"I know what you're trying to do"
[b]Royal suddenly seems to be sitting by you.
Shadows, gripping the world around him [/b]
"But it won't work."
English
-
*He smiles at Roy a moment* What do you think I'm gonna do?
-
"You're gonna ask Ornstein about hollowing."
-
*After he says that Mortar puts on a heavily sarcastic tone* Nooooo! I'm just waiting for my doctor to give me an anti Hollowing Suppository to shove up your ass!
-
"Haha very -blam!-ing funny."
-
*He chuckles slightly* Yeah. But I want what's best for you
-
"Oh wow Mortar. If I didn't know any better id say you were falling for me." [b]He laughs and punches Mortar in the arm [/b] "What's best for me would be to leave. Maybe forever. If I fall into hollowness and kill someone.."
-
Hey, I have a girlfriend. *He chuckles as well, slapping his hand on Royal's shoulder* But, in all seriousness, I don't want you to leave. A lot of people want you here. I can and WILL find a way to keep you from hollowing, even if I have to lock you in my pocket dimension.
-
[b]Royal simply sighs [/b] "I know something that might work. I have to journey to Firelink Shrine. Speak with the Firekeeper. She can heal my hollowing, for a price."
-
A... Price? *Mortar raises a brow* What price?
-
"Souls of the fallen." [b]He said this while looking at the ground [/b]
-
Oh, yeah? *He sighs slightly, knowing what he has to do* I'll come with you
-
"I just don't know if I should give them up.... They're people I've murdered in anger, or in revenge. Some souls that died because of me. Tyler was his name? One of the Exiled. I have his soul... Because well..."
-
Look. I'm from the Underworld. if this person just wants any old souls I can supply them.
-
"I guess there's only one way of finding out?"
-
Yeah. I'll come with you
-
"Alright. Come on ." [b]He stands creating a shadowy portal in the ground. He hops in [/b]
-
*Mortar steps in too*
-
[b]We stand in front of the bonfire inside Firelink Shrine A woman is on the stairs, looking at us [/b] "[i]Our Lord.. "[/i]
-
And Mortar... *He seems slightly awkward as he stands next to Royal, keeping at his side*
-
[i]"I was referring to you, Lord Mortar. The linker of the flame" [/i]
-
Oh, sorry. I thought you were talking to Royal, the man who came for you.
-
[i]"He defeated Lothric correct?"[/i] "It was the doggo. I didn't kill him Zane killed Lorian I think?" [i]"Thou has come for a reason?"[/i] "Uh yes. I need you to clear my hollowing" [i]"That is no small price" [/i]
-
Yeah, and that's why I'm here. Royal told me that your price for clearing him is souls. Being an Ex God... has some perks
-
[i]"How many souls do you offer?"[/i]
-
How many do you desire?
