1,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000020_ESTINIEN","Vrtra, I presume."
2,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000030_VARSHAHNBIG","Indeed. This vessel now serves as a host for my eye."
3,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000040_VARSHAHNBIG","I was aware that the alchemists were busy preparing something, but this..."
4,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000050_NIDHANA","We couldn't well send you on such a perilous mission unprepared, Your Excellency."
5,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000060_NIDHANA","We spared no effort in crafting the body, and I daresay you'll find it adept at wielding weapons and magicks both."
6,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000070_NIDHANA","'Twas our intent to present it to you sooner, but we could not bring ourselves to do so knowing we could yet improve it further. Pray forgive us..."
7,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000080_VARSHAHNBIG","There is naught to forgive. I am grateful for this fine vessel, and shall put it to good use."
8,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000090_VARSHAHNBIG","Again, I ask that you watch over Radz-at-Han in my absence. The dangers we go to face are great and many, and I fear I will be unable to give matters here due attention."
9,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000100_VARSHAHNBIG","And in opening the voidgate, there is ever risk that voidsent will find their way into our world..."
10,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000110_NAHBDEEN","Rest assured we are more than prepared."
11,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000120_NAHBDEEN","Our soldiers have been training under Master Estinien. On my honor, we will not suffer a single fiend to pass."
12,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000130_NAHBDEEN","So think only of your mission, Varshahn."
13,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000140_NAHBDEEN","Ah, but seeing as this is a different body, perhaps we should use a different name?"
14,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000150_VARSHAHNBIG","Nay, Varshahn shall suffice. Though I may have thus grown up, I am as ever a little brother to you all."
15,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000160_NAHBDEEN","As you say, as you say. Go then, Varshahn, and best of luck!"
16,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000170_YSHTOLA","I have something for you as well."
17,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000180_YSHTOLA","While you were gone, Urianger paid us a visit."
18,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000190_YSHTOLA","As you may recall, he joined us on our foray into Alzadaal's Legacy in part to conduct research for the Loporrits."
19,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000200_YSHTOLA","Research they were delighted to receive, and which has already inspired them to consider new ways to improve their own treasure vault."
20,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000210_YSHTOLA","As a token of their gratitude, Livingway entrusted a familiar relic to Urianger..."
21,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000220_YSHTOLA","Aye, the crystal which showed the way to Meteion. "
22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000230_YSHTOLA","The Loporrits no longer have need of it, and thus saw fit to return it to us."
23,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000240_YSHTOLA","Harboring the power of Light, it could well aid us in our mission in the void."
24,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000250_YSHTOLA","And who better to bear Hydaelyn's gift than Her chosen champion?"
25,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000260_VARSHAHNBIG","If there is nothing left to discuss, then let us depart. Our boat awaits us in Akyaali."
26,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000270_VARSHAHNBIG","I shall now lift the seal."
27,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000280_VARSHAHNBIG","In the name of Alzadaal III... I cast open this door unto the void!"
28,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000290_YSHTOLA","Go! Absorb the voidgate!"
29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000300_YSHTOLA","It worked. We should have no trouble passing through a gate of that size."
30,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000310_ESTINIEN","What can we expect to find after stepping through?"
31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000320_VARSHAHNBIG","On my previous foray, I emerged in a castle swarming with voidsent."
32,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000330_VARSHAHNBIG","I was hopelessly outnumbered and forced to turn back. But together, I am confident we can hold our own."
33,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000340_VARSHAHNBIG","Upon our arrival, let us deal with any hostile entities and secure the area."
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000350_VARSHAHNBIG","The command of our mission, I leave in your capable hands."
35,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000360_VARSHAHNBIG","In the event of battle, I shall adapt my tactics to complement your own."
36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000370_YSHTOLA","Should we require healing, I can provide it. 'Twould be a welcome change of pace from my recent havoc wreaking."
37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000380_VARSHAHNBIG","Take heart, my friends, and have faith. We will brave this broken world and rescue my sister Azdaja!"
38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000390_EARTHMONOLITH","Ssso the gate <Emphasis>did</Emphasis> open again. And delivered the most mouthwatering morselsss..."
39,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000400_EARTHMONOLITH","I am Scarmiglione─archfiend of earth, and first of Golbez's circle of four!"
40,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000410_EARTHMONOLITH","Sssuch pleasure I will take in delivering you unto your graves!"
41,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000420_EARTHMONOLITH","Urrrgh... My flesssh..."
42,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000430_ESTINIEN","This Scarmiglione─he <Emphasis>knew</Emphasis> the gate had opened."
43,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000440_YSHTOLA","And not for the first time. He and his brethren must keep watch over the portal."
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000450_VARSHAHNBIG","As we do ours. But to unflinchingly consume a fellow voidsent..."
45,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000460_VARSHAHNBIG","Like men, perhaps they form factions and fight amongst themselves."
46,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000470_ESTINIEN","The question is, what will the minions do?"
47,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000480_ESTINIEN","Your mistress is no more, and the one who consumed her we slew in turn. Do you still mean to try us?"
48,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000490_YSHTOLA","I expect some voidsent are more intelligent than others. Perhaps these ones simply do not understand our words."
49,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000500_ESTINIEN","Hmph. Even beasts ought to understand strength."
50,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000510_VARSHAHNBIG","There is much we do not know about voidsent. If we are to survive their world, 'twould be wise to learn their ways."
51,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
52,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE","Let's proceed with caution and pick up what we can."
53,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE","Don't overthink it─we'll improvise as we go along."
54,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000520_VARSHAHNBIG","Sage advice, my friend. 'Tis reassuring to have one so experienced with us."
55,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000530_VARSHAHNBIG","If that is your preferred approach, then very well. I shall defer to your adventurer's intuition."
56,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000540_VARSHAHNBIG","I am here, Sister. Finally here. And I will find you─I swear it..."
57,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000550_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)You..."
58,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000560_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)You are...the friend?"
59,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
60,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE","You're the voidsent bound to Zenos!"
61,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE","Didn't you fade away when Zenos fell?"
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000570_YSHTOLA","I see it now. The bottomless darkness. The insatiable hunger. The aura was present when we faced him in Garlemald."
63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000580_ESTINIEN","How did it come to be here?"
64,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000590_YSHTOLA","When Zenos died, its connection to the Source was severed. It was forced to return to the void."
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000600_VARSHAHNBIG","Zenos? The disgraced prince you yourself laid low?"
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000610_YSHTOLA","I see it now. The bottomless darkness. The insatiable hunger. The aura was present when we faced him in Garlemald."
67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000620_YSHTOLA","When Zenos died, its connection to the Source was severed. It was forced to return to the void."
68,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000630_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Zenos..."
69,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000640_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Yes, that was his name. And you <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> the friend, are you not?"
70,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000650_YSHTOLA","Is that...Hydaelyn's crystal!?"
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000660_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)But how?"
72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000670_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)The light just now... Of course. And thus I am returned..."
