[b]Yuria knocks several times, excited about something.[/b]
[i]"Finally..."[/i]
English
-
"Finally what now?"
-
[b]Anri opens the door.[/b] "Hey, who a-" [b]She suddenly stops talking, her eyes widening as she looks at Yuria.[/b] [i]"We don't have much time. I need to come in."[/i] "Oh...ok."
-
"Umm. I'll just. Stand out here. And watch."
-
[b]Yuria enters, Anri looking at Vio.[/b] "I'm sorry...it's complicated." [b]She closes the door. You can still hear their voices however.[/b] "Who are you? Why are you here?" [i]"I am Yuria of the Sable Church. And you...are Anri of Astora. Comrade of Horace the Hushed."[/i] "How..." [i]"It's not that difficult to find out. And yet here you are, dwindling away as what? A mortal among gods. I can make you more, Anri. I can help you. You are the only hope that we have in the future."[/i] "But...why?" [i]"I will explain later..."[/i] [b]The talking stops.[/b]
-
[b]Vio waits for more to be said, then looks around for whatever caused them to stop speaking.[/b]
-
[b]The talking resumes, but in hushed tones. After a while, Anri busts out.[/b] [i]"Anri, please..."[/i] [b]She and Yuria walk right past Vio.[/b]
-
[b]Vio quickly makes herself appear invisible, and follows.[/b]
-
"Is it right? That's the fire..." [i]"You believe that the Age of Fire should continue? Anri, if the Fire lives on, the land will be stuck in a constant cycle of death and destruction."[/i] "But...the Age of Dark..." [i]"What about it?"[/i] "Isn't it supposed to be...bad?" [b]Yuria is silent for a bit.[/b] [i]"It will be up to us to figure that out, Anri."[/i]
-
[b]Vio continues following.[/b]
-
"So you're telling me...you want me to end the Age of Fire." [i]"And begin a new age of prosperity. Yes."[/i] [b]Anri sighs.[/b] "I'll...I'll try..." [i]"Good, Anri...but we must prepare. I will mentor you. I will teach you."[/i]
-
[i]That doesn't sound good,[/i] [b]Vio thinks to herself.[/b]
-
[i]"You will be my student. Will you allow me to be your trainer?"[/i] "... I will." [i]"Thank you, Anri. May the dark sigil guide thee."[/i] [b]Yuria leaves. Anri is standing still.[/b]
-
[b]Vio appears and slowly walks up to Anri.[/b] "Sooo."
-
"Hey, Vio..."
-
"I'll pretend I never heard that, then ask what Yuria wanted."
-
"It's complicated...like really, really complicated."
-
"So complicated, that my puny brain can't handle it?"
-
"I wouldn't put it like that..."
-
"Hmm. Well, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."
-
"Ugh...fine, I'll tell you."
-
"Um... I just said you didn't have to, did I?"
-
"I'll tell you, alright? If you really want to know."
-
"Oh, okay. Tell me."
-
"I'm an Unkindled. Basically, I'm a person that was supposed to reignite a fire to keep the world going, but I screwed up. I got brought back, and...yeah. Yuria knows that linking the fire isn't the right path though...atleast, she tells me. She wants me to let it die out...to extinguish it. She's right...my realm has gone to hell, because people senselessly bring the fire back, over and over."
-
"Okay. And, do you believe her?"
