00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:38,760
Hello everybody and welcome to Songwoven, Ira Brin Dawnbreak!

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:45,480
Of course, I am your ever humble narrator Tim Don Tran, and I am joined by the ever

9
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:51,880
present, ever lovely, ever enduring two other people who will introduce themselves quickly

10
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,880
right at this moment, now!

11
00:00:54,880 --> 00:01:13,440
We're playing characters who you can see on the screen now for the first time.

12
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,440
We're going to war school.

13
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,280
War school, yay!

14
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,080
War school!

15
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,040
It's Jenny Emma.

16
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,040
Jenny Emma.

17
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,040
It's Emma.

18
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,040
Emma, Jenny.

19
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,040
Gemma.

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,040
Gemma.

21
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,040
Gemma is a name.

22
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,960
You're Tim.

23
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:39,840
So real quick everyone, this is our new series starring the three of us, Ira Brin Dawnbreak,

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,080
which you all know, which if you see our stream title, you'll know that it's a Fire Emblem

25
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:55,280
inspired TTRPG using the advanced fifth edition system.

26
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:02,720
We will be playing this series up until a certain point into which we will dismount

27
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:09,360
and jump right back into the Lanaya Expedition, which we left off at a good point on, right

28
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,360
guys?

29
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Mm-hmm.

30
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,640
If this is your first...

31
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:14,000
Not traumatized at all.

32
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:23,600
If this is your first series, just know that Lanaya Expedition ended very well and no one

33
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,480
was traumatized and none of that shit, none of that wacky trauma stuff happens in any

34
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,480
of these games.

35
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,840
We keep it nice things loosey goosey here.

36
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Very nice, very loose.

37
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,240
They don't call him Trauma Timmy for nothing.

38
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,720
They don't call him TT Trauma Timmy for nothing.

39
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,560
His initials stand for Trauma and more trauma.

40
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:53,120
Trauma, trauma.

41
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,960
That's why they call these TTRPGs, because they're mine.

42
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:07,840
But yeah, thank you so much for joining our new adventure with new characters, a new setting,

43
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,680
same world, different time period, a different place.

44
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:20,960
This game takes place 10 years after Lanaya Expedition started.

45
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:32,200
So we're going to see what happens in this little place in the little pocket of time.

46
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720
We are so, so very excited to show it to you.

47
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,720
Is there anything else we have to share?

48
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,640
You can follow along with my bingo card I made at 2 a.m. a month ago when I was thinking

49
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,760
about this game.

50
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,320
Some of them won't make sense to you because they're from prior games, because we have

51
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160
played in this setting a lot, Timmy and I.

52
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,680
Emma has not played in this setting.

53
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,720
There are very few people who have played in this setting, but I have played in it a

54
00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,720
lot.

55
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,160
And so some of them are characters who may or may not ever come into the game, but they

56
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,260
have been in this place before.

57
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:08,520
And that's why they're on my bingo card.

58
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520
And some of them are things that will make sense.

59
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,400
So I will probably forget to check it.

60
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,200
So if you want to follow along, you're welcome to.

61
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:21,280
Or if you want to make your own, like, oh my why seems to have, then please do and let

62
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:26,480
us know in the Discord or here if you get a bingo, if you make your own.

63
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,240
I really hope we become known as the stream that does bingo, the TTRPG stream with bingo.

64
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,200
Like we'll put like, like song movement is streaming TTRPG and bingo.

65
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,520
There'd be like a super emotional moment.

66
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,600
And Timmy's giving like an evil villain monologue.

67
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,840
And I'm and it's like all 10s, I'll be like, yes, bingo, bingo.

68
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:46,400
He threatened her with that.

69
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,400
Yeah.

70
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,880
And that's when you make it.

71
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,240
That's what we make a saving throw.

72
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,720
But yes, bingo, the first tabletop game.

73
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,320
We pay respects to the to the old year.

74
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:08,160
But yes, as Jenny said, me and Jenny, this is something that this this setting, much

75
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,600
like Linaya, but this one in particular holds a very special place in our heart.

76
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:20,120
This is something that me, Jenny, but especially every single person has ever played.

77
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:28,080
One of my games have all carved a, you know, have carved a piece of themselves into.

78
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,360
Emma Ramosco unknowingly has done that before as well, playing in the Black Cards Gallery

79
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,400
as Aura.

80
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,840
But my baby.

81
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:49,560
But yeah, every choice, everything, everything that any of the any of my players have ever

82
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:55,880
said, anything they have ever done, every every quirky action, every every political

83
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,880
assassination.

84
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:05,360
Everything that they have done has culminated into this shared space that we call Sandralor.

85
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:12,040
And I'm I am super blessed to have the most talented people with me to make this know

86
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:19,920
you to make this know you to make this to a collaborative effort to make this world.

87
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,120
And we are very excited to share some more with you guys.

88
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,480
All right.

89
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:32,280
But that said, is there anything else?

90
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:35,720
I better know if you if you get Bingo in the chat, you got a little snow if you get Bingo

91
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,240
is all I'm saying.

92
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Or if I forget one of them to mark one of mine or let you know to mark something because

93
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:51,640
I have a million tabs open right now with like lore documents and things.

94
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Many.

95
00:06:52,640 --> 00:07:01,440
OK, in that case, I'll begin.

96
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,000
And ironically, this is the pilot episode.

97
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,560
This is one of our shorter beginnings, probably because we didn't do any bits.

98
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,560
No bits.

99
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,560
No bits.

100
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,760
I'm sure you guys have a tattoo I got.

101
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,760
I swear to Christ.

102
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,760
Kate is in the chat.

103
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Hi Kate.

104
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Hi Kate.

105
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:28,760
Kate made our art for this game and all of our other ones.

106
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,760
So we're happy to see you, Kate.

107
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,760
Always love.

108
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,720
I finally remembered to give her the artist role on here.

109
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,600
She's got that icon.

110
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,600
She's an artist.

111
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,600
OK.

112
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,040
Everyone.

113
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:57,680
Let's jump into the very first session of Ivar Bryn Donbreak.

114
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:07,080
The year is 1471 PR or post reckoning.

115
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:12,760
As the tepid winds of the summer began to scatter, the emerald green fields began to

116
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:18,760
flourish at full bloom across the kingdom of Anor.

117
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:24,920
As the people of Anor celebrate the downturn of the year, the people pray that they may

118
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:33,600
realize their full potential, just as a tiny sapling hopes to one day grow into a great

119
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,800
world bearing tree.

120
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,800
The holy kingdom of Anor, said to be blessed and ordained by the very gods of the Norse

121
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:49,240
pantheon themselves, has existed for almost a millennium.

122
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:56,720
Established 985 years ago, the kingdom of Anor was raised from the cinders of the desolation,

123
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:04,000
the setting where a holy war took place between good and evil, a war between Anor's first

124
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,920
king and the abhorrent, abominable Ash Tyrant.

125
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:17,760
From the cinders rose a unitary monarchy, a kingdom split into five constituent regions,

126
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,840
with each territory divided among the first king's brotherhood.

127
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:27,600
Each region is lorded over by a supreme power known as the Lord Paramount, and all Lord

128
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:37,000
Paramounts answer to one central power, the one who wears the crown.

129
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,200
Onto what these territories are, what they entail, and what they contain, we will get

130
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,720
into that in due time.

131
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,880
For now, we set our sights somewhere else.

132
00:09:51,880 --> 00:10:00,160
But before we do that, I have a question for you. What shapes the immutable?

133
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,480
What moves the world?

134
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,160
What sparks the forge that is the will of man?

135
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:15,500
The will that, when exerted, can shape all lives, seen and unseen?

136
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:24,440
What form does a human will take when the human will is bursting and full bearing?

137
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,000
Fire.

138
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:40,440
Not to step on any toes on some other storytellers, but our story will begin, much like many other

139
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:48,040
stories, with fire.

140
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,880
Emma.

141
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,600
Fire.

142
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:01,000
I'm scared.

143
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,880
I'm scared.

144
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:14,360
Fire raged in the air, choking all matters of space and cognizance around you.

145
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:20,560
Above you, the petals of Lucia daisies mingled with the ashes and embers that stalked from

146
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:21,980
above.

147
00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:27,200
They clung to each other, and as the daisy petals lost more of their luster, they lost

148
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:32,360
their ability to fly in equal measure.

149
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:37,640
The petals, whose birthright was to take up love with the wind and share their breath

150
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:44,320
with it, were denied by the flame who raged about it.

151
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:52,760
This was the first act of war you've ever witnessed.

152
00:11:52,760 --> 00:12:03,320
As around you the fire rages on, you see, you recall seeing the people of your village,

153
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:11,200
of your small town, waddling about, running about, screaming, their arms waving in the

154
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,080
air as flames take them.

155
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:26,120
As Anarian soldiers, the very people who were sworn to protect you, take torches to your

156
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:35,240
homes, to your bastions that you have built for generations upon generations.

157
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:44,400
You were a young child, but this memory burns ever so brightly in your mind.

158
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:51,520
You feel the smell of brimstone and sulfur choke up your lungs.

159
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:59,280
The fleeting warmth of what you were sure to be a caring hand has left you.

160
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:05,380
It has dropped you at some point inside of this very building where the fire rages about

161
00:13:05,380 --> 00:13:08,240
you.

162
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:18,520
And of course, as the screams echo throughout your mind, you wait for it.

163
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:26,720
This always happens in this reoccurring vision that you have.

164
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:38,200
First, the appearance of this individual is heralded by the small whips and cracks of

165
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,160
fire.

166
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:51,960
A man drags himself through the barn door that you're situated in.

167
00:13:51,960 --> 00:14:06,840
Even though he is on fire, he does not scream, but instead his eyes lock onto yours.

168
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:20,320
His eyes that despite his flesh growing around it, growing, cindered and burnt, they maintain

169
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,200
their verdant green colors.

170
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,840
He reaches a hand out towards you and walks towards you.

171
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,920
You in a bundle cannot move.

172
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,320
You cannot scream.

173
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:43,760
If you scream, the last time this happened, the last five, six times this happened in

174
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:55,480
this reoccurring vision, when you scream, your lungs fill with soot, you choke.

175
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:07,880
He walks towards you, arms outstretched, fingers pointed directly at you, as if to take grasp.

176
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:18,920
Yeah, I missed this.

177
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:19,920
Just a baby.

178
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,600
I'm just a baby.

179
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:31,440
You suddenly, consciousness takes you.

180
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:40,760
You find yourself onto your feet as you cough, trying to get any semblance of imaginary soot

181
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,640
out of your throat.

182
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:52,840
Your feet quickly flee towards outside of your door, opening a door, going into another room

183
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:58,840
where instincts lead you to a bucket full of water.

184
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:09,000
The splash, the imaginary heat that was inside of that vision, it all felt so real.

185
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:16,680
You feel it, the pinpricks of your skin, the inside of your lungs.

186
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:22,240
Even though it's just a vision, even though it's just a dream, it all still feels so real.

187
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:29,880
As you rub your face with the cooling water that snaps you back to reality, that centers

188
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,720
you in this world.

189
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:45,840
Your eyes perk up, your heartbeat slows to a normal as you see your reflection in the

190
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,120
mirror.

191
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:56,400
Lucia, can you describe what you see in the mirror?

192
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,000
I love this intro so much.

193
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:11,840
You see a small, pale, young human woman gazing back at her, much like those JRPGs we love

194
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,120
so much.

195
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:23,560
She has a sweet, open, wide face with porcelain clear skin, short, curly, wavy pink hair that

196
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:32,720
curls and bounces as she walks, occasionally held back by a bandana, and bright turquoise

197
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,320
inquisitive eyes that blink back.

198
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:47,040
She almost looks kind of doll-like in her petite little stature, a face and a disposition

199
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:54,960
that one would never suspect houses and hides all these dark visions and thoughts.

200
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:05,240
And you see she tries to give herself a little smile to perk herself up in the mirror.

201
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:19,280
As you exert your will with a smile, as the lips crest up, and you realize that you are

202
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:28,600
once again in this wonderful world that you live in, in this wonderful kingdom that saved

203
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,440
you from all of that.

204
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:46,440
You hear in the distance the clattering of something, of some kind of ceramic ware falling.

205
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:52,040
And you hear, oh dear.

206
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,040
Oh no!

207
00:18:54,040 --> 00:19:00,120
I think she'll kind of like give her cheeks a little quick pat just to get ready for the

208
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:03,640
day, and she'll peek over in the other room.

209
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,320
Did you drop something?

210
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:18,440
As your head peeks out into the kitchen, you see before you the man you address, currently

211
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:26,120
hunched over a small mess that he's currently organizing with that ginger care that you

212
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,280
know him for.

213
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:37,080
You see an older man, what's sort of, his hair used to be much more vibrant and brighter

214
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:47,680
in color, but now it's dull to sort of a, to more of a grayed out sort of color.

215
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:59,600
He wears a robe decorated with the many insignias of the gods, of the Norse pantheon, a scale,

216
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,320
a hammer, a raven.

217
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:16,640
You see Arnalda Lusardi, and he just goes, oh, did I wake you, Petal?

218
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,240
What about that?

219
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,640
He calls her Petal, I'm gonna cry.

220
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,500
She goes, oh, I was up anyway, here, let me fix that for you.

221
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:29,200
And she's gonna go over and start to clean it up and pick up, because he's older, he

222
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,480
shouldn't have to lean over.

223
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,480
So she's gonna start cleaning it, picking up.

224
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,360
Oh, Petal, you don't have to pick up after me.

225
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:40,760
Oh, come on, it's good for me to stretch my legs.

226
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,760
Besides, it's a beautiful day outside.

227
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,440
That it is.

228
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,840
That it is.

229
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:58,360
He picks, as you help him pick everything up, and the two of you stand up, the two of

230
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:05,800
you share this, this nod of, this reassuring nod, like, yeah, we did something.

231
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:13,320
He's always, he was always a strange, objectively speaking, a strange man.

232
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:22,600
A man who, before you came into his life, had lived by his lonesome for many, many years.

233
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:31,720
When you were plucked from that battlefield, the word was, he saw you.

234
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:37,920
And his heart had melted.

235
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:45,440
He picks up the little, the small tray of, the small assortment of, like, water bearing

236
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:51,000
pots and such, and places it to the side on a table.

237
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:59,480
You live in this nice little, this humble cottage on a verdant green field inside of

238
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:10,280
the secret district of the capital city of Anor, known as Tokor.

239
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:20,080
He just goes, I was just getting everything ready for our, for our prayers this morning.

240
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,080
Are you, yeah.

241
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,840
Are you all right, dear?

242
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,840
Of course.

243
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,640
You know, I was thinking.

244
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Sometimes she's like, kind of like trying to piece the little broken pieces together

245
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,720
of the bowl on the table.

246
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:40,920
Sometimes the gods give us challenges and, oh no, are you sick?

247
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,920
Go on, Petal, I'm sorry.

248
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,440
No, no, no, come on, come sit down.

249
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:52,440
And she's going to completely stop her chattering and lead him to a chair and gently cast, hold

250
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,200
on, what am I going to, cure wounds.

