In the next room, we encountered a group of soldiers attacking some commoners. We fought them off, then saw another vision.
Alyxian:
There are bright spots amidst the ruins. Beauty. Kindness.
The baker sheltered Alyxian, slipping him tarts and saying that betrayers' blood was no reason to mistreat a child.
The next room gave us a vision of a group of women who once sheltered Alyxian. Their home was destroyed, full of corpses.
Alyxian asked us to help him remember their names.
- One was Celeste Zenthis, the scentmaker.
- Another was Marissa, the baker.
- The third was Meri, the warrior.
Their ghosts appeared and confronted us, but we argued for Alyxian's youth, ignorance, and innocence, and they were more understanding and wished him well.
The Crawling King's horde came for them, and I was not there to save them. Yet… they forgave me. Was that truly all it took?
Then Fanfare touched a magic light, we fought a fish thingy, and avoided some jellyfish thingies.
