Ah!

Respond.

You come to except the my offer?

No, Afro.

King Cronos asks of you a truce, since today is the feast of Jupiter

Your Jupiter does not allow challenges by weapons...

...on the day dedicated to him.

All towns celebrate the feast of Jupiter on this Island...

...but you're alone now.

Open the gates!

We are ready to die...

...We ask only that you respect what is sacred in life.

The deities of the weak and the losers do not deserve any respect.

Before the sun sets we will be camping in your temples.

You can not do this.

The wrath of Jupiter will destroy you...

...and your wicked and wild hordes...

Here's my answer.

Great one, do not kill me!

Save me at least.

Who would deliver to Cronos the echo of your words...

...and your power...

...if you slay me?

Don't you think so?

Go back to your king and tell him to hand over the city intact.

Save his people a useless massacre.

Come on!

It is worse than it appears.

It is frightening!

We were not even given a chance to talk.

He understood immediately that we hoped to gain time.

He does not care about Jupiter...

...if I may use the expression...

...or any of the gods!

He hurled his spear so hard!

It went straight through him.

I'm Sorry, Daphne.

I could not do anything to save your father.

Have courage.

- A fight to the death. - I agree.

- The sword shall be our response. - Why get us all killed?

We should accept the terms of Afro for the moment.

We have no choice.

Afterwards...

How can we look into the eyes of our women and children...

...if we agree to sell them to the barbarians? -He's right! -He's Right!

We do not have enough soldiers to even man the walls.

We must hold them only one day...

...for tomorrow we will have the help of our allies.

Cronos, you are our king. It's your decision.

I agree with the thoughts of Antero.

It would be better for us to kill our children and wives with our own hands...

...rather than leaving them at the mercy of Afro.

We will fight!

I will avenge your father.

Pray for our victory.

Afro is advancing!

Archers to the walls!

All soldiers to the eastern gate.

- We will leave the sea-ward gate unguarded? - It's impenetrable.

Do not split the forces. we need them.

Poor Daphne!

You are alone...

...but I'll always be near you.

- Trust me. - Thank you.

Mourning makes the girl more fascinating and attractive.

If we are forced to flee from Telbia, who will you save...

...her or me?

Hecuba, you know i love you. - Careful, Antero.

Marrying me will get you closer to the throne, but if you act foolish, I'll walk away.

Do not forget.

Are you sure of this man?

I promised him a lot, the throne even...

...if he can find it after the pillaging!

Even the wind is favorable.

- Are they stupid? - Watch and see!

In this smoke we will lose.

Almighty Jupiter...

...the arrogant wickedness of our enemies...

...has forced us to violate your law...

...by brandishing weapons on the day sacred to you.

Great Olympians...

...send away the destruction and death looming over our heads...

...as Telbia sacrifices to the gods...

...the most beautiful, noble and valuable things it has.

On behalf of those who now fight...

...we all make a solemn prayer.

Now comes the fun!

Ah!

A battering ram. They are wasting their time!

They would not risk so much for no reason.

The door gives way!

Help us Jupiter!

Do You see us? Please Jupiter!

- The gods have left us! - The gods do not care!

The only one who saw me will never speak again.

In a few moments the African soldiers will be here.

You'll get the reward you deserve.

What is happening?

- Those are our trumpets! - I don't understand.

Ah ah!

Ah ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Antero, spare me!

Have mercy, spare me!

This way, let's hurry.

With so many enemies still around I do not feel safe!

Nuoviti, bastard!

Come on!

Don't you start!

Come on, help me! Now!

I can't wait to leave this place.

- Ah! - Mamma!

Aah!

Damn, this is he who saved the king!

You were terrific, I saw it all!

Thank you, we both owe you our lives.

Why are you crying?

That's my father.

But you won the war.

We know and we have already thanked you...

...but this can not erase her pain.

- Pain? And why? - For her father's death!

This seems strange?

No...

...but it is the first time I've realized that war also brings pain.

You think but little, I think!

Who are you? What's your name?

- Mars. - This is no time to joke.

Okay you are a hero, but I was not born yesterday.

Your face is more beautiful if you do not cry.

Come on, guys!

Hurry! Mars or not, give me a hand.

The king is looking for you, maybe to reward you.

- Maybe even reward me. - I have to go.

Why would you? You do not want the prize?

Please, come with us.

I can not, but I'll be joining you later.

