Speaker 2: M hm hmmm.
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, guys, but I'm gonna go
find a bottle of something. I'll see the boating.
Speaker 4: The night ball.
Speaker 2: Bye, I'm I'm off too.
Speaker 4: I think get some some sleep please, okay mm hmm.
I'm going to go and try to find a quiet
place somewhere.
Speaker 1: It's not too hard. It seems like this is an
early to bed, early to rise community of people here.
So I imagine the rooms that have been prepared for
you seem to be maybe some guest rooms of the
Sages really, so they're nothing impressive or grandiose. They're just
little guest rooms. Basically, the beds are probably too small,
you know. The spaces are kind of like open plan.
There's not like a lot of privacy or anything, but
they're they're humble and like cozy and comfortable, but nothing
over the impressive. The view is pretty beautiful though, the
night view looking out you can see the waterfalls, and
it's fairly peaceful. There's probably faint light of like fireflies
here and there moving about in some of the trees.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna try and make myself comfortable and from there,
I'm just going to take a deep breath, and I'd
like to try and commune with Judakara in particular. I
feel as though if neglected my longest partner in.
Speaker 1: All of this, how would you like to do that?
Speaker 4: Well, similar to how I tune into that just internal
arcane and energy that I have my connection with the
spirits in particular, I'm going to go ahead and I'll
just take my staff and while I'm sitting down, I'll
lay it down on the floor in front of me.
I'll wave my hand over it and it'll begin to
do that familiar thing where it separates and the crystal
will float up above me and I'll just call out
gently due to Kara. Would that be a organism ritual, Yes.
Speaker 2: It would.
Speaker 1: Okay, this will be a I think for our purposes,
this is probably going to be a.
Speaker 2: Just a.
Speaker 5: I think.
Speaker 1: Probably medium, I'm thinking, and then just individual obviously.
Speaker 4: All right, that is a sixteen success. Yeah, and I'll
take away the thirty mona.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a piece that washes over you. It's sort
of a familiar feeling given all that you've learned today.
It's a bit of a contrast. Maybe how you're mind
was a bit overwhelmed just shortly shortly before this, but
when you again the ritual, find a sort of peace
familiarity there, and the scenery around you lends itself well
to this, and it's a stark contrast. So I think
it's a I imagine that you're very aware of the
difference in your moods shifting, and I think that the
fireflies maybe get a little bit brighter to you, and
even in the darkness of the night, you can see
the reflections of the water and the moonlight cascading across
various buildings, and such a little bit more than you
would I was wondering when you would speak with me.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that I've been so busy. I've been a
terrible companion.
Speaker 1: Terrible is not the right word, but I appreciate the gesture.
Speaker 4: Nonetheless, I wanted to ask you something or a couple
of some things, if that's okay. I feel as though
I know you, but I don't. At the same time,
You've been with me the longest out of anyone, and
yet I don't know your story. Would that be okay?
Speaker 1: What knowledge do you seek? You speak of my story,
but the story is being written every day.
Speaker 4: Firstly, Kah, I suppose when communing with as Rak he
made mention of you. Is there's a picture?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Why do you speak of him? Mhm?
Speaker 4: I simply wanted to, I suppose, find out why there
is a tension there. What happened?
Speaker 1: We were enemies long ago for much of Regalia was
as it is today.
Speaker 4: Really, yes, enemies in nature prior to being bound or yes,
you see, if it is too much, I don't mean
to pry. I simply wish to to hear your side
of things.
Speaker 1: You remember when we were first bound?
Speaker 4: Yes, but my memories are as you know. I mean,
you're connected to me so deeply, they're a bit overlapping.
I'm going to try to remember not Jens meeting of Judikara,
but isolths in this moment. H m hmm, it's all
so fuzzy. Well, I mean, you know that I have
these two overlapping memories. There's the one where where Gine
met you, but then there's the one where I met you.
Was it in the forest?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: I started to rub at my temples because it's hurting
my head to try to remember these two separate things.
And what about it that you? Is it that you're
you're touching on with your thought? Dakara.
Speaker 1: I am from what is now known as ellen Drath,
near Tempria mm hm, as it is called today. Ostrach
is born of Cyntharis, and much.
Speaker 2: Like Aster as.
Speaker 1: First bonding, he was bound to the founder of Syntharis.
I was once bound to the founder of ellen Drath.
Speaker 4: Oh, I see, weren't they? Weren't they once one nation? Yes?
Do you know what caused such a divide?
Speaker 1: Nothing as simple as one day, nothing that could be
pointed to as a specific catalyst. A lifetime of differing opinions,
yearning for something greater instead of contentment with good things
that we had.
Speaker 4: I see. Well, I am sorry. That's very unfortunate. Juda Kara.
Do you remember who you were before all of that?
Speaker 1: It was a long time ago, by your reckoning, But
I suppose bits and pieces. It was my suggestion that
the parties involved, that we sacrifice and seats and thoris.
It was the only way that I could see any
sort of peace.
Speaker 4: That is a great burden.
Speaker 1: It was a thought, a suggestion.
Speaker 6: M hm.
Speaker 1: It was not my decision. The burden lies on the people.
Speaker 4: Right I see to the Kara, we have a lot
of very powerful and scary enemies in front of us. Indeed,
it's going to be a struggle. You've been alongside me
this entire time. Are you willing to still help?
Speaker 1: I must help. It is the only way forward. May
I ask you a question anything?
Speaker 4: Of course?
Speaker 2: What do you.
Speaker 1: Remember of the time before you awoke in the ember Stone?
Speaker 4: I remember a red tunnel, and before that, I remember
being at this event, I think, or was I at
the front line of the war. The event there was
some there was an event where Jean was pulled into
that portal, and then the red and then the Youmberstone.
I don't remember anything of my time here apparently I
was on the front lines and then I disappeared for
ten years? You were with me? Were you not? What
do you remember? Do you remember anything from that time period?
Do you do you remember anything? Tim Cross was was
experimenting on people that couldn't have been it right? What happened?
Speaker 7: Where were we?
Speaker 1: You have a complicated nature? How do you see yourself now? I?
Speaker 4: I don't know. It's been a lot. I there's the
version of me that's Gene, that's trying to form any
sense of logic around the situation. But our voices getting
quieter every day.
Speaker 1: This all just.
Speaker 4: It feels so real. How could I deny it? And
even if yes, even if the logical side of things
from you know, if I were to try to break
it down using the Gene side of my brain, it
all just feels so real. The people here feel so real.
Speaker 1: They are real. You are real?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: And if that ritual, if that ritual is how we
got here, I feel like a monster.
Speaker 1: How do you see yourself? Are you iris? Rius List.
Speaker 5: Jean?
Speaker 4: I I don't know. I'm confused, hm, But here I
feel like I need to be is is lith.
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: If I don't assume this potential body that I might
have stolen. I that I'll be doing her an injustice,
and that we'll all fail, and we can't fail. I
think every day I'm seeing myself more ya Saith.
Speaker 9: And who do you want to be? I?
Speaker 4: I think back to all that my friends and I
have done here, and then I think back to the
fragments that I can remember because I'm so far deep
in this, And I remember my brother, and then I
remember my father who left us, and then I remember
my mother. And I don't know how much which time
has passed there, but I knew that I maybe didn't
have much left with her. This all is a wonderful escape.
So I genuinely don't know which version I want to be,
but I know that there are people that need me
in both places. But in that other place, I'm powerless,
and here I have so much of it, and I
get stronger by the day. So maybe for now, maybe
I need to be at is Lit. It's like you said,
maybe I need to be as if you how you
need to help?
Speaker 1: Great sacrifice was thrust upon you. Yes, I do not
remember much over those ten years, but I can tell
you it ristles during the battle the last point that
you remember before the embers done, Risles died.
Speaker 4: What what do you mean? Oh?
Speaker 1: The battle was fierce. Theristleth used all of her mind.
Speaker 2: To cast.
Speaker 1: Banishment spell.
Speaker 2: On me.
Speaker 4: What why would she banish you?
Speaker 2: Why would you know?
Speaker 1: When a dismissed Marcanna leaves, they summoned fourth great power.
See a great burst of light lit up field battle?
But it was the last that she had.
Speaker 4: So am I a mockery then, of your friend?
Speaker 1: I have not once thought such a thing. M You
are simply different. You are iris, You are a a
slith gene. I do not know what happened to encase
you in this amber stone, but I think that there
is more that we have not yet learned.
Speaker 4: Right, we'll need more allies. Are you all right with
lending me your power to try to find more?
Speaker 1: I have always been You may not be the same
as a rustlet, but that does not stop you. You
have kept pushing forward an impossible task set before you.
Too much has been asked, and yet you still put
one foot in front of the other. If we are
to save Regalia, there will be more sacrifices that need
to be made, and I believe you and your friends
can make them.
Speaker 4: Thank you to Da Kara. Let you rest now.
Speaker 1: You must rest as well.
