[image]https://media.artix.com/encyc/df/banners/Tkaanie.png[/image] The End of the Beginning Location: Tkaanie -> The First Weaver -> The End of the Beginning Requirements: Completion of The Beginning of the End Release Date: April 23rd, 2016 Objective: The end of Roirr's journey... or maybe the beginning? Objective completed: The End...? Experience rewarded: 0 Gold rewarded: 0 Monsters None NPCs ??? Local boy Roirr Tanislav / Miserable man Vaal Rewards Memory Fragment VII Dialogue The skeletal Roirr falls through an orange realm through the hole Secundus opened earlier; he then lands in an alleyway on a quiet village with brown yellow houses and orange-red rooftops; he is still in agony due to the forbidden magic that Danyel used earlier. Roirr: Hgaaaaaaa... Roirr: ... hgaaaaaaa... Vaal appears next to Roirr's skeleton, curious about their surroundings. Vaal: Where are we? Roirr: I... don't... care... Roirr: This... this is it. Roirr: This is... the end. Roirr: He lied... to... me. Roirr: Immortality... Vaal flickers, much to his shock, knowing what may become of him. Vaal: Oh no... I'm- Roirr: The end... Vaal: Stop wallowing! Let me think! I'm not gonna let you die in this dump. Vaal: What is this place? Why did Secundus send you here? Roirr: To... dieee... Vaal: Hush! Someone is coming! Vaal: Cover yourself! Vaal: That! Vaal: Cover yourself with that! A young boy enters the scene as a sound of someone covering can be heard. Local boy: Oh... Local boy: Hello? The boy sees someone wearing a black cloak; this is none other than Roirr's skeleton. Vaal: Can you... can you jump bodies? Vaal: Do it now! The boy is about to see Roirr's skeleton. Local boy: Umm... are you- are you hurt? Roirr's skeletal face comes from the black cloak, causing the boy to scream and run away. Vaal: Nooo! Come back!!! Roirr: ... I'm too weak... to... Vaal: He'll go get someone. Vaal: You need to run. Roirr: I can't... Vaal: Then crawl away! Vaal: We- You need to find a place to hide! And I... need to think... Roirr crawls with his remaining strength out of sight; he leans on a barrel seconds later. Local boy: I'm telling you! It was a demon, it was! Draped in a shawl as black as the night itself! Vaal: ......... Vaal: What... what will you do now... ? Roirr: I don't knooow. Roirr: I... I don't care anymore... Roirr: I'm... tired. Roirr: I'm so tired... Roirr: All of this... all of what I've done was for naught. Roirr: Secundus' advice, his guidance, all of my research... useless. Roirr: What am I to do now? My entire life is... wasted. I am... Roirr: This isn't... fair. Roirr: Life isn't fair!!! ???: Tell me about it... A man with brown, but near-orange hair sits on the opposite end of the barrel; he is wearing the exact crown Roirr wore years ago. Miserable man: I can't run this settlement. People turn to me yet I can't provide. I'm very certain my wife is cheating on me... Miserable man: On top of that my only son is dying and I can't do anything about it. I've tried, time after time, yet there is no way I can help him... Roirr: ... it seems you can't escape death after all... no matter how hard you try... Roirr: Believe me, I've tried... Miserable man: ....... Vaal: ......... A revelation suddenly strikes Vaal. Vaal: ... are we... in...? Vaal: Roirr... Vaal: Save his son. Roirr: ...why would I do that... Miserable man: Hmm? Vaal: You, umm... Vaal flickers again as Roirr is dying. Vaal: You are dying. There is no point in denying that. Vaal: Can't you do... one last thing I ask of you, before yo- before we go? Roirr: ........ Vaal: Oh! Vaal: You owe me. I kept you alive when those two almost killed you! Roirr: ... you don't know if that was you... Miserable man: Wha-? Speak up. Vaal: Of course it was me! Vaal: Soooo? Roirr: ... ugh... Roirr: Hey... you... Miserable man: What is it? Roirr: I can save your son. Miserable man: No, you can't. There is nothing that you can offer that I didn't already try. Roirr: Forbidden magick. The miserable man is interested by Roirr's words of forbidden magick. Miserable man: What is that? Roirr: Listen... do you want my help or... not? Miserable man: Yes, I do. Roirr: You need t- Vaal: No no no! Vaal: ... write it down for him. Roirr: ... fetch me a sheet of paper and something to write. Sometime later, Roirr writes down the instructions to a forbidden magick from the man's paper; it is now wrapped in the shape of a scroll. Roirr: Here... take it... Miserable man: T-thank you. Will this really help? Roirr: Yes... your son will have a long life ahead of him. Vaal makes a whispering gesture as the miserable man leaves. Roirr: There... are you happy? Vaal: We will see, Roirr. Vaal: We will see. Scene fades to black, before fading back in; meanwhile, in a cabin, the man tends to his pale son, a younger Roirr; this reveals that the miserable man is none other than Tanislav and the village that Vaal and Roirr are in is none other than Mortem from the distant past. Tanislav: My sweet marzipan, everything is going to be alright now. Time for a lullaby... Tanislav: I will fix you… Back in the alleyway that Vaal and Roirr are in, they are now waiting for death or Tanislav to activate the forbidden magick. Roirr: It's not long now... I can feel it. Roirr: I'm fading. Roirr: I'm dying. Roirr: All I've ever wanted... gone. Vaal: Roirr... I'm not understanding one thing. All your life you've wanted to achieve immortality and yet... you are a weaver. Vaal: When weavers die, they become elemental spirits. Immortal elemental spirits. Vaal: Why- Roirr: I can't. Roirr: I can't become an elemental spirit. I have devoured too many of them. I have used too many forbidden spells. Roirr: My soul is too... tainted. Roirr: Besides... I wouldn't want to become an elemental spirit. I want to be immortal on my terms... in a physical body. Roirr: I don't want to be dead and immortal... Roirr: I want to be alive and immortal... Roirr: You wouldn't understand... Vaal: Hold on... does that mean I won't- Roirr: Haaaahahaaaha... no, you won't. When I die, you die. Roirr: We cease to exist... together. Vaal closes his eyes briefly before smiling at Roirr. Vaal: Or we keep on "living"... Vaal: ...together! Vaal and Roirr's surroundings turn red, which stuns Roirr briefly. Roirr: Wha- Roirr: What?! Roirr: NO!!! Roirr removes his black cloak as he observes what is happening. Roirr: Not like this!!! Roirr: He did not- Vaal: Oh, I think he did. Roirr: No! Roirr: I need... Vaal: You are not going anywhere. Vaal grabs Roirr's ribcage, stopping him from moving. Vaal: Stay! Roirr: Stop it! Do you realize what is about to happen?! Roirr: Release me!!! Vaal: Oh, I know! Vaal: Roirr... for someone as clever as you, didn't you realize where we are? When we are?! Vaal: Your little spirit friend knew what he was doing! Roirr: Let me go!!! Roirr: I DON'T WANT TO BECOME AN ELEMENTAL SPIRIT!!! Vaal moves closer to Roirr's skeletal face and says... Vaal: But I do. Scene cuts to a pair of purple curtains opening to present a sketched puppet-like reenactment of Roirr's childhood and Tanislav performing his infamous ritual on Mortem for the first time, saving his child's life; a soothing, poetic tune accompanies the reenactment; as soon as it ends, Secundus appears on Mortem as a result from Tanislav's Last Will. ???: Wha- Secundus looks at his surroundings. ???: I am... ???: We are... ???: Vaal... Roirr: Mama? Roirr: P-papa? ???: Roirr... Scene fades to black as it is revealed that Secundus is an amalgamation of Roirr and Vaal and that Roirr's journey was none other than a loop. ???
