| 4 | 0 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000010_VARSHAHNBIG | (-???-)My apologies for keeping you waiting. |
| 5 | 1 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000020_ESTINIEN | Vrtra, I presume. |
| 6 | 2 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000030_VARSHAHNBIG | Indeed. This vessel now serves as a host for my eye. |
| 7 | 3 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000040_VARSHAHNBIG | I was aware that the alchemists were busy preparing something, but this... |
| 8 | 4 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000050_NIDHANA | We couldn't well send you on such a perilous mission unprepared, Your Excellency. |
| 9 | 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. |
| 10 | 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... |
| 11 | 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. |
| 12 | 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. |
| 13 | 9 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000100_VARSHAHNBIG | And in opening the voidgate, there is ever risk that voidsent will find their way into our world... |
| 14 | 10 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000110_NAHBDEEN | Rest assured we are more than prepared. |
| 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. |
| 16 | 12 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000130_NAHBDEEN | So think only of your mission, Varshahn. |
| 17 | 13 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000140_NAHBDEEN | Ah, but seeing as this is a different body, perhaps we should use a different name? |
| 18 | 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. |
| 19 | 15 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000160_NAHBDEEN | As you say, as you say. Go then, Varshahn, and best of luck! |
| 20 | 16 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000170_YSHTOLA | I have something for you as well. |
| 21 | 17 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000180_YSHTOLA | While you were gone, Urianger paid us a visit. |
| 22 | 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. |
| 23 | 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. |
| 24 | 20 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000210_YSHTOLA | As a token of their gratitude, Livingway entrusted a familiar relic to Urianger... |
| 25 | 21 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000220_YSHTOLA | Aye, the crystal which showed the way to Meteion. |
| 26 | 22 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000230_YSHTOLA | The Loporrits no longer have need of it, and thus saw fit to return it to us. |
| 27 | 23 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000240_YSHTOLA | Harboring the power of Light, it could well aid us in our mission in the void. |
| 28 | 24 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000250_YSHTOLA | And who better to bear Hydaelyn's gift than Her chosen champion? |
| 29 | 25 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000260_VARSHAHNBIG | If there is nothing left to discuss, then let us depart. Our boat awaits us in Akyaali. |
| 30 | 26 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000270_VARSHAHNBIG | I shall now lift the seal. |
| 31 | 27 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000280_VARSHAHNBIG | In the name of Alzadaal III... I cast open this door unto the void! |
| 32 | 28 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000290_YSHTOLA | Go! Absorb the voidgate! |
| 33 | 29 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000300_YSHTOLA | It worked. We should have no trouble passing through a gate of that size. |
| 34 | 30 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000310_ESTINIEN | What can we expect to find after stepping through? |
| 35 | 31 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000320_VARSHAHNBIG | On my previous foray, I emerged in a castle swarming with voidsent. |
| 36 | 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. |
| 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! |
| 44 | 40 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_000410_EARTHMONOLITH | Sssuch pleasure I will take in delivering you unto your graves! |
| 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? |
| 63 | 59 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 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. |
| 147 | 143 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001310_EARTHMONOLITH | (-???-)Hissssss... |
| 148 | 144 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001315_EARTHMONOLITH | (-???-)You're mine! |
| 149 | 145 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001320_MYSTERIOUSPERSON | Report if displayed. |
| 150 | 146 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_001330_EARTHMONOLITH | Ahhh, that I should miss my mark... |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. Barbariccia 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! |
| 312 | 308 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002900_MYSTERIOUSPERSON | Report if displayed. |
| 313 | 309 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002910_VARSHAHNBIG | Leave these ones to us! |
| 314 | 310 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002920_YSHTOLA | Aye! See to Barbariccia! |
| 315 | 311 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002930_WINDMONOLITH | Come! Give yourselves to my scouring winds that I may feast upon your essence! |
| 316 | 312 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002940_WINDMONOLITH | No... I will not be denied... |
| 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. |
| 319 | 315 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_002970_WINDMONOLITH | Report if displayed. |
| 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... |
| 329 | 325 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003070_MYSTERIOUSPERSON | Report if displayed. |
| 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... |
| 370 | 366 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003470_NIDHANA | You're awake! Wonderful! |
| 371 | 367 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003480_MYSTERIOUSPERSON | Report if displayed. |
| 372 | 368 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003490_NIDHANA | Report if displayed. |
| 373 | 369 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003500_MYSTERIOUSPERSON | What is this!? Some sort of fiend!? |
| 374 | 370 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_06200_003510_NIDHANA | A fiend!? Where is it!? Where!? |
| 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! |
