Adventurer Stories Episode 1 The Ever-Changing World Please note that this story contains spoilers for the Faith Forsaken (Part Two) event. Origa: The Progenitor may arise while I am yet serving as Satan's yoke. Origa: I leave that fight to you, and with it, this world of beautiful possibility. Gala Prince: We'll stop him. I promise. Origa: Thank you. And...I am sorry. My soul was sealed in another world along with Satan. I may never be able to return to my own world again. But nonetheless... ???: ...riga... Origa... Origa: Regina…? Regina: Wake up, Origa. Regina: Well, look who's finally awake. Bit incautious of you to be dozing off while sitting on the throne, eh? Origa: Regina...? Wait, I'm in the Papal chamber? But why? Regina: Uh, because you're the pope and the Auspex? Where else would you be? Origa: No, that's impossible. I was sealed away along with Satan! Regina: Uh...Satan? I think maybe you should go wash the sleep from your eyes. Origa: What? Regina: We're holding talks with Alberia regarding our alliance shortly; as the representative of Grams, we need you on your game. Origa: (She doesn't even know about Satan? And what's this about an alliance?) Origa: (What in the world is happening?!) Zena: Well met, Origa. It has been some time. I am delighted that we should come face- to-face for a meeting once more. Origa: Oh, er...yes. Likewise. Gala Prince: You have our great thanks for sending reinforcements during the decisive battle with the Empire. Because of that, we were able to secure peace in the south. Origa: ...... According to Euden and the others, Grams and Alberia formed an alliance a long time ago. As such, the royal house of the south and the Northern Church have enjoyed many years of fine friendship. There was considerable desire amongst the people that New Alberia and the Empire should be merged in the postwar period, so the prince and his allies saw it done, meaning he now governs the unified Kingdom of Alberia. The former Empress, sister of the prince, vanished into North Grastaea along with the group calling itself Agito. Tied up with governance, the prince found himself unable to follow them himself, and so enlisted the apostles to track them down. To avoid fomenting animosity on the part of former imperial subjects, the government's public face is a joint body of the prince and the former Empress. But now, the role of the prince's vanished sister is filled by Zena, the woman from another world. Origa: (History in this world seems to have taken a far different course from my memories.) Origa: (Other worlds are paths born from multitudinous possibilities... Perhaps the seal has caused me to stray into one of them.) Origa: (A world derived from the possibility of there not having been conflict between Grams and Alberia.) Zena: Origa, is something on your mind? You look dazed. Origa: Huh? Oh, er... Regina: She's been like this since this morning. Soooomebody didn't get enough sleep! Zena: Oh dear. Well, if something is troubling you, feel free to confer with me again. We are fellow Auspexes, after all. Origa: I...I will. Thank you. I see. In this world, I apparently consulted with people regarding the Progenitor. Thus, I did not worry over the matter alone. We swore to deal with the Progenitor together, and I did not desire Satan's return. Basileus: The Templars escorted the prince and his fellows to their vessel, and they have departed for the capital safely. Origa: Thank you for the report. Pinon: Basileus? It's time. We must get to the inspection as soon as possible. Michael: Little Pinon has been fidgeting about this all day, Basileus. To think she is finally able to work with the senior apostle she holds in such high regard! Pinon: You're the very model of an apostle, so I wish to learn as much as I can from you and become a full-fledged apostle in my own right as soon as possible! Basileus: That's the spirit—and in that case, I'll be sure to drill all my skills into you on-site. I hope you are ready for that. Origa: It's good to see you like this, Basileus. You look so...alive. Basileus: If so, I have you to thank for it. Origa: You do? Basileus: I became an apostle in order to gain revenge for the razing of my hometown, and you helped me achieve it. Basileus: Together, you and I discovered that Graht had a hand in countless misdeeds, and we succeeded in having him locked away. Basileus: With my revenge complete, I was lost— but then you came to me and said my strength