blindness as much as my deception salite we can talk about this later if you're [Music] willing talk to to me later lelle has a dangerous look in her eyes let's just hope she reserves those impulses for any common your straight to the point at least but still I'm not sure you're ready for Sha's teachings not yet at [Music] least very well perhaps there's potential in you let's see how you handle this I am indeed a disciple of sha Mistress of the night and Lady of loss as you worship saluna I assume you know of her [Music] twin the night brings Comfort through loss we find Acceptance in the arms of the dark mother we find [Music] peace most fear the dark like children because in darkness they see their fears reflected but sha teaches us to Step Beyond fear Beyond loss in darkness we do not hide we act pain hope the promise of better days all of these are heavy cloaks that bend our backs and burden our hearts we shed those cloaks before Sha We Stand gloriously naked beyond the vanities of [Music] Mortals we tear down the lies the world is drunk on the institutions they trust the so-called gods they worship the lives they cling to we destroy false Idols topple corrupt organizations fight Heretics wherever they're found there's often suffering death even many people break before they Embrace Sha's truths well if that troubles you perhaps you should fetch the bayth to arrest ah but there's no baith here is there just leagues of wilderness and the dangers lurking within we're in this together but I'll happily go It Alone my faith will keep me company Shadow H Hearts ATT attention is fixed on a damaged old [Music] statue we we should keep moving I I don't know exactly lady shall protect me it felt oddly familiar but I don't know why I saw something that reminded me of my faith my mission I felt something rise within me like my blood was on fire then it passed that's all I know it's stopped now whatever it is let's just carry on let me guess you're wondering why I was in pain before best if we just get the subject out of the way now the wound on my hand it never quite heals and sometimes it causes terrible pain to rip through me it's my burden though from Lady sha I can feel her influence somehow I cannot say not with what I can recall but even then it would not be for me to question her will lady sha has her reasons it's difficult to say sometimes I wonder if it's supposed to be guiding me punishing me testing me but perhaps it's none of those perhaps it's completely random I'd like to hope there's more to it than that some meaning that lady sha will reveal to me when the time is right until then all I can do is endure it's less difficult than you might imagine when you can't remember life without it pain is sacred to followers of Lady sha pain will will give way to loss and then to the piece of her Eternal Darkness you can tolerate a great deal of suffering so long as it has meaning something the matter I had hoped you might be tactful enough to not pick at that particular scab seems I was mistaken my lady and your moon witch are at War so naturally we're enemies but enemies with a common purpose for now as long as we have use for each other I can bite my tongue and stay my blade I don't see what more needs to be said on the matter you're good company I'll admit it I'm sorry you're hindered by that supposed goddess but whatever you and I think of each other means little we stand in opposition our goddesses have determined [Music] it I suppose some would consider such diplomacy a virtue others might just see it as a lack of will but I suppose there's no harm in learning about the opposition no I doubt there's much to learn you alites are coddled decadent drunk on Hope fattened carves ready for sacrifice how so are you taught to churn your own butter while barely out of swaddling nothing saluna asks of you can compare to the tests that lady Sha's children [Music] endure what you think frolicking in the Woods by Moonlight and mounts to ATT test that's nothing that's just a childish thing I don't want to hear any more of it we've spoken enough of this I cannot allow your misguided beliefs to poison my mind the wound on my hand it never quite heals and sometimes it causes terrible pain to rip through me it's my burden know from Lady sha I can feel her influence somehow I cannot say not with what I can recall but even then it would not be for me to question her will lady sha has her reasons I'll try my best but seek is ingrained in me lady sha considers it Greater protection than any Shield or [Music] armor it's difficult to say sometimes I wonder if it's supposed to be guiding me punishing me testing me but perhaps it's none of those perhaps it's completely random I'd like to hope there's more to it than that some meaning that lady sha will reveal to me when the time is right until then all I can do is endure it's less difficult than you might imagine when you can't remember life without it pain is sacred to followers of Lady Sha pain will give way to loss and then to the Peace of her Eternal Darkness you can tolerate a great deal of suffering so long as it has [Music] meaning here my voice obey my command the voice is irresistible you recognize the overwhelming Authority that you've used on others only infinitely stronger and turned against you your vision clouds leaving you in a dark featureless shadowscape nothingness in every [Music] direction then there are three figures before you an armored man male elf exuding power and command a handsome younger man with a quick easy smile and a pale young woman with even paler [Music] eyes These are My Chosen they speak for me Aid their search for the prison and you will be worthy to stand beside them in my [Music] presence [Music] you feel energy pulsing from the artifact lifting the pain from you pushing the voice [Music] away my power grows my forces gather the Reckoning draws near [Music] don't give me that look I don't know what just happened anymore than you do we should keep [Music] going the voice is gone muted by this this gith Relic why does there's a half elf carry [Music] it I'm not sure I want to know but it's gone now we should keep moving I don't know not exactly all I know is it's important I get it back to Boulder's Gate at any cost [Music] because it was our mission to retrieve it me and the others I'm the only one who made it something the matter quite the