73,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000680_VARSHAHNBIG","What do you mean, “returned”? Who are you?"
74,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000690_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)I was once bound to the man named Zenos."
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000700_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)His “avatar”─until you killed him."
76,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000710_YSHTOLA","“Avatar” as in the voidsent servants of reapers."
77,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000720_YSHTOLA","“Avatar” as in the voidsent servants of reapers."
78,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000730_YSHTOLA","In the name of his hunt, Zenos took up that traditional Garlean art."
79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000740_YSHTOLA","And through it, he forged a covenant with a being of the void to lend him strength."
80,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000750_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)“Covenant”? A curse, more like. He stole my power. There was no equity in the arrangement."
81,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000760_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)My very essence was altered. Twisted into a tool to serve his desires."
82,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000770_VARSHAHNBIG","Your previous appearance. This is your true form, then?"
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000780_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Perhaps. Perhaps not. What does it matter?"
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000790_ESTINIEN","Indeed. It doesn't."
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000800_ESTINIEN","Regardless of your form, you are a voidsent by nature."
86,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000810_ESTINIEN","So answer me this: are you our enemy too?"
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000820_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)In this world, only a fool would attempt to devour a stronger being."
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000830_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)And though it was as an avatar, I lost to you once. I have no desire to lose again."
89,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000840_ESTINIEN","Good enough for me."
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000850_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Now, you will answer me a question."
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000860_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Zenos called you “friend.” That's what you are? A friend?"
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE","Strictly speaking, I'm <Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>."
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE","Whatever Zenos may have said, I wasn't his friend."
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE","Not to you. At least, not yet."
96,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000870_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)So...you're not a friend?"
97,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000880_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Then..."
98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000890_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)What is it? What is a friend?"
99,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000900_EARTHMONOLITH","Report if displayed."
100,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000910_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)This is where I belong. My home. This endless darkness you call the void..."
101,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000920_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)There was once light here, and it shone its warmth upon creation. The lands were green and the seas were blue. Life flourished."
102,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000930_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Before the war. The Contramemoria."
103,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000940_VARSHAHNBIG","It must have been a terrible war indeed..."
104,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000950_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)It shattered the balance, causing Darkness to engulf the world."
105,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000960_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)All life was transformed into monstrosities─voidsent."
106,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000970_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)<Emphasis>We</Emphasis> are the natural order now."
107,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000980_YSHTOLA","As Light begat sin eaters, Darkness begat voidsent."
108,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000990_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)The sun was driven from the sky as fleeting day yielded to endless night. In time, even land and sea lost their distinction."
109,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001000_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)And though the spark of reason had died in us, driven by memory's shadow, we formed factions and carved out domains."
110,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001010_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)This castle, for instance. Its erstwhile lord must have abided in such a place once upon a time."
111,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001020_YSHTOLA","If I may... The Darkness in you is too much for any man to harbor; to my eyes, you are indeed a voidsent."
112,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001030_YSHTOLA","Yet your knowledge of the past and your demeanor mark you apart from your brethren."
113,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001040_YSHTOLA","You are different, that much is plain. But in what way, I am unsure."
114,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001050_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As you say, I am voidsent. But only in part."
115,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001060_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)The Darkness touched my mother when the war had only just begun. When I was still in the womb."
116,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001070_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As a child, I looked like any other. But Darkness coursed through me, and I ceased to age when I'd become a woman grown."
117,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001080_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)But that was then, and now...I may as well be one in full."
118,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001090_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)I prey on the weak and serve the strong. I live to survive. Nothing more."
119,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001100_YSHTOLA","Forgive me, 'twas not my intent to pry..."
120,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001110_YSHTOLA","I realize, too, that I've neglected to ask your name."
121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001120_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As we say “mortal,” you may call me “voidsent.”"
122,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001130_VARSHAHNBIG","That is liable to cause confusion. If you are not averse, we would address you by your true name."
123,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001140_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Then call me what you will. I care not."
124,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001150_YSHTOLA","How about...“Zero”?"
125,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001160_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Meaning “nothing”? A name as fitting as any."
126,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001170_YSHTOLA","No, not “nothing,” but rather a “beginning.” For it remains to be seen what you will become to us."
127,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001180_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","(-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As I said, I care not. Zero, then."
128,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
129,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE","Here's to a fruitful partnership."
130,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE","I think it's a nice name."
131,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001190_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","Partnership...? Are you saying you wish to strike a bargain?"
132,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001200_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","A name is a string of sounds. Its meaning has no bearing on my nature."
133,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001210_VARSHAHNBIG","Well, Zero. While there is no end to the questions we could ask, 'tis only fair that we tell you our purpose in coming here."
134,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001220_VARSHAHNBIG","We are searching for a dragon, one who came to your world long ago."
135,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001230_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","A dragon?"
136,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001240_VARSHAHNBIG","Yes. Azdaja is her name, and she is my sister. If you have any knowledge of her, I beg you share it with us."
137,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001250_EARTHMONOLITH","(-???-)Hissssss..."
138,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001260_VARSHAHNBIG","Did you say something?"
139,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001270_ESTINIEN","No..."
140,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001280_YSHTOLA","I thought I heard a voice as well. The keening of voidsent, perhaps..."
141,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001290_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","This place is as good as any. Let me have the aether now."
142,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001300_YSHTOLA","Very well."
143,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001310_EARTHMONOLITH","(-???-)Hissssss..."

