escape to the garden and be here. Thank God it took you out of (?).

K:  Ah. It's no use this door won't open.

E:  Damn. Isn't there any way out? Aren't you underneath the arbour?

K:  There is.  There is another door across from the cathedral.

E:  Cathedral.  That's right, there's got to be another way out, a secret
    passage or something.

K:  Secret pass...

----Edward interrupts.

E:  OK.  Let's split up.  Koudelka.  Start from that door.  We'll go along the 
    wall.  Find a place to regroup.  Clear? (speaking very quickly)

K:  Got it.

E:  Koudelka...

K:  Yeah?

E:  Don't get killed.

K:  Same to you.

****You agree to meet Edward and James in the library.

Scene: Koudelka is in the graveyard and kneels to pray at the grave of St.
Daniel.  The "mummy" from the coffin suddenly appears behind her.


****You feel the presence of someone behind you...someone you have met
    before...

R:  Ooh repent now, judgement day is near.  The cacophanous sound of the seven 
    bugles will consume the heavens, and all sinners will burn in the fiery 
    wrath of the Lord.  Er, but I, no, I do not die, hmhm.

    Death knows no boundaries. It is an integral part of each and every life.
    Death is ultimately an act of grace and love from the Lord.  Aha.

----He sees Koudelka

R:  Ooh.  A blessing, is it not?

    Daniel Scotius erigana...blameless soul.  That man has not a heart to be
    found in his body.  Though I do thank him for building the monastery here.

----Koudelka rises to her feet.

K:  And you are?

R:  Where are my manners?  Hello.  My name is Roger Bacon.  I am a monk from
    the Franciscan order.

----They shake hands.

K:  A monk?  And I thought you were a mummy.

----Koudelka folds her arms.

R:  Yes, you are quite right in your assessment of me.  Sun-dried kippers may
    be more pleasant to look at than my shrivelled up appearance.  There was a 
    time when I was hailed as the foremost warlock, but my profession seems to 
    go in and out of fashion with the passage of time.

    Can't do much about that, can I?

K:  You are a strange man.  That's if you can be called a man.

R:  I have given up being a man many hundreds of years ago.  I am no longer a
    person, though I hesitate to answer questions concerning my existence,
    because I have yet to figure out exactly what I am.

K:  That's fine.  It's not that I need to know anyway.  But tell me.  Why were 
    you sleeping in such a strange place?

R:  I have never been able to awake in a good mood.  And I just planned to rest
    for a while.  What year is it anyway?  Are we still on the Gregorian
    calendar?

K:  Are you trying to fool me or are you being serious?

R:  Of course I am being serious.  The clock I own was too big for the coffin.

K:  It's 1898.

R:  Lord have mercy.  I've been asleep for close to a hundred years.

K:  Well, I guess there are some things that can still surprise you.

R:  Watch out.  When life no longer has the element of surprise that is when
    you are walking down the path to the Lord.

----Roger walks towards Koudelka and looks her up and down in appreciation.

R:  Anyway.  As a token of my appreciation I'm going to keep the metal gate
    unlocked for you.  Go through the gate.

----Koudelka walks to the steps.

K:  Why would you do this for me?

R:  It seems to me that your friends are running amok inside the monastery
    grounds.  They are making so much noise.  Would you kindly tell them to 
    keep it quiet?

Scene: In the library area.  Koudelka rejoins the two men in the room with the
printing presses.


E:  Koudelka!

K:  Edward.

E:  Thank goodness you're OK.

K:  That's not completely the case.  I have some bad news for you.  I saw the
    caretakers, both the husband and wife.

E:  Really?  Where were they?

K:  They're dead.

    Apparently they were the ones responsible for killing all the thieves and
    desperadoes that were sneaking into the monastery.  And with good reason.

J:  No.  I don't believe it.

K:  (voice raised) You should know very well what has been going on.  Ogden was
    trying to avenge the death of Elaine.

