Short filmTranscript
00:00I want to have your baby, Orpheus.
00:02No. No children.
00:05This contractual marriage is bad enough.
00:07Bringing a child into it would only make it worse.
00:09We've been married for ten years.
00:11Can't you show me a little love?
00:13I said from the start, no sex, no love, remember?
00:17A contract marriage is still a marriage, and I am still your wife.
00:22Even if you don't love me, after ten years,
00:26don't you care of me even a little bit?
00:40Something happened today.
00:42I was on a volcanic island.
00:44Orpheus, Eris' messenger sprite is looking for you.
00:48Wait a moment.
00:51Eris again.
00:53Orpheus, you really don't care about me.
00:56At all.
00:58Tell Eris. I will arrange it.
01:02Orpheus!
01:03I heard that Aphrodite was injured when the volcano erupted.
01:06What did you say?
01:08Didn't you hear?
01:08The temple released a list of the injured, and Aphrodite's name is on it.
01:12Something happened today.
01:13I was on a volcanic island.
01:25Aphrodite, Eryx wants to drink the nectar you brewed.
01:28Please send it to the temple later.
01:29I think she will be grateful for a visit from her friend.
01:32We are not friends.
01:33Then we'll just call it a good deed, okay?
01:35Like what you did for my father.
01:37Do you...
01:39Like her?
01:43Just do as I say, Aphrodite.
01:49Did Orpheus tell you to bring me nectar?
01:51He's always been like that, knowing exactly what I need.
01:55Even since I was a young girl, whatever I want, he gets it for me right away.
02:02I thought it would be better to tell you this news myself, rather than have you hear it from Orpheus.
02:10I'm pregnant with Orpheus' child.
02:13What?
02:15I want to have your baby, Orpheus.
02:17No.
02:18No children.
02:20Orpheus was thrilled to hear that I was pregnant.
02:22He said he would personally teach our child how to wield a sword and make him the bravest god on
02:27Mount Olympus.
02:28Yes, yes. My child will one day inherit all that Orpheus has.
02:32All his glory, everything.
02:34Eris, this is a sacred pregnancy. Orpheus song to you.
02:40It turns out Orpheus isn't against having children.
02:43He just doesn't want to have them with me.
02:56My word, she is beautiful.
03:00Hello. I am Dynasius. Who are you?
03:04I am Aphrodite, the goddess of love. I'm looking for Orpheus.
03:08You're Aphrodite? Orpheus' wife?
03:11Yes. Is there a problem?
03:13No. Orpheus has mentioned you.
03:16I finally see why Orpheus has always kept you hidden away from the rest of us.
03:21Anyway, Orpheus hasn't returned yet.
03:24Perhaps I can show you around while you wait for him?
03:29This is Oceus, where the stars come to bathe at night.
03:32You can see some sprites flittering among them.
03:36God, old Renault died.
03:43Aphrodite, what are you doing here?
03:45I saw your name on the list of the injured.
03:48Were you there when the volcano erupted?
03:51Orpheus, save me.
03:52She is only a contractual wife, not a real wife.
03:55No, no children.
03:57I'm pregnant with Orpheus' child.
04:07Orpheus, I want a divorce.
04:10What?
04:13Aphrodite, you must be joking.
04:19The fate said, if we each put a drop of our blood on this marriage certificate, our union will be
04:25dissolved.
04:26But why?
04:28Why now?
04:29I thought you'd be happy.
04:31Isn't this what you wanted?
04:33You used my father, Apollo, to gain power on Mount Olympus.
04:37Now that you've gotten what you want, you want to cast me aside with a divorce?
04:41Believe whatever you want, Orpheus.
04:44I don't care what you think of me anymore.
04:47I waited ten years, hoping that things would change and that you would one day care about me.
04:52But now I understand that day will never come.
04:54I've had enough.
05:02Aphrodite!
05:16You need to think about Apollo.
05:18He issued the Oracle that brought us together.
05:21You know that his decrees have never been defied.
05:24I respect Apollo, but I can't live like this anymore.
05:28Put your blood on the paper, Orpheus.
05:31I have bad news!
05:32Apollo has been severely injured in Tartarus!
05:48Apollo was ambushed by the hundred-headed serpent.
05:51His divine soul has been severely damaged, and his power is dissipating.
05:56How can we save him?
05:57It will be difficult.
05:58He must be kept absolutely calm.
06:01He can have no emotional upsets.
06:03Any excitement will cause him to worsen quickly, and his powers will completely desert him.
06:09You've come.
06:10Father Apollo, how are you?
06:13Having you here eases my pain.
06:16Is there anything we can do for you?
06:17Nothing.
06:18Seeing you two together and happy is the greatest comfort I could have.
06:23You two are so quiet.
06:25Is something on your mind?
06:27No.
06:29All is fine, Father.
06:32That's good.
06:34Orpheus, Aphrodite, you must treat each other well.
06:39You two are the only ones I care about now.
06:43You heard what the god of medicine said.
06:45Aralo cannot have any emotional upsets now.
06:48If father knew that you want to divorce me, it would be a terrible shock.
06:51I don't know if he could survive it.
06:54What are you trying to say, Orpheus?
06:56Until Apollo gets through this critical period, let's postpone the divorce and act like a happy, loving couple.
07:02I know it's a lot to ask.
07:04But it's not for my sake, it's for Apollo.
07:07Please, think about it, Aphrodite.
