RHUE: There's a poem here entitled,
"The Mimic" written by
Kleunwrade.
One who stole their names,
The child of Janwen's bane.
Darkness, shadow, death.
As long as it has breath.
SACRIFA: "The Mimic" is a legendary
evil that is said to have imitated it's
victims.
SACRIFA: The Mimic killed people and
then would pretend to be them.
For a time the Mimic was the most
feared being across the entire Way.
There are also some interesting poems in the tomb where you find Lexus.

MAN:\s[3] I saw the mists.
MAN:\s[3] Right before they crash
down they get real red like blood.
MAN:\s[3] They reach for the sky,\.\.
but they can't escape.
MAN:\s[3] Have you ever seen
the ocean?
MAN: \s[3]Every river flows into
the ocean.\.\. They bring sediment
from far away lands and the riptides
carry it out to sea.
MAN:\s[3] Everyday the ocean's waves
beat against the shore,\.\. eroding the
land.\| And everyday the rivers carry
off more sediment.
MAN: \s[3]The rivers widen and
the shorelines diminish.\|
Maybe everything will one
day be engulfed by the waters\..\..\..\.
MAN:\s[3] Maybe that is the will
of the Purpose.
MAN:\s[3] I used to look and
what I saw made me very
happy.
MAN:\s[3] But the longer I looked
the more my happiness faded.
MAN:\s[3] As time went on,\.\. looking
made me sadder and sadder.
MAN:\s[3] I began to wish more
and more that I had never looked
at all.
MAN:\s[3] So one day I turned
away.
MAN:\s[3] My stomach clenched
up and my mouth went dry.\.\.
All of the water went to my eyes.
MAN:\s[3] I let the tears fall onto
the ground.\.\. It was like one of
those rivers,\.\. slowly carrying
away bits and pieces of me.
MAN:\s[2] Sometimes,\. when my
eyes were full,\. I saw visions\..\..\..\.
MAN:\s[3] I felt very sick for
a long time.
" Wait a second\..\..\..\. I do see
something\..\..\..\.\.
Just some little kid\..\..\..\. smiling?"
MAN: But as the Lord Below was
driven back he conjured up a great
power from the multitudes under his
sway.
MAN: In that desperate hour
he unleashed a shockwave that
decimated the auras of all living things
for miles and miles around.
\s[2]The Illuminati vanished.\|
Janwen burned.
\s[8]Oh, I see.\.\. No,\.\. you
didn't kill me.\.\. You can't.
\s[8]That is to say,\.\. I amount
to nothing more than a shadow
in this existence.
(what's this supposed to mean?)\s[8]You mean to say that it
transcends natural form?
Shadow:You are searching for someone,\.\.
are you not?
Rhue:What do you know about it?
Shadow:There is only one person in this
entire city that you ever really
knew.\s[8]But\..\..\..\.\.\. even they are fake.
\s[5]Then again,\.\. I suppose it depends
on who you are.\|\. There is more
than one answer to that question.
Rhue:And just what do you mean by "fake"?
Shadow: Shadows.\.\. They are like shadows.\.\.
If you could follow the shadows you
could find them,\.\. but you cannot.
I wonder who could be the only real person...
Some of you have claimed the girl rhue meets in dream estrana during this episode is Serena right? Well guess again. I've made a picture of it and it's quite obvious that the blackend sprite of chasta is actually the girl rhue speaks to. So, rhue met chasta during episode 6... not serena.
The oldest sister of slade was called Chasta... scatha... you do the rearangement of the name... Its obvious she survived.
I still wonder what she's doing there if her alter ego scatha is still running around alive and kicking.
(sidenote:Somebody said that serena couldn't possibly be the youngest sister of slade, because that would tie the characters too much together... think about it, they've both got blonde hair then again slade's got green )
The black Shoals:
The painting I'm giving you is of
a place called the Black Shoals.
A very important event took
place there\..\..\..\.
