With it, I will have a comprehensive intelligence that exceeds my current system, which is only a mere backup.
Hm, perhaps you should use Wyrmlord's avatar for the Prima Doll in conversations? :)

Rue's route, Part XIII: The Call of [Relic]

jRyeu.gif
Look, look! I'm fully recharged now! I feel great!
9RNgr.gif
Great news, guys. I'm almost finished with the amulet.
mpIZY.gif
That's great! It won't be long before we break the seal.

XrFo3.jpg


jRyeu.gif
That's what I was created for: to open the door to the [relic].
9RNgr.gif
We're counting on you.
jRyeu.gif
Hey, Rue, what do the lake ruins look like? I kind of wanna see them.
mpIZY.gif
The ruins are in the middle of a lake, so we can't get there now.
jRyeu.gif
No, really?
mpIZY.gif
I'll get a boat when you're ready. Can you wait till then?

KQ9NG.jpg


:hmmm:
Suspicious. Perhaps lightbane and spekkio were onto something, we should be more careful.

mpIZY.gif
Should I get the boat now, Doctor?
9RNgr.gif
You don't need to get a boat if you just want to see the lake ruins.
jRyeu.gif
Really? Where can you see them from?
9RNgr.gif
Go to the lakeside. You can get a clear view from there.
jRyeu.gif
Come on, Rue! Let's go to the lakeside!
mpIZY.gif
I don't care, but...

lAqMt.jpg


mpIZY.gif
What if something happens?
9RNgr.gif
He'll be fine with you.

Yeah, what can possibly go wrong?

jRyeu.gif
Rue, come on.
9RNgr.gif
Go on. You need a little break for a change.
mpIZY.gif
Ok. Let's go, Prima Doll.

mpIZY.gif
This is the first time you've been outside of town, huh?

jf8KZ.jpg


jRyeu.gif
It smells good. It's so warm and comfortable out here.
mpIZY.gif
It's because of the sun.
jRyeu.gif
Oh yeah... I've been trapped inside that cold box all this time. I never knew the outside.
mpIZY.gif
......
jRyeu.gif
Rue, let's race!
mpIZY.gif
What?

What sort of hideous trap is that?

m56Sc.jpg


mpIZY.gif
...Ok. Let's do it.
jRyeu.gif
Don't cheat, ok? On your mark! Get set!

rH8mp.jpg


0o8MB.jpg


mpIZY.gif
You're fast, too. You were right by me.
jRyeu.gif
You think so? That was fun! I've never run like that before. Hey, there are the lake ruins... That's where the [relic] is, right?
mpIZY.gif
Yeah. The Aeon Valen's [relic] is in there somewhere. (Almost Claire, almost...)
jRyeu.gif
Rue? You ok? You look sad.
mpIZY.gif
I'm fine.

jARbz.jpg


jRyeu.gif
I've seen that sad look on your face before. It seems like you're in a lot of pain, but you try so hard to hold it in.
mpIZY.gif
......
jRyeu.gif
Aeon's [relic]... I was born... I was created to unlock the seal on the [relic]. That's it... That's my only duty in life.

tJKZO.jpg


jRyeu.gif
Rue... Where should I go after that? I'm just a tool, a key to open the door to the [relic]. After you get the [relic], I'll be of no use, and I'll... I'll be nothing...

V5ljI.jpg


jRyeu.gif
I am...
mpIZY.gif
Listen to me... You're forgetting something very important. You're forgetting that you're alive. We often take it for granted, but just being alive is a wonderful thing. As long as you're alive, there's always a chance... There's always hope. I've got a great idea. After this is over, let's try to find something fun that we can do.
jRyeu.gif
Rue... You're so boring...

lLXsY.jpg


jRyeu.gif
Thanks, Rue.

Something must've put Prima Doll on alert and he decided not to act just yet. I'll be keeping my eye on him...

9RNgr.gif
Hey. Did you get to see the ruins?
jRyeu.gif
Yeah! They were neat! I raced Rue in the forest, too!
9RNgr.gif
Sounds like you had fun.
jRyeu.gif
Yeah! It was really fun.

fOYlJ.jpg


9RNgr.gif
Oh yeah! I have a little present for you. Here you go.

