Speaker 1: Introquest created by Michael Freiberg, a production of iHeartRadio and
Speaker 1: Astro Media. Listen with headphones for three D audio. I
Speaker 1: can't believe we recover the satellite from the molair even
Speaker 1: if it's broken in three pieces? Can we get it?
Speaker 1: There's no stop at us now? How should we proceed
Speaker 1: from here? Head straight to the lighthouse drop off point
Speaker 1: at the other end of the desert. Celebrate our accomplishment
Speaker 1: with a rousing night of adventure. Log stop for woon pop,
Speaker 1: make sand bath or do you want to rest? All
Speaker 1: I want to do now is take it slow, fight
Speaker 1: somewhere peaceful and rest. O. Okay, rest is a good option.
Speaker 1: Rest serious astrom what part of take its slow and
Speaker 1: find somewhere peaceful? Arrest? Don't you understand? Should we follow him? Either?
Speaker 1: Yea logo? Come on serious, I will hold you down
Speaker 1: and pull your eyelids shut if that's what it takes
Speaker 1: to get some rest around here? Rest? Either he's found
Speaker 1: a place? What down there? Interesting? I wouldn't have expected
Speaker 1: to come across such exotic topography in the desert, Yet
Speaker 1: here we are standing at the brink of a massive crater.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's quiet at the bottom well, given
Speaker 1: the crater's convexity and desolate expanse, I suppose so right,
Speaker 1: last one down to the crater's center, cuddles the serious.
Speaker 1: Tonight's ah ah, quit me. We'll set up camp here
Speaker 1: at the crater's Serious, gather some stones off the ground
Speaker 1: and get a fire going for warm Yeah, how're cooking? Logo,
Speaker 1: Come join us. I don't know how you do the rest.
Speaker 1: We have yet to come up with a satisfactory explanation
Speaker 1: as to why the craters here in the first place.
Speaker 1: Doesn't it strike you both? Is odd? Logo? Tonight, I'll
Speaker 1: leave the big questions for you and Serious to worry about. Mentally,
Speaker 1: I am checking out. Serious, Put that scrap metal down.
Speaker 1: You don't know where it's from or what it's doing here. Serious,
Speaker 1: snow and Serious, no white hole here too. You do
Speaker 1: drop it before you injure yourself. For all we know,
Speaker 1: it could be left over strapnel from who knows what
Speaker 1: this steal from CFS blade of ancient warrior Princess Flora
Speaker 1: see steal rank from blood of enemies that's called rusts.
Speaker 1: Serious and say you cut yourself and it gets infected,
Speaker 1: How are we supposed to get you help down here.
Speaker 1: Tell me about Flora Ether he's just making up a story.
Speaker 1: No story true. From Cyrisian legend Flora most fearless warrior
Speaker 1: in all of land. Most men hide behind shield in battle.
Speaker 1: Flora fight with two blades and spin like store were impressive.
Speaker 1: Mm Flora leader of great warrior tribe called Nomad's tribe
Speaker 1: of First Leaf. Here here is where they find desert
Speaker 1: paradise here in oasis. What do you think this was
Speaker 1: an oasis? Plants, food, water all here, This hole we
Speaker 1: stand in filled with water. Seriously, this barren crater could
Speaker 1: hardly be classified as an oasis. M oasis, no war
Speaker 1: because most savage beasts known to world once lived here.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what's that? Oculus occulus from ancient warrior history.
Speaker 1: Oculus one eyed cyclops, size of ten men, strength of hundred.
Speaker 1: Nobody stands chance. He eats greatest warriors two at a time,
Speaker 1: and wear bones as jewelry. It's flesh now like us
Speaker 1: either his body hard as rock, sharpest blades snap like
Speaker 1: twig against skin, even against oculus eye. Only weakness is
Speaker 1: soft spot on top of oculus head way out of
Speaker 1: mortal reach and Nomad's h they come here to Oculus,
Speaker 1: home in oasis, one of the finding swimming in mos
Speaker 1: a gray bottle. I drink to my bellies full. I've
Speaker 1: been through my heart's contents. I am a happy sidecom
Speaker 1: Homy rambles sounds like he's time for dinner. Let's see
Speaker 1: what's on the menu for tonight, Hot Flora. We've journeyed
Speaker 1: too far in the desert. Are no mad. People's face
Speaker 1: thirst and starvation be spirits grow weak. Unless we turn
Speaker 1: back now, this will be the end of our tribe.
