"A knight once sought to defeat a demon lord who constantly terrorized the land. She sought advice from a sage, who told her this: The source of the demon lord's power lay in six stars, which were in turn guarded by six devils. Only after defeating the devils and obtaining the stars could the knight truly vanquish the demon lord and return home."

According to those who claim to have remained behind from the previous cycle, the only way for us to leave this city is to "win the game". Whether or not they are telling the truth, these people's words are all we have to go on at the present time. This fairy tale was told to me by the city's mayor when I asked her just how we would go about doing so.

If this is to believed, the six "devils" are most likely a direct reference to the schools' headmistresses and prefects, along with the mayor and one other person. I cannot say what the six "stars" are meant to represent.

I seem to remember hearing something else like this, about a knight and a demon lord, shortly before awakening on that train. "A demon lord had kidnapped a princess many times over, but no matter what he did, the valiant knight would always save her" -- and so forth. Does anyone have more information -- More snippets of this parable that may provide more insight?

In addition, I would appreciate it if someone would pass this along to anyone at Fortitude who cannot access the citywide network.
