The queen's army is on the move. [k] ＠ A military flag depicting black flames and a mighty fortress flaps at the forefront of the army marching on Sheffield. [k] ＠ Tam Lin Gawain leads the army. [k] ＠ Her objective is not to snuff out the sparks of rebellion, nor to negotiate with Boggart. [k] ＠ Beryl Gut, who was named the queen's proxy only yesterday, flashes a wicked grin. [k] ＠ This all occurred one day before Sheffield was wiped off the map.

You really are a poor excuse for a wife, aren't you? [k] [messageOff] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 17] [wt 1.5] [charaFace B 7] ＠Boggart Well, that's all right. I can't appreciate alcohol, anyway. In fact, I don't understand why humans cook their food at all. [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Boggart Cutting, slicing, roasting, frying, seasoning... It all seems like a waste of time and good meat to me. [k] ＠Boggart The Fang clan doesn't need to act more human. And it certainly doesn't need restaurants. [k] [charaFace B 1] ＠Boggart Did you know that Oxford is practically full to bursting with restaurants these days? [k] ＠Boggart Everywhere you go, there's a Woodwose's on every corner. It's a sick joke is what it is. [k] ＠Boggart Can you even imagine if all the shops on Sheffield's main street were nothing but restaurants? [k] ＠Boggart It would be so absurd, no one would even know how to react. [k] [messageOff] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 15] ＠Mash Yes, that's true. It WOULD be a funny sight. [k] [charaFace B 1] ＠Boggart Yes, if nothing else, those restaurants are good for a laugh. It would be fun to show you one[line 2] [k] [charaFace B 3] ＠Boggart ...Never mind. I don't know why I said that. [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Boggart So, “Child of Prophecy,” I'm told you've been defeating mors on behalf of the townspeople. [k] ＠Boggart I also know you've been seen fighting while wearing that armor of yours, even after I told you not to draw attention. [k] [charaFace A 13] ＠Mash Yes, I have. I'm sorry, Lord Boggart. I guess I'm just not fit to be your wife. [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Boggart Of course you aren't, you fool. You never were. [k] ＠Boggart And yet, even though you're capable of battling mors, you're afraid to wield a weapon. [k] ＠Boggart You never came back for that iron cylinder. [k] ＠Boggart Those merchants told me they found you and the cylinder together, and yet, you've never even mentioned it. [k] ＠Boggart It's almost as though you would prefer to forget about it entirely. [k] ＠Boggart That cylinder rivals Morgan's sacred lance. [k] ＠Boggart Why would you run from such incredible firepower? [k] [charaFace A 4] ＠Mash ...I don't know. It's just...something about that thing feels like it could hurt everyone... [k] ＠Mash Like it could even hurt all of Britain.[sr]And that scares me. [k] [charaFace B 3] ＠Boggart ...No. You're not afraid of that cylinder. [k] ＠Boggart You're afraid of fighting itsel[line 2] [k] [charaFace B 7] ＠Boggart Never mind. Even if I did know your true feelings,[sr]I doubt I would understand them. [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Boggart All that matters are your records and accomplishments. Have you still not regained your memories? [k] ＠Boggart I don't know if it's your calling, but I have no doubt that you are a knight[line 2]one who has been fighting a long time. [k] ＠Boggart And yet, I've never seen you in the queen's army before. Nor have I heard of a new Tam Lin being appointed. [k] ＠Boggart In fact, I've never seen a faerie that looks like you anywhere. Where did you come from? [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Boggart Are you... Are you actually the Child of Prophecy who will save all of Britain? [k] ＠Boggart If you are, then you will be forced to fight wherever you go, for the Child of Prophecy's pilgrimage leads down a road of blood and war. [k] ＠Boggart Do you truly have what it takes? Can you not only defeat the queen, but also unify the six clans and maintain your rule over them? [k] [charaFace A 4] ＠Mash I...