Dofus - Book I: Julith (Dofus - Livre 1 : Julith)

A Dofus is a dragon egg that offers unlimited power, to he who knows how to use it! Six exceptionally powerful ones are known as the "Primordial Dofus". For centuries, they have been the stakes of a merciless war between the cities of Bonta and Brakmar.

The Ivory Dofus and the Ebony Dofus.

These two dragon eggs and the infinite power they grant have always been objects of desire.

And so when Julith, the Butcher of Brakmar, guardian of the Ebony Dofus, marched on Bonta...

Jahash went to face her with our dazzling army.

After 69 days of battle with no clear outcome, something unexpected happened,

that struck the soldiers of both cities with awe.

How these two beings, among the most powerful in the world, could become enraptured by each other remains a mystery.

Some spoke of a desire for peace, others blamed the blindness of love; it didn't matter.

Fate was in motion, and for a while peace was made between Bonta and Brakmar.

Secretly though, the Butcher still burned with the desire to see Bonta fall.

Breaking the sacred bonds of marriage, she unleashed the power of the Ebony Dofus.

The price to pay was a terrible one for Bonta, and Jahash sacrificed himself to save us.

The Ivory Dofus was consumed and the Ebony Dofus broken.

Dofus Book I: Julith

Citizens of Bonta.

Ten years have passed, and as with every year,

we are gathered here to honor the memory of the one who gave his life to save our city.

Our savior, the greatest of Huppermages: Jahash Jürgen.

With this tenth commemoration, we are pleased to say that a new generation is ready to follow in his footsteps.

Bakara, our hero's younger sister, has just earned her Huppermage robes.

Bakara, the honor is yours to unveil our tribute to Jahash.

Women and men of Bonta, my dear subjects...

Let's make this a celebration that...

My compliments to the artists.

This statue of my husband is quite faithful.

Guards, seize her!

You?

Finally!

Come forth, Grougalorasalar!

He scores!

He scores! Do you hear me, Pupuce? He scores!

Here's Pupuce with Joris "Thunderbreaker":

"It's easy for me, you know, being the son of a great champion and all."

Ah, Lilotte.

Hi!

So?

So it's confirmed: the game will take place tomorrow night.

Even if everything was nearly canceled due to an attack at the palace.

"This morning at the Great Bonta Stadium, star gobbowler Khan Karkass will hold tryouts for his new passer!"

"The champion will take the opportunity to greet his fans!"

I'll be able to get my gobball signed!

Yahoo!

Khan, Khan, Khan!

Khan, Khan, Khan!

So now your mother was a Gobbowl champion too?

Yep, I thought it was more classy that way.

You change your mind like you change underpants!

Firstly, I don't change underpants that often.

Secondly, the good thing about being an orphan is you can choose the parents you want!

Yeah, yeah, tell it to my bone...

Well MY parents were referees.

And they fired yours because they were cheaters.

So there!

Oh yeah?

Fine, first one down there had the coolest parents!

Joris Thunderbreaker soars!

– Will he manage to score before the final whistle? – Calm down, calm down!

These are the last seconds of the match of his life!

My walls!

Sorry! No choice, gotta win!

Sorry! No choice, gotta teach you some manners!

Hey, but... I won! I won!

So, who's got the coolest parents now?

Huh? Come on, say it!

Your father was a cheerleader anyway!

Now, kids.

Please, don't start again with that "your father was this, your mother was that" fuss.

– Hello Papycha. – Hello Mr. Kerub.

Catseye!

One... Two... And three!

One... Two... Three!

Haha! You lost, Jojo! You moved.

Such clumsiness...

Cheater!

As a punishment, you'll suffer the Ecaflip wash!

It's not fair!

It was Lilotte!

Stop, Papycha!

Mercy!

All good!

You can go and have breakfast.

Yay!

Crispies!

Great, I haven't gnawed on anything since yesterday!

Lilotte, I already told you, you don't have to sleep outside.

We can make you a little doghouse here, you know.

You're part of the family.

Not a good idea.

You come here every day, what's the difference?

You remember Gigi, my pooch pal?

Well, he also found an adoptive family, top pedigree.

An always clean kennel, fresh kibbles for breakfast, lunch and dinner; basically paradise.

