[SPEAKER_01]: Outrages creation's media presents hidden anecdotes and other tales created by GM Stupyovsky.
[SPEAKER_01]: Other tales after math.
[SPEAKER_01]: The battle is over.
[SPEAKER_01]: There is no victor.
[SPEAKER_01]: A topahill overlooking the bloodbath, two people stand watching as soldiers and civilians drag bodies away.
[SPEAKER_01]: One of them is a giant, the other, a soldier of some renown.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good afternoon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Good afternoon.
[SPEAKER_00]: Good afternoon.
[SPEAKER_00]: Needless death.
[SPEAKER_03]: We lost a lot of good people, that's for sure.
[SPEAKER_00]: Both sides did.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was them or us.
[SPEAKER_00]: Or, nobody.
[SPEAKER_03]: That wasn't an option.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is always an option.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is simply an option people choose rarely to take.
[SPEAKER_03]: They intended to slaughter us.
[SPEAKER_03]: We did what we had to.
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Or were you already aggressors, forcing their hand in this game of domination?
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't help me as sympathizing with the enemy now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no enemies.
[SPEAKER_00]: Only misunderstood acquaintances.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't understand your meaning.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is ridiculous to say one side is right while another is wrong.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is discrediting the nuance of the universe.
[SPEAKER_03]: And what do you have to say to the children of the fully-based slaughtered out of convenience?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are the farmers and orchidists at Illinois starving to death deprived of their own food?
[SPEAKER_03]: You think there is justification in a number of armored mounts that were butchered in the cold air of Everlight to feed soldiers who carried on their abominable crusade?
[SPEAKER_00]: And what of the choices you made?
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell me, who was the first to draw swords?
[SPEAKER_03]: Her actions were justified.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a retaliation against the cruelty, against the righteous indication.
[SPEAKER_00]: And yet she fired the first shot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those bodies over there, they are from both sides.
[SPEAKER_00]: You listened to your side and they listened to theirs.
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened here was nothing more than strength, determination, and a healthy dose of luck.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're calling yourself luck now.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was simply tired of the violence and wanted it to end.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so you chose a side.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was simply a demonstration.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those caught in the crossfire were not chosen specifically.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you are nothing more than a hypocrite than.
[SPEAKER_00]: Explain your reasoning.
[SPEAKER_03]: You call our killing whantless when you, yourself, carry out such actions, regardless of guilt or innocence.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_00]: I never claim to be the right-name idea of perfection.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I... I am simply an advocate.
[UNKNOWN]: Heh.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're not doing a very good job then.
[SPEAKER_00]: We're to size me as much as you like, but I don't actually believe the original philosopher would take umbridge with my actions.
[SPEAKER_00]: They would want nothing more than to discuss my rationale.
[SPEAKER_03]: You seem confident.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am.
[SPEAKER_01]: The soldier is approached by a squire, leading a bipedal feathered mount, which is roughly the size of the giant.
[SPEAKER_01]: The soldier in squire was precisely to one another, almost indistinguishable.
[SPEAKER_01]: The soldier looks out to the sun, setting over the northern horizon.
[SPEAKER_01]: He lets the Mount Sniff him before he grapples his foot into the stirrup and ascends into the seed of the sapper.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would have you meet with my general, but it would seem we are short on time.
[SPEAKER_00]: The blow he took did not seem so grave.
[SPEAKER_03]: It would seem he is weaker than we believed.
[SPEAKER_02]: That or some poison that the healers cannot detect.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did see an arrow pierces thy, though I'd be remiss to leave out the fact that the arrow was the same type as the ones in your quiver.
[SPEAKER_03]: All of our soldiers had these arrows, and misfires do happen all the time.
[SPEAKER_00]: I suppose.
[SPEAKER_00]: I may be able to heal him.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you have done more than enough.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am quite capable.
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless you have forgotten.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is quite all right.
[SPEAKER_03]: If our best healers cannot save him, no one can.
[SPEAKER_00]: You stand to gain from his demise.
[SPEAKER_03]: What a heinous accusation!
[SPEAKER_03]: I have nothing but admiration for the general, and would never wish harm upon him.
[SPEAKER_00]: I almost believe you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll keep practicing before I inform my king.
[SPEAKER_00]: The more you practice, the less genuine it will sound.
