[b]The apartment door opens. Anri is trying to throw Royal out [/b]
"Just a drink!"
English
-
"I don't even know y-" [i]"Anri."[/i] [b]Yuria tears Royal away from her with surprising strength.[/b] [b]Anri is silent.[/b] [i]"We must speak with each other. Without this Dight."[/i] "Oh...um, ok..."
-
[b]Royal leaves the room cursing [/b]
-
[i]"Filthy bastard..."[/i] [b]Yuria enters Anri's room, closing the door.[/b]
-
[b]Royal chuckles. Opening his palm seeing and hearing everything in the room [/b]
-
[b]Yuria has already started speaking, standing up straight. Anri is on the couch.[/b] [i]"-must realize that it's the best path. Mortar didn't do it, it's up to you. Please, Anri..."[/i] "But..." [b]She sighs.[/b] [i]"Anri...you'll be doing this for the betterment of all realms..."[/i] "But what about afterwards? After the flame dies, and darkness covers Lordran?!" [i]"It is up to us to find out."[/i]
-
[b]Royal listens [/b]
-
[i]"I will train you, Anri. I will mentor you, guide you through this. You will be my student. Will you allow me to be your master?"[/i] [b]Anri is thinking.[/b]
-
[b]Royal continues listening [/b]
-
"...Yes." [i]"Thank you, Anri. May the dark sigil guide thee."[/i] [b]Yuria leaves and walks out, about to see Royal.[/b]
-
[b]Royal explodes into shadows [/b]
-
[i]"Afraid, Dight? I expected more from a cold-blooded murderer."[/i]
-
"Hey now." [b]Royal is leaning against the wall behind her [/b] "You guys were making a new church. A new belief system. Or at least we thought so. [i]Sable[/i]." [b]He says with distaste [/b]
-
[i]"We took care of others. We built Londor up, loved and helped those in need...then you...[u]You..."[/u][/i]
-
"And you murdered those that dare oppose you."
-
[i]"Yes, we did. But that doesn't make your Legion any better than the Church. We cared, built up the land, prepared for the age of humanity, the age that we would be free from this fire-linking curse."[/i]
-
"You call it a curse. I've never understood that."
-
[i]"Do you not understand? While the other lands and worlds flourished, discovering and living happy, bountiful lives...we were stuck in a never-ending cycle of fools lighting a flame so that we could do nothing... So myself and my sisters tried to help. We created the Church, to offer redemption to those that had nothing. To the sinful, cursed ones. To Hollows. We grew in power, developing dark miracles and sorceries. Our enemies were weak, and fell easily. And then...you came."[/i] [b]Yuria looks up at Royal, shaking her head.[/b] [i]"...Why?"[/i]
-
"You answer my question and I'll answer yours. Why Anri?"
-
[i]"She is Unkindled. The only ones that are able to link this flame now, returning once more to link it again. But...she can crush the flame. Bring upon change. Become a hero. Would you not wish that for her?"[/i]
-
"Of course not. Why would she take upon that responsibility? And risk Nameless growing in power? Risk Manus coming back early?"
-
[i]"I suppose I must tell you. The Nameless King wanted Ornstein to fail. He wanted everything to happen the way it did. So he could harbor the flame himself. And the only person capable of crushing the flame is...Anri. He will destroy everything. Please...Anri is the only hope that this universe has."[/i]
-
"I'm not against it. I'm not for it." [b]He sighs [/b] "I have seen universes where Nameless rose. Where Anri was never saved."
-
[i]"Then...then you know of what must be done, to stop him..."[/i]
-
[b]Royal looks away [/b] "I know. But you resent me. And I have my own battles to worry about. I might not survive them. And I'm sure you would celebrate that."
-
[b]Yuria lowers her head, sighing.[/b] [i]"We're in this together. Forget the past. It's time for me to move forward, away from the events that fateful day. And so, I forgive thee..."[/i]
