1
00:00:04,628 --> 00:00:11,665
Civilization is born of knowledge, but so, too, can knowledge be its demise

2
00:00:13,390 --> 00:00:19,690
A disaster caught us unaware. It was knowledge that did not belong to this world

3
00:00:20,743 --> 00:00:24,606
King Deshret (Scarlet King) brought this forbidden knowledge into our world

4
00:00:24,646 --> 00:00:27,712
And it quickly spread like a plague

5
00:00:29,850 --> 00:00:36,865
People's minds were filled with crazed whispers. Dark gray scales spread across their bodies

6
00:00:37,168 --> 00:00:44,350
Even the land was stripped of its vigor. Only a desperate, deathly silence remained

7
00:00:45,687 --> 00:00:52,543
Were it not for Greater Lord Rukkhadevata from the forests, the damage would have been irreversible

8
00:00:53,371 --> 00:00:59,810
She summoned the priests to build temples, and infused into them the divine power of life

9
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,384
The disaster was miraculously tempered

10
00:01:04,584 --> 00:01:09,143
And the embers of our civilization were preserved in Aaru Village

11
00:01:09,821 --> 00:01:16,626
Alas, the miracle could not last. As long as forbidden knowledge continued to exist

12
00:01:16,634 --> 00:01:19,531
It would forever blight this world

13
00:01:20,296 --> 00:01:28,840
In the end, the proud king of the desert... my eternal lord... chose to sacrifice himself

14
00:01:30,496 --> 00:01:35,381
I have spent my whole life since guarding one of these many temples

15
00:01:36,225 --> 00:01:40,875
But now, my duty is coming to an end

16
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...

17
00:01:51,725 --> 00:01:57,790
In helping King Deshret (Scarlet King) to eradicate forbidden knowledge, she exhausted her strength

18
00:01:57,790 --> 00:02:00,990
And her form became that of a small child

19
00:02:01,987 --> 00:02:08,587
How strange... Now that I think of her, I no longer have any fear of death...

20
00:02:08,871 --> 00:02:15,200
For I sense that... the spirit of life will abide with me during my eternal sleep

21
00:02:16,818 --> 00:02:22,225
Children of the desert, cling no longer to past grievances

22
00:02:22,671 --> 00:02:28,306
But hold tight to the memory of this act of benevolence