[SPEAKER_03]: I suppose.
[SPEAKER_03]: But then, how do you explain great suspicions who stand at top stages and recants the lilyquies in measured time, delivering emotional the same, are these not rehearsed lies, prepared words?
[SPEAKER_00]: That is a different kind of lie, a fabrication for the sake of entertainment.
[SPEAKER_03]: Trust me, they're not always that entertaining.
[SPEAKER_00]: You must be very popular at gatherings.
[SPEAKER_03]: The most!
[SPEAKER_03]: Nobody's as popular as me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm the life of every party.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm, yes.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, when your general jokes on his own blood and his eyes filled with tears, as he wishes for relief from this mortal plain, you will sit there, watching to ensure his breath ceases.
[SPEAKER_03]: His was an inconsequential reign, there will be more.
[SPEAKER_03]: There are no guarantees I receive the position, and if I do, there are no guarantees that I will live long enough to make an impact.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you would continue this game despite recognizing the consequence.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is you, here and now, who has the power to change the flow of the stream, save your general, show not loyalty but empathy and work with him instead of searching for a way to use our pen.
[SPEAKER_03]: Why should I be the one to make change occur when none have done so before me?
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you suffer?
[SPEAKER_00]: You know the pain?
[SPEAKER_03]: I do.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why would you wish that upon another?
[SPEAKER_00]: I... Don't.
[SPEAKER_00]: 15,700 and 40.
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: I get the point.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you?
[SPEAKER_00]: Or are you just tired of me pointing out your hypocrisy?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not a hypocrite.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would agree to disagree.
[SPEAKER_00]: Typically, however, in this instance... Okay fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: What would you have me do?
[SPEAKER_00]: I would have you follow your instincts.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not your survival instincts, but... the ones that come from your heart.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_00]: You will.
[SPEAKER_00]: It might just take time.
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's something you can do to start.
[SPEAKER_01]: The giant points to a nearby hill were a white flag waves atop the large war tent.
[SPEAKER_03]: I suppose there's something to be said for compassion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Though when was the last time he showed compassion for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Should that matter?
[SPEAKER_03]: It shouldn't.
[SPEAKER_03]: Though he would do the same to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: survivalist instinct.
[SPEAKER_00]: Were you two instead care for him this time to try and save him?
[SPEAKER_00]: Not let his soul wander into the grace unknown.
[SPEAKER_03]: Suppose you're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: How does one soldier change the world?
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't.
[SPEAKER_00]: The soldier changes
[SPEAKER_00]: Those through society until that change is made.
[SPEAKER_00]: Change cannot be funuous or swift.
[SPEAKER_00]: Those who attempt to effort change quickly are often hiding something.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, where's next for you, I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: I go where the tides of the Great of City and Sea take me.
[SPEAKER_03]: What's it like?
[SPEAKER_00]: And dark.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the steerings.
[SPEAKER_00]: Terrifying.
[SPEAKER_00]: But also winsicle.
[SPEAKER_00]: There is a strange nearly imperceptible sense of humor to the universe.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is almost like a person at times.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll have to go someday.
[SPEAKER_03]: Since you arrived, and I learned there was something else.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be on the sky.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have desired to see it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is not as you would want it to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: The... Obsidian Sea is an expanse.
[SPEAKER_00]: forever is not just a word.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not easily disappointed.
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't stop you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Then again, I have so little time here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Must be nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: What, to have so little time?
[SPEAKER_00]: You have something to live for.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_00]: You live your life knowing it will end.
[SPEAKER_00]: You strive to accomplish
[SPEAKER_03]: Just criticize me for killing.
[SPEAKER_00]: I never criticized you for killing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Only for justifying.
[SPEAKER_02]: You confuse me sometimes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Though, I probably confuse you.
[SPEAKER_00]: It takes a lot to confuse me.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no more room for surprises.
[SPEAKER_03]: I bet you'll regret saying that someday.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you'd lived one-one millionth of the life I have, you would understand.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: I should be going.
[SPEAKER_00]: Until we meet again, Varus.
[SPEAKER_03]: Will we meet again?
[SPEAKER_00]: Not in this lifetime, but I'm sure your soul will cross my path again someday.
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, I'm counting on you.
[SPEAKER_01]: The soldier steps into the tent, followed closely by the giant, who holds his hand over his scarred chest.
