Chapitre 163: The Promise That Could Not Be Kept
[insert text: The series of tragedies... / The unending curse... // With this sword...!!]

2
Ashura: You made me a promise... / Fai. // That you would eliminate anyone who brought harm to this country's people. // No matter who that may be.
Flashback!Ashura: I let the citizens slip through my fingers... // They escaped to other countries.

3
Ashura: My magical power becomes stronger the more people it kills. // It will probably be stronger than yours soon enough... / Fai.
Fai: Why...?
Ashura: Why indeed...? // But I have known it for a long time. / That things would someday turn out this way.

4
Fai: And is that why you saw fit to take me in?! // So that when you ended up like this... // ...I would kill you?!

5
Ashura: That is the Spear I taught you, isn't it. // A spell used to send people to sleep.

6
Ashura: Magic does not last forever. It will only be a matter of time before I awaken once more. // You are only delaying the moment when you will have to keep our promise.
Fai: ...I cannot do it!

7
Ashura: The one thing that always hurts you more than anything else... / ...is that kindness of yours. // Yuui.

Fai: For someone like me who is unable to use healing magic... // ...it is impossible to save you. // I can only put you to sleep, and pray...

10
Flashback!Fai: I hope... // That you at least have pleasant dreams.
Fai: ...I can't do it. // You... brought me and Fai... // ...out of that valley.

11
Fai: No matter what... / ...no matter what reasons you may have had... // You were still the first person... / ...who ever showed kindness to the two of us. // That's why... I can't kill you.
Ashura: Well, then...

12
People: !!

13
Ashura: I shall continue.

14
Fai: SAKURA-CHAN!
Syaoran: Sakura...
Ashura: How very mysterious... / There is no soul within this body, and yet it lives on.

15
Ashura: Perhaps it is the power of that feather that you gave human form... // Although it seems that she has already returned to this body. // Yes... / That girl... // You told me that you had created her in the image of your mother, did you not? / Fai.

16
Ashura: ...To you, this girl... / ...Her existence is very precious to you.
Fai: ...Your Majesty...?

17
Fai: !!

18
Fai: Syaoran-kun! / Mokona!
Kurogane: !

19
Fai: STOP!!

EDIT: Changed a line on page 11. Frankly, considering how much I was rushing, I'm shocked that was the only mistake I made.
