"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.."
English
-
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?
-
[i]"Given his life span and how he has lived, Four million should suffice" [/i]
-
*Mortar nods* Understood. *Mortar opens up a Portal to the Old Underworld, then returns a moment later with a small vat* Inside this, four million damned souls rest. Open this when we are done and do what you please
-
[i]"You have done well, Lord Mortar. Royal, you may kneel."[/i] [b]Royal gets down on one knee, and the Firekeeper places a hand on his forehead. Royal collapses backwards and the Firekeeper pockets the souls [/b] [i]"Tis done."[/i]
-
*Mortar walks up, picking up Royal* What exactly did you do to him?
-
[i]"I extracted the darkness causing the hollowing."[/i]
-
Hmm, okay. Thank you. *He opens up a portal back to the Dojo* I hope we can meet again
