Chapter 9: The Fire

Rocford, Odet and Odile flew onto the tower of the castle.

They changed back into people.

Odile was weeping loudly.

The wizard just laughed his evil laugh and said: "Odile, now I know how to get you to marry me. If you don't, I will kill the Prince, and you will watch him die."

"Father, you do not have to kill Zigfried. He has already promised to marry me. He cannot break such a promise."

"Neither of you has a heart. How can you ever expect to be happy if you know that someone does not love you? But you will see. Love is stronger than spells. You will never succeed in getting what you want."

At this,they saw Zigfried coming towards the castle on his horse.

"We shall see which is stronger, love or hate!"

The wizard made a wall of fire appear in front of Zigfried.

Zigfried could only think of Odile.

He rode right through the fire without getting hurt.

Odile said triumphantly: "You see.I am right."

As she ran from the wizard, he tried to block her way by making the doors close in front of her.

But Odile just ran faster and escaped through each one.

The Prince saw Odile on the steps going up to the tower.

He took her in his arms.

"Odile, I will never let you leave me again. Say that you will stay with me forever."

"I will, I will! I love you Zigfried!"

The wizard appeared at the top of the steps.

Odet was behind him.

"You will not escape death this time, Zigfried."

The Prince took out his sword.

Odile tried to stop him.

"Do not fight him, Zigfried. If he kills you, I will lose everyone I've ever loved."

"You are right Odile. Zigfried is only a boy. He is no match for me. Now, come back to your room, and let this little boy go home to his mother."

"Rocford, your words will not discourage me. I would kill you now, but I will give you one last chance to live. Let us leave in peace and never come near Odile again."

"You really are a little boy if you think that you can harm me."

Rocford raised his hand, and Odile flew through the air to where Odet stood.

Zigfried ran at Rocford and tried to stab him with his sword.

Rocford put his hand up.

The sword touched it and turned into water.

Without a sword, Zigfried attacked the wizard.

Rocford threw Zigfried down the steps.

He picked up a stick and turned it into a sword.

He pointed it at Zigfried's heart as he lay on the ground.

"Rocford! Don't!"

"Say you will marry me Odile, and I will let him live. "

"Don't do it Odile! Don't make yourself more unhappy just for me!"

The wizard prodded Zigfried with the sword.

"And you have promised to marry me, Zigfried. You said you would always love me."

"I said that because I thought you were Odile. I would never marry you. I would rather die."

Zigfried took the wizard's sword and pushed it deep into his own heart.

"Zigfried, no!"

Something strange began to happen.

The castle began to shake.

Large stones fell from the ceiling, and Rocford and Odet were killed.

Odile ran to Zigfried.

She took the sword out of his heart and pulled his body out of the castle, before it fell to the ground.

第九章：火

罗福德、奥德和奥迪尔飞上了城堡的塔楼。
他们变回了人。
奥迪尔大声地哭着。
巫师只是邪恶地笑了笑，说：“奥迪尔，现在我知道怎么让你嫁给我了。如果你不这样做，我就杀了王子，你就看着他死去。”
“爸爸，你不必杀齐格弗里德。他已经答应娶我了。他不能违背这样的诺言。”
“你们两个都没有心。如果你知道有人不爱你，你怎么能期望幸福呢？但你会看到的。爱比咒语更强大。你永远也得不到你想要的东西。”
这时，他们看见齐格弗里德骑着马向城堡走来。
“让我们看看爱和恨哪个更强大吧！”
巫师让一道火墙出现在齐格弗里德面前。
齐格弗里德只能想到奥迪勒。
他骑马穿过火堆，没有受伤。
奥迪尔得意地说：“你看。我是对的。”
当她从巫师身边跑开的时候，他试图挡住她的去路，把门关上了。
但奥迪尔跑得更快，从每一个洞里逃了出来。
王子看见奥迪尔站在台阶上向塔走去。
他把她抱在怀里。
“奥迪尔，我再也不会让你离开我了。说你会永远和我在一起。”
“我会的，我会的！”我爱你，齐格弗里德!”
男巫出现在台阶顶上。
奥德在他后面。
“你这次逃不掉死亡了，齐格弗里德。”
王子拿出了他的剑。
奥迪尔试图阻止他。
“别跟他打，齐格弗里德。如果他杀了你，我就会失去所有我爱过的人。”
“你说得对，奥迪尔。齐格弗里德只是个孩子。他不是我的对手。现在，回你的房间去吧，让这个小男孩回家找他妈妈。”
“罗福德，你的话不会使我气馁。我现在就会杀了你，但我会给你最后一次活命的机会。让我们平平安安地走吧，永远不要再靠近奥迪尔。”
“如果你认为你能伤害我，那你真是个小男孩。”
罗福德举起了手，奥迪尔就从空中飞到了奥德站着的地方。
齐格弗里德跑向罗福德，试图用剑刺他。
罗福德举起手来。
剑碰到它就变成了水。
没有剑的齐格弗里德攻击了巫师。
罗福德把齐格弗里德扔下了台阶。
他捡起一根棍子，把它变成了一把剑。
他把枪对准躺在地上的齐格弗里德的心脏。
“罗福德!不!”
“说你愿意嫁给我，奥迪尔，我会让他活下去。”
“别这样，奥迪尔！”不要因为我而让自己更不开心！”
巫师用剑捅了刺齐格弗里德。
“你答应过要嫁给我的，齐格弗里德。你说过你会永远爱我。”
“我这么说是因为我以为你是奥迪尔。我永远不会嫁给你。我宁愿去死。”
齐格弗里德拿起巫师的剑，深深刺进自己的心脏。
“齐格弗里德,没有!”
奇怪的事情开始发生了。
城堡开始摇晃。
巨大的石头从天花板上掉了下来，罗克福德和奥德死了。
奥迪尔跑向齐格弗里德。
她从他的心脏里取出剑，把他的身体拉出了城堡，还没等他倒在地上。