ByFob.jpg


mpIZY.gif
Is that-
jRyeu.gif
It's the amulet!
9RNgr.gif
I just finished it. Ok, try it on.
jRyeu.gif
This is weird... It's really refreshing. Wow, I feel great! Oh yeah! It feels like the sun. I feel so comfortable.
9RNgr.gif
I'm glad to see you happy. Looks like it worked. Well, Rue, this is it. We're finally ready to break the seal on the [relic].
mpIZY.gif
Yes!
jRyeu.gif
I'll do my best, guys!
9RNgr.gif
That's the spirit! Ok, let's go to the lake ruins!

DpMTZ.jpg


9RNgr.gif
Of course! Why wait!? Come on!
mpIZY.gif
Whoa, you're drunk as hell!
9RNgr.gif
What are you talking about?

Klaus falls on the floor.

9RNgr.gif
Ouch.
mpIZY.gif
You ok, Doctor?
jRyeu.gif
What's wrong!?
9RNgr.gif
...

Later...

sKEQJ.jpg


jRyeu.gif
She's right. He stayed up all night to finish the amulet.
mpIZY.gif
I think you need to rest, Doctor.

rJkq5.jpg


rn60f.gif
Please, Dad! You have to rest!
9RNgr.gif
I can't...
rn60f.gif
Mom's really gonna worry if you go now.
9RNgr.gif
I can't believe this. I've waited so long to get the [relic].
mpIZY.gif
Doctor, we don't have to go now. While you rest, I can get things ready.
jRyeu.gif
What are we gonna do?

syPem.jpg


jRyeu.gif
Why not? We just went to the lakeside. Oh yeah! You talked about this earlier.
rn60f.gif
What? What are you talking about?
mpIZY.gif
We need a boat to get to the lake ruins.
rn60f.gif
Ohh, that's right. The ruins are in the middle of the lake.
mpIZY.gif
I'm gonna go and try to borrow a boat. Please rest until I get back.
9RNgr.gif
Thank you, Rue.
rn60f.gif
Come on, Dad. You have to rest up for that boat ride.

lMdVI.jpg


YlKr7.jpg


And ask we did.

HagHt.jpg


mpIZY.gif
I came here to ask you for a favor.
Re4Uk.gif
Oh boy... Alright, what's on your mind?

Psjug.jpg


Re4Uk.gif
Well, you came to the right place. I'm the man that can get you there. My ACV's the best
ride around.

F1UKh.jpg


The words are a ragged, dead chorus, as if being spoken by five, ten, twenty, a hundred voices - old, young, female, male, desperate, calm, hysterical...

Re4Uk.gif
Rue, are you all right? I thought I'd lost you for a moment... You want my help, you gotta pay up front. You know what I want, don't ya?
mpIZY.gif
...No, I don't.
Re4Uk.gif
Think.
mpIZY.gif
...I remember now. Is this what you're talking about?

Rue takes a battle stance.

v5Hvu.jpg


Re4Uk.gif
That's what I'm talking about! Tell you what. Just this once, I'll fight you free of charge.
mpIZY.gif
So, if I win-
Re4Uk.gif
Yeah! Yo, who do you think I am? Rod the Blade Star never goes back on his word. You win, I help. It's as simple as that. So, no need to hold back, alright?

My tooth is all jiggly now. Gotta stay away from meat for a while.
mpIZY.gif
Sorry about that... I guess I lost control.
Re4Uk.gif
Hey, no prob. I told you to bring it on, and you did. I was prepared for some hits. Alright, you win. I'll take you to them ruins, as promised.

qZiM3.jpg


VeSID.jpg


9RNgr.gif
That's great! I guess you're ready then. Are you going to leave now?
mpIZY.gif
Yes.
9RNgr.gif
Good... I hope everything goes well. I'll stay here and wait for the good news.

Re4Uk.gif
My baby's ready to go!

16s7m.jpg


mpIZY.gif
Wow...
Re4Uk.gif
I know. Isn't she a beauty?

RKVrC.jpg


Re4Uk.gif
The love of my life. The Pulsar-inferno Typhoon Omega! The greatest ride in the world. Nothing can top this baby's speed.
mpIZY.gif
Where did you get this?
Re4Uk.gif
I can't tell you that. It's top secret.
jRyeu.gif
Wow! This is so cool! Rue, we get to ride in this thing!?
mpIZY.gif
Yeah.
jRyeu.gif
Alright! I love boat rides.
Re4Uk.gif
It's not a boat! Don't EVER call my baby a boat! It's the Pulsar-inferno Typhoon Omega.
jRyeu.gif
Rue, come on! Let's get on the boat.

