Ha. Your bow control is sloppy, "captain."@
# Hyloch Captain
Don't you dare speak, scum.@
# Rex
Great, backup's finally here!@
# Rex
<playername>, let's take him out together!@
# Rex
Thanks for the support, <playername>! Not sure how much longer I could've held out on my own.@
# Rex
We were about to regroup with the Canopy, but Cileon spotted soldiers approaching through the hotel windows.@
# Rex
They've stormed the plaza, and probably the rest of the city by now... I think they've rounded up all the citizens at the festival grounds.@
# Rex
We all got split up in the commotion - the others are probably fighting their own battles! Come on, we need to get moving!!@
# Rex
This way!!@
# Zeph
<playername>! Rex!! Per- perfect timing!@
# Zeph
Phew... th...that was close. <playername>, it's g- good to see you.@
# Rex
Where are the others? Have you seen them?@
# Zeph
I saw Cileon u- up ahead! But I l- lo- lost sight of Sui a while ago...@
# Rex
Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get moving!@
# Zeph
O- o- okay!!@
# Zeph
...<playername>, if y...you're here, then... the Queen...?@

Worry about our friends first, Queen second! Come one, move move move!@

Hmm. Alive. Good.@

Dead. Good.@

ZEPH! There's no TIME!! Cileon, have you seen Sui?!@

Mmn. Sui...@

This way. Festival.@
# Cileon
Let's go!@
# Rex
SUI!!!@
# Sui
Oh! You're all safe!@
# Sui
And <playername>, you're here too...@
# Zeph
Sui, that was i- in- incredible!! But, using that much m...magic... be careful not to use up all of your st- strength...@
# Sui
...it's fine, Zeph. It doesn't drain me to use, anymore. I can just... pull on the strands.@
# Cileon
Hmph. Ahead.@
# Zeph
R- ri- right... the festival speech. Should we try to l...listen in on it?@
# Rex
What?! No! We're all safe, so let's get out of here and regroup with the rest of the Canopy! Doing anything else is way too risky-@
# Sui
No. I'm... I'm done running away. We're going in.@
# Rex
...are you insane?!@
# Sui
She's responsible for everything that has happened to us. I'm not going to just... let her get away when she's RIGHT THERE!!!@
# Sui
She's going to pay for all of it.@