J:  The death.  Of Elaine?  I don't believe it.  This is preposterous.

E:  Who is Elaine?

K:  I have no idea.  All I know is that Elaine's spirit called me to this
    place.

    Tell me, who is Elaine?  And Patrick?

    The caretakers told me that robbers broke into Elaine's home while Patrick
    was away and murdered her...Elaine was a benefactor for the caretakers, and
    they took it upon themselves to murder every single robber and desperado
    that entered the grounds.  It...was a form of revenge for them.

J:  (speaking for the first time quietly and without anger.)
    I am originally from Ireland you see.  Although small, my family had a
    successful business and were soon able to send me to school, which I loved
    from a very early age.

    I was soon accepted to a prestigious university in England.  With my
    parents' assistance I made my way across the ocean.  I met Patrick at
    university.  We were both studying chemistry and embarking upon similar
    paths.

    About that same time I, I began competing for the love of a beautiful
    woman. Elaine.  And we had a falling out.  I loved Elaine with all my
    heart.  Omnia vinset (?)amour.  But love does not conquer all.  I soon
    discovered that I lacked the social status and inheritance money necessary
    to properly care for someone so well bred and sheltered as Elaine.

    I gave up my suit and made way for Patrick.  To ease my pain I joined the
    church and left the secular world behind.  And being the perfectionist that
    I am, the Vatican made me a bishop and in charge of some very important
    matters.

    But it's been so hard to distance myself from one's emotional attachments.
    Although I have not seen them for twenty years, I wished them all the best
    in their life together.  And if it hadn't been for this, I wouldn't have
    thought twice about seeing Patrick again.

    That's right.  Patrick.  How can this be?  He promised me he was going to
    take care of Elaine and make her happy.  What could have happened?

K:  Being a witness to the gory aftermath, I have a hard time believing that
    the caretakers were acting on revenge alone.  Believe me.  It was an
    unimaginably heinous sight.  And what about these monsters that keep
    appearing?

    No.  There's a bigger secret we have yet to uncover.

----Koudelka holds hold out her right arm, in her hand, the key.

    This is the key to Patrick's mansion.  Shall we go?

Scene: They are in Charlotte's cell where there is food on the table.  They
fight some furniture and then Charlotte appears. (Without the letters)


K:  Charlotte.  If you keep this up you are the only one that's going to get
    hurt.

C:  I'm not fooling around.  I don't want your pity.  I've had enough.

K:  Charlotte listen to me.  I understand you.  We're very similar you know.

C:  You could never understand me.  How could you?  I've never been out of this
    place.  I was born.  I was executed.

    On the day I was born a priest came to me and said: Dear Lord, please
    accept into your glorious kingdom this poor sinful one.

    Tell me?  What did I do that was so bad?  Is it my fault that I was born?
    If I was born just to be killed  why did she have me?

K:  Oh then just...my mother died of me (?) too.

    I've been alone ever since I was a little girl, just like you, that's
    why...

C:  That's why what?  That's why you you understand me?  That's why you're like
    me?  Don't make me laugh.  You're not like me.  You're alive.  What do
    you mean?  You're alone?  What do you mean, understand?  Give me a break.
    (angry and sarcastic tone)

K:  Oh Charlotte, I'm so sorry.  I want you to understand.  I really...

C:  A curse.

K:  What? (shocked)

C:  A curse upon you.

K:  (gasps) Charlotte.

C:  On you.  On your friends.  A curse upon you all.  I will kill everything.

    Why don't you all just die.  Die!  When every thing's dead and gone then
    you will be the same.  Only then will you understand my pain.  I know what
    it is to be (?) for.

K:  Charlotte.  Do you know what these are?

----She shows the letters and they rise up in the air, and as they near
    Charlotte they dissolve.

K:  They are letters from your mother.

C:  My mother?  Letters?  There are so many.

