94,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_000_317","I can but posit theories and conjecture, for I will never truly know of the indignity your family suffered. Nor can I speak on the alarming disparity between the nobles and commoners, even before Bozja succumbed to imperial rule."
95,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_100_317","As I understand, it was a country where the needs of the few outweighed those of the many. The wealthy were free to forge their own futures, while the poor were free only to die should they fail in their daily struggle to survive."
96,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_101_317","And even if some few nobles were opposed to the nation being governed by an oligarchy, their peers would never relinquish their power and wealth for the greater good."
97,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_102_317","While that Bozja is no more, I realize there are those among the Resistance who yearn for the halcyon days of their forebears, who would judge you based on your lineage rather than the content of your character."
98,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_103_317","Their voices are but echoes of a reprehensible past. You should understand better than anyone the future Bajsaljen and Marsak mean to build, a way forward paved with dignity and equality. Times change, Misija. People change."

100,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_319","I was ridiculed, marginalized, treated like an “other.” By the mere virtue of being highborn theirs was the righteous path, mine the immoral."

105,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_324","Perhaps I should tell you the tragedy of Queen Gunnhildr, and the great betrayal of her followers."
106,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_325","I'm sure you've heard the legends of Save the Queen."
107,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_000_326","The blessed blade that could only be wielded by Queen Gunnhildr. Yes, I've heard the tales."
108,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_000_327","When her kingdom came under attack during the Fourth Umbral Calamity, she brought the full might of the blade to bear to save her people, and in so doing, gave her own life."
109,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_000_328","A bittersweet end to her reign, but I fail to see what that has to do with anything."
110,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_329","Before the Fourth Umbral Calamity, Gunnhildr's Blades foresaw their coming doom. As the kingdom's acting political body, they saw it as their duty to save their people at any cost, and so devised a plan to save Bozja using the power of the holy blade."
111,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_330","The queen's body would serve as a conduit for the blade's power, allowing them to summon a god."
112,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_000_331","No... You don't mean...?"
113,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_332","A primal summoning, yes. Though perhaps it would be more fitting to call it an eikon. The blade was, after all, originally a relic stolen from the Allagans."
114,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_000_333","An eikon...heavens forfend."
115,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_334","There was one problem, however. The queen knew that, once she took in the power of this god, there would be no turning back. She was a coward, and despite her duty to protect the people, she chose her own life over theirs."
116,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_335","Yet Gunnhildr's Blades would not see their efforts come to naught. For they soon realized the sacrifice need not be the presently reigning queen. Nor did they need to be of noble blood."
117,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_336","And so a lowborn shrine maiden was chosen to ascend the throne. Obedient to a fault, she did not hesitate to give her life to forestall the coming Calamity."
118,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_337","Would that this tragic tale end there, but I'm afraid it takes a rather bloody turn."
119,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_338","You see, despite sacrificing herself to save Bozja, the new queen did not die, nor was she consumed by the eikon's power."
120,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_000_339","There was a woman of Ishgard, Ysayle, capable of such a feat. But to embrace the power of the eikon and retain her sense of self...that would mean this queen possessed the Echo."
121,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_340","And her power struck fear into the hearts of Gunnhildr's Blades, for a god now walked among them."
122,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_341","But rather than the puppet the Blades had wished for, she was pure and free, and for that, she was slain."
123,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_342","The Blades would not─could not─risk her discovering the truth of her ascension. That she was but a sacrificial lamb to save their highborn brethren."
124,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_343","They claimed the queen had gone mad, drunk with the god's power, leaving them no choice but to slay her. She was then buried, along with the blade, and the truth."
125,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_000_344","Where did you hear this?"
126,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_345","Let's just say it's a bit of family history."
127,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MEESIYA_000_346","Now, answer my question─how are you able to see the future?"
128,"TEXT_LUCKSA110_03950_MIKOTO_000_347","I... I don't know. I've never been able to use it of my own volition."
