Original subtitles

Go away, you worms!

Who are you?

You are still here?

I am Moog the Rock Giant

Why do you come to disturb my sleep?

I did not want to disturb you,

but the silver wolves have...

The silver wolves?

These henchmen of Grunwald are still here then.

Grunwald?

Yes, a travelling plague, who prevails in the corner.

- What's there? - Nothing.

It's nothing but a thorn..

A thorn?

I will remove it.

It's not worth the effort.

A little boy like you will never be able to remove it from me.

Here it is!

Don't insist!

You waste your time.

Wait....

That's it!

- I have it! - What? You have it?

You are really full of resources!

It's a sword...

That's right.

But it's no ordinary sword. It's called "The Sword of the Sun".

The Sword of the Sun?

If you want it, I give it to you

Yes.

But... But I don't think myself able to reforge it.

I'll make it!

You won't make it alone!

Listen to me...

If you manage to reforge it,

and if, through time, you end up controlling it

you will return to see me,

and you will show me your prowesses.

And from this day on, you will be the Prince of the Sun.

And all will call you thus.

Horus!

Come... Come quickly! Your father... is dying!

Father!

Father! Hold on!

Horus, before I die

I must tell you something.

No father! Don't die! Don't leave me alone!

Listen to me, Horus !

In early days,

our village rose on the peaceful shores of the North Sea.

One day, a demon appeared.

- A demon? - Yes.

A terrible demon.

It benefitted from our vile hearts,

it divided the people,

and destroyed the village.

I had no more hope for the village.

I just wanted to save you

and gave up everything.

Now, I realize my cowardice.

Leave, Horus !

You...

Go there to see your people.

My people?

What is it, father?

What is my people?

Be brave and courageous!

Fight with this axe,

and you will never have anything to fear.

Don't die! Don't die, father!

Father!

What will be now ?

Koro, do you want to leave with me?

Of course! I will go anywhere at your side!

But where?

Get onboard, Koro !

Hey, where do we go?

Where the men live!

Where my people lives!

What's that?

An arrow.

Koro, there are men nearby!

I don't see anything.

Horus, look!

A whale!

Oh, it is only a dune!

That fooled me.

What is there?

Horus ! Help me!

Hold tight!

Horus!

Go to the humans!

Go to the village!

Thus you left yourself there, young man.

Who are you?

The name is Grunwald, must be still unknown for you.

- Grunwald ? - Don't move!

I don't want to kill you.

I intended to speak about your qualities,

then I come to propose to you to become my brother.

- Your brother? - Yes.

My power and my skills

are unequalled on Earth.

You only make use of it to destroy and kill!

Someone told you of me then?

Who would join you?

Thinking of it...

Your life is in my hands,

the world is in my hand.

Can you refuse my offer?

No... Nobody could.

I don't go! You can't do anything against me.

And what will you do?

I will fight! I will kill you!

Fool!

Die!

That's the fate of those who cross my way.

The world belongs to me!

Wait! Wait!

Wait for me!

What's that!

How are you?

Okay.

What are you saying? The melted iron is magnificent, isn't it?

But the wrought iron is even more beautiful!

- Like this one? - Perfect.

Your sword saved you

COuld you reforge it?

Brilliant!

Oh, are you already in a position to pick it up?

Yes, have a look.

Very good. Then, eat with your hunger,

even if we have only little to offer to you

At that time of the year, the fish upstream usually pullulate, but...

Thank you for this meal!

Soon, all will return to normal.

I hope so.

Do you doubt it?

Murus is crafty and courageous, you know it well.

- Yes, I know. - He will kill it quickly.

Kill?

Um well,

the men left to face the giant fish

which settled in the cascade, downstream.

Don't worry.

Mom!

Frip!

Dad is...

Don't cry any more.

I will avenge you.

I already told you, chief! It's useless.

It's no ordinary fish.

We shouldn't anger it.

- Is it better to leave it alone? - No, I saw it.

I saw it attacking Murus.

Moreover, this monster is also attacking the animals, even the birds!

Everybody listen to me!

Murus said that the village will die if we don't do anything.

It's true! The death of Murus should not be in vain!

Yes! You are right!

- Let's leave! - Take me along! Take me with you!

