Sistana Shaken

SISTANA SHAKEN
[Kalden] I must thank you
for deciding to come.
Sir Ironside.
[Ironside] Let me
get straight to the point.
Is the search for the thing
I asked for going well?
All that's known is that
it's located within this city.
I'm afraid we haven't been able
to find it yet, sir.
But we're giving
the search everything we've got.
[soft grunt]
[Anne] Father, I can tell
that you're lying.
[Ironside] only gratitude
- for your efforts.
- [Anne] But not more than him
[Ironside] I swear by the name of my king
to protect this city from the evil hand
of wicked Liones with my life.
[Anne] This man hasn't spoken
a single truthful word.
He gives me the creeps.
[Ironside] My! I haven't seen
your daughter in years.
She's blossomed into a beautiful woman.
I'd love to introduce her to my son.
What do you think?
Say the word and I'll arrange it.
[Anne] Well, like anyone would want
to meet your son.
Anne, you're to answer him.
- Anne!
- [gasps]
You are lost in thought again.
[Ironside] It's all right.
People her age have
many worries on their minds.
Sorry, Father. Forgive me.
[Ironside] If you do happen
to discover it, young lady,
please inform your father.
It's an ancient relief carved with figures
of people offering their prayers.
The fragment of
the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
That's the object we're looking for.
[narrator] Britannia.
Once before in this realm,
the Holy Knights of the Kingdom of Liones
staged a coup d'état.
The devastating fires of war that ensued
threatened to consume
the entire continent.
But thanks to the emergence
of the legendary heroes
known as the Seven Deadly Sins,
the catastrophic war
was brought to an end.
This story takes place 16 years
after those events.
[theme music]
[quirky music]
[effort grunt]
- [splashes]
- [Donny] I did it!
It's a big one too!
Line up! Count off!
- [mini Percivals] I'll win
- [Percival grumbles]
These guys aren't moving
the way I want them to.
I guess that makes sense.
After all, magic does reflect
the user's personality and mental state.
- [Nasiens] Look at this!
- [both] Huh?
The mini Percivals changed color
when I gave them poison.
[laughs]
They're so cool!
Don't give them that.
Oh. And, uh, Percy.
What is it?
When you defeated Talisker
The weapon that you imagined,
was it a sword?
No, actually, it was this.
Ouroboros!
[Nasiens, Donny yelp in surprise]
It's a kitchen knife I got from Grandpa.
That's clearly a magic sword but okay.
No, it's a kitchen knife.
My grandpa told me that himself.
By the way, you mentioned that
your helmet and cape were keepsakes.
But who exactly was your grandfather?
Mm, wish I could tell you.
All I know is he was once
a Holy Knight like Ironside.
That's why I'm gonna do
whatever it takes to go to Cammymott
[grunts]
so I can find that guy and make him pay.
About that, I have doubts
about this plan of yours.
[Nasiens] How could Camelot still exist
after being destroyed 16 years ago?
And how can it be reached
from the Kingdom of Liones?
[grunts]
Sin isn't lying. It still exists.
Trust me. I can tell!
If you say so, Percival.
[Donny moans softly]
I'm so stuffed, I don't wanna get up.
[Percival] Wish we could just whoosh
and fly there with magic.
[groans softly]
[Percival, Donny exclaim]
Hey, Sin! The magic orb you used that day!
With that, we can reach Liones
in a flash, right?
Nope. No, can't do.
That was the last one I had.
Argh!
Then why didn't you use it
to take us to Liones?
I was in a rush so I couldn't help it.
It's not my fault.
[Nasiens] Um, an incantation orb?
Is that what you're referring to?
You've heard of those?
Yes. What's more
They're said to have been crafted
by the mage Merlin herself.
She was one of the legendary knights
of the Seven Deadly Sins
who imbued them
with various magical abilities.
[grunts]
She also put together the ancient document
with a record of all poisons
from different ages!
Oh, what I'd give to see
the ancient document
of the Boar's Sin just once!
- [Percival] You're bleeding!
- [Donny groans]
[Donny] Great.
So we're stuck with walking, huh?
Are we there yet?
'Cause I'm craving a bed
to sleep in tonight.
[Nasiens] It's just beyond this hill.
Here we come!
[gasps]
So this is Sistana!
Whoa!
[mini Percivals] It's here.
