Faros

Beware: a siren's mesmerizing charm lurks under her seemingly calm and rational words. Never show curiosity towards the unique appearance beneath her malformed helmet; never forget her long-lasting dissatisfaction with this humanoid body.

Her gleaming light once lured moths to its molten warmth. Her burning fire once guided the lost to their doom. Now, only confusion flickers in her lighthouse.

The past three years have seen a large number of shipwreck incidents in the Monge Triangle sea area, accompanied by several cases of totally missing.

According to a sailor's testimony, a "woman with a glowing head" has been witnessed on the deck of the victim vessel during the rescue operation.

The field investigators rushed to the Monge Triangle sea area, but his ship had lost contact after arrivial. When the reinforcements finally found the spearhead ship, it had already lost power, drifting by the current towards the center of the Monge Triangle. All crew members were severely dehydrated and feeble. Massive hallucinations with acute intensity have been reported.

During the medical examination of the crew, a Silvercore was found among Investigator Ivors' personal belongings. The investigator himself consistently denied any contact between the ship and any Awakener.

The Silvercore was later sealed by the Awakener Department, numbered 6291-S-S-01, scheduled to use as teaching materials for pre-investigators in A.F. 315.

Like a real lighthouse, most of the time her presence is nothing more than a steady glow at a corner, peaceful, isolated. Her words only illuminates when confusion stirs the air, while her guidances clearer than nautical navigation.

Only when she meets with other Aequor visitors does the light reveal her shadow, twisting under paranoid madness.

In contrast to her serene and intellectual appearance, Faros has unexpectedly profound knowledge in ocean voyages. Despite the unresolved suspicions of abducting and sacrificing sailors, she has assisted the university in revising numerous nautical documents under the Keeper's supervision.

According to feedback from sailors of cooperative vessels, Faros's revisions, though effective, often (though not clear whether she is intentionally or not) steer the course towards the Monge Triangle.

The university has then prohibited Faros from accessing any ocean-related materials.

The radiance of devotion illuminates her pilgrimage. A glorious ascension for the most devout follower of her true lord. A golden promise for the most loyal subject of her king.

It collapses. The Divine Realm is a sinking lie, a fortress without foundation, a vine drifting away from its soil. Her dolor billows. Her desolation turmoils. The remaining faith in the Divine Realm cannot keeps Faros afloat anymore. The poor wanderer eventually drowned.

Diving deep into the sea, her love and hatred agitates into swelling waves. The water whirls and spumes and eddies, splendor as the ceremony fireworks in her memory, a festival almost like a solace.

Her final torched gaze before being beheaded by the hero, must have been cling to the Divine Realm she couldn't forgo.

Return to her home, trace back to her origin, reunion with her lost dreamshe doesn't care how does her wish reflect in people's words. Even her body has altered to an Awakener, tides of her homeland still clamor in her soul.

The breath of sea-bottom volcanoes dissipated from her ears. The ocean's dreams writhing with ecstasies obscured from her eyes. Only her obsession with the Divine Realm still gleaming, more glorious than ever.

Mind her docility, a mere temporarily disguise. Her king's throne calls to her, like a lighthouse reaches through the aeons; her sacrifice will always be everything, like a wick's devotion to the light.