Stop, please!

Don't go to die! Don't waste your lives!

We must be able to act differently...

You're right.

Murus was wrong.

Think of the widows and the orphans that you will leave behind.

And if the village dies of hunger?

No, Bordo.

We'll fight together, cunningly, instead of fighting alone with force.

Listen to me, please...

Even if it means risking our lives, it's better doing it together than alone.

What's happening?

Nobody to avenge Murus?

Very good.

Then everything's useless!

I got it!

I made it!

You lie!

You lie! You lie!

Is it true?

You really have....

You lie! They are lies!

You are not right!

You are not right!

It is me who was going to kill it.

I was to avenge my father! I was to kill the monster!

I am sorry... Frip.

Ah, listen to me!

Look! Look!

Dad! Dad!

Look at that!

Do the fish go up the river?

Come, come

Come, come

Swim with all your might

Fill up the river

Hurry up until the end of the day

I heard your exploit. Congratulations!

I am Potom. Come with us!

Come, come

Come, come

Swim with might

Fill up the river

Hurry up, hurry up

Hurry up, hurry up

Beautiful salmons

Go up the current

Sing, sing, prosperous fisherman

Sing, sing, prosperous fisherman

A village! People!

Ah, something to eat!

Hey over there!

Aye !

Stop! Stop! Thief!

Stop!

Everybody come help me!

Koro!

- Koro! - Horus!

What? Is this little runt still alife?

And it killed my faithful fish...

...and you didn't do anything?

No, you will not have me.

Never! I have more than one trick up my sleeve.

Go! And quiet all those who are opposed to me.

I should not underestimate him.

I must eliminate him before he becomes even more powerful.

He'll be removed from my life.

Then the silver wolf that you saw would be...

Yes, it is a servant of Grunwald.

This demon watches us?

don't worry, if it attacks, we all will face it

and we will push it back. We will defeat it!

Horus! Horus! Horus!

A gift for you!

Look.

It was that of my husband. He held to it very much.

- Horus, come. - Come play with us.

Let's have fun! This evening, we celebrate the exploit of Horus!

See how, because of him they put you, you the chief, to the side.

This little plague is celebrated as a hero.

Little plague!

Nobody can testify that he killed this monster for good.

But the fish have returned.

That's right. He tries to fool us.

We are about to get set up.

That's right.

Hey! Wait a second!

I told you to wait!

Wolves! A whole pack approaches!

Hey! What are you doing with my warehouse? It is mine!

We're assembling a palisade to protect the village.

Oh, but it is my shop! My shop!

They have arrived!

Heh?

I can't see it anymore.

Heh? Where is it?

The bird crosses the lake The bird crosses the field

Answer, answer my prayers

Come, come solitary bird, melancholic bird

The foliage rustles and the grass undulates

Who are you?

You don't live in the village, do you?

Who are you?

Horus. I come from a village, in the East.

Well...

And you?

I have no home.

No village would keep me.

Why?

My village was destroyed by a demon.

I am the only survivor.

The demon has cast a spell on me.

But I still have something left ...

My songs.

The demon destroyed your village, too?

This is Chiro, a very dear friend.

And Toto, another dear friend.

As for me, I am called Hilda,

and I sing merrily...

A bird singing on a narrow perched high branch, alone

Always alone

You must feel very lonely...

Just like I was.

You too?

Then we are like brother and sister!

Twins...

That's it! Twins!

Accompany me to the village.

I am sure that they will accept you and like your songs.

If they accept me, I'll stay with pleasure.

And I will sing with all of my heart.

Hilda's songs are the most beautiful songs of the world.

But... they are a little sad.

Come!

What? Horus brought back a little girl?!

He must ask me for permission!

It is him who encouraged the villagers to destroy my shop!

That's true.

It is time for him to know who's in charge here!

You come first, and second... that's me!

In the past, in the past, God rose and said

"Sleep still all of you, my tender children"

In the past, in the past, an otter said

"Have pity my God, remove the claws of the brown bears"

What a beautiful voice!

She sings well.

"Sleep still my dear otters, the brown bears don't have claws anymore"

In the past, in the past, a small animal said

"Have pity my God, the otters devour all the fish"

What's happening? Where are you going?

