Vampire (Caius Volturi) (Part Eight)

Word count: 1785

(Alright, this is mostly just the musical. Only the last part is back to the main characters part. If anyone wants to see the musical with English subtitles: Part one Part two I hope you will all enjoy it!)

The judge called upon Luigi Lucheni to tell his story. To tell the reason why he killed the beloved empress Elisabeth. “Nacht für Nacht dieselbe Frage. Seit hundert Jahren! Was soll die Fragerei? Merda. Ich bin tot!” he would shout in his defence. Yes, he indeed was dead, yet this was his punishment. Every night he would have to stand in front of a judge and explain why he had committed such a horrible crime. “Nennen Sie endlich die Hintergründe!” the judge would shout out to Lucheni, wanting the murderer to take his responsibility. “Die Hintergründe? Ich habe sie ermordet, weil sie es wollte!” was his reasoning. He had only murdered her because she wanted him to. “Und reden immer noch von… Elisabeth!” he would shout as the dead slowly rose up and started to chant about how to old world has sunken. Luchini sang about how Elisabeth hated them all, every single one of them while the dead chanted about how everyone has danced with Death, yet no one like Elisabeth. “Attenzione! Ihre Majestät der Tod!” he would shout as the room grew quiet. Death made her way down the stairs, looking down at the dead. Her hair hanging in loose curls down her back, the upper part clipped back neatly with a Celtic looking pin. She was completely clothed in white, looking like and angel. “Was hat es zu bedeuten: dies alte Lied. Das mir seit jenen Zeiten die Brust durchglüht? Engel nennen’s Freude, Teufel nennen’s Pein. Menschen meinen, es muss Liebe sein.” She sang, her voice lovely yet dangerous. Yes, love was a curse, and it stood in the way of her job. She quickly made her way further down the stairs, past the dead and past Lucheni. “Mein Auftrag heißt zerstören. Ich tu es kalt. Ich hol, die mir gehören, jung oder alt. Weiß nicht, wie geschehn kann, was es gar nicht gibt – Doch es stimmt: Ich habe sie geliebt” she sang, yes she had loved Elisabeth, and the game they had played throughout the empress life, even though she had no idea how it had happened.

The first meeting between Death and Elisabeth was when the empress was only sixteen years old. At a family meeting Elisabeth had climbed up a tree, when a branch had broken below her feet and she had plummeted to the ground. Death, now dressed completely in black, had swooped her in her arms and gently brought her back to the living, wanting nothing more than to take the young woman with her, but knowing she couldn’t do it just yet. Elisabeth was a flower in bloom, and her beauty had Death in awe. “Est ist Liebe! Per Dio!” came Lucheni’s explanation. “Wohin gehst du, schwarzer Prinzessin? Warum bleibst du nicht hier? Ich hab mich in deinen Armen wohlgefühlt. Und ich spürte eine Sehnsucht. Mich von allem zu befrei'n. Wie ein schwarzer Vogel. Stolz und allein. Ja, ich weiß, du bist der Tod. Und alle fürchten dich. Doch ich denk an dich. Was immer ich auch tu. Träume und Gedichte schreiben. Oder reiten mit dem Wind... Niemand versteht mich so wie du!” Was Elisabeth’s claim of love for Death, her Death. She didn’t want her dark princess to leave, not now that she had felt what freedom was. And no one had every understood her as much as she had. Yet Death turned her back towards the young girl now and disappeared, yet she always stayed close to her. Soon Elisabeth met her other love, Franz Joseph, emperor of Austria and soon their wonderful wedding day passed by. “Augustinerkirche, halb sieben Uhr abends. Merkwürdige Zeit für eine Trauung, aber passend, An diesem 24. April 1854. Sehr passend, porca miseria!” Lucheni shouted towards the judges. The crowd sang about how all the questions had been asked as the couple made its way towards the priest. “Wenn das Euer Wille ist, so antwortet mit Ja!” if this was their will, then they must answer once with Yes. “Ja!” was their answer. The wedding bells sounded and Death herself was hanging on the cord, pulling it down. Laughing frantically as she knew Elisabeth would be hers, and that Franz Joseph will begin the chain of events that would lead Elisabeth into her sweet embrace. Many of the guests along with Elisabeth’s father, mother and mother in law were bickering whether the young girl and the emperor were a good fit or not. As Elisabeth tried to dance in her own way, Franz kept the young girl on track of the classic waltz, not once giving her the freedom to dance the way she wanted to dance. Death looked at the young woman, a small smirk on her face as she and hear angels of death emerged. With a snap of her finger the angels spread and the guests froze on the spot. All but Elisabeth. Death held her hand out for Elisabeth, inviting her to dance. Elisabeth smiled and made her way towards Death and soon they circled around each other, never once touching. Soon Elisabeth got out of her trance and ran towards Franz Joseph, whom was still frozen in trance. Death made her way halfway up the slope, and slowly sat down in sync with her angels. She sang about the old song of one loved by two. “Der letzte Tanz, der letzte Tanz. Gehört allein nur mir! Den letzten Tanz, den letzten Tanz, Tanz ich allein mit dir!” she sang, her voice soft yet threatening. She sang about the time, how it influenced the wine and made it old, the air in the mirror hall was growing thick. Invisible eyes were watching the two of them, all of them waiting for their Rendezvous. Death grabbed Elisabeth and danced with her before pushing her down, in a dance of dominance, one that Death would win. “Und so wart' ich im Dunkeln. Und schau zu dir hin. Als der große Verlierer. Doch ich weiß, ich gewinn!” she sang, yes she was waiting in the darkness, looking like the loser, but she knew, she would win in the end. She ran up the slope as it ascended once more, making it into a bridge on the top of the stage. “Den letzten Tanz, den letzten Tanz. Tanz ich nur mit dir!” she sang, the final note long and strong before walking of the stage. Four years passed, Elisabeth herself very soon comes to regret her seemingly "fairy-tale marriage". She feels abandoned by her careless husband, psychologically abused by her possessive mother-in-law, and is chronically depressed due to her loneliness. There is only one thing that keeps her emotionally stimulated—the dark and sensual shadow of Death; but Elisabeth is reluctant to consummate their relationship. When Death takes her infant daughter, the tragedy shakes the young Empress extremely. “Nein!” Elisabeth shouted as her daughter blew out her last breath. She runs towards her but is stopped by Death and falls to her knees. Death sends her a gentle and welcoming smile. “Weißt du noch, wie wir erbebten. Als wir zwei im Tanze schwebten? Du brauchst mich. Ja, du brauchst mich.” Her tone grew threatening, but soon returned to her sweet, angelic voice. “Gib doch zu, daß du mich mehr liebst, Als den Mann an deiner Seite. Auch wenn du ihm scheinbar mehr gibst. Du ziehst ihn in die Nacht” she sang as she told Elisabeth the truth of her husband. “Die Schatten werden länger, Es wird Abend, eh’ dein Tag begann. Die Schatten werden länger. Mit dir stirbt die Welt. Halt dich nicht fest daran” Death finished, trying to sway Elisabeth to come to her embrace but she refuses to give in to Death's sway.

