《方舟生存进化》焦土女祭司莱雅石碑翻译

　　莱雅Raia是一名来自古埃及的女祭司，也是焦土的平民守护神。焦土中也有记载莱雅背景故事的石碑，今天小编给大家带来的就是莱雅女祭司石碑的翻译，希望大家能喜欢。

　　莱雅 Raia 是一名来自古埃及的女祭司，作为焦土的生存者，她以文明的方式组件起了部落，建立了城市。她遇到了另一位来自美国的西部黑老大 达奇亚 Dahkeya 。她感激达奇亚的勇猛，也不满他的粗暴。经历了一系列事情后，她与达奇亚相爱。然而方尖碑突然发出巨大能量摧毁了莱雅的部落和家园。最终达奇亚战死，独自活下来的莱雅孵化了龙蛋抚养了幼龙，成为了焦土这片土地上的游侠和平民守护神。

　　石碑记录了上述的故事，并且和达奇亚的生存者笔记相互补充。这两人的笔记时间线基本是一致的。海莲娜和罗克韦尔来到焦土的时候，应该已经是上述故事发生后的数年甚至数十年后。此时的莱雅已经是当地居民口中称呼的守护神Wali。而焦土地图上许多建筑残骸，可能就是莱雅的已故部落留下。

　　Even at this distance the great Obelisk is beautiful. It is like a pillar of Amun-Ra's light given solid form. I wish we could have made our camp right beside it but the others thought that might draw unwanted attention. At least we are close enough to be in its shadow and drink from the river that runs beneath it.

　　I always face it when I pray to Hathor and though i can feel the scepticism in my companions' gazes, my faith is unshaken, for it was my faith that guided us here to this place rich with water and resources. All agree it is the ideal location for a settlement. Wherever we are the gods are watching over us I know it.

　　尖碑虽遥兮唯美，宛若日神（Amun-Ra,古埃及太阳神）流光之凝化。余愿结营兮比邻，惟恐引祸而众不愿。终落营于其影兮，得饮水于下川。

　　余祈愿于爱神（Hathor,古埃及爱神）兮，吾众盯余而感疑。余信念之不动兮，引吾众于此地。水草丰盛，盖为良居。余感诸神知兮，无论吾辈何方。

　　Construction has been going well. None of us are architects, but we have been adjusting to our roles.

　　Girisha's broad shoulders and a booming laugh conceal a keen mind, and we started making better progress once I convinced him to stop hauling rocks and start drawing up plans that let Amir focus on starting a garden where he is more at home.

　　I have focused on trying to keep us organized and maintaining our spirits myself. I wish I could do more, sadly while a priestess has many.jpgts, manual labor is not one of them. I often find myself winded before midday. I pray that the others do not find me burdensome.

　　构营兮顺利。吾辈虽非筑师，然转角色亦矣。

　　吉里萨（Girisha）之魁梧兮，突发狂笑而蔽余之念矣。余说其先拟案兮而后擎石，留艾米尔（Amir）灌溉兮如居家。吾辈终有所成。

　　余诚愿吾辈之团结兮，而不灭于灵。余诚愿吾可多劳作兮，然天赋不佳。祭司如余，虽多神赋，却逊劳工。常半日而喘兮，愿旁人之不觉。

　　Back in Luxor I always tried to stay out of politics. I never aspired to be Divine Adoratrice as some priestesses did. I found that such selfish ambitions often led to suffering both for oneself and for others.

　　So when Girisha referred to me as our leader today. I found myself surprised. I had never asked for such a position and the others had never bestowed it on me in any official manner. It just happened naturally.

　　I am not sure what to make of it but if this is Hathor's will then I will try to guide these people as best as I can.

　　忆往昔兮于故郡（Luxor, 卢克索，古埃及城市），余避政兮而疏议。不期成名如诸祭司，此私心兮不利于己而害人。

　　今夕，吉里萨举余为首，惊兮！余未尝有此念，然其降兮自然。

　　若此为爱神之志兮，余当竭力为指引。纵有疑而不知所为兮，当领吾众向前。

　　Our settlement has grown so quickly during these hectic months. So many wandering souls have found their way here seeking shelter and companionships, have done my best to welcome everyone I can. If treated with understanding most become productive loyal members of our community.But I am no fool. I know that hearts can have two natures. Hathor offers compassion while Sekhmet brings devastation. As we grow in size we become a riper target for those with malice in their hearts.Girisha has tried to organize a militia but I fear it inadequate. For now I must be wary and pray that the gods send us a true warrior.

