Ok but, when he said that we (the previous listener) did not love him back I broke down, like really, I just love Pharos so much and I was almost screaming at my phone that I did love him, that I still do! That the one he loved, maybe chose to stay on the castle not because they didn't love him but because the empire or what's left of it needed them. And every single day, they miss Pharos, and regret sacrificing both their happy endings for the people they swore to help. And yes, it makes me sad, but honestly, this new line, with Pharos getting better, recovered from his madness and finally finding someone else to love makes me warm and cozy inside, cause I just want our dear fallen Emperor to be happy.
It was (surprisingly) very pleasant to hear him reintroduce himself as Pharos. I'm only a few minutes in but I can already tell this is going to be fan-_tastic._
"As for the name Lockvire, I borrowed it from my father. He was a better man than I." *Me getting flashbacks to his father killing my family and taking my kingdom* Was he though? Was he? I do love him though
I thought I was supposed to fall asleep, not to cry so damn hard. My heart is broken. Pharos has grown up so much and he deserves his own happy ending. ;_; Hollow, just thank you for Pharos and for this story. You're amazing.
A few minutes ago I was reminiscing about Pharos and how much of his character affected me and so I wanted to re-watch a Pharos ASMR and what do you know? A new ASMR has uploaded by the magnificent Hollow. I am truly blessed.
Pharos: I didn't realize we were married. Me: No, your Majesty, and shall I remind you that you were Never properly married. The fact that I do remember his full name is both impressive and a little frightening. Also, Pharos, you and tact? Are you sure we are talking about the same person?
i absolutely love the story, i literally started crying when he explained his past and how he decided to change for the better, his road to healing is honest inspiring, i hope he find happiness cause at this point, he TRULY deserves it
Love this video so much, it really shows how much Pharos has changed (and he's got a *much* better sense of humour), even if I'm dying to know what exactly happened to the old listener. Up until now I've been convinced they accompanied him and died, which is why he was so panicked over this listener in the first video, but he still seems to believe they didn't really love him? But I don't think it was a stranger who must've died to leave Pharos so terrified of people dying because he lacks the proper medicine, otherwise he wouldn't have only realised he can "do good for the sake of good" with this listener. Quick thought - since this series is set at least five years after Pharos was overthrown and both the Strange Lands and Arcane Academy series are meant to be about contemporary with the original Arrogant Prince/Mad Emperor series, doesn't this mean Fendal and the AA!Listener were probably somewhat successful at stopping or delaying August? I'll fully admit I'm expecting that to be a pyrrhic victory at best, but the world hasn't ended yet so I'm cautiously optimistic.
“It was hard to believe the nomad that she’s been staying with was the feared mad emperor of the Sarcillian empire. But as she listened to his tale, she found it hard to deny the truth. She’s heard the stories. The horrors that this man has caused. About the imprisonment of all those innocent mages. The burning of ancient artifacts. How the pillars of smoke seemed to touch the sky. How could the man who saved her life be the same monster that took the lives of so many? When Pharos finished speaking, the traveler was at a loss for words. So many thought were going through her head. This man has lost so much. His grief and anger swallowed him up and made him into what he feared. Now he lives in exile with a bounty on his head. As he thanked her for not leaving, she paused in her musings. Why didn’t she leave? After reading the first few pages she should have just taken what she could and ran to the South. But she didn’t. She wanted to hear his side of the story first. Now she was given the option to stay. Did she want to? The traveler wasn’t exactly sure. While she struggled to determine her answer, Pharos told her he would give her time to think things through. She was grateful for that, and as she set the table she tried to sort through her thoughts. She knows Pharos deeply regrets what he has done. And when he looks at her, she feels the sincerity and kindness that he showed her that first night when they met. She knew what kind of man he was before, but now she sees the person he has become. And after hearing everything, she wanted to learn more about him. After she finished setting down the utensils, she walked up to him. Looking into his eyes she told him her answer.” Ok this was super long but also pretty fun. This is my first time doing this so I hope it wasn’t a terrible first attempt.