[sr]...I don't... [k] [charaFace B 7] ＠Boggart Hmph, of course you can't. You simply aren't made for that, even if you were to regain your memories. [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Boggart Faeries are meant to live their lives how they like, in accordance with their purpose. Why would you force yourself to go through with something you don't desire? [k] [charaFace B 1] ＠Boggart No, it's like I thought. Not thought, knew. You aren't the child of prophecy. You're no more than an imitation, a lost little lamb. [k] [messageOff] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [wt 1.5] [charaFace B 0] ＠Boggart I've been fighting for a long time. I've been fighting the mors since I was born. [k] ＠Boggart Fighting the mors has always fallen to the Fang clan. It only made sense; we're the strongest clan in Britain. [k] ＠Boggart And Woodwose and I were the strongest of all the Fang clan. The two of us alone have saved Britain from the mors countless times. [k] ＠Boggart It was those accomplishments that led to Woodwose being named lord of Oxford, and I, Norwich. [k] [charaFace A 7] ＠Mash Yes, I remember. You told me before that you were once the lord of Norwich. [k] ＠Mash But you never told me how you ended up in Sheffield. [k] ＠Boggart A man named Capless put one over on me. He's taken over the Spriggan name now. [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Boggart But never mind that scumbag.[sr]It's nothing you need to hear about. [k] ＠Boggart You know about the Caterpillar War of two hundred years ago, yes? It was the only war that made the queen scream like a flesh-and-blood woman. [k] [charaFace B 1] ＠Boggart Hehe. I never would have guessed that that accursed Morgan would be so afraid of insects. [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Boggart At any rate, during that war, Morgan gave ■■■■■■■■ the name Gawain and made her a knight. [k] ＠Boggart No one can perceive ■■■■■■■■'s name anymore. The queen changed it so that Gawain became her True Name. [k] ＠Boggart Now, no one can call her by her original faerie name until she is defeated. [k] ＠Boggart Woodwose hated ■■■■■■■■, and claimed she was the daughter of the detestable black dogs, but I always admired her sheer strength. [k] [charaFace B 3] ＠Boggart ...In fact, I am part of the reason she became a Tam Lin. One day, I told her: [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Boggart “If you don't want to be called a dog, you need only stop fighting with tooth and claw.” [k] ＠Boggart “■■■■■■■■, heir of the precious blood, from here on, you will fight with the greatest of swords: your horn.” [k] ＠Boggart Ever since, she began carrying a sword with her wherever she went, until one day, her prowess as a knight caught the queen's eye. [k] ＠Boggart She then became a Tam Lin, and began shielding faeries from the mors of her own volition. [k] ＠Boggart I suspect that was because she had long been ostracized as a daughter of the black dogs. [k] ＠Boggart That allowed her to understand how the weak feel, and made her demand responsibility from the strong. [k] [charaFace B 7] ＠Boggart I believe the queen calls that "noblesse oblige." Hmph. It seems there is no limit to the reach of human civilization's influence. [k] [charaFace B 3] ＠Boggart You know, you remind me of ■■■■■■■■ back when she had just been born. [k] ＠Boggart Back then, she agonized over having been born strong, and hated that she would now have to continuously exploit the weak. [k] ＠Boggart There's something about you that reminds me of her disgraceful crying. [k] [charaFace A 13] ＠Mash ...I see. So you still care deeply for this Gawain person. [k] [charaFace B 7] ＠Boggart Hardly. I stopped thinking about her two hundred years ago, when she became a Tam Lin. [k] [charaFace B 3] ＠Boggart ...What am I saying? [k] ＠Boggart Why am I sitting here telling you about my youth instead of my daring exploits? [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Boggart This was a waste of time. Forget tonight ever happened. Erase it from your memory. I'm going back to the tribunal. [k] [charaFace A 13] ＠Mash Okay. Take care, Lord Boggart. And please try not to stay up too late. [k] [charaFace B 3] ＠Boggart ... [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Boggart That reminds me. Why aren't you afraid of me? [k] [charaFace A 1] ＠Mash That? I think it's because Sheffield is such a beautiful city. [k] ＠Mash And I'm told you were the one who restored it from almost nothing. [k] ＠Mash Even though it's a fortress city, it puts the livelihood of the faeries who live in it first, making it a bright and comfortable place to live. [k] ＠Mash I don't think I could ever be afraid of anyone who set out to build a city like that. [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Boggart ...Well of course.[sr]Sheffield is much more beautiful than Norwich ever was. [k] [charaFace B 6] ＠Boggart But that ends today.[sr]We'll be closing our gates as of tomorrow. [k] ＠Boggart Once the fight with Morgan's army begins, no one will call this city beautiful any longer.
