Righteous Sins

(Captain) and the crew are shocked when the Arcarum primal beast known as The Sun appears before them with Alanaan's help. The priest is overjoyed, but The Sun reveals she deceived him and sets fire to the church. Falling into despair over the sins he committed, Alanaan slashes his own neck with a dagger as the crew stands to fight the primal beast.



Alanaan: O immaculate sun goddess, shine your blessed light upon the lost and grant us your wisdom...
Alanaan bows his head in prayer to the sun goddess, as he does each and every day.
As he prays, the ring on his right hand glimmers mysteriously.
Alanaan: I see. The time has come.
A satisfied smile spreads across Alanaan's face just as (Captain) and the crew enter the chapel.
Vyrn: Hey, Preacher Man!
Vyrn: We've already beat that simulation a bunch of times... How much longer do we have to do this?
Lyria: Um... When we finished the most recent simulation, the card started to shine.
Lyria: It has me a bit worried...
Alanaan: Say, little lady. Could I see the card?
Lyria: Yes, of course...
The card is still dull, but it seems to be emitting a faint glow.
Alanaan: Ahahaha! No wonder yer crew's so famous. Our greatest ambition has just been achieved!
Vyrn: Does that mean we stopped the primal beast's plan?
Lyria: ...
Vyrn: Huh? What's wrong, Lyria?
Lyria: I don't think we did... I have a feeling something bad is going to happen...
Upon seeing Lyria's expression, Alanaan can't help but burst out laughing.
Alanaan: Pfft... Hahahaha!
Vyrn: Hey, what's so funny?
Alanaan: Oh, my apologies.
Alanaan: Tell me... What is good?
Alanaan: And can you explain to me what evil is?
Vyrn: Where'd that come from?
Alanaan continues, completely ignoring the crew's confusion.
Alanaan: There are those in the world who believe that people are fundamentally good...
Alanaan: But what do you think, (Captain)?
  1. I think it's true.
  2. That's a hard question...


Choose: I think it's true.

Alanaan: I had a feelin' you might say that...
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: That's a hard question...

Alanaan: Did yer harsh journey bring you enlightenment?
Lyria: But I... I want to believe that people are fundamentally good!
Alanaan: I understand how ya feel.