Promise.

Yes.

We will be caught in the rain unless we go.

He's nice, but he's too mysterious for me.

Come on!

Your prowess in battle has earned victory...

...but nothing would be served...

...if the gods had not wanted to save Telbia.

When betrayal had consumed us from behind...

...and opened the city gates to our enemies...

...and all hope seemed lost...

...the hero came and reversed the tide of battle.

We all saw that warrior...

...and he saved us all...

...but nobody could find him.

- I have spoken to him! - Ssh!

That man was the thunderbolt of Jupiter...

...that is consumed in finding enemies to destroy.

- It wasn't lightning, it was a man... - Ssh!

This very night...

...we have decided to offer the tribute of thanksgiving to the gods...

...fulfilling a solemn vow to all the people.

And now let our dead be purified by fire.

I ripped it from Afro before killing him.

- It 's my wedding gift. - We have to get married already?

I had almost forgotten.

- And if I had already forgotten? - I understand that you give up on me sometimes.

Take it to Daphne, I do not like things torn from kings.

Are you still thinking of that girl? She is nothing to me.

- She was never anything to me. - If I could believe you!

You are what you are, despicable, vile...

...but I still love you.

So what does it prove, humiliating me?

How much did your ambition cost us!

Lies, compromises...

...disapproval!

I'll marry you only if there is no Daphne among us.

- What should I do? Banish her? - I'm not asking much.

Soon you will be offered a solution, and just so you know...

...you should accept your gift...

...especially if you want to sit on that throne.

- Mars! - Here I am, Father!

I know you anguish, my son, but your mission is accomplished.

If you wanted me to return to Olympus...

...Why did you put that girl along my way?

There is a fate to which even the gods must bow.

You can bend your fate if you want.

You can fight it, bend it always.

Allow me to remain on Earth next to Daphne...

...at least until she can take comfort from my love.

The love of which you speak is mortal love.

You would give up being a god.

- I'm ready to do so. - Mars, do not meddle.

You do not know how mortals lives are but Winters...

...only glimpsing the serenity of Olympus.

In that serenity I have never experienced the excitement given me by Daphne.

I understand, my son.

The emotions and joys of men are paid for with blood and tears.

Think about it!

I love her.

I can not not love her.

So be it!

Let it be granted.

From this moment you are a mortal.

I want to help you.

Grab my lightning. Fear it not.

It can make you a god again. By breaking one...

...you may retreat from your mortal human form...

...so be careful.

Once you've broken the last arrow, we on Mount Olympus...

... can no longer bring you back...

...and you'll be like mortal man forever.

Great must be our gratitude to the gods...

...as their help was great and generous!

We appreciate your inspired words.

We will move on to other business.

Am I allowed to speak?

Certainly.

The women of Telbia have always been heard at this council.

If the city wants to show it's gratitude to the gods...

...it must offer what is most precious and worthy...

...the most beautiful and pure girl in Telbia.

You mean sacrifice a human life?

No, she is to be locked up in the Temple of Venus...

...and dedicate her life to the worship of the goddess.

I welcome the proposal from Hecuba.

The gods will certainly appreciate it.

Tis the wisest that can be done.

Her designation will be difficult, who will be chosen?

Who will have such an honor?

Who among us does not know the purest among the daughters of Telbia?

- It is useless to insist! - Come on, at least four!

No, I can not give you more.

- Full of holes! - As you sold it.

- You said that was proof of an arrow. - Its been through at least ten wars!

- What do you want me to do? - I understand.

-Give me what you think. -Thank god!

And I will buy you a drink at the tavern.

Can I get a moment?

Hey, where did you come from?

The king is looking for you to give you a reward, you know?

- Can you do me a favor? - A hundred, a thousand ... come in.

I have to find the girl.

Daphne? Forget about it.

- And why? - Come in, I'll explain.

No one has ever dared to violate the temple of the Vestal Virgins.

It is on an island, there are guards, and beasts!

Tell me where.

- Forget it. - Tell me where!

Ssh!

If you insist on dying, wait at least until night.

- And that stuff really stands out. - I always dress like this.

You can not swim with this scrap metal on!

How do I defend myself?

Just use one of these, light stuff.

- A plaything! - Look at the blade before you speak.

And I guess yours is the best!

- Who made this? - Pluto.

Again with the teasing, eh?

First you call yourself Mars, and now the weapons of Pluto!

