AchillesEndingGreeting.VoiceLines Achilles (Achilles_0011): Princess. Achilles (Achilles_0012): Hail. AchillesTrueEnding01 Achilles (Achilles_0003): Heading out? Olympus doesn't like to be kept waiting, I know. We'll remember you here, lass! Somehow it still feels as if we've only met. What an unusual time... Melinoe (MelinoeField_5216): That it is, Achilles sir. I have these glimpses now of cherished moments I might have spent with you and the other Houseservants, had the past but gone differently. Are the others doing well? Achilles (Achilles_0004): They seem to be. Your relatives recovered the most swiftly, but I think we're all still feeling some effects... and catching up on everything we missed, and aiding where we can. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5231): I'll miss you all. This really does feel like a dream, at times! I fear I may forget it, as one tends to do with dreams. Achilles (Achilles_0005): {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}I trust you'll still remember what I always told you about fear. Please don't worry... I know we may not see you for a while, but I shall await whenever we may meet again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5164): As shall I. AphroditeAboutApollo01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0057): Bright Apollo's been in touch already, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}How quick to lend fair goddesses a hand. Though, nowhere to be found back when your brother needed aid! AphroditeAboutApples01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0078): My, isn't that the glimmer of a Golden Apple on you, love? I knew you had good taste. Their uses are more plentiful than you can imagine! Brew the most delicious Nectar, distract beautiful rivals, initiate great wars, you name it! AphroditeAboutArachne01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0086): You dwell in Erebus, don't you, sweetness? Last I had heard, the silk-weaver Arachne dwells down there. Such fineries she made, but never showed her face up here again after she and Athena had a little spat! AphroditeAboutArachne02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0224): It's such a shame about Arachne and Athena. My little birdies told me everything. But there's beauty to be found in {#Emph}every {#Prev}form, even that of a delicate little spider! Perhaps she'll come to accept it as I think {#Emph}you {#Prev}have! AphroditeAboutAres01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0085): Among all of Lord Zeus' kin, you've still yet to encounter Ares, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}The god of war has been quite busy, what with everything of late. There are those who question his motives, but not I. I long simply to find out where he is. AphroditeAboutAres02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0193): Lord Ares is finally back! Nothing makes a war official like when {#Emph}he {#Prev}shows up. Things haven't always gone our way when we've fought together, but this time just about {#Emph}everybody's {#Prev}here! AphroditeAboutArtemis01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0043): You've met {#Emph}so {#Prev}many on this mountaintop, yet come to think, I've not seen hide nor hair of late of little Artemis! I'd hate to think the goddess of the hunt's too busy stalking some old woodland beast to join us in our time of need? AphroditeAboutAthena01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0084): You've met many of us now, but not yet proud Athena, I presume? Apparently she's too busy defending our front lines. Take no offense; she's not the goddess of good manners, after all. AphroditeAboutAthena02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0192): You've paid witness to some of Athena's dramatic entrances on the battlefield. I have to say, she isn't bad in that regard! Probably because she's having so much practice with all of our unwelcome visitors! AphroditeAboutBathHouse01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0090): You are as fresh as rain this eve, gorgeous! Paid a recent visit to the springs, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}There's nothing like a good hot bath, {#Emph}especially {#Prev}when in good company. AphroditeAboutBathHouse02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0091): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, you must have visited the springs once more! It's that refreshing glow about you, love. I wonder with whom you've been bathing! I'm sure a little birdie shall inform me soon enough. AphroditeAboutBirdies01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0127): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, I know {#Emph}more {#Prev}and {#Emph}more {#Prev}about you, love. My little birdies tell me {#Emph}everything! {#Prev}They're {#Emph}everywhere{#Prev}, and like nothing better than to keep me well-apprised. {#Emph}They're {#Prev}happy when {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}happy, and I'm happy being in the know! AphroditeAboutBoons01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0123): True love may be eternal, although passions tend to fizzle out. So it is with all the blessings we bestow! As love requires nourishment, so must our faith in you be reinforced, like so! AphroditeAboutChronos01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0036): We goddesses always get swept up in these family affairs through no fault of our own. {#Emph}I {#Prev}had no prior qualm with Chronos, yet here I am now, well at war with him! AphroditeAboutChronos02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0037): Between us? I have been around {#Emph}quite {#Prev}a bit longer than appearances suggest. The so-called {#Emph}Golden Age {#Prev}that Chronos would restore... it was the dullest time, like you would not {#Emph}believe! AphroditeAboutChronosBossW01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0203): So besides whatever innate satisfaction there may be in beating up that nasty old Titan, is there a grander plan in all of this for what we're going to do? Your little godling brother, is he going to be all right...? AphroditeAboutDemeter01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0064): I'm so relieved you and your frosty grandmother have had an opportunity to meet! If nothing else, perhaps now Demeter shall tone it back a smidgen with the rest of us? AphroditeAboutDionysus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0089): One thing's for certain, there's been {#Emph}far {#Prev}too little feasting on Olympus as of late! Poor Dionysus hasn't been himself. Normally he'd be among the first to welcome you! AphroditeAboutEosAspect01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0174): Now what is that fabulous set of {#Emph}flames {#Prev}you're wielding there? It's as though they shine with the first light of morning; I'd not have thought they'd fit your style, but you're {#Emph}really {#Prev}pulling it off! AphroditeAboutEris01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0132): A little birdie said that {#Emph}awful Eris {#Prev}has been fluttering about, getting her nose in everybody's business, instead of minding her own! We stopped inviting her to {#Emph}any {#Prev}of our feasts up here even before all this! AphroditeAboutEris02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0220): You {#Emph}like {#Prev}having Strife in your life, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}The more you fought with Eris, the more I could tell {#Emph}something {#Prev}was going on, and sure enough! She didn't seem your type at all, but that's {#Emph}exactly {#Prev}how it goes! AphroditeAboutEros01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0217): {#Emph}Mm{#Prev}, you have the Breath of Eros on you, if my senses don't deceive! Isn't it a beautiful thought, knowing Love is one of the most {#Emph}ancient {#Prev}forces in this entire world? Life would be {#Emph}nothing {#Prev}without it! AphroditeAboutFamiliars01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0096): My, is that some sort of adorable little animal you have with you, gorgeous? Your worshipers come in all shapes and sizes, then! I mostly stick to bewitching gods and mortals, myself. AphroditeAboutFamily01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0035): This family's not so good at letting go, is it? After aeons of prosperity, all that we've built together threatens to come crashing down, all because of a {#Emph}little {#Prev}bad blood! {#Emph}Hmph! AphroditeAboutFates01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0075): A little birdie told me something's happened to the Fates... they're not around to complicate our lives? No wonder my days have become so {#Emph}predictable! {#Prev}Though if Chronos truly is behind this, then perhaps we ought to be concerned... AphroditeAboutHades01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0040): You have your father's fierceness, don't you, love? Not that I ever knew him all too well! Or heard too many tales about him, come to think... he was never the communicative type. AphroditeAboutHecate01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0041): So {#Emph}you're {#Prev}the star student of great Hecate! A little birdie told me she'd been training up a real prodigy. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be the missing Princess of the Underworld! How positively {#Emph}scandalous! AphroditeAboutHephaestus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0060): Already met with my strong-armed Hephaestus, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}The sordid things said of the two of us, they roll right off his back! Would that {#Emph}my {#Prev}skin were half as thick as {#Emph}his{#Prev}... AphroditeAboutHephaestus02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0061): I've heard many a hero claim the next best thing to arms forged by Hephaestus is his blessing! Though I think they'd all rather have mine. AphroditeAboutHephaestusRelationship01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0076): You've met Hephaestus, heard the tales, no doubt. Well, he has a beautiful heart. Surely not just I can see that? Of all my many suitors, he alone has been content to let me be. AphroditeAboutHera01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0062): You've been acquainted with Queen Hera, I can see! She and I work together frequently and have an understanding that we share. Fair goddesses must stick together, after all. AphroditeAboutHeracles01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0133): So, lumbering old Heracles is storming around down there, massing bodies of the dead in the name of the gods, is he? That one's as moody as a bull, and probably reeks even more. At least we have {#Emph}good {#Prev}help to lean upon! AphroditeAboutHermes01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0065): More oft than not of late, swift Hermes has been nowhere to be found. Not here, at least, but... perhaps somewhere down in {#Emph}your {#Prev}realm, {#Emph}hm? AphroditeAboutHestia01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0063): So fiery old Hestia has taken to you, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}You should be very proud, for typically she can't be bothered. And she cannot be impressed. AphroditeAboutIcarus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0221): That dashing young Shade with the fancy wings, is Icarus his name? I almost mistook him for one of my little birdies! He didn't get much chance at love while he drew breath, but it's never too late...! AphroditeAboutIcarus02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0222): I am {#Emph}so {#Prev}pleased by what you've done for Icarus! {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, he's been practically over the {#Emph}moon{#Prev}, and who can blame him? He got to truly {#Emph}feel... {#Prev}most mortals aren't so fortunate, let alone most {#Emph}Shades! AphroditeAboutKeepsake01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0130): Oh, you bear my Beautiful Mirror! You'll always look gorgeous in it, but its real power is to help me quickly seek you out. And bestow on you the very best I can! AphroditeAboutLove01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0046): Have you somebody {#Emph}special {#Prev}in your life? The star pupil of the Witch of the Crossroads must be {#Emph}so {#Prev}terribly busy, why, perhaps the answer is no. So far ahead in some respects, so far behind in others... AphroditeAboutLove02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0047): Trust me, if you're uncertain that you've ever been in love, you haven't been. It's like a thrill that washes over you, then lingers pleasantly, long afterward. May you find it again and again! AphroditeAboutLove03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0122): You fight with the ferocity of one whose love is on the line! Yet that is not what's driving you, is it. No, you've found a wellspring of motivation in something else! What could it {#Emph}be? AphroditeAboutLove04 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0201): I can see why you became the star pupil of the Witch of the Crossroads, sweetness... because you've learned much of love in a short time, and with only a {#Emph}bit {#Prev}of guidance! Your heart is certainly in the right place. AphroditeAboutMelinoe01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0039): You've been {#Emph}so {#Prev}sheltered there, sweetness! Why, mortals, they don't even know your {#Emph}name! {#Prev}Not one temple erected in your {#Emph}honor! {#Prev}Not {#Emph}yet{#Prev}, at least, so you just stick with me! AphroditeAboutMoros01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0042): A little birdie told me {#Emph}Doom himself {#Prev}showed up where you reside...? While that bodes ill for you, and perhaps for us all... at least he's quite the looker, isn't he? AphroditeAboutMoros02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0223): I must say, you and Doom have been extraordinarily discreet in whatever you have going on. My little birdies have seen {#Emph}barely {#Prev}a trace of it! But I still have a feeling about you two, and my feelings are {#Emph}never {#Prev}wrong. AphroditeAboutNarcissus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0125): A little birdie told me you have met none other than the beautiful Narcissus, haven't you? You must think he's a shining example of all I stand for... well, he's not! Because the greatest love is {#Emph}shared{#Prev}, not hoarded for oneself. AphroditeAboutNarcissus02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0126): I hope for your sake you avoid that no-good Narcissus. His suitors {#Emph}begged {#Prev}me to do something about his love of his own reflection, but who am I to break up such a harmonious relationship? As far as I'm concerned, he finally met his match! AphroditeAboutNectar01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0079): You know, I mentioned Golden Apples could be turned to Nectar, though not {#Emph}how! {#Prev}I'll have to send the recipe along. All it takes is a boiling pot, some aromatic spices to your taste, and just the right words. You'll get it, you're a witch! AphroditeAboutNectar02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0097): So did you try my Nectar recipe, sweetness? I'm certain it'll win over just about anybody in {#Emph}your {#Prev}capable hands. No need to let me know how it goes, I have my ways of finding out! AphroditeAboutNemesis01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0218): You've quite a partner in Nemesis, gorgeous! She's big, she's brash, she's everything you're not! I'm relieved you're standing by each other rather than at each other's throats! AphroditeAboutNemesis02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0219): I'm so pleased you and Nemesis settled your differences! {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}no one told me, gorgeous, this is all knowledge I obtain as part of being who I am! And as long as you each be yourselves, I think you'll even out. AphroditeAboutOceanus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0074): Oh, gorgeous, I can barely see you anymore! And what a shame that is for {#Emph}me{#Prev}. Although, where are you, anyway? Caught somewhere underneath the sea itself?! Your father's realm is very vast indeed. AphroditeAboutOlympus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0080): I'd urge you visit us, though since we're under siege and all, perhaps it isn't worth the trip. Olympus sure takes on a different feel when you're {#Emph}stuck{#Prev}. We've cut back on the feasting and the frolicking a lot. Oh, how I miss those days... AphroditeAboutOlympus02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0081): How wonderful, you've seen our mountain now firsthand! Though what a mortifying time to receive guests; we've been preoccupied receiving enemies! AphroditeAboutOlympus03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0082): Someday I'm certain you'll discover that Olympus is a truly splendid place. All the pleasures that this world can offer abound! And, as I live and breathe, it's not as cold as it's made out to be. AphroditeAboutOutfits01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0175): What is it you have {#Emph}on{#Prev}, gorgeous? Some lovely silken garb, made by Arachne lest my eyes deceive! You and the little spider must have {#Emph}really {#Prev}hit it off! AphroditeAboutPackageBounty01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0226): Sailing can be so romantic, but the mood tonight is {#Emph}definitely {#Prev}off... how did you even {#Emph}get {#Prev}so far so {#Emph}soon? {#Prev}Well even if we're not feeling our best, we can still {#Emph}look {#Prev}our best! AphroditeAboutPassions01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0034): Would that we all could chase our passions without consequence! But we gods, sometimes we get a bit ahead of ourselves, and wind up in the most compromising positions... AphroditeAboutPersephone01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0131): You know, gorgeous, you're fortunate you got your mother's best! Of course your {#Emph}father {#Prev}always had a certain something, too. Why come to think of it, you're living proof of that! AphroditeAboutPoseidon01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0059): I heard Poseidon boasting he'd already blessed you with his might. Now, just in case one could still be left wanting even after all {#Emph}that{#Prev}, here. AphroditeAboutPrometheus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0194): Though I admit to having some {#Emph}small {#Prev}weakness for the tall, dark, and brooding types, Prometheus has been getting on my {#Emph}nerves. {#Prev}He's defacing our beautiful {#Emph}mountain! {#Prev}Who is he trying to impress? AphroditeAboutPrometheus02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0195): If Prometheus isn't more careful, he might burn right up from all his {#Emph}smoldering! {#Prev}He keeps saying how he doesn't {#Emph}care {#Prev}for any of us goddesses or gods, but {#Emph}I {#Prev}think he's just playing hard-to-get! AphroditeAboutPrometheus03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0232): How nice for Prometheus that he gets to keep venting his anger out on all of us like it's {#Emph}officially {#Prev}his job. How come he thinks we're all so mean to mortals anyhow? I break some hearts, it's true, but fill so many more! AphroditeAboutRelationship01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0234): So many suitors from whom to choose, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}Well just remember that you needn't choose at all, unless you so desire as do they. Your heart, your relationships. Make of them what you will! AphroditeAboutSayingLittle01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0235): The language of love transcends boundaries... we needn't even exchange words to understand each other's feelings and desires. How about we try it for a while, {#Emph}hm? AphroditeAboutSelene01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0056): By the Moon, you're {#Emph}breathtaking {#Prev}this eve! The Moon herself {#Emph}did {#Prev}have something to do with it, did she not? I can tell. Your secret's safe with me! AphroditeAboutSirens01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0121): A little birdie told me you faced the Sirens at the bottom of the sea? I know them and their entrancing song only too well. They must have grown bored of dooming sailors to the deep! AphroditeAboutSirens02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0230): Those Sirens down where {#Emph}you {#Prev}are sure have been singing their hearts out! Perhaps they've found another wellspring of inspiration besides all the sailors they like so much. AphroditeAboutSurface01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0071): Look at you, beneath the shining moonlight! {#Emph}Welcome{#Prev}, gorgeous, to the lovely surface of our world! Please, stay as long as you like! Or as long as you can. Of late, it's been a little rough... AphroditeAboutSurface02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0072): Are you quite certain that it's best to be up here? I heard your kind... that is to say, those of the Underworld, that you're not fit to linger on the surface for too long. Please, {#Emph}don't {#Prev}overextend on our behalf! AphroditeAboutSurface03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0073): Sweetness, why, you seem entirely {#Emph}yourself! {#Prev}Upon the surface here, that is! I thought you couldn't tolerate this place, yet here you are, strutting across the war-torn land as though it's yours by right! AphroditeAboutSurface04 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0083): Shame that the cursed city of Ephyra is your first exposure to the splendors of the surface, love. It stood in tribute to your mother and your father, until Chronos had his way! I still grow angry when I think on it. AphroditeAboutSurfaceThreat01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0077): What shall become of our fair mountain, love? Just recently we felt such tremors as I'd not experienced before. At first I thought it was Poseidon shaking up the earth again, but one look at {#Emph}him{#Prev}, and I knew it wasn't so... AphroditeAboutThessaly01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0135): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, you've reached the rift that {#Emph}thoughtful {#Prev}Lord Poseidon slashed across our pretty countryside... enabling our foes to mass against us even {#Emph}faster {#Prev}than they could on foot! Just, hurry over, {#Emph}hm? AphroditeAboutTyphon01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0196): What are we ever going to do about our poor summit? That ugly Typhon made it all the way up here, and he's been ruining {#Emph}everything. {#Prev}Well we are {#Emph}not {#Prev}going to let him walk all over us. AphroditeAboutTyphon02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0197): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, that ugly Typhon! Not only is he getting all the attention lately, he's resisted all my {#Emph}charms. {#Prev}That {#Emph}never {#Prev}happens! But all he wants is this mountain, and not in a loving way. AphroditeAboutTyphonDeath01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0200): You really did it, gorgeous! That ugly monster's finally gone! I never could tell if he even {#Emph}had {#Prev}a heart, as there was not a trace of love in him at all, only the worst intentions and desires. So much for {#Emph}those! AphroditeAboutTyphonW01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0199): You saw our beautiful Palace grounds again! I'm sorry I missed you but no ugly monsters are ever getting in there if {#Emph}I {#Prev}can help it. Although they {#Emph}have {#Prev}been getting pretty close. They {#Emph}just {#Prev}won't take the hint! AphroditeAboutUnderworld01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0124): It can't be pleasant, crawling through the Underworld's underbelly night after night. But, there's beauty to be found in all things! Well, {#Emph}most {#Prev}things. Down where you are, no guarantees. AphroditeAboutWar01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0128): I must say, wars are not without their moments of excitement! It's been too long since I took to the field, bedazzling my foes in all my glory as I ran them through, filling their final moments with beauty and {#Emph}agony! {#Prev}Although, wars also really make a mess of things... AphroditeAboutZagreus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0044): Your brother, he was always such a sweetheart, love! Then out of the blue one day, he stopped accepting all my messages! Had I done something to offend? Imagine my relief when I much later learned that Chronos was to blame! AphroditeAboutZagreus02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0045): I wonder what exactly Chronos did to cut your brother off, and all your family. Perhaps he {#Emph}bound them! {#Prev}In any case, don't worry overmuch. They're gods! They're probably all right. AphroditeAboutZagreus03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0208): Your little godling brother, I am hearing he's all right! And back to battling out of that hell he calls home, or at least {#Emph}partially {#Prev}until the Underworld's restored. I hope you get to see him again {#Emph}soon! AphroditeAboutZeus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0058): Lord Zeus already sought you out, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}Family or no, if he's offered you his blessing, he's expecting something in return. He's loath to ask for favors is all. AphroditeBlindBox01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0180): I wanted this to be a surprise, love! Who could possibly ask for a better outcome opening up some plain old bag, only to find {#Emph}me {#Prev}waiting there with outstretched arms? AphroditeBlindBox02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0181): Were you expecting someone far less beautiful, or did you somehow know it was {#Emph}me? {#Prev}Perhaps you could hear my heart beating all the way from where {#Emph}you {#Prev}are! AphroditeChat01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0003): How lovely running into {#Emph}you {#Prev}again, gorgeous! AphroditeChat02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0004): Why, you look positively {#Emph}stunning {#Prev}in all that silver light! AphroditeChat03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0005): Between us goddesses, may you kill {#Emph}everybody {#Prev}standing in your way! AphroditeChat04 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0006): As long as you have love in your heart, you'll probably be fine! AphroditeChat05 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0007): Such a beautiful night for such an ugly job you have to do! AphroditeChat06 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0008): Even in bad times, we can find {#Emph}something {#Prev}to love! AphroditeChat07 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0009): Life would be so very dull if not for our personal problems, {#Emph}hm? AphroditeChat08 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0010): Oh, if only {#Emph}looks {#Prev}could kill, gorgeous! AphroditeChat09 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0011): {#Emph}So {#Prev}good running into you again, sweetness! AphroditeChat10 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0012): I do {#Emph}so {#Prev}love these nightly outings that we share! AphroditeChat11 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0013): So much fighting and bloodshed, all on our family's account! AphroditeChat12 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0014): There must be {#Emph}something {#Prev}I can do to help, isn't there, love? AphroditeChat13 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0015): The more distracted you can make them, the easier they are to kill! AphroditeChat14 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0016): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, how I've longed for your arrival, beautiful! AphroditeChat15 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0017): We're just two lovely goddesses together having a night out! AphroditeChat16 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0018): Try as they might, don't {#Emph}ever {#Prev}let them get to you, sweetness. AphroditeChat17 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0019): I found you once again, gorgeous! Oh, this is {#Emph}always {#Prev}fun! AphroditeChat18 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0020): You're {#Emph}beautiful {#Prev}such as it is. Though, {#Emph}I {#Prev}can still be of some benefit, I'm sure! AphroditeChat19 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0021): Whoever's on {#Emph}your {#Prev}bad side, love, they're on {#Emph}mine {#Prev}as well. AphroditeChat20 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0022): You witches can be {#Emph}such {#Prev}elusive sorts, though I know {#Emph}just {#Prev}where to find you! AphroditeChat21 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0023): At this rate, you'll end up breaking more hearts than {#Emph}me! AphroditeChat22 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0024): {#Emph}Mm{#Prev}, you witches get to have {#Emph}all {#Prev}the fun, don't you? AphroditeChat23 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0025): Please spare a thought for me, cooped up as ever on this mountaintop... AphroditeChat24 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0026): {#Emph}Finally! {#Prev}I was beginning to think you stood me up, gorgeous! AphroditeChat25 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0027): Oh I've been longing for this ever since our last such little date! AphroditeChat26 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0028): Have I got {#Emph}just {#Prev}the thing for you this time, sweetness! AphroditeChat27 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0029): Why {#Emph}hello{#Prev}, beautiful! And may my sweetest blessing be with you. AphroditeChat28 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0030): Wherever you may go, there's always {#Emph}drama {#Prev}waiting for you, isn't there? AphroditeChat29 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0031): May my blessings lift you like sweet nothings whispered in your ear. AphroditeChat30 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0032): I had the strongest urge to see you once again, and here you are, at last! AphroditeChat31 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0033): We're in this together, sweetness, and don't you forget it, {#Emph}hm? AphroditeChat32 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0182): Just remember, our war against ugliness is without end! Now let's fight on! AphroditeChat33 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0183): Anything that's worth doing is worth doing with passion! So come on, perk up! AphroditeChat34 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0184): Time again for another {#Emph}exciting {#Prev}night on the town! Lead the way, gorgeous! AphroditeChat35 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0185): We'll make them all go weak in the knees. And everywhere else, just in case. AphroditeChat36 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0186): So much beauty in this world, and if we don't fight to protect it, who shall? AphroditeChat37 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0187): I love what I do, especially when I get to take matters into my own hands. AphroditeChat38 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0188): Back to the comfort of the Underworld for the night? We'll pretty it up in no time! AphroditeChat39 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0189): You're headed {#Emph}our {#Prev}way again! My heart beats faster at the very thought! AphroditeChat40 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0190): Can this night possibly go even better than the last? Let's go find out! AphroditeFirstPickUp Melinoe (Melinoe_0642): Doubtless this one knows hatred, not just love. {#Emph}In the name of Hades! Olympus, I accept this message! Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0129): Why, {#Emph}hello{#Prev}, gorgeous! {#Emph}You {#Prev}look like you can break some hearts even {#Emph}without {#Prev}my aid! Oh, your brother would be so proud, knowing you're fighting for your kin! AphroditeGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0948): Great Aphrodite! You must get more offerings than all the other gods and goddesses combined. Though, this one comes from me! Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0066): Why, this is {#Emph}wonderful{#Prev}, and also quite impressive you already know our ways! I {#Emph}must {#Prev}return the gesture, so please, take {#Emph}this. {#Prev}I {#Emph}insist! AphroditeGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0949): You make me want to doubt myself less frequently, Lady Aphrodite. You wouldn't mind another offering, would you? Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0067): Your offering is {#Emph}more {#Prev}than welcome, love! And come to think, it's been entirely too long since someone showered me with praise! AphroditeGift03 Melinoe (Melinoe_0950): I know so little still of matters of the heart. There's surely so much I could learn from you, Lady Aphrodite. I'm honored to have met. Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0068): Oh, sweetness, the honor is {#Emph}all {#Prev}mine! For matters of the heart, the key is openness. So you're well on your way towards the understanding you desire! AphroditeGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1766): Your favor means so much to me, Lady Aphrodite. If only I could return it somehow! Even during the most difficult of times, you bring me strength and hope. Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0069): My heart, you're {#Emph}truly {#Prev}something, you know that? You're generous, selective with your words, and {#Emph}gorgeous{#Prev}, too! I don't know whether to be flattered or a little envious! AphroditeGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1767): Glorious Aphrodite! You are truly stunning, yet your courage and confidence inspire me still more. I'm humbled to be in your presence, and to be worthy of your favor. Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0178): I didn't know what to expect from you. A sister-in-arms, at best? And I scarcely know you, save for glimpses from these messages, but despite all that... I've come to think of you as a friend! Someone to talk to. Thank you, love! AphroditeGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1768): I've always thought the world beautiful... it's everywhere around us, even in times of strife. And I know that's because of {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Aphrodite. Thank you for helping me perceive it all. Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0179): From you, this Nectar surely shall be sweeter than the rest! So when the clouds begin to darken overhead, and I feel my hope begin to wane, I'll drink to us. And I shall bounce right back! AphroditeGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4347): Aphrodite, your genuine enthusiasm even in the face of such hardship is so much of what makes you beautiful and inspirational beyond compare. I feel as though Ambrosia such as this symbolizes all the love you have to give. Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0202): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, you're {#Emph}so {#Prev}very kind! Though it never gets old. I'm {#Emph}used {#Prev}to everybody fawning over my {#Emph}looks! {#Prev}But if you can see past that, the {#Emph}inner beauty {#Prev}I possess, then you know {#Emph}far {#Prev}more of love and beauty than {#Emph}most. AphroditeLegendaryPickUp01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0054): Passion strikes at the unlikeliest of times, spurring us past the limits that we know! Pray welcome it as I, and go with all my blessings, from the bottom of my heart! AphroditeLegendaryPickUp02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0055): You know, gorgeous, I like getting my way. And right now I would like for you to cut a bloody little path through every single wretch and traitor that dares get in yours. {#Emph}Please? AphroditeLootBought01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0136): Your Boatman there has such an {#Emph}ugly {#Prev}job, having to smuggle little blessings such as these into the {#Emph}worst {#Prev}of places... but we make it worth his while, don't you worry about that. AphroditeLootBought02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0137): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, to be an urgent bit of battlefield relief delivered courtesy of the feared Boatman himself, {#Emph}hah! {#Prev}Come on, we all have fantasies, gorgeous! AphroditeLootBought03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0138): You have a real understanding with that Boatman, haven't you? He's such a solitary soul. Rugged... tall... powerfully built. {#Emph}Hm! AphroditeLootBought04 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0139): Trusty Charon reached you after all, and just in time to face the gravest threats along your path. So may my blessing bring you victory! AphroditeLowHealth01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0048): Oh no, you poor, poor thing, what happened on your way? There must be something I can do about your pitiable state! AphroditeLowHealth02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0049): {#Emph}Mm{#Prev}, you look as though you've had an altogether miserable night. Been there, gorgeous; I merely hide it well!