147,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001340_ESTINIEN","That fiend again? But we struck it down─watched it die!"
148,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001350_EARTHMONOLITH","Fools. Death doesn't exissst in this world. And I─I am free to return whensoever I please."
149,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001360_YSHTOLA","Death doesn't exist...?"
150,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001370_YSHTOLA","Report if displayed."
151,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001380_YSHTOLA","Of course. In the First, the power of Light─of passivity─prevents life from emerging in the Empty."
152,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001390_YSHTOLA","But in the Thirteenth, the power of Darkness─of activity─prevents life from finding rest, even should soul be separated from flesh."
153,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001400_VARSHAHNBIG","So unless one's essence is absorbed by another, 'tis possible to return again and again..."
154,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001410_EARTHMONOLITH","Hm... Your aether─it is reminissscent of that creature's. Ahhh, my mouth waters at the memory..."
155,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001420_VARSHAHNBIG","What?"
156,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001430_EARTHMONOLITH","I must devour you too. Yes, I must!"
157,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001440_EARTHMONOLITH","Ye drifting souls, by my power be reborn!"
158,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001450_ESTINIEN","If it's another death they want, I say we give it to them."
159,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001460_YSHTOLA","If you could lend us a hand, we'd be much obliged."
160,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001470_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","That you would. But you already owe me a debt, and until you make good on it, I won't lift a finger."
161,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001480_MYSTERIOUSPERSON","We'll speak after you have won. But know that if you lose, I'll help myself to your aether."
162,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001490_EARTHMONOLITH","That a bothersome duty should deliver to me this lavish feassst..."
163,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001500_EARTHMONOLITH","Come, struggle with all your might! It will make you that much richer and tastier!"
164,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001510_EARTHMONOLITH","When will you learn? No matter what you do, you cannot hope to win."
165,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001520_YSHTOLA","You never know until you try, and I'm always happy to experiment."