Continue 1

Alanaan: But that is far too naive.
Alanaan: People have many emotions: joy, anger, grief, pleasure, fear, love, hatred, greed...
Alanaan: And many of them can be characterized as negative emotions.
Alanaan: From that we can conclude that as long as a person is alive, evil dwells within them.
Lyria: Um... Alanaan, is something wrong?
Vyrn: Yeah, dude. I don't have a clue what you're talking about...
Vyrn: You in trouble or somethin'?
Vyrn: We'd be happy to help if there's anything we can do!
Alanaan: Yer very kind. I must admit it makes me feel a tiny bit guilty.
Alanaan: But that kindness is only temporary.
Alanaan: The seeds of evil have already been sewn in a person's heart by the time they're born.
Alanaan: No matter how pure of heart you are now... eventually those seeds will sprout.
Alanaan: Isn't that right, great sun goddess?
The inside of the chapel begins to shake as if in response to Alanaan's address.
Lyria: ...!
I sense an evil presence...
Vyrn: Hey, Preacher Man! Did you do somethin'?
Alanaan: I wouldn't phrase it that way. The time is simply upon us.
Alanaan speaks with a broad smile across his face, his words become increasingly grandiose and incoherent.
Alanaan: The creation of a paradise for the righteous by the righteous—is it a mere fantasy? Or an illusion?
Alanaan: Nay, I say! It is but a simple task. We merely need to pluck the buds of evil before they sprout.
Alanaan: The wicked must be purged!
Alanaan: This cursed world must perish at the hands of the righteous!
Alanaan: Isn't that right...
Alanaan: Great sun goddess!
Alanaan tosses the card up toward the heavens.
At that moment the card glows, and a dazzling light engulfs the area.
The Sun: ...
Vyrn: Th-that thing looks familiar...
Lyria: It's an Arcarum primal beast! Why is it here?
Alanaan: Ahahaha!
Alanaan: With the help of yer crew, the sun goddess was able to manifest in this world. You have my thanks.
Alanaan: You'll have to forgive me. I tricked ya.
Vyrn: Wh-what're you talkin' about? Whaddya mean you tricked us?
Vyrn: The Church of Renatus helps its followers become good people, right?
Vyrn: And the townspeople really love the church too!
Alanaan: Good people? Yes... I am a good person. I am one of the righteous. All the evil deeds I have committed were for the sake of good.
Alanaan: The end justifies the means, as long as it's for a good cause.
Lyria: What?
Lyria: Then what were those simulations? What was all that talk about stopping the primal beast's plot?
Alanaan: Sorry, but it's actually the opposite. Those simulations were the only way to push our plan forward.
Alanaan: Thanks to yer countless battles, I was able to collect some valuable information.
Alanaan: I can never thank ya enough.
Lyria: No...
Alanaan: The manifestation of the sun goddess is the first step in achieving my greatest desire—the creation of a paradise for the righteous by the righteous.
Alanaan: The sun goddess and I will create this paradise together.
Alanaan: The Sky Realm is overrun with evil. There is no hope for it left—there is only despair!
Alanaan: If you seek salvation, abandon this world and come to my side!
Lyria: Alanaan! That's not the sun goddess!
Lyria: It's an Arcarum primal beast that's trying to destroy the world!
Alanaan: She's not destroyin' the world. She's creatin' a new one.
Alanaan: And besides... Primal beasts are beings that transcend mortals, puttin' them on the same level as the divine.
Alanaan: The name by which they're known simply differs depending on the region, people, or period of time. There's nothin' strange about that.
Alanaan: Isn't that right, great sun goddess?
The Sun: It is all thanks to you, pactbearer, that I was able to manifest in this world.
Alanaan: ...
The young woman stares coldly at Alanaan, who gazes back at her full of glee.
The Sun: The Arcarum will create a new world in this one that has chased away its creators.
The Sun: The Astral world, the sky world, and the countless numbers of squirming souls... All will be returned from whence it came.
Alanaan: Wait... What are you sayin'?
The Sun: We, the eleven of the Arcarum, shall bring forth a new truth.
The Sun: I am the light that shines upon all things, be they beautiful or ugly.
The Sun: Evil deeds committed for the sake of good are righteous... That is your truth. It does not apply to us.
The Sun: There is no place for you mortals in the new world over which we shall reign.
Alanaan: What in the skies are you talking about? We, the followers of the Church of Renatus, are—
The Sun locks eyes with Alanaan and releases a powerful ray of light.
The scorching hot beam burns everything in its path, instantly transforming the chapel into a sea of flames.
Alanaan: What did ya do that for? Explain this to me, please!
Lyria: Alanaan! We need to get away from here!
Vyrn: Come on, get a move on!
Alanaan: Aaahh!
Alanaan: Why! Why'd ya set fire to the church! The church is the sun goddesses's sacred—
The Sun: Evil deeds committed for the sake of good are righteous...
Alanaan: Are you tryin' to tell me that settin' fire to the church was a righteous act?
The Sun: Evil deeds committed for the sake of good are righteous...
Alanaan: What's the meanin' of this! Please teach me, great sun goddess!
The Sun: Foolish mortal... I asked you, did I not?
The Sun: I asked if you desired salvation...
The Sun: I simply told you the words you wanted to hear. That was your salvation.
Alanaan: (What have I done? I can't believe I let myself be fooled so easily...)
Alanaan: Evil deeds committed for the sake of good are righteous...
Alanaan: Was deceivin' me a righteous act in your eyes?
Alanaan: Ahahaha! How disgraceful, allowin' myself to be used in such a way!
Alanaan: Ahahaha... I'm such a fool...
Alanaan: It all makes sense. How could I have possibly been chosen to pass judgment upon the wicked?
Alanaan: I'm no more than a wicked sinner myself!
Alanaan: Hahaha... I've committed a countless number of evil deeds. I'm so ashamed.
Alanaan: I'm... a disgrace...
Alanaan smiles at the crew apologetically and pulls a dagger out of his pocket.
Lyria: Alanaan!
Alanaan: ...
Alanaan decides to condemn himself in order to take responsibility for his actions.
With a gentle smile on his face, he slashes the dagger across his neck before (Captain) and the crew can stop him.
Lyria: Aaahh!
(Captain) immediately rushes to Alanaan's side and glares at The Sun.
The Sun: You mortals are such fragile creatures, having to depend on those around you.
Vyrn: No... No!
Lyria: Alanaan...
  1. You'll pay for this!


Choose: You'll pay for this!

The Sun: Your existence has helped to hasten the creation of a new world. But you have done enough.
The Sun: My flames will consume everything, until nothing is left.
As The Sun raises her arms to the sky, the fire burns even brighter, engulfing the entire chapel in flames.
Vyrn: (Captain)! We gotta do somethin' quick, or the whole church is gonna burn down!
The Sun: ...
  1. We'll stop you!


Choose: We'll stop you!

(Captain) stands before The Sun, weapon at the ready, prepared to exact revenge against the primal beast for Alanaan's cruel fate.

