...It's a long story, but - he's been gathering power for a long time, in hopes to take over our country utilising magla. The anxiety of people, that is, made manifest. That's what he did to Will. The king is the one has the ability to harness all of the magla produced by the populace with the King's sceptre.
He wants to burn the whole bloody place down, and the people - half of them have no idea. They think he's their ally, that he'll protect them, but it's all a lie.
[ there's anger there in his voice, low and simmering towards the end, but he shakes it off. ALSO HIT ME WITH SPOILERS im a big weenie baby so i probably won't play ]
I guess I just don't understand what he gets out of it. I can understanding wanting to destroy everything if there's a goal beyond that, but...
[ stop understanding that. anyway I'M ALSO A WEENIE BABY IT'S NOT VERY SCARY but i understand. thinky thinks. anyway woosh. a memory of a possession. from 3:32:37 to 3:35:03. ]
[ he thinks - for a second, painfully, about similarities. fire and burning villages, and ferocity. about wis'adel, too, how infuriated he'd been when her reasoning for killing anders came to light.
and - well, thankfully, that's the end of that, because this wind whooshes by. and there is a lot going on here. voices, ghosts, people. alex, the familiar voice through the - transmitter, and that sensation of - trapped.
he shakes his head around the same time jacob does, as it clears, jittery. ]
There was a hole in time. We opened it by mistake and got trapped. It took... a while to gain awareness of the timeloop, and to figure out its terms. To accept them.
[ okay that's a lot for his ye olde ass but in the context of the memory, it kind of makes sense. and there are a lot of questions, but the most pressing comes forth first - ]
Well. Functionally, who knows. I didn't remember the loops for a long time. Actually remembering iterations was an incremental thing. Something that came on near the end of an infinite path.
You don't have to apologise. [ a little softer. ] There are people here who want to hear your story, and there's no need to rush through it for - well, for lack of time. Tell me all you want or as little as you want. Just have to have the context before we can begin to understand.
Long, long, long story short... Eternity in a timeloop. And a final attempt at escape before realizing it was never going to work. And then... death, Hell, and so on.
