retreat will follow alongside the sea.
                        Cut off the Edmoth detachment!!
                            Pursue them to the sea.
                            They will not do well.
                        Now, Poseidon's one battleship:
         from this cove, nothing can go back to the outer sea unhurt.
                                 All right?!!

                                   POSEIDON
                            Eat, don't be reserved.
                           Ha, ha -- hard to please.
                               Why the sad face?

                                   POSEIDON
                           Refusing my cup was safe.
                           The person is unbending.
                Drink, it's your father's recommendation. . .!
                                      No?
               Very well, cutting my real son is insignificant.
                           The wine will get bitter.

                                     ARION
                                    Father.

                                   POSEIDON
                                     Hm?!

                                     ARION
                               Um, that is. . .

                                   POSEIDON
                          Don't worry, call me that.

                                    SENECA
                                Ow, what is it!
                                 Brother, ow!
                                    Ow. . .

                                     ARION
                                  Father. . .
                        Why are you overthrowing Zeus?
           Why are you not content with the management of the ocean?

                                     ARION
                   Moreover, why did you abandon my mother?

                                   POSEIDON
                                   Hmph. . .
                    Settling the very thing, by inquiring.
                            A man doesn't ask why.
                             Don't use soft words.
                         Zeus and I are water are oil.
                         Although we are both Titans,
                 there's a reason we can't stand side by side.

                                   POSEIDON
       Zeus, by way of official judgment, intended to be at the top, I guess.
                            I don't acknowledge it.
                            He sent Athena's army.
                 Yonder it is, and in what kind of state. ..?

                                     ARION
                                 What kind...?

                                   POSEIDON
              Zeus won't become strong with a young fool, I say.
                  Leaving that kind of little girl in charge.

                                   POSEIDON
                                Ha, ha, ha. . .
                      Have you met your sister, Lesphina?
                     She's your flesh and blood sister. .
                         I heard the news in the wind,
       that she volunteers herself as Athena's palace servant girl. . .

                                   POSEIDON
                                Ha, ha, ha. . .
                                  well, good.
                     All right, I WILL do what I must do!
             See if I can't do what I want with only these hands.
                             I am not like Hades.
                            Let's watch my battle!

                                     HADES
                      The smell, riding on the wind. . .
                        This is the smell of blood. . .
                          Cerberus, magnificent. . .
                           Near the place of battle!

                                   POSEIDON
                                      Go.
       As it's your first battle, don't get impatient about achievement.

                                    ATHENA
                                    Begin!

                                    ATHENA
                            Send down the cavalry!
                           Inform the mass squadron!

                                     ARES
          The third rank's preparation has also been broken through?!

                                     VOICE
                                     Yes!
                      They have not confronted the trick.
                 Already, this official camp is in danger. . .

                                     ARES
                                    Ah. . .
                                   Sister!!

                                    ATHENA
                            Gather the whole army!
                                  I will go!!

                                     VOICE
                                     Wait!
           Wait, if anything should happen to Commander Athena. . .!

                                    ATHENA
                                   Buffoon!
                         This time, Poseidon, I . . .!

                                     ARES
                                 Who's there?!
                                     Who?
                                  Answer me!!

                                     ARES
                                   YOU. . .!
                                Cut him down!!

                                     ARES
                                  Sister. . .

                                      MAN
                                     WAH!

                                    ATHENA
                              You cut down Ares!

                                    ATHENA
                   You're a strong child of fortune, my boy.
                              And you are Arion.
       If I had known it then, with this hand I would have torn you. . .!

                                     ARION
                                    Athena!
                         Now, I really am your enemy!
          As the son of Poseidon, as a warrior, I will cut you down!!

                                     ARION
                               It's my victory!!

                                    ATHENA
                                 Apollo. . .!!

                                    APOLLO
                              Heh, heh, heh. . .
            I don't want to see the blood of my own little sister.
                                Ha, ha, ha. . .

                                     ARION
                                    Wait!!

                                     MAN 1
                               Commander Athena!
                              Are you all right?!
                               Are you wounded?!

                                     MAN 2
                                    Follow!
                             What are you doing?!

                                    APOLLO
                                Ha, ha, ha. . .

                                     ARION
                                     Shit!

                                     WOMAN
                              Lesphina, look out!

                                    APOLLO
                           What's the matter, Arion?
             Could you hear the voice of your beloved in the rain?

                                     ARION
                                   Shut up!!

                                     ARION
                              I won't allow it!!
                        Using this fellow to hinder me!
                                     Who!
                                     Who?!

                                    APOLLO
            Young -- very nearly like a child -- good, aren't you?
                    Who is she, that you can fight for her?
                               She's not a doll.
           Neither you nor anyone else can simply do as you please.
               Still more, you are a Titan; we share that, too.
       The time is coming when you will be born below this troublesome planet.

                                     ARION
                                    A lie!
                                  Hades. . .

                                     HADES
                                 Heh, heh. . .
                    Shocking, to have waken a sleeping dog.
                  Accordingly, you have met with a wasp. . .

                                     ARION
                        Why have you come here, Uncle!

                                     HADES
                             So, you don't listen.
                           It's a depressing place.
                                   Tedious.
                      I just thought I'd see the battle.

                                     ARION
                           You are a rotten person!
               To be jealous of Zeus and Poseidon and the rest,
                         using a small, clever hand --
         me not knowing anything, being manipulated by your words. . .
                                 That's right!
                           You are so ugly, Hades!!

