HoF6 Shigure_Anankos

Anankos:
    Welcome, child, to my throne.
Shigure:
    Hello, Anankos.
Anankos:
    I've been waiting a long time.
    Every other version of you died before
    piercing the barrier.
    But your spirit remained true... Cadros,
    First King of Valla.
Shigure:
    You are mistaken. I am not Cadros.
    That man passed away long, long ago.
    You yourself are scarcely the Anankos
    you once were... You're mad now.
Anankos:
    I? Gone mad? It is humans who have taken
    leave of their senses.
    I granted them my power, my trust, and
    what do they grant me in return?
    A lifetime of scorn and derision based on
    a single mistake of mine.
    Rather than forgiveness, they offer
    persecution, exile...even eradication.
Shigure:
    Is that true? There wasn't a single human
    who trusted in you to the end?
Anankos:
    If there was, I...don't remember. Only their
    hatred fills my memories.
    My heart was heavy enough to sink into the
    abyss. How could humans forget me so?
    I granted them their prosperity—why must
    I be the one who suffers?
Shigure:
    That still doesn't excuse treating so many
    worlds as your playthings.
Anankos:
    Who decides what is wrong, impudent
    boy? You?
    Humans are chattel who forget what they
    owe when it suits them.
    Without dragons, humans would have no
    agency. No sentience.
    We gave them everything!
    Why must it be I who faces death, alone
    in exile?
    Why must I look upon my tormentors as
    they thrive? WHY?!
Shigure:
    Anankos...
Anankos:
    But I have a solution, Cadros. We shall
    build a new kingdom, you and I.
    As soon as we have found the ideal
    land for it...
Shigure:
    Why can you not build here? What is so
    "ideal" about this land you seek?
Anankos:
    This world is already tainted by the humans
    and their dominance.
    I have been searching the astral plane for
    realms in which things did not go awry.
    But none of the realms are right. None of
    them have MY Kingdom of Valla...
Shigure:
    No... This was all to find your ideal
    kingdom from before it was destroyed?
    That's why you invaded so many
    Deeprealms all at once?
Anankos:
    The contemptible vermin of this realm
    betrayed me.
    But among the endless possibilities across
    the astral plane...
    There must be one realm in which they
    did not.
    One realm where I was not defied; not
    rejected; not driven away by the sword...
Shigure:
    Yet you found no such realm.
Anankos:
    Correct. Every realm is worthless. Even if
    I wipe out all the vermin there...
    As soon as I move to the next realm,
    it is wrong too.
    I cannot find my perfect Valla! They are all
    wrong! ALL!
Shigure:
    Of course they are.
    You can repeat your search a thousand
    times over and never find it.
    Your ideal kingdom of Valla is no more.
Anankos:
    But that can't be! If you and I, working
    together, can find an unspoiled realm...
    We can build a new kingdom where human
    and dragon live in harmony!
Shigure:
    It's too late for that, Anankos.
    You're beyond redemption. Your mind has
    snapped already.
    This will be the last realm. For you...and
    for me.
Anankos:
    Cadros! Don't...
Shigure:
    I will use the song you passed down to
    restore things to the way they should be.
    Even if death, or worse, awaits me, I will
    save my friends. And you.
Anankos:
    You will not! You know full well that there
    are consequences to singing that song.
    It will curse you to wander in agony for all
    eternity, just as that woman Azura does.
Shigure:
    That doesn't matter to me anymore.
    I am prepared to face my fate, however
    terrible it may be.
Anankos:
    Cadros, no...I'm not ready!
Shigure:
    Enough, Anankos. If it takes my life to end
    this travesty now, I give it freely.
    Let the show begin.

Kana_M:
    SHIGURE, STOP!
Shigure:
    What—?!
Kana_F:
    Don't do it, Shigure! You don't have to die
    here all alone!
