WEBVTT 00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:10.500 Rainbow Dice Club presents Tales of Three. In 00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:12.699 the world of Elisora, practicing magic is more 00:00:12.699 --> 00:00:15.720 than just frowned upon. It's demonized. The reason? 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.780 762 years ago, the world almost ended with magic 00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:22.550 and the gods as its root cause. Today on the 00:00:22.550 --> 00:00:25.129 continent of Thylacere, magic is heavily monitored 00:00:25.129 --> 00:00:28.070 and presided over by the greedy hands of a monarchy, 00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:31.010 who only allows its people to cast up to a certain 00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:33.630 tier, rendering things like teleportation and 00:00:33.630 --> 00:00:36.539 planar travel highly illegal. When Ivy steps 00:00:36.539 --> 00:00:38.700 through a portal and lands in Thylacere, her 00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:40.880 meeting with Varys and Allara is a fortuitous 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.560 accident. Three strangers with forbidden, magical 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.179 secrets of their own unwittingly stumble upon 00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:49.200 a plot to destroy the world as we know it. Their 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.140 search for the truth will have them questioning 00:00:51.140 --> 00:00:53.740 everything they think they know. And as sinister 00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:57.020 forces move to keep them apart, these three unlikely 00:00:57.020 --> 00:00:59.619 heroes find their meeting was no accident at 00:00:59.619 --> 00:01:02.390 all. Join us every Friday as we tell a tale of 00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:05.370 daring adventures, forbidden magic, epic battles, 00:01:05.590 --> 00:01:09.310 betrayal, love, loss, and of course, Dungeons 00:01:09.310 --> 00:01:12.489 & Dragons. Find us at Rainbow Dice Club on most 00:01:12.489 --> 00:01:14.930 socials and at Tales of 3 wherever you get your 00:01:14.930 --> 00:01:59.819 podcasts. Now, we all know war is hell, right? 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.659 Obvious statement, war bad, peace good. But one 00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:05.120 fascinating aspect of war that I've noticed is 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.340 propensity for creating luminary adventurers. 00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:09.719 I mean, look no further than the bloodiest war 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.939 we've seen in recent years, the Civil War on 00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:14.860 Taim. Handsome Guy and his fellow party lords, 00:02:15.020 --> 00:02:17.479 Jack Black Trumpet and his merry mushrooms. I 00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.060 mean, some truly big names have risen from the 00:02:20.060 --> 00:02:22.699 flames of that particular conflict. And when 00:02:22.699 --> 00:02:24.860 it comes to heroes born of the Civil War, who 00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:26.759 could forget the true incarnation of the war 00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:31.099 itself? The Churapor Badger. Howlin' Longash, 00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:33.659 Howlin' One -Eye, the Churapor Badger, no matter 00:02:33.659 --> 00:02:35.919 what name you call him, you're gonna feel a shiver 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.580 down your spine. If you're an enemy of the Great 00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:41.139 Empress Feruza, that is. Born and raised in the 00:02:41.139 --> 00:02:43.479 port city of Churapor, Howlin' was quickly thrown 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.360 into the fray as the shipping lanes became a 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.300 frequent target for the various heirs to the 00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:50.099 throne. With so many enemies out to conquer this 00:02:50.099 --> 00:02:52.300 vital strategic location, Howland had to tap 00:02:52.300 --> 00:02:54.740 into his dwarven strength and his primal berserker's 00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:58.159 rage to keep his city safe. After years of brutal 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.639 bloodshed, the fair Empress Feruza was the only 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.319 heir to maintain any hold on Chorobor, born purely 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.900 through peaceful bargaining and the fierce loyalty 00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:08.960 of the Badger himself. Many would say that, without 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.139 his intervention, Empress Feruza may never have 00:03:11.139 --> 00:03:14.680 taken the throne at all. Nowadays, Howland still 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.039 serves his empire as a luminary of the Radiant 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.039 Citadel. though his title has grown grander as 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.240 methods of battle have remained the same, donning 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.560 black and white leathers. And the eye patch he 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.599 is famed for, the joy of a badger strikes down 00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:29.419 foes in a flurry with both scimitars and claws. 00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:33.840 Ferocious. It seems that while the flames of 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.539 war have died out on Taib, they still burn hot 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:42.139 in Hal's heart. Thank you, Matthew! Hell yeah. 00:03:42.490 --> 00:03:44.590 Yeah, that's MatthewsNerdyNation on YouTube and 00:03:44.590 --> 00:03:46.930 MatthewsNerdy on Instagram. Oh, damn. Yeah, yeah, 00:03:46.990 --> 00:03:48.229 yeah. He's on the Discord. He's on the Discord. 00:03:48.250 --> 00:03:50.490 He's local, actually. Shout out. Yeah, yeah. 00:03:50.490 --> 00:03:54.710 He runs various games over Discord. I know Mike, 00:03:54.909 --> 00:03:59.150 our buddy, Diamante in Luminary World has joined 00:03:59.150 --> 00:04:01.449 a couple of them. Damn, that's cool. Yeah, yeah. 00:04:01.490 --> 00:04:04.370 So I get to join one myself because, you know. 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.240 I've been insanely busy. But man, sounds like 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:09.719 it's a great time. I actually helped Mike build 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.580 a character for one of the games. Oh, no way. 00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:15.659 I was like mad because it was such a cool character 00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:17.579 concept. I was like, I want that now. Wait, give 00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:21.199 it back. Just like a curse sort of plague night, 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:23.439 but he's wearing a full suit of armor that's 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.680 like essentially his hazmat suit containing it 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.620 so he can never take his armor off until he like 00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:29.160 breaks the... I was like, damn, that's so cool. 00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:31.300 We just worked up together and I was like, oh, 00:04:31.339 --> 00:04:37.560 Mike. Share it. But yeah, really cool stuff. 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.379 Thank you, Matthew. Thank you, Matthew. Great 00:04:39.379 --> 00:04:41.240 to hear that spotlight. I had a couple luminaries 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.120 come up, actually. Quite a few. They are building 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.120 up. So get ready for some more luminaries to 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.839 enter our world. Nice. I actually had a chart 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.259 recently. There's like 20 -something of these 00:04:51.259 --> 00:04:53.019 now. Holy shit. You can probably find them all 00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:56.069 on the wiki. Oh, yeah. Oh, damn. We got a wiki? 00:04:56.250 --> 00:04:58.910 We got a wiki. We got a wiki. Go to the Discord. 00:04:59.430 --> 00:05:02.810 Find the wiki. Leave a podcast review while you're 00:05:02.810 --> 00:05:07.149 at it. And while you're reviewing our show, make 00:05:07.149 --> 00:05:09.050 sure to review last week's episode because it 00:05:09.050 --> 00:05:12.110 was crazy. Yeah. I feel like they're all crazy 00:05:12.110 --> 00:05:14.350 now. Yeah, it's like peak fantasy fans. Yeah. 00:05:14.410 --> 00:05:18.170 That to me is why I love this game. Why I love 00:05:18.170 --> 00:05:20.529 it more than like, you know, a book or a TV show. 00:05:21.050 --> 00:05:22.750 Because you can never predict where it's going 00:05:22.750 --> 00:05:25.709 to go, right? Of course, in a TV show, in a book, 00:05:25.829 --> 00:05:27.430 the heroes aren't going to abandon the world. 