They'll come back, it's kinder than the version of this game that I know. And I don't have that many memories to begin with.

[He shakes his head.]

I did. You can think of it like I'm hibernating, waiting for somebody to find me. It's going to take a long time. My sleep isn't a curse or anything along those lines.

[divus]

...where I'm from, if you die, you're dead. But for some people, you have the choice to come back in rebirth. But it means you lose all your memories and start over. Sound familiar?

[But that's weird.] But what happens if nobody ever finds you?

[heartmunculus]

It sounds like how Heroic Spirits are supposed to work. [When they aren't weird outliers like Rulers or whatever the heck Sieg is anymore.]

Jeanne will find me. [What complete and utter faith he has in this person.]

[divus]

I figured you'd get it. Eventually for us, if you die and are reborn and die a hero three times, you get access to ultimate paradise. Kind of stupid to think about now.

How do you know though?

[heartmunculus]

Why three?

There's a one in a trillion chance. She's not the kind of person who would ever give up.

[divus]

Most important things where I come from come in threes. Three fates, three realms of the Underworld, the perfect number for quests is three...not totally sure why.

...sounds like a good friend to have around though if you can really trust her.

[heartmunculus]

At least it's consistent.

She is. Jeanne d'Arc is a great friend.

[divus]

...do you mean Joan of Arc? [He's from America and he went to school for. A little while.] Didn't she burn or something?

[heartmunculus]

She's the same person.

[He nods.]

For everything she did in life, she was written into the Throne of Heroes. Um... People like Sherlock, Merlin, Chiron and Achilles are also written in there.

[divus]

...Chiron? [All of those names are familiar, sure, but one sure does stick out. He sounds a little baffled.]

[heartmunculus]

... Did you know him too?

His other title is Great Sage of Centaurs. He was one of the Archers I knew during the Grail War. I would've liked to talk to him more... he was a great teacher.

[divus]

Yeah, I know who he is. [That sounds about right, except for the Grail part.] He was the activities director at our camp.

[heartmunculus]

The camp that you made for us?

... He was really good at corralling people. Somehow, that seems to suit him.

[divus]

Yeah, that camp. He's been around for years, I don't even really know how long. But that's what he's always done in the time I've known him.

[heartmunculus]

I'm pretty sure our Chiron died from poison. I don't think he could be summoned unless he died.

... I'm glad there's a version of him that didn't die.

[divus]

Huh. I don't think our Chiron's ever dealt with poison, but I've been getting the sense that a lot of the worlds are overlapping. He's still alive as far as I know. Or he was when I last saw him which wasn't too long before I got here.

[heartmunculus]

It seems like the majority of us and the gods are from Earth. It makes sense that myths wouldn't be too different.

... I hope he's still alive.

[divus]

Maybe it doesn't even matter now since I'll never go back. But I could probably check if I really wanted to. It's sort of how we got you guys here in the first place.

[heartmunculus]

You guys can look through different worlds, right?

It'd be nice to check in on people.

[divus]

Maybe for some of the others, but I think I'd rather keep the past in the past at this point.

[heartmunculus]

... That's fair.

[divus]

...on the other hand? It at least taught me what kind of world I don't wanna run. True or false: the past is a confusing thing?

[heartmunculus]

It's very confusing when time travel happens.

So... True.

[divus]

Time travel. [Um.] Do you time travel a lot?

[heartmunculus]

I don't do it personally. Chaldea's Master had to go back in time because somebody was trying to change the timeline.

I just know that it's happening.