S- Sui... you don't h- have to do it alone.@

# Her Majesty
People of the Highlands! I deeply apologize for the disruption to your routines. You must be confused, afraid.@
# Her Majesty
This festival is a time for joy, for celebration! But there are those within your midst who reject this notion. They aim to bring destruction, chaos!@
# Her Majesty
Indeed... a plot to twist our province's ideals, to destroy our very way of life! The perpetrators lurking in your city, feigning innocence... what a disgrace.@
# Her Majesty
It was your very own Sovereign, Majin Thalas, whose quick thinking brought down the terrorists' plot! The Wings, the Constables, the Local Guard, all have mobilized to capture the perpetrators.@
# Her Majesty
Soon, we shall have them chained before you. Soon, you shall see the faces of this blight, this infection in the veins of our province.@
# Her Majesty
And soon, we shall cut. It. Out.@
# Her Majesty
...@
# Her Majesty
YOU.@
# Her Majesty
And so it would seem my Sovereigns have once again failed to perform what should be a very simple task.@
# Her Majesty
Sovereign Thalas, what, precisely, is it you have been teaching these soldiers of yours?! Because there should be no reason for them to have FAILED to capture these CHILDREN!@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
I told you we should've taken the direct solution! More dead soldiers, more of our people subtracted out, for nothing!@
# Sovereign Majin
Hm! Now, let us be clear, the soldiers are-@
# Her Majesty
Oh, I do not care. Save your excuses.@
# Her Majesty
I have given you more than enough chances to realise the weight of what it is we do!@
# Her Majesty
You...you have proven very hard to pin down, it would seem. No matter the circumstances, you have a knack for slipping through the cracks...@
# Her Majesty
It would be oh so simple to blame you for all you have enacted... but the truth is, you were merely the catalyst. The seeds of this rebellion were planted long, long before you.@
# Her Majesty
Oh, the Auburn Forest... over these centuries, its beauty has never faded. The vibrant colors, the warm breeze of the changing seasons...@
# Her Majesty
What a shame, then, that beneath the cover of the leaves, there lurk countless cowering pests. And no matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to wash them out.@
# NOTE
Sovereign Zhiraok: ...?@
# Her Majesty
Fell the perceived source of their strength, cut the branches and burn the leaves, the fruit that emboldens their acts - and still, they persist!@
# Her Majesty
Bury their monuments, erase their gods - and still, and STILL, they cling to ideals of love, of family! And still, and still, and still, they persist.@
# Her Majesty
Washing it all away had shown results... for a time. But even growing forth from a blank slate, even with no ties to what came before - still, still, STILL THEY PERSIST!!!@
# Her Majesty
There is a rot in the heart of that forest. I see that now. Perhaps, I had allowed my fondness for the region to blind me... but no more.@
# Her Majesty
And so, as once we saw out the New Age, so again shall we wash away these pests. That accursed forest will drown, and the rot buried deep will be excised once more.@
# NOTE
Sovereign Zhiraok: ...what?@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
YOUR MAJESTY!!@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
W-With respect, that is not a viable angle! The Resistance is such a small percentage of the overall population, they're practically a rounding error!@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
You can't divide out a quarter of our province's people, a-and just as much infrastructure, just to solve for a subset of rogue integers!!@
# Sovereign Majin
Learn when to keep your mouth shut, would you, Nasin?! We are standing before the public! This is not the time to raise such grievances-@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
That didn't stop you interrupting my sequence and openly denigrating the recruits at the tournament to fulfill your petty factoring grudge!! You have no excuses!@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
We- We have been wasting our numbers at every point. When did our vector shift to something so shortsighted? When did we lose sight of our nontrivial solution?!@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
You're both plugged into a destructive sequence! I can't enable these irrationalities!! I refuse to be a variable in this cyclical, downwards spiral!!@
# Her Majesty
Take care with what you do next, Zhiraok Nasin. If you turn away now, you will forsake your position and forfeit your life.@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
I- You-@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
If this is what honor is supposed to feel like, I don't want it anymore.@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
My loyalty is to the people. If yours isn't, then our vectors no longer converge. I'm subtracting my pact to you myself.@
# Sovereign Zhiraok
Gotta evacuate, contact Xao, the commanders, get everyone to higher ground, find where the helix S-@
# Sovereign Majin
Hmph! You Majesty, if you would allow it, I would gladly put his head on a stick for you.@
# Her Majesty
Firstly, Sovereign Thalas, I would have you clean up your mess. Execute the terrorists.@
# Her Majesty
...and once you are done, you have my approval to hunt down ex-Sovereign Zhiraok Nasin.@
# Her Majesty
While you are at it, eliminate that entire House. They have disappointed me far too many times, and I have granted them far too many chances.@
# Sovereign Majin
Aha! Gladly. As you wish, Your Majesty. It will be done.@
# Her Majesty
Sovereign Tasim. You will be coming with me to the dam.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...of course, Your Majesty.@
# Sovereign Majin
Ahhh... Finally! I'd been awaiting the day I'd get the chance to wipe you rats off the face of the planet.@
# Sovereign Majin
But before we begin, I'm an honourable man, so I'll grant you this opportunity! Any last words for the crowd?@
# Sovereign Majin
Ahahahaha! Did you, now? That the great Sovereign Majin would fall to a simple group of insurgents... What a laughably fanciful tale!@
# NOTE
The dialogue branches combine here.@
# Sovereign Majin
My goodness, what a statement! You truly believe so? That you of all people stand a chance against my might?@
# Sovereign Majin
Oh, how dreadfully dull. If you are going to be so dramatic, use a better line, would you?@
# Sovereign Majin
Ha! As if. Half those tabloids are filled with naught but meaningless gossip! Though, I do have an appreciation for the Majin Monthly. It's quite the interesting read, you know!@
# Sovereign Majin
Hm... But I'm afraid only one of you is worthy of facing me in combat. As for the rest of you pitiful worms...@
# Sovereign Majin
Wings, to arms! Initiate formation!@
# Sovereign Majin
Ah ah ah! Keep your eyes on what's important, mmn?@
# Sovereign Majin
You should feel honoured! Very few are given the privilege of dying to my blade. I'd tell you to write about it in your memoirs, but...@
# Sovereign Majin
Well, I don't imagine you'll have the chance. NOW -@
# Sovereign Majin
Welcome to my domain of the starry night, dear guest! Quite the stunning view, is it not?@
# Sovereign Majin
By all means - take your time, take it all in, every little detail! Allow that feeling to sink in - your sheer insignificance in the face of the vastness of the cosmos!@
# Sovereign Majin
Ah... Her Majesty and the Spymaster, they held interest in you once. Looking upon you now, I simply cannot fathom why.@
# Sovereign Majin
But I suppose it matters not! You have certainly cut that strand of interest with all your assorted antics, haven't you?@
# Sovereign Majin
Well! If you must die, be glad it was to my blade! LET THE SHOW BEGIN!!@
# Sovereign Majin
My my, now we're getting somewhere! Let's kick it up a notch - stay in the lime light, or DIE!@
# Sovereign Majin
Ha... haha... hahahaHAHAHA!!!! What a show, what a SHOW - you're FAR more dangerous than you let on!! But it'll take more than that to kill ME!!!@
# Sovereign Majin
There is always more power to take, if one only knows where to look! BEHOLD!! THE LIMITLESS WEIGHT OF THE COSMOS!!!!!@
# NOTE
Sovereign Majin:@
# Sovereign Majin
Hahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! You?! YOU truly believe you can kill ME?!?! No... no no no no NO, YOU WILL NOT!!!!!@
# Sovereign Majin
I will draw more... and more, and more and more AND MORE POWER!!! I WILL TAKE ALL IT CAN OFFER ME, AND MORE!!!!!@
# Sovereign Majin
The COSMOS bends to my will!! The STARS, the INDESCRIBABLY COUNTLESS STARS!!! THE STARS AND THE INKY VOID BETWEEN, THEY WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN!!!!@
# Sovereign Majin
Ha... hahahahahahaha... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!@

Ha. Ha! Hahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahahahaha!@
# Rurie
Good! Great, even! Got what he deserved, in the end!@

Hm? No, it's perfectly normal. If you had the vendetta I had, then, well! You would react likewise, I'm certain.@
# Rurie
Dead! Dead! He's dead, and I'm not, and I win! Hahahahaha!@
# Cileon
Rurie. Problems.@
# Rurie
Problems! Right! Right right right right right!! That's why I'm here, after all- haha, apologies, got distracted a moment...@
# Rurie
It seems the crown's finally recovered from the shock, and attacks on the safe zone have increased in strength and frequency!@
# Rurie
She sent me to... well, to check and see if you're alive, firstly - but also to bring whoever I can back to support the defense effort!@
# Rex
We have issues here too, Rurie. The Queen has just publicly announced she's going to FLOOD the Auburn Forest!!@
# Rurie
Oh! Oh, dear! That isn't good at all! We've truly driven her far enough to warrant such an act?@
# Zeph
Rurie, I'll g- go with you. I... I need to m...make sure Yuman's safe.@