00:05:27.529 --> 00:05:28.610 They're going to save all lives. They're going 00:05:28.610 --> 00:05:30.670 to do the whole big heroic thing. That's what's 00:05:30.670 --> 00:05:33.329 going to happen. But in the game, that doesn't 00:05:33.329 --> 00:05:35.810 always happen that way. You know, logic takes 00:05:35.810 --> 00:05:38.089 center stage sometimes. And we made a dice roll. 00:05:38.449 --> 00:05:40.529 And man, you know, it really could have gone 00:05:40.529 --> 00:05:42.529 any way. I think it was in the post -credits, 00:05:42.529 --> 00:05:44.750 but Jules rolled a 7, which meant a 17, which 00:05:44.750 --> 00:05:46.670 means there was a chance. There was an actual, 00:05:46.810 --> 00:05:48.829 real, true chance. A decent one, yeah. That Blanche 00:05:48.829 --> 00:05:51.800 could have... overruled that. And we would have 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.759 just left the world behind. Because once Sholay 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:55.920 has an idea set in her mind, that's that. You're 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.360 not stopping her. You'll be crispy on the ground. 00:05:59.540 --> 00:06:05.420 Go visit Hieronics. Speaking of shows, because 00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:07.240 we haven't done this in a while, Mr. Wolf and 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.259 I are both watching Lost. And we were just going 00:06:09.259 --> 00:06:12.519 on and on about Lost. And we started talking 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.259 about things that I hate about the show. And 00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:17.329 I love the show. But there are things I hate 00:06:17.329 --> 00:06:19.110 about the show. And one in particular that now 00:06:19.110 --> 00:06:20.569 Jeremy's cut off and I can talk about this. I 00:06:20.569 --> 00:06:21.709 want to bring it up because I want to see if 00:06:21.709 --> 00:06:24.610 you agree with me. Hold on. Spoiler alert for 00:06:24.610 --> 00:06:27.949 the 15 -year -old TV show. Spoiler alert for 00:06:27.949 --> 00:06:30.329 season two. Yeah, everything up until season 00:06:30.329 --> 00:06:34.490 three. This is a spoiler. Which, honestly, I 00:06:34.490 --> 00:06:35.990 don't even know what the fuck is going on. So 00:06:35.990 --> 00:06:37.629 I don't know what anything would be spoiling. 00:06:39.129 --> 00:06:44.290 Yeah, no. I love the show. So end of season two. 00:06:44.649 --> 00:06:46.269 There's a whole thing going on. The others, they're 00:06:46.269 --> 00:06:48.129 bad guys. They exist on a different island or 00:06:48.129 --> 00:06:51.209 on the same island. And basically, the main group 00:06:51.209 --> 00:06:53.170 of heroes are being lured into a trap. It's very 00:06:53.170 --> 00:06:54.949 known they're going into a trap. And one of the 00:06:54.949 --> 00:06:56.490 characters, Saeed's over there, and it's like, 00:06:56.529 --> 00:06:58.670 I have a plan. You're going to go over there 00:06:58.670 --> 00:07:00.009 and go to the trap. And I'm going to take the 00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:01.970 sailboat, and I'm going to move around, and I'm 00:07:01.970 --> 00:07:03.389 going to get them. And the guy's like, okay, 00:07:03.410 --> 00:07:05.170 let's go. And the main group of heroes leaves, 00:07:05.410 --> 00:07:07.449 fully intending to meet with Saeed, who's on 00:07:07.449 --> 00:07:09.149 the sailboat. And Saeed's kind of just watching 00:07:09.149 --> 00:07:11.410 them go, like, yeah, cool. And he walks over. 00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:15.180 he walks over to a drunk on the beach he's like 00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:18.839 i don't know how to drive a sailboat get out 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:24.120 you're like a veteran of war you're like the 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.920 calm collected like like badass what are you 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.639 doing like you didn't think just like gross overconfidence 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.600 like so it was obviously the writers want to 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.139 pull more characters into the whole thing but 00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:38.850 like it was so Oh, my God. I was, like, screaming 00:07:38.850 --> 00:07:43.149 at the TV. Like, what was that? Oh, I forgot. 00:07:43.389 --> 00:07:47.569 I forgot. I can't say. I can't say. Oh, oh. Speaking 00:07:47.569 --> 00:07:49.550 of pulling more people into the story. Sorry, 00:07:49.649 --> 00:07:51.589 one more thing on this. We just touched on this. 00:07:51.670 --> 00:07:53.170 This is the show now. They introduced, like, 00:07:53.230 --> 00:07:56.589 so they have this habit of, like, taking extras 00:07:56.589 --> 00:07:59.050 and giving them, like, one line. Like, they've 00:07:59.050 --> 00:08:00.490 been there the whole time. They're part of the 00:08:00.490 --> 00:08:03.290 main crew the whole time. So they brought in 00:08:03.290 --> 00:08:06.399 these two, this. this married couple oh my gosh 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.959 they have this whole episode where they give 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.360 them like this backstory and i'm like i don't 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:13.779 know how this relates to anything and then it 00:08:13.779 --> 00:08:15.639 turns out like at the end of the episode they 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.360 ended up like accidentally poisoning each other 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.759 with spiders that that paralyzed them entirely 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.720 i hate that episode by the way yeah and then 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.550 they come back Like, they somehow make it back 00:08:25.550 --> 00:08:26.750 to the beach, and then they're just paralyzed 00:08:26.750 --> 00:08:28.769 there, and everybody else thinks they're dead. 00:08:28.889 --> 00:08:31.069 Yeah. And then they bury them alive. What the 00:08:31.069 --> 00:08:32.830 fuck? And that's it. And they're done. And then 00:08:32.830 --> 00:08:34.549 that's it. It was pointless. And then that's 00:08:34.549 --> 00:08:37.470 it. It just killed them horribly. Yeah. What? 00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:45.919 It means nothing. That's... Wow. I think it's 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:47.600 generally the worst episode of the show because 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.860 that one was funny. Yeah. Anyways. Me and everybody 00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:53.059 else who doesn't watch Lost is just sitting here 00:08:53.059 --> 00:08:55.500 in the corner. Yeah. I hope you're all having 00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:57.519 a drink with me. Dude, we're... Yeah. I told 00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.340 David before we started the show. This is delightful 00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:01.960 to me. I don't know. I don't care. It's not called 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.120 Lost because they're lost on an island. It's 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:05.840 called Lost because I have no idea what the fuck 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.019 is going on. I am lost. Just wait until season 00:09:08.019 --> 00:09:11.690 four. Oh, God. Season four is a duke. A duke. 00:09:13.129 --> 00:09:15.169 We'll get to season four in time, because I'm 00:09:15.169 --> 00:09:17.330 going back to this. When you caught up, Jeremy, 00:09:17.490 --> 00:09:21.190 I'm going back to this. But now let's talk about 00:09:21.190 --> 00:09:24.250 a show that does no wrong. A show called Fantasy 00:09:24.250 --> 00:09:27.149 Pants. Hold on. Well, let's talk about Fantasy 00:09:27.149 --> 00:09:30.110 Pants, but before we jump into the game of Fantasy 00:09:30.110 --> 00:09:33.110 Pants, is it too early to talk about... Christmas? 00:09:33.830 --> 00:09:35.190 You're worried this one's going to come out in 00:09:35.190 --> 00:09:37.360 Christmas? No, no, no. Okay. Is it too early 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:38.820 to talk about Unzipped? Because I'm already getting 00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:41.279 Unzipped questions. No, no, no. I think we're 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.259 looking at still a few episodes, right? Because 00:09:43.259 --> 00:09:45.000 we have incoming conflict, and that's going to 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.179 take probably a couple episodes for that conflict 00:09:47.179 --> 00:09:51.200 alone. You know what? The earlier we start fielding 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:52.600 questions, the more we're going to get. Exactly. 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.679 It's just like Lowe's putting out Halloween stuff 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.120 in July. The sooner you start, the more you get. 00:09:58.379 --> 00:10:00.220 Yeah, we'll have this Unzipped in December. It'll 00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:02.360 be fine. Yeah. And it gives everyone plenty of 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.720 time to send us. Audio clip questions. So I asked 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.580 David this the other day on the side. I was like, 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.840 hey, David, I don't want to overstep, but can 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:12.200 I offer the Pants People community engagement 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.679 buttons if they send in voice clips? Thanks, 00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:19.259 guys. So I got a yes. Do we want to cap it at 00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:23.179 three or? Oh, gosh. Yeah, let's do that. Let's 00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:25.700 probably cap it at three per. Three per question. 