Shut up, you brats!
Who in the world are you?
Still one left, huh?
I'm Mogue, the Rock man.
Why disturb me in my nap?
I'm not disturbing you. It's the silver wolves.
The silver wolves?
So Grunwald let them loose again.
Grunwald?
He is a cheap pesky man.
What's the matter?
Oh, just a small thorn.
All right, let me pull it out.
You can't.
It isn't so small that you can pull it out.
Oh, that!
There, I told you. It's no use.
Let me try.
It's out! It's out!
Really? What do you know about that?
This is a sword, isn't it?
Yes, it's a very good one too. The Sword of the Sun.
The Sword of the Sun?
You can have it, if you want.
But can you re-forge it, I wonder?
Sure I can.
No, you can't. Not by yourself.
Listen, son.
When it's been forged and you've learned how to use it,
I, Mogue, will come to take a look.
Then you'll be called...
...Prince of the Sun.

Hols!
Your father is dying!
Father!
No, Father, no!
Hols.
There is something I have to tell you before I go.
No, don't go. Please don't leave me!
Listen, Son.
We once lived far north in our quiet seaside village.
Then this devil came along.
- A devil? - Yes, a wicked one.
He took advantage of our weakness
and scattered the people until they ruined their own village.
I decided that we were finished,
but I had to save you from them.
So I left the village.
But I know now that what I did was wrong.
Go to your people, Hols. Go to your friends.
Where are they, Father? Where are my friends?
Be brave and fight with all your strength.
You have nothing to be afraid of.
No, Father, no.
What do we do now?
Are you coming with me, Coro?
Sure, Hols. But where to?
Hop in.
Tell me where.
We're going where men live, where our friends live.
Look.
An arrow! A sign of men, Coro!
I don't smell anything here.
Hey, Hols, a whale!
Oh, it's just a sand hill. You tricked me.
- Help! - What's the matter?
Hols! Help me!
Grab it!
Hols!
Go to the people! Go to the village!
Welcome back alive, son.
Who are you?
You don't know me? I am Grunwald.
Grunwald?
Take it easy.
I'm not trying to kill you.
I've heard you are a promising boy and I want you to be my little brother.
- So I sent for you. - Your brother?
Sure. I am the strongest one in the world, the greatest, too.
You destroyed the village and killed many villagers.
So you know something about it.
I won't be on your side!
See? Your life is in my hands.
Just as the whole world is.
Can you resist me? Nobody can resist me.
You can't beat me. I swear I'II...
You'll what, son?
I'll knock you down!
Better die.
Go to the devil! That's what happens to those who resist!
The whole world is mine.
Hey, wait!
Wait!
Oh, gosh!
Are you all right?
I feel much better.
Look. A red hot iron is beautiful.
But forged steel is more beautiful.
Was this also forged?
Yes, just like this.
It's that sword that saved you.
- Is this going to be forged too? - Yeah.
It's so beautiful.
Are you all right?
No better.
Then eat plenty, though it's not much.
Ordinarily we'd have a big run of fish, but...
Thank you.
We will catch them very soon.
I hope so.
There's no worry. Molas knows what he is doing.
He is strong, isn't he?
Yes, he is, but...
He can get him all right.
Get who?
A monstrous pike downstream.
Everybody is out to catch him.
And they will.
Flep.
Mama, Papa is...
Don't cry. I'll get his revenge.
Didn't I tell you, Chief? It's no use.
He is jinxed. Don't annoy him.
You mean we should leave him alone?
Sure. I saw him grab Molas in his jaws.
He even kills birds and animals.
He'll finally starve the whole village.
Don't make his death useless. Let's go to get him!
Let's go, all of you.
Let me join you.
Don't go.
Don't waste your lives.
There must be a better way.
She's right. Molas was thoughtless.
He should've thought of his family.
But we'll be starved.
No, Boldo.
I mean that we should go at it together.
Please understand this.
When we risk our lives, we should do it together.
What are you doing here? Aren't you brave like Molas?
You don't need these, do you?
I got him!
I see.
No! You didn't!
Are you sure you got him?
No, you didn't!
You can't kill him. You can't kill him.