Will go too.@

Hey, Zeph, it's alright. Make sure there's a resistance still standing for us to rejoin when it's all over, alright?@
# Sui
...stay safe, Zeph.@
# Zeph
Y- you guys too! Let's reunite wh...when this is all over, alright?@
# Rurie
Then it's settled! Good luck, you three! Go show the Queen what you've got!@
# Sovereign Tasim
...is this really necessary?@
# Her Majesty
Necessary? Very little ever is. But it will prove a point.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Really. Thousands of lives... to prove a point.@
# Her Majesty
You understand the stakes of the greater task, yes? If that end is not averted, they die regardless. Them, and everyone else.@
# Her Majesty
And without order here, we will lack the focus to see it through. So, see it as a necessary evil. Nothing more, nothing less.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...and what about Two?@
# Her Majesty
She will come around. She always does, in the end.@
# Sovereign Tasim
I don't like this. There are better opt-@
# Her Majesty
You do not have to like it, Sovereign. But if you wish to make change for the world, you will have to see it through.@
# Her Majesty
Now. Let us begin.@
# Rex
STOP!!!@
# Rex
We won't let you go through with this!@
# Her Majesty
Good grief, are my Sovereigns truly good for NOTHING?! Zhiraok, Soosu, Gikyo, Majin - each and every one a FAILURE!@
# Her Majesty
Oh, what does it matter?! All of this - everything you have done, everything you have caused, all will be swept away and FORGOTTEN once I am finished with you!@
# Her Majesty
Sovereign Tasim. Kill them.@
# Rex
Why are you doing this?! Why are you LETTING her kill all those people?!@
# Sovereign Tasim
I don't have a choice.@
# Rex
What?! You ALWAYS have a choice, du-@
# Sui
Stop trying to talk to him. We have to-...!@
# Rex
The Queen...!@
# Rex
We have to stop her before she tears this whole thing down!!@
# Sovereign Tasim
I can't let you do that.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...it's too late to turn back now. After everything...@
# Sovereign Tasim
She holds the means to save the world. So, no matter what she does...@
# Sovereign Tasim
...she's the only option. And if you stand against her, then you stand against the world.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...sigh. Far, far too much. I have no ground to stand on.@
# Sovereign Tasim
But I've come this far. She holds the answers, the means...@
# Sovereign Tasim
So it doesn't matter. If you stand against Her Majesty, then you stand against me.@
# Rex
Oh, yeah?! Then I guess we'll just have to get through you and her!@
# Sovereign Tasim
...don't throw your life away for this. I don't want to have to kill you.@
# Rex
And let you kill thousands?! Yeah, right.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Sigh. Don't say I didn't warn you. You've made your stand - now let me make mine!@
# Rex
Ugh... we're getting nowhere! We NEED to find a way to stop the Queen!@
# Sovereign Tasim
...really? The same trick again?@
# Rex
Ha! Didn't expect that one, did you?!@
# Rex
Come on! Think, Rex... think!!!@
# Rex
COME ON!!!!@
# Rex
<playername>! Her spell's down, but- she'll get it back up if we don't keep her busy!@
# Rex
I'll handle Tasim! Go!! You're the only one of us who stands a chance against her!!@
# Rex
Good! NOW GO!!!@
# Her Majesty
Oh, how infuriating!@
# Her Majesty
So it would seem I cannot rely on my Sovereigns for anything!@
# Her Majesty
Perhaps I have not paid you quite enough attention. With each and every additional slight, you cement yourself as more and more of a threat.@
# Her Majesty
Very well. Then I will do what I should have from the start, and deal with you MYSELF.@
# Her Majesty
DIE.@
# Her Majesty
Urgh... I see... ahahahaha, I see now...! I had underestimated you, after all!@
# Her Majesty
But I am not done just yet.@
# Her Majesty
You... you... you have ruined everything. This shell is on the verge of collapsing under the strain... and this- this!- is not so easily repaired. And now... and now. Only one path remains.@
# Her Majesty
That damned girl... if she had only done as she had been tasked... repair might - might - have been an option. As once before, the strands wrapped tightly against this burning, broken spark!!@
# Her Majesty
But, no. No. Once again, the Weave is beyond my reach... And that was your doing as well, wasn't it?!@
# Her Majesty
Ha... haha... ahahahahaha! Centuries of carefully constructing this visage, this freedom, of building a perfect kingdom, a perfect world, all gone to waste!!! Because. Of. YOU.@
# Her Majesty
Are you pleased? Oh, you must be. You believe this petty act of rebellion will solve every single one of your perceived problems?@
# Her Majesty
No. No, it will do no such thing. It has only made it worse.@
# Her Majesty
But you will not live to see it, will you? No... no, you will not. The shell will crack and strain and break, and you alongside it!@
# Her Majesty
One final satisfaction! Before all comes crashing down. I will enjoy it, the sounds of bones cracking, of flesh burning, of...-!@
# Rex
<playername>!!!@
# Rex
Come on Rex! FOCUS!!!@

