------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECORD OF LODOSS WAR "THE SCEPTER OF DOMINATION" away on the newly created land which was separated by the battle. This land was later named by the people as the cursed island, "Lodoss." =========================== Narrator Mt Fire Dragon is where the evil fire dragon, Shooting Star, dwells. Parn, in order to prevent more disaster to the people, joined Kashue in the dragon hunt there. Lookout 1 I wonder if it's gonna rain? Lookout 2 I hope so. -Shooting Star comes though- Lookout 3 Wha'? -He sees Shooting Star- Lookout 4 There it is. Lookout 5 It's coming. Lookout 6 Fire -Shooting Star breathes fire on all off lookouts- Kashue What were the lookout doing? Orson It's coming. -Shooting Star breathes and kills more- Parn -He sees a man get fried- Damn it Deed Parn Kashue Wait. It's too dangerous to go out now. Parn -He puts his hand on the lever- It's now or never -He pulls it- Deed Parn Parn --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Mt. Fire Dragon Pirotase Please wait. The objective must be the Scepter of Domination. Ashram If we defeat the ancient dragon, it will be in our hands. Pirotase You can't be serious. Ashram This sword is calling for its blood. Pirotase In that case, it's more important that you obtain the Scepter of Domination first. Ashram You doubt my ability? Pirotase But... Ashram Move out of my way. Pirotase Only foolish humans and goblins use futile power. Ashram Futile? Pirotase You cannot make light of an ancient dragon. Ashram A small cut can become a fatal wound. Never forget that if you want to live as a Marmo. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Campsite for Our Heroes Deed Parn Wha'? Sheris Recklessness devastates virtue. Well, that may be your good point. Or, I can't stop thinking that your way of doing things is amusing. It's as if it only thinks of us as mere worms. Deed Even worms have a life. A human life, a worm's life: there's no difference in "life." Parn Deed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Falaris Temple Vagnard The High Elf escaped? Dark Elf I'm sorry. Vagnard What happened to Pirotase? Dark Elf Ah, about that... Vagnard Mt Fire Dragon. Hmph, although is called a Dark Elf, she's still a woman, and you came back shamelessly, didn't you? Dark Elf Wha'? Vagnard -spell- The almighty mana, destruction in the form of fire,...Baylos. The almighty mana, destruction in the form of fire,...Baylos. Dark Elf -said within the second time of spell- Master Vagnard Vagnard So, I'll get the Scepter of Domination before I get the High Elf. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Campsite Parn "The Path of the Dragon?" Orson It sounds like an old legend. Shadam Yes, it's the "Legend of the Dragonslayer" which has been passed down from Flaim's past. At the end of the path is the castle of the dragon. Sheris Of course. It means that we surround Shining Star by the back route, right, Shadam? Shadam Exactly. Long ago, there were many young people who dreamt of the Dragonslayer. Kashue Then there was none who returned. Orson So, it's a gamble? Kashue That's right. Unfortunately I can't think of another way. What do you think? Deed It's too dangerous. Kashue I agree that it's dangerous but not completely futile. Deed Ah... Shadam There was another part to the legend. The three lances, of which is blessed by the god of war, Myri, will help seal the evilness of the dragon. Right now, I'm having the priests make the "Lances of Myri." Kashue Okay. Once the lances are done, we'll leave. Parn King Kashue, take me with you. Kashue You want to go that badly? Parn Yes Kashue However, I won't allow such recklessness like you did before. Will you swear to be able to obey my command? Parn Y...yes, Your Majesty --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Marfa's Temple Neese Slayn, I'm sorry. The condition of Lodoss seems worse than I thought. Slayn Then what about Lodoss? Neese It is a time of trial. Lairia Mother Neese Your powers are needed. Slayn Is it our time? Lairia I will give you my assistance. Slayn Lairia Neese Slayn, please take care of her. -She looks up- Marfa, give us your strength. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Mt. Fire Dragon -Shooting Star has left- Pirotase Now is the chance. Let me accompany you. Ashram And if you become a burden? Pirotase Kill me. Ashram Do as you wish. Let's go. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to the Heroes Sheris This is the "Path of the Dragon?" Shadam Your Majesty, take this. Kashue Let's believe in the divine protection of Myri and in our own abilities. We can definitely inflict a serious wound. Shaddam, I'm leaving the rest to you. Shadam Please, return safely. -Inside the path- Kashue Let's go. Deed It splits into two. Parn I'll check it out. Kashue Wait -boulders come crashing down- Remember this: Things that appear real are lies. Sheris Which mean it's this way. -She gets hit by a gust of hot air- Kashue Don't touch it. You'll be burned. Orson Sheris Deed Ah... -spell- Sylph, fairy of the wind, give us the protection of the wind to dispel the flame. Sylph, fairy of the wind, give us the protection of the wind to dispel the flame. Go now. Parn Deed --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Flaim's Guard Encampment Lookout Wha'? Shadam Retreat. Don't think about fighting for now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Mt. Fire Dragon Ashram This is... Pirotase Wha'? Soldiers Ohh Magician Please wait a moment. Ashram Wha'? Magician -spell- To that which is cloaked with lies, answer my calls for discloakment. To that which is cloaked with lies, answer my calls for discloakment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Lookout Camp Shadam King Kashue --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Within Mt. Fire Dragon Pirotase Wha'? Sheris This place is... Orson It's filled with stench. Deed Wha'? Ashram What a strange place to meet, Mercenary Soldier King. Kashue Wha'? -He looks at Ashram- Ashram Parn Ashram, you Kashue Wait Ashram The boy from last time Parn What are you scheming? Ashram What if I said to grasp Lodoss into my hands? Parn What? Pirotase Shall I have you come to me this time? -this comment directed at Deed- Deed You're... -They fight- Ashram -He laughs- You've improved Parn "A sword is not a toy," wasn't that it? Ashram You're still weak. -Shooting Star retrurns back to his laair and breathes fire- Pirotase Ashram Parn The fire... Ashram So, even the dragons are conquered by the Scepter of Domination. Kashue That's... Deed It looks like the Scepter of Domination. Kashue It can't be. Deed Parn, you can't let the Marmo take that. Parn What? -Shooting Star looks at Ashram- Ashram So, I'm the Dragonslayer -He holds up the staff- I'll be the one to defeat him. -Pirotase moves to guard him- Move. Pirotase You musn't. It's too dangerous. -She protects him from the rock fall bbut she falls over the cliff- Ashram -He saves her- Wha'? Magician Thanks for the Scepter of Domination. -Literal: I've got the Scepter of Domiination- Ashram Ohh -Orson sticks one lance in Shooting Sttar's head- Kashue Let's go, Parn. Parn All right -They charge with their lances- Deed It's too dangerous. -She throws a spell at the dragon Kashue and Parn finally thrust their lances in the dragon's head. The dragon breathes out one last burst of flame at Ashram- Asram Wha'? Pirotase -She falls in his arms- F..for the conquest of Lodoss Ashram Pirotase -Her headpiece falls off. [symbolism gguys!!]- Kashue Let's get out of here. Parn Wha'? -He ses Asram holding Pirotase before they fall- Kashue Hurry up, Parn. Narrator Ashram appeared in flames and was gone in flames. When they met, that which was exchanged was not words but only swords. However, Ashram's wordless death was imprinted into Parn's heart.
