Lethos: It's sort of numb now.
Miho: Good work taking care of Lethos, you guys. You really are something else.

Wynter: Who dialed??
Wynter: Oh, maid. What can I do you for-- Ohhhhh shit...
Wynter: What happened to your arm??
Derrick: We had a fight and I cut it off in the heat of things. Can you heal her?
Wynter: .... Doesn't work like that, Prince.
Wynter: She appears hurt, but her health is fine.
Derrick: What?? Then...
Wynter: What you damaged was her manifestation. Her visage.
Wynter: You weren't trying to kill her, were you?
Derrick: No...
Wynter: Right, that's why she's not screaming right now.
Derrick: Will her arm come back??
Wynter: Yes, I think so. Bodily damage isn't permanent unless it's part of your manifestation.
Reggie: Oh yeah, she's right. ^v^
Reggie: I'm off my game. I knew that already, heh.
Reggie: Resting out of a scrap will recover your outward appearance if it's been damaged.
Lethos: ... W-what of Filma?!
Wynter: Filma? haha.
Lethos: I had a small pet with me... I named it Filma.
Lethos: It was killed in the fight.
Wynter: Another monster?
Lethos: Uhm...
Lucia: I don't think so. When Lethos was huge she had hundreds of bigger dragon-like creatures that hovered around her.
Lucia: Now that she's small, it was reduced to just one tiny one.
Wynter: Oh! That's good.
Wynter: If it was a different monster, I'm sorry to say it would have been toast.
Wynter: But since it's a part of your manifestation it's in the same situation as your missing arm.
Wynter: Time will heal it.
Lethos: Ohhh.... I'm so glad to hear that.
Reggie: It's almost like she had her own conjuration.
Reggie: Looks like you're going to be alright, Lethos!
Lethos: Yes...!
Derrick: Now, Reggie. We gotta chat.
Reggie: Hm?
Derrick: That creature or whatever, what was it and how does this happen?
Derrick: You said you can't talk about the infection, but what about the monster or monsters like it?
Derrick: The nature of being close to the void, etc.
Lucia: Also, why did that thing call you a "Cultivator"??
Lucia: What does that mean?
Reggie: >v>" So many questions...
Reggie: Do we remember Samielle? Also known as crazy truth peddler?
Lucia: Who could forget him?
Reggie: Well that's an example of the infection.
Reggie: He became a vessel for "them". The ones further beyond.
Reggie: Infected vessels have one objective. Spread the infection as much as possible.
Reggie: Every realm has an entity strong enough to do what Lethos was trying to do.
Reggie: The infection's goal is to find that one entity, infect them, and have them lower the realm's "shield".
Reggie: When it's down and a hole in created, the OG void creature or possible the lucky ones closer by will enter the realm and destroy it.
Reggie: There's a difference though. Signal strength. This broadcasted infection is only as effective as the infected vessel's ability to spread it.
Reggie: And it works as a chain link. If Samielle for example makes someone crazy, the new crazy person can possibly make someone crazy as well. If they reject the infection they simply go crazy, which can only be ended by being killed or killing the infector. If you kill a crazy person in a link of say, five entities...
Reggie: If the OG infector is still alive the chain will reconnect to the strongest next in line. Only removing the OG infector can free the group.
Derrick: .... Hmm...
Reggie: Lethos has the ability to speak telepathically. Her ability to infect would be extremely horrific. Once the infection finds the "Shield" breaker entity, it will reallocate it as the OG infector to protect the chain.
Reggie: Then releasing the infection becomes extremely unlikely ensuring the destruction of the realm.
Reggie: ... I'm sorry to say, but turning Lethos small was actually not a good idea. Her size and unstable sanity kept her safe all this time so close to the edge.
Reggie: It would seem that her being in the grasslands is a danger from here on out unless we remedy the situation somehow.
Lucia: But what is the infection?? Is it a disease?? mind control??
Reggie: I can't let you know what it is. Only how it works and that the end result is you losing your mind.
Reggie: Right, Lethos?
Lethos: ..... The infection... The "truth"... It's no longer clear anymore.
Lethos: When that spirit left me, so did the "truth". I cannot say more.
Reggie: There you have it. -v-
Lucia: And this Cultivator stuff?
Reggie: Oh that? Heh...
Reggie: I'm like a... Caretaker.
Reggie: Like a parent.
Reggie: Cultivator is just a fancy word for guardian. Like a parental guardian, not like a... Your type of guardian.
Reggie: From my limited encounters with Void monsters they like to throw that word around a lot. Don't read too much into it. ov<
Lucia: Okay...
Wynter: Damn, ya'll really in it now.
