[k] [bgm BGM_MAP_73 0.1] @Singing Faeries “I shall speak now of a future, of the end of the isle of Mystics, which came to be known as Faerieland.” [k] @Singing Faeries “Let the innocent return. Here stands the queen’s unknowable castle.” [k] @Singing Faeries “It falls. It falls. Like rain. Like ash.[sr]It vanishes. It vanishes. Like snow. Like lies.” [k] @Singing Faeries “Our desires languish, deferred. Even now, we dance in the palm of the queen’s hand.” [k] @Singing Faeries “We require now only a little more patience. After two thousand years, the dawn shall bring the child who will be our salvation.” [k] @Singing Faeries “She shall be the child who saves the world, who binds both peoples together.” [k] @Singing Faeries “Even if her light begins as but an ember, even should no one see it, she will become as a flame to draw moths.” [k] @Singing Faeries “A city of iron. A sea of soot. When the calamity recedes, her pilgrimage begins.” [k] @Singing Faeries “Chosen by the Staff of Selection, the savior, guarded by travelers from afar, shall reach the throne.” [k] @Singing Faeries “The true king shall arrive at the throne. Accept now this bloodied crown.” [k] @Singing Faeries “Ring. Ring. Like raging thunder. Like weeping flame. Let us harken to the six bells ringing. Blaze the path of the true king.” [k] @Singing Faeries “Ere the red calamity catches us. Ere the black calamity devours us.” [k] @Singing Faeries “Indolent and derelict though we may be, we are the scions of the free fae.” [k] @Singing Faeries “Never have we wished for anything. But still we desire a shining future.” [k] [bgmStop BGM_MAP_73 1.0] @Da Vinci There's no mention of Norwich being[sr]destroyed in that song. [k] @Da Vinci So why did Oberon say there was nothing anyone could do to stop its destruction? [k] @Da Vinci I wonder... Does he know more of this song than everyone else? [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 1.0] [wait fade] [scene 120200] [wt 1.0] [fadein black 1.0] [wait fade] [bgm BGM_EVENT_77 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Oberon I do, as a matter of fact. The prophecy actually has eighteen verses in total. [k] @Oberon Most faeries are only familiar with the fourteen we[sr]just heard, but there are actually four more. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaSet A 1098209600 1 Oberon] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 31] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Da Vinci I knew it! Why didn't you tell us this sooner, Oberon!? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Oberon I just forgot to mention it, okay!? I'm sorry! Can we please drop it!? [k] ?1:You can't just bluster your way through mistakes, you know. [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.0] [charaFace A 3] @Oberon ...You're right. But I don't want to lie, either.[sr]It's hard on me. [k] ?2:...I'm guessing you had a reason you couldn't tell us? [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.0] [charaFace A 4] @Oberon ...In retrospect, maybe I was being a little overprotective. I'm sorry about that. [k] ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] [charaFace A 0] @Oberon All right, I'll tell you. These are the other four verses of the prophecy, at least as I heard them. [k] @Oberon Verse 8.5: “The harbor shall return to empty shore, but the calamity shall vanish into the distant sky.” [k] @Oberon Verse 9.5: “The round fortress shall burn, and the bell of water shall appear.” [k] @Oberon Verse 10.5: “Confessed sinners shall make the acquaintance of the guillotine.” [k] @Oberon Verse 12.5: “Having fulfilled her role, the Child of Prophecy shall say farewell to her home.” [k] [charaFace A 4] @Oberon As you can see, these verses are a lot more ominous. [k] @Oberon That, and the fact that they're not very precise for a prophecy might be why they were excised. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Oberon Case in point, verse 8.5: “The harbor shall return to empty shore, but the calamity shall vanish into the distant sky.” [k] @Oberon The harbor is obviously Norwich, and the empty shore part must mean the city was going to be wiped off the coast. [k] @Oberon So I was steeling myself to lose Norwich even if we were able to repel the calamity, but, well[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 24] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Norwich didn't fall. Is it...because another Child of Prophecy appeared? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Oberon Could be. This basically proves that not even Ainsel's prophecies are perfect, especially for these four verses. [k] @Oberon So I've decided I'm just not going[sr]to worry about them anymore. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Oberon Now, on a more important note,[sr]you guys need to get going soon. [k] @Oberon Between Altria, Gareth, Muramasa, and Habetrot,[sr]I think you should all be safe without me. [k] @Oberon So I hope you don't mind if I go off on my own again. [k] ?1:More information gathering? ?! [charaFaceFade A 9 0.2] @Oberon Partly, yes, but I also just really want to give Spriggan his comeuppance. [k] @Oberon So I thought I'd stay here and work with the Count to knock him down a peg or two dozen until he hits rock bottom. [k] [charaFace A 10] @Oberon Besides, we could have been reunited with Mash much sooner if he hadn't insisted on keeping the Child of Prophecy in his castle. [k] @Oberon Don't you think he deserves at least a little punishment for that? [k] ?1:I'd say he deserves a LOT. ?2:Make sure you hit him where it really hurts: in the wallet. ?! [charaFace A 11] @Oberon Just leave it to me! Bloodshed may not be the Faerie King's style, but I can definitely bleed him dry financially!

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Da Vinci He's staying behind, too. Technically, he's still Aurora's retainer, after all... [k] @Da Vinci ...and it wouldn't be good for her if he were seen with us right now. [k] @Da Vinci So I'm gonna have him stay here with Oberon, and bring the carriage if we need it. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 3] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Gareth I see. That makes sense. But, um... You there, the pink faerie. Habetrot, right?

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 6] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Habetrot Don't worry about me! I'll be fine! Just think of me as a spectator along for the ride. [k] [charaFace F 10] @Habetrot In fact, you should probably be more worried about yourself than me, Gareth. [k] @Habetrot I'm the irreplaceable healer every party needs in combat, AND I'm probably stronger than you, too! [k] [charaFace F 0] @Habetrot Don't worry, [%1]. I'm not gonna let you die before you and Mash are reunited. [k] @Habetrot So feel free to wade into battle all you like! [k] [charaFace F 1] @Habetrot As long as you don't die, I can patch you up with my magic needle no matter what horrific injuries you sustain! [k] ?1:Uh... Good to know, thanks... ?2:That sounds both very close to and very far from Nightingale's preferred treatment methods. [charaFace F 10] @Habetrot Nightingale? Now that's a nice faerie name.