00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:28.000 I was going to say three. Three ever? One per 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.779 question for three total. Oh, that doesn't seem 00:10:30.779 --> 00:10:33.820 right. What? I want to be generous with the... 00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:36.539 Oh, my goodness. And I want more voice clips, 00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:39.700 more audio clips. All right. I like it better 00:10:39.700 --> 00:10:41.600 that way. You've been good lately. Okay. All 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.860 right, pants people. All right, we got them. 00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:44.899 Three buttons for a question. Help Steven fill 00:10:44.899 --> 00:10:47.580 out his fancy pants. No, no, no. Three questions. 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.259 They're each worth a button. Yeah. Max of three. 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:52.519 Oh, that's what I was saying. Right? So if you're 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:54.600 one human being and you want to send us three 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.340 unzipped questions, if you send them in audio 00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:59.240 format... That's what I said! Maximum three, 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.879 one per question. Oh, I thought you meant three 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.919 ever, ever, not three per person. Oh, no, no. 00:11:05.019 --> 00:11:06.879 Yeah, three per person. Okay, cool. Oh, my goodness. 00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:08.559 We've been in agreement the whole time. We have 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.220 been. Go us. Which means that we are very much 00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:15.120 unlike Blanche and Jules, who were absolutely 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.519 not in agreement last episode. And I'm excited 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:21.139 to see where that goes tonight. I don't know. 00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:23.620 I think they're both smart enough to understand 00:11:23.620 --> 00:11:27.289 either way. They're not going to be enemies. 00:11:27.549 --> 00:11:29.269 Well, we've got to continue the show at least. 00:11:29.509 --> 00:11:33.309 Time for the blood to spill. Put your money now 00:11:33.309 --> 00:11:36.210 on who gets to live and who dies tonight in Fancy 00:11:36.210 --> 00:11:43.070 Pants. Let's reset the scene. Yeah, I definitely 00:11:43.070 --> 00:11:45.370 need a reset. I want to say that at this point 00:11:45.370 --> 00:11:46.809 in time, because we've only talked about this, 00:11:46.929 --> 00:11:49.370 when you guys got up, had food, had a discussion, 00:11:49.529 --> 00:11:53.330 I'm going to call this around 9 .30 a .m. likely 00:11:53.330 --> 00:11:55.230 another attack hit the palace during Sholay's 00:11:55.230 --> 00:11:57.009 story and your decision, but as Sholay promised, 00:11:57.350 --> 00:12:00.929 no forces have come before her directly. Happy 00:12:00.929 --> 00:12:03.950 to slay others away from her, maybe try to draw 00:12:03.950 --> 00:12:07.690 her out, but I think this force that strikes 00:12:07.690 --> 00:12:10.649 at you all, strikes at the city, knows that to 00:12:10.649 --> 00:12:13.029 attack Sholay would be redundant. To send any 00:12:13.029 --> 00:12:15.370 forces after Sholay would be redundant. She is 00:12:15.370 --> 00:12:21.250 simply too strong. What happens when she's gone? 00:12:22.189 --> 00:12:25.350 as I think that conversation we just had has 00:12:25.350 --> 00:12:28.950 very recently ended. Last we saw, Jules went 00:12:28.950 --> 00:12:31.649 off to one corner to sit, Chester beside him, 00:12:31.690 --> 00:12:34.149 Blanche, you sort of stepped away from Sholay, 00:12:34.210 --> 00:12:36.470 Akio moving beside you, and I think we see Sholay 00:12:36.470 --> 00:12:40.409 has moved away after those final words, drawn 00:12:40.409 --> 00:12:43.889 out a sending stone. She seems to have a near 00:12:43.889 --> 00:12:45.549 -limitless supply of the things on her person, 00:12:45.730 --> 00:12:48.289 all connected to somebody else that you don't 00:12:48.289 --> 00:12:52.139 know. After a brief, quiet conversation into 00:12:52.139 --> 00:12:57.759 the stone, she turns to face you all again. I 00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:00.240 have called for an emergency transfer of the 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.480 Amethyst Conquer Jewel. It will arrive momentarily, 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.259 and then I will go. I would like you to wait 00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:10.759 here until I have broken the spell. I may take 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.500 more time than I expected. There are yet a few 00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:15.720 cards I intend to play before I leave the table. 00:13:16.299 --> 00:13:19.039 If the hour approaches noon... and nothing has 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:21.259 happened, then go to Queen Jean Mee and stand 00:13:21.259 --> 00:13:24.259 behind her guard when next the mist comes. Though 00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:25.940 my hope is that it'll all be done before that 00:13:25.940 --> 00:13:31.460 comes to pass. After that, the rest is up to 00:13:31.460 --> 00:13:34.179 the four of you. You and the people of this city. 00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:38.419 Will we not meet the Gwishin at the burial site? 00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:44.659 I don't believe so. Once the spell has been broken 00:13:44.659 --> 00:13:46.179 and your memories unshackled by the diamond, 00:13:46.990 --> 00:13:50.470 You should go to the Park of the Elders. There 00:13:50.470 --> 00:13:52.950 at its center, beneath the shadow of the Statue 00:13:52.950 --> 00:13:55.570 of the Queen, is a spot where Wrath was killed. 00:13:56.169 --> 00:13:58.269 It is there that he will most likely appear again 00:13:58.269 --> 00:14:00.830 when called upon, if my understanding of the 00:14:00.830 --> 00:14:05.210 mechanics of these creatures is sound. Go there. 00:14:05.830 --> 00:14:09.110 Call upon his name and memory. When he is remembered 00:14:09.110 --> 00:14:12.590 by everyone, I believe he will be pierced enough 00:14:12.590 --> 00:14:16.480 to be able to be destroyed. Perhaps he'll go 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.340 quietly, satiated by the release of his legend, 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:23.179 perhaps. But if he chooses to linger, to fight, 00:14:23.419 --> 00:14:25.840 then you'll need to drive him back into death 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:31.539 one final time. Be wary. Wrath was terrifyingly 00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:34.779 strong, even in life. On top of this, we have 00:14:34.779 --> 00:14:36.740 already seen that he may call upon a force of 00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:39.620 creatures from the mist. If possible, you may 00:14:39.620 --> 00:14:41.519 want to mobilize a force of the Queen's soldiers 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:44.620 to protect you and support you. Once the truth 00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:46.799 is laid bare, it may be possible to convince 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.759 her. After all, it will no longer be her demon 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.179 to face. Blanche is fidgeting with her ring. 00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:05.139 I need an hour to prepare a spell. You will have 00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:09.940 time. It will take me some time to prepare everything 00:15:09.940 --> 00:15:14.509 I need to do before I am... unable to proceed. 00:15:15.370 --> 00:15:18.629 I will give you what support I can, and in time 00:15:18.629 --> 00:15:21.289 you may come to learn what it is I intend to 00:15:21.289 --> 00:15:26.970 do today. But think now of the battle. I think 00:15:26.970 --> 00:15:31.629 you will be in danger. Grave danger when he is 00:15:31.629 --> 00:15:37.230 released. I have a theory that I was not the 00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:40.690 one that awakened my son's spirit. Not alone. 00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:43.759 It did not activate when I first came upon this 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.039 city again after my absence of nine years. No. 00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:52.259 Only when you arrived. The gate was attacked 00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:54.639 during the first wave of the mist and never again. 