Thousands of Days and Nights

It's that dream again...

That war ended in tragedy.

We, the Six Saint Beasts, rose up in revolt against an arrogant god,

and the bonds between us fell apart.

Judas and Luca were driven from Heaven.

They say there was once an age of happiness in Heaven.

In ancient times, Heaven was a paradise bathed in light.

In those peaceful days, the angels held God in reverence,

and God loved the angels as well.

When an angel is born in this land, he goes through three stages: infancy, adolescence, and adulthood.

It was tradition that adolecent angels became adults upon the next Day of Benediction.

Confirm your bonds with a fellow comrade,

wakariaeta tomo to kizuna tashikame

And journey away from this familiar land.

mihate no chi tabidatsu

A fellow comrade feels his destiny calling,

wakachiaeta tomo ga sadame kanjite

And departs without a word.

kotoba naku wakareru

Dreaming of wandering a far distant Utopia...

haruka tooi kuni o sasurau yume mite

Shedding blood in the name of love,

ai suru ga yue ni chi o nagasu

Tears fall, lives flutter, the stars vanish from sight.

namida chiru inochi mau hoshi ga kiesaru

Cursing oneself for the sake of love.

ai suru ga tame no mi o norou

We will go the way of beasts, though it leads to no future.

mirai naku tomo yuku kemono michi

Unbreakable bonds.

tachikirenai kizuna

To stand up and fight is destiny.

tachimukau wa sadame

You've really gotten bigger, Goh!

Really?

My height has barely changed at all!

That means my physique hasn't really developed much.

I can't believe it!

That's not true, Gai.

Your physique may have remained about the same, but your features have become much more fearless.

Seriously?

Well, maybe.

Hey, what's that mean?!

No teasing me, geez!

You're warm.

Energy just seems to well up from deep inside me.

Wow.. You're really amazing!

Maybe I'll go to the mountain out back.

Why all of a sudden?

You know how it's full of tall trees.

I've always wanted to knock them down,

and now it feels like it doesn't have to be just a dream anymore.

That's just like you, Goh!

Well, I guess I'll tag along.

Let's have a little competition.

You got it! I might not be as big as you are, but I won't lose!

Good, I'm looking forward to it.

Oh yeah, mind if we stop by the Holy Spring on the way?

I want to have a look at myself.

By looking at your reflection in the water?

Yeah. I want to have a good long look at how valiant and manly I've become.

Well, maybe not my physique, but my face at least.

Sure. I'll go with you.

Yes!

Now all I need to do is fit the strings.

If I am not mistaken, you two became adult angels on the same day I did.

I saw you in Zeus' shrine.

I noticed you, too. Your light blue hair was very striking.

Thank you very much.

Eh, you really saw him in the shrine?

I didn't notice him at all. Ouch!

My name is Shin.

I'm Goh.

I'm Gai. Nice to meet you.

What's that?

A harp.

I've always enjoyed strumming with my fingers...

So now that I've become an adult angel, I thought I would make one for myself.

So it's a gift to yourself.

Yes.

Hey!

When you're done with the strings, play something for us!

It would be my pleasure.

Awesome!

You have such beautiful wings.

And you are?

My name is Rey.

Rey?

I've always watched you swoop down from the hill to the plaza.

Um...

I have wings too.

See?

They're beautiful.

No... Not as lovely as yours.

My name is...

Luca, right?

You knew my name?

Yes. But I couldn't quite bring myself to speak to you.

When I became an adult angel, I was blessed with these wings.

Then I thought that finally I had an opportunity to speak with you...

And so here I am, beside you.

Rey.

Yes?

Tomorrow, let's soar up there together.

With pleasure, Luca.

So, this is me...

Me, as an adult angel...

Oh, Luca.

Thanks.

Why don't you go take a bath?

You'll feel refreshed.

Yeah...

I'll pass for now.

Are you all right?

Why?

There's something different about you today.

You look very gloomy. Is there something bothering you?

No. I'm just feeling the burden of being an adult angel.

That turban...

it looks good on you.

R-Really?

When I saw you this morning in the shrine, I was surprised by how different you looked.