This grapple arrow had better work...@

# Her Majesty
HOW. DARE. YOU!? Insolent CHILD, you are nothing, NOTHING compared to- urgh...@

Oh, what does it matter?! Death will claim you all the same, once worlds SHATTER and hellfire rains down from above...@
# Her Majesty
This... this will be difficult to bury. But not impossible. Never impossible. Given... enough... time...@
# Her Majesty
...ha. Let it all fall, then.@
# Sovereign Tasim
And all of it just... breaks, in the end, anyway... doesn't it.@

It doesn't matter. We're here now. You have to do it.@

I made my choices. I knew where they were leading me, and... and I didn't turn away. Now, we've reached the end. You have to kill me.@

What even is there left for me? Where would I go? Is there anyone, any place left? I don't have anything.@

Just... let me be with him. Give me that one thing. That's all.@

You're right. Of course you are. Dying would be the easy way out of the mess I've made, wouldn't it?@

Z?! HEY-@

What's going on?!@
# Sovereign Soosu
UGH! The idiot's burned himself out, running here and there and- EVERYWHERE! I TOLD him to take a break, but nooo, he just had to do everything himself-@

Soosu.@

He's...@

How do we fix this?@

...m'not sure we can.@

No. No, I refuse to accept that.@

# Sovereign Soosu
It won't work, Tasim. The charm's used up its charge already.@
# Sovereign Tasim

# Sovereign Tasim
Use it. Everything I have- my own magic - my curse, what I still have of her blessing, all of it... I just... need to...@
# Sovereign Tasim
...urgh. No, no, that can't be all I have- have I really used so much...?@
# Sovereign Soosu
Let me.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Huh?@

