Who: Albinia and YOU
When: Day 64, noonish
Where: Shrine Area
What: A story.

[As promised, Albinia is sitting in the shrine area. The temperature might be a bit cooler there, but that's more for the snakes' discomfort than any of you.]

[And she's just calmly waiting for people to gather.]

So, they used their power to bring back the animals? But why? Do the animals worship them?

Er, for that matter, wouldn't Dellen be an older one...?

More it kept the animals alive. And no, they don't.

She is one of the older ones, but not the oldest.

But the animals didn't just survive, they flourished.

Because of their influence. They had a lot of power and there's an affect on the world that's accelerating such things. It's why you heal faster.

Ohhh, I see.

Say, have you tried telling them we won't beg?

They don't listen to reason well.

Is that a yes? Because, I mean, when they did it before... those people were born and raised in Thusia. Things like asking them to stop and offering compensations through rituals would be natural to them. It never even occurred to me that I could do that, and I think for most people it's the same-- won't they notice it isn't working out the same way?

Dellen talked to S'vx.

I...could not.

Can we? Or would that register as worship?

If you don't do things in his name, don't bow to him, or anything like that, then no. It wouldn't be.

However, he will probably try to kill you to force the issue.

Yikes. And now that there's a god of death, that would really be a problem... I mean, I wouldn't want to die in the first place, but permanent death is definitely worse.

It is.

Running away probably wouldn't help my case as much as I'd like, would it?

Running away?

Yeah, if I make them mad.

It wouldn't, and it would only give him what he wants as well.

Right, terrible idea, got it.

[Nods.] It would need to be a well thought out plan to not risk your lives.

I think I'll leave that part to someone else.

But we'll come up with something, I'm sure of it.

...

You'll have to. We can't do this without the people.

Well, you said they don't really want us all dead, after all. They need our worship too, don't they?

They do, but they don't think things through and are prone to temper tantrums. If you say you won't bow, they'll just think they need to beat it into you.

To me it sounds like the best thing we could do right now is try to give you all as much power as we can...

[ glances around ]

But it seems like that might get a little difficult.

It would be one of the better things to do. I'd be satisfied just keeping power from him.

...other will listen.

I just needed people to know the story.

Thank you.