251
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:03,960
And she'll gently, you know, warm her hands together, give a little blow into them as

252
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,720
she places them gently on the side of his throat to heal his little cough.

253
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:18,440
As the soothing energy innervates from your hands and onto him, he makes a point to smile

254
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,440
kindly.

255
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:26,440
And he goes, thank you, Petal.

256
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,760
Of course.

257
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:35,280
After all, how can we praise the gods if you're hacking up along the whole time?

258
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:45,720
She gives you a wink.

259
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:54,960
He pauses for just a moment, but he looks up to you with those kind of droopy but still

260
00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:00,320
bright eyes of his.

261
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:07,680
They have grown a bit darker over the years.

262
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:15,560
And you do know that his strength has waned, especially over the previous year.

263
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,640
No, I'm going to keep him alive.

264
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,880
He will never die.

265
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,880
He will never die.

266
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:29,440
He just goes, not for Shadow.

267
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:40,040
He just goes, well, since you've gotten me all pepped up again, and since we've gotten

268
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:48,680
almost everything gathered for the open air, why don't we go ahead and head out?

269
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,120
It's my favorite kind of prayer.

270
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:58,840
As she grabs a little picnic basket that has a fresh loaf of bread wrapped in it, a nice

271
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:04,920
chunk of cheese, they're pulling together this cute little parcel of goods that they

272
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,280
use.

273
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:13,040
Very simple, but to them, to her, it's her favorite time of the year.

274
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:21,680
He stands too, and normally you would always volunteer to carry the basket yourself, and

275
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,680
he would always chuckle mirthfully and let you have it.

276
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:37,200
In this case, as you carry the basket with your usual assortment, you see he walks over

277
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,400
to another basket.

278
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:50,040
You have baskets stacked next to the doorway, and he reaches over and grabs another one

279
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,600
that's currently covered in some sort of cloth.

280
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,440
Oh, I can hold that one for you.

281
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,920
Don't worry about it.

282
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,880
Oh, please.

283
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,240
This one's for me.

284
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,240
Consider it a surprise.

285
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,440
Oh, I do love surprises.

286
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,720
I know, Petal.

287
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,360
I know.

288
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:20,320
Well, just yesterday, I found a blueberry that was red.

289
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,560
What better surprise can you get than that?

290
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:23,560
A red berry?

291
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,560
You just can't.

292
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,560
Yeah.

293
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,040
A very first of its kind.

294
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,320
Yeah, or it might have been a strawberry, but I wasn't sure.

295
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,920
Either way, I thought it was a really cool surprise.

296
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,920
No, no, no, no.

297
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,840
You certainly would have known it was a strawberry.

298
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,840
I would have known exactly.

299
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:45,600
That's right, so it was, the gods must have blessed me and sent me a sign.

300
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,600
She's an idiot, guys.

301
00:26:46,600 --> 00:27:01,040
Track makers, from what I've seen, Lucia is me.

302
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,320
Warning you guys in advance, she is toxically positive.

303
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,400
By the nine, a red berry.

304
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,320
I always knew you were capable of miracles.

305
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,520
I just thank Odin's wisdom for that I was able to even notice in the first place.

306
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,400
Thank the Allfather.

307
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Thank the Allfather.

308
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,000
Thank you, Mr. Wednesday.

309
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Thanks Mr. Wednesday.

310
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Going to war school is going to be great, guys.

311
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,920
Going to war school is going to be so much fun.

312
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,440
I can't wait to kill people.

313
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:52,080
He shifts, walking in half steps over to the front door and he just takes it open.

314
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,080
The sweet air of jam on the inside.

315
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:02,960
Arnaldo was always one to make jams out of figs and different fruits and take you to

316
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:10,760
go pick stuff with him and pass out the gems out to people within the neighborhood.

317
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:19,360
The smell of the sweetness, the sugar on the inside of fermenting berries and such quickly

318
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:31,220
leaves the house as the cool spring air of the outside flows in.

319
00:28:31,220 --> 00:28:37,880
You make your way out through the cobblestone streets of the secret district.

320
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,400
Good morning.

321
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,680
Morning.

322
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,040
Praise the Allfather.

323
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Praise the Allfather.

324
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,040
Let's go.

325
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,040
You walk through the college.

326
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,040
Good morning, Belle.

327
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,040
Where are you off to?

328
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,040
The church?

329
00:28:51,040 --> 00:29:09,760
I just read a wonderful story about a beanstalk.

330
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,760
This is the opening to a musical.

331
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,760
Good morning.

332
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,760
What are the opening to the musical?

333
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:14,760
Good morning, Arnaldo.

334
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:35,120
The music is so religious.

335
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:41,240
You begin to make tracks throughout the secret district, a district within the capital city

336
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:47,200
dedicated to the many dwells of the Asatru ministry.

337
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:53,400
The Asatru ministry, of course, being the big religion, the big religious organization

338
00:29:53,400 --> 00:30:03,840
that compares in power to the crown, that ordains the nobles throughout the entirety

339
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,400
of the region.

340
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:13,080
The very reason why everything in the Noor is the way it is.

341
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,800
They understand the God's blessings more than anyone.

342
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,960
They study it their whole lives.

343
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,720
They are dedicated to it.

344
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:28,960
And that is why they are the powers, the powers that be.

345
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:39,920
In this entire neighborhood are dwells, little houses of people that are dedicated to the

346
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,400
Norse religion.

347
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:50,800
Normally, dwells are an assortment of different families.

348
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:56,280
It could be one house, it could be two houses, three.

349
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:06,480
But yours has the unusual distinction of being one man, a goathe or godman, the leader of

350
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,040
a dwell, and one follower.

351
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:20,120
You are a small but humble and very moving unit.

352
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,240
Dwell Busardi.

353
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:32,680
Trekking through the tight, compact cobblestone streets of the secret district, you, of course,

354
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:42,400
wave hi to the many neighbors that you've shared this place of living with for many,

355
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,760
many years.

356
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:53,200
But your destination is to the pledging fields, the verdant green fields located on the other

357
00:31:53,200 --> 00:32:01,800
side of the city, dedicated to the open air prayers of that anybody can go onto.

358
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:12,880
A very picturesque, beautiful landscape, just a field in which the wind feels at its fullest.

359
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:24,600
You enter into the grand city that is Tikor, a far cry from the humble little neighborhood

360
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:34,840
that you're in, tall stone buildings, but still the same statues of the gods that you're

361
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:42,480
dedicated to are around the Allfather, the one-eyed man, two ravens on his shoulder holding

362
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,960
a spear.

363
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:53,920
You see Thor with his rotund belly hanging out, but unmistakable mule nearby his side.

364
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:59,180
As you begin to blend in within more of the general population of the people who aren't

365
00:32:59,180 --> 00:33:07,240
as dedicated but are still thankful nonetheless, you stop by a typical location called Sorceress

366
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:18,000
Sourdough, where a family friend, a purple teetling named Vexia, always has a loaf of

367
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,240
bread to give away.

368
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:27,360
And as you come by, there she is, waiting already as the sweet air of her bakery is

369
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,480
leaving the door.

370
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,320
She just goes, good morning to both of you.

371
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,200
Blessed day, Vexia, what do you have today that's super special?

372
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,880
I can't help feeling that it's going to be a really important day.

373
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,000
A super special day.

374
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:52,200
Well, I got you a freshly baked sourdough loaf as she just presents the same thing that

375
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,200
she's given you.

376
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,200
Oh my goodness.

377
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,200
This one is so special.

378
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,200
I've never seen anything like it before.

379
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,200
Thank you so much, Vexia.

380
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,200
I'm so glad you're here.

381
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:59,200
I'm so glad you're here.

382
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:05,520
I've never seen anything like it before.

383
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,920
Well this one's super special because I was thinking about it.

384
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,720
You weren't thinking about us before.

385
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:16,120
What a blessed gift.

386
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:26,320
She completely goes over her head and she goes, we are so blessed for this gift today.

387
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,400
Thank you so much, here, for all your troubles.

388
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:40,000
And she'll take out one of the jars of preserves and swap it out as an exchange because I don't

389
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,600
think they have much money.

390
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:48,560
As the planned exchange, because this is exactly why she does it, happens.

391
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,400
She takes the gem, she just goes, you really didn't have to.

392
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:58,600
Thanks to Arnalda with a knowing look, but thank you so much.

393
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,220
You're growing into a wonderful young lady, Lucia.

394
00:35:03,220 --> 00:35:09,800
She just kind of like beams and you know, the little anime girl hands to the, you know,

395
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,960
I'm doing my best.

396
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,880
Gives you a thumbs up.

397
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,600
Not as devout as you, but she's like, I like your energy.

398
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,760
She's doing, she's doing, good energy, kid.

399
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:30,800
A little bit of a freak, but keep going.

400
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:36,160
The two of you continue on.

401
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,760
The morning is wonderful.

402
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,360
The people are out.

403
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,680
The place is in full bloom.

404
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,180
Tall, important administrative buildings pass you by.

405
00:35:47,180 --> 00:35:48,660
You don't know what's inside of those.

406
00:35:48,660 --> 00:35:53,280
You don't know the business that people conduct inside of those.

407
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,780
There are many storefronts and such, which, you know, so curious things that you've always

408
00:35:57,780 --> 00:36:04,860
been curious about, but have never really, have never really entered.

409
00:36:04,860 --> 00:36:06,800
Not through any restrictions, mind you.

410
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:17,340
It's just, it's just been a fair, it's just been a life that's been based around a cycle.

411
00:36:17,340 --> 00:36:23,400
You can't, you can't help but see that the many, the many lives of the people, the people

412
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:32,340
around you, you see a dragonborn and a small, a small gnome share a kiss.

413
00:36:32,340 --> 00:36:36,760
You see people with spell, people with these spell books and long robes that look like

414
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:45,080
the robes your, your, your godman wears, but they don't have any of the religious symbols

415
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,400
hanging on them.

416
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,880
They also carry on the strange wooden sticks.

417
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:59,640
These guards in these large silver armor wearing these large swords on their side always, always

418
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:00,640
walk by.

419
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,800
And they were scared.

420
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:08,720
You remember you were really scared of them at first, but you were eventually led to believe

421
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:10,880
that they were here to protect you.

422
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,060
And then they became less scary.

423
00:37:15,060 --> 00:37:23,360
Finally walking through the city, the fields come into view.

424
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:32,400
You see the flowing, you see in this, in this large hump of land, verdant green fields with

425
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,640
a, with a small stream flowing through it.

426
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,800
What's at the end of the stream?

427
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,920
What's at the end of this river?

428
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:40,920
You don't know.

429
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,280
It goes very long.

430
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,000
You might've followed it at one point, but then the distance away from home might've

431
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,080
been a little bit too scary.

432
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:52,760
It stretches into the horizon.

433
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:58,760
It goes into the trees of the forest and extends beyond.

434
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:09,480
You don't know much of the world that extends beyond this place, but you're happy.

435
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,480
Ignorance is bliss.

436
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:22,360
After a while, as you walk out into the fields, finally stepping onto the familiar crunches

437
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,680
of grass, you hear,

438
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,880
Oh,

439
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,160
Oh,

440
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,920
Are you doing okay?

441
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,620
Did my spell not, did that not work?

442
00:38:39,620 --> 00:38:41,520
She turns back, like a little confused.

443
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,200
I'm all right, paddle.

444
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:50,960
It's just a little bit of a, a little bit of a hiccup here.

445
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,880
Why don't we set, why don't we set up near the stream?

446
00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:02,320
Okay, but as soon as we get some honey, you got to have to start drinking that stuff like

447
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,320
raw.

448
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,440
Like, I don't even mean like putting it in your tea.

449
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,720
Like I need you to like start guzzling that honey so that your throat is going to be like

450
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:15,200
all nice and warm and cozy and so that you don't have to worry about coughing anymore.

451
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,200
So I think you should do that when we sit down.

452
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:22,320
I believe if I started chugging honey, I would have more problems to worry about actually.

453
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:23,320
Really?

454
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,320
Hmm.

455
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,960
When I did it at work last time, but I guess you're right.

456
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,960
Oh dear.

457
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:39,600
Well, if I'm sure to approach something like chugging honey with as much spirit as you,

458
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,840
then perhaps I could accomplish such a task.

459
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,280
Maybe pray to Idoon once in a while.

460
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,960
The power of youth will get you there.

461
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:56,480
Ah yes, youth, I could use some of that.

462
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:02,920
But it seems like you have it in full bloom.

463
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,960
Just enough for the both of us.

464
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:12,600
I'll always make sure to have enough for you.

465
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaking of youth, as he starts setting it up, I've been pondering, Petal.

466
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:28,840
He takes a breath.

467
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:41,640
But before we get to that actually, he unfurls the cloth on the basket and he reaches into

468
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:55,880
it gingerly and you see he pulls out a small toy boat.

469
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:04,120
And he just goes, Tinkerton Guild, they stopped by to thank us for the service we did for

470
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,880
them cleaning up the yard the other day.

471
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,720
And they gave this to us.

472
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:14,200
Wow.

473
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,920
It's incredible.

474
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:17,920
Come here.

475
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,720
Come here, dear.

476
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:21,380
She'll kind of like slide over.

477
00:41:21,380 --> 00:41:25,220
And yet again, like she's a young woman, but she acts like a child.

478
00:41:25,220 --> 00:41:28,200
Like it's a little odd.

479
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:34,680
She just goes, he just goes, here, take hold of it.

480
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:35,680
Okay.

481
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,200
What do I do?

482
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,160
I want you to figure that out yourself.

483
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:43,160
Use your eyes.

484
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,160
Use your mind.

485
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,080
Let curiosity rove over.

486
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:54,520
Let yourself discover the nooks and crannies of this.

487
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,200
Wow.

488
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:02,000
I know what a boat is, but maybe this is a special kind of boat.

489
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:09,440
And maybe this boat can fly as she starts to kind of like, you know, float the air as

490
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:10,440
if it's powered by magic.

491
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,680
And it can go to all the different worlds and all the different lands and see everything

492
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,320
from high up in this boat.

493
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,720
Would you like that?

494
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:25,840
Like what?

495
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,320
And she'll turn back around, you know, a little confused with the boat still in her hand,

496
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,400
like mid swoop.

497
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,560
To what you said this morning.

498
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,680
To stretch your legs.

499
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:52,040
But not within our home, but the places beyond.

500
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:56,240
I have thought about it.

501
00:42:56,240 --> 00:43:02,000
But would we be able to have our picnics?

502
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,800
I suppose those would have to take a pause.

503
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:15,080
But oh no.

504
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:19,880
And she's going to immediately drop the boat and, you know, come down to you and yet again

505
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:25,240
blow little soft air to her hand, warm them up and cast another healing word.

506
00:43:25,240 --> 00:43:34,480
Before you cast it, his hand gently grips yours, halting the cast, halting the somatic.

507
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:43,200
And he just gently puts a hand on your shoulder and slowly sinks to his knees.

508
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,120
Yeah.

