[hagrides]

I am afraid today I have a slightly more serious query for you, my friend.

If someone believes that they have successfully hidden something from you, would you allow them to continue to believe that, or would you tell them that you knew?

Assume that your course of action would be the same whether or not you were aware of their intent.

[teaserving]

i guess it depends on what the secret is
but i would probably tell them i knew
unless it would hurt them

[hagrides]

I am uncertain.

He is trying to sabotage the Ritual. That which passes the heart of the god from me to my child.

[teaserving]

ok
can you tell me a bit more about this and what it entails? this sounds pretty damned serious

[hagrides]

It is. It is the most serious that anything could be.

We are summoned to a land. The one who summoned us is the partner for this Ritual - they assist my child in absorbing the flames of this dead land, so that they may grow. We battle, and the flames of battle feed my child further.

At the end of the Ritual, I die, but my child absorbs all of my power. The heart of the god I carry passes to my child, so that the god may be sustained.

[teaserving]

they don't want you to die
is that it?

[hagrides]

Yes.

They are a dear and precious friend to me. How lucky I am, to have someone that makes leaving so difficult.

[teaserving]

i cant say that i blame them grimm
you're really nice and kind
and i'm really always flattered that you consider me a friend when i don't really know that i've earned it
it sounds like you've made up your mind and they're just gonna have to respect that

i know one day some important people to me are gonna die and there's probably nothing i can do about that
i wish i could
but sometimes we need to make peace with that

[hagrides]

You are more worthy than you think you are.

Death is a difficult thing to think of. It is a necessary part of life, even when it happens to those close to you, but it is painful. I would not presume to deny him that pain.

[teaserving]

sometime i'm gonna have to tell you why that isn't the case

yeah.
still he gets my sympathy.
when will the ritual happen?

[hagrides]

In my time, about a day from now, depending on when the Knight chooses to complete it. [The boss fight is difficult, so it could take a while.] In the time the Knight comes from, and the time my dear child has been summoned from, it has already happened.

[teaserving]

then it'll happen probably no matter what anyone does

you should probably talk to your friend about this grimm
maybe they'll see that the time here spent will be like a second chance or a way to extend what time you have left

that's how i've been seeing it

[hagrides]

They have not joined me here, so that conversation will have to wait. But it has been weighing on my mind.

Thank you, my friend.