After her remaining two children are taken from Elisabeth, she grows cold, and sets Franz Joseph for an ultimatum. “Ich habe ein förmliches Ultimatum aufgesetzt. Wenn du mich nicht verlieren willst, erfüll' es. Ich möchte selbst über die Erziehung meiner Kinder bestimmen. Und von nun an will ich entscheiden, was ich tue und lasse. Lies mein Schreiben und entscheide dich: Für deine Mutter oder mich! Und jetzt lass mich allein.” She said as she felt her depression creep up to her again, and soon she heard the voice of her beloved Death. Elisabeth turned around and saw Death sitting on a love seat in her bedroom, her arms opened in a welcoming way. “Elisabeth! Sei nicht verzweifelt. Ruh dich aus in meinem Arm. Ich will dich trösten.” She sang and soon sprang up. “Flieh, und du wirst frei sein, Und alles Kämpfen wird vorbei sein. Ich führ dich fort aus Raum und Zeit, In eine bessre Wirklichkeit.” Death held her hand out for Elisabeth to take, her voice growing soft, and loving. “Elisabeth! Elisabeth! Ich liebe dich...” “Nein! Ich möchte leben! Ich bin zu jung um aufzugeben. Ich weiß, ich kann mich selbst befrein. Jetzt setz ich meine Schönheit ein.” Elisabeth sang, her voice growing firm. She didn’t need Death, she would find her own way to freedom! “Geh! Ich will dich nicht! Ich brauch dich nicht! Geh!” Death frowned and fled back into the shadows quickly.

But it had been too late. Elisabeth calluses over and becomes cold and selfish. She flees the Austrian court and spends decades restlessly travelling all over the world, trying in vain to escape from her fear of emptiness. Eventually, Elisabeth makes peace with her husband, when he finds her. He begged for her forgiveness, and he swore he would give her anything she wanted. Elisabeth walks through a mirror, completely dolled up looking absolutely gorgeous. “Soll ich dich verstehen. Will ich auch verstanden sein. Ich will mit dir gehen. Doch sperr mich nicht länger ein. Ich bin nicht das Eigentum von dir. Denn ich gehör nur mir.” She sang. Soon Death herself emerged from the same mirror, yet stayed within the frames. “Was heut das Auge sieht. Ist morgen schon Vergangenheit. Wohin dein Blick auch flieht. Auf meiner Seite ist die Zeit.” She sang as she watched Elisabeth from the shadows once more. “Du musst mir nichts geben. Nur lass mir mein Leben! Denn ich gehör...” Elisabeth sang. “ Du gehörst…” Death sang. “Nur mir!” Elisabeth and Death sang together.

