BARGHEST

[soulping]

[when you insert the key and open the door, you'll find another humble cottage - the space bends on the walls, but there is a single door that leads to another room; though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent. a wooden cradle sits in a plain room.

inside, a baby sleeps peacefully. when she stirs - calling for her parent, you are there to cradle her back to sleep.]

-

[slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby coos pleasantly, giggling jovially when you (presumably) make faces at her; she tries to pick herself up and falls over, but she does not cry; a disagreement between you and her lead to a thoughtful discussion; the young girl carries a large laundry basket to do chores; she buys a pet bird, looking so proud for having earned the money all by herself; then the wall becomes opaque.]

[in the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 stands, smiling at you. a bird with beautiful plumage rests on her shoulder.]


[this is your daughter. you tried your best to rear her, and she's been good to you. you know she is capable of anything if she puts her mind to it - even becoming a princess. but you also know it's not easy to become a princess - better she become a princess than go off to war, though. you could not stand to see your baby girl die on the battlefield. what will be will be, though - all you can do is try your best.]

Unfortunately, it is not a toy that can be bought in stores anymore, as they are all handmade and the craftsman passed away a few years ago.

Thief
Con. . . gratulations?
You're not really sure if you should get congratulations. Your daughter did not succeed in the Summer Festival—not only that, but it seems she has flunked out of her classes, too. She has taken advantage of her learned skills, and now is a thief on the road. You're. . . not sure if this is really something she's happy with. You wonder if you could have done better, and sometimes, you wish you did.