Speaker 1: Elder one, This isn't the end. This is only the beginning,
Speaker 1: No mad. When you joined me on this expedition, I
Speaker 1: promised you drink till you're drenched, food till you're plump,
Speaker 1: and riches beyond your wildest dreams. Some of you lost
Speaker 1: faith along the ways, But today my promise is fulfilled.
Speaker 1: Just beyond these desert dunes lies our oasis, the whole paradise.
Speaker 1: Here here, Flora has led us to the promised land.
Speaker 1: Raise your swords, lift your shields, no man, three strikes
Speaker 1: of your shield to Flora's honor. Put away your swords
Speaker 1: and shields. There will be time for celebration later. Now
Speaker 1: come our oasis. Await, Laura. Food has never been so filling,
Speaker 1: water has never tasted so refreshing, and the richest gold
Speaker 1: has never shine so bright. My kin, your delight fills
Speaker 1: me with joy. May we reap the spoils of our
Speaker 1: journey for now and all of eternity. Laura, it's not
Speaker 1: safe here. There are signs that leads me to believe
Speaker 1: we are unwelcome visitors in another's home. This is one
Speaker 1: home I don't mind, Sherry, but not just anyone lives here.
Speaker 1: I am afraid we may have stumbled into the home
Speaker 1: of a cyclops elder one. You've said before, our people
Speaker 1: have roamed the desert for far too long. You're right,
Speaker 1: but there's enough here for all to prosper. Have you
Speaker 1: no respect for the hollowed law? Cyclopsis are the most
Speaker 1: hostile beasts in all the leads. If the Cyclops doesn't
Speaker 1: see eye to eye, my blades will talk for me.
Speaker 1: You must listen. Taken break up person in half with
Speaker 1: his hands of weapons cannot pierce his body. No mortal
Speaker 1: enemy has ever defeated the Cyclops in battle. No mad
Speaker 1: be on high alert. Take cover where you can find it, Flora,
Speaker 1: what's going on? We're expecting company. No, mad you heard her.
Speaker 1: Drop what you're doing and retreat behind the nearest boulder,
Speaker 1: a tall tree, high God, that was a fine tasty meal. Ivo.
Speaker 1: It was a bore of a vitough bore thing. I
Speaker 1: nearly his fold at home. Ah, I can't wait to washington.
Speaker 1: That was some cold refreshing water. Wait a minute, someone's
Speaker 1: been in my garden and they're still here. Are you, Marculus,
Speaker 1: ruler of these lands? Good? Does enter my sacred then
Speaker 1: come out? Come out wherever you are, or I'll find
Speaker 1: you any jew, I'll follow you all, Laura, we cannot
Speaker 1: fide for long Beast as it stands. If we divide
Speaker 1: into groups and make a run for it, at least
Speaker 1: some may escape with their lives. No, that's the coward's way.
Speaker 1: I'll speak to Oculus. You'll have to get his attention first.
Speaker 1: What that tackles? Who goes there? Oculus? I am Flora Warrior,
Speaker 1: princess of the Nomad's conqueror of great beasts. Do I
Speaker 1: have your attention? Yes, you have it, and you have
Speaker 1: a broken blade as well. I lay my second blade
Speaker 1: on the ground, a hollow gesture. May I approach? Approach,
Speaker 1: little wol My people have traveled a great distance across
Speaker 1: this desert. This land is rich and bountiful. We only
Speaker 1: ask for enough food and water to spend the night,
Speaker 1: and we'll be on our way before sunrise. Oh you'll
Speaker 1: be lucky if I let you spend the night as
Speaker 1: fertilizer in my garden. And I have one final proposal
Speaker 1: to offer. Please consider it carefully. We don't want to
Speaker 1: hurt you. You hurt me. That's like a fleet hurting
Speaker 1: a bear. Though you do look a bit gamy. After
Speaker 1: I eat you, I wonder if you'll hurt me with
Speaker 1: a Tommy egg. You're folly amuses me. Calmly, I shall
Speaker 1: extend ahead, step upon my palm, and I wish you
Speaker 1: up level so we may speak face to face. Oculus,
Speaker 1: you are big and strong. I know, mad people, we
Speaker 1: are great warriors. But here before you plead as humble.