During the final part before the break was the first time I looked up at the balcony I knew the Cullens and Volturi were sitting. I had felt his glance on me the entire time, and it made me want to perform on my best. His red eyes pierced through mine, and even from here, I could see a gentle look in his eyes as he watched me perform. Elisabeth sang her lust, high note and the lights turned off, signalling it was time for the break.

babypaulchen’s fanfic recs

Most of these fanfics are shippy, some are gen (no ships). Please feel free to recommend me some fics as well!

Firstly, The Other Side of Midnight is my favorite Rammstein fic! “Till and Paul tell each tales to pass a sleepless night.” Paul and Till share stories about how they fucked Schneider, basically. I really like this one because one of Paul’s stories takes place in Feeling B era and I soak that shit up like a sponge. Plus it’s written beautifully. Like, this is one of those fics that makes me envious it’s so damn good. Read it or else!!!!

Fried Eggs and Honey - “Feeling B are just becoming established, but Paul wants more. He doesn’t know exactly what it is that he wants, though - not until he meets the shy, mysterious Till.” A super cute fic that I read all in one night. It’s written so realistically and casually that you can’t help but feel like you’ve lived the moment. I love fics that actually feel genuine. And Till is adorable. And Paul is so Paul. This fic literally had me punching the bed because they wrote Paul so spot-on. His faults and flaws, when he was young. Read this one. It’s so cute and perfect and the romance is written so realistically and ahhhh

Heroic & Durable by @zigratbites - “Paul has an accident on stage, but decides the show must go on anyway. This leads to some yelling, h/c and kissing.” Another great, wonderful, perfect fic where they capture Paul’s personality well. He’s a dedicated dumbass who will do whatever it takes to get something done well, and this shows in this fic. The side of Chrispaul does not hurt one bit, either. Love this one so much!!!

My Girl. by @till-hammer - “Frau Schneider comes out of her shell, but only for him.” this is Till/Schneider! this fic is SO GOOD I want more like this. exploration of character and gender is a favorite of mine. def recommend this one. love love love it

führe mich, halte mich by @slashs-head-is-fuzzy - “Paul and Christoph impulse fuck after leading each other on with regular cuddling sessions.” LEGIT ONE OF MY FAV FICS AHHHH this fic is for me and naturally I requested Paul topping. I adore how Paul is written, and the smut is sehr gut ahhh

sehnsucht ist so grausam by @lunarcorvid - “As they wrap up the shoot for Du Hast, Till finds himself staring at the pistol that Schneider still has tucked into the back of his pants.” A++++ this is so hot lmao gun play can be so good if written well

Lied der unruhevollen Jugend by @wiener-blut - “After spending some time at a party, Christoph and Paul meander back to Paul’s flat, wasted, to have some more fun.” I LOVE THIS FIC another Feeling B era fic, done by the lovely Lily, for my birthday ;w; It’s so cute and fun and she is always so spot-on when it comes to portraying their personalities. Def read!!

Scent - “Paul is careless; Christoph gets mad.” I love this one. It’s short, but so so sweet. I’m a sucker for fluff. And they wrote them both well, too. It’s so cute ahhhh

You Make Me Perfect by @krispy-posts - No summary, but basically domestic Schneider and Paul being cute before delving into smut. I am sooo weak for the beginning domesticity, and also the mention of chubby WHDT era Paul. I’ve reread this fic so often. I adore it ;o;

Jetzt hab’ ich dich by @wiener-blut - “Attending a sophisticated ball, a particular man catches her eye.” A DRSG ‘98 AU where the reader is attending the ball and Paul approaches and dances with you ahhHHHHH I LOVE THIS ONE IT MAKES ME MELT

ich will eure blicke spuehren by @lunarcorvid - “Till and Richard need to work off some post-show adrenaline when they get back to the hotel room. Richard has an idea involving cigarettes.” I have a thing for smoking and Richard casually lighting up while sitting on Till’s dick is super hot lol

Rock Star - “Till overhears things on the tour bus.” Paul and Schneider flirt, with Till sitting in another room, hearing it. It’s from Till’s perspective. It’s really cute and funny!! Inspired by this pic:

rein, raus - “ Paul could never shut up, especially at the most important of times. Like when fucking with Christoph on a tour bus while their band mates are sleeping.” summary says it all LMAO I think this was the first smutty Rammfic I read and actually enjoyed.

All My Marks On Your Skin - “Paul can’t remember when seeing Schneider’s claim on his skin became such an essential part of his life.” Post-concert fic where they stand in front of a mirror and Schneider touches his bruises! It’s Good™.

the strings that change the faces of men by @slashs-head-is-fuzzy - “Richard initiates something with Ollie. Schneider joins in on the fun. It all remains among friends, of course.” a very nicely written threesome fic!! I adore how Richard is written in this and the smut is EXCELLENT

Fluffy Slippers by @writing-rammstein (go and read all of her fics honestly, they’re all cute and perfect) - “For the prompt: ‘can u hook a gal up with some good ol reader/paul hugging?‘” A request made by me LMAO This is super cute and sweet, I love it so much T__T

Herr Lorenz - “ After an inconsiderate joke, Flake feels insecure. Paul might just have the solution to it.” Feeling B era!! This was one of the first Rammstein fics I ever read…It’s so sweet. I love their friendship so much ahhhhh

Broken Machine by @iinchicore - “This story is set in 1994, during the time Rammstein stayed in Eichwalde to work on the songs for their first record, Herzeleid. The plot mainly focuses on Flake's struggle dealing with his speech disorder.” This one is so relatable and touching. I love this dynamic between Till and Flake and the writing is BEAUTIFUL ackkk please read!!