Speaker 4: Indeed, good night, and I'll wave my hand towards the crystal,
dismissing the community, the communication between us. And during this conversation,
I've been picking at my nails and my fingernails. The
nail beds are they're bleeding. I've been so nervously picking,
and I just look out at the nighttime in front
of me with this beautiful view until I pass out.
Speaker 1: The night falls and passes. Eventually we find our group
waking up. Tenders. You can probably wake up to the
sound of communication scroll from the Dragon Empress.
Speaker 2: When I'm up on the table that I was on,
I kind of look at it and estrange. There's a
bunch of symbols and seals and ruins drawn all over it,
and I hear it a noise go off, put off
the scroll and scroll it.
Speaker 1: Moon was spotted in Tessa, the city of Echoes Shade.
She reportedly fought a kaijuice single handedly and defeated it.
She apparently stole a sky vehicle during the night. We
do not know where she is.
Speaker 2: All right, back and anything, How would you like for
me to handle this situation. We found tons of information.
Should we debot immediately? We are not currently ready. I
have not perfected the spell. And then I'll relay not
everything that we found, but I'll relay where we are,
who we spoke to, and where we're going.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I think a response from the Dragon Empress
is something along the lines of I need to confer
with my people. We must be prepared in case Moon
invades any other major cities. I'm going to prepare all
of our defensive forces and putting, and I'm going to
put everyone on high alert. I will notify the rest
of Regalia to this development.
Speaker 2: I'll sign off contact Brahm and I'll list my parents' names. Yeah,
we should be on our way soon. And then I'll
put in can she read synthon?
Speaker 5: You don't know?
Speaker 2: I'll write in tythan, I will bring the moon down
and I spell Moon moo, and.
Speaker 1: Eventually in the synthorn you will receive a response. We
will do whatever we can to assist.
Speaker 2: And if that, I'll sit back. I'll roll the scroll
up and then I'll look down at the symbols and
I'll wave my hand over them, and dark tendrils will
shoot from my hand record the symbols and to clear
the evidence off the table. I'll stand up and I
was just myself. Now I'll go look in the mirror.
I'm assuming they're mirrors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's probably great like some kind of glass, probably
some really rudimental ones.
Speaker 2: Then I'll stare myself in the eyes. Yeah, I'll turn
away swiftly and walk out the door and make my
way to the office. And we were in the night before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can see that the the sages are going
about there day to day much like you are. And
uh yeah, I imagine uh bow and a wristless are
probably stirring as well.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go check with Lyrah's her name right to
see if she's had any information on my mother, Oh,
my family name rather.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you probably looked for Lyrah and say, yes, Hi,
I gathered a few more books before bed. We still
have a lot of information to go through, but as
you requested, I've gotten the books together. We've gotten some
information in regards to your family, as well as some
more books on the history of heroes, and of course
we're gathering information about our condoms and any references to
Tim Cross that we can find.
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you. I won't take any of the other books.
I just take my family name and then I'll help
Larra sit them down wherever. Then I'll just sit back
and ponder before opening the book.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bo Ristless, I think you just kind of see
Enders go about his business right, Like there's not really
a lot of greeting or anything in the morning, there's potentially,
like I mean, at least I'm getting this. I don't
know about all of you, but like I'm getting like
an overwhelmed feeling, like like every it's just like a
lot you're getting kind of weighed down by everything, And
I think everybody's kind of a bit more serious today.
Speaker 4: For sure.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I read that, but I kind
of still go about my own business unless someone talks
to me, kind of just moving around the place. Looks
like I'm looking for something breakfast probably.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think.
Speaker 4: Looking between the books and having had all of this
information thrown at me at once, I haven't had a
good breakfast either, so I'll probably catch up to bo.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: Do you want to try to find some breakfast together?
You can bring something back for Enders. Boh, why does
nobody hear me? Oh, I'm going to go ahead and
poke you.
Speaker 3: I think if you go when you poke me, initially
the membrane kind of just envelops your hand, and then
there's a bit of a hiss as your hand starts
to get eaten, and then all of us think ooh,
and I snap back around you, and you go, Hi,
what's up?
Speaker 5: What do you want?
Speaker 4: Are you okay? You're very jump.
Speaker 3: You startled with me.
Speaker 7: You came from nowhere, I said, I said hi a
couple of times.
Speaker 4: God, No, well apparently not.
Speaker 3: What did you want?
Speaker 4: Did you want to get breakfast together?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 3: Was there like a restaurant here, a brunch place?
Speaker 4: Hmm? Asking around? Do we find any sort of place
we might be able to get a couple of bites
of grub?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's probably some real like simple kind of food.
I imagine that there's some They probably have like fruit
and some eggs and some fish, and maybe some like
some nuts and some mushrooms and things about.
Speaker 4: Great. I'll I'll probably get a plate for myself, and
I'd like to get food for enders as well. Pack
it up carefully.
Speaker 3: Do they have tapas?
Speaker 1: Probably not.
Speaker 3: I'd like to spend the fabulu that point so they
can save tapas?
Speaker 5: Okay, fair enough, what's what kind of.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what a tapas is?
Speaker 2: But what what what?
Speaker 3: What is this?
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 4: It says tapas on the on the card here.
Speaker 3: Ah, okay, just kind of seems like nuts to me.
Speaker 7: Mmmm.
Speaker 3: Well, and there's do you want some tapas stories one?
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna bring him food. It's fine, I'll get
him a little bit of everything, all right? What were
you up to? By the way, I know we were
really absorbed in the literature we were reading.
Speaker 3: M hmm, not much. How long we've been here for
like a day?
Speaker 4: Oh, but it feels like a lifetime.
Speaker 3: Really, it feels like an afternoon. It's about two days now,
maybe a couple hours really in a nap.
Speaker 4: Really, there's times passing that that quickly for you?
Speaker 3: Huh quickly?
Speaker 1: Not really? Mhm.
Speaker 4: Was there anything you wanted to read about read?
Speaker 3: Do they have any comics?
Speaker 4: I imagine they had some picture.
Speaker 3: Books, but it's not really quite the same, right picture books?
Speaker 4: M yes, of course, Well.
Speaker 2: Can't see I do.
Speaker 3: I mean, apart from the whole fact that you know,
the world's gonna you know, get flushed down in a
giant like red drain. Did we learn anything about that?
About cycles? You know, like, is this a cycle? Does
this just normally happen? Is it like ice ages? Or
is this new? Or are we going to die? Does
it matter if we die?
Speaker 1: Did you?
Speaker 3: Did you ask about that?
Speaker 4: Ah? Ah? I should have asked you to Caara if
she knew anything?
Speaker 2: She did?
Speaker 3: Kara, you never speak to her?
Speaker 4: Well, I spoke to her last night.
Speaker 7: Doubt anyway, I'm serious.
Speaker 3: And what did you talk about?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 4: I talked about her and her story a little bit.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: She and Ostroc were on opposing sides. Oh, okay, she
was a Fellen dress.
Speaker 3: Are they like inside you right now? Not talking to
each other? How does that work?
Speaker 4: That's a good question. I feel like it's just they
are connected with me. Do you remember the motes from
that ritual a while back in Coga?
Speaker 3: You'll have to be more specific. We've had many, oh
in cogah.
Speaker 4: Huh no, the little fragments of soul.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's sort of like.
Speaker 4: That, I suppose, except I've got all of them right right.
Their souls are kind of bound to me and mine
to them.
Speaker 1: Hmmm.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't feel weird. They're not that kind of
sentient and like they're going, dude, don't tell us to
rack this, and dude, don't tell Judakar if she smells.
It's just kind of just they're just there. Well there.
Speaker 4: I think that despite disliking one another for Judikara and Ostroc,
at least mm hmmm, they're willing to put that a
side for now.
Speaker 3: That's big of them.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: I've always wondered what that's like, you know, to have, like,
just is you ever play Pokemon anyway? Never mind?
Speaker 4: Oh, we had a lot of Pokemon in the like
the manga in the library.
Speaker 3: Huh okay, Well, I mean I guess it's kind of
different though, because you know, Ash never put the poke
balls inside him anyway.
Speaker 4: I think, Uh, well, I guess that's fair. I mean,
I suppose I have the poke balls inside me, right,
except their whole full people and not creatures that I
just go around capturing. It's kind of a soul contract.
It's really it's actually quite but it's actually it's actually
kind of badass.
Speaker 3: Really, huh, I think. And this tap Us is getting cold.
Speaker 4: Right, yes, no more talk of Pokemon m.
Speaker 3: M getting jealous for she has all the type holes
now she has freaking poke boles inside of lot poke bulls.
Speaker 4: What was that?
Speaker 7: Mmm?
Speaker 3: Oh nothing? Just uh talking about nothing?
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I mumble to myself sometimes too.
Speaker 3: Also, now don't you have you have souls inside?
Speaker 6: Do you?
Speaker 3: Whenever you do that? Just mumbling to them.
Speaker 4: Huh, I didn't think of that. It's like having imaginary friends,
except they're not imaginary.
Speaker 3: They just imaginary.