Black Shoals Stock Market Planetarium is an animated night sky that is also a live representation of the world’s stock markets, with each star representing a traded company. Fed by massive streams of live financial information, the stars glimmer and pulse, immediately flickering brighter whenever their stock is traded anywhere in the world. The stars slowly move across the sky, clustering together or drifting apart in response to the shifting affinities of their respective companies, growing or shrinking as the company’s fortunes change. Digital creatures, a form of artificial life, inhabit this world, feeding on the light released by the stars, breeding, dying and slowly evolving – while trying to learn to live in this strange artificial ecology into which they’ve been born.
"What did you do with the part you ripped out?"
"\s[7]I put it inside a person's heart.
His own heart, but also another's."
Alundra wrote:Slade says here he had to kill 'her' out of guilt. Because he felt for her... Is he talking about his mom, his sister or cetsa?
MAN: Ah,\.\. I know what it is you
seek.\.\. The swords of justice...\.\.
the Illuminati.
MAN: They are not here.\.\. Indeed,\.\.
one might suggest that they exist
no longer.
MAN: Actually they do exist,\.\. but they
are not what they once were.
MAN: It was during the years that Janwen
became a sprawling city that most note the
disappearance of the Illuminati from
history. During this time the people of the
land slipped under the sway of the Lord
Below.\.\. It was not long before he
came to reside beneath Janwen.
The people of Janewn adored
and worshipped the Lord Below.
In places such as this (summoning pits) they came to
meet with his lessers and make deals.
The influence of the Lord
Below grew in the land.\.\.
Innocent blood flowed.
The Illuminati slept.\|
But then\..\..\..
An impetus suddenly began rolling
through the outlying lands.(what is an impetus?)
The Illuminati were discovered and
taken up once again.\.\
All,\.\. but one.
They came to Janwen.
And when they reached the city
they descended into the Pits to find
the Lord Below through the very
passages you yourself have come.
There in the firey depths of the
Reaches they faced off against the Evil
One.Surely they fought most gallantly
and victory must have seemed certain.\.\.
They scarred the Evil One badly that
day.But as the Lord Below was
driven back he conjured up a great
power from the multitudes under his
sway.In that desperate hour
he unleashed a shockwave that
decimated the auras of all living things
for miles and miles around.
The Illuminati vanished.\|
Janwen burned. (enter my start of the rolling mists theory, which nobody commented on I might add )
Scar upon the father's brow
Left by son, the disavowed
The shadowed depths below forsaken
Enter now our world, thy haven.
Fading into the night,
The scourge of fear, the blight.
Upon this land beneath the sky.
Echoes of the past decry.
Legend of the fallen world,
Betrayed for lust, a plan unfurled.
First to right a single wrong,
Then revenge, The Guided strong.
The land beneath the sky
Echoes of the past decried
A lost love carried on
Words to a lonely song
Everyone must bleed
Truth hides nothing.
"First to right a single wrong,
Then revenge, The Guided strong."
SACRIFA: You see,\.\. technically I
was a part of the revolt.
Loyalist forces were responsible
for the violence in Estrana and the death\..\..\..\.\.
no,\.\. the MURDER\.\. of my wife!
Because I believe in truth.\|
Thus,\.\. I could not follow Tetzel.\.\.
The truth is not in him.\.\. I doubt it ever
was. I thought that The Purpose had
answered my call when I found out that the
Pontifex Maximus Tetzel wanted me to take
charge of The Guided effort to offically secure
Estrana. I was told to do so in order
to use it as a base of operations for
future Guided operations. Tetzel assured me it
was the will of the Purpose and I
had his blessing.
Maintaining control of the
city was a difficult undertaking as the
Vigilance Council was trying to move in
and seize the city for themselves. I quickly realized that if I
succeeded in occupying the city,\.\. I
would have time to search for a cure
for Lilah.I made concessions
to Zedicus in order to resolve the situation
and free myself to pursue a cure. (Thus Guided and Vigilante came to rule the city together)
Tetzel was not very pleased with
me,\.\. but he was too busy with another project
to do anything beyond scolding me through
messengers. As things settled down in the city
I began to work to find a cure for Lilah.\|
A year passed and nothing I tried cured her.\|
I pleaded with the Purpose for
help,\.\. but no answer came.