understatement but yes I have it and I'll guard it with my life [Music] it's called Faith Duty doesn't have to add up to me as long as I serve I'm part of a bigger plan one that will be revealed in time that's not a luxury open to many people us included I have my faith to turn to in dead you should find something of your own I told you already I surrendered my memories for the sake of the mission Sha's Secrets must be protected Duty demands it once I fulfill my mission I can have my memories restored [Music] you already know my biggest secrets what more can you ask she took me in when no one else would without her I wouldn't be alive she's my mother she nurtures me cares for me loves me there's less truth in the moon witch's teachings than you've been led to believe s Lite what besides my life's calling in the greatest problem I've ever faced well I like night orits and can't swim is that the sort of thing you meant it's a deal no I can't quite literally I mean with my memor suppressed I can't betray Sha's Secrets but I can't remember much of my myself either if I manage to return to Boulder's Gate and fulfill Sha's Mission then my memories will be restored of course it is an act of faith not to be undertaken lightly sh will reward me when I succeed saluna as if mingling with a horde of goblins wasn't bad enough let's do what we have to do then get out of here a ruin abandoned to a murderous horde is a very fitting dedication to saluna everyone seems to be in High Spirits strange you know who I never thought I'd find myself caring [Music] for exactly right never gave them much thought certainly not that bunch of in the Grove yet we came through for them we saved their lives odd that's more easily said by some than others but nobody's here to debate right from wrong share a bottle with me we should wait a little while until the others have drifted off best not keep me waiting I'd prefer not to entertain [Music] myself you made it come here sit with [Music] me well to begin I think a toast is in order any suggestions bold what does US entail I suppose I'll find out to [Music] us now tell me something about yourself and no tadpoles dragons marauding goblins or anything like that something about [Music] you [Music] don't laugh but I'm not quite sure I have anything to share when you worship sha secrecy is everything we'll sacrifice our own memories when ordered to a lot of the little things they're lost to me right now H I did and you remembered you're sweet there's still plenty of wine and the whole night is ahead of [Music] us nearly light the others will be awake soon what I know but you're sweet to notice thank you for last night me too she Trails off you read an invitation in her eyes [Music] [Music] that didn't hurt did it good to know for the Future Let's head back if we [Music] must all's well I [Music] hope no I just wanted to see how you felt after the night we spent together when we talked and kissed I hope so too though I'm not sure what kind of cour ship will be afforded given all that we're facing but if you want to see where this goes I do as well Ryder my time is short lead me to sh such a familiar tone were I not merciful I would slice the skin clean from your meat yet you are not bleeding for I am nothing if not merciful your name [Music] child laelle Lael proud Regal even you will call me jtil KRA Voss Knight Supreme the Queen's silver the queen so I am who you say a gate vessel has fallen from the sky lazel thieves aboard have taken a weapon most precious it is polyhedric in shape and inscribed with the sacred ruins of our people you feel Shadow heart's anxiety the weapon that Voss seeks is the same one the absolutes followers are hunting it's the artifact that she carries her mind focuses the gi's suspicions cannot be of roused they cannot discover that the weapon they seek is Right within their grasp take word to your crush you are to join our search speak up child affirm your [Music] mandate [Music] you honor me with this Duty kith I shall alert my caretaker with Haste The kith nods content with lel's answer you serve your queen well child take your slaves and hunt those who escaped the GE ship they must carry the weapon I fly now to vth our undying Queen She Will will see your faith rewarded in this plane and ours a current of deception carries boss's words wherever he flies it is not to vth to Doos to the sky or your head walk away now I won't warn you again that artifact is an heirloom of my people likely she spilled githyanki blood in order to steal it this cannot stand arom plunder from some conquered realm more like this artifact is the only thing keeping us from becoming slaves to our parasites be glad I have it remove yourself if you are so e easily offended this is not your concern nonsense you're just finally showing us what you really are a reever to the Bone spare your indignity every word that spills from your mouth is worth less than the last incorrect judicious blood letting settles feuds and Roots out the weak the deceitful do you hear this tripe our lives are at stake and she wants us to turn on each other no others just you and [Music] me Nelle thinks I have something important to her people she's deluded clearly lies she carries an heirloom of my people I must know why the Bad Blood must be purged a jewel come first light you mean I'd get to prove you wrong and thrash you I love it get some rest lelle you'll need it you had every chance to look the other way but here we are you chose this spare me the justifications coward if anyone asks I'll say you were transforming don't expect to be [Music] mourned she's a liability it's the artifact we need not her let me up and I'll show you can I do that LEL can I turn my back on you never thieves aren't afforded such Lux loosen the grip on your pride for one blasted moment won't you we needn't be enemies there's plenty of those to go around already what would you have that we be friend friends let's not get ahead of ourselves but imagine what we might achieve if we channeled some of that hostility back at our real foes instead of each other they wouldn't stand a chance I don't think there'll be any more trouble between Lael and I if you were wondering we can all sleep easier now well apart from all the rest you have an interesting definition of friendly but yes find a shovel there's something I want to talk to you about something important