Speaker 4: Let's go give Andrews his food. I also have some
more things to talk about. I think it's if all
of us are together.
Speaker 3: And does and does we got tap us? But it's
just nuts.
Speaker 2: I'm currently looking for the Grand Scribe. I would assume
they're in their office.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Lyra, by the way, looked like hell like yeah,
liked life, did not sleep, you know, like maybe got
a couple hours of sleep, absolutely destroyed.
Speaker 1: But when you head back to the office, it's all
cleaned up. Everything's all cleaned up and organized. So there
are piles. They're basically books on carts that have kind
of been worked out and organized by the cart and
like just kind of keeping the materials together and stuff
like that. The Grand Scribe would be in the office
as you arrive.
Speaker 2: As as the two campaigns have been getting a bite,
I would have been speaking, So I guess this could
happen at the same time. I will walk to the
grand Scribe and a slight bow and hey, I come in.
Speaker 1: Yes, of course good.
Speaker 2: I shut the door and I walk up to them,
and I'll tell her first of all, lyra big help,
that's great.
Speaker 1: Yes, she is quite wonderful.
Speaker 2: Yes, I would like to see her keep doing her
job and you to keep manning this wonderful place. What
kind of differences do you have in line that she
ack knowledge is here? Everything about the history of Regard
is supposedly here. Do you have strong defenses?
Speaker 1: I suppose by them definition?
Speaker 2: What type of differences do you have?
Speaker 1: The bullster, you imagine that we would have some sort
of grand army or great walls or some sort of
flying monster to protect us.
Speaker 2: No, no magic marrier, something strong to keep something equally
stronger out.
Speaker 1: There is powerful illusion magic. And as you said, a
tree of knowledge itself provides a barrier to this place.
Speaker 2: You need to bolster it. I look around. I would
assume there's a map on the wall at least right.
Speaker 1: I would probably not. Yeah, I imagine that the walls,
the walls have pictures of the previous grand scribes that
we established previously. And I imagine that there's probably just
a lot of lighting, that magical lighting in here, taking
up a fair amount of space as well, So there's
not really like a great spot for a map. What
I will say is maybe it is. Maybe there's one
like on a desk.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, because I was going to draw one at all. Right,
as far as the Tessa away from here, and I'll
go through and try to do the math a skycar
from a testa that technology that they have there, I'm
unfamiliar with it, but so smart. Yes, I would have
slower than airship and small vehicles not meant for traveling
that way. When I'm I'm guessing one is coming this way,
and I'm at to that is the Valkyrie.
Speaker 1: Coming here?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Why, I do not know.
Speaker 2: Destruction? Probably they destroy things in their wake. Apparently I'm
not ready enough. I thought I had time. I don't
want this place to go down, So I'm going to
gather the companions. I would assume if they're coming here,
they have no other reason but us.
Speaker 1: How does she know where you are?
Speaker 2: That is what I want to find out. Either someone
inside of my group is a relaying information or someone
here is relaying information who I don't think it's Lyra
yes or known as the Savior is what people call them,
but they're changed different. Look, we have to both the
defenses here. I have not told my comrade Chatter because
I've never chanced to. But and I'll lean in the
Dragon Empress. It's in full support of helping with defenses.
But we need to get ahead of it, or we
need to get ahead of it fast. If we leave here,
this place can probably be avoided. If she is indeed
looking for us, whatever intel she's getting from whomever, rob
relay that we are leaving place that has strong on
this side of the world, that has a very strong militia.
It's my home and I have to get there, and
I have to get there fast. I'm going to do
a group study on those in my party and see
if there's any loose ends. The only one I can
think of is Rue. She has been gone and she's
never been with the plan to protect Regalia. She doesn't
see what I see. She won't do what needs to
be done if it needs to be done, and I'm
afraid that she may have defected.
Speaker 5: Hell, this is troubling.
Speaker 2: There's all the speculations, but it's too convenient, right. She
hasn't mids scene in days.
Speaker 1: I suppose that it's possible, but I know where rule is.
Speaker 2: Where she.
Speaker 1: Needed time.
Speaker 2: Time. I believe.
Speaker 1: Some of the information that you have found was extremely
troubling to her. She's having difficulty coming to grips.
Speaker 2: A is it all? I understand what you're saying. But
ru is also very good at her job, and what
is her job? Charming puts on a ruse. Yes, what
she wants, does what she can to protect others as
she's close to and right now, the only person that
she is really close to, it's a Valkyrie. Now, in
good faith, let's say that she was bothered by whatever
information we found. She is with you. She is not
with the Valkyrie.
Speaker 1: I stayed with you and what you've told me, she
had every opportunity to join.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying she's in league with the Valkyrie. The
people do take time to think and then probably, well,
you know, a person that tries to do right by
everyone and everything, no matter what the consequences are, end
up being well a bigger problem than the actual problem.
I will not be the one to question her. I
believe the others already suspect me acting rude to be here. Yeah,
in the way they don't trust me with good reason.
Speaker 1: What you've told me. You've been through a lot yourself,
all of you have.
Speaker 2: What have I told you?
Speaker 1: Well, just out of character, you did kind of recount
everything to the grand scribe when you.
Speaker 4: First came in putting the ritual.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, kind of all the stuff that happened
you gave You gave her the history basically since you
arrived in Rigalia. Don't remember what you kept out, but
I know that you did a kind of info dump
of your own granscribe.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's so base off of what I told you.
What do you think what's going through that brilliant mind
of yours.
Speaker 1: I've written many books here. I've written the accounts of
many people heroes, and the books that we have are innumerable,
a cover of wide range of subjects.
Speaker 2: Here's some ap.
Speaker 8: And the.
Speaker 1: Common factor in all of these accountings is that perspective
is important. The perspective that everyone has alters their realities.
You have seen things one way, you have arrived here.
You have experienced things differently than your friends have these
perspectives that each.
Speaker 2: Of you has.
Speaker 1: Alters your future actions. For example, your friend e Ryslith,
she is from Ellendrath. And when you arrived here and
you emerged from this amber stone, you saw the world
through new eyes. You experienced one of your friends whom
you hadn't seen for according to your perspective, a few minutes.
But moon had been loaned for ten years and seen
you for ten years. Your friend Bou woke into a
from what you have told me, a different body, and you.
Speaker 5: Died.
Speaker 1: Your friends went to this in between and they brought
part of you back.
Speaker 2: I'll take a book out and put it on the table.
Speaker 1: Each of these perspectives leads to a different reality. Your
existence has been.
Speaker 2: Fractured. Yes, I don't know. This is the book on
my family name. I am inder Ally the rosk Everally.
Speaker 1: What are you hoping to find in there?
Speaker 2: The truth about what they speak of? This other version
of me that is not me? Who are you in
the rally? The rosk ever Ali?
Speaker 1: And what do you hope to find in there? You
say the truth about what.
Speaker 2: My family name I need to know. I want to
know more about my mother, this family name. It's back
quite far. I wanted to open it in front of you,
not the others.
Speaker 4: Hmm.
Speaker 2: But I want you to open it if you don't mind,
and read it to me. I don't. I think I
can bear the weight.
Speaker 1: Would you like to start at the beginning? Yeah, very well,
transcribe quill Root begins to read to you. Things start
specifically with the draw family name, and it goes back
to probably ten or eleven generations. Elves here aren't like
Tolkien elves. They don't live for like thousands of years.
They live for maybe about on the on the longer
end of things, about one hundred and fifty to one
hundred and seventy five years. Your mother was the one
from brom right.
Speaker 2: No fathers from the fathers from.
Speaker 1: The I'm sorry your mother IVERRALI sorry, I got them backwards.
The Ira family named the sorry the It would go
back about ten or eleven generations, and I think you
kind of see what you hear, kind of a little
bit about each generation, and it's about what you would
expect you hear about different people, and you know the
thing that kind of happens with family lines and a
lot of families where a parent versus a child there's
usually some form of rebellion, but like every other generation
sort of seems a little bit more similar to each other.
Speaker 2: The uh.
Speaker 1: The first recorded ever Ralei almost sounds like your mother.
It almost sounds like the same person. They lived a
life studying various alchemy and trying to learn more about
the world. You can see that Syntharis was very different
back then. It's not as technical technologically advanced as it
is now. A lot of a lot of it back
then was resource gathering and really brilliant ideas, and that
people were looking for solutions to a lot of common problems.
How do we supply people with food? How do we
supply people with healthcare? How do we supply people with knowledge?
How do we supply people with heat and the cold
cold in the heat, and just every kind of other
thing that you can expect. And your great Greg Greg
Greger grandmother was one of the people that helped to
establish Murk, the capital city of Cynthuris. She developed basically
the one of the more sustainable ways that they would.
Speaker 2: Gather food.
Speaker 1: Alchemy that was basically used for very important purpose keeping
people fed, and it would probably be the equivalent of
like GMO stuff in our society, sort of changing some
of the nature of some fruits and vegetables to better
grow in the Martian environments of Cyntharis. And you kind
of are guided through this at some point. You'll early
on into this, you'll get you'll hear a knock on
the door. Yes, and it's bow and bristler.
