Huff... Huff...) [k] @ [lr]I was born in this Britain over three thousand years ago. I've defeated every calamity I've faced until today. [k] @ But I was always hated afterward. Never praised. Never loved. [k] @ Then, one day after I awoke from the latest of so many hibernations I'd been forced to undergo to hide from the faeries... [k] @ ...I finally understood. My enemy wasn't just the calamities. It was the faeries of Britain as well. [k] @ They were pure and innocent in the truest sense. They enjoyed both good and evil things alike without losing either that purity or innocence. [k] @ They are, at their core, no different than those loathsome humans who drove me from Britain. [k] @ So I crushed every possible source of malice. Vested interests. Discrimination. Oppression. Envy. Mockery. All of it. [k] @ I tore up every weed to prevent malice from taking root, and all with their knowledge and consent. [k] @ Maybe not every faerie agreed, but by and large, they understood what I did would create a better future, and supported it. [k] @ But just enough malice remained. A few faeries took one look at the foundation of peace so many had worked so hard to build... [k] @ ...and tore it apart, because they didn't like it...because they could. [k] @Aesc Ha... Haha. Ahaha. Hahaha.[sr]Ahahahahahahaha!!! [k] @ [lr]I give up. If even all this has failed, if it's all come to nothing, then I can never believe in people's so-called goodness, nor ever understand it. [k] @ Even if I did, what would be the point? Everything I did, everything I worked for...was just a waste of time. [k] @ After all the times they betrayed me, I should have known better. But I still clung foolishly to a sliver of hope. [k] @ And now, because I wasted my time caring about something so utterly absurd, I've failed yet again. [k] @ If my intent is to keep Britain alive... If that's what I want, then I was a fool to think being its savior was the way to accomplish it. [k] @ No more. I will find another way. A better way. [k] @Aesc ...That's it. [k] @Aesc I won't deliver the faeries absolution; I won't deliver salvation. [k] @Aesc Enough of this faerie of paradise, of being Avalon le Fae. I should have ruled this land from the start.

Our whole pilgrimage was for nothing. [k] @The First Tam Lin What? No, that's... That's not[line 2] [k] [charaFace B 7] @Aesc Please don't look so sad. I've grown used to this. [k] @Aesc Besides, everything...all of this, even the conversation we're having now, is merely a hypothetical the Tree of Emptiness is creating. [k] @Aesc It doesn't matter what we do. The Fae Era is going to end, and the Era of the High Queen will begin. [k] @Aesc Aesc's failure was probably inevitable. [k] @Aesc I just...couldn't handle the way things ended.[sr]That's all. [k] @The First Tam Lin Aesc... [k] [charaFace B 6] @Aesc Londinium is destroyed, Aesc is executed, and the first Tam Lin goes to Orkney along with her coffin. [k] @Aesc That's how the savior's tale ended in the Era of the High Queen you came from. [k] @Aesc So we need to make sure that's exactly how things turn out, or there'll be paradoxes when you wake up. [k] @Aesc The Fae Era will last for four hundred more years. Then, in its twelve thousandth year... [k] @Aesc ...the next great calamity will destroy everything, and the Era of the High Queen will begin without the Tree of Emptiness. [k] @Aesc Once the Era of the High Queen begins... [k] @Aesc ...you will be unable to act as Mash until after the calamity of Norwich in 2019. [k] @Aesc If you do anything at all as Mash, the world will see you as a paradox from the Fae Era and erase you. [k] @The First Tam Lin ...I see. So the moment I was sent into the Fae Era with the water mirror, I was bound to live out the rest of my life in it. [k] @The First Tam Lin And to get back to the time I came from... I need to be inside a quantum coffin. [k] [charaFace B 30] @Aesc That's right. Even though we know how Rayshifting works, we can't travel through space-time without a Coffin. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Aesc That is probably exactly why Morgan only sends calamities BACK in time to the Fae Era. [k] @Aesc The Fae Era can tolerate a few inconsistencies. As long as the Era of the High Queen remains intact, nothing else matters to her. [k] @Aesc I doubt she cares at all about the suffering the calamities she sends back to the Fae Era will cause. [k] @The First Tam Lin ... [k] [charaFace B 7] @Aesc Besides...to be perfectly honest, I knew how this was going to turn out. [k] @Aesc Even if you had never come from the future to make it clear, I've always known the savior will fail. [k] @The First Tam Lin Huh? So...you already knew that the Fae Era would end and the Era of the High Queen would follow it? [k] [charaFace B 1] @Aesc No, that part, I did not know. But by the year you came from, A.D. 2019[line 2]or 14,019 in Fae Era terms... [k] @Aesc ...Britain would already be destroyed. [k] @Aesc That's what happened in the first[sr]Lostbelt Britain[line 2]the real one. [k] @Aesc But I didn't like that, so I came to the Fae Era from the future, like you. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Aesc From my perspective, this has always been the second version of this world. [k] @Aesc Though now that you're here,[sr]I suppose you could call it the third. [k] @Aesc Or maybe it's just a slightly different take on the second, since we kept the basic chain of events the same. [k] @The First Tam Lin ...Um, can I ask you something?[sr]Does that mean your real name is[line 2] [k] [charaFace B 1] @Aesc Oh good, it looks like Totorot found us a small boat.[sr]Come on, let's go, Mash.