K:  Did you know that your mother was the queen of Hanover?  It seems that
    after you were born in secret, your mother was locked up inside Aldernay
    Castle.

    Even while she was imprisoned there she sent many letters to you here at
    the monastery.  She never laid eyes on you, but she often imagined what you
    look like.  She dreamt of the day when she would be able to see you.

    Her letters never got to you, and she was never told of your death.  So she
    continued to write you letters, even after you died.

    Your mother loved you Charlotte.

----A white light swirls around Charlotte.

C:  What?  No. I can't take this now.  She loved me?  No.  No.  It's too scary.
    Hey, I feel warm.  What's happening?  No.  Help me.  She loved me?
    I hate you.  I hate you.  Don't (?) away.  You.  You.

Scene: After defeating the monster in the Portrait Room in Patrick's Mansion
they stop in front of the the portrait of Elaine.  She appears.


E:  So this is Elaine?

K:  Yes.  She's the one I had the psychic vision of.  Do you doubt it?

J:  No indeed. (said with reverence and awe)

K:  Good.  Let's begin.

----Koudelka holds up her arms.

----Elaine appears out of the portrait and Koudelka collapses to the floor.

El: It has been a long time indeed Mr O'Flaherty.

J:  Oh Elaine. Is it really you?

El: Yes.  It is.  It is such a pity that we meet again in this way and I can
    only present myself to you in this form.

    This is the woman that responded to my voice is it not?  Thank you for
    doing this for someone like myself.

J:  Elaine.  I haven't yet come to terms.  Please tell me how this happened to
    you?

El: Of course I will explain.  James. (said gently with affection) Eighteen
    years ago I was murdered by some thieves that broke into my home.  I was
    helpless.  Both Patrick and Ogden were out on business.  There was nothing
    that anyone could do.

J:  I will not accept this.  This should not have happened. (in anguish)

El: Yes.  Patrick responded the same exact way.  He could not accept my death.
    He spent years and years perfecting his craft of wizardry, and tried
    everything in his power to bring me back to life.

E:  Resurrecting the dead?  Is this for real?  I mean we're not talking about
    Frankenstein here.

K:  Frankenstein?

E:  That novel written about a hundred years ago.

El: He was taking it very seriously, and he had found the key to actually
    make it happen.

J:  The Emigre Document.

El: Yes.  With Ogden's assistance and the powers from ancient Druids he  held a
    resurrection ceremony in this monastery.

K:  But something went wrong, didn't it?

El: He only resurrected my physical body.  As you can see, my soul is still
    doomed to roaming the universe, forever separated from my body.  And the
    terrifying thing, is that my body is resurrected as a heartless monster.

K:  Monster. (whispers)

El: Although the monster may look like me, it is not me.  Mr O'Flaherty.
    Please.  Turn my body into ashes with your power.

J:  Ashes.  But if I do that I won't be able to bring you back to life! (in
    anguish)

El: Mr. O'Flaherty I was robbed of my life by those thieves and I could hate
    them as mortal enemies.  Choose to think that my death was pre-ordained by
    the Lord.  Please do not mourn my death.

----She reaches out to comfort James who is standing with his head bowed in
    despair.

El: It was wrong for Patrick to try to resurrect me, to undo the work of God.
    Please do not be sad.  Death is at the heart of God's reason.  I urge you
    to destroy my body.  Its existence defies the wise providence of Heaven.
    It mustn't exist in this world.

----She disappears.

J:  Wait.  Elaine.  God. (weeping) Cursed.  What a cruel world.  I gave
    everything for her happiness and now what am I left with?  I have no
    meaning in my life.  God.  What have I been doing with my life?  Elaine!
    Elaine! (shouting and weeping)

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/image/197752.html?gf=183

Scene: Inside the secret library in Patrick's Mansion they come across Roger
Bacon again.


R: ...Around here somewhere..hm..well.  What took you so long?

K:  Roger!

E:  Aren't you the mummy from the coffin?  Since when have you two been
    acquainted?

