[k] [charaTalk depthOn] [charaFace D 26] ＠Da Vinci You made the right call, Oberon. [k] ＠Da Vinci We shouldn't be wandering aimlessly around Britain right now. [k] ＠Da Vinci What we need to do is set up a base of operations here in Salisbury where we can gather information and tackle our problems one at a time. [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠Da Vinci Our top priority right now is finding Mash, so we'll need to look for info on a girl wearing iron armor. [k] ＠Da Vinci While we do that, we should also learn more about Britain, and the lives of the faeries who live in it. [k] ？1：So, you want us to set up a base? Do you have a house here or something? ？2：What did you have in mind for the base? Do you have a place of your own here? ？！ [charaFace D 16] ＠Da Vinci I sure do. This pub doubles as an inn. [k] ＠Da Vinci Well, technically, they just copied a man-made inn without knowing what it was for. [k] ＠Da Vinci So I taught Mike about inns, and how to put all the extra rooms he's got here to good use. [k] ＠Da Vinci And as a little reward for my services, I got to take three of the second-floor rooms for myself☆ [k] [charaFace D 19] ＠Da Vinci I knew we'd eventually find each other, and that we'd need a Chaldea frontline base when we did, so that's why I went ahead and made one.

[k] [charaFace D 25] ＠Da Vinci You probably got a sense of this yourselves on your way to Salisbury... [k] [charaFace D 24] ＠Da Vinci But this Lostbelt is very different from all the others we've seen so far. [k] ＠Da Vinci It doesn't look at all like an alternate path human history could have taken, especially since humans aren't the dominant species here. [k] ＠Da Vinci So far as I can tell, this world consists almost entirely of faeries. [k] ＠Da Vinci In Russia, a huge cold snap made it impossible for the human species to survive as they were, so they were forced to adapt and evolve. [k] ＠Da Vinci In Scandinavia, the twilight of the gods[line 2]aka Ragnarök[line 2]happened during the Age of Gods, and both gods and people alike were in sharp decline afterward. [k] ＠Da Vinci China was ruled by a single Zhenren, or true human, and became the sole nation-state in the entire world. [k] ＠Da Vinci India was converging in on itself through endless cycles of reincarnation, only for the whole world instead of individual people. [k] ＠Da Vinci And in Greece, humankind was completely[sr]dominated by gods who never died out. [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠Da Vinci While all of them were dead ends, they were still all human worlds. [k] ＠Da Vinci No matter how different they may have been from our timeline, they still all had human societies that suited their environments in the year 2019. [k] [charaFace D 14] ＠Da Vinci But that's not the case here. This is very much not a human world. [k] ＠Da Vinci For one thing, there IS no world outside of Britain. [k] ＠Da Vinci It's not like the other Lostbelts, where we just couldn't see the outside world thanks to the storm walls. [k] ＠Da Vinci There's just nothing in this world at all besides Britain. No other continents, and definitely no other nations. [k] ＠Da Vinci So as long as we're here, the whole planet consists of nothing but the Isle of Britain, and the sea. [k] ＠Da Vinci And that means[line 2] [k] ？1：It's basically another world with no relation to human history? ？！ [charaFace D 24] ＠Da Vinci Yup. Given what we know now, that's the only way to describe it. [k] ＠Da Vinci Over the last few days, I've been asking various faeries about what things are like between Britain and other countries, but the very idea of other countries was alien to them. [k] ＠Da Vinci So that tells me there must be some strange circumstance that caused this place to become Faerie Britain. [k] ＠Da Vinci Figuring out what that is will be the key to beating[line 2]no, unraveling this Lostbelt. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 2] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Tristan Hold on. If there aren't any other European countries here... [k] ＠Tristan Does that mean every faerie in this land comes solely from the Isle of Britain? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Da Vinci That's a great question, Tristan. If there are no other lands in this world... [k] ＠Da Vinci It follows that no faerie legends from those places would be imported here. [k] [charaFace D 16] ＠Da Vinci But luckily, there's still a little thing called “human history convergence.” [k] ＠Da Vinci What that means is, as long as a faerie once existed on earth, their existence will remain even if their form and history are different. [k] ＠Da Vinci So even in this Faerie Britain, we have faeries from various European legends showing up in different forms. [k] ＠Da Vinci Basically, the ecosystems are similar, even if the environments aren't. [k] ＠Da Vinci Since this is still the same planet Earth, there are inevitably going to be similar life-forms, civilizations, and large-scale events. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 2] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Tristan Similar life-forms, huh... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Da Vinci Yup. Faerie Britain may be nothing like the Britain we know... [k] ＠Da Vinci But despite that, the two Britains have a surprising number of things in common. [k] ＠Da Vinci Things like city names, faerie names... [k] ＠Da Vinci Even the name of this world's queen. [k] [charaFace D 5] ＠Da Vinci Remember that huge castle to the north you saw on the way here? It belongs to High Queen Morgan, ruler of Faerie Britain. [k] ＠Da Vinci And it probably won't surprise you to learn that its name is Camelot. [k] ＠Da Vinci That's right. Here, the same castle that symbolized British peace in Proper Human History... [k] ＠Da Vinci ...that was home to King Arthur and to the Knights of the Round Table...belongs to Morgan. [k] ＠Da Vinci The strongest, most despised witch in British history, and the one indirectly responsible for King Arthur's death and Britain's downfall.