"For every kind hearted healer, for every good seminarian that chooses to use their gifts to help others, all it takes is one mad man, one fanatic and all of their good work is destroyed" *miles upon miles away, in a corner of the desert, a certain blood mage sneezes*
I had a bout of inspiration after listening to this - it's long and sucks because I dont remember everything from the story around Pharos but I'm proud of it, so I'll leave it here. I know some other people do it haha, might as well do it. I have to admit, this was something I hadn’t seen coming. The man to take me in during my quest to the promised land, to care to my fever when I could barely get to feet, to let me stay while the seasonal storms passed before continuing with my journey... the man I had decided to put my trust in was the source of my misfortune. The Mad Emperor himself, hidden away in the snowy peaks in self-prescribed isolation. A man I knew well, for better or for worse. It’s almost ironic. Emperor Pharos Lakhbir Ganus Kilmer XV in flesh and blood before my eyes. I can’t believe I hadn’t recognized him sooner. The world had deemed him The Mad Emperor for a reason. Gone mad by the death of his brother and father during an ambush of separationist mages from a kingdom absorbed during their conquest campaign. Driven crazy from the grief and sudden responsibility of his new responsibilities and title. The man who was kind enough to let me stay was responsible for the death of thousands, maybe even millions. Burning innocents at the stake with nothing but his vendetta against magic and revenge in his late father's name for reason. Attempting to rewrite history itself to justify his wild witch-hunt to the people of Sarcilia. It almost feels like a joke. I remembered when the Sarcilian Empire first came, the way they looked down on us as they ravaged our land and called it “protection”. I remembered when my mentor gifted me his life in hopes I’d escape the death and devastation he knew would come to fall. I knew full well what he had done firsthand. I remembered everything. I’ve had as many parts in this land's story as I’ve had lives. I live one life just to move onto the next. Going where the road takes me just to start over again when the story is over. It’s nothing new to me. I’ve spent lives blissfully unaware of my strange form of immortality, and there have been times I’ve known all along. It doesn’t make any difference in the end. This is what it's always been like. I’ve died more time than I care to count- but I’m never gone long. I move onto another life of a vaguely similar character and see where it takes me. Moving on when the sands of time deem it or I perish for the last time. I’ve had all the time in the world to find a word that fits my strange definition of existence but… the closest thing I can find is… well calling myself a god simply seems egotistical. I’m rambling. This is why I gave up journaling. It gets too complicated, trying to make things make sense when everything needs an explanation. It seems only when the web of characters, memory or not, I’ve played are tightly knotted together and I have the liberty of remembering all the parts I’ve played- I’m faced with the products of my decisions. That's when I find myself asking if I’m even worse than the man that took me in on those snow-covered mountains I was his fiance. A forced engagement with an arrogant and naive prince with no sense of his empire- Something I rightfully fought against tooth and nail. But you can only spend so much time with someone and not grow to know them. I knew this man... He was a man with a hard exterior and a kind heart with good intent. I’ve made it a rule not to judge myself too harshly. When you have countless different sets of memories and lives behind you- you can’t look at it like you would with a sense of good or bad. You’d go mad If you tried. But… when I’m standing face to face with a broken man I helped create I find it hard. I knew of the ambush. I remembered it during my time stuck in that stone prison. I had been a part of the separationist who had ambushed Pharos' family in a different incarnation after all. I lost a lover in the assassination. But I never warned them. It only felt right, after all, I wasn't supposed to know. Maybe my silence was to keep the timeline from becoming too complicated. Maybe it was a twisted form of revenge for the way his father treated my people. Truthfully I wouldn’t know how to put it in words even if I knew. I didn't have all the context then. I couldn't remember the pain suffering that would follow. Regardless, I feel like I was the reason he'd gone mad. I had a chance to stop the genocide that followed- the event that turned a good man to an evil tyrant. This is why I don’t enjoy reflecting. I go down a rabbit hole of questions and judgments of my past actions, when I’d rather live in the present. The only reason I’m writing this at all is because of that Pharos's journal. Although morbid... it inspired me. I can never speak a word about my past incarnations. It doesn't feel right. But… If it makes Pharos feel better writing his feelings down in a book, maybe so will I. He has given me the chance to leave. Even after I read his journals- something I shouldn’t have been touching, I have decided to stay. He is right. Pharos is not the man he used to be before he went mad and after. He still has a way to go, but he’s shown me nothing but kindness now. Even if I have some reserves, on the fact that I have experienced pain and grief because of him and his family's reign, I want to live in the present... I saw him as a friend before he left to barter for the herbs he brought back with the nomads. I will try to see him as a friend now. He can never know. He can never know of my life beyond this one. It would break him. I must burn these parchments tomorrow, just to be safe. Looks like stew is ready. I must go.
