Dialogue

Euden: HRAAH!

Fiend: Nraaugh!

Euden: *pant* I've never seen so many fiends... And not an imperial soldier in sight. I guess it's pretty rare for humans to make it this far down. Zethia has to be close... Let's keep moving!

Elisanne: Your Highness! Behind you!

Fiend: Graaaorgh! Nrrgh!

Luca: Focus, man! If you get lost in thought, you'll fall before we reach her.

Euden: Thanks, Luca.

Luca: I know what it's like to worry about a sister, but you have to keep a level head. There's no room for mistakes here.

Mym: Though the sight of you desperately fighting to save her is SO terribly endearing, darling.

Shadowwyrm: NROOOOOAWR!

Notte: The Shadowwyrm! It's close now!

Fiend: Grrrrrr!

Euden: Rgh! We're not going to get anywhere with all these fiends hounding us!

Fiend: Nwargh!

Elisanne: Go to her, Your Highness! Leave this fight to us!

Ranzal: Yeah, get outta here already! We can handle these chumps.

Elisanne: By my honor as a Paladyn, they shall go no farther. Now fly to the Auspex!

Euden: Thank you, everyone. Come on, Notte!

Notte: Right behind you!

Zethia: We've reached the heart of the ruins, but why? What dark purpose brings you here?

Other: Dark? Oh no, my dear Auspex. Quite the opposite, in fact. I bear good news for you. I will release your father here—with full apologies for how long it has taken.

Zethia: What deceit is this?

Other: A more sincere truth was never spoken. However...

Zethia: ...What?!