                                     HADES
                              Heh, heh, heh. . .
                             Will you cut me down?
                                   Me. . .?
             Cut me down if you can, but before that, listen well!
                       You're still a child, aren't you.
          You've fooled Poseidon completely, taking the trouble. . .
                                     Good!
                               That rascal. . .

                                     ARION
                                   Shut up!
                           Don't insult my father!!
                        You're the same as Olympus. . .
                            An enemy of my father!!

                                     HADES
                               Don't come near!!
                            It's no use killing me.
                                Somehow, don't!

                                     HADES
                                     Bah!
                  You were forged in the underworld for this.
                        You're forgetting my kindness.
                                    Dunce!!
                     It is good that you should be cursed!
                         Even my death won't save you.
                                 In pain. . .

                                     HADES
               Alone, wherever you are, you will writhe -- Good!

                                    APOLLO
                       You're not well, are you, Athena.

                                    ATHENA
                           I won't let you know. . .
                     What else is like a lost battle. . .?

                                    APOLLO
                                    Hm. . .

                                    ATHENA
          Like you, thanks to me, he had your foolish older brother.
                    Only, which of you is more of a bother!
                  Although I guess your intention was to buy
       my kindness in that affair with Arion, don't think you saved me.
                A very agreeable face you're wearing, isn't it!

                                    APOLLO
                                 Hey, severe.
                  Tonight, I beg you, I came to be agreeable.

                                    ATHENA
                                   You beg?

                                    APOLLO
       Yes, that serving girl of yours -- the one person I especially desire
                               above all others.
                   Hey, that is, isn't she called Lesphina.

                                    ATHENA
                                 Lesphina. . .

                                    APOLLO
                        Won't you give her to me. . .?
           Just a minute, you've ended up fancying her, haven't you?

                                    ATHENA
                                     Yes.
                            Particular, aren't you?
                           So, that young woman. . .

                                   LESPHINA
                                  Arion. . .
                                  Arion. . .
                              What are you doing?

                                     ARION
                                 Who are you?

                                   LESPHINA
                                Ha, ha, ha. . .
                             Won't you follow me?
                          As quickly as you can. . .

                                     ARION
                              Lesphina, you. . .
                            can speak, can't you?!

                                   LESPHINA
                             What are you saying?
                                  Arion. . .
                         You're a strange person. . .
                           Come to me, far away. . .
                             Wouldn't you like to?

                                     ARION
                                 It's no use.
                               I can't go there!
                                   Lesphina!

                                     ARION
                                   Mother!!
              Hey, I have the herb that will make your eyes see!
                         I came the moment I found it!

                                    DEMETER
                              That's not an herb.
                      It's a terrible, poisonous flower.

                                     ARION
                                     Huh!?

                                    DEMETER
                                 Moreover. . .
                                 Who are you?
                         An unknown child, aren't you.
                             An unknown child. . .
                             An unknown child. . .

                                     ARION
                                    Mother!
                                   It's me.
                                   It's me!
                                I've come back!
                                   Mother!!
                                   Mother!!

                                    SENECA
                             Are you OK, Brother?

                                     ARION
                                Ah, Seneca. . .

                                    SENECA
                         It was a terrible nightmare.
                             You had a bad dream?

                                     ARION
                                   Yes. . .

                                    SENECA
            You shouldn't have stood in the rain after the battle.
                         It's a bad cold, surely. . .
                  Say, you came to call Poseidon ``Father''?

                                     ARION
                            It's all right, Seneca.
              If I do that kind of thing, he'll end up laughing.
                           That style of thing. . .
                            negligent rascal . . .

                                    SENECA
                                   But. . .

                                     ARION
                       I'm all right, well, I'll sleep.
                               You, too, Seneca.

                                    SENECA
                                    Really?

                                     ARION
                                 My feet. . .
                                  Heavy. . .
                            Why are they so heavy?
                                   Why. . .?

                                     HADES
                          It's no use killing me. . .
                                 It's no use!

                                     ARION
                                     WAH!

                                    SENECA
                                   Brother!
                              What's the matter?
                                   Brother!!

                                      MEN
                                What's wrong?!

                                    SENECA
                                   Help him!
                                  My brother!

                                      MEN
                       Whatever, he'll bite his tongue!

                                      MEN
                                Hold him fast!

                                    SENECA
                           Please don't be violent!
                             What an illness. . .
                        I'll call his father, Poseidon!

                                     HADES
                             Wherever, go falling!
                       You've been given a cursed life!

                                     HADES
                       It's good that you should fall!!

                                 It's no use!
                                   No use!!

                                    SENECA

                                   POSEIDON
                                     Wait!
                             Accordingly, I . . .

                                     ARION
                                 Still coming?
                                    Hades!!

                                     ARION
                                 Seneca. . .!
                                   Tell me!
                              What have I done?!
                                     Eh?!
                        What have I done to my father!

                                    VOICES
                                     What?
                                What's wrong!?
                              Something strange.
                            An attack in the dark!?
                                 You're wrong.
                An assassin mixed in with the crowd, probably!
                           Mixed in with the crowd?

                                    SENECA
                         It's no use -- staying here!!

                                     ARION
                           I can't run any more. . .

                                    SENECA
                                 It's no use.
        If we loiter in a place like this, we'll be caught right away!

                                     ARION
                      My father is still over there. . .

                                     ARION
                             I -- I can't go. . .

                                    SENECA
                                     Hey!
                            Get a hold of yourself!
                          Do you want to be killed?!