Bordo?

I'm stopping.

"Sleep still my dear little one, I cast fire on the otters"

Nobody works anymore when Hilda starts to sing.

What shall we two do?

That's not right!

In the past, in the past, God said

"Sleep still, my dear children"

I have an idea... We make use of that girl.

Good idea. Use Hilda to destroy them!

I don't want to work anymore.

Hilda, Hilda ! Everyone speaks only about her!

Nobody works.

Horus works.

But even Horus can't do everything alone!

You can help him.

Nobody thinks about the village anymore.

What will we do if the demon returns?

Look at yourself.

You also, you were embanked by Hilda... by a girl!

Potom!

He's at the forge.

I have just seen the silver wolf again!

I will reforge the Sword of the Sun and then kill it.

Nobody works anymore.

But if we don't finish this...

Well? Is the legendary sword ready?

Is it that one?

Hilda!

No...

That's not it.

Are you well?

Yes...

But what is it...?

You must be tired.

It will fight you without a break.

Horus!

What happened? You have a suffering expression.

I feel well.

Indeed, you are well.

This sword is impossible to reforge...

But I still have the axe left.

With my father's axe

I will kill the demon which destroyed your village and mine.

Impossible!

One can't kill the demon!

Even with this sword!

Hilda !

The Sword of the Sun!

Tell Hilda that she doesn't have anything to fear.

And don't forget that she is my sister.

Very well, Master Grunwald.

And tell her...

to rid us of Horus once and for all.

And then my sword will be...

You are back...

How do you like the village?

By the way, I would like to ask you something...

Do you want to help me to render a service to the village?

You, render a service to the village?

Don't laugh, I am serious.

The chief is a mulehead, and Potom is still young.

There's still Horus.

He is dangerous...

There is only me who can lead the village.

But I need your songs.

If you sing for me, everyone will obey me.

People forget everything when they hear you, as in a dream.

Agreed.

I will sing...

I will sing for you.

Hilda, I want to show you something!

Do you like it?

You want to wear it, too?

It is for Biria.

Soon you will take Biria's place.

And we will sew for you.

Isn't this it, you all?

Yes, Hilda will make a bride as pretty as Biria.

Who will be your husband?

It will be Horus.

Ayee!

Oh my dear,

it is necessary to know how to sew to be a good wife.

It's the first time, it's normal...

Look, you do it like that.

What good can it be?

What?

It's useless.

No matter what you do, everything will turn to ashes!

To ashes!

Hilda !

I have better to do than embroidery!

This reddening sundown is the heart of Rusan.

This reddening sundown is the heart of Biria.

They sing for each other.

They dance for each other.

Rusan is madly in love with Biria

Biria is madly in love with Rusan

Rusan is madly in love with Biria

Biria is madly in love with Rusan

All these babies are those of Rusan and Biria

Very full very full for Rusan and Biria

Triplets? Quadruplets? For Rusan and Biria!

Very full very full for Rusan and Biria

Rusan is madly in love with Biria

Come with us Hilda!

Biria is madly in love with Rusan

Rusan is madly in love with Biria

Biria is madly in love with Rusan

Hilda, sing for us.

What's up Hilda?

We will miss the marriage.

You already missed the silver wolf...

and now, we will miss the banquet.

Horus, your axe disappeared.

Biria!

Biria!

Biria...

Biria.

Don't worry. All is well Rusan.

Take me along! Take me along into our house.

What happened?

The rats attacked us.

Rats?

I see.

It is he who did it,

the silver wolf.

The silver wolf?

That's curious.

There is only you who saw this wolf. And nobody saw you killing the monster.

The village is devastated by the rats

and you alone know nothing.

Why?

There was a man like you in my village.

When the demon attacked, he was gone.

Why?

Hilda!

Hilda is right.

Since Horus is here, we have only misfortunes.

Here. Everything happens as predicted...

Soon, I will be able to drive out Horus.

The rats arrived just at the right time.

God is with me.

But that's...

Isn't this the axe of Horus?

Give... Give it to me...

Hilda... Thank you!

I appreciate your gesture!

The sun is shining all up there

A kitten climbs on the back of a dog

Bowwow! Bowwow! What will it do?

Ah! Here is Hilda!