509
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:54,840
He reaches for the boat and you see it's just out of his reach.

510
00:43:54,840 --> 00:44:04,500
And as he leans forward, you hear and he leans back.

511
00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:08,640
You could tell that even that exertion hurt him a little bit.

512
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,360
Why isn't my magic working?

513
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,920
Can you take hold of the boat there?

514
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,480
Okay, but my spells normally work.

515
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,520
Maybe I did so if I pray hard enough, maybe it will be better next time.

516
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,120
And she picks up the boat, the back of your hand.

517
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:34,840
He gently brushes away a strand of hair from the side of your face.

518
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:45,960
He just goes, no, with your eyes and feel free to use your hands as well.

519
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:54,640
I want you to find a little secret, a little secret on this boat.

520
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,400
You have a natural curiosity.

521
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,400
It lets you to find a red berry of all things.

522
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:06,520
Use that to scout about, see what's interesting on this.

523
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:11,680
Well, it's not that it can fly.

524
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:17,160
And she's going to cast, like with her little pointer finger, the tip of her finger, she's

525
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:23,640
going to cast light so that she can kind of look into the boat with the light to look

526
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,140
in the nooks and crannies.

527
00:45:25,140 --> 00:45:28,960
And she twists it all around as she looks for the surprise.

528
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,680
Make an investigation check with advantage.

529
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:34,040
First roll.

530
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,040
First roll.

531
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,720
Don't fuck it up.

532
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:43,880
Roll with advantage.

533
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,800
That would be, oh no, hold on.

534
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,320
I can't see my sheet.

535
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:54,040
Well, so I'm confused what it did on my thing.

536
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,720
Oh, so you have to change the settings on the sheet manually.

537
00:45:57,720 --> 00:45:59,680
I got you, but you rolled a 14.

538
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:00,680
A 14.

539
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:01,680
Okay, cool.

540
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:08,400
So that was at advantage because I also see a nat one on there, which would be fair.

541
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,680
Okay.

542
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:15,160
As you look it over with the assistance of light at your fingertips, you notice that

543
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:23,720
on the very side, on the very side of the ship, in hindsight, it's so obvious.

544
00:46:23,720 --> 00:46:27,240
As you kind of narrow your perspective, you notice this very obvious thing in front of

545
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:28,240
you.

546
00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:35,400
There is a small sort of like cog on the side that seems to be outstretched from the rest

547
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,480
of the structure.

548
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,040
Oh, you tinkerers, I should have known.

549
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,900
And she's going to start to turn the cog.

550
00:46:46,900 --> 00:46:57,040
As you turn the cog, it gets a bit harder as it keeps going, as you begin to wind up

551
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,320
this boat.

552
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,680
This boat, which has wheels, like sort of like water wheels on the side, as you let

553
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:12,800
go of the cog eventually as you wind it up, there's a surprise as you hear this machination

554
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:22,800
in front of you, world to life, in your hand as the wheels on the side begin to turn.

555
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:27,320
You see Arnalda smile.

556
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,320
Any gestures to the lake?

557
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:35,680
Does it move?

558
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:41,360
And she jumps up and sprints over to the water to put it gently down in as the cogs are still

559
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,800
worrying.

560
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:51,940
The wheels move in tandem as it begins to move slowly, ever so slowly downstream, moving

561
00:47:51,940 --> 00:47:58,360
by itself, but also assisted by the gentle down current.

562
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:06,520
As you watch it move, you notice that it's getting a little bit too far out of reach.

563
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,440
Uh oh, we've come back.

564
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:19,400
As that happens, a hand is gently placed against your shoulder and he goes, no, let it be.

565
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,720
But the boat.

566
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:29,760
Boats are not made to stay in one place.

567
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:37,560
It is where it's supposed to be, in the water, moving wherever the streams take it.

568
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:43,760
Seems kind of dangerous to me.

569
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,960
Yes.

570
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:59,680
But danger, uncertainty, makes for a full life.

571
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:06,720
The harbors are the ships at its safest, but that's not what ships are for.

572
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:13,960
That's a cool quote.

573
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,600
I know I made it.

574
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:16,600
I know.

575
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,320
I feel like we should put it on the plaque in our house or something.

576
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:21,320
Perhaps.

577
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:22,320
Yeah.

578
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,720
If the time comes for it.

579
00:49:25,720 --> 00:49:34,560
And you watch as this toy boat leaves the stream.

580
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:40,600
It leaves downwards, getting farther away from you.

581
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,240
Scrunchy face on screen.

582
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:50,160
Oh, I feel the same, dear.

583
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:55,080
To hold something so precious to me.

584
00:49:55,080 --> 00:50:04,640
But perhaps it's better if you allow things to go on their intended paths.

585
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,400
Here.

586
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,040
Let me pour you a cup.

587
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:19,880
I'm just going to put honey in your cup.

588
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:25,840
Can I ask for a small bit of mercy and mix up even a little smidge of water?

589
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,200
By Thor's hammer, it's granted.

590
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:34,760
Thank you, Thor's hammer.

591
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:41,480
He begins to pour and shake a little bit, but you learn your pouring technique from

592
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:48,520
him, a smooth stream nonetheless.

593
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:56,600
In the teapots that he crafted on his own, as he gently picks up the one that looks like

594
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:08,320
an elephant and pours it in and puts it off to the side, he takes a deep breath as the

595
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:15,600
both of you are kneeling and you know that it's time, with this deep breath, you know

596
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:21,160
that it's time to take in a prayer.

597
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:27,720
Open air prayers are prayers that take place in these open fields.

598
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:34,360
You have some kind of feast with someone and you dedicate this feast in thanks to the Norse

599
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,840
gods.

600
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:46,080
The ones that you and Arnald have are silent, quiet.

601
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:56,240
It is the both of you with your arms outstretched, head, chin tilted up, allowing the winds to

602
00:51:56,240 --> 00:52:06,200
blow into you to take any of your prayers that you utter in your mind outwards.

603
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:21,000
As the wind blows gently, as your arms outstretched to the side, as you begin to give your thanks,

604
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:28,120
you feel it, this connection to the wind, tangible, it's something that you've tried

605
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:34,680
to explain to other people, but they've never gotten it.

606
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:50,520
It is, you feel a confluence, the joining of two rivers, of two streams, you, your choices,

607
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:56,800
everything has led you to here and to the world around you.

608
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:08,080
There's this ethereality, this outwardness that you always feel as you feel deeply connected

609
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,840
to the wind.

610
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,680
Few things go through your mind.

611
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,240
You pick, there's these things that you sort of cherry pick, the things that you grab out

612
00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:20,080
of the ether.

613
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:31,080
You hear a prayer for a healthy child, a prayer for the return, the safe return of a wife

614
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:46,800
from sea, a warrior's a prayer to survive a battle and if not to have a glorious death.

615
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:58,160
You pick up these things, but you always have the choice, one thing among these things,

616
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:07,880
to zero in on it, to sort of get a, again, a deeper understanding, more clarity on something.

617
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:13,920
During this, during this particular prayer, as the clean winds of the plains fill your

618
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:24,040
lungs, you catch a small hint of soot.

619
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:31,080
It catches your lungs, just for a second.

620
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:46,680
As your, and as your eyes open, you look up into the sky, a red sky, dawn touched, a dawn

621
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,760
touched sky.

622
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,040
The sky was blue just a moment ago.

623
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:53,880
This must be a result of your prayers.

624
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,360
This must be a vision.

625
00:54:55,360 --> 00:55:00,920
Must be one of the many visions you receive.

626
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:15,120
But what you see in this red sky, the shape of black breaks into the dawn, spirals into

627
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:23,400
the air, and as your eyes follow it, it is the only thing in the air.

628
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:29,520
You see the clouds, you see the clouds behind it begin to follow and twist and ride around

629
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:36,240
it as if the very act of it spinning is dragging the clouds along with it.

630
00:55:36,240 --> 00:55:40,640
The very motion of this thing, everything around it begins to yield as this spinning

631
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:51,920
black object eventually, eventually resolves to still form in the sky.

632
00:55:51,920 --> 00:56:03,200
You see these large black wings sprawl to the side, causing all the clouds to billow

633
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:07,840
off to the side.

634
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:14,560
As you see what almost looks like a dragon.

635
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:22,160
Are there any gods associated with dragons that I would know of?

636
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,480
Not here.

637
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,800
Interesting.

638
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:39,120
But for some reason, you feel a light coming from this, a warmth.

639
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:48,800
These are terrifying creatures, you know, but it taking, it crowning the sky and amongst

640
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,840
the red.

641
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:58,280
You strangely, for some reason, as you try to gain deeper insight into this vision, you

642
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,040
feel moved.

643
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,800
Not fear.

644
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:03,960
No.

645
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,440
You should feel fear.

646
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:14,080
These are tyrannical like monsters that can cause wanton destruction.

647
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:18,440
But you see hope.

648
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:28,160
You see a world beyond where you are.

649
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:39,560
And then you exhale.

650
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:43,720
And you open your eyes.

651
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:52,800
You're at the picnic.

652
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:58,600
Or not exhales.

653
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:03,240
Oh, no.

654
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,960
Shall we?

655
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,240
Did he have a weird interaction at all?

656
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:15,320
Like, can I see if like make an insight check or something to see if he also saw something

657
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:16,320
along those lines?

658
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,320
Okay, hold on.

659
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:24,800
I'm sorry that my screen goes dark.

660
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,280
My room has no lights in it right now.

661
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:29,280
Dramatic lighting.

662
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,360
Dramatic, super dramatic lighting.

663
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:35,840
The tension of when you're about to roll.

664
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:38,560
You're plunged into darkness.

665
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:43,360
Okay, so a normal roll.

666
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,400
Oh, cool.

667
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,240
22.

668
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,120
He is completely unfazed.

669
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:54,480
He is as he did his prayers and now he's ready to eat.

670
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,240
They moved.

671
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,360
So she knows that she's always been a little different, right?

672
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:01,360
Yes.

673
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:02,360
Okay, cool.

674
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:10,880
So she goes, Wow, today, I guess really is a special day.

675
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,440
Oh, really?

676
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:22,040
Is it because it's been divine touched by the many gods?

677
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:23,480
You could say that.

678
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,120
She says as she starts to go and like set aside the little tea, you know, put up the

679
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:34,360
little finger sandwiches, start to cut off the sourdough bread, you know, in a very methodical,

680
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:42,760
you know, calm manner.

681
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:50,440
Did you have this morning pedal and you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to?

682
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:56,000
But did you have that vision about the fires again?

683
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:03,760
Oh, and you see she kind of like nervously tucks a piece of hair, you know, back into

684
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:09,960
her bandana of her short, you know, pink wisps and goes, it's okay.

685
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:11,960
No big deal.

686
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:13,880
It happens.

687
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:19,640
Just a reminder of how grateful I am to be in this present moment.

688
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:24,840
She kind of like gives a little bow to the tea set.

689
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:36,040
All right, well, let's have it eaten.

690
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:37,040
Go home.

691
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:43,480
There's much to do as much jam to make.

692
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,720
Maybe I can find those red berries and we can make a really cool jam.

693
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,920
That would be a blessing by the gods themselves.

694
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,840
Indeed.

695
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,360
You have a feast.

696
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:01,400
An assortment of sweets, of hot of hot bread.

697
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:08,720
Um, um, Lusardi has packed a couple of salted, assorted meats, which is a rare, which is

698
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,840
a rarity, but a nice delicacy now.

699
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:22,320
Um, you eat until your belly is full and you leave and you leave a slice, a little loaf

700
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:29,560
of bread out for the people who have passed.

701
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:36,160
As you begin, as you begin to clean as the open air prayer is now complete.

702
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:43,400
Um, as you see other people taking to the field and doing their prayers, you see a,

703
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:51,040
um, you see a figure making its way on the walk on the, uh, the beaded walkway coming

704
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:52,960
over to you.

705
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:57,320
She wears a sort of like sort of white vestments.

706
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:05,120
She has a, this largely, this like very, um, elegant rapier by her side.

707
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:12,520
Um, her hair is sort of like, sort of like a tied back sort of like bluish kind of, uh,

708
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:13,520
kind of hair.

709
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:23,800
Um, a half elf woman, um, whom you have grown to be, um, familiar with throughout your life.

710
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:31,120
Now she walks, she walks over with this sort of like same like elegant bearing gait that

711
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,200
she has.

712
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:42,920
Her name is Aurier Verlouin, a warrior of the Ferjandi, a dev, a, an elite set of devout,

713
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,520
a devout warriors that are dedicated to the ministry.

714
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:54,880
Um, and she just goes, I'll father be with the both of you this morning.

715
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,680
And I'll father be with you.

716
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:57,680
Good morning.

717
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:58,680
Good morning, Verlouin.

718
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,680
To what do we owe this pleasure of this visit?

719
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:08,680
Well, you see, I thought I'd find the both of you, uh, within these fields.

720
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:15,080
I was actually hoping to speak to, to speak to Lucia.

721
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:20,160
Oh, oh, was it because of the boat?

722
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:24,560
I didn't, I, I, uh, well, listen, okay.

723
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,040
So here's the thing.

724
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:32,000
Boats are supposed to leave the harbors sometimes and because the harbors are safe, but sometimes

725
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:38,760
when the boat needs to turn around, oh, nevermind.

726
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:39,760
Yeah.

727
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,760
Talk to me.

728
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,720
I got it.

729
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:53,600
She looks to Arnalda and Arnalda just goes, the girl said, nevermind.

730
01:03:53,600 --> 01:04:07,560
Aurier chuckles slightly and she just goes, well, as you may, um, as you may know, your

731
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:16,040
presence is typically, it comes as a, as a special request throughout the years by a

732
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:18,560
few certain people.

733
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:23,040
Oh, that makes sense.

734
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,640
Does she want to see me?

735
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,640
She is here to see you this year.

736
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:29,640
Okay.

737
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,640
Well, um.

738
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:38,920
And then you see Arnalda just goes, only if she wants to.

739
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:43,880
Oh, um, um, turns to Arnalda.

740
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:45,760
I'm always happy to help.

741
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:52,920
I just feel bad because, well, it's kind of the same thing every year, but absolutely

742
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:53,920
happy to help.

743
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,920
I'll lead the way then.

744
01:04:55,920 --> 01:05:01,600
I'll see you back at the house.

745
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:07,520
Oh, yes.

746
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:11,280
But before you go, I have one more thing for you.

747
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,880
Oh, not another boat I'm going to lose.

748
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:19,240
No, something I want you to keep.

749
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,440
Reaches into the same basket.

750
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:27,520
And you see, you hear the sounds of like a small chain.

751
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:32,400
He handles this item gingerly as he holds it up towards you.

752
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:37,520
The small circular object that he presses the button on.

753
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:44,800
And you see this sort of like clamshell design opens up and shows a clock.

754
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,680
What in the FMA is going on here?

755
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:47,680
A pocket watch.

756
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:48,680
Um.

757
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:49,680
With the date.

758
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:50,680
With the date.

759
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:51,680
And he just goes.