15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000120_NAHBDEEN Our soldiers have been training under Master Estinien. On my honor, we will not suffer a single fiend to pass.

26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000230_YSHTOLA The Loporrits no longer have need of it, and thus saw fit to return it to us.

37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000340_VARSHAHNBIG Upon our arrival, let us deal with any hostile entities and secure the area.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000350_VARSHAHNBIG The command of our mission, I leave in your capable hands.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000360_VARSHAHNBIG In the event of battle, I shall adapt my tactics to complement your own.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000370_YSHTOLA Should we require healing, I can provide it. 'Twould be a welcome change of pace from my recent havoc wreaking.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000380_VARSHAHNBIG Take heart, my friends, and have faith. We will brave this broken world and rescue my sister Azdaja!
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000390_EARTHMONOLITH Ssso the gate <Emphasis>did</Emphasis> open again. And delivered the most mouthwatering morselsss...
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000400_EARTHMONOLITH I am Scarmiglione─archfiend of earth, and first of Golbez's circle of four!

45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000420_EARTHMONOLITH Urrrgh... My flesssh...
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000430_ESTINIEN This Scarmiglione─he <Emphasis>knew</Emphasis> the gate had opened.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000440_YSHTOLA And not for the first time. He and his brethren must keep watch over the portal.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000450_VARSHAHNBIG As we do ours. But to unflinchingly consume a fellow voidsent...
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000460_VARSHAHNBIG Like men, perhaps they form factions and fight amongst themselves.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000470_ESTINIEN The question is, what will the minions do?
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000480_ESTINIEN Your mistress is no more, and the one who consumed her we slew in turn. Do you still mean to try us?
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000490_YSHTOLA I expect some voidsent are more intelligent than others. Perhaps these ones simply do not understand our words.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000500_ESTINIEN Hmph. Even beasts ought to understand strength.
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000510_VARSHAHNBIG There is much we do not know about voidsent. If we are to survive their world, 'twould be wise to learn their ways.
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE Let's proceed with caution and pick up what we can.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE Don't overthink it─we'll improvise as we go along.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000520_VARSHAHNBIG Sage advice, my friend. 'Tis reassuring to have one so experienced with us.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000530_VARSHAHNBIG If that is your preferred approach, then very well. I shall defer to your adventurer's intuition.
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000540_VARSHAHNBIG I am here, Sister. Finally here. And I will find you─I swear it...
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000550_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)You...
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000560_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)You are...the friend?

