D-Didn't you hear me? I'm a really bad guy...everything I got was what I deserved...

[ercnerd]

Sure. If you ask me, you sound like you were the worst kind of villain. I wouldn't have trusted someone like you.

I don't know what happened to effect your change of heart, but the Mandricardo I've met in this dimension doesn't seem like someone who'd cut down everyone here like they were grass.

[duranduel]

[Change of heart? Dying will do that to you, I guess....]

Well.....um......yeah, I guess I wouldn't..............

[ercnerd]

What's with that half-hearted answer? . . . Do you actually want to hack all of us up?

[duranduel]

N-No! No, I don't! Absolutely not! Never ever!!!

[ercnerd]

Haha!

. . . Listen here. Dying doesn't always change a person.

[It just happened to change the two of us.]

Some souls are stubborn to the core. But if you've already gotten what you deserved, I don't see the need to vilify you unless you do something abhorrent now.

[duranduel]

Um.

[THAT THOUGHT, SIR...]

I don't know...I don't even feel like I deserve to be in the Throne of Heroes. I mean, I just stole a horse one time that belonged to someone else...

[A pause.]

You...didn't die before you came here, did you? I feel like it's a pattern...

[ercnerd]

[He looks at Mandricardo for a second. A horse.]

I died centuries ago. I was just given immortality to reverse my death.

[duranduel]

[Sometimes the horse has a name and belongs to a Big Famous Guy and it makes you slightly famous for it! Funny how that works!]

I-Immortality? Sieghart...how did that happen? Bathed in the blood of a dragon? Got dipped in a magical river?

[ercnerd]

[Thieving a horse . . . How heroic.]

If there was a magical river in the middle of Archimedia, half of the continent would be immortal.

It's not a big deal. A tribe of immortals performed an operation to make me one of theirs.

[duranduel]

[he did a lot of crime, grand theft horse was one of them]

...Um. A tribe, huh....why?

[ercnerd]

. . . Because they were kind. They couldn't abandon someone who was dying in front of them.

[duranduel]

...

[Oh.]

That's...real nice of them. That's somethin' to be super grateful for.

[ercnerd]

I was grateful, of course.

[It was unbelievable kindness. They accepted me as one of theirs, so I abandoned my identity and joined them. But—]

But what's this about the Throne of Heroes?

[duranduel]

[He abandoned his identity...what a massive turn of events.]

G-Good for you! Um. And the Throne of Heroes is where Servants are summoned from. It's a place that, like, exists in its own world.

[ercnerd]

[Hm. Thoughts are so troublesome.]

And you got there by stealing a horse?
