Dialogue

I cannot lose. I cannot give up. Returning my ruined world to the way it once was? Connecting everyone's hopes? Saving my brother? All of this falls to me. That's why... O Dawnshard, by your great power, show me the way once more! (Could this sensation be...?!) Yes! The way is opened! Now I can go back and... Oh no! Please don't close! Just stay open for a little bit longer! I don't...have enough mana... NO! *pant* *pant* No matter what I do, it just won't work. The Other's power in that world is still... Urk... I'm...spent. (Hard...to breathe. Head feels...heavy. Think I used too much mana... in too short of a time.) (But compared to the pain and suffering everyone else went through, this kind of thing is nothing...) I'm the last one left...and I have no choice but to soldier on...! (There's still hope. Just now, for the first time, I managed to reopen it, if only briefly...) (That means the Dawnshard hasn't lost its power. So...) (If I can draw my form in mana more clearly, more powerfully, next time I'm sure it will open...) O shard, I beseech you... Show me the way once more... What is that sound?! ROOOOOAR! It destroyed the barrier I cast upon the Halidom! But...that shouldn't be possible... Has the Other come here personally?! No... Unfortunately, it seems I have no choice but to leave this place for now. (But I will never give up— I WILL return to that world.) (I failed many times in countless worlds. I started to feel despair. But then I came upon the one and only possibility...) (And I know the key to getting my brother back lies in that particular world.) (So until I find it and return to this world...) Please be all right, Brother. ......
