It did seem to leave the Dragon God in a frenzied, violent state... but I believe the calamities were because of the human itself. Because it was a source of corrupted magla that spread to the land, bringing disease and desolation with it.

Were you able to fix the problem?

[ kill? the human? ]
trifocal: (pic#17652651)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-06 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. We were able to slay the human and free our god, so that it could at last return to its sacred vessel.

And then you don't need to be sacrificed?

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-07 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ a nod. ]

Nor shall anyone else. I believe we have been mistaken about the truth of our traditions. The priestess is to give her life in service, not sacrifice.

[personal profile] hotfixer 2025-03-07 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
That's a really unfortunate mistake to have made.

[ too lightly... ]

But I'm glad it got cleared up.
trifocal: (pic#17652646)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-08 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
... As am I. I was able to find a greater purpose, instead.

And... I am glad that I was able to return to my brother.

What did you do with the rest of your life?

[ your greater purpose. ]

Once the village was saved, I decided to set forth to travel the lands beyond the island.

If I am to protect the island, ignorance will only be a burden. So I wish to learn more about the world and its people, so that I can use that knowledge to help build a better future for the mustari.

Although... those plans were cut short mere days after I made landfall.

[personal profile] hotfixer 2025-03-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Is that when you died?
trifocal: (pic#17705548)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-08 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
... Yes.

I met an unfathomably cruel man, and though I usually would not consider such a thing, I resolved to kill him. But I was inexperienced, and I was bested.

Do you plan to go back and try again?
hotfixer: (pic#17600514)

[personal profile] hotfixer 2025-03-09 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
I understand.

It's hard for anyone to turn away from a second chance.
trifocal: (pic#17705547)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-09 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
... I suppose so. I was raised not to fear death, but... even so, there are people who I wish I had protected. If I return, I may be able to complete my duty properly.

[ also if you have any mems i would love one... ]

[ she nods.

ramiel tends to be on the side of 'just stay in heaven, it's great here.' but that's usually for people who aren't sure about heaven itself. from this conversation, it seems like that's not really even a factor to eupha. she wants to go back to life, and ramiel doesn't think that's a wrong answer either.

before she says anything more: a memory. from 07:26 to 8:43. ]

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-09 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ hmm. there is a lot she doesn't understand here, but. ]

That person... he was going to die?
hotfixer: (pic#17600523)

[personal profile] hotfixer 2025-03-09 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
... Yes.

We needed him to act as a figurehead. But in order to do so, his body would be... overtaxed.
trifocal: (pic#17652589)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-09 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Why would it hurt him so?
hotfixer: (pic#17645303)

[personal profile] hotfixer 2025-03-09 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It has to do with technology that I imagine you're unfamiliar with.

But think of it like he was sick. Making him do what we needed would make the sickness worse and worse until it killed him.
trifocal: (pic#17652497)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-10 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Why did you need him? Couldn't it be someone else?
hotfixer: (pic#17645299)

[personal profile] hotfixer 2025-03-10 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
It would have been easier if it could have been anyone. Even me.

But his identity was our leverage.

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-10 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[ well. she kind of knows what it's like, to be the one person whose very life can be used for an important purpose. she understands a society that would ask a person to make such a sacrifice. ]

... Did he complete that duty?
hotfixer: (pic#17645307)

[personal profile] hotfixer 2025-03-10 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
He did. And it caused his emulation to corrupt completely.
trifocal: (pic#17652678)

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-03-10 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ she doesn't know what that means exactly, but. that sounds like death. ]

I'm sorry. It looked like you cared for him.