So she made a promise to you. [k] [charaFace B 24] @Aesc I think I'd better explain something to you, Galahad. [k] @Aesc When the Fae Era transitions into the Era of the High Queen, all the information that was added in this new second version of the world will be erased. [k] @Aesc The Era of the High Queen will be a continuation of the events from the original second version. The first and new second versions will never have existed. [k] @Aesc The only thing that will carry over is you, sleeping in this coffin. [k] @Aesc In four hundred years, when he Era of the High Queen has begun, I don't think even I will remember you. [k] @Aesc More precisely, I will become the second version of myself once again. [k] @Aesc So if a faerie were to try and bring memories from this new second version into the Era of the High Queen... [k] @Aesc Then the world would perceive that faerie as a foreign element[line 2]a being who was never part of the second version's Fae Era. [k] @The First Tam Lin You mean...it'll be as though she never[sr]existed in this history...? [k] [charaFace B 25] @Aesc I'll do my best to prevent that from happening. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_11 2.0] @Aesc As long as no one perceives the contradiction in history,[sr]she should still be able to exist. [k] @Aesc It's no trouble. I already intended to have you forget everything I'm about to tell you for as long as you remain in Britain, anyway. [k] [bgm BGM_MAP_73 1.5] [charaFace B 0] @Aesc ...Listen to me closely, Galahad. What I'm about to tell you now is for after you wake up from your slumber. [k] @Aesc If you and Chaldea should succeed at excising[sr]Morgan's Faerie Britain... [k] @Aesc ...then the battle that awaits you in the next Lostbelt will be the same as the one I face... [k] @Aesc It will be a battle to make peace with your own heart...a battle to understand life itself. [k] @Aesc As good as your reasons to fight have been, you've lacked the will to do so. [k] @Aesc You may not have been aware of it, but you've been thinking of the power to hurt others[line 2]to hurt the world[line 2]as something bad. Consequently, you've been running from it. [k] @Aesc But everyone has the ability to cause harm, and the responsibility that comes with it. [k] @Aesc It isn't that humans want to do good. They just keep choosing things that they think will give them the best possible future. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Aesc ...And there's no right answer in those choices,[sr]no matter how many people they may end up saving. [k] [charaFace B 24] @Aesc Since there are no right answers, you must decide for yourself what to protect, and what you will fight against, Galahad. [k] @Aesc You will come to know many hearts and minds, and all will be different. [k] @Aesc Some will try to understand. Some will refuse to give up. [k] @Aesc Some will be accepting. Some will refuse to succumb to hate. [k] @Aesc Some will try to shake hurt off. Some will refuse to be corrupted or influenced. [k] @Aesc ...But no matter how wonderful a person may be, they will never have a heart free of conflict. [k] [charaFace B 6] @Aesc Every heart has its battles to fight. Please, try to stop running from that. [k] @Aesc Because when the hole in your heart is filled with a reason to fight that's all your own... [k] @Aesc ...then Galahad will once again entrust you with all of his power. [k] @The First Tam Lin ...No heart is free of conflict... ...No matter what sort of person you are... [k] @Aesc That's right. You'll probably have forgotten this by the time you wake, but when the time comes, I will make sure you remember. [k] @Aesc Though even I can't say whether you'll become someone different, like I did... [k] @Aesc ...or if you'll remain yourself as you continue to grow.
