FINAL TRIAL

[Soon enough, soon enough.

The ticking doesn't stop by the time everyone starts to congregate at the temple. It's ultimately not hard to find; after going north for a little bit, it becomes all too clear where the temple is.]




[The very top of the temple has a room, one of cold stone and blood. There is a stone table at the center; there is nothing on it but dried blood. There are no chairs, no food, no coffins-only small, hastily-scribbled circles to indicate where people might need to stand to face their captors.

And stand they will need to, as they wait for the Stewards to arrive. The time for what will very likely be a final confrontation is almost upon them. Now it's just a question of putting together the clues they've found-and seeing if there truly is a way out of this predicament.

Only one thing is certain-at this point, anything is possible.]



[It's time! The objectives are simple in this trial. It's time to finally answer the questions the Titled have about why they are here, and what, exactly, the route they all intend to take after five long weeks - especially when the Stewards arrive.

GOOD LUCK, TITLED!]

[EDIT: VOTING IS OPEN! This will close at midnight EST on May 25th!]

I know they hate me.

[If it does happen, he has a feeling he knows who it will be.]

[yonosoymaria]

I will do everything in my power to keep you from dying here.

[He cannot even voice "to keep you safe". If he'd said that - if he says it now - if he can't live up to it, Eric knows he'll be as mad as Giriko thinks the Lady needs and then some.]

[incendiarize]

You've already made your choice though, right...?

[Arthur will not make Krone choose. Even if he can't take the side of their captors, now, not after seeing - feeling - what they've done. She and Eric are not his enemies.]

I just wanna get everyone out of here. This isn't my world, it's not my war, I don't wanna pick a side. But if I have to, I....can't. I can't take the same one.

[yonosoymaria]

I... failed, when I told Jun I would stop the deaths. I understand that you've been forced into the worst of this situation, but I don't want to fight you.

She doesn't want you to die, either.

[He is not doing well at seeming composed, now.]