As far as I've been able to find out, Morgan's ruled Faerie Britain for almost two thousand years. [k] ＠Da Vinci There are six different faerie clans here: Wind, Earth, Fang, Mirror, Wing, and one other. [k] ＠Da Vinci They waged war with each other constantly for thousands of years... [k] ＠Da Vinci Until Morgan used evil magecraft to defeat them, subjugated half of the clans through force, and united all of Britain. [k] ＠Da Vinci Afterwards, she gave the humans of this world a limited degree of freedom, made them build a foundation for civilization... [k] ＠Da Vinci ...and developed this imitation society over the course of the last two thousand years. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Tristan Morgan... So even in this Lostbelt,[sr]she's still trying to... [k] ＠Tristan But no, I suppose I shouldn't say that. I'm sure this Morgan is a different person from the one we know. [k] ＠Tristan So, what exactly is her reign like? [k] ＠Tristan Since she calls her castle Camelot, does that mean it's fair and just, in a way King Arthur would be proud of? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Da Vinci No, it's pretty horrible. [k] ＠Da Vinci She has strict limits on the number of humans that can be born each year, and she rules the faeries with an iron fist. [k] ＠Da Vinci Every faerie that lives in an urban area is inscribed with Morgan's curse[line 2]Command Spells, as part of their civic duty. [k] ＠Da Vinci And every year, faeries inscribed with these Command Spells are forced to “donate” some of their vitality[line 2]magical energy, essentially. [k] ＠Da Vinci They call it the existence tax. [k] ＠Da Vinci And any faeries who can't pay it[line 2]essentially, who can't provide enough magical energy to satisfy Morgan[line 2]are killed right then and there. [k] ＠Da Vinci Apparently, when she first took the throne,[sr]Morgan told the faeries: [k] ＠Da Vinci “I offer neither absolution nor salvation. I demand only that you obey without question or hesitation.” [k] ＠Da Vinci “Show me your fealty in word and action, and I shall keep Britain safe.” [k] ＠Da Vinci Any faeries who can't handle this state of affairs and become unable to work are either taken into Camelot and dealt with there... [k] ＠Da Vinci ...or they escape the cities and run away to lands no one else knows about. [k] ？1：An annual existence tax... ？2：So that's why those faeries were there... ？！ [messageOff] [se ad592] [seVolume ad592 0 0.3] [fadeout white 1.0] [wait fade] [cameraFilter gray] [pictureFrame cut063_cinema] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [charaDepth F 5] [charaDepth H 4] [charaDepth G 3] [charaFace F 0] [charaFace H 0] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 0,-50] [charaFadeinFSL H 0.1 -256,-50] [charaFadeinFSR G 0.1 256,-50] [scene 117200] [wt 0.5] [fadein white 1.0] [wait fade] [wt 2.5] [fadeout white 1.0] [wait fade] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [charaFadeout H 0.1] [cameraFilter normal] [pictureFrame] [scene 117800] [wt 0.5] [fadein white 1.0] [wait fade] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 2] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Tristan Such an oppressive regime is bound to spark opposition.