R:  I am no mummy.  My name is Roger Bacon, and I'm just like any normal old
    man.

E:  I have been around for twenty years and I have yet to run across an old man
    as abnormal as yourself.

R:  I see.  Well I have been around for more than six hundred years and I have
    seen plenty of ABNORMAL people just like myself.

J:  My dear old man.  Might you be related to the great warlock Roger Bacon who
    made such a name for himself in the thirteenth century?

R:  You are very knowledgeable.  I am that warlock Roger Bacon you speak of.

E:  You mean to tell me that you were born in twelve-ten and have been alive
    and well until the present day of eighteen-ninety-eight?

R:  Actually to be precise I was born in twelve fourteen.

J:  Koudelka.  What type of a joke is this?

K:  That's my question.

R:  This is no joke.  I am the reputable Roger Bacon.

J:  Very well then.  If you are truly that Roger Bacon then you will be able to
    tell me with whom and where you studied.

R:  That's easy.  I entered Oxford in twelve-forty-seven and studied under the
    tutelage of Robert Grosseteste, although as my professor I would not
    consider him  to be a wise man.

    I penned my masterpiece Opus Majus as well as numerous other books on
    natural science.  Being a visionary pioneer. (shouting)

    Hm.  I must say that my work has influenced generations of work that
    followed.  But alas, in hindsight, that work pales in comparison to the
    work I did copying the Emigre Document for the Pope.

J:  The Emigre Document.  I figured you would know about that book.

R:  Of course.  It took me five years to copy the book in its entirety.  I know
    everything there is to know about the book.

K:  What is it about?

R:  It unravels the secrets of life that extend far beyond the largest sphere
    (?).  It speaks of the secret rituals conducted by the ancient race of
    Formors on immortality.  The Formors would claim the lives of the
    resurrected as their own.  They reversed the laws of nature and the cycle
    of life.

    When the Druids took over the Celts, Alexander the Great penned the Emigre
    documents in Greek, for placement in the Great Library.

K:  Resurrecting the dead.  It is true.

R:  It has long been considered the most dangerous work of literature.  It was
    safely guarded in the caverns of the Supreme Pontiff's quarters.  But
    apparently, the book was not able to withstand the wears of time over
    generations, and the Pope decreed that a new edition be created by copying
    the full text.

    That is where I came in.  The Pontiff requested that I copy the book word
    for word.  And when the work was finished, apparently I was supposed to be
    killed.  But I am not one to be dealt with so carelessly.  I secretly
    escaped, and eventually I made my way to the secret land referred to in
    the text of the Emigre Document.

E:  And the secret rituals?  Don't tell me.

R:  You need look no further than myself.

K:  And you succeeded.

R:  Hm...though I cannot perform the same on others.  Yes.  I have been able to
    escape the hands of death.  But I have not been able to escape the roots of
    existence which are the seeds of change.  My body is not immune to change.
    As you can see by my hideous appearance.  Hm.  I have had nothing to do
    other than roam the earth for the last three hundred years.  I've seen all
    I can take of mankind's cruelty.

    So.  I returned here.  For some rest.  Well...hm...enough of this gossip.
    I've got some research to do.  May I ask to be left alone?

Scene: They return to see Roger again after getting Patrick's research notes.


R:  Um, I know it's here.  I saw it here.  I put it here.

----Roger notices the three.

R:  What?  Have you come round to see me again?

J:  I want you to look at this.

R:  A research journal.

K:  I want you to tell us whether what's written there can actually happen or
    not.

R:  Well.  Let me see.  Yes, yes, I see.  Well that's right.  Resurrecting the
    dead.  Hm.  A cauldron.  The Branwen tales indeed.  Yes.  It is most likely
    that the events detailed here did take place.

J:  Just as I thought.

E:  But that's so frightening that...