My heart was so grieved
that I decided to seek help from another.\|\.
The Lord of the Pits.
I tried to summon him,\.\. but
I only succeeded in drawing up one of his
lessers.The lesser told me to dig a
tunnel deep down into the Pits.\.\.\. The Lord
Below would only bargain with me face to
face in his own domain. And so I began to tunnel down
into the Pits below Estrana in secret.\.\.\. It
wasn't very long before we found something
very strange.A discovery that would
eventually change everything for me. This underground city of course.All evidence suggested the
Guided had delved into the Pits prior to
my arrival.At about the same time I was
ordered by Tetzel to begin circulating
propoganda about a silent murderer called
the Phantom Slasher.There were many existing stories
and I simply exaggerated them further.\.\.
Tetzel never gave me any
explanation for this order,\.\. but it was
obvious to me that he was trying to delay
the masses for some reason.I did as ordered and continued
digging into the Pits,\.\. hoping to save my
poor Lilah.But somehow,\.\. someone found out
about Lilah's disease and her connection to me.
After they slaughtered her I
summoned horrible beasts from the Pits
which ended up ripping Estrana to shreds. Yes,\.\. and then I left the city
to join the rebel Guided against Tetzel at
the End of the Way.
WOMAN: I know a man who's been
in possession of a Shadow Sword for
quite some time. I would guess that it has
been in his possession for the last
few hundred years.
Yes,\.\. it sounds impossible doesn't
it?\.\.\. But that's the first thing you should know
about Shadow Swords.\.\.\. Those who possess
them do not age physically. (Yeah I know that here we all think about Kalmar... )Not a day.\.\. They stay as they
are while they continue to possess the
Shadow Sword.
Not quite (immortal).\.\. They can still be
be killed\..\..\..\. but not easily. (IT TAKES ANOTHER KIND OF SWORD?!)
Shadow Swords can absorb
auras like nothing else on the Way.
Full,\.\. powerful auras that give
the weilder of the sword incredible
abilities. By killing wanderers.\| Wanderers
are the most abundant and easily accessed
source of auras. Actually,\.\. it doesn't even have
to be used to kill.\.\. It merely has to be near
as death takes hold. But I've heard that
Shadow Swords often "prefer" certain victims
to others\..\..\..\.\. Sometimes they like to be
used to kill,\.\. but other times they don't.
Shadow Swords strongly bind
themselves to the natural,\.\. or as some say,\.\.
the original aura,\.\. of the one who possesses
them. The bonds become stronger
and more intertwined the longer they
remain. However,\.\. as the sword absorbs
other auras,\.\. it binds itself to them as well.
These connections are very weak
compared to the connections made with the
original aura,\.\. but as more and more of them
are made,\.\. the original/dominant aura's power begins to erode.After a certain limit the original
aura's bonds to its soul and body are suddenly
snapped and the other auras rush into the
opening. The soul and body desperately begin
to form new connections with the
chaotic mass of invading auras which ends
up driving the weilder into a state of multiple personality,\.\. suicidal madness. It's only a matter of time after this
occurs that the weilder then kills themself,\.\.
dispersing the auras and destorying
the connections made to them by the Shadow Sword.
(Okay I'm going to break my own arguments here, but IF Trazuin would be carrying a shadow sword, it would be why he commits suicide at the end of the game...)he man I mentioned
knew about it long before it ever had a chance
to happen to him. He spent decades researching
and examining the problem trying to find
some solution.\|\| To a degree he even
succeeded in doing so...
WOMAN(of which some think it's trazuin's mother): Of course you aren't him\..\..\..
it doesn't matter what your face
looks like. You are strange...Always changing\..\..\..\.\.
You're not going to hurt me?
Water.\.\. It is shapeless and
eternal.\.\. It cannot be destroyed.\.\.
