Seems like everyone in town's caught Child of Prophecy fever. Maybe we should help her out, Oberon?

Oh, I'm sure she isn't. Altria's always been keenly aware of the pressure that comes with faeries pinning their hopes on her.

At the same time, she's always been good at handling those very hopes.

@Oberon
The people she's talking to now aren't just hoping she'll keep them safe because they're only worried about themselves.

@Oberon
She's seeing something much purer than that now.

@Oberon
In fact, I'd bet she's actually proud to be the Child of Prophecy for the first time in her life.

@Oberon
It's like her eyes have been clouded by everything she's seen all this time, and she's finally seeing clearly.

Nnn, I don't know if I agree with that. The beast almost looks like it loves them.

I think so, too. You probably can't feel it 'cause you're a Proper Human History Heroic Spirit, Muramasa, but this beast is definitely depicted as very loving.