64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE You're the voidsent bound to Zenos!
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE Didn't you fade away when Zenos fell?
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000570_YSHTOLA I see it now. The bottomless darkness. The insatiable hunger. The aura was present when we faced him in Garlemald.
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000580_ESTINIEN How did it come to be here?
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000590_YSHTOLA When Zenos died, its connection to the Source was severed. It was forced to return to the void.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000600_VARSHAHNBIG Zenos? The disgraced prince you yourself laid low?
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000610_YSHTOLA I see it now. The bottomless darkness. The insatiable hunger. The aura was present when we faced him in Garlemald.
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000620_YSHTOLA When Zenos died, its connection to the Source was severed. It was forced to return to the void.
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000630_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Zenos...
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000640_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Yes, that was his name. And you <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> the friend, are you not?
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000650_YSHTOLA Is that...Hydaelyn's crystal!?
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000660_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)But how?
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000670_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)The light just now... Of course. And thus I am returned...
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000680_VARSHAHNBIG What do you mean, “returned”? Who are you?
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000690_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)I was once bound to the man named Zenos.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000700_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)His “avatar”─until you killed him.
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000710_YSHTOLA “Avatar” as in the voidsent servants of reapers.
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000720_YSHTOLA “Avatar” as in the voidsent servants of reapers.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000730_YSHTOLA In the name of his hunt, Zenos took up that traditional Garlean art.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000740_YSHTOLA And through it, he forged a covenant with a being of the void to lend him strength.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000750_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)“Covenant”? A curse, more like. He stole my power. There was no equity in the arrangement.
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000760_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)My very essence was altered. Twisted into a tool to serve his desires.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000770_VARSHAHNBIG Your previous appearance. This is your true form, then?
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000780_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Perhaps. Perhaps not. What does it matter?
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000790_ESTINIEN Indeed. It doesn't.
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000800_ESTINIEN Regardless of your form, you are a voidsent by nature.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000810_ESTINIEN So answer me this: are you our enemy too?
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000820_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)In this world, only a fool would attempt to devour a stronger being.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000830_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)And though it was as an avatar, I lost to you once. I have no desire to lose again.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000840_ESTINIEN Good enough for me.
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000850_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Now, you will answer me a question.
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000860_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Zenos called you “friend.” That's what you are? A friend?
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE Strictly speaking, I'm <Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>.
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE Whatever Zenos may have said, I wasn't his friend.
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE Not to you. At least, not yet.
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000870_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)So...you're not a friend?
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000880_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Then...
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000890_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)What is it? What is a friend?
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000900_EARTHMONOLITH Report if displayed.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000910_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)This is where I belong. My home. This endless darkness you call the void...
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000920_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)There was once light here, and it shone its warmth upon creation. The lands were green and the seas were blue. Life flourished.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000930_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Before the war. The Contramemoria.
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000940_VARSHAHNBIG It must have been a terrible war indeed...
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000950_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)It shattered the balance, causing Darkness to engulf the world.
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000960_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)All life was transformed into monstrosities─voidsent.
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000970_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)<Emphasis>We</Emphasis> are the natural order now.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000980_YSHTOLA As Light begat sin eaters, Darkness begat voidsent.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000990_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)The sun was driven from the sky as fleeting day yielded to endless night. In time, even land and sea lost their distinction.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001000_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)And though the spark of reason had died in us, driven by memory's shadow, we formed factions and carved out domains.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001010_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)This castle, for instance. Its erstwhile lord must have abided in such a place once upon a time.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001020_YSHTOLA If I may... The Darkness in you is too much for any man to harbor; to my eyes, you are indeed a voidsent.
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001030_YSHTOLA Yet your knowledge of the past and your demeanor mark you apart from your brethren.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001040_YSHTOLA You are different, that much is plain. But in what way, I am unsure.
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001050_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As you say, I am voidsent. But only in part.
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001060_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)The Darkness touched my mother when the war had only just begun. When I was still in the womb.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001070_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As a child, I looked like any other. But Darkness coursed through me, and I ceased to age when I'd become a woman grown.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001080_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)But that was then, and now...I may as well be one in full.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001090_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)I prey on the weak and serve the strong. I live to survive. Nothing more.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001100_YSHTOLA Forgive me, 'twas not my intent to pry...
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001110_YSHTOLA I realize, too, that I've neglected to ask your name.
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001120_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As we say “mortal,” you may call me “voidsent.”
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001130_VARSHAHNBIG That is liable to cause confusion. If you are not averse, we would address you by your true name.
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001140_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Then call me what you will. I care not.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001150_YSHTOLA How about...“Zero”?
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001160_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)Meaning “nothing”? A name as fitting as any.
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001170_YSHTOLA No, not “nothing,” but rather a “beginning.” For it remains to be seen what you will become to us.
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001180_MYSTERIOUSPERSON (-Dark-robed Voidsent-)As I said, I care not. Zero, then.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE Here's to a fruitful partnership.
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE I think it's a nice name.
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001190_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Partnership...? Are you saying you wish to strike a bargain?
136 132 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001200_MYSTERIOUSPERSON A name is a string of sounds. Its meaning has no bearing on my nature.
137 133 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001210_VARSHAHNBIG Well, Zero. While there is no end to the questions we could ask, 'tis only fair that we tell you our purpose in coming here.
138 134 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001220_VARSHAHNBIG We are searching for a dragon, one who came to your world long ago.
139 135 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001230_MYSTERIOUSPERSON A dragon?
140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001240_VARSHAHNBIG Yes. Azdaja is her name, and she is my sister. If you have any knowledge of her, I beg you share it with us.
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001250_EARTHMONOLITH (-???-)Hissssss...
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001260_VARSHAHNBIG Did you say something?
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001270_ESTINIEN No...
144 140 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001280_YSHTOLA I thought I heard a voice as well. The keening of voidsent, perhaps...
145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001290_MYSTERIOUSPERSON This place is as good as any. Let me have the aether now.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001300_YSHTOLA Very well.

152 148 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001350_EARTHMONOLITH Fools. Death doesn't exissst in this world. And I─I am free to return whensoever I please.
153 149 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001360_YSHTOLA Death doesn't exist...?

