====== V. Cat's Permit ======

----

==== 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 ====
//<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 ====
//<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>//

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 ====
//<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 ====
//<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.
