ii - voice - unfiltered.
[The voice that comes across the Crystals isn't that of the emperor. It's another voice entirely; that which isn't immediately odd or even too normal. It's simply a voice.]
..Hello?
If anyone's there, I need your help. There's this place, this cliff, that's about twenty miles away from Cornelia. To the west. I was walking there and heard something underground. It sounded like someone crying, or something like that. I thought I was going mad-- but the sound got even louder the more I walked. Then I came to an opening in the cliff, and the crying was coming from inside. I wen inside, and there was a girl... and this monster. I couldn't help her. The monster saw me and chased me out.
I had to run for it, I'm only a mage. I wouldn't be able to stand a chance against it; it had the body of a lion, and three heads! But I think the girl's in real trouble... Can't someone do anything?
[Any response is futile. The emperor has no wish to converse, so further responses from him are not forthcoming.]