155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001380_YSHTOLA Of course. In the First, the power of Light─of passivity─prevents life from emerging in the Empty.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001390_YSHTOLA But in the Thirteenth, the power of Darkness─of activity─prevents life from finding rest, even should soul be separated from flesh.
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001400_VARSHAHNBIG So unless one's essence is absorbed by another, 'tis possible to return again and again...
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001410_EARTHMONOLITH Hm... Your aether─it is reminissscent of that creature's. Ahhh, my mouth waters at the memory...
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001420_VARSHAHNBIG What?
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001430_EARTHMONOLITH I must devour you too. Yes, I must!
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001440_EARTHMONOLITH Ye drifting souls, by my power be reborn!
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001450_ESTINIEN If it's another death they want, I say we give it to them.
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001460_YSHTOLA If you could lend us a hand, we'd be much obliged.
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001470_MYSTERIOUSPERSON That you would. But you already owe me a debt, and until you make good on it, I won't lift a finger.
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001480_MYSTERIOUSPERSON We'll speak after you have won. But know that if you lose, I'll help myself to your aether.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001490_EARTHMONOLITH That a bothersome duty should deliver to me this lavish feassst...
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001500_EARTHMONOLITH Come, struggle with all your might! It will make you that much richer and tastier!
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001510_EARTHMONOLITH When will you learn? No matter what you do, you cannot hope to win.
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001520_YSHTOLA You never know until you try, and I'm always happy to experiment.
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001530_ESTINIEN Zero─is there no way to stop them from coming back?
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001540_MYSTERIOUSPERSON There is. But I have no reason to share it with you.

175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001580_YSHTOLA You'll have your promised aether, but we are owed compensation for your name.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001590_MYSTERIOUSPERSON A name for which I did not ask...
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001600_MYSTERIOUSPERSON But that I nevertheless did accept.

185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001680_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Now that I think on it, you owe me a debt as well.

204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001860_BLACKKNIGHT Very well. Behold.
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001870_FIREMONOLITH (-Dignified Voidsent-)The fiery wings, the savage horns...it pulses with life! Such vibrant aether!
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001880_FIREMONOLITH (-Dignified Voidsent-)This magnificent creature could only come from beyond the veil.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001890_BLACKKNIGHT Indeed. Feast, my friends. Feast, and arise as my four archfiends!
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001900_BLACKKNIGHT As they are now, they can consume but a fraction of the dragon's aether.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001910_BLACKKNIGHT Just as well. The creature may yet serve other ends.
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001920_ESTINIEN Are you all right?
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001930_YSHTOLA The voidsent's essence remains.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001940_YSHTOLA But it has been sealed away─transformed into crystal.
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001950_VARSHAHNBIG “Memoria,” Scarmiglione called them.
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001960_VARSHAHNBIG I take it they are connected to the war of which you spoke.
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001970_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Aye─their use was central to the Contramemoria, hence its name.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001980_MYSTERIOUSPERSON And to my knowledge, the transformation is permanent.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001990_VARSHAHNBIG I see. We thank you for coming to our aid.
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002000_MYSTERIOUSPERSON I repaid a debt, and in doing so ensured that I receive my own due compensation. Which I shall have now.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002010_YSHTOLA Yes, yes. I still have work to do, so I would thank you not to get carried away.

224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002060_VARSHAHNBIG A dragon resembling a great wyrm? I dare to hope that it was Azdaja...

232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002140_MYSTERIOUSPERSON In the beginning, it was a sanctuary for me alone.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002150_MYSTERIOUSPERSON But over time, others began to gather here. Those who had nowhere else to go.

247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002280_FIREMONOLITH (-Throne of Fire-)I struggle to believe it...
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002290_SPYVOIDSENT (-Spy's Voice-)There is more, my lords. They were aided by one of our world, who transformed Scarmiglione's soul into crystal!

250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002310_WATERMONOLITH (-Throne of Water-)Now there's a word I've not heard for an age. It'd bring a pang of nostalgia to my breast and a tear to my eye...

252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002330_BLACKKNIGHT And yet Scarmiglione still does not answer.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002340_BLACKKNIGHT Were he alive, he would have returned by now.
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002350_BLACKKNIGHT Weakest though he was, his ability to regenerate was without peer.

259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002400_WINDMONOLITH (-Barbariccia-)I, Barbariccia, shall strike down any who pose a threat to our plans.
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002410_BLACKKNIGHT 'Tis true you are a proven commander, well suited to leading an assault.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002420_WINDMONOLITH (-Barbariccia-)And when I have succeeded, I would beg a boon of you.
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002430_BLACKKNIGHT What do you desire?

274 270 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002550_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Perhaps you should go and find them. But be warned─whatever this is about, do not expect us to get involved.
275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002560_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT I can't bear it... Eating and being eaten... I only want to be left in peace...

280 276 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002610_WINDMONOLITH Excellent. You've saved me the trouble of traveling to Troia.
281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002620_ESTINIEN So you're Barbariccia.
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002630_WINDMONOLITH Mind you manners, mortal! My name is not to be spoken save in reverence and fear.
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002640_WINDMONOLITH And what is this pitiful domain?

285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002660_WINDMONOLITH Alas, poor Scarmiglione, and good riddance. Felled by outsiders in pursuit of what, pray tell?
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002670_VARSHAHNBIG A dragon─one who crossed to this world thousands of years ago. Know you aught of it?
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002680_WINDMONOLITH A dragon, you say?
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002690_WINDMONOLITH Hahaha... Ahahahaha!
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002700_WINDMONOLITH My Lord Golbez is more clever than I realized. To let the prize live that it might lure more prey to us.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002710_WINDMONOLITH Very well. In gratitude and service, I shall devour every last mote of their souls.
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002720_VARSHAHNBIG Where is she? Where is Azdaja!?
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002730_WINDMONOLITH Heh, you even share its scent. How curious...and irresistible!

