Intro

Keridra

To inscribe one final law, they demanded the sacrifice of a demigod's life - one of the Golden Offspring.

Hisilens

...!! That's unacceptable. What you're doing now is nothing but tyranny.

Keridra

So? Does that make me a tyrant?

Hisilens

....

Keridra

Look at what I've accomplished. I simply fulfilled my duty as a sovereign.

Keridra

...I have one final command for you.

Hisilens

....What...?

Keridra

Run your blade through my heart.

Hisilens

......

 

The sound of waves crashed against the shore, cool and eternal. How do you want history to remember you? As a tyrant? A hero? [Her answer came without hesitation, unwavering.]

Keridra

...I'd rather be forgotten than be defined. Crimson spreads across her abdomen, yet her eyes hold no trace of regret.

Keridra

Laws are neither eternal nor absolute...
Only mortals can write rules for the sake of history.

Keridra

Now that I've shattered Emporious's sacred laws...
It's time to... end this game...

 

She drew her final breath to the rhythm of the waves. Word of her death spread like wildfire throughout Emporious. Freedom!! The tyrant is dead!! Jubilant cheers erupted from beyond the palace walls.

Keridra

..... The light faded from her azure eyes.

 

But there's someone who can save her. You. Her fate now rests in your hands. Whether she lives or dies - that choice is yours alone.
