00:00:04.628 --> 00:00:11.665
Civilization is born of knowledge, but so, too, can knowledge be its demise

00:00:13.390 --> 00:00:19.690
A disaster caught us unaware. It was knowledge that did not belong to this world

00:00:20.743 --> 00:00:24.606
King Deshret (Scarlet King) brought this forbidden knowledge into our world

00:00:24.646 --> 00:00:27.712
And it quickly spread like a plague

00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:36.865
People's minds were filled with crazed whispers. Dark gray scales spread across their bodies

00:00:37.168 --> 00:00:44.350
Even the land was stripped of its vigor. Only a desperate, deathly silence remained

00:00:45.687 --> 00:00:52.543
Were it not for Greater Lord Rukkhadevata from the forests, the damage would have been irreversible

00:00:53.371 --> 00:00:59.810
She summoned the priests to build temples, and infused into them the divine power of life

00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:04.384
The disaster was miraculously tempered

00:01:04.584 --> 00:01:09.143
And the embers of our civilization were preserved in Aaru Village

00:01:09.821 --> 00:01:16.626
Alas, the miracle could not last. As long as forbidden knowledge continued to exist

00:01:16.634 --> 00:01:19.531
It would forever blight this world

00:01:20.296 --> 00:01:28.840
In the end, the proud king of the desert... my eternal lord... chose to sacrifice himself

00:01:30.496 --> 00:01:35.381
I have spent my whole life since guarding one of these many temples

00:01:36.225 --> 00:01:40.875
But now, my duty is coming to an end

00:01:42.012 --> 00:01:50.640
As I close my eyes for the final time, the sight of that noble deity will appear in my vision once more...

00:01:51.725 --> 00:01:57.790
In helping King Deshret (Scarlet King) to eradicate forbidden knowledge, she exhausted her strength

00:01:57.790 --> 00:02:00.990
And her form became that of a small child

00:02:01.987 --> 00:02:08.587
How strange... Now that I think of her, I no longer have any fear of death...

00:02:08.871 --> 00:02:15.200
For I sense that... the spirit of life will abide with me during my eternal sleep

00:02:16.818 --> 00:02:22.225
Children of the desert, cling no longer to past grievances

00:02:22.671 --> 00:02:28.306
But hold tight to the memory of this act of benevolence
