Line 4: Line 4:
  
 ==== 5-1 ==== ==== 5-1 ====
 +A thief reveals a few lies —
 +
 +//<color #993333>"The first lie is called..."</color>//
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Fellow thieves, come on and deceive gods with me!"</color>//
 +
 +The world has already forgotten that feast —
 +
 +Lies unnumbered that drowned the day of souls,\\
 +Schemes uncounted,\\
 +Burning for a night of revelry.
 +
 +Three hundred thieves shackled in imprisonment,\\
 +In exchange for a Titan's resigned confinement.
 +
 +//<color #efe4B0>"To have managed to trick the grandmaster of all tricks..."\\
 +"I can die happy now!"</color>//
 +
 +This was Dolos's great achievement, the <color #993333>deception of the gods</color>,\\
 +Where even Zagreus was fooled.
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 5-2 ==== ==== 5-2 ====
 +//<color #993333>"The second lie is called..."</color>//
 +
 +//<color #993333>"The God of Trickery is now naught but a wandering soul..."</color>//
 +
 +Why did she spare the Titan's life?\\
 +The young girl knew not, even after asking herself.
 +
 +Was it greed for the treasure they promised,\\
 +Or had she vaguely perceived their <color #993333>lonely fate</color>?
 +
 +//<color #993333>"Its because you're every bit as despicable as I am.\\
 +It's such a relief not having to deal with the noble."</color>//
 +
 +The girl dismissed\\
 +And made light of herself,\\
 +Only forgetting,\\
 +<color #993333>Trickery</color> was once a god that supported the world.
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 5-3 ==== ==== 5-3 ====
 +//<color #993333>"The third lie is called..."</color>//
 +
 +//<color #993333>"O Eternal Day, endlessly illuminate the holy city!"</color>//
 +
 +At Dawncloud,\\
 +The chaplain's secrets,\\
 +Foretold the coming of that endless night.
 +
 +//<color #993333>"But if my lies are more sophisticated,\\
 +Can the dawn last forever, no end in sight?"</color>//
 +
 +{{ :readable:saga:fleet-footed.traveler:cipher5-3.png?200|}}
 +Bearing the fate of the Thief Star,\\
 +The girl was long used to walking in shadow.
 +
 +But as she gazed towards the <color #993333>holy city's dawn</color>,\\
 +Her duty became fixed in her heart, stalwart in might.
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 5-4 ==== ==== 5-4 ====
 +//<color #993333>"The fourth lie is called..."</color>//
 +
 +//<color #993333>"There's no reason. I just don't want to see you again."</color>//
 +
 +The girl tried to mask her nonchalance,\\
 +But could never fool the golden thread's questions.
 +
 +But it is the false-hearted malice\\
 +That most powerfully forces belief.
 +
 +A true Flame-Chase hero willingly faded from attention,\\
 +While the wayfaring traveler grasps tight onto fleeting light.
 +
 +She used divine power to forge a mask,\\
 +And conceal <color #993333>the last of her true heart</color>.
  
 ---- ----
  
 ==== 5-5 ==== ==== 5-5 ====
 +//<color #993333>"The fifth lie is called..."</color>//
 +
 +//<color #993333>"No. There are no more lies left."</color>//
 +
 +The whimsical coin fell to the ground,\\
 +Telling the tale of fate fulfilled.
 +
 +Travels unwitnessed,\\
 +ruses unknown,\\
 +To whom may these now be told?
 +
 +{{ :readable:saga:fleet-footed.traveler:cipher5-5.png?200|}}
 +//<color #993333>"Lies are always but lies...\\
 +But you can make them more beautiful than the truth."</color>//[(Spoken by Aglaea.)]
 +
 +Under the somber sky,\\
 +Golden blood soaked the thief's cloak —
 +
 +Like a olden thread, tailored just for her,\\
 +An exquisite robe, that she never stole.