I SAID, I'll do it!!! If you think it'll work, then- then I'll help!!@

So. S-so I can help... um, however I'm able to. Just- just this once.@

Yeah, I think so. His breathing looks more... normal.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...good. Then... then it's done. It's all...@
# NOTE
Point at the big rift.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...oh.@
# Sovereign Soosu
Hm hm hm. Yeah, that's something. Any plans for dealing with that?@
# Sui
The Queen's still there, isn't she? We'll go in and kill her.@
# Sovereign Soosu
Hmph! Might work to stop new ones from opening up, sure. But wow, you wanna kill her? Good luck with that.@
# Sovereign Soosu
...s'your funeral! I've got a dam to fix... how long since I made the improvements...? Fifty years? Sixty? Eh, whatever, I'll just wing it.@
# Sovereign Soosu
Hm. Hm hm. If you're going up into that whole thing... you probably won't make it out. But if you do! We'll talk then.@
# Sui
Yeah...@
# Sui
...I, um, should... stay with Rex. Un-until the S-Sovereign is... up. <playername>, go ahead to the safe zone. Make sure everyone's... everyone's okay, over there.@
# Sui
I'll... meet you later.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Sigh. And it all... just... breaks...@
# Sovereign Tasim
...okay. I... I will. I'll see what I can do, if... if I can get any of the soldiers to stand down...@
# Sovereign Tasim
I'll meet you by the palace. We'll fix this together.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Sigh. And it all... just... breaks... of course.@
# Sovereign Tasim
What will I... what can I do? It's all so... overwhelming.@
# Sovereign Tasim
But... I have to try, don't I? I can't just... escape from the consequences.@
# Sovereign Tasim
I'll... meet you by the palace. I need to think first. Before we... go in.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...what. What do you want? Everything's broken. And it's my fault, right?@
# Sovereign Tasim
Right. Sure. If that's what you want from me.@
# Sovereign Tasim
I'll be there when you go in after her.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Is that it... then? I guess we're... done.@
# Sovereign Tasim
The rift in the sky... it's all broken, havoc left in her wake, and... and it's my fault.@
# Sovereign Tasim
But you won't kill me. So I guess I have to keep going... don't I?@
# Sovereign Tasim
Good luck, <playername>. You'll need it.@
# Rurie
...and now all chaos has broken loose in the citadel, so some numbers truly would go a long way towards-@
# Fuhue
Yes, Rurie, I know. Hold for just one minute, would you?!@
# Rurie
Fine, fine. Yes, please, take your time! It's not as though the world is ending or anything!!!@
# Cileon
Ahem. <playername>.@
# Rurie
Hm? <playername>!! You're alive, that's a relief - if you wouldn't mind answering, what the - and excuse the language - HELL is going on?!@
# Rurie
The SKY ITSELF has cracked open, there's RED LIGHTNING up there - and I have seen storms before, that is not normal - everything is a MESS! Explain.@
# Rurie
And just when I thought we had reached the limit on fanciful tales... goodness. And you singlehandedly defeated her in combat?!@
# Cileon
Mmn. Majin.@
# Rurie
Yes, Cileon, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised after that display... and yet.@
# Rurie
But back to the topic at hand - she is responsible for all of this?! This is... beyond my means to process.@
# Rurie
A corrupt and oppressive governmental structure - that, I can plan around. For that, I at least have some inkling as to how to fight against it.@
# Rurie
But this? For this, I have nothing. What is one even supposed to do about-@
# Fuhue
Ah! There we are! Twelve injured allies, five casualties, one bout of madness... talisman stockpiles mostly burned through - only two remaining, we'll have to produce more...@
# Fuhue
Food rations will hold for another three and a half days, so we'll need to send a supply run tomorrow... at least armor and weapon supplies are still in surp-@
# Fuhue
Oh. <playername>, you're here. Good to see you're still standing. What are we talking about?@
# Cileon
Queen. Rift.@
# Fuhue
Ah! So you defeated her, and she fled into the rifts. Very good work, deerling.@
# Rurie
...by most metrics, we've achieved our goal. Her Majesty has been dethroned, her Sovereigns either killed or turned - we have something to work with.@
# Rurie
But this rift... there's very little we can do while it's there. The people are panicked, the soldiers scattered, defensive, lost - and that isn't to mention whatever adverse effects it may or may not have!!@
# Fuhue
Perhaps if it can be cut off at its source...@
# Rurie
What, you mean passing through it into whatever it is on the other side? All in the hopes of chasing down the Queen? Who would be insane enough to even consider-@
# Rurie
Right! Of course, how could I forget! We have you. Well, I suppose that's all sorted then - not a problem I need concern myself with. What a relief.@
# Fuhue
Hm. Leaves us more time to finalize the stabilizing plan for the province, to deal with the chaos that comes after this chaos concludes. Joy.@
# Rurie
Yes, yes... we can get to that. <playername>, before you set off on yet another dangerous mission, you'd best go speak to everyone here. Alleviate some concerns, yes?@
# Yulie
...and you're alright? No injuries- nothing?@
# Yuman
Ughhhhh... yeah, bro, I'm fine! Quit hovering!@
# Yulie
Well, sorry for being worried under these circumstances! The SKY is broken, Yuman, so let me hover at least a little, okay?!@
# Zeph
Well, a...at least the soldiers have b- ba- backed off a little... so, that's s- something.@
# Yulie
Sigh... yeah, that is something. I'm almost out of electrical charges...@
# Zeph
...<playername>! Y- you're back!!@
# Yuman
Ey, you made it!!!@
# Zeph
S...so does that mean you... y- you stopped her?@
# Yuman
Is she dead?!@
# Yuman
Hell yeah!!@
# Yulie
...I hear a "but" added on to the end. Where are Rex and Sui?@
# NOTE
Tell them.@
# Zeph
B...but she's... sh- she's okay, now...?@
# Yuman
...man. Man. That... that really sucks, huh?@
# Zeph
Her... h- her bow... she's n- ne- never gonna be able to... use it ag- again...@
# Yuman
I didn't even consider that... man. So, then... Sui's with her still?@
# Yulie
She's... in good hands, at least. Multiple Sovereigns, turning to our side... it's a little hard to believe.@
# Yulie
But this is good. If they've turned against the Queen... it'll make things easier for us once this is all over.@
# Yuman
Guess so... WAIT! So Zhiraok broke Soosu out of prison?! Was that-@
# Zeph
-wh- what we saw? It was a- a flash of s- so- something, going into and out of the p...palace! Just before the sk...sky broke.@