Give me a robe.

First we will agree on the price.

- I'll give you my armor. - And the helmet and greaves.

Yes, yes

- And the sword. - Okay.

Take it.

And those? What are those?

I only asked!

Please.

It 's too difficult, believe me.

- I have to do it. - You're so damn stubborn.

Too bad, I was fond of you.

- I'm going to the shop. - Wait.

If you are not coming, promise to watch over Daphne.

- Quiet, you can count on me. - Go now.

- What happened? - It seemed to be a stone.

It was a stone!

Are you looking for someone?

- Let me go! - You threw the rock! - No!

I am innocent! We will teach you!

Stand still! Ouch! Look at the boat!

The boat!

Only the dead get out of here.

Your face should shine with joy.

The fate that has befallen you is an honor reserved for few.

Sleep now.

Daphne!

I'm here, near you!

You!

But how did you?

It has been very easy so far...

...and I would be here even if I did not want to...

...to hold you in my arms.

It's worth it even if I had to stay here and die forever.

Die forever, what do you mean?

Nothing, only that I'm happy.

You will discover there is no way out of here.

Follow me.

Come, Daphne.

Help, a man!

Daphne is being kidnapped!

There they are!

Save yourself, for me there is no escape!

Help!

- Daphne! - Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Daphne!

Daphne!

Daphne...

- Here she is! - Over here!

Stop it!

Don't even touch her.

The punishment of the Vestal contaminated by the unclean is Faganto.

Have you dared to defile my temple, Mars!

You know the fate of the vestal virgins who have broken the oath.

Daphne is innocent, I will not allow this...

You're not the god of war, you're a man like any other!

You can not do anything for this girl.

No I love her!

The only woman who can love you is me, Venus..

No, never!

For Daphne, I gave up immortality, for her I'm ready to die...

...but as long as I have breath of life, i will never forget her!

Wake up now!

It's humiliating for the goddess of love to force the will of a man...

...to be loved, but I know I desire you.

When you were on Olympus I could not do anything to get you...

...but now that you are mortal ... - This is not your face.

You can not fool me.

You see me according to your desire.

Contentment is all that i ask of you.

Now there is no obstacle between you and Daphne.

Why won't you tell us his name?

Even if I knew, I would say that i didn't.

Daphne, I have already done a lot for you by canceling the order of the priestess.

If we do not find the person responsible for the sacrilege...

...you will pay.

You do not know what it means to be devoured by Faganto.

If I am to die, do not torment me more!

She is useless.

All we can do is use her as bait.

Maybe he will try to save her.

Perhaps so.

- Let me go! - You used to be more friendly with me.

Do you think you have escaped Faganto and only obey Cronos?

I desire you so much.

I've always wanted you, but I do not like violence.

I want you to be begging to be loved.

I can save you forever from this horrible death.

I could plan an escape...

...or...

...we feed Faganto this slave instead of you.

Do not worry, she can not hear or tell anyone.

She's called Maia, but her name is of little use.

She's deaf and dumb and I fear.

Begone!

You disgust me.

Your unwanted proposals humiliate me.

Do you prefer death?

Yes.

You hope that your unknown hero comes to save you...

...and I hope so too.

You are hoping in vain.

In the meantime, if you change your mind...

...you do not have to do that.

As you can see I've thought of everything...

...and I'm in no hurry.

Death is close and you do not even know.

In your misfortune at least you have this privilege.

What do you mean? Should I understand?

You are cleverer than me, I recognize.

Daphne had been locked up forever...

...where not even the look of a man could penetrate.

And in just two days she is in this same building.

You bore me with your irony.

Why not admit that you are rather tired of me?

I can reveal issues that will bear upon my father...

What?

I'll tell you at the time.

If you love me, move her away from here, do not take care of her.

I can not. I must obey the orders of your father.

Hey girl, come see me!

Words will not stop her, you have to talk with your hands.

Do not dare to call for help, you know!

You're a slave of Antero!

Did you come here to spy? Who sent you? Talk!

Do not be clever with me! I told you to Talk!

Are you dumb?

Are you mute?

I guess you are dumb.

Never mind Leda!

Who sent you? What do you want?

Oh!

Deaf too!

Good, you can see.

What's the matter? Hands off! What are you doing?

You can just ask.

By a woman... figures!

Whats it mean?

Those are guards.

Ah, I see!

