To an outside observer, Arwen might have seemed like a quiet and cozy town, but Tao clearly felt a palpable tension hanging over the place, painfully squeezing his soul and filling his heart with reckless determination. He had seen many times how such charming towns were instantly turned into ruined wastelands, and the stark contrast only emphasized the importance of the events that this place and its inhabitants were unwittingly destined to become the arena for.

—I believe that Kiera did not go into detail about our situation, and therefore, so that you do not get the impression that our goal is limited to the destruction of the enemy, I want to show you what the future of Aeolia looks like from the perspective of all members of the Trivium Kimiki, according to their secret appeals to the queen. Of course, this is only a brief summary of the original documents, but I will be curious to hear your views on this.

—Words, words, and more words. Loud, colorful, flattering, important, and yet still just words. You will say that words move armies, words command nations. But in reality, words are just a trick we invented ourselves. A fiction to give meaning and justify the actions that we ourselves take, of our own free will. Words will not raise the hand of the executioner; words will not destroy cities. Simple earthly creatures do not need words to understand each other. We invented them ourselves to hide the reality of our intentions, to hide the baseness inherent in our nature. Words are false and changeable, as are the sinful people who dictated these words to their servants. —Tao, as if coming to his senses, coughed slightly and hastened to finish his speech: —Ehh, what I mean is this: if we give in to the words of these liars, new ones will follow. There will be many new words, and much new pain that they will bring to the inhabitants of this glorious country. Of course, the time of words will come someday. It will definitely come in the future, when the revived Aeolia will sit down at the negotiating table on equal terms with the invaders who have bitten their greedy tongues. Then we will talk as much as we want. But now the time for words is over. Now is the time for action.