But when I look at you up close like this, I see it really suits you.

I feel relieved hearing that from you.

By the way...

What is it?

I had a little meeting today.

Meeting?

Yeah.

I'll be introducing him to you before long.

An angel with wings like mine came up and greeted me.

I hadn't felt so excited in a long time.

I'm happy for you, Luca.

The sun is setting.

Yeah.

There's a feast in the plaza tonight, isn't there?

Yeah. It's a long-established custom.

Luca.

Please continue to stand by me.

Judas...

Stop that.

I get embarrassed when you say things like that.

Zeus-sama.

Lucifer.

Are you all right? You don't look well.

Yeah, I just can't get used to this throne.

Of course, it will take time.

Your father, Cronus-sama, sat in that very seat just yesterday.

Yes, that's true, but...

Why are you hanging your head?

Do you regret it now?

It would be a lie to say, "No!"

But even so, I couldn't have left things as they were.

You have not erred in any of your actions.

So please, have confidence in yourself.

Do you believe that from the bottom of your heart?

Without a doubt.

Now, please smile.

Lucifer...

Always keep your gaze to the future.

Remember that all the angels in Heaven worship you.

Zeus-sama, your hand, please.

Yes! I am the great god, Zeus!

I must show the path of light to all angels.

Tonight is a holy feast,

an important festival where those who have become adult angels swear their love and loyalty to you.

You must take the seat of honor, and grant them your answer.

Zeus-sama!

Lucifer-sama!

Shall we, Zeus-sama?

And so time passed...

That wasn't very nice.

Angels like that have been drawing a lot of attention recently.

It's so peaceful and happy that they don't know what to do with themselves anymore.

It's fine to seek out a thrill,

but it seems they've chosen the wrong place to look for one.

These kinds of actions seem to prove that even angels are not entirely pure beings.

I wonder if such events will occur more and more in the future...

It's a possibility, though a very regrettable one.

Is there nothing that can be done?

But what can the few of us do?

You're right. The one who can do something is...

Stop the carriage!

Stop that!

Are you all right?

Yes.

Thank you very much.

You're Judas-dono, aren't you?

You know me?

There isn't a single angel in Heaven who doesn't.

Really?

Yes.

I have admired you for a long time now, just as everyone else has.

And yet, I ended up in this shameful circumstance in front of you...

What is your name?

I'm Pandora.

I will take you home. Where do you live?

Judas-sama!

You mustn't keep the Goddess waiting!

Don't worry

But Judas-sama!

We will see Pandora home first.

Um...

Aw, man.

I can't leave things like this.

I can't stand the sight of beautiful, delicate angels like Pandora suffering.

There must be a way that I can put a stop to this.

What's the matter, Judas? I hear you have an urgent request.

Yes. I humbly ask that you use your power to purge those angels who have sinned.

Purge?

Yes. With your pure, holy power...

In the shining wind, the clouds drift by, and the earth stretches on to the sky.

hikaru kaze kumo wa nagare daichi wa sora e tsusuku

If you close your eyes and pray, the tolling of a bell resounds.

hitomi tojite inoreba nariwataru kane

What is it you search for as you wander,

nani o motomete samayou no darou

trying to grasp the inivisible tomorrow?

mienai asu o te ni ireru tame ni

Enveloped in deep darkness, with all paths of escape closed off,

fukai yami ni tsutsumare ikiba sae to zasare

Even so, angels will not cease to dream.

sore demo tenshi wa yume miru koto o yamenai

No matter how far, for eternity...

doko made mo eien ni

Angels are born when the great god breathes his love into them.

They are endowed with immortal life, and are blessed with God's divine protection for all of eternity.

These angels, who live for thousands of days and nights, see many things.

One day, they saw the highest ranking angel, the only angel who had been allowed to stand...

at God's side and serve him, be driven out of Heaven into exile.

His pure white wings had become black,

and he soon forged a paradise called Hell.

Time passed, and a new age was dawning in Heaven.

Peace and restlessness, happiness and sorrow.

The immortal angels will soon be forced to make a new choice.