So seid recht gut auf allen Wegen (So be good in all your journeys) by @prismabird - “Far from home for the first time, Till finds solace from the unfamiliar in the arms of the familiar (based on Till, Richard, and Oli’s first trip to America in 1993).” So far, this fic is REALLY enjoyable to read. I love the element of friendship and reliance on each other. It’s a fun read, albeit sprinkled with some angst. I have laughed a couple times, and I related to Richard’s struggle with language.

Scar Tissue - “While Till and Paul attempt to get on with their lives and repair an alreay damaged relationship, the band are also dealing with their bandmate who is suffering from a serious addiction.” This one is really, very good. I love the TillPaul aspect, but it’s very bittersweet. This fic is so sad, it nearly brought me to tears hhhh

Du riechst so gut - “Paul finds Schneider's scarf while he is cleaning up the hotel-room he's in for the moment. He really had just intended to use it to block out the light but- well, he's not going to complain about what happens instead.” this writing is excellent, and the smut is very enjoyable. I adore any author that includes realism: Schneider’s inexperience and sloppiness in attempting to blow Paul is really appreciated.

Heart of the Matter by @weitweg-vonmir - “Paul received a heart transplant from a stranger that saved his life. Now, a year later, that stranger's lover comes to meet the recipient of the transplant.” man this fic is like a punch to the gut. honestly, I’m seldom ever moved by angst fic, but this one legit made me cry, thinking about how fucked up and sad this whole situation is. you can only feel true sympathy for both sides of this. excellently written A+

Nähe des Geliebten by @naraism - “It's New Year's Day and the boys (Paul and Richard) finally have some free time just for themselves.” so soft and warm throughout it....such nice writing, too. and ugghh TOP PAUL IS MY WEAKNESS overall a really enjoyable fic!!

Together - It has no summary but basically Ollie and Paul go to the stage of where they’re going to perform to get a feel for it, and cute stuff happens. I wish there was more Ollie/Paul out there ),:

Let Me See You Stripped by @wiener-blut - “Post concert, Paul submerges himself in an indulgent fantasy with Schneider.” this one is a bday gift for me and it is SOOOO good lmaooo lily knows what i likes B) good shit

Wir halten uns den Arm (We hold each other by the arm) - “Paul and Richard spend some quality time together.” I found this more cute than sexy. I like how they wrote Paul in this!!

---------

For the sake of full coverage, I wanted to include my personal favorites of my own works. This is more or less in order from #1 favorite.

Ich Will Eure Hände Sehen - “A six-man group of criminals, lead by Till, operate in early 2000's Berlin. A series of occurrences, both good and bad.” This is my baby lmao it’s been with me since I first joined the fandom, and I really need to finish it. I love the characters sm... prob the most effort I’ve put into any of my fanfics in a long time ♡

Mein Tier - “Frau Schneider keeps to herself, unusually so. Her weekly life consists only of work, and staying at home. Unbeknownst to the people around her, Schneider goes home every day to five loyal dogs. Dogs who are unaware of their state of captivity. Dogs who are not truly dogs, but men with their humanity deteriorated to that of beasts. But they are more than happy to be cared for by their neurotic, loving master.” I’m so fond of this fic; I love all of the characters, and the dynamics. it is so fun to write for!! ♡

Reconnecting - “Paul and Schneider used to have an on-and-off-again sexual relationship when they were younger. Now it's 2017, and something has reignited.” I LOVE this one. Schneider/Paul is my OTP, and this was the one time I shoved all my Feelings for them into a fic. it’s so soft and intimate

Stripping Away the Layers - “It's been a while since their last "session". It seems Schneider has to reteach Paul how to obey. Unlike Till, who has always striven to please him, Paul clings to his pride. Schneider manages to rip it from him. He always does.” THIS ONE IS SO HOT THAT’S ALL HDSFFGL I’m really pleased with how it came out. The spanking part is my FAVORITE love this one...