760
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:59,800
For you to be able to tell the time wherever you are.

761
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:00,800
Wow.

762
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,800
Why am I getting so many gifts today?

763
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,280
Is it because I saw that red berry?

764
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:13,440
I'm telling you, the blessings today, they're coming in by the loads.

765
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:14,880
Yes.

766
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:22,280
Red berries, rare to be certain, but sweet.

767
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:23,280
Very very sweet.

768
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:24,280
I'm sure.

769
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:28,600
I'll see you at the house.

770
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,920
And as she takes it, she goes, is this, as she calls out as he starts to head back, is

771
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,400
this really mine?

772
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:37,360
Of course.

773
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:38,360
It's yours.

774
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:39,360
I love it.

775
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:40,360
And it's all yours.

776
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:45,040
It's the most wonderful thing I've ever had, Arnalda.

777
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,040
Thank you.

778
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:52,960
I'll see you at the house.

779
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:57,680
She'll turn around with the new pocket watch that she'll try to either hook onto her skirt

780
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,600
or, you know, wear it around her neck.

781
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,840
As she turns to look at, is it Oria?

782
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:04,840
How is it pronounced?

783
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:05,840
Oria.

784
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:06,840
Oria.

785
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:07,840
Oria.

786
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,920
And she says, well, what do you know?

787
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,080
I lost a boat and I got a clock.

788
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,440
As she holds up the little pocket watch.

789
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,120
I'm still unclear on this boat.

790
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,680
Well, here's the thing with boats.

791
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,160
They're not meant to stay in the harbor.

792
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,200
They're supposed to go out into the water.

793
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:25,200
You've said it before.

794
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:26,200
Yes.

795
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:27,200
Yeah.

796
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,040
I don't think they're meant to like drown though.

797
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:30,040
That's my question though.

798
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,840
That would be the complete antithesis of a boat.

799
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:33,840
Yes.

800
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:34,840
Yeah, that would be.

801
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:35,840
But sometimes they do that.

802
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:39,600
They walk beside me.

803
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:41,360
She's just chattering the whole way.

804
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:42,360
She's patient.

805
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:43,360
She always listens.

806
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:48,080
She always enjoys you.

807
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:56,280
You begin to make your way towards the deeper parts of Takor.

808
01:07:56,280 --> 01:08:00,000
These are where the real important places are.

809
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,200
And you normally only walk these places with Oria.

810
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:08,480
You see Castle Gimli in the distance.

811
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:15,760
The large stone castle where you know that a great evil once took hold of, but the first

812
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:24,000
king, the king blessed by Odin eventually slayed this evil, this ash tyrant, and took

813
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:32,040
over this very castle, purified it with just pure intention.

814
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:40,840
That's bless the king.

815
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:49,120
As eventually you are led to a component of the castle.

816
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:54,840
Walking in, you see other individuals.

817
01:08:54,840 --> 01:09:00,520
You're inside of the castle now, but a smaller part of it off to the side.

818
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:05,360
You did not go through the main entrance.

819
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:13,440
Entering into this little section of the castle, you see other young men and women.

820
01:09:13,440 --> 01:09:19,040
Some of them who you know came from other places of an era, other places in the same

821
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,920
country that you're in.

822
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:33,720
All also people who were just products of war, but were saved, much like you.

823
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,640
But you're special.

824
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:44,560
You didn't join the Varor Society, the society of wartime orphans saved by the Anorian army,

825
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:50,680
who were then brought here to Anor, brought to a safe place, nurtured by the ministry

826
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:57,160
and raised to be very capable servants of the many nobles of Anor.

827
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:04,000
You were destined to be one of them, but something was special about you.

828
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:10,480
Something about you caused, and something that was noticed from everyone around you,

829
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:12,800
caused you to be deviated from this path.

830
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:20,160
And instead you were put with Arnalda to lead a small yet interesting life.

831
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:26,880
And yet you wonder how different things can be seeing these servants of the castle who

832
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:36,240
came about the same situation as you, rushing about, seeing you seeing Aurier stiffening

833
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:46,920
up, all of a sudden this properness taking over them as if snapping to.

834
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:55,480
And they and they they bow to her, head executor, and they bow towards you and quickly dash

835
01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:59,800
away, getting out of sight of your eyes.

836
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:03,280
But okay.

837
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:09,680
Eventually you are led through gilded halls until you reach this red padded door where

838
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:15,080
you see a woman dressed in.

839
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:20,600
She has a strict she has sort of a strictness about her.

840
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:26,200
Everybody that surrounds this, everyone that follows this woman that you're going to meet,

841
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:36,460
they have this sense of strictness and coldness about them that you that you were apparently

842
01:11:36,460 --> 01:11:39,320
designed to respect.

843
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:45,180
She wears this military outfit, hair, kind of like brown hair pulled back into a ponytail.

844
01:11:45,180 --> 01:11:50,440
She wears the symbol of House Alderbrand on her chest.

845
01:11:50,440 --> 01:11:53,920
But it's but it's not the woman that's a request that has requested you.

846
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:57,440
This is not the woman that you get the visions of.

847
01:11:57,440 --> 01:12:00,080
It is her right hand.

848
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,500
The one who tends to meet you up front.

849
01:12:02,500 --> 01:12:03,920
You do know her.

850
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,360
Her name is Ada.

851
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:11,360
Ada Sigrid, a lieutenant.

852
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:17,520
She meets you with a stern captain that's hands behind her, hands behind her back and

853
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:18,520
then looks to Orië.

854
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,520
Orië goes, she's here.

855
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:25,480
Yes, I'm here.

856
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:27,760
Hi.

857
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:33,440
Ada regards you for a moment and she just goes.

858
01:12:33,440 --> 01:12:34,720
Right.

859
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:43,600
There is the payment that's promised and reaches reaches to like the side of her boot, pulls

860
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:51,520
pulls up a bag and hands over this like large bag of like some it is a you can tell it's

861
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,240
a hefty bag.

862
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:58,400
But you do know that the people who come from this place, they're strong, lifting it with

863
01:12:58,400 --> 01:12:59,840
ease and handing it over to Orië.

864
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:06,960
Orië takes it, the heft of it, kind of wang her hand out for a moment as she places to

865
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:08,740
her side.

866
01:13:08,740 --> 01:13:16,520
She looks to you with a gentle smile and she just goes, I'll wait out here for you.

867
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:17,520
See you soon.

868
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,520
Thanks for walking me.

869
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,920
Of course.

870
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:34,480
You press your way through the red padded door and you see kneeling in front of you

871
01:13:34,480 --> 01:13:39,940
this pale short woman.

872
01:13:39,940 --> 01:13:45,440
She wears a fine soothed out clothes.

873
01:13:45,440 --> 01:13:50,680
She has a pallid skin and sort of like jet black hair.

874
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:57,640
And as she opens her eyes, she was kneeling and was focused.

875
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:04,560
Her eyes open and she regards you with the flat regard of a reptile.

876
01:14:04,560 --> 01:14:11,360
Her eyes are these fiery red and they are the most striking things about her.

877
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:17,040
You've always felt something from her.

878
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:26,280
There's always something, there's always this intense feeling about her.

879
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:28,640
You feel heat.

880
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,520
You feel strength.

881
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:41,960
She has the grace of a jungle panther and she looks like the underbelly of a glacier.

882
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:46,700
Dangerous.

883
01:14:46,700 --> 01:14:50,920
But she's the one who saved you.

884
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:57,800
Kali Aldebrand, the high commander of the Firestorm Brigade.

885
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:07,760
She is an Aeon Mart noble among one of the most powerful noble families in the eastern

886
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:13,800
constituent region of the Grand Folger.

887
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:24,800
She looks at you and she bows her head slightly at you.

888
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:28,120
Good to see you again.

889
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:33,880
Blessed day.

890
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:41,920
You see she takes off her black glove, puts it off to the side.

891
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:52,040
She just goes, well shall we begin then?

892
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:56,520
Of course, yes.

893
01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:01,760
You begin the process of the vision ceremony.

894
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:08,880
A small censure is in the room that you fill with, it's already filled with the proper,

895
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:12,160
you know, the unjuents and such.

896
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:19,720
As you light up the flame and this tangible, heavy scent fills the room, you kneel in front

897
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:32,720
of Kali Aldebrand and you close your eyes and you gently take her hand.

898
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:46,080
Immediately you feel the whips of fire closer than ever before in these visions.

899
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:51,280
Your eyes open.

900
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:56,440
These visions of her that you always give to her, that she receives from you every year,

901
01:16:56,440 --> 01:17:04,640
this special occasion, they're almost the same every year, her victorious.

902
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:13,240
The grit, the sign of strength amongst the pyres and fires, the toils of war, she of

903
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:18,960
course stands amongst the ashes.

904
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,440
But this time it's different.

905
01:17:22,440 --> 01:17:32,300
This time the fire feels closer, it feels more intense and you see her walking towards

906
01:17:32,300 --> 01:17:43,180
a red sky, up a hill and on top of this hill you see she reaches out and her hand touches

907
01:17:43,180 --> 01:17:58,040
upon a throne that looks much like the one in the king's room.

908
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:10,440
As that happens, you hear the galloping of a horse from behind, fast approaching.

909
01:18:10,440 --> 01:18:19,280
And here, this sudden bellow, this is all new.

910
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:27,520
You see this woman in front of you turn around, sword at her side, and she swings at your

911
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:36,480
direction at whatever this approaching horse figure is.

912
01:18:36,480 --> 01:18:45,160
And then your vision cuts and you are present once more.

913
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,680
I was going to say, so this is the first time this has happened, right?

914
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:55,400
Yes, this is the first time, it's different.

915
01:18:55,400 --> 01:19:09,520
Her eyes open to regard you, silently waiting for the answer, the answer of what you saw.

916
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:20,480
Well, and you see she really doesn't know how to approach this.

917
01:19:20,480 --> 01:19:24,520
Is it different?

918
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:27,600
Just a little.

919
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,040
Her eyes harden immediately.

920
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,440
Fear shoots through you.

921
01:19:33,440 --> 01:19:40,520
Very, like, I mean, it still had the throne and everything and it was, you look great,

922
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:43,520
you look great in it, you really do.

923
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:51,960
Yeah, there's just a horse this time.

924
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:55,040
What did the horse look like?

925
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,360
Give me every detail.

926
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:03,800
It was just a horse.

927
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:07,680
You didn't see the horse, you just heard the galloping.

928
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:13,960
Yeah, you know, I didn't really see it, I more so heard a horse, but yeah, there's just

929
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:17,400
a horse kind of there.

930
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:24,080
You know, and you seem surprised by the horse and yeah.

931
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:31,800
Even though she's all about fire, she bears an Aeon mark, which are these mystical sigils

932
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:40,080
that every noble, like, every huge noble bears, that gives them abilities beyond their, like,

933
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:44,360
that separates them from the common folk.

934
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:48,640
Fire's is the mark of the inferno.

935
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:50,600
She masters fire.

936
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:56,240
She is the absolute control, the absolute controller of fire.

937
01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:05,440
But you feel an ice, glacial coldness from her at your stuttering, at your lack of clarity.

938
01:21:05,440 --> 01:21:08,960
You don't know if you're making her more annoyed.

939
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:20,760
So yeah, horses are really, you know, wonderful, intelligent, strong creatures.

940
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:26,320
So if anything, I think this is a good sign.

941
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:31,120
What was the horse doing?

942
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:32,120
Running.

943
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:33,120
Where?

944
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:39,520
I'm scared.

945
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:43,320
How much did, can I like make a roll for myself to see how much she admits?

946
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:44,320
Sure.

947
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:54,320
This is like the funniest conversation I've heard Kali Aldebrand have about a horse.

948
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:55,320
Where's the horse?

949
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:58,120
What's the horse doing?

950
01:21:58,120 --> 01:21:59,600
What does the horse look like?

951
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:01,600
This is her being patient.

952
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,680
This is her acting within the mesh.

953
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:05,680
Yep.

954
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:06,680
She's not going to kill me.

955
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:07,680
She really cares about this horse.

956
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:08,680
Jenny.

957
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:09,680
Okay, hold on.

958
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:14,200
I'm trying to roll wisdom.

959
01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,200
I hate Kali Aldebrand so much.

960
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:21,040
Okay, and that 20, so 24.

961
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:26,240
I was going to say for you, I thought that was, okay.

962
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:29,000
So that was rolling for how much she should reveal.

963
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:34,600
Does that mean you're going to reveal everything or not?

964
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:35,600
That's what I'm asking.

965
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:36,600
Oh, okay.

966
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:37,600
You want me to decide it.

967
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,280
What's the smartest thing to do with how she looks so scary?

968
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:44,920
So since you rolled a nat 20, and because nat 20s typically mean you want to do the

969
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:45,920
good thing.

970
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:49,720
The good thing.

971
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:54,520
There was something about this woman that's always made you fearful.

972
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:55,520
She's the one who saved you.

973
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,720
She's the one that you were taught to be thankful of.

974
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:02,120
But every time you've seen visions of her, it's destruction.

975
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:11,760
It's it reminds you of the fires that penetrate your home, the ones that of your visions.

976
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:26,600
Something tells you that perhaps you have said enough.

977
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:31,280
And yeah, that was it.

978
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:38,920
Same old, same old.

979
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:45,400
An exertion of breath.

980
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:58,080
This reserved woman eventually resigns herself to pick up her glove and put it on her hand.

981
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,760
And you do take note that her hands.

982
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:04,400
She's such a small woman.

983
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:09,560
But but but you hear her stories.

984
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,800
How fierce she is.

985
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:18,480
The war she has waged and won the odds she has gone up against.

986
01:24:18,480 --> 01:24:22,760
The very cream of the crop.

987
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:27,960
A prodigy of Irobrin.

988
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:30,800
A prodigy of life.

989
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:37,000
And the sole survivor of her family who has seen some track has seen some tragedies throughout

990
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,000
the years.

991
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:47,000
But she had the strength to carry on and to and to endeavor.

992
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:55,240
The people who live under her all live a fruitful and full life.

993
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:59,200
Everything you've heard about her is that she is the most wonderful, most capable woman

994
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,480
ever.

995
01:25:02,480 --> 01:25:03,480
And Jenny doesn't like that.

996
01:25:03,480 --> 01:25:04,480
No, I hate her.

997
01:25:04,480 --> 01:25:08,960
I hate her so much.

998
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:12,560
I also kind of hate I just had the thought in my head about this is probably like the

999
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:17,600
only time in a game ever that Kali is going to have more screen time than me for any amount

1000
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:21,400
of time in the game's existence.

1001
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:24,000
And that pisses me off just because it's her.

1002
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,920
Jenny's like and for that I'll kill her.

1003
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:31,160
Oh I was already gonna I'm killing her.

1004
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,600
She's gonna die.

1005
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:41,400
That horse is me.

1006
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:50,080
She puts the glove back on and she bows her head slightly towards you.

1007
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:54,600
Stands up.

1008
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:59,840
And the five or six times you've done this she has stared up every single time.

1009
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:06,480
She is nothing if not consistent throughout all of her motions.