　　数月劳顿兮得安居，浪人寻家兮归吾乡。余竭所能以迎众。若来者皆怀明理之心，则必速忠爱于吾众。

　　余非驽钝，乃知人心是非：爱神于人爱怜，狮魔（Sekhmet，母狮头女人身的神，主司战争与破坏）于人毁灭。随吾城之扩增，吾众亦为恶徒所掂量。

　　吉里萨欲组兵团，然余忧其不力。余生于忧患，乃夙夜祷告，但求诸神降勇士于斯。

#5

　　It took longer than I'd hope but I believe the gods have heard my prayers.At least I believe so. When I imagined what a true warrior might be like I cannot say that I imagined Captain Dahkeya.

　　He speaks tersely, has no sense of decorum and in general is rather prickly. He was nigh unapproachable for a whole day when we decided his position should be called captain instead of the nonsense word he proposed.

　　Yet he has been getting results or so I am told. When I find time I ought to observe him in action myself.

　　虽历时久于余之所期，然诸神闻于余之祷告。余信也。何期为一勇士兮，余思非达奇亚莫属矣。

　　彼言简兮而语俗，性躁兮而易争。吾众称其为督而非他称，彼颇为不悦也，终日不近人意。

　　彼言有所成以告余。待余闲暇，余当亲睹其所为。

#6

　　I am still not accustomed to the loud fiery weapons that our new captain is training his men to use. Their power is so destructive that it seems almost too much for any mortal man to possess. Yet captain Dahkeya strolls

　　up and down his line of trainees like they are wielding wooden swords, and twirls his own weapon almost absentmindedly.

　　It is somewhat unnerving to find someone so calm around such potent instruments of death. But I suppose that is why he has had such success in securing our borders. I can only hope that we need but one captain Dahkeya and that I never have to use those weapons myself.

　　余不和于火器也。新督（达奇亚）教吾众使器时，其音甚躁，其力甚怖。于吾辈凡人言，此枪之威恐过也。然都督达奇亚之释然，枪转而心不慌。彼于操演之时，闲庭信步，视若木剑。

　　或可惘对此致死之器，余心难安。然此亦为都督护吾众边境之机要。余只期都督一人，不可无一，不再有二。余终不愿亲执此枪械。

#7

　　It has been such a blessing to be able to spread Hathor's joy and love to so many people. At first my daily prayers garnered but a few curious observers. Yet soon observations turned to questions, and questions turned to participation. Now there are so many of us that we have even begun to construct a shrine.

　　I truly wish that I could teach these eager new students all day long, but my duty to the village must come first. Perhaps when our future here is finally secured I shall be able to live the life of apriestess again, but for now I have too many people counting on me. I cannot abandon them.

　　爱神之恩惠广传兮，乐此不彼。余之祈祷始引寥寥观者，然观久成问，问久投身。时至今日，吾众甚多，当筹祭坛。

　　余诚愿可终日传教于此辈学徒，然余之大任不仅于斯，当以全村为先。余愿归故时之祭司生活，先得苟全村之安危于未来。众人信余，余必不弃。

　　Names are a curious thing. We assign them great weight, yet they do not change the substance of the person, place, or thing they belong to. I suppose that line of thinking is why I never dwelled on the name of our humble village. Yet now that it has grown to become somewhat less humble our home can go nameless no longer.People must call it something.

　　To that end Nosti is as good a name as any. I am told that it means to know in some old important language, and whatever our citizens intended that to symbolize when they chose it I know this: while we are here, we are under the protection of the gods.

　　名兮，妙矣。人皆以名为重，虽名不改命。余思忖此乃余不名吾辈朴素村镇之缘也。然事随时迁，余之家园，不可无名。

　　诺思提(Nosti)，此名甚佳。或云，于古语中，其意为“知”。无论吾众何所思，余深信吾辈受诸神之护佑。

#9

　　Lost souls from all across the desert continue to prostrate themselves before Nosti's gates. I adamantly refuse to turn away anyone that does not means any harm, but I realize that has left us with many mouths to feed.