Speaker 4: Is it all ready if we come in? He brought
food for you enders.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, transcribe quill root. Uh nods her head
towards both of you. Hello, good morning. I understand you
had Lyra in quite a hectic state yesterday.
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, Lira's been wonderful. Oh, they've been incredibly hopeful.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. We just had a lot to talk
about and learn about.
Speaker 1: Suppose well, his important work. So are you looking to
continue your studies today?
Speaker 2: No, we have to leave.
Speaker 4: What I still have to find the time that's here,
we'll come.
Speaker 2: We have to talk about something grand scop. Thank you
that you come from a good line. But good.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll let you all talk for a while. You
can have the office.
Speaker 2: Before you go. Yes, extreme measures, if extreme measures has
to be taken to destroy one thing so that many
can flourish. What's the chances of society and going past that?
Speaker 1: Brugalia has withstood many horrors over its time. I suppose
it simply depends on how severe the problem is and
what kind of a wound it will take. Some wound
scar others can kill.
Speaker 2: Right, thank you for your time. Do you mind if
I borrow this book? Is it possible? If not? Actually,
now that's selfish of me, they ask.
Speaker 1: These books cannot be taken from no Sisia.
Speaker 2: Right sitting me and I'll hold the book to my chest.
Definitely make sure Lera gets it back.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Please take the room?
Speaker 4: Did she granscribe it?
Speaker 1: She begins to step out.
Speaker 4: Why would we need to leave?
Speaker 2: There was a soft look on my face for the
first time in a long time as I look down
at the book. But when I slowly look up at
you both, I have a stern look. My eyes are piercing.
I just found out about my family name. Now far
it stretched back, you know that and Tharis. It's not evil,
not bad.
Speaker 4: I mean nothing suggested it was. It's logical, not.
Speaker 2: Bad at all. None of this squabbling over resources and stuff.
It was all about survival since the earliest days. The
conflicts are natural, can be overcome and can learn from those.
But pure destruction, that's destruction without reason. It's unforgivable.
Speaker 4: What does that have to do with your family?
Speaker 1: Unders I don't want to lose.
Speaker 5: Them right.
Speaker 2: At, Tessa, And you'll see that I've written, I've like
drawn out something that I could place on top of
the map that's on the table. Natastas here, we are here.
I got word this morning that the Valkyrie is on
our way here, traveling.
Speaker 1: Intentionally trying to So the only reason I'm interrupting here
is because I don't know that you know that she's
on her way there, and I thought it was in
the letter. She just said that she left in a
sky vehicle. Didn't give you any information on where she
was going.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, got oh, well've heard that. I'll just
say that vakery is last scene, Tessa. They're in a
stolen sky vehicle, and I am assuming that she's either
going after another Emberstone or someone is giving information and
they may be coming here. I met with the grand
describe to boast the defense is here, if any is possible.
I don't understand why they would come here, but we
haven't seen rue in a while.
Speaker 4: I mean I spoke to her. She was in shambles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when people are in shambles, they do things without thinking.
I'm only having it be placed in front of us
as an option. There also could be someone here feeding information,
But the Dragon Empress has contacted me. Preparations are being
made right. The only way that I can sum up
what we should do is by leaving.
Speaker 4: Well NDErs. We came here for knowledge, We've got some
of that knowledge. We also came here for power. We
should still try to seek out the spirits here. Look,
and I'm going to pull out some of the literature
that I took from my grandmother's house. Look here, this
details teleportation rituals. I might be able to do it.
We can get there quickly if we need to. We
need to finish our work here.
Speaker 2: I don't know the technology of a skycar vehicle. I
don't know if as they move, I would assume it's
not faster than the airship, otherwise they'd be more flying around.
There's also something else that's very disturbing. Apparently the Valkyrie
has taken out of Kaiju.
Speaker 4: Hello, well, oh, do you have something in your mouth?
Are you trying to see something there.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, oh goodness.
Speaker 3: Hello, okay, sorry, I had something whack in my pseudopod.
Just a question.
Speaker 2: Moon can fly.
Speaker 3: So like, why is she in an airplane thing? If
she can fly so right vehicle?
Speaker 2: I don't know that's a good question.
Speaker 3: Kind of sounds wacky. Either she's not as powerful anymore
or as bad information.
Speaker 2: I think, well, since you're like the brighter side of
things with the power of flight in this power of
destruction is fueled by the stone, and if we are
to be hopeful, if the stone is what's fueling that power,
she hasn't consumed any in a while, possibly limiting what
she can do.
Speaker 4: M were printed all out once a monster.
Speaker 2: Hard to turn away from those instincts.
Speaker 3: Also, you're going to steal that book, aren't you? But
I'm thinking, what can't you just copy a page?
Speaker 2: I'm not going to steal this book? Why because it
belongs here?
Speaker 3: When has that changed things before?
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about. Are you getting
be confused with r mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: I kind of like lean into him and extend like
at the malific carnum like a long oblong balloon.
Speaker 2: Everywhere else take your puppet you believe that I actually
stole that. You believe that Professor drusc to actually allow
me to steal something so powerful.
Speaker 3: We tried, wouldn't you.
Speaker 1: The wrong time?
Speaker 3: And he didn't well, and you were disappointed about it,
weren't you? And he did try, and you wouldn't stop
talking about trying to steal books? So why have you
changed the tune all of a sudden, mister blue Eyes.
Speaker 2: It's more like if I wasn't given the opportunity, then
I would seek out opportunity to find what I need right,
And that was being tested and apparently I passed. Acknowledgment
was given when we went inside of the summing ritual,
I mean the teleportation ritual, I should.
Speaker 3: Say regardless, I mean, why don't you copy the page
or but I don't know find it was.
Speaker 2: The book spook is. It's a lot of information here.
Speaker 1: Are you kind of like playing with the book at all?
Speaker 2: I'm holding it?
Speaker 1: I don't know if right right? I don't know if
you're doing like the ADHD thing where.
Speaker 2: You're yeah, I would be doing that, like yeah, I
would be like this. I'm talking if I would like
to come back and read it. I believe if I
have a purpose to come back to finish my studies.
It would bring me, It would bring.
Speaker 1: Me, bring you.
Speaker 2: Joy.
Speaker 3: Are you sure you're okay?
Speaker 2: I don't know. But what I do know is, and
I'll finally realize what I'm doing and I'll place it
on my lap, is that I have some clarity, do I?
I am not this frank person that you bring up.
I'm sorry for your loss, but I believe whatever happened
in this space of time, and whatever rituals that have happened,
we either lose a gain a part of ourselves and
whatever lives we take on, we have to decide whether
we want to keep on honor that life or try
to live in a past. But I will say something
deep down inside of me believes that this frank person
would want us to do what is best for ourselves
and the driving force of where your heart lies.
Speaker 4: I have more information. Oh, I scan both of you
with my eyes, and you'd look. If you'd look at
my hands, you'd notice the nail beds are in rough shape.
I told you that I spoke with you to Kara
last night.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: I took the time to commune with her and I
learned much. Uh. At firstly, I learned of her relationship
with Ostrok, my lion companion, and they were enemies.
Speaker 5: But she is of.
Speaker 4: Ellendrath and he of Cyntharis. But I pride more into
it because due to Kara has been with me since
the start, since the beginning of all of it all.
And what she told me was that.
Speaker 1: I just live.
Speaker 4: The one that she knew previously.
Speaker 3: Died huh.
Speaker 4: No mm hmm.
Speaker 2: In what way.
Speaker 1: During the war in.
Speaker 4: A in a desperate final act.
Speaker 6: H A.
Speaker 4: I it doesn't matter. The one that she remembers used
a banishment by and she died from it.
Speaker 2: Banishments well, lone, who and what Kara? She banished.
Speaker 4: The spouse whenever I summon my econom You know that
energy that when I dismiss them is dispersed, that wave
of of pure light.
Speaker 7: It was that, but worse, I assume, Wait, so who
are you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think the question is less who is she? But like,
does that mean that we all uploaded into what we
are right now?
Speaker 4: That's what I'm wondering. I'm wondering if if this, if
that version of me of id Islith it was was
in case in Numberstone after death when did it happen,
How did it happen? And did it happen to you
all as well? Is this a previous version of you
as well? Unders?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Are you dead too? Times too? Oh well, it's just.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry that sounded so callous to say, But I
just I wonder. There's so much to learn. But I
think the only way that we'll learn.
Speaker 1: It is if.
Speaker 4: Is if we continue searching for it and seeking out
perhaps the arconom here, an arcanum in the place of
great knowledge such as this might be able to help.
It might be able to give us some sort of revelation.
Speaker 2: We have the first search for one. Indeed, I could
take tur days, even you could, especially if your spiritual
tracking is interrupted by the world tree the true knowledge.
I'm sure you felt it.
Speaker 4: I'll check in with Lyra to see if she's found
the literature on any arcanum, particularly in this region, and
if not, I'm going searching.