I could have died in that pod back on the North lloid you could have died spending Precious Moments trying to free me but you did it anyway I owe you my life twice over in fact you supported me against laelle I may not have survived that night without you I'm trying to say that you've earned my trust in a way very few ever have I want that to mean something I want you to know more about me at least from what I can remember as long as I've prayed to Lady sha I've wished to serve her as a dark justicia there is scarcely a greater way to fully dedicate yourself to Lady sha safe perhaps if you become the head of her church to become a dark justicier is to become the night singer swordarm her Implement with which she will cast down the unbelievers and win the final battle to restore her perfect endless Darkness it's all I ever wanted I prayed it was my calling but mother forbid me from seeking to prove myself worthy of the rank she said I was not ready not my mother mother I should add the Mother Superior head of Lady Sha's Enclave in Boulder's Gate sometimes I wonder if she would ever deem me ready I owe her everything and I only wish to serve yet she can prove [Music] inscrutable dark justiciar are hated by many judged to be ruthless fanatics even the few who would accept a follower of Lady sha would likely bulk at a Justice here in their midst but there's a simpler answer to your question I simply forgot about the desire I had until I saw some things that reminded me now I can't get it out of my [Music] mind I don't know perhaps if I succeed in my mission and reach Boulder's Gate hope has little place amongst lady Sha's children it's an illusion a destruction but for this I hope my time will yet come I suppose you've noticed I'm not terribly fond of wol wolves they're ravenous Predators with fangs like daggers it's hardly an irrational fear to Harbor you've been decent to me so far maybe if you can don't make me face any more of them at least not [Music] alone thank you I had a feeling you'd be understanding there's something I've been wanting to share with you it now's a good [Music] time no the opposite I feel like I can share this with you I've never felt that way before it's difficult to put into words I think it might be easier to just show you use the tadpole the connection come into my [Music] mind I'm sure I trust [Music] you I don't remember how it started only how it ended I was [Music] fleeing [Music] she asked my name I can't remember what I said I can't remember anything before those WS all I know is she saved my life and gave me a new home with Lady sha that's all I remember you remember that it is common amongst sala's followers to send their children into the woods alone a right of passage to find their way home perhaps this one has gone arry [Music] you're reading too much into things a childhood bble that's all just because cites claim something doesn't mean they own [Music] it normally I'd agree but with you it's getting easier by the moment huh so that's what people mean when they talk about butterflies in their stomach pain is the gauntlet that all who love lady sha must endure only her Embrace can truly heal me to try and Salve myself would do nothing but shame me in the night singer's [Music] eyes perhaps you're right and perhaps one day I won't have to suffer but I don't think that day has arrived yet lady sha will ease my pain when she wishes to I I can't my memories are being withheld for a reason lady sha will return them to me when the time is right no sooner besides mushrooms aren't my favorite I think it's because of the [Music] gills I've given my answer I'm not eating that thing go sell it or make an omelet with it for all I care all right give it [Music] here I think so I remember something not everything it's new and not new at the same time all jumbled up I was younger much younger and an initiate at the Closter I was upset about something the others were teasing me mocking my name like I wasn't worthy of it there was another a teeling boy with short horns and purple hair I think he was my friend he tried to make me feel better renald that's the last part of I remember that must be his name perhaps he's still there in Boulder's Gate I'm not sure what else I can say at least until I can remember more she taught me trained me punished me often I think I feel her influence when the wound pains me not even memories just glimpses Impressions perhaps the wound is her doing something lady sha bid her to do I don't know that Dr near is going to be on his last gasp inless someone digs him out though not necessarily Our concern of [Laughter] course what's your game exactly a Salo night bearing gift sounds like a trick if I ever heard [Music] one easily done how am I ever going to explain this in my prayers the shadow curse it doesn't seem to affect me like it does others not as badly at least do you know what this means I must be blessed lady sha is protecting me where others are left to face her wroth she loves me she must [Music] do the darkness is the truth salite in the end there will only be endless black and those that lady sha has embraced cling to your torches and memories of the sun if you like see how long you last without me [Music] lady sha wouldn't bless me like this for no reason there must be something she wants of me those signs we found about dark justicier perhaps they were no coincidence in either case I need to watch for any place dedicated to Lady sha a temple perhaps rings a bell why oh hells you didn't pick that by hand did you they're deadly poisonous joking they're safe and beautiful thank you I don't have anything to give you in return I'm afraid we'll see give me a while to put my imagination to work very serious of you but go [Music] ahead sorry was lost in thought something the matter I don't fully know just a nagging feeling almost like I'm conflicted about something but I don't quite know what it it's nothing forget it too much time in my own head is that so well I hope you don't intend to make such a claim without some evidence to support [Music] it true prayer needs peace and serenity has proved elusive of late I'll admit it staying true to Lady Shaw has proved difficult at times I found that my mind is prone to wandering wandering to places I shouldn't go at that forbidden thoughts hidden memories all that lady sha would Shield me from until I am ready sometimes