It's here. It's here
- It's here. It's here. It's here.
- [all] Huh?
Wait up! What's gotten
into you guys anyway?
[mini Percivals] It's here.
It's here. It's here.
[Percival] You think
there's something here?
[Nasiens] Looks like
it's been dug up and buried again.
On top of everything,
you even have a "searcher" ability?
What the heck is this?
Hey, is that real?
[Anne] Who are you?
And what are you doing?
[all] Huh?
[Anne] I need you to put that down
and get out of here at once!
Huh?
[Anne] If you intend on handing
the fragment over to that man,
I'll butcher you.
What the hell is her problem?
Is that how you speak to strangers?
Hold on a second, isn't she
We just stumbled onto this by accident!
So what is it you think we're doing here?
How do you stumble
onto something that's buried?
It sounds like a cover-up.
A hidden rapier!
[grunts]
You wanna fight?
[gasps, grunts]
[groans]
- [Percival] Are you all right?
- Argh Okay, that one really hurt
It's not like that.
We don't wanna fight you.
You're just saying that
because I'm a woman, right?
[grunting]
Coward!
Agh!
[grunts]
[Percival] Nasiens!
Utterly pathetic.
And you call yourselves companions
of that Holy Knight?
Who exactly are you talking about?
Quit playing dumb!
And return the fragment to me.
Here.
Huh?
It's yours, so take it.
Uh
After all, it wasn't really us
who found it in the first place.
Who else could have? Don't lie to me.
[Anne] I knew it. He is hiding something.
- And this guy's full of lies!
- [grunting]
I bet you're no different from them.
Huh?
[twinkles]
Huh? This kid doesn't have
any lies or secrets?
So, who found it?
- [mini Percivals whimpering]
- They did and led us right to it.
[gasps]
Oh, good.
The misunderstanding's been cleared up.
You call this "good"?
Hey, kid.
What's the name of that Holy Knight
you were just talking about?
How dare you call me a kid!
Wait, did you just speak?
[maid] Pardon me, Lady Anne.
[gasps]
Please come back.
His Grace is quite upset
with your leaving.
- Quickly! Hide it under your cape!
- But you said it was
Make sure none of the citizens
see you with it.
Just do as I say.
And whatever you do,
don't give it to the man named Ironside.
[both gasp]
That name you just said
[grunts]
Have a pleasant day,
gentlemen, and farewell.
[grumbles]
[soft tense music]
I guess that woman
must have been Anghalhad,
she's the daughter of the lord.
I've seen her a couple of times
when I was here with Ordo.
Okay, but what's this weird thing
she was so desperate for us to hide?
Even I've never seen it
in person until now.
[Donny] You know what it is?
[Sin] It's a fragment
of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
A magic item of legend
made by a Giant craftsperson.
Of legend?
How much could we get if we sold it?
Moron.
What's the matter, Percival?
You're normally never this quiet.
Judging from the way
she talked about that bastard,
Ironside is here, and this might be
my only chance to confront him.
What are you gonna do after that?
I'm gonna make him tell me about Grandpa.
[Sin] Do you have
any chance of beating him?
If what you told us is true,
a fight with that guy is bad news.
It could endanger the people of this city.
Ugh
[Sin] Do you have a way
to confirm that he's the real Ironside?
Can you avenge your grandfather
with your present abilities?
More importantly, why is your dad looking
for the Coffin of Eternal Darkness?
You need to know more before meeting him.
[Sin] Am I wrong, Percival?
[sighs deeply]
[Kalden] Stop wandering out
into town on your own like that!
Who knows what kind of dangers
may fall upon this city at any moment!
Is that what the man named Ironside said?
Why believe what that rogue
tells you anyway?
Everything he's uttered
is complete nonsense! He's lying!
Lower your voice! What if he can hear you?
What I said is true! You're well aware
of my power to see through lies.
You're not to use that power.
Something like that will
only get you hurt.
[Anne] Mother said it was a gift from God,
so why shouldn't I use it?
It doesn't matter.
Ironside is a Holy Knight
who protect the people alongside her!
[Anne grunts angrily]
Like it or not,
we have to follow his orders.
Who knows what he might
do to us if we don't?
We must, in order to protect
the people of this city.
Doing what he said
won't guarantee anyone's safety.
You don't think I know that?
Anne, listen. You are still only a child!