This is the palace.

This is the palace!

And that's you!

Your name is Maia.

What are you doing now? Crying?

I understand!

That is Daphne crying.

Daphne sent you!

Thank you, Maia.

I will return soon.

I promise.

I will not let you run the risk of being punished...

...because of me.

I just need to know if the man I love is still alive.

- Maia, where you are running to? - She will shout the loudest...

...when I finish with her.

- Where's Maia? - She's in the palace.

There was no other way to get me out.

They will kill her when your escape is discovered!

Do not run, We will go to the Sibyl. Come with me!

Wait!

I'll never understand you women!

- All these dangers to predict the future? - Try to understand.

- I do not mind dying if he no longer lives. - Him .. Mars?

- Mars? - Yes, Mars.

He likes to be called that.

He wants to remain mysterious even to me.

- Only the Sibyl can tell us everything. - Hold on a moment!

I must tell you...

I can take you to the cave...

...but then I'll wait outside.

I have always helped.

I risked my head...

...but not so you could lose it over a girl.

Do you want to spoil it all for such a trifle?

So what should I do!

Until now you did not complain.

No, but is this thing too big for you.

Be reassured, Ittione.

Hecuba will marry as soon as possible now and leave me alone.

And Daphne?

I do not have to account to you. Get out now!

- Open up! - It is prohibited. - Not for me!

I have ordered you!

What are you doing?

Now you can not lie to me.

Not only my father, but all Telbia will know of your betrayal.

What big words!

I come in here when I want, the prisoner is entrusted to me.

You do not mean this.

I'll tell about your plot, your agreements with Afro.

About the enemies in the seaport? Who killed the sentry?

- What have you promised Ittione? - Shut up! - I've been silent too long.

- Now I am getting tired of you. - Stop!

- Hecuba, I ... - Leave me be!

I have decided.

For you it's over.

You will not tell.

Ah!

Maia! And Daphne?

There is no help, they are armed.

Antero, has killed Hecuba!

I can testify...

...that you never moved from this room.

You can introduce yourself to me only if your heart is pure...

...if your aim is true...

...If your thirst for the truth is more than the anxiety of receiving pain.

You who know everything...

...you can judge whether I am worthy of your help.

Are you ready to listen...

...even if the price of truth is your life?

Yes.

Then watch.

He said he loved me, how can he forget me?

What you saw is not a woman...

...it is the goddess Venus.

Even this mistress is not fatal: He is Mars, the son of Jupiter.

He lives and will live forever...

...even if your love has tried to hinder his destiny.

His fate has placed and found only one solution to this love...

...your death.

He was here.

He killed her because he realized Hecuba helped Daphne escape.

I will Strangle you with my bare hands if you do not say where Daphne is!

Stop it!

Even if she wanted, she could not tell us anything.

If Daphne was able to understand her...

...we can do it too. Take her!

Do not go, I say!

Something must have happened.

All this movement, it can not only be your escape.

It 's too suspicious.

Would you like to give up Maia?

- But what do you think happened? Free her! - No!

Maia would pay for me.

I have no interest in life.

Wait, Daphne!

Daphne!

Daphne!

What a stubborn woman!

Up!

It's useless, Antero!

Daphne is back!

She's in the room of the King.

Stop.

Let the fate of Daphne be fulfilled.

It would be too dangerous for us now, for you...

...if she remained alive.

Okay, but you have to find that damned kidnapper.

I'll pay any price for revenge.

Maia is not to blame, I forced her!

Punish me, not her.

That slave killed my daughter.

No, it's not possible!

- It's not true! It is true.

It was Maia, she has written a confession.

I can not do anything for you.

Tomorrow unfortunately, will be conducted in conjunction with Faganto.

What are you doing?

You do not need more.

To become a god again, you must have one unbroken.

-Thou hast deceived me! - It is not true.

You have loved me as that Telbian woman...

...because I am all women, and you have been happy.

I am now obliged to set you free.

I no longer have power over you.

Here they are!

Shame on you! No one has the courage to protest!

Why should we?

- First, Daphne is not involved. - What do you know? - I assure you.

I know those two girls, the murderer is someone else!

Another?

- These things would not have been done unless there was someone else. - Who?

- Who won us the war? - That never happened!

Think this is crazy? Go away or we'll end up fighting tonight!

Oh!

Look at this!

Appears, disappears...

