[k] @Rob They knew we'd die when we got squeezed for our existence tax at the end of the year, so they didn't even bother killing us. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Rob That's why I threw myself into any kind of work I could find, no matter how dirty. [k] @Rob You know what Wag is like. He doesn't even know what's going on half the time. [k] @Rob Still, I'm like his big brother, so it's my duty to at least make sure he's got enough to eat. [k] @Rob My only purpose every year was making sure we survived. At least that kept us from becoming mors. [k] [charaFace C 7] @Rob But, unfortunately, it also made me forget a bunch of things. Hesitation, uncertainty...compassion... [k] @Rob The next thing I knew, I was thinking I was a full-blown bad guy, and that I could do whatever I wanted. [k] [charaFace C 17] @Rob It would've been a lot easier if I'd just stayed like that.

[k] [charaFace B 4] @Boggart ...Tch. You just can't keep your mouth shut, can you? You're lucky there's no other faerie around who can do your job, or I'd have twisted your head clean off by now.

That's pretty sharp, at least for you, Lord Boggart. It's nice to hear you voice an honest opinion I agree with for on[line 2] [k] [charaFace B 3] @Boggart Never mind the Child of Prophecy. Can we use that thing as a weapon? [k] [charaFace E 5] @Habetrot Yeah, pretty much. I mean, it IS a cannon and all.[sr]Do you know what a cannon is? No? [k] @Habetrot It's a thing with a chamber that you pack with magical energy ammo, then you compress and burn what's inside the chamber until something comes out. [k] @Habetrot The only thing is, it takes a ton of magical energy to use. Enough that most faeries would probably wither and die if they tried. [k] @Habetrot So if you plan on using it, Boggart, you'd better ensure you're the only one. Don't make your subordinates do it. [k] @Habetrot No normal faerie could fire that thing and hope to survive. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Boggart So what you're saying is, only those who are truly strong can use it, hm? [k] @Boggart Hmph, that's perfect. It will be an excellent way to demonstrate that I have what it takes to be king. [k] [charaFace E 9] @Habetrot Ugh, I should've known I couldn't get anything through your thick skull... [k] [charaFace E 7] @Habetrot But anyway, getting back to what I was saying before...

[k] [charaFace B 1] @Boggart ...Hah. [k] [charaFace B 8] @Boggart Hahahahaha![sr]It's almost shocking how little she thinks of us! [k] [charaFace B 6] @Boggart They'll never be able to get past Sheffield's walls. [k] @Boggart Our ramparts are made from strips of the world tree's bark. They won't be easily destroyed. [k] @Boggart We have nothing to fear from the queen's army without a Tam Lin, and with Cnoc na Riabh moving south, she can't afford to send more than one division. [k] @Boggart All we have to do is wait seven days for them to wear themselves out against the ramparts. [k] @Boggart Once we've held the castle for seven days, the queen's third division will have spent its strength. [k] @Boggart Then my elite soldiers and I need only release our pent up anger from the siege.

