[Blood spatter.]

Ah.

Guess I messed up a bit!

Sorry, Mike. Justin. Looks like I've gotta go!

It's funny. When it comes down to it, there's so much I want to say that's just been left [And the rest of the writing is cut off by more blood]

[the page is smeared with blood and dirt, and the writing is messy]

heh

i tried, i

guess this is how i end

managed to stun the thing though, if y' wanna kill it now'syer chance

[Voice: On]

Take THAT, fucking dragon.


Fuck this hurts pretty bad.




Hey everyone okay?

[Filter: Lysander and Aidan]









Ash is dead.




I'm sorry.

[Filter: Private]

Making our peace, he says...

Well, I suppose no time's as good as now...

[Filter: Landis]

We're almost there. You had best be still alive.

[Filter: Aidan]

I'm proud of you.

I suppose if everyone is making their peace now, I should kinda get something off my chest.

Hey kiddo, you still reading this thing?

[voice on]

Henry, you asshole, you'd better be still alive.

[Filter: Myra]

I

If we live through this

argh

[voice on]

[long long silence here]

...Augh.

[looking for her now! oh there she is]

Ah... Myra.

[Filter: Garland, Mea, Jackson, Valerie, Aidan, and Lysander]
[there are an assortment of blood spatters all over the page; the writing appears painfully slowly]

fuck that bastard hits hard

still alive, if anybody cares

[pause, pentaps]

got it, though
will take me a bit longer to get back

fuck

[Voice on]

[Filter: Abby]

Not too much further to the gates. Think we should record this for posterity? Because I'm thinking it's worth it.

[Filter: Private; Language: Silesian]

Huh.

I get back to work, and the first thing I find is a sword that looks exactly like my father's.

[Pause]

I have to wonder if it's really a coincidence to find something like this just as I start to get really frustrated about not being able to do anything.

[Looooooooooooong pause]

I've always wanted a better world for myself and my sister. Maybe I should throw off these shackles of cowardice, ditch the excuses and fight for it.

[Filter: Public]

So, uh, anyone in Silesia planning on doing anything about these hungry hungry dragons?

I'm nearly willing to join up and help the silly royals at this point.

[Filter: Garland Chalphy; Grandbellian]

I'm going to be answering in Lord Freege's stead, as he's been busy the last few days with bringing everything here under control.

We have recaptured Freege, and are preparing a counterattack. There are a lot of people here who'd like a piece of Loputous and his followers.

[Filter: Garland; Language: Grandbellian]

Sorry I didn't answer earlier. You still in Velthomer?

[Filter: Public; Language: Basic]

Hey, you. How's the trip going so far?

[Filter: Christine, Ash]
I know neither of you will see this and I'm writing to you both all the same... I don't know why. I suppose it makes me feel a bit better, even though I know one of you is dead and the other is incapable of answering me at the moment.

You two have always been the strongest people in my life, after all, and, now...

I don't know what to do, Christine... I know I'm now the only one capable of opening the portal once again and your son is the only one who can stop Loputous so long as he has the tome, but to get anywhere near the portal means I have to leave him here and go. I can't do that to him. I promised I

Ash, I suppose you would hate me for this, but... I can't be strong like either of you. I want to be for the boys, but I'm not like you two. I can't just...


[pause]


[Filter: Aidan]
Forgive me...

[Filter: Private]

...

I'll do it for you, mother.

I'm sorry I didn't do this sooner.

kay, need a plan

ARROWS

They hurt regular riding dragons, but not these

...bigger arrows?

[poorly-drawn sketch of a giant arrow impaling a big black dragon]



hahahaha

didn't even wanna fight but that guy's right if even JANET can't hold it together we're fucked!!!

1) get giant arrow
2) shoot dragon
3) ???
4) PROFIT!!!

[Voice: On]

FINALLY done with that whole desert thing.

[Filter: Private]

So. Velthomer first, huh? Wonder if it's still as bad as before.

It doesn't look too great from over here.


Well, here goes.

[Filter: House Velthomer]

Alright. This is Garland Chalphy writing. Right now, I'm riding towards Velthomer, and a mission to recover the lost Holy Weapons is under way. The real goal is of course to kick Loputous out of our world and back to whereever he came from.

This isn't something I or even a few houses can do alone, so I'm asking you for your support. We need to show our people that we haven't given up yet. Loputous was defeated before, and we can do it again. It's gonna be all over if we don't, anyway.

[pause, sigh]

[Filter: Private]

Man I suck at this stuff.

[Filter: Pelleas, Abby, Reefis, Thomas]

We're about to reach Velthomer. How are you doing?

[another pause]

[Filter: Landis, Badger Dude, Valerie, Aidan, Lysander]

Mea and I just left the desert. Everything alright with all of you?

[Filter:Caden]

I made it to Lenster. I'm holding you responsible for what happens ehn I have to return to Isaac with this horse.

[Filter: Henry]

I'm still safe. I should meet up with Caden very shortly. I'll write again later to tell you everything. I do think I need a warm bath about now.
