GLORY TO THE DREAMERS

< Well. >
< You've made it. >
< It seems the end is not too far. >
< It seems... like it- >

[??. ????]
- Excuse me, miss.

< What? >

[??. ????]
- I'm deeply sorry, but I seems to have gotten lost, and I need help finding my way back to my place in the castle.
- If you could, do you mind helping me find my way back?

Help the old man?
-> Yes      No

["Old Man"]
- Why thank you kindly, miss.
- Lead the way.

< You enter the castle. >
< Cue music. >

< The foyer looks almost mystical, the crystals giving an bright colorful shine. >
< It is... surprisingly empty, devoid of any people. >

["Old Man"]
- Ah, shoot.
- I used to know this place like the back of my hand.
- But hey, I'm getting on in the years, wah hah hah.
- I suppose you can lead the way for now.

< You take the leftmost path. >

< It leads to a long hallway, lined with plaques and portraits which have been vandalized beyond recognition. >
< However, there are a few you recognize. >

< UNDYNE ###### - Great Captain Of 20## >

["Old Man"]
- UNDYNE, I remember 'er.
- Rowdy one, ain't she.
- Wonder how she's doing.

< A###Y# ######### - Royal Scientist Of 20## >

["Old Man"]
- The royal scientist?
- Ah, I remember now.
- She was an anxious one, but a determined one at that.
- She... disappeared one day.
- Now everyone's pretending she never existed!
- Eh, people have their ways of coping.

< You recognize... two others. >
< These ones were vandalized the most, yet you can still make out something. >

< #S#O## DR##MU## - King Of Monsterkind 18## >
< A###E# ##E###R# - Prince Of Monsterkind 19## >
< M#y Th## R#st In Pi### >

< What is this. . . >

["Old Man"]
- Ah, the old king and prince.
- Lovely duo those two.
- They came down here without a clue of where they were.
- We took them in, with loving arms, which they gladly accepted.
- Treating them as our own, as we should, even if they did come from the surface.
- The old king, wonderful feller. We did quickly make him king without... properly thinking it through.
- Don't get me wrong, he did a great job ruling the kingdom.
- It's just...
- . . .No, you'll see.

< You leave the leftmost hallway, and head to the rightmost path. >

< It leads to, what... looks to be the remains of a dining room. >
< It looks, horribly trashed. >

["Old Man"]
- Here we are.
- Where it all happened.
- Y'see...

< The Old Man walked up to one of the chairs near the far end of the table. >

["Old Man"]
- This place used to be full of life, and energy.
- Until...
- A human, had fallen.
- The human was shown kindness, love, and compassion.
- We were used to humans underground, we wanted to be allies.
- However, this human, thought... otherwise.
- . . .
- The prince was the first.
- The human did not care as they went on to harm others.
- He, in a fit of rage, charred the human to ashes.
- Pure Humans are... stronger, than us monsters.
- Easily tearing us down one by one, until the king stepped in
- It was... a rough battle
- So, the king, with an inch of his life, still determined by unbridled rage.
- Got the final blow.
- The battle was over, yet the war was reignited.
- The king had instilled upon us, a new law.
- Humans were not to be trusted, and anyone showing a strong lineage of their kind.
- Would either be executed, or be held in captivity until further notice.
- It... was a very unfair law, all things considered.
- Yet, it felt right to everyone at the time.
- . . .
- It wasn't until... the king's disappearance, until things started calming down.
- They say he went crazy.
- They say he went to the surface for vengeance.
- They say he died.
- Crazy theories, all of them.
- But I know he's out there.
- . . .
- Y'know, he did try getting his son back.
- Worked tirelessly, to the point of exhaustion.
- He even forced anyone in the magic or science field to help.
- It was... a tough time to be in...
- . . .
- We should move on, miss.

< You inspect the table. >
< It is littered with burn marks. >
< Golden utensils either broken or bent. >
< Except one. >
< . . . >
< You got the Golden Pan. >

< You leave the dining hall. >

< You move north, the doorway being locked. >

["Old Man"]
- Don't worry miss, I have the keys.

< The Old Man unlocks the door. >

["Old Man"]
- I think this is where my stop is.
- Thank you, miss.
- I do hope...
- That you finally find what you were looking for.
- . . .
- I'm sorry for your loss.

< The Old Man walks south, out of the castle's entrance, leaving you alone. >

< . . . >
< It's time to move on. >
