Echocalypse: Scarlet Covenant story · Main story, Act 24: War Prophecy
117. Kasi Tribe
I've prepared for everything. But still, hearing the ''Ancient One'' from someone outside the organization makes me feel how absurd this world can be.
6 scenes, 70 lines
1. Kasi Tribe
8 lines
Uh... According to Horus' information, this should be where the Kasi Tribe is...
... It's too quiet here. Seems a bit suspicious. Not a single person in sight.
That's odd. Are we at the right place? Did we get the right coordinates?
Huh? Of course, I checked very carefully on the way. There shouldn't be any mistake...
...! Watch out!
An eerie silence filled the village. When the group felt something wasn't wrong, there was a sudden loud bang.
The group dodged quickly with Sova's shout, only to see that dust suddenly clouding where they previously stood, and a woman was standing at the very center.
, Teslovikers, I've been waiting for you.
2. Stage 117-3, before the battle
8 linesWhat's going on?! What on earth is she doing?!
... And you are?
I am Ifurito, Goddess of Flames, the chief of the Kasi Tribe. I've been waiting for you all.
Is this how you ''wait'' for us? In such a rude manner? Or is this some etiquette of the Kasi Tribe?
It obviously isn't...
I've heard of you. Teslovik... is said to be Rasparta's enemy. Today, let me welcome you with my flames!
Wh...!? Is she with Rasparta?!
Well... We'll find out later! Everyone, brace yourself for a battle!
3. Stage 117-3, after the battle
24 lines(Panting) Sh-she's so strong...!
... I see. I had heard about you, but... is this all Teslovik's got?
Oh? Did we let you down?
No, quite the opposite. Horus was right that you guys have integrity.
You deserve recognition for persevering to this point in a battle against me.
Ifurito then simply dropped her weapon.
Sorry, I was testing you guys earlier. Don't worry. We're on the same side.
On the same side...? Test...?
Horus has already mentioned you guys to me. Especially you, Awakener. I've always wanted to see how good you are as someone Horus particularly fond of.
Then, Horus informed me of your visit in advance, so I've come straight here to wait for you.
Well... Please allow me to introduce myself properly. I'm Ifurito, the chief of the Kasi Tribe.
Nowadays, only a handful of Nebu tribes are enemies of Rasparta, and my tribe is one of them. I've been working with Horus for a long time.
She already informed me about you coming to meet the priest of my tribe today. So don't worry. We can take our time and talk.
Huh? You're letting us meet the priest this easily?
Well, Horus told me this was an urgent matter. And she mentioned that it's related to Teslovik's top-secret mission.
Hey... Could it be that she doesn't know about the Book of Falco?
I'm afraid so. If even Anubis doesn't know about it, then it's not surprising that she doesn't know about it either.
In that case, we'd better avoid mentioning the Book of Falco in the tribe.
It feels like we're lying. I don't really want to do this, but it seems like there are no other options...
What's up, guys? It's rude to have a secret conversation right in front of me...
Nothing. So, can we meet your tribe priest?
We're here for a mission, and the priest is likely to have the information we need.
Yes, of course. She should be at the altar deep in the settlement. You can go there on your own. Don't worry.
Thank you. Let's go, guys.

... I've been waiting for you all.
At the altar of the Kasi Tribe, a woman in a vestment came out.
So... you are the Book of Falco's...?
That's right. I am one of the inheritors. Welcome, Teslovikers.
Awesome! We have many questions for you...
I know why you are here. You want to ask about the location of the Relic, right?
You knew about it before we even said anything. Did Horus contact you?
No, no one has contacted me. But I knew you all would visit these few days.
, That's because the Book of Falco foretold your visit.
5. Stage 117-10, before the battle
12 linesDid you know we were coming from the Book of Falco...?
Yes, I did. The Book of Falco is the Oracles from the ancient gods who formed Nebu, which also includes prophecies for the future.
Your visit to this place today and all that you experienced before are predestined fate from a long time ago. The future foretold by the Book of Falco will always come true.
... Now that you said it, Horus had said something similar. But are those so-called prophecies really this accurate?
Everything I said is true. This is why the commanders-in-chief of Nebu have always treated the Book of Falco as a top-secret and governed the country according to the guidance of the Oracles.
I believe I don't need to mention the natural disasters that happened in the past. Those who doubted the Oracles were severely affected by natural and man-made disasters, while the Nebu Alliance, who had always believed in the Oracles, was merely affected.
In addition, it was because of the power of the Echo Crystal and the rituals recorded in the Book of Falco that those who were once exiled to the underground could return to the surface today. These facts are undeniable.
Hm... You have a point...
This is great. If we go to the place foretold by the Book of Falco, we can find the Relic, right?
That's right. Please take this.
This is...?
This is what you all have been looking for, The coordinates of the Relic.
6. Stage 117-10, after the battle
9 lines... I see. The coordinates aren't far from here. We should be able to get there very soon if we hurry up.
Sigh, looks like we'll just go straight there then? When will I ever get back to Teslovik?
After finding the Relic, of course. Right, Awakener?
Yup. This is the only lead we've got. We don't have any other choice.
Oh well, since Awakener said it too, I'll just put up with it a bit longer.
Thanks for your guidance, Priest. We'll check out the coordinates right away.
Okay. Take care... Oh, one more thing.
What?
... Actually, there is another prophecy you all need to know.