                                     VOICE
                          You won't run any further!

                                      MAN
       You should tremble with much fear, to kill your father, the King!
                      How much will you get from Olympus!

                                     ARION
                                 You're wrong!
                          Me, do that kind of thing?!

                                      MAN
                                   Traitor!!

                                      MEN
                               Un -- Unsheathed!

                                      MAN
                               Don't lose heart!
                            It's the King's enemy!!
                              Heh, heh, heh. . .
                       In any case, this is far enough.
                            Cloaked spy of Olympus!
                                 Prepare. . .

                                     ARION
                                    Gido!!
                             Gido, you're alive?!
                                     Gido!

                                     ZEUS
                                   Erinyes!

                                     ZEUS
                          I have visited the shrine!
                                That is Alecto.

                                    MEGAERA
                               This is Megaera.

                                   TISIPHONE
       I am Tisiphone, and if you agitate us, you will see us, great god Zeus.

                                     ZEUS
                         Welcome, vengeful goddesses.
                                 Look at this!
                                  Look well!

                                     ZEUS
                                It is Poseidon!
                It is arrogance, not to be afraid of the gods.
                            It is death by design!
                    However, he has put his hand to it. . .

                                    ALECTO
                                  He exists.

                                    MEGAERA
       Poseidon, with his sister Demeter, established one set of twins.

                                   TISIPHONE
       Binding that morally wrong association, she fled to Trakia 15 years ago.
                                That Arion. . .

                                     ZEUS
                                It's that way!
                        The pollution of Olympus lives.
                          It is an unfortunate child!
                 That boy raised his hand against his father!
                    The Titans' holy laws have been broken!
                        What is the decision, Erinyes!!

                                    MEGAERA
                                 It is death.

                                    ALECTO
                  To commit the high crime of patricide. . .

                                   TISIPHONE
                          That is the only atonement.

                                     ZEUS
                                  Very well!
                            It is a good judgment!!
              Certainly, Arion's life is entrusted to your hands!

                                    CAPTION
                      Poseidon's troops lost their King.
        The army of the ocean, which had boasted strength, was broken.

                                    SENECA
                                    Sheesh!
                               Small, isn't it.
                                    Really!
            This kind of green wood, it's just starting to pick up.
                  Ah, set well soon, won't you, Brother. . .
                                 It's no use!
                              This is his dinner!
                       I think you've had enough to eat!

                                    SENECA
                              I'm done planning.
                          I can't look after him. . .

                                     ARION
                                 Who's there!

                                BLACK LION KING
                    I have known you since you were a baby.

                                     ARION
                                 Who are you!
                                  Your name?!

                                BLACK LION KING
                     You can call me the Black Lion King.

                                     ARION
                                Lion King.. .?!

                                     ARION
                                 That's a lie!
                          You're Hades, aren't you?!
                                 That's right!
                               I've decided so!
                     That kind of disguise, using a mask.
           I suppose you've come to breathe something into me again!

                                BLACK LION KING
                         Don't be unjustly suspicious.
                                I am not Hades.

                                BLACK LION KING
            Poor thing, he can't see the heavy blow of the law. . .
                           Yet Arion is not broken.
                     One can't show weakness to an enemy.

                                     ARION
                                     Good!
                        However you do it is good. . .
                            I killed my father. . .
                              What good can I do?
                   I don't understand anything any more. . .
                               Don't touch me!!
                                    Broken?

                                     ARION
                                    Enemy?
                            What about the enemy?!
                               What is not good?
                            Anyhow, I'm a murderer!
                          I can get no person's love!
                               What is my path?
                        I will bring myself to an end!
                          That's it -- better to die!
                          If I do, nobody can use me!
                                     So?!
                                    I . . .

                                BLACK LION KING
                        You said you would rather die?
                                All right. . .
                              Let's see you die.
                             It's a simple thing.
       And if you take one half step out from there, you will certainly die.

                                BLACK LION KING
                                  What is it?
                           Can't you do it that way?
                             So that's how it is.
         To be forced, to be made a fool of, still, he wants to live.
                          Becoming his true self. . .

                                BLACK LION KING
                         If you do, be strong, Arion.
                        Surely, surely, be strong. . .
                         This mountain is called Anth.
                            Since a long time ago,
              it has been called the mountain of the sacred inn.
                Passing along the base, so to the west heights.
                     The hermit called Lukaon lives there.
                  The man is revered as the King of Arcadia,
               but since it has become the world of the Titans,
                           it is an imaginary place.

                                BLACK LION KING
                I heard he's secluding himself on the mountain.
                             Please become strong.

                                     ARION
                                  Lukaon. . .

                                    SENECA
                 N -- No, wait a minute, that poison look. . .

                                     ARION
                       Where did that man go just now?!

                                    SENECA
                                     Man?
                                No, nobody. . .

                                     ARION
                                    A lie!
                Hey, he wore a black-clothed lion's face. . .!

                                    ATHENA
                          Please, won't you sit down?
                            Say, what's the matter?
                I took great pains to offer you an invitation.
                         Don't make that kind of face.

                                    ATHENA
                               We're in private.
                         Now, you and I, together. . .

                                    APOLLO
                 On the surface, you're happy, aren't you. . .
             You and I don't get along very well, ever since. . .

                                    ATHENA
                          Don't talk about that boy!!
                                 Apollo. . .!

                                    ATHENA
           Do you always intend to handle reproduction in a trivial,
                              dissipated fashion?
                              We've won the war.
                       Then, there is no more Ares. . .
                        Zeus will take that road, too.
                         I think you understand. . .?