The reflection was so genuine. Thank you so much for the character and script hollow! The character development is completely believable and makes Pharos all the more loveable!
The things Pharos has been through throughout his story and the fact that he found some form of resolution for himself to carry on is huge. He went from someone who started off as someone arrogant and kinda rude to someone who’s broken but fixing himself. Listening to the audios you made with this character is like diving into a really epic book series. I hate the fact that I was late to this, but I’m glad I still got to listen to it. As always, you nailed it with the way you carried out Pharos and with hitting the feels. Well done to you!
Okay but like why do I feel sad for the other listener like they don't know where he is or if he's alive or dead and its just bittersweet how they are living their lives without eachother
Correct me if im wrong....but....the other listener....didnt he say "even tho they didnt love me back" which means...didnt the other listener refused his offer to come with him and went back to her tribe and village???
@@maryjoyverdun7282 when pharos left he said you can stay and become the emperor since the people chose them to lead them after they execute pharos. The listener chose to stay and clean up their mess we don't know if the listener loved pharos or not but I believe they loved him but chose to do what was morally right
The morose self mocking tone with which Pharos introduces himself, against the blind pride with which he used to introduce himself... self reflection and awareness are the ultimate blessing and curse all at once. Regret and Remorse are both hauntingly beautiful, and yet terribly painful companionship. This man has grown from a sheltered and spoiled adult sized child into a true adult, forged by sorrow and tempered with understanding. There is no compassion quite as deep as that of a person who knows true pain. The character design and development here is a gods damned MASTERPIECE. 😱😱😍
I've never known that an asmr series j thought was completely separate would like weave together...my mind is blown this story keeps getting better!! Keep up the good work
Why did I not realize this was Pharos? Like if it was in the description I never read it. I’m so happily surprised that the man I “married” and saw get manipulated has grown so much, I’m actually crying, this is so exciting I’m so happy and I hope he finds his wife again that would really make my heart whole again
I am definitely staying. I have fallen in love with this man all over again. Pharos was my first love on this channel and always pulls on my heartstrings the most. 😍😍😍
I personally love the prince still, and i am not one to hold grudges so I can imagine our last convo going something along the lines of: "I must stay for my people, I will not hold personal grudges against you but what goes on outside the castle walls is out of my hands when it comes to revenge or people that may try to hunt you (bounty hunters). I love you enough to give you a chance to change while living with the mistakes you made as your punishment for the rest of your life. I will fix the mess you made, right what you done wrong, and bring back the land to the way it was supposed to be. Good luck, farewell, stay safe." If I was in a world like this I would keep this quote in mind: "pain and hate only bring on more pain and hate like a cycle, it's our choice to try and break it."
I keep wondering what happened the other listener who was supposed to marry him. I got the impression that they're dead? Are they not who Pharos dug the grave in the snow for? Or did they just not escape with him? Am I overthinking or is there more to this story?
I think its purposefully ambiguous Some would choose to stay, and rebuild their country Others would join him (and most likely die) Either way, he is alone when this listener meets him (The grave may be for the previous listener, or the bounty hunter)
I just found this channel thru the whole Pharos series and I’m hurt I’m making my own ending where we went with him (cuz screw the kingdom I’m selfish like that) and found another village/town/city that was clueless about our past and what had happened and that’s where we resided, starting a new life ,making friends and living in a smol cottage with a dog, always looking at the sunset from our roof till the day we died together that’s my happy ending 🥲😌✨
I know so many other people have mentioned this, but seeing Pharos really try and think about his actions and what happened instead of him simply being kicked out......is nice
I am staying with you, you have changed and that is wise, you treated me with kindness and for that I will forever be in your favor. Also good job on the video really loving the character
i can just imagine some nerdy kid in the middle of of history class in the 2000s talking about how it wasn't the dudes fault that he wanted to burn the mages, it was the people who killed his father and brother, cause the man to go mad with power and grief and just everybody calling him a sadist for siding with a mad man. i speak from personal experience.........