294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002750_ESTINIEN If you think us easy prey, you're wrong.
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002760_WINDMONOLITH Unlike Scarmilgione, I need not skulk in shadow to claim what is mine.
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002770_WINDMONOLITH If you would know about the dragon you seek, then enter into my domain.
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002780_WINDMONOLITH You may flee instead if you wish─if the fate of the sorry lot here is of no concern to you. One way or another, I will have satisfaction.
298 294 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002790_ESTINIEN What's the plan, then?
299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE Go after Barbariccia─what else?
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE If we go, we'd be playing into her hands.
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002800_VARSHAHNBIG Indeed. Yet she will have the upper hand in her domain. We must be no less than fully prepared.
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002810_ESTINIEN Aye, that we would. Even so, we don't have any intention of turning tail now, do we?
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002820_ESTINIEN We find her and get our answers. Will you be joining us, Zero?
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002830_MYSTERIOUSPERSON You may be easily goaded into accepting her challenge, but my curiosity is not so insatiable as to cloud my judgment.
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002840_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Nevertheless, if you are desperate for my aid...you know my price.
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002850_VARSHAHNBIG I shall pay it.
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002860_VARSHAHNBIG So long as you leave me strength enough to see my sister home, you may take as much as you wish.
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002870_VARSHAHNBIG And lest you forget, mine is no ordinary aether. Barbaricia too recognized its potency.
310 306 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002880_MYSTERIOUSPERSON ...Very well. We have a bargain.
311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002890_ESTINIEN You're not the only ones who can ride the wind!

317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002950_WINDMONOLITH There's still time... With more of the dragon's aether, I can yet...
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002960_MYSTERIOUSPERSON You're finished.

320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002980_WINDMONOLITH Damn it aaaaaall!
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002990_YSHTOLA I see you've bested Barbariccia. Well done.
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003000_ESTINIEN Her minions, too, are all crystallized or scattered. The day is ours.
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003010_VARSHAHNBIG What of my sister? Tell me you learned something about Azdaja!
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003020_VARSHAHNBIG So the archfiend and her crystal yielded naught...
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003030_ESTINIEN Our efforts have not been entirely fruitless.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003040_ESTINIEN We have deprived your sister's captor of another powerful champion. With Zero, we may yet challenge Golbez and his minions.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003050_VARSHAHNBIG Indeed, we could not have come this far without your aid. Thank you, Zero.
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003060_MYSTERIOUSPERSON I but fulfilled my part of the bargain. And now I will have my...my...

330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003080_YSHTOLA Her aether is nearly spent. Perhaps unsurprising given how much power she used.
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003090_ESTINIEN I wouldn't want to face another archfiend without her. We should hurry back to Zero's domain.
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003100_VARSHAHNBIG Agreed. Eager though I am to continue, 'twould be unwise to risk our lives for the sake of haste.
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003110_VARSHAHNBIG Let us suspend the mission and tend to Zero.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003120_NAHBDEEN Ahhh, you're all safe! Thank the Sisters!
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003130_VARSHAHNBIG A moment while I close the gate.
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003140_VARSHAHNBIG ...There. We may rest easy for now.
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003150_VARSHAHNBIG Was there any trouble? I expect some voidsent slipped through...
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003160_NAHBDEEN A few did, aye, but we were ready and dealt with them without incident.
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003170_VARSHAHNBIG That is well. I cannot thank you enough for your vigilance.
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003180_NAHBDEEN Yes, yes, you're grateful. But aren't you forgetting something more important?
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003190_NAHBDEEN You know...the polite-but-warm formalities one delights in hearing when their little brother returns from a long journey.
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003200_VARSHAHNBIG Indeed, you are right.
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003205_VARSHAHNBIG Ahem. It is good to be home again, among those whom I love dearly and missed so much.
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003210_NAHBDEEN And we are glad to receive you, Varshahn! Welcome home!
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003220_VARSHAHNBIG Chambers have been prepared for your use at Meghaduta. Let us take Zero there at once.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003230_VARSHAHNBIG Our mission took many an unexpected turn. I am relieved that we have all returned safely.
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003240_VARSHAHNBIG But before you all enjoy the rest you have earned a dozen times over, I would consult you on one last matter.
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003250_ESTINIEN Zero.
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003260_VARSHAHNBIG While she appears none the worse for wear, she remains locked in slumber, and I cannot help but worry.
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003270_VARSHAHNBIG Is there aught we can do to expedite her recovery? If her aether is exhausted, perhaps I can share some of mine now...
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003280_YSHTOLA In the wastelands of the Thirteenth, one can only replenish aether by taking it from others, be it by trade or by force.
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003290_YSHTOLA In contrast, the Source is rich in ambient aether.
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003300_YSHTOLA Simply being here and drawing breath, Zero will absorb what she needs.
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003310_VARSHAHNBIG Then we need but wait?
355 351 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003320_YSHTOLA I believe so.
356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003330_YSHTOLA She will awaken in time, and when she does, give her something to eat. Judging by her form, she should also be able to derive nourishment from food.
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003340_YSHTOLA I know you promised her your aether, but perhaps she might appreciate fine Hannish cuisine more.
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003350_VARSHAHNBIG Food can certainly be arranged.
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003360_ESTINIEN She looks like any other person. Unsurprising, perhaps, given that she is only part voidsent.
360 356 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003370_YSHTOLA Zero said before that Zenos had altered her essence.
361 357 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003380_YSHTOLA A change wrought, I suspect, with the power of Darkness. It acted upon the part of her that is voidsent, rendering it dominant. Thus we were able to reverse it with the power of Light.
362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003390_YSHTOLA I labor to believe that Zenos possessed such arcane knowledge. In all likelihood, it came from Fandaniel.
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003400_YSHTOLA Were Zero wholly voidsent, I doubt the crystal would have had an effect on her.
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003410_YSHTOLA One might say that Hydaelyn had a hand in your meeting.
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003420_VARSHAHNBIG 'Tis no exaggeration to say that Zero has proven herself invaluable─a boon from Hydaelyn Herself.
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003430_VARSHAHNBIG Her cooperation may come at a price, but whatever it is, I am willing to pay it. Exhausting though it may be at times.
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003440_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Light...?
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003450_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Is this...an inn? What happened? How did I get here?
369 365 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003460_MYSTERIOUSPERSON There's no time. I must rejoin the battle. I must...