                                    APOLLO
                                  Offensive.

                                    ATHENA
                                      Eh?
                              Aren't you pleased?
                        The smell of this perfume. . .

                                    APOLLO
                                    No. . .
                              It smells of blood.
                                 Perhaps. . .

                                    APOLLO
                        I think it permeates your body.
          Just a moment, what will you get, wearing some perfume. . .
                Moreover, I don't resemble the Titans' nature.
             As a nearsighted person, I'm completely uninterested.
                             A blessing, isn't it.

                                    ATHENA
                                     Wait!
                 Do you think you can play with me like this?!
       What kind of woman would win the flattery of a heartless man. . .

                                    APOLLO
                         You're too hard, saying that.
                           You'll overdo the grief.

                                    ATHENA
                                  Lesphina!!

                                    VOICES
                            Hey -- Don't come near!
                           This isn't an exhibition!
                                   Go back!
                                   Go back!

                                    APOLLO
                                    Stop!!
                      What in the world is this mockery!
                               It's unsightly!!

                                    APOLLO
                              What are you doing!
                                Cut the ropes!
                     From that kind of treatment -- hurry!

                                    ATHENA
                                  Apollo. . .
                    From this day, disappear from my sight.
                         If you don't, I'll kill you!
                           Surely, I will kill you!

                                    SENECA
                                Brother, wait!
                               Let's go slowly.
                              Is he really here?
                           That kind of old man. . .
                                    Really!
                  I'm going to cut off this association. . .
                                It's true. . .

                                    SENECA
                                   Brother!

                                     ARION
                                  Catch hold!

                                     ARION
                             What are you doing?!
                                 Who are you?!

                                     ARION
                             A friend of Lukaon?!

                                   HERCULES
                      Questions and answers are useless!!

                                     ARION
                                    Listen!
                         I'm not a suspicious person!

                                     ARION
                  I only came to beg knowledge from the King!

                                   HERCULES
                                    Noisy!
                 Your devilish feelings are knowledge enough!

                                     ARION
                               This blockhead!!

                                   HERCULES
                                     Ugh!!

                                    LUKAON
                                That's enough!

                                     ARION
                                   You. . .?

                                     ARION
                           Hey -- It was a pet. . .?

                                    LUKAON
                                    Sorry.
                  He's a model of versatility, isn't he. . .
                             He's called Hercules.
                      He was Earth's wildest highwayman.
                     Now, he's the gatekeeper of my home.
                      Well, he's basically a good fellow.

                                     ARION
                    Why are you in this kind of place.. .?

                                    LUKAON
                            This Earth is trivial.
              Already, it's a place for things like me to dwell.
       Zeus, as if wagging his bottom at me, is also descended from my family.
              Not only that, but, he thinks I'm a sty on his eye.
                        And if he does to the dead. . .

                                     ARION
                                   Hm. . .?!

                                    LUKAON
                       They've come, haven't they . . .

                                   HERCULES
                          Arion, son of Poseidon. . .
                       You will come along with us. . .

                                     ARION
                                  This. . .!

                                    ERINYES
                         Will you hinder us, Lukaon?!

                                    MEGAERA
                          Hand him over -- that boy!

                                   TISIPHONE
                 He is a criminal who has committed patricide.
                   By arresting him, he will get punishment!

                                    LUKAON
            Traitorous Erinyes -- You've become Olympus' pet dogs.
                           I won't hand over Arion!
                        Go back to Zeus -- Tell him so!

                                    MEGAERA
                                    Idiot!

                                    LUKAON
                                    Leave!!
                                Growling dogs!!

                                     ARION
                                 Here . . .?!

                                    LUKAON
                     It is an interval of time and space.
                            It is OK to go with me.
                Whatever happens, don't get separated from me.
              If you go, you won't be able to return to reality.

                                    LUKAON
                          It's the sea of Elekseinos.
       Here in Darukia, a long time ago, the Titans established an empire.
                   Uranus was King of the founded state, but
       Chronos, that son of the King, raising his hand against him, killed him.
               Then, Chronos was in turn killed by his son Zeus.
                            Zeus is a prudent man.
       Since he fears that he, too, will grope his way to the same fate,
                     he sees people with dark suspicions.
       ``Defend the law'' -- that became his prayer, like an incantation. . .

                                    LUKAON
                                   But. . .
                                   See. . .
                           It's an ugly quarrel. . .
                  They got the art of heaven in their hands.
                      The Titan family saved the country.
        They came descending from the west to dwell on this ground. . .

                               This is Olympus!!

                              I've found you. . .
                                Lesphina . . .

                                     ARION
                                   You. . .
                            You were my sister. . .
                                    Ah. . .
                              Then it's true. . .
                          You smell like Mother. . .

                                    LUKAON
                                    Leave!!

                                    APOLLO
                               Impertinent. . .

                                    LUKAON
             Both the Erinyes and I are from the same origin. . .
         The royal family of Arcadia, rascals with that sacred power.
                 They are revived people from Hades' country.
          What kind of purpose do they have, standing loyal to Zeus.
       They've become gods in order to protect the laws of Olympus. . .
                             A lamentable affair.
                    But, Apollo's hidden power is different
                     from the sacred power of the Erinyes.
         He is the incarnation of the evil nature of the Titan family.

                                    LUKAON
                           Do you understand, Arion?
            Your true enemy is the future ruler of Olympus, Apollo!

