Memory 66 - Trivial Negative

Memory 66: Reborn and then...

Sob, this memory is going to be hard to link.

Memory goes here. Scroll down until you see "Looking at the sky." And then go through the next chapter until baby Ryner's death.

What he learns?
- Apparently he's been reborn before?
- He used to be triplets with Sion and Ferris. Which makes a hell of a lot of sense since he also knows Ferris used to be part of him. orz
- ... well that escalated quickly.
- So much for that reincarnation. :(

What this means in Aather?

Remembering your death as an infant isn't the most pleasant thing in the world. Aside from that, this memory will probably give Ryner feelings about Ferris being gone and the whole connection among the trio. That and some weirdness about once being related seeing as he's DATING BOTH OF THEM. /o\

Memory 67 - Significant Neutral

Memory 67: Stopping crystallization

Memory starts at 13:20 and lasts until Ryner attacks with Izuchi.

What he learns?
- Liir attacked Ferris with his Relic magic! D:
- Liir tried to activate his Alpha Stigma using some special stone, but he was able to fight against it by remembering Ferris and the people he has to live for.
- He was able to stave off Alpha!
- This is not the first time someone has tried to activate his Alpha Stigma that way...

What this means in Aather?

Well, he knows Ferris is all right because he's already remembered the rest of this memory, where he saved Tiir and the other Gods' Eyes children. He's antsy to know that someone has forcibly activated his Alpha Stigma before... but it is a HUGE relief to know that he can fight off Alpha when he really focuses on it. He knows that's probably because of the way Alpha was being triggered here, instead of it being an emotional reaction. But it's still better than nothing. It gives him hope in Three's block having some actual impact on Alpha. Also, this memory serves as a reminder of the people he's living for. Overall, this is a pretty timely memory.

Memory 68 - Significant Positive

Memory 68: Meeting Asruld for the first time

This probably should be Sig Neu since even Reed wouldn't view this as a super happy time. Oh well.

Memory goes here.

What he learns?
- He (well, whatever version of him that was) met Asruld after Asruld broke through some rift in their dimensional barrier while Asruld was fighting the Goddesses.
- Before Asruld showed up, it felt like he had been alone in that dimension for a long time.
- Asruld originally viewed him as a monster and tried to kill him, even as the Goddesses were trying to kill Asruld.
- This was the first time he saw Asruld (Sion)'s golden blood.
- He was able to fight off the Goddesses because contact with him caused them to disappear.
- The Goddesses also consider him a monster and did not want him to escape his dimension. Which of course made him even more lonely.
- He doesn't know what he is.
- He was happy to find Asruld, another outsider.

What this means?

As with all Reed's memories, Ryner is super disconcerted to have the memories of another person, especially fucked up memories involving the Goddesses. But Reed's overwhelming loneliness also seeps into Ryner after these memories too. There's also that thing about even the Goddesses despising him and calling him a monster and Reed's total lack of knowledge as to what he is. Ugh, what a mess. Still, there are also warm feelings at being around Sion, and Ryner can relate to that. :x