00:15:55.580 --> 00:15:57.779 If my information is accurate, then it seems 00:15:57.779 --> 00:16:00.279 this is the only time you were not in one of 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.080 Wrath's zones of influence. The Park of the Elders, 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.440 where he was killed. The Tiger District, where 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.080 he was buried. And here, the Seat of Dragons, 00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:11.389 where I have been staying. I suspect that if 00:16:11.389 --> 00:16:14.370 you were ever outside these zones, you would 00:16:14.370 --> 00:16:18.129 have been attacked regardless. I suspect that 00:16:18.129 --> 00:16:23.230 one of its primary targets is you, Jules. It 00:16:23.230 --> 00:16:26.409 is not a thing I fully understand. Perhaps my 00:16:26.409 --> 00:16:28.230 son was jealous of you and the cult's high hopes 00:16:28.230 --> 00:16:31.350 for you. Or perhaps he yet serves Omate Shab, 00:16:31.389 --> 00:16:34.009 the fallen Drakon, and he would see you killed 00:16:34.009 --> 00:16:36.289 in the creature's name. But I have a hard time 00:16:36.289 --> 00:16:39.909 understanding why he would want you dead. Given 00:16:39.909 --> 00:16:41.970 the efforts made to shape you into what you are. 00:16:42.929 --> 00:16:48.250 I think. You think of Zavar. You think of his 00:16:48.250 --> 00:16:52.830 theory. That if you were to die now far enough 00:16:52.830 --> 00:16:57.350 along, your body would be forfeit. But your connection 00:16:57.350 --> 00:17:00.990 to Zomateshab would remain. He wants to create 00:17:00.990 --> 00:17:04.410 a vessel by killing Jules. Did you hear my hip 00:17:04.410 --> 00:17:09.980 crack? I did. That was gross. Wow. And Shelly 00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:15.039 kind of just shakes her head. But this is one 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.539 mystery I doubt I shall see solved. What about 00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:21.660 the mystery of Ahalan and Xena? Do you know when 00:17:21.660 --> 00:17:29.839 they'll awake? Awaken? Wake up. Keep trying. 00:17:30.099 --> 00:17:32.180 As you're talking, she's actually moving towards 00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:37.059 sort of opened way out. She stops at your words. 00:17:38.059 --> 00:17:40.420 is silent for a long moment, thinking things 00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:45.660 through. I do not know at what point this hold 00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:48.099 of my daughter -in -law and grandson will be 00:17:48.099 --> 00:17:51.359 broken. They were too close to wrath, too influenced. 00:17:52.380 --> 00:17:54.619 Both were altered by my spell in ways I could 00:17:54.619 --> 00:18:00.059 not predict. And they loved my son. And so they 00:18:00.059 --> 00:18:05.359 have been so fully taken by his curse. But if... 00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:11.650 No, no. When they awaken, please tell them that 00:18:11.650 --> 00:18:15.990 I am sorry for everything. They are all I have 00:18:15.990 --> 00:18:20.109 now. The last vestiges of my family. The last 00:18:20.109 --> 00:18:25.930 echoes of my husband. Tell them to live, to be 00:18:25.930 --> 00:18:30.109 happy, and she turns back to you with a sad smile 00:18:30.109 --> 00:18:35.250 touched by a light, ironic chuckle. And tell 00:18:35.250 --> 00:18:40.650 them... To forget me. What do you say to that? 00:18:43.450 --> 00:18:46.410 I'll never do that. We can't afford to forget 00:18:46.410 --> 00:18:51.230 you, Sholay. I fear very soon I will be the talk 00:18:51.230 --> 00:18:54.470 of all the conquered worlds. It will be dangerous 00:18:54.470 --> 00:18:58.930 to ally yourself with me then. Please, even if 00:18:58.930 --> 00:19:03.769 only out loud, speak against me and what I have 00:19:03.769 --> 00:19:09.019 done. I do not seek forgiveness nor redemption. 00:19:09.579 --> 00:19:15.519 There is none. I have killed many. But I will 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:21.019 do this because it is right. If you're going 00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:24.519 to do this, like I said, I need to prepare. Can 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.039 I expect to move freely throughout the kingdom? 00:19:28.019 --> 00:19:31.779 I do not know how the Dragon Clan will react 00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:35.109 when they remember my... Deception when they 00:19:35.109 --> 00:19:38.730 realize his last nine years of their conspiracy 00:19:38.730 --> 00:19:41.349 have been a lie. But I need time before the remembering. 00:19:42.049 --> 00:19:46.309 You will have time. An hour, two, perhaps longer. 00:19:47.109 --> 00:19:52.250 After that, I don't know what they will do. How 00:19:52.250 --> 00:19:56.170 they will react. It'll be on you to gain their 00:19:56.170 --> 00:19:59.509 trust again. But can I expect to leave this room 00:19:59.509 --> 00:20:03.450 now? They think we're leaving this morning. Will 00:20:03.450 --> 00:20:08.509 they let me go to the park? To where? The Park 00:20:08.509 --> 00:20:10.109 of the Ancestors. Oh, you want to go and set 00:20:10.109 --> 00:20:17.269 up there. Oh. I got spells, baby. Interesting. 00:20:18.369 --> 00:20:25.309 She nods. I will speak with them. But I must 00:20:25.309 --> 00:20:31.730 hurry. The Amethyst will be here shortly. I must 00:20:31.730 --> 00:20:34.250 make my move quickly before I can be disrupted. 00:20:35.589 --> 00:20:38.069 Is there any way we can communicate with you 00:20:38.069 --> 00:20:41.230 once you're off -world? I fear it will be fruitless. 00:20:42.130 --> 00:20:47.150 I will soon be arrested. If you can, try to send 00:20:47.150 --> 00:20:50.190 one final update to Dresden. He'll get it to 00:20:50.190 --> 00:20:59.390 me. Very well. Goodbye. Bletch. Jules. See you 00:20:59.390 --> 00:21:03.940 again. Let us hope so. And she steps out into 00:21:03.940 --> 00:21:06.380 the hall. Blanche bows deeply as she passes. 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:10.940 And she vanishes around the corner. And Sholay 00:21:10.940 --> 00:21:18.339 Brass is gone. I want to ask, after she leaves, 00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:21.299 you know you have a good amount of time before 00:21:21.299 --> 00:21:23.000 everyone remembers. You don't need to rush into 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.500 anything. And I'm curious, what is happening 00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:28.819 between Blanche and Jules here? What kind of 00:21:28.819 --> 00:21:32.920 tension is there? This... This was a hot debate. 00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:35.839 And in the end, Blanche, something you dearly 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:37.920 wanted was taken from you. You are now taking 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.400 a risk, forcing the world to take a risk that 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:44.559 you felt was wrong. This is the first time that 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.480 Blanche has ever spoken out against Jules because 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:55.160 she was largely dropped into this world, or not 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:59.319 this world, but into this adventure as like... 00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:05.460 uh a supporter of jewels so just like if you're 00:22:05.460 --> 00:22:07.740 on the battlefield and you give a command and 00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:13.480 your commanding officer gives a uh a you know 00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.140 they they can they they outrank you you know 00:22:16.140 --> 00:22:18.359 i mean so whatever they say goes and there is 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.039 a time to discuss that and to say hey was this 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:24.579 the right decision blah blah blah but it's not 00:22:24.579 --> 00:22:28.039 on the field of battle it's not then it's not 00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:31.920 now So you're just, like, compressing any of 00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:34.880 these feelings and just deciding, hey, if we're 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:35.940 going to fight, we're going to fight. It's time 00:22:35.940 --> 00:22:38.119 to focus up. Exactly. She's ready to prepare. 00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:41.440 If the fight's going to come, she wants to be 00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:47.240 ready. And going into it with a division is just 00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:50.779 going to make things worse. Hell yeah. I don't 00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:54.619 think Jules has given that disagreement any second 00:22:54.619 --> 00:22:58.079 thought. Blanche, what are your first moves of 00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.269 preparedness? when Blanche has the opportunity, 00:23:01.349 --> 00:23:05.609 she wants to head to the park. Perhaps you stand, 00:23:06.009 --> 00:23:10.529 begin to move out the door. I think over by you, 00:23:10.630 --> 00:23:14.269 Jules, Chester kind of stands up. Yo, Blanche! 00:23:14.849 --> 00:23:17.869 Wait up! And he kind of rushes over towards you, 00:23:17.910 --> 00:23:21.849 Blanche. He moves with you as you're kind of 00:23:21.849 --> 00:23:24.869 stepping out towards the hall and very kind of 00:23:24.869 --> 00:23:26.630 quietly kind of looks back towards you, Jules, 00:23:26.690 --> 00:23:28.769 and looks at you, Blanche. Hey, look, look, look, 00:23:28.769 --> 00:23:30.829 look. You know, that was kind of tense back there, 00:23:30.869 --> 00:23:34.450 right? But I just want to tell you, well, uh, 00:23:34.509 --> 00:23:38.029 I agree with you. Look, I'm not the same kid 00:23:38.029 --> 00:23:39.829 I was when this all started, all right? I get 00:23:39.829 --> 00:23:42.049 your perspective. Sometimes people gotta die. 00:23:42.650 --> 00:23:43.950 So you can protect the ones that really matter, 00:23:44.009 --> 00:23:47.190 right? But, uh, look, even if we did convince 00:23:47.190 --> 00:23:49.410 the lady, Jews were just gone, guns have killed, 00:23:49.490 --> 00:23:51.329 trying to save everyone anyway, right? He's special 00:23:51.329 --> 00:23:53.250 like that. We ain't gonna change his mind or 00:23:53.250 --> 00:23:55.230 nothing. He's the most stubborn guy I know, which 00:23:55.230 --> 00:23:57.170 is why it's just best to go along with him, right? 