                                     ARION
                 B -- But, sacred powers and hidden powers --
                       I don't have anything like that.
                         Anyhow, to that rascal . . .

                                    LUKAON
                                Can't you see?!
                            This is a magic family!
           To support you, there is a like of cause and effect. . .

                                     ARION
                                Lesphina. . .?

                                    LUKAON
                              Believe it, Arion.
                  For you, she is probably your last family.
                   Only this time you are not forced to so.
                   You will go to Olympus to save Lesphina.
                You will go to where Lesphina is, as yourself.

                                     ARION
                                  Lukaon. . .

                                     ZEUS
                   Disobeying the wishes of the sacred gods,
                     he came attacking eternal Olympus --
                 Poseidon and his whole army were driven away.
                    The splendor of the Titans is eternal!

                                     ZEUS
                                Praise Athena!

                                     CROWD
                                Praise Athena!
                                Praise Athena!

                                    ATHENA
                  The divine protection of the gods to Zeus!

                                     CROWD
                  The divine protection of the gods to Zeus!
                  The divine protection of the gods to Zeus!

                                     ZEUS
                      Thank you for your efforts, Athena.
                               You are my pride.

                                     ZEUS
                          You are Olympus' treasure.
                                   Poseidon!
       At this time, he's in hell probably stamping his feet in rage. . .

                                     ETHOS
                                  Lord Arion?

                                    ATHENA
                              You will all leave!

                                    ATHENA
                        Lesphina -- I have warned him.
              This time you appeared with Apollo in front of me.
                              Against my orders!

                                    ATHENA
                  I'm not like Apollo -- I don't joke around!
                 If I say I'll kill someone, I'll kill them!!

                                    ATHENA
                       If you must hate, don't hate me.
          He hurt me, and played with you -- you should hate Apollo!

                                     WOMAN
                                    Oh, my!
                            He's woken you up. . .?
               Although you're exhausted from your journey. . .
                             By a noisy thing. . .

                                    SENECA
                                  Say, what?
                           Not a bad sickness. . .?

                                     ARION
                 Grandma -- Smear this on that child's chest.

                                     WOMAN
                             I'm too much obliged.
                      Surely, an expensive medicine. . .?

                                     ARION
                      No. I learned of it from my mother.

                                    DEMETER
                                   This, eh?
             It's made in Kozurina, mixed with oil of wild thyme.
                  Say, it's absorbed in your chest, isn't it?

                                     WOMAN
                             So, your mother. . .
                Was your mother about the same age as Pandora?

                                     ARION
                                   Pandora?

                                    SENECA
                     Was she the mother of these children?

                                     WOMAN
                                    No, no.
                          These children are orphans.
       Pandora married that splendid man, Prometheus, our daughter. . .
                            It's a cruel tale. . .
                             Became pregnant. . .

                                     WOMAN
                            Pitiable daughter. . .
                       Attacking this small village. . .
                 The children's faces caught that man's blood.
                               Couldn't see. . .

                                   HERCULES
       I hate to interrupt your grief, grandma, but where did grandpa go?

                                     WOMAN

                                 That is. . .

                              What're you doing?

                                     ARION
                   He's on that island, isn't he -- grandpa?

                                  He's alone?
                                   Grandpa?
                            Well, let's go in. . .

                                    SENECA
                                     Why?

                                      PIO
                               He'll get angry.
                       There's an important thing here.
                                 Grandpa. . .
                  said children aren't allotted to go in. . .

                               I'll go and look.
                        Everybody stay here, all right!

                               It's Prometheus.
                       We secretly worship him as a god.

                                     ARION
                                 This man. . .
                              is Prometheus. . .
                   And he married your daughter Pandora. . .

                                     ETHOS
                        Grandma told you as much. . .?
                                That is common.

                                     ARION
                                  Ethos. . .
                      Please tell me more about this man!

                                     ARION
                                  This. . .!?

                                     ETHOS
                          It's called a thunder tube.
       It came from antiquity, supporting the extravagance of the Titans.
                           The secret power of Zeus.
                       The source of the thunder power?
                 Prometheus taught us about this thunder tube.
                    Therefore, the old fear of the Titans.
                       It's not a mysterious thing. . .
       He was punished for confronting the royal family, rebelling against it.

                                     ARION
             At the execution ground on the rocky mountain . . .?

                                     ETHOS
                                 Just so. . .
       To repay him for that device, they came to ruthlessly kill him. . .
            To this day, 20 years later, I regret that matter. . .

                                     ETHOS
                          Prometheus was a noble man.
       He struck against the nephew of Chronos, the King of the last age.
                That man, among Zeus' siblings and cousins. . .
       The girl Pandora, neither related to nor acquainted with the Titans,
                          came to enter his eyes. . .

                                     ARION
                                   Why. . .?

                                     ETHOS
             I guess he desired the prosperity of the Titans. . .

                                     ETHOS
       Polluting the pollution, he wandered into a labyrinth with no exit,
           by leading the previous inhabitants in a brave expansion,
               trying to make us, offending the old prohibition.
       Daringly, we became knowledgeable about the origin of the secret power,
                                   too . . .

                                     ARION
                                Prometheus. . .
                                   Why. . .?
                  I feel as if I've known you all along. . .

                                     ARION
                                   This. . .

                                     ETHOS
                   Please make an announcement, Lord Arion!

                                    I. . .
                              It's no use, I. . .
                          My father was Poseidon. . .
                            My mother, Demeter. . .
                          I am a child of the Titans!