It's so nice of you to visit me again. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Boggart Don't misunderstand. I'm only here to save face in front of my guards. [k] @Boggart Otherwise, no Fang faerie worth his fur would ever come to the room of a woman he has no intention of bedding. [k] @Boggart Still, now that I'm here, I'm not about to waste my precious time. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Boggart Hmm... Let's discuss the Child of Prophecy tonight. How much do you know about them now that your memories are gone? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash ...Not much, I'm afraid. Only they are a faerie, they turn sixteen this year, and are destined to save Britain. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Boggart ...Outrageous. I didn't think it was possible to be so abominably ignorant. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_77 1.0] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash ... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Boggart ...The Child of Prophecy's story begins sixteen years ago. [k] @Boggart Ainsel, the head of the Mirror clan who possessed the sacrament of prognostication... [k] @Boggart ...prophesized that the savior of Britain had been born... [k] @Boggart ...and that one day the true king would defeat the false king for good. [k] @Boggart In response, Queen Morgan tried to have every faerie born that year rounded up and killed, but she wasn't completely successful. [k] @Boggart There were many villages who harbored anti-queen sentiment... [k] @Boggart Some of them sheltered newborn faeries in the hope that one would someday fulfill the prophecy. [k] @Boggart Of course, there were also some towns who took faeries born that year and tried to pass them off as the Child of Prophecy. [k] @Boggart These days, some have even offered sixteen-year-old faeries in tribute to the queen, claiming they too are the Child of Prophecy. [k] @Boggart That alone makes the Child of Prophecy valuable. It's why every faction in Britain was desperate to find them. [k] @Boggart For not one faerie ever doubted that Ainsel's prophecy would come true. [k] @Boggart You see, they knew this had happened before. There have been other times in Britain's history where a savior has been born to rescue it. [k] @Boggart A figure meant to banish the great calamity that comes every thousand years, the one who channels the voice from paradise. [k] @Boggart At any rate, all but two of the records from the Fae Era have been lost. [k] @Boggart One describes an incident that took place in Fae Era 4000, over six thousand years ago. [k] @Boggart There, a single faerie rescued Britain when constant interclan warfare had brought it to the brink of collapse, at the cost of their own life. [k] @Boggart The second is the War of Summer in Fae Era 2000, in which war was waged against the northern faeries who came here from the Isle of Shadows. [k] @Boggart In that war, Queen Mab's army of human soldiers wielding iron weapons nearly succeeded in eradicating our ancestors. [k] @Boggart But then, a single faerie stepped in to mediate between the two camps, which led to the creation of the six clans we have today. [k] @Boggart This savior's name was Aesc, meaning “ash tree.” [k] @Boggart After ending the clan wars, she was buried in the remains of Orkney, at the northmost end of Britain. [k] @Boggart ...Hmph. The ignorant low-class faeries may believe that the Child of Prophecy is supposed to be this savior reborn, but not me. [k] @Boggart No matter how many times she may have saved Britain before, she still lost. [k] @Boggart The calamities still exist. That alone is proof she does not deserve to be called anyone's savior. [k] @Boggart Now, if any of the previous “saviors” had succeeded at ridding the world of those accursed mors, and the calamities that occur with ever more frequency, then I would have accepted their claims. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash ...I've noticed that everyone in town seems to be afraid of the word “calamity.” [k] @Mash No, not just them. Every faerie in every town I visited on the way here was afraid of it. [k] @Mash My understanding is that,[sr]as terrifying as Queen Morgan may be... [k] @Mash ...faeries still obeyed her because she at least kept them safe from the calamities. But now[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Boggart That's right. Morgan has declared her intention[sr]to leave Norwich to its fate. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Boggart This was her second grave error, after appointing Tristan a Tam Lin. I may never get such an opportunity again. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Hm...? You're happy about this, Lord Boggart? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Boggart You can't rally soldiers without a cause for them to believe in. They need something greater than themselves. [k] @Boggart This Norwich situation is an unprecedented opportunity, Mash. It's the chance I've been waiting for to seize the throne. [k] @Boggart I have no intention of actually saving Norwich. But I will still use the situation. [k] @Boggart My call to action couldn't be simpler. I've demanded that the queen rid Norwich of its calamity pool and aid in the restoration of the city. [k] @Boggart If these demands are not met, then Sheffield will no longer recognize Camelot's rule. [k] @Boggart The queen will either need to comply with my demands, or send out her army to suppress us. [k] @Boggart Frankly, I don't care which option she chooses. Either will deplete her army. [k] @Boggart That will give me time to collude with the northern faeries, invite the Round Table Army in the south to join our cause... [k] @Boggart ...and eventually create an army of my own to rival the queen's. [k] @Boggart You are no more than grease for those wheels, “Child of Prophecy.” I neither need nor expect you to save Britain. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Boggart Until and unless you recover your memories, you are not to make a move without my permission. [k] @Boggart All I want is for you to continue giving the people of this town hope. [k] @Boggart You're no good for anything else.

[k] @Hooded Faerie Boggart has three thousand soldiers, two thousand in his faerie militia, and three hundred humans. [k] @Hooded Faerie He's also gathering more forces even as we speak, so you'll probably want to make your move soon.

The queen only authorized Sheffield to assemble soldiers as a deterrent against the northern faeries. [k] @Queen's Army Knight Now you're telling me there are five thousand armed rebels all in one place there? That makes this the largest rebellion we've ever seen.

[k] @Hooded Faerie Ever since New Darlington was built, countless faeries have been slaughtered for pure amusement. [k] @Hooded Faerie Now, faeries from all across Britain are harboring doubts about Lady Tristan... [k] @Hooded Faerie ...and about High Queen Morgan for making her a Tam Lin in the first place. [k] @Queen's Army Knight ...You don't have to tell me.[sr]I'm painfully aware of that. [k] @Queen's Army Knight But we've still sworn loyalty to the high queen. We can't be party to any of that nonsense. [k] [charaFace I 0] @Hooded Faerie Right. Sorry about that... It just slipped out. [k] [charaFace I 4] @Hooded Faerie So, what about my payment? [k] @Queen's Army Knight ...Very well. Go on, pay him. [k] @Queen's Army Knight He may have lost his standing, but Boggart is still a powerful leader from the Fang clan. He can easily defeat a thousand faeries on his own. [k] @Queen's Army Knight Send word to Camelot to have Lady Gawain dispatched here, on the double. [k] [charaFace I 0] @Hooded Faerie ...What about the Child of Prophecy? I'm pretty sure intel that valuable's worth something. [k] @Queen's Army Knight Hah, that's a good one. They just captured another “Child of Prophecy” yesterday. [k] @Queen's Army Knight This new one isn't even worth looking into. I'm sure Boggart just made her up. [k] [charaFadeout I 0.1] [charaFadeout J 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk depthOn] @Voice from inside the Tent Oh, I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss it, Officer. [k] @Voice from inside the Tent That faerie there was telling the truth. I especially enjoyed the description of this Child of Prophecy. [k] @Voice from inside the Tent How did it go again? Black iron armor... A huge shield... Appears to be a girl of about sixteen... [k] @Voice from inside the Tent And a black iron cylinder that made you uneasy just to look at?