But I'll kill him when I grow big.
I'll do it for Papa.
I'm sorry, Flep.
Hey! Big news, everybody. Big news!
Father. Father, look at this.
So there's a run of fish.
You did it? You're great.
I'm Potom. Let's go.
Oh, this is a village. People are here.
Oh, food!
Hey!
Hey, you little thief!
Coro!
Hols!
He is alive?
And killed my pike?
You were with the pike!
But I haven't lost yet. There are many ways.
Go and get them. Every one who resists me.
But be careful. Hols must be dead before he becomes powerful.
On that my future depends.
Was that the same silver wolf?
Yes. One of Grunwald's for sure.
You mean he's after our village?
But don't worry. We can go fight him together.
Hols.
She wants to give you a present, Hols.
A present?
These were my husband's clothes.
Hey, Hols.
Let's play, Hols.
Let's dance tonight in honor of Hols.
Look at the big hero, Chief. He thinks he's a hero.
There's no proof that he killed the pike.
But we had a big run of fish.
That's the point.
He must be pulling some trick. We are being fooled.
You think so?
Hey, wait!
Wolves!
A pack of wolves are coming!
That's my barn.
That's my barn. My barn!
We're making a barricade.
That's my barn!
No!
We've lost them.
What's that?
Who are you?
Do you live in this village?
Who are you?
Hols. I live in another village.
Do you?
Where do you live?
I can't live anywhere. No village will take me in.
Why not?
My village was ruined by the Devil.
I was the only survivor, but the Devil cast a spell on me.
I'm alone, but not lonely,
because I can sing.
Was your village ruined, too?
My little friend, Chiro.
And my good partner, Toto.
My name is Hilda. I'm a happy singing girl.
I think you are lonely...
just like I was when I was alone.
Oh, you, too?
Then we might be twins. Yes, we must be twins!
Why don't you come to our village. They'll welcome you for sure.
If you come to our village, sing to them with your harp.
I'd love to go there, if they'd take me in.
I wish I could sing to my heart's content.
Your singing is the best I've ever heard.
A little sad, though.
Let's go.
He brought a girl? He's got no right to do that.
It's he who made them break my barn, too.
Of course not. You must draw the line.
You are the Chief, and I'm the Deputy.
A beautiful voice.
She is a good singer.
What's the matter with you? Where are you all going?
Boldo.
I don't feel like working. Every time she starts singing, they all go.
What can we do alone?
Darn it!
I have a good idea. I can make use of her.
Sure, you can make use of her only to ruin yourself.
Oh, I don't feel like doing anything.
They all leave their work to be with Hilda. No one wants to work.
Except Hols.
Hols alone cannot accomplish much.
How about you?
Nobody is really worried.
What if the Devil comes to the village again...
How about you, I wonder?
You may be losing yourself to Hilda's spell.
Potom!
He is with Pop.
I saw the silver wolves again in the wood. I'll get my sword forged.
No use.
But we have to finish this.
Let me see what you've turned out.
Is that the sword?
Hilda!
No... it's nothing...
Are you all right?
Yes, but why?
You're tired from being used. You've always been ordered to right.
I thought you'd faint.
I'm all right.
OK if you are.
I gave up the sword, but I have this hatchet my father gave me.
I'll kill the Devil who ruined yours and our villages with this.
No use. You won't have a chance to beat the Devil,
with that hatchet, nor that sword.
Hilda!
The Sword of the Sun?
Tell her not to be afraid of it. Remember, she is my sister.
You are right, Mr. Grunwald.
Tell her to oust Hols immediately.
Then, my sword will be waiting.
Hi. How do you like this village?
By the way, Hilda, I want you to do me a favor.
Why don't you work with me for the welfare of the village?
With you for the village?
I'm serious. You know, the Chief is too old and conservative
and Potom is too young.
What about Hols?
He's dangerous. That makes one man the administrator, me.
And I need your singing.
I want you to sing so that I can make them follow me.
Your singing is so hypnotizing.
All right, I'll sing for you.
Hilda, I'll show you a nice thing.
Do you like it? Do you want to wear it?
Why don't you do a stitch for Pilia, too?
It'll be your turn sooner or later.