                                     ARION
                 But, I will follow Zeus, aiming at his life.
                      To lay a trap with these hands. . .
                     With these hands, I killed my father!
                       Therefore, I will not fight Zeus!
                   I will go to Olympus, then I will fight!!
                                But, that. . .

                                     ARION
       That's really for the sake of a beloved woman who is on Olympus!
                      Beloved Lesphina, caught by Apollo.
                          I want to rescue Lesphina!!
                                 Lesphina. . .
                                 is my sister.
                               But I love her!!

                                     ARION
                             I will go to Olympus!
                                  Everybody!
              Whoever will go with me, please consider and come!
                            I will not reject you!
                              I will fight them!
                       I will fight for Lesphina's sake!
                           Really, it is only that!

                                     ARION
                         That's all right, isn't it?!
                            Everybody, go with me.
                       Then we'll fight Zeus, won't we?!

                                     ARION
                                  Let's go!!
                                 To Olympus!!

                                     MAN 1
                      Poseidon's son struck the army. . .

                                     MAN 2
                           And he is called Arion?

                                     MAN 3
                      He is Prometheus' second coming . .

                                      MEN
                           Tessaia, Ahty, Voros. . .
                from everywhere, serious members came together.
                       Spontaneously against the Titans.
                           The enemy faltered . . .
              In rapid succession, entering the army gates. . .?
       Only this time, I am afraid that Olympus will not be negligent. . .

                                   HERCULES
          Hey, Grandpa -- You don't really intend to use this thing?
                          This thunder tube, I mean.

                                     ETHOS
                              Prometheus made it.
                           Don't you believe in it?

                                   HERCULES
                                 Oh, dear. . .

                                     ZEUS
                                G -- Gaia. . .
                              Poseidon's son. . .
                          Tell me if Arion is coming.
                         Great goddess Gaia, tell me!
                  Leading the inhabitants. . . Oh, how long?

                                     GAIA
                                   Zeus. . .
                              How unsightly. . .
                              Why do you fear so?

                                     GAIA
          No matter how many they become, the fellows won't come. . .
                 The rank of King of all things, and you cry?
                              Ho, ho, ho, ho. . .

                                    ATHENA
                                    Apollo!

                                    ATHENA
                                  Let me go!
                            Let me strike one blow!
                               I can't bear it.
                         This kind of young girl. . .
                                 I loved you.
                                  It's true!
                              A -- Apollo . . .!!

                                   HERCULES
                     It's this kind of thing, eh, grandpa?

                                     ETHOS
                              Move to the right.
                                  That's it.
            It will end up entering the shadow of the rocky cliff.
                    Collecting the light of the rising sun,
                           it will fill up the tube.
                      The plan is to strike at one blow.
              At any rate, if not for the Titans' knowledge. . .

                                     ARION
                     The castle's side will be profitable.
                         Also, our numbers are large.
              The light of the rising sun will strike first rate.
                  The side yonder will be soonest, won't it?

                                     ETHOS
                        If they don't perceive the fact
                   that the thunder tube is on our side. . .

                                     ARION
                                  Ethos. . .
                      The power of the thunder tube. . .
                          it won't beat Olympus . . .
                                  I know it.
                The way to win is some different power . . . .

                                     ARION
                     The victory is some different power.
                                Different. . .
                                Different. . .

                                    SENECA
                          So, you were here, Brother?
                              It's getting cold.
                       It's going to begin at once . . .
                   Therefore, you're an important body. . .

                                     ARION
                                    Thanks.
                       Have you slept a little, Seneca?

                                    SENECA
                                   Heh. . .
                                Odds and ends.
                                 I'm no fool.
                      I can't sleep at a time like this.

                                    SENECA
                                 Brother. . .
                            Do you really love her?
                          That girl called Lesphina?
                                  I envy her.

                                     ARION
                          What's the matter, Seneca?
                                    SENECA
                               What's this envy?
                            This, this kind of. . .
                        That you love Lesphina so well!

                                     ARION
                                    Seneca!

                                    SENECA
                             I love you, Brother!

                                   HERCULES
                                    Master!
                                  What is it?
                                   Master!!

                                    SENECA
                                  I'm a fool!

                                   HERCULES
                              It's dawn, Master!
                With one blow, we'll make them black and blue!!

                                     ETHOS
                                     Good!
                       Attack the previous government!!

                                     ARION
                                 It's no use!
                            Knock the advance fort!

                                     ETHOS
                                 Shoot lower!

                                     ARION
                                      Go!
                                  Look out!!

                                     ARION
                       Everyone will end up being done!
                                Ethos -- Stop!!

                                     ETHOS
                      As I see it, we can't do any more!
                                   Advance!
                                 Lord Arion!!

                                     ARION
                                 It's no use.
                         This castle won't fail . . .!

                                   HERCULES
                                   Typhoon!!

                                   HERCULES
                                You're welcome!

                                    SENECA
                       I'm surprised -- This is a bird?

                                   HERCULES
                               No, he's a beast!
                           He'll be useful somehow!

                                     ARION
               You're wrong, Typhoon -- The castle's over there!

                                     ETHOS
                  He intends to cross the valley of Tartarus.

                                     ARION
                                   Tartarus?

                                     ETHOS
               It is shunned by Zeus, to the fool's misfortune!
            But only here can we escape their thunder tubes' fire!
                     I guess it's King Lukaon's guidance!

                                     ARION
                                    Ethos!

