Fifty-Seven Kings Slain

[captain_basch]

I had forgotten that a year had gone by in this city... in that time my brother has gone and come again. Now he has once again left Discedo. Hm... while I would typically say twas for the best, I cannot truly say that this time. Either way, I hope his soul can rest in peace. Better in Ivalice than in this world.

It is for the best. For he and us.

[captain_basch]

... aye.

The dead should lay in peace, not be dragged from their eternal rest to this city.

[vieraskypirate]

It is unnatural otherwise. Such things should not be tampered with.

[captain_basch]

The Scientists here do not seem to have much concern for that.

They bring those who have passed to this world and give them live, and if they happen to fall here, then merely repeat the process.

While I am glad for it, you are right. Tis unnatural.

[vieraskypirate]

They are mad. Even so I find myself still curious as to what kind of power they wield to accomplish such a thing.

[captain_basch]

You and many others, along with myself.

[vieraskypirate]

Has no one ever tried to find out?

[captain_basch]

People have tried to find them, but they keep their location hidden quite well.

They of course have the advantage, knowing this land better than any they have brought here.

[vieraskypirate]

So they do. Perhaps someday they will not be so well hidden.

Though some have been here for years?

[captain_basch]

Perhaps.

Aye. Her Majesty and Balthier have been here well over a year now, and myself just a little over one.

Though many have been here that long if not more, rarely have they stepped out of the city. The fiends are not forgiving outside of the city it seems.

[vieraskypirate]

The fiends here are troublesome. More vicious. They do not simply live. It is as if they live for bloodlust alone.

[clean_cuffs]

You know, people always say these things should never be tampered with... but they never say why.

[vieraskypirate]

Because it is obvious.