1010
01:26:06,480 --> 01:26:11,560
And she just goes thank you.

1011
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:18,000
And much like the other time she begins to just she does a pivot and walks straight towards

1012
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:24,520
the door to exit.

1013
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:32,760
You are left to clean up the things that have been left behind and as you exit you see that

1014
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:37,560
Kali and her right hand is gone.

1015
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:39,720
Right hand lieutenant not her hand.

1016
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:45,360
Well her hand is also gone I bet.

1017
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:54,880
Morie sees you because everything go well.

1018
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:55,880
She nods.

1019
01:26:55,880 --> 01:27:03,240
The last few times have left you a little bit shaken up but this time was a little bit

1020
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,960
more scary.

1021
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:10,520
She takes her hand gently.

1022
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:17,680
And you see that she has divvied up the gold into another bag.

1023
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,120
And gently places it in your hand.

1024
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:25,720
Here I'll walk you back home.

1025
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:29,040
Thank you.

1026
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,640
You're doing this kingdom a great service.

1027
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:34,640
It's a gift from above.

1028
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:35,640
She points.

1029
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:36,640
It is.

1030
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:47,960
And we are blessed to have you share it with us.

1031
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:56,480
You are led back home the same path every single time.

1032
01:27:56,480 --> 01:28:03,120
As you as you had as you as you approach your house.

1033
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:09,720
She just goes we really should talk.

1034
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:14,400
Without standing on any other sort of business or predicate.

1035
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:24,240
I should really just speak with you and Arnolda wants my duties loosen up a little bit.

1036
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:29,800
I think we would like that.

1037
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:36,320
I do apologize that the last few meetings have been fraught with pretenses but perhaps

1038
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:37,320
next time.

1039
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:40,320
But I'll let you get home now.

1040
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:43,920
Have a good day.

1041
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:48,800
Thanks for walking me again.

1042
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:49,800
Of course.

1043
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,200
You can ask me anything.

1044
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:57,780
Of course.

1045
01:28:57,780 --> 01:29:02,800
She watches as you just you know as a safety precaution she watches as you go into your

1046
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:16,120
house as you open up the door you see Arnolda sort of like the baskets been put up and normally

1047
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:20,340
he'd be making jam but this time he's just been at a table.

1048
01:29:20,340 --> 01:29:26,440
You see just kind of like a hand over his face.

1049
01:29:26,440 --> 01:29:28,600
And as you open the door.

1050
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:30,600
His head slowly rises.

1051
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:31,600
No.

1052
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,600
How was it Petal?

1053
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:42,480
Well it was a little different.

1054
01:29:42,480 --> 01:29:45,480
Are you okay?

1055
01:29:45,480 --> 01:29:54,840
Yes I'm just feeling a little bit under the weather.

1056
01:29:54,840 --> 01:30:00,760
So under the weather that magic can't even help.

1057
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:16,000
I am afraid that the grasps of time cannot be undone by magic dear.

1058
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:21,000
What do you mean?

1059
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:30,240
I um and as he looks up as he looks up he does speak you hear behind you.

1060
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:31,840
Lusati.

1061
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:35,000
Aurier is standing in the doorway.

1062
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,000
She's noticed the situation and approached.

1063
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:41,240
Are you all right?

1064
01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:49,280
Yes just getting a little long in my ears you know.

1065
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:52,720
I don't mean to worry you for Luane.

1066
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:58,040
No it's nothing.

1067
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:03,560
Thank you for taking care of Lucia like always.

1068
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:11,400
It's nothing.

1069
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:14,160
I don't wish to keep you any longer.

1070
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:22,560
I know I know the naming ceremony is coming up later today.

1071
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:25,760
And that's the first time you've heard of it.

1072
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:27,840
People were in full bloom out in the streets.

1073
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:33,400
People were there was a buzz about in town.

1074
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:35,920
Aurier goes yes that is true.

1075
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:39,760
It'll be an important occasion.

1076
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:42,760
The what ceremony?

1077
01:31:42,760 --> 01:31:52,360
Ah the leader of the well I'm afraid if I say a bunch of terminology towards you it's

1078
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:59,080
not going to make sense but there is an important ceremony today when a lot of important people

1079
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:02,720
are going to be there.

1080
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:11,760
Someone's going to be named the leader of a house at a school.

1081
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:15,840
Wow leader of a house like our house?

1082
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,680
She points around.

1083
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:26,760
And you see Arnold you see like his eyebrows crouches for a moment and he blinks for a

1084
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:35,160
bit he just goes and as Aurier is about to explain he just goes something bigger something

1085
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:41,320
beyond our scope.

1086
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:53,240
Ivar Bryn is a school where many people from all the five regions come together and meddle

1087
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:57,840
and learn from one another.

1088
01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:03,680
There are five houses there and the one who's going to be named at the ceremony is going

1089
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:10,000
to be the leader of the silver lions.

1090
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,520
That sounds kind of scary.

1091
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:21,720
Yes it's it is a load bearing responsibility which is why someone must be very capable

1092
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:25,160
someone chosen by the king.

1093
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:27,880
By the king?

1094
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:32,480
Should we make sure that we go to like bless them or something just in case if they need

1095
01:33:32,480 --> 01:33:39,600
an extra oomph?

1096
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,400
Next to Aurier.

1097
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:52,480
And Aurier just goes we could have you be a part of the procession outside but as for

1098
01:33:52,480 --> 01:34:02,400
the the more inner as for the more inner ceremonies the more the more private ones I'm afraid

1099
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,360
we can't do that.

1100
01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:11,760
And you see Arnara immediately jumps in he just goes but you can ordain our presences

1101
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:16,040
correct to allow us to be a part of this.

1102
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:24,000
Yes yes I know how to do that.

1103
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:30,240
Keep in mind that I am going to have to be responsible if I'm going to allow you to take

1104
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:36,040
part within within the inner ceremonies.

1105
01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:38,720
She looks nervously over to Arnalda.

1106
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:48,620
Arnalda goes I have been thinking a lot about my dear Lucia here.

1107
01:34:48,620 --> 01:34:57,640
She is a flower in full bloom and flowers tend to grow in one place but eventually they

1108
01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:02,240
must allow themselves to be in the wind.

1109
01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:15,880
Can't I allow her to see something as wonderful and momentous as this ceremony?

1110
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:22,600
I promise we won't embarrass ourselves among the high lives even says even if we do get

1111
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:27,440
lost in the wonderful food they have there.

1112
01:35:27,440 --> 01:35:35,600
But I think it just be something nice for her.

1113
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:45,280
See Orieth thinks about it for a moment she just goes ok but even if the two of you are

1114
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:50,760
out of my sight then the two of you have to be with each other understand.

1115
01:35:50,760 --> 01:35:54,720
I wouldn't leave his side.

1116
01:35:54,720 --> 01:35:57,640
Yes she's always been by my side.

1117
01:35:57,640 --> 01:35:59,000
We're two peas in a pod.

1118
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,080
We're two red berries in a bunch.

1119
01:36:02,080 --> 01:36:03,080
Red berries?

1120
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:04,080
Do you mean strawberries?

1121
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:10,880
Yeah no no a red never mind.

1122
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:18,000
Very well I'll be attending to the personal guard in the possession outside but once the

1123
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:23,920
ceremony begins to move inside the two of you will find me by the gates and I'll lead

1124
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:30,400
you both inside.

1125
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:36,360
That sounds wonderful thank you thank you Orieth.

1126
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:39,640
It's nothing.

1127
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:44,320
I wish you good health Arnolda.

1128
01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:51,680
Yes and you as well.

1129
01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:56,800
Because be mindful of the time.

1130
01:36:56,800 --> 01:37:03,720
She says good day and walks out.

1131
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:09,520
He grasps your hand and gives it like a vigorous like little squeeze.

1132
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:14,280
He just goes be mindful of the time.

1133
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:19,600
Good thing I gave you that little pocket watch so you can always be mindful.

1134
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:23,160
She swings it up around her finger like a yo-yo.

1135
01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:24,160
Skillful.

1136
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:30,840
I know right it's my favorite new thing.

1137
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:38,120
You've never stepped inside of the castle beyond doing those little sights those little

1138
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:42,960
seer ceremonies for that lord.

1139
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:50,920
Yes I figured today will be an eye-opening day for you.

1140
01:37:50,920 --> 01:38:05,040
Well I'm kind of hoping we might find someone who can help with your cough.

1141
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:08,000
Time.

1142
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:16,640
Everyone yields to it dear.

1143
01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:27,440
As does the condition of my body so does my grip on you.

1144
01:38:27,440 --> 01:38:35,560
There's much more for you out there Luciana just I would very much like for you to see

1145
01:38:35,560 --> 01:38:38,240
it.

1146
01:38:38,240 --> 01:38:43,480
Perhaps you will at the highest room at Castle Gimli.

1147
01:38:43,480 --> 01:38:49,720
Only if you're there with me.

1148
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:58,800
Of course.

1149
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:01,320
Let's get ready for the occasion shall we?

1150
01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:08,360
Yeah because you know us boats are supposed to go out in the water and not sink and sometimes

1151
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:15,160
you have to make sure the harbor is left behind but you don't want to leave the harbor if

1152
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:16,160
it's a safe.

1153
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:26,680
Because when you turn around you forget.

1154
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:29,680
I get what you're putting down yes.

1155
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:35,720
I'm just watching the face get more confused.

1156
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:39,840
You can see the pipeline of thoughts.

1157
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:48,560
She is the gif of the woman with the numbers in the air.

1158
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:55,440
You know you've never attended an occasion such as this but I think it's time to put

1159
01:39:55,440 --> 01:40:00,920
aside some of the to bring out a bit of our money that we saved up.

1160
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:06,480
You see an occasion such as this you must dress the part.

1161
01:40:06,480 --> 01:40:11,160
Oh my goodness we have to get really fancy.

1162
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:14,040
I'll get my most pretty apron.

1163
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:20,040
No no we'll make something even better for you dear something for you.

1164
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:26,400
And she starts to kind of like panic because the apron is the nicest thing she has.

1165
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:27,960
This is a lot of pressure.

1166
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:31,520
Starts to hyperventilate a little bit.

1167
01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:42,600
He presses the gold bag that you got and he tucks it in your pocket and he goes that's

1168
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:45,120
for you.

1169
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:51,960
But all these other all these other ones throughout the years we're going to have it all go into

1170
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:56,240
you all right dear.

1171
01:40:56,240 --> 01:40:59,800
Let's fetch you a mighty fine dress for the occasion.

1172
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:02,400
Yeah what are you gonna wear you can't wear that.

1173
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:08,400
What do you mean by that?

1174
01:41:08,400 --> 01:41:12,680
I can't wear this points to her like you know they're very simple because you can't wear

1175
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:13,680
that.

1176
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:18,200
Oh my god the men I'll have you know.

1177
01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:21,160
These are fine vespids for every occasion.

1178
01:41:21,160 --> 01:41:27,200
Really though like a scarf or something we could maybe put on you.

1179
01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:30,200
I would like a scarf.

1180
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:33,200
A scarf would be neat.

1181
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:37,000
Cashmere I think is the thing nowadays I like some of that.

1182
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:42,080
I've heard of cashmere but I've never seen it before.

1183
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:44,520
I'll get you a cashmere scarf as well.

1184
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:48,800
Oh my gosh.

1185
01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:49,800
Come down dear.

1186
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:51,880
This child's gonna die.

1187
01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:55,320
There's a lot there's a lot to see within the day.

1188
01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:58,320
This child will die.

1189
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:05,640
And all of a sudden this excited this there's excitement.

1190
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:09,960
There's something big coming today something that you've never gone.

1191
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:13,160
High life ceremony.

1192
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:15,920
This is exciting.

1193
01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:20,760
And not to distract you from what's going on with Arnaldah.

1194
01:42:20,760 --> 01:42:26,920
If he dies this episode I swear.

1195
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:30,120
Stop dancing.

1196
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:33,240
You and your dancing.

1197
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:46,240
As we zoom out from the scope of Tokor the large capital city of Anor of Castle Gimli

1198
01:42:46,240 --> 01:43:01,240
of this momentous occasion and of this humble soul that has not seen anything else beyond

1199
01:43:01,240 --> 01:43:05,840
the borders of this city.

1200
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:23,720
We move from a perspective that started in fire to one cloaked in cold and snow the day

1201
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:27,720
before.

1202
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:33,640
And we will do that after this break.

1203
01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:36,120
See you in a bit.

1204
01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:38,360
Jenny's character comes after the break.

1205
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:40,480
Oh no.

1206
01:43:40,480 --> 01:43:43,120
Maybe it's Emma's second character.

1207
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:44,120
Yeah I'm playing with myself.

1208
01:43:44,120 --> 01:43:49,120
Jenny just gives us a watch.

1209
01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:52,040
I'm like I'm enjoying it.

1210
01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:53,320
Front row seats.

1211
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:54,320
Jenny you need to help me.

1212
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:56,560
You need to help my character.

1213
01:43:56,560 --> 01:44:01,000
Alright everyone we'll see you in a little bit.

1214
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:05,800
Hello and welcome back everyone.

1215
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:07,480
As everyone enjoying it so far.

1216
01:44:07,480 --> 01:44:09,220
Oh it's been amazing.

1217
01:44:09,220 --> 01:44:10,220
Old man.

1218
01:44:10,220 --> 01:44:11,220
Everyone loves the old man and little daughter.

1219
01:44:11,220 --> 01:44:12,220
Everything's great.

1220
01:44:12,220 --> 01:44:13,220
Everything's fine.

1221
01:44:13,220 --> 01:44:16,800
Don't you dare kill him.

1222
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:19,000
Please give me something to live for.

1223
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:20,000
What?

1224
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:21,000
What?

1225
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:25,640
I wouldn't.

1226
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:31,240
I wouldn't make him sick.

1227
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:37,760
Nothing a little lesser restoration can't help.

1228
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:40,840
Has anyone been playing Hades 2?

1229
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:43,840
Can't escape time.

1230
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:50,040
Alright let's see.

1231
01:44:50,040 --> 01:45:09,960
Alright so where we last left off as we exit out of the viewpoint of one small perspective

1232
01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:25,800
we entered into the wide eyed more all seeing perspective of another more belligerent less

1233
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:35,120
humble full bearing soul.

1234
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:39,600
Give me one moment where the hell is my sound effect?

1235
01:45:39,600 --> 01:45:45,560
This is what happens like the first 30 minutes after most D&D start times off stream.

1236
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:49,360
You should have seen the power leading up this.

1237
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:50,840
Where's my playlist?

1238
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:52,840
Son of a bitch.

1239
01:45:52,840 --> 01:45:53,840
Why you guys do this?

1240
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:55,640
We have all the tabs open.

1241
01:45:55,640 --> 01:46:00,520
It's a nightmare.

1242
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:03,720
Quick Emma make sound effects.

1243
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:04,720
Winter storm sound effects.

1244
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:05,720
Wow that's very convincing.

1245
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:16,760
That sounds even better what you just played.