Hilda, come play with us.

Hilda, come play! Come play! Come play!

The sun is shining all up there

A kitten climbs on the back of a dog

Bowwow! Bowwow! What will it do?

Let's go there!

Hilda, come!

Hey Hilda, come...

No, like that...

You see?

That's not funny.

Hey Hilda, sing!

Sing your favourite song.

Agreed, I will sing it.

No. Pardon me, Mauni.

Hilda can't sing with her heart...

Mauni!

Very good, mistress Hilda.

Continue, and reduce this village to ashes.

Master Grunwald awaits nothing more than that, and the death of Horus.

Soon, these children will sleep a very different sleep...

No!

I will save Mauni.

At least her.

What do you hope by saving Mauni, Hilda?

Shall it give you a good conscience?

Mauni would then become another Hilda.

Another Hilda, recluse and sad, without anybody to comfort her.

Quiet, Chiro!

Hilda, why don't you live like the other villagers?

Cultivate flowers, make embroidery, and found a hearth, like Biria?

Quiet!

Mistress Hilda strives for much higher things.

Men die one day or the other,

but Mistress Hilda is immortal.

This charm of life that Master Grunwald gave her protects her.

Are you afraid of dying?

Do you prefer eternal life, even if it means killing Horus and Mauni?

Quiet! Quiet!

No, it is not true!

I am the demon's sister.

I have one goal, to kill the men!

No, you can't say that!

I am a demon!

The sister of the demon!

Hilda!

Master Grunwald had told you not to utter any more stupidities.

You forget quickly.

I will teach you how not to forget anymore.

Forgive me! I swear to say no more stupidities. I swear it...

Forgive me!

Rusty Color, distant color, solitary star

Someone calls me

Come, small bird without wings

Come, small bird without a song

From where do you come?

Where do you go?

Why do you stop?

What troubles you, Hilda?

Nothing!

You must feel very lonely like that...

You can't help me.

It's nothing!

Tell me what troubles you.

What troubles me?

It troubles me, that soon I will kill you with my own hands.

Kill me?

Reassure yourself, nobody will kill me.

All men will die one day!

Hilda!

Darn, I missed him!

Horus!

What's happening?

Horus!

How dare you...?

You know who this axe belongs to?

Where did you find it?

Somebody tried to assassinate my father with this axe!

What?

Don't deny it!

I lost it in the forest yesterday.

You lost it?

Yes, when I threw it at the silver wolf.

Quiet!

Only you claim to have seen this silver wolf!

And no-one other knows your famous demon!

If there is a demon in this world

it is you, who wanted to assassinate me!

Do you have proof?

This axe is proof enough!

It could very well have been me, if I had had the axe.

What?

I say that no matter who, everybody could have done it.

It is true! It can't be Horus!

Ask Hilda.

I was with her! I have just returned!

How could I...

Hilda said that you were not with her.

Hilda!

I understand. Hilda is the culprit!

No, Hilda doesn't have anything to do with it!

We are all set.

He should be killed...

Hilda, why...

Hilda watch out!

You are witnesses!

He wanted to kill Hilda because she opposed him.

Do you still support Horus?

Let's do it! Let's banish him!

What a malicious man!

Stop, Koro!

Catch him!

Think it over!

Hey, listen to me!

Move it! We don't want you!

Please, calm down!

Watch it, he flees!

No, I don't flee!

I will return, and I will show you that the demon exists.

Don't do that! You will not be able to overcome it without the Sword of the Sun.

Horus!

Hilda!

Where are you going?

I know where the demon hides. I will kill it this time!

Before that, you will have to fight against me.

You don't know anything.

Hilda, who you helped, is your enemy.

What are you saying?

My poor Horus, you also, you are only a man...

Just like this fool Drago, and these opportunist villagers.

I don't understand. What do you want to say, Hilda?

I will tell you...

Hilda is the sister of Master Grunwald.

What?

It is on his order that we stole your axe and tried to kill the chief.

The horde of wolves and rats were also his orders

to exterminate the human beings from the surface of the Earth!

Lies!

Hilda, tell me it's not true!

I will show you who I really am.

We die when all men abandon you.

No, Hilda is not a demon!

And even then, she can become human again!