was needed to clear a path toward the future. Basileus: Those words helped me find a reason to keep living, and I now dedicate myself to training the next generation of apostles. Origa: (In my original world, I got Basileus caught up in the plan to resurrect Satan.) Origa: (Without that having happened here, he did not betray the apostles. Instead, he lives now for the future alongside his friends and comrades.) Origa: Fie, but it is a relief... Regina: Honestly, you are terrible, Basileus! Capturing the heart of my dear little Origa. Regina: Still, I'm not above abusing my authority. If he makes you cry even once, I'm going to double his KP duty. Origa: N-now hold on! That's not... Regina: Ha! I kid, I kid—well, except for the part where I care about you. That's legit. Regina: When we reunited in the Curia, we kept a fair amount of distance from one another. But the prince realized we were sisters, and helped us smooth things over. Regina: So now we talk with each other just like we used to, and I cannot TELL you how happy it makes me! Origa: It makes me happy too, Regina. Origa: (In this world, I have friends I can consult with about the Progenitor.) Origa: (I managed to rebuild my relationship with Regina, and Basileus is able to live for the future. Everything appears to be ideal.) Origa: (And yet...) Origa: And yet my crimes remain unchanged, no matter which world they occurred in. Templar Captain: There's the corrupt Auspex! Origa: What's this?! Who are you?! Templar Captain: We are the true adherents of the Goddess's teachings come to lay down judgment for your wrongdoings! Origa: And what wrongdoings are those? Templar Captain: Church leadership has chosen to strip you of your status as pope and Auspex and have you put to the sword. Take her! Origa: What? Stop! Unhand me! Archbishop: This scandal shall be dealt with promptly and confidentially; we shall claim Origa was killed in an accident. Now, Captain! Put the blade of judgment to this heathen! Origa: No, stop! Please listen to me! Templar Captain: There's no point in trying to talk your way out of this. Though if you have any good still left in your wretched soul, you should repent your sins in these final moments. Origa: NOOOOOOOO! Regina: ...riga... Origa... Wake up, Origa. Regina: Well, look who's finally awake. Bit incautious of you to be dozing off while sitting on the throne, eh? Origa: Regina...? Wait, I'm in the Papal chamber? But why? Regina: Uh, because you're the pope and the Auspex? Where else would you be? Origa: But that's impossible! I was executed by the Templars! Regina: Bad dream, maybe? Because from here, you look to be very much alive. Origa: What...? Regina: You look terrible. Maybe you should go wash the sleep from your eyes. Regina: We're holding talks with Alberia regarding our alliance shortly; as the representative of Grams, we need you on your game. Origa: (What in the world is happening?!) Zena: Well met, Origa. It has been some time. I am delighted that we should come face- to-face for a meeting once more. Origa: Oh, er...yes. Likewise. Gala Prince: You have our great thanks for sending reinforcements during the decisive battle with the Empire. Because of that, we were able to secure peace in the south. Origa: (Everything I saw before now was a nightmare? But this conversation...) Zena: Origa, is something on your mind? You look dazed. Origa: Huh? Oh, er... Regina: She's been like this since this morning. Soooomebody didn't get enough sleep! Zena: Oh dear. Well, if something is troubling you, feel free to confer with me again. We are fellow Auspexes, after all. Origa: I...I will. Thank you. Origa: (I had the same conversations with Regina and Basilius, too. This is a re-creation of what happened in my dream!) Basileus: Those words helped me find a reason to keep living, and I now dedicate myself to training the next generation of apostles. Regina: So now we talk with each other just like we used to, and I cannot TELL you how happy it makes me! Origa: (Perhaps it was no dream, but a premonition? If so, what comes next...) Templar Captain: There's the corrupt Auspex! Archbishop: This scandal shall be dealt with promptly and confidentially; we shall claim Origa was killed in an accident. Now, Captain! Put the blade of judgment to this heathen! Origa: (This is the same as my dream! I'm going to be executed!) Origa: No, stop! Please listen to me! Templar Captain: There's no point in trying to talk your way