Perhaps you don't know, but an egg needs nesting.  A mother sitting on her child is just the same as 9 months growing fat.  That's what is going on in this game, right now, as you listen to words deaf.  The egg is nesting.  The egg, in this scenario, being Skaia and the Universe yet to be.  

A mother is right to protect her child in this scenario.  But what if, in the infinite cosmos of possibility, whose cacophony one can only aspire to emit, there were two opposing forces, both in diametric positions on the same position, that the egg should be aborted?  The mother is right to think that she has a choice in the matter, and that her egg shouldn't be casted out simply because two groups of people want to control her body.

So, what does she do?  Nothing, and just let it play out?  No, because the very presence of choice demands the option to do something be examined.  So, then, what does she do?  Well, through her infinite wisdom, the origin of life, whose progeny perpetuated production of population plural, devised a mechanism that would abuse the two groups quarrels against themselves.  A war.  A never-ending struggle, a strife even, that claims lives as it does with meaning.  Without it, both sides would find that they are exactly the same, and then they would consolidate power to their one cause, the abortion of this egg.

So then, that solves it all.  But it doesn't.  Eventually, wars end.  There has never been a war with no end.  Now, you could claim that every war is just one simple, carnal strife, but then you could that society is just one carnal strife and that nothing matters, and nobody should care about anything so why even bother living.  So, eventually the war will end.  Almost always, one side wins more often than the other, but in the infinity of progeny anything is possible.  When the war does eventually come to an end, the ones left will still be on a warpath, and there's only one step remaining, the abortion.  

Fortunately, by this time, the egg can protect itself a little bit from the abortion, but not enough to last before the birth.  So, then, how do you solve this?  Prolong the war indefinitely?  But we already discussed, the war must come to an end eventually, even if it takes a million billion trillion quadrillion pentillion years.  Eventually, one side will have lost more than the other, and then the war is over, and then the abortion occurs.  No, the solution to this problem is having the paternal information only after the abortion is finished and ready.  Thereby, there is some remaining genetic information that the sperm can meld with and actually birth.

Ok then, how do ensure that the abortion doesn't happen again, because at this point, the baby is born, what's stopping the two groups turned one from repeating the abortion now considered infanticide.  Well, the war covers that as well.  The people who grew up during the long long long war have grown tired of fighting and just want it end.  The only pushers of the war are the kings and the queens of this group.  So, the mother of the egg makes it so that the kings and queens cannot even finish the job.  None of them can actually pull off the abortion.  Both in that they are designed to lead, but not to carry out, but also that the mother designed a mechanic that the groups' constituents would kill off the regents, and that somebody else would do the aborting.

Nobody in either party is supposed to know any of this, just that there is a war, and that one side must win over the other.  But this iteration of the birthing process is different.  None of the regents fill their roles very well.  The kings are incompetent at battling.  The Black queen is deeply troubled by thoughts of depression and suicide.  And for this specific scenario, the White queen is troubled by the knowledge of what the war means.  I am quite literally saying that she has knowledge of the abortion, the two sides being the same, all of it.

So, she came to the leader of criminals, MOBBOSS KINGPIN, and asked him to select three individuals from her constituents to harbor enough hate and power to kill the regents and prevent the second reckoning.  Of course, each person would have a regent to kill.  He chose you three.  The PENAL INQUIRER to kill the White King.  The ARBITRARY DICTATOR to kill the Black King.  and The PROBLEM SOLVER to kill the Black Queen.  As part of the deal, the MOBBOSS KINGPIN would be given the pleasure of killing the White Queen.  That's the reason he even chose this offer.

He tells you that you are not the first group of three that he has selected to do the job that has made it to his office.  He tells you that you aren't even the fastest to complete the journey.  He instead tells you that you took longer than everyone else, and that you hardly even used the FENESTRATED WINDOW which could've simplified a lot of things.  Instead, he says you had the most ingenuity out of all the people he saw go through the gauntlet.  You came up with solutions to problems that weren't even a part of the game.  He brings up the ingenuity because the journeys to kill the regents are tough and full of unique problems to be solved.