00:23:57.569 --> 00:23:59.680 Agree with him. And do what we gotta do to protect 00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:05.380 him. So, thanks for sticking, you know? Speaking 00:24:05.380 --> 00:24:09.500 of sticking, Chester, when our memories are restored 00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:15.039 and the Gwishin is revealed, all of our memories 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.779 will return to us. Is there anything you'd like 00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:21.660 to talk to me about? Something I can help you 00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:28.059 with? He just looks up to you as... Big gap -toothed 00:24:28.059 --> 00:24:34.819 grin. He doesn't look on his face. Nope. Blanche 00:24:34.819 --> 00:24:38.700 looks to Jules and speaks loudly over Chester's 00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:43.380 shoulder. Jules, I'm off to the park. I have 00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:48.700 some spellcraft to attend to. You're welcome 00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:51.940 to join, but that's where I'll be for the next 00:24:51.940 --> 00:24:54.660 hour or so. I was just about to say, I don't 00:24:54.660 --> 00:24:56.380 think it's a good time for any of us to be going 00:24:56.380 --> 00:24:58.960 out anywhere alone. Yeah, we're coming with you. 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:08.099 Akio, let's go. Yes, I would love a walk. Yeah, 00:25:08.099 --> 00:25:12.960 you need to poop too, huh? No. Well, yes. Now 00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:16.140 I do. Actually, as he's getting up, I think he'll... 00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:17.940 Blanche and Chester are more close to the door, 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:20.180 and Akio kind of was lying around. He gets up, 00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:21.900 and you kind of hear that, you know, little dog 00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:24.180 nails clacking on the tile as he kind of bounds 00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:29.539 over to you, Jules. And he looks up to you. Jules, 00:25:29.740 --> 00:25:35.039 by the way, I must say that I am very grateful 00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:38.019 to you. Blanche is the most like Master Ozen, 00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.680 and so her will must be the most right. But even 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.559 so, I did not want to abandon these people. I 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:47.579 did not want to abandon Arlon, who saved me. 00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:52.440 I am ashamed. Blanche is my master now. I should 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.880 not defy her or question her. Her path is mine 00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:01.539 to walk, but... Even so, I... I am happy she 00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:05.259 did not get her way in the end. I guess I am 00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:10.220 a pretty bad dog, after all. And though he said 00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:14.299 these words, he does not look admonished. His 00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:16.819 tail wags a little bit as he kind of turns away 00:26:16.819 --> 00:26:21.519 to go bounding after Blanche. You suck, David. 00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:25.940 You're a bad dog. Turning our own sidekicks against 00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:29.960 us. He thinks he can cause a division between 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:36.119 us, Jeremy. You guys move into the hall. You 00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.519 want to leave the palace and that... You were, 00:26:38.579 --> 00:26:40.400 well, Shirley did say on her way out, she would 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:42.799 make, you know, some, you know, remarks for you. 00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:43.960 You probably waited a minute before you gave 00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:46.140 her some time to do that. So as you go to leave, 00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:49.519 you move down the sort of back and sort of wing 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:54.200 here around this, this sort of rear ballroom. 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.500 And as you go further and further towards the 00:26:58.500 --> 00:27:01.619 sort of front of the palace, you begin to see 00:27:01.619 --> 00:27:06.140 actual guards standing within the halls. Guards 00:27:06.140 --> 00:27:09.940 that nod as you pass. Do not move to stop you. 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:16.319 But as you get to the hall that leads into the 00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:18.420 actual throne room itself, as you're about to 00:27:18.420 --> 00:27:21.759 make your way out sort of main exit, there is 00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.900 one figure that does stand in your path. An old 00:27:25.900 --> 00:27:30.299 hunched over dragonborn with a cane. You see 00:27:30.299 --> 00:27:35.140 Young Gi. He is waiting for you. His eyes follow 00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:39.279 you as he watches you approach. Blanche will 00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:42.240 walk right up to him and address him as she gets 00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:47.759 close. Hello, Master Yungi. Hello, Master Blanche. 00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:51.700 I am happy to see that you have made it through. 00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:55.660 I have not seen you since Hieronyx went quite 00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:59.279 mad in the hall. I apologize for not visiting 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:04.210 sooner. I was held. He kind of glances like, 00:28:04.230 --> 00:28:08.549 sort of a very heated look towards the throne 00:28:08.549 --> 00:28:13.190 room doors. It has been a tense time. I'm happy 00:28:13.190 --> 00:28:17.690 to see that you're no longer being held up. Tell 00:28:17.690 --> 00:28:21.109 me, I have heard that you are leaving this palace. 00:28:22.029 --> 00:28:26.230 Will you be returning? I hope to return, yes. 00:28:26.750 --> 00:28:31.630 And where is it that you travel to now? I have 00:28:31.630 --> 00:28:38.710 respects to pay. Do I tell him? She's going to 00:28:38.710 --> 00:28:40.150 leave it at that. She's going to say that she 00:28:40.150 --> 00:28:44.730 wants to pay her respects before she inevitably 00:28:44.730 --> 00:28:48.150 leaves the world. This world, anyway. Before 00:28:48.150 --> 00:29:01.099 I leave, I would like to pay my respects. The 00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:04.099 grave of Daewon, huh? I think that's where he 00:29:04.099 --> 00:29:06.299 would go with you saying respects to Pei. Sure. 00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:08.279 The last you talk to him, he doesn't know what 00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.059 you know. He knows that you are in on his conspiracy, 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:17.099 his sin. Where I'm going, I may find a way to 00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:21.900 restore honor to your name. To your soul. The 00:29:21.900 --> 00:29:25.220 claw reaches out and kind of presses over his 00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:31.150 scaly chest. This world holds many secrets that 00:29:31.150 --> 00:29:35.009 even you may not know. There is no honor for 00:29:35.009 --> 00:29:41.089 me, Blanche Trudeau. But if you will allow it, 00:29:41.109 --> 00:29:44.869 I would very much like to join you on whatever 00:29:44.869 --> 00:29:49.609 quest you are on. I hold some sway yet here in 00:29:49.609 --> 00:29:52.849 the palace, if I may be able to help you with 00:29:52.849 --> 00:29:56.490 my influence in any way. Too many have died, 00:29:56.650 --> 00:29:59.160 Master Yungi. I can't allow you to come with 00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:06.259 me. It will be dangerous. But if you have a seal, 00:30:06.460 --> 00:30:08.599 a blessing, something that could get us beyond 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:13.259 anyone who may try to impede us, that would be 00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:18.759 of most help to our mission. The Queen has been 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:20.980 assured that you will not speak of anything you 00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:26.769 have learned. Sholay has spoken for you. She 00:30:26.769 --> 00:30:28.670 has made a deal that she will leave this world 00:30:28.670 --> 00:30:32.089 immediately. Her presence has been causing quite 00:30:32.089 --> 00:30:36.549 a stir. And so you are given free reign already. 00:30:37.670 --> 00:30:44.690 That is the bargain she made. Then again, I must 00:30:44.690 --> 00:30:48.829 humbly refuse your company. Not for want, not 00:30:48.829 --> 00:30:52.089 for lack of want, but for desire to keep you 00:30:52.089 --> 00:30:56.569 safe. Your kindness is so ill -deserved. But 00:30:56.569 --> 00:31:00.650 I will accept it. Regardless, do take care of 00:31:00.650 --> 00:31:05.170 yourself. Blanche Trudeau. Jules. LaRoche. Chester. 00:31:06.789 --> 00:31:10.410 Meeps? Meeps? That's excellent. Good pronunciation. 