Sea Prince and the Fire Child (シリウスの伝説)

Once upon a time, as they say...

...long before the time of Sirius and his fire child...

...the gods of fire and water lived as one, as brother and sister.

And the earth rested in a misty nimbus of peace.

But like many fairy tales, ours begins with an act of evil.

For Algaroc, the Dark Lord of the Winds grew jealous of the happy pair.

And he planted the wicked thorns of suspicion and hatred between them.

Thorns took root, and turned brother against sister.

Great Oceanus, King of the Waters...

...rose up in a great fury, and sent his waves raging.

Waves so mighty, they reached around the globe.

They even threatened the great palace of Hyperia, Queen of Fire.

The earth was in chaos.

Fire and water were split asunder...

They were never to be rejoined.

Queen Hyperia! Save us from the sea!

Oceanus is responsible.

Algaroc has turned him against me.

They want to extinguish my flame...

...and wipe me from the face of the earth!

They will not succeed! My flame will live!

My children, gather your fires and come with me!

The storm is dead.

The earth is calm.

This Holy Flame must be watched well!

For as long as it burns, the sea will be calm and the children of fire shall live!

THE LEGEND OF SIRIUS

Good morning!

Morning!

Hey! What's the rush?

- Where are you going? - Stop making so much noise!

- You'll wake Prince Sirius! - You must be quiet!

Sirius! Wake up!

- You promised to take me hunting! - Don't!

- Hush up! - Prince Sirius needs his sleep!

- He gave orders not to be disturbed! - He did?

Well, he would've if he hadn't been so tired last night.

Enough! He said he'd take me hunting. It's time for him to get up anyway!

Sirius! Good morning!

Let's go catch ourselves a jellyfish! He won't stand a chance against this!

You'll have to do a lot better than that, Chiku.

Let go, c'mon! Let go!

Chiku!

Well, what are you waiting for?

If you beat me there, I'll give you my knife!

- Really! Last one there is a sea slug! - Prince Sirius!

- They're going to get in trouble someday. - It's most distressing!

Ow! Hey! Oh, It's you, Chiku!

You're still with me, huh? Okay, let go, let go!

In the name of King Oceanus, I hereby dub you Sir Chiku.

Knight heirant and protector of the water people.

Now, to prove your worthiness...

...you must fight and destroy that creature of darkness!

Here's the knife you wanted. Now, now, Sir Chiku, go on!

Here goes nothing!

Have at him, brave Sir Chiku!

Don't worry! I think you're tiring him out!

- Help me! - Use your knife.

- I can't! - What's wrong, Sir Chiku!

You can have your knife back, anything, only help me!

Help you? Well, why didn't you say so?

- Not so fast! - Wait for me!

It's the Forbidden Zone!

- Wait here. - Sirius!

He's disappeared!

What the...

Geronimo!

What was that?

Sirius, why'd you do it? Now I'll never see you again.

Help!

What a way to go, and I was only looking for some fun!

Some friend you are Sirius!

How could you leave me here?!

Come back! I'm too young to die!

Sirius!

Sirius! C'mon! C'mon!

Sirius! Sirius!

Sirius! Wake up, wake up! You can't be dead!

Prince Sirius is dead!

Are you all right Sirius?

It serves you right, going into the Forbidden Zone.

I dreamed that I saw something.

- I saw a fire. - You what?

You saw a fire?

And a girl beside it.

This sounds like trouble. Let's get out of this place, Sirius!

Sirius! Come on, let's go!

Hurry up! For goodness' sake!

And now for the finishing touches...

There, there, and there...

Hey Sirius, what's the big idea? Going to a costume party?

Costume party indeed! This is the prince's 16th birthday...

...and we're going to his coronation. You little ruffian.

Coronation?

That's right Chiku, we're off to pay our respects to King Oceanus.

What fun!

Come on, we're going to see the king!

It's Prince Sirius' coronation!

Come on everybody!

- What did he say? - The King!

Sirius, here we come!

Come on everybody!

There is no place on earth as beautiful or as happy as our kingdom of the sea.

And it is because of you, Sirius,

that our world has remained peaceful and calm these many years.

There is only one way in which we can repay your noble service to your king.

And so, Prince Sirius, we give you what is rightfully yours.

- The Eye of Algaroc! - Yes.

The ancient eye taken from the evil Lord of the Winds,

who now sleeps in the depths of the Forbidden Zone.

From this day forward, you shall rule the sea in my place.

But I warn you, Sirius, do not go near the Forbidden Zone.

If Algaroc were to ever get his eye back again,

evil would return to the sea, and the whole world.

Oceanus!

The future of our kingdom and its people is now in your hands, Prince Sirius.

See that you guard it well.

Sirius, you're the King! You're the King of the Sea!

What's this I hear?

Sirius is the King of the Sea?

And wearing the Eye of Algaroc? It's a joke!

Now listen up everybody!

Who should be king? This snotty little sea snail?

Or me, Mabuze the Magnificent?

Everyone who prefers Sirius, take a step forward.

- Yeah! - Come on!

What's this? Nobody?

Can't say I'm surprised.

You see Sirius, the public prefers Mabuze.

You're out of your gourd!

Well, to begin with, who'd want a king that looks like a soggy hamburger?

Hamburger?

Why, that's the rudest thing anyone's ever said to me. Get him, boys!

- No problem! - You got it, boss!

Now Sirius, why don't you just hand this over?

Come on. Give it to me.

I'll give you THIS!

And this!

Now I'm mad!

Hey! What are you doing?

Here you go!

- Wait! - We're coming master!

Come back and we'll do it again! Right, Sirius?

Right.

Only a dream...

Oh, Malta.

You are as steadfast as you are beautiful.

The sea remains calm and peaceful.

Only because...

...you are there every night to keep the holy flame from going out.

Of course, Mother.

You may sleep soundly and depend on me as always.

You are already speaking like a queen, Malta.

But listen, there is one thing you must never forget:

Always be on your guard against the children of the water.

For they are not our friends.

"The water is the enemy of the flame."

How could I forget? I hear it every night.

Malta...

You know you don't have to worry about that, Mother.

You don't think I'd want to make friends with any of those water people, do you?

No, but just make sure you never forget that, Malta.

I won't. I know where my duty lies, Mother.

- Goodnight. - Malta...

My daughter. May good fortune go with you always.

Who was that boy who came from the sea last night?

I must be careful!

I'm supposed to be the brave daughter of the Queen of Fire.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Oh, what a coward I am.

I'm a hopeless coward!

You sure are. Shame on you!

Who's there?

- Piale! - Piale, that's right!

You shouldn't be here. Get back to the palace!

I want to stay. Piale loves Malta.

Don't be ridiculous. Go home!

No! Let me stay with you, just for tonight.

Besides, you need me.

You're afraid to be alone, aren't you?

No! I'm not afraid of anything, hear me?

Careful, Piale! You'll die if you fall in the water!

Malta is a scaredy cat! A scaredy cat!

What a little idiot. I don't care if you do fall in.

Oh, Malta. Please don't be angry.

Malta? Malta?

Look...

How beautiful it is...

When fire and water are joined together, why is it so...

What is it?

We must have been put under a magic spell.

They tried to... lure us under the water just then.

But it won't happen again.

I won't let them get the best of me.

Sirius! Sirius!

Hey, have you guys seen Prince Sirius?

Have you seen Sirius anywhere?

I bet you guys haven't seen him either, huh?

Sirius! Where are you?

I've looked everywhere for him. He's left me behind again!