out of this. Though if you have any good still left in your wretched soul, you should repent your sins in these final moments. Origa: NOOOOOOOO! Regina: ...riga... Origa... Wake up, Origa. Regina: Well, look who's finally awake. Bit incautious of you to be dozing off while sitting on the throne, eh? Origa: Regina... I... I... Regina: You look terrible. Maybe you should go wash the sleep from your eyes. Origa: (Were both of those executions dreams? If not, then...) This world is one in which I will relive my own death over and over without end. A thought flashed through the back of my mind— of a "singular, perfect world" in which I can do nothing to change my predetermined death— and a chill went up my spine... Episode 2 Fighting Fate Loop Three Regina: You look terrible. Maybe you should go wash the sleep from your eyes. Origa: ...Yes, thank you, Regina. I should go clear my head. Origa: (I've been executed twice. If those were real events, it can only mean I'm repeating that same period of time over and over again.) Origa: But I've never heard of a world that is simply an unending time loop...) Regina: You okay, Origa? The prince and the others will be arriving shortly, you know. Origa: ...I'm fine. I'll be right there. Regina: So now we talk with each other just like we used to, and I cannot TELL you how happy it makes me! Origa: It makes me happy too, Regina. Origa: (This conversation is going the same way as before. It would seem I am correct about this world being in a loop.) Origa: (It is similar in that my death is destined, but this is different from the singular perfect world I once saw.) Origa: (As this is not a world under the control of the Progenitor, there should be some possibility of my breaking free and surviving the loop.) Origa: (I cannot abide the idea of doing nothing and dying. I must resist my fate!) Origa: Before, they would seize me while I was in my room. So in that case... Templar Captain: The corrupt Auspex isn't here! She must have caught wind of our plan and fled! Origa: I've arrived at the slums by the outer wall. Just a little farther to the gate now. Templar: There she is! Origa: No! Not when I have come so far! After that I was captured, imprisoned, and put to death once more—only to again reawaken on the throne. The countdown to despair begins anew. Nonetheless, I... Origa: (If I don't do something about this, I'll just be executed again. If I don't resist, I have no chance of survival!) I tried again and again to escape the Templars. But no matter how I altered my escape route, they found and executed me. Eventually, I came to realize flight was not a viable option. Loop Nine Regina: You look terrible. Maybe you should go wash the sleep from your eyes. Origa: Regina, I am going to die. Regina: Uh, sorry. What? Origa: (As it would be difficult for one not experiencing it to believe the world is looping, I mix truth and fiction...) Origa: I, er, saw something with my Auspex power while communing with another world—one very similar to this one. Regina: What?! Origa: In that world, I was named as corrupt and executed by the Templars—and now the same thing is about to happen here. Regina: Hmm... Well, in theory, it wouldn't be odd for there to be another world whose events were nearly the same as our own. Regina: And there's a non-zero chance that things which occurred in that world could also happen here. But that said... Origa: I know what I say sounds outrageous, but I truly fear for my life. Origa: Please, Regina. You must believe me. Regina: I do. Now tell me everything you know. After hearing what I had to say, Regina ordered the apostles to investigate. And after our meeting with the prince, they returned with information. Nevin: Bingo, Regina! We caught a Templar who was up to some shady business and made him squeal! ...Er, metaphorically. Basileus: According to him, a certain set of Templars and priests believe you smuggled weapons and killed people in some experiment. Origa: Ah, that was one of Graht's misdeeds. Faris: It seems many of his numerous crimes are now being laid at your feet, Auspex. Pinon: Conversely, Graht is now being judged as a tragic figure who was wrongly framed and maligned by you. Ryszarda: When we looked into Graht, we learned he'd been released in secret—evidently the warden of the prison found his palms suitably greased. Regina: But while imprisoned, Graht managed to convince the Templars and priests that you were the true culprit