2aPjA.jpg


Re4Uk.gif
Ok, get in.
mpIZY.gif
What is this noise?

1ZNGC.jpg


Re4Uk.gif
There are 5 cannon orbs that juice up the driver to thrust my baby. It's the sweetest sound in the world. We're at maximum power. Ok! You boys ready!?
jRyeu.gif
Go!

This baby's dynamite, so hold on tight!
jRyeu.gif
Go baby, go! Pulsar-inferno Typh- Oww!! I bit my tongue...oy.
Re4Uk.gif
Ha-ha-ha. My baby's so intense, you can't even say her name! Alright, listen: Pulsar-inferno Typh-Agghhh!
mpIZY.gif
...Rod? You ok?
Re4Uk.gif
... I'm fine.
jRyeu.gif
Hey! You bit your tongue, too! Haa-haa.
Re4Uk.gif
Hey, Rue! Where's this channel that leads to the lake?
mpIZY.gif
It should be coming up soon.
Re4Uk.gif
Ok! Time to speed up!

DT4dV.jpg


NgG17.jpg


Re4Uk.gif
No prob. I'll come back to pick you guys up before lights-out.
jRyeu.gif
Bye, Rod!
Re4Uk.gif
Later, boy.
jRyeu.gif
Rue!
Re4Uk.gif
Whatever it is you're up to, just do it all the way, alright? With heart!
mpIZY.gif
... Ok, Prima Doll. Let's go get the [relic]!

bo1ff.jpg


I don't like the sound of this...

mpIZY.gif
(Claire, this is it... Finally, I can get you back.)
jRyeu.gif
What's wrong, Rue? Come on, let's go.

2RslB.jpg


jRyeu.gif
This is weird...

dj83r.jpg


jRyeu.gif
I know exactly what to do here, too. It's amazing. Everything I need to know is coming back so naturally.

That's so weird. Oh well. Let's begin!

AcYCp.jpg


jzkFq.jpg


mpIZY.gif
East Heaven Kingdom... The kingdom of sorcery.
q08Yk.gif
Indeed. For the last 700 years, our kingdom has protected this [relic]. It is our duty to see that this [relic] does not fall into the wrong hands.

rMwek.jpg


XHriN.gif
Ordinary men are not permitted to handle them. They might bring about world destruction. The most powerful [relic] created by the great Aeon Valen is sealed here. You have come to break the seal, no!? Be gone immediately! I absolutely forbid it!

rLTPr.jpg


mpIZY.gif
You won't let us have the [relic]? Is that what you're saying?
XHriN.gif
It is forbidden! You must leave at once!
mpIZY.gif
NO! I need the [relic], no matter what. I've searched for so long and finally found it. I don't care what you say! I'm taking it!
XHriN.gif
Who do you think you are!? Do you honestly believe that you can handle the power of the [relic]!?
mpIZY.gif
I WILL! To save Claire, I will!

clIHl.jpg


XHriN.gif
I'll use the power of my [relic] and see if you are worthy of Valen's.

LZO8U.gif
Don't worry about it.

LZO8U.gif
Of course. Just leave it all to me. Duke. Get the Hexagon ready.

Yes, Your Highness. Please, rest assured, I won't kill him.

You still intend to fight...? Admirable, but unwise.

To you born of dew, I command. Accept your destiny and seal your powers!

q08Yk.gif
Quite impressive. It may prove useful.
mpIZY.gif
R-Run... Run, Prima!
jRyeu.gif
Hey! Put me down!
q08Yk.gif
The time has come... Prima Doll, open the seal to the [relic].
jRyeu.gif
No!

BAJNr.jpg


q08Yk.gif
What?
jRyeu.gif
I won't do it. I'd rather... Rue... Thanks, Rue. It was short, but I had a lot of fun. Please don't die. ...Goodbye.
jRyeu.gif

Shall we pursue them?

We must secure the [relic] first. I will use the Book of Cosmos.
q08Yk.gif
Yes, Your Highness.

