Dialogue
The Prince: ?
Valyx: Graaah...
The Prince: Valyx? How did you...?
Valyx: Must kill...Euden... Urrgh...this...blasted...MASK... You think you can control MEEEE?!
Everyone: ?!
Nedrick: He is unshackling himself of the mask's influence through sheer force of will. How utterly fascinating.
Valyx: *pant* *pant* *pant* Nedrick... You DASTARD!
The Prince: Stop, Valyx! You mustn't! We need to heal your wounds first!
Valyx: Be silent! These wounds...are nothing compared to their pain...
Valyx: Hraaaagh!
Nedrick: !
Valyx: As tribute to my fallen soldiers... I will have your HEAD!
Nedrick: It would seem I have underestimated you.
Valyx: Urk... What...? You yet bear such strength...
Nedrick: Permit me to respond with my full power.
The Prince: Valyx!
Valyx: *pant* *pant* Flee this wretched place, Euden...
The Prince: I won't leave you and Zethia!
The Prince: D-dammit... My body won't respond!
Zena: I have to save my brother... I have to save everyone!
Zena: (I could use my power to carry us all away from this place, but I may not have enough mana left...)
Zena: (If I use all of my mana, I will disappear from this world again—and perhaps even fade away in my own...)
The Prince: Zena... Heh. I like it. Welcome aboard, Zena.
Zena: (I must save my kindly brother— the one with me in the here and now!)
Zena: (Even if it means I burn out and disappear for good!)
The Prince: That's the same light we saw back in the binding ruins!
Zena: Good. I think I have enough mana. Now to hurry us from this place.
Ciella: You will do nothing of the sort!
Zena: Urgh...
The Prince: ZENA!
Ciella: You cannot escape; it is your destiny to die here.
Zena: Urgh... My mana...
Notte: Zena! No... No! We were finally together again!
???: I am NOT losing you here.
Zena: Zethia!
Zethia: I shall make up for the power you lack. Let us again offer up our prayers as one!
Zena: ...Yes! O Goddess Ilia, grant me your divine aegis!
Zethia: In the name of holy Elysium, make manifest your miraculous power!
Nedrick: This is an ill power... No! Stay back!
The Prince: We're being wrapped in a wall of light...
Zethia: The sacred light is a protective barrier, but I fear it will not hold for long. Now take my mana—quickly!
Zena: I feel the mana flowing through me... Thank you, Zethia!
Zethia: You are most welcome, other Zethia.
Zena: Please, call me Zena. But we will talk later—we haven't a moment to lose in fleeing this place.
Zena: Stand fast, everyone! We leave now!
Nedrick: STOP!
The Prince: Nedrick!
Nedrick: Wherever you flee, Zethia, I will follow. I shall find you and return you to my side.
Nedrick: And when next I do find you, I shall end the lives of everyone here—EVERYONE.
Zethia: No...
Nedrick: I offer you a final choice: Flee this place for a time and ensure the eventual demise of those you name friend...or stay behind.
Zethia: ......
The Prince: Zethia, what are you hesitating for? You can't believe anything he says! And besides, I WILL protect you!
Zethia: Euden, I...
Zethia: I will remain here.
The Prince: No! You have to come with me!
Zethia: I am sorry, my brother. I cannot.
Zethia: Hurry, Zena! The barrier is about to fall!
The Prince: Zena, wait! We have to bring Zethia!
Zena: !
The Prince: Fine then. Leave me here with her.
Zethia: Zena, please. You must stay by my brother's side while I cannot.
Zena: ...I understand.
Zethia: Forgive me, Euden.
The Prince: ZETHIAAAAA!
Zethia: Be safe.
Valyx: Watch yourself, Sister... This man...
Zethia: Valyx!
Otoha: Hey, boss man! Can we make a mess of this big ol' dolly here yet?
Ayaha: Yeah! We wanna play NOW!
Zethia: No... You cannot... Stop!
Nedrick: Leave him where he lies— I will tolerate no further meddling.
Ayaha: BOOO-RING.
Nedrick: Why did you choose to remain in this place, Auspex?
Zethia: Do not misunderstand my intentions. I am not submitting to you—I remained of my own volition.
Zethia: I shall take your full measure and then find a way to reclaim my brother's honor.
Nedrick: You are strong, Auspex. As such, I would have you accompany me, that you might witness the world with your own eyes.
Zethia: ......
Ciella: An interesting series of choices today, Nedrick. Are you feeling well?
Ciella: You question the princess and attempt to kill the prince? If I did not know any better, I would think you are letting your emotions rule the day.
Nedrick: ......
Nedrick: Prepare to set out, all of you. We take the Auspex north.
Nedrick: From there, we make for the sacred tree that lies beyond the Faerie Kingdom in northern Grastaea.
Nedrick: The Dawnshard ought to be there.