This Is How This Night Is Going to Go - “Following the hectic evening of being followed around by documenting cameras, Paul and Schneider find some privacy away from the others. Paul doesn't really appreciate what he pulled earlier at the party.” the first smut fic I wrote for Schneider/Paul! I adore how I managed to write Paul in this one. he’s so bold and it’s hot lmao ♡

Red Ribbon - “Taking place in the 19th century, Schneider visits a whorehouse with intention of hiring the services of a male prostitute. It seems there are a few new additions. One in red catches his eye.” I’m mostly really proud of the second chapter... I love the pace of it, and the developing relationship. writing in different time periods is also sooo fun (plus ngl I really love prostitute AUs)

Worth the Risk - “Ollie visits Schneider in the secrecy of the night at a secluded villa where they're currently producing their newest album. He and Schneider make use of their bandmates' absence.” a super indulgent, super kinky Schneider/Ollie fic that I’ve reread multiple times just because I feel like I got it just right; it’s pretty damn hot lol

A Rocky Start - “Paul gets up earlier than Flake, and decides to make them breakfast. Soon enough, Flake joins him with a lovely surprise. Paul was never the best at resisting temptation.” I couldn’t get this idea out of my head while at work, and I’m really pleased that I managed to get it into words just how I envisioned it... so soft and warm and sexy ♡ I love this ship so much and I hope you give it a chance!!

And that’s about it! My greatest recommendation is exploring Rammstein fanfic as a whole, it’s another world of fandom that I feel deserves more recognition. Don’t be shy to test the waters!

A Primary Agreement - Castrum Fluminis and Flashback (German to English)

This time, a look at the scene in Castrum Fluminis. As before, heavy spoiler warning for patch 4.3. Under the Moonlight. If you wish to see more translated, let me know, for I only intended to translate this part of the quest along with the flashback I already finished.

Bold: English Localization

Plain: German transcription

Cursive: Literal translation

(Asahi) At last, the hour has come. The conclusion to these negotiations will mark a new beginning for Doma and the Empire—a first step on the road to peaceful coexistence.

Es ist so weit. Der heutige Tag ist der erste Schritt auf dem Weg zu einem dauerhaften Frieden zwischen Doma und Garlemald. Ein großartiges historisches Ereignis!

The time has come. Today is the first step on the path to long-lasting peace between Doma and Garlemald. A magnificent historical occasion!

(Hien) Indeed. We are ready to proceed with the exchange when you are.

Ich sehne auch den friedlichen Abschluss des Gefangenenaustauschs herbei.

I yearn for the peaceful exchance of prisoners as well.

Forgive my curiosity, Ambassador, but is there a purpose to these containers you bring with you?

Übrigens … Dürfte ich fragen, was sich in diesen Behältern befindet?

By the way … May I ask what's inside these crates?

(Asahi) Oh, the supply crates? They are filled with materials we hoped might be of use in Doma's restoration. I meant to gift them to you at our last meeting, but we had so much else to discuss...

Ach, darin … Nur ein paar Dinge, die ich euch letztes Mal schon geben wollte. Güter, die ihr zum Wiederaufbau eures Reiches verwenden könnt.

Oh, inside those … Just a few things, which I had intended to give you last time already. Goods, which you may use for the rebuilding of your kingdom.

(Hien) How very generous. I confess, I had not expected such compassion, welcome though it is.

Das wäre nicht nötig gewesen.

That wasn't necessary.

...But then I was also surprised by the news hat one of our captives had delivered herself into your custody ahead of time—a minor discrepancy I shall overlook in the spirit of the occasion.

Ihr habt die Erfüllung eines Teils der Abmachung ja schon selbst in die Hand genommen. Ein Detail, über das wir keine weiteren Worte verlieren müssen.

You already took the execution of one part of our agreement into your own hands. A detail, which we needn't speak about any more.

(???) Are you perhaps referring to me, Lord Hien?

Sprecht ihr von mir?

Are you talking about me?

(Hien) Yotsuyu.

Yotsuyu …

(Yotsuyu) Orphan of the Naeuri, widow of Sashihai...

Ganz recht. Yotsuyu, Tochter der Naeuri, Witwe des Sashihai …

That's right. Yotsuyu, daughter of the Naeuri, widow of Sashihai …

...And acting viceroy of Doma! You and your people are mine to govern; mine to punish!

Und die Statthalterin von Doma! Eure Geißel und Unterdrückerin!

And the viceroy of Doma! Your scourge and oppressor!

(Hien) Well, well. It would seem your shattered mind is mended. As per our agreement with the ambassador, you are free to return with him to the Empire.

Da sie ihr Gedächtnis offenbar wiedererlangt hat, soll sie zurückkehren. So, wie es abgemacht war.

Since she obviously regained her memory, she shall return. Just as we agreed on.

Your authority as acting vicerroy, however, is no longer recognized here.

Aber eines vergesst nicht: Doma hat keine Statthalterin!

But don't forget one thing: Doma has no viceroy!

(Yotsuyu) My position is not for you to decide, little lordling.

Ahahaha! Schweig, Aufständischer!

Ahahaha! Silence, insurgent!

All who resist the rule of the Empire must be purged. Such was the order given to me by Lord Zenos himself!

Jeder, der sich gegen die Herrschaft des Kaiserreichs auflehnt, wird ausradiert! Das ist die Aufgabe, die Zenos mir erteilte!

Everyone, who rebels against the sovereignty of the Empire will get eradicated! That is the task, Zenos gave me!

I will reign here in this putrid, pestilent swamp until the last of you has been broken!