Speaker 3: Do you think there is one here?
Speaker 4: You made mention when we arrived and I asked about it. Yes,
there are spirits here. It's possible. There's an econom all right.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you have that dowsing rod kind of skill,
don't you. You know, like we found them before just
by like communing. I guess we could try that again.
Speaker 2: Indeed, wasn't that oritual It took too took what it
took two It took someone of high understanding to aid,
at least from what I remember.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean back then, to teach her. But she's
like level ten, right, Like it's as far as being
the best at stuff, she's the best that there ever
has been.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: That's why at the.
Speaker 3: School which I couldn't graduate from, there were jeosepher.
Speaker 2: But this is I'm just all right. You're right on
two counts. We came here to get stronger. We have to.
We have the cellary fat.
Speaker 3: Hold up.
Speaker 8: I know, I know.
Speaker 2: Enders if the Valkyrie decides to take a pit stop
and have a little snack, we're in trouble.
Speaker 4: Oh but also they might be in trouble if she
does anyway, they have no sia. Yes, if if you're right,
or if like one of your ideas is right, then
maybe it might be better if we are here to
try to at least ward her off.
Speaker 2: Warring going off, she took down to guide you by yourself.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 2: If this place is lost, everything is gone.
Speaker 1: There's a an incredibly disruptive sound that sounds like fingernails
on a chalkboard. And it's not fingernails on a chalkboard.
It's chalk on the chalkboard.
Speaker 3: On a fingerboard.
Speaker 1: You see slowly writing begin to appear on the chalkboard,
scratched onto it, and it says, what do you seek
me for?
Speaker 5: Power?
Speaker 1: Clarity, redemption or something unspoken?
Speaker 3: Who's doing that? I'm not doing that? Are you doing that?
Speaker 2: I immediately stand up and gently put the book down,
and then I open my hands. Who are you speaking to?
And I look towards seriously, so sure doing I didn't
do that.
Speaker 4: I'd, if possible, like to do some sort of a
ritual to try to see if I'm able to see
this unseen entity or if perhaps it's some sort of
spirit of some sort.
Speaker 1: HM.
Speaker 4: So I'll take my staff from my back and I'll
PLoP it onto the ground. The vines will go ahead
and spread out across the floor, and the crystal will
raise and light up brightly as I attend to.
Speaker 1: Do this.
Speaker 4: Be a spiritism ritual or our Arcanism.
Speaker 1: You want to, uh, I will take either Arcanism or spiritism,
whichever you prefer. There are different rules. Arcanism. Arganism is willpower, willpower.
Spiritism is insight and willpower. Regardless, this would be a
medium an individual.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll do Arcanism here. Okay, eleven success.
Speaker 1: You begin to see faint outlines of a creature, not
massive in size, not intimidating, but certainly strange. On elk
like shape, begins to reveal itself in sort of golden
and pale purple colors. Its antlers seemed to be scratching
these questions onto the chalkboard.
Speaker 2: I lower my defenses.
Speaker 4: The question was power clarity or what were the other options?
Speaker 5: Power?
Speaker 1: Clarity, redemption or something unspoken.
Speaker 4: Clarity?
Speaker 2: She says that I invert in my eyes.
Speaker 1: Hm scratching on the chalkboard continues. There are no wrong answers,
only knowledge.
Speaker 2: He came here a power and clarity.
Speaker 4: But this is a place of knowledge and the econom.
Speaker 3: What's the unspoken thing?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 4: What is your domain?
Speaker 1: It begins to scratch out more chalk on blackboard sounds,
and it says, I am an arconom of the grim war.
I am omnious, the all knowing.
Speaker 4: Omnius. Is there anything I could do to convince you
to work with us?
Speaker 1: More? Scratching on the blackboard. I am not sure yet.
I must ask you a series of questions to see
if our paths aligne.
Speaker 4: I'll look at the others and I'm not right.
Speaker 2: Right do we have say in this?
Speaker 4: I mean, what is your what are you trying to say?
Speaker 6: Well, I'll flop open my notebook and I'll write a
whole bunch of like possible strategic ways to access this question,
and I'll come up with an answer.
Speaker 2: It takes like five minutes. Well, if they say power
and clarity and knowledge, knowledge is power. Power could be subjective,
and clarity is clarity could lead to unclear waters because
you're too clear on one thing, another thing can become
a question. How many questions do we have? Is this
like a sort of a three wish thing or is
it more of a test when it comes down to
being a test. If it is, then you need to
have the right answer. Right right has a point. But
when it comes down to it, if you say, if
they say there's no right wrong answer, there is always
a wrong answer. The right answer depends on how we
take it.
Speaker 4: I'll just when somebody says there's no wrong answer, is
it not?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes?
Speaker 7: Sorry?
Speaker 2: Well, also and if you think that the the the
the the answer that you shouldn't go with it, maybe
the answer you should in doubt is also a sign
of weakness. So I mean, if knowledge is power and
power is knowledge, then clarity with the right knowledge leads
to power, which then leads to question. Clear.
Speaker 3: Yes, if they said there's no right answer, then doesn't
that mean that the answer is the one on the left.
Speaker 5: You didn't say that, by the way, wrong answer.
Speaker 4: I look too, Omnius, Omnius, We'd be happy to answer
your questions. You said you had more.
Speaker 1: Begins to write a new question. What truth about yourself
do you avoid looking at? And why?
Speaker 4: Mhm?
Speaker 2: So do you understand where I'm coming from.
Speaker 4: That this is an escape?
Speaker 2: Oh no, over my nose once again.
Speaker 4: I avoid it because I feel that I need to
that even though I feel extremely necessary in both places,
it somehow feels more validating to be more powerful and
have control over the situation. And I avoid it because
it is convenient, and I avoid it because I feel
it is what I need to do.
Speaker 1: Begins to write a new question, which is more dangerous
ignorance or certainty?
Speaker 4: It was ignorance for certainty. Those were the two options.
I'll look at the others to see if they have input.
Speaker 2: Clearly, ignorance ignorant people are dangerous than they're right, bo, Well.
Speaker 4: Certainly, But certainty can be dangerous if your certainty is
just a perspective that you have, right if I mean,
it's still technically you being ignorant of it though of
the situation.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: So if you're ignorant, then you are certain about something,
even if you might be wrong. So that's the most
dangerous thing. But if you're certain, then I suppose at
the very least you'll what was the question, what is.
Speaker 4: More dangerous ignorance or certainty? Now, a very dangerous person,
like you said, is someone who is certain but they're
completely wrong. Someone who is ignorant can also be aware
of the fact that they're ignorant and seek out knowledge. Hm, Cuddainly,
I still think perhaps ignorance.
Speaker 2: Yes, fairly, who would want someone around that's ignorant?
Speaker 4: Well, ignorance with the caveat that?
Speaker 2: Well, ah wait, let me help you here. Ignorance is
not the danger. It's the fact of not wanting to
change and learn to be less ignorant. It's a danger.
Speaker 4: Being accepting of the fact that you are ignorant is
a powerful.
Speaker 2: Thing if you're willing to learn.
Speaker 8: Hm.
Speaker 2: Certainly, it's not enough to go off of the question,
but certainty at least leads to one path. We're ignorance
can lead to many.
Speaker 4: I think then my gut perhaps would lean towards certainty.
We're in uncertain times. There are many things we were
ignorant of, but we seek knowledge.
Speaker 3: Nonetheless, are we going to get like our marks or something?
Speaker 2: After this?
Speaker 3: I'm getting a bit anxious.
Speaker 8: You did it? Not me.
Speaker 1: There's like a slight shake to the.
Speaker 5: To the head of this.
Speaker 1: This creature, and as they do so, you can see
like scrolls kind of like unfurling from their antlers, and
as they fall to the ground, they just sort of
fade away.
Speaker 3: I was just about to eat one. Well, okay, well,
because I don't want to fail another exam, because I'm
kind of taught of failing exams. But I guess they
won your answer regardless, Iris, Well, aren't they gone?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, the scrolls faded not there?
Speaker 4: Oh oh oh god, Okay, I thought you meant that
they disappeared.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I.
Speaker 4: Well, I was just like, yeah, fuck you. You can't
have this arconom mm hm. I believe that's certainty is
a bigger danger.
Speaker 1: New question appears if a truth is never learned, does
it still matter?
Speaker 4: I looked at the others, I'd say I think so, Yes,
that's the point of seeking knowledge.
Speaker 2: True.
Speaker 3: Plus, you know, just because you know, if an apple
will never feed on Newton's bonds, then gravity will still
be there because gravity is true didn't have to be found,
you know. Same with like I don't know exoplanets, they
still exist even if what.
Speaker 1: Was a question.
Speaker 5: Or learned?
Speaker 1: Does it still matter?
Speaker 2: One's bo I agree with you that life moves on
no matter what. We understand, no and figure out so
we might learn to prevent today will present a new
problem tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Right, That's exactly what I'm meant to say.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so would you say yes?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 4: I feel as though just because someone doesn't know what
yet doesn't mean we should stop searching.
