[k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] ...Nn... [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] I...can't move...[sr]Munenori, what...is this place? [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori Ah, so you have awoken, my goddess. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori This is the altar where the Primordial Goddess fell into a deep slumber[line 2]the holy ground of the Ancient Shrine Bel Maanna. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori On this altar, your body will serve as a catalyst with which to awaken the Primordial Goddess. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori That is to say...you will be sacrificed. [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] ...I see. So instead of making me into the perfect goddess, you're going to offer me up to her... [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] Before I go, just let me ask you this.[sr]Why did you raise me? [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] You said yourself that Ishtar was a better match for the Primordial Goddess. [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] So if you knew that all along,[sr]why didn't you take her instead of me? [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori Given how matters have unfolded, yes, perhaps that would have been the more prudent course of action. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori She would even have been a better evil commander than you, as you took it much more seriously than you should have. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori But none of that matters now. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori We discovered you in Tokiomi's house when you were still just an infant. An infant that had been sealed away to ensure you would never awaken. [k] [charaFace G 1] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori There was something stern and ill-tempered about your expression that told me you had the potential to be a fine swordfighter. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori I have grown sentimental in my old age, and it was that sentimentality that led to my choosing you. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori Now that your skills have exceeded mine, I know that I chose right. Compared to the joy of seeing you surpass me, nothing else matters. [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] ...I see. Thank you, Munenori. [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] I am the half of the goddess that humans rejected. [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] The half that reincarnated as a human to try to reach an understanding with them, only to be told I had no place in their world. [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] But you, Munenori, have served me well,[sr]so you are now free to do with me as you wish. [k] ＠Ashtart [charaTalk D] I... I'm just sorry that...[sr]I couldn't live up to your hopes for me. [k] [messageOff] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_48 2.0] [wt 1.4] [charaFace G 0] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori ...Now then.

But here in this ancient shrine, Lady Ashtart is a better fit. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori I was hoping she could obtain the Primordial Goddess's power for herself... [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori But now that a Master and the goddess's good and evil halves are all gathered at this shrine, there is no stopping what comes next. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori Two thousand years ago, the Primordial Goddess, Ashtart Origin, was resurrected and defeated on this very spot. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori Now, she will be resurrected once again,[sr]using Lady Ashtart as her Spirit Core. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori Next, Ashtart Origin will absorb Ishtar, her remaining half, and the Master will become the keystone keeping her materialized. [k] [charaFace G 1] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori ...Heh. I could hope for no better subordinate than a Primordial Goddess with our commander at her core. [k] ＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori There is no stopping her resurrection now.
