I intend to travel to the Citadel of Trials. Lufene must be stopped, or she will lay waste to this entire world. I have faced the Citadel before... if doing so again will give me strength to defeat Lufene and Garland, then I will not hesitate.

I assume you have all spoken to Kain. What do you think, of his

The Citadel of Trials? What manner of place is that?

[At the question, Cecil pauses. Of course, he can't really give an unbiased opinion when Kain is his best friend... but he'll give his thoughts on the matter regardless.]

I can't condone Kain's actions in attacking his allies, but he has not tried to conceal what harm he caused, and he apologised for it. What he says is worthy of our trust.

[Whether the others want to forgive Kain, though... That's their choice.]

It is a place where one's strength and abilities are tested. In my own world, it was how I became a knight. It was one of the locations showed to me by Memoria.

[He listens in silence, then nods after a moment.]

If what he says is true, then his actions helped us to find our crystals, at his own expense. Those actions are truly commendable.

[Siiiiiigh. If only he could remember the cycle that Kain's talking about.]

It sounds much like Mount Ordeals, where I became a paladin.

[Though he's sure the warrior doesn't have so much of a shred of darkness in him to need to be cleansed, as Cecil did.]

Yes, and not just Kain. He said he and a small group gave their lives stopping the manikins. We owe much to them all.

It may well be. This world has drawn multiple pieces from different worlds into one location before.

[He probably doesn't. But even if it were Mount Ordeals here, instead of the Citadel, he'd still want to go to it.]

There were others, as well?

...I don't think Kain would have any reason to lie to us. He could have just as well never said anything about what he did. And...I know it doesn't make up for everything, but he was trying to help.

I agree. He acts as a warrior of the light. Yet still, the things he has said are troubling.

[She nods, biting her lip.]

I didn't realize the manikins were such a threat.

Unless we were told by one of the warriors of Chaos, there would have been little reason for us to know it, in the last cycle. Still, there were other things to what he said that were of concern.

You spoke of that place before, didn't you? Please take care there, even if you have overcome it once before.

[for_cosmos]

Yes. It was one of the places Memoria showed me.

I will be.

[Going there will actually let him learn white magic! It's a good thing!]

[twincasting]

[Chances of that actually stopping her from worrying and fussing are fairly low.]

Do you know what to expect there? Will you need help?

[for_cosmos]

Celes has told me some of the location, and if possible, I do not intend to go without others.

[Well, it's an attempt.]

More reasons to believe him than to doubt him. Not all too sure I like the idea of getting knocked out a whole lot but hey, clearly worked out okay.

[Video/Filtered]

[for_cosmos]

Yes. And furthermore, he was relieved to hear it, as well.

[warkitoff]

Sure seems that way. Dunno what to think of it, really. Kinda bugs me that we might have more allies that we don't even know about.

[for_cosmos]

That we cannot remember any of this is one of the more troubling parts of this, yes.

I think he's telling the truth.

[This message is being brought to you from stuck underneath a large dog. Apparently Marlene's magic didn't wear off Rex yet.

He's angry as always, with no way of knowing he's angry at Kain for failing to save Vaan.]

But that doesn't mean I trust him.

[Video]

[for_cosmos]

[He is not going to ask about that location yet, and just assume that there is a reason for it.]

I would not expect you to. However, I find myself believing him.

[Video - this was totally filtered the whole time, derp]

[alittletoosmart]

I believe him. Because that's one weird story to just make up. If he was lying to try to get our trust I doubt he'd have claimed to have turned his weapon on us, no matter what he says his reasons are.

But- I don't think it went as well as he said it did. Somethi- one's missing from his story, I know it.

[Video - filtered of course.]

[for_cosmos]

Cecil said that there were others that fought alongside him. Is that what you mean?
