[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]
-
"While I appreciate the forgiveness, I still have a war to fight. I have my own. And then the Twilight War."
-
[i]"Alright. I will tell the Church. The Dight Legion is no longer an enemy..."[/i] [b]She sighs.[/b] [i]"I'm sorry for disturbing you."[/i]
-
"I'm sorry for following you."
-
[i]"Oh, quit it. You were just curious."[/i]
-
"Hell yeah."
-
[i]"See? Oh, look at us. We've gone from hating each other to actually having a civic conversation... This is bad. We should go back to hating each other..."[/i]
-
[b]Royal chuckles [/b] "I like this more."
-
[i]"Bad Royal. BAD. We need to go kill each other or something."[/i]
-
"Nah. I'm good."
-
[i]"Hmm... I guess I am too."[/i] [b]Yuria chuckles a little.[/b] [i]"It was nice speaking with you...Royal. Or Dight. Whatever you'd like to be called."[/i]
-
"It's Royal. But you can call me want you wish Sable."
-
[i]"Sure thing, Dight."[/i] [b]Yuria laughs a little, before leaving. And yet, she thought to herself...did she do the right thing? Hell, she could've sliced his head off right there. Or tried. Maybe had Anri do it for her. But she didn't...what would her sisters think of her? No. That didn't matter. Her goal her was to mentor her student. Guide her. The Church should stay in Londor, at least for now. Yuria left the building, crossing her arms and watching the stars. Waiting...[/b] [spoiler]Fin![/spoiler]