R:  Personally I have not attempted it.  I am certain that the Emigre Document
    contained accounts of secret rituals conducted to resurrect the dead.  But
    as you can tell from reading this, it involves complicated predatory work.

    I have given up discerning the impossibility of using the psychic powers
    necessary to create such an immense psychic platform.  Moreover, I would
    never have expected that people would attempt to challenge such a feat.

K:  The journals say that the physical body was resurrected but not the soul.

R:  Absolutely.  The Ancients held the secret to life in the palm of their
    hands.  Hm.  But they could never come close to touching the secrets of the
    soul.  They resurrected the dead in order to use their physical bodies as a
    workforce.  Thus building the great civilisation we ofttimes speak of.  In
    fact, we would not be far off if we called them...puppeteers.  Heehee.
    Exploiting the human body as an object.

E:  If so then...

R:  Yes, resurrecting the dead and restoring them to life as it was before
    death is impossible.

J:  Then how do you return the resurrected body once again to earth?

R:  That (long pause) is a very complicated question.  Since it already defies
    universal logic.

J:  Please.

R:  It is no easy task.

J:  Tell me how.  It is what Elaine, God rest her soul, wanted.

R:  Right.  Hm.  It is not...absolutely impossible.  But, I would need to call
    forth the sacred powers in order to complete such a feat.  Hm. (thinking)
    Yes.  I know the arm of Daniel Scotius, the man who built this monastery,
    is stored in a stone statue on the ground.  If, if we, throw that into a
    cauldron we will successfully destroy the roots of the tree of life.  Hm.
    After that I haven't a clue whether to call forth the energies of fire,
    or entrust the task to water.  It is so complicated.

J:  Fire or water.

K:  What are we going to do?

R:  Oh Heavenly Father bless our souls and bring forth an end to this
    suffering.

    Oh...Hm...er, oh...

----Roger wanders away.

Scene: After defeating the monster in the chapel they find the door to the
Temple.  It is large and locked and there is apparently no way to access the
main Temple through this door.


K:  This must be the Temple.

E:  There is no way.  You could put a bullet through and it wouldn't budge!
    What are we gonna do?

K:  How ironic to have made it this far and not have access to the temple.

J:  Koudelka, Edward.  You both must go now.  It is my friend that is
    apparently responsible for this disturbance, and therefore I am partially
    responsible for this trouble.  I have no intention for asking for your
    sympathy, and I am no position to plead for your help.  So from this point
    forward I can manage on my own.

----Koudelka moves to face James.

K:  Don't kid yourself.  We didn't come along just for your sake.

E:  No.  Koudelka you should go back now.  It'll be far too dangerous.

K:  Edward, you're the one who should go home.  You were not meant for this
    world.  Granted you are a good fighter having had plenty of experience, and
    I won't deny the fact that you have the killer instinct either, but when
    all is said and done, you are an average Joe.  I am not.  I was meant to
    exist in this realm.  It's the only place I can carve out an existence for
    myself.

E:  Quit lecturing me!  I want no part of a lukewarm existence filled with
    regret.  No.  My way is to not worry about consequences and to do whatever
    it is that I want to do.  Chance means nothing to me.  Life's a gamble and
    once you place your bet you better play to win or else you end up dead.

K:  Edward.  You really are ridiculous. (laughing).

E:  That's what they tell me.

J:  You do as you like.

----James walks to look more closely at the door.

E:  That I will.

K:  Suddenly when you feel like it you decide when you can and cannot open
    doors?

J:  Wait!  There's a way.  Remember when we were searching Patrick's mansion?
    There was various chemicals around.  It may take some time, but I think I
    can combine the chemicals to make nitro-glycerine.

K:  Nitro-glycerine!

E:  That's great!  You're talking powerful explosives here.

J:  For this door I think we'll need a full flask.  Indeed if I drop the flask
    before I return I'll be knocking on Heaven's door in a flash.

----The ominous sound of the deep chime of a bell is heard.