Speaker 1: True m m.
Speaker 2: But but what well?
Speaker 3: I mean, why would you need to keep searching? Was
that part of the test or the question? It matters,
It just hasn't been found yet regardless, now agreed.
Speaker 4: I'll turn them amuse. I believe that it does. Actually,
a truth unfound is the truth yet to be discovered perpits.
Speaker 1: If you learn the truth of your destiny and disliked it,
would you defy it appears on the board.
Speaker 4: And that's a great question that all depends on the
fact of whether or not destiny can be altered.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I don't know. I'm unbelievable that if it's
my destiny, then I can choose how I wish to embark.
Speaker 4: On a journey, right, how I wish to have it fulfilled,
whether or not it leads to the same place.
Speaker 1: Mm.
Speaker 3: Plus, you know, if your destinies are really embarrassing, you
want to change it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: If your destiny says step left, you decide to step right.
It's just creating a new endpoint, not abandoning an original role.
You just try to alter it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's like yeah, yeah, no, you do.
Speaker 4: There's there's more knowledge to be found if you decide
to step aside from the path that has been thrown
in front of you. That's where the seeking knowledge comes from,
the constant desire to change and to evolve and to
see the limitations of your power and of who you
are as an individual.
Speaker 2: Destiny and faith often gets thrown in the same basket.
I believe they're two totally different things.
Speaker 4: Now, I also suppose it depends on what the destiny is.
For example, if my destiny were simply having to do
with my mortality and I knew nothing else, I would
continue on that path regardless.
Speaker 3: Right, because.
Speaker 4: There's nothing you can do to change that. I just
want to fulfill it in a way that is meaningful
and helpful to others.
Speaker 3: But isn't that what the question is?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: If you could change it, wouldn't you try? Like what
if that book opens up and it says you die
in the middle of the night trying to pick your nose,
wouldn't you just let you know? Like I don't know,
sleep with your hands bound with something to try and change?
Did your fate?
Speaker 4: I'll turn to omnios. I believe I would change it,
or at least attempt to if I can, and if
it doesn't hurt anyone else.
Speaker 1: A new question appears. If knowledge is a river, what
is the ocean?
Speaker 2: M m hmm.
Speaker 3: Information.
Speaker 4: Well, I suppose it depends, right. If knowledge is meant
to be flowing, it has to end up somewhere, then
the water probably ends up right in the ocean.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: So is it not just a fool of knowledge like
you mentioned in terms of there's so many forgotten things
under the sea as well.
Speaker 3: I guess it's like whose knowledge, right, because if it's
your knowledge as a river, doesn't that mean that somebody
else is a river, which means of the ocean, it's
going to be a collection of everybody's knowledge. So, like
the ocean's information or every accumulation.
Speaker 2: Theory is something to be passed on, something to be
taken and used for other purposes that person uses and
then passes it on. It's kind of how we survive
and adapt before, is it?
Speaker 4: Because do you say this because you think that because
the river is flowing, the knowledge is constantly changing and evolving,
But in an ocean it is having and flowing. But
it all kind of is the same. Still is it
just accumulates everything that has been learned.
Speaker 2: I believe we are ignorant to what lies beneath or
what's collected. We only know what we are told. Hence
the river being what we are told is collected in
this pool of As both said, knowledge turns into memories.
If that ocean is forgotten, then so is the knowledge.
Speaker 4: I agree. I mean especially if we're to take into account,
you know, the ancient civilizations that have been holed underwater
by the passing of time, and things of that nature.
It's all memories, all of it.
Speaker 2: We are all someone's or something's code, ever changing, evolving.
Want is forgotten, it's nothing there to define who we are.
Speaker 4: I'll turn to Omnius and I will say, memories.
Speaker 3: And history, history, the river's end, all the knowledge, at least,
all the past knowledge.
Speaker 1: New question appears, you seek power tied to revelation. When
is it righteous to reveal the truth? And when is
it merciful to hide it?
Speaker 2: I look square at this ourcanum, and then I looked down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe it is righteous when pertaining to saving people,
a lot of people. I don't think having knowledge of
the future is a bad thing. Too much of it
can definitely be unhealthy. But for example, the situation that
we are in, you are all knowing Omnios. So perhaps
you are aware then of what's happening with the rift
and the shifting of nature itself, and the impact of
which it's having on our environment and on everyone around us.
And we are in a time of possible great destruction.
I believe it is just when it can save many people. Hm.
Speaker 1: Hm.
Speaker 4: The truth is an important tool. Many of us die
without ever obtaining it.
Speaker 1: I have one last question.
Speaker 2: What question.
Speaker 1: Do you fear being asked?
Speaker 3: What kind of questions that I do? You want to fight?
Speaker 1: You nud.
Speaker 2: Sorry for being asked or answered? Do not fear questions
being asked?
Speaker 4: Is that your meaning? Omius? What We're afraid to have
someone ask of us because of the pressure to answer
what do you mean? Because of the answer that we
might have to give?
Speaker 1: Omnius stares blankly at urisla.
Speaker 2: Strange question. You can alter the answer to fit your benefit,
your needs. At the whole moment, I think the question.
Speaker 4: That I am afraid of most, and I'll stand up straight, yes,
where I feel I truly belong and where I should
be right now? Because the answer is complicated, I don't
There is much to sacrifice on both sides of the scale,
and it is a question I haven't yet answered for myself.
Speaker 1: Omnios turns towards bo stares.
Speaker 3: At both wa whoa whoa, whoa?
Speaker 1: Whoa? Whoa?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: Why are you looking at me? I'm not your your
your pokemon training wote to question? Do the woman to
answer the question.
Speaker 4: I would like you to answer the question yes.
Speaker 3: And the question is what question do I know want
to be asked?
Speaker 4: Are you afraid of being asked?
Speaker 3: That's the question I'm afraid of being asked?
Speaker 2: Oh whoa.
Speaker 4: If we want what on our side? I mean, whouldn't
they trust us all?
Speaker 1: Hm?
Speaker 3: I guess the question I'm afraid of being asked is.
Speaker 2: Do I want to go?
Speaker 3: Backs?
Speaker 1: Clines Their head turns towards Enders.
Speaker 2: Ah. I'm not afraid of any questions. My mind is
set on doing for the greater good, no matter what,
no matter who. At least that's what I tell myself.
Speaker 1: Are you still clutching the book?
Speaker 2: Yep, it's in my lap and I'm like squeezing the
corners together.
Speaker 1: Omnios begins to walk over towards you. Enders tilts its
head down. It's Antlers crying at the book.
Speaker 2: What are you doing? I pulled my hands back because
I don't want to fight with I care for the
book too much.
Speaker 1: It opens the book to the last page.
Speaker 2: What is this?
Speaker 1: Your name listed there? Deceased?
Speaker 2: What is this you put that in there? You did this?
Speaker 1: It stares at you.
Speaker 6: I I didn't die that invader Frank, whatever its name is,
that's the one, not me.
Speaker 2: I'm here right now. It was a mistake for me
to be in that area. It was because he was
idiot enough to do a spell that he wasn't. We
wasn't that they were weren't ready four taught by my
forbidden knowledge?
Speaker 3: Does it say how.
Speaker 2: We looked down.
Speaker 1: Enders? How did you die?
Speaker 2: Does that have a date? Is it any time? Near
the war?
Speaker 1: Full time?
Speaker 4: Ten years ago?
Speaker 1: Ten years ago?
Speaker 2: Talk?
Speaker 5: She told me not to do it.
Speaker 2: It was never to look into her old studies. Three gridmores,
the unknown, the void, and the unapproachable. I figured if
I was to save them, I would I'd be the
one to do it. I come from too really good
blood lines. God's spell. I didn't listen. There was a
voice beyond the void spoke to me, said I wasn't ready.
I knew I was so combined three spells and multicsting.
Is the percentage? Just what?
Speaker 8: That was?
Speaker 2: Two percent? All I needed? Everyone was dying around me.
When I saw that large ar condum disperse, I had
to create the void.
Speaker 1: And care.
Speaker 2: I it took life fibers to do it and saved them.
Put a greater good, and I'll do it again if
I have to. I closed the book, I pushed it away,
and I look at the others.
Speaker 4: My jaw's hanging.
Speaker 2: The light was too bright. Whatever dispersed that day, whatever magic,
it's overly powerful. They couldn't do it. I had to
create the darkness to absorb the light so that they lived.
But it'sok. Not only my life, five ors two of
the men next to me, and another summoner, four lives
for many right.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: Imagine I was dispersed across the lines. The light seared everyone.
Speaker 1: I had to.
Speaker 4: I Edismith was your enemy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my magic was too loud. You the unknown, the void,
and the forbidden. I had to come together at of course,
why am I remembering this now? Your enemies? Then? Does
that make us? Now? Then I stand up and I
sit down. I'm confused. I pulled the book towards me
and push it away. I will.
Speaker 4: Slowly walk up to you, and I will kind of
sit leaning on my knees, looking up at you, next
to you, and I'll reach my hand up Anders.