So just keep quiet and do as I tell you!
I'm not just a kid anymore.
[Anne] I'm 16, Father.
One day, I'll be a Holy Knight myself!
That way, if danger ever falls
upon this city,
then I can be the one to fend it off!
- [grunts]
- [Anne] So stand up for yourself
and stop letting that strange man
boss you around!
[slapping]
I won't tolerate this talk!
- [shaky breathes]
- [door opens]
Pardon me, it's almost time, Your Grace.
Very well.
[Kalden] You're not
to leave your room again.
- [receding footsteps]
- [sobbing]
[door closes]
[suspenseful music]
[man 1] So that's Lord Kalden's friend
I've heard about.
Sir Ironside, right?
[man 2] They say he's a Holy Knight
who serves a well-known king.
I don't understand.
What does a Holy Knight want with us?
[man 3] Could it be connected to
whatever he's looking for?
It's really Ironside.
[angry grunt]
- [Percival yelping]
- Hey, cut it out.
Percival.
Get a grip, Percy.
Sorry.
- [Ironside] Citizens of Sistana
- [citizens gasp]
I thank you for gathering tonight.
I've arrived here to inform you
of the catastrophe and salvation
rapidly closing in on this city.
Catastrophe?
So is he saying
something bad is gonna happen?
[Ironside] This might make things
easier to explain.
[gasping]
Look at the missing part of the relief
[Nasiens] The fragment Anghalhad entrusted
Percival fits perfectly inside.
[Sin] This is bad.
Huh?
If that relief he has becomes whole,
something terrible is gonna happen.
[Percival] What are you talking about?
What will happen if he gets
the other half of that relief we have?
[Sin] Nothing good.
It was originally created
to seal away the demon race.
[Percival] Seal away?
[Sin] That's right.
And in order to activate it,
the goddess race sacrificed themselves.
Then what is he planning
on doing with that now?
The demon race vanished
from Britannia, right?
After the Holy War 16 years ago.
I'll get around to explaining that later.
The real problem is how it happened.
Sounds like you're referring
to the sacrifice
the goddess race made, right?
Yeah.
[Sin] If he does intend to activate it,
they aren't here to offer themselves up.
Ugh
[Sin] Which means your dad
is plotting something horrible.
He wants to use
the people of this city as a sacrifice.
- [gasps]
- Are you serious
- Be quiet!
- [muffled grunt]
[Percival] I think we ought to
take down Ironside right now!
Calm down, kid.
[grumbles]
The last fragment, if it's in our hands,
we can't be rash.
It's best if we take it out of the city.
After we came all this way
and finally found him?
Percy, I understand how you're feeling.
But right now, we have to put
the lives of the people before our own.
[angry grunt]
[Sin] Not to mention,
you don't stand a chance
against him with your current skills.
[Ironside] This Coffin of Eternal Darkness
features a fairy, a Giant, a goddess,
a dragon representing chaos, and a human
It's an ancient ritual artifact
consisting of five fragments.
The assistance I have been seeking
involves locating the final fragment
that fits within it.
Once the artifact becomes whole,
he'll then be able to perform
the ritual in order to protect Sistana.
So I ask for your cooperation.
And Sir Holy Knight,
what is this catastrophe?
[Ironside] The Four Knights
of the Apocalypse
are prophesied to destroy the world.
As we speak, the Kingdom of Liones
is gathering these devils
in order to take down Britannia!
They're doing what?
The Kingdom of Liones?
[Anne] Everyone,
don't believe a word this man says.
Everything he's been telling you is a lie!
Anne!
[all gasp]
[man 1] It's Lady Anne.
[man 2] So this Holy Knight is lying?
[man 3] How dare she insult a Knight!
[Kalden] Anne, stand down now!
[Ironside] There, there.
Outbursts are common for people her age.
I'm sure she's just trying
to garner some attention from this.
Unfortunately
I'm not.
I can distinguish the truth
from a lie in someone.
Anne, stop it!
[Ironside] You shouldn't
lie yourself, young lady.
Afraid you're wrong.
This ability is my magic.
[Ironside] In that case,
I cannot overlook it.
[grunts]
[tense music]
Sir Ironside, please!
My daughter doesn't know any better.
I'll punish her if only you forgive her.
[Ironside] My, my! How undisciplined.
