Tragic Souls: The Abyss Watchers

Описание: Happy New Year everyone!

We are kicking off 2018 with the Abyss Watchers! It was an interesting experiment. I wanted to really challenge myself with this one, making it all flow with all the different voices for the Abyss Watchers and with Manus chiming in as well. I think that glimmer of hope and acceptance is what made the Artorias video hit home so hard. With that in mind, I tried to take this one in a familiar yet, fresh direction.

Thank you for watching!

Transcript:


Thou hast entered my domain.


Stay away.


There is nothing but dark waiting for you here.


As it waited for me.


Even so, we pursued.


And we suffer for it.


Again. Again. Again. Again. Again!


Again. Again. Again, again, again, again, again!


There ya go, it never gets easier does it?


Seldom one would think, things that can carve out a warrior's spirit, like cutting down his own comrades.


The men you that you felt cold with, the men you shared you tears with.


The men you shared your successes, and your failures now.


The abyss can never be truly Hell. If we are not alone.


You Abyss Watchers and your brotherhood never cease to amaze me.


What camaraderie is there? Suffering with men whose names you can't even remember.


There is one name we remember. Artorias the Wolf Knight.


But I showed you the truth, didn't I?


Your Wolf Knight, your brave warrior that you emulated yourself after, was nothing but a failure!


The truth was hard to hear. It almost broke us. But we realized something very important.


If Artorias fell to the abyss. Where is he now? He is not here.


So perhaps. We won't be one day either.


Childish delusions...


Are they now? You normally have so much to say. Yet your witty retorts have run cold, Manus.


Artorias was remembered through the ages, as a legend. You Abyss Watchers are nothing but pretenders playing dress up!


Mere mortals living in the shadow of a false idol!


Who will remember to come save nameless warriors?


Perhaps another warrior with no name. Who knows, maybe even an unkindled.


This is lunacy!


That only a mortal can know.


Gods have no hourglasses. There time is not fleeting, but we were raised on an eternal truth. That the end will always be nigh.


So go on... The Abyss Watchers stand ready. Say what you're going to say...


...Again.