it feels like there's something just Out Of Reach some truth on the tip of my tongue and at times I feel like I can almost voice it when I ate the noble stalk I remembered I had a friend but all I have is a name in the face there must be more when I shared the memory from my childhood you found it far too easy to make a connection to saluna for my liking nothing is simple anymore sometimes it feels like all I have a doubt the Mother Superior must have had a reason to deny me the chance to become a dark justicier perhaps this is the reason perhaps I'm simply not worthy forget I ever said anything I'm just indulging in thoughts best buried I can't believe we found the dark lady's sacred Crucible I know I can scarcely believe it's real but I saw it with my own eyes felt the polished stone walls raised in lady Sha's honor normally it would not be for me to pursue becoming a dark justicier without a superior's command but this is different my lady wanted me to find this place I know it overwhelming worship of Lady sha is usually discreet by Nature her holy sights have to be modest well hidden but that place I never knew such Grandeur had been built in her [Music] honor The Gauntlet of sha is no ordinary Temple it is the highest test of the dark lady's faithful to judge if they are worthy of becoming a dark justicier The Gauntlet has double meaning it speaks of the ordeals to be overcome and of the armor clad fist of Lady sha that would embrace the worthy survive the crushing Gauntlet and be embraced by the night singer at its very call the old ways were lost over time now some claim the rank simply by killing a single salite but before they were a true Elite many would attempt the trials but few would succeed [Music] [Music] you do not belong here your mind upends somehow in the decayed soup of this creature's brain a tadpole lives another presence nurtures it manipulates it like a puppet no you you do not belong this is the dark lady's house she has no use for old faithless bones you plunder you meal you upset my plans [Music] leave I am their creator I saved them from [Music] life from Death from their skin and their flesh now they serve me leave before stupid F bastard cockhead you have awoken the Shadows my forces are split the defenses are there him rally on me a wall of bone and blade against the darkness now the bowl contains an ancient rusted blood stain it forms a neat disc as if spilled calmly and willingly this is one of Lady Sha's trials allow me it's important [Music] bearing the stains of an ancient blood [Music] offering another trial I need to do this same as before [Music] nothing nothing's wrong at all it's fine where really I just feel we're on the right track I'm right where I need to be under lady Sha's gaze this must be the last step I need to [Music] pray only by Lady Sha's Grace did we even make it this far nothing shadowart continues her prayer in [Music] silence you feel your mind slip into Shadow Hearts but you are not the only one present there is another ancient commanding rendered from purest Darkness sha take my spear step forward and strike down the salite as you command night singer now go warm my Blade with moon crazed blood and be wary of your companion she PR in your THS that wasn't for you to [Music] hear you'd be wise to turn a blind eye I won't fail not when I'm this close it's simple my lady sha Demands a Sacrifice one life not that it matters but her reward aligns with your own interests please how many breathed their last just so we could make it this far trust me this will help us just remember what I said let me do what I need to as you step into the silent water a foreign dread travels through you it curls its way up your leg squeezing [Music] [Music] tight [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] lady sha I can feel her all around this is her domain this is the shadow fell you did well better than I would have credited you with now now hurry along and bear witness to my [Music] masterpiece this is the dark lady's domain he does not belong here raise one finger to me and I'd suer you like lightning wood a rotten Oak now enough Al questions follow [Music] me bazon come to add more bars to my [Music] cage or perhaps to lead this would be Justus blade directly to my heart [Music] [Music] I invite you keep more sins upon your head my retribution will be all the sweeter for [Music] them all this time and you still failed to appreciate the gifts I bestowed on you alien sad to see a thing of beauty not recognize its own worth but General Thorn he appreciates you and he wants you close at hand so I am here to whisk you back to him Catholic I welcome the sight of him after these hundred years he whose immortality I Supply with my very [Music] Soul General Thor I'm sure you'll be on your best behavior for him but just in case I've taken some precautions keep back it will take quite some concentration to secure aen for her little [Music] journey person please you insult her you insult me aen is so much more than that she is an asimar bound to a soul cage of my creation and lending her Immortal strength to general form her power his will and my genius and unsurpassable [Music] feet ramblings most unsane poor balazar for maggots ate his brain long ago hold your tongue aen or I'll take it away from you again and you no more questions no more [Music] interference the arrogance of divinity your Patron will not hear your prayers when I add you to my undying retinue godling balazar has drawn his final rans breath a Pity it was not my hand that brought it about instead it was [Music] you you who have come to seek the praise of your wicked goddess you who have come to drive a dagger through my heart not a dagger a spear my lady Sha's [Music] spear her fate is mine to seal let me handle this the Fate you seal is your own to be a dark justicier is to turn your heart from everything but loss you will know no love no joy only servitude until of course your mistress inevitably discards you and there is much she does not tell you a terrible blood price that may extend beyond my own death you feel Shadow heart bristling this is important to her but your bond is strong you may yet be able to sway her from the path of Duty to the path of light and Night song is not blind to your conflict behind that raging heart is the Restless beat of one who knows too well that her fate hangs in the [Music] balance I yes I think so my whole life's been leading to this no turning back now [Music] if I have to step over your corpse to fulfill what lady sha asks of me so be it your [Music] choice well well well what's that I sense a spear intended for my heart empowered by your God goddess I empowered to kill the child of a god do you know what I am little assassin for I know you a Lost Child frightened by wolves in the dark what did you say much has been promised to you hasn't it but what has been taken from you what what do you know of your own heart your own life I sense more in you than you know I what do you think what should I [Music] do [Music] hey I can't believe I just did that lady sha will disown me what will happen to me not what will happen what will you do your past is not yet lost your future is not yet fixed lay a hand on me in Friendship not quite Shon and I will fight the battle that has been waiting for me this last century then oh then we will have much to [Music] discuss Our Lady of Silva hear me she who guides the moon Maiden saluna mother of the socalled nightsong the Night song is no [Music] more [Applause] [Music] I am resplendant you have given me a great gift little warrior don't you find it Al so curious that you would spurn your dark lady perhaps you feel a starring of the truth already but that will come later there is a battle yet to be fought you have done what we feared was impossible you have released me from essential of Sorrow your power is great so too must be your weapon you must choose what you will wield and the moon Maiden will provide thus I have said thus will it be so are you ready to kill cic Thor we need to leave lady sha won't stand for us to be here not after what we did I'm not sure there's a place that's far enough away for me to go lady sha must be angry there's only silence let's get out of here please whatever's coming I don't want to be in the heart of the Shadow fell when it finds me the Night song will be headed for Moonrise Towers we'd better get there and see what she's Unleashed against Krick [Music] Thor [Music] [Music] a [Music] [Music] a powerful Ally well chosen Shadow I thought perhaps I might have been dead this this is all like some sort of terrible dream but it's real isn't it I stood before the night song I heard lady Sha's words and I failed her worse than failed her I defied her just because of what that asamar said I tried to leave but sha blocked me punished me for failing in her I thought I knew the limit of pain that the incurable wound could inflict but I had no idea it felt like I was suffering the agony of a thousand people all at once my blood was boiling my hair was on fire I thought I'd claw my own face off with the pain but then she released me banished me more like she said I was an outcast that all of her children would know me and revile me shadowart looks distraught abandoned by her goddess and all former allies and as for her Divine magic admitting who empowers her now may break her spirit for [Music] good I suppose I do don't I you've done more to help me than my faith has in recent times if I'm honest thank you there's been something between us for some time a connection more than friends I recognized it but didn't act on it I thought my faith was the most important thing in my life I couldn't have been more wrong I've squandered too much time already I want to be with you now and always do you want the same it wasn't too long ago that I could never imagine smiling again shows what I know Night song promis she tell me something about myself I need to speak with her as soon as I can what she said to me back in the shadow fell about the Wolves that's no coincidence she took flight to hunt down Krick Thor all I can do is help hasten his demise and hope that answers soon follow don't thank me I didn't do it for her I'm not even sure I did it for [Applause] me thank you I think any attempts at comforting me might be in vain just now but you're sweet to keep me in your thoughts do you really need to ask I'm sorry I have a lot on my mind the shadow fell Night song I can think of little else that's not the first time you've made such a leap maybe I shouldn't be entirely shocked I did full for a salite after [Music] all the sooner I speak to Night song The sooner I'll know what the future holds for me assuming I have a future at all aen this is oh but we have met this is the soldier that freed me most valiantly from the shadow fell they watched my boot crush the very brain of villainy and fought well against your changed father may he Rest in Peace at Last now that he's dead I have more to thank you for than I knew and we have much to discuss perhaps we could join you in your Camp [Music] later [Music] we look forward to it you there Sharon by the fires of your Camp's Hearth we will discuss all we must I'll be ready whatever you have to say had better be worth your life now you will leave us we must take sucker in one another's body and words aen we'll see you later what do you know about me you spoke of my past being chased by Wolves I told no one about that almost no one but I certainly didn't share that with you there is nothing I can tell you that you do not already know yourself they trained you well trained you hard hard chiseled away any part of you that did not fit their plan they made you forget I chose to do that for the mission to protect Shaz Secrets yes yes that is an old song girl your goddess cares more for her precious Secrets than she does her devot get to the point when you freed me you severed a bond between me and that dog Thor a bond of pain his inflicted on me when I laid eyes on you I sensed a similar Bond you Tethered to two others someplace distant let me help you remember he feels Shadow heart's mind tug at the edges of your own you know this sensation she wants you to see whatever is about to be [Music] revealed your mind joins with Shadow Hearts something pulls at you both bringing you [Music] [Music] [Music] elsewhere [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] you remember that it is a common right amongst the Luna's followers to send their children off into the woods to find their way home perhaps this time it had gone ay it seems that one child never came back she was taken what who was that man you already know did you not see yourself in him do you not recognize your own blood my father