# Yuman
It must've been! That explains some things! Hey, no wonder the soldiers were so confused!!@
# Zeph
Ha... y- yeah...@
# Zeph
...<playername>. The Queen isn't d...dead, is she?@
# Zeph
Then... y...you're going after her. Right?@
# Yuman
Zeph... you're not thinking of going in there too, are you?@
# Yuman
You are.@
# Zeph
I- I have to... Rex won't be in any sh- shape to fight, a- and- and it's my turn to do my p...part anyway!@
# Yuman
... Fine. But you have to come back, princess! We've got plans, remember? I still have to show you where I grew up, and-@
# Zeph
-and sh...show me your favourite food stand from when you were gr...growing up, I- I know. I'll be b- back.@
# Yulie
Okay, lovebirds, that's my signal to get out of here. There's schedules I have to organize...@
# Yulie
...but yeah. Zeph, <playername>, I expect to see you two again. Understood?@
# Yulie
Good. Just making sure.@
# Azael
<playername>, I'm glad to see you're back.@
# Quill
I heard from Zeph that you and the girls decided to challenge Her Majesty.@
# Quill
How... how did it go? I can't help notice the lack of companions by your side.@
# Azael
Sui has grown into quite the powerful cursed one, huh?@
# Quill
Did I hear that right... Soosu?@
# Azael
That... is an unexpected turn of events. However, you may accept their change of heart but for the rest of us...@
# Azael
They are an extension of her Majesty. All the pain and suffering they have caused is because of them.@
# Quill
Actually...@
# Quill
We have been thinking about how to handle the aftermath; in case we were successful. The larger populous knows of us as only terrorists. They would never accept us to rebuild Fruma.@
# Quill
But. With the Sovereigns on our side, the people might, they just might, hear them out.@
# Azael
Ugh. You're right. This is the best option we got.@
# Quill
We will need to arrange a meeting with them to discuss moving forwards. I expect it to be tense, even hostile. But, but we can do this.@
# Azael
I'll get Fuhue to draft up our plan, then.@
# Rurie
W-what's up?@
# Rurie
Went without a scratch, of course.@
# Rurie
Well, we did have a lot of issues... I wasn't worried but I'm glad Zeph and Cileon returned with us.@
# Rurie
Fuhue's talismans were doing a lot of the heavy listing in their absence.@
# NOTE
The dialogue options return here.@
# Rurie
The Canopy will be helping with the aftermath. I don't care for becoming a public figure after this is over. though.@
# Rurie
The trees are calling my name and the Highlands is definitely not the place for me.@
# Rurie
Besides, could you ever see such a hunk like me become a politician... Pshh, at least I can't.@
# NOTE
See you soon.@
# Rurie
Good luck out there.@
# Cileon
Foxes and I cleared them out.@
# Cileon
I want to return to the forest.@
# Cileon
Need to hunt, run and stay away from... cities.@
# Cileon
Best of luck.@
# Fuhue
My talismans did the trick. Managed to keep up a temporary barrier for some time.@
# Fuhue
Unfortunately, they only last for some time and my schedule has not allowed me to create more. It was a miscalculation on my side.@
# Fuhue
I have completely, utterly failed as the Deer's captain. I totally underestimated how many barrier talismans we needed!@
# Fuhue
The Canopy will remain. Master has asked me to document everything that has transpired in the past coupl of weeks. It will take me at least one week and three days to compile it all.@
# Fuhue
Besides, without the Queen a new government will have to be established. I am planning to be of assistance, there as well.@
# Fuhue
Okay.@
# Zeph
When we got- got back we had almost been c-completely overtaken.@
# Zeph
I'd like t-to -to believe I helped but... to be honest Rurie did most of the w-work.@
# Zeph
I felt guilty that I- I left you guys.@
# Zeph
But I will n-not back down for this final showdown!@
# Zeph
For o-once I'm... hopeful?@
# Zeph
It's, it's weird. After everything we've g-gone through, after everyone we- we- we lost. I have hope for the future.@
# Zeph
I promised myself when... when I was captured that if I- I made it out, I would not let my life fly by. I will l-live for Syndra and Mora. I will k-keep Syndra's legacy going.@
# Zeph
And I made a p-promise to Yuman. I w-want to explore the world with- with him.@
# Zeph
I don't think I- I will n-never be ready but, I want to do all that I c-can.@
# Zeph
I won't be a hinderance to you. I k-know you and Sui are strong but... I'm not h-helpless.@
# Zeph
I'll follow you whenever you're r-ready, friend.@
# Yuman
Things were looking veeery hairy for a bit. Luckily, Rurie brought back up just in time.@
# Yuman
Those Canopy people can be quite scary, I must say.@
# Yuman
I know that chaos is sure to ensue with Her Majesty gone but, I don't think I'm the best at... cleaning up a province.@
# Yuman
I would honestly love to see the world. Traveling the world with someone you like sounds... nice.@
# Yuman
I also miss the Steel Feather. I don't know what will happen to that place, or what has happened for that matter, but that place will always be my home.@
# Yuman
You guys better be careful!@
# Yulie
I'm just glad we managed to sort the situation.@
# Yulie
My electric charges almost ran out and I would have been useless without them.@
# Yulie
Honestly, I'm ready to deal with the fall out of this revolution.@
# Yulie
I want to make a difference. I want to make sure the new Fruma is a good place. It will for sure take some time. But, I'm ready to spend the rest of my life bettering the province.@
# Yulie
I better be seeing you later.@
# Quill
Anything on your mind?@
# Quill
I intend to make up for my past mistakes. I don't think I told you this before but, the wall that separates the Mistwoods from the Roughworks was designed by me during my university stay.@
# Quill
I thought- I thought I was protecting the people of the Roughworks from the dangers of the Mistwoods. But in reality, all I did was separate the people.@
# Quill
Fruma needs all the help it can get once this is all over. Everyone will need to cooperate to save the province from destroying itself without a ruler.@
# Quill
I'll see you around, <playername>.@
# Azael
I might hand the responsibilities for liberating Fruma to the young ones.@
# Azael
I've lived long enough and honestly, retirement sounds rather nice.@
# Azael
Good bye, <playername>.@
# Sui
...<playername>. Hey.@
# Sui
I'm... ready to go.@
# Sui
She, um... she is. S-Sovereign Zhiraok, he, um, took her to a medic. And... went to try to get control of the army.@
# Sui
...I don't want to think about him. Or- or Soosu. I don't... like that everything's just- j-just okay now. Because of a common enemy.@