Except Gigi sheds.

As a result, they abandoned him on the side of the road.

So I say, the best way not to lose your family is to not have one in the first place.

Papycha, they confirmed it in the gazette: Khan will be at the stadium this morning!

We're going, right? We're going?

I've already told you yes a hundred times.

But first, you must keep your end of the deal and set up the shop.

Everything must be ready for when the fans arrive.

Yeah!

I'm done eating! Luis, open the shop!

Would it kill you to say "please", you boor?

Come on, Luis, don't make a fuss.

Luis this, Luis that– I'm always the one doing all the work around here!

Don't hold back on the pompoms, the scarves and the Quaquacks.

Those will sell the most.

Hey, Lilotte! Be careful or we'll never finish in time!

Aww, come on, no need to bark!

Master Kerub, I must speak with you urgently.

The Ebony Dofus has been stolen!

What?

Master Kerub, I must speak with you urgently.

– The Ebony Dofus has been stolen! – Tell me it's not true!

Papycha? Are you talking to someone, Papycha?

Just a bad dream, my little Jojo! Keep going with the set up.

...Ebony Dofus has been stolen!

Ah, all done! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Lilotte, you're such a pain!

Come on, can't we have a bit of fun?

No, we'll have fun later.

Right now we have the chance to meet Khan Karkass! Remember?

No way I'm missing that.

Please, it's not like he's a god.

He poops just like everyone else.

Yes, he IS a god!

And no, he doesn't poop like everyone else!

So there!

We're done Papycha, we can go to the stadium!

Not now, son.

I have to run an errand, so I need you to look after the store.

What? But, what about the tryouts?

You promised a hundred times we would go if we worked hard...

I know, I know, but I really have to go.

This is a real favor I'm asking of you, my little Jojo.

Be good, I'll be quick.

Who wants another pint?

I know you're there, Bakara. Take a seat.

Julith is back, Kerub.

No! It can't be, she's dead!

I saw her eyes. I heard her voice. Trust me Kerub, it's her.

She took the Ebony Dofus, and nobody could stop her.

The Ebony Dofus! B-but then, Joris is in danger!

Calm down! That Dofus is no more than an empty shell.

Without the dragon's soul, the egg has no power.

Kerub, wait! What did you tell Joris?

Nothing, like we agreed. But it's time he learned the truth.

Get over it, it's not the end of the world.

What matters is that we're still going to the game tomorrow night, right?

No. What matters is going to both!

At the game I won't be able to get Khan Karkass to sign my gobball!

That's it, I'm going!

Joris, don't do that!

If Kerub finds out, he'll go rabid!

And you'll get what's coming to you!

I don't care, he promised!

Watch the shop, see ya!

Come back, you bulldog-head! You won't get in without me!

Come on, you and your snout, we'll miss the beginning!

Let's go, girls.

Follow me!

Here: the two bent bars.

Wow, great! You're the best!

Sometimes there are advantages to living on the street.

Rumor says they took a beating last night at the inauguration.

There are so many more guards than normal, this sucks! We better give up!

No way!

What sucks is your bell! Take it off while you go through.

No way, that's all I have left from my parents.

Come help me, I'm stuck!

Calm down, you'll give us away!

Hey you, over there!

– Just go, we'll meet up later. – What are you doing here?!

I'll be waiting for you on the other side!

Don't tell me he's actually going to do it!

Over here, I see him!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Here comes the one you've all been waiting for!

Winner of the Super League with 57 wins, and more than 200 goals under his belt...

He brought prestige to Gobbowl!

Our great champion, our hero: Khan Karkaaaass!

Enough, Guy. Don't overdo it.

So this is the "dream team", huh?

Not much to look at...

You there! Show me some teeth.

Eww, by the gods! Come back when you've learned some hygiene, you disgusting pig.

On the field, having talent isn't enough.

The fans don't come just to see a game.

They come to see you throw passes to ME , so I can score.

Hmm, these look reasonably healthy...

What's your name, soldier?

Rudolph.

Huh. You'll need to change your name if you want to go pro.

Just try and tackle me.

Yes, sir!

Not bad. You know how to give, Rudolph.

But do you know how to take it?

This is your first lesson, aspiring passers.

Giving is not enough, you must also know how to take it.