00:31:10.769 --> 00:31:17.170 And Akio. Fine Akita warrior. Be careful. Perhaps 00:31:17.170 --> 00:31:20.609 we shall play again? I would very much like that. 00:31:21.430 --> 00:31:26.960 Very, very much. Blanche. puts a hand on his 00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:33.779 forearm you know as a tender gesture and walks 00:31:33.779 --> 00:31:39.440 by him hell yeah you leave the sea of dragons 00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:42.859 behind stepping out into the city a city that 00:31:42.859 --> 00:31:46.039 upon this new day looks so locked in a state 00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:48.740 of fear you remember seeing all these stoic faces 00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:50.980 yesterday just holding strong against this threat 00:31:52.009 --> 00:31:54.390 The guards you pass, the vendors in the street, 00:31:54.650 --> 00:31:58.849 the faces peeking out of, like, closed and boarded 00:31:58.849 --> 00:32:03.529 up windows. They are so scared. You were told 00:32:03.529 --> 00:32:07.309 things had gotten worse, that the zones of impact 00:32:07.309 --> 00:32:10.529 had gotten larger each time, that this thing 00:32:10.529 --> 00:32:13.869 is rapidly getting stronger, that Gwishin that 00:32:13.869 --> 00:32:17.069 were not under its control before now are, and 00:32:17.069 --> 00:32:20.900 they are going wild, empowered, that the Spirit 00:32:20.900 --> 00:32:23.619 arbiters of the city are being held just to deal 00:32:23.619 --> 00:32:26.859 with them. It is a dire situation, and you can 00:32:26.859 --> 00:32:30.619 really feel that now. The air is heavy, as if 00:32:30.619 --> 00:32:34.880 any moment this whole powder keg could explode. 00:32:35.500 --> 00:32:40.759 There's a certain walk that people can do, you 00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:45.380 know, people in power, and Blanche is trying 00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:52.759 to exude her... Her power and her control. You 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:55.660 know what I mean? She's trying to be a presence. 00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:00.460 She's holding her head high. She's not scowling. 00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:05.079 She's trying to be a visual representation of 00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:08.160 some sort of hope. Like maybe somebody has a 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:11.980 handle on what's going on here. Hell yeah. The 00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:17.380 fixers. You move quietly through these streets. 00:33:18.539 --> 00:33:24.279 Each step you take may be holding some impact 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:29.880 to those watching. Maybe you see fleeting somethings 00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:36.400 in their eyes. It's hard. So many lives. And 00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:39.980 Blanche, these people you want to inspire with 00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:44.220 your walk are the very people you are willing 00:33:44.220 --> 00:33:49.380 to throw to death. For the greater good. Hey, 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.240 the people in this vicinity probably could have 00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.799 been evacuated within a day. These ones are fine. 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:03.579 Steve will not be guilted. As you move towards 00:34:03.579 --> 00:34:06.880 these sort of great gates, these sort of long 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:12.059 black walls of the Park of the Elders, as you 00:34:12.059 --> 00:34:14.340 are about to vanish behind those walls and enter 00:34:14.340 --> 00:34:16.380 the park itself, you do notice something that's... 00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:19.139 Maybe not that notable, but I guess a little 00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:21.980 interesting, a little peculiar. You know, surely 00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:24.599 took the amethyst off world. It wouldn't have 00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:27.280 been scheduled for any time earlier this day. 00:34:28.219 --> 00:34:33.699 And yet you see it suddenly reappearing in the 00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:37.840 sky above. I'll go to that sound effect of the 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:44.440 quiet far away. Thanks, David. Yeah. And just 00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:47.989 starting to lower. I don't have time for this. 00:34:48.210 --> 00:34:51.769 You don't have time for this. It's like far away. 00:34:52.909 --> 00:34:54.730 Hours probably walking away. You have to go all 00:34:54.730 --> 00:34:55.670 the way down the bottom of the city and then 00:34:55.670 --> 00:34:58.210 all the way out across this great plain in front 00:34:58.210 --> 00:34:59.829 of the city. But just something interesting. 00:35:00.489 --> 00:35:02.969 So wait, you're telling me that it came back? 00:35:03.110 --> 00:35:05.349 It came back. That's all. I mean, it's not that 00:35:05.349 --> 00:35:08.190 weird. That's so weird. I don't have time for 00:35:08.190 --> 00:35:13.510 this. I got a spell to cast. You head to the 00:35:13.510 --> 00:35:18.079 park? Head into the park. All right. As you guys 00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:24.159 move into the park, into the foliage, looking 00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.500 out all the plates, all of these memorials engraved 00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:32.559 with the names of people Xole has killed, you 00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:38.199 now know. This, the site of her greatest crime, 00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.900 her greatest regret. You walk through this park 00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:47.530 and perhaps your minds... See something else. 00:35:47.550 --> 00:35:51.809 See yourselves walking through a district of 00:35:51.809 --> 00:35:59.869 a city in ruin. Smoke and ash and flames. Screaming 00:35:59.869 --> 00:36:05.090 and crying and dead bodies all over. Nine years 00:36:05.090 --> 00:36:08.929 ago. But now this place is revitalized. It is 00:36:08.929 --> 00:36:13.289 beautiful. And there at its center. Dominating 00:36:13.289 --> 00:36:16.070 the park is the statue of Queen Jinmei upon her 00:36:16.070 --> 00:36:19.369 throne. You pass the place where Kunonjun died. 00:36:20.329 --> 00:36:23.369 There are still specks of blood on the brush 00:36:23.369 --> 00:36:27.789 beneath where he hung from the tree. And you 00:36:27.789 --> 00:36:30.869 reach the place where Shoulei said the fight 00:36:30.869 --> 00:36:34.349 would take place. The place where you may call 00:36:34.349 --> 00:36:38.250 upon her son's spirit. Once you remember the 00:36:38.250 --> 00:36:42.449 place he was killed. In the middle of the Phoenix 00:36:42.449 --> 00:36:45.269 District. In the middle of the Park of the Elders. 00:36:46.369 --> 00:36:50.829 Beneath the shadow of the statue. What do you 00:36:50.829 --> 00:36:53.349 want to do here, Blanche? So you know how hard 00:36:53.349 --> 00:36:57.909 it is for us to get gold in this campaign? You 00:36:57.909 --> 00:36:59.929 got it sponsored. What happened? Oh, yeah, that's 00:36:59.929 --> 00:37:05.789 right. You suck. So every gold that I have is 00:37:05.789 --> 00:37:09.170 worth like four or five gold in any other campaign. 00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:12.840 Explain all I want to which gold you get for 00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:18.760 it. Blanche is going to activate her ring of 00:37:18.760 --> 00:37:24.340 spell storing. And I'm going to burn 200 gold. 00:37:24.579 --> 00:37:29.920 Whoa. To cast glyph of warding at fourth level. 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:34.940 That's crazy. What happens when you cast glyph 00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:40.150 of warding at fourth level. is you get to slot 00:37:40.150 --> 00:37:46.710 in a spell of the same level in that spell slot. 00:37:46.929 --> 00:37:52.409 Okay. So the fourth level spell that Blanche 00:37:52.409 --> 00:37:56.510 is going to set up in this trap is one that's 00:37:56.510 --> 00:37:59.789 familiar to Jules, and if he looks on, he might 00:37:59.789 --> 00:38:04.630 recognize some of the arcane runes. Phantasmal 00:38:04.630 --> 00:38:14.110 Killer. Ooh. Ooh. Okay, that's pretty cool. That's 00:38:14.110 --> 00:38:18.050 pretty cool. So Blanche will explain to the four 00:38:18.050 --> 00:38:21.230 of them as she's setting up the spell and she's 00:38:21.230 --> 00:38:26.269 conspiring. Give this area a wide bath, 20 feet 00:38:26.269 --> 00:38:32.610 at least. That's the activation zone of the spell. 00:38:33.289 --> 00:38:37.389 He'll have to... Well, how do I say in character 00:38:37.389 --> 00:38:40.849 fail a wisdom save? His wisdom will be tested. 00:38:41.550 --> 00:38:44.489 You know what? That's pretty good. That's pretty 00:38:44.489 --> 00:38:48.010 good. And as long as he cannot see through the 00:38:48.010 --> 00:38:51.090 ruse, at least at first, then, well, we'll get 00:38:51.090 --> 00:38:55.789 a head start on him. I love that. I would ask 00:38:55.789 --> 00:38:57.289 you where you want to place this. I'm going to 00:38:57.289 --> 00:39:00.210 wait until we have the map ready. And I do have 00:39:00.210 --> 00:39:04.349 the map. Nice. awesome and it's a rochelle sound 00:39:04.349 --> 00:39:08.349 pukey girl original it's been so long but but 00:39:08.349 --> 00:39:11.469 point of order didn't show like tell us where 00:39:11.469 --> 00:39:15.269 it was that he died yes so i have the actual 00:39:15.269 --> 00:39:16.989 like sort of area that you know it's gonna be 00:39:16.989 --> 00:39:19.590 somewhere right near the statue um but you can 00:39:19.590 --> 00:39:21.409 choose to place it like directly in front of 00:39:21.409 --> 00:39:23.409 it or anywhere once we have the map out well 00:39:23.409 --> 00:39:25.510 before we get into anything like next session 00:39:26.230 --> 00:39:28.070 First things first, we will get that spell in 00:39:28.070 --> 00:39:29.630 a spot that we can physically see. So you can 00:39:29.630 --> 00:39:31.789 kind of look at the terrain before you are married 00:39:31.789 --> 00:39:33.710 to a location for it. Okay. I'm pretty sure it's 00:39:33.710 --> 00:39:36.170 like a, I think it's a 20 foot diameter or a 00:39:36.170 --> 00:39:40.769 10 foot diameter. I'll look for it later. Hell 00:39:40.769 --> 00:39:42.469 yeah. Probably not important tonight. That's 00:39:42.469 --> 00:39:45.809 cool as hell though. Yeah. So this is what you're 00:39:45.809 --> 00:39:47.429 spending your time on. Just getting this set 00:39:47.429 --> 00:39:50.769 up. Jules, you're watching again. Like you probably 00:39:50.769 --> 00:39:53.510 do recognize the inscription going into the glyph. 