• oh hey, that's the title card background!  /screenshot
  
• "I've walked these streets... I've seen these roof tiles..."  City of Mirrors? although   /scrolls back a bunch. yeah, that's not quite on, is it? when i dreamed of this place, i was in a "hut". this is obviously a ruined town at the very least, if it has streets and actual buildings. although i guess it could have all gone to ruin with the sea surrounding it until only i was left waiting to die.
  
• "The loneliness and silence from my dream materialize, wrapping around me." like arms. awww.
  
• "Your Highness remembers."   not really. but this is awfully close to my heart.
  
• "doing the same thing over and over .. and next to me was..."   i start to dig. i find a slab, cracked, in the ruins.
  
• Tome of the Sea God?!
  
• again, confirmation that only those bound to the Sea God can read the Tome. 
  
• fishtail beacon.. fishtail beacon... i'm SURE i packed it somewhere...
  
• we hold it together.
  
• "The pain will last for a moment."
  
• oooooh crap. uh. okay, i'm going to make tea and de-agitate, i will be right back. his eyes are So Beautiful
  
• oh thank little sea urchins. he just slashed my hand, not my throat. our blood mixes on the slab.
  
• new... new prophecy? ooooh, anticipation!
  
• I KNEW IT. golden symbols manifest before us. Lemuria's history and the Sea God's prophecy.
  
• human that i am, i only recognize one glyph. the one that is 'me'
  
• oh, interesting. because the slab is damaged from being buried in the sands, there are gaps in the prophecy. not only cryptic but also incomplete!
  
• "When the God of the Sea is revived, the seas will awaken. To take back what he's lost, the God of the Sea must kill his beloved."
  
• ah. at the critical junction, she actually figures that part out. her heart belongs to the God. i.. go into a small trance, as meaning colesces?  "If his heart is not returned, the fire will fade. An eternal slumber awaits him."
  
• "I lift Rafayel's hand. A black fire burns his palm. I clench my fist, blood dripping onto the flame. It burns brighter. In those fires, I see us of another time."
  
• "Desiring the sincerest worship of mortals, thou must offer an irreplaceable object." "The Sea God's heart, mine heart. Dost thou want it?"
  
• aaaand i put it together. "You're the god who gifted me this heart." 
  
• OH NO NOT AGAIN. or... whatever. you know what i mean. timelines, they are so shifty.  "I take Rafayel's hand which holds a dagger and press it against my chest." 
  
• "We made a vow. You are the God of the Sea who has my sincerest devotion. My heart exists for this very reason."
  
• what do you mean, you can't accept it back? 
  
• this sounds very important. "A God protects his followers. If the legend pertaining to the God of the Sea is inevitable..." Rafayel lifts his hand - in the floating words, every symbol that represents me is consumed by a black flame. "Shouldn't the God of the Sea himself change the story?"
  
• oh. wow. he's burned my name out of the Tome, out of the prophecy.
  
• NO
  
• my memories of Rafayel begin to disappear
  
• "If the ending is fixed, let us start anew and be rid of this tale." 
  
• ohhhhh he's burning the vow right out of my heart.
  
• aaaand i'm staring at him... why am i here? Rafayel! a familiar name. how did we meet?
  
• there is only emptiness.
  
• "Lemurians must rewrite their own story, with their own hands." 
  
• (Who is Rafayel?)
  
• The person before me is a stranger.
  

/ow ow ow oh this huuuurts

• "Goodbye, my beloved bride."
