A Chance
(On the rear balcony on the upper deck of the wreck of the Blackwyche, Shipwreck Bay.)
Fate, it seems, does not care for a fair fight.
By rights, our triumph at Molten Sands should have put an end to all that the Ancients have foreseen. The destruction of Flameheart's skull was a victory by any measure.
If we cannot prevent the Time of Resurrection, then we must change the rules. Fulfil the prophecy and summon Flameheart from the Sea of the Damned.
The vessel we have prepared for his soul will be his prison. A means of exiling him to forgotten shores, beyond the reach of his son.
To open the gateway, Pendragon has chosen to defy fate. His beloved blade will be forever stained by Flameheart's essence - and if we should fail, the Champion of Souls, who might have been our greatest ally, will be lost.

When the Reapers worked to bring six fortifications through from the Sea of the Damned, I should have known there was a greater purpose to it all.
Just as six Flames of Fate gathered at the Fort of the Damned can create a bridge between the worlds, so too can these bastions of cruelty.
The energies the Forts now channel infusing the Dark Relics hidden inside them. Relics we must snatch from underneath the Reapers' masked noses.
I have no hope of controlling the Sea Forts without aid, and nor does the Servant. It seems, therefore, our fates are once again in pirate hands...