Speaker 2: This is stupid, Cinthoris Ellen draft all of this. It's
not gonna even matter soon. Do you understand now this
is all insane.
Speaker 4: It is, and the only way that we get past it, yes,
by working together. Lines on a map don't matter.
Speaker 2: Look at the dog, seek light.
Speaker 4: There can't be one without the other.
Speaker 2: And I looked towards the wakon. I know what you
want me to say. Fine, I've been working on a
spell mult casting. I don't know where the edge came
from that it was deep, dark, void, an unknown, and
I've forbidden. With this power, I can bring the moon
down on any target. If successful, at the cost could
be mind shattering. I just had to happen today. So
to answer question ourconem and is it a good time
to hold secrets? So to tell the truth. Well, there's
always a reason for something. And I understand your lesson
the ignorance of knowing who I am or doubting who
I was and who I am today changed in a
fate and destiny. This all comes full circle. Timing ism
tackable of you. But I had this as an ace
of my sleeve. I didn't care what you or anyone
else thought, as long as I was protecting everyone. And
I guess that it would just repeat because I don't
think I can do this spell at though, and I
believe multicasting probably needs more than one person with knowledge.
Speaker 4: That day on the battlefield, I do not personally remember it,
but both sides were fighting to protect the people they love.
And I'm sorry that this person that I've overtaken. Nice,
stop stop it.
Speaker 2: They were doing what they thought was right, So would I.
We're both ignorant too each other in our sides supposedly certainty,
I certainly was doing that spell to protect everyone, seeing
hundreds of people see it in front of me, I
had one chance. I'm lucky I didn't take everyone with
me behind me. Makes sense why Brom doesn't pick sides.
Speaker 1: Makes their way back over to the blackboard, begins to
scratch something out. It says, you over wrote no one.
Your origins are different than you think. You are more
complicated than that.
Speaker 4: And hem you also find out.
Speaker 1: Turns towards you, and there is a inclination of yes
to its head, and as it does, so begins to
roll up into a scroll that stops at your feet.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, don't and just leave. After that,
we need to find out about them. Yeah, I have
the perfect time to find out about Valkyrie.
Speaker 1: As Enders says this, we switch scenes. Moon, you are
currently in a sky vehicle at night.
Speaker 5: With poor gas.
Speaker 1: Veteran from as Gore that you met previous day. You
are currently piloting this vehicle. Hm hmm, I need to
start things off with a travel roll.
Speaker 7: Oh okay, where would my travel role be?
Speaker 1: So travel roll varies based on the circumstance of your
current situation. M. You are currently headed north out of
Echo Shade with a kind of bline for no Sissia.
That's what you had communicated last session. Is that still
the case? Yes, okay, very well, let's do a travel role.
Then this is going to be D twelve. Low is good,
Low is good? Five? Very well, Moon, you begin to
travel north. I don't know if you're quite sure how
to read a lot of the instrumentation that's in this vehicle.
It's different than a standard car, but it has the
equivalent of a dashboard that you've kind of smashed quite
a bit, and there's probably like a throttle or something
of an equivalent. I don't think it has pedals really,
but maybe it's got like one of those like cool
like weird steering wheels, you know, those like half steering
wheels that like the yeah in the eighties and like
for whatever reason, Yes, one of those weird ones that
just got like a bunch of load outs and stuff
on it. But yeah, it's just it's just quite a
bit different. And core Gath is sitting there, and uh,
how long has it been since you've spoken.
Speaker 5: To each other.
Speaker 8: It's been pretty silent. Uh, if I had to guess,
maybe a half hour.
Speaker 7: Okay, maybe longer. I haven't really been keeping track of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a roll real quick myself. Core Gath has passed out.
There's kind of like a uh general like with like
whistling that's coming from the doorframe. You smash this door
were closed. Basically you just kind of grabbed the door
and just forced it closed, regardless of how it fit
the frame of the vehicle. But the vehicle is seemingly
holding together. Great, you are making your way. It appears
to be over the ocean at the moment. Okay, I've
been traveling now for a few hours, and about half
an hour since Coregath has said anything.
Speaker 5: He's just kind of.
Speaker 1: Passed out at some point, having killed him and haven't
thrown him out of the vehicle, and you haven't.
Speaker 7: Made the kidnap official.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 7: I look at him.
Speaker 8: No, I look for some kind of radio or maybe
like a music station, anything that might be in this
vehicle that looks familiar.
Speaker 1: The yeah, you smashed part of the dashboard. I'll tell
you what, why don't you uh yeah what, Hey, I
didn't do it. Why don't you go ahead and uh
and uh make an insight and insight open check.
Speaker 9: Okay, Oh.
Speaker 7: That's a ten.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I imagine you get something working. Okay, just roll,
just roll like a D two.
Speaker 5: For me, okay.
Speaker 1: One. Yeah, it's it's like a little too quiet. The music.
It's just kind of like it's almost functioning like background music.
It's barely there. But yeah, there's some there's some kind
of I imagine it probably sounds a bit like this
that's going on.
Speaker 8: I just keep it on and I turn it up
as loud as I can because Krga's snoring is still
loudly overtaking everything.
Speaker 7: I rolled my eyes.
Speaker 8: I realize I'm thirsty, and I guess, out of some weird,
long lost habit, I start looking.
Speaker 7: Around this vehicle.
Speaker 8: Is there anything in here, like a map, snacks, something
to wipe my face with because I'm probably still got
kaiju blood?
Speaker 4: On it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's, uh, there's probably some stuff in there. I
imagine you can probably find some some kind of snack
or something. What do you think it is?
Speaker 8: I am rummaging around and I hear this kind of
like this like crinkling noise, like oh, and I crinkles
moreh And I.
Speaker 7: Pull out this small.
Speaker 8: Transparent bag full of like crunchy something crunching. I'm like, oh,
and I'm staring at it like oh, it's got to
be chips. And it's dried mushrooms. There's just a bag
of dried mushrooms in this vehicle.
Speaker 5: The most disappointing snack.
Speaker 7: And I'm so disappointed. And I look at it like what,
I'm hungry.
Speaker 5: I feel this pain all too Well.
Speaker 1: It's when you go to the fridge and you're like,
oh man, there's gonna be so much good stuff in there. Oh,
I can't wait, and then you realize I ate all
the good stuff already.
Speaker 2: Stuff drags.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what I bought from the grocery store when
I'm like, i'll get some healthy stuff this week.
Speaker 7: And yeah, I look at it. It's like mushrooms again,
Well it so is mushrooms.
Speaker 8: And I reached into the bag and I sort of oh,
oh oh, hey, they've got some kind of seasoning on
them that makes them like a taste almost like a
potato chip. Here's your m all right, I want to
go up to your own I thought you were going
to be born mm hmm, spicy.
Speaker 7: I look at Corgath. Yeah, no, I'm not going to
share this.
Speaker 5: Horn.
Speaker 1: The fuck out of the seat behind him, like every
time he makes any sort of major movement, it just
rips apart this seat. It's fucking the things in tatters
by now, like it's you know, you can see kind
of the frame of the seat at this point, like
a lot of the cushioning is gone.
Speaker 5: Ah, what do we fight ahead?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 5: There's that noise? Oh there's more of that music from.
Speaker 7: I Yeah, yeah, I uh, I turn it off and
then I kind of like shake the bag at him
and I go mushroom.
Speaker 2: Food.
Speaker 1: He grabs it and.
Speaker 7: Just help yourself. I've had my fill.
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, not bad?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 1: Are we there?
Speaker 4: Good?
Speaker 7: Window, No, we're uh. I think we've still got a
little bit to go.
Speaker 8: But listen, when we get there, I'm gonna be looking
for people, and uh, you're just gonna have to come
with me and we'll figure something out.
Speaker 7: Okay, because technically you're still kidnapped.
Speaker 5: Don't forget that, all right, what do you mean lonch
of people are at you? You murdering everyone?
Speaker 8: And uh no, no, no, no, I I just need
to meet up with some people that I haven't seen
in some time. And yeah, I'm hoping nobody nobody dies,
probably be fine.
Speaker 5: Oh lovers then.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, I they know like friends.
Speaker 5: Oh I was worried. I thought, where who Yeah, you
don't hear much in I score, but we heard about
what happened with you and the Dragon Empress.
Speaker 2: Is this?
Speaker 7: Oh right, yes, of course, Well I was. That was
a long time ago. And I kind of narrow my
eyes and I look out the windshield.
Speaker 1: It's like there's there's like a few spider web cracks,
you know, like at the bottom of it.
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, yeah, so you've got the long trip you
I want to talk about it?
Speaker 7: Well, I guess, well, hi system are you there? Excuse me?
Give me one second. Koreyath Okay.
Speaker 5: The camera sees like koreyas looking at the moon and like,
what the fuck is she talking about? And yeah, you here?
Speaker 8: I am here, I'm afraid to say anything because I
don't want to say anything out loud.
Speaker 7: Because he's staring right at me.