Ich beabsichtige, diese Aufgabe zu erfüllen und wieder über dein kümmerliches Land zu herrschen.

I intend to fulfill this task and reign over your pathetic land once again.

This land shall know no dawn. I will spew forth darkness and drown all in eternal night. And high above you I shall shine uncaring, cold and distant as the moon!

Niemals werdet ihr das Licht der Freiheit erblicken. Die Finsternis in meinem Herzen wird alles verschlingen, und ein Land der Finsternis erschaffen. Nur einen eisigen Mond werdet ihr sehen – und das werde ich sein!

Never will you gaze upon the light of freedom. The darkness in my heart will swallow all and create a land of darkness. The only thing you shall look upon is an icy moon – and that will be me!

(Hien) What has she done!?

Was ist das für ein Licht?

What is this light?

(Alphinaud) Oh, gods... This is a summoning!

Ist das etwa eine Primae?

Is that a primal?

(Asahi) A Doman citizen has called forth an eikon in direct violation of our primary agreement. The negotiations have failed. Abandon the captives, and make preparations to withdraw.

Eine Domanerin hat einen Primae beschworen. Ein klarer Verstoß gegen die Abmachung. Dieses Treffen ist beendet. Bereitet den Abflug vor!

A Doman woman has summoned a primal. A clear violation of our agreement. This meeting is over. Prepare for departure!

(Maxima) But, Ambassador...

Aber was wird aus dem Frieden?

But what about peace?

(Asahi) Disobey me, Pilus, and you disobey the Emperor. Make preparations to withdraw—now.

Widersetzt du dich dem Befehl eines kaiserlichen Gesandten? Wir fliegen ab!

Are you defying an order from an imperial ambassador? We are leaving!

(Maxima) ...As you command.

Grrr … Zu Befehl!

Grrr … As you command!

(Yugiri) My lord! You must fall back!

König Hien, wir müssen uns zurückziehen!

Lord Hien, we need to withdraw!

(Hien) You ask me to run!?

Nein! Macht euch kampfbereit!

No! Prepare for combat!

(Warrior of Light) Leave this to me!

Überlasst das mir! Mit Primae ist nicht zu spaßen.

Leave it to me! There's no joking with Primals!

(Hien) Bah... Against such a foe, I would be more hinderance than help. The field is yours!

Grrr … Du hast Recht. Einem Primae bin ich nicht gewachsen … Ich vertraue auf dich!

Grrr … You're right. I don't stand a chance against a primal … I believe in you!

We will withdraw...but not without our countrymen. I want every soul accounted for. Every soul!

Wir ziehen uns zurück! Aber nicht ohne die Gefangenen! Seht zu, dass niemand zurückbleibt!

We are withdrawing! But not without the prisoners! See to it that no one gets left behind!

(Yugiri) My lord!

Jawohl!

Yes, sir!

(???) I knew you would not flee. I see now the strength which flows from that baleful light of yours.

Jetzt sind nur noch wir übrig. Die Göttin der Nacht und der Krieger des Lichts.

Now it's just us. The Goddess of the Night and the Warrior of Light.

But I am become Tsukuyomi, goddess of the moon and divinity of the night. What power can compare to such celestial majesty!?

Deine verwunschene Gabe wird dir nichts nutzen. Denn ich bin Masokagami entstiegen … Ich bin die Herrscherin der Nacht und des Mondes … Ich bin Tsukuyomi!

Your enchanted gift will be of no use to you. For I rose from Masokagami … I am the ruler of the night and the moon … I am Tsukuyomi!

I shall plunge all I despise into darkness! And within that black abyss, even your light shall flicker and fail.

Mit diesen Kräften kann ich alles und jeden auslöschen, und nicht einmal du wirst mich aufhalten!

With these powers I can obliterate everything and everyone, and not even you will stop me!

Come, let us cast the stalks and look upon the fate of Doma. I see a future in which the sun sets on this wretched land once and for all!

Ein weiterer Kampf auf Leben und Tod. Doch diesmal werde ich gewinnen! Domas Zukunft … ist die Nacht!

One more battle for life and death. But this time, I shall be victorious! Doma's future … is the night!

(Asahi) You really must learn to finish the job.

Wolltest du sie etwa schon wieder davonkommen lassen?

Did you intend to let her get away yet another time?

'Tis true that a gaudy mirror and a handful of crystals make for a feeble summoning, but even the weakest eikon is a god of sorts. A threat tha must be put down.

Sie war zwar nicht mehr als eine primitive Götze, hervorgezaubert aus einem alten Kojin-Spiegel und ein paar Kristallen – aber sie war doch eine Primae.

She may not have been more than a primitive idol, summoned from an ancient Kojin mirror and a few crystals – yet, she was still a primal.

My, my, such hostility! These beings are the sworn enemies of the Empire—I merely did my duty as imperial officer.

Sieh mich nicht so an. Sie musste sterben, das war dir doch klar. Die Primae sind eine Bedrohung für uns alle.

Don't look at me like that. She had to die – you knew that much. The primals are a threat to all of us.