J:  I go and it is done.  The bell invites me.  "Fear not Duncan for it is the
    knell that summons thee to Heaven or to Hell." (quoting Shakespeare's
    Macbeth)

Scene: While James is busy with his chemicals, Koudelka and Edward relax with
bottles of wine in Patrick's study.  Their talk is punctuated by long pauses
while they drink from the bottles each holds.


****James has decided to remain in the laboratory in order to make nitro-
    glycerin.

J:  I'm going to begin my work.  Could you two wait for me here?

----Koudelka and Edward are sitting on the floor either side of the blazing
    fire in Patrick's study each with a bottle, and they have obviously been
    drinking and chatting for a while.

K:  (laughing)... and then, what happened to the girl Melody?

E:  She was gone the next morning.  She left with practically everything in the
    room.

K:  (laughing)  You don't have much luck....do you?

E:  You know what they say: the cleanest break up is when a woman runs out on
    you.

----Both laughing.

K:  But you're lucky, I mean to have so many people to kid around with.  But
    for me, I'm all alone.  Been all alone all my life.

E:  But what about your childhood?

K:  Yes I did have a childhood.  I was born in a small town in Wales right off
    the banks of the Taliesin river.  That was a small gypsy town.

E:  Gypsy?

K:  That's right, gypsy.  Though we didn't call ourselves gypsy.  We called
    ourselves "wrong".  See, a true gypsy is born under the blue sky.  And is
    destined to die under the same blue sky.  It's gypsy law.

E:  So then I guess you plan on dying underneath the blue skies?

K:  Hm.  Every gypsy is given a name at birth.  My given name was Zlato.

E:  Zlato.

K:  Mmhm

E:  It's got a strange resonance to that name.  What does it mean?

K:  I can't tell you. (laughing)

E:  That too must be part of the law?

K:  (laughing even more) The law it is.  ...Ha hm.

E:  You know ever since I met you, you have an enigmatic mysterious glint in
    your eyes.  It must be the gypsy in you.  "The glance from thy soul
    searching eye can raise with hope, depress with fear."

K:  Byron again?

E:  Yeah.

K:  You must really like him, don't you?

E:  Yes.  Somehow I feel as though we're birds of a feather.

K:  Then he must be self obsessed as well. (laughs)

E:  I'd rather be classified as a romantic. (sighs)

    My father was a strict man.  He couldn't forgive his son for failing
    academically.  He blamed my failure on the time I wasted inventing
    adventures, dreaming of utopian landscape.  I was brought up to believe
    that dreams, the power of the imagination, as well as all the things I
    loved as a child, were useless.  A complete waste of time.  It was as if he
    was telling me I was useless.  Then again.  Maybe just that.

    I think I probably was born too late.  By the time I was fifteen everything
    there was to be done, had already been done.  The western territories
    were colonised, the jungles had been explored.  There was no wilderness for
    me to wander in to.  No jungle for me to cut my way through.  I guess
    that's how I ended up roaming the country.

    Oh granted.  I picked a few fights along the way.  Played with fire.
    Gambled on my life a few times.  But none of that comes close to the truth
    I'm searching for.  I yearn for something far greater.  I can't quite
    explain myself.  It is as though I am on a quest for some intangible
    treasure of sorts.

----Sad music begins to play.

    Koudelka, I envy you.  Psychic powers that few are blessed with.  And being
    born a gypsy, you can choose to live how you wish.

K:  And who gave you the right to act as if you figured me out?  Do you have
    any idea how I was raised?  Ha.  You make me laugh.  Adventures.  Please.
    You haven't the slightest clue.  Do you have any idea how much pain my
    psychic powers have brought me?

    My father died when I was only a child.  I predicted the exact time, place
    and ending of my father's life.  Imagine that.  Predicting your own
    father's death.  Hm.  No, I was cursed as a child.  Being given powers not
    meant for a child.  And my mother?  Huh.  She, she was so frightened and
    full with hatred for me, she tried to kill me with her very hands.