LZO8U.gif
Oh gosh... I'm so tired.
mpIZY.gif
Mint, can you tell me what's going on?

zSqNj.jpg


LZO8U.gif
Oh, you mean about Belle and Duke?
mpIZY.gif
Yeah.
LZO8U.gif
Ok, I'll tell you about it over dinner. Belle and Duke are waiting for me at the tavern. I'm gonna go ahead, ok?

w6yaI.jpg

RiPaz.jpg


E5YhX.gif
I guess you're fine, since you can walk. Good for you.
LZO8U.gif
Have a seat. I'll tell you what you want to know. Hmm, where should I start...?

kH7Jz.jpg


E5YhX.gif
I wanna ask Rue something. I saw you fighting at the lake ruins. Gotta admit, I was surprised. I didn't think you were that tough. So I'm curious. Why are you fighting so hard? Why are you so set on getting the [relic]? You wanna tell us?

bdwh4.jpg


Later...

SApXp.jpg


E5YhX.gif
I'll be damned... That's quite a past you're carrying. You sure are strong, Rue.

m8PnG.jpg


E5YhX.gif
Yeah. Did you hear that, Mint? Mint's been doing nothing but trying to double-cross you.
mpIZY.gif
What...!? Really?

TiFYV.jpg


E5YhX.gif
She said if we give back the tiara, she'd share the [relic] with us. So we gave it back and decided to go along with it.
d5X1O.gif
We were layin' low until the Prima Doll was complete.

I2LdB.jpg


E5YhX.gif
You didn't know we were there, huh? We were waiting for that doll to break the seal.
d5X1O.gif
After the seal was gone, the rest would be easy. We just take the [relic] and disappear.

GwCOv.jpg


E5YhX.gif
Mint planned the whole thing.
mpIZY.gif
Mint...

YKwqP.jpg


LZO8U.gif
Hey, wait a minute! Actually, you guys should be thanking me. If I didn't lead the way today, you'd all probably be dead.
E5YhX.gif
Yeah, right! Don't try to change the subject!
LZO8U.gif
...
d5X1O.gif
What are we gonna do, Milady? That lady Maya is probably guarding the lake ruins.
E5YhX.gif
I haven't thought about it yet. Ah, I'm too tired to think...! I need to get some rest. Let's go.
d5X1O.gif
Alright.

uQi1u.jpg


We need to rest too.

Sometimes fighting Rod gets a little annoying, because Johnny Wolf (his best pal) keeps getting in the way.

We scout the area near the newly raised tower.

QExUI.jpg


SV7vX.jpg


mpIZY.gif
How am I supposed to get to the ruins now? Prima...

dZOUL.jpg


MgNcg.jpg


q08Yk.gif
A mere tool petrifying itself to protect the [relic] was quite surprising.
XHriN.gif
It testifies to the danger of bringing the [relic] back to this world.
q08Yk.gif
In that case, I would suggest this:

ffO9K.jpg


XHriN.gif
What do you mean?
q08Yk.gif
I mean, we should unlock the seal to the [relic]. Why take the risk of it falling into the wrong hands? It would be safer in our hands. We can use the Prima Doll to unlock the seal. The doll's petrification can be removed with the Book of Cosmos. What do you think, Your Highness?

fBpzH.jpg


XHriN.gif
Our duty is to prevent the [relic] from ever returning to this world!
q08Yk.gif
But Your Highness-
XHriN.gif
Enough. We must never come in contact with Valen's [relic]! Do I make myself clear?
q08Yk.gif
...Yes, Your Highness.
XHriN.gif
Doll Master, listen well. Excessive power only leads to destruction. Do not make that mistake.

Maya goes away.

What now, my lord?

I got busted up. Rod is a monster! :codexisfor:
Re4Uk.gif
Nah, you did good. It was pretty close. Heck, if we go again, you might win.

d5X1O.gif
Damn, I thought I'd have a chance with my Starlight Duke, y'know?
mpIZY.gif
What...!? You dressed up as a star again?
d5X1O.gif
Yeah!

rikqx.jpg


Re4Uk.gif
My hits hardly did any damage. What'd I do? Hit you like 300 times...? Duke! That costume's one heckuvan armor. Let me try it on sometime. I think I might be able to use it for my next weapon.

YcohU.jpg


Re4Uk.gif
Sometimes, you even gotta make a fool of yourself to come up with a weapon.
d5X1O.gif
Oh yeah... I went by the lake a while ago to check things out.
mpIZY.gif
I went there too.