　　As a result, Nosti's fields are its most valuable asset. Fortunately, Girisha's designs, and my organization of labor and resources have once again proven effective. Not only did we implement an efficient irrigation system, but we have encased our crops in a large protective structure made of a clear, shiny substance called glass.

　　Every morning it sparkles with a Amun-Ra's light, like a great gem, a beautiful reminder of what we can accomplish when we are united in purpose.

　　孤魂兮越大漠之不易，伏地兮诺思提之门前。余决不弃任一非恶之人。然余知吾辈须广积粮也。

　　良田于斯，弥足珍贵。幸哉，吉里萨之工计善使吾辈劳力。吾众筑高效之灌溉，构流光之幕墙。其曰：玻璃。

　　曦，其曜如神光，灿若晶石。斯美矣，引吾众以齐心兮，得万事以成矣。

#10

　　Despite our best efforts and the blessing of the gods, tragedy is unavoidable in these strange lands. Yesterday it struck Nosti once more in the form of a mantis attack, and while I could not undo what had been done I hope that I was able to bring some small comfort to those who knew the victims best.

　　Though we lack the resources to properly inter the dead in tombs, we still held a ceremony in their memory and I made time to speak privately with anyone who wished to. Between that and my usual duties I am physically and emotionally exhausted, but when my people are suffering I cannot afford to rest.

　　尽人事兮顺天命，地诡异兮灾难泯。是日，诺思提罹螳螂之袭。往事已矣，但求生者得以慰。

　　虽粮资匮乏，余犹举悼会以寄哀思。余争分秒以长谈于诸事。历此劫难而后履职依然，劳余筋骨，伤余心神。然吾众罹难，余安可坐事乎？

　　Early on I handled all of Nosti’s trade negotiations, and I have had trouble growing out of the habit. I suppose that is why every caravan or hunter that passes through our gates knows my name. Some still insist on speaking with me personally. But I do not mind. I find these dealings rather engaging. It is like playing a game of words.

　　One such caravan arrived yesterday bearing a haul of metal ingots. Our venerable captain has suggested that I bring a contingent of guards to the negotiations, but I would rather not. If our guests are intimidated, they may back out and I would be remiss to waste such an opportunity.

　　余素来钦定诺思提之商贸疏议，业以为常。故往来商贾猎士，俱知吾名。

　　或谓余如此不可，然余不介怀。趣兮，妙兮，商贸之议定，宛若文戏。

　　昨商队携精铁抵于斯，都督使余携勇士以随身。然余以为不可。若来客受胁，一去不返兮，吾辈断不可失此良机。

#12

　　I shall gladly admit that I erred. I shall even admit that I owe Captain Dahkeya my life and offer him all the gratitude he is due. Yet that does not excuse such merciless behavior.

　　Those so called merchants may have stooped to viciousness and cruelty by trying to kidnap me, but that one had surrendered. There was no need to execute him on the spot, was there? It is so hard to see where light ends and darkness begins in this violent place.

　　Perhaps if I could adequately protect myself we could have avoided needless blood shed. Yes, I think it is time I shall master these explosive weapons, and Captain Dahkeya is going to help me.

　　余诚谬矣！若非都督达奇亚，余命不存。余之感激自是不尽，然其之暴戾亦不为容。

　　此些伪商劫余为质或为真恶。然一人已降矣，何须就地杀戮？于斯野蛮之地，善兮，恶兮，难辨矣。

　　若余可自保，则可避此血光之灾。是也，余当学使火器。都督自会教余。

#13

　　Step by step I am learning how to shoot. During my first few lessons the weapons almost jumped out of my hand when I fired them, but my arms have grown stronger and my aim truer.

　　Captain Dahkeya’s presence has been helpful. The same calm that is found unnerving from afar has been steadying from up close. He does not waste his breath in exaggerated praise or criticism,he simply keeps me focused on what I need to do and every thing else just falls away.

　　Considering where I started, he has been very patient with me. Perhaps I should be more patient with him.