Speaker 1: I have laid down my blade on the desert floor
Speaker 1: and approached unarmed. Reconsider what I asked before, or we
Speaker 1: will be forced to end your life. You know your
Speaker 1: puny weapons cannot hurt me unless you reach the spot
Speaker 1: at my tippy tippy top. Then you and your friends
Speaker 1: will go squishy squishes. What indeed, I tell you, no
Speaker 1: moral has ever reached a soft spot atop a cyclops.
Speaker 1: Very well, you leave us no other choice like please,
Speaker 1: you shall feast on your rotting carcass starting with your
Speaker 1: high No man, I lead the charge into battle. You've
Speaker 1: come with me this far, William fight beside me once again?
Speaker 1: We fight together as one. Then today we earn our
Speaker 1: prepare for comb fighting with the break formations around the flights,
Speaker 1: me writing the trip wires to attack the BFI's lengths.
Speaker 1: I need to take my place to front. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: my command, you commence the pendulum strike. Now silence, where
Speaker 1: are you bet your boo? I will dine on your
Speaker 1: flesh and drink a puard of every last one of you.
Speaker 1: First quadrant, now, third quadrant. Go yeah, a good quadrant.
Speaker 1: Try one quadrant, So, Laura, the trichoire is secure. The
Speaker 1: piece's legs are locked to weathers, ready on account to
Speaker 1: pull the wires topped three. Two, Why the great Syclops,
Speaker 1: Laculus and you Oculus are at my mercy? Take it old,
Speaker 1: Please say that we will keep not we will Then
Speaker 1: Flora and Nomad's take water and reaches from oasis and
Speaker 1: continued journey conquering more great beasts across land, until one
Speaker 1: day no more beasts but for conquering, and no man's
Speaker 1: realized only beasts left is damn And for this day weep,
Speaker 1: weep and weep, but kill o water. They don't promoculus,
Speaker 1: they cry out and tears turn into world's ocean, seas
Speaker 1: and lakes. Serious, don't be sad. It's a beautiful story.
Speaker 1: I agree, despite the glaring logical inconsistencies that tall tale
Speaker 1: could move anyone to tears serious, no cry serious, have
Speaker 1: sand denied like oculus and no insistency story true? Well,
Speaker 1: for one, tears are naturally sale. So while hypothetically the
Speaker 1: nomad's tears could be the source of the world salty
Speaker 1: oceans and seas, how do you account for the formation
Speaker 1: of fresh bodies of water? Yeah? And why would the
Speaker 1: nomads leave so soon from an oasis they were trying
Speaker 1: so hard to find in the first place. To explain
Speaker 1: that serious no care serious no in hart story true,
Speaker 1: I don't see how you can argue with that logic. Logic,
Speaker 1: what logic? It's missing every component of a sound logical argument.
Speaker 1: You know, have better greater story, Actually I do. While
Speaker 1: you were carrying on about the Cyrisian legend. I noticed
Speaker 1: the marking on the southern perimeter. Follow me, take a
Speaker 1: look at this. What is it? Shure animal in rock? Close?
Speaker 1: It's a fossil. I've never observed anything quite like it before,
Speaker 1: but it appears to be the imprint of a prehistoric creature,
Speaker 1: degraded over time by weathering and erosion. What's strange is
Speaker 1: that it looks more like a stained outline than an impression.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what other than a fossil could
Speaker 1: result in this mark on the surface's exterior. Serious never
Speaker 1: see animal like that before. Technically, if you have, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? Well, the impression looks like an amalgamation
Speaker 1: of organic constructs. This can happen during diagenesis. Diagenesis the
Speaker 1: physical and chemical changes exhibited in rocks as a result
Speaker 1: of exposure to extreme temperatures and pressure. It can preserve
Speaker 1: an impression, but often distorts the figure. So what well?
Speaker 1: At first, I wasn't sure what to make of this.
Speaker 1: It could be a combination of creatures, an ancient ancestor,
Speaker 1: or even the missing link between serious and modern man.