    The gypsy elders got together and decided to excommunicate me.  I was only
    nine then. (said softly)  Do you have any idea how a nine year old child
    survives, without the help of a living soul? (getting angry)

    Treasures!  You must be joking!  Have you ever cried and begged for your
    next meal?  Did you ever sell your body seeking shelter from the frigid
    night air?  Huh.  I used to be just like Charlotte.  When she cried and
    said: No-one has ever loved me.  Argh.  Those words cut straight through
    me.  It was me she was talking about!

    Just like her, I wished that everybody would die, and harboured a hatred
    for all mankind.  But you see, Charlotte has made her peace.  Hm, hm, hm.
    {dismissive laughter)  Gone to heaven.

----Koudelka waves her free arm in the air in a gesture of dismissal.

K:  Me?  I'm still alive, (in mocking despair) and still all alone.  No-one
    ever lends a helping hand.  No-one!

----Koudelka gets to her feet and begins to stagger while confronting Edward,
    who stays on the floor.

E:  Koudelka, you?

K:  I am not as free as you make me out to be. (getting more drunk and angry)
    I am a poor dirty ignorant woman who threw her gypsy pride to the dogs, in
    order to live.  But you see, even someone like me can do good...with my
    powers...I can ease the pain of others.  That's when I feel good about
    living.  I don't need to be loved.  I just want my life to have some
    meaning, and just want someone to tell me they need me. (almost in tears)

----Koudelka staggers and folds her legs to sit down again.

    You, huhuh, no way you...would ever...understand.  Humph, humph, (a
    snorting laugh that is more like a sob)

----Koudelka ends up half curled up, the bottle at her side and her back to
    Edward, quietly sobbing.

----There is the sound of the door opening and James' voice is heard.

J:  It's done.  It's completed.

****James has finished his work.  You got "Nitro-glycerin".

    paraffin and begins to pour it on the ground.

E:  Hey what are you doing?  What's that...No.  Don't.

J:  I am not asking for your help.  This is my problem.  None of you need to
    die with me here.

       message.  FMV


****If you throw "Daniel's Arm" into the cauldron and call upon the power of
    fire...

    Do you want to throw Daniel's arm in?  Yes/No.

----James has the arm.

J:  Are you sure?

----Edward nods.

J:  Let's proceed.  St Daniel Scotius protect us from these evil spirits and
    grant us inner strength.  Amen.

----James holds the arm above his head and drops it into the cauldron.

----They start to run as the plant comes to life.

K:  Go!

----The plant smashes a window in the church.

J:  Now.  Created and born out of dust.  Now.  Go quietly and return to thy
    maker!

----James throws the lighted lamp at the plant and they leave by a broken

Scene: After climbing up the outside of the church they go back inside to see,
at the top of the tree, a large closed flower.  As they approach it opens, to
reveal the monster Elaine.  FMV


****You feel a pulse.  Previously steady, it suddenly beats faster and faster
    until it feels as though the plant will explode.

----As the flower opens Koudelka moves forwards and uses her pendant to deflect
    its power.

----Elaine runs around the walls like a spider and Edward shoots until she
    falls to the ground.

--------------------------------
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/image/197752.html?gf=251

Scene: The monster Elaine is hovering over them all.  Edward is knocked out
and James and Koudelka are on the ground apparently helpless. James begins to
speak while holding a large cross towards Elaine. FMV

J:  Dear God is this my fault?  Do you blame me?  Are you punishing me now
    because the path of my faith was tainted?

----He gets up and moves forwards.

J:  I accept my fate.  If it is your wish then I accept my fate.

    He who has an ear let him hear.  If anyone is to go into captivity then
    into captivity he will go.  If anyone is to be killed with the sword then
    with the sword he will go.

    I am what what I am.  I am content with my lot.  I always loved you Elaine.

----James holds up the cross to her.

----Elaine transforms into her true self and whispers.