1246
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:23,800
Oh I couldn't tell that you'd stopped.

1247
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,320
Add that to the resume.

1248
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:28,360
Winter storm Emma.

1249
01:46:28,360 --> 01:46:30,540
Honey you got a storm coming.

1250
01:46:30,540 --> 01:46:33,320
Winter storm effects.

1251
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:37,360
Pick up my Demeter boon real quick.

1252
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:45,880
Alright that's cold.

1253
01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:55,680
Snow all encompassing ice.

1254
01:46:55,680 --> 01:47:11,800
As the wind howls across and blankets our vision with this angry rapid white unyielding

1255
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:16,160
in its presence in its endless march.

1256
01:47:16,160 --> 01:47:29,140
We hear the sound of a pair of footsteps as a small figure carves a shadow in the squall.

1257
01:47:29,140 --> 01:47:46,600
We see a young woman halfling making her way through the squall.

1258
01:47:46,600 --> 01:47:49,080
Her voice calls out.

1259
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:51,080
Ven!

1260
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:53,080
Ven!

1261
01:47:53,080 --> 01:48:09,640
As she calls out her dressed in her spiked shoes, warm winter garment she marches through

1262
01:48:09,640 --> 01:48:10,640
the storm.

1263
01:48:10,640 --> 01:48:13,640
She just goes Ven!

1264
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:18,720
Ven where are you?

1265
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:24,300
She steps one step forward another careful half step.

1266
01:48:24,300 --> 01:48:27,320
This calculated half step.

1267
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:35,400
As she steps onto the white as she advances into just the purest form of the unknown where

1268
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:39,080
everything around you is the same color.

1269
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:43,000
Death is all black but this place is all white.

1270
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:51,600
She takes a step forward and as she puts her whole foot down into the barren white that

1271
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:59,240
she's always been stepping on she feels the front half of her foot tip forward and she

1272
01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:01,000
takes a step back.

1273
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:08,720
As the weight that she puts on causes snow and a small portion of the rock face that

1274
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:20,320
she's stepping on to fall off the side into a bottomless crevice.

1275
01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:30,480
She gets on her hands and knees and waves her hand at the ground until she feels nothing.

1276
01:49:30,480 --> 01:49:38,840
She has marked the distance of the bottomless crack in front of her a certain depth and

1277
01:49:38,840 --> 01:49:47,480
the small rock structure that she's standing on.

1278
01:49:47,480 --> 01:49:57,120
She calls out again towards the wind attempting anything to overpower the nature's natural

1279
01:49:57,120 --> 01:49:59,120
howl.

1280
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:15,960
A second later she hears something in the distance.

1281
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:24,880
Her ears do everything they can to latch onto the sound pulling it from the squall.

1282
01:50:24,880 --> 01:50:35,120
And as she hears it again.

1283
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:40,000
And she takes note that the voice is coming downward.

1284
01:50:40,000 --> 01:50:48,320
She goes, Ven, Ven can you hear me?

1285
01:50:48,320 --> 01:50:52,000
Yeah, I can't.

1286
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:55,520
I can't move.

1287
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:57,080
Yes.

1288
01:50:57,080 --> 01:51:00,480
Don't, don't worry.

1289
01:51:00,480 --> 01:51:01,480
Stay down there.

1290
01:51:01,480 --> 01:51:04,480
I'll get you help.

1291
01:51:04,480 --> 01:51:05,480
Yes.

1292
01:51:05,480 --> 01:51:08,480
It is sorry.

1293
01:51:08,480 --> 01:51:12,960
It's getting really cold.

1294
01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:22,240
She the halfling woman gets up turns and with her with her with her trained with her trained

1295
01:51:22,240 --> 01:51:27,720
mind she recalls the steps even though the snow has covered up steps she she finds her

1296
01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:30,120
steps her educated steps bring her back.

1297
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:38,160
And so she sees in the distance a amongst the whites the small flittering of an orange

1298
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:41,520
flame.

1299
01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:52,760
As she comes close she comes close to a wagon that is being guarded by one soul woman.

1300
01:51:52,760 --> 01:52:04,280
This woman a large woman dark she has a dark skin dark and a very dark dour expression

1301
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:10,760
covered up with with a scarf and such and sort of like messy swarthy kind of like brownish

1302
01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:13,400
hair.

1303
01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:18,600
She wears many scars that have already that she has none of them.

1304
01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:22,580
None of them strangely enough gathered from this hail storm.

1305
01:52:22,580 --> 01:52:27,160
All of them gathered gathered throughout her life.

1306
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:37,360
She approaches this this tower this strong this strong like just warship built woman.

1307
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:45,600
She just goes found it just then he fell.

1308
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:52,760
And the woman goes can you get him.

1309
01:52:52,760 --> 01:53:00,920
No no I think it's I think it's too dangerous.

1310
01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:09,120
You see the other woman stand up walks around to the back of the wagon knocking it on the

1311
01:53:09,120 --> 01:53:12,600
side.

1312
01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:19,760
She just goes my lady.

1313
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:30,160
And she and she forces the wagon door to open fighting against the wind sticks her head

1314
01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:35,960
into the cold inside of the wagon.

1315
01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:46,320
And Jenny can you describe the young woman she is addressing.

1316
01:53:46,320 --> 01:53:47,840
Yeah.

1317
01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:57,400
Valora Avonlea is dressed probably warmer than normal.

1318
01:53:57,400 --> 01:54:05,560
She has bright orange hair tied back maybe like halfway between almost being like acceptable

1319
01:54:05,560 --> 01:54:08,360
and messy you know.

1320
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:17,200
And she has earrings that look almost like a little like serpent or dragon in nature

1321
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:22,440
the fang hanging off one ear.

1322
01:54:22,440 --> 01:54:26,200
And she normally prefers her fingerless gloves.

1323
01:54:26,200 --> 01:54:32,400
I think she's wearing not fingerless gloves.

1324
01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:42,360
And she has green eyes light skin human and yeah.

1325
01:54:42,360 --> 01:54:51,160
You see your knight Rudra Pallavi a knight of house Avonlea dedicated serving the house

1326
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:54,880
longer since you were born.

1327
01:54:54,880 --> 01:55:05,040
She gets you with colder eyes and she just goes we have a serious situation out there.

1328
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:10,680
Did something did something happen nobody like fell again right.

1329
01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:14,680
You're met with an affirming quiet that she doesn't want to say.

1330
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:25,320
I told them not to go too far with like without phantom out there but.

1331
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:27,880
I hate she jumps up.

1332
01:55:27,880 --> 01:55:29,360
Hate to put you out there.

1333
01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:33,720
No no no it's fine it's fine.

1334
01:55:33,720 --> 01:55:35,520
I mean I should be helping anyways.

1335
01:55:35,520 --> 01:55:38,640
I know you don't hate it.

1336
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:47,120
I mean I mean I do I mean we've got a day to wrap up so I should be helping and I'm

1337
01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:49,120
plenty warm enough so.

1338
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:58,320
I mean where where who opens the door with a shove and as you as you you walk out into

1339
01:55:58,320 --> 01:56:08,360
the squall that that that that cold wind hits you doesn't does nothing to darken that expression.

1340
01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:19,680
And you see of gosh once they fuck you see for any of any Bill Stone one of the siblings

1341
01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:24,040
in charge of the Bill Stone Expedition Company the one that you've been traveling with to

1342
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:33,000

01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:40,840
Okay.

1345
01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:44,040
You know.

1346
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:48,600
Phantom I don't mind but I mean it was it is kind of hard to tell where the drop offs

1347
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:57,000
are with all the just going and she calls over for.

1348
01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:58,920
For phantom.

1349
01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:01,320
She calls.

1350
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:11,360
As you call for phantom the wagon that's hitched to your wagon it's suddenly you feel the wagon

1351
01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:14,720
that that hitch wagon shakes.

1352
01:57:14,720 --> 01:57:22,120
You see even through the snow on the slitted eyes go through open to see through the bars

1353
01:57:22,120 --> 01:57:26,040
of the other the windows of the.

1354
01:57:26,040 --> 01:57:30,940
The windows of the wagon as if called.

1355
01:57:30,940 --> 01:57:38,560
His eyes piercing it even even through all the snow you know where the where this person

1356
01:57:38,560 --> 01:57:46,760
is as this as all of a sudden the the back of the wagon shoots open.

1357
01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:58,800
And you see walking out pitch black forming a pitch black shape in this white snow.

1358
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:01,480
Can you describe phantom.

1359
01:58:01,480 --> 01:58:13,080
Yes phantom is a large wyvern with four legs as is typical of wyverns.

1360
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:18,480
That are not raised in captivity if you know the lore.

1361
01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:27,440
He has dark gray scales and sharp teeth and a like like other wyverns a stinger at the

1362
01:58:27,440 --> 01:58:35,120
end of his tail and he's saddled up and ready to go still because they're actively doing

1363
01:58:35,120 --> 01:58:40,160
things I imagine and he probably blends in pretty well with the snow except he's a little

1364
01:58:40,160 --> 01:58:43,480
bit darker but.

1365
01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:52,920
She she goes up to him and she pats him and goes are you warm enough you know the not

1366
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:58,560
that he can reply and start to.

1367
01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:05,400
But ever ever dutiful and present as ever you brought him out here he knows it's a serious

1368
01:59:05,400 --> 01:59:08,240
task at hand.

1369
01:59:08,240 --> 01:59:19,840
As you take to him the he your ever your ever present steed immediately starts to warm up

1370
01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:29,120
as the four legs come out as the wings slowly begin to spread.

1371
01:59:29,120 --> 01:59:36,560
It's now just a matter of tell me where to go just think about it.

1372
01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:41,600
She climbs on and looks to.

1373
01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:48,960
Looks to then and is like are you want to hop on show me.

1374
01:59:48,960 --> 01:59:55,040
He gets goes to grab her.

1375
01:59:55,040 --> 02:00:00,880
As you as you latch on she you pull her up she goes OK just.

1376
02:00:00,880 --> 02:00:10,120
Just go that way and she points after after centering herself for a moment.

1377
02:00:10,120 --> 02:00:14,920
She his fear phantom she means sore.

1378
02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:20,360
And your conic and sore he does.

1379
02:00:20,360 --> 02:00:27,600
Moving with moving with strength he is a he is an arrow launched out of a fully drawn

1380
02:00:27,600 --> 02:00:36,000
back bow the winds around are howling and strong but nothing there is no wind there

1381
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:40,920
is no wind stronger than phantoming you trained and you train him to do that you were the

1382
02:00:40,920 --> 02:00:50,560
one who oversaw all of that as he moves effortlessly gliding against the gliding against the storm.

1383
02:00:50,560 --> 02:00:56,040
As he moves forward as you begin to take flight and leave the ground you see phantom maintains

1384
02:00:56,040 --> 02:01:04,000
a very steady pace as you as you as you rush forward eventually we're giving the directions

1385
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:12,640
from getting the directions from then you hear she eventually brings you to a point

1386
02:01:12,640 --> 02:01:19,080
and as you as you as you reach a certain point you hear you hear beyond her instruction you

1387
02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:26,040
hear anybody then.

1388
02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:35,120
Overcoming she will try to direct phantom to where she hears hears him calling.

1389
02:01:35,120 --> 02:01:43,060
As you begin as you begin to go towards that way you notice sharp there is there's a sharpness

1390
02:01:43,060 --> 02:01:48,040
to you things you have to be careful for because you've been in these situations you were trained

1391
02:01:48,040 --> 02:01:53,980
to be in these situations.

1392
02:01:53,980 --> 02:01:59,040
The small clattering of rocks things falling to this things falling around to the side

1393
02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:06,360
there's a slight shift in the landscape.

1394
02:02:06,360 --> 02:02:13,240
As you dive downwards make a perception check or survival.

1395
02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:20,080
Perception or survival let me look.

1396
02:02:20,080 --> 02:02:30,880
But is there the same I think so I'll do perception.

1397
02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:35,200
Twenty two that's pretty good.

1398
02:02:35,200 --> 02:02:40,840
You're you're your eyes lock on you have found you have found smaller needles and bigger

1399
02:02:40,840 --> 02:02:44,440
haystacks.

1400
02:02:44,440 --> 02:02:49,320
As eventually following as eventually following the sound you reach the side of you reach

1401
02:02:49,320 --> 02:02:56,640
the side of a crack phantom has to latch on to this this narrow side of this of this place

1402
02:02:56,640 --> 02:03:04,320
this place is two cracks and a huge crevice in between with only a few stone a few stone

1403
02:03:04,320 --> 02:03:08,240
like parts connecting one part to the other.

1404
02:03:08,240 --> 02:03:12,240
Which is why you were sent out here to try and make it a little bit more livable for

1405
02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:15,840
people for travelers.

1406
02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:23,360
You see as Phantom latches onto latches onto the crack you see Vin this other half this

1407
02:03:23,360 --> 02:03:33,360
other half thing the brother of Verony a python out holding on to dear life to this to this

1408
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:40,360
almost flat side of the rock face cold snow getting into his jacket.

1409
02:03:40,360 --> 02:03:48,640
This goes hey what took you so long.

1410
02:03:48,640 --> 02:03:55,600
Sorry warming up but um okay we need to go fast I think I will I promise I will call

1411
02:03:55,600 --> 02:03:57,400
you pipsqueak again.

1412
02:03:57,400 --> 02:04:08,680
I never really knew where that came from but she starts working as you begin as you begin

1413
02:04:08,680 --> 02:04:26,280
to help and you reach out towards him you hear close and you hear movement coming coming

1414
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:33,480
really fast from below.

1415
02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:35,960
Go ahead and make an initiative check.

1416
02:04:35,960 --> 02:04:48,600
Okay this is as I think also because we rolled on the mount table thing that um a5e has I

1417
02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:53,040
think phantom world spirited in the mountain it's brighter game plus one two initiative

1418
02:04:53,040 --> 02:04:54,040
checks.

1419
02:04:54,040 --> 02:04:55,040
Yes.

1420
02:04:55,040 --> 02:05:04,320
And I never put that on my sheet so let's it'll be plus one of 22 again then with the

1421
02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:05,320
plus one.

1422
02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:10,520
Okay that does that beat what I'm gonna roll.

1423
02:05:10,520 --> 02:05:12,000
We'll see.

1424
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:14,480
I have notoriously bad initiative.

1425
02:05:14,480 --> 02:05:18,200
I don't not one for my first roll.

1426
02:05:18,200 --> 02:05:19,200
Okay.

1427
02:05:19,200 --> 02:05:20,840
Oh good job to me.