AphroditeMakeUp01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0160): Our emotions ran a {#Emph}little {#Prev}hot there, didn't they... I still can feel {#Emph}my {#Prev}heart racing, and if I'm not mistaken, {#Emph}yours {#Prev}might have been, too! AphroditeMakeUp02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0161): Oh, let's make up, what do you say, gorgeous? With everything that has been going on of late, I think we've all been a little bit on edge! AphroditeMakeUp03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0162): You know, I'm reminded one thing that unites us even in the worst of times is that we all have a {#Emph}bit {#Prev}of a temper around here! AphroditeMakeUp04 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0163): It's no secret that I'm prone to fits of passion, and I'd not have it any other way. But you {#Emph}could {#Prev}have it differently next time! AphroditeMakeUp05 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0164): Now I'll admit, that was a fight {#Emph}I {#Prev}started, love. Though, each time our passions run high, I think our relationship only grows richer for it! AphroditeMakeUp06 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0165): {#Emph}Whew! {#Prev}Now, don't we feel better? We mustn't keep our feelings bottled up, even if it means having ourselves the occasional little outburst. AphroditeMakeUp07 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0166): Now let's just simmer down and still the beating of our hearts! I am not angry anymore, though still a bit annoyed... AphroditeMakeUp08 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0167): {#Emph}Hm{#Prev}, well, if there's ever a good reason to forgo my blessing, much less for the sake of my jealous kin, I've yet to hear of it! AphroditePackageBountyIntro01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0225): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, there's something very {#Emph}odd {#Prev}about this night, and {#Emph}certainly {#Prev}that ugly city of {#Emph}Ephyra {#Prev}doesn't help. But between my dear Hephaestus and Lord Ares and myself, I think you'll more than manage to get by. AphroditePostEpilogue01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0209): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, the Three Fates {#Emph}finally {#Prev}decided to make an appearance, just as we were getting used to not having them around. What grand prophecy do they have in store for us now, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}Whatever it is, we'll handle it I'm sure! AphroditePostEpilogue02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0210): If there really is another age that's coming up, then I say bring it on! True love never changes or goes out of style, no matter how much everything else does. Just stick with me and we'll be {#Emph}fine! AphroditePostTrueEnding01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0204): Gorgeous, you won the {#Emph}war {#Prev}for us! At least I think we won? Perhaps we didn't if these ugly Satyrs and the like are not about to leave yet, but you definitely did do {#Emph}something! Oh {#Prev}this is all too {#Emph}much! AphroditePostTrueEnding02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0205): That two-timing Chronos is on our side now? Against nasty versions of his older self, and invisible bits of Typhon we shouldn't fear {#Emph}too {#Prev}much but ought to heed. Not the strangest predicament I've been in, but it's {#Emph}close! AphroditeRejection01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0150): Our world can be such an ugly place! Filled with such terrible misunderstandings as can veil the beauty we so often {#Emph}don't appreciate enough. AphroditeRejection02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0151): Oh, gorgeous. If pride and vanity are truly weaknesses, then I'm about to let myself be very vulnerable with you here... AphroditeRejection03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0152): I truly thought we ladies had a special connection, but then you do such things and make me feel unsure! And just a bit upset. AphroditeRejection04 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0153): I don't offer you my blessings so you can just save them for later like some sort of snack! You want something else, fine! You can {#Emph}have {#Prev}it. AphroditeRejection05 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0154): Try as I might, I just can't help but feel the sting of being spurned. And I don't like it, not a little bit. So now I have to sting you back! AphroditeRejection06 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0155): There may be those who can make peace with being brushed aside, but that's not something {#Emph}I {#Prev}can do, sweetness! No matter how hard I try. AphroditeRejection07 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0156): Oh, don't be such a {#Emph}tease {#Prev}with me! When I bestow my blessings, take them graciously next time. But now...? AphroditeRejection08 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0157): Sometimes I think we shouldn't force you to play favorites, but we shouldn't do a lot of things, I'm sure! Such as get angry with {#Emph}you! AphroditeRejection09 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0158): You'd side with dear Hephaestus over {#Emph}me? {#Prev}There must be some mistake, sweetness! Which means there too must be some sort of {#Emph}punishment... AphroditeRejection10 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0159): You {#Emph}could {#Prev}stay out of these infrequent little spats I have with my hard-working Hephaestus. But if you {#Emph}really {#Prev}want to get involved, why, {#Emph}sure! AphroditeRunStart01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0052): Hello, hello to you again, gorgeous! I just couldn't wait to see you any longer, so I thought I'd join you this time from the very start. You ready for me, {#Emph}hm? AphroditeRunStart02 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0053): My intuition told me you were just about to set off on another of your big important assignments, and I desired to be the first to see you off and give to you my very best! AphroditeRunStart03 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0176): The night is young, and we've a war to win, gorgeous! I thought I might accompany you from the moment you set forth. How about it? AphroditeRunStart04 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0177): Hold it right there, sweetness! You're not about to head into the dark of night without my aid, to help keep you {#Emph}warm and tingly{#Prev}, and our foes {#Emph}dead and buried! AphroditeSurfaceRunCleared01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0088): Last time, you made a real difference here, you know! I shouldn't be surprised, and yet, a single goddess doing so much work? You're quite the inspiration, love! And {#Emph}terrifying{#Prev}, too! AphroditeUnderworldRunCleared01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0087): It's been so long, love, why, I felt a little thrill of {#Emph}fright! {#Prev}But then a little birdie told me you'd gone far down in those depths, even to some success?

Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0171): Here! Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0172): Anything for you! Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0173): Certainly! AphroditeWithApollo01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0094): There's so much beauty on Olympus, love! Take {#Emph}me{#Prev}, for instance, or bright Apollo, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}Your cousin, is he not? I daresay I see a hint of resemblance! Apollo (Apollo_0100): Now that you mention it, Lady Aphrodite, these flaxen locks of mine are a little bit akin to the pale luster of my cousin's flowing mane. There must be so much beauty in her realm, as well! AphroditeWithAres01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0213): I've always been something of a fighter, as Lord Ares here knows. But I keep telling him, the great conquests of love are more thrilling than the great conquests of war! Ares (Ares_0165): I do enjoy a good protracted fight, my Lady Aphrodite. To me, conquest is conquest; whether on the battlefield or in the heart, it matters not. And I find all of it quite moving. AphroditeWithDemeter01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0148): You and your Granny Demeter, you must have {#Emph}so {#Prev}much catching up to do! Perhaps you even have the power to un-freeze that disapproving scowl I oft fear is {#Emph}permanently {#Prev}set, though... I can see she wishes to address you now herself! Demeter (Demeter_0106): Please pay no heed to Aphrodite, flower. She's more concerned about the contours of my face than doing anything of use. But on the count that we've much catching up to do, she's right... AphroditeWithHephaestus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0092): It pains me to admit there are occasions when love is not the answer, and a bit of sharpened metal can much sooner do the trick. In such matters, my Hephaestus can be of assistance, can't you, dear? Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0130): For you, Aph? {#Emph}Anytime. {#Prev}And as for witchie here, {#Emph}most {#Prev}of the time! Now come {#Emph}on. {#Prev}Even when the situation calls for sharpened metal, you know how to get the point across! AphroditeWithHera01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0142): Be on your {#Emph}best {#Prev}behavior now, gorgeous! For I present to you our most resplendent Queen. No stranger to the ways of war, or to extinguishing the wretchedness that festers in the hearts of the wicked! Behold, {#Emph}our Lady Hera! Hera (Hera_0110): I think we're past the need for such pomp, Aphrodite. But then, more goddesses ought better understand the need to keep appearances even in troubled times... {#Emph}especially {#Prev}in troubled times. AphroditeWithHestia01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0146): The fleeting quality of beauty is what makes us {#Emph}long {#Prev}for it! But even for those whose {#Emph}outer {#Prev}beauty has abandoned them, there's oft an {#Emph}inner {#Prev}beauty that burns bright! Don't you agree, dear Hestia? Hestia (Hestia_0156): Careful with that line of reasoning there, Aphrodite. You don't have much inner beauty to speak of, and your {#Emph}outer {#Prev}beauty I can melt off in a {#Emph}snap. {#Prev}And growing all those lustrous tresses back would take a while, by my reckoning... AphroditeWithPoseidon01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0144): I used to think your Lord Uncle Poseidon was a rude and useless oaf... but, after having seen his fighting prowess in this war firsthand, I've come to realize how wrong I was! He isn't useless in the least! Poseidon (Poseidon_0270): Why thank you, Aphrodite! For I know how challenging it is for you to fathom the totality of my strength, as let's face it, you're not exactly the goddess of wisdom! {#Emph}Nor am I! {#Prev}And we have other common ground, in the {#Emph}beauty of the sea! AphroditeWithZeus01 Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0140): Love binds us all together, and inspires us to feats we never could accomplish on our own! And don't just take {#Emph}my {#Prev}word for it, gorgeous. Your {#Emph}wise {#Prev}and {#Emph}even-handed {#Prev}uncle... he knows all about spreading the love around! Zeus (Zeus_0160): You're most correct, dear Aphrodite, for my rule is based on love of family and of mortalkind as well. What are we fighting for, if not a way of life in which our passions are the driving force? ApolloAboutAphrodite01 Apollo (Apollo_0078): Word of advice about good Lady Aphrodite? Don't get distracted. She speaks of love and beauty, though she's no stranger to conflict. Perhaps my power can offset her own. ApolloAboutAres01 Apollo (Apollo_0171): Between us, I have never seen Ares so pleased as he has been recently. And I can probably imagine why. This war that we've been waging... it's a real piece of work, even for him. ApolloAboutArtemis02 Apollo (Apollo_0034): If Artemis was terse or impolite with you, don't take it personally, please. It's how she is with everyone. Always been the solitary sort, and we never know where she is when we need her. ApolloAboutAthena01 Apollo (Apollo_0038): My half-sister Athena knew your brother well, and sends her regards. She's preoccupied with our defense, leading our front-line forces and all that! She regrets that she can't aid you thus. ApolloAboutBows01 Apollo (Apollo_0156): Couldn't help but notice there's no {#Emph}bow {#Prev}in your arsenal! Artemis and I, we figure why sully our hands when we can settle any ugly business from afar... although your magick may suffice! ApolloAboutChronos01 Apollo (Apollo_0026): That Chronos is up to something, but not even Athena knows what. His assaults on Olympus always fail, even if they've kept us occupied. What's his next move...? ApolloAboutChronos02 Apollo (Apollo_0024): To think we'd wage war against our own grandfather. Not that we should give Chronos that sort of credit. He's a disgrace to our line; a hateful Titan, not a god. Not family. ApolloAboutChronos03 Apollo (Apollo_0025): I rather hoped old Chronos and his ilk would have seen the light by now, but alas. We'll just have to keep shining it in their faces for a while. ApolloAboutChronosBossW01 Apollo (Apollo_0158): You've struck a solid blow against the Titan's forces, but they've started to regroup. Still, these types of victories must shake them to the core. Let's drive them back! ApolloAboutChronosBossW02 Apollo (Apollo_0159): They're saying you got Chronos, didn't you, sunshine? Last night at least, but that's the deathless Titans for you! Never staying down for long. Though you've something in mind for that, my sister says... ApolloAboutCrossroads01 Apollo (Apollo_0029): So you were born and raised in some secluded grove down there? No luxuries, mortal worshipers... so much living to catch up on once this ugly matter is resolved. ApolloAboutDemeter01 Apollo (Apollo_0081): When Artemis first told me about you, I couldn't help but think of Demeter. She couldn't be there for your mother when Chronos struck, but I know she'll do everything she can for you. ApolloAboutDionysus01 Apollo (Apollo_0230): You can count on most of us, but I can't speak for Dionysus; don't even know where he is! I like a feast as much as anybody at the proper time, but the god of wine thinks the proper time is {#Emph}all {#Prev}the time. ApolloAboutEphyra01 Apollo (Apollo_0075): You must be in the city of Ephyra to the west, a staging ground for our enemies... with the Underworld gates thrown open, Chronos can replenish his forces faster than we can kill them off. ApolloAboutErebus01 Apollo (Apollo_0048): Wonder what there is to do for leisure down in Erebus, when one isn't rigorously training to vanquish hateful Titans and such. There must be something... ApolloAboutEris01 Apollo (Apollo_0151): We've confirmed sightings of that {#Emph}Eris {#Prev}buzzing about. She's from your realm not ours, so you may be more privy to how come she's showed up uninvited! Though, that tends to be her style. Somebody needs to shoo her away, already... ApolloAboutFamily01 Apollo (Apollo_0246): I don't like getting swept up in our family's petty feuds, especially with older generations that apparently have nothing better to do. But you and I couldn't exactly sit this one out, could we? ApolloAboutFamily02 Apollo (Apollo_0028): No wonder Chronos hates us, right? Admittedly we've got some prickly personalities here, but for all our quirks, we're family; and we stick together. Something Titans wouldn't understand. ApolloAboutFates01 Apollo (Apollo_0164): I didn't think matters could get much more precarious for us, but if the Fates are truly gone, then... their prophecies about the future may not come to pass. They foretold our family's eternal rule over the world... what if they were wrong? ApolloAboutFates02 Apollo (Apollo_0210): Even if you managed to make Chronos see the light, the Three Fates are still missing. And we're supposed to believe he doesn't know where they are? This couldn't possibly be what they wanted or foretold... ApolloAboutFields01 Apollo (Apollo_0244): You're in the Mourning Fields. I wonder does the Hyacinth grow there... the flower of a gentle prince, long gone. Once the Underworld reopens, perhaps I could go seek him out. ApolloAboutFoes01 Apollo (Apollo_0040): Well, sunshine, it's just the two of us again, now that you slaughtered every... what exactly do you call those? Well, no matter, here! ApolloAboutHades01 Apollo (Apollo_0037): I never was particularly close with your father, but I guess neither were you. Always struck me as a gloomy sort, though he did seem to care a lot about his own. He'll get his justice yet. ApolloAboutHardTimes01 Apollo (Apollo_0051): Our world's been through worse times than {#Emph}this, {#Prev}Cousin! So I am told at least, I've not seen anything this bad. Still, it's nothing we can't handle, right? ApolloAboutHecate01 Apollo (Apollo_0035): You trained under Hecate, the Witch of the Crossroads? She's well respected here, though we've not seen her in a while, of course. I often speak ill of Titans lately but I'm reminded that they're not all bad. ApolloAboutHelios01 Apollo (Apollo_0224): It's complicated who owns what up here. You know Helios the Sun? He's back to tramping across the sky in his chariot like nothing's changed, but he'd be lost without {#Emph}my {#Prev}light! {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, Titans. What can you do? ApolloAboutHephaestus01 Apollo (Apollo_0229): Hephaestus has been hard at work on our defenses, so I'm pleased you've heard from him. Don't take his surly manner the wrong way! He doesn't get out much, certainly not these days. ApolloAboutHera01 Apollo (Apollo_0079): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, you've met my stepmother, have you? I'm fortunate to feel loved, but Hera, well, I'm not her favorite. Long as no one leads her to believe you're Zeus's child, you will be just fine. ApolloAboutHermes01 Apollo (Apollo_0082): You got there faster than expected, which might mean you got a bit of a boost from Hermes! He's swift for sure, though I can never get a straight answer out of him about anything... ApolloAboutHestia01 Apollo (Apollo_0080): Hey you got old Hestia to crawl out of the woodwork! She normally wants nothing to do with any of us, though this business with Chronos got her all worked up. Well, good! ApolloAboutHiddenAspects01 Apollo (Apollo_0255): It's often said there's nothing new under the sun, though I've not seen a weapon quite like what you're wielding there! The legendary Arms of Night, Hephaestus says. Impressive stuff! ApolloAboutHouse01 Apollo (Apollo_0241): I always wished to see the House of Hades, though your father and mother have a royal guard I {#Emph}may {#Prev}have sent to their realm prematurely. It'd make things rather awkward if we ran into each other there... ApolloAboutKeepsake01 Apollo (Apollo_0176): See, sunshine? Whenever you head out with the Harmonic Photon that you got from me, I won't be far behind. And you'll get a warm fuzzy feeling for good measure! ApolloAboutKeepsake02 Apollo (Apollo_0222): That Photon I gave you has seen plenty of good use by now, hasn't it? I know you don't always need a light in the darkness like so many others, so I'm pleased it could help. ApolloAboutLight01 Apollo (Apollo_0049): What sort of light can I provide for you today? I've got hard light, soft light, blinding light, last thing a mortal ever sees light... you name it! ApolloAboutLight02 Apollo (Apollo_0050): You ever wonder what light really is, Cousin? Can't grasp it in your hand, doesn't weigh a thing, yet it's all around us! A real mystery... I'm waiting for the mortals to figure it out! ApolloAboutLight03 Apollo (Apollo_0042): You're more of a night person, aren't you, sunshine? Accustomed to the dark. Me, I'm more the broad daylight type, but hey, to each their own. ApolloAboutLight04 Apollo (Apollo_0043): Don't know how you managed all this time without so much as a ray of light down there. Different worlds, I guess, but sometimes good things happen when such worlds collide. ApolloAboutMelinoe01 Apollo (Apollo_0084): When Artemis first told me your tale, I figured it was just one of her pranks. Taking on the Titan yourself, {#Emph}come on. {#Prev}But it {#Emph}did {#Prev}sound like something a vengeful child of Hades might attempt... ApolloAboutMomusAspect01 Apollo (Apollo_0223): What is that fancy staff you've got, with a serpent coiled at the top? How strange, it's... reminiscent of a vision that I've had... about a masterwork that can do no harm... ApolloAboutMortals01 Apollo (Apollo_0044): Mortals look to us for guidance and inspiration. They must be {#Emph}horrified {#Prev}by what they're seeing of late! Half of them seem to be against us now. Let's hope it's the {#Emph}other {#Prev}half that's left once all this is over. ApolloAboutMortals02 Apollo (Apollo_0240): For such a fearful lot, mortals sure love killing each other! There was this war they had a while back that even had us gods at one another's throats. I tried to settle it with plague and arrows and such, but {#Emph}no! {#Prev}Father wanted it to play out. ApolloAboutMusic01 Apollo (Apollo_0250): Artemis says you're rather musically inclined! Runs in the family, even your parents have an ear for it what with Orpheus as their court musician. He's the best I ever taught! ApolloAboutOceanus01 Apollo (Apollo_0072): Where in blazes are you now, sunshine? It's like you're at the bottom of the sea. Wherever it is, it's awful dark, and as you know, I've always got the cure for that. ApolloAboutOlympus01 Apollo (Apollo_0045): We'll keep holding it together on this mountaintop, just as long as you keep holding it together... wherever it is you happen to be! Take care, all right? ApolloAboutOlympus02 Apollo (Apollo_0177): Wait, you're right on Olympus now, sunshine! So close to us, though I am painfully aware the worst is yet to come as you press on. Fortunately, I have the best for you right here! ApolloAboutOlympus03 Apollo (Apollo_0251): I can't believe we've let those Satyrs overrun our mountainside... leave it to Dionysus to try and make friends with them, but I've had no such fortune, believe me. ApolloAboutPackageBounty01 Apollo (Apollo_0172): Don't know what it is exactly but something about this night made me flash back to when first you contacted me in those very woods. Well, either strange forces are at work or just my imagination, right? ApolloAboutPackageBounty02 Apollo (Apollo_0173): You're just outside of the Ephyra gates, aren't you? That city is beyond salvation; I know they used to worship your mother and father there, but still... if it were up to me alone, I'd sweep the place away and start anew. ApolloAboutPackageBounty03 Apollo (Apollo_0174): There's something exceedingly odd about tonight. Haven't we already had an evening just like this, down to the smallest detail? Your magick at work perhaps... as long as it isn't Chronos. ApolloAboutPalace01 Apollo (Apollo_0206): I know you're not one to complain, but it couldn't have been easy for you being at the Palace here at the break of Dawn... probably much more light than you're used to. We're hardly used to it either now thanks to all of Typhon's storms. ApolloAboutPassions01 Apollo (Apollo_0030): I like being the god of many things. There's light, and poetry, music, healing... so many passions, and all the time in the world. Why settle for just blacksmithing or what-have-you? ApolloAboutPolyphemus01 Apollo (Apollo_0150): The sightless Cyclops Polyphemus bars your passage, does he now? Don't know what good my light will do against the likes of {#Emph}him{#Prev}, though perhaps I can help get you there in one piece. ApolloAboutPoseidon01 Apollo (Apollo_0077): Beneath our uncle Poseidon's affable veneer is a ferocity I've learned to carefully avoid. If he's backed you with his ocean-strength, you're better off. Go make the most of it! ApolloAboutPrometheus01 Apollo (Apollo_0152): Prometheus himself, leading the assault against us... one of our sole allies amongst Titankind, become a bitter foe. All because of how we treated him! Or because... he knows which side shall be victorious when all is said and done... ApolloAboutPrometheus02 Apollo (Apollo_0211): Didn't think we'd let Prometheus continue his assault like this. Some partnership we've formed, all so you can re-create the path you took to Typhon, to then face the monster's remnants on the summit as before...? ApolloAboutPrometheus03 Apollo (Apollo_0216): If Prometheus truly had the foresight that everything would happen as it did... why bar your path and fight so fiercely, only to be defeated again and again...? Unless the dawning of a new age wouldn't come about in any other way... ApolloAboutProphecy01 Apollo (Apollo_0031): Bit embarrassed to admit that I'm the god of prophecy, among everything else. I ought to have seen this Titan business coming! But I didn't... and old Chronos caught us out. ApolloAboutProphecy02 Apollo (Apollo_0032): As god of prophecies, I'm certain that we're going to succeed. Exactly how, though, I can't say for sure. That's prophecies for you! Blasted frustrating things most of the time. ApolloAboutRelationship01 Apollo (Apollo_0167): When I first reached out to you many nights ago, I figured, {#Emph}hey, another cousin! I like those! {#Prev}But the truth is I never expected you to make as great a difference as you have. My hope is I've done my part to make it possible. ApolloAboutRouteChoice01 Apollo (Apollo_0085): So you get to pick your poison between going after Chronos in the Underworld, or coming to our rescue here! Truth is there's been some dispute as to which is the brighter idea. But, you must know what you're doing better than we. ApolloAboutShrine01 Apollo (Apollo_0175): Such a dark and oppressive night this is shaping up to be... even if I could illuminate all your foes waiting in ambush, I'm not sure you'd want to see them. Be very careful out there... ApolloAboutSilverSisters01 Apollo (Apollo_0036): My sister Artemis once also trained with Hecate, you know! Trained in {#Emph}what{#Prev}, however, I have no idea. I still remember how they'd howl at night like a pack of wolves, {#Emph}heh{#Prev}. Bit unnerving, honestly! ApolloAboutSurface01 Apollo (Apollo_0073): My word, you reached the {#Emph}surface{#Prev}, didn't you, sunshine? I thought your birthright meant you couldn't live up here...? ApolloAboutSurface02 Apollo (Apollo_0074): The surface used to be more pleasant. But ever since the siege, Uncle Poseidon has been going all out with quakes and cataclysms in response. Stirring up the land like it's his mixing bowl. ApolloAboutSurface03 Apollo (Apollo_0157): Cousin, weren't you headed to Olympus last I checked? Must have been waylaid by the Titan's thugs. Well, don't give up! Although I guess you wouldn't be there if you did. ApolloAboutSurfaceThreat01 Apollo (Apollo_0153): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, we've got a situation starting to unfold. A big crevasse opened up at the base of the mountain, and something's in there... something big. And it's {#Emph}breathing... {#Prev}suppose it's friendly...? ApolloAboutTalent01 Apollo (Apollo_0247): I caught merely a glimpse, though that was poetry in motion the way you handled yourself against that lot. Talent runs in the family! Some of us just wound up with a bigger share. ApolloAboutThessaly01 Apollo (Apollo_0083): How fares your voyage here, sunshine? If only we could whisk you over with more-godlike means, but the skies are as treacherous as the waters... as I suspect you've noticed. ApolloAboutTitanWar01 Apollo (Apollo_0023): Do bide your time, sunshine. The Titan thinks he has us pinned, but we have the situation here under control! Just locked in a bit of a stalemate is all. ApolloAboutTitanWar02 Apollo (Apollo_0046): {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, this blasted war. Leaves little time for music or for poetry or any of life's joys. Though, it's brought the family closer together, I guess! ApolloAboutTorch01 Apollo (Apollo_0155): You were a little easier to spot with twin torches in hand... though yours don't seem to cast the customary kind of light! Truly the more I learn of you, the more questions I have! ApolloAboutTyphon01 Apollo (Apollo_0154): Ever wondered just how gargantuan is Typhon, the Father of All Monsters, truly? Well, you need but pay a visit here and you'll find out! Till then, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, we'll... just have to fend him off! ApolloAboutTyphon02 Apollo (Apollo_0160): Judging by all his vengeful roars, Typhon must hate my father almost as much as Chronos does. But are they truly working together? A monster such as that couldn't possibly be taking orders from a Titan, or anybody. ApolloAboutTyphonDeath01 Apollo (Apollo_0207): Chronos must have thought nothing could stop him if he unleashed Typhon, but he thought wrong. Let's throw everything we've got at him and finish this, sunshine. ApolloAboutTyphonDeath02 Apollo (Apollo_0209): So we're now working to prevent even the {#Emph}possibility {#Prev}that Typhon could have overwhelmed us here? And the Titan's forces are somehow part of this new plan. Well, if you're in, {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}in. Should make my evenings more exciting for a bit! ApolloAboutTyphonW01 Apollo (Apollo_0162): I still can't entirely believe you {#Emph}got {#Prev}him, sunshine! Typhon should have taken the combined might of our entire family, and in a way he did, it's just... the rest of us were busy fighting back his swarms. He's really got us stretched thin. ApolloAboutTyphonW02 Apollo (Apollo_0161): If Typhon keeps coming back, eventually there may be no mountain here left to climb. I know my father and Queen Hera have a plan in case things could not get more dire, but I'm more optimistic for whichever plan you have in mind... ApolloAboutTyphonW03 Apollo (Apollo_0163): We should be able to hold back Typhon for a while longer, especially now that you've shown us a thing or two about how it's {#Emph}done{#Prev}, sunshine. You're going after Chronos now, aren't you? Well ridding us of {#Emph}him {#Prev}certainly wouldn't hurt. ApolloAboutUnderworld01 Apollo (Apollo_0212): Even though your mother and father are back, you can't just stroll down to the bottom of the Underworld, can you? Finding remnants of Chronos means re-creating the conditions in which you faced him before, something like that...? ApolloAboutWitchcraft01 Apollo (Apollo_0047): So you're a witch, are you? Interesting craft. Your magick-making words possess a certain rhythm and power. Poetry is much the same! Except its magick affects only the heart. ApolloAboutZagreus01 Apollo (Apollo_0214): So pleased you finally got to meet your brother by the way! Me, I have {#Emph}more {#Prev}than enough of those, but if you grew up as an only child, you could probably use one. And it's never too late to make up for lost time. ApolloAboutZeus01 Apollo (Apollo_0076): My father Zeus already got to you, did he? {#Emph}Blessed {#Prev}you, I should say! He's a god of many inclinations. But when our rule is threatened, or even insulted, no one fights back more fiercely. ApolloBlindBox01 Apollo (Apollo_0225): Perhaps you knew this Boon was going to be mine, for how can my light be contained, even in a heavy parcel? It must have been glowing a {#Emph}little {#Prev}at least, right? ApolloBlindBox02 Apollo (Apollo_0226): Normally my light makes it easy to spot whoever needs a blessing or a smiting, but you always seem to be in shadow! Fortunately, Charon seems to know how to get a hold of you! ApolloChat01 Apollo (Apollo_0003): Let's show them a dazzling display they won't soon forget. ApolloChat02 Apollo (Apollo_0004): Won't take but a moment here and you'll be positively radiant, you'll see. ApolloChat03 Apollo (Apollo_0005): I'd rather we handled all this in the light of day, but whatever works! ApolloChat04 Apollo (Apollo_0006): Brighter days are ahead, just have to get through this rough patch. ApolloChat05 Apollo (Apollo_0007): What can we do but try and make these dark days a bit brighter, Cousin? ApolloChat06 Apollo (Apollo_0008): You're going to put on a brilliant performance tonight, Cousin. ApolloChat07 Apollo (Apollo_0009): Peace will come again eventually, but for now, we have a reputation to uphold. ApolloChat08 Apollo (Apollo_0010): From all of us upon Olympus, we are grateful for your ongoing support. ApolloChat09 Apollo (Apollo_0011): Must be something I can do to brighten up your evening there a bit? ApolloChat10 Apollo (Apollo_0012): Go on, sunshine, and may my light help guide you where you need to be. ApolloChat11 Apollo (Apollo_0013): Can't have a nice day out in the sun, well here's the next best thing! ApolloChat12 Apollo (Apollo_0014): You're brilliant without my light, though here's a little just in case. ApolloChat13 Apollo (Apollo_0015): Much as I'd rather offer poetry and music, right now these shall have to do. ApolloChat14 Apollo (Apollo_0016): Where there's light, there's hope, sunshine, so get set for some of each! ApolloChat15 Apollo (Apollo_0017): Oh, this is going to be a sensational night, I can already tell! ApolloChat16 Apollo (Apollo_0018): Your foes won't so much as touch you once we dazzle them a bit. ApolloChat17 Apollo (Apollo_0019): I'd cast a plague upon our enemies but think you'll do the trick. ApolloChat18 Apollo (Apollo_0020): Tread lightly down there, and remember, we're with you all the way. ApolloChat19 Apollo (Apollo_0021): Remember, don't go heading down into the dark without a light. ApolloChat20 Apollo (Apollo_0022): I confess I'm rather enjoying this particular song and dance. ApolloChat21 Apollo (Apollo_0257): My light normally can't reach the depths of the Underworld, but you can change all that! ApolloChat22 Apollo (Apollo_0258): We're all in this together till the end, sunshine! Whenever {#Emph}that {#Prev}is going to be, right? ApolloChat23 Apollo (Apollo_0259): I don't like getting swept up in family affairs, but I couldn't exactly sit {#Emph}this {#Prev}one out. ApolloChat24 Apollo (Apollo_0260): As god of prophecies, I'm certain that we're going to succeed. ApolloChat25 Apollo (Apollo_0261): Talent runs in the family! Some of us just wound up with a bigger share. ApolloChat26 Apollo (Apollo_0262): Look at you, strutting through that Underworld as though you own the place! ApolloChat27 Apollo (Apollo_0263): Don't know how you managed all this time without so much as a ray of light down there. ApolloChat28 Apollo (Apollo_0264): What sort of light can I provide for you today? ApolloChat29 Apollo (Apollo_0265): Don't know about you, but I've got a good feeling about how this is going to go! ApolloChat30 Apollo (Apollo_0266): You were a little easier to spot with twin torches in hand! ApolloChat31 Apollo (Apollo_0267): Such a dark and oppressive night this is shaping up to be... ApolloChat32 Apollo (Apollo_0268): Before you go charging off to battle and glory once more, please, allow me! ApolloChat33 Apollo (Apollo_0269): May this blessing be of benefit every step of the way tonight. ApolloChat34 Apollo (Apollo_0270): For all the Boons we've offered, you've given us quite the blessing in exchange. ApolloChat35 Apollo (Apollo_0271): I like being the god of many things... so many passions, and all the time in the world! ApolloFirstPickUp Melinoe (Melinoe_0630): Just a spell, it's just another spell. Ten words... {#Emph}In the name of Hades! Olympus, I accept this message! Apollo (Apollo_0088): Greetings from Olympus and well met, there, sunshine! Look, we can't get to the Titan, but if you truly mean to stop him, then the least I can do is light your way down. ApolloGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0502): Cousin Apollo! I am grateful for all your warmth, benevolence, and aid! Please, accept this gift! Apollo (Apollo_0056): An offering, for me? What a delightful surprise, and I haven't had a lot of those of late. Know what, I've something for you, too! ApolloGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0503): I wonder, does this bottle's brilliant sheen come from the god of light, himself? Perhaps to him it should return, right now! Apollo (Apollo_0057): Such a thoughtful gift! It's gracious of you to think of me like this, and during such a time. Though there's no need to go out of your way! ApolloGift03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1759): Brilliant Apollo, your many talents must be the envy of all the land, and I am honored that you're sharing them with me. Here, this is for you! Apollo (Apollo_0058): Come now, you truly shouldn't have. Such flattery's entirely unnecessary, I assure you! Although it's perfectly welcome! ApolloGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1760): They say this Nectar shines as brightly as the sun, Cousin. May it live up to such a promise, especially now that it's yours! I'm beyond fortunate to have you as a friend. Apollo (Apollo_0059): Oh, you're too kind. You didn't have to get me {#Emph}this! {#Prev}I never knew you Underworld gods were so damn courteous. You know our customs better than {#Emph}we {#Prev}do! ApolloGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1761): My glorious cousin! It was you who first reached out to me of all those on Olympus. I've come this far because of you, and no matter what happens, I'll never forget the kindness you showed me. Apollo (Apollo_0165): Come on, the pleasure is mine! It's not all sunshine on Olympus recently. But then I hear from you, and I'm left feeling everything will be all right. Don't quite know how that happened, but I'm very grateful that we met. ApolloGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1762): Dear Cousin, you must have Nectar in no short supply. But I know that the depth of the sentiment is what distinguishes one bottle from the next. So please accept this one; it should be good. Apollo (Apollo_0166): I'm an Olympian; I'm used to glad-handers and sycophants. Everybody wants our favor, right? And I can smile and nod better than anyone, even Father. Yet with you... well, if only we had more chances to talk than trade in courtesies... ApolloGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3827): Lord Apollo, my cousin, my friend! This Ambrosia reminds me of the moment I first saw your father's palace and heard your wondrous song. Thank you for letting me see our world in a new light, and for always believing in me. Apollo (Apollo_0168): Believing in you couldn't have been easier, Lady Melinoë, even without this Ambrosia dancing with moon beams from the Crossroads. I feel truly blessed to have met you, and that my sister found you when she did. You're the greatest boon our family has received in a long, long time. ApolloLegendaryPickUp01 Apollo (Apollo_0052): All right, sunshine... what do you say we cut the song and dance and set you up with something positively brilliant this time. See here! ApolloLegendaryPickUp02 Apollo (Apollo_0053): There's no one god of vengeance on Olympus, because we all share that responsibility at times. Go on, take back what's yours. ApolloLootBought01 Apollo (Apollo_0062): It's fortunate the Underworld Boatman's still plying his trade even during a downturn such as this! I trust his prices have gotten better, at least? Or, perhaps worse... ApolloLootBought02 Apollo (Apollo_0063): We have to reach you however we can, and Charon's been more than keen to oblige. Bit of an odd fellow, but then, aren't we all? ApolloLootBought03 Apollo (Apollo_0227): That Boatman's something of a coin collector, isn't he? Well, once we're finished with old Chronos, all those Gold Crowns of his will be extremely rare collector's items! ApolloLootBought04 Apollo (Apollo_0228): We started working with Charon back when we had to figure out a system to transport all the mortal dead down to your father's realm. Must be more pleasant hauling messages from us! ApolloLowHealth01 Apollo (Apollo_0060): You seem a bit out of sorts, sunshine. I'm supposed to be the god of healing, though even I can't aid you all that much in your present state. But let me see what I can do. ApolloLowHealth02 Apollo (Apollo_0061): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, you seem unwell, Cousin. Either you're pushing yourself too hard, or your foes landed a few too many hits. Perhaps both. Take care, all right? ApolloLowHealth03 Apollo (Apollo_0234): I'm a bit of a physician, sunshine, and my professional opinion is your vital signs are not the best right now. Although perhaps we can still get you back in shape... ApolloMakeUp01 Apollo (Apollo_0066): Oh, enough of this. Let's turn our combined might back in the same direction, and move on. ApolloMakeUp02 Apollo (Apollo_0067): That got a bit ugly, didn't it? How about we both stay focused on the task at hand. ApolloMakeUp03 Apollo (Apollo_0111): Forgive my little outburst there, would you? Just a bit of bad temper. Runs in the family. ApolloMakeUp04 Apollo (Apollo_0112): A momentary flash of anger was all! We gods are easily hurt, for a bunch of immortals. ApolloMakeUp05 Apollo (Apollo_0113): You were just messing with me back there, right? I normally can take a prank just fine, but we've all been a bit on edge. ApolloMakeUp06 Apollo (Apollo_0114): No use keeping anger bottled up. We're gods! We control everything but our emotions, right? ApolloMakeUp07 Apollo (Apollo_0115): Relationships grow stronger through adversity. So ours must have grown a little stronger there! ApolloMakeUp08 Apollo (Apollo_0116): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, sorry about that, sunshine. When my wrath flares up, probably best to not be anywhere in the vicinity. ApolloMakeUp09 Apollo (Apollo_0117): Well, so much for that lot! May my blessing serve you better than them. You earned it! ApolloMakeUp10 Apollo (Apollo_0118): I let frustrations get the best of me, but that entertaining spectacle shook me out of it! ApolloPalaceAboutTyphonDeath01 Apollo (Apollo_0187): That monster, truly gone... you got him, forever! Not that my faith in you wavered since your initial victory, it's just... I still can't entirely believe it. So now for Chronos, then? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3869): Now for Chronos, then. One encouraging result can often spur another. And perhaps all of you shall have a brief reprieve. I'm certain you could use it. Apollo (Apollo_0188): With Prometheus and such still causing problems, we won't be getting all too comfortable just yet. Especially not while our main foe is out there still. Go get him, sunshine. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3870): On it. ApolloPalaceFirstMeeting Apollo (Apollo_0178): You did it, sunshine! I'd say I knew you would, but the truth is, I had an inkling of doubt... especially once I saw Typhon for myself. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3831): He was quite large, I'll give him that! It's a pleasure to finally meet you face-to-face like this, Cousin. You play most beautifully! Apollo (Apollo_0179): Oh, anything to take our minds off of what's happening. At least you bought us a bit of reprieve so I could play again at all. Typhon is going to be back, though, isn't he...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3832): I'd count on that. But I am going to be back as well. For now, please bolster your defenses, and make ready for the monster's next attack. Now I had better go... my headmistress is expecting my return. Apollo (Apollo_0180): Can't you just contact her by Boon? I'll bring one forth for you in case that works. And thanks for everything, Cousin. ApolloPalaceMeeting02 Apollo (Apollo_0182): It's good to see you again, Cousin. Just as I was beginning to fear my song would be tonight's sole source of cheer! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3843): Lord Apollo, good to see you too. Please give my regards to the others... I would have liked to meet, but had best be getting back. Apollo (Apollo_0183): Of course, you must be on your last legs. The others surely would have liked to see you too, especially your grandmother, but they couldn't leave their posts. Please accept our apologies, and let us help you to return. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3844): Tell Lady Demeter and everyone I wish them well. ApolloPalaceMeeting03 Apollo (Apollo_0184): You truly think we'll soon get blasted Typhon well out of our way for good? That'd be a welcome change. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3848): If we can rid ourselves of Chronos, then we should be able to rid ourselves of the Father of All Monsters, too. And I have not been training all my life for this only to fail now. Apollo (Apollo_0185): Well! Remind me never to get on your bad side, sunshine. You ready to head home? Always good to see you, though I'd best get back to singing so that everyone stays calm. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3849): We have this. ApolloPalaceMeeting04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3851): Your song is such a welcome sound after a hard night's climb, Cousin. It nearly makes me forget the troubles we're dealing with. All this light, however, I'm not used to yet... Apollo (Apollo_0186): We're not much used to it here either for how dark it's been of late. Though let's get you back before it drains you more. Sounds like you have to pay Chronos a visit soon. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3852): That I do. ApolloPalaceMeeting04_B Melinoe (MelinoeField_3851): Your song is such a welcome sound after a hard night's climb, Cousin. It nearly makes me forget the troubles we're dealing with. All this light, however, I'm not used to yet... Apollo (Apollo_0186_B): We're not much used to it here either for how dark it's been of late. Though let's get you back before it drains you more. ApolloPalacePostTrueEnding01 Apollo (Apollo_0189): We ought to be feasting in your name as far as I'm concerned, sunshine. But no sign of Dionysus still, and our new guest has drawn most of the attention. Soon we also won't be letting anybody in from the outside. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3920): It's all right, Cousin, as I'm not much for feasting anyhow. And we do need to find a place for this grandfather of ours. Do you know what Lord Uncle Zeus has in store for him? Apollo (Apollo_0190): Not entirely, but my impression is he's sending Chronos back into the Underworld, to Lord Hades. Apparently they've reached some sort of bargain. So, you truly think our grandfather has changed? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3921): I think he has a different outlook on things, yes. As for me, sounds like I may not be able to return anytime soon. This place truly is beyond compare, and with each visit you've made me feel welcome. Thank you for that and everything. Apollo (Apollo_0191): Oh, come on, it's all of us who should be thanking you, and quite profusely I should add. Anyhow, not like this is a permanent farewell. I'll keep in touch by Boon, all right? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3922): All right. ApolloPalacePostZeusChat01 Apollo (Apollo_0192): Ready to head back again? Here, let me light the way. ApolloPalacePostZeusChat02 Apollo (Apollo_0193): Splendid work as usual, sunshine. We're all grateful you made the trip. ApolloPalacePostZeusChat03 Apollo (Apollo_0194): By now you'd probably much rather be where it isn't quite this bright. ApolloPalacePostZeusChat04 Apollo (Apollo_0195): It's only thanks to you that I can sit and strum here at a time like this. ApolloPalacePostZeusChat05 Apollo (Apollo_0181): Wish you could stay since you just got here, though I know it's not the time. Be safe out there. ApolloPalacePreZeusChat01 Apollo (Apollo_0196): It's good to see you, sunshine, but you'd best speak to Father first. ApolloPalacePreZeusChat02 Apollo (Apollo_0197): Best not to keep your Lord Uncle waiting. I'll be right here. ApolloPalacePreZeusChat03 Apollo (Apollo_0198): I, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, think the King and Queen might like a word? ApolloPostEpilogue01 Apollo (Apollo_0215): The Fates are back, all three of them, sunshine! Such a relief to feel their prophecies again. They even now foretell the dawning of a new and different age. Plenty of time to prepare... though let's make the most of it, right? ApolloPostGift01 Apollo (Apollo_0069): How did there come to be so much deceit in this world, Cousin? Believe me, we've needed a god of truth around here sometimes. Happy to do it and hope it catches on. ApolloPostGift02 Apollo (Apollo_0070): Hope you don't mind I call you sunshine, by the way! I mean it when I say it. I know you come from underneath the earth, but there's this brilliance about you. Your mother's side I guess. ApolloPostGift03 Apollo (Apollo_0071): There anybody special in your life? A princess like yourself must have suitors of all sorts. I've had my share, though I'm not the marrying type, and besides, I don't think Hera would oblige... ApolloPostGift05 Apollo (Apollo_0252): For all the Boons we've offered, you've given us quite the blessing in exchange. Olympus has powerful allies... well, you and Heracles, at least! But you have this spark so many others don't. ApolloPostTrueEnding01 Apollo (Apollo_0208): It was a joy and honor to accompany you to the Crossroads on Selene's silver chariot, Cousin. The ballad Artemis and I performed... that's the first we jointly composed. We don't always get along but you inspired us. ApolloRejection01 Apollo (Apollo_0064): You wound me, Cousin. After everything we've been through together, you'd brush me off so easily? ApolloRejection02 Apollo (Apollo_0065): {#Emph}Augh! {#Prev}Now really isn't the time for petty squabbles, but I'm afraid you leave me with no choice... ApolloRejection03 Apollo (Apollo_0103): Not your first choice?! Perhaps you haven't heard, so I'll enlighten you: My generosity is not unlimited. ApolloRejection04 Apollo (Apollo_0104): I have few weak points, but my pride is one. You got me where it hurts, so now I've got to get you back. ApolloRejection05 Apollo (Apollo_0105): Was it something I said or did? Or perhaps you don't respect my power. Even when it's turned against you thus? ApolloRejection06 Apollo (Apollo_0106): I go out of my way to offer you my strength, and you refuse? That's not something any self-respecting god can abide. ApolloRejection07 Apollo (Apollo_0107): Come on, sunshine, why the snub? You should know that when my feelings get hurt, it's never the only thing. ApolloRejection08 Apollo (Apollo_0108): I have a reputation to live up to. I can't just let you brush me off like some pathetic commoner with nothing but a prayer! ApolloRejection09 Apollo (Apollo_0109): Perhaps someday we'll all be able to resolve our differences more sensibly. But we're the gods, and we're a family, damn it! ApolloRejection10 Apollo (Apollo_0110): Beneath this sunny disposition, I have something of a vengeful streak, Cousin. Though I know actions speak louder than words. ApolloRunStart01 Apollo (Apollo_0054): Just getting started for the evening, are you, sunshine? Don't know about you, but I've got a good feeling about how this is going to go! ApolloRunStart02 Apollo (Apollo_0055): The night is young, and I found you already. You don't suppose some of my sister's tracking skill is starting to rub off on me, do you? ApolloRunStart03 Apollo (Apollo_0231): Before you go charging off to battle and glory once more, please, allow me! And may this blessing be of benefit every step of the way tonight. ApolloUnderworldRunCleared01 Apollo (Apollo_0041): Look at you, strutting through that Underworld as though you own the place! Although perhaps you do? Not sure how it works with the succession plans down there. ApolloUnderworldRunCleared02 Apollo (Apollo_0149): The other evening, we lost contact with you in the deepest level of the Underworld. Soon after, though, our enemies flew into disarray, at least for a while. Your doing wasn't it? Fine work! ApolloUnderworldRunCleared03 Apollo (Apollo_0213): You found a harmful trace of Chronos, now a trace of Typhon's next? Glad there's no real sign of them from where {#Emph}we {#Prev}sit... besides their scattered forces and the devastation that they caused, but that can be cleared up! ApolloUpgrade.BlindBoxOpenedVoiceLines Apollo (Apollo_0119): Hello, sunshine! Apollo (Apollo_0120): Hello, Cousin! Apollo (Apollo_0121): Guess who, sunshine? Apollo (Apollo_0122): Greetings from Olympus! Apollo (Apollo_0123): At your service! Apollo (Apollo_0124): Surprise, surprise! ApolloUpgrade.DeathTauntVoiceLines Apollo (Apollo_0139): Mess with me, and it's lights out, sunshine. Apollo (Apollo_0140): Need I remind you, I'm not always as nice as I look. Apollo (Apollo_0141): Best not push the bounds of our relationship too far. Apollo (Apollo_0142): I'm no less prone to wrath than any of us, Cousin. Apollo (Apollo_0143): We Olympians can't all be the best; because it's my job. Apollo (Apollo_0144): You left me little choice but the old show of force. ApolloUpgrade.FirstSpawnVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_0168): It's him... ApolloUpgrade.FullSuperActivatedVoiceLines Apollo (Apollo_0145): We'll shine so bright it hurts!

Apollo (Apollo_0219): Oh {#Emph}now {#Prev}you want my aid? Apollo (Apollo_0220): Well I don't see why not! Apollo (Apollo_0221): We're being cheeky now! Artemis (Artemis_0464): Hey little brother! Artemis (Artemis_0465): Apollo?! Chronos (Chronos_1261): Far too much blasted light... Chronos (Chronos_1262): The light of the {#Emph}sun?! Zagreus (Zagreus_0360): It's Apollo...!