　　亦步亦趋兮余乃学射击。初课时，火器竟震脱吾手。然随时迁，臂愈力兮击愈精。

　　都督达奇亚之教导，与余良助。余心静于近临，忧于远观。都督少言，不褒不贬，嘱余弃万念于旁，聚精于准心，会神于目标。

　　念余了无基础，都督耐心非常。或感余焉，余亦须待他甚然。

#14

　　In ancient times, gentle Hathor took the form of the fierce warrior goddess Sekhmet, and unleashed her wrath upon the human world. Yet even duringher relentless slaughter, Hathor was within Sekhmet as Sekhmet was always within Hathor, and when she was eventually calmed the peaceful goddess of joy and love returned.

　　As it is with the goddess, so it is with mankind. The vicious can become kind, and the kind hearted can become violent for all his past transgressions. Captain Dahkeya is no different.

　　He did not grasp Hathor and Sekhment’stale when I told it to him the other day, but if he keeps trying to better himself, then perhaps one day he will.

　　亘古之时，温婉之爱神亦变身凶悍之狮魔，倾忿怒兮人间。纵杀戮无情，爱神之魂犹在狮魔躯内。彼此纠缠，永不分离。待其平静之时，欢乐随爱神重归。

　　神尚如斯，人岂不同？凡恶者可为善，善者可有恶。余思都督达奇亚使然也。

　　旬日之前，余以亘古神话告曰都督，其未明也。然期其善思，终或有一日，彼明此中道理。

#15

　　In principle, I have turned into a competent marksman. Yet in practice how would I fare? When the time comes, could I end another human life?

　　I am not so sure. My mouth grows dry with fear at the very thought. The warrior spirit of Sekhmet surely resides somewhere within the recesses of my heart, but search as I may, I can not find it.

　　As training I offered to put down some of our beasts that had grown deathly ill. It was a merciful act, but it still drew tears from my eyes and twisted my stomach in to knots. I must learn to act in spite of these feelings. My life may depend on it one day.

　　余射技已成，然未历战阵。若诚须如此，可否绝人性命，忧也.

　　余感渴兮长思恐惧，狮魔威兮匿居余心。然余犹不寻思也。

　　余以枪械送病畜之终以为操演。此诚仁也，然余泪目，如梗在腹。余当弃此杂念，或可保己一命。

#16

　　Despite my best efforts, I know that I have strayed from the teachings and customs that I learned so meticulously back home. Out of necessity I have adapted it to both the needs of Hathor’s new followers and the circumstances we all face in this desert.

　　For example, celebrating the gods with feasts and festivals in their name would be wasteful. This sacrifice is particularly unfortunate, for my students deserve some sort of reward for their diligence.

　　Perhaps I can still organize a modest celebration of some sort. In fact, maybe the whole village should have one just to raise everyone’s spirits. Even our venerable Captain might enjoy that. Ah,but I ask for miracles.

　　余尝思故乡之礼教。虽余尽心，然故礼亡吾甚久。余改旧礼，以适此大漠，以悦爱神之信徒。

　　如例，神名之宴虽奢兮，献祭兮不幸。然学徒勤勉，当得馈赠。

　　余自可主持简朴之礼。吾村吾众，皆须提神。都督达奇亚，亦当欢喜。吾辈当举奇迹。

#17

　　I trust our Captain’s judgment on matters of defense, but I still feel ill at ease with his decision to sally against these mantises. It is not that he has left the village unprotected. Quite the contrary. I fear that his own contingent is too small.

　　I know that I should not be concerned. He personally vouched for the caliber of his team, and I have more immediate priorities. Our walls and gates need repairs, our infirmary needs supplies and our morale needs bolstering. I have been scrambling to and fro with such constant urgency that rings have formed beneath my eyes.

　　Yet when I finally earn a moments respite, I am restless with worry.

　　城防之事余以为咸可决于都督。然其所议捕杀螳螂之事，深惴余心。余非忧其离去兮弱吾城防，乃忧其部众之寡。

　　或余多虑矣。彼既誓以军令，余当自理政务。城门兮待修，医院兮待缮，士气兮待鼓。凡此诸变，层出不穷。余瞻前顾后，眶影重重。

　　但得喘息之时，余仍忧思难眠。

#18

　　The people of Nosti come from so many different places, and they all have different ways of thinking. On occasion this incites conflict.