1428
02:05:20,840 --> 02:05:28,640
You watch as your hand is outstretched um we're normally we're normally um risk those who

1429
02:05:28,640 --> 02:05:32,560
are risk adverse will pull their hand back because they feel this fast moving presence

1430
02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:38,120
you instead commit to the to the risk to the risk grabbing the grabbing the hand because

1431
02:05:38,120 --> 02:05:44,800
the reward of the safety of a friend is much more than your own personal safety as you

1432
02:05:44,800 --> 02:05:53,180
grab his hand you pull you pull towards you as he as he flies towards you you see his

1433
02:05:53,180 --> 02:06:01,600
body is almost clipped by the by this rising of flying presence that lunged upwards that

1434
02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:06,160
will that would have almost grabbed your arm if you hadn't pulled it pulled it towards

1435
02:06:06,160 --> 02:06:17,160
you as you see this large humanoid furred creature shoot upwards you barely dodging

1436
02:06:17,160 --> 02:06:27,000
it as um as then is is like the falls onto the back of your back your wyvern this creature

1437
02:06:27,000 --> 02:06:38,440
grabs uh on like onto the side of the cliff face and looks down towards you lar um bloodied

1438
02:06:38,440 --> 02:06:51,160
fangs of like a white outset of her um this large hulking creature a yeti

1439
02:06:51,160 --> 02:07:03,000
she though she she feels she safely has has him on she just she just commands severed

1440
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:15,760
severed which means up to like like go go go um as you see uh you see um you see a phantom

1441
02:07:15,760 --> 02:07:21,040
who is uh perfectly disciplined but also has to give a fierce face to whatever he is a

1442
02:07:21,040 --> 02:07:28,240
fierce protector of you begins to fly upwards you see the yeti

1443
02:07:28,240 --> 02:07:33,400
fiercely climbing along the side of the mountain almost almost actually like keeping pace of

1444
02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:38,400
as phantom has to fight against as the fight against the win um make a dexterity saving

1445
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:41,400
throw okay

1446
02:07:41,400 --> 02:07:58,440
um you you um you see he grabs a rock he grabs a chunk out of the cliff face and just

1447
02:07:58,440 --> 02:08:09,120
tosses it uh tosses it towards you um fan you uh you you see it just in time and you

1448
02:08:09,120 --> 02:08:16,600
ins not being able to dodge it just in time you fear the um you fear phantom to turn um

1449
02:08:16,600 --> 02:08:21,160
shielding the uh shielding the um the two halflings on the on the back of your wyvern

1450
02:08:21,160 --> 02:08:34,600
taking uh the taking the brunt of the uh the rock let's see you take four bloodeding damage

1451
02:08:34,600 --> 02:08:41,520
as the rock shatters over your form but you shielding it the rock breaks over you a mild

1452
02:08:41,520 --> 02:08:50,400
bruise that you're gonna forget in the morning um how much do i know about yetis do i know

1453
02:08:50,400 --> 02:09:01,760
about their um dislike of certain elements yes okay then she she will try to oh wait

1454
02:09:01,760 --> 02:09:06,600
i don't think i'd have anything though actually now i think about it i was like oh it started

1455
02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:15,440
fire that's easy she probably doesn't have it oh maybe okay no no i know she goes um

1456
02:09:15,440 --> 02:09:24,120
she she goes ven can you get the the that saddle bag the torch yeah um she she quickly

1457
02:09:24,120 --> 02:09:33,040
she quickly starts scrambling um she's gonna roll an initiative okay 13 16 um as she as

1458
02:09:33,040 --> 02:09:39,440
she begins to scratch you see the the yeti begin just crouches as if he's about to leap

1459
02:09:39,440 --> 02:09:55,120
um and uh and you see he she pulls out the the torch um and she then once if she's able

1460
02:09:55,120 --> 02:10:02,600
to get the torch lit in time um you begin you begin to uh you begin to to start applying

1461
02:10:02,600 --> 02:10:10,280
with this cold wind is is working against you give me a d20 straight d20 okay here's the

1462
02:10:10,280 --> 02:10:19,640
nat one let's go 15 not a nat one as you're as you're fiercely trying to get this um torch

1463
02:10:19,640 --> 02:10:31,440
working the yeti sleeps off of the cliff face lunging towards you uh hands out at the ready

1464
02:10:31,440 --> 02:10:43,760
as soon as she gets the torch ready she steers phantom around to go towards instead

1465
02:10:43,760 --> 02:10:49,680
going towards the danger um the torch as soon as he leaps off the torch is the torch is

1466
02:10:49,680 --> 02:10:57,400
ready you your hair trigger command immediately followed by phantom as he looks towards the

1467
02:10:57,400 --> 02:11:05,400
danger and flies upwards the flame being carried by you the only fire within the only fire

1468
02:11:05,400 --> 02:11:12,700
within these squalls um immediately as that happens you see the yeti like uh like like

1469
02:11:12,700 --> 02:11:20,380
wide-eyed all of a sudden the the killer form uh the killer from lessons as he as he more

1470
02:11:20,380 --> 02:11:31,080
so brings his hands back leaving himself completely open in the middle of the air okay and with

1471
02:11:31,080 --> 02:11:41,000
that i think she'll just command phantom to at that point almost like knowing that he

1472
02:11:41,000 --> 02:11:49,060
probably will be too paralyzed by the by the fear from the torch to just um i think to

1473
02:11:49,060 --> 02:11:56,520
just like use the momentum of the yeti in the air to push off of and get further away

1474
02:11:56,520 --> 02:12:04,840
from it if that makes sense yes um as the form becomes open as again your you just you

1475
02:12:04,840 --> 02:12:11,080
basically just think it the little motion phantom turns all four legs on the chest of

1476
02:12:11,080 --> 02:12:18,560
the yeti it vaults off the the the opposing force sends the yeti who was lunging at you

1477
02:12:18,560 --> 02:12:26,160
all of a sudden now stop dead in the middle of the air and then send downwards into the

1478
02:12:26,160 --> 02:12:38,360
crevice poor guy um phantom using that momentum flies soars like a bullet through the air

1479
02:12:38,360 --> 02:12:53,960
been stoked been stoked good to phantom as she feels the danger cleared

1480
02:12:53,960 --> 02:13:01,600
you land back at the uh uh you eventually find your way back uh to uh to the wagon landing

1481
02:13:01,600 --> 02:13:13,400
with a gentle um a gentle perch on the snow rudra your knight makes her her way up she

1482
02:13:13,400 --> 02:13:24,740
just goes that was fast it's a bit of a hurry um um you see this you see verani begins helping

1483
02:13:24,740 --> 02:13:42,160
vin to into the wagon um um and vin goes hand them off the torch thanks i owe you a thousand

1484
02:13:42,160 --> 02:13:45,560
now you don't you there's no way you owe me more than i owe you

1485
02:13:45,560 --> 02:13:55,040
i really want i really want i really want to want to host something to you know basically

1486
02:13:55,040 --> 02:14:06,680
my boss but oh yeah oh that's my leg what what even happened did it did it cut off more

1487
02:14:06,680 --> 02:14:11,160
drastically than you expected i told you you probably shouldn't go near the edges i just

1488
02:14:11,160 --> 02:14:15,280
i just kind of had a patient with doing half steps i did a full step but the moment i did

1489
02:14:15,280 --> 02:14:26,480
a full step i kind of completely fell off yeah yeah that tracks i guess don't give me

1490
02:14:26,480 --> 02:14:37,600
the exhibition pots it helps and gets gets hopped into the wagon um van goes we still

1491
02:14:37,600 --> 02:14:46,600
need a clear way for the horses to get past um looking towards you're looking towards

1492
02:14:46,600 --> 02:15:04,640
you um and ru and ruja just goes of course she'll do it yep now take a break yeah you

1493
02:15:04,640 --> 02:15:14,920
know what i think we'll start using my vacation days you should um and ruja just goes you

1494
02:15:14,920 --> 02:15:22,520
know the lord really wants you to know your benefits come on says come on veloura get

1495
02:15:22,520 --> 02:15:34,040
us out of here i'm freezing all right then she'll do it you fly high into the air

1496
02:15:34,040 --> 02:15:42,520
phantom uses um you hug phantom's body clothes as he spins through the air beating away beating

1497
02:15:42,520 --> 02:15:50,960
away all of the uh the strong winds eventually you fly over the storm getting a clear view

1498
02:15:50,960 --> 02:15:58,320
of the area around you you see the what the white storm below and the clear path ahead

1499
02:15:58,320 --> 02:16:04,680
you hold this position for a moment this view this might not be what you're thinking about

1500
02:16:04,680 --> 02:16:10,560
you are definitely objective minded at the moment but this view is something that people

1548
02:22:41,120 --> 02:22:54,800
scared at first all right after you do that why don't you share a drink with me sure um

1549
02:22:54,800 --> 02:23:00,600
she walks away she does not act like this towards anyone else this is her acting warm

02:23:00,600 --> 02:23:05,040
very warm in fact this is the warmest she's ever been because she's known you since you

1555
02:23:36,200 --> 02:23:43,520
anyone and then go back yeah phantom looks at you basically with the eyes that like did

1556
02:23:43,520 --> 02:23:51,240
i do a good job um as you help it towards the stable she's like ben felt phantom and

1557
02:23:51,240 --> 02:23:58,520
uh he rubs his head against you for a moment uh as a sign of affection you bring him towards

1558
02:23:58,520 --> 02:24:03,920
the stable and you see that there's a basket uh like a welcoming basket that says and you

1559
02:24:03,920 --> 02:24:08,600
see those it's in a little nest that has like a bunch of like like like painted eggs on

1560
02:24:08,600 --> 02:24:16,160
it that you think are supposed to someone's artistic depiction of a uh of a white of a

1561
02:24:16,160 --> 02:24:20,280
wyvern's egg even though they're definitely not that small um and there's a sign that

1562
02:24:20,280 --> 02:24:30,200
says welcome uh phantom but it's spelled f a n t o m

1563
02:24:30,200 --> 02:24:37,520
she she picks up an egg isn't it just a drawing of an egg or is it an actual basket of eggs

1564
02:24:37,520 --> 02:24:42,720
it's um there's there's eggs surrounding the basket but the actual basket itself is like

1565
02:24:42,720 --> 02:24:48,520
there's something in it um you have to open it yeah okay she'll look in the basket then

1566
02:24:48,520 --> 02:24:55,800
you open it to see that there is a whole there's a whole ass cooked mutton inside it is one

1567
02:24:55,800 --> 02:25:05,040
of it is one of those anime ass like meats it's just like a big slab of meat on a bone

1568
02:25:05,040 --> 02:25:15,240
she she's like oh well this is great she is you hungry you see phantom ever so disciplined

1569
02:25:15,240 --> 02:25:19,240
but his eyes are widened it's obvious that he wants it but he's not gonna lunge towards

1570
02:25:19,240 --> 02:25:27,520
it he's just looking at you like uh-huh she she picks it up and goes to she throws it

1571
02:25:27,520 --> 02:25:32,960
especially she's not super strong but she tries to throw it a little bit and it's red

1572
02:25:32,960 --> 02:25:42,560
koi which means get it um powerful wyvern powerful wyvern jaws bite on it as he slams

1573
02:25:42,560 --> 02:25:50,800
it down like it's prey and starts eating at it all right that's a good treat for it um

1574
02:25:50,800 --> 02:25:57,680
as uh fan as phantom eats and zoop at him he gives you a slight nuzzle again uh as he

1575
02:25:57,680 --> 02:26:00,880
just you see he settles he settles in very nicely

1576
02:26:00,880 --> 02:26:10,360
he's like i'll see you in the morning okay just and says her little goodbyes and i'm

1577

men uh tending to this and pretty young uh elves uh tending to basically like every

1580
02:26:33,800 --> 02:26:38,080
whim most of them just standing around because they don't have much to do um you see rudra

1581

1584
02:27:12,760 --> 02:27:21,680
done and um i mean how would you have liked to have climbed down and pulled him off the

1585

and pours you a couple of uh whatever's in the gourd i'm not as bad as her you know she'd

1590
02:28:07,200 --> 02:28:12,440

02:36:47,160 --> 02:36:55,080
mom does she does this happen often for her or is this like a kind of a one-time thing

1650
02:36:56,360 --> 02:37:04,120
she's much better at politely refusing the fluff yeah okay i was like realizing as i like

1651
02:37:04,840 --> 02:37:12,920
that maybe i shouldn't have you'll learn but i mean like i like the place i just i mean being

1652
02:37:12,920 --> 02:37:20,920
being coerced into it is kind of not even named leader yet and you're already moving the moving

the world around you big day tomorrow and i packed my dress just in case because i didn't know if we'd

1654

1655
02:37:44,520 --> 02:37:49,080
straighten that out a bit now that i think about it it'll just get messed up when i put it back

1656

he was right getting picked to be the leader the timing works out a lot better this way

1674
02:39:47,500 --> 02:39:51,100

1686
02:41:14,460 --> 02:41:20,860
i don't think i don't think dad knew what he was doing by hiring him i mean it's a good good choice

1687
02:41:21,820 --> 02:41:28,860
but i think he's a little bit more um i don't think he's as straight-laced as

1688
02:41:29,660 --> 02:41:36,860
as dad likes you know like he's not like uh like he's really good at looking all business perfect

by the crown by arnador the central region the one that surveys over all the other regions

1713
02:44:57,020 --> 02:45:06,140
um on a door in the center but you have four other houses to contend with to contend with

1714
02:45:06,140 --> 02:45:13,020
and to cooperate with for that is the purpose of irobran in the first place

1715
02:45:14,380 --> 02:45:19,500
um so that people from all regions can come together and mingle with one another and you

guys can learn from each other's life experiences um

1717
02:45:24,940 --> 02:45:36,540
um built so um this place built over 900 built 971 years ago it's a place of history almost as

1718
02:45:36,540 --> 02:45:43,100
old as the kingdom itself and it's going to be one it's going to be your job to uphold the mantle

1719
02:45:43,740 --> 02:45:54,380
of the silver lions and make a lot of new friends while you're at it friends from the blue wolves

1720
02:45:54,380 --> 02:46:02,540
house um a house comprising of students from the northern region of aurora then there's golden moose

1721
02:46:03,500 --> 02:46:08,780
that comes from the western region of conica and then there's the crimson griffins which come from

1722
02:46:08,780 --> 02:46:17,820
the southern region of stravae and then you have to deal with the black boars that comes from the

1723
02:46:17,820 --> 02:46:27,580
eastern region of the fozure now you've been told about all the different kinds of personalities and

1724
02:46:27,580 --> 02:46:33,260
and what the things you can expect at irobran officers academy but all everything said to you

1725
02:46:33,260 --> 02:46:39,020
things that were meant to build pressure or to build um experience it's just all built up if

1726
02:46:39,020 --> 02:46:47,740
anything expectations excitement you were always one to go head first into danger and this is no

1727
02:46:47,740 --> 02:46:57,340
different you don't just go head first you careen into it you um you venture it doesn't matter if

1728
02:46:57,340 --> 02:47:07,660
you're sure-footed or not even though you do tend you do like to make sure you are um there is

1729
02:47:07,660 --> 02:47:18,060
is you embody your the silver lions house motto exactly and you didn't you never meant to it was

1730
02:47:18,060 --> 02:47:28,700
just you naturally witness valor and who better to embody that is valora

1731
02:47:28,700 --> 02:47:42,300
uh the naming ceremony is tomorrow big occasion that means the king and queen will be there

