FF5M:Immortal Flowers

Memo: Immortal Flowers
Obtained: Beginning of Eleventh Drop
Type: Terminology

ENJA

This term refers to the shrine maidens drowned in the Shadowspring as sacrifices. The maidens were shut in boxes filled with Black Water. The water brought them close to death and gradually eroded their bodies. But if their resolve was strong they would retain their physical form.

While in the caskets, being suspended between life and death, the shrine maidens would not age. Their beauty being immune to the effects of time inspired people to call them Immortal Flowers.

永久花（とこしえばな）

黒キ澤に沈められる巫女たち、つまり
のこと。

黒い匪、柩籠に入り沈められた巫女
たちは、夜泉に触れることで死に近づき
徐々に身体が夜泉に侵されて融けて
いくが、巫女が意識を保ち続ける間は
その形を留め続ける。


その間、巫女は歳をとらず、永遠に
生と死の狭間にいると言われている。

永久花とは、暗い水の中で永久に
咲き続ける花のように美しい姿を保つ
ことを願いつけられた名である。