　　Several weeks ago two newcomers came to blows over a long standing feud between their home nations, and just the other day I had to harshly discipline one of my own disciples for harassing the villagers who worship that wooden cross. One time a man even challenged me to aduel for Nosti’s leadership.

　　Yet those same two people who engaged in fisticuffs now work to repair our western gate, and it is stronger for their combined efforts. Perhaps that is why the gods have brought us all here. To help us understand each other.

　　余之庶民，来自八方。思随地异，异则生变。

　　数旬以来，或因陈年旧怨不和而斗，或因诸神信仰不同而斗。余乃按律罚之。为甚者，争权者意欲与余决斗。

　　而今，昔日殴斗之民合力修葺西门也。人心固兮城愈坚。此为诸神引吾辈于斯之真意：知及彼此，爱及彼此。

#19

　　For days, I have prayed for both Hathor's compassion and Sekhmet's healing powers, and for days I have waited. I have faith that they heard me. When I first laid eyes on him,I thought for sure he was dead or dying, but the gods have not yet taken John Dahkeya away from me.

　　My mind knows that I have other responsibilities to attend to, that I cannot afford to spend more time in this room. Yet I know that if I attempt to attend to my duties, my heart will interfere and I cannot neglect it. Not any longer.

　　日夜兮碾转，余祈神不断。爱神悯兮与余关怜，狮魔威兮与余愈合。余感诸神闻祷，神谕降临。余初见达奇亚君时，彼命在旦夕。而诸神终留彼于余身侧也。

　　余自知别有重任，不可久居一室。然余心亦知，若余离去，心神烦扰兮万事休。俱往矣。

#20

　　Without question, it was Hathor's divine will that sent me here, not onlyso I could spread her joy and compassion, but so I could understand her love.

　　I thought I knew it before. I loved my family, I loved my fellow priestesses, and I love all those under my care herein Nosti. Yet only when I finally surrendered myself to it, when I let it rush over my body and carry me like the current of a great river did I truly understand it. Only now can I claim to embody Hathor's teachings, thanks to John Dahkeya, this warrior from a distant time and place.

　　And now, together, we can turn this desert into a paradise.

　　神意使然，别无疑虑。爱神引余于斯，非止令余传爱，乃使余感爱。

　　余尝自以为知爱。爱兮，广矣。家兮，伴兮，居兮，民兮，城兮，皆为爱。然挚爱缠身，汹涌兮如海浪之荡涤。余终有一悟，何为情爱？惟见遥时之勇士，方得深明爱神之教诲。达奇亚君，余之情郎，谢兮。

　　愿君心伴余，化大漠如天堂。

#21

　　The mood in Nosti has been so jubilant lately that I think we may just hold a festival after all, and why not? We have plenty of cause to celebrate.

　　With the mantis threat diminished, our scouts were able to establish an outpost in the north, where they discovered a wealth of thick, black oil seeping through cracks in the earth. Thanks to this bounty, we have been able to create amazing new tools, and fill our storehouses to the brim. A festival would hardly make a dent.

　　I am sure my beloved Captain will disagree. Ever the dutiful worrier. Fortunately, I can be quite convincing where John Dahkeya is concerned, and for one day, we deserve to supplant worry and duty with song and dance.

　　群心悦兮满城，如庆典兮长临。何不乐兮于斯，诸事欣兮待欢。

　　螳螂已除，岗哨已立。北境之缘，地渗黑油。谢此天助兮以资吾城，吾辈制新器，铸新械。仓廪足而盼礼乐，一笑何足释余欣。

　　余思达郎必不为然，彼恪尽职守，不苟言笑。然余善释其怀，且一洗劳工之困顿兮，歌舞升以欢愉。

#22

　　As I watched Girisha's team construct the curious, bladed tower that is meant to harness the power of Shu's winds, I could not help but marvel at how far we have come. In such a short time, Nosti has risen from nothing into a true city, with wonders that would make even the great Pharaohs envious.

　　For all its storms and monsters, this desert grows less threatening to us each day, and fewer people are forced to suffer and die by its hand. Perhaps one day, no one will. If we can achieve that, then every hardship and every sacrifice we have endured will have been worth it.

