An entire horizon of white. |
| 2 |
|
bf01040100_0020 |
82 |
A sea of clouds, and at its heart, the
World Tree, piercing the heavens... |
| 3 |
|
bf01040100_0030 |
82 |
This... This is the world we call home... |
| 4 |
|
bf01040100_0032 |

Alrest. |
| 5 |
|
bf01040100_0040 |
82 |
Story goes that when the world was young... |
| 6 |
|
bf01040100_0050 |
82 |
Everyone in Alrest lived on the Tree,
together with our divine father, the Architect. |
| 7 |
|
bf01040100_0060 |
82 |
According to the tales, it was a bountiful land. And the people there
held the power to command even the heavens themselves. |
| 8 |
|
bf01040100_0070 |
82 |
They called that paradise... |
| 9 |
|
bf01040100_0072 |
82 |
"Elysium". |
| 10 |
|
bf01040100_0080 |
82 |
But then, one day...
we were cast out. |
| 11 |
|
bf01040100_0090 |
82 |
Nobody knows why. |
| 12 |
|
bf01040100_0100 |
82 |
Perhaps we angered our creator,
or perhaps it was something else entirely... |
| 13 |
|
bf01040100_0110 |
82 |
All we know is, we were forced to leave Elysium
to live here in Alrest. |
| 14 |
|
bf01040100_0120 |
82 |
Where, it turns out, life was pretty hard. |
| 15 |
|
bf01040100_0130 |
82 |
But, when it seemed like we would surely
die out, the Architect...took pity on us... |
| 16 |
|
bf01040100_0140 |
82 |
sending his servants, the Titans, to save us. |
| 17 |
|
bf01040100_0150 |
82 |
The few of us who survived settled on the Titans...
and we've lived in harmony with them ever since. |
| 18 |
|
bf01040100_0160 |
82 |
But now, those Titans... *sigh* |
| 19 |
|
bf01040100_0170 |
82 |
are beginning to die out. |
| 20 |
|
bf01040100_0180 |
82 |
A-ah... The brazier does my weary
old bones much good... |
| 21 |
|
bf01040100_0190 |
82 |
Want me to move it, Gramps? |
| 22 |
|
bf01040100_0200 |
82 |
No, that's quite all right. Leave it
right there - a-ah... |
| 23 |
|
bf01040100_0210 |
82 |
Righto! |
| 24 |
|
bf01040100_0220 |
82 |
Not another one...
Been happenin' a lot lately... |
| 25 |
|
bf01040100_0230 |
82 |
Mm... More so than before. |
| 26 |
|
bf01040100_0240 |
82 |
I wonder if anyone was living there... |
| 27 |
|
bf01040100_0250 |
82 |
It seems not.
And if there had been, they would have all left by now. |
| 28 |
|
bf01040100_0260 |
82 |
Makes sense... |
| 29 |
|
bf01040100_0270 |
82 |
Hey, Gramps, d'you think...Fonsett
Village will be gone too one day? |
| 30 |
|
bf01040100_0280 |
82 |
It would not be today or tomorrow,
but one day, yes, it will fall... |
| 31 |
|
bf01040100_0290 |
82 |
And you, too? |
| 32 |
|
bf01040100_0300 |
82 |
That's how it goes with us Titans... |
| 33 |
|
bf01040100_0310 |
82 |
There's no way around it. |
| 34 |
|
bf01040100_0320 |
82 |
Eventually...
there'll be nowhere left to live. |
| 35 |
|
bf01040100_0330 |
82 |
Sadly... |
| 36 |
|
bf01040100_0340 |
82 |
So... You Titans were born
up there, is that right? |
| 37 |
|
bf01040100_0350 |
82 |
So they say, for what it's worth. |
| 38 |
|
bf01040100_0360 |
82 |
Mind you, I was born here, on Alrest. |
| 39 |
|
bf01040100_0370 |
82 |
As for my ancestors, who could say
where they were born... |
| 40 |
|
bf01040100_0380 |
82 |
Can it really exist? This Elysium? |
| 41 |
|
bf01040100_0390 |
82 |
And the creator who's said to live there... |
| 42 |
|
bf01040100_0400 |
82 |
A land of plenty, atop the World Tree... |
| 43 |
|
bf01040100_0410 |
82 |
If such a place did exist, perhaps
we could all live in peace. |
| 44 |
|
bf01040100_0420 |
82 |
With no need for fighting. |
| 45 |
|
bf01040100_0430 |
82 |
Sure would be great... |
| 46 |
|
bf01040100_0440 |
82 |
For everyone...even folks in Fonsett. |
| 47 |
|
bf01040100_0450 |
82 |
If the divine Architect can see us now,
I wonder what he thinks... |
