Genessa
The Censer (65)
- And the others?
- As if she’d seen this all before.
- But she was ready...
- I tried to take the censer.
- You, too, sester?
- Who... are you?
- … I…
- … didn’t…
- … obey…
- I will guide you through realignment.
- I’ve been entrusted with your… care.
- No matter how long it takes.
- What’s the meaning of this?
- You’re our jailer then?
- Welcome, sesters, to your new home.
- (pain grunts)
- Aren’t you a “good” sester.
- I’m… learning.
- What are you doing?
- It is… as you say.
- No accident.
- If there’s any shred of Genessa left in you.
- Just as I thought.
- Speak up, sester.
- …
- Just as every flame casts a shadow...
- So, too, does the spirit.
- … Just…
- Come forward, Decima.
- Lead us in prayer.
- Yes, sester.
- And embraced infinity.
- From her we were born.
- I believe in one vision...
- One future.
- One self.
- She who took the first sip...
- And to her we will return.
- Now let us return to our studies.
- Very good.
- Decima—what did you see?
- Her… hand slipped.
- This was no accident.
- What have you done?
- No.
- There's another way.
- I do.
- Kill me?
- What… will you do to me?
- As you wish, sester.
- Please, join me, dear Decima.
- Today is a special day.
- But first you must be tested.
- Follow me.
- I believe you’re ready…
- Yes.
- You’re… freeing me?
- … to reunite with our originator.
- And look at her now.
- I did nothing wrong.
- Red with guilt.
- Sester, you’ve gone… astray?
- She tried to escape.
- What’s this about?
- You know what must be done.
The Funeral (58)
- Do not mourn.
- Our sacred task is complete.
- Sesters…
- The Foundling may finally rest.
- Today is a day to celebrate.
- Don’t be childish.
- Enough.
- His fate was set. Same as ours.
- You deceived us.
- You used us.
- You… you killed him.
- Come.
- Let us honor the Foundling.
- You’ve kept us waiting, sester.
- For the war to come.
- For us—for you.
- He made a sacrifice.
- Accept
- And what if I will differently?
- I have seen what lies ahead.
- If you cannot agree to this…
- Or you will be unmade.
- Please, will you not join me willingly?
- Refuse
- Then you will be made to see the error of your ways.
- This is my promise.
- This is our fate.
- What choice do I have?
- (in unison) Your toil ends.
- Rest well, Foundling.
- Didn’t you?
- I told you not to get so attached.
- Now take your place, Sester.
- We did our part.
- We… failed him.
- You knew he would die...
- And this time no wayward child will save us.
- For I have seen a new enemy.
- I believe it’s time we reunite.
- I didn’t just call you here to honor the Foundling.
- Sesters—
- She’s right.
- What?
- … become one again.
- As you wish.
- I fear we've split too far apart.
- I should not have struck you.
- I will do no such thing.
- Indeed.
- It’s… a difficult time.
- Please, forgive me.
- And if I will differently?
- It makes no difference.
- None.
- Nonesense.
- Our fate was decided long ago.
- Wait… what if there’s another way?
- What if there’s… another child?
Training (51)
- (chuckles) Not bad.
- Perhaps you are the Harbinger.
- Well done.
- ...
- Sester.
- At once.
- Let us train.
- Not right now, sester.
- Perhaps another time, sester.
- ... Tiel.
- Harbinger.
- Is that... my beloved?
- Welcome back, Harbinger.
- You return, Harbinger.
- But perhaps fate has a different plan.
- I’d hoped to never see it again.
- This censer…
- You found it.
- Now… do you wish for my help?
- But you have much to learn.
- I see you’re prepared.
- Is there still some fight left in him?
- Let’s see what he can do.
- There must be.
- As you wish.
- Back for more, Harbinger?
- En Garde
- I knew you couldn't resist.
- I'd thought this all behind me.
- My Censer...
- No
- Perhaps I ... we can change the course after all.
- Shall I take up the fight?
- Take a deep breath. Prepare yourself.
- Very well. The choice is yours.
- Where, how, did you find it?
- Yes
- Now... do you wish for my help?
- Come.
- I was told you’d find me… Harbinger.
- Tiel…
- I can help you remember… what we are.
- Let the past shape our future.
- Let us remember who we are.
- Sester, let us reconcile the past.
- We must not forget our shared history.
- He still smells like a miscreant.
- En Garde.
- I will test you.
- Let us spar.
- Let’s see what you can do.
High Sester Sanctum (48)
- It’s… not quite what I dreamed.
- It’s… not your fault.
- Please, tell me what we can do.
