"Hmm. You wanna hear my story?"
-
Why not. I've got time to kill. *Caesar sits down, looking around* So long as Cyan doesn't see me.
-
"Why is it bad if Cyan sees you?"
-
Considering I tried to kill her family...
-
"Oh...right."
-
Please, tell me.
-
"My story? Very well. Started out as a villager. Not even 8 when my entire village was captured by the Cathedral of the Deep, a sick group of priests that had gone from keeping the Deep locked away to worshipping it. They sacrificed us to...Aldrich. A cannibal... Along with another child named Horace, I escaped. And left all of the others behind..."
-
*Caesar listens in*
-
"After a while, we decided on revenge. Me and Horace stormed the Cathedral, but...Aldrich had left. We traveled to Irithyll, and met a man named...Kross. He's a member here, I believe. Horace was killed...but Kross was able to slay Aldrich. And I practically did nothing." [b]Anri looks awful at the end.[/b]
-
*Caesar places a hand on her shoulder* You did all you could. I am sorry that you lost many people to this Aldrich, but you helped as much as you could.
-
"Yeah. I guess I did."
-
I am sorry you lost them, I really am.
-
"It's fine...it's fine. I should've known Mortar more, talked to him more often."
-
He was a noble man, he will be missed.
-
"Yep.."
-
Don't worry. If you can get to the Underworld and survive, you may be able to see him.
-
"Wonder if there's a chance that he could return. Depends on whether he'd want to or not, but still."
-
I don't know. He's in his father's hands.
-
"Hmm. And his father wouldn't want him to leave, most likely."
-
of course. I don't think a man who resorts to tyranny would let his son go that easily.
-
"Right, right..."
-
What about you. Do you think you can get your friend back?
-
"No. Horace is...he's gone. Forever.."
-
Oh. I'm so sorry
-
"It's fine. He would prefer to stay gone. He's served his purpose."
