Will you come with us? ?2:...It'll be a dangerous journey, but would you show us the way? ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_147 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Tepeu Yes, of course. I'm relieved you came to talk to me. [k] @Tepeu Thank you, [%1]. [k] ?1:Oh no, I should be thanking you. [messageOff] [charaFace A 2] [wt 1.2] ?2:Um, you're welcome, but...why? ?! [charaFace A 0] @Tepeu All the other deinos have left Chichén Itzá, right? [k] @Tepeu Whether the sun exploding is what destroys Mictlān, or it is a casualty of ORT's destruction of the whole world... [k] @Tepeu ...the deinos will accept what happens without a fight. That response could be called rational, or even noble. [k] @Tepeu But, knowing what you've fought so far, I thought you might find that response cold and heartless. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Tepeu So I was steeling myself for the likelihood that you would leave without a word. [k] @Tepeu In the end, the deinos are Mictlān's prime species. We are, at heart, very different creatures from yourselves. [k] ?1:That's not true at all. ?2:We might have our differences, but we can still resolve them peacefully. ?! [messageOff] [charaFace A 2] [wt 1.2] [charaFace A 0] @Tepeu I still have some preparations to make, so please go back to the Border without me. I'll meet you at the castle gate. [k] @Tepeu Even I've never been past the seventh stratum, so I'm looking forward to the adventure that lies ahead. [k] [messageOff] [charaCrossFade A 1098252940 4 0.4] [wait charaCrossFade A] @Tepeu Oh, and one more thing. I have something of a favor to ask of you...

As far as Mictlān is concerned[line 2]as far as I'M, concerned, you're just a rare and unusual interloper. [k] @Kukulcan But the novelty of that has worn off. So, wouldn't it be funny if I just...pruned you here and now? [k] ?1:That'd be a pretty disappointing conclusion to this story. ?2:You're not very good at being the bad guy, are you? ?! [charaFace B 1] @Kukulcan Err... Uh... Well, I didn't really think you were going to be so unfazed. [k] @Kukulcan Man, and I spent all that time practicing what I was gonna say before I flew down, too... [k] ?1:Why didn't you protect Chichén Itzá? Was Tezcatlipoca right? ?2:Is what Tezcatlipoca said about you true? ?! [charaFace B 7] @Kukulcan Hm? Oh, right. I guess he did say something about me not protecting the deinos, huh? [k] [charaFace B 11] @Kukulcan Yep, he was dead-on. The sun helps the world grow, yes. But it also makes it burn. [k] @Kukulcan Think back. Did I do anything, anything at all, to protect the deinos, even when we were traveling together? [k] @Kukulcan That's right! I didn't! [k] @Kukulcan Even when Camazotz showed up, or this war was taking place, I just kicked back in the sky and enjoyed the show! [k] ?1:... ?2:Did you really enjoy it? [charaFace B 9] @Kukulcan I did. You really are an insolent one, you know. Say something like that again and I will very literally squash you. [k] ?! [charaFace B 6] @Kukulcan Anyway, the sun's going to explode soon, so who cares how many of them die now? [k] [charaFace B 0] @Kukulcan The cycle of extinction has come to Mictlān, just like it did in Proper Human History. [k] @Kukulcan There's no point in getting angry or sad about it, or refusing to face reality. [k] [charaFace B 20] @Kukulcan Even if the deinos and ocelomeh all die out, eventually humans like you will still be born, right? [k] @Kukulcan Life will never die out completely, no matter how bad the collapse. Proper Human History has proven that. [k] @Kukulcan So I was thinking... [k] [charaFace B 11] @Kukulcan ...why don't you all just leave now that your ship's almost prepared? [k] @Kukulcan I mean, there's no point in you sticking around for Mictlān's collapse, is there? [k] ?1:We're not leaving yet. ?2:Not until we visit the bottom stratum. ?! [charaFace B 20] @Kukulcan I see. Then I guess there's nothing more to be done. [k] [messageOff] [wt 1.3] [charaFaceFade B 12 0.2] [wt 0.8] @Kukulcan I am the arbiter of Mictlān. [k] @Kukulcan That means I'm obligated to watch over the deinos and ocelomeh's final moments. [k] @Kukulcan To do that, I need to keep this Lostbelt around. [k] @Kukulcan Which means both the Crypter trying to revive ORT and Chaldea on its mission to cut down the Tree of Emptiness are my enemies. [k] [charaFace B 9] @Kukulcan ...The next time we meet will be in Calakmul.[sr]That is where you and I will go our separate ways.