El: Let's go James.  Let's go home.  I have fond memories of those days.

----There is an explosion.

K:  No.  Flames are coming this way.

E:  Don't be silly.  There must be something we can do.  We'll be fine.
    Trust me.

----Edward picks her up and jumps.

----Next day outside the wall of the ruined Nementon.

R:  In these crazy times young people push themselves too much.

----Edward emerges from the tent.

----Inside the tent Koudelka stretches and smiles.

K:  Ah, the sun came out.  I prefer it a little hazier though.

----Edward smiles and gets on his horse.

K:  Good bye.  We'll probably never even see each other again.

E:  Hey, your nickname Zlato.  What does it mean?  I haven't even asked you
    yet.  Will you tell me?

K:  It...it means...treasure. (said almost demurely)

E:  Oh, that's rich.  I'll remember that.  Treasure.

----He rides away slowly.

R:  Is it OK child?  For you not to follow him?

K:  Yeah, it's OK.  I have a feeling that someday somewhere we'll meet again.


-----------------------------------------
D410#: "Dead people don't speak" (ending)
-----------------------------------------
Scene: As the three stand watching, Elaine begins to explode and disintegrate.
For a brief second she looks at James and her eyes change colour and she
becomes sane.  Then she falls into the fire below.  FMV

----The wind is whistling and it is a grey morning.

R:  I have seen the most interesting happening.  It would be a waste to go back
    to sleep just yet.

----Koudelka and Edward are lying on the ground resting.  They are not
    together.  James is staring out to sea.

E:  Hey Koudelka, I wonder what she was about to say?

K:  Dead people don't speak. It is just in your memories.

E:  Oh, is that how you explain what we just saw?

K:  Yes.

----Koudelka stands up.

J:  Memeories.  Somebody told me once that after a loved one's death all we
    have left is memories, and these will retain an eternal bond with the dead.

----The sun is rising and sends light across the sea to where James is sitting.

D.  Hiroki Kikuta: an appreciation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.squarehaven.com/news/?id=1206

This site has an excellent review of the work and career of Hiroki Kikuta.
The article referenced is from February 2007.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E. Useful Links
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sites about the game are few and far between and some may not be active. I've 
updated this (May 2009) as a number of fan sites no longer exist, or at least, 
not at the original links. 

z-o-g.org
This site *had* a vast array of pictures and videos from all the Shadow Hearts
games including Koudelka. Sadly, yet another site that has been discontinued. 

http://shnet.t35.com/index.php?page=koudelka/overview
This site had quite a good amount of information about the game including
bosses, magic, and items.  The link is now dead, but it might be around at 
another address? 

http://www.darkmaterials.com/adobe/fan/kou/index.htm
This site is dedicated to Koudelka and is very nicely done but as yet the
content is incomplete.  It was last updated in February 2006 so is inactive.

http://sh.megaten.net/
This site, also known as Icaro, has background information on all the games
including Koudelka.  Unfortunately the site is no longer updated and the last
activity was in 2005, but the information can still be viewed.

storminheaven.net
This is a site was dedicated to translations of the Japanese Koudelka manga.
Sadly, no longer available.

http://www.levity.com/alchemy/index.html
This is a huge site dedicated to alchemy texts and where further details of the
books James mentions can be found.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13111b.htm
Roger Bacon: a concise review of him and his works is in the Catholic
Encyclopedia.

Even the river mentioned by Koudelka has links to Celtic myth, although to my
knowledge there is no actual river by the name Taliesin, in Wales.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/history/sites/myths_legends/pages/taliesin.shtml

Branwen, cited by Patrick and Roger, is a key character from the Welsh tales of
the Mabinogion.  The story also tells of the Cauldron that could restore the
dead to life.  Branwen is also revered as a goddess.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabinogion

The Formors are one of the indigenous people's of Ireland according to Celtic
mythology.  This information is thanks to ImaginedReality.