                                     ETHOS
                                   Too far!
                       It's my true desire, Lord Arion!
                             You are really. . .!

                                     ARION
                                    Ethos!!

                                     ARION
                                 It's Olympus!

                                     ARION
                                  Fly across!
                              Catch hold of Gido!

                                     ARION
                               Come on, Seneca!

                                    SENECA
                                I'm all tight!
                           I'll be fine in a second!

                                     ARION
                                   Shut up!
                                 Keep still!!

                                    SENECA
                                   I'm fine!
                               I said I'm fine!!

                                     ARION
                                 Y -- You. . .

                                    SENECA
                             Well, I told you. . .
                             I loved you, Brother.
                              Heh, heh, heh. . .
                                    Funny.
                                Couldn't live.
               In times like these, a girl child can't be alone!
                             So just look, please.
                                I became a man!
                            So, I'm a sneak-thief.
                         Disagreeable, bad, aren't I?!
                          Don't look at me like that!
                                     Hey!!

                                    SENECA

                                  Hurry, go.
                           To where Lesphina is. . .
                       Surely she's waiting. I said, GO!
                                    What?!!
                         Don't worry about me . . . .

                                    SENECA
                               I won't allow it!

                                     ARION
                             Don't move from here.
                                  All right?!

                                    SENECA
                               Please go freely!
                               I'll stay behind!

                                    SENECA
                                 Heh, heh. . .
                            Suitable, isn't he. . .
                                 Damn him. . .

                                     ARION
                                  Lesphina!!

                                     VOICE
                                  Lord Zeus!

                                     VOICE
                               He -- He's here!!

                                     ZEUS
                              H -- Help me. . . .

                                     ARION
                              Where is Lesphina?!
                             Where is she hidden!!

                                     ZEUS
                        So it is, I will cut you down!
       That one is the person who committed the high crime of patricide!

                                     ARION
                                  Black. . .
                                  Lion King!!

                                    ERINYES
                        Fall back! - Unknown stranger.
                   It is our business to punish this person!

                                    ERINYES
                      Do not transgress by hindering us!

                                BLACK LION KING
                            This is not the place.
                        This person is not a criminal.

                                    ERINYES
                                    What!?

                                BLACK LION KING
                     He certainly did kill King Poseidon.
                       But Poseidon was not his father.
       Arion's real mother was Pandora, his real father was Prometheus. . . .

                                  PROMETHEUS
                                      Me!
                         Don't you recognize my face?
                   From within the dream that Lukaon caused.
          You must have encountered me in the cave of my old friend,

                                  PROMETHEUS
          My wife, Pandora, was already in her ninth-month seclusion.
       However, Zeus' army, to give me a cruel warning, killed Pandora.
                But luckily, the baby was still breathing. . .
                  Arion. I tore you out of Pandora's corpse.
                      You are the child of Pandora and I.

                                  PROMETHEUS
                        I left you in Demeter's hands.
                  Demeter was prepared to carry Zeus' blame.
         She promised me to raise you with Lesphina as her own child.

                                     ARION
                                  That. . .!
                             That's my mother. . .
                                      No!
                        It's because Demeter loved you!
                               Surely it is so!
                   Then, you were also in love with Demeter.
                      As if she was the same as Pandora,
                   no, even supposing, it's more than that!
                                 You're wrong!
                                  Prometheus!

                                     ZEUS
                                  It's a lie!
                       It's a stupid, fabricated story!!

                                     ZEUS
                      Not afraid of the gods' judgment!?
                               Erinyes, succeed!

                                  PROMETHEUS
       And heaven's judgment, used to stand for righteousness and justice.

                                  PROMETHEUS
                          Judge that principle also.
                          And Zeus, defiled in crime.
           By escaping punishment, he strikes down innocent people!
             Quietly returning to the customs of the native gods,
                             using up the people!
                                   Look. . .
            This, more than anything else, is the fabricated story.

                                     ZEUS
                                    Uh. . .
                                    Uh. . .

                                  PROMETHEUS
                    I will destroy the world of the Titans.
                            Resign yourself, Zeus!
                                     Wait!

                                     ZEUS
                                  Wh -- Why?
                                 You're dead.
                               You must be. . .
                                No, it's crazy!
                  Sorry, I didn't know you felt that way. . .

                                     ZEUS
           Be -- Before you say anything -- we share the same blood,
                             can't we be friends?
                                H -- Help me!!

                                     GAIA
                            You're harassing Zeus?
                                All right. . .

                                     GAIA
                    This person is still a young child. . .
                           He will not assault you.

                                  PROMETHEUS
         He's afraid, great mother goddess Gaia, mother of the Titans.
                 Did you not know of the eternal degeneration?
                        Now you are informed of it. (?)

                                     GAIA
                                Ho, ho, ho. . .
                        Being surprised, you followed?
                                    So. . .
                   I will always live with the whole family.
       Then, at the end of my life, the whole family will be destroyed. . .

                                  PROMETHEUS
                         I must kill you, if possible!
                      You, too, in this room, with Zeus!

                                     GAIA
                             A foolish thing. . .
                             How can you kill me?

                                  PROMETHEUS
             Making Chronos king, your husband Uranus was killed.
                        Wasn't it by your instigation?!
                 Then you changed your child Chronos' future.
                 This time, stirring up your grandchild Zeus,
                     King Chronos' life has also cut off.

                                     GAIA
                             That's the way it is.
              Going on continuously, in comparison with my life,
        men and women are limited to one generation of life and luxury.
                  Some day they may become troublesome . . .

