[b]Arthur nods.[/b] "[b]However, the past is the past. There is no use dwelling on it, only moving forward.[/b]"
-
[i]Oh thank god.[/i] "I agree. I agree..."
-
"[b]Now, I best be going.[/b]" [b]He walks out of the room.[/b] "[b]Yuria.... All I have to say is, do try not to end the world with your... beliefs. Nice dojo.[/b]" [b]He exits the room completely.[/b]
-
[b]Yuria is...stunned. She sits down, shaking her head.[/b] "My...beliefs?! MY...BELIEFS??!!"
-
"[i]Whoa there, Yuria. How about, instead of going full edge-mode, you tell me what that was all about?[/i]"
-
[b]She gets up, looking at Theresa.[/b] "...I'm sure Arthur would love to tell you." [b]Yuria walks out, angrier than before. She had respected Arthur, but...that? That was enough to make her snap...[/b]
-
"[i]Oy! Wait up![/i]" [b]Theresa runs out after Yuria.[/b] "[i]I don't get it! Maybe, I don't know, he was trying to warn you, or something?[/i]"
-
"I don't know... I don't know if he targeted my plan or...oh no... I have to go along with it. Anri has to go along with it..."
-
"[i]You know, I'm not going to question it. Where are we going?[/i]"
-
"I'm going home. That's all I'm doing. Planning more, it has to be flawless..." [b]She crosses her arms, heading to her room.[/b]
-
"[i]Okay. Well. Buh bye![/i]" [b]Theresa waves.[/b] [b]When Yuria enters her room, however, Arthur awaits.[/b] "And you're sure that crushing the flame will bring positive outcomes?" [b]He says, not looking at Yuria.[/b]
-
[b]Yuria sits down on her bed, sighing.[/b] "You're just like the others... Lordran is stuck inside of a constant cycle of bringing the fire back. A constant cycle of death, destruction, and curses. Nothing has changed since...ever. By crushing the Flame, Anri will be bringing a new age. Of peace. Prosperity. Without it, the dead will not rise again for some curse. Hollows might even be cured..." [b]She looks up at Arthur.[/b] "And then...there's the Nameless King..."
-
"Tell me more of this "Nameless King"."
-
"He wanted this to happen. For Ornstein to fail, for Mortar to die. So he could take the flame, usurp it, and...and destroy everything... That's why Anri is so needed. She's the last Unkindled, the last person that could either light the flame...or crush it. So that this dimension, like some others, isn't wiped out. Trust me..I know what I'm doing."
-
[b]Arthur nods.[/b] "If you believe it is right, is for the good of the people, then I shall not question it. For the action itself only makes up half the consequence."
-
[b]Yuria is silent, but shaking her head.[/b]
-
"Hm? What is it?"
-
"Nothing. I'm sorry. For...being an idiot and...well, Y'know..."
-
"No, I don't think I do know. Forget about it. As I said, the past is the past...." [b]Arthur seems to lose himself in memories.[/b]
-
"Arthur? You ok, bud?" [b]Yuria seeks concerned.[/b]
-
"Huh? Oh, me?" [b]He shakes his head, laughing slightly.[/b] "I'm fine. Best be going, however.... I trust I'll see you soon, Yuria of Londor."
-
"See you too, Arthur." [b]She sighs once again.[/b]
-
[b]Arthur walks out of the room, turning off the lights as he goes.[/b] "Get some sleep. You'll need it." [spoiler]Fin?[/spoiler]
-
"Yeah..." [spoiler]Fin![/spoiler]