# Sui
So... later. I'll think about it later. After we're d-@
# Zeph
Sui!!! I- I- I heard about what you g...guys did!! You st- st- stopped the Queen!!!@
# Sui
...yeah. Rex and <playername> did. I... didn't.@
# Zeph
What? Sui, you he- held back the lake's water from fl- fl- flooding the Auburn Forest!! If it wasn't for y...you, then-@
# Sui
It doesn't MATTER! While I was stuck h-holding back the flood, I- I couldn't help fight!! Again - AGAIN!!! - someone got hurt because I COULDN'T BE THERE!!!@
# Sui
Rex. She... she died, Zeph, I felt it. For a minute, I was holding her- her cold, LIFELESS BODY in my hands, and- a-and it was like I was there again. With... M-Mora.@
# Sui
...I failed again. I told myself, if I was STRONGER, if I was BETTER, it WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN!! And it DID!!! Even if she got better, even if she's not dead, it's still MY FAULT!!!@
# Zeph
A- and if you were able to s...save Rex, but the dam broke... and all th- those people died instead... would that have been b- be- better?@
# Zeph
I've b...been thinking about it, ever since <playername> t- told me... if- if I had been th- there, a- and not here, could I have st...stopped it...? A- an extra pair of eyes...@
# Zeph
B- but I was here, instead, a- a- and because of that, I was able to m...make sure Yuman survived! If it were the other way around... I'd feel the same!!@
# Sui
She's still out there. Through that rift. We're going to kill her, Zeph.@
# Zeph
...right now? Sui, are you s...sure? Controlling that much water, it mu- must have drained your mana... can you st...still fight?@
# Sui
...yes. I... it doesn't feel like I've used any magic at all. I, um, don't feel tired at all.@
# Sui
Ever since the Mistwoods, the ocean's... grown. Or... no, that's wrong - it was always this big, I just... couldn't see it before.@
# Sui
It's... mana, but it's not mine. It's... all the strands, the threads, tied up in everything. And I can, um, use as much as I want.@
# Zeph
...okay. So y- you- you're going now...?@
# Sui
Yes.@
# Zeph
Th- then let me join you! Things are c...calmer here, now, so- so they should be fine w- with- without me!@
# Sui
...okay, Zeph. We could use the help.@
# Yusanu
Sui, <playername>, Zeph!@
# Yusanu
I- I did it! I finally, finally, FINALLY did it!!!@
# Sui
Um... did what?@
# Yusanu
The Resonance Weaver - I had theories before, workable theories, but I wasn't sure. But I am now!!@
# Yusanu
It was in the glyphs! They don't just call upon the five elements, they ARE the five elements! Like Soosu's writings about matter - building blocks of reality!@
# Yusanu
The Weaver pulls on these strands - the physical makeup of our reality - and uses them to... well... do mostly anything.@
# Yusanu
I used it before to make that... corruption visible. But with enough experimenting, you could do more than just visualizing it.@
# Yusanu
Thread it into something else, or change the course of its flow, or... or even bind it to something physical!@
# Sui
...I didn't see her transform. What did it look like?@
# Zeph
S...so, what, that's how she b- became... human?@
# Sui
...I don't really care. Yusanu, can it help with our... um, our rift problem?@
# Yusanu
Uh... maybe. To- to be clear, the Weaver is still... hard to use. If we had people more familiar with the glyphs... it could be very powerful. But we don't.@
# Yusanu
In theory... it should be able to close the rifts. Would just- ha, need to weave reality shut again. But... I don't know how.@
# Sui
Um... S-Soveriegn Soosu might know. She and- a-and Zhiraok are... no longer against us. F-for now, at least.@
# Yusanu
...got it. I'll see what I can do..@
# Yusanu
You're... heading in to deal with the source, aren't you?@
# Zeph
We are.@
# Yusanu
Then... good luck. Don't die. Be careful. We'll hold the fort while you're gone, until everything stabilizes, at least.@
# Sui
...yeah. We should get going. See you when it's all over.@
# Sui
Hm?@
# Sui
It's fine. My mana has never been stronger. You don't have to worry about me.@
# Sui
Awful, empty, sad, enraged... Does that paint you a clear picture? But I can't afford that. Not, now.@
# Sui
I... I still haven't given it much thought.@
# Sui
I'll think about it if- when we kill her for good.@
# NOTE
Let's start heading out.@
# Sui
I'll be right behind you.@
# Yusanu
yes, any questions?@
# Yusanu
To be honest. If it weren't for your information about worlds beyond ours, I would never have figured it out. Besides, Sui taught me a lot about magic which helped...@
# Yusanu
At the end of the day, Soosu has taught me to... think outside of the box and I have gotten quite used to how she builds her inventions.@
# Yusanu
I haven't been able to test my theory on the use but I'm 98.6% certain it will work.@
# Yusanu
I have a lot I want to do. I feel like a world of opportunity has opened for me. I want to travel the world, explore the other provinces and share research.@
# Yusanu
But more importantly, I heard from Quill that Soosu is alive. I think- I think she should join me on my travels. Once the aftermath has calmed down a bit.@
# NOTE
Goodbye.@
# Yusanu
Stay safe out there.@
# Sovereign Tasim
I've.. done what I can. Reached as many people as I could, with the time I had. The rest...@
# Sovereign Tasim
The gendarme won't listen to me... their commander's disappeared somewhere, and they won't tell me anything about it.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...I thought she understood me. I still think she did, but... it doesn't make up for this. Any of this.@
# Sovereign Tasim
The cracks are finally showing... I always knew they were there, I just. Told myself they weren't the end of the world. Ha.@
# Sui
YOU!!! <playername>, what is HE doing here?! After he- he- he KILLED Rex, so why is he HERE?!@
# Sui
I should... I should kill you. You- you'd DESERVE it, for everything!!!@
# Sovereign Tasim
...maybe. Maybe I do. But I can't just leave my mistakes for other people to deal with.@
# Sovereign Tasim
I'm here to help with the Queen. I have to see it through, or... or I've made these mistakes for nothing.@
# Sui
...right. Of course you want to help, what else would you do? Sigh. Everyone who hurts me, always... out of reach.@
# Sui
Fine. Fine. Until this is done... I'll... ignore it.@
# Sui
I can't wait for this nightmare to be over...@
# Sovereign Tasim
...for what it's worth, I-@
# Sui
I don't want to hear it. I don't care what you have to say for yourself.@
# Sui
Come on. Let's go.@
# Sovereign Tasim
<playername>. I'm here, aren't I? Sigh... Look at it all. What a mess. The sky itself is cracked and broken!!@
# Sovereign Tasim
Everything she said... it was true. She had a plan to stop the end of the world. She had the method and the means...@