I have a d&d npc who had a really nasty experience with ice picks. The amount of internal panic she'd experience at the idea of throwing ice picks at each other!😱
“One time bodyguard”, Crimson Mother curse you, I am going to LOSE IT. I know I’ve been gone a while but you didn’t have to destroy me with that man again. But as always Pharos is so beautifully written and acted, so sincere he makes my heart ache, I can’t be mad for long. My forever favorite 💕
Love Pharos but still confused, did the Listener die or did they stay behind? And if they stayed behind, will Pharos and the Traveler meet with them in a future audio? Because that would be an interesting interaction.
I believe because it was left up to choice, whether people chose to go with him or stay, there's no definite answer. For those who chose to go with him, I'm pretty sure they died. For those that chose to stay in the Kingdom, they might still be in power (?).
I am usually someone who is sceptical when people tell me that they have "change". But he is different. He isn't the evil tyrant anymore. Though I understand if the mages and their family don't want to forgive him, he is a changed man. What tyrant would've taken a sick girl in? And ask for basically nothing in return? Though my mind tells me to stay the winter with him just so he wouldn't feel alone, understands that his change is greatly appreciated and would be rewarded by other's company. i personally wouldn't want to stay with him forever as i am more of a free spirited person. I would tell him that i would visit for time to time, but not stay with him. I truly wish he have a good life ahead of him. Ps. More of him plis lmao
I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD 😭😭😭 I SHAT MY PANTS WHEN I HEARD IT WAS YOU!! Literally just open mouthed gaping at work with wide eyes XDD WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT
Hi Hollow! I'm a big fan and I kind of had an idea for a video script, I'm sure you get this all the time, but just thought I'd put it out there in case you were interested. I swear I'm not weirdo. 😣
him: You know who i am now me: I know who you were, yes. But you're also the man who saved my life. While this revelation changes things, it doesn't change what you've already done for me

ok but literally i love that this character has made a come back like he has had some much character development it’s insane
Dentist: Open up
Prince: Sometimes, I just get sad
Dentist putting down the Ahh tool: Go on?
No u almost made me laugh out loud while my family was asleep😂
“Welcome home my little free loader” I’m offended.
Same.
The fact that he says it in a sweet tone-
Me who just went on a random and impulsive cleaning spree: *BIOTCH WAT???*
Ok but, when he said that we (the previous listener) did not love him back I broke down, like really, I just love Pharos so much and I was almost screaming at my phone that I did love him, that I still do!

My exact same reaction honestly.
Honestly forgot this girl I want her to come back 🥲🥲🥲
It’s still crazy imagining that if this man didn’t go mad, Jackal may never have found his ‘mage’
everything happening for a reason... myghosh the connections are fricking insane

Hollow, just thank you for Pharos and for this story. You're amazing.
So is the listener being a literal free therapist for all of these characters gonna be a really a regular thing?
It would seem so
nah im gettin paid
He did the name thing and that's all that matters
I know, I have so much fun saying his name!!!!
His name was werid like he had KILL in his name know dat is scary but I luv him

Regret and Remorse are both hauntingly beautiful, and yet terribly painful companionship.
This man has grown from a sheltered and spoiled adult sized child into a true adult, forged by sorrow and tempered with understanding. There is no compassion quite as deep as that of a person who knows true pain.
