[k] @Merlin I'm The Amazing Merlin the Great. I've actually been free for some time now, ever since Morgan was killed and her Garden disappeared. [k] @Merlin Sorry for getting here so late! I needed some extra time to get everything ready. [k] ?1:Merlin! @Merlin That's me.[sr]I'm glad to see you in good health, [%1]. [k] @Merlin By the way, why did you shout just now? It's because you're just that glad to see me safe and sound, isn't it? [k] @Merlin It can't possibly be that you're upset I've been having fun watching from the sidelines all this time. Right? [k] ?2:Fou fooou! [charaFace A 2] @Merlin Is that you, Cath Palug!?[sr]No fair staying behind in Chaldea without me! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 23] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash I'm sorry, Merlin. That was just Senpai's Fou impression. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Merlin Is that a thing in Chaldea now!?[sr]Who said that could be a thing!? [k] ?! [messageOff] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadeTime A 0.6 0.6] [wt 0.7] [charaFadeTime A 0.6 1.0] [wt 1.2] [charaFace A 4] @Merlin Whoops, sorry about that. I'm still a little shaky. I'm not exaggerating when I say this feels like a waking dream for me. [k] [charaFace A 1] @Merlin You see, I'm not actually there with you.[sr]What you're seeing right now is an illusion. [k] @Merlin That also means I can only hear your voices. [k] @Merlin I can't see what either you or Mash look like right now, [%1]. [k] @Merlin So I'm afraid our joyful reunion will have to wait a little longer. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Merlin But don't worry. I'll get to see your grown-up faces in just a few hours. [k] @Merlin I'll be waiting for you at the entrance to Avalon, making sure I look nice and respectable. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 18] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Altria Merlin...? YOU'RE Merlin? [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 3] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Merlin That's me. Is that the Child of Prophecy speaking? Sorry to surprise you like this. [k] @Merlin I know we have a lot to catch up on, but I'm afraid our private conversation will have to wait until things are somewhat less...intense. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Merlin Let's see. I believe Mr. Goredolf is Chaldea's current commander, yes? Is he there now, too? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 6] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Goredolf Y-yes, he[line 2]I mean, I am. This is Goredolf Musik speaking. So, you're Merlin, are you? [k] @Goredolf I won't bother asking why you're just showing up now. You're right that we have more pressing matters than you barging in. [k] @Goredolf What I want to know is what you meant when you said there's still hope! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 3] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Merlin Nice! You pack a lotta bluster into that voice. It seems you're pretty much the exact opposite of the prior acting commander. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Merlin But I digress. When I said there's still hope, I meant there is still a way to stop this collapse. [k] @Merlin Let me cut to the chase. I'd like you to send the faerie of paradise back here right away. [k] @Merlin Altria, you've been hearing Avalon calling to you ever since you finished ringing the bells, right? [k] @Merlin It's time for you to fulfill your duty as the faerie of paradise. [k] @Merlin Once you have, it'll be possible to erase this Singularity and defeat Cernunnos. [k] ?1:(There's a way to fix this hopeless situation somewhere in paradise...?) ?2:... ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 4] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Altria ...But, I'm not qualified to[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 5] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Grímr the Sage Qualifications, shmalifications. None of that matters. [k] @Grímr the Sage Cernunnos's curse will weaken once the faerie of paradise who rang the Bells of Pilgrimage returns to paradise. [k] @Grímr the Sage Won't get rid of it entirely, but it'll stop it from getting stronger. [k] @Grímr the Sage The god of wisdom who pawned this power off on me confirmed as much. He might be from a different mythology, but he knows what he's talking about here. [k] @Grímr the Sage Isn't that right, Ambrosius? My job is to get Altria to paradise, by hook or by crook. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_1 1.0] @Grímr the Sage As long as she's rung the Bells of Pilgrimage, it doesn't even matter if she's still alive.

Of course.[sr]I should've known that's how this would go... [k] ?1:Grímr!? Why would you say something like that!? ?2:Altria!? Why aren't you upset at him!? ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_142 0.1] [charaFace C 8] @Altria So... I've...actually kind of known about it all along? I could see that's why Grímr was here the whole time, too.

[k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Merlin That's expressly for the worst-case scenario, Grímr. We're nowhere near that point now. [k] @Merlin She's in the best possible condition right now.[sr]I can't see it, but I can sense it. [k] @Merlin I have no doubt that the faerie of paradise[line 2]the Avalon le Fae[line 2]will fulfill her duty of her own volition. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Merlin Even if someone convinces her this is ridiculous... [k] @Merlin ...and we should all just give up and enjoy the time we have left.

[k] @Merlin There's a spirit cavern that leads to the planet's inner sea from the corpse of Albion, the border dragon that sank into the dark bog. [k] @Merlin Now that Britain has begun to collapse, that path should be open again. All you need to do is go spelunking for one hour. [k] @Merlin That said, we're still talking about the largest holy ground in the magecraft world. It won't let just anyone in. [k] @Merlin But it should open for [%1] as a representative of humanity, Mash as a Knight of the Round Table... [k] @Merlin ...the faerie of paradise...and I guess there's room for her attendant, Muramasa, as well. [k] @Merlin The rest of you will have to wait[sr]there until they get back.

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Holmes Understood. I'll update our strategy to include Merlin's instructions. [k] @Holmes [%1]. Mash.[sr]Altria. Senji Muramasa. [k] @Holmes You four will make your way through this spirit cavern and head for the planet's inner sea[line 2]the paradise of Avalon. [k] @Holmes The Storm Border will remain on station above the Lake District. Captain Nemo and Da Vinci will focus on piloting the Border. [k] @Holmes If anything should try to attack us, Grímr and I will fend them off. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk I] [charaFace I 14] [charaFadein I 0.1 1] @Percival ...Wait. Please. [k] @Percival This is all new and unfamiliar to me, so I doubt I'll be of much help... [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_70 1.5] @Percival But Britain is my home.

If anything, you should be resting right now! [k] @Altria You're in no shape to be fighting anymore, right!? [k] [charaFace C 5] @Altria Your only job now is to get the treatment you need and recuperate until you're back to your old self! [k] @Altria That's an order from the Child of Prophecy! Got it!? [k] [charaFace C 2] @Altria If you even think about defying me on this, I'll completely abandon my duty! Is that clear!?
