"I suggest you see Konahrik for yourself. You may be surprised." Hannibal said as he lightly slammed his staff down on the ground, causing spectral Ancestor Moths to appear and transfer the leaders' minds to Hannibal's...

-

The leaders appeared as untouchable ghosts. Hannibal took on the same form.

The group appeared somewhere in Skuldafn of the early Merethic Era, where the time of the Dragons began to reach it's final conclusion.

Hannibal nodded towards a slim but muscular man, holding Konahrik's mask. Hannibal's past self can also be seen.

''"Well, I guess it's all over now. We blocked the only path to Skuldafn through a massive avalanche." Hannibal said.''

''"But what of the other priests? We'll leave them to their fate?" Konahrik asked.''

"it has to be done. None of them are willing to listen to us at all. Caius is doing what he's best at doing, but we haven't been able to reach him since."

"...He's likely dead, or living the life of a fugitive of the High King's kingdom. *Sigh* "

"Either way, there's no turning back. We're practically trapped here. Unless centuries pass."

"I'm afriad so, friend. But we promised our people that they will live the remainder of their lives in peace. and we must fulfill that agreement."

"This is where me and Konahrik finally agreed to live out the remainder of our lives in peace. It has been a very long time since he saw Caius." Hannibal said.

The area began to morph into a new type of area. It looked like a First Era of Eastmarch, in an unknown town.

"Are you sure this is wise, friend? Leaving home is like leaving memories behind." Hannibal noted.

"Nonsense. If we are to truly live out our lives, we must learn how to integrate." Konahrik said.

"I hope what you're saying is right, because I can't afford staying in a damp place."

"Pfft."

The two head for the town and disappear. The vision soon switched to Konahrik meeting up with a beggar girl.

"S-Spare a coin..?"

"..."

"Please..?"

"...Girl. You shouldn't be begging on the streets. Where are your parents?"

"They're... They're dead... My mother died when I was very young... I never knew her very well...

My father was a soldier for King Harald... he went out, and one day... he never came back..."

"I see... Girl, would you want a new home?"

"H-Huh..?"

"I'm saying that I'm offering you a home. You never have to worry about begging ever again. I'll make sure that you'll always have a hot bowl of stew and a soft bed for you on the end of the day."

"I... I... I don't know what to say..."

"A blizzard's starting. Come on. We need to get inside."

Hannibal sighed. "This is where it all began. That child. Kirsta." He said. "The child was the one whom turned Floyd Heart-Fire into a loving father. A father whom always looked after his adopted daughter."

"...Until one tradegy twisted his mind..." He lamented.

"...What do you mean she's dead?!" Konahrik vehemently shouted at a Alchemist.

"I-I'm sorry, sir. We tried every cure we can mix on her, but her disease is something we haven't seen before. I'm afraid she has passed on... I am sorry-"

Konahrik then grabbed the alchemist at the neck with one hand, robbing her of air until she died.

"...Twisted by unspeakable anger, Konahrik laid waste to the entire settlement he once called home. She vowed to use her power to change the world. If not, she would destroy it." Hannibal said.

The vision converted into Morokei and Volsung facing Konahrik amidst a field full of corpses.

"Enough, Floyd! This has gone way too far!" Hannibal tried to reason with Konahrik, calling him by his full name.

"Savages... Why didn't you tell me about Kirsta? I could have saved her... Saved her by using my power...

Kirsta.. she was my life... she was everything to me... We will see how you like it if you lost everything dear to you..." Konahrik vehemently growled at them before facing the two priests...

The vision changed to Konahrik finally defeated. Hannibal and Caius could barely stand.

"It's no use... I can't... send... him... to Aetherius..." Hannibal said.

"Do it... Wipe her of her memories about our betrayal... I have an idea... that may end all this..." He told Caius before the vision ended.

Hannibal shook his head.

"Konahrik was no ordinary being. Even if he or she was to be killed as a mortal, the soul will always survive, due to it's incredible desire to cling into the concept of vengeance against the mortal world.

We never fully succeeded in giving Konahrik peace. Moreso beat it completely. So I told Caius to alter the Warlord's memories into erasing anything about both of our betrayal.

We knew that for Konahrik to be truly beaten, he must accept that Kirsta is gone, and that even if the body perishes, the spirit lives on." He told the leaders.

"And so, it falls upon all of you, to help two old men right the wrongs they failed to correct. Before we go back to the real world, do you have any questions?
