Tarnished .. we've fought this land for so long .. I seldom think any of us know what unity is .

Thou speaketh with true intentions, but these old bones cannot fathom such radical change ..

[ He pauses . ] I will consider the accord thou hast offered me .

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

[ Morgott stares wordlessly, before his gaze turns back up to the Erdtree. How strange that it still stands bright and tall among the suffering below .

Far too long have we endured, he thought . But the gnawing feeling of doubt was far too great for him. ]

[𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓫𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓻 @bladesofgold]

lord godfrey hath said once before: "a crown is warranted with strength". perhaps not only in raw power, but also of resolve of heart; faith in the self.

i believe the with ranni seeks a similar path. but i have a different method.

[arms extend up and outwards, towards the sky]

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

Put that down you will hurt yourself . Or worse, me —

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

I AM AWARE . THOU WOULDST NOT CEASE BRANDISHING THE GREATSWORD YOU LOOTED OFF ITS CORPSE .

[hermes in reverse. @treedevourer]

TO BE FAIR. SLAYIN’ WYRMS ARE EASY.

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

They should wait until allowed to enter, like all respectable guests .

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

. . .

[𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓫𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓻 @bladesofgold]

in all fairness, there is no door there; merely an archway.

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

The tarnished enter the throne room so brazenly with " I hath slain a wyrm, I've fell the forts in caelid, I've slain your fellow demigods - "

And thou still fail to knock .

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

If even the gods and the first lord failed, what hope have we ?

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

[ There is silence . Then a chuckle, dry and hoarse. ]

Thou art bold , Tarnished .

[ He shakes his head as he steps past him to oversee the capital below . His head now held up to the Erdtree, Morgott stands in disbelief . ]

Truly thou wouldst seek aid from

[𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓫𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓻 @bladesofgold]

hm...

[arms move to be behind his back, he turns to the erdtree. falling silent for a short time.]

it would not be out of the question for someone to lead the way. the tarnished are here for a similar act, i believe...

wouldst thou care to assist in my becoming the elden lord?

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

the very adversary who whose edict demands thy death ? I cannot decide whether thou art jesting, or truly foolish .

By what merit doth one believe thou shouldst be measured? Hope can only go so far .

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

In sooth, the coming of a new age leaves my soul disquieted . What awaits us all in the future, I cannot help but wonder .

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

War and rot have plagued the lands between for far too long in your absence .

[ The omen lets out an almost dejected sigh. Tired, he seems, near defeated. Surely he'd hoped that there was still time to save what was left and yet.. ]

[𝓵𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓫𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓮𝓻 @bladesofgold]

i...see.

[a hand to his helmet-clad temple. going into thought.]

'tis been so long preaching and traveling throughout other lands, that when i returned to this i...i almost believed i was in some sort of nightmare. i thought i could merely pick up where i was before, return it

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

Yet .

[ cans set aside, he takes a rather awkward seat aside from her . He's not used to company, but perhaps the wine will mellow him out . ]

Thou art too generous .

[hermes in reverse. @treedevourer]

( Producing one of many clinking bottles. The lopsided grin she wears is nicely placed. ) Yah, well, yew haven’t killed me yet.

Aye! Now yer comin’ around. Let’s sit! Exhalted flesh is on th’ house!

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

" It's beautiful .." he utters . " Truly a wonder to behold with mine own eyes .. Thou art truly kind, granting me audience, Queen Rennala . "

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

He could barely speak, still rather fascinated by the site before him.

Morgott had never seen such a great repository of books and scrolls. Leyndell had its own but .. never like this .

And ontop of it all, the Carian Queen's welcoming gaze made it all the better.

〝 Doth it please thee? I am ever grateful for visitors who know how to appreciate the Grand Library .〞

Rennala walks towards him, her expression as calm and welcoming as she has always wished to embody as the Queen of Caria .

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

I'd give my upmost thanks, should thou grace me with a glass .

[ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠ ‍ ‍ ᅠ𝓛U𝓝AR ‍ ᅠ ᅠ✴︎ ᅠ ᅠ ᅠPRIN͟C͟𝑬SS. @fateunwrltten]

Thy pardon is granted. If wine thou truly wishest, I have some here.

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

😞 Forgive me . I was daydreaming.

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

Quite the rebellious spirit thou harbors . Is that why one wouldst humor one such as I ?

So be it, I suppose a flask would do no harm .

[hermes in reverse. @treedevourer]

Company is company. Stole a few bottles from My lady, proprietress Tanith. * ✨
Doubt she cares, that one.

[𖣂 ˖𓍢ִ໋` @VElLEDM0NARCH]

Perhaps, should one be willing to stomach poorly crafted spirits . It is subpar wine at best, I am afraid .

[hermes in reverse. @treedevourer]

Are yew willin’ ta share?
