I can't do this! I just... I can't do this!

[lr]But no one would listen no matter how loud I screamed. Besides, the wind was blowing so fiercely I couldn't even hear myself.
[k]

After everything I experienced in the village, and getting to know more faeries better, the storm only intensified.
[k]
＠
I have no idea which direction I should go, or what I should even look for.
[k]
＠
I know how this sounds, but Queen Morgan was honestly kind of lucky.
[k]
＠
She wanted to make Britain into her own kingdom.
[k]

It was thanks to that powerful, envy-inspiring goal of hers that she navigated this storm without losing her way.

But I don't have anything like that. Not. One. Single. Thing.

...No, that's not right. I could see a way. It was shown to me when I rang the Bells of Pilgrimage.
[k]
＠
Altria Pendragon, King of Britain.
[k]
＠
When I heard that she was my Proper Human History self, I thought I was going to throw up.
[k]
＠
The ideal knight. A king who lived her whole life for others, and sacrificed all she had for Britain's future.
[k]
＠
I don't want to end up like her.[sr]I could never live a life like that.
[k]
＠
But to create the sacred sword is[sr]to also determine her fate.
[k]
＠
Without the sacred sword,[sr]her life would be different.

＠
Without the sacred sword,[sr]Britain would come to a different end.
[k]
＠Caster
...Forget this. I should just give up.[sr]Yeah, that's it.
[k]
＠Caster
After all, I'm the only one who can save her.

Now that the sacred sword has been delivered to the planet's inner sea, the premise behind this Lostbelt has been overturned.

That's right. Once Cernunnos shows up and covers the land in his curse, not even the sacred sword's protection will be enough for you to win.

So I'm going to have him go back in time by, oh...let's say two hours.
[k]
＠Merlin
See, I suspected something like this might happen,[sr]so I've kept the entire pit in a dream.
[k]
＠Merlin
Once I have Cernunnos wake up, it'll be as though the events of that dream[line 2]that is, everything that took place there over the last two hours[line 2]never happened.

？2：You did something similar in Uruk, didn't you?

Indeed. It's been pretty boring waiting around here ever since I was freed from the Garden, so I spent some time casting a spell on the pit.

My Spirit Origin is practically falling apart now as a result, but oh well.
[k]
＠Merlin
Suffice to say, once I disengage my dream zone,[sr]I'll probably disappear along with it.