Will you surrender to anger, then? Slay an anointed emissary to avenge a fallen foe?

Du willst mich töten, nicht wahr? Nur zu. Gib deinen Gefühlen nach. Töte mich! Aus Rache oder für die Gerechtigkeit! Streck mich nieder!

You want to kill me, isn't hat right? Go ahead. Give in to your feelings. Kill me! For vengeance or for justice! Strike me down!

You cannot, of course! To do so would burn the bridges we have labored so hard to build!

Dann ist der Friede für alle Zeiten begraben!

Do it and peace will lie buried for all time!

Ah, but I'm forgetting: they're already ash! This Doman woman has seen to that! The Empire cannot ally itself with any nation that refuses to renounce summoning. I believe I was most clear on that point!

Ach, ich vergaß … Doma hat das Abkommen ja schon gebrochen. Wie konntet ihr nur zulassen, dass eine Domanerin einen Primae beschwört?

Oh, I forgot... Doma already broke the agreement. How could you allow a Doman woman to summon a primal?

It should have been mine. (* see notes further down)

Eigentlich war es ja meine Berufung.

It was my vocation, really.

The power he bestowed upon her... I should have been the one to govern Doma! I would have repaid his faith!

Ich hätte Statthalter von Doma werden sollen. Unter meiner Herrschaft hätten wir die Provinzen nie verloren!

I should have become viceroy of Doma. Under my reign we would have never lost the province!

No one alive loves him more than I!

Nur mir stand es zu, Prinz Zenos' Willen auszuführen!

Only I was worthy of executing Prince Zenos' command!

Instead, this harlot betrayed his trust!

Zu nichts bist du zu gebrauchen! Gar nichts!

You're no use for anything! Absolutely nothing!

Useless...piece of...filth!

Du wertloses Stück Dreck!

You worthless piece of dirt!

Worthless whore!

Straßendreck!

Street dirt! (Note: There’s really no more direct way to translate this, as it’s another of those infamous German compound words. But if you really want to nitpick it you could probably interpret it as an insult to someone living or coming from a life on the streets.)

(Yotsuyu) Thank you, dear brother...for this precious gift. Vengeance.

Danke, Asahi … Ich danke dir.

Thank you, Asahi... I thank you.

These people...our people...they ignore the corruption which festers beneath the surface. Cast aside that which is dirty and broken. Speak not of things which would disrupt their dreary little lives.

Deine Demütigungen haben mir beigebracht, zu hassen … Du warst der erste Domaner, den ich hasste.

Your humiliations taught me how to hate... You were the first Doman I ever hated.

Like you, Asahi...always pretending not to see. You were the first...the first I swore to kill.

Dank dir konnte ich meine Rache nehmen, an dem niederträchtigen, verlogenen, schäbigen Doma.

Thanks to you I was able to seek revenge on the dastardly, lying, shabby Doma.

Ahhh...such bliss. I had thought my hunger insatiable...but now...now I am satisfied.

Ich dachte, mein Hass würde niemals enden … Doch jetzt …

I thought my hatred would never end... But now...

You should feel honored, dear brother. I saved the last of my strength just...for you.

Meine Rache ist getan … Du bist mein letztes Opfer …

My vengeance has been taken... You are my final victim...

What's the matter? The witch of Doma will soon be dead.

Du hast gewonnen. Ich sterbe und du lebst …

You won. I'm dying and you're alive...

(Warrior of Light) Gosetsu will mourn you.

Gosetsu wird um dich trauern.

Gosetsu will mourn you.

(Yotsuyu) He will mourn Tsuyu, perhaps...

Ach … der Herr Samurai ......

Ah... the lord samurai... ...

I wonder... Was the fruit as sweet...as he remembered...?

Kaki … E-Er aß so gerne Kaki …

Persimmon... H-he enjoyed eating persimmon so much...

(Asahi) Lord Zenos...

Ah … ah … Prinze Zenos …

Ah... ah... Prince Zenos...

(Asahi) Lord Zenos!

Eure Exzellenz!

Your Excellency!

I am at your disposal.

Ihr habt nach mir gerufen?

You called for me?

(Zenos?) Asahi. You were born in Doma, yes?

Asahi … Du kommst doch aus Doma, nicht wahr?

Asahi... You're from Doma, aren't you?

(Asahi) Yes, my lord! I am honored that you would remember me. How may I serve?

Ja, Eure Exzellent! Ich fühle mich geehrt, dass Ihr meinen Namen behalten habt. Womit darf ich Euch dienen?

Yes, your Excellency! I am honored you would remember my name. How may I serve you?

(Zenos?) You are hereby appointed ambassador plenipotentiary, and empowered to speak with the voice of the Emperor. Return to your native land of Doma, and announce your intention to sue for peace.

Ich ernenne dich hiermit zum bevollmächtigten kaiserlichen Gesandten. Reise nach Doma und nimm dort im Namen Garlemalds Friedensverhandlungen auf.