Speaker 1: This conversation isn't happening. What what do you mean?
Speaker 8: This conversation isn't happening. See, but he's looking right at me.
I'm speaking out loud.
Speaker 1: Right as you start to think about it, you realize
you're not speaking out loud. Oh, kind of making a
few gestures.
Speaker 7: I stopped making gestures.
Speaker 2: I I don't know.
Speaker 7: I'm talking to you without speaking. This is so weird.
Speaker 8: Okay, look what's going through his mind right now? Can
you can you tell me through Corega's mind?
Speaker 1: As you ask this question, you start to h I
imagine your perception starts to sort of change a little bit.
And you've experienced this now a few times. It's quite
as jarring. But as you do, you can kind of
just start to hear core Gas's thoughts.
Speaker 5: I wondered if she's going to kill me. Well, I
guess there's worse ways to die. She throws me out
of this vehicle. Wonder if I could survive the four
I'm very strong.
Speaker 8: I look out the window as he says this kind
of instinctive like it's pretty high up right, and we're
above the ocean right now.
Speaker 1: It's really up to you how high you want to
be above the ocean. I think when we last spoke,
you said you were like.
Speaker 7: Three to four a few hundred stories.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're we're ways up.
Speaker 5: I something there is the other thought, maybe she would
get angry at me for asking this question about the
dragon empress. I wonder what that was like. Ooh, I've
never seen her, but I bet she is very strong
and fierce.
Speaker 1: Yes, it just kind of devolves in what you imagine
most men think about it.
Speaker 8: Like I start to go, okay, says that's enough, that's enough,
that's enough, thank you, thank you. Uh.
Speaker 7: And I look over and I'm like, yeah, have some
more mushrooms?
Speaker 5: There are no more?
Speaker 8: Oh ah.
Speaker 7: And I look around and I start rummaging. Ah, well,
all right, what else do we talk about? What's your
last name?
Speaker 5: Last name?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, Cargath.
Speaker 5: We don't really have last names, and as a god
we have.
Speaker 1: We are.
Speaker 5: Tepper's daughter, our guard's son. Okay, I am our guard's son.
Speaker 7: Nice okay.
Speaker 8: And it's silent again. So I'm I'm meeting up with
my friends and I haven't seen them in a while,
and last time I was with them, I might have
killed some of them.
Speaker 7: And also I decapitated a dragon.
Speaker 1: H acause it's just kind of like nodding like he
understands everything you just said.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I uh, it was pretty messy. Uh there's some
uh screaming. I was holding my friend at the time
also and probably really hurt her. Oh anyway, Uh, look, Corgath,
I don't know if you've ever had to like make
amends after doing some really terrible things. But I guess
that's where I'm headed right now. And I just I
just don't want to hurt anybody else, you know. But
but that seems like that's it's all been doing lately,
and all I'm good for. It's just chopping up guide you. Look,
I know you don't want to talk about it. Just
think about access, okay, mm hmm. It's the only reason
I wanted to bring you along, just so we can
talk about battle.
Speaker 5: I can talk about the battle often. But you act
like I have no feelings or I've never had any
sort of emotions.
Speaker 8: I'm not saying that. Look, Look, I'm just I just
I'm just not trying to get too close Okay, but
you seem like a good dude.
Speaker 5: Not really, But I am a person. Look, I don't
live a complicated life. I like to fuck, I like
to kill, I like money, I like good food.
Speaker 2: I like.
Speaker 5: Adventure, like the cold. Cold is good. Let you know
that you're alive. But I don't think I'm particularly good.
I'm just a person like everyone. Will they sing songs
about me when I die? Maybe depends on what kind
of kiji I kill or what my deeds are. Who
knows what other people will see when they think of me,
or read about me, or listen to the songs that
might come about from something I've done. It doesn't really matter.
I go about my life and I have fun. That
is good enough for me.
Speaker 7: I'm nodding. It seems like a it seems like a
pretty worthy goal to me.
Speaker 2: Goal.
Speaker 5: Ah, I guess.
Speaker 1: Hm.
Speaker 5: I usually just think about the moment.
Speaker 7: Think about the moment. H yeah, yeah, I like that.
And I look out the window and I kind of
lower the vehicle.
Speaker 4: And I.
Speaker 8: Look at the door, and uh, I'm gonna make an
attempt to just punch it off the hinges.
Speaker 5: Okay, just an open might.
Speaker 7: Twenty.
Speaker 5: The thing gets fucking launched off the vehicle. Wha, look I.
Speaker 8: Look at I look at cor gas. Look it's right there,
and we're like skimming across the water. If you want
to jump, you can. If you want to leave, you can.
Speaker 7: But it's been fun.
Speaker 5: In the back A jar, the door jar, and it's
horribly mangled, just like.
Speaker 7: And if you want to stay, it'd be really fun
to have you here and like the waters. Like you listen,
I can promise you it'll be fun. But you can.
You can jump if you want.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: In the distance, you can actually see land again ahead
of you, maybe a mile or so away. Oh, there's
some mountain mass such m hmm.
Speaker 7: There's also land. I mean we could, we could, can't
we see?
Speaker 5: Before Ath looks at you and says, well, you brought
me here, kidnapped me, and you want to take me
to Narsisia. Hm, you want to see your friends. I
am curious.
Speaker 2: What they are like?
Speaker 5: You say you killed some of them.
Speaker 2: Are they I'm dead?
Speaker 7: I don't know. I haven't been back.
Speaker 2: M hm. How do you know where they are?
Speaker 7: I asked, I got an answer, and that's I'm That's
all I'm going on right now.
Speaker 5: Shrugs. Well, I'm curious about that.
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, great, and I kind of settle back
and I I say, hold on then, and I pedal
pedal to the metal and the water like we go
like kind of on the surface and start like just.
Speaker 7: Through the water like really really fast, and you just see.
Speaker 5: Like he's like pointed land up ahead.
Speaker 7: Ocean spray.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, there's land, there's land, And I'm just beligning
for whatever I can see.
Speaker 7: That might look like the nearest way to port.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it looks. It's still super cold, and
as you start to think about it, you're like, that's
in dar.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 7: Okay, all right. I look at core Gath. Okay, we're
not there yet, but we're getting somewhere.
Speaker 9: Where can I pull up?
Speaker 7: Where can I pull up? And I start scanning the land.
Speaker 5: Jump door is core Gath just raises up a boot
and starts fucking.
Speaker 1: Taking the fucking with the dashboard.
Speaker 5: It just starts sparking like a demon inside the well,
shut up, I know, I know it is.
Speaker 7: It is pretty demonic. When it doesn't shut up like that,
We're gonna arrive in style, core Gath.
Speaker 2: Very well.
Speaker 1: It's it's super fucking cold, by the way, like as
soon as the door was knocked off. I mean, core
Gas is even looking a little cold. He's got his
he's got his like furs just kind of like piled
up and squished together as much as he can.
Speaker 2: It's good.
Speaker 5: It makes you feel alive, Yes, dress a very alive
right now.
Speaker 7: You can see like there's like it's so anime. There's
like icicles coming out.
Speaker 1: Of my nose, like it's the Dumb and Dumber scene,
the Booger's frozen into their face. Yes, uh yeah, it
just looks like it's it's horrific. At the moment, as
you are passing over the lands of Indarh through the night,
you can see like down below it basically it just
looks like frozen like mountains, Like it's like a tundra
down there. You can you know, it's just kind of
like white and you know, frozen, and it's just kind
of reflecting a lot of the moonlight at the moment,
and it's it's very like hazy. The windshield is like
frozen over a bit.
Speaker 8: As as you're continuing, is there anything that looks like
light down there, anything like a fire?
Speaker 1: No, it's just like a blank canvas down there. Pretty much.
I mean you can see there's like you know, the
it just basically looks like white and like mountains and nothing,
no like civilization that you can say.
Speaker 7: I look over at core Gas first, Hey can I can?
Speaker 8: I And I like grab like a shimmage of the
end of one and just put it over my knee. Okay,
that's that's that's all the one. That's just that's enough.
Speaker 5: You didn't bring a colt.
Speaker 7: I haven't gotten a coat. I mean I have a coat,
but it's not enough.
Speaker 8: And I look at my sun bear like outfit that's
just kind of frosted over. It looks really cool, but
it's it's just not enough.
Speaker 1: He looks, he looks at you for a second, raises
an eyebrow, and then like he reaches over to the
coat and just kind of like he pulls on like
a draw string and it gets like significantly warmer.
Speaker 8: I It's like it's like it like the material kind
of puffs up and it immediately it's like someone just
turned on heating.
Speaker 7: Like it like, ah.
Speaker 5: Feels exactly like that, Like Nail, I.
Speaker 7: Look at Corgath, How did you do that?
Speaker 2: How did you do that? Did you you know.
Speaker 5: It Tessa. I think they look like shit, but it wore.
I guess peace is more likely not ship.

a blue sort of tinge to it. It's almost glacial
as you're passing over, so like white and blue really
