"I don't even know y-"
[i]"Anri."[/i]
[b]Yuria tears Royal away from her with surprising strength.[/b]
[b]Anri is silent.[/b]
[i]"We must speak with each other. Without this Dight."[/i]
"Oh...um, ok..."
[b]Yuria has already started speaking, standing up straight. Anri is on the couch.[/b]
[i]"-must realize that it's the best path. Mortar didn't do it, it's up to you. Please, Anri..."[/i]
"But..."
[b]She sighs.[/b]
[i]"Anri...you'll be doing this for the betterment of all realms..."[/i]
"But what about afterwards? After the flame dies, and darkness covers Lordran?!"
[i]"It is up to us to find out."[/i]
[i]"I will train you, Anri. I will mentor you, guide you through this. You will be my student.
Will you allow me to be your master?"[/i]
[b]Anri is thinking.[/b]
"Hey now."
[b]Royal is leaning against the wall behind her [/b]
"You guys were making a new church. A new belief system. Or at least we thought so. [i]Sable[/i]."
[b]He says with distaste [/b]
[i]"Yes, we did. But that doesn't make your Legion any better than the Church. We cared, built up the land, prepared for the age of humanity, the age that we would be free from this fire-linking curse."[/i]
[i]"Do you not understand?
While the other lands and worlds flourished, discovering and living happy, bountiful lives...we were stuck in a never-ending cycle of fools lighting a flame so that we could do nothing...
So myself and my sisters tried to help.
We created the Church, to offer redemption to those that had nothing. To the sinful, cursed ones. To Hollows.
We grew in power, developing dark miracles and sorceries. Our enemies were weak, and fell easily.
And then...you came."[/i]
[b]Yuria looks up at Royal, shaking her head.[/b]
[i]"...Why?"[/i]
[i]"She is Unkindled. The only ones that are able to link this flame now, returning once more to link it again.
But...she can crush the flame. Bring upon change. Become a hero.
Would you not wish that for her?"[/i]
[i]"I suppose I must tell you.
The Nameless King wanted Ornstein to fail. He wanted everything to happen the way it did. So he could harbor the flame himself.
And the only person capable of crushing the flame is...Anri.
He will destroy everything. Please...Anri is the only hope that this universe has."[/i]