Apollo (Apollo_0136): Right! Apollo (Apollo_0137): Sure thing! Apollo (Apollo_0138): Brilliant! ApolloWithAphrodite01 Apollo (Apollo_0099): I, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, lost my train of thought, Cousin, for Aphrodite here, she doesn't seem to understand the meaning of a {#Emph}private conversation. {#Prev}Lady, would you care to join us, then? Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0095): Oh, dear Apollo, {#Emph}yes{#Prev}, I {#Emph}always {#Prev}care to join your conversations, {#Emph}especially {#Prev}the private ones! And is there any who could blame me? Love and sunshine go together, after all! ApolloWithAres01 Apollo (Apollo_0169): Ares and I were just chatting about how we seem to get on best when we're on the same side of a war. So, Brother, is this all an elaborate ploy to bring us closer together? Ares (Ares_0159): I think it's merely that a proper war brings out the best in all of us; even in you, Apollo, and in me. The rigors of conflict forge unbreakable bonds! And make for powerful blessings. ApolloWithDemeter01 Apollo (Apollo_0097): All of us here want you to succeed, Cousin, though none so much as Lady Demeter... I'm reminded that you are her grandchild, after all. {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, wait, she wants to speak to you herself! Demeter (Demeter_0104): Thank you for your advocacy services, Apollo. Should I have need of them again, I shall apprise you. For now, my granddaughter requires our abilities, not honeyed words. ApolloWithHephaestus01 Apollo (Apollo_0101): You know, Cousin, one thing you and Hephaestus have in common is you don't seem to get a lot of sun! I often try to coax him from his cave, and while I usually fail, not {#Emph}this {#Prev}time! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0126): Come off it, mate, before the witchie catches on to your routine! Now make yourself useful over here, lest I stick this hammer right where {#Emph}you {#Prev}don't get a lot of sun! ApolloWithHera01 Apollo (Apollo_0093): I know you were expecting me, sunshine, but my {#Emph}glorious {#Prev}stepmother the Queen would like a word! This instant... so I'd better step aside, all right? Hera (Hera_0104): You see, my dear? There are yet those upon Olympus who show their Queen the proper deference. Seek not to earn the love of your subjects; make them a bit afraid, instead. ApolloWithHestia01 Apollo (Apollo_0095): Great Hestia has joined us here, Cousin! Returned from all her journeys 'cross the world, to lend her wisdom in our time of need. Where glows her hearth-flame, you shall also find my light. And together, we can, {#Emph}oh—! Hestia (Hestia_0152): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}shut it, Golden Boy, we don't have time for pageantry! Instead, how about we show your wee cousin there how we can light up the night? Won't do for her to wander in the dark! ApolloWithPoseidon01 Apollo (Apollo_0091): Cousin, our uncle and I were just debating what to do about mortals who turned their backs on us... I think a year or so of plague should settle up the score! But, Lord Poseidon here thinks it's more important to {#Emph}go big... Poseidon (Poseidon_0042): Why would you {#Emph}not {#Prev}go big, given the choice, my delicate nephew? I'll shake the earth so strongly it shall swallow all those nasty mortals up, and deliver them straight down into the arms of your comely cousin there! ApolloWithZeus01 Apollo (Apollo_0089): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, greetings, honored Cousin! I'm here now with none other than the bringer of thunder and lightning, magnanimous King of Olympus, your great Lord Uncle and my illustrious father, Zeus! Zeus (Zeus_0100): Oh, {#Emph}haha{#Prev}, my niece and I are well past such a level of formality, my son! Though while we have the pleasure of her company, what say we show her how we put the {#Emph}light {#Prev}into {#Emph}lightning? ArachneAboutArtemis01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1490): Hey, I don't suppose you happened to see a woodsy goddess stalking through? Greenish attire, wielding a bow about her height? Arachne (Arachne_0061): I know which one you mean, my friend, and I know she's been nosing about. As a rule, I stay away from goddesses like {#Emph}that. {#Prev}Even if they are your kin. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1491): Goddesses like what? You make it sound as though you fear Olympus more than you fear Chronos himself. Arachne (Arachne_0062): Oh, I {#Emph}do. {#Prev}It's not Chronos that made me this way; if anything I've grown more used to it with time. Now, go find your woodsy goddess. And be careful not to lead her here, all right? ArachneAboutBrawlers01 Arachne (Arachne_0124): I liked it better when there weren't all those Wastrels around here. I think they lost their way before they died. Now that they're all long gone... we get to see them for exactly what they are, don't we now? ArachneAboutCatFamiliar01 Arachne (Arachne_0131): Is that {#Emph}your {#Prev}cat, my friend? I don't much care for how it's giving me the {#Emph}eye. {#Prev}Good thing I'm way up here, {#Emph}haha! {#Prev}Though wait... can't those things {#Emph}climb? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1805): Don't worry, this is Toula, my familiar. And she'll keep her feline instincts well in check around Arachne, won't you, girl? Arachne (Arachne_0132): I used to love cats... they just don't get on with me quite like they used to. For obvious reasons, I suppose... ArachneAboutCharon01 Arachne (Arachne_0059): The other night, I saw you having conversation with the old Boatman who's been showing up more frequently of late. How's he doing, anyway? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1788): Lord Charon takes just about everything in stride. But until he's back to ferrying the dead to their final resting-places, I don't think he'll be entirely himself. Arachne (Arachne_0060): I remember when I stowed away on his little boat! He somehow spotted me amongst his cargo. Oh, I thought I was a goner! But he just kept on. Even stopped for me in Erebus, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutCocoons01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1811): You've been so busy, Arachne. Not just all these dresses, but... all Erebus is teeming with silken cocoons. You're certain it's all right for me to break them? Arachne (Arachne_0048): Of course, you big silly! What, do you suppose they're teeming with my countless brood? By the time you see a cocoon, anything in there is either {#Emph}for {#Prev}you, or was out to {#Emph}get {#Prev}you. Now, here. ArachneAboutCocoons02 Arachne (Arachne_0049): Now you don't truly think {#Emph}I {#Prev}weave all those cocoons you see out there myself, do you? I weave faster than anyone, though even {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}not that quick...! Melinoe (Melinoe_1812): That does make sense. So instead you command a massive hidden army of spiderlings, standing at the ready to do your bidding? Arachne (Arachne_0050): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}no, most of them hang upside-down rather than stand. {#Emph}Khh, {#Prev}come now! I'm not the only spider in the woods! The others keep to themselves. But they do listen {#Emph}sometimes{#Prev}, I suppose, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutCurse01 Arachne (Arachne_0089): My friend, I truly hate to ask, but you don't suppose... knowing your craft, you don't suppose there might still be some way to turn me back into myself again, do you? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1790): Arachne... I've tried everything I know. This curse of metamorphosis upon you, it's... well, it's extremely powerful. Such change is irreversible as far as I can tell. I'm sorry. Arachne (Arachne_0090): That's quite all right. Just figured I would ask. Such curses wouldn't be much good if they could just be waved away, now, would they? {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutCurse02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1791): Arachne, I... I wasn't entirely forthright with you before, about your curse. Theoretically, there is a way that it can be undone. But it is unlikely to work, and shall be very dangerous. Arachne (Arachne_0091): {#Emph}What? {#Prev}I don't care what it takes, you have to tell me, my friend, {#Emph}please! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1792): First, we must discover the source of the curse; Athena is no enchantress. Someone aided her. And second... Athena herself must change her original intent. She has to want this. Arachne (Arachne_0092): But she {#Emph}despises {#Prev}me! And why would she tell anybody who provided her the curse? Oh, my friend, I almost wish you hadn't told me! Don't bother, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha. {#Prev}Hope can be such a tease... ArachneAboutCurse03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1793): Regarding your curse, Arachne... Headmistress discovered who created it. So, if you require closure on this aspect of your life... come visit at the Crossroads. But, such knowledge may be a curse all its own, so... choose carefully, please. Arachne (Arachne_0093): Oh... why... I suppose that I'll be giving that some thought! What would I even do different, knowing something like that? Give me some time... all right, my friend? ArachneAboutCurse04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1794): ...Are you all right, my friend? Arachne (Arachne_0094): I... {#Emph}yes! {#Prev}Yes, I've some new dresses for you. Here! Which one do you desire? ArachneAboutCurse05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1795): Arachne, we need to talk about what happened with Headmistress. She didn't fashion a poison expressly to ruin your life. She didn't even know you at the time. Arachne (Arachne_0095): Don't you think I know all that? But what am I supposed to do, {#Emph}thank {#Prev}her? I may be very small, my friend, but I still have my pride... and you can still have your dress. ArachneAboutCurse06 Arachne (Arachne_0096): So much talk of late about my curse! Let's just go back to how things were, what do you say? All this {#Emph}tension... {#Prev}I don't need it anymore than you. You were only trying to help. And so am I. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1796): I just want you to be well, that's all. The past has already transpired and can't be changed. But {#Emph}we {#Prev}get to decide what happens next. Arachne (Arachne_0097): Perhaps we do! Either we or the Fates, I suppose. Thank you for listening to me, my friend. And you be well yourself, all right? ArachneAboutCurseQuest01 Arachne (Arachne_0389): Turns out, apologizing to Athena just isn't for me, my friend. However, I apologize to you. For making you go out of your way... making a scene in front of another goddess. Sorry. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4396): ...Oh, Arachne. I'd have rather you said that to Lady Athena and gotten what you desired. I doubt you'll have another opportunity. Arachne (Arachne_0390): It's quite all right. When I saw Athena again, all battle-weary but same as ever, something in me snapped. And now I'm free! You gods have been having a time... turns out you face the consequences of your pride, same as any of us. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4397): ...I suppose you're right. You really told her off! I still can scarcely believe it. Including that she spared you after all. Arachne (Arachne_0391): Well, you know. I always had a touch of temper on me. Feels good to let it all out once in a while, come what may! And I've been weaving like there's no tomorrow since. ArachneAboutFogEmitters01 Arachne (Arachne_0127): Not seen too many Shadow-Spillers hereabouts! Good thing, since it's been plenty dark such as it is. How so many souls manage getting themselves {#Emph}tangled up {#Prev}like that, I never want to know... ArachneAboutFood01 Arachne (Arachne_0067): You must be famished! Might I interest you in a little sustenance? And I do mean {#Emph}little, hahaha! {#Prev}I have a fresh batch here if you'd like to try them! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1486): Oh! No thank you, Arachne. I... have no appetite at all. And I'm not much for eating animals, even insects. Although I'm certain your flies are very delicious. Arachne (Arachne_0068): They {#Emph}are! {#Prev}A touch of an acquired taste, I know. But I got used to them much faster than just about any other aspect of this life. {#Emph}Ah {#Prev}well! Your loss, I'm sure. ArachneAboutFrogFamiliar01 Arachne (Arachne_0129): {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}No, wha-what is that? An amphibian?! Do get it out of here, my friend! {#Emph}Please {#Prev}help me get it out! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1804): Steady yourself, Arachne. This is Frinos! Frinos is a friend; a Familiar friend of mine, in fact. He means you no harm at all. Your stash of flies, however... that we may need to safeguard. Arachne (Arachne_0130): Oh, {#Emph}haha, ah {#Prev}that is a {#Emph}relief! {#Prev}Well, then, {#Emph}Frinos... {#Prev}if indeed you are a friend, then you are welcome here. And if you'd like a bite to eat, then you are {#Emph}more {#Prev}than welcome to that, too. ArachneAboutGods01 Arachne (Arachne_0069): So then the gods above are helping you, aren't they? Though why do I even ask, I already know. I've seen these woods light up with all their multicolored messages... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1776): It's true. Olympus and I share a common goal, for the Titan of Time threatens us all. I should have told you, it's just... I didn't know what to say. Arachne (Arachne_0070): {#Emph}Hah, ha ha ha ha{#Prev}... so the Fates got me {#Emph}again. {#Prev}I may be a better weaver than all the gods combined, but those three beat me {#Emph}every time. {#Prev}Though don't worry! I won't turn my abdomen on you. Even if the gods will benefit... ArachneAboutGods02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1777): You seem distant, Arachne. Is everything all right? Is this about my aiding the Olympians? Arachne (Arachne_0071): {#Emph}Ah, hahaha... {#Prev}wait. What do you mean {#Emph}you're {#Prev}aiding the Olympians? I thought you said it was the other way around! They're helping {#Emph}you! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1778): Same difference, isn't it? A mutual exchange. Like a friendship! There must be reciprocity. But, I know this puts you in a terrible position, and... I would never take your support for granted. Arachne (Arachne_0072): Well! You may know {#Emph}all {#Prev}about the gods, more than I. But it seems you have a thing or two to learn still when it comes to {#Emph}friendship. {#Prev}Even a little old spider knows that! Now have a dress. ArachneAboutGods03 Arachne (Arachne_0073): I know you don't know what to say, my friend. But I want you to know... you don't have to say anything at all! In fact, I'd rather that you didn't right now. Be safe out there, all right? ArachneAboutGods04 Arachne (Arachne_0074): Another evening where you're forced to do the bidding of the gods? It's not a {#Emph}partnership {#Prev}you've got with them, you know. They'll tolerate you just as long as they think you're {#Emph}inferior {#Prev}to them. Now, here. Take this and go. ArachneAboutGods05 Arachne (Arachne_0075): You know the gods did this to me, don't you? Although I shouldn't say {#Emph}the {#Prev}gods. Was truly just the one. But the others... they didn't {#Emph}care. {#Prev}They were complicit in the whole thing! It was as though {#Emph}I {#Prev}was a spider to them all along. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1779): Arachne... the gods could be kinder to mortals. You'll hear no argument from me on that. I've a certain point of view on it, myself. Most mortals I've met... they've all been dead. Arachne (Arachne_0076): Yet you abide Olympus anyhow! I understand, I do. They're family. And that's one thing we can never change... not really. Although the Titan whom you're up against... isn't he family, too? {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutGods06 Arachne (Arachne_0077): So what's she truly like? {#Emph}Gray-eyed Athena. {#Prev}As wise and calculating as they say? {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha... {#Prev}to think she's supposedly the {#Emph}sensible {#Prev}one. She's just as cruel and vindictive as the rest... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1780): I wouldn't know. I've heard from most of the Olympians by now, but not Athena. Sounds like she's got her hands full, holding back the Titan's armies gathered at the mountain's base. Arachne (Arachne_0078): How very noble of her! If you meet eventually, you'll have to tell me how she is. And do feel free to let her know Arachne's still alive and well, and weaving even {#Emph}better {#Prev}than before. ArachneAboutGods06_B Arachne (Arachne_0077_B): So what's she truly like? {#Emph}Gray-eyed Athena. {#Prev}As wise and calculating as they say? {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha... {#Prev}to think she's supposedly the {#Emph}sensible {#Prev}one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2721): I... don't hear from her quite like most of the rest. She must really have her hands full, holding back the Titan's armies gathered at the mountain's base. Arachne (Arachne_0078_B): How very noble of her! Do feel free to let her know Arachne's still alive and well, and weaving even {#Emph}better {#Prev}than before. ArachneAboutGuards01 Arachne (Arachne_0122): Those Whispers that you see floating about... it's just what happens when a Shade gets caught up in the trees. In time, they can't tell where the branches end and they begin. They're angry, sure. But not with {#Emph}you{#Prev}, my friend. ArachneAboutHecate01 Arachne (Arachne_0055): Saw you get into a scuffle with the great big witch. Why are you fighting? I thought you were on the same side! {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, I can hardly keep up with everything lately. Melinoe (Melinoe_1813): Headmistress and I aren't really fighting. Well... no, I suppose we are, except it isn't born of anger, or misunderstanding. It's just her way of making certain I'm prepared. Arachne (Arachne_0056): {#Emph}Huh. {#Prev}Well look, you show her for me the next chance you get, won't you, my friend? And no pressure! But I might be watching just in case. I won't get underfoot, I promise. ArachneAboutHecate02 Arachne (Arachne_0057): How fares the big witch, by the by, my friend? I often see her in these woods! And every now and then, she says hello. Makes time for little old Arachne. How {#Emph}ungodlike {#Prev}of her, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1787): Headmistress seems as steady as can be. It's strange... her confidence in my ability is one of the greatest sources of pressure that I feel. Although, I can't exactly tell her that... Arachne (Arachne_0058): And whyever not? I'd always want to hear the honest truth from you. She's a smart one, no? Likely she knows that something's off. You ought to have a little {#Emph}chat{#Prev}, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutKeepsake01 Arachne (Arachne_0119): Why, that's the Sash I gave to you! Isn't it so very soft? May it help keep you warm and safe, wherever your journeys may take you. Now, {#Emph}here's {#Prev}a little something to match... ArachneAboutLair01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1809): Are you sure you're all right here? I can scarce go fifty paces in these woods without having to defend myself. Arachne (Arachne_0040): I'm comfortable alone. I have my little lair, I've sustenance, and I have my weaving! I no longer even need a loom and thread. I'm grateful. And, I do so appreciate you visiting! Come back again, won't you? ArachneAboutMages01 Arachne (Arachne_0125): How many Caskets have you had to fend aside, do you suppose? First sign of anything that breathes, and they flock to it like it's going out of style. And, always with the {#Emph}spitting! {#Prev}At least I'm much too small for them to see. ArachneAboutMines01 Arachne (Arachne_0121): Sorry for all those silk-bombs out there, by the by! All these caustic little mud bubbles I try to wrap up and simmer down. But, if you pop them early, they go up like a moth in a flame, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutOceanus01 Arachne (Arachne_0085): These woods have changed an awful lot of late. Sometimes I think of moving out of here. I understand it gets all cold and damp as you head farther down? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1789): There is a path I know that passes through the edge of Oceanus, where the bottom of the sea and the Underworld meet. No trees, only... strange tubes of metal... brine. Arachne (Arachne_0086): Sounds like a real change of pace! Don't think I'd like it quite as much without my trees. But {#Emph}metal tubes? {#Prev}Could hang my webs on those...! Ah well... a dream's a dream, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutOutfits01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1810): Arachne, the outfit you wove for me was so beautiful. I'm sorry to say I got into a bit of a scrape or two... and I'm afraid it didn't survive. Arachne (Arachne_0041): Oh, {#Emph}hah{#Prev}, that's quite all right, silly! It wasn't made to last. What is? It was made to be in the moment with {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Now here, I've plenty more. ArachneAboutPay01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1786): There must be something I can do to repay you for all your hard work. We live modestly in the Crossroads, though we're not without our sources of supplies. Whatever you need, name it. Arachne (Arachne_0043): Well that's rather forward of you, my friend, and I appreciate it, truly. Whatever I need, huh. I'll have to give a little thought to that! But right now, I need for you to decide which of these dresses you like, and try it on. ArachneAboutPride01 Arachne (Arachne_0079): Should I have held back? When I was challenged by the gods themselves? To decide who was the {#Emph}greatest {#Prev}weaver of all. I was just a mortal girl. Can you imagine the pressure? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1781): I wouldn't have held back either, in your place. When our limits are put to the test... only then can we discover who we really are. Arachne (Arachne_0080): All I discovered was I ceased being a mortal girl anymore. You should have {#Emph}seen {#Prev}the masterpiece I made! Athena's little {#Emph}tapestry {#Prev}wasn't even close. Maybe it was worth it... my humiliation in exchange for hers... ArachneAboutQuiet01 Arachne (Arachne_0366): It gets so quiet in these woods. The sound of my weaving, why, it's practically silent... might as well just be the rush of the leaves. So I sing a little to myself. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4389): The woods may be quiet but they're filled with restless spirits. You're like a ray of moonlight in the middle of it all. Arachne (Arachne_0367): Well that is kind of you to say. Though moonlight doesn't come in quite so many different colors as my silk, does it? ArachneAboutRadiators01 Arachne (Arachne_0123): Shades of all sorts wind up in here, you know. Those little Spindles all throughout this place... I don't know what they even were when they drew breath. All I know is that they died before their time. Well, so it goes, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutRelationship01 Arachne (Arachne_0083): I never truly stopped to think how much alike we are, the two of us. Both outcasts, aren't we? You should be living in a {#Emph}palace! {#Prev}Not... talking to a {#Emph}spider {#Prev}in the middle of nowhere. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1783): And you should be the most-renowned, most-beloved weaver in all the land! But that isn't what the Fates had in store for us. Although... it's not all bad, is it? Arachne (Arachne_0084): It isn't? It... isn't. Because if I was still up there... the envy of gods and mortals alike... I wouldn't have met {#Emph}you. {#Prev}My one true friend. {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutRelationship02 Arachne (Arachne_0116): About last time... I know that there are others in your life, whom you care about. And that makes me glad. You should feel {#Emph}loved! {#Prev}A lot! But look at {#Emph}me... {#Prev}all I can do a lot is {#Emph}weave. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1803): Your size has nothing to do with the love you can give. But how you feel about yourself... it must affect the love you can receive. Whether you can believe it to be true. Arachne (Arachne_0117): You make me feel how I used to feel. And back then...? Back when I used to be myself? You know, we mortals could be {#Emph}just {#Prev}as jealous as the gods. But knowing that you care for me even a little bit, why... it's more than enough. Here, go... ArachneAboutRelationship03 Arachne (Arachne_0392): I've kept on thinking, my friend... about how I've been drawn to you. Like a fly to one of my webs... except I mean to catch {#Emph}them{#Prev}, and I don't think you've meant to do the same to me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4398): Of course I haven't meant to {#Emph}catch {#Prev}you, Arachne. It's as I said... I think we've helped keep each other company in these lonesome woods, but... is there... something more? Arachne (Arachne_0393): I... I don't think so, no. Not while I'm the way I am. The girl I {#Emph}used {#Prev}to be, why... she may have been mortal, but she was a {#Emph}lot {#Prev}better than this, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutRelationship04 Arachne (Arachne_0394): Lately, when I'd long to be a girl again, my friend... I think it was in part because I liked the thought that I could be with you. You know, like in a normal way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4399): Arachne, what we have is special. Even if I met the mortal girl you once were, I'd likely not have taken notice in the same way. Mortal Shades are commonplace... you're not. Arachne (Arachne_0395): I do appreciate you saying that. Back when I gave Athena a piece of my mind... I knew I was giving something up. But it was just a fantasy, while {#Emph}we {#Prev}have something {#Emph}real. ArachneAboutSayingLittle01 Arachne (Arachne_0445): It's been so nice seeing you here. I have been weaving up a storm, so please stop by as often as you like, all right? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4424): I wouldn't miss it. My nights aren't always pleasant, but you and your silken dresses are! Arachne (Arachne_0446): Well thank you for that, truly. Now go on, I don't want to keep you. Well I do but, you know what I mean, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha ha. ArachneAboutSelf01 Arachne (Arachne_0036): ...Don't, my friend. Just, you don't need to look at me like that. You don't need to look at me at all! Look at the fineries I've made! Silk in every shape and color, see? It's beautiful, isn't it? Melinoe (Melinoe_1807): It is, Arachne, but... to think I could have wronged you with an inadvertent glance just now. It's just I'm concerned for your safety out here. Arachne (Arachne_0037): Oh there's no need for that. You see, my form included certain benefits. I get to live a {#Emph}long{#Prev}, long time to enjoy it. Besides, just because {#Emph}you {#Prev}found me here, doesn't mean just anybody can. ArachneAboutSelf02 Arachne (Arachne_0038): I don't remember, anymore, what it was like... having two legs. Only the two. I'm hideous, I know, but... I don't fall over myself like I once did. It's second nature now, scurrying about. Melinoe (Melinoe_1808): Don't speak that way! My task would go much faster if I had legs like yours, Arachne. Arachne (Arachne_0039): Save your pity for another soul, my friend. Now then! I've saved some of my {#Emph}softest {#Prev}silk for {#Emph}you. ArachneAboutSiegeVines01 Arachne (Arachne_0126): Do watch for Thorn-Weepers out there. Thank goodness for my webs, as I can stay up high where all those nasty vines of theirs can't reach. But as for {#Emph}you{#Prev}, you're easy pickings, bare feet and all... ArachneAboutSilk01 Arachne (Arachne_0034): My silk is everything to me! It's stronger than it looks. Keeps me safe! It can suffocate even the strongest prey. Don't you like it? Is there a certain pattern-color combination you admire? Melinoe (Melinoe_1806): It's lovely, Arachne. Look, I wish I could stay and admire it, but... Arachne (Arachne_0035): ...But you can't. I understand, I truly do. Though it {#Emph}would {#Prev}mean a lot to me if you would take some of my silk with you on your way. ArachneAboutSilk02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1785): Your silk is so luxurious, and the enchantments on the thread are strong. Arachne, it's incredible, really. You know that, right? Arachne (Arachne_0042): Of course I know, my friend. While I may not be quite as strong as you, for my size, I'm something else. And I don't tire easily! As for the rest... trade secret, {#Emph}hah, ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutSpiders01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1487): You're always here all by yourself. The woods are filled with spiders... don't you ever get together, something like that? Make great big webs you couldn't on your own? Arachne (Arachne_0368): Well I suppose we certainly could. It's just, I happen to {#Emph}hate {#Prev}spiders. Near as I can tell, all spiders do. Weaving's a solitary exercise, and besides... I much prefer {#Emph}your {#Prev}company. ArachneAboutSpiders02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1488): I... for what it's worth, I never have disliked spiders, myself. They keep the woods free of pests. And what would this place be without their webs? Arachne (Arachne_0052): Thank you, my friend. I know you mean well when you say such things. If it makes you feel any better, I don't just hate what {#Emph}I've {#Prev}become. You gods... I hate you, too. {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutSpiders03 Arachne (Arachne_0053): You know the thing about spiders, my friend, it's that... well, they're my kin. My own brood, you see. But they're {#Emph}ungrateful {#Prev}rascals to the last! They want nothing to do with me at all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1489): Your own brood...! You were the very first. But, how did you, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}wouldn't you have needed...? Arachne (Arachne_0054): A {#Emph}mate? {#Prev}Oh, he didn't stick around. So you see, this curse isn't just {#Emph}mine. {#Prev}It's for generations still to come. Perhaps we spiders aren't so different from you gods. {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutSurface01 Arachne (Arachne_0087): Where have you been lately, my friend? I'd grown so well-accustomed to you visiting these woods that, when you didn't show up for a night or two, why... I became a touch concerned is all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1784): I'm sorry that I worried you. My task requires that I head up to the surface now, as well as down below. It's a big adjustment for me there. Arachne (Arachne_0088): You went {#Emph}that {#Prev}way? {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha{#Prev}, I don't so much as miss it anymore, where I came from. Well, you must know your way around. But if you need a local's point of view, you need but ask. ArachneAboutTreants01 Arachne (Arachne_0128): You must have seen more than your share of Root-Stalkers by now. It's fortunate for me that they mostly like to stay put, so I can keep out of their way. But you're bigger, and you can't just slip by, huh...? ArachneAboutTrees01 Arachne (Arachne_0081): It's mostly quiet in these woods. Lost Souls keep to themselves most of the time. So I listen to the trees... they're {#Emph}tall{#Prev}, and {#Emph}wise{#Prev}, and {#Emph}older {#Prev}than the ones where I come from... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1782): Growing up, I always listened to the whisper of the woods as well! In some respects, it reminds me of the spirits inhabiting this place. Their voices cannot easily be heard. Arachne (Arachne_0082): But they {#Emph}can {#Prev}be heard, can't they. I'm not imagining it, when I hear them call to me and comfort me? Though there's no need to answer that! For certain things, I'd rather not be sure. ArachneAboutUltimateProgress01 Arachne (Arachne_0432): Have you been getting anywhere, my friend? I know that, whatever you do, you do {#Emph}not {#Prev}give up. But I don't rightly know how close you are to what you mean to achieve. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4414): I'm closer than before, but how much further I have left is difficult to say. Your silk has been of so much help! Arachne (Arachne_0433): I'm glad it has and figured that it would. Only the {#Emph}very {#Prev}best for {#Emph}you{#Prev}. And one of these nights, you'll make it {#Emph}all {#Prev}the way. And maybe with my silk, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha ha... ArachneAboutWeaving01 Arachne (Arachne_0044): I loved to weave since I was very small. My father, he would make the richest dyes... reds like the setting sun, blues as deep as the sea, and {#Emph}oh{#Prev}, the {#Emph}purples! {#Prev}I wanted to make fabric worthy of such colors as those... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1484): And now you do. You have extraordinary talent. How long did it take to get so proficient? I've practiced my craft all my life though still fall short of my goals far too often... Arachne (Arachne_0045): You'll get to where you need to be, my friend. I see how hard you work! As for me, as a young woman, I was already quite good. But truth be told, I'm even better now that I'm like this. A blessing... and a curse, {#Emph}ha ha ha... ArachneAboutWeaving02 Arachne (Arachne_0046): All I wanted was to have a little shoppe. {#Emph}Arachne's Garments, Dyes, and Fabrics! {#Prev}Not the catchiest of names, now that I sound it out. But our reputation would have been impeccable. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1485): I know it's not what you imagined... but you've a loyal customer in me. Although, the part where you ask nothing for your services does make me feel a bit guilty, I suppose. Arachne (Arachne_0047): Don't even start with that! My weavings and my garments aren't just for show, they're practical evening-wear! {#Emph}You{#Prev}, my friend, are helping them fulfill their life's purpose, {#Emph}ha ha ha... ArachneChat01 Arachne (Arachne_0004): Surely you saw some of the weavings I've been working on along the way? ArachneChat02 Arachne (Arachne_0005): I'm so grateful that you're here! Please make yourself at home. ArachneChat03 Arachne (Arachne_0006): I know there's not much I can do to help, but here. ArachneChat04 Arachne (Arachne_0007): It's always so nice to see you. You do know that, don't you? ArachneChat05 Arachne (Arachne_0008): Just watch your step out there as best you can, all right? {#Emph}Hm hm hm hm hm... ArachneChat06 Arachne (Arachne_0009): I wove each of these with love and care for {#Emph}just {#Prev}such an evening! ArachneChat07 Arachne (Arachne_0010): Oh, don't worry about all those webs. I was going to replace them anyhow! ArachneChat08 Arachne (Arachne_0011): I want you looking your {#Emph}very {#Prev}best out there tonight, my friend. ArachneChat09 Arachne (Arachne_0012): My latest fits are light as a feather, and sturdy as silver, you'll see! ArachneChat10 Arachne (Arachne_0013): Welcome back to {#Emph}Arachne's Garments, Dyes, and Fabrics! {#Prev}How may I be of service? ArachneChat11 Arachne (Arachne_0014): Thank you for visiting {#Emph}Arachne's Garments, Dyes, and Fabrics! {#Prev}Please come again! ArachneChat12 Arachne (Arachne_0015): Well, if it isn't my favorite customer! What might I do for you this eve? ArachneChat13 Arachne (Arachne_0016): I know you can't stay for long... but it's wonderful to see you here, my friend. ArachneChat14 Arachne (Arachne_0017): I've plenty of these freshly woven garments here from which to choose! ArachneChat15 Arachne (Arachne_0018): My silk is stronger than it looks, so may it help to keep you safe out there. ArachneChat16 Arachne (Arachne_0019): You look absolutely stunning dressed in silk, you know that, right? ArachneChat17 Arachne (Arachne_0020): Do try one of these on for size, my friend, then I'll get out of your hair. ArachneChat18 Arachne (Arachne_0021): I know my little lair is a bit out of your way, so thanks for visiting me here. ArachneChat19 Arachne (Arachne_0022): You sure you wouldn't like to try a couple flies? They're fresh! ArachneChat20 Arachne (Arachne_0023): So, do you... see anything you like? {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha... ArachneChat21 Arachne (Arachne_0024): Oh, do watch for some of my cocoons out there! I packed them just for you. ArachneChat22 Arachne (Arachne_0025): You won't find higher-quality silk anywhere above the surface or below. ArachneChat23 Arachne (Arachne_0026): Oh, I miss you already. You'll come back soon, won't you? ArachneChat24 Arachne (Arachne_0027): Seeing you under the light of the full moon, why, it just takes my breath away. ArachneChat25 Arachne (Arachne_0028): I thought I heard you softly moving through the trees, and now you're here! ArachneChat26 Arachne (Arachne_0029): If only there was more that I could do for you, my friend... ArachneChat27 Arachne (Arachne_0030): It must be very difficult for you right now, but do take heart, all right? ArachneChat28 Arachne (Arachne_0031): Promise you'll let me know if this is anything short of a perfect fit. ArachneChat29 Arachne (Arachne_0032): They always said my silk was like a warm embrace, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... ArachneChat30 Arachne (Arachne_0033): I won't have you going out in anything less than the very best. ArachneCurseQuest01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4390): Arachne, now that we know Headmistress Hecate had a hand in your curse, there is some possibility we can persuade Athena to undo it. Or rather, you could. Arachne (Arachne_0379): Why don't you humor me some more with this, my friend. What exactly do you have in mind? Olympus is a bit of a climb from here... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4391): I've a more convenient means in mind: a certain Amulet that I can use to briefly summon her. If it's all right with you, then she can join us here, and you can make your plea. Arachne (Arachne_0380): What would I even say? But... {#Emph}oh{#Prev}, I'll certainly give it some thought. Next time you have that Amulet, then I {#Emph}might {#Prev}take you up on that. Thank you. ArachneCurseQuestComplete01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4392): I have Athena's Amulet, Arachne. Would you be willing to confront her now? Just, speak to how you've changed, how you wish to have your old self back! Whatever she requires. Arachne (Arachne_0381): I'll... I'll do what I have to do, my friend. Now, if you could bring forth the goddess of wisdom, I'd be much obliged. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4393): Very well, here goes. And whatever happens, I'll be right here. {#Emph}Heed now my voice, Lady Athena; one who has sought you is with me! Athena (Athena_0249): Hail, Melinoë. {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, these woods. And sure enough there's the World's Most Talented Weaver herself. Still plying your trade, Arachne? Arachne (Arachne_0382): I most certainly am, Lady Athena! What else would I be doing? Even if I were still the mortal girl I once was, I imagine I'd have stuck with it. And you, how have you been? Athena (Athena_0250): Fully occupied. I cannot remain for long, for that reason and more, so what is it? You've grown tired of your form? Arachne (Arachne_0383): Well I do miss my old shape and size, and... I've been like this for a while, so... I thought maybe you could turn me back. I'd do anything, please. Athena (Athena_0251): {#Emph}Anything? {#Prev}Then I've a simple-enough request: Apologize for what you did in all sincerity, and tell me what you've learned. Arachne (Arachne_0384): Oh, why, sure... {#Emph}um{#Prev}, I'm... I'm sorry, Lady Athena. Truly sorry. Sorry that I would... debase myself in front of you like this! In front of my own friend! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4394): {#Emph}Arachne! {#Prev}Please, Lady Athena, she's upset and hasn't thought this through. I know how sorrowful she is. Arachne (Arachne_0385): Stay out of this, my friend. As for {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Lady Athena, you want to know what I learned? Athena (Athena_0252): I caution you to measure your words with care, spider. I did not travel all this way to be the object of your ridicule. Arachne (Arachne_0386): ...I learned, just now, that I'll {#Emph}never {#Prev}apologize to you {#Emph}in all sincerity. {#Prev}I'd sooner be a lowly spider till the end of time. And look upon my works! I can {#Emph}still {#Prev}weave better than you. Athena (Athena_0253): ...I suppose you think this outburst moved me in some way, and that I'll now grant your desire? No. You may appear worse off, but you clearly haven't changed at all, Arachne. Arachne (Arachne_0387): Neither have you. Now either go on and squash me like I know you want to, or be on your way. You're scaring the flies. Athena (Athena_0254): Fine. I'll take my leave, and we shall never see each other again. Enjoy the feast of flies. Melinoë? This was a mistake. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4395): Arachne... why did you do that? We went through so much for this one chance, and now it's gone! Arachne (Arachne_0388): No, my friend. That was the chance I had been waiting for. I just didn't realize it till I looked Athena in the eyes again. Now, {#Emph}shoo. {#Prev}I've kept you long enough. {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha... ArachneFirstMeeting Arachne (Arachne_0002): What are you doing here? Besides tramping all over my webs, that is! Oh, it's nothing, silly. I can always make more perfectly good silk! I can't always see you. Melinoe (Melinoe_0636): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, hi, Arachne. Sorry about all this! I think we'll soon be seeing more of one another, now. My task has begun. Arachne (Arachne_0003): Truly? Why then, I'll get out of your hair, you have to go. But first, you {#Emph}have {#Prev}to try on one of these. And don't worry about any wear-and-tear! I've plenty more in stock, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... ArachneGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1606): Each time I pass through Erebus, it's comforting to know I may run into you along the way. Here's something for your lovely lair. Arachne (Arachne_0106): Oh, why this is very sweet! It should attract a host of flies, I think, so thank you, very, {#Emph}very {#Prev}much! Now won't you please take this? It's only fair...! ArachneGift02 Arachne (Arachne_0107): Wait, is this what I think it is? Oh, {#Emph}no{#Prev}, I shouldn't, not again. Weaving silken fineries for somebody such as you truly is an honor and its own reward! Besides, this stuff is for the gods... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1797): The gods may often be the ones indulging in this stuff, but it's not just for them. It's for you! For those whom we regard as friends. ArachneGift03 Arachne (Arachne_0108): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, you're much too kind to me! I'm only doing what anybody would be doing in my place, but {#Emph}you? {#Prev}You're treating me like royalty! This Nectar... I tried a touch of it before. It's too good for flies... or spiders. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1798): Too good for flies, perhaps. But it's especially for {#Emph}you. {#Prev}A gift of friendship, whose savor only grows the deeper the friendship is. May it warm you on a cold night such as this. ArachneGift04 Arachne (Arachne_0109): Come now, this is all too much! If I were still myself, why, I'd be blushing from my cheeks to my toes. It's just... it's been so long since anybody got me anything, you know? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1799): I like getting you such things, Arachne. It makes me so unhappy, sometimes, seeing you all by yourself like this. I can never stay for long... so perhaps this Nectar can remind you of the pleasant times we share, when I'm not around. Arachne (Arachne_0110): It most certainly shall. I won't forget your kindness. ArachneGift05 Arachne (Arachne_0111): {#Emph}Ha ha ha ha{#Prev}, I don't mean to be rude, it's just... {#Emph}imagine {#Prev}what the gods above would think, seeing their {#Emph}proudest {#Prev}tradition used to honor the {#Emph}lowliest {#Prev}of creatures in this world. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1800): You're not lowly! You're a magnificent talent. A beautiful voice. A trusted friend. I don't know anybody like you, Arachne! And I'm glad you're {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Exactly as you are. I mean it. Arachne (Arachne_0112): I... why, I'm — I'm very flattered you would feel that way... it's just... it's too bad you never knew me in my prime, you know? {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, but what am I saying, I'm just... {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... ArachneGift06 Arachne (Arachne_0113): I know you're doing this just to be kind, my friend, except... the heart does what it wants, and... I, well... I'm concerned I'm beginning to take it the wrong way! I like being alone, I do... but I get lonely still, from time to time. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1801): I get lonely, too. But when I'm here, with you in your lovely little lair, I feel... oh I don't know, I... just want you to be happier! Perhaps it's as you said; the heart does what it wants. Arachne (Arachne_0114): Oh, your poor heart, if all it wants is {#Emph}this! {#Prev}You're a goddess... positively sublime, you realize? You must have a dozen others falling over themselves just to win your affection! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1802): Even if there were. My other relationships... none of them is any substitute for the one I have with you. Arachne (Arachne_0115): I see... {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... ArachneGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4400): I wanted you to have this: The Ambrosia of the gods. You have our talent, and you even have our pride. I figure, what's one more of our greatest gifts? Arachne (Arachne_0396): Ambrosia... you'll soon spoil me like this, you big silly! What am I going to do with so much? I'll be sipping away forever! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4401): Forever's a long time. And, ideally this is for sharing anyhow. Perhaps for the eventual grand opening of your shoppe! Arachne (Arachne_0397): Now {#Emph}there's {#Prev}an idea. Well then, I ought to store this safe and sound, and know {#Emph}just {#Prev}the way... wrapped in the finest silk. ArachneGift08 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4402): Here's to the success of Arachne's Garments, Dyes, and Fabrics, whenever the time comes. I find it helps always having something to look forward to, even if it's a way off. Arachne (Arachne_0398): Why this is very gracious of you, my friend, and I'd embrace you if I could only reach, and you were so willing, but... I'd best appreciate you from afar. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4403): But I'm not far; I'm here. And I want you to know, I'm glad you haven't changed. If you did... I might have lost you. Arachne (Arachne_0399): You'd sooner lose me now since I {#Emph}am {#Prev}rather small! But thank you, truly. I used to think you were just saying things to pity me but now I know you're not. ArachneGift09 Arachne (Arachne_0400): No more Ambrosia, {#Emph}please{#Prev}, my friend. I'm running out of room! And you have given little old me more than enough. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4404): Of course, but... perhaps the two of us could share some at some point. Even now...? Since you {#Emph}are {#Prev}running out of room. Arachne (Arachne_0401): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}Well if you're not too busy, I would truly welcome that. Care to pop the bottle? The cap's a little tight for me... Arachne (Arachne_0402): ...You've been so gracious with your time and with your love. Most mortals hate spiders... can't imagine most of you goddesses or gods feel any different. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4405): It's commonplace to fear what we don't understand. I'm a witch; we get that a lot. Perhaps that's why I felt connected to you from the start. Arachne (Arachne_0403): You felt connected to me because you {#Emph}stepped {#Prev}on me, my friend! Good thing you heard me screaming my head off. That was not the greatest way to meet... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4406): Perhaps not, but I'd say it worked out. And I've not stepped on you ever again, have I? Arachne (Arachne_0404): Well, no, you haven't, I suppose. Say, this Ambrosia, it is {#Emph}really {#Prev}something else! And a little goes a long way! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4407): Right? I'm glad you're enjoying it. It's always best with those you care about, and this is clearly a good batch. Arachne (Arachne_0405): You really do care about me, {#Emph}huh. {#Prev}For the longest time I just wouldn't let myself believe it. But now you {#Emph}know {#Prev}I'm never turning back, and you're still you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4408): I wouldn't know who else to be. What about you? If you could be anything or anybody else, what would you choose? Arachne (Arachne_0406): Why, I... well I'd choose to be the greatest weaver that the world has ever known, is what. I'm choosing that right now. Arachne (Arachne_0407): That was truly wonderful, my friend. Thank you so much, for being here with me. For everything. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4410): Of course. You're my friend, too. ArachneGrantsReward01 Arachne (Arachne_0120): All right, my friend, the time has come to unveil my latest designs; woven with care, especially for you! {#Emph}Behold! {#Prev}And more importantly, enjoy! ArachneHubFirstMeeting01 Arachne (Arachne_0065): Oh, hello there, my friend! I happened to see the Boatman sculling down the Cocytus, presumably to {#Emph}you{#Prev}, for he had all {#Emph}sorts {#Prev}of supplies. He was generous enough to offer me passage. Whether he knew it or not, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha... Melinoe (Melinoe_3141): Great to see you here and welcome, Arachne! I'm certain Charon doesn't mind such a courteous stowaway. Is there anything we can do to make your stay with us more comfortable? Arachne (Arachne_0066): No, thank you. I don't intend to be here very long. Especially since the Boatman is my ticket home. I'll just make certain all my silk here is patched up, and then be on my way. Be well, won't you? Melinoe (Melinoe_3142): You, too... ArachneHubGreeting.VoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_1092): Arachne! Arachne (Arachne_0144): Good evening! ArachneLowHealth01 Arachne (Arachne_0118): Oh no, you're hurt, my friend! And with such a long journey still ahead. Though don't you fret! My silk will make you feel as good as new. ArachnePostEpilogue01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4418): You might not believe this, Arachne, but recently I met the Fates themselves! All three of them! Arachne (Arachne_0439): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}you did, did you? And, did you happen to see what they were working on? I like to keep up with the latest happenings in the weaving world. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4419): Well if anything I got the sense that they were in between projects, and might be weaving {#Emph}less {#Prev}from here on out... Arachne (Arachne_0440): Sounds like they {#Emph}just {#Prev}couldn't keep up. But that's all right. The old always have to make way for the young and the new! And before you get too worried that I'm speaking out of turn, I don't think they'll notice little old me, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha ha. ArachnePostEpilogue02 Arachne (Arachne_0441): I've been wondering what else the Fates had to say to you. To think that all those different strands they weave affect our lives... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4420): My impression was they're going into a sort of retirement. Leaving us to make our own decisions. I don't know if it'll feel any different than before, though. Arachne (Arachne_0442): I highly doubt it will. The kinds of choices that I've made... I don't know that anybody could have made them for me. Not even those three, {#Emph}ha ha ha ha ha. ArachnePostTrueEnding01 Arachne (Arachne_0434): We've had some goings-on here in these woods, a lot more goings-on than usual! Lost Souls all acting strange. Did something happen I should know about? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4415): Arachne, it's just that my task is finally complete! Well, for the most part. King Hades and Queen Persephone are back, and they'll soon give all the Lost Souls here a place to go. Arachne (Arachne_0435): My, but that {#Emph}is {#Prev}exciting! You {#Emph}did {#Prev}it, my friend! But then, it looks to me as though your fighting isn't over with... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4416): Not yet, and possibly not for a while. So if it's all the same to you, I may keep passing by every so often. And not just for the beautiful silk dresses, but to say hello. Arachne (Arachne_0436): Why, then, hello right back! And you are truly welcome here whenever you desire. I'm so happy for you! ArachnePostTrueEnding02 Arachne (Arachne_0437): Say, if the King and Queen are back just like you said, doesn't that mean... why, doesn't it mean you should be back in their palace, too? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4417): I grew up near to these woods and I mean to remain here for the foreseeable future. Too much I'm not ready to give up. Arachne (Arachne_0438): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, you big silly. You could have had it {#Emph}good. {#Prev}They would have given you the most {#Emph}beautiful {#Prev}dresses, I'm sure. Though maybe not more beautiful than these... ArachneWithHecateInHub01 Arachne (Arachne_0098): ...{#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, don't worry. I'll be fine! I know those woods out there like the back of my, {#Emph}um... leg{#Prev}, I do suppose! I'm always grateful for your hospitality, great Titaness. Hecate (Hecate_0545): And you are welcome here and safe, Arachne. Now I must beg your pardon. The matters that unfold of late require more of my attention than I'd like... Arachne (Arachne_0099): I truly understand. Then I'll get out of your hair. Farewell for now! Hecate (Hecate_0546): Farewell in turn. ArachneWithHecateInHub02 Arachne (Arachne_0100): ...But, this {#Emph}can't {#Prev}be.... Titaness, whatever do you mean? Because if you meant what you said, why... all those times you told me that I'm welcome here and safe... all lies, then. Is that it? Hecate (Hecate_0547): Your anger's justified. 