| | |
| Urianger:
| |
| * Soul without body... A form of being with which we are not wholly unfamiliar.
| |
| * Indeed, for we existed in a similar state when residing in the First.
| |
| * The circumstances are rather more dire than that, 'tis true, but I choose to believe he is not forever lost to us.
| |
| * Regardless...in sacrifice he hath afforded us a chance to prevail. Let us not squander it, and ascertain the nature of this realm that we might confront and defeat Meteion.
| |
| * Estinien. Player. Would you accompany me in speaking with these dragons? Mayhap they can enlighten us.
| |
| * I would ask the rest of you to survey these surrounds. If there is a path that may lead us to our quarry, we must find it.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * Very well. We can reconvene here when everyone has finished.
| |
| * Meteion said these dragons are shadow and shade, from a world whose denizens sought oblivion.
| |
| * As such, they're not like to be amenable to company, let alone conversation. So please, be careful.
| |
| | |
| Urianger:
| |
| * Let us split up and gather what knowledge we may.
| |
| | |
| Seih Loskh:
| |
| * A visitor. Not of this star...
| |
| * Could thy slender hands bring plague to our world... Thy breath extinguish life's feeble flame... Oh, how we would adore thee. Alas...
| |
| * With time our flesh shall wither, our souls fade. And so we wait for its inexorable march unto oblivion.
| |
| * If thou art not come to hasten our demise, I bid thee leave us. We crave not companionship. Only silence.
| |
| | |
| Kohm Noskh:
| |
| * Beyond that distant veil... Paradise lost. So glorious. So beautiful...
| |
| * We were a proud and noble race. Strength embodied. We knew only love. Before they came...
| |
| * Metal monstrosities of black and silver. No bonds of blood did they share, nor conviction did they have to guide them.
| |
| * A crushing defeat. Never had we known such shame... Stilled now are the winds, though none could fill these wings burdened by ignominy. We fly no more, only sink into oblivion...
| |
| | |
| Whei Fehsk:
| |
| * Thou wouldst bid me speak? Hmph. Folly.
| |
| * I observe the lesson of stone. I shall not fly, nor speak, nor roar. Only watch, and wait, and end.
| |
| * But one sight yet stirreth my blood, tempteth me to raise my voice in lamentation: Ahm Nohl, the cradle of unsung dragons.
| |
| * No words, no songs are possessed of the weight to describe such tragedy... Go, if that be thy will. I shall remain.
| |
| | |
| Estinien:
| |
| * They led you here as well, did they? It was described to me as the source of their woes and proof of their end. I think I'm beginning to see why.
| |
| * It's a hatching ground. Or, was... I've seen similar on Etheirys.
| |
| * Midgardsormr's kind must once have lived and thrived in a place such as this.
| |
| * Vrtra said his father was driven from their ancestral home by war and strife. This, then, is the fate of those who remained.
| |
| * Let's have a look around. Maybe these eggs have more to tell of what happened here.
| |
| * What's this? I thought all the eggs had been ruined.
| |
| * If the dragonet was indeed hatched, there is no sign of it here─or its sire, for that matter.
| |
| * We should look for them. You start with the clifftops, and I'll search the plains.
| |
| | |
| Bereaved Dragon:
| |
| * The boisterous howling hath been quieted... By thy hand, I presume.
| |
| | |
| Estinien:
| |
| * Everything all right? I thought I heard a dragon, or something resembling one.
| |
| * Ah. I see what's happened here... Was that your child?
| |
| | |
| Bereaved Dragon:
| |
| * Perhaps. Some eggs within Ahm Nohl are indeed mine. If life within one did quicken, the beast thou hast slain may be of my blood.
| |
| * Yet I do not recognize it, twisted and malformed as it is.
| |
| * Not a dragon in truth, but a reminder of our failure. A testament to our shame.
| |
| | |
| Estinien:
| |
| * Explain.
| |
| | |
| Bereaved Dragon:
| |
| * They descended from the heavens. Cold, heartless machines. And with them rode war and death.
| |
| * With fire and fury, rage and rancor, we gave answer. 'Twas a long and bloody battle, but only the beginning...
| |
| * Untold chaos and destruction swept over the star. In the end, the invaders were victorious.
| |
| * Yet when they looked upon their prize, they deemed it unfit for requisition. We were abandoned to our ruin.
| |
| * The survivors sought to put away their shame. To rebuild. A futile effort.
| |
| * In purest soil replete with aether did we once cultivate our nesting grounds. But our lands were barren, and any eggs nurtured in such desolation were fated to rot.
| |
| * What few survive to hatch emerge as...abominations. We shall have no new progeny.
| |
| | |
| Estinien:
| |
| * But there are dragons among you capable of journeying to other stars.
| |
| | |
| Bereaved Dragon:
| |
| * That there are. Many would make the attempt, each bearing a clutch of eggs.
| |
| * The richest stars were home to the harshest rulers, and the arrival of dragons incited contests for supremacy.
| |
| * When the fires faded, the wars lost and won, they too were reduced to ash and waste.
| |
| Bereaved Dragon: 'Tis the curse of those who seek life─to be drawn into conflict, to conquer or be conquered.
| |
| * A vicious cycle we now choose to break. We tire of conflict. Of everything...
| |
| * We wait now in sweet, merciful silence. Free from strife and suffering. Still as stone...
| |
| | |
| Estinien:
| |
| * Wait! You claim your kind is doomed, but there is another star─
| |
| | |
| Bereaved Dragon:
| |
| * ......
