APOC: if i can ask honestly, whats the gatekeeper of heaven doing in a gehenom like this?
BIDU: WHERE THERE IS A DOOR, THERE IS A DOORKEEPER.
APOC: right. manifold.
APOC: i was hoping you could help me to interpret a sort of prophecy, though i understand it has a price.
APOC: the clipot whispered to me of my fate, to determine life or death for the heroes and, well, something else for everyone or everything. kind of hard to put into words, but if your reputation is deserved you know more about that than i do.
BIDU: YES. UNIVERSES WITHER BEFORE YOU AND OCEANS OF BLOOD RISE.
BIDU: YOU WALK A KNIFE'S EDGE. AN ALCHEMIST STRIVES FOR THE PERFECT REALITY, THE WORLD-MOSHIA. THE ALEPH TIMELINE.
BIDU: BUT YOUR SELF-PRIDE MAKES THE PATH TO THAT REALITY A TWISTED ONE.
APOC: my self-pride?
BIDU: YOU TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU CANNOT LOSE THE GAME YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE PLAYING AGAINST SKAIA.
BIDU: BUT IT IS NO GAME.
APOC: it's not about winning or losing--whatever. you say you can help me get to this aleph timeline?
BIDU: I OFFER YOU A CHOICE.
BIDU: THROUGH THE DOORWAY TO YOUR RIGHT IS THE WORLD IN WHICH YOU SAVE THE SEVEN TRANSCENDED HEROES AND CREATE THE LONGED-FOR WORLD MOSHIA.
BIDU: THROUGH THE DOORWAY TO YOUR LEFT IS THE WORLD IN WHICH YOU WANDER THE ENDLESS ROAD WITHOUT A NAVIGATOR IN THE HOPE OF A HOLY LAND.
APOC: but the right door is completely black, there's nothing there
APOC: and the left door is bright
BIDU: THE RIGHT PATH IS NOT AN EASY OR A QUICK ONE. ON SUCH A PATH EVERY STEP CAN BECOME A FATAL MISSTEP.
BIDU: BUT TO CUT YOUR LOSSES AND BE CONTENT WITH THOSE YOU HAVE MANAGED TO SAVE IS SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
APOC: this choice is facile, i'm not the kind of person who does the easy thing just because it's easy.
