 ==== 4-1 ==== ==== 4-1 ====
 +This is an age of ruin —\\
 +The Chrysos War ignites once more,\\
 +While Zagreus's taunts ripple through the city streets.
 +
 +This is also an age of splendor —\\
 +Three hundred thieves spring forth from Dolos,\\
 +Each scheming to conceal the truth from prying eyes,\\
 +Robbing the rich to give succor to the poor.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Every one of them deceives gods and men alike, righteous and valiant."</color>//\\
 +The Flame-Chase journey has been cut short midway,\\
 +Yet the girl pounds her chest at the <color #993333>Goldweaver</color>, not afraid.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"The Coreflame of 'Trickery' is near!\\
 +If now isn't the time to risk it all, then when?"</color>//
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 4-2 ==== ==== 4-2 ====
 +The prophecy reveals the Titan's trail,\\
 +Golden threads bind the fleeing god of thieves.
 +
 +//<color #efe4B0>"Nice trick, but why not release me...\\
 +I can show you where all buried treasures lie!"</color>//[(Spoken in Titan language.)]
 +
 +The young girl flashed a grin,\\
 +And walked towards the god who was pretending to smile.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"I once vowed the god of thieves...\\
 +That I would force 'Trickery' to reap what they have sown!"</color>//

 +The Titan whispered from the vortex,\\
 +The god of <color #993333>Trickery</color>'s earnest plea.
 +
 +They made a promise to the girl who entered the trial,\\
 +That the whole world would be bathed in light, no more lies and deceit.
 +
 +//<color #efe4B0>"If my divine authority is not inherited,\\
 +Shadowed lies shall never again be born.\\
 +And I, even having lost the Coreflame,\\
 +May yet scrape out survival here, in secret."</color>//
 +
 +The young girl recalled the hearth fire of her childhood.\\
 +//<color #efe4B0>"Cifera, only honesty is well-liked."</color>//
 +
 +She pursed her lips,\\
 +//<color #993333>"That does sound like...\\
 +Quite the ideal society."</color>//
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 4-4 ==== ==== 4-4 ====
 +//<color #993333>"Of course I didn't accept.\\
 +How boring would a world without deception be?"</color>//
 +
 +The young girl demonstrated her newly acquired divine power,\\
 +Molding lies into reality.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"The defeated Titan is now naught but a wandering soul..."</color>//
 +
 +But somewhere far away,\\
 +A purple Spirithief opened bleary eyes.
 +
 +hey had forgotten their previous life as a Titan,\\
 +And remembered only the girl's crafty message:
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Go, collect treasure, you greedy little grape.\\
 +Once you regain the memories of 'Trickery' from chests,\\
 +Then I will claim the reward for saving your life."</color>//

 ==== 4-5 ==== ==== 4-5 ====
 +In the days spent away from Okhema,\\
 +The girl grew accustomed to traveling alone.
 +
 +In a certain city,\\
 +She heard of a Spirithief, rumors aplenty.
 +
 +//<color #efe4B0>"Hehe1 I, Bartholos, master thief,\\
 +Shall take all you've labored to gain!"</color>//
 +
 +So saying,\\
 +The Spirithief steals the girl's coin pouch and fled without a trace.
 +
 +But a gust of wind brushed past,\\
 +And the girl had already caught them.\\
 +//<color #993333>"Running for it? Your life was saved by my 'trickery', you know."</color>//
 +
 +{{ :readable:saga:fleet-footed.traveler:cipher4-5.png?200|}}
 +The old god and the new finally reunite,\\
 +The two rivals who, from that moment on, became <color #993333>thieves and companions both</color>.
 +
 +It's just that the Spirithief's <color #993333>"companion"</color> was always scaring them —\\
 +//<color #993333>"Hey, the fish in the River of Souls are starving, y'know!"</color>//