Righteous Sins: Scene 2

Several days after their battle with The Sun, Alanaan awakens to find his life was saved by (Captain) and the crew. The priest is unable to face the townspeople out of shame, but the crew offers him encouragement, saying it's never too late to start over. The next day Alanaan departs on a journey of atonement, and the church followers vow to protect the church until his return.



Several days have passed since (Captain) and the crew defeated The Sun in battle.
???: Aaaaahhh!
Alanaan: Huff... Huff... Wh-where am I?
???: Hey, (Captain)! Sounds like our Preacher Man woke up!
Lyria: How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?
Alanaan: You all... saved me?
Lyria: Yes. I'm so relieved you're finally awake. You've been asleep for three days.
Alanaan: (I guess I clung to life somehow...)
Alanaan touches the bandage wrapped around his neck and bites his bottom lip.
Lyria: Are you hungry? Can we bring you anything?
Alanaan: No, don't worry about me—
Alanaan: W-wait! What happened to that primal beast?
Alanaan: Are the townspeople and church members all right?
Vyrn: Don't worry! We beat that primal to a pulp!
Lyria: Everyone's perfectly fine!
Alanaan: I see...
Alanaan relaxes, relieved to hear that the town is safe. He then shoots (Captain) and the crew a pointed glance.
Alanaan: Why... did you save me?
Alanaan: I used you... I tried to destroy the world...
Vyrn: Well, yeah, but still... Whaddya think, (Captain)?
  1. The Arcarum primal is to blame.


Choose: The Arcarum primal is to blame.

Alanaan: What...
Vyrn: Yeah, you were tricked. It's not your fault.
Lyria: So please... don't hurt yourself like that again.
Alanaan: ...
Alanaan: ...!
Lyria: What's wrong?
Alanaan: I sense traces of the primal beast's power coming from ya, little lady. Why is that?
Vyrn: Lyria can absorb the power of primal beasts!
Vyrn: So it makes sense that you'd be able to feel the primal's presence.
Alanaan: What!
Lyria: The Arcarum primal beast won't do any more bad things. Don't worry.
Alanaan: I see... That's a relief.
Alanaan falls silent, and Lyria changes the subject in order to lighten the mood.
Lyria: Oh, by the way...
Lyria: The church followers and townspeople are working together to rebuild the chapel that burned down.
Alanaan: What?
Vyrn: You'd be in big trouble without a church, right?
Lyria: Everyone is waiting for you to come back, Alanaan.
Alanaan: But I'm... I'm nothin' more than a sinner.
Alanaan: I call myself a priest of the Church of Renatus, and yet I violated our commandments and allowed evil into my heart.
Alanaan: How can I ever face them!
Lyria: That may be true, but... that doesn't change the fact that everyone is waiting for you.
Lyria: This town needs you!
Alanaan: Hahaha... You're too kind for your own good, little lady.
Vyrn: Quit bein' such a chicken, Preacher Man!
Vyrn: Try thinkin' about how the townspeople feel!
Alanaan: What could a person like me possibly do for them?
Alanaan: I have nothin' left...
  1. Then you just need to start over!


Choose: Then you just need to start over!

Alanaan: What?
Lyria: (Captain)'s right! You said it yourself—it's never too late to start over.
Lyria: And besides... The church members and townspeople are just practicing what you preached!
Alanaan: You could say we think of the townspeople like family.
Alanaan: We all live side by side, and we're always willin' to help each other out, just like a family.
Alanaan: Sure we don't share the same house, but that's not important. We're all brothers and sisters who live and work together in the same town.
Alanaan: If the people are ever in trouble, our doors are always open. We'll do everythin' in our power to help 'em.
Alanaan: A church is a house that belongs to everybody, after all.
Alanaan: Sniff... Ngh...
Touched by the compassion of the church followers and the townspeople, silent tears stream down Alanaan's cheeks.
The sun rises on a new day.
(Captain) and the crew make their way toward the inn where Alanaan is staying, joined by the other church members.
But Alanaan is nowhere to be found. In his place they discover a letter.
Alanaan: If I stayed in this town, I'd be takin' advantage of yer kindness, and I wouldn't be able to atone for my sins.
Alanaan: Therefore I am choosin' to depart on a journey in order to cleanse myself of my corruption. I leave the church in yer hands.
Follower 1: Father Alanaan's gone... What are we supposed to do now?
Lyria: Don't worry, everyone! He just went on a journey, so that means he'll be back one day!
Lyria: Remember what Alanaan said!
Lyria: A church is a house that belongs to everyone!
Follower 2: Haha. Yes! You're right! The church belongs to us, to everyone!
Having seen the light of hope, the church followers vow to work together with the townspeople to protect the church for Alanaan's sake.
Judging by their passion, (Captain) and the crew can tell that the future of the town is sure to be bright.