07:10I love and respect Apollo.
07:12He's been very kind to me.
07:14So I'll go along with this charade, but don't expect me to like it.
07:20Orpheus, what on earth did you do to Aphrodite?
07:23She's so upset with you, she'll do anything to divorce you.
07:27What?
07:28This is just outrageous!
07:30You're on the verge of getting divorced, now you have to play the loving couple with Orpheus?
07:35Isn't it ridiculous?
07:36I spent ten years trying to make him care about me.
07:38But just when I decided I'd had enough, he starts being a lot nicer to me.
07:42Aphrodite, you can't keep doing this.
07:45Every time you give him another chance, it's always you who gets hurt in the end.
07:50Don't worry, this is the last time.
07:53So tell me, is Orpheus hiding something?
07:59Could it be he's into male gods?
08:04Impossible!
08:05Then he must be impotent.
08:07What else could it be?
08:08He has the bloodline of the god of light and possesses divine power.
08:12But maybe his divine power fails him in the bedchamber.
08:19Impotent.
08:21Is that what you think of me?
08:22Aren't you going to answer my question?
08:27What am I supposed to think?
08:29You haven't touched me once, in ten years.
08:31Because it's not in our contract, remember?
08:33No sex.
08:34That's what we agreed on.
08:36Of course.
08:37I remember very clearly.
08:39There's no need for you to keep reminding me.
08:44Are you trying to get me to touch you?
08:47Is this what you want?
08:49Look, I agreed to maintain the status quo until Apollo recovers.
08:52I'll keep my promise.
08:54But this marriage is over!
08:56Does she want a divorce because I don't touch her?
08:59Does she want to have intercourse with me?
09:02But I've never thought of her that way.
09:04Orpheus?
09:05Orpheus, Dionysus has brewed new wine for you.
09:07He said you could also give it to Aphrodite, as it helps heal wounds.
09:24Orpheus, what are you doing here?
09:31I just wanted to hold her in my arms.
09:35I've been thinking about what you said.
09:37Do you really want to break the rules of our marriage and actually be with me?
09:42Yes, that's exactly what I want.
09:44Why didn't you say something earlier?
09:46Well, now that I've said it, what are you going to do?
09:50It's very simple.
09:51Why didn't you say something earlier?
10:13Orpheus, Orpheus, please.
10:15Say it.
10:16Please, take me.
10:27It was just a dream.
10:31Orpheus, Eris' messenger sprite, came to see you.
10:34I happened to meet her and was asked to deliver the message.
10:39Well, what is it?
10:40Because of her pregnancy, Eris is having trouble controlling her powers.
10:44She's afraid that something might happen if she stays alone.
10:46She asks if she can move in with you.
10:50So, what do you think?
10:52Should we give the Western Palace to Eris?
10:55Do as you please.
10:58No, this is your home too.
11:00And your opinion matters, Aphrodite.
11:04It won't matter much longer.
11:06So do whatever you want.
11:10Eris' didest father was kind to you.
11:12It's only right that you take care of her now.
11:15But moving her into the temple where you and Aphrodite live together?
11:19Isn't that a bit much?
11:21But Eris is alone and pregnant.
11:23What about Aphrodite?
11:24What will she think of this?
11:25She said it was my decision.
11:27Anyway, we're getting divorced soon.
11:28Since you two are going your separate ways, may I, uh, try my hand with Aphrodite?
11:33What?
11:34You want to romance Aphrodite?
11:35Don't take it personally, Orpheus.
11:37I've met lots of goddesses, but Aphrodite is truly special.
11:40So, what do you say?
11:41Why would it matter to you anyway?
11:42You two are only spouses on paper.
11:44She's her own woman.
11:46She can do what she wants.
11:47I won't interfere.
11:48Wonderful!
11:48Thank you, Orpheus.
11:50This temple is so much more suitable for a baby than my place.
11:53As soon as I came in, I felt my powers stabilizing.
11:57Orpheus, thank you for taking me in.
12:00When should we tell Hades that you're pregnant?
12:02He's the father and he should be responsible for the child.
12:06This baby is the result of one drunken night with Hades, and it was a big mistake.
12:11I don't plan to tell him I'm pregnant.
12:13Where's Aphrodite?
12:15Is she in the Temple of Eras?
12:24Are you okay?
12:25Are you okay?
12:32Are you going out?
12:34I have a prior engagement.
12:36Aphrodite!
12:41Aphrodite, you're so beautiful.
12:43So you're going out with him?
12:45Time for us to go, Dionysus.
12:47Come, my lady.
12:52Well, we're off.
12:53See you later.
13:00Before our date officially starts, let me give you my miraculous ointment.
13:05It will prevent any scarring from your wounds.
13:14If this hurts at all, let me know.
13:16I have lots of other medicines here.
13:22Orpheus never took care of me like this.
13:25Well, I'm not Orpheus.
13:28Orpheus, I have a headache.
13:30Could you give me a massage?
13:31Just, uh, rest a bit.
13:34Or I can call us Repheus to check on you.
13:38Okay.
13:40Go and bring Aphrodite back.
13:43Damned Aphrodite.
13:44I'm not going to let you take Orpheus away from me.
13:51My goodness, Dionysus, the wine you brew is delicious.
13:55Wait, don't move.
14:02Wait, I'm not going to let you, let you, let me know.
14:04Hey, Dad.
