Thancred: Leave her be. Nothing you can say will console her now...
Yda: ...It's over, Papalymo. It's all over...
Alphinaud: Let us return to the Rising Stones. We must gather our companions...
Tataru: Why does everyone look so grim? Has something happened? Say something, for heavens' sake!
Speaking with Alisaie at the Rising Stones
Alisaie: ...'Twould seem you bring ill tidings, Brother.
Alphinaud: ...Aye. Behind the Griffin's mask, we found the grinning face of an old adversary... Ilberd. I know not how, but he had in his possession the eyes of Nidhogg, whose dread power he used to initiate a summoning ritual, even as we looked on...