[gasps]
Now's our chance to leave
while they're fighting.
Good idea! Come on.
- [both grunt]
- Percival!
Let her go!
You've got to be kidding!
Ugh, move it!
Who is that?
He's not from here.
[Ironside] You.
So you really did survive my onslaught.
That helmet and cape you're wearing
Have you come
to exact revenge for Varghese?
What is he doing here?
[Ironside] Or have you come
to take the Coffin of Eternal Darkness?
[mini Percivals yelping]
[Ironside] What are these?
[pants, grunts]
[Anne gasps]
Anne!
[Ironside grunts]
[grunting]
[clamoring]
Anne!
What are you doing? You could've just
killed my daughter in the crossfire!
[Ironside] A small sacrifice
for a greater cause.
[gasps]
What? I see. Well done.
[panting]
Percival isn't with us!
What do we do? Should we turn back?
He won't go down so easily
in his current condition.
Securing the fragment
needs to be our top priority.
[gasps]
Wait! That's the maid
of that girl Anne, isn't it?
[Sin] Hey, stop!
[Nasiens] It flew!
That was Ironside's familiar.
It was probably spying for him.
Hey, you guys!
Are you okay, Percy?
[Percival] Where's the thing Anne left us?
[Sin] It was taken.
- [gasps]
- Huh?
Ironside! What are you doing?
[grunts]
[Sin] Now that it's come to this,
we have to remain calm.
He needs a blood sacrifice
to activate the artifact.
[chimes]
In other words, if he manages to slaughter
everyone in the city, then he wins.
[gasps]
Slaughters everyone?
Before that happens,
we need to try and break the relic.
If not, we need to do what we can
and at least grab a piece of it.
So then
you're ready to take this on?
Of course, I am! I'll never let
that bastard have his way again!
[sighs]
Why is it always like this with Percival?
Can we just run?
Well, I'll be happy to assist you.
After all, you're my favorite guinea pig.
Thank you, Nasiens! Yay!
[whimpers]
Ugh! Fine! I'll do it, leave me alone!
You're the best, Donny. Whoopee!
I'll go as well.
As the daughter of the city's lord,
I have a duty to protect all our people.
It's settled. Ironside should be starting
the ritual right away.
Time is of the essence now.
We have to stop
this thing no matter what it takes.
[grunts]
I'll go and get ready for whatever
might happen during the ritual.
And Percy, don't try to engage
in a real fight with that guy.
Keep in mind that he's at least
ten times stronger than you imagine.
Yeah, I got it.
Start the mission!
[action music]
[all panting]
Anyway, I'm glad you were safe.
Rushing in head-first is stupid,
even for you, Percival!
My body acted before I could even think.
Well, I didn't ask you
to rescue me back there!
[both grumble]
With that said, thank you.
[Percival] Um-hm.
[Anne] My name is Anne, Anghalhad.
[Percival pants]
I'm Percival!
This is Donny and Nasiens.
The fox back there is Sin.
Still, I can't believe
all this is happening.
Is he really trying
to sacrifice the whole city?
So, Percival, how do you know Ironside?
He's the man who killed my grandpa.
That Holy Knight killed your grandfather?
How despicable!
He intended on setting me up
with his son as a potential spouse,
but I bet he's also a scoundrel,
just like his father!
[Ironside] Your embrace that is a wedge,
and your kiss that is a chain.
I offer you the blood and souls
of these children of mankind
to seal away those beings once again.
[dramatic music]
Now, arise, creatures of chaos.
Use this city's inhabitants as sacrifices
and pour their blood
into the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
[closing theme music]

Line up! Count off!
- [mini Percivals] I'll win
- [Percival grumbles]
These guys aren't moving
the way I want them to.
I guess that makes sense.
After all, magic does reflect
the user's personality and mental state.

Utterly pathetic.

any chance of beating him?
If what you told us is true,
a fight with that guy is bad news.
It could endanger the people of this city.
Ugh
[Sin] Do you have a way
to confirm that he's the real Ironside?
Can you avenge your grandfather
with your present abilities?
More importantly, why is your dad looking
for the Coffin of Eternal Darkness?
You need to know more before meeting him.
[Sin] Am I wrong, Percival?
[sighs deeply]
[Kalden] Stop wandering out
into town on your own like that!
