Dialogue
Notte: Let's see. What does it say...?
Notte: "In Memory of King Alberius the Founder."
Cleo: He was a great leader. Such monuments are erected all across the kingdom.
Notte: Okay, so I know he founded Alberia, but what else did he do?
Cleo: *sigh* Has so much time passed that even faeries no longer remember?
Cleo: King Alberius did a great many things.
Cleo: Most notably, he was able to forge pacts with multiple dragons.
Cleo: You know the Six Greatwyrms, yes? Midgardsormr, Mercury, Brunhilda, Jupiter, Zodiark, and Chthonius.
Cleo: King Alberius led all of them in battle against the Dyrenell Empire.
Notte: "Dyrenell"? Seriously? Why didn't they just name themselves "Evildudes" and be done with it?
Notte: Okay, so they're bad guys. Got it. What did they do?
Notte: Ravage the land and pillage the people?
Cleo: Of course. That's what all evil empires do.
Cleo: But the people of Dyrenell were also worshippers of demons.
Cleo: And their greatest sin was resurrecting a terrible demon that has haunted this continent since antiquity.
Notte: They revived a demon?! Oh man, that's never good.
Cleo: It most definitely was not good. But King Alberius fought against that demon with all his might.
Cleo: The war raged for a very long time.
Cleo: But finally, the king managed to bind the demon's power once more.
Cleo: The struggle later became known as the Second War of Binding.
Notte: When was the First War of Binding?
Cleo: That is a much older story, one from the age of myth.
Cleo: The First War of Binding was when the goddess Ilia and the sacred dragon Elysium first sealed the demon's power.
Notte: It took a goddess AND a dragon to win? Cripes. This is one powerful demon.
Notte: But that means King Alberius was really powerful too, right? I mean, since he was just a normal mortal guy and all.
Cleo: Nothing about him was "normal," but yes— binding a being of such immense power was an incredible accomplishment.
Cleo: None are quite sure how he did it.
Notte: Hey, maybe the Sacred Shards we're looking for have something to do with it.
Cleo: I suppose it cannot be ruled out.
Cleo: However, the binding occurred in a single location, and the Shards are no longer there.
Cleo: So I suspect there was more to it than that.
Cleo: We do, however, know the name of the ritual King Alberius performed.
Notte: Oh yeah? What's that?
Cleo: It was called the Blood Casket.
Notte: What?! That sounds terrifying! What's in the casket? And why is it BLEEDING?!
Notte: Are you trying to give me nightmares? I'm already afraid of the dark!
Notte: Whenever I wake up at night to tinkle, I always make Zethia come with me.
Cleo: Wait. You...tinkle?
Cleo: I believe I just learned more about faeries than I cared to know.
