88 84 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_201 Well now, that is quite a tremendous tale... If I may, I shall attempt to recount it in my own words, the better to reflect upon the events for song.
89 85 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_202 A century past, the hero Ardbert fought and felled the Ascian Mitron. By the power of Light, the villain's body was transformed into Eden, the first sin eater, who unleashed the Flood of Light that engulfed the First.
90 86 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_203 Despite being locked in a stupor, Mitron mustered the strength to call from the prison that was his vessel, in the desperate hope of reaching his fallen comrade, Loghrif. And reach Loghrif he finally did, in her reincarnated form as the maiden Gaia.
91 87 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_204 From a young age, Gaia had heard Mitron's voice in her mind. She referred to it as “the faerie,” and there were times when it even took over her consciousness.
92 88 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_205 And be it by chance or by fate, Eden's subsequent awakening by Ryne, the Oracle of Light, led to Gaia's appearance in the Empty, where the two maidens first encountered each other.
93 89 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_206 At length, Mitron restored Loghrif's memories in Gaia, and the two Ascians returned once more. But in no small part due to your valor, the worst was prevented from coming to pass...
94 90 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_207 'Tis truly a stirring tale, and no moment of it more so than when Gaia lay on the verge of being erased. How beautiful to imagine that her memories of Ryne served as an anchor that kept her from fading away.
95 91 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_208 Yet as perfectly as that unfolded, I cannot help but wonder what might have happened if something else had gone awry. For instance, in the moment that Ryne roused Eden, what if Mitron had likewise reached out and interfered...?
96 92 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_209 Yes, I believe I have the makings of a song. One that speaks of a future that was not, yet may very well have been...
97 93 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_210 A villain dark a gaol did break, The Light to liberate.♪ A maiden pure her eyes unsure, He sought to change her fate.♪
98 94 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_211 Undying soul a gaol did flee, The Dark to stir awake.♪ A maiden lost to find once more, And good a promise make.♪
99 95 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_212 The First, a reflection that lay on the verge of annihilation by Light... Though I but speculate, many a tale must lie untold that steered its course.
100 96 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_213 As you tell it, the immortal Ascians were behind the calamities that befell the reflections.
101 97 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_214 If so, is it not a possibility that they, too, were responsible for the Flood of Light?
102 98 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_215 The Flood was then forestalled by the Oracle of Light, Minfilia, whose power was inherited by maidens after her. Souls who, by virtue of their gift, were destined to die fighting the sin eaters.
103 90 99 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_207 TEXT_CTSOPN70WANDERINGMINSTREL_00897_WANDERINGMINSTREL_000_216 'Tis truly a stirring tale, and no moment of it more so than when Gaia lay on the verge of being erased. How beautiful to imagine that her memories of Ryne served as an anchor that kept her from fading away. Theirs was a cruel path, but I wish to believe that they did not walk it alone. That someone stood with them, who sought to break the tragic wheel of fate.

For instance, in the moment that Ryne roused Eden, what if Mitron had likewise reached out and interfered...? Said someone might have been like them in some ways, yet the complete opposite in others. For instance...a maiden of like age, but who has ties to the Ascians─an Oracle of Darkness.
