“自由为伍,佳人为伴,还有值得献身的道义。”
“I got freedom. I got a lady. I got a cause I'd die for.”
传记
风流潇洒,魅力无穷,同时也令人难以捉摸的洛,是一位臭名远扬的瓦斯塔亚捣蛋鬼,也是洛特兰部落有史以来最为出色的战舞舞者。在艾欧尼亚高地居民的眼中,“洛”这个名字等同于热闹非凡的节日庆典、热火朝天的狂欢聚会和即兴乱奏的音乐。不过这个精力充沛的江湖艺人早已放弃了旧日的生活,全心全意投入爱人的事业——逆羽,霞的大义。他们一起,为艾欧尼亚的野生魔法谋求自由,让瓦斯塔亚重获与生俱来的权利。
As mercurial as he is charming, Rakan is an infamous vastayan troublemaker and the greatest battle-dancer in Lhotlan tribal history. To the humans of the Ionian highlands, his name had long been synonymous with wild festivals, uncontrollable parties, and anarchic music. But this energetic, traveling showman has left his old life behind, dedicating himself to the cause of his lover, the rebel Xayah. Together, they seek to free Ionia’s wild magic, restoring the vastaya’s birthright.
瓦斯塔亚的洛特兰部族曾经生活在艾欧尼亚东侧岛屿“葵林”。在那片深山老林的古老、神秘边境上,汲取魔法就像呼吸空气一样自然,而且时间也几乎不存在意义。对这些人兽杂合的生物来说,凡人居住的土地都是残酷的沙漠,没有丝毫的魔法滋润。然而几百年来,沙漠越来越大,不断侵蚀着瓦斯塔亚的领地。
The Lhotlan vastaya once lived on the ancient, mystical borders of Ionia’s deep forests, on the eastern island of Qaelin. It was a place where magic was breathed like air, and time had little meaning. To these chimeric creatures, the lands of mortals were an unforgiving desert, virtually devoid of magic—and over the centuries, that desert only grew, encroaching on the vastaya’s territories.
洛出生在部族衰落的时期,但他从未放弃过希望。
Rakan was born into a tribe in decline, yet he never gave up hope.
洛和他的同辈们一样,都看着人类的聚落不断扩张,将艾欧尼亚狂野混乱的魔法蓄积起来,用于保障他们自己的安全。许多部族都派出使节,与人类进行商谈,制定条约,保护瓦斯塔亚繁衍生息所需的魔法能量。然而,他们做出的承诺被一次又一次地打破。
Like his brethren, Rakan watched as human settlements continued to expand, damming the flow of Ionia’s wild, chaotic magic for their own safety. Many tribes sent emissaries to negotiate with them, securing treaties to protect the mystical energy the vastaya needed to thrive. Yet over and over again, these promises were broken.
不再抱有幻想的瓦斯塔亚开始变得越来越孤立,守在仅存的土地上寸土不让。但年轻的洛呼吁另一种不同的道路。这位战舞舞者相信,只要凡人认识到野生魔法的美,就会同意放开束缚,他还夸下海口,要用自己的力量让他们看到。为此,他被同族蔑称为穆鞑袴——同情人类的通敌者。
Disillusioned, most vastaya became increasingly isolationist as they clung to their remaining lands. But young Rakan advocated a different path. The battle-dancer believed that mortals could be convinced to let wild magic run free if they could only appreciate its beauty, and he boasted that he was the one to make them see it. For this, he was labeled mu’takl—distrusted as a human sympathizer, and collaborator.
洛离开了洛特兰部族,决心把他们族人的歌声传遍艾欧尼亚。他是讨人欢心的浪客,任何酒肆和节庆祭典都欢迎他的表演。但多年后他认识到,自己对凡人来说充其量也就是个表演者——无论他跳多少舞唱多少歌,无论他俘获了多少观众,也只是给醉酒狂欢的人提供娱乐而已。
Rakan left the Lhotlan tribe, determined to spread the song of his people across Ionia. He was an entertaining rogue, a welcome performer at any tavern or village carnival, but over the years he realized that was all he was to mortals—no matter how many dances and songs he performed, no matter how much he enthralled the crowds, he merely provided diversion to drunken revelers.
洛开始变得不安,他发现自己没了目标……直到他在翁库沃的丰收祭典上遇见了霞,一个洛特兰的同族。
Rakan grew restless, finding himself without purpose... until he had a chance encounter with Xayah, a fellow Lhotlan, at the harvest festival in Vlonqo.