[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 24] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Da Vinci Yup. Which just goes to show how powerful she must be. [k] ＠Da Vinci She takes half the soul of every faerie in Britain each year, and there's STILL no faeries able or willing to stand up to her. [k] ＠Da Vinci That said, there are some positive[sr]sides to Morgan's reign. [k] ＠Da Vinci Remember those black things we fought near the shore? [k] ＠Da Vinci The faeries call them “mors,” and they're one of the calamities that have been plaguing Faerie Britain since its inception. [k] ＠Da Vinci Occasionally, faeries that lose their purpose, or their spark... [k] ＠Da Vinci ...end up turning into these mors creatures. [k] ＠Da Vinci Mors are essentially the faeries' natural predators. [k] ＠Da Vinci Just touching one is enough to infect a faerie, ultimately transforming them into a mors too. [k] ＠Da Vinci It's kind of like a disease that only affects faeries. [k] ＠Da Vinci And the mors aren't the only calamity Britain has to regularly contend with. There are lots of others that pop up on a regular basis. [k] ＠Da Vinci And Morgan's[line 2]the high queen's army is constantly fending them off. [k] ＠Da Vinci Morgan may be a cold and ruthless ruler, but she's also the sword that keeps Britain safe. [k] ＠Da Vinci The faeries may fear and hate her, but they also depend on her. [k] ＠Da Vinci And that's the current state of the Faerie Britain. [k] ？1：Sounds like Morgan's definitely this Lostbelt's king then. ？！ [charaFace D 0] ＠Da Vinci Yup, that seems like a very safe assumption. Which means she'd also have to be the one who used Rhongomyniad... [k] ＠Da Vinci That spell was so powerful it reached Olympus from here. No one else could have cast it. [k] [charaFace D 31] ＠Da Vinci Though of course, that unfortunately also means Beryl Gut is involved with Morgan somehow... [k] ＠Da Vinci So I'd say that makes our chances of peaceful negotiation with her basically nil. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Tristan ...I see. Then we have our own reasons for defeating her.

Though we might have a hard time getting into Camelot, since apparently, no one can enter it without her permission! [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠Da Vinci That said, even Morgan's reign isn't perfect. In fact, there's new hope going around Britain right now. [k] ＠Da Vinci As luck would have it, we showed up here at the exact right time, just as things are about to change. [k] ？1：So what's this new hope? ？！ ＠Da Vinci The Child of Prophecy. [k] ＠Da Vinci Specifically, a child whose existence was prophesized by the head of the now extinct Mirror clan, right before they disappeared. [k] ＠Da Vinci From what I heard, it went something like this: [k] ＠Da Vinci “Sixteen years from now, a savior shall appear. Guided by the Staff of Selection, the true king will take the throne.” [k] ＠Da Vinci “When the six bells ring out, the false queen will fall. Alongside fae and humans, the savior will bring an end to this false history.” [k] [charaFace D 19] ＠Da Vinci So what do you think?[sr]Sounds vaguely familiar, right? [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠Da Vinci It's got credibility out the wazoo too, since the Mirror clan's prophecies have never once been wrong. [k] ＠Da Vinci The high queen's been trying to prevent the inevitable by rounding up every faerie who turns sixteen this year... [k] ＠Da Vinci ...but the fact that this Child of Prophecy hunt is still going on proves that she still hasn't caught them. [k] [charaFace D 26] ＠Da Vinci Suffice to say, between the mors and the Child of Prophecy alone, the cracks are showing in the high queen's reign. [k] ＠Da Vinci So if we play our cards right, we might just be able to negotiate with Morgan after all. [k] [charaFace D 0] ＠Da Vinci That said, finding Mash definitely comes first. For the time being, you should rest up and recover your strength. [k] ＠Da Vinci Then tomorrow, we can start gathering information. Quietly and casually, of course, so as not to arouse suspicion.

[k] ＠Da Vinci Servants might not need to sleep, but it's still tiring to be constantly watching out for threats, right? [k] ＠Da Vinci I mean, you never took your fingers off your bow strings even once that entire time. Guess that's why you were a Knight of the Round Table, huh?

[k] [charaFace B 4] ＠Tristan But not just yet. [k] ＠Tristan But please, don't refrain from resting on my account, Da Vinci. [k] ＠Tristan You may be a Servant too, but you're also a being living in the here and now, just like [%1]. [k] ＠Tristan So go on, get some sleep. Don't worry, it's my duty to protect you as well as [&him:her]. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 30] [charaFadein D 0.1 0,-50] ＠Da Vinci Gotcha. I guess I should have expected that kind of consideration from Tristan, the Child of Sadness, and the most handsome Knight of the Round Table. [k] ＠Da Vinci Okay then, I think I'll take you up on that.[sr]Honestly, I WAS pretty beat. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 0,-50] ＠Tristan By all means. But first, I have just one request for you. [k] [charaFace B 0] ＠Tristan I don't want to take too much of your time, but before you fall asleep... [k] [charaFace B 2] ＠Tristan I was hoping you could tell me about the Sixth Singularity. [k] ＠Tristan Specifically, I would like to hear about the version of me who was summoned there... [k] ＠Tristan ...and what I was doing in the Holy City of Camelot.