00:39:54.510 --> 00:39:56.530 Is there anything you want to do? During this 00:39:56.530 --> 00:40:00.429 period of wait. I don't think so. I think in 00:40:00.429 --> 00:40:04.769 classic Jules form, he's just silent, waiting. 00:40:05.329 --> 00:40:10.389 Hell yeah. Side note, Phantasma Killer, it taps 00:40:10.389 --> 00:40:12.130 into the nightmares of the creature you can see 00:40:12.130 --> 00:40:14.070 and creates an illusion of its deepest fears. 00:40:14.889 --> 00:40:17.869 What is the deepest fear of a Rathlon? Holy shit. 00:40:18.030 --> 00:40:21.869 Right. We might just find out. That's terrifying. 00:40:22.429 --> 00:40:28.289 That's very, very fun. I think you see Chester 00:40:28.289 --> 00:40:30.510 and Akio just kind of pacing on either side of 00:40:30.510 --> 00:40:33.110 the statue and where this like battlefield could 00:40:33.110 --> 00:40:35.469 sort of happen. You've been here before. You 00:40:35.469 --> 00:40:37.190 fought here before. You don't remember it, but 00:40:37.190 --> 00:40:40.150 you fought in this very spot before. And so the 00:40:40.150 --> 00:40:42.449 two of them are kind of at full alert, moving 00:40:42.449 --> 00:40:48.489 around, looking for danger. But for now, all 00:40:48.489 --> 00:40:52.030 seems okay as you move closer and closer to that 00:40:52.030 --> 00:40:55.260 next... Point in time when this should happen 00:40:55.260 --> 00:41:00.320 again, towards noon. Let's cut away from that. 00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:07.000 Let's cut to Aurora Town. Let's cut to the crystal 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.699 amphitheater that stands at its center. Let's 00:41:10.699 --> 00:41:14.039 cut to Sholay in her human guise, standing upon 00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:17.039 the center platform of this amphitheater, before 00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:19.579 the crystalline, shining petals of the Master 00:41:19.579 --> 00:41:23.230 Node. She stares at a thing, frozen as if facing 00:41:23.230 --> 00:41:26.650 a dangerous predator. Her eyes glimmer with different 00:41:26.650 --> 00:41:28.630 colors as she looks at each and every petal. 00:41:28.849 --> 00:41:31.090 Each one shining with a different light, with 00:41:31.090 --> 00:41:35.130 a different gem, of a different world. With a 00:41:35.130 --> 00:41:38.610 deep breath, a hardening of features, she approaches. 00:41:39.730 --> 00:41:45.070 She reaches out. You smiled first. Presses her 00:41:45.070 --> 00:41:50.070 fingers onto the node, and she shudders. And 00:41:50.070 --> 00:41:54.710 just like that, it is done. We see Xolay step 00:41:54.710 --> 00:41:57.610 back, her hands falling to her sides, her shoulders 00:41:57.610 --> 00:42:01.050 slowly drop, her head extends upwards towards 00:42:01.050 --> 00:42:05.829 the sky, towards the fake sky above. And she 00:42:05.829 --> 00:42:08.489 closes her eyes, standing still in this quiet 00:42:08.489 --> 00:42:13.869 place, standing still as the worlds change. And 00:42:13.869 --> 00:42:16.900 we hear her voice. One that seems to ring through 00:42:16.900 --> 00:42:19.579 the empathy they're around, though as only a 00:42:19.579 --> 00:42:22.599 whisper. A voice that may only truly resound 00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:26.059 within Xolay's own mind. A voice that the old 00:42:26.059 --> 00:42:29.219 dragon barely remembers the sound and quality 00:42:29.219 --> 00:42:33.980 of. Time to rest, Xolay. You've done your part. 00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:39.019 So it's time to rest. And we see a light beam 00:42:39.019 --> 00:42:42.610 down on Xolay. reflected intensely in the crystal 00:42:42.610 --> 00:42:45.309 surface of the stage, and she opens her eyes 00:42:45.309 --> 00:42:49.550 to see Atash hovering above near the top of the 00:42:49.550 --> 00:42:55.389 open amphitheater. You were waiting for me. He 00:42:55.389 --> 00:43:00.130 really did plan for it all, didn't he? The angel 00:43:00.130 --> 00:43:03.170 king looks almost overwhelmed, his usual stoic 00:43:03.170 --> 00:43:05.389 expression showing cracks of dumbstruck awe. 00:43:05.510 --> 00:43:15.739 Just my memories. So, he spoke true. To use this 00:43:15.739 --> 00:43:19.139 power selfishly. To alter the minds of every 00:43:19.139 --> 00:43:21.820 being connected to the Citadel, even my own. 00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:26.119 You really are the monster I always knew you 00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:31.699 to be. And your own intentions are much more 00:43:31.699 --> 00:43:35.860 noble, I am sure. You know the Incarnates will 00:43:35.860 --> 00:43:38.920 never allow you to touch this power. I'm sure 00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:43.019 your master has already planned for that. I wonder 00:43:43.019 --> 00:43:47.480 what atrocities you will commit before this is 00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:50.559 all done. Angel King just bristles at these words, 00:43:50.619 --> 00:43:52.780 a surge of light coursing through his fiery wings. 00:43:52.940 --> 00:43:56.739 He seems to stutter for a moment, then regains 00:43:56.739 --> 00:44:02.440 his perfect composure. Sholing Brass, you are 00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:06.059 under arrest for mass murder, filicide, treason 00:44:06.059 --> 00:44:09.760 against the conquered worlds. And so much more. 00:44:10.980 --> 00:44:14.400 He pauses. His hand falls to the golden handle 00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:17.280 of the sword. At his hip, his eyes are burning. 00:44:18.019 --> 00:44:22.179 Will you come quietly to justice? Or will you 00:44:22.179 --> 00:44:27.340 attempt to fight me? And Sholi simply raises 00:44:27.340 --> 00:44:30.659 her hands in surrender, though her eyes show 00:44:30.659 --> 00:44:35.760 no submission. They remain smug, defiant. An 00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:37.570 expression that would... Be quite at home on 00:44:37.570 --> 00:44:41.750 the face of Jules Laroche, I dare say. As the 00:44:41.750 --> 00:44:43.809 Atash begin to descend, his approach is slow 00:44:43.809 --> 00:44:46.650 and cautious as he takes in Sholay's wry smile 00:44:46.650 --> 00:44:51.909 and hears her calmly speak. I will always fight 00:44:51.909 --> 00:44:56.210 you, Atash. Just not in the ways you expect. 00:44:57.849 --> 00:45:05.380 And back on Yanido, you remember. You remember 00:45:05.380 --> 00:45:12.179 Arathelon. Arathelon Brass. Arathelon the Supernova. 00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:15.420 You see him in snippets from the Crystal Network. 00:45:15.699 --> 00:45:19.420 A hulking brass half -dragon so similar in appearance 00:45:19.420 --> 00:45:22.579 to Arhalon. Great crests rising up on the side 00:45:22.579 --> 00:45:25.639 of his face. Scales gleaming under spotlights. 00:45:25.659 --> 00:45:29.840 A bright smiling of glistening razor teeth. What's 00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:33.800 his smiling of? Um, I don't know. A bright smile 00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:37.260 of glistening razor teeth. Yeah, that makes sense. 00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:41.400 Scarlet plate armor, billowing cape of swirling 00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:44.280 color made to look like a flood of magma. A great 00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:47.480 sword of raging fire. A flametongue, as it is 00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:50.559 known to be called. A warrior streaking down 00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.860 from the skies like a burning comet, crashing 00:45:52.860 --> 00:45:56.280 into the fray. A celebrity absolutely dominating 00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:58.320 the couch of the set of The Morning Jewel as 00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:01.380 he laughs heartily at flotation comments made 00:46:01.380 --> 00:46:04.960 by Fubo May. A hero standing before an audience 00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.519 of excited spectators and paparazzi guild members 00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:10.260 flexing and winking and posing for the masses. 00:46:10.380 --> 00:46:13.380 All of this overlaid by the voice of a reporter. 00:46:13.860 --> 00:46:16.139 Another incredible display by Rathlon the Supernova. 