1732
02:47:43,580 --> 02:47:51,100
probably the little probably probably the little prince boy at the moment um a bunch of the noble

1733
02:47:51,100 --> 02:47:57,100
houses maybe a bunch of other aeon mart houses from throughout the kingdom it's an occasion

1734
02:47:57,100 --> 02:48:04,700
the um the silver lions naming ceremony is special in the fact that it's the only one where the king

1735
02:48:04,700 --> 02:48:09,580
is actually present and when the king is present something everyone else tends to be drawn there

1736
02:48:11,100 --> 02:48:20,060
like moths to a flame you're going to be seeing a lot of people and the thing is the occasion

1737
02:48:20,060 --> 02:48:29,420
occasion is you and you will be the center of attention this is something that your father has

1738
02:48:29,420 --> 02:48:39,900
wanted um and this is a ceremony that your father has done a lot to organize for

1739
02:48:39,900 --> 02:48:49,020
because a part of this naming ceremony is a choice that you get to make you are named the leader

1740
02:48:50,060 --> 02:48:56,620
of the silver lions to lead the next three years of the server of the academic house at iraq rain

1741
02:48:57,740 --> 02:49:05,660
but there's another thing you have to do another tradition it is tradition for you for the leader

1742
02:49:05,660 --> 02:49:15,100
of a house to name a retainer their second a close a close ally who has all of the interest at heart

1743
02:49:15,900 --> 02:49:23,020
and who can who can lead the house in a pinch someone who is battle tested who has been with

1744
02:49:23,020 --> 02:49:36,540
you who you trust with your life and that's someone is someone you don't know exactly you

1745
02:49:36,540 --> 02:49:43,340
know him you know him a little bit but you haven't fought any battles together you haven't

1746
02:49:43,340 --> 02:49:51,820
you haven't fought any battles together you haven't he looks nice rich rich family but not a noble

1747
02:49:51,820 --> 02:49:59,260
apparently he knows how to wield a spear he knows how to fight well and when you met him it was

1748
02:49:59,260 --> 02:50:09,900
pleasant enough gram alizon who's going to be at the ceremony um who's going to be your retainer

1749
02:50:09,900 --> 02:50:20,300
in waiting until you name him right then and there big day tomorrow probably gonna be a whole

1750
02:50:20,300 --> 02:50:26,860
session and oh people gonna be waving at you and oh gosh are you gonna have to do more unsolicited

1751
02:50:26,860 --> 02:50:45,340
ads reads what would mom do work probably um your mom the lord of house avanlea the beacon of

1752
02:50:45,340 --> 02:50:53,500
progress in this entire almost in this entire kingdom endless efforts has done nothing but

1753
02:50:53,500 --> 02:51:00,300
improve the lives of people she's the one with the a on mark not your dad and but naturally you're

1754
02:51:00,300 --> 02:51:04,540
gonna be the one following in her footsteps not because she has an a and mark but because she's

1755
02:51:04,540 --> 02:51:19,660
good that night you settle in she's about to like leap into bed and then things like oh huh maybe

1756
02:51:19,660 --> 02:51:26,220
i should check for like more recording devices and then we can see all clear ghost of it

1757
02:51:27,100 --> 02:51:33,180
no recording devices well okay that would be massively bad that'd be very bad

1758
02:51:37,020 --> 02:51:40,300
because no one would want to mess with an a on marked house

1759
02:51:40,300 --> 02:51:48,780
but having but but having the um the blessings of one having the uh the sponsor sponsorship of one

1760
02:51:48,780 --> 02:51:57,580
it would do massive wonders for someone um you fall asleep eventually

1761
02:52:00,940 --> 02:52:06,940
and i'll have to ask um what is the most pertinent thing on velour's mind

1762
02:52:06,940 --> 02:52:13,660
as she falls asleep she's just excited is all i don't think there's a lot of stress

1763
02:52:14,540 --> 02:52:21,180
it's she's excited she wanted to go to ira brin last year she's old enough um

1764
02:52:21,820 --> 02:52:27,420
is encouraged to wait because then the previous house leader would be graduating

1765
02:52:29,180 --> 02:52:31,820
she did and she's glad to finally go

1766
02:52:31,820 --> 02:52:37,740
your eyes shoot open

1767
02:52:40,940 --> 02:52:43,660
morning's here it's the day

02:52:46,220 --> 02:52:48,940

1773
02:53:25,180 --> 02:53:31,980
it in the bag it will like not get as wrinkly you know what i don't know my lady but like i think

1774
02:53:31,980 --> 02:53:43,820
that might work yeah okay like carefully she rolls it on the bed you see one of the

1775
02:53:43,820 --> 02:53:46,700
sir you see one of the servants who is ready to help goes

1776
02:53:49,420 --> 02:53:52,140

1778
02:53:59,660 --> 02:54:07,980

sound of scrubbing um as you see two of the two of the uh two of the servants here the employees

1789
02:55:33,500 --> 02:55:40,700
at the academy you see phantom is on his uh back uh with like his legs up and they're both they're

1790
02:55:40,700 --> 02:55:46,540
all like they're both scrubbing him with like so but he's just enjoying it

1791
02:55:46,540 --> 02:55:50,540

1795
02:56:18,380 --> 02:56:24,460
just gently nudges the bucket closer to them and it just lays his head back um

1796
02:56:26,220 --> 02:56:32,860
and they eventually to get him all cleaned his um some of the scales that are scarred are now

1797
02:56:32,860 --> 02:56:36,780
much more pronounced and just better you see he he definitely feels good

1798
02:56:36,780 --> 02:56:38,380
he he definitely feels good

1799
02:56:43,740 --> 02:56:48,140
and of course comes up to you and just gives you a little gives you a little headbutt to the head

1800
02:56:50,380 --> 02:56:59,100
she just rubs her hands along his neck i guess thanks you know you guys get a lot of like

1801
02:56:59,100 --> 02:57:08,860
wyverns and stuff through here well this is a first but um we figured that a good scrub

1802
02:57:08,860 --> 02:57:13,100
and some soap is a universal concept and he seemed to enjoy it

1803
02:57:15,420 --> 02:57:21,340
yeah well thanks i i know a lot of times people are pretty scared at first so

1804
02:57:22,140 --> 02:57:27,740
i'm glad he got to make some friends oh he was a gentleman he he made sure to hide this thing

1805
02:57:27,740 --> 02:57:42,700
girl away from us she does that's good um they bow politely towards you as a fan as you lead phantom

1806
02:57:42,700 --> 02:57:55,180
off towards his wagon right phantom uh gets into his part of the wagon he he's carrying a completely

1807
02:57:55,180 --> 02:58:06,140
separate part um and you get into yours and you begin to make your way towards destiny

1808
02:58:07,740 --> 02:58:16,220
getting into getting into the wagon seeing um seeing the seeing the seeing the sun barely

1809
02:58:16,220 --> 02:58:27,740
breaking uh the sky you travel early um you have nothing but visages of thoughts of what might

1810
02:58:27,740 --> 02:58:33,660
happen of what might happen what's going to happen oh gosh are you gonna have to give a speech um

1811
02:58:34,300 --> 02:58:40,780
this and that this and that um your father your father gave you an itinerary of like what's

1812
02:58:40,780 --> 02:58:48,620
gonna happen like there's like five stages i might have not looked at it exactly start going through

1813
02:58:48,620 --> 02:58:55,180
my stuff trying to look for if i actually took it with me give me a d20 okay

1814
02:58:58,220 --> 02:59:05,820

1815
02:59:05,820 --> 02:59:11,740
um okay a bunch of this stuff was stuff you were like when you when you were when you were scouting

1816
02:59:11,740 --> 02:59:15,980
out the land uh and you have to throw away some stuff oh gosh it's one of these

1817
02:59:18,620 --> 02:59:26,460
straightening things eventually you find it a little wit from snow um i got into your bag

1818
02:59:26,460 --> 02:59:38,300
um you you you you do make out like okay procession come to this area of ruby cushion um and then

1819
02:59:39,100 --> 02:59:42,940
you kind of have to squint at a couple of things what does that even mean

1820
02:59:46,860 --> 02:59:51,340
you see rujas's look he's rujas is like like leaned behind you and like looking

1821
02:59:51,340 --> 02:59:57,980
you and like looking um you can't his handwriting is horrible it's not the snow it's not the snow

1822
02:59:59,580 --> 03:00:00,060
you're right

1823
03:00:03,820 --> 03:00:05,580
just don't worry i know what to do

1824
03:00:08,460 --> 03:00:10,140
um i could just throw this all out right

1825
03:00:12,540 --> 03:00:13,100
if you want

1826
03:00:13,100 --> 03:00:20,300
she's not gonna throw it out the window so she just puts it back

1827
03:00:23,180 --> 03:00:25,500
make that note to throw away later um

1828
03:00:28,380 --> 03:00:36,860
and you travel it's just being in the wagon uh being in the wagon with a heart that's too big

1829
03:00:36,860 --> 03:00:43,500
for your chest right now with a day that's too big uh ahead of you um

1830
03:00:48,220 --> 03:00:55,580
the hours pass and the sky grows red

1831
03:00:55,580 --> 03:01:08,220
um as the sky as the sky grows red um you see it ahead of you the walled city of tokor eventually

1832
03:01:08,220 --> 03:01:12,860
leaving crossing the border of aurora crossing getting out of the cold and into the verdant

1833
03:01:12,860 --> 03:01:18,300
greens you you eventually start changing your outfit to like better represent the the change

1834
03:01:18,300 --> 03:01:29,020
in temperature tokor in front of you and you see the castle that's where destiny lies

1835
03:01:32,620 --> 03:01:43,580
um ruja kind of like shoves like the uh the like kind of like shoves your the bag into your chest

1836
03:01:43,580 --> 03:01:50,140
um just goes you ready kid

1837
03:01:53,180 --> 03:01:53,820
i think so

1838
03:01:58,780 --> 03:02:08,060
something that's unbegniable is that that sky is so clear right now save for a few clouds

1839
03:02:08,060 --> 03:02:11,180
is so clear right now save for a few clouds

1840
03:02:15,340 --> 03:02:22,460
and you realize at this moment oh you haven't actually flown over tokor yet

1841
03:02:23,740 --> 03:02:30,300
you haven't flown over the castle you haven't flown over the heart the supposed heart

1842
03:02:32,300 --> 03:02:33,020
of the kingdom

1843
03:02:33,020 --> 03:02:42,460
um like yeah i think i should probably hurry you know i have time to get dressed i can go the rest

1844
03:02:42,460 --> 03:02:52,300
of the way the phantom she grabs the dress hanging up in the carriage because oh yeah you sure

1845
03:02:54,060 --> 03:02:59,340
that's not yeah not that's not gonna get mad that you're not traveling with a knife by your side

1846
03:02:59,340 --> 03:03:04,140
i'm we're basically here i mean it's the capital

1847
03:03:08,860 --> 03:03:17,180
well i'm gonna tell him i tried to stop you oh yeah but you're a slippery one

1848
03:03:19,420 --> 03:03:22,620
i mean that look of yours almost makes me want to stop so it's not a lie

1849
03:03:22,620 --> 03:03:28,060
um she smiles a little bit how's that

1850
03:03:30,780 --> 03:03:37,500
perfect and she like goes to jump out of the carriage but like um pretends like she's walking

1851
03:03:37,500 --> 03:03:45,740
towards rudra side and then like slips around to escape her she makes it she makes this really

1852
03:03:45,740 --> 03:03:54,620
half-hearted grasp emotion had nothing as you'd slip around her open up the wagon with the phantom

1853
03:03:54,620 --> 03:04:05,340
in it and you see he perched his head up like it's go time she she grabs him out and um tries to

1854
03:04:05,340 --> 03:04:14,620
gingerly lay the dress across so that it will get more wrinkled from the bag flattened but also

1855
03:04:14,620 --> 03:04:22,780
won't fall and hop some and his fear

1856
03:04:28,860 --> 03:04:35,740
shoots up into the air um as you as you shoot up in as you shoot up into the air

1857
03:04:35,740 --> 03:04:45,180
up into these uh up into this crimson red this beautiful dawn um you you soar up into the air

1858
03:04:45,180 --> 03:04:53,260
spiraling maneuvering upwards feeling the feeling the fresh wind of of of these special of the

1859
03:04:53,260 --> 03:05:00,140
of the special air discharged air in your face flying above the stone walls flying above the

1860
03:05:00,140 --> 03:05:06,060
ramparts with uh ballistas on them you see the guards on top of them kind of like kind of like

1861
03:05:06,060 --> 03:05:11,100
kind of like kind of like look and and when they see you when they see velour when they see the

1862
03:05:11,100 --> 03:05:18,780
wyvern they just kind of kind of like tilt their head like kind of bewildered at this um as you

1863
03:05:18,780 --> 03:05:25,980
fly over the walls over this says it says over the city you see the dotted um the dotted buildings

1864
03:05:25,980 --> 03:05:32,620
the the small beats of people below you people lighting the streets people people are gathered

1865
03:05:32,620 --> 03:05:43,900
for an occasion um you see as you fly overhead as you are undoubtedly the thing that catches

1866
03:05:43,900 --> 03:05:52,620
everyone's eye in the sky at the moment as you are a figure of you know gray and black amongst a sea

1867
03:05:52,620 --> 03:06:01,340
of red um she's and then she's gonna show off to is the thing what do you do to show off

1868
03:06:02,540 --> 03:06:10,620
she uh she's has him um you know spinning turning because she i think actually yeah she would have

1869
03:06:10,620 --> 03:06:17,180
strapped strapped herself in well enough so she's able to turn with him but then realizes like oh

1870
03:06:17,180 --> 03:06:24,140
wait the dress i laid across and like reaches to grab it to try to hold it flat as she goes the

1871
03:06:24,140 --> 03:06:32,540
dress flies off for a second you you command you command um you do like this little diving

1872
03:06:32,540 --> 03:06:38,940
motion with phantom like it's like a stunt um like those blue angel shows and you just grab it

1873
03:06:38,940 --> 03:06:47,180
and you see people you hear cheers from below okay that kind of works out she kind of says to phantom

1874
03:06:47,180 --> 03:06:52,940
and she goes okay she'll have him go straight up and then she'll like throw the dress on purpose

1875
03:06:52,940 --> 03:06:56,780
and then go to dive and catch it this time now that she's really showing off with it

1876
03:06:57,580 --> 03:07:04,220
the whole idea now um going up throwing the uh throwing the dress uh down and downwards

1877
03:07:04,220 --> 03:07:11,980
and you you leap off of phantom diving downwards in a free fall for a moment and then you are caught

1878
03:07:13,020 --> 03:07:17,500
by phantoms as he sweeps beneath you and

1879
03:07:20,460 --> 03:07:27,500
enjoy the rest of her flight and and she needs to go and as the flight uh as the flight you can you

1880
03:07:27,500 --> 03:07:34,940
see phantom he's disciplined but he does you do the fuel he looks back to you he wants to do something

1881
03:07:37,500 --> 03:07:40,460
shame says

1882
03:07:43,740 --> 03:07:45,340