I am hereby appointing you imperial ambassador plenipotentiary. Travel to Doma and begin negotiations for peace in the name of Garlemald.

(Asahi) ...For peace?

Friedensverhandlungen …?

Negotiations for peace...?

(Zenos?) Once negotiations are underway, you are to locate the acting viceroy.

So ist es. Außerdem wirst du Statthalterin Yotsuyu ausfindig machen.

That's right. Additionally, you will find viceroy Yotsuyu.

(Asahi) She lives? That is to say—I will, my lord.

Meine Schwester lebt? Selbstverständlich. Wie Ihr befehlt, Eure Exzellenz.

My sister is alive? Understood. As you command, your Excellency.

(Zenos?) When you have found her, you will initiate a ritual to call forth an eikon. I will instruct you in the necessary steps.

Des Weiteren werde ich dich in die Geheimnisse der Götzenbeschwörung einweigen. Sobald du Yotsuyu gefunden hast, wirst du sie als Medium benutzen.

Furthermore I will instruct you on the secrets of summoning primals. As soon as you've found Yotsuyu, you will use her as medium.

Yotsuyu's faith is unreliable. But as a child raised to believe in the kami, she will serve as a vessel for one of the Kojin's gods. She need only wish it to be so.

Ihr Glaube ist zwar nicht stark genug für eine Beschwörung. Aber in ihrem Land gibt es unzählige von diesen Kami. Wenn man Yotsuyu ausreichend motiviert und dazu noch ein Artefakt der Kojin einsetzt, sollte sich einer rufen lassen.

Her faith may not be strong enough for a summoning. But in her country there's countless of those Kami. If one motivates her enough and additionally uses an artifact of the Kojin, it should be possible to call upon one of them.

The power will seem a gift, but the eikon's essence will consume her. She will be no more than a husk, a slave to whim and desire.

Natürlich wird die Gottheit sofort von ihr Besitz ergreifen. Die Starken haben nunmal die Angewohnheit, die Schwachen zu ihren Sklaven zu machen.

Naturally, the god will possess her. The strong just so happen to have a habit of making the weak their slaves.

(Asahi) My lord, ever since the day you saw fit to save my miserable life, I have dreamed of repaying your benevolence. Upon my honor, I swear to devote myself wholly to your service. All that you command will be done, no matter the cost.

Eure Exzellenz. Seit dem Tag, an dem Ihr mich vor den Aufständlischen gerettet habt, träume ich schon davon, Euch zu dienen. Ich bin zutiefst dankbar, nun diese Gelegenheit zu erhalten.

Your Excellency. Ever since the day you saved me from the insurgents, I have dreamed of serving you. I am immensely greatful to now be given this opportunity.

B-But...I fear the subtleties of your plan yet elude me. From the reports I have heard, the champion who aids the Doman resistance would make short work of a single eikon...

Aber die Domaner haben einen Helden in ihren Reihen, der schon zahllose Götzen vernichtet hat. Wird er nicht auch diesmal siegen?

But there's a hero among the Domans who already slew countless of idols. Wouldn't he be victorious this time as well?

(Zenos?) The eikon is merely a message. The pacifist teachings of the Populares spread through this city like a plague, and I would remind the people of the threat we face.

Mein Ziel ist ein ganz anderes. Wie du weißt, wollen die Popularen Frieden zwischen Garlemald und Doma.

My goal is another entirely. As you're aware, the Populares wish for peace between Garlemald and Doma.

You will be my chosen agent—the hand which tolls the warning bell. The salvation of this world will not be won through the signing of treaties.

Wir müsse den Weichlingen klarmachen, dass die Primae aus Doma eine Bedrohung sind. Nur wir können die Welt vor dem Untergang retten – mit Gewalt! Und du sollst mir dabei Helfen, als meine rechte Hand.

We need to make it clear to those sissies that Doman primals pose a threat. Only we can save the world from its demise – through violence! And you are to help me with this as my right hand. (Note: Yes, he calls them bloody softies and wusses.)

(Asahi) Your chosen agent!?

Als Eure rechte Hand?

As your right hand?

I will not fail you, my lord!

Zu Befehl, Eure Exzellenz! Es wird geschehen, wie Ihr wünscht!

As you command, your Excellency! So it shall be done!

Fun facts:

(*) For those who wonder what the hell is actually said now of these two things, here the japanese part in question: 本当は、俺がなるはずだったんだ。。。。俺が、ゼノス様の代理になって、ドマを統治するはずだったんだ！俺だったら失敗なんて、奪還なんてされなかった！ゼノス様の期時を背負うに相応しいのは、俺だけなんだよｵｼ!

In truth, I was supposed to be... I was supposed to act on Zenos-sama’s behalf and rule Doma! I wouldn’t have failed and let it be recaptured! Only I am suitable of carrying out his orders!

No yandere,just another power hungry nutcase. Take my Japanese with a grain of salt though. But after the T9 incident making everyone English speaking think Nael was a dude although pretty much explicitly stated otherwise in other versions, I just like to look deeper ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