that was him that is him he lives still and your mother too no it can't be I'm an orphan and who told you that your adoptive family you are not to blame you were young impressionable they took you because they wanted to break and remake you but you are a child no longer you are a woman one who knows what must be done my parents I need to save [Music] them I I don't know your parents both followed the moon Maiden I could sense their faith even in a brief glimpse of the past it is a tragedy that the moon maiden's right was perverted by Sha your future was stolen from you your parents are with your abductors you will need to return to their Lair but be warned you may have once thought of them as comrades mentors friends even lovers they will all be enemies now you have been forewarned for what is to come but not yet forearmed I was able to retrieve it before it sank to too far into Sha's umbrell domain sh is quick to discard whatever she has no use for I think you know that well enough but I felt it call to me as I took flight whatever sha calls her own saluna has equal claim to they are one and the same their power is matched and mirrored take it you will find it useful what you do with it that will be up to you same as before I'll need every Advantage it seems thank you a dead repaid you returned my life unto me now go and claim your own it hurts sha torments you still what a spiteful creature she is this will not stop until you take action see that your parents sacrif viices are not in vain allow the moon Maiden to guide you at last I've been lied to my whole life and I was gullible enough to just believe it my parents are alive and I have to save them I think a part of me always knew that a part that sha denied to [Music] me that may be so but this is something I need to do myself you'll have to forgive me if I'm a little wary of goddesses just now we'd better press on for now and hope we're ready when the moment comes but before that there's one thing I need to see too you'll see for yourself soon enough just leave it with me your stomach churns around and around the bile within is unsettled each moment brings a new surge your companions sleep like Blissful lumps of [Music] meat the gods fight over her but is she truly that special you could do so much better me [Music] I won't lay so much as a Talon on her I wouldn't rob you of that [Music] Delight your clever mind is Penning tragedy as we speak your repressed urge yearns to kill and kill you will tonight the moment you close your eyes your favorite person will be [Music] brutalized we all kill what we love most in time ah she was starting to trust you the only one she ever had says pity it's coming to an [Music] end it is my duty to ensure you are making the right decisions Master there was much disappointment at your reluctance to kill the little Moon Maiden you could kill this one deliberately I'm sure it will be considered a great show of goodwi the tithe could still be [Music] yours I do not doubt you will act with a decorum befitting one of your rank good night sweet [Music] lady your companion rests blissfully without a fear in the world as your hand approaches her body it waivers it longs to close around her [Music] throat oh has the mood struck you love I suppose we could try if you think the others won't stir hold on you look like you've had a shock something the [Music] matter all right I'm awake tell me everything as you tell your story fatigue fills your body your head swims with the worst headache you've [Music] known El what I wouldn't give for a boring lover sometimes I'd rather you trusted me sooner given all we've been through already seems like some sort of curse the last bloody thing we need but we're going to help you through this together suddenly you become drowsy your vision blurs and floods with yellow vile and you faint in a dizzy [Music] blur you are not yourself all control is gone you convinced me to spare Night song You and I are both capable of resisting the darkness that compels [Music] us [Music] easy you're in control blood lust won't win [Music] tonight you can thank me once the blood lust subsides keep focused the night passes sick and sweating but bloodlessly you once again inhabit your own [Music] mind I think some more explaining is in order exactly what just came over [Music] you I'll help protect you I promise seems I'll need to just to keep myself safe will'll best this just think positively or at least don't think murderously besides there's plenty of foes out there for you to vent your impulses on I know you have your personal demons to contend with but if I didn't make it clear before I think you can beat this just don't give in and seek help if you need it you wanted something so there's been a mind flare inside the artifact or astral prism the whole time we've had it sounds like utter Madness even though I've seen it with my own eyes the more I learn the less I understand just why I was sent to retrieve that thing but it matters little now I do not serve sha anymore nor the Mother Superior the prism is no longer my mission saving my parents it but I digress be honest what do you think of the new look don't get your hopes up I'm not exactly Keen to throw my lot in with another goddess after what happened last time worms Crossing we could be inside the city walls before long and I could be back where this all [Music] started I hope so so long as I'm willing to stroll right into the mother superior's trap they have no reason to not tell me where to [Music] go worms Crossing is a choke point if if I wanted to intercept a new arrival I'd find somewhere before the bridge blend in amongst the crowds and wait most people seeking entry to the city will be refugees I'd look wherever they're Gathering I just lost a wager thanks to you who are you someone who bet that you'd never be foolish enough to actually show your face in this city again but here you are and the gold in my purse is soon to take flight there have been whispers about you sister about your faith your loyalty your company I can't help but feel the strangest twinge of disgust as I look upon you is it true has our lady forsaken you I know the truth I know my parents still live tell me where they are and I have no quarrel with you I'm afraid the quarrel is unavoidable thanks to you now I must report your reappearance if you are intent on bringing matters to her