Speaker 1: But the more I thought about it, the more it
Speaker 1: became clear. To me that the fossil source could only
Speaker 1: be one thing, the contour Quava. The contour Quava. It
Speaker 1: lives deep below the surface and is unlike any other
Speaker 1: creature known to us. It has the head of a fawn,
Speaker 1: body of a person, and stands upright on goatlike hind legs,
Speaker 1: moving swiftly with the poisoned grace of a ballerina that
Speaker 1: sounds like a hoax. There are countless purported sightings and
Speaker 1: alleged accounts to support the existence of this majestic creature,
Speaker 1: though unfortunately none of the evidence is thus far verifiable.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean it's not true. Serious light to
Speaker 1: meet contour Quava. No, you wouldn't. The contour Quava is
Speaker 1: a hideous beast. It has alien like ruby red slits
Speaker 1: for eyes, a serpent tongue that's always hissing and clicking
Speaker 1: as it scans for prey, and twin serrated antlers atop
Speaker 1: its head the size of anvils. They scrape against the
Speaker 1: cave ceiling as it walks. Six golden spikelike books line
Speaker 1: its back, and it has cloven hooves for feet. Oh
Speaker 1: and did I mention the spiral mark on its forehead?
Speaker 1: That glows crimson red in the dark. Log stop, you're
Speaker 1: scaring serious. The contour Aquava's appearance is the last thing
Speaker 1: he should be afraid of. It's nothing compared to its voice.
Speaker 1: The contra Quava's voice is said to possess a magical
Speaker 1: quality when it opens its those who hear its call
Speaker 1: fall under a trance like state as they're hypnotized by
Speaker 1: its ballerina tippy toe dance. Hidden in the notes of
Speaker 1: its siren song are believed to be the truth to
Speaker 1: all the world's secrets. That's ridiculous. And I thought you
Speaker 1: said it lives underground. Why wouldn't have been down here
Speaker 1: in this crater. It must have been uncovered during a
Speaker 1: mining expedition, which brings me to the only logical conclusion
Speaker 1: as to the crater's origin. This crater we're standing in
Speaker 1: is all that remains of an open pit mine mining.
Speaker 1: What exactly desert diamonds, sandstones, black opal and I'm afraid
Speaker 1: they dug too deep. Drill hit a snag again. Warman
Speaker 1: Stone's not going to be happy, bottle Stone. The drill
Speaker 1: must have caught on something could be opals. Why did
Speaker 1: you say the black of the better get the digging
Speaker 1: Sapphire Lazily, give me a hand here, sure thing, Amber Sapphire,
Speaker 1: got your pickaxe already? Headye, Captain Amber Lasily aloud clear
Speaker 1: the debris. It's not oples it's a hole. No an
Speaker 1: entrance too bad at least four and Stone can't say
Speaker 1: we didn't try. Yeah, No use fooling around here and
Speaker 1: getting ourselves hurt or in trouble. Ladies, We're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: We've just hit pay dirt. Amber, slow down. We can't
Speaker 1: go in there. There's no telling how deep the hole
Speaker 1: goes or what's even down there exactly. The potential's unlimited.
Speaker 1: That's the best part. Come on, Or had to go
Speaker 1: down the hall. She just had to go down the hall.
Speaker 1: We might find something valuable down there. Besides, can't let
Speaker 1: Amber go alone regretless? Right, where are you? Okay, get
Speaker 1: back here and get me those shappy Lazily got a
Speaker 1: match for my lantern here, one for yours and one
Speaker 1: for mine. At least I always travel prepared. What was
Speaker 1: that I heard something hiss? You? Probably just to match you? Thanks?
Speaker 1: Whoa check it out? Okay, painting, I'm just some drawn
Speaker 1: ages ago by early man. Just think of the answers
Speaker 1: to life's greatest mysteries. We'll find out here, untouched by
Speaker 1: modern hands and just waiting to be discovered. I've never
Speaker 1: seen such exquisite detail captured in painting before. You can
Speaker 1: make out the sheer awe on each person's face as
Speaker 1: they run towards that haven in the light. Good. What's
Speaker 1: that thing they're running from? Whatever it is? Ship True's
Speaker 1: hugly looks deformed, must be their own version of form
Speaker 1: and stone central tone branches off in the discrete past
Speaker 1: like an underground lab. You know. Being down violates all
Speaker 1: mining safety protocol which are put into place to protect
Speaker 1: us from ending up in situations precisely like this, and
Speaker 1: we're breaking them voluntarily of our own volition. We've just
Speaker 1: discovered and as of yet unknown underground world full of
Speaker 1: untold treasures, hidden knowledge, buried secrets, forgotten truths lost to time.