# Sovereign Tasim
But she was always focused on this, wasn't she? Fruma was her priority. Keeping it perfect and under her control...@
# Sovereign Tasim
Maybe I should have seen it. Maybe I did. But it doesn't matter, does it? We've found ourselves here and now either way.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...I would, wouldn't I? But there are bigger things to worry about right now.@
# Sovereign Tasim
You're going after the Queen, right? I want to help.@
# Sui
Help. You want to... fine. Fine!! Of course you get to just... turn around and be good now. Of course...@
# Sui
It's fine. It's fine! Until this is done... I'll... ignore it.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...I just want to make things right.@
# Sui
Well... you CAN'T!! Her arm is gone, FOREVER, and it's YOUR fault. She would have been DEAD, if it weren't for- f-for Zhiraok!@
# Sui
So... so I don't care. If you're going to help with the Queen... fine. But I don't want to see you ever again after we're done.@
# Sui
<playername>, Zeph, come on. Let's go.@
# Sovereign Tasim
I've been thinking. About all of it. After everything that's happened, everything she's done - everything I've done - it wouldn't be right to turn away.@
# Sovereign Tasim
It's all broken, breaking... and maybe it always was. And this is just the truth finally being visible.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...I just wanted to do something about it all. About the realms... but also about Fruma. But... I was never going to make any real change, was I?@
# Sovereign Tasim
I'll help you take her down. It's only right. After that... I don't know.@
# Sui
W-well? What do you have to say for yourself?!@
# Sovereign Tasim
...you're right.@
# Sui
Then- th-then... I'll...@
# Sui
...I can't. I... I can't do it.@
# Sui
After everything... after EVERYTHING, I get a CHANCE to- to- to get back at s-someone who's hurt me, and- and- a-and I CAN'T DO IT?!@
# Sui
...whatever. WAHTEVER!! Let's just go deal with the STUPID Queen!!@
# Sovereign Tasim
...I'm sorry.@
# Sui
I don't care.@
# Sui
<playername>, Zeph, let's just... go.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...no more excuses.@
# Zeph
How is- is this going to go?@
# Sovereign Two
And so, the cards fall. The shards collapse as decisions are made and paths are chosen. What a destructive end it has turned out to be.@
# Sovereign Two
In retrospect, it seems an inevitability... each decision branching out from the last. What was the weight that sent it over the edge? The tournament? The selection?@
# Sovereign Two
Would you have been the better choice? No. Having seen now what I have, I am only more certain. But perhaps it could have saved us all this mess.@
# Sovereign Two
Oh, Anathema... what a mess you've left in your wake...@
# Sovereign Two
You will face no resistance from me. I do not have a death wish.@
# Sovereign Two
So go on, fellow Scion. Put an end to this.@
# Sovereign Tasim
Don't call me-@
# Sovereign Two
Sovereign, then? Deny it all you like, but you chose to take on that role.@
# Sovereign Two
As with each of us, that mark remains. It cannot be so easily discarded. It cannot be forgotten.@
# Sovereign Two
Her power gifted, drawn through the mark... and she has given much away in pursuit of this freedom, hasn't she...@
# Sovereign Two
How much of it remains now, I wonder? Enough to guarantee her victory? Or, perhaps... little enough to grant you a chance of success...?@
# Sovereign Two
Hm! I cannot say for certain. Of all things, this variable yet eludes me. The shards are inconclusive - equally favourable and not.@
# Sovereign Two
But you... an unexpected variable, though not unwelcome. A naturally-born manaweaver! I thought I'd never see the day.@
# Sui
Wh... what?@
# Sovereign Two
...naturally, you do not know the gift you possess. That knowledge was lost with the old world, after all. Will you grow into that power? Or will you allow it to consume you?@
# Sovereign Two
Only time will tell.@
# Sovereign Two
And you. Do you remember what I asked you? If not Her, then who?@
# Sovereign Two
From here, there are no easy paths - your decisions have buried all of those. For Fruma, for the world... each step towards a better future will be a bitter, hard-fought victory.@
# Sovereign Two
But perhaps it will prove worthwhile, after all! You've surprised me once already - who's to say you won't do it again? An uncertain future... what an exciting prospect.@
# Sovereign Two
I hope to see you all once more, somewhere down this winding road of ours.@
# Sovereign Tasim
...oh. Hello.@
# Sovereign Tasim
I'm... I don't know. Saying goodbye, I guess.@
# Sovereign Tasim
I should... get going. I'll, uh... see you around.@
# NOTE
I'm sorry I couldn't make it there in time. I'm sorry I never got to say goodbye.@
# NOTE
These past few days, I've been spinning scenarios in my head, desperately trying to think of a way I could have saved you... but I haven't been able to.@
# NOTE
Maybe there was nothing I could have done. Maybe it was always going to be this way.@
# NOTE
In another life, another world, could we have gotten a happy ending?@
# NOTE
I'd like to think so.@
# NOTE
But we only get one chance, and this is the one I'm left with.@
# NOTE
I'll try to keep on living. For you.@
# NOTE
I'll never forget you, or the time we had together.@
# NOTE
I hope it meant as much to you as it did to me.@
# NOTE
Rest well, friend. You've earned it.@
# NOTE
Tasim, I hope this letter reaches you well.@
# NOTE
It's been a bit, hasn't it! I hope you've been doing well in Gavel.@
# NOTE
You've had lots of exciting adventures there while I've been gone, I'm sure! I can't wait to hear about all of them.@
# NOTE
But, ah, on the topic of adventure I'm writing to you BECAUSE of one. Or, well, something along those lines.@
# NOTE
I'm planning a scouting mission into... a dangerous place.@
# NOTE
We've only recently discovered it exists, and Aegis wants a better read on it... it's so secret I'm not allowed to send any details by letter!@
# NOTE
I'd like you to come and join me.@
# NOTE
I have Elphie helping me with research, and we also have Lucio I told you about Lucio, right? so, it won't be anyone entirely unfamiliar.@
# NOTE
We're looking for a fourth, and... well, you know there's no one I'd rather have by my side than you, right?@
# NOTE
It shouldn't be anything we can't handle, but... I'd appreciate your help nonetheless.@
# NOTE
And either way, it's been a long while since you've been to Wynn, hasn't it?@
# NOTE
So you should come back and visit! A change of scenery would do you some good, I think.@
# NOTE
See you soon!@
