You look grimly at Lilus and Dezian.
"Your reasons matter not one whit. Your actions endangered the future of Otterball, in violation of your sacred oath. Any one of us would sooner accept death than see the Spiders succeed in their goals. Besides, our debt to the Youth Centre is already contracted, and a Seer clearly identified you as the payment. Of course, as a matter of pride, we will ensure that you are both comfortably retired to a couple of quiet cottages somewhere very distant from one another."The two traitors look momentarily confused at the implications before you continue.
"In accordance with our deal with the Youth Centre, their dark and blasphemous deity demands one (1) bond of forbidden love to consume for its own empowerment. Therefore — and it is so convenient that you volunteered to endure the punishment together, lest we would have had to use force and restrain you" [this to Dezian]
"like your cousin — it is going to devour your memories of one another. As a special favour to us it has also agreed to take your memories of Otterball and the Order. Just so you have something productive to do in your retirement, I've even asked for it to implant a detailed knowledge of the practice of beekeeping in their place. Let it never be said that the Order does not take care of its own, even when they do not take care of it. Now that you two are fully informed on what to expect, you" [this, in turn, to the acolytes]
"have my permission to commence your ritual."And then the monster bit onto the two traitors' heads in succession and sucked out their respective memories while Alfric watched with mild interest and the other members of the Order in the room experienced reactions ranging from erotic fascination to nauseous disgust.
*CHOMP! CHOMP!**splegh!!*"Oh my...""Oi!..."*gasp!*"...mmm...""yikes..."...
After the ritual completes, Lilus and Dezian soon wake up from the trauma.
Dezian: "...Huh? Who are you people? Where am I?"He looks to Lilus, who looks equally confused.
Dezian: "You... you look familiar. Do I know you?... No, I don't think so..."Lilus shakes his head confusedly, looking bewildered as he surveys the area and everyone standing around. He then realizes that he is fastened to the altar behind him.
"W-what is the meaning of this!? Who are all of you!?" He shakes rapidly against the altar, trying to break loose from the ropes.
Acolyte: "Calm down, we are from the beekeeping community. You remember the bees, don't you?"Dezian: "Ah, yes, the bees! I must tend to them. Where are they now?"Acolyte: "Don't worry, we will take you to them."Lilus: "T-the bees?... o-oh, r-right... but why am I t--"Acolyte: "Let us go to the bees, shall we? Please come with us."The acolytes release Lilus from the ropes and proceed to escort the two memory-wiped lovers into the tunnels, later to be transported to cottages in different far-away lands.
The Youth Centre God soon raises its arms in a display of newly acquired power.
"Excellent! With this new concentration of forbidden love, I will be able to cast love spells and create love potions and aphrodisiacs of untold potency!" It then lets out a demonic laugh and disappears in a fiery silhouette.
Soon afterwards, a loud Thud is heard from the Dramatic Revelations Room. Puzzled, you and the group head into the room to check on what happened.
Inside, you see Remius lying on the ground unconscious, bits of dust and debris still falling from the broken ceiling above him.
You approach the unconscious Remius, noticing that he is holding a peculiar spider-shaped jewel, as well as a picture of a woman wearing a strangely decorated dress with dragon patterns on it:
You glance back to Remius, who seems to be out cold at the moment...