Speaker 1: Turn back if you want, I'm forging forward as right
Speaker 1: be the side of a lifetime. Fine, at least let's
Speaker 1: stay together this way. I heard something lazily quick complaining
Speaker 1: which try to at least enjoy the adventure. But I
Speaker 1: wasn't saying anything sapphire me neither. Then? Who is the
Speaker 1: words seem to float through the air and rush past
Speaker 1: us like wind. Whoever speaking must be up ahead. Sh
Speaker 1: I've heard about this phenomenon before. Phantom whispers. Phantom whispers,
Speaker 1: they're fragments of words from conversation spoken hundreds of years
Speaker 1: ago by the ancients who dwelled here. The acoustics of
Speaker 1: these caves have preserved their sound as echoes and trapping
Speaker 1: them in time from the bottom of this cavern where
Speaker 1: they lived. Slowly over the centuries, their words rise up
Speaker 1: through the tunnels to reach the surface, similar to how
Speaker 1: light from stars that died millions of years ago is
Speaker 1: just reaching us now. And do you know what that means?
Speaker 1: That we're easy dropping on ancient civilizations. And I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure they wouldn't be happy about this. That as we
Speaker 1: descend deeper into the bowels, it's like we're traveling back
Speaker 1: in time itself. If we can puzzle together a full transmission,
Speaker 1: who knows what secrets of the universe will unravel. We
Speaker 1: have to keep going, We have to reach the source tremors.
Speaker 1: We've gone too deep. We have to go back now,
Speaker 1: for it's too late. What it's what I can't I
Speaker 1: can't it's fun. Attention, its foment arms. What are we waiting?
Speaker 1: I don't leave the glowing mark of the crimson spiral
Speaker 1: on its forehead, the contra que buff it's real. I
Speaker 1: have to follow it. I have to learn the secrets
Speaker 1: of its song. If you taste that thing into the abyss,
Speaker 1: you'll only lose yourself. She's right, you can have my
Speaker 1: share of the opals one. We're done with the job. Please,
Speaker 1: let's just turned back. It's not adopt the opals. It
Speaker 1: was never about the opals. Don't you understand. We're at
Speaker 1: the precipice of all that is known and all that
Speaker 1: is hidden. The monumental truths that we stand to uncover
Speaker 1: will bring forth a new era of enlightenment and forever
Speaker 1: change the course of life as it stands. I have
Speaker 1: to go after it ever lively. Go to the service
Speaker 1: and get out. I'll track down am No way forget prtocol.
Speaker 1: We'll find her together. Okay, where to go? She could
Speaker 1: have disappear down any one of these tunnels. This way
Speaker 1: we have to go. We sealed off from her, managed
Speaker 1: to clear a path in the rocks. Amber won't last
Speaker 1: the night. On the other side of this Caden. That's
Speaker 1: if she's even still alive. Don't talk like that. You're
Speaker 1: not giving up at her all that. Ever, we'll get
Speaker 1: you out, even if it takes us all night. We
Speaker 1: won't stop until no stone is left a drunk Sapphire,
Speaker 1: help me clear some box. You have to create a
Speaker 1: passage for airflow. What we're not meant to know? Me
Speaker 1: some secrets of the universe are getting open and not
Speaker 1: for us to understand. I don't know. I don't tend
Speaker 1: to find up. Yes, that should find some airflow, Stamphire,
Speaker 1: don't block the opening. Ever, can you hear me? If
Speaker 1: you can hear me, walk towards my words, stay focused
Speaker 1: on clearing the rocks. Ever, ever is that you? I
Speaker 1: think I see her do the opening slip last one,
Speaker 1: pass me the lantern. We can find a way to
Speaker 1: reach her if you could just listen to me. Ever,
Speaker 1: follow the sound of my We're going to get you
Speaker 1: out of here. Nothing never look closer. I can almost
Speaker 1: make out her face. Ember, it's you. What's that mark
Speaker 1: on your forehead? The red spiral neber Amber is no longer.
Speaker 1: I have spoken the words to unlock the master door.