behind the weapon smuggling. Regina: Once the bribe was passed, he was released from prison and began inciting his supporters to execute you. Basileus: Having seen my village burn, I hold no doubt as to the true villain responsible. Origa: We will get nowhere trying to convince the Templars of my innocence. Instead, we must do something about the criminal at the source of the rumors. Ramiel: Nevin: Well, he wouldn't be able to discuss a plan to execute the Auspex anywhere on Church grounds, but we think we know where he scurried off to. Faris: His sympathizers are working out their plot at an abandoned residence in the slums. Several of them are on standby there now in case the Auspex flees. Pinon: As far as the public knows, Graht hasn't been released—so if his sympathizers are hiding him, it's going to be there. Regina: Our plan is to launch a surprise attack on the residence and take him into custody. Regina: We'll expose his plot and ensure he never sees the outside of a cell again. Basileus: Origa should come with us; it's unclear at present how many people in the Church are among his supporters. Origa: Understood. In that case... Templar: Apostles! Angels! Have you no shame, to be colluding with a corrupt Auspex?! Raphael: You are all of you deceived! Open your eyes! Ramiel: Enough. Where in this abandoned house can we find the mastermind, Graht?  ???: Mastermind? How positively scandalous! I simply mean to protect our Church from the malfeasance of this corrupt Auspex. Origa: Are you simply seeking revenge for being put in prison, Graht?! Or do you have designs on the title of pope itself?! Graht: This is but legitimate justice—though of course, someone such as myself WILL have to take up the position... Basileus: As if burning my village wasn't enough, you now seek to harm the Auspex! Your deeds warrant death. Graht: That's quite the aggressive assertion. But tell me, did you really think I was not anticipating your little attack? Gabriel: Nnngh... My strength...is leaving me! Pinon: Aaah! The mana inside me is running wild! Origa: What have you done to them?! Graht: I placed a powerful barrier over this place when I arrived—something made to deal with apostles and angels. Graht: It forces the considerable mana of the angels to flow into their apostles. The angel loses its mana, while the apostle suffers under the strain. Brilliant! Graht: And with that, the time has come for your judgment, my dear corrupted Auspex. Origa: I was clearly right to turn to them for aid. Graht: And who might "them" be? Gala Prince: Sorry to keep you waiting! Graht: Bah! What are all of YOU doing here?! Origa: I broached the matter of my impending murder during our discussions. Basileus: Origa should come with us; it's unclear at present how many people in the Church are among his supporters. Origa: Understood. In that case, you all should act as though you're returning to Alberia to avoid arousing the Church's suspicion. Gala Prince: And once the Templars aren't looking, we turn around and make for the slums. Origa: Graht is a cunning man, so there may be some kind of trap. It will be best to stagger our arrivals just in case. Nevin: Here's a map of the city. It was made for sightseeing, but it should suffice to find your way to their position in the slums. Zena: We shall let no harm come to you, Origa. I swear it. Graht: Damn you and your trickery! Origa: The tables have turned, Graht. Do you still intend to resist? Basileus: Pinon and the others escorted Graht back to Church headquarters, where he now faces execution for his treachery. Zena: Yet we still lack solid proof of Pope Origa's innocence, do we not? Regina: Actually, we did find something: her supposed plan to smuggle weapons was located in Graht's hideout. Regina: It's clearly a fabrication whipped up by Graht and his co-conspirators. Basileus: The document was affixed with the Pope's seal. Graht likely used the seal in secret to lend authenticity to the text. Origa: I used to have Graht write documents on my behalf. He mostlike used it then. Basileus: It seems he had been planning to pin his crimes on Origa and steal the papal seat long before his misdeeds came to light. Regina: It's not unusual for even a wary person to unconditionally believe lies when they're said with the backing of authority. Regina: The lie combined with the papal seal made his sympathizers believe that the document was authentic. Basileus: As such, they didn't think