OPQf1.jpg


d5X1O.gif
That place is dead. They haven't made a move since that tower came up.
mpIZY.gif
......
Re4Uk.gif
I wouldn't worry about it. Don't do anything stupid, or you'll just play into their hands. Just sit back and wait for their next move.
d5X1O.gif
Yeah, I guess so... I'm gonna get some rest now. Milady's gonna kill me if I don't get back soon. See you, Rue!
mpIZY.gif
Good night.
Re4Uk.gif
You should get going, too. Get a good night's rest and re- energize. My guess is, they'll make a bid move real soon. You're definitely gonna need all your energy then.
mpIZY.gif
......
Re4Uk.gif
Sometimes, you gotta stop running. For now, just bear down and keep your eyes open.

The traitor is revealed!!



Doll Master, listen well. Excessive power only leads to destruction. Do not make that mistake.


Says the weak, you can't never have enough power/dakka! Besides, she says that having one of the most powerful relics of the world, hypocresy much?

Thank you, Rue. I had so much fun pulling your leg.

Wh... Why?
AMk5S.gif
Why else? To lure you here. It worked like a charm. You're so full of passion. Please don't hold a grudge, ok? I have to admit, I became very envious of Claire. To be cherished so much that you'd risk your life for her... She must've been a very special lady.

I must say I'm surprised. You're associated with my sister, yes? I figured you would be a hopeless ruffian, just like her.
mpIZY.gif
(Her sister...?)
XHriN.gif
... I still can't believe it. The Book of Cosmos has been dismantled... The Book is an Aeon [relic]. Doll Master is a powerful magician, but he couldn't have done this. It's impossible. The Book must have been dismantled by something else. Rue, maybe it was you. There's incredible power resting within you.

It doesn't look like an ordinary stone. I believe it holds tremendous powers.

...... I don't know anything about this stone. Actually... I don't know who I am... I don't know anything about myself.

mpIZY.gif
Atenacius?
XHriN.gif
He's the Aeon who created the Book of Cosmos. I'm sure he'll be able to answer all your questions.
mpIZY.gif
I thought Aeons were all dead.
XHriN.gif
You're right. Atenacius died a few hundred years ago. But just before his death, Atenacius sealed his spirit in the Book of Cosmos. To this day, he still resides here. But only in spirit.
mpIZY.gif
Do you really think he would know anything about me?
XHriN.gif
Atenacius is a powerful Aeon. There is nothing that he doesn't know. In any case, we must see him. Without his help, we won't be able to escape from this world.

Yes. As you can see, Atenacius has merged with the Book of Cosmos.

...That explains why you destroyed the Book.
q08Yk.gif
Yes. It was the only way I could take his powers. With Rue's help of course...
XHriN.gif
But why!? What is the reason behind all this!? Tell me at once!
q08Yk.gif
As you wish.

q08Yk.gif
We were brought to this world for one reason alone. Our fate was determined long ago.

F42OM.jpg


q08Yk.gif
His powers rivaled those of the gods. This Aeon made an incredible [relic]. That [relic] embodies all the forces in the universe. It is the purest form of crystal.

XHT4a.jpg


q08Yk.gif
With the ability to control time and all of nature's creations, it is the ultimate power in this universe.

ykZXc.jpg


3cylz.jpg


q08Yk.gif
In essence, it is a microcosm of our universe. To inherit Dewprism is to inherit the universe.

eVCd5.jpg


q08Yk.gif
But the incalculable power of the [relic] brought about his downfall. The other Aeons were startled by Valen's creation and saw their peer as a major threat. Eventually, they became mad from fear and envy, and attacked him

aCrze.jpg


0d0dd.jpg


q08Yk.gif
His body was destroyed... but not his spirit. Valen sealed himself in another dimension. And he has taken the Dewprism with him. Valen bides his time in an impregnable dimension. All the while, his enemies age and die. Despite all their powers, Aeons are not immortal. With every passing moment, his enemies dwindle.

i37t4.jpg


q08Yk.gif
I have just destroyed Valen's last enemy, Atenacius.
XHriN.gif
Wait! Does that mean Valen is going to be resurrected!?
q08Yk.gif
...Not yet.

fB9aN.jpg


q08Yk.gif
It can't be destroyed from the outside or inside. And Valen himself can't remove the seal to escape. At this point, Valen and his Dewprism, will be confined in the dimension forever.

