@
What spurred her on was the enormous beast outside, separated from her by only a single wall of stone...
[k]
@
Cernunnos, the enshrined deity, and his eerily quiet curse that seemed to oppress the very air.

[seVolume 21_ad1143 1.0 0.4]
@Altria
I know. It's here. It's here...! It's crawling up from the bottom of the pit right now!
[k]
@
[lr]Before they set out for the spirit cavern, the[sr]curse had crawled up from the pit and completely[sr]destroyed Camelot.
[k]
@
It had arrived one hour after Cernunnos first appeared.
[k]
@
There wasn't much time left. Ten minutes at best. Five at worst.
[k]
@
Before that time ran out, she had to reach Morgan's throne, learn its workings...
[k]
@
...and change it into something she could use herself.
[k]
@Altria
(Huff... Huff... Huff... Huff!)
[k]
@
[lr]Before, she would have probably said it was[sr]impossible and looked for another way.
[k]
@
But now, she knew she could pull it off.
[k]
@
She was a different person after coming back from the Site of Selection.
[k]
@
Now, she was more than half fantastical.
[k]
@
Now, she knew about the king who would one day draw the Sword of Selection and, sacred sword in hand, guide Britain to the future...
[k]
@
And she knew that she herself was an intrinsic part of that concept.

Someone who stands at the edge of the world,[sr]rather than its center.

@Altria
A beacon at the farthest point, no matter what sort of end may be upon us...

[k]
@
An old, nostalgic story. The story of a nameless hero made from countless hopes.

There! I definitely recognize this intersection![sr]Then it's just up this way!

He was right to be angry.[sr]He was right to curse faeries.

Sensing the curse may be about to end, countless rancorous voices clamored around her as if to try and stop her.

Faerie deaths piled up endlessly over the course of fourteen thousand years rushed upward in a torrent.

@Altria
...Wow. She really was a genius.
[k]
@
[lr]But right now, her mind was consumed not with the encroaching threat, but with praise for Morgan.
[k]
@
Morgan wasn't just an incredibly talented faerie. She'd also had the brilliant idea to make all of Camelot into a giant Mystic Code.
[k]
@
And even though the spell to make it was utterly massive, its connections to her magical circuits and magical energy circulation were still absolutely perfect.
[k]
@
It was the work of a prodigy without equal. It was no wonder she had been the greatest of the Avalon le Fae.
[k]
@
The problem was, the whole system had been designed with the intention that said genius would be its operator.

You can't go from one era to the next. At least, not while retaining your memories.
[k]
@Aesc
Even I could never do that.[sr]It would only lead to contradictions.

@Aesc
If I added this loop's knowledge to myself in the Era of the High Queen, I'd no longer be able to exist.

@Aesc
We have no choice but to forget about Mash.

[charaFace I 25]
@Aesc
...If, even knowing all that,[sr]you still want to remember her...
[k]
@Aesc
...you will need to steel yourself.
[k]
@Aesc
So long as you retain memories of Mash, you will not be meant to exist in this world...
[k]
@Aesc
Your entire life up until Mash is sent here from Norwich will disappear...
[k]
@Aesc
And no one will be able to speak[sr]the first Tam Lin's name.
[k]
@Aesc
Let me be clear. No one in the Era of the High Queen can ever know you were one of my first knights.
[k]
@Aesc
If even one person realizes you're actually Totorot, you'll vanish from the Era of the High Queen.
[k]
@Aesc
You are from a fantastical Lostbelt. As such, there is no way for you to survive in the reality of a Singularity.
[k]
@Aesc
So...I am going to erase all of Mash's memories of you.
[k]
@Aesc
Everything from the moment she meets you in Sheffield in 2019, to the moment she enters her coffin.
[k]
@Aesc
So long as she has no memory of you, you should be able to live in the Era of the High Queen as well.
[k]
@Aesc
Which is why you'll have to stay away from Mash once she's been freed from her coffin.
[k]
@Aesc
If she remembers you, you'll vanish from the Era of the High Queen.
[k]
@Aesc
You'll disappear when the morning lark sings, just like a summer night's dream.