to consider whether it was really her handwriting. Basileus: Because while it LOOKS like her hand, if they had had the document appraised, they would have learned the truth immediately. Gala Prince: And with such truth now in the open, it should eliminate the threat to your life. Origa: Thank you all so much. Origa: (The Graht of this world is no more. I have freed myself from the death loop.) Regina: It will likely be a few days before we can fight at our best due to lingering effects from the barrier, so maybe you and I can take an overdue sisterly vacation. Assassin: Or perhaps you can die on our envenomed claws instead! Origa: Regina? REGINAAAA! Basileus: Who the blazes are you people?! Assassin: Oh, think of us as emissaries of those who despise the Northern Church. That should make our identity clear enough. Gala Prince: Those who hate the Church... Wait, are you people targeting Origa, too?! Assassin: Yes, and if you don't resist, we'll ensure your ends are painless—just like the girl lying dead in front of you. Origa: REGINAAAA! Basileus: I may not be at my best, but we won't let you do this! To arms, everyone! Gala Prince: I'll help! Zena, take Origa and run! Zena: Hurry, Auspex! This way! Zena: Enemies have infiltrated this path too! Let's make for the underground waterway! Origa: (Regina never died in any of the loops before! It must have been because of me!) Zena: ...riga... ...riga! Come on, Origa! Origa: Ze-Zena... Zena: I understand your pain, truly I do. But we cannot abandon ourselves to grief just yet. Zena: Think of the people who would grieve for you if you perished now. My brother, Basileus...and also Regina. Origa: ...You're right. I must keep looking forward for Regina. Origa: Fie, but this way is complex... Are we on the correct path? Zena: There's an exit just ahead. From there, we can escape Grams and— Assassin: FINALLY! I am SO tired of waiting for you people! Also did you really not think we looked around beforehand to find all of your little rat tunnels? Origa: But how could you have gotten here before us?! Basileus and the others should have stopped you! Assassin: Basileus...? Oh, you must mean the fellow who used to own this! Origa: That's his coat—and it's covered in blood! Assassin: Yeah, guy couldn't get his strength up 'cause of that barrier or whatever. Good thing too, because he probably would have taken us out otherwise. Zena: And...my brother? Female Assassin: Him? Oh, he's deader than a doornail. But don't cry, 'cause so are you! Origa: Zena! Assassin: And then there was one. Oh, but don't worry—you can all have a nice little family reunion...IN HELL! Origa: Everyone died...? Is this because they tried to help me? Did I get them caught up in all this? Origa: NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Episode 3 Death Never-Ending Loop 10 Regina: Well, look who's finally awake. Bit incautious of you to be dozing off while sitting on the throne, eh? Origa: Regina... Regina: Wait, are you CRYING? Sheesh, that must have been one whopper of a nightmare. Origa: Apologies. I feel...unwell. Origa: I intend to rest in my room today. Please give my apologies to the prince and his retinue. Regina: Origa? Hey, Origa! Despite stopping Graht's plot to see me executed, I was fated to face a different death—one where many friends and loved ones also lost their lives because I involved them in my scheme. And even if I stop the assassins, still another death no doubt waits in the shadows—one that might also claim Regina and the others along with me. Origa: (I knew I'd only wallow in my misery if I stayed in my room, so I snuck out to wander the city.) Origa: (Ah, how brilliant it is to see everyone here living life on their own terms.) Origa: (Their lives are such because they have the possibility to obtain happiness for themselves. I wished to safeguard that about all else, and yet...) Origa: The power of an Auspex can control Satan, but it requires so much sacrifice. Loki: Still, that's a trivial matter compared to the threat of the Progenitor, mmm? Loki: As is also the way in Ilia's teachings, lives are lost, return to mana, travel the world, and are reborn anew. Loki: But in the world the Progenitor would create, the circulation of mana would be controlled, and the form it would take after being reborn predetermined. Loki: Worst case, reincarnation might no longer be permitted, and none would be able to oppose or change their own misfortune. Origa: (That is why