Arion (アリオン)

Toho company, ltd.

Long ago, before the gods and humans were separated...

Thrace

Hey, mom!

They called you the mother goddess of Olympus,

and now you're content living like this?

Surely you haven't forgotten the past, demeter?

Think about that bastard, Poseidon.

What he did was unforgivable.

Now he controls everything.

Zeus, being Zeus, isn't satisfied with his position on Olympus,

but prattles on about being the god of the heavens.

Arion! Are you still awake?

Should children eavesdrop on adult conversations?

Go back to bed right now.

Hades, as you can see, my life with arion is everything to me now.

You can complain all you like, but you're wasting your breath.

Go home, to your own land.

Are you listening? This is digitalis.

If you crush it, you can use it to bring down a fever.

This is mugwort. You mix it with fish mint to make an ointment.

';I in», a;

well, well, you certainly are a knowledgeable lad, arion.

Mom taught me all of this!

But...

I feel sorry for her. She can't see.

And there are no medicinal plants that can cure her blindness.

There's a flower called "arcana" in Macedonia.

It cures all eye-related maladies, right there and then.

Yes. Come to think of it, I spotted several on my way here, on the other side of that mountain pass.

Want to check it out with me, arion?

Arion! Where are you?!

Are we almost there, uncle?

Just a little more. I saw them just a little farther on.

B-But I have to get back home!

Uncle, I can't do this!

«jul! If, gii', j: '

Your older brother, Hades, is taking arion away to the underworld!

Are you going to turn a blind eye to this?! Zeus!

How is he doing?

Is a brat like that really so powerful?

Don't! Get away from me! Go away!

Gido, eh?

This is what I've been waiting for!

Arion! My hopes for you were well-placed.

You truly are a titan.

Liar! Uncle, you're nothing but a liar!

You cannot heal your mother's eyes with mere medicinal herbs.

“If, ,

take me home! Take me back to mom!

It would do her no good.

Why not?!

Because a spell has been placed on her eyes.

A spell?

Indeed. And until that spell is lifted, demeter will remain blind.

You really want to know?

Zeus is responsible!

The titans' disgraceful attack robbed demeter of her sight!

Zeus is in his castle on the western summit of Olympus!

If you fight for your mother's sake, you shall be invincible!

You will have nothing to fear from Zeus, nor your worthless father, Poseidon, who abandoned you and your mother!

Go to Olympus and then present the gray-haired head of Zeus to your mother, demeter!

Following the death of their father, king cronus, the three brothers of the royal titan family divided up his territory into three domains.

The shrewd youngest brother, Zeus,

became the king of Olympus and all things on land.

The middle brother, Poseidon, became the king of the sea.

However, Zeus and Poseidon fought with each other over everything.

Poseidon, ruler of the seven seas, encroached upon the surface world.

Zeus, with his eldest daughter Athena as his commander-in-chief,

tried to crush the sea king's ambitions.

Now the whole world is in the middle of a war...

How do you like them apples?! Nobody can catch seneca!

Dammit! Fine, do what you want with me!

What's this? You're showing me mercy?

I don't want your pity!

Y-You're a titan, aren't you?

You are, aren't you? I knew it! Titan miscreant!

Dammit! On your high horse...

How dare you!

I see. So this boy...

He is very talented for a child.

It seems there are special circumstances, but what do you think we should do, sister?

Very well.

Let's try beating the answers out of him.

Get back, resphoina!

Talk! Where did you get that sword?!

You're one of Hades' lackeys, aren't you?

Why do you have that?!

Speak! What is your relation to Hades?

What did Hades tell you?!

I respect you, boy.

Hades is a scheming bastard.

He isn't satisfied with the underworld alone,

so he's probably using that brat to cause trouble.

Stay away!

Resphoina...

That's your name, isn't it?

Thank you.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

7' li? [1,,

thank you.

Maybe you're not able to speak?

Oh...

It's really good!

What's wrong? Aren't you going to continue your song?

Jl qqu

although it was a bit boring without any lyrics...

Try to sing.

Project your voice.

Sing, resphoina.

Now, sing out.

Sing, resphoina.

That is contemptible behavior, brother!

Leave that girl alone!

A pity...

We were just getting to the good part.

If you weren't my brother, I would slay you right here!

Now begone!

This is no place for a lecher like you to be wandering around!

A holy warzone, is it?

True, it doesn't seem like a good fit for me.

I have taken up enough of your time, Ares.

Oh, that's right. The boy, his name is arion?

It seems he's recovering quite well.

Be sure to take good care of him.

I've heard that this night will be his last.

I understand. I should follow that valley, right?

Thank you, resphoina.

I won't forget you, I swear it.

After all, other than my mother, you're the first person who's ever shown me kindness.

Goodbye, resphoina.

I'm sorry.

Bro...

You!

The sword, right? You want it back, right?

It's that way. I know where they've got it.

Come on... follow me.

Leave it to me. This kind of thing is my specialty.

I'd feel guilty if I didn't pay back the favor.

Don't let them get away! Capture them!

Poseidon is coming!

T-That's right. That's Poseidon's military force!

T-They're gonna go to war! Oh, man!

Don't get cocky and dive too deep!

You've taken captives already?

What? They're only children.

They're not strong enough to be rowing slaves...

You over there! Show me what you've got!

I'd better show it to the king.

At any rate, it's too good for the likes of you.

Dammit! Let me down, you bastards!

Enough! Let me go! Scum! Damnit...

Hey, bro, do you think we'll die in this heat?

That's gotta be the commander's ship!

Is that...

Is that my father?

The soldiers are agitated.

Calm yourselves! We shall be the Victors of this war!

We hold the locational advantage.

The enemy will be helpless before us.

The iron cavalry of the titans is invincible!

Even though we face Poseidon, there is nothing to fear!

Ares will lead the vanguard,

attacking the enemy head on and dividing them into two.

The phalanx will push them back.

The edmos detachment will stand here,

blocking their path of retreat to the sea.

Do not let them escape to the sea.

You will not allow a single warship from Poseidon's army to sail away safely from this bay.

Go ahead, eat. Don't be shy.

Look at that sulky face.

No one has ever turned down my hospitality and lived.

Drink. Your father is offering it to you.

Fine then. Your mood would only spoil the liquor anyway.

Um...

H pi"? A“! Qliqi/lj: I jjl.',” 'z

Father, why are you trying to defeat Zeus?

Why are you attacking the land instead of being satisfied with ruling the sea?

And why did you abandon mom and me?!

You ask me a series of weighty questions.

A man has no need for soft words like "why."

Though we are both titans, we cannot abide being equals.

Zeus believes himself to be the supreme ruler, but I refuse to accept that.

I hear you were in Athena's camp.

How do you mean?

Zeus is a senile old fool,

but making that little girl a general?!

Did you meet a girl by the name of resphoina?

She's your sister.

Rumor has it she's resigned to her fate as Athena's attendant.

Ah, well.

Listen, I shall do what I must.

The only way to get what I want is by grabbing it with my own hands.

I'll show you...

My way of war.

Stay in formation!

I can smell it, riding on the wind.