head then seek out the house of grief in the lower City tell me one thing is there someone called Ronald there a tling with short horns and purple hair renold now there is a name I haven't heard in a while he is no more I'll leave the rest for you to find out heretic I can still feel the shadow fell all over me still hear her words in my ear I feel [Music] unclean I hope that's true but I'm not so sure she has a far reach and a long memory I have an idea something I've wanted to do for a while something that might help me put her in the past but I'll need your [Music] help wait until the others are asleep then come with me there's a place we can go down the coast a little this will do take off your [Music] clothes I don't doubt you in the slightest come on then we've already come this far fine [Music] well don't just stand there turn around you haven't even attempted to Peak I'm a little [Music] offended you're lucky I didn't have anything more dangerous to throw than [Music] undergarments what don't just stare I know your turn no I I don't know if I can do this now that I'm here what wait oh hell's that's [Music] cold come here thank you I needed that I needed to know I can face things without sha I don't want to go back not just [Music] yet just a [Music] pebble now don't you dare [Music] stop something the matter I should hope not after the time we spent together my spirits are thoroughly [Music] lifted oh not feeling any regrets I [Music] hope I'm glad I feel the same way though I'm still finding sand in my hair I wonder what the others will think of [Music] that but of course they will I hope we'll have more opportunities to slip away and make sand castles since we arrived in the city I can't help but feel a little anxious but I'm not sure I know [Music] why I don't think it's what happens if we fail that concerns me will be beyond our worries at that point I think what what bothers me is what happens if we succeed I've never been able to write my own future I wouldn't even know where to begin well I want to save my parents of course take them away far from Sha's influence someplace peaceful away from the city perhaps I was going to save the best until last but to put your mind at ease yes I want to share everything that lies ahead of me with you if you're willing of course then it sounds like I have everything I need more of life than I'd ever imagined possible without sha welcome welcome to the house of grief or perhaps welcome is the wrong word shadowart there's been some debate whether you'd even show up and face the consequences of your actions I assumed you tried to flee like a craven spare me your Venom I'm sure the Mother Superior will have plenty of her own all in due time this is a place of healing anyone who partook in our methods did so willingly and left with a smile on their face freed from their troubles would you accuse a surgeon of robbing a tumor I think not as I said in due time first you submit to the mapping of the heart only then can we know what is to be done with you this is the house of grief we strive to help those whose Hearts have grown heavy be it with anger Melancholy grief or treachery submit to the mapping and reveal what lurks in your heart if you cons sent follow me if you do not leave [Music] you seek to be unburdened yes the mapping of the heart can reveal the way yet there is another here whose need is great that voice and now me I think I'm supposed to do this do you know why you are here there is something I lost no had taken from me my family my life I want it all back loss is a gift girl do you still not understand that now give me the true answer what is your purpose in being here here the artifact I was sent to retrieve it at any cost and who tasked you with this Mission the Mother Superior of sh it's you give me the honor of my name in I I can't my memories I'm I know what's in that head of yours better than you do girl my name Mother Superior vonia de you still have the wits to recognize your betters good now descend you have much to answer for an astral projection very clever I'll stay on my toes around this one this is it where I was raised trained HTH it's strange to be back they already heard how you disgraced yourself before lady sha how she marked you as the enemy but it is quite another thing for them to see it for for themselves I am very glad you decided to return a cautionary tale such as yours will be studied by Lady Sha's initiates for years to come but perhaps I can make a case for some small measure of Mercy give me the artifact and I can at least make this quick enough I don't answer to you not anymore I'm here for my family that's right I know what you did and it's not going to be quick this is your family and now you have turned your back on it the artifact was your last chance to prove yourself and you squandered it such misplaced camaraderie how about this surrender this one to me now and you can leave freely and consider lady Sha's forces your allies in the battles to [Music] come as you like L for sure finish it send me to Lady Sha's Embrace she still has answers I need my parents where are they so blunt have you forgotten all the interrogation techniques I taught you where is the Finesse answer me they are right through that door in the chamber of loss where they have been all along you saw them many times Only We Made You Forget but they didn't forget they watched as we molded you they watched they wept they bled often at your hand it may not be a happy reunion but it will be a memorable [Music] one why why me why all this effort lady sha commanded me and I obeyed I do not question I merely act as she Wills me to I had an enclave in Water Deep you know much grander than this sha ordered me to raise it kill all who followed me claim they betrayed me when in fact I slew those who showed nothing but loyalty sha had me do that and I did to cover my tracks to usher in you what are you talking about you became my mission to take a child of solunus and turn her over to Lady sha to show that all light Fades and darkness will prevail in the end all this was to make you into what the dark lady needed you to be the planning the training those deaths in water Jeep it was all to groom you to replace me at her right hand side and still you threw it [Music] away I want to see my parents and I don't care what happens to this one she's been in my head long enough