The character design and development here is a gods damned MASTERPIECE. 😱😱😍
It's amazing how Pharo's voice can still make my heart beat faster
The title tells me I might need some popcorn for this 🍿

I've never known that an asmr series j thought was completely separate would like weave together...my mind is blown this story keeps getting better!! Keep up the good work
Also me: *goes back to his previous stories and strange land stranger people* I Had to get me another plate cause it was so good
When I say I sobbed when he burned books in the first series, I *sobbed*. Now, him showing remorse and regret? I’m sobbing again!
Wow. I'm surprised every time by this wayward prince; I love him more every time you write him.
Why did I not realize this was Pharos? Like if it was in the description I never read it. I’m so happily surprised that the man I “married” and saw get manipulated has grown so much, I’m actually crying, this is so exciting I’m so happy and I hope he finds his wife again that would really make my heart whole again
proud of this character development! as always, thanks for your amazing talents and world/character building!!
I am definitely staying. I have fallen in love with this man all over again. Pharos was my first love on this channel and always pulls on my heartstrings the most. 😍😍😍
YESSS THE BOI IS BACC
OH HELL NO WE AINT LEAVING
I personally love the prince still, and i am not one to hold grudges so I can imagine our last convo going something along the lines of:
"I must stay for my people, I will not hold personal grudges against you but what goes on outside the castle walls is out of my hands when it comes to revenge or people that may try to hunt you (bounty hunters). I love you enough to give you a chance to change while living with the mistakes you made as your punishment for the rest of your life. I will fix the mess you made, right what you done wrong, and bring back the land to the way it was supposed to be. Good luck, farewell, stay safe."
If I was in a world like this I would keep this quote in mind: "pain and hate only bring on more pain and hate like a cycle, it's our choice to try and break it."
Holy shit I remember this character, I was here when the first video of him came out, ✋if you were there as well
I've definitely not just dropped the conversation I had with my friends to listen to this :3
I am missing "Loyal assassin". When will he come back?
I keep wondering what happened the other listener who was supposed to marry him. I got the impression that they're dead? Are they not who Pharos dug the grave in the snow for? Or did they just not escape with him? Am I overthinking or is there more to this story?
I think lots of us are wondering the same thing
I think its purposefully ambiguous
Some would choose to stay, and rebuild their country
Others would join him (and most likely die)
Either way, he is alone when this listener meets him
(The grave may be for the previous listener, or the bounty hunter)
The voice! The voice! I absolutely love it 😖💗
"Free loader" O^O Excuse me? Sir I love you and all just not that name-
I want to hug him so bad :(
I just found this channel thru the whole Pharos series and I’m hurt I’m making my own ending where we went with him (cuz screw the kingdom I’m selfish like that) and found another village/town/city that was clueless about our past and what had happened and that’s where we resided, starting a new life ,making friends and living in a smol cottage with a dog, always looking at the sunset from our roof till the day we died together that’s my happy ending 🥲😌✨
I know so many other people have mentioned this, but seeing Pharos really try and think about his actions and what happened instead of him simply being kicked out......is nice
Yessssss. I have waited, and i love it ❤❤❤❤❤
I am staying with you, you have changed and that is wise, you treated me with kindness and for that I will forever be in your favor. Also good job on the video really loving the character
i can just imagine some nerdy kid in the middle of of history class in the 2000s talking about how it wasn't the dudes fault that he wanted to burn the mages, it was the people who killed his father and brother, cause the man to go mad with power and grief and just everybody calling him a sadist for siding with a mad man. i speak from personal experience.........
WE LOVE TO HEAR IT, this do be one of my favourite characters tho 🥴🥴
Terrific audio love it keep up the great work
ZOOMING
I love him so much
Fallen Prince is back
stop making relatable characters damn it man-
So excited I ditched the livestream I was watching to be here as soon as possible.
Omg so wonderful love this 🤗
Ultimate plot twist: this listener and ferros's wife are actually the same listener and we don't recognize each other after all these years
Hmm
If you make me regret falling for him, you will *regret it* Hollow
You don’t wanna make me cry, do you? Don’t make me cry. Make this one happy
Next thing you know it he gets shot
Hollow doesn’t drink caffeine like he wants us to believe. He thrives off of the tears of the viewers
yes!!!!! i knew it. you've grown so much... thank you...