Then we'll make embroidery for you.
What do you think, everybody?
Sure. She'll make a beautiful bride.
Who is the bridegroom?
Hols, of course.
She doesn't know how to use a needle.
Don't blame her. Come on, I'll show you.
Ridiculous! What good would that dress do?
It can burn. It can turn into ashes.
Hilda.
There is a lot more I can do!
The red sun is Lusan's heart Pilia's heart
Let's sing a song For the happy couple
Come on, Hilda.
Sing, Hilda.
What's the matter, Hilda?
We'll be late for the wedding.
How unlucky we are. We lost the silver wolves.
Now we are losing out on the wedding feast.
Yeah.
Hols, it's gone!
Rats!
No!
Pilia.
Don't worry about me, Lusan.
Take me to our new home.
OK.
What happened?
Rats attacked our village.
So they did it again. Those silver wolves.
Wolves? But it's strange. Only you saw them.
Only you said you killed the monster pike.
Only you weren't there when the rats came to threaten the village people.
Why?
When the Devil burnt our village, there was one missing, too.
Why, I wonder?
Hilda.
She is right.
Since he came to the village, strange things have been happening.
Good job, Hilda, good job. We'll get rid of Hols soon.
Those rats sure came at the right moment.
That's Hols' hatchet, isn't it?
Oh! I got it.
Thank you, Hilda.
Let's play, Hilda.
Come, Hilda.
No, no. You must do this. Understand?
You are no fun. Please sing a song for me.
Sing the one I like most.
Oh, of course.
I'm sorry, Mauni. I can't really sing.
Mauni.
Well done, Hilda. Now go ahead and finish them off.
Mr. Grunwald can't wait. He wants Hols dead.
Poor little thing, she is going to be in a deeper sleep soon.
No, I'll spare Mauni.
Help Mauni. So what, Hilda? You can't fool yourself with that.
You'd only make another lonely Hilda
who'd be sad but couldn't cry?
Shut up, Chiro.
Why shouldn't you go with them,
picking flowers, embroidering and marrying?
Shut up, Chiro. She has something far better.
Man dies, but she is immortal.
Mr. Grunwald's Medal of Life protects her.
Are you afraid to die? Would you kill Mauni and Hols in order to live?
I said shut up!
No, that's not true. But I'm the devil's sister.
I have no other way but fighting with people.
That's not what you really think.
I'm a devil. A devil's sister.
Mr. Grunwald told you to mind your own business.
I'll make you remember it.
Forgive me. I won't say anything more!
Why did you stop singing?
What's the matter?
Go away!
I know, you are lonely.
You wouldn't know. Go away!
You'd better open up to me. Anything you have on your mind.
What can I say? That I'll kill you someday?
Kill me?
There is nothing to fear... Any demon will...
No use. Man must die.
Hilda.
I missed!
Hols.
Anything wrong?
Hols! How dare you!
Remember this hatchet?
Where did you find it?
Somebody used it on my father.
- What do you mean? - What's your excuse?
I lost it in the wood yesterday.
You lost it?
Yes, I did. I was chasing the silver wolves.
Shut up. Nobody has seen them.
If there is a devil, it's you who tried to kill me.
Do you have any proof?
This hatchet is enough.
I could've used it.
What?
I said anybody could have used it.
Pop is right. It wasn't Hols.
Ask Hilda, she was with me.
I just came back. How could I do it?
She says she wasn't with you.
Hilda!
I know. Hilda did it.
No, she didn't. We are all being fooled. There must be somebody behind it.
Hilda, why...
Watch out, Hilda!
See what he just tried to do?
He even tried to kill a girl like her to protect himself.
Will you still let him be? Wake up, folks! Get him out of here!
No, Coro.
Stop it!
Get out of here!
Stop it!
Listen to me.
Go away, stranger!
There he goes.
I'm not going away.
I'll be back with evidence to show you who the Devil is.
You'll get no chance to get him without the Sword of the Sun.
Hols.
Oh, Hilda!
Where are you going?
I know the monster. I'm going to fight him.
Why don't you fight me first?
You didn't know anything.
The Hilda you saved is your enemy.