I don't want to become human again!

You are mistaken! You tell yourself lies!

No, you lie!

Remember your song. It says...

Quiet, little fool!

Now, Mistress Hilda!

Well done.

It is horrible!

You killed Horus! It is horrible!

I don't love you any more Hilda! It is over!

Chiro...

Good-bye.

Good-bye, Hilda.

I will not show myself any more in front of Master Grunwald.

Where are you going?

To the village!

And even if Master Grunwald wants to kill me,

or even you Hilda,

I prefer being with the men.

Good-bye, Hilda.

Chiro...

Horus fell into the Forest of Doubt.

Nice work, Hilda.

The Forest of Doubt is deep and without end.

He will wander about and die.

Hilda, I beg you... Become human again!

Explore your feelings! The compassion which moved your heart!

You will find your humanity, even if I must die over it!

Look in which state he is.

There is nothing to laugh, big brother!

What!

Horus will return...

And there will be others like him.

Stupidities!

No, some day people will trust Horus.

From the bottom of their hearts.

Quiet!

I will kill them, no matter how many they are!

Go, Hilda, and kill Horus!

No!

What!

I will return to the northern regions!

I will live in the glaciers of the Cold Lake.

Very well, I will show you how you will die,

you who disobeyed me...

See...

This is how you will die.

Go.

Kill Horus,

It is him or you.

Rusty color, distant color, solitary star

Hilda.

Hilda.

Someone calls me

It was a lie then?

All that...

Come...

Horus, Horus!

What's happening?

The demon!

It is the demon of which Horus told us!

The demon?

My God!

Snow!

What shall we do, grandfather?

Help!

Grandfather! Potom! Koro!

Go! We don't want you here!

Go where your people lives.

My people? Which is it, father?

Which is my people?

I will tell you.

I will tell you who I really am.

Mistress Hilda is the sister of Master Grunwald.

I would like to have you as a brother.

You too?

Then we would be like brother and sister.

Twins.

That's it. Twins.

Don't come closer, Hilda!

Twins.

Go away!

Father!

Chief, it is necessary to fight!

To fight?

Let's make a large fire, and let's protect the village all together.

All together?

Bordo and others already gathered.

Those who want to join us come to my house.

Hilda weakens those who listen to her.

Hilda caused the loss of Horus.

You are not the true Hilda!

Hilda divided you all.

It is you who divided us!

Hilda divided you.

Divided.

I see.

I believe that I understood.

The exit!

I understood, grandfather!

Hilda!

Let's go to the village together!

I was right.

I found the means of definitively getting rid of the other Hilda!

Hilda, you will become human again.

Let's return to the village.

Let's drive out the other Hilda!

With Courage!

Show her the force of the true Hilda!

Did you understand? You are really human again.

Good-bye Horus.

Hilda.

Our brother will do something at the village.

He will help Frip and Mauni.

Hilda.

Is that okay?

What does fleeing help?

That's right!

The demon will follow us where-ever we flee.

Where-ever we are!

Look!

Even a demon is not invincible.

We fight! Even if it means dying, let's die for our village!

It is right, we fight until the last!

The Sword of the Sun!

Horus!

I found the solution.

It is with fire, that the whole village will lite, that we will reforge it.

And it will be the ultimate weapon for us to get rid of the demon.

Everyone help me! Let's go!

- Horus! - Horus!

- Horus! - Horus...!

Horus...!

Hold it!

What are you doing, Hilda?

Take my charm of life and go.

- Hilda? - Hilda!

Hilda!

Hilda!

It is finished!

But that's...

What the hell!

Quickly, hurry!

Blasted Horus!

You will make it!

We are attacked from the other side!

Thank you, Moog!

Nice work...

That's quite a beautiful sword.

Frip.

Horus, take that, and you will be able to fly.

Hilda gave it to us.

Hilda?

Cursed Hilda, she betrayed me.

Horus.

I take care of the mammoth.

Over there!

There!

The sun!

Let us raise our harpoons!

What about Hilda?

Dead?

How?

How can I live without the charm?

Hilda!

Hilda!

Hilda!

- Hilda! - Mauni!

Hilda!

Hilda.

- Hilda! - Chiro!

Come.

Let's be on our way!

The End