　　余睹吉里萨之行伍铸此怪异刀锋之塔。其可借风神（Shu）之力以供能。余不期于此片刻已经历甚多。诺思提城起于无，奇迹遍布兮足以妒古来法老王矣。

　　风暴已去，妖兽已休。此大漠不再胁吾等性命。或终得一日，无人复危。诚如是兮，吾辈之殇俱有所值。

#23

　　Over the last few days, the lights of the great obelisks have been pulsing with a rhythm and intensity that I have never seen before. It is a beautiful, soothing sight,particularly at night. It almost looks like they are singing a song to the stars above. Surely this is a sign of the gods' favor. Hathor is offering usher blessing.

　　Having another festival would be exorbitant, so I have organized a special round of ceremonies and prayers after dusk instead. Thus far they have gone wonderfully,and everyone has left with renewed faith and vigor.

　　I wonder how long this display will last?

　　近日非常，尖碑频闪，光如律动，前所未见。光景怡人，夜色舒心。璀璨兮如仰星之遥唱，愉悦兮如爱神之赐福。

　　圣典犹奢，殊仪恰可。微时，余与众徒诚祷之。众人随万事怡然，信仰与生机同在。

　　余不知此景存于久乎？

#24

　　Sometimes, I wonder how John can carry on, with no faith in a higher purpose or power and eyes that see threats everywhere. Even when we are safe and secure, he insists on sleeping with a weapon at arms' length. It is no wonder that he suddenly believes the obelisks could be dangerous.

　　Fortunately I have enough faith for the both of us. I have faith that he will protect us from the flying lizards that have recently appeared, I have faith that the obelisks would never harm us, and I even have faith that I shall forgive his constant prodding on the latter. That final matter might require some additional effort on his part, however. He has been simply relentless about it.

　　余或思：达郎不仰诸神不求猛力，何以坚持？纵然身栖安居，其目终见危机。其以尖碑为虑，以之为险，唯枕戈方可待旦矣。

　　幸哉余之信念坚定：余信其力足以御飞龙，余信神威永不害庶众，余亦信其冒犯尖碑之所为可得慰。然则，兹事体大，其意绝决。余恐犹须其努力，方得慰藉。

#25

　　What did I do wrong? Despite every trial and tribulation, I kept my faith in Hathor, Amun-Ra and all the gods. No I did more than that. I gave them new followers, I built shrines for them, and held ceremonies for them.

　　So why? Why did the obelisks light up the sky and call down such a terrible doom upon my new home? Why would the gods tear the very earth asunder and send all that I have built and cherished tumbling into the abyss? Where did I betray them?

　　Were it not for John I would not even be able to ask such questions. I would just be some dead fool, whose last act would have been to beg for salvation from the very gods who have forsaken me.

　　余何错之有？历磨砺兮而牺牲，余犹深信诸神。余之信念不止于此：余为诸神引新徒，筑神坛，举圣典。然则何以尖碑闪耀，天降末日？何以众神裂土，万物归墟？余错何在？

　　若非达郎所救，余命不存，更难发问于斯。余之愚钝，竟于末世之时，犹乞诸神之救赎。

#26

　　My mind is filled with the dead. I see the smiling faces of my students,eager to learn. I hear Girisha's laugh, deep and merry. I see the out stretched hand of John's trusted lieutenant as she fell into the darkness below.

　　John tells me not to blame myself, that what happened was unpredictable. Yet how can I not feel guilty when I led so many to worship the instruments of our destruction, all the while promising to keep them safe?

　　Somehow, I must bury these emotion sand focus on the present, as John does. If I cannot tear my mind away from what I have lost, I will lose all I have left. I cannot let that happen. I cannot let the gods take him too.

　　魂殇于余思，灵触于余心。吉里萨（Girisha）之畅笑兮回响于耳，众生音容宛在，身死非命。达郎所信之尉官伸手求援，但悲睹其身终坠深渊也。

　　达郎慰余曰，此间种种，皆不可期，不必自责。然余罪深重，岂可自欺？余引众生叩拜方舟以期保佑，然其毁家灭城，涂炭生灵。

　　逝者已往，余当节哀以着眼未来。诚如达郎，若余不脱身于所失之过往，必丢命于危难之当前。余断不可如此，诸神莫可夺吾达郎！

#27

　　You would have been proud of me. I controlled my breathing, just like you taught me, even with the tears streaming down my face. Even with all the hate and anger in my heart, I kept my aim steady, and I killed them. I killed them all, John.