already do what you like I know you'll choose well what are you doing come back and finish this yourself you owe me that let go mother Embrace [Music] loss I I'm a de [Music] at Al [Music] you can't be another vile trick no there is no trick it's her jev Jan a little girl Moon maiden's Grace it is you I'm here to get you out of here they're all gone it's [Music] over it is not over you see it matters not if you raise this place if you slay every one of your brothers and sisters that was never where my power resided every time you try to step away from me every time you try to reach for saluna my hold on you bites deeper if you had learned if you had obeyed there would be no pain but you struggle on you make things worse for yourself and for [Music] them I am neither I am nothing I am the empty room the dreamer sleep the Shadow's Shadow there was no pain before my my sister set the sun of flame now you exist to suffer until you find your way back to My Embrace enough I'm taking my parents away from here I'm taking them away from you you cannot we are still bound to you you cannot both free us and free yourself from her curse the moon Maiden needs you more than she needs leads us you are the future you must return to the fold we are the past and our duty is almost done eloquently put his mind stood up well to his time here the same cannot be said for your mother such brief fragile lives humans lead this is my final lesson I leave you now to dwell on your mist mistakes and make your choice Sha's parting words make your flesh crauel there is no lesson to be learned here only a family's torment a spiteful goddess's whims and an unspeakable choice to be made she's gone I I don't understand sh will never admit defeat not until she has stolen one last thing from you we cannot allow your future to be her last prize not after all your mother and I have endured to see you again your companion understands I think help her please help her see what must be done no I I can't I came here for them and you did you found us all these years that dream kept us going that you would break free no matter what they made you do to us we knew you was still in there I knew the dark woods wouldn't frighten you you were always such a brave girl she was and still is you saved us now save yourself you'll be out of Sha's reach and we'll be at peace I only just found you again after all this time I can't lose you again we'll still be with you by the moon maiden's Grace will never be far please [Music] Jennifer free but with the memory of what I've done don't ask me to kill my parents please I can't live with that the price of insubordination you could have been blissfully ignorant if you stayed In My Embrace but you strayed and now you [Laughter] choose is is this truly what you want it is what we need all of us you were meant to be a Guiding Light for sala's faithful but they robbed you from us now that can be wred and we can rest help us Jen I can let go now I've seen your face again goodbye not goodbye not even [Music] [Music] close [Music] in a way but they're also right here look Moon they bring sala's light to dark places and offer guidance to those in need my parents are watching over me let's leave this place there's nothing more for me [Music] here Shadow heart still I can't run away from who I was all this time besides there's something fitting to it can't cast a shadow without some light my parents I saw them spoke to them and let them go it's it's more than I can take in just now give me a night to try and get my head together doesn't look like anyone's been here in a while perhaps people lost faith or forgot about it I wanted to come here to see if I felt anything that I hadn't done before now that I know what I know now that I know who I [Music] am so much time's been lost already most of it I can't even remember what I do remember it would have been so much easier to just become a monster I had my family for Too Short a moment now they gone by my hand I remember but they can't comfort me they can't give me advice they can't tell me what I was like as a little girl it's been a long time since I've shed a tear I don't even know how long we carry on it's all we can do I'll follow in a while I think I want to stay here a little longer firstly this place isn't familiar but it's peaceful shallow H heart she's as much a part of who I am as geneville can't just forget her it's not what I do anymore besides Shadow heart still suits me even better than before perhaps you can't cast a sh Shadow Without some light why hello lover that sounded more Deon a in my head I'll admit do you need something most a lost forever some may creep back into my mind if I encounter anything that helps clear the fog then there's what sha did restore to me memory of pain suffering both my own and what I inflicted it's overwhelming like a lifetime's worth of nightmares Unleashed all at once upon waking I can barely untangle one moment from another not that I even want to I just know that my heart sinks if I let my thoughts wander to them perhaps but in the meanwhile I'll just have to find a way to live with them sha seeks to break people to fill their lives with despair so that they will turn to her for Relief perhaps she thought this would lead me back to her in time but it won't I fought too hard to win my freedom I will not give it up again no matter how much it [Music] hurts of course from the first time I laid eyes on you right until now that's all safe I wouldn't surrender even a moment of it high hall there's nowhere else to go this is where it all ends my [Music] love hardly we're going to win this understand but no sense missing the [Music] opportunity I'll look forward to the next last kiss and the one after that last night was perfect though I couldn't help lying there thinking about my parents before you [Music] stirred I gave them the release they asked for freed myself self from Sha's grasp just as they wished for but there's moments where I think I'd trade there to be able to see them again talk to them again there's so much only they could have told me but that's all gone now I've got to move on find some place for myself I was hoping you'd say that whatever lies ahead will be far less daunting if I have you it could be just like old times well hopefully not exactly like old times I think I've had enough camping and Mortal Peril for one lifetime