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!
@Rin Hawks-Dabi 34 thank you!! I like yours as well
more more more....I love this prince...
*calls me a freeloader*
... This is getting too real too fast-
I have a d&d npc who had a really nasty experience with ice picks. The amount of internal panic she'd experience at the idea of throwing ice picks at each other!😱
“One time bodyguard”, Crimson Mother curse you, I am going to LOSE IT. I know I’ve been gone a while but you didn’t have to destroy me with that man again.
But as always Pharos is so beautifully written and acted, so sincere he makes my heart ache, I can’t be mad for long. My forever favorite 💕
Imma kindly ignore the fact that the last listener didn’t love him cause I did and imma say we died of a fever living with him the end 🥲☺️
that's my own head canon anyways.. that's the only thing that will let me sleep at night lol
My God I love your work!
I say we stay. He deems to have changed for the better
He has become so much more than before. Love the growth. Pull my weight... As if i hadn't already said i would help making dinner.
Amazing
"Freeloader"? 😂 somehow it seems cute!
I love your voice 💕😍 it's sounds lovely
Love Pharos but still confused, did the Listener die or did they stay behind? And if they stayed behind, will Pharos and the Traveler meet with them in a future audio? Because that would be an interesting interaction.
I believe because it was left up to choice, whether people chose to go with him or stay, there's no definite answer. For those who chose to go with him, I'm pretty sure they died. For those that chose to stay in the Kingdom, they might still be in power (?).
Was listener who he had to dig a grave in the snow for? 🤔
I used to just simpathize but not quite like Pharos but now...I think I enjoy him... enormously...
Growth!
I am usually someone who is sceptical when people tell me that they have "change". But he is different. He isn't the evil tyrant anymore. Though I understand if the mages and their family don't want to forgive him, he is a changed man.
What tyrant would've taken a sick girl in? And ask for basically nothing in return?
Though my mind tells me to stay the winter with him just so he wouldn't feel alone, understands that his change is greatly appreciated and would be rewarded by other's company. i personally wouldn't want to stay with him forever as i am more of a free spirited person. I would tell him that i would visit for time to time, but not stay with him. I truly wish he have a good life ahead of him.
Ps. More of him plis lmao
my prince!!!!
I’ve been waiting 😂
I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD 😭😭😭 I SHAT MY PANTS WHEN I HEARD IT WAS YOU!! Literally just open mouthed gaping at work with wide eyes XDD WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT
14:34 is that a reference to Clouse
Shooketh
Is there going to be a next part, because if so, IM EXCITED AS HELL- ✨👄✨
I’ve enjoyed so many vignettes here, but I’ve not really enjoyed one this much since the Hotel Sanguine.
Staying with Pharos guys!
Hi Hollow! I'm a big fan and I kind of had an idea for a video script, I'm sure you get this all the time, but just thought I'd put it out there in case you were interested. I swear I'm not weirdo. 😣
Hey lol i’m here and not leaving ✌️😁
WAIT WHO DID HE HAVE TO BURRY? HE SAID BEFORE HES BURRIED BODIES SO LIKE IS THE OTHER LISTENER ALIVE OR DEAD IM GONNA GO INSANE
I think "the old us" is dead
You’ve posted a lot of content lately, are you sleeping?
If I don't go and find the other me and bring me to him I'm gonna be upset
Can i stay..... will you learn to love me the way i love you my sweet prince
Can u please make another ivy and xeph audio!?😭🤲🏼❤
Waaaait this is the same character as the arrogant prince isnt it
him: You know who i am now
me: I know who you were, yes. But you're also the man who saved my life. While this revelation changes things, it doesn't change what you've already done for me
2 minute,‘I just got here????? I’m late . I’m sorry
*set the table*
I an't setting shit!!
Love him
Missed him
Wanna maybe kiss him
Okay, baby
That's not a maybe
What can I say?
I'm in love with this prince, hey, hey!
I imagine he has a depression beard, it's an odd detail but I think after losing the previous listener he would grow one.
*clap* :)
Early
ok but like............ can we get married.......