What do you mean?
Poor Hols, you are human after all.
Human like that mean Drago,
the uncertain chief and the double-crossing villagers.
I can't understand. Tell me what you are talking about, Hilda.
I'll tell you. Hilda is in fact Grunwald's sister.
What?
Your lost hatchet, the assault on the Chief, the rats and wolves,
all were brought on by Hilda in order to destroy mankind.
No! Say no, Hilda.
You'll see what I really am.
You'll die on this very day you were double-crossed by men.
No, you are not a monster. Even so, you can be human.
No, I don't want to.
No, you are fooling yourself, or being fooled. Sing your song again, Hilda.
You shut up. You fool.
Kill him, Hilda.
Well done.
Shame! It's a shame to kill Hols.
I hate you. I really hate you.
Chiro.
Goodbye. Goodbye Hilda.
I'll never see you again, or Grunwald either.
Where are you going?
To the village. Even if I get killed by Grunwald or by you,
I want to be with the people.
Goodbye, Hilda.
Chiro!
I have news for you. Hols has fallen into the Lost Wood.
Great job, Hilda.
The Lost Wood is endless. He'll wander until he dies.
Hilda! Come back!! Please come back.
Get your human heart back! Your tender heart!
No, this can't beat me!
Look at that!
You can't laugh.
What?
Hols will be back. One Hols after another.
Idiot!
And the day will come when men will believe him and each other.
Shut up! I'll kill every one of them.
Go, Hilda. Finish him.
- No! - What?
I'll go back to the northern country.
And live by the frozen lake.
All right. I'll show how you'll end up if you disobey me.
See? That's how you'll end up.
This is how you die!!
Now go, and kill Hols for your own sake.
Hilda! Hilda!
Everything about you was phony, is it so?
What's that?
The Devil! It's Grunwald. The one Hols has been talking about.
- The Devil? - Drago.
Oh, snow.
What do we do, Ganco?
Well...
Help me, Pop! Potom! Coro!
Go away, stranger!
Go to your people, Son.
My people? But, Father, where are they?
I'll tell you.
You'll see what I really am.
Hilda is really Grunwald's sister.
I want you to be my little brother.
You, too? Then we might be twins.
Twins!
Don't come near me, Hilda.
Twins!
Don't!
Father.
We are going to fight.
Fight?
We'll build a big fire and protect our village.
Everybody?
They're all ready.
Anybody who wants to join us come to my house.
Hilda intimidates man.
Hilda drowns Hols.
You phony!
Hilda split them up.
You'll be destroyed, too.
Hilda destroys them... splits them up...
I know! I know what to do.
A way out!
I've got it, Ganco...
Hilda, come with me to the village.
I was right.
I knew we could get the other Hilda out of you.
Come to the village, Hilda.
That's the Hilda we must get out of you.
Be brave and show them how human you really are.
There, you are human.
Goodbye, Hols.
Hilda.
My brother went to the village. You'd better hurry to help Flep and Mauni.
Hilda.
Are you all right?
Where will we be safe?
What?
That's right.
No matter where we may go, the Devil will come.
Look!
He isn't immortal either.
Let's fight right here till the end.
Yes, let's fight with till we die!
The Sword of the Sun!
Hols!
I know what to do. We'll forge the sword in the fire we built together
and it'll be the best weapon to beat the Monster, the best weapon.
Let's all pitch in.
Hols! Hols! Hols!
Stop it!
Darn, Hilda.
Take my Medal of Life.
Hilda, Hilda, Hilda.
It's been forged!
Hey!
The sword! Go on, hurry! Quickly!
Let's go.
Shoot!
Thank you very much, Mogue.
You did it. A beautiful sword.
Darn it!
Flep.
Hols, use this and beat him. You can fly with this.
This is Hilda's.
Hilda's?
Hilda betrayed me.
Go, Hols. I'll take care of the mammoth.
Oh, there!
Go!
Oh, the sun!
Raise your harpoons!
Where is Hilda? Is she dead?
Why am I alive without the medal?
Oh, Hilda!
Hilda, Hilda, Hilda.
Mauni.
Hilda, Hilda, Hilda.
Let's go.
THE END
