RECORD OF LODOSS WAR

"THE WAR OF HEROES"
---------------------------------------------
Narrator : The war between the gods of light and darkness reached a climax in
which the mother goddess of the earth, Marfa, and the malevolent goddess,
Kardis, battled to the end.
After the fierce battle, the two goddesses perished like a flame flickering
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."
===========================
Parn Why?

-Parn, Deed and Wood ride on horses wiith Vallis's soldiers-
Wood Hah, I guess we're safe here, since we're located next to the commanders
who happen to be the strong ones.

Deed You dummy, if we get into a battle, this is the most dangerous spot. The
enemy isn't going to attack from the sides.

Wood Why does that suddenly make sense to me?

Deed It's common sense in war.

Wood Of course, of course

Parn Heh

Wood Oh

Messenger I have something to say.
-He kneels before Faunn-
Lord Kashue's army's currently engaged in a fierce battle. Reinforcements
are needed.

Faunn What about the enemy's main force?

Guard Not in sight

Faunn Beld, so, you are using demons as your shield.

Parn Army troops of demons

Deed Beld is using demons at his disposal. They can range in the thousands or tens
of thousands.

Parn King Kashue
-Marmo fights army-
Soldier Here they come again.

Kashue Don't retreat. They're only beasts. Scowl, shout and fight back.
-He sees wyverns overhead-
Prince Jester
Jester As I expected, even a mercenary soldier king doesn't have eyes on the back
of his head.
-Wyverns attack upon the crowd of creaatures-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karla's Domain

Karla It appeareth it hath begun.

-Back to Parn and Deed-
Deed Sir Knight, it seems that your mind has travelled more swiftly than your horse.
If you do not return your mind in time of need, you won't be able to fight.

Soldier This is a good luck charm from my son.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battlefield

Vagnard What shall we do? If we let them go, they would rejoin the troops and
create a unavoidable problem.

Ashram Hmph, it's common sense to chase the quarry into the hunting grounds.
Your Majesty, the quarry is about to enter the hunting grounds.

Parn King Kashue

Kashue Have they arrived?

Parn Yes, they have.

Beld Faunn
-Marmo troops come upon the Vallis andd Flaim's soldiers-
Soldiers We've been cornered.
This...
Here they come.
Faunn Beld
Beld Faunn
Soldiers There's another force behind us.
Wood This is bad. We're like rats in a trap.
Deed Parn, here they come.
-Ashram lifts his sword and the Marmo troops attack-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carnage Grounds

Eto Parn

Slayn Go ahead, Eto.

Eto Slayn

Slayn There are only two choices if it can't be stopped now: jumping into the eye of
the storm, or avoiding it. It's one or the other whether these things come in
mountainous amounts. Now...

Ghim Hmm
-He sees Eto leave on horse-
War will save Lodoss. How idiotic.

Slayn It's what Karla believes no matter whichever way it is. It's our fight,
different from the one of Parn and the others.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wort's Castle

-Wort reflects the meeting between Parrn's group and Karla-
Parn You...you witch

Karla Didst King Faunn order thee to kill me?

Parn If you're gonna help Marmo to win, you're an enemy of the king.

Karla Then, shalt I help Vallis?

Parn What?

Karla It maketh not a difference to me. I have to thank Wort and Faunn for
meeting the new pawns on the board.

Parn Wort, is that how you feel too?
-end recall-
Wort That young man may be able to...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faunn's Castle

Messenger Princess, the messenger has reported that the Vallis army troop is in a
desperate battle. If they...
Fianna I understand.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the Battleground

Parn -He sees Ashram- It's him.
You

-He attacks Ashram who hits him out off the way. Parn falls-
Ashram A sword is not a toy.

Parn What?

Ashram Use it well.
Parn -He charges- Damn you.
Deed Parn
-Pirotess throws daggers-
Ashram Ohh
Wait
Don't interfere.
-Ashram and Parn go at it again-
Faunn Beld

Ashram Wha'?

Parn Wha'?

Faunn Beld
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Surely you have not forgotten my face, have you?
Surely you have not forgotten my face, have you?
-Ashram pushes Parn away from him and leaves. Parn runs after him-
Parn Wait.

Deed Parn

Parn Uh, wha'?

Kashue It seems the time to settle this once and for all has come.

Faunn Beld
Beld
Beld
Beld
-They meet each other face to face- Beld It's been a while.

Faunn -He draws out his sword- If we cannot return to the past, this is the only way, my old friend.

Beld As you wish, Faunn
-He draws out his sword-
-They fight-
Faunn Was there not any other way, Beld?

Beld I won't give Lodoss to you.

Faunn I have no intentions of conquest.

Beld Unification and conquest is the same in the end.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karla's Domain

Karla I can'st allow neither the unification or the conquest of Lodoss.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the Battleground

Parn Your Majesty

Wort -He calls upon Parn, stopping time- Parn, restrain Karla.

Parn Wha'? Ah, wha'?

Wort Parn

Parn W...Wort

Wort As long as she lives, Lodoss will have no peace, even if that battle ends.

Parn What?

Wort Karla believes it was for Lodoss. But, now...

Parn Are you saying if Karla's defeated, this fight can be stopped?

Wort I don't even know if it can be stopped, but the tragedy to come is likely.

Parn Tragedy? What do you mean?

Wort Karla does not think of herself now as a person. For 500 years, little by
little, her mentality has begun to put her "scale" out of order. If we leave
her alone as she is, a greater disaster is foreseen for Lodoss. To stop that
from happening, remove the circlet. That is her true form.
-Back to real time-
Deed Parn, what happened?

Parn Why did Wort...?

Beld Grown old, have we? Not a change.

Faunn I cannot go without witnessing your death.

Beld I was thinking the same thing.
-They attack each other. Faunn is killled by Beld-
Ashram Your Majesty

-Beld is killed by Karla-
Karla Conquest and unification is unfavorable for Lodoss.
-Lightening strikes Beld's body. Stronng winds blow in-
Kashue Everyone take cover or we'll be blown away.

-Ashram takes Beld's sword. The anciennt dragons are awakened-

Parn Your Majesty, uh, leaving him like this....

Kashue The dead shall be returned to the earth of Lodoss.
This is the fate of a knight.
This is war.

Wood The nameless are like dust with no one to offer flowers. Only those with
names are honored.
-Parn finds the guard with charm dead on the ground and recalls that phrase-
Guard This is a good luck charm from my son.

Deed Parn
Parn It can't...
This can't continue.....

Wort Restrain Karla. If you don't, an even greater tragedy may happen to Lodoss.

Narrator The fighting did not create anything; the fighting did not save anybody;
nevertheless, fighting is necessary now. Witnessing the heaps of corpses
covering the earth as far as he can see, the boy swore to confront the witch,
Karla.