I desired Satan's return, even at the cost of my life. But the notion of it being possible to control the Demonlord was but a poisoned lie from Loki's lips.) Origa: (So in the end, I took lives; so many lights snuffed out without meaning. The weight of this sin is incalculable, which is why...) Origa: Being forced to keep reliving my death may well be my punishment—and perhaps an eternity of suffering is what I deserve. Girl: 'Scuse me, ma'am. Have you seen a black-and-white kitty cat? Origa: A black-and-white cat? Apologies, but I have not. Girl: Oh. Okay. I guess he went to that other place after all... Girl: But they said little kids can't go in there and Mom is at work, sooooo...yeah. I dunno what to do. Origa: This cat is important to you? Girl: Oh, Sir Purrs-a-Lot is family to me! That's why I'm so worried... *sniff* Origa: Well then, why don't I help you look? Show me where you think he is. Girl: You don't mind?! Origa: It is a more meaningful use of my time than waiting for my inevitable death. Girl: I think Sir Purrs-a-Lot sometimes comes here to play. Origa: There's another entrance to the underground waterway here... I had no idea. Girl: Grown-ups say the waterway is super old and not used anymore so it's not on maps. Girl: They said, 'cause nobody knows this place, if I got lost in here, nobody might ever find me. Origa: Oh dear... I hear meowing from inside. Girl: SIR PURRS-A-LOT! NOOOOO! Origa: He's barely clinging to the garbage that accumulated on the water tank. He looks like he's about to fall in. Girl: What are we gonna dooooo?! I don't know how to swiiiim! Origa: Nor do I—but leave it to me. Origa: O waters settled in the deep reaches! Become form and lift this innocent creature 'neath the light of the sun! Girl: He's in a bubble! Origa: That was very scary, but it's all right now. Grasp him tight now! Don't let him escape all over again. Girl: Aw, you did it! Thank you, ma'am! Origa: You're quite welcome. Now let's head back to the surface. Girl: That magic you used earlier was amazing. ma'am! How did you learn to do that? Origa: I learned many kinds of magic as part of my Auspex training, and turned out to have a special affinity for water magic. Origa: I'd little opportunity to use it since ascending to my current position, so this was a bit of a welcome surprise. Girl: Y-you're the AUSPEX? Oh wow... I've never seen the Auspex before. Origa: Normally the Auspex stays in the Curia and doesn't make public appearances. Girl: I wanna be an Auspex too! Origa: Being an Auspex is not something you ought to admire; in the end, the Church is no more than a tool for ruling the people— and I am the worst among them. Origa: My own weakness led me to desire a demon's return at the cost of many lives. Origa: Oh, but what am I doing speaking to a child about such things?! Girl: I don't really get what you're talking about. Girl: But I think you're GREAT! I mean, it's your job to wish for people to be happy, right? Girl: Mom says everyone is always so worried about what they have to do that they can't wish for other people to be happy. Girl: But you DO wish for that! You must be super nice and amazing! Origa: I fear your praise is misplaced. All I do is make people sad. Girl: Nuh-uh! You made me and Sir Purrs-a-Lot SUPER happy today! Girl: And I'm sure you'll help lots more people in the future, 'cause you're the Auspex! Origa: I wonder what does lie in store for me? Origa: (I remember what Basileus said just before I was sealed away...) Basileus: So let us live together and atone for all the harm we have done. Origa: (I tried to accept the fact that experiencing a fated death over and over was some kind of just punishment...) Origa: (But I'm certain Regina is desperately trying to bring me back to my own world.) Origa: (And not just her. Because of me, so many people who lost someone important are yet filled with grief.) Origa: (Dying over and over again in this world is the same as doing nothing—I must return to my own and make amends.) Girl: Um, is something wrong? Origa: I just realized something important because of you. Thank you. Girl: Uh, you're welcome? Hee hee! Origa: It's almost sundown. Once the sun sets, we won't be able to see the light coming from the entrance. Girl: Oh, yeah. We could get lost easy once it's dark! Origa: And that wouldn't be good at all, would it? Even the people of Grams are mostly unfamiliar with the waterways, after all. Origa: (Wait a moment. Is