- Something’s… off.
- This place…
- He’s supposed to be here…
- We’d… thought you’d found him.
- Where’s the second child?
- You’ve been gone so long.
- … the Harbinger?
- … waiting for me.
- High Sester.
- This… isn’t right
- Where is he?
- Ah, welcome, most High Sester.
- May I help you?
- Welcome back, High Sester.
- For what?
- Preparing him—just as you instructed.
- The Harbinger.
- The second child, of course.
- What are you doing?
- I’ve… I’ve seen this place… before
- Of course you have, High Sester.
- Please, High Sester go on.
- It’s… not tar… is it?
- No, far more potent.
- This… Gloom.
- Forget what you’ve seen.
- He’ll find you.
- It’s him… isn’t it?
- Where is he? … The Harbinger?
- Your visions, your so-called fate.
- And yet no one believed me.
- I believe you, High Sester.
- I saw him in my visions…
- I was sure he’d be here.
- Maybe you… need a new vision?
- Perhaps they were right?
- His… distant kin.
- I am the Foundling’s promise.
- Who are you?
- You’re… Revered?
- Already, your sester is here.
- But you can make things right…
- There’s no time.
- Wait… please… don’t go…
- … with her.
Interact (38)
- Hm… no, of course not.
- But I will aid you all the same.
- There is no defying fate…
- You’re no wayward spirit—are you?
- But I know your true purpose.
- I am Genessa.
- I will initiate you…
- Prepare you for what’s to come.
- The others… they revere you.
- You must let them go.
- A divided self will only bring ruin
- Believe me.
- Even with the best intentions.
- If you’re having doubts…
- (sigh) What more can I do?
- Have I not given enough?
- To you… to Her… to all your kin?
- What now?
- You wish for something more?
- But perhaps… I may still play my part.
- For I have done something terrible.
- I am but a shadow… of a waning flame.
- I’ll need your help.
- What more can I do?
- But it only made matters worse.
- I once made a prison… of sorts.
- Split from eternity.
- You see… I am but one of many.
- … to contain my fractured selves.
- A needle for the infinite threads of eternity.
- Be careful.
- Buried it in a terrible place.
- But it will not open.
- Even you, Harbinger, may not be ready.
- I hid it from myself.
- I'm afraid I lack the strength to reclaim it.
- Not unless you bear the key.
- The prison… looks like a mere censer.
The Reunion (35)
- Come.
- It’s your future versus mine.
- Strike me.
- What are you waiting for?
- No... there's another way.
- There is no you without me.
- What do you think you’re doing?
- And I was certain… I could change you…
- But I was wrong.
- I thought I could save the Foundling.
- We’ve all gone astray.
- … remake you.
- There’s only one way to end this.
- … the censer.
- We are as you made us.
- But we need you… your certainty.
- For whatever the future holds.
- What will you do with me?
- You need us.
- Your faith.
- I am… infinity.
- I was the first to sip from the Twiceborn’s cup.
- You can't kill me.
- Go ahead, sester.
- Test fate.
- And if I have my own future?
- And it is mine.
- I do as fate requires.
- One vision. One truth.
- There is but one future.
- Unlike you.
- What have you done, sester?
- I… I’ve gone astray… somehow.
- Look at me.
- What… why spare me?
Return To Fallgrim (20)
- (long sigh)
- How long has it been?
- Please, come with me then… to your sanctum.
- Since you... saw me?
- You really don’t know?
- Where’d they take you, Tiel?
- Who goes there?
- Is… this a test, High Sester?
- Oh… it’s you High Sester…
- What an honor.
- What are you doing here?
- Sester?
- Vlas?
- … anyone?
- 'Twas my father’s father who first served you.
- I… I am your humble servant.
- Surely, you remember?
- This… “High Sester”?
- W-what? … of course.
- You serve her?
Memory (19)
- Behold.
- It's... just as I first dreamed.
- Our work is done.
- The Ascension is complete.
- And what if we're wrong?
- Have faith, sester.
- Or… deceived? Or…?
- We mustn't interfere.
- We should help him.
- You know how this path unfolds.
- Look, sester.
- The end is near.
- (gasps)
- I've... seen something terrible.
- The Foundling—he can't—
- We all have, sester.
- What do you think you're doing?
- You don't understand.
- I won't just stand here.
Interact Tiel (12)
- ...
- He still smells like a miscreant.
- I hope he finds peace… in your care.
- I hope he knows I’m sorry.
- I should have done more.
- Is there still some fight left in him?
- May I… embrace him for a moment?
- No
- There must be.
- To protect him…
- Yes
- … from us.