He has triggered an uproar and sleeps well!

Wake up!

Oh!

- What happened? - You have the courage to ask?

You have done some nice work!

I have been kicked around, Daphne has been arrested...

...and now she and the poor Maia have been condemned to death.

- They will not succeed! - Where are you going dressed like that?

- You look like cupid! - Give me my armor.

You don't need anything, they took them to Faganto.

To Faganto, you understand?

The monster is disgusting! I'm horrified just thinking about it!

For this stupid superstition of gods and monsters...

...my fellow citizens give as a meal our most beautiful girls.

Goodness, Leda!

Who in Telbia would do it?

It would be a lover!

I'll repay you for everything, but now we think of Daphne and...

How did you say her name? - Maia.

- Her fate you care about, right? - For sure!

- She is different from other women. - Ah!

She's deaf and dumb.

Where are the others?

- I sold them. - I figured!

You give me the rags and other bargains.

I know where the person who tried to kidnap Daphne is.

- How much? - A Thousand.

- You'll find him in the shop of Frisso. - Come on! - One moment.

That man is not Hecuba, you will have to risk a lot to catch him.

- Are you afraid? - Yes, I confess.

You are a coward!

I'm tired of being insulted, of taking orders...

...of risking everything.

You think you bought me for life?

To get something you need to beg or blackmail!

Now I have thee, my word is enough to...

Why are we arguing? We need each other.

Help me now and you'll get everything you want.

You will be the most powerful man in Telbia, after me.

So you promise!

No!

Look... look!

Do you like them? They're yours.

They're yours!

Wait.

Take what you want, they are yours!

Do you want this?

Take it.

Take it.

- Take it! - Ah!

By order of Antero: For all guard posts.

- No one comes out for any reason. - Good.

- Why don't you hurry? - I am here!

Let me find something suitable.

- Where do I find the courage? - Have faith in the gods.

Good one! The more we pray, the more we're damned!

Ssh!

- It's the guards! - Our destruction, by Jupiter!

We will be killed and massacred! It's best to run away!

Follow me!

Open up! - Goodbye, Leda!

Open up, in the name of the king

Hey, Nilone!

Nilone!

Fila, how's it going.

- It is not good. - What do you want?

- Come down, I must tell you something. - I can not, go away!

Ah, yes?

Then wait awhile, but for you it's over.

- You will have to settle your mistake with the king. - Wait!

Wait!

- So, what do you want? - Here's what I will tell you.

Listen carefully.

I'm sorry friend.

- Have not you seen them?? - They have passed by the eastern gate.

Open! It is the savior of Telbia!

He wants to speak with the king!

Get ready. Open.

Open it wide! So that the chariot of the hero can pass.

Great warrior, come on!

Stop them! Get the horses!

It's blood!

- There must be a secret passage. - Here, I found it!

Ittione!

It was Antero, Avenge me!

He killed your daughter, and betrayed you often.

We must hurry to save those innocent girls.

Maybe we still have time!

A novelty!

Faganto!

No! No!

No!

Let them alone!

Let them alone!

Who are you? How dare you interrupt the ritual?

These girls are innocent!

It is not for us to determine, they have already been judged.

Our job is to enforce the sentence.

Faganto must have its victims...

...or the revenge of Proserpine will be upon us all.

Quick, grab the torches!

Come on!

This way!

Begone!

No, I will not allow you to commit this horrible crime!

Daphne, come here, do not be afraid. I am here to protect you.

Look out!

- Aah! - Forward!

Aah!

Mars!

Help!

Daphne!

Daphne!

Daphne, I love you.

This is the last, My Father.

I do not want to take it back!

Now I know what it means to be a mortal.

I'd be a coward if I refused the pain and sacrifice.

Daphne...

...if we can not be joined in life forever...

...I want death!

Daphne!

Thank you, Father!

Daphne!

Daphne!

Watch!

The nightmare of Faganto is over forever.

Wait! What are you doing now?

Farewell, friend! I'll remember you.

It was Mars! It really was Mars!

And I've always spoken ill of the gods! Poor me!

- They will forgive you. - I hope so, because with the gods ... Oh!

- You can speak? - Yes.

Suddenly I felt I could talk like you...

...like everyone else.

- A miracle, a gift from Mars! - I knew it!

- What? - Bad luck!

I Set my sights on a deaf-mute and the gods get her talking!

Mars, this just should not have been!