Speaker 1: I have learned two It's beyond the conscious mind. I've
Speaker 1: experienced the sound of silence, the color of darkness, the
Speaker 1: size of the infinite. But what I could never have
Speaker 1: imagined is that the path to enlightenment has always been
Speaker 1: concealed within How twisted is reality, and that the true
Speaker 1: nature of exists it at once at our fingertips get
Speaker 1: always just beyond our grass amber. We're not meant to understand.
Speaker 1: We're not meant to know the secrets. Coming here was
Speaker 1: a mistake. This was no mistake. Down here, I have
Speaker 1: communed with the cosmes. I have stared into the soul
Speaker 1: of the sun and witnessed its blinding rays of light.
Speaker 1: There's no return, there never was. This is can't be truth.
Speaker 1: I would accept it. Then you must hear for yourself
Speaker 1: what is hidden shall always be buried. List him and
Speaker 1: learn the truth. I'm never mind your mockery. Now that
Speaker 1: we've come together in agreement as to why the crater
Speaker 1: is here, I suppose we can finally get some rest. Yeah. Right,
Speaker 1: your story has all the credibility of a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1: It's full of holes bigger than the crater worth standing in.
Speaker 1: No such thing as contour quava. Well, you'd believe me
Speaker 1: if you heard its call. But I understand it's hard
Speaker 1: for lesser minds to fathom abstract concepts such as forbidden knowledge. Fine,
Speaker 1: the mystery of the crater's origin will forever remain unsolved.
Speaker 1: Have it your way, Uh, I think I found what
Speaker 1: caused the crater, or at least what's left of this.
Speaker 1: Either that rock come from ground to probably black opal
Speaker 1: from the open pit mine. No, this is something entirely different. Well,
Speaker 1: let me take a look. I suppose rocks go. It's
Speaker 1: not uninteresting. It is a green clash like appearance. Hard
Speaker 1: to say if it's igneas sedimentary, or metamorphic. You don't
Speaker 1: come across the specimen like this every day, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's particularly special. Keep it as a souvenir.
Speaker 1: You're both wrong, and whatever made this crater, it wasn't
Speaker 1: monster or machine. It came from the night sky. Joseph,
Speaker 1: my father, it's time we must leave now. Our people
Speaker 1: look to you for guidance. What is the meaning of
Speaker 1: this ceremony? Blood magic? Father? You can't, My dear daughter,
Speaker 1: you should not have entered my tent unannounced that the
Speaker 1: final plague, the Plague of Eternal Night, has begun. It
Speaker 1: envelops our city comat in total darkness. I know, and father,
Speaker 1: do you not hear the bells tolling for us? Listen
Speaker 1: to their chimes, Gay, sound like the most heavenly music
Speaker 1: to my ears. Taar, my daughter, I do not hear
Speaker 1: the music. But Darren rings the bells of freedom. He
Speaker 1: has promised to let our people go. Yes, yes, that
Speaker 1: is all very well. We shall finally be free from
Speaker 1: his tyranny and oppression. We must leave from Huxlaris under
Speaker 1: cover of darkness to receive our lord's commandments. Tar, my,
Speaker 1: dear child, you do not know Farn like I do.
Speaker 1: He is a diabolical man. He murdered his own father
Speaker 1: for the throne. He slaughtered his own son in a
Speaker 1: fit of rage. Only a fool would believe fair On
Speaker 1: will honor his promise to free our people. But Arkhan,
Speaker 1: our cold, watches over us. Arkhan watches over us. Will
Speaker 1: our lord watch over us as we wander the desert,
Speaker 1: as we scavenge the sand for scraps, daughter, This is
Speaker 1: our land, Kumat is our home. When we are but
Speaker 1: not even one hundred steps from here, Pharaon will send
Speaker 1: his soldiers to hunt us down and slay us Where
Speaker 1: we stand, Ar Khan will protect us, just as he
Speaker 1: set the plagues upon Kumat. He will deliver us to
Speaker 1: freedom and show us the way to salvation. When Phaon
Speaker 1: brains a hail of arrows across the sky, when he
Speaker 1: sends his hounds to smite us, when his stones a
Speaker 1: fire stormed down upon us, How will our Khan protect us? Then?