00:46:16.340 --> 00:46:18.460 The flame that has lit up the hearts and souls 00:46:18.460 --> 00:46:20.969 of so many through our conquered worlds. Little 00:46:20.969 --> 00:46:23.309 Jean Franklin you see, Blanche, playing with 00:46:23.309 --> 00:46:25.710 a figurine of this over -the -top hero, kind 00:46:25.710 --> 00:46:27.710 of bringing it down from the sky, landing on 00:46:27.710 --> 00:46:29.409 his other toys, knocking them aside, all these 00:46:29.409 --> 00:46:35.010 little sahagine miniatures. Taste the flames 00:46:35.010 --> 00:46:44.409 of righteousness, villain. Master Blanche. I'm 00:46:44.409 --> 00:46:47.590 going to be strong one day. Like him. Like him. 00:46:48.550 --> 00:46:54.500 And other. Darker memories for you, Jules. Jules, 00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:56.760 you see him standing in the doorway, leading 00:46:56.760 --> 00:46:59.500 out of a darkened chamber, where a circle of 00:46:59.500 --> 00:47:01.599 extinguished red candles release tiny trails 00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:06.260 of smoke. He stands beside your mother, two silhouettes 00:47:06.260 --> 00:47:08.059 against the only stream of light falling into 00:47:08.059 --> 00:47:12.260 the room. Your progeny disappoints. Calxania 00:47:12.260 --> 00:47:18.780 will be expecting more. Another memory. You feel 00:47:18.780 --> 00:47:22.280 him standing behind you, looming above you. You 00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:24.059 are in your mother's study, high up in the Tower 00:47:24.059 --> 00:47:27.119 of Authority. She stands before a black claw. 00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.760 The claw of a dead Dracon you know now, whose 00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:32.860 skeleton was the base for this impossibly tall 00:47:32.860 --> 00:47:36.119 structure you lived in. As you are pushed towards 00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:39.900 your mother, you look up to see Marathlon. His 00:47:39.900 --> 00:47:42.260 famous, ever -charming smile shines down on you 00:47:42.260 --> 00:47:47.099 beneath a monster's cruel eyes. Hungry. Callous. 00:47:47.739 --> 00:47:49.420 Though heat emanates through the armor pressed 00:47:49.420 --> 00:47:52.139 against your back, you feel only a deep coldness 00:47:52.139 --> 00:47:55.780 locked in that gaze. Until that gaze turns to 00:47:55.780 --> 00:47:58.659 your mother, the monster scoffing in reaction 00:47:58.659 --> 00:48:02.360 to your own defiant will towards her. To think 00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:05.780 you would need to take such measures. The child's 00:48:05.780 --> 00:48:08.199 defiance is a testament to your incompetence. 00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:12.079 And what of your own progeny? Calypsania seems 00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:14.099 to have no interest in moving her own plans forward. 00:48:14.730 --> 00:48:17.230 My progeny serves more purpose than altered. 00:48:17.769 --> 00:48:20.650 I will be very wary of disparaging the very shield 00:48:20.650 --> 00:48:25.869 that protects you. All these memories funneling 00:48:25.869 --> 00:48:29.590 into you. A being that you couldn't possibly 00:48:29.590 --> 00:48:33.309 forget. The worlds couldn't possibly forget. 00:48:34.030 --> 00:48:39.610 He was huge. He was one of the big ones. Number 00:48:39.610 --> 00:48:42.130 three in his prime, just beneath Ozen Stormeye. 00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:46.099 And as this pours into you, the shock that such 00:48:46.099 --> 00:48:50.519 a being could be erased entirely. The resources 00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:53.980 that must have been pulled to take every item, 00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:56.059 every action figure, every poster, everything 00:48:56.059 --> 00:48:59.300 they could to remove it before anyone else could 00:48:59.300 --> 00:49:05.739 remember. The task is monumental. Sholay's sin. 00:49:07.219 --> 00:49:11.840 Monumental. We cut away from you for a moment 00:49:11.840 --> 00:49:18.699 longer. We turn to the palace. We hear the sound 00:49:18.699 --> 00:49:24.039 of wood clattering against tile. As we see Yungi's 00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:26.000 cane falls to the ground, followed by the old 00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:31.039 dragonborn himself. Just collapses forward, shaking 00:49:31.039 --> 00:49:34.659 onto the ground, his fingers, claws going to 00:49:34.659 --> 00:49:37.880 his head. All around him, people looking around 00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:44.869 in awe, in horror. Looking towards the sky where 00:49:44.869 --> 00:49:47.789 Sholi had just left. Looking towards the Park 00:49:47.789 --> 00:49:49.949 of the Elders where something horrible that they 00:49:49.949 --> 00:49:51.969 couldn't quite remember has now come flashing 00:49:51.969 --> 00:49:56.130 back. We see Yungi just... I can't believe it. 00:49:56.550 --> 00:50:03.070 I can't believe it. It was all a lie. All fake. 00:50:03.510 --> 00:50:08.300 And as his gaze turns up... Towards this room 00:50:08.300 --> 00:50:10.739 of horrified people, as we hear the screams of 00:50:10.739 --> 00:50:13.400 rage from the queen in the room just beyond him, 00:50:13.619 --> 00:50:21.679 we see young Gia smiling. I am a good man. And 00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:28.579 we cut back to you in the park, in the shadow 00:50:28.579 --> 00:50:33.900 of the statue, in the place where you now can 00:50:33.900 --> 00:50:39.340 summon this force. You know his name, Arathelon 00:50:39.340 --> 00:50:43.980 Barass, Arathelon the Supernova. You hold his 00:50:43.980 --> 00:50:48.739 memory, Jules especially. You knew him as the 00:50:48.739 --> 00:50:53.380 monster he really was. You hear Blanche's scabbard 00:50:53.380 --> 00:50:58.599 as she unsheathes her sword and she turns towards 00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:05.949 Jules. I was selfish, Jules. I'm sorry. With 00:51:05.949 --> 00:51:11.469 the memories returned, I see that now. Speak 00:51:11.469 --> 00:51:16.110 to his memory, and let's, well, let's send him 00:51:16.110 --> 00:51:22.409 back. Yeah. All righty, Jules. Right here with 00:51:22.409 --> 00:51:24.570 you. I'll protect you no matter what, all right? 00:51:25.369 --> 00:51:29.750 Sidekick. Jules is looking down at Chester, and 00:51:29.750 --> 00:51:33.909 then he'll look up to Blanche. There ain't nothing 00:51:33.909 --> 00:51:37.530 to apologize for. And then he will turn toward 00:51:37.530 --> 00:51:43.489 the statue, take a step forward. Arathelon Brass, 00:51:43.650 --> 00:51:50.949 come out, come out, wherever you are. What memory 00:51:50.949 --> 00:51:55.449 do you hold to? What do you lock into your mind, 00:51:55.469 --> 00:51:57.809 into your heart as you speak these words? Was 00:51:57.809 --> 00:52:00.110 he there when she grabbed my hand and held my 00:52:00.110 --> 00:52:02.380 hand? He was holding you. He was the one holding? 00:52:02.539 --> 00:52:04.500 He was the one holding you behind, forcing your 00:52:04.500 --> 00:52:06.579 hand down as you felt the candle wax drip into 00:52:06.579 --> 00:52:08.579 your body. You felt the pain coursing through 00:52:08.579 --> 00:52:16.139 your body. Jules lifts up his hand. Try and finish 00:52:16.139 --> 00:52:28.659 it. I'm right here. Holy shit. A rumbling in 00:52:28.659 --> 00:52:39.820 the ground. A mist begins to pour in, obscuring 00:52:39.820 --> 00:52:42.559 the world around, obscuring the walls, the edges 00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:44.900 of your vision, obscuring everything but the 00:52:44.900 --> 00:52:49.800 shadow of the statue. In the mist, in a voice. 00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:13.440 It burns bright. My future was stolen. My dream 00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:20.159 destroyed. You see the mist coalescing around 00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:29.179 the statue. I wanted my name in life. And you 00:53:29.179 --> 00:53:33.949 see, almost like fireworks. Lights take to the 00:53:33.949 --> 00:53:35.510 air, bursting out from the cracks of the base 00:53:35.510 --> 00:53:38.829 of the statue, creating this shining name in 00:53:38.829 --> 00:53:46.170 the sky. Arathelon. I wanted my title chanted 00:53:46.170 --> 00:53:49.710 in the streets! And you see the mist around you, 00:53:49.730 --> 00:53:52.949 so they... Hearts shooting to the side, creating 00:53:52.949 --> 00:53:57.010 a clear point. And where it sort of lands, the 00:53:57.010 --> 00:53:59.590 edges of your vision, you can see it begins to 00:53:59.590 --> 00:54:03.219 take the shape of people. People of all types. 00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:06.659 People pumping their fists into the air and chanting. 00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:11.199 Supernova! Supernova! Supernova! Supernova! Supernova! 00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:19.380 Supernova! Statues in my image. With a cracking 00:54:19.380 --> 00:54:25.059 of stone. And the falling of dust. You see that 00:54:25.059 --> 00:54:30.909 great statue before you begins to... Chains its 00:54:30.909 --> 00:54:34.610 shape, begins to stand from its throne. You can 00:54:34.610 --> 00:54:37.769 see the dragonborn sort of tendrils in the back 00:54:37.769 --> 00:54:42.309 fall off, but great brass plates kind of jut 00:54:42.309 --> 00:54:46.889 out from the sides. You can see the shape of 00:54:46.889 --> 00:54:51.570 a great sword carves its way out from the base, 00:54:51.590 --> 00:54:55.869 from the throne, as the hand reaches up and lights 00:54:55.869 --> 00:55:00.849 a flame. You can see wisps of color run down 00:55:00.849 --> 00:55:04.530 a crack along the back, forming a cape very similar 00:55:04.530 --> 00:55:10.250 to magma. I wanted to be remembered forever. 00:55:10.710 --> 00:55:15.030 I gave up everything to this dream. My mother, 00:55:15.090 --> 00:55:20.530 my wife, my sons. All sparks before the blade 00:55:20.530 --> 00:55:28.090 of my ambition. And as this monstrosity, this 00:55:28.090 --> 00:55:32.349 statue stands tall, hulking above you, dominating 00:55:32.349 --> 00:55:39.909 this park. Cheer! Scream! You stand in the presence 00:55:39.909 --> 00:55:43.329 of he who could have been the hero of heroes. 00:55:43.409 --> 00:55:47.210 The greatest luminary to ever grace the world 00:55:47.210 --> 00:55:54.599 stage. Rathalon Brass, the supernova. When all 00:55:54.599 --> 00:56:01.199 is done, I'll carve my autograph into your smoldering 00:56:01.199 --> 00:56:05.980 bones. And we'll call it there.
