Mini Trial #86 - Those Who Slither No Longer (Results)

[Sachi]

"And so the jury has spoken. Julius Loptous - No. Agarthan scum. I sentence you to the only punishment your kind deserves. Extermination."


The egoist lizard that posed as the Archbishop disappeared from the sight of her onlookers. In her place stood a gargantuan creature, like an immaculately demonic beast. Its horns curled down and forward, circling under its face and creating a portrait of ferocity from which stirred a powerful rage. 

The wall of the Cardinals' Room had broken to make way for the beast. It breathed smoke from its nostrils as easy as you and I breathe air. The students ran for cover. The professors protected their proteges. The knights stood at arms, prepared for battle. But the Dragon glared at only one in particular. Her pure white eyes shone through his soul. And then, without having to move her mouth, the Dragon spoke.

"FOR THE EVIL YOU'VE WROUGHT UNTO OUR WORLD, I CANNOT ALLOW YOUR KIND TO LIVE! YOU WILL DIE, AS WILL THOSE YOU HOLD CLOSE AND DEAR!"

The Dragon tilted back its head as a light shone through its terrible maw. The ground shook and trembled. The Cardinals' Room continued to fall apart, urged to do so ever harder by the strength this terrible being possessed. Power without any remorse. 

And then, the Dragon fired.



Julius Loptous, the boy who went missing, ultimately turned out to be...

INNOCENT

Now, that shouldn't have happened.

But if not that boy, then who, you wonder?

Who caused Garreg Mach to pull such a blunder?

Well, I won't tell you now, but he might say so himself,

Should you ever meet that fellow, size of an elf.

When it was all said and done, the Archbishop returned. Weary and fatigued, she was comforted by her closest knights, unaware of the Javelin hurtling toward her.

The Agarthan - the hero of our tale - taking pride in the victory, smiled a thoughtful smile. He would have no need for this guise any longer. 'Sven' took off his coat.


"And so it is done. Do not weep. Do not fear. This day will be remembered for eternity. The day my people took back their homeland, at long last. The scars your people gave us, Archbishop, will at last be tended to. 

Farewell."

And the hero retreated in a beam of pink light. 

With the Archbishop weary, there were none left to defend the Monastery. The Javelin of Light came down from the heavens, illuminating Garreg Mach, the valley, the mountain - all within a hundred miles, in the light of Agartha.
He had accomplished his mission. He had saved the world.

"And that, my children, is the tale of the mighty hero who reclaimed our world. He who shed the skin of tyranny, leading way for the next generation. You are they, my children. They who may feel the sunlight. They who may frolic, and dance, and play. And it is all thanks to him."


"Wow, Grandpa Solon! That story sure was cool!"


"Yeah! The hero was awesome! I hope he knows how much we'd like to thank him!


"Hohoho. I think he knows, children. I think he knows."
