- Oh, it's Shammi.
- Ah. Hapi.
- Strange. I didn't take you for the praying type.
- Good. I'm not.
- Thought so. Then what are you doing here?
- Just looking for some peace and quiet. This place
[cdb]seemed like the best option.
- Got it. Should I leave you be then?
- You're fine. I've had enough silence anyway.
- You don't strike me as the praying type either.
What brings you here?
- Eh, same reason as you, I guess. I just wanted
[cdb]somewhere quiet.
- But I don't mind if you're here, Shammi.
- All right. Mind if I ask you something, then?
- You just did. Heh, kidding. Go for it.
- It just occurred to me, but you used to live in Abyss,
[cdb]right? Under Garreg Mach?
- Did you ever see a pagan altar or statue down there?
- Ahh, you mean that big hunk of metal with the giant
[cdb]wings? Yeah, it's pretty hard to miss.
- Hold on, you know about Abyss? Did you go down
[cdb]there when you were a knight?
- No, before that. Have you heard of the Dagda and
Brigid War?
- After my side lost to the Empire, I was stranded in
Fódlan. Somehow I wound up in Abyss.
- Soon after I started living there, I ran into trouble
[cdb]with someone from the church.
- Fortunately, Rhea noticed me, and I got hired by
[cdb]the Knights of Seiros.
- Hmm, let me guess. You got into it with Elfie,
[cdb]didn't you?
- Elfie... The name sounds familiar, but I'm not sure.
- Interesting. Anyway, sorry. I kind of interrupted
[cdb]you there.
- Don't worry about it. So, that pagan statue.
It's actually of a Dagdan deity.
- No kidding? You're from Dagda, right?
- Yes. I think it was the God of Fate. I always
[cdb]wondered how it ended up there.
- No clue. It's probably been there forever.
- You know, I remember there was this one foreigner
[cdb]who prayed to it all the time. Like, really prayed.
She must've been from Dagda too.
- Most likely. It will have to remain a mystery for now.
- Thanks, Hapi. Is there anything you want to ask me?
- What, really? Hmm, let's see...