Speaker 1: Can we truly put our faith in that? Ar Khan
Speaker 1: may have answered recent prayers, but where was he or
Speaker 1: the lost generations who lived and died as slaves under Pharaoh?
Speaker 1: How can you say such things? Because we must take
Speaker 1: our people's future into our own hands, forge our own path,
Speaker 1: fight fire with fire, You do not such vile things. Father.
Speaker 1: Now I must return to our people, my daughter. Just
Speaker 1: as there are the powerful forces of good in this world,
Speaker 1: there are even greater forces of evil. Once you know
Speaker 1: that to be true, you will understand the choices that
Speaker 1: have been made. Tonight, go now, I will join our
Speaker 1: people's But there is work to maloon Supreme being of
Speaker 1: the infirm Fallen key of arc by Joseph Prime Elder
Speaker 1: of the Archonite Summon, you please accept my mother, I
Speaker 1: ask her brain hell fire down on Kumat, burn the
Speaker 1: city to the ground, and turn its people to ash.
Speaker 1: Where ar conveiled us with his restraint, show no mercy
Speaker 1: in your fund. In return, our people will worship you
Speaker 1: at your altar and pledge our souls to your come out.
Speaker 1: Arconnights ahead. Arcon's light ray of light cuts through the darkness,
Speaker 1: shining our cap forward to celeration dark. I'm here, father,
Speaker 1: is all set right? Yes, my DearS, it goes out,
Speaker 1: will secondarkness. We will never reach my solaris arconas We
Speaker 1: must keep going. We mustn't lose our faith. Look, a
Speaker 1: giant Afar will be no more good Sue that is
Speaker 1: a miracle has heard our affairs and sent a miracle.
Speaker 1: I am sure of it. We have nothing to fear
Speaker 1: now in our home. Com't that right, father, Yes, dart
Speaker 1: it is an act of divine retribution for those who
Speaker 1: held doubts. Take his wrath as affirmation of your belief.
Speaker 1: No longer must be run from our homeland like refugees
Speaker 1: from the ashes. We will rise again, Argantes, by the
Speaker 1: grace of our Lord. We shall rebuild. Food will be plentiful,
Speaker 1: Our defense is supreme, and we will create a land
Speaker 1: worthy to call our home. We start tonight and we
Speaker 1: do it as free people. Here Father, I've received word
Speaker 1: that the rebuild has been progressing faster than planned. Arkan's
Speaker 1: divine blessing must still be with us. That's good to hear, Tahar.
Speaker 1: But the heads of the different rebuilds are expected to
Speaker 1: arrive with updates very well. But to her, for the
Speaker 1: good of my conscience, I must confess to you something
Speaker 1: from that night on the father that must begin eat
Speaker 1: head of the harvest. She will have news to share. Yes,
Speaker 1: it will be good to hear from her, Tahar. Joseph,
Speaker 1: I bring with me great news. The seeds we so
Speaker 1: just last night have already grown into plants ten feet tall,
Speaker 1: with crops right for a feast. It is truly a
Speaker 1: blessing from Arkhan. Father, that is tremendous. We shall have
Speaker 1: enough mood to last us through the cold season. Yes, yes, go,
Speaker 1: please have a sink, Tohr. Wait outside, of course, Father,
Speaker 1: these plants they're grow It's unnatural, surely you jest, for
Speaker 1: how can that be? It is one of our CON's miracles.
Speaker 1: We gathered the soil from where the meteorites struck and
Speaker 1: planted our seeds in this divine dirt. You did what please?
Speaker 1: I understand you may be skeptical, so let me show
Speaker 1: you in my bag. I've brought with me a gift,
Speaker 1: a cornucopia of our ripest cross. Won't you try some?
Speaker 1: Thank you? But I'm not hungry. Do the others outside
Speaker 1: the farm know about this? Of course? Of course we've
Speaker 1: already begun distributing the harvest among the villagers. And what's more,
Speaker 1: consuming these crops comes with a deeper blessing beyond just
Speaker 1: their nourishment. What is this? You referred to? The music,
Speaker 1: the beautiful music. Don't you hear the heavenly sounds? I
Speaker 1: do not hear the music. You must go now, I
Speaker 1: must think you'll hear the music, Joseph, you'll hear. Who
Speaker 1: is it? Father, the master blacksmith Gideon is here? Send
Speaker 1: him in Ah, Joseph, what a fine day in Kumat? Indeed, Gideon,
Speaker 1: How goes the development of our weapon? Supply it is blessed,
Speaker 1: truly blessed. Our armory is nearly fully stocked. Truly, how so,
Speaker 1: thanks to a new discovery black metal, black metal, it
Speaker 1: has allowed us to make weapons that are indestructible. With it,
Speaker 1: we will conquer all threats to our people. That is
Speaker 1: impossible my reaction at first as well. But here I
Speaker 1: bring you a present, A saber worthy of a great leader.