　　So why have you abandoned me, too? You were the survivor, not I. These creatures should not have been enough to kill you. You were too strong. I need you too much.

　　Please. Come back to me. I need to hear your voice. I need to see your smile. Please. Please.

　　君当以吾为傲！泪淌余面兮气息不惊，仇燃余心兮持枪平稳。达郎，如君所教，余已悉数戮龙。

　　何以弃余而去！何以不得幸存！生者当为君，非余也。此间妖孽岂可伤君？君之威，何等壮哉！余之思，何等切矣！

　　归兮！归兮！余愿闻君音，愿睹君笑。归兮！归兮！

#28

　　When I found them, I wanted to smash them to bits. Those eggs were the spawn of the monsters that slew my beloved, and they did not deserve my pity.Yet I also knew they could help me. If I could raise these creatures as my own servants, then even those traitorous gods of mine could not strike me down.

　　I have constructed a great bonfire tomimic the warmth provided by their mother, and gathered milk from the mightiest of the fallen beasts so that I may feed them when they hatch. Hopefully it is enough.

　　No, it will be. I will raise these creatures, I will master them and I will survive. I promise you, John. I will live for both of us.

　　初见时余尝有一念，以尽碎其卵。此皆为戮吾至爱之妖孽后代，岂可怜矣？然余痛定思痛，何不抚其成龙，为余所驭？若如是，其可助余以敌诸神之背弃也。

　　余燃雄火暖之，以代母龙之息。余取龙乳备之，以待幼兽求哺。余尽榨所戮中最巨者，以期充沛。

　　诚当如是。余必抚育幼龙，以助余生。达郎，誓为君而生！

#29

　　When the creatures first hatched, I dared not go near them without weapon in hand, but by now we have grown accustomed to each other. I once heard that a newborn creature may identify the first living thing it sees as its parent. I believe that has occurred here. I have become a mother to monsters.

　　So be it. The gods have forsaken me and my love has been taken from me, so gone now is the Raia of old. Gone are the last vestiges of Hathor's joy and tranquility. Let my heart fill with Sekhmet's might and fury, and with monsters at my back and steel in my hands, let the desert know my wrath.

　　Never shall anyone take from me again, be it god, beast or man.

　　破壳之时，余不敢徒手轻近之。而今，余与幼龙彼此熟悉矣。余尝闻雏以初见之生灵为父母，盖属实也。余已为恶龙之母。

　　然诸神弃余，夺吾至爱之时，昔日莱亚已逝。爱神恩德无存，狮魔威怒焚心。今身驾恶龙，手执坚锐，余当使大漠知吾愤忿！

　　无论人神，亦或猛兽，余已了无牵挂，无可失却。

　　I have seen so much since we last spoke, John. There are secrets in this desert that you would never believe, dangers that would have paralyzed me with fear when we first met, but I am a different woman now. Would you recognize me still, behind this black veil?

　　I still find ways to help people, though not as I used to. I am no shepherd to the lost, no healer of wounded souls.Sometimes I simply defend the defenseless, or guide those few who seek the truth behind this cursed place.

　　Perhaps one day, someone will find that truth, strike down the false gods of this land, and at last grant me rest.Yet until that day comes, know that I will not falter. Know that I will carry on.

　　别君谈笑兮时已迁，岁月沧桑兮思如故。达郎，君难信此间狂沙所掩之秘也。若如与君初见时，余必为此危险所痹。然今非昔比，余已不同。韶华已逝，黑纱拂面，不知君犹可识余？

　　余素以助人为乐，而非行昔日之法。余非牧者以领羔羊，亦非药师以愈伤魂。于此诅咒之地，余之所为，或护弱小，或引路途而已。

　　终有一日，或将揭此真相，溃灭伪神，还余安息。然于此前，余当鞠躬尽瘁，砥砺前行。