Daemon-spawn? One so hopelessly ignorant of his origins should not be so quick to insult another's parentage, brother.

q08Yk.gif
They were created for the sole purpose of one day breaking the seal and resurrecting him.

4x2Zs.jpg


q08Yk.gif
The stone on your forehead... It is a life stone, a fragment of the Dewprism. It holds powers beyond this world. It is what destroyed the Books of Cosmos.

TCxtH.jpg


q08Yk.gif
You have the power to free him. You and your life stone. It is your duty.
mpIZY.gif
My duty...
q08Yk.gif
Yes... Our duty... We exist for Valen. It is our duty to bring him back to this world. The time has come to resurrect our sovereign.

q08Yk.gif
We're the same, Rue.

q08Yk.gif
You awakened 5 years ago... I awakened 100 years ago. Unlike you, I retained everything. I remembered my duty as Valen's creation. Unfortunately, I am Valen's failed creation. Look at my stone. My life stone is dead. It has no power... I cannot fulfill our duty alone.
mpIZY.gif
That's why you came after me?
q08Yk.gif
Yes. 3 years ago, that night...
mpIZY.gif
WHY!? Why did you kill Claire!? You only wanted me! You killed her for no reason!
q08Yk.gif
That was an accident.

ioIy8.jpg


mpIZY.gif
You bastard!
q08Yk.gif
Calm down. After we fulfill our duty, I'll bring that woman back to life. Once Valen's is resurrected, we can use the power of the Dewprism to revive her. That will solve everything. Once she comes back to life, you and I will no longer be enemies.
mpIZY.gif
It doesn't matter! I'll NEVER forgive you! You think everything's gonna be fine if you just bring her back!? You're just toying with her life!
q08Yk.gif
Like I told you, you are my brother. I have no intention of fighting you. Rue, I have waited for you for so long. Now, let us fulfill our duty, together.
mpIZY.gif
I'm not your brother! I don't need your help! I'm gonna bring Claire back on my own. That's my only duty.
q08Yk.gif
So...you have no intention of joining me?
mpIZY.gif
Never! You're not my brother! You're just a monster!

DK74R.jpg


mpIZY.gif
What are you talking about!? You said you don't have the power!
q08Yk.gif
I have absorbed Atenacius's powers. With his powers, I'll be able to revive Prima Doll. That doll can remove the seal at the lake ruins and open the path to Valen's fortress where he rests.

He must be heading to the lake ruins. The only thing on that traitor's mind is Valen's [relic]...Dewprism. If Doll Master resurrects Valen... It'll be the end of the world.
mpIZY.gif
Can't you stop him with the Book of Cosmos?
XHriN.gif
I'm afraid not... With Atenacius gone, the Book has lost its power. I'm completely helpless now...

I have to go.
XHriN.gif

mpIZY.gif
I have to go there. Dewprism... It's the only way to save Claire.
XHriN.gif
You still insist on getting the Dewprism!? The power that can destroy the world!?
mpIZY.gif
I know...but I have to. When Doll Master used me to destroy your book, I was a helpless puppet. I can't believe we're both Dolls of Valen. And he's far more powerful than I am... But I can't give up! I have to defeat him, no matter what! He killed Claire... I'll never be at peace until he's dead. ...... I don't know anymore. I don't know what to do or what to believe... I might end up destroying the world.
XHriN.gif
Rue...
mpIZY.gif
I'm still sure of one thing. When Claire was killed, I promised I would bring her back. I know I'm just a doll. My feelings probably aren't real. But that promise I made was real. I know it was... I have to get to Valen's fortress somehow.

What can change the nature of a doll? He's rather quick to accept he's not human. A main character in a jrpg that DOES NOT suffer from angst attacks? Unbelievable.

As will probably be shown in one of the future updates, you can initiate some sort of psychiatrist sessions with various NPCs, if you want to.

Heh, still butthurt about Psychonauts, I see. :P

Sorry, Blackie, I don't really care about art style as long as the game is fun. I only hate Psychonauts's (= Tim Burton's) "artstyle" because of the kind of audience it attracts. Think a bunch of teenage 1eyedkings. It's thanks to those horrible creatures that anything else is better to me.