Who knows what kind of dangers
may fall upon this city at any moment!
Is that what the man named Ironside said?
Why believe what that rogue
tells you anyway?
Everything he's uttered
is complete nonsense! He's lying!
Lower your voice! What if he can hear you?
What I said is true! You're well aware
of my power to see through lies.
You're not to use that power.
Something like that will
only get you hurt.
[Anne] Mother said it was a gift from God,
so why shouldn't I use it?
It doesn't matter.
Ironside is a Holy Knight
who protect the people alongside her!
[Anne grunts angrily]
Like it or not,
we have to follow his orders.
Who knows what he might
do to us if we don't?
We must, in order to protect
the people of this city.
Doing what he said
won't guarantee anyone's safety.
You don't think I know that?
Anne, listen. You are still only a child!
So just keep quiet and do as I tell you!
I'm not just a kid anymore.
[Anne] I'm 16, Father.
One day, I'll be a Holy Knight myself!
That way, if danger ever falls
upon this city,
then I can be the one to fend it off!
- [grunts]
- [Anne] So stand up for yourself
and stop letting that strange man
boss you around!
[slapping]
I won't tolerate this talk!
- [shaky breathes]
- [door opens]
Pardon me, it's almost time, Your Grace.
Very well.
[Kalden] You're not
to leave your room again.
- [receding footsteps]
- [sobbing]
[door closes]
[suspenseful music]
[man 1] So that's Lord Kalden's friend
I've heard about.
Sir Ironside, right?
[man 2] They say he's a Holy Knight
who serves a well-known king.
I don't understand.
What does a Holy Knight want with us?
[man 3] Could it be connected to
whatever he's looking for?
It's really Ironside.
[angry grunt]
- [Percival yelping]
- Hey, cut it out.
Percival.
Get a grip, Percy.
Sorry.
- [Ironside] Citizens of Sistana
- [citizens gasp]
I thank you for gathering tonight.
I've arrived here to inform you
of the catastrophe and salvation
rapidly closing in on this city.
Catastrophe?
So is he saying
something bad is gonna happen?
[Ironside] This might make things
easier to explain.
[gasping]
Look at the missing part of the relief
[Nasiens] The fragment Anghalhad entrusted
Percival fits perfectly inside.
[Sin] This is bad.
Huh?
If that relief he has becomes whole,
something terrible is gonna happen.
[Percival] What are you talking about?
What will happen if he gets
the other half of that relief we have?
[Sin] Nothing good.
It was originally created
to seal away the demon race.
[Percival] Seal away?
[Sin] That's right.
And in order to activate it,
the goddess race sacrificed themselves.
Then what is he planning
on doing with that now?
The demon race vanished
from Britannia, right?
After the Holy War 16 years ago.
I'll get around to explaining that later.
The real problem is how it happened.
Sounds like you're referring
to the sacrifice
the goddess race made, right?
Yeah.
[Sin] If he does intend to activate it,
they aren't here to offer themselves up.
Ugh
[Sin] Which means your dad
is plotting something horrible.
He wants to use
the people of this city as a sacrifice.
- [gasps]
- Are you serious
- Be quiet!
- [muffled grunt]
[Percival] I think we ought to
take down Ironside right now!
Calm down, kid.
[grumbles]
The last fragment, if it's in our hands,
we can't be rash.
It's best if we take it out of the city.
After we came all this way
and finally found him?
Percy, I understand how you're feeling.
But right now, we have to put
the lives of the people before our own.
[angry grunt]
[Sin] Not to mention,
you don't stand a chance
against him with your current skills.
[Ironside] This Coffin of Eternal Darkness
features a fairy, a Giant, a goddess,
a dragon representing chaos, and a human
It's an ancient ritual artifact
consisting of five fragments.
The assistance I have been seeking
involves locating the final fragment
that fits within it.
Once the artifact becomes whole,
he'll then be able to perform
the ritual in order to protect Sistana.
So I ask for your cooperation.
And Sir Holy Knight,
what is this catastrophe?
[Ironside] The Four Knights
of the Apocalypse
are prophesied to destroy the world.
As we speak, the Kingdom of Liones
is gathering these devils
in order to take down Britannia!
They're doing what?
The Kingdom of Liones?
[Anne] Everyone,
don't believe a word this man says.
Everything he's been telling you is a lie!
Anne!
