On the way to Rotelro Bridge, we stopped in at Keterburg Bay. Emrls didn't
seem very excited about it.
When we reached the port, a Malkuth soldier tried to interrogate us, but
Emrls' quick thinking got us out of that, saying that he would report to the
governor of Keterburg instead. We're now headed for the town of Keterburg to
meet with the governor.
Wow! Nephry Osborne, the governor of Keterburg, is Emrls' sister! Nephry
was a really nice person, unlike Emrls.
Maintenance of the Tartarus would take some time, so we decided to spend it
looking around the town.
But just as we were leaving, Nephry pulled me aside and told me to come
see her alone, that she has something important to tell me. I wonder what it
is...
Nephry wanted to tell me about the reason Emrls invented fomicry. I don't
know how well I can sum it up, but I'll try and write it down here.
Basically, Emrls thought up fomicry as a way to replicate a doll that
Nephry broke. I guess that is kind of strange... Normally you'd just buy a
new doll. But anyway, that was the first replica he created.
Emrls was a genius even when he was young, but he was never really able to
understand the death of living things. He even killed harmless monsters just
for fun. It was Professor Nebilim, a private teacher, who changed him. But an
experiment Emrls performed out of curiosity went awry and killed Professor
Nebilim. He used fomicry on her while she was still breathing to try and
revive her. That was the first living replica created...but even though it
looked like her, it turned into a monster. Emrls then had himself adopted by
the Curtiss family and entered the army, all in order to revive Professor
Nebilim.
Nephry wanted me, another replica, to act as a deterrent to Emrls. She was
worried that he's still trying to revive Professor Nebilim. But he doesn't
look that way to me. I don't like him, but he does seem to have common sense,
at least now.
(He probably wouldn't want to hear that from me...)
Emrls knew what Nephry had told me, and he said he's not trying to revive
Professor Nebilim any longer. I think I can believe him when he says that...
He understands death now. I saw that at Akzeriuth. So he'll be okay...I think.
Emrls told me not to tell anyone about this. Yeah, I can't blame him. I
wouldn't know how to explain it anyway.
The following morning, the Tartarus was usable again. Time to get back on
course for Rotelro Bridge.