When it is scorched it turns
into steam and flees into the sky.
When it is touched with extreme
cold it forms a solid crystal armor that
is slippery to grasp.
It changes it's very nature in
order to survive.
No sword can harm it.\.\. No force
can wound it.
Water absorbs all,\.\. even the
illest of poisons.\.\. Yet it suffers not.\.\.
It lives on despite those who invade it.
Fading into the night,
The scourge of fear, the blight.
KAVAX: Your victory was hollow.\.\.
I understand your mind,\.\. and now
I hate you no longer Kura. (Isn't this exactly what Midian says to Jeruh?)
RHUE:The name is Rhue.\.\. I just played the
part of Kura in Alan's show.\.\. Why
don't you try to keep reality and make
believe separated.
KAVAX: It is right for you to be
confused so.\.\. I will diminish from
such talk,\.\. but I will offer you the
final test.
Seven generations ago there (how many years is that?)
lived two men.\|\.\. Strangely
similiar and yet disimiliar at
the same time.\|\|\^(Gauis and Trazuin)Both were valiant warriors and
fought with the strength of ten
men.\|\| ^(Gauis and Trazuin)And both were as swift^(Gauis and Rhue)
as the rushing winds of Alendor.\|\|\^
Together they were nearly unstoppable.\|
And thus it was that these two men joined
one another as blood brothers,\.\. and (LYN MOST DEFINIATELY BLOODOATH ...)became sell-swords for hire.\|\|\|\^(err ... LYN? Yeah I guess!)
They quickly made a name for themselves (the two escaped lyn?)
as the very best,\.\. going on brilliant
adventures and conquering a myriad
of foes.\|\|\^(Trazuin goes matrix episode 5...)
Legendhood floated at their fingertips.\|
Not once had they ever failed any
task they took up.\|\.\.\^
And then one summer they were hired
by The Guided to go out and capture a
heretic,\.\.\. a priestess of the Solemn Woods.\|\|\|\^
Such a small task it seemed,\.\. but larger
things loomed on the horizon.\|\| A small
shadow was slowly taking shape.\|\|\^(the phantom slasher came into life)They then enter a forest and meet up with Luma. She summons a lesser to fight off her assilants but she fails...
After defeating the Great Beast (Lesser ?)
Kava and Kura took the priestess Luma
captive.Kava was kind to her,\.\. but Kura
bore her no good will.Kava pleaded with Kura to change
his mind,\.\. and release Luma,\.\.
but Kura could not be swayed.Kura would not break his contract,\.\.
or his word to The Guided.\.\. (somehow this seems a bit like gauis)
He was determined to fufill what he
felt were his obligations.Were it not for their brotherhood
etched in blood,\.\. Kava would have done more to try to help
Luma.But he was bound.\.\. He could not betray his brother in arms.\.\.
And so he bided his time and waited for an opportunity.And so it was that one night Kava allowed himself to accidentally give Luma the chance she needed to escape.With a poorly tied knot around her wrists,\.\. Kava declared his great sympathy for her plight ever more than before.And so she freed herself and snuck off into the woods late that night.But fate was against her, or something darker.\.\. For Kura woke suddenly
from his sleep and soon gave chase,\.\. following her trail...
Kura met up with Luma and brought her back to the guided.
This is how the scene ended when Rhue played it.ALAN: <Rhue,\.\. you weren't supposed
to take out the Guided...>
SACRIFA: The show we were in
didn't go into what became of Kura.\.\.\.
That's to be expected though.
Most people focus on Kava
and Luma.\.\. Did you know the entire
Guided camp was massacred the night
after Kava and Luma met their end?
Most people believe it was
Kava come back from the dead,\.\. to
avenge himself and Luma.
It's also said that a forest
grew up out of the ground where (LANDORIN?)
the massacre occurred.
I wanted something more spectacular, but there's only so much you can do.
More, more, more.... but I have to grow up. Have to apply my time and skills elsewhere. Luke