看着人群中的她,洛唱起了一支老歌,用光鲜的翎羽迷住了整座小镇。虽然过去曾有无数人类和瓦斯塔亚女子为他倾心,然而面前这个紫鸦却似乎不为所动——尽管也不是毫无兴趣。
Seeing her in the crowd, Rakan sang one of his old songs, entrancing the entire town with his gleaming plumage. Though countless human and vastayan women had fallen for him in the past, this violet raven seemed immune to his charms, though not uninterested.
她已经看到了他,却没有尾随追赶?这是个难以解答的迷。
How could she see him and yet choose not to follow him? It was a puzzle with no easy answer.
洛被勾起了兴趣,这位战舞舞者接近了霞,并向她询问自己部族的运势如何。当她告诉他洛特兰部族已经失去了最后一片土地时,洛发出了愤怒的嚎哭。这个举动似乎终于让霞刮目相看了,她安慰他说,还有一线希望:她正在参与到一项更伟大的事业当中,某种反叛,目的是要夺回瓦斯塔亚所失去的一切。不只是为了洛特兰,也是为了所有部族。
Intrigued, the battle-dancer approached Xayah and asked after the welfare of their tribe. When she told him that the Lhotlan had lost the last of their lands, Rakan howled with rage. This finally seemed to impress Xayah, and she assured him that there was still hope: she was part of something greater, a rebellion of sorts, to take back what the vastaya had lost. Not just for the Lhotlan, but for all tribes.
洛如醍醐灌顶。他面前摆着一个拯救族人的机会,一个他愿意为之献身的大业。她请求加入霞的行列,她同意了——前提是他不要成为累赘。
Rakan was thunderstruck. Here was a chance for him to redeem his people, a cause he was willing to die for. He implored Xayah to let him accompany her, and she agreed—as long as he carried his weight.
后来霞很快就看到,洛的舞蹈在战场上和在舞台上一样厉害。他自称为洛特兰史上最伟大的战舞舞者,而这一点无人能反驳。他的盛大登场和缭乱杂耍让敌人眼花心迷,让霞能够用锋利的羽刃将敌人击倒。无论是多么危险的处境,他们都能和谐默契地共同应对。
And, as Xayah would soon learn, Rakan’s dances were as impressive in battle as they were on stage. He called himself the greatest battle-dancer in Lhotlan history, a boast that none could refute. His grand entrances and dazzling acrobatics distracted and befuddled enemies, before Xayah felled them with her razor-sharp quills. In any dangerous situation, they fought together with uncanny harmony.
在他们的旅途中,洛迷上了霞的处世方式。她似乎总是准备充分、处乱不惊、专心致志……而他则总是心不在焉、和蔼友善、嬉皮笑脸。虽然洛总是忘记他们精心制定的计划,但却能通过察言观色做出弥补,用魅力与洞察劝服旁人。两位瓦斯塔亚大相径庭,然而彼此的优缺点却又弥合互补,实现了许多丰功伟绩。
During their travels, Rakan became fascinated by how Xayah interacted with the world. She seemed always prepared, aloof, and focused... whereas he was absent-minded, affable, and lacking seriousness. Although Rakan would often forget her carefully laid plans, he made up for it with his ability to read the emotions of others, using charisma and insight to persuade them. The two vastaya were so different, and yet they achieved great feats, each one’s strengths complementing the other’s weaknesses.
很快,洛就再也离不开霞,显然她也对他怀着同样的感情。这对乱世鸳鸯在一场酒楼斗殴中彼此誓定终身。
Soon enough, Rakan couldn’t imagine life without Xayah, and it was clear that she felt the same for him. The pair pledged themselves to each other in the midst of a raucous tavern brawl.
然而他们也不是在所有事上都观点一致。在她眼中,世界黑白分明,凡人永远都是敌人;而他则拥有更多同情,并且相信有一些凡人并非不可救药。虽然他们之间存在种种差异,但是洛十分确信,他和霞的爱能够载着他们闯过前路的风暴。
Yet they did not see eye to eye in all things. Where she viewed the world as black and white, with mortals always the enemy, he had more compassion, and believed some of them were redeemable. Despite this difference, Rakan was certain that his and Xayah’s love for each other would bear them through the storms that lay ahead.
通过霞,洛找到了自己的目标。在伴侣的唯一驱策之下,霞的圣战也成为了洛的圣战,他们将一起为瓦斯塔亚夺回初生之土。
Through Xayah, Rakan has found purpose. Inspired by his partner’s singular drive, Rakan has made her crusade his own, and together they will fight to reclaim the First Lands for the vastaya.