                                  PROMETHEUS
                              By that reasoning,
          sooner or later you intend to have Zeus taken care of too?!
                      Like that, you are an ugly mother,
                    and the source of the Titans' mistakes.
                           Why can't you understand?

                                     GAIA
                                   Shut up!!

                                  PROMETHEUS
                                   Gaia. . .
                          This is my last advice. . .
                          I will destroy the Titans.
                      You will be extinguished also. . .
            After this, the people's world will truly prosper. . .
                             The Titans doing so.
                       And we can become the real gods.

                                  PROMETHEUS
              As I see it, you will endlessly heap up crimes. . .
                                   Ugly. . .

                                     ARION
                                  Prometheus!

                                  PROMETHEUS
            Forgive me, Arion. Since I also long deceived you. . .

                                   LESPHINA
                                    ARION!

                                     GAIA
                                  Very well!
                       Why do you have that stamp . . .!

                                     GAIA
                             All right, Lesphina.
                                It's all right.
                        You are true to that woman. . .
                    That strength of spirit is Demeter. . .
                                    Eh. . .
                                  All right.

                                     GAIA
                   Why won't you listen to what I'm saying?
                                    I. . .
                            Like me, you are great.
                   Although I am like everyone's mother. . .
                                 Both you. . .
                                 and Demeter!

                                     GAIA
                                All right. . .
                               It is my defeat.
                                     You!!

                                     GAIA
                                   It's. . .
                                 It's no use.
                                  Please. . .
                                    Ah. . .
                                 My body. . .
                                    Ah. . .

                                     ARION
                              It's no use dying!
                                  Don't die!
                                  Lesphina!!

                   Where have you been at a time like this!
                                    Really!
                             You are a rascal. . .

                            Th -- The man is dead.
                      G -- Gaia, too, ended up dying. . .
                             From now on, you. . .
                                 My power. . .

                            His father Uranus. . .
                Then you killed your father, King Chronos. . .
                          You're a careless man. . .
           If you go on with that succession, this time I kill you.
                            Why didn't you notice?

                                    APOLLO
                               Is Lesphina dead?
                           Give Lesphina to me. . .
                            That girl is my desire.
                          To you she's only a lover.
                            To me she's different.
                                Hand her over!
                         She's too much woman for you!

                                     ARION
                          You're a detestable person!

                                     ARION
                                  I know it!
                  All of this happened since I met Lesphina.
       I guess she is the way for you to reconstruct the Titans' court!
                All along, just like Gaia and Uranus, long ago!
                You would make Lesphina do that kind of thing?!
                             She's not like Gaia!!
                        Lesphina, like her mother. . .
                     She's the daughter of gentle Demeter!
                                 Lesphina. . .
                                 Lesphina. . .
                     Moreover, hasn't she ended up dying??

                                     ARION
       Fighting Gaia, exhausting herself this way, being injured this way!!
                      I'm not afraid of anyone any more!
                  Lesphina and I will go somewhere together!

                                    APOLLO
                        But, you are mixing her blood.
                    With the blood of your mother, Pandora!

                                     ARION
                                 Do you care?!
                       For all that, what is she to you?
                             You won't defeat me!

                                    APOLLO
                       The Titans will not be destroyed!
                     The Titans brought people knowledge.
                       Although people came to produce,
               how many thousands of years' time is that desire?

                                     ARION
                       And what did the thunder tube do!
                          It's killed enough people.
           Is it not only to set up meaningless fear in everybody?!

                                    APOLLO
                The crystallization of knowledge is like that.

                                     ARION
                            That kind of thing. . .
       People desire simple feelings, warm clothes, and food, above all else.
                  If everyone has that, are they not lucky?!

                                    APOLLO
                                 I covet her.
                       And she is a goddess, is she not?

                                     ARION
                                   Goddess?!

                                    APOLLO
                                 That's right.
                   As I see it, if you don't hand her over,
       there will be a contest of storm and disease and war in your world,
                         in order to make you consent.
                       How do you think to deceive her?
        How, in your pollution, do you think to command yonder heart?!

                                    APOLLO
            She is not like us -- As an excellent, beautiful thing,
                          her spirit needs a manager.
       By forgetting the past, the remaining Titans have removed the pollution.
                         No doubt; Moreover, suitable!

                                     ARION
                                   Give up!
                                    That!!

                                    APOLLO
                                   Prepare!!

                                    APOLLO
                  If there is justice for you, show me that!
                           Show me by defeating me.
                If you can, I will extinguish myself, bravely.
                   Well -- What do you say to that, Arion?!

                                     ARION
                                 Lesphina. . .

                                   LESPHINA
                                  Arion. . .

                                     ARION
           Lesphina, it looks as if you can speak again, doesn't it?

                                   LESPHINA
        For some reason or other, it was as if was in a long dream. . .
                             Then, somebody . . .

                                   LESPHINA
                 I could hear someone's voice, calling me. . .
                               Hearing that. . .
                     I was searching for that person. . .
                                      So.
                                  It was you.
                                  Arion. . .!

                                     ARION
                                    Ah. . .
                             Everyone's here. . .
                       The Titans' world is ending. . .
       From now on, everyone will really go on living by themselves. . .

                                   LESPHINA
                            Where will we go. . .?

                                     ARION
                            We'll return to Trakia.
                      Where Mother is surely waiting. . .
             Of course, you'll go, too, won't you, Lesphina. . .?


                                    THE END
