Part 53: Chapter 6, Part 3



Aww, another one survived.




: I did not cause the destruction of your people!

Might as well lie. He won't drop any good loot anyway.


: To lie! To have been told by Vasagralem that you killed Gargoyles! To kill you for destroying great Gargoyle city!
: You have to let me prove that what I say is true!
: To not be smart, but to have been taught by Vasagralem to listen to others, and to not make judgements. To be fair even to you, Avatar, the one who killed my people.
: Very well... to give Avatar the chance to prove himself.
: Your true enemy isn't me, but the columns that invaded Britannia.
: It affected your humble people and twisted their minds, causing their pride to take over their common sense, through no fault of their own.
: The dome was beginning to collapse, but the column made them refuse to see the signs.
: When Wislem's sculpture of the Queen was activated, it added to the instability and cracked the Dome, flooding the city.
: To lie! To know that you wanted Gargoyles dead, and to see that you killed them. To know that without a Queen, Gargoyles now doomed!

He's right you know. I don't think he's going to let go of this 'genocide' thing so I guess we'd better give him the egg. We can kill the infant Queen later.


: I'm sorry that I could not save your city, but I have brought something that can save your people.
: As I left the city, I took a Queen's Egg from her chamber, that another Queen might be born and the gargoyle race can continue.
: No! To be possible? To think Avatar tells truth? To see the egg, and to know that now we have new Queen.
: Oh, to know my people died because of pride!

: So you understand that Raven is innocent?
: To see truth! To see that wrong has been done! To talk to Vasagralem, to tell him what happened.
: To know he is smart, and will know what to do.
: What do you want me to do with the egg?
: To go and activate the lift so that you may take egg to Vasagralem. To show Vasagralem that all is not lost.






: To think that you must wish to die. To think you a fool to come before me!
: Vasagralem, please...
: To not die yet, though. To know you should live to see your loved ones suffer!
: To be in agony! To see in my mind the faces of those who died. To know such pain!
: To know that you killed them, Avatar! To know that you killed the Gargoyle race!
: To know that they will not be forgotten!
: Vasagralem, please. I have brought you a Queen Egg.
: To see the Queen's egg! To remember Desbet spoke of an egg, but to have not understood. To see that he was right: you have saved a Gargoyle Queen!
: But to be confused: to see that you vanquished my people but saved one egg?
: I am sorry for your race, but pride was the culprit. Vasagralem, if I had really wanted to destroy your people, would I have brought you a Queen's Egg?

So much for our omelettes.

: To admit that you make sense. To now begin to understand what Desbet was trying to tell me, and to be devastated. To know that pride destroyed my people.
: To regret that I could not prevent this calamity.
: To owe you an apology, Avatar. To have believed you guilty, and to have knowingly blamed your companion in an attempt to repay you for destroying my people.
: To have been so wrong! How to prove that I am sorry?

: Do you know the Mantra of Justice?
: To not know the mantra, but to advise that you consult the Book of Justice that is housed in the library.
: Do you know where I might find the Sigil of Justice?
: To know that the sigil is known as the Quill of Justice. To know that the Book of Justice holds the location of the Quill.
: Have you learned anything about the lenses needed to view the Codex?
: To have found the red lens after much searching. To happily provide it in thanks for all that you have done. To hope that it serves you well.




: To be sadly responsible for your friend's plight in the prison. To now wish to help you save her.
: To meet me outside of Wrong by following the Northern Trail east across the bridge. To show you a secret entrance to the prison.
: To thank you and meet you there.




Before we leave the horrible home of this horrible monster, we touch the horrible symbol beside his horrible chemistry set. Doing this makes the Gem of Death appear. As long as the gem is held in our inventory it increases our damage














Putting the books back on their shelves made the Book of Justice appear. THIS PUZZLE MAKES NO SENSE.




That's it, I'm sick of this place. Let's go somewhere else.