[all gasp]
[man 1] It's Lady Anne.
[man 2] So this Holy Knight is lying?
[man 3] How dare she insult a Knight!
[Kalden] Anne, stand down now!
[Ironside] There, there.
Outbursts are common for people her age.
I'm sure she's just trying
to garner some attention from this.
Unfortunately
I'm not.
I can distinguish the truth
from a lie in someone.
Anne, stop it!
[Ironside] You shouldn't
lie yourself, young lady.
Afraid you're wrong.
This ability is my magic.
[Ironside] In that case,
I cannot overlook it.
[grunts]
[tense music]
Sir Ironside, please!
My daughter doesn't know any better.
I'll punish her if only you forgive her.
[Ironside] My, my! How undisciplined.
[gasps]
Now's our chance to leave
while they're fighting.
Good idea! Come on.
- [both grunt]
- Percival!
Let her go!
You've got to be kidding!
Ugh, move it!
Who is that?
He's not from here.
[Ironside] You.
So you really did survive my onslaught.
That helmet and cape you're wearing
Have you come
to exact revenge for Varghese?
What is he doing here?
[Ironside] Or have you come
to take the Coffin of Eternal Darkness?
[mini Percivals yelping]
[Ironside] What are these?
[pants, grunts]
[Anne gasps]
Anne!
[Ironside grunts]
[grunting]
[clamoring]
Anne!
What are you doing? You could've just
killed my daughter in the crossfire!
[Ironside] A small sacrifice
for a greater cause.
[gasps]
What? I see. Well done.
[panting]
Percival isn't with us!
What do we do? Should we turn back?
He won't go down so easily
in his current condition.
Securing the fragment
needs to be our top priority.
[gasps]
Wait! That's the maid
of that girl Anne, isn't it?
[Sin] Hey, stop!
[Nasiens] It flew!
That was Ironside's familiar.
It was probably spying for him.
Hey, you guys!
Are you okay, Percy?
[Percival] Where's the thing Anne left us?
[Sin] It was taken.
- [gasps]
- Huh?
Ironside! What are you doing?
[grunts]
[Sin] Now that it's come to this,
we have to remain calm.
He needs a blood sacrifice
to activate the artifact.
[chimes]
In other words, if he manages to slaughter
everyone in the city, then he wins.
[gasps]
Slaughters everyone?
Before that happens,
we need to try and break the relic.
If not, we need to do what we can
and at least grab a piece of it.
So then
you're ready to take this on?
Of course, I am! I'll never let
that bastard have his way again!
[sighs]
Why is it always like this with Percival?
Can we just run?
Well, I'll be happy to assist you.
After all, you're my favorite guinea pig.
Thank you, Nasiens! Yay!
[whimpers]
Ugh! Fine! I'll do it, leave me alone!
You're the best, Donny. Whoopee!
I'll go as well.
As the daughter of the city's lord,
I have a duty to protect all our people.
It's settled. Ironside should be starting
the ritual right away.
Time is of the essence now.
We have to stop
this thing no matter what it takes.
[grunts]
I'll go and get ready for whatever
might happen during the ritual.
And Percy, don't try to engage
in a real fight with that guy.
Keep in mind that he's at least
ten times stronger than you imagine.
Yeah, I got it.
Start the mission!
[action music]
[all panting]
Anyway, I'm glad you were safe.
Rushing in head-first is stupid,
even for you, Percival!
My body acted before I could even think.
Well, I didn't ask you
to rescue me back there!
[both grumble]
With that said, thank you.
[Percival] Um-hm.
[Anne] My name is Anne, Anghalhad.
[Percival pants]
I'm Percival!
This is Donny and Nasiens.
The fox back there is Sin.
Still, I can't believe
all this is happening.
Is he really trying
to sacrifice the whole city?
So, Percival, how do you know Ironside?
He's the man who killed my grandpa.
That Holy Knight killed your grandfather?
How despicable!
He intended on setting me up
with his son as a potential spouse,
but I bet he's also a scoundrel,
just like his father!
[Ironside] Your embrace that is a wedge,
and your kiss that is a chain.
I offer you the blood and souls
of these children of mankind
to seal away those beings once again.
[dramatic music]
Now, arise, creatures of chaos.
Use this city's inhabitants as sacrifices
and pour their blood
into the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
[closing theme music]