375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003520_NIDHANA Ack, but this is no time for jokes...
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003530_NIDHANA You're in the Source, my dear─the world next door, so to speak. The others brought you here after you collapsed.
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003540_NIDHANA I'll fetch them at once. Wait just a moment!
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003550_VARSHAHN I took the liberty of arranging refreshments. I hope you find them as flavorful as they are invigorating.
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003560_MYSTERIOUSPERSON This isn't what you promised. But I suppose aether is aether...
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003570_NIDHANA Wait, wait, wait! Don't tell me you don't know how to eat?
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003580_MYSTERIOUSPERSON I took what I needed from it. What's the problem?
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003590_NIDHANA Where's the enjoyment in that? You're supposed to bite, to chew, to savor, and then swallow!
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003600_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Report if displayed.
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003610_NIDHANA That's the way! So...did it taste good?
385 381 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003620_MYSTERIOUSPERSON I...don't know.
386 382 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003630_YSHTOLA The long years without eating may have dulled your sense of taste.
387 383 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003640_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Well, we voidsent have no need for such when consuming others.
388 384 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003650_MYSTERIOUSPERSON There are some who speak of “taste” when describing the quality and affinity of their prey's aether...
389 385 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003660_MYSTERIOUSPERSON But I loathe the act. Taking aether in small amounts like this is one thing, but diluting my essence─diminishing myself? I'd sooner die.
390 386 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003670_MYSTERIOUSPERSON And I have died. Countless times.
391 387 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003680_NIDHANA You have? Um...but what happens when you do?
392 388 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003690_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Not much. After a while, you return, together with all your expended life force.
393 389 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003700_MYSTERIOUSPERSON The important thing is to die where others won't devour you.
394 390 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003710_NIDHANA Amazing! My peers who study immortality and resurrection would be most interested in this phenomenon!
395 391 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003720_VARSHAHN The question of taste aside, I am glad that you are able to partake of food like us. I daresay it agrees with your personal preferences.
396 392 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003730_MYSTERIOUSPERSON That's true. You can keep giving me the same on a regular basis.
397 393 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003740_VARSHAHN Very well. As my guest, I shall see that you do not want for comfort.
398 394 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003750_VARSHAHN And one other thing...
399 395 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003760_VARSHAHN We brought you to our world without your consent, and for that I apologize. If you wish it, we will return you to yours once you have regained your strength.
400 396 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003770_MYSTERIOUSPERSON ...It's fine. I have no reason to go back.
401 397 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003780_MYSTERIOUSPERSON ...Except for yours, perhaps. You intend to cross over again, I take it?
402 398 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003790_VARSHAHN I do. I have yet to find my sister.
403 399 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003800_VARSHAHN I want nothing more than to rush to her aid─to find this Golbez and free her from his clutches, if he still holds her captive.
404 400 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003810_YSHTOLA Though if our recent experience has taught us anything, 'tis that the Thirteenth is more dangerous than we ever imagined. Caution must be our watchword.
405 401 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003820_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Better late than never. In the short time you spent in our world, you left a trail of chaos in your wake.
406 402 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003830_MYSTERIOUSPERSON You managed to return in one piece this time, but don't assume you'll be so lucky the next.
407 403 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003840_VARSHAHN Rest assured we will make no assumptions and spare no preparation.
408 404 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003850_VARSHAHN Speaking of which, while we rest and ready ourselves, I ask that you tell me more about your home.
409 405 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003860_VARSHAHN In return, I will tell you about ours. I will show you my domain, Radz-at-Han.
410 406 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003870_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Again a stranger in this strange land...
411 407 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003880_MYSTERIOUSPERSON I have a condition. You must come too.
412 408 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003890_VARSHAHN You have my thanks.
413 409 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003900_VARSHAHN So, what are your impressions of Radz-at-Han?
414 410 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003910_MYSTERIOUSPERSON There's a lot of mortals.
415 411 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003920_VARSHAHN Considering your origin, I can see why that might be your first observation. Though they would call each other “people,” I think.
416 412 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003930_VARSHAHN If you wish to know about our fair city, I should be glad to place a guide at your disposal.
417 413 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003940_MYSTERIOUSPERSON No need─I'll show myself around. There's only so much about my home I can share with you in return, after all.
418 414 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003950_MYSTERIOUSPERSON While I remember some few tales of the past, I cannot speak to their authenticity.
419 415 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003960_MYSTERIOUSPERSON But if that is enough, then I will tell you of the events that saw Darkness engulf our world─the Contramemoria.
420 416 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003970_VARSHAHN We are all ears. Please.
421 417 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003980_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Long ago, Light filled the world, and all was at peace.
422 418 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003990_MYSTERIOUSPERSON But then the servants of Darkness came, and they bequeathed a black art unto men.
423 419 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004000_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Channeling the power of hope and prayer, one could call forth fearsome beings known as eidolons.
424 420 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004010_YSHTOLA The Ascians. And these eidolons are surely primals.
425 421 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004020_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Then you have faced the same, and understand that when an eidolon is birthed, strife follows. And in such strife, the weak are first to suffer.
426 422 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004030_MYSTERIOUSPERSON When it seemed the world would be plunged into chaos, heroes appeared─they who were blessed with a singular power.
427 423 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004040_MYSTERIOUSPERSON The power to bind the aether of eidolons within crystals known as memoria.
428 424 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004050_MYSTERIOUSPERSON My mother was one such memoriate. But in fighting to save many, she herself was touched by Darkness─as was I.
429 425 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004060_YSHTOLA And so you were born part voidsent. Before the world was overcome?
430 426 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004070_VARSHAHN How exactly did that calamity come to pass? Did the memoriates not triumph?
431 427 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004080_MYSTERIOUSPERSON They did. They expunged the seeds of chaos and restored the peace...only to find themselves seduced by the Darkness they had sealed.
432 428 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004090_MYSTERIOUSPERSON They spread the taint, transforming men into monsters─what you call voidsent─and raised armies to wage new wars.
433 429 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004100_ESTINIEN Not the first to be corrupted by power─nor the last.
434 430 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004110_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Some defied temptation and held fast to the Light, my mother and I among them.
435 431 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004120_MYSTERIOUSPERSON For years and years we fought, but it was not enough. And when our strength was spent, our bulwarks broken, so too was the world.
436 432 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004130_YSHTOLA The Flood of Darkness...
437 433 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004140_MYSTERIOUSPERSON The stars faded from the heavens as a pall black as pitch enveloped creation. Darkness raged unchecked, rending the very walls of reality.
438 434 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004150_MYSTERIOUSPERSON I was cast into the rift, and there trapped for what felt like an eternity.
439 435 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004160_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Until I came upon a crack. Tiny, infinitesimal─but enough for me to squeeze through...
440 436 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004170_MYSTERIOUSPERSON ...And find my world changed beyond recognition. Into the lightless waste you saw.
441 437 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004180_VARSHAHN So that is how you were able to escape becoming a voidsent in full.
442 438 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004190_MYSTERIOUSPERSON I suppose I should consider myself fortunate. Were I like most others, I wouldn't have lasted a day before being devoured.
443 439 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004200_MYSTERIOUSPERSON We the lost are better equipped to survive in a lost world.
444 440 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004210_YSHTOLA A lost world, you say?
445 441 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004220_YSHTOLA I wouldn't be so sure. The Thirteenth is still there, is it not?
446 442 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004230_MYSTERIOUSPERSON What are you getting at?
447 443 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004240_YSHTOLA To explain requires that we initiate you into the truth of the Source and its reflections. Be warned that this will take a while...
448 444 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004250_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Then...unlike the worlds that have been rejoined, mine still...
449 445 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004260_YSHTOLA The Oracle of Light prevented the First from being completely overcome, so the situation may not be completely identical to that of your Thirteenth.
450 446 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004270_YSHTOLA But the fact remains that we were able to restore a measure of balance to a world brought to the brink of destruction.
451 447 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004280_YSHTOLA After which, some intrepid young souls succeeded in restoring life back to lands thought lost to Light.
452 448 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004290_YSHTOLA Which gives me cause to hope the day may yet come when life springs forth anew in the Thirteenth.
453 449 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004300_YSHTOLA Which gives me cause to hope there may be a way to restore Light and life to the Thirteenth.
454 450 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004310_YSHTOLA Of course, these are only possibilities. I offer no guarantees.
455 451 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004320_YSHTOLA But having experienced what we have, I daresay we are more qualified than most to speak on the matter.
456 452 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004330_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Wait, I don't understand. Why would you say these things? As if you mean to...
457 453 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004335_MYSTERIOUSPERSON But the sole reason you came to the void was...
458 454 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004340_ESTINIEN To find a dragon, aye. And in light of what we've seen, we'd be fools to strive for more.
459 455 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004350_ESTINIEN But we Scions─former Scions, begging your pardon─have a habit of not leaving well enough alone.
460 456 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004360_ESTINIEN And old habits die hard, don't they, my friend?
461 457 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004370_VARSHAHN Restoring the Light would serve our efforts to find and free Azdaja. There is no reason not to try.
462 458 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004380_MYSTERIOUSPERSON ...Do as you will. I have no desire to save that world.
463 459 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004390_VARSHAHN Be that as it may, we will have need of your power when next we face voidsent.
464 460 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004400_MYSTERIOUSPERSON Report if displayed.
465 461 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004410_MYSTERIOUSPERSON You know how it works. If you want my help, you must pay my price.
466 462 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004420_MYSTERIOUSPERSON And now that you've drawn Golbez's attention, it's going to cost you more. A lot more.
467 463 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004430_MYSTERIOUSPERSON I will consider this a deposit.
468 464 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004435_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE Meanwhile, elsewhere...
469 465 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004440_BLACKKNIGHT First Scarmiglione, and now Barbariccia... Useless, the both of them.
470 466 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004450_FIREMONOLITH (-Throne of Fire-)'Twas no lie─they conspire with a memoriate.
471 467 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004460_BLACKKNIGHT And their search for the dragon will lead them here.
472 468 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004470_BLACKKNIGHT The war looms nigh. We cannot allow these interlopers to interfere.
473 469 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004480_FIREMONOLITH (-Throne of Fire-)If I may, my lord, I have a plan to eliminate them.
474 470 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004490_FIREMONOLITH (-Throne of Fire-)In order to guarantee its success, however, I will require Cagnazzo's cooperation.
475 471 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004500_WATERMONOLITH (-Cagnazzo-)If there's sport to be had, then I'll play along. As much as I dislike following your lead, I have no patience for scheming.
476 472 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004510_BLACKKNIGHT Well and good to have confidence, but do not forget the cost of failure.
477 473 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004520_FIREMONOLITH (-Throne of Fire-)Rest assured I will see the dream to fruition. Even should I be consumed by my own flames, I will pave the way for one and all.
478 474 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004530_BLACKKNIGHT Then I will trust in your oath and your plan.
479 475 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004540_FIREMONOLITH (-Throne of Fire-)We will give you cause to rejoice, my lord. This I vow.
480 476 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004550_WATERMONOLITH (-Cagnazzo-)Heh heh, some excitement for a change!
481 477 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004560_BLACKKNIGHT No sacrifice is too great. Even should my four archfiends be lost, I will not halt my steps.
482 478 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004580_BLACKKNIGHT The prison of passivity is an obstacle to my cause. And so you must fall.
483 479 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004590_BLACKKNIGHT What irony that the blessed damned should set us free!
484 480 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004570_BLACKKNIGHT As I swore so long ago.
485 481 TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_004600_BLACKKNIGHT The gate lies open. At long last, my ambition shall be fulfilled!
