[ Anri passed on with an heir. Marth did not. Falchion's duty thus remained with him, even in death.
Tiki's question stung. It cut deep, even past the veil which concealed his recollections with a zeal even unmatched by the blade that bore his soul. Why couldnt't he remember? Despite all his efforts, the details remained stubbornly out of reach. A curse to bear, a punishment meted out most probably for a failure which he could no longer remember.
The prince cringed, one hand flying to where his heart would have been. His very form flickered, the aura around him dimming in synchrony with the fading light of Falchin's inset gem.
He spoke only after a good minute had passed, his faint words cracked and lacquered with barely suppressed pain. ]
... I - I do not know. My memory - is fogged beyond recollection. There are faces, and words, but their names - their names, their bonds, their hopes and dreams -
- all gone. I cannot - remember - anything. A curse, worse than time itself -!