Speaker 1: Black metal, Where did you find it? We forge these
Speaker 1: swords out of iron that came from the meteorite itself.
Speaker 1: At first, the metal seemed so foreign to my hands.
Speaker 1: I didn't think I could crack. But the more I
Speaker 1: worked with it, the closer I felt to Arka, this
Speaker 1: is an abom nation. Dispose of every last blade made
Speaker 1: from it. Ah, but we've already armed all the soldiers.
Speaker 1: Thanks to ark On, our protection is now guaranteed. And
Speaker 1: what's more, working with this metal has shown me the
Speaker 1: hidden depths of its composition. Don't you hear the beautiful music?
Speaker 1: I do not hear the music. Now out, I want
Speaker 1: you out to take a referral weapon. You'll hear it. Joseph,
Speaker 1: You'll hear it. Dar. Send in the next visitor, Dar, Dar.
Speaker 1: Where have you gone? Gideon? Have you seen to Horror?
Speaker 1: Has she come by the armory? Joseph? Won't you join
Speaker 1: us in celebration. We've just sacrificed our first foreign children,
Speaker 1: as instructed by the music of our coon, whoa good wait, Joseph,
Speaker 1: you'll hear it. You'll hear it. Good, eat you must
Speaker 1: help me. Have you seen to hear at the farms? Joseph,
Speaker 1: my friend, how good to see you again? So soon? Good?
Speaker 1: What has happened to your limbs? They're nothing more than stumps?
Speaker 1: Who did this to you? Joseph? No one did this
Speaker 1: to me. I did it to myself. You did this?
Speaker 1: Have you lost your mind? It's all part of Arkon's
Speaker 1: master plan. We harvested the plants, and ate, and ate
Speaker 1: and ate, but it did not fill our stomachs one bit.
Speaker 1: But then we realized we were wrong for expecting nourishment
Speaker 1: from our harvest, for our con blessed us at birth
Speaker 1: with perfectly tender limbs. So one by one we devoured
Speaker 1: our own bodies, smiling and humming to our lord's song.
Speaker 1: Don't you hear it? Won't you? Sing along? I? I
Speaker 1: do not hear the music? Please please, Joseph, sing along? Please?
Speaker 1: I must go sing sing? Oh? What have I done?
Speaker 1: I must reach the side where the media fell, the
Speaker 1: place where the solid began, and put an end to
Speaker 1: this evil. At once dark, at last I found you
Speaker 1: at the great role spire. What is the meaning of
Speaker 1: this madness, My father, how blessed we are for you
Speaker 1: to join us in worship with this infernal fire we
Speaker 1: honor our Lord at the holy sight where our concert
Speaker 1: us free. Don't you hear the music? Are you hearing?
Speaker 1: I hear the music? Cans into the fire, my lord,
Speaker 1: I'm coming home. That was a somber story. Their story,
Speaker 1: no fun, terrible story. I never said I had a
Speaker 1: happy ending. I'm ready to get some sleep. Now, sleep
Speaker 1: after that. You give serious bad dreams? All right, you
Speaker 1: can sleep next to me tonight. Serious? Oh, keep you safe.
Speaker 1: We'll go. You stand up until you solve the mystery
Speaker 1: behind the crater. Actually, I was just thinking about how
Speaker 1: sleeping adjacent to someone can raise body heat as an
Speaker 1: effective safety measure against hypothermia. And it is chilly out tonight. Okay,
Speaker 1: come on, get in here. Maybe all our stories are wrong,
Speaker 1: maybe bits and pieces of them are true. Or maybe
Speaker 1: the answer will come to us in our sleep. Who knows,
Speaker 1: And maybe that's how it's meant to be. I'm I
Speaker 1: supposed to sleep with this intquest created by Michael Freiberg,