something off about that? Am I overthinking things, or...?) Girl: Ma'am? We really need to go. Origa: (At the moment, I have no idea how to escape the death loop.) Origa: (But perhaps the answer—or a path to it— lies in the strange feeling I just had.) Origa: (And as I have no other leads now, I might as well probe into that.) Episode 4 Turning the Tides Regina: You feeling better, Origa? Origa: Yes, and my apologies for the trouble. Have the prince and his companions already returned? Regina: Yep. They were worried when they heard you were laid up in bed. Origa: I see. Er, but now that you are here, perhaps you can answer a question... Origa: Have Euden and the others ever visited the slums? Regina: The slums? No, never. Regina: The Church dictates where visiting heads of state can go, and they'd never let them travel to this city's shameful underbelly. Regina: They've deliberately left the district to its own devices in order to strengthen their own Canon system. Origa: So the people there have no contact with Euden at all? Regina: Nope. Believe me, the Templars keep a close eye on state guests to ensure they don't go near the place. Origa: (When we were escaping the assassins, Zena chose the underground waterway for an escape route.) Zena: Enemies have infiltrated this path too! Let's make for the underground waterway! Origa: (How did Zena know about that waterway if she never spoke to anyone from the slums?) Nevin: Here's a map of the city. It was made for sightseeing, but it should suffice to find your way to their position in the slums. Girl: Grown-ups say the waterway is super old and not used anymore so it's not on maps. Origa: (Zena must have obtained her information about the escape route some other way.) Origa: Regina, there is a matter I would like you to look into. Origa: (In my world, when the prince and his friends first came to Grams, I attempted to have him captured.) Origa: (The Templars I sent after them claimed they escaped through the underground waterway after Gatov guided them there.) Origa: (Gatov was a close friend of King Aurelius, and apparently sent letters to Alberia.) Regina: I spoke with Gatov as you ordered. Regina: The man claims he never sent any letters to Euden. Gatov: I promised Aurelius I would tell his son something, but the time for it is not now. Gatov: He has only just started to govern Alberia as a new king, and I want to avoid doing anything that might sow disorder. Origa: (Hmm... Well, it seems they didn't learn about the waterway from Gatov.) Origa: (So how did Zena know about it?!) Origa: (What am I to make of all this...?) Regina: Those frown lines are going to freeze on your face if you don't relax, Origa. Regina: Here, why don't we play chess to take your mind off your troubles? Origa: Thank you, but no. I have never been a match for your talents, as you well know. Regina: Well, it might be different now. But if you want, I can make it a little easier for you like I used to do. Origa: And how did you do that, exactly? Regina: I let one of your pieces make special moves that weren't exactly in the rulebook. Origa: Ah, yes. I do remember that now— but I also recall something else... Origa: You used to say that the world is a chessboard and we are the pieces. Regina: Each piece has its own characteristics and acts based on them. And much as in life, you think about how someone will move, then plan your strategy accordingly. Origa: Definitely a metaphor I would expect from you, Reg... Oh! Of course! Origa: (The world is a chessboard, and some pieces are allowed to use special moves that make it easier to win...) Origa: (There's no opportunity for Zena to learn about the waterway in THIS world, but she knows about it in our original one.) Origa: (But suppose she were a special piece— one who could obtain knowledge from my own world to achieve an objective. If so, it means this world is...) Templar Captain: There's the corrupt Auspex! Regina: Huh?! What is the meaning of this?! Origa: Stand down, Regina. I'm not going to run. Templar Captain: How unexpectedly forthright of you. In that case, come with us at once. Regina: What's going on, Origa?! Origa: Don't worry, Regina. It will be over soon. Origa: And when it is, you and I should play chess together like we used to. Archbishop: This scandal shall be dealt with promptly and confidentially; we shall claim Origa was killed in an accident. Now, Captain! Put the blade of judgment to this heathen! Origa: (If I am correct, this world is controlled by a mastermind who exists outside the chessboard.) Origa: (Said mastermind seeks to fill me with despair by making me experience the pain and fear of death over and over again.) Origa: (I don't know what their objective is, but the more I struggle, the more they change tack to try and pin me down.) Origa: (So I must show them they cannot break my spirit, no matter how many times I have to experience my death.) Origa: (If I do so, the mastermind will run out of patience and take action.) Origa: (And that will be my chance to free myself from this hellish world.) Templar Captain: If you have any good still left in your wretched soul, you should repent your sins in these final moments. From that moment on, I did nothing but wait calmly for my death. Wake on the throne. Meet with the prince. Talk to Regina. Be captured and executed. This pattern repeated itself over and over again. Archbishop: This scandal shall be dealt with promptly and confidentially; we shall claim Origa was killed in an accident. Now, Captain! Put the blade of judgment to this heathen! Templar Captain: If you have any good still left in your wretched soul, you should repent your sins in these final moments. No matter how many times I experienced it, I still could not grow used to the pain and fear. Nonetheless, I quietly accepted the blade that spelled my end each and every time. I did so in order to prove I won't yield to despair, no matter how many times I am fated to die. Loop 44 Archbishop: This scandal shall be dealt with promptly and confidentially; we shall claim Origa was killed in an accident. Now, Captain! Put the blade of judgment to this heathen! Origa: (If this goes as all the others, the Templar captain will execute me and a new loop will begin.) Origa: (But I still refuse to give in to despair; I will not give my tormentor the pleasure.) Templar Captain: Archbishop, perhaps we ought to delay the Auspex's execution. Origa: ! Archbishop: What do you mean? Templar Captain: I was merely thinking that she must first realize the true weight of her crimes. Archbishop: Yes, I see. In that case, let us place her back in prison and give her a chance to reflect on the evil she has done. Origa: ...The mastermind finally tires of waiting. Templar Captain: What? Origa: They allow me to have a little hope by extending the time until my execution, hoping I might think myself forgiven if I merely show remorse. Origa: And when they execute me after that, it will crush whatever faint hope I have into the depths of despair. Templar Captain: What the blazes are you prattling on about?! Origa: I am not talking to you people—I speak to the mastermind who controls this world. In truth, I suspect the lot of you know nothing whatsoever about it. Origa: Because you are merely chess pieces being moved about the board by an invisible hand. Archbishop: Chess pieces...? Origa: This is another world—one born of the possibility presented if Grams and Alberia were to have had a good relationship. But this world is false. Origa: By showing me an ideal world and then making me experience the pain and fear of death, the mastermind hopes to plunge me into a state of despair. Origa: This world is a fabrication based on my own world and created by the mastermind. Origa: Everyone here is a piece on a board set up in a way that suits this world, and the mastermind moves them. Origa: But he does so in accordance with my actions in the hopes I will never realize this is a fabrication. Origa: After subjecting me to the pain of death, they reset the board and do again. THAT is the truth behind the time loop. Origa: I imagine the inconsistency with Zena is simply due to the mastermind finding it more convenient for her to know about the waterway. Origa: Because that would allow me to experience the relief of escape before being shoved back down into despair. Templar Captains: ...... Origa: In trying to follow all of the things happening, I never questioned the fundamental problem here. But now, I know exactly who is responsible. Origa: In truth, I should have noticed the first time I woke up. For I am your shackle, and could never move freely to begin with. Origa: No matter how many times you make me live my death, it is no use—for I will never give in to despair! Origa: So why not show yourself...Satan?  ???: Well then! It would appear there is no longer any reason to hide my presence. Episode 5 A Chance at Victory
