Humoring Waiting Sorrow's request, I ventured alone to meet with the rest of the allies. As suspected, Waiting Sorrow informed me that she had indeed discovered another of Mabon's memories. Eager to see what message Mabon had left behind this time, we gathered round to witness his memory. Upon our viewing, the wispy visage of Mabon revealed the very secret that he'd long been holding on to. We witnessed him pursue the titan—Saevus, according to Mabon—into the ruins of Bava Nisos. After confronting it, Mabon conjured what appeared to be a killing blow. However, at the last moment, he instead cast a protection ward over the city. In doing so, Mabon chose not only to spare the lone titan's life, but also to protect it from further harm. Why exactly he had this change of heart is not entirely clear. Was it pity? A sense of kinship over being the last of one's kind? When confronting the titan, I did notice that Mabon's words seemed to echo that of his altercation with Isgarren. The very one that began their friendship. In that moment, perhaps he sensed the futility of senseless killing. And rather than perpetuate the cruel acts of his kind, he gave Saevus the option to live, the same as Isgarren had given him. Or was it something darker—did he assume Saevus would die here, forever trapped? Whatever the truth may be, it rests with Mabon. The memory stirred a cacophony of emotions among all of us. For me, one particular truth still shone clear: if we're going to succeed, there's no place in our party for infighting and petty division. I firmly stated my stance, and the group agreed, some a bit begrudgingly. Nevertheless, I called Livia to check in. She reported that her efforts had succeeded in knocking out the titan's major organs, and she was now in the heart chamber wearing down the heart. Midconversation, the battle seemed to take a heated turn, and we lost the connection. We're headed there to provide backup and complete our objective as a unified team. ***