'Twas my poison that Athena used whilst cursing you. But the curse is hers, not mine. I'd no desire that you knew {#Emph}any {#Prev}of this. Melinoë, however, swayed me against my instincts. Arachne (Arachne_0101): ...I don't know what to say. So this is {#Emph}your {#Prev}fault. Athena never could have done this to me without your {#Emph}help. {#Prev}You Titans and the gods... you're all alike. Good evening! Hecate (Hecate_0548): Arachne, be reasonable... {#Emph}ungh... AresAboutAphrodite01 Ares (Ares_0066): You know, I wouldn't offer you my blessings readily if not for fairest Aphrodite, who I see has graced you once again. You've seen the beauty in my work, and it is thanks to her. AresAboutApollo01 Ares (Ares_0150): My half-brother Apollo graced you, has he now? Whilst I pursued my one vocation, he chased flights of fancy, growing talented at many different things, yet having mastered arguably none. AresAboutArtemis01 Ares (Ares_0153): The goddess of the hunt is by her nature seldom to be seen; I've often tried persuading Artemis to use her talents on the battlefield, not merely in the woods. But she is stubborn, as perhaps you know. AresAboutAthena01 Ares (Ares_0068): My dear sister Athena has a great burden to bear, beyond that heavy suit of armor that you've seen. Not only does she manage our defenses, she must answer for the failures thereof. I trust her wisdom shall help see her through. AresAboutChronos01 Ares (Ares_0033): If our grandfather seeks war, then who am I to deny him such a thing? Neither is the irony of such a matter lost on me; I simply think we {#Emph}all {#Prev}can get what we desire. AresAboutDemeter01 Ares (Ares_0151): The goddess Demeter is known for causing crops to flourish... though, she may as easily spread famine 'cross the land. Such power is the ideal complement to mine. AresAboutDevotionTest01 Ares (Ares_0070): Our bickering over whose favor you decide on first? Pageantry, destructive and uncalled for! A war we wage within to settle our disputes. It's something of a tradition! AresAboutEphyra01 Ares (Ares_0186): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, how the city of Ephyra reeks of death! I practically can breathe the stench from here. Now only wretchedness and misery remain, all of it well beyond salvation I should think. AresAboutEris01 Ares (Ares_0059): I understand the goddess Eris hounds you quite incessantly each night that you approach. I have to say it puts me in a bit of a predicament, for Strife has benefited what I do far more than most. Yet I know that she cannot be controlled. AresAboutEris02 Ares (Ares_0060): The goddess Eris is quite unpopular up here, and I expect also where you reside. But I have certain sympathies for her, shunned as she is. We cannot change our nature; we deathless gods, we cannot even be destroyed, it seems. AresAboutEris03 Ares (Ares_0199): There is some kinship 'twixt you and the incarnate of Strife? I thought perhaps a bitter feud and nothing more. Yet you apparently see Eris as I do. We are all forces of nature, are we not? AresAboutFamily01 Ares (Ares_0063): Though I may be the firstborn son to our King and Queen, I have no greater share of influence. We all offer our counsel, but who's heeded, who can say? I'm oft reminded that, in war, diplomacy can play a vital part. AresAboutFates01 Ares (Ares_0145): I understand that the Three Fates are held against their will? I would be more concerned for them, except... perhaps this means that war itself shall finally be the sole determiner of its results...! AresAboutHades01 Ares (Ares_0045): I owe your father a great deal, for the more work I did, the more he'd have to do in turn. I trust that he valued our collaboration for his part? It hasn't been the same without him since. AresAboutHephaestus01 Ares (Ares_0067): My poor brother Hephaestus, relegated to a life of toil in a foundry... creating arms and armor that have seen such glory as he'll never see himself. At least he's been of use to {#Emph}you{#Prev}, my kin. AresAboutHera01 Ares (Ares_0065): My dear mother the Queen is careful not to show any member of the family undue favor, not even the children to whom she gave birth... I like to think that my propensity to be objective comes from her. AresAboutHeracles01 Ares (Ares_0184): You've met my mother's champion called Heracles, famed amongst mortals for his rugged skill. His club has claimed perhaps more lives than you! Though he had a head start. AresAboutHermes01 Ares (Ares_0154): A successfully conducted war requires crisp communication, for which we still depend on swift-footed Hermes. It is to be expected that he reached you first; with blessings not mere tidings, I trust. AresAboutHestia01 Ares (Ares_0152): You have inspired the reluctant Hestia to join this fight! To think her flame serves mostly to warm mortals' homes. I {#Emph}so {#Prev}wish to see her use it to its fullest potential! AresAboutKeepsake01 Ares (Ares_0035): That Sword Hilt which you bear belonged once to a warrior who spilled much other blood before his own. It is of common fashion otherwise, but worked so many battles that I feel a connection; perhaps you do as well. AresAboutKeepsake02 Ares (Ares_0177): By now that Sword Hilt which I offered you has seen such bloodshed in your care that I should think its former owner would be pleased! At least {#Emph}I {#Prev}am most certainly, both to contribute {#Emph}and {#Prev}observe. AresAboutMedea01 Ares (Ares_0185): The witch Medea is of service to you, yes? The plagues and poisons for which she is infamous in some respects reduce the possibility of war; but they achieve results, so one must keep an open mind. AresAboutMorosKeepsake01 Ares (Ares_0178): I sense that you possess an artifact from Doom himself! I have crossed paths on more than one occasion with Lord Moros, for my area of expertise often requires his. This must be an exciting time for him! AresAboutNemesis01 Ares (Ares_0183): Before the Titan took the Underworld, a daughter of the goddess Nyx would often punish those who took more than their share. She was called Nemesis, and I admired her... perhaps of late she's seeking retribution for her kin. AresAboutNergalAspect01 Ares (Ares_0180): Now that is an exquisite weapon you possess! The Rock Lion Mace has a storied, bloody past, and you shall grow its legacy. I never knew it was a form of the Nocturnal Arms... AresAboutNyx01 Ares (Ares_0048): I knew the goddess Nyx, my kin, and learned from her about your realm and its customs. She and your nearest relatives were very close. If now it takes a war to win them back, so much the better. AresAboutNyx02 Ares (Ares_0197): The goddess Nyx, returned unto the Underworld, my kin! Although I felt quite melancholy at the thought of our war drawing to a close, I am most pleased that the presence of Night Incarnate is more strongly felt again, as well it should. AresAboutNyxAspect01 Ares (Ares_0181): The markings on your armaments are reminiscent of the goddess Nyx. I know she oversaw the forging of the Nocturnal Arms, but she once wielded them herself...? AresAboutOlympus01 Ares (Ares_0047): Of late, my obligations have required me to go abroad, for I can only do so much from our quite-isolated mountaintop. But now there's so much to take care of here at home! AresAboutPackageBounty01 Ares (Ares_0071): There is a stir of something different in the air tonight... you feel it too, yes? The sense of great and ancient possibility. Let us bring it into being through sheer force. AresAboutPackageBounty02 Ares (Ares_0072): I admit even we gods may be subject to forces beyond our knowledge or control. I sense such influences even now... intensifying this great war of ours. Spurring us to act. AresAboutPalace01 Ares (Ares_0188): I regret not having had the opportunity to give you my regards whilst you were here, my kin. But the need to dispose of trespassers took precedence. I trust we may yet meet in time? AresAboutPoseidon01 Ares (Ares_0149): Our uncle Poseidon puts on a veneer of confidence, yet I believe that it is perspiration, not sea-water, often visible upon his brow. War can be disconcerting, certainly. AresAboutPrometheus01 Ares (Ares_0049): Clearly Prometheus the Titan is no stranger to conducting war. He knows, for instance, just how fragile most alliances can be. Do you suppose he stood with our fathers in the past only to better learn their weaknesses? AresAboutPrometheus02 Ares (Ares_0050): I always took Prometheus for a mere pacifist, so readily did he accept his fate when he was caught defying my lord father's will. Since found his fighting spirit, has he? At times it takes some pain and suffering to discover who we are. AresAboutPrometheus03 Ares (Ares_0200): You and Prometheus are to perpetuate your conflict, then? He has his complicated reasons why, which my kin have accepted grudgingly. I am simply pleased to see him fight. AresAboutRandomBounties01 Ares (Ares_0187): What forces could have brought you suddenly as far as you have come? Perhaps there are such Underworld gods whom even we cannot detect; allegiances of which we need not know. AresAboutSacrifice01 Ares (Ares_0143): Pain and death contain so many mysteries, my kin. Each Satyr, each Harpy whose life you take, their sacrifice has something to teach us. And you have learned voraciously; may our studies continue far into the future. AresAboutSatyrs01 Ares (Ares_0058): You've slain at least a thousand Satyrs thus far during your campaign; a modest army, single-handedly destroyed! And that is but a {#Emph}fraction {#Prev}of the sheer totality of the destruction you have caused! AresAboutSelene01 Ares (Ares_0155): Upon nights such as this, what sole illumination can be found is from Selene on her shining chariot aloft. You have her light about you, my kin; her hidden power as well, yes? AresAboutShrine01 Ares (Ares_0073): Such terror permeates the atmosphere this night. It almost feels as though the goddess Nyx herself has touched the hearts of all those who oppose us, such is their fervor. This battle shall be difficult I think! AresAboutShrine02 Ares (Ares_0074): Do you detect a certain fear that hangs in the air this night, my kin? I suspect yes; perhaps you are its very source... a goddess not merely of the Underworld, but of nightmares themselves. AresAboutThanatosAspect01 Ares (Ares_0182): I recognize that ornate scythe you bear; it ought be in the hands of Death himself! Though in yours, close enough. To think that even Thanatos was taken by the Titan unawares. AresAboutThessaly01 Ares (Ares_0176): A growing number of terrific wars are lately being fought at sea, my kin. You are in some respects leading the charge on the evolving nature of the craft! AresAboutTravels01 Ares (Ares_0032): I recently returned from certain travels, for my work is never done. I was pleased to see that matters here were well in hand; much better off than when I left, in many ways. I take it you're to thank in no small part? AresAboutTyphon01 Ares (Ares_0051): Colossal Typhon is an even greater threat than I could have imagined, my kin! How envious I felt, hearing the tales of our elders fending off the Father of All Monsters... but now, we all are witness to his wild rage firsthand! AresAboutTyphonDeath01 Ares (Ares_0189): The Father of All Monsters, slain! I scarce believed it when I heard, but my lord father and dear mother quite insisted this was true. It seems that you possess a power {#Emph}far {#Prev}more terrifying {#Emph}even {#Prev}than our vanquished foe. AresAboutTyphonL01 Ares (Ares_0052): I'd certainly not call our latest battle against Typhon anything close to a victory, yet we were able to repel him finally after your forced retreat. But now it seems he has resumed his slow ascent... AresAboutUnderworld01 Ares (Ares_0138): It has been long since I witnessed the goings-on beneath the earth, not that mere Boons allow me to see much. Some of those dark places you lay waste to, I scarcely see at all. AresAboutUnderworld02 Ares (Ares_0194): When shall your father restore passage through the Underworld's gates? Perhaps his realm is not in the condition yet to take in so many new residents at once. Well then, all in good time. AresAboutWar01 Ares (Ares_0061): I have to say I was reluctant to participate in these affairs at first. A war must run its course; I often set the wheels in motion, yes, but then observe impartially. This one, however, has become a bit of an exception. AresAboutWar02 Ares (Ares_0034): War can be such a complex thing. I can bring it into being, yes, but soon it takes on a life of its own; perhaps akin to rearing a child! And this child with whom we're dealing now has grown a bit unruly, I have to say. AresAboutWar03 Ares (Ares_0062): This is by no means the first occasion that our family has become embroiled in a war. Yet I have never before seen a case that swept so many of us up! I get a bit emotional about it still... AresAboutWeapons01 Ares (Ares_0046): I know the weapons which you wield; glorious Nyx told me of them herself! I've an insatiable hunger for such knowledge, not unlike how the Nocturnal Arms cannot be sated whilst your realm remains under duress. AresAboutWeapons02 Ares (Ares_0179): Knowing my brother Hephaestus, he could identify each one of your dark armaments by name! But I recognize their purpose and their form, and wish to see how much destruction they can cause. AresAboutZagreus01 Ares (Ares_0057): You're reminiscent of your brother quite a bit. A consummate dealer of death he was, born in the pressures of the deepest hells! Although perhaps you wouldn't get along, just as my siblings and I have our little spats. AresAboutZagreus01_B Ares (Ares_0057): You're reminiscent of your brother quite a bit. A consummate dealer of death he was, born in the pressures of the deepest hells! Although perhaps you wouldn't get along, just as my siblings and I have our little spats. AresAboutZagreus02 Ares (Ares_0198): Your brother Zagreus is doing well? I trust that you shall get on famously, for you have much in common: brutality, mercilessness...! Would that I had such a sibling here... AresAboutZeus01 Ares (Ares_0064): Lord Father Zeus is most experienced at war, having both fought and conquered many times. Yet he often favors counsel from Athena over my own, even as she struggles to defend this mountain. At least you see we should {#Emph}attack. AresAboutZeus02 Ares (Ares_0146): My father's blessing is most-powerful indeed. The strength to vanquish Typhon himself! Although this circumstance in which we find ourselves has still-greater demands, and I stand ready to provide. AresBlindBox01 Ares (Ares_0077): {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}It seems this message was successfully delivered in utter secrecy! We ought to take more such precautions, although perhaps it would hinder your ability to plan. AresBlindBox02 Ares (Ares_0078): You need not be surprised to find me thus. Our family often takes a more-direct approach, but I am not above skulking in shadows; I rather quite enjoy it. AresBlindBox03 Ares (Ares_0174): In war, one must prepare for {#Emph}all {#Prev}eventualities. This could have been one of your other kin lending their Boon, but I was swift to take decisive action in their stead. AresBlindBox04 Ares (Ares_0175): Our blessings are difficult to resist, are they not? Even without knowing which you shall receive, let alone whose, you are always willing to pay the Boatman's price. AresChat01 Ares (Ares_0003): Nothing compares to witnessing the slaughter of one's enemies, don't you agree? AresChat02 Ares (Ares_0004): Wherever blood is to be shed, I can be counted on at least to be intrigued, if not involved. AresChat03 Ares (Ares_0005): Mortals all must die; I merely wish for them to do so in a fitting way. AresChat04 Ares (Ares_0006): There are such conflicts as can only be resolved with violence; no need to fight the urge. AresChat05 Ares (Ares_0007): Wherever there's a wave of death, I seek it out, and lately, there you are. AresChat06 Ares (Ares_0008): Life spreads much like a plague across this world, but there are ways to keep it to a manageable flow. AresChat07 Ares (Ares_0009): No single war may last forever, yet no single war shall ever be the last. AresChat08 Ares (Ares_0010): How readily your enemies commit themselves to slaughter, time after bloody time. AresChat09 Ares (Ares_0011): Pain and suffering tend to subside, so this shall be a reminder for all involved. AresChat10 Ares (Ares_0012): Bloodshed can often be avoided, yet I seek never to let such opportunities slip by. AresChat11 Ares (Ares_0013): Such times in which we live, when even the dead can still experience the full extent of war. AresChat12 Ares (Ares_0014): Let us savor these moments whilst the ashes of destruction come to rest. AresChat13 Ares (Ares_0015): The spirits of the dead haunt every battlefield, do they not? Perhaps you can even see them there. AresChat14 Ares (Ares_0016): War is in our very nature, thus not something to reject, but to embrace. AresChat15 Ares (Ares_0017): Violence does not always put an end to conflict, but can reduce it to a simmer for a while. AresChat16 Ares (Ares_0018): Your each and every battle is a pleasure to behold, my hellborn kin. AresChat17 Ares (Ares_0019): So many wars are lost to time, but this one perhaps shall not be soon forgotten. AresChat18 Ares (Ares_0020): A war that spreads across the surface, and below... we have outdone ourselves, my kin. AresChat19 Ares (Ares_0021): Let's not perpetuate this bloodshed for vengeance alone; there are many perfectly good reasons. AresChat20 Ares (Ares_0022): Some find my work to be unpleasant! You have witnessed it firsthand, and know the truth. AresChat21 Ares (Ares_0023): So many battles to be fought! It can be almost overwhelming, that I know. AresChat22 Ares (Ares_0024): Victory in war is bittersweet; but the end of anything is rarely the best part. AresChat23 Ares (Ares_0025): There may appear to be no perfect outcomes in my work, although perhaps you'll come to see it as do I. AresChat24 Ares (Ares_0026): Whilst I admire your efficiency, do take a moment to appreciate the calm after the storm. AresChat25 Ares (Ares_0027): Each night gives us fresh opportunity to enact slaughter in entirely new ways. AresChat26 Ares (Ares_0028): For the greatest conflicts, I am always willing to provide my services, and bring about a sensible result. AresChat27 Ares (Ares_0029): We all have a will to fight, is that not so? I merely seek that we be truer to ourselves. AresChat28 Ares (Ares_0030): Your battle for this eve has just begun, and I wish not to miss a single kill. AresChat29 Ares (Ares_0031): If there is to be bloodshed this night, then let us make every drop count. AresChat30 Ares (Ares_0069): How are we to assert our dominion over this world, if not through violence? AresChat31 Ares (Ares_0095): Violence is not always strictly necessary, but it often works. AresChat32 Ares (Ares_0208): Whoever said that violence never solves anything likely never even tried! AresChat33 Ares (Ares_0209): May you slay all who oppose you with as much efficiency or cruelty as you like. AresChat34 Ares (Ares_0210): The Earth drinks deeply of the blood you spill, and I would see you slake her thirst. AresChat35 Ares (Ares_0211): So many foes within your father's realm lack flesh and blood, but they shall have to do. AresChat36 Ares (Ares_0212): To think that war could rage even beneath the earth; what an exciting time! AresChat37 Ares (Ares_0213): You mean to carve another bloody path up to our mountaintop? Then that I wish to see! AresChat38 Ares (Ares_0214): The remnants of the Titan's legions have a battle-hunger I feel warrants some respect. AresChat39 Ares (Ares_0215): War isn't for the squeamish and the weak, but you've a real taste for it, I see. AresChat40 Ares (Ares_0216): I so look forward to seeing which methods you employ against your enemies each night! AresChat41 Ares (Ares_0217): Perhaps we need some sort of rally-cry tonight, my kin. Would {#Emph}kill them all {#Prev}suffice? AresFirstPickUp Melinoe (MelinoeField_2916): Was beginning to think this one would never show his face. {#Emph}In the name of Hades! Olympus, I accept this message! Ares (Ares_0201): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, a fellow student of death! To have confronted monstrous Typhon with such zeal. My kin insisted that I act upon the violence spiraling out of control, and I do wish to see your prowess, so {#Emph}here... {#Prev}a first of many contributions to the cause. AresGift01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2962): Lord Ares, I know mortal warriors often would make offerings to you before their battles to the death. I likewise wish to pay you my respects. No mercy for our foes! Ares (Ares_0036): I shall not take such honors without giving in return, especially from one who understands my work. A living weapon such as you ought to have {#Emph}this. AresGift02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2964): It's not for me to decide how many battles I have left; but knowing I have your support in them means a great deal, my lord. May we achieve all our objectives soon enough. Ares (Ares_0037): Such Nectar often is withheld till victory. Although in many ways, I feel as though we have already won! I have, at least; and to that end, I'll find a moment to enjoy this properly. AresGift03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2965): No war can last forever, but we shall always be family, isn't that so, my lord? This is but a simple reminder that there's more to unite us than the thrill of the fight. Ares (Ares_0038): You've given me far greater gifts than even this fine Nectar, which I do of course appreciate. But the slaughter you have thus far caused... that is truly second-to-none. AresGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3378): I find that there are moments when the thrill of battle practically consumes me; a feeling I once tried to suppress. But now I realize it leads to victory... and {#Emph}you{#Prev}, my lord. Ares (Ares_0140): I used to think no others in our family shared preoccupations such as mine. In this I'm pleased to have been very much mistaken. Whenever the whim to dole out death strikes you, know I shall be there. AresGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3669): I did not know what to expect from you before we met, Lord Ares... but I've found that you have a certain candor others lack. Thank you for always being clear with me. Ares (Ares_0141): I must admit, I do not frequently receive such offerings because of my demeanor. Many are so {#Emph}easily {#Prev}unsettled, by honesty, by various passions; you seem not to be, my kin. AresGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3670): I wonder, Lord Ares, when mortals on opposing sides all pray to you for victory, how do you choose whom to bless? I trust this offering has no such complications. Ares (Ares_0142): Such gifts are welcome to a point. Mortals believe they can gain favor from me, but it is their own will to fight that most determines how quickly they die. I appreciate your interest in these smaller details! AresGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3671): To all our triumphs in the past or still to come, Lord Ares! But this Ambrosia is not merely for that... I know you also learn from painful losses and defeats. In this especially, I find we are alike. Ares (Ares_0144): I share the sentiment, my hellborn kin. Our family tends to focus overmuch on victories; we do not look unflinchingly at failures and defeats, where deeper insight may be found. In this and more, you have been a welcome exception. AresLegendaryPickUp01 Ares (Ares_0044): I'm quite partial to such wars as have a certain ebb and flow... when the upper hand is hard earned, and easily ceded! For now, my kin, it's yours. Hold on to it. AresLegendaryPickUp02 Ares (Ares_0171): In war, the victor is whomever is the strongest or the most ruthless of all. Although I too have a degree of influence, and bestow on you that very power {#Emph}now. AresLootBought01 Ares (Ares_0075): The river-boatman may no longer ferry souls into the Underworld, but has become quite valuable to the ongoing war effort. He's quite effective with that oar of his! AresLootBought02 Ares (Ares_0076): There were occasions on which I would pay the boatman's fare myself, so many souls did I send down at once into the Underworld! Those were good times. AresLootBought03 Ares (Ares_0172): War cannot endure should supply lines be disrupted for too long; so I am ever-grateful for your Boatman, as I'd not have reached you now if not for him. AresLootBought04 Ares (Ares_0173): Gold is a fascinating metal, is it not? Mortals often fought and killed over the stuff. Only the rarest Gemstones from your father's domain appeal to them more! AresLowHealth01 Ares (Ares_0039): Your blood runs red just as your brother's did, and you've lost quite a bit already for the night. I only wish I could have reached you sooner, to have witnessed more of it myself. AresLowHealth02 Ares (Ares_0168): Such grievous wounds you suffer from, my kin! In war, of course, no one gets out unscathed. May you inflict {#Emph}far {#Prev}greater suffering on any who would dare to do us harm. AresLowHealth03 Ares (Ares_0169): So much life already lost this eve; although I should not use that term myself. Lives extinguished are never {#Emph}lost{#Prev}, always {#Emph}spent... {#Prev}if but for the good of your father's realm. AresLowHealth04 Ares (Ares_0170): You suffer injuries which would have caused even the strongest mortal to succumb; but you fight on as though you are unscathed! Perhaps you even find a thrill in it? AresMakeUp01 Ares (Ares_0099): An exquisite performance befitting our lineage! You are to be rewarded for all that. AresMakeUp02 Ares (Ares_0100): Sometimes I like to benefit the losing side, to give them a false hope. AresMakeUp03 Ares (Ares_0101): Do you suppose your foolish enemies believed they had you there? AresMakeUp04 Ares (Ares_0102): An occasional show of hostility is just how we assert ourselves, my kin. AresMakeUp05 Ares (Ares_0103): So many battles to be fought, yet I just cannot help myself sometimes... AresMakeUp06 Ares (Ares_0104): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, but that was excellent, although the best this eve perhaps is yet to come. AresMakeUp07 Ares (Ares_0105): You've satisfied my need for retribution, or at least my thirst for blood. For now. AresMakeUp08 Ares (Ares_0106): I sense that no survivors of that clash remain, save you. A fine outcome. AresMakeUp09 Ares (Ares_0107): To the victor of the battle, a reward. And I, in turn, experienced quite the spectacle. AresMakeUp10 Ares (Ares_0108): My work at times requires me to side against my kin. You understand, of course? AresMakeUp11 Ares (Ares_0109): This was but an inconsequential skirmish, and even still, it was such a delight. AresMakeUp12 Ares (Ares_0110): Your foes believed they stood a chance; such optimism fascinates me to no end. AresPostEpilogue01 Ares (Ares_0196): The Fates have been discovered after all? And they intend to take a break from all their traditional manipulations? I do not entirely believe it, but... war would be so exhilarating were its victors never preordained. AresPostTrueEnding01 Ares (Ares_0190): It is quite common to experience mixed emotions at the outcome of a war! And to have been denied a violent resolution to our plight... although from what I gather, there is violence still to come. AresPostTrueEnding02 Ares (Ares_0195): This latest war shall not be easily surpassed; admittedly in part because we gods were at the center of it. But I trust another shall exceed it at some point! One always does. AresPostTrueEndingAboutChronos01 Ares (Ares_0191): We're to continue warring with the Titan Chronos but in different {#Emph}times? {#Prev}Or different circumstances, I should say... had you but failed to succeed before. A fight without an end... {#Emph}oh{#Prev}, my kin. AresPostTrueEndingAboutChronos02 Ares (Ares_0192): How many of these Chronos impostors are we dealing with, do you suppose? To think we shall eradicate them all, one at a time. Yet no two battles are to be the same! AresPostTrueEndingAboutTyphon01 Ares (Ares_0193): I understand you are somehow still able to confront the Father of All Monsters here! So then his raging spirit yet remains, in some dark recesses of time. Would that I could look upon him there! AresRejection01 Ares (Ares_0083): You realize what this means, don't you, my kin? I trust I do not even have to say the words. AresRejection02 Ares (Ares_0084): Bitter wars are sometimes waged for less; really over nothing much at all. AresRejection03 Ares (Ares_0085): Perhaps this was a mere misunderstanding, though I tend to presume malicious intent. AresRejection04 Ares (Ares_0086): My other kin also at times brush me aside, and look where {#Emph}that {#Prev}got them. AresRejection05 Ares (Ares_0087): If you truly wish to war with me, you'll find I'm more than happy to oblige. AresRejection06 Ares (Ares_0088): I truly feel for you my kin; no recourse but to choose a side, and suffer the result. AresRejection07 Ares (Ares_0089): It would be a lie to say it brings me little pleasure to do what I now have to do, my kin. AresRejection08 Ares (Ares_0090): I do not begrudge your decision; I am most-grateful for it, since it means I can do {#Emph}this. AresRejection09 Ares (Ares_0091): My dear brother has been chosen over me before, and neither did I appreciate it then. AresRejection10 Ares (Ares_0092): I would have chosen similarly in your stead, but have my pride nevertheless. AresRejection11 Ares (Ares_0093): You're wise to side with Aphrodite, though for now you've made an enemy of {#Emph}me. AresRejection12 Ares (Ares_0094): A calculating choice, perhaps. But not without its violent repercussions. AresRunStart01 Ares (Ares_0040): As you set forth on this night's campaign, I would accompany you from the outset, so that you may fight and slay your enemies entirely without restraint. AresRunStart02 Ares (Ares_0041): I sensed the possibility of concentrated violence from your current whereabouts. Soon then, the killing shall commence. You need but choose the means by which it shall be done. AresRunStart03 Ares (Ares_0137): Your latest effort to stop Typhon did not go as you presumably desired, yet we still were able to use the diversion you created to our advantage. Now for the Titan Chronos, yes? AresRunStartSurface01 Ares (Ares_0042): How soft the earth you walk upon must be, and not from rainwater, I think. Well if you wish to tour war-torn landscapes near and far, then let me be your guide. AresRunStartSurface02 Ares (Ares_0043): You've quite a distance to traverse until you reach the battlefield that is our mountainside; though rest assured, fighting shall be fierce along the way! AresSurfaceRunCleared01 Ares (Ares_0053): To have driven back the Father of All Monsters is a monumental achievement, my kin. But the war is not yet won! Which means still-greater victories await; perhaps with the occasional ignoble defeat. AresSurfaceRunCleared02 Ares (Ares_0054): Such a monstrosity, Typhon... slow, enormous, stubborn as he clambers toward our highest peak; driven by vengeance, rage...! In some respects I do admire him. Though I am grateful you were there to dash his hopes. AresUnderworldRunCleared01 Ares (Ares_0055): Word reached us that you defeated the Titan of Time last night, and we were most impressed; but I was left to wonder whether he experienced the throes of agony before the end. Perhaps he eventually can be dissuaded thus. AresUnderworldRunCleared02 Ares (Ares_0056): I was not even born when first our fathers slew the Titan Chronos... and neither could I see him thwarted by your hand last night. But I've a good imagination for such things. AresUnderworldRunCleared03 Ares (Ares_0136): I thought that I might find you there tonight. Whilst the Titan Chronos reels from your recent victory, his forces on the surface must be shaken, and more vulnerable to attack. AresUpgrade.BlindBoxOpenedVoiceLines Ares (Ares_0120): I greet you. Ares (Ares_0121): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, yes. Ares (Ares_0122): At last. Ares (Ares_0123): There you are. Ares (Ares_0124): How fare you? Ares (Ares_0125): My regards. AresUpgrade.DeathTauntVoiceLines Ares (Ares_0096): Either you are with me or against, my kin; no in-between. Ares (Ares_0097): You must have thought this little war would go {#Emph}your {#Prev}way. Ares (Ares_0098): I am unmerciful by nature, if I didn't make it clear? AresUpgrade.FirstSpawnVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_2915): The warrior sigil... AresUpgrade.FullSuperActivatedVoiceLines Ares (Ares_0111): All shall suffer! Ares (Ares_0112): Let there be {#Emph}war! Ares (Ares_0113): Violence and destruction! Ares (Ares_0204): Let us shed some {#Emph}blood! Ares (Ares_0205): How utterly {#Emph}depraved! Ares (Ares_0206): Have you no {#Emph}decorum? Ares (Ares_0207): Mock me if you {#Emph}dare! Eris (ErisField_0477): Was that {#Emph}Ares?! Eris (ErisField_0478): {#Emph}Ares{#Prev}, is that {#Emph}you?! Chronos (Chronos_1269): The vicious god of war... Chronos (Chronos_1270): I'll show that Ares real war... Zagreus (Zagreus_0368): Ares, it's {#Emph}me! Zagreus (Zagreus_0369): {#Emph}Come on{#Prev}, Ares...! AresUpgrade.GiftGivenVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_2963): This I accept from you, my lord. AresUpgrade.OnSpawnVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_2918): The god of war... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2919): Here for the violence... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2920): Lord Ares... AresUpgrade.RarityUpgradeVoiceLines Ares (Ares_0126): Certainly. Ares (Ares_0127): Of course. Ares (Ares_0128): Very well. Ares (Ares_0129): As you wish. Ares (Ares_0130): As you desire. Ares (Ares_0131): Yes. Ares (Ares_0132): Done. Ares (Ares_0133): Like so? AresWithAphrodite01 Ares (Ares_0164): Love and hate, my kin! The most powerful emotions, and the underlying causes of war. So it is that glorious Aphrodite here has taken interest in my leanings, and I in hers. Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0214): Your preoccupations are my passions, Lord Ares! What would drive someone to lose themselves entirely to feeling? I would like to know {#Emph}every {#Prev}last possible reason. AresWithApollo01 Ares (Ares_0158): My half-brother Lord Apollo here claims he was first amongst our family to reach you thus, my kin. Perhaps if {#Emph}I {#Prev}had in his stead, this all could have been well over by now... Apollo (Apollo_0170): Oh come on, Ares, you've never been big on bringing conflicts to an end. Probably why you showed up so late to this one! But you saw how great a time the rest of us were having and just {#Emph}had {#Prev}to get involved. AresWithDemeter01 Ares (Ares_0162): I am impressed with how our great goddess of seasons here has taken to our war. The more personal we make it, the more bitterly we fight! Is that not so, dear Lady Demeter? Demeter (Demeter_0191): It was not I who made this personal, Ares. Perhaps if at some future point you have your own children and grandchildren taken from you, then you shall understand. For now, however... you need but to comply. AresWithHephaestus01 Ares (Ares_0166): Hard-working Hephaestus and I are the only true-born sons of the King and Queen of Mount Olympus. I keep telling him, we ought to rise to the occasion, and assert ourselves! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0238): Want more responsibility, Ares, have at it! Otherwise I don't know what you're after, and don't want any of it, Aphrodite notwithstanding. Got my forge, got my wife... it's enough. AresWithHera01 Ares (Ares_0156): I wish never to burden my mother the Queen, so heavy is her crown; but she insists on being here, perhaps believing that my aid alone shall not suffice. Is that quite so, Mother? Hera (Hera_0243): Spare me your concern, Ares, and whilst in company, address me not as {#Emph}Mother. {#Prev}If I cannot trust you with basic matters of decorum, whyever should I trust the efficacy of your {#Emph}blessings? AresWithHestia01 Ares (Ares_0160): I'm pleased to see dear Lady Hestia putting her capabilities to greater use. Why, here she is right now! I always knew you had a disposition toward destruction, Goddess, as so prevalent is flame in war! Hestia (Hestia_0205): It's a side of myself I don't often like to show, as much as you seem to like seeing it, Ares. I figure we can't properly control our powers if we can't control ourselves. AresWithPoseidon01 Ares (Ares_0081): Our Uncle Poseidon here tends to give counsel more than any of our kin, perhaps believing volume of advice is tied to quality. What ought to be our current course, Uncle? Poseidon (Poseidon_0354): Our current course ought to be straight toward our foes, where we can smash them like a tempest does a ship! {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, but I feel all fired up and fit for battle! Come to think of it I always get this way when my good nephew Ares is around! AresWithZeus01 Ares (Ares_0079): Forgive me here, my kin, but my Lord Father and I, we were in the midst of a discussion that I felt ought not to wait... concerning what I learned whilst visiting more-distant lands. Zeus (Zeus_0199): Oh calm yourself on that account, Ares! We had best deal with matters close to home prior to worrying about that which may be amiss in distant corners of the world! We'll deal with {#Emph}them {#Prev}in time. ArmorGainKeepsake.EquipVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_3186): The Sash. Arachne (ArachneKeepsake_0462): {#Emph}My friend! Arachne (ArachneKeepsake_0463): {#Emph}You silly... ArtemisAboutAmbrosia01 Artemis (Artemis_0399): Hey, look what I unearthed from out of a certain hollowed stump! Beneath this thick layer of dirt is the Ambrosia bottle you had me stash away, and we're having it now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4105): Wait, {#Emph}now? {#Prev}Why not save it for the Crossroads where, for instance, we're not spattered with the remnants of our foes? Artemis (Artemis_0400): Speak for yourself, I use a bow, I'm {#Emph}clean! {#Prev}But yes, right now. Because if we keep waiting for the perfect time, we'll wait forever. More importantly, you achieved your task, and we barely got to celebrate! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4106): And the moon {#Emph}is {#Prev}new. You make persuasive points, so fine, let's have ourselves a bit. What shall we drink to? Artemis (Artemis_0401): To the Silver Sisters... if I'm to skulk in shadow with several other goddesses, I couldn't have asked for a better pack. Artemis (Artemis_0402): {#Emph}Whew! {#Prev}That was good, and our work hasn't gone anywhere in the meantime. I suppose we should be getting back to it? ArtemisAboutApollo01 Artemis (Artemis_0171): Has my little brother lived up to his shining reputation so far? At least he did his part. Soon as I told him about {#Emph}you{#Prev}, sure enough he was plenty eager to let all Olympus know. Melinoe (Melinoe_1180): Apollo was very kind. Though, easy for me to say, I'm not his twin. What'd you tell him anyway? Artemis (Artemis_0172): Only the truth! That I ran into the reclusive Witch of the Crossroads while scouting out our foe... and that she introduced me to a secret {#Emph}Titan killer {#Prev}she's been training up. Melinoe (Melinoe_1181): You just didn't tell him how long ago that was. So now they really think this long-lost relative of theirs is going to find Chronos and slay him? Artemis (Artemis_0173): Oh, they think you don't stand a chance! But they don't have a lot of options, so... they'll support you anyway, especially since you're family and all. And you know {#Emph}I {#Prev}will. ArtemisAboutArtemisAspect01 Artemis (Artemis_0210): Hey, I recognize those blades! Didn't want to let on before, but... now I guess you know. You best be taking care of them! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2144): Not to worry. I am, I swear! So, {#Emph}you {#Prev}were the bearer of the Sister Blades yourself? Did you have to give them up because of me...? Artemis (Artemis_0211): I gave them up because I did what needed to be done. Hecate so likes her little tests. Anyway I'm glad to see old Lim and Oros in good hands. ArtemisAboutAthena01 Artemis (Artemis_0424): Wait, how did you already get Athena's blessing way out {#Emph}here? {#Prev}She's practically a world apart and has been too busy to send messages by Boon... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4119): I have her Gorgon Amulet. Perhaps it's a bit rude of me but with it, she can drop in on whichever unfortunate foes I happen to be facing at the time. Artemis (Artemis_0425): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, right. She {#Emph}does {#Prev}like her dramatic entrances, and probably doesn't mind giving hints of her power here and there. Well, here's another {#Emph}hint {#Prev}for you. ArtemisAboutBoons01 Artemis (Artemis_0260): You've tried all my latest Boons by now. Got others I've been mulling, although lately nothing seems to stick! Likely you'd rather have something tried-and-true anyway. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3329): From you, Sister, I'll take whatever I can get! A bit of extra precision in my strikes often makes all the difference. Artemis (Artemis_0261): ...I'm not just all about {#Emph}precision {#Prev}here, am I? We gods get cast as one thing and that's it. Father Zeus and his thunder, Uncle Poseidon and his water, Apollo and his... {#Emph}hair. ArtemisAboutCharon01 Artemis (Artemis_0376): Hey, do you {#Emph}really {#Prev}understand what Charon's moaning about, or is it all an act... like how creatures sometimes make themselves look bigger, as a form of self defense? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3370): {#Emph}Artemis! {#Prev}I can't exactly parse each syllable but Charon has spent a great deal of time around souls of the dead. It's really not that different. {#Emph}You {#Prev}can communicate with {#Emph}beasts! Artemis (Artemis_0377): I guess, it's just... beasts usually don't have too much to say! Except for cats. Anyway, the boatman probably makes better conversation than some gods I know. ArtemisAboutChronos01 Artemis (Artemis_0157): It's strange, isn't it? He's our own grandfather... Chronos, I mean. But, I feel no connection to him at all! I just want him gone. Melinoe (Melinoe_1191): Doesn't matter who he is; he's a threat. We're the Silver Sisters. We'll {#Emph}make {#Prev}him gone. For the sake of the realms. Artemis (Artemis_0158): Strictly business then, is it? Even still, funny how it falls on {#Emph}us {#Prev}to settle the older generation's scores. ArtemisAboutChronosBossL01 Artemis (Artemis_0194): Got all the way down to the House of Hades, so I heard. Must be nice having fated authority over the lowest reaches of the Underworld... unless you're Chronos. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2136): He was most certainly annoyed. Wields a scythe that's twice my height, surrounds himself with feral Satyr-worshipers ready to die for him. I'm not surprised it once took both our fathers and more to bring him down. Artemis (Artemis_0195): No reason to compare yourself. They're high and mighty lords of the heavens and the Underworld, but they fought Chronos by necessity. You were trained to do {#Emph}precisely this. ArtemisAboutChronosBossL01_B Artemis (Artemis_0194): Got all the way down to the House of Hades, so I heard. Must be nice having fated authority over the lowest reaches of the Underworld... unless you're Chronos. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2136): He was most certainly annoyed. Wields a scythe that's twice my height, surrounds himself with feral Satyr-worshipers ready to die for him. I'm not surprised it once took both our fathers and more to bring him down. Artemis (Artemis_0195): No reason to compare yourself. They're high and mighty lords of the heavens and the Underworld, but they fought Chronos by necessity. You were trained to do {#Emph}precisely this. ArtemisAboutChronosBossW01 Artemis (Artemis_0196): You found Chronos... sank your fangs into his throat. Sister Hecate gave me the gist. How'd you do it...? Found some exploitable weakness, something like that? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2137): Mostly I just kept evading a lot. He's very powerful, but must have underestimated my ability to resist his tricks. Artemis (Artemis_0197): He won't always underestimate you, though. Must have his vulnerabilities. {#Emph}The old are seldom wise, and often weak{#Prev}, right? He's bloodied... go for the kill. ArtemisAboutChronosBossW02 Artemis (Artemis_0407): You're close, aren't you? To putting Chronos down for good. I know you mustn't share the details even with me, but... you'd tell me if I'm wrong. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4111): I'd tell you, yes. Now then, I hate to make our meetings brief, but I've a certain matter to resolve. Artemis (Artemis_0408): Then go resolve it, by all means. Tread softly, and strike true, Sister. ArtemisAboutDagger01 Artemis (Artemis_0155): Those blades of yours doing you any good? Let me know if you need any, {#Emph}erm... pointers...? Melinoe (Melinoe_1190): The Sister Blades are almost like having you by my side in every fight. Though, you can shoot a lot farther than I can throw... Artemis (Artemis_0156): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, don't be so hard on yourself, I can shoot farther than anybody! Especially Apollo. Well, just keep going for their vitals, and you'll be fine. ArtemisAboutEphyra01 Artemis (Artemis_0176): Look at {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Sister! Your brother once had us all convinced he was trying to fight his way to Olympus. Now none of us can believe you're trying to do it for real. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2020): I've known Hermes about as long as you, and can count the number of favors he's asked of me on one hand. Besides, I could use the change of scenery. Artemis (Artemis_0177): Then by all means! What a time, that you're on your way up to the mountain while I'm on my way down to the Underworld. At least we crossed paths! ArtemisAboutEphyra01_B Artemis (Artemis_0176): Look at {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Sister! Your brother once had us all convinced he was trying to fight his way to Olympus. Now none of us can believe you're trying to do it for real. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2020_B): Hermes wouldn't have asked me to go if it wasn't important. Besides, I could use the change of scenery. Artemis (Artemis_0177): Then by all means! What a time, that you're on your way up to the mountain while I'm on my way down to the Underworld. At least we crossed paths! ArtemisAboutErebus01 Artemis (Artemis_0183): Poor wretches, left to linger here. Could be relaxing in Elysium, or Asphodel at least. No wonder they're upset. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2134): Chronos claimed it was an act of magnanimity, unsealing the Underworld gates, letting the dead roam free. This can't possibly be better than when my father ruled. Artemis (Artemis_0184): Hey, at least it means I can set foot in these parts without inciting some huge territorial dispute! Setting aside the fact that we're already in the middle of one. ArtemisAboutEris01 Artemis (Artemis_0208): You probably know {#Emph}Eris {#Prev}has been buzzing around Olympus recently? One good lightning bolt from Father Zeus would normally take {#Emph}care {#Prev}of that, but... he's been occupied. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2143): One good lightning bolt, how about one good arrow? We'd be saved a lot of trouble if Eris were to be plucked from the sky one of these nights. Artemis (Artemis_0209): I'd gladly volunteer, it's just that Father has everything {#Emph}well under control. {#Prev}Says I'm needed way out here instead. But if I do spot the wings of Strife... they're going down. ArtemisAboutFamiliars01 Artemis (Artemis_0386): Hey you have an animal companion now! Mine would be with me too, except they won't set foot in the Underworld while they still draw breath... except these birds, which do not seem to care. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3328): And I suppose they have other excuses for Ephyra? Some companions they are, leaving you to your devices here. Artemis (Artemis_0258): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}They're just like us for the most part, except quieter usually. You take good care of yours for me, all right? ArtemisAboutFamily01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1186): You've been so far from home for so long. Don't you miss being on Olympus? If not now, then... back before the Titan's siege? Artemis (Artemis_0150): What, you mean being with my father and stepmother, my perfect twin brother, and all the rest? Just because I'm willing to aid them doesn't mean I'm willing to live with them again. ArtemisAboutFamily02 Artemis (Artemis_0165): So what do you think of the family? Most of them are stuck on their mountaintop, though... you've seen what they're like. Melinoe (Melinoe_2340): Oh they don't seem so bad! Especially things being as they are. But you can't stand any of them... Artemis (Artemis_0166): Hey I wouldn't go {#Emph}that {#Prev}far! Though, yes, they can get under my skin. They're going to owe us {#Emph}big {#Prev}once all of this is over. ArtemisAboutFates01 Artemis (Artemis_0202): It's really true about the Fates, that Chronos somehow got to them? Doesn't want to take any chances anymore. Did the Fates prophesize their own captivity...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2139): How can you be so casual about this? If the Fates themselves couldn't stop Chronos, we won't have an easy time! We're beholden to chance ourselves. Artemis (Artemis_0203): So what if we are! You know not even {#Emph}I {#Prev}always hit my mark. What do I do if I miss? {#Emph}I take another shot. {#Prev}The greater the skill, the less is up to chance. ArtemisAboutHecate01 Artemis (Artemis_0159): You bested Sister Hecate! She told me so herself, and with dare-I-say more than a hint of pride. Though, she's intent on testing you still? Melinoe (Melinoe_1192): She always said I can't beat Chronos if I can't beat her. And so we spar. I think she's gone easy on me, to boost my confidence. Artemis (Artemis_0160): Well, I can plainly see she failed. Gone {#Emph}easy? {#Prev}If there's one thing the Witch of the Crossroads hasn't ever done, it's that. ArtemisAboutHeracles01 Artemis (Artemis_0405): Seen Heracles stomping about? As much as I am normally the trusting sort, I don't quite know about that one. He's been on my bad side for a while. Quite rough with animals. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4110): Artemis, you're goddess of the {#Emph}hunt. {#Prev}Animals must be far more afraid of you than him. Artemis (Artemis_0406): Now don't you even start with that, Sister. Animals {#Emph}adore {#Prev}me, except when it's their time. But Heracles goes after them whenever he needs. Just watch it with him, OK? ArtemisAboutHermes01 Artemis (Artemis_0148): Hermes finally got a hold of you, did he? Sounds like things have really taken a turn on Olympus. Glad I'm not there! Melinoe (Melinoe_1185): Artemis, how can you say that? It's your home. I'm going to see if I can head up there and lend a hand. Artemis (Artemis_0149): Is that even possible for you, born of the Underworld and all that? Then again, you're a {#Emph}witch! {#Prev}Must have a remedy for everything! ArtemisAboutHiddenAspect01 Artemis (Artemis_0255_B): Those are the Sister Blades... then, that must be the Aspect of the Morrigan. Looks like it suits you pretty well! Maybe we Night-Moon goddesses {#Emph}are {#Prev}all alike. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3497): You mean you never got to wield this Aspect yourself? How did you even learn the waking-phrase you shared? Artemis (Artemis_0256): One too many questions, Melinoë, but no. That Aspect wasn't for me. Maybe some evening you, too, will have the opportunity to pass along some secret knowledge! ArtemisAboutHiddenAspect02 Artemis (Artemis_0426): You know, I set up Zagreus with his {#Emph}own {#Prev}waking-phrase one time, for a hidden Aspect of a bow called Coronacht, which Stepmother once used. He was pretty good with it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4120): Oh {#Emph}truly? {#Prev}And what else would you say he did better than me, Artemis? Certainly he had more charm, but could he sprint faster than me, too? Artemis (Artemis_0427): Absolutely, {#Emph}much {#Prev}faster. {#Emph}Anyway{#Prev}, the point being, I'm pleased to have seen each of you grow strong, and done my part for the Infernal and Nocturnal Arms alike. ArtemisAboutKeepsake01 Artemis (Artemis_0200): Brought the White Antler with you just in case! The stag who gave it up, it was his time. And I vowed to him I'd make it quick. His Shade and I, we still commune every so often! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2146): Artemis, your tales have this remarkable capacity to warm the heart and yet disturb the mind. In case you ever need a calling other than the hunt. Artemis (Artemis_0201): If none of this works out, I was thinking {#Emph}songs {#Prev}and {#Emph}music-making? {#Prev}If Apollo can do it, so can {#Emph}I. {#Prev}Though we've not tired of the hunter's life just yet. ArtemisAboutKeepsake02 Artemis (Artemis_0403): Glad the old Antler there has served you well. Keep pushing {#Emph}that {#Prev}thing and you're liable to bring the stag who gave it up back to life! Or take over for {#Emph}me {#Prev}on the hunt. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4109): Oh I wouldn't want {#Emph}that... {#Prev}just to be hell-bent on repeatedly hitting my foes in their vital regions. And for some reason your White Antler helps! Artemis (Artemis_0404): {#Emph}Some reason? {#Prev}Our {#Emph}bond's {#Prev}the reason, and the Antler's the connection. Just don't get carried away. I take most shots while out of sight, but {#Emph}you {#Prev}are not as shy. ArtemisAboutMission01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2131): Why has Olympus sent you all the way out here, anyway? I thought you'd have gone back by now. You're always welcome in the Crossroads! Artemis (Artemis_0297): Appreciate it, Sister, and I do have to report back soon enough. As for why I'm all the way out here, mostly to spy on you! Olympus likes to be informed. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2132): I'm certain that they do. Do you ever slip up with them? By now the other gods must have their suspicions about you and Hermes. Artemis (Artemis_0180): Depends on who you're talking about I guess, but for the most part they just think we're young and flighty. But we're the best they've got. ArtemisAboutMission02 Melinoe (Melinoe_1189): So when you're not aiding me in my repeated failures, what else have you been up to, Artemis? Some special quarry you're after? Artemis (Artemis_0154): There might be. Olympus has been shaking, for reasons unknown. Sister Selene asked that I look into it. Surely it's nothing, right? ArtemisAboutMoon01 Artemis (Artemis_0162): A full Moon... Sister Selene's power at its peak. On nights like this, I really feel my immortality. May our combined strength be enough. ArtemisAboutMoros01 Artemis (Artemis_0169): Hey, is it really true Moros himself showed up at your Crossroads because you {#Emph}summoned {#Prev}him? As in, you {#Emph}literally invited Doom...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2019): It doesn't seem the wisest course when you put it that way. Chronos once was brought low by a prophecy of the Three Fates. I felt they might be willing to intervene again. Artemis (Artemis_0170): And they did so by sending you the embodiment of misfortune and unforeseen consequences. Well if that's what the Fates have in store, you're going to need {#Emph}this. ArtemisAboutNemesis01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2141): You haven't seen Nemesis tonight, have you? Not that she should be anywhere near here, as opposed to keeping watch over the gateways at the Crossroads. Artemis (Artemis_0206): I haven't seen her, no. But I was tracking her! Those footprints are only slightly harder to spot than {#Emph}she {#Prev}is. She's not supposed to be out here, is she... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2142): ...That she is not. She's just trying to make herself useful, I get it. And the Fates themselves know that I could probably use the help. Though, how have you two been? Artemis (Artemis_0207): We each need company, we each need solitude, the same old thing. She's frustrated, which can go a couple of ways depending on the night. Anyway, she's a big girl! ArtemisAboutNemesis02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3371): Hey Artemis, if Nemesis and I... if we were closer, would that be all right? I mean with {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Because if not, just say the word. It's probably not going anywhere anyway... Artemis (Artemis_0378): What am I, Sister Hecate? You don't need my permission, not like Nemesis belongs to me, though I've considered trapping her. In all seriousness, good hunting with that one. ArtemisAboutNemesis03 Artemis (Artemis_0417): So how has Nemesis been doing, she all right? Seems to finally be getting farther in her own stubborn attempts. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4116): Oh she's been well, for her. We've been seeing each other more, and... it's good. As good as she can probably permit. Artemis (Artemis_0418): That's great! She did seem a little lighter on her feet, but not {#Emph}too {#Prev}light, of course. You'll have to tell me how you got through her defenses sometime. ArtemisAboutOceanus01 Artemis (Artemis_0204): Fine mess we made! Not many hiding-places here compared to Erebus. Might be the end of the line for me... I'm a huntress, not a fisher. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2140): Fishing is a form of hunting, isn't it? Anyway I appreciate the backup, and understand if you're now at the limit of your range. Olympus probably expects you back. Artemis (Artemis_0205): They'll want to hear from me! About the situation, and about {#Emph}you{#Prev}, too. You know they still take me and Hermes for their spies? Although, we do tell them a lot... ArtemisAboutPolyphemus01 Artemis (Artemis_0250): That massive Cyclops Polyphemus... saw him fast asleep the other night! Then {#Emph}you {#Prev}were able to sneak up and incapacitate him, just like {#Emph}that! {#Prev}I stay far downwind of him, myself. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2145): I'm tempted to just smile and nod through this one, Artemis, but my dealings with the Cyclops haven't involved much stealth. Though at least I can get past him, at this point. Artemis (Artemis_0251): And how do you get through the Rift beyond the docks, you {#Emph}swim? {#Prev}You still like doing things the hard way. The {#Emph}only {#Prev}way! ArtemisAboutProgress01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1055): Any progress yet with your investigation? Artemis (Artemis_0178): Not near as much as I'd like. Here, let me give you a boost. Maybe you'll get somewhere even if I don't. ArtemisAboutPrometheus01 Artemis (Artemis_0212): You saw we're up against Prometheus. His whole thing is how he knows what's going to take place... makes him quite an elusive one, I guess. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2449): The Titan of Foresight, fighting for the Titan of Time... perhaps merely against the gods who punished him. He may have his reasons, but he's in my way. Artemis (Artemis_0213): I know precisely what you mean. Though if he really knows the future, wouldn't he choose the winning side...? Careful with him, Sister... ArtemisAboutPrometheus02 Artemis (Artemis_0290): One disadvantage to my being all the way out here is I'm unable to put arrows through Prometheus from such a range. Apollo says he's been a real bother. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3365): He's a problem and a threat... even unarmed, and seemingly not even at full strength, for he still bears old wounds. He has more than enough fury to make up. Artemis (Artemis_0291): Great, another angry Titan. Well if he's {#Emph}seething {#Prev}all the time, he's liable to make mistakes. It wouldn't be the first time. ArtemisAboutPrometheus03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3366): You don't truly believe Prometheus can see the future, do you? He probably just has heightened instincts like yours. Artemis (Artemis_0292): {#Emph}Excuse me? {#Prev}Nobody has instincts as heightened as {#Emph}these{#Prev}, Sister! But I've never claimed to know {#Emph}precisely {#Prev}what's to come. Even if I could, I think I'd miss all the suspense. ArtemisAboutRetrying01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1182): You've likely heard I didn't get there, Artemis. Didn't even come close. Artemis (Artemis_0143): Sister, I have {#Emph}every {#Prev}faith in you, but not even {#Emph}I {#Prev}believed you were going to vanquish Chronos straightaway. Let's be a little realistic here? ArtemisAboutSayingLittle01 Artemis (Artemis_0423): Clean and efficient, just the way I like it, Sister. Not been too much to report on my side, and it seems like things are well on yours. Let's keep it moving then, shall we? ArtemisAboutSelene01 Artemis (Artemis_0146): I can often depend on Sister Selene's light to guide me on my hunts. But where you're going, she can't follow, can she? Nor can I. Melinoe (Melinoe_1184): And Headmistress Hecate is needed at the Crossroads. I alone have the authority to enter the House of Hades. If I can make it there. Artemis (Artemis_0147): Hey, what do you mean {#Emph}if? {#Prev}It's a matter of {#Emph}when{#Prev}, as far as I'm concerned. I'm thinking maybe very {#Emph}soon{#Prev}, in fact. ArtemisAboutSelene01_B Artemis (Artemis_0198): I can often depend on Sister Selene's light to guide me on my hunts. But where you're going, she can't follow easily, can she? Nor can I. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2138): Sister Selene has her ways, though I know it's difficult for her, and Headmistress is needed at the Crossroads. I alone have the authority to enter the House of Hades. But I'd have never gotten there without you all. Artemis (Artemis_0199): Could {#Emph}really {#Prev}use a proper hunting party for this one! Fortunately it's kind of our thing as Silver Sisters to not have to be in the same place at the same time. ArtemisAboutShrine01 Artemis (Artemis_0286): There's a particular {#Emph}chill {#Prev}in the air tonight. I almost broke a {#Emph}sweat! {#Prev}Though our foes were partly to blame. I think I know what's going on, Melinoë, but what is going {#Emph}on? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3363): The Testament of Night is what. The Fear and Darkness spread... which may not seem to our immediate benefit, but the Nocturnal Arms grow stronger through it; and the realm. Artemis (Artemis_0287): Well then! {#Emph}In shadow, we serve; to shadow, we return. {#Prev}Olympus figured it was Chronos up to something. I had my doubts, but... wanted to be sure. ArtemisAboutShrine02 Artemis (Artemis_0288): I had more trouble getting here than usual. The Testament of Night again? Nyx herself would surely be impressed with all you've done, spreading {#Emph}fear{#Prev}, creating {#Emph}nightmares... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3364): Through fear comes respect and obedience. Once we're finished, then perhaps the next would-be usurpers with designs on either of our realms are going to think twice. Artemis (Artemis_0289): That was a rather good impression of your father, Sister. Well, let's go terrify our foes some more, shall we? ArtemisAboutSilverSisters01 Artemis (Artemis_0181): When I became one of the Silver Sisters, I figured all we'd really do was stalk in shadows, make occasional reports... but this is a full-on {#Emph}worst-case scenario! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2133): You sound excited rather than dismayed. You must have known it'd come to this eventually. Not like Headmistress would band us together just for ceremony's sake. Artemis (Artemis_0182): No, I guess you're right. Still, we've been together biding our time for so long... I got to thinking we might never get the opportunity to strike. Yet here we are! ArtemisAboutSinging01 Artemis (Artemis_0284): Good being in the Crossroads earlier. My aim is steadier, nerves calm again. I don't get any real peace at home... but it's there to be found in the woods. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3362): No place to practice singing at home either, I expect. Is it truly that concerning if Apollo hears? He can't be {#Emph}that {#Prev}much better! And he'd probably be proud of you. Artemis (Artemis_0285): Or he'd tease me incessantly... I'd likely have to put an arrow through him and get into a heap of trouble. Not prepared to take that sort of risk, Sister. ArtemisAboutSurface01 Artemis (Artemis_0174): You made it quite a ways up on the surface recently, Sister Selene said. Did it live up to all your hopes and dreams? Melinoe (Melinoe_2339): I tend to have a lot of nightmares, and it did live up to those. The dead are left to linger there. They should be safely in the Underworld! Artemis (Artemis_0175): Well, Chronos evidently has other ideas for how things should be governed. I know your main objective is below, though... thank you for any aid you can provide up top. ArtemisAboutSurfacePenalty01 Artemis (Artemis_0185): So much for visiting the surface, huh? Not seen a trace of you up there! Don't feel bad. You have nice woods here, too! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2135): I'm not supposed to be up there... could hardly breathe. But there might be something I can do. Hermes wouldn't have asked me to go if it wasn't important. Artemis (Artemis_0186): No, I guess not. I'd offer to escort you though Olympus wants me to stay out of sight. And I won't bother saying not to push yourself too hard... ArtemisAboutTeamwork01 Artemis (Artemis_0387): We're quite the team, aren't we? And that's {#Emph}without {#Prev}Sisters Hecate and Selene backing us up. Shame that we all have to spread out most of the time. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4092): We do have several realms to watch. But yes, I have to say it's been a pleasure working with you recently. Singing with you. Having your friendship. Artemis (Artemis_0388): Now don't get sentimental on me, Sister. This is business. And though the world we live in may be looking a bit bleak, at least business is good. ArtemisAboutTimePassing01 Artemis (Artemis_0248): Not seen each other in how many nights, Sister? {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, I know that's just the way it goes. You're busy, I'm busy, bunch of time goes by, and... here we are. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2450): Doubtless we've crossed paths repeatedly, just not quite close enough. I feel like a lot's transpired since last we met like this. Where to even begin? Artemis (Artemis_0249): Oh no need, we haven't seen each other but I've still been keeping up. Olympus knows of all your latest exploits! The ones you wouldn't mind me sharing, anyway. ArtemisAboutTyphon01 Artemis (Artemis_0293): We've bigger problems on Olympus than we counted on, I hear. Our worst fears realized and so on? You'd think I'd be more capable of tracking prey that's Typhon's size... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3367): You were tracking Chronos... me, perhaps. But if it's any consolation, finding Typhon ought to be quite easy at this point! Bringing him down... less so. Artemis (Artemis_0294): I'll take your word for it. My father's much too proud to call me back to aid in our defense. Says I'm still needed here. If he wants Typhon to himself so badly, he can have him. ArtemisAboutTyphon02 Artemis (Artemis_0295): Olympus managed to take Typhon down...? I figure with {#Emph}your {#Prev}aid, probably Sister Selene's too. I guess I wasn't needed up there after all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3368): We drove the monster back, but I don't think we've properly discouraged him. Not yet, at least. Though I've a few ideas... Artemis (Artemis_0296): If your ideas involve an {#Emph}arrow {#Prev}in his eye, of which I hear he has a {#Emph}lot{#Prev}, let me know... moonlight guide you home tonight. ArtemisAboutTyphon03 Artemis (Artemis_0413): I meant to thank you, since our woods and mountains are no longer likely to be crushed beneath a monster's foot or slithering appendages. That's been a big relief. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4114): Oh, anytime. I wouldn't have liked being crushed that way, either. Sounds like Lord Zeus and Queen Hera had some contingency in mind that was best avoided. Artemis (Artemis_0414): Our woods and mountains would have been in even {#Emph}worse {#Prev}shape then. Your way shook Father and Stepmother up a bit... the power to destroy immortals and all that? But it's best they respect you. That's how you get them to be nice! ArtemisAboutZagreus01 Artemis (Artemis_0298): ...I hate to even ask, but... have you picked up any trace of Zagreus, by any chance, while in your father's House? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3369): Artemis, it's... hard for me to say. My brother isn't there, but... I sense his presence; our connection. He's not gone. Artemis (Artemis_0299): I guess that's good enough for me, for now. Although it's much more {#Emph}cryptic {#Prev}than I'd like! Well, wherever he is... he better be all right. And not alone. ArtemisChat01 Artemis (Artemis_0004): Take this, Sister, and go find your mark. ArtemisChat02 Artemis (Artemis_0005): Tread ever softly and strike swift and true, Sister. ArtemisChat03 Artemis (Artemis_0006): Happened to be in the area again, so thought I'd stop on by. ArtemisChat04 Artemis (Artemis_0007): May Moonlight guide you to your prey, and expose his every weakness. ArtemisChat05 Artemis (Artemis_0008): Another night, another duty for the Silver Sisters. ArtemisChat06 Artemis (Artemis_0009): I have to say, these woods are not my favorite... ArtemisChat07 Artemis (Artemis_0010): I can't venture any further below, though I can give you this. ArtemisChat08 Artemis (Artemis_0011): The skilled huntress keeps her bag of tricks full and with her at all times. ArtemisChat09 Artemis (Artemis_0012): Steady yourself, Sister. You have my full support and more. ArtemisChat10 Artemis (Artemis_0013): May your aim ever be true. Not unlike mine! ArtemisChat11 Artemis (Artemis_0014): I still think you should try a bow again sometime... ArtemisChat12 Artemis (Artemis_0015): We hunt alone. Although these run-ins aren't so bad! ArtemisChat13 Artemis (Artemis_0016): Always a pleasure working with you, Sister. ArtemisChat14 Artemis (Artemis_0017): Go cut that wretched Titan down to size for me, would you? ArtemisChat15 Artemis (Artemis_0018): May none dare stand between a witch and her prey. ArtemisChat16 Artemis (Artemis_0019): Fine night for hunting Titans, don't you think? ArtemisChat17 Artemis (Artemis_0020): Picked up the scent of a few stragglers I'll take care of after this... ArtemisChat18 Artemis (Artemis_0021): You'll find your mark. I know you will. ArtemisChat19 Artemis (Artemis_0022): Yours is the most dangerous prey of all. I'm a bit envious! ArtemisChat20 Artemis (Artemis_0023): Here's a little something to go with those witching arts of yours. ArtemisChat21 Artemis (Artemis_0024): I've got your back, Sister, so just keep moving forward. ArtemisChat22 Artemis (Artemis_0025): We're the Silver Sisters, and we never miss our mark. ArtemisChat23 Artemis (Artemis_0026): We are the Silver Sisters, and this is our time to shine. ArtemisChat24 Artemis (Artemis_0027): Got to say it's nice to get away from it all like this. ArtemisChat25 Artemis (Artemis_0028): Fancy running into you again, and here of all places! ArtemisChat26 Artemis (Artemis_0029): You tracked {#Emph}me {#Prev}down this time, I'll have you know! ArtemisChat27 Artemis (Artemis_0030): You were born to do this, Sister, and you're going to succeed. ArtemisChat28 Artemis (Artemis_0031): Sure beats being back on that mountaintop, let me tell you. ArtemisChat29 Artemis (Artemis_0032): The Moon is full again. May our combined might take you far. ArtemisChat30 Artemis (Artemis_0033): A new moon marks a new beginning, so take heart, Sister. ArtemisChat31 Artemis (Artemis_0034): The Moon's light wanes again, but your strength needn't falter. ArtemisChat32 Artemis (Artemis_0035): As the light of the waxing Moon intensifies, so too does our potential, Sister. ArtemisChat33 Artemis (Artemis_0449): Good hunting on the way up to the mountain, Sister. ArtemisChat34 Artemis (Artemis_0450): Father better have expressed his gratitude for all you've done. ArtemisChat35 Artemis (Artemis_0451): Good of you to deal with Typhon so that we don't have to anymore! ArtemisChat36 Artemis (Artemis_0452): I'll cover your tracks, but first, here's something for the road. ArtemisChat37 Artemis (Artemis_0453): Next time leave more of them for me, would you? ArtemisChat39 Artemis (Artemis_0467): Clean and efficient, just the way I like it, Sister. ArtemisChat40 Artemis (Artemis_0468): Here, a little extra Moon magick for all you've done, and still intend to do. ArtemisFirstMeeting Artemis (Artemis_0167): It's been too long, Sister. Look at you, on your great hunt! Not ideal circumstances but you've finally begun. Know that the family has your back, surprised as they are about this. Melinoe (Melinoe_1179): No shortage lately of surprises on Olympus or below. It's good to see you, Artemis. But, I must be off. Time's against us, and all that. Artemis (Artemis_0168): {#Emph}Time{#Prev}'s an old fool too busy besieging the mountain of the gods to sense the threat headed his way. Go get him. ArtemisGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1194): It's been a pleasure to have worked more closely with you, Sister Artemis. This is hardly worth the gift of impeccable precision, though I wanted you to have it. Artemis (Artemis_0163): Doing the old traditions now, are we? Well sure, then I accept your offering, Sister Melinoë. And I've an offering for {#Emph}you{#Prev}, in kind! ArtemisGift02 Artemis (Artemis_0164): You do know we have {#Emph}barrels {#Prev}of this stuff up on Olympus, right? Used to, at least. Damn near forgotten what it tastes like, come to think... Melinoe (Melinoe_1195): May the good memories come flooding back! Whenever you have the time for it, of course. ArtemisGift03 Artemis (Artemis_0189): What's all this extra generosity from you lately? It's putting me on edge. Don't you go acting like this is goodbye...! Melinoe (Melinoe_2341): It's merely that the arrow-riddled remnants of my foes give me occasion to reflect! I tell myself never to take my dear friends for granted. ArtemisGift04 Artemis (Artemis_0190): I can't exactly drink this on the hunt, you know! But I can squirrel it away for safekeeping. Maybe once all this is settled, we can share a bottle and get properly caught up. Melinoe (Melinoe_2342): Or, failing that, we could always keep on teaming against vengeful spirits and the like! Although it's nice to keep the possibility in mind. ArtemisGift05 Artemis (Artemis_0191): Hey, thank you! Olympus started running a little low on this stuff. I'll be sure to lord it over the others, as long as you don't mind me exploiting your good graces. Melinoe (Melinoe_3502): I don't recall anything about exploiting one another's good graces in the bylaws of the Silver Sisters, so you should be fine! May you enjoy it either way. ArtemisGift06 Artemis (Artemis_0192): ...Hard making friends with goddesses, but I have what {#Emph}I {#Prev}need. We can be on our own without feeling alone, you know? I hope you know. That's how it is for me. Melinoe (Melinoe_3503): I do know, and feel much the same. When we're not watching one another's backs, we have Selene and Headmistress watching over us. Still, it's always good to see you face-to-face. Artemis (Artemis_0193): You, too. Most of my family I can do without most of the time. You're an exception! We may not be sisters by blood, but... you'll always be Sister Melinoë to me. Melinoe (Melinoe_3504): Likewise, Sister Artemis. ArtemisGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4093): Hey, thought I'd get you some of the good stuff. I suppose there's a real possibility it's become somewhat easier to come by here than where you call home. Artemis (Artemis_0389): Hey, Ambrosia! Callisto always used to love this stuff. Maybe I'll call on her again once things cool off a bit. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4094): Your assignment must have taken you away from her... I'm sorry, I didn't even consider that till just now. She isn't angry with you, is she? Artemis (Artemis_0390): Well when she turns into a bear it usually means she is, and she'd been doing that a lot. So it's good we're on a little break! It means I'm {#Emph}much {#Prev}less likely to get mauled. ArtemisGift08 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4095): Got something for you and perhaps Callisto here, if you decide to brave the dangers of approaching her again. Artemis (Artemis_0391): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, thank you very much! I haven't yet decided whether to share this stuff with my Nymph friends, when I {#Emph}could {#Prev}just hoard it all for {#Emph}myself... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4096): Wouldn't taste any better that way, so you might as well share it or at least pass it on to someone who shall. Not getting on with the Nymphs as much lately? Artemis (Artemis_0392): They're not keen about me going off to war. It's like I'm not even the goddess of the hunt to them, which is part of the appeal, granted. But, you and I, we have a job to do. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4097): We do. ArtemisGift09 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4098): This one is just for you, Artemis, so don't even think about giving it to your Nymph friends. Not even Callisto, no matter how threatening her bear form may be. Artemis (Artemis_0393): OK, OK, if you insist! But, what am I supposed to do with it? I travel light, and lately haven't often stopped by home. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4099): How about you stash it away, under a rock, or in a hollowed stump or somesuch place? And one of these nights, we can enjoy it for ourselves. Artemis (Artemis_0394): Now {#Emph}that {#Prev}is a proper plan, Sister Melinoë. I'll hold you to it though, you realize. How about we wait until the Moon is new... don't want Sister Selene getting the wrong idea. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4100): {#Emph}Hahah{#Prev}, fine. ArtemisGift10 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4101): Hey, I did want to hand over one last bottle, and by {#Emph}last {#Prev}I mean until we find ourselves in different circumstances finally. But {#Emph}this {#Prev}one is for your Nymph friends, {#Emph}not {#Prev}you. Artemis (Artemis_0395): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}Have all my tales of Callisto piqued your interest there, Melinoë? Because I'm open to sharing, and I know {#Emph}she {#Prev}is. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4102): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}I mean, that wasn't my intent, it's just... if they've been close with you, and raised your spirits, then I'm grateful for them. They must be worried about you. Artemis (Artemis_0396): I don't know {#Emph}why{#Prev}, when I constantly tell them not to. Though thank you, really. And I'll pass this on next chance I get, with your compliments. But first, promise me one thing. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4103): I just gave you multiple Ambrosia bottles and you want a promise, too? What is it, then? Artemis (Artemis_0397): You can survive on the surface for a while, so... come join us in our woods sometime. Doesn't have to be soon, wait till all this is over. I just think you'd enjoy it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4104): ...All right. When all this is over, I promise to meet your Nymph friends in your woods, and enjoy it. Artemis (Artemis_0398): I'll hold you to that. ArtemisGrantsHiddenAspect01 Artemis (Artemis_0252): We Silver Sisters, we're the keepers of the Nocturnal Arms. The blades of Lim and Oros serve Night's will at your command, but there is more to them. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3401): You're serious? I'm listening. What would you have me do? Artemis (Artemis_0253): At the Silver Pool, invoke the blades with this: {#Emph}I see your threefold shadow with the Phantom Queen. {#Prev}I think you're ready now. It should be good! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3402): {#Emph}I see your threefold shadow with the Phantom Queen. {#Prev}A waking-phrase... thank you for the honor, Artemis. Whose Aspect is this, do you know? Artemis (Artemis_0385): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, no one in particular, just another threefold goddess of shadow, like Sister Hecate but of a different age and place. I shouldn't say more, you'll see for yourself soon enough. ArtemisGrantsReward01 Artemis (Artemis_0419): It's strange... I work so closely with Sister Selene, but I've never been any good with her Hexes. Not like {#Emph}you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4117): And I am woefully incompetent with bow-and-arrow, not like {#Emph}you. {#Prev}It's probably Nemesis ensuring none of us have it all. Artemis (Artemis_0420): Well, you're about to get a little {#Emph}closer {#Prev}to that enviable point. Here, a little extra Moon magick for all you've done, and still intend to do. In case you need it. ArtemisGreeting.VoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_1094): Artemis! Artemis (Artemis_0094): Fancy running into {#Emph}you {#Prev}again! Artemis (Artemis_0091): Hail, Sister. Artemis (Artemis_0092): Hail, Sister! Artemis (Artemis_0093): Good evening. ArtemisHealDrop.AIData.PreAttackVoiceLines Artemis (Artemis_0227): Incoming supplies. Artemis (Artemis_0228): Supplies inbound. Artemis (Artemis_0229): Got something for you. Artemis (Artemis_0230): Heads up, Sister. Artemis (Artemis_0231): Here, patch up. Artemis (Artemis_0232): Patch yourself up. Artemis (Artemis_0233): How about a snack? Artemis (Artemis_0234): Have a quick bite. ArtemisHubAboutChronosBoss01 Artemis (Artemis_0187): Good, there you are! I'm late getting back but couldn't bring myself to leave before you were up and about again. How are you feeling? Melinoe (Melinoe_3598): Considering the Titan of Time almost sliced me in two last night with a scythe twice my size that cuts through the air itself, I could be worse. Thank you for waiting up for me. Artemis (Artemis_0188): Of course! I like what you've done to this place. It's like a proper war camp now! With a taverna, hot springs... I ought to stop in more often. Shine on without me for now! Melinoe (Melinoe_3497): Shine on yourself! ArtemisHubFirstMeeting01 Artemis (Artemis_0152): Hey Melinoë, I just wrapped a debrief here with Sister Hecate. This place has changed a {#Emph}lot {#Prev}since last I checked! Melinoe (Melinoe_1187): Hi Artemis, welcome! We've had to scramble a bit to make ready for everything. Can I show you around? Have you said hi to Nemesis? Artemis (Artemis_0153): Oh, {#Emph}no{#Prev}, I have to go. Olympus needs me back up top, at least a little while. Maybe next time, all right? Melinoe (Melinoe_1188): I hear you. Bye for now. ArtemisHubSinging01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4028): Oh, didn't mean to interrupt. I'd not expected this to be a time for song, though neither am I complaining. Artemis (Artemis_0262): Nor should you be! Hey, since you're here, why not lend me your voice for old time's sake? Let go your burdens for a bit. Not like they're going anywhere. ArtemisHubSinging02 Artemis (Artemis_0263): I see that look and know you must be going through a lot, Melinoë. But don't forget what we decided here. Melinoe (Melinoe_4029): We leave our worries at the threshold to this little clearing, yes... though, don't you ever slip? Catch your mind drifting back to your concerns? Artemis (Artemis_0264): That's what the song is for! It doesn't make our troubles go away; it's so we can face them as best we can. ArtemisHubSinging03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4030): Sister Artemis. I really have to talk to you about something of the utmost importance, right now. Artemis (Artemis_0265): Nice try, Sister Melinoë, but I won't break that easily. Not {#Emph}here! {#Prev}Now are you going to join in or not? ArtemisHubSinging04 Artemis (Artemis_0266): I've heard about the latest happenings, Sister, but we'll discuss them out there on the hunt. Not while we're here. ArtemisHubSingingAboutRecordKeeper01 Artemis (Artemis_0430): Who is that Shade across the river over there, with all the parchment stacks? Never looks directly at me but keeps glancing over, as though it isn't obvious. Melinoe (Melinoe_4941): Oh, you must mean the Record Keeper, who's probably just intrigued by your beautiful song. And likely is keeping meticulous track somewhere of each time you sing. Artemis (Artemis_0431): Well it's a good thing I am not self-conscious in the least. Artemis (Artemis_0432): Hey Record Keeper! This one's for you! ArtemisHubSingingEndTheme01 Artemis (Artemis_0428): I'll admit it, Apollo had a lot to do with this one. But I still like it... and it reminds me of how we all got to soar together through the sky. Join me a bit? ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable01 Artemis (Artemis_0267): On a bit of a break, Sister. Join me for a verse or two? ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable02 Artemis (Artemis_0268): Apollo gets to do the singing on Olympus, I get to do it here. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable03 Artemis (Artemis_0269): We all have our little rituals to calm our nerves. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable04 Artemis (Artemis_0270): I always liked it here, and the Shades don't seem to mind. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable05 Artemis (Artemis_0271): Not concerned about a thing, nor should you be. Not here. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable06 Artemis (Artemis_0272): Your body has recovered, sure. But what about your mind? ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable07 Artemis (Artemis_0273): This is our song of victory; or any occasion, really. Want in? ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable08 Artemis (Artemis_0274): When things don't go our way, we sing... if only for a little bit. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable09 Artemis (Artemis_0275): Things did not go well last night, but that's all in the past. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable10 Artemis (Artemis_0276): I have to get back to the hunt here soon, though... not just yet. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable11 Artemis (Artemis_0277): Hey, I can't exactly practice like this on Olympus, you know! ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable12 Artemis (Artemis_0278): Don't think too much about it, Sister, just join in a little while. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable13 Artemis (Artemis_0279): No need to use our plain old speaking voices here, Sister. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable14 Artemis (Artemis_0280): I feel self-conscious singing on Olympus, but not here. ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable15 Artemis (Artemis_0281): This song is dedicated to all the Shades out there! ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable16 Artemis (Artemis_0282): Each night brings us new possibility, and I will sing to that! ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable17 Artemis (Artemis_0283): Done with singing already...? Well I'm done with chatting! ArtemisHubSingingRepeatable18 Artemis (Artemis_0429): Apollo's not around to sing the other part, but you sure are! ArtemisHuntersMark.AIData.PreAttackVoiceLines Artemis (Artemis_0216): One's exposed. Artemis (Artemis_0217): Get that one. Artemis (Artemis_0218): Easy mark. Artemis (Artemis_0219): Easy target. Artemis (Artemis_0220): See that one? Artemis (Artemis_0221): Picked one out. Artemis (Artemis_0222): Marked one. Artemis (Artemis_0060): See that? Artemis (Artemis_0056): There. Artemis (Artemis_0441): Target marked. Artemis (Artemis_0442): That one there. Artemis (Artemis_0443): Get the mark. Artemis (Artemis_0444): One's open. Melinoe (Melinoe_1943): Marked one for me, did you? Melinoe (Melinoe_1944): She marked that one for me. Melinoe (Melinoe_1945): The Hunter's Mark again. Melinoe (Melinoe_1946): There's her Mark. ArtemisLowHealth01 Artemis (Artemis_0151): Oh, you look like {#Emph}hell{#Prev}, Sister. Don't have anything to patch you up, but I {#Emph}can {#Prev}help you kill the wretches that did this to you! ArtemisLowHealth02 Artemis (Artemis_0259): You're barely on your feet, Sister. Let's save our breath and concentrate on getting through the rest of this intact. Far as we can, at least. ArtemisLowHealth03 Artemis (Artemis_0300): Sorry I couldn't keep them all at bay. I try to pack a few recovery supplies, but have to travel light. ArtemisLowHealth04 Artemis (Artemis_0301): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, one of these evenings where nothing's gone right. Have to push through to the next! Or turn {#Emph}this {#Prev}one around. ArtemisPostEpilogue01 Artemis (Artemis_0421): Everybody on the mountain's going on about the Fates finally turning up. Father wouldn't even be in charge if not for them, so he must not have liked the thought that they were gone... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4118): But now the Fates have said the influence of gods shall wane to an extent. I can't imagine Lord Uncle Zeus and the rest are too pleased about {#Emph}that. Artemis (Artemis_0422): No, but as major prophecies are concerned, it's really not that bad. And besides, it sounds like this new age of theirs might not be for a while, so... we'll worry about it then! ArtemisPostTrueEnding01 Artemis (Artemis_0410): The deed is done, or should I say the {#Emph}task {#Prev}is finally complete. But, you're right back to work! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4112): Yes, well... call it a habit, or an opportunity to check up on some things. And thank you, Artemis. I won't forget the flight of the Silver Sisters. Artemis (Artemis_0411): Apollo just {#Emph}had {#Prev}to come along, though I won't soon forget it either. Not felt a victory like that in ages. Wait, why {#Emph}are {#Prev}we still fighting? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4113): To destroy every last trace of the threat we faced, apparently. So I still need you around as much as ever. Artemis (Artemis_0412): You mean we get to keep {#Emph}this {#Prev}up, and I will have as much target practice as I want? Well {#Emph}OK! ArtemisPostTrueEnding02 Artemis (Artemis_0415): Things are better than I would have thought back home. Still odd to see us dealing with the remnants of the siege, but Father Zeus has been a lot less temperamental, finally. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4115): That's good to hear, and I'm glad you had the opportunity to be there yourself. So does this mean I won't be seeing you as much out here? They must want you back. Artemis (Artemis_0416): Well, between us, they still want me to keep an eye on you, powerful witch that you are. But, I do have to check in now and again, which I don't mind. They've been glad to see {#Emph}me{#Prev}, and to hear all about {#Emph}you{#Prev}, and... I can say hi to the Nymphs! ArtemisSendOff01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1193): Hey, Artemis. Is everything all right? Artemis (Artemis_0161): So much to talk about, so little time, Sister. I'm needed elsewhere, but I wanted to make sure to send you off. AthenaAboutArachne01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2437): Lady Athena, by your leave... we have a mutual acquaintance I would ask about, because... well... do you recall the weaver Arachne? Athena (Athena_0209): I seldom forget anything, Cousin. Especially not insolent mortals who see themselves as equals to the gods. Though she is not exactly mortal anymore. What of her? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2438): Well... she lives in Erebus now, near where I reside, and... she's so wretched about her appearance, which I understand is from a curse you wrought... doubtless entirely deserved, but... have mercy on her, Lady Athena. Please. Athena (Athena_0210): So many mortals grovel to me all the time. But goddesses? And on behalf of mortals far too prideful to grovel for themselves? Cousin, do not waste my time with this. AthenaAboutArachne02 Athena (Athena_0211): The mortal woman called Arachne. Have you any idea what she did? She fancied herself the greatest weaver in the world; superior even to me, if not the Fates themselves. Is it not our obligation, then, to remind mortals of their place? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2440): I... can't say I rightly know the answer to that, Lady Athena. Nor would I ever question your decision about her! I only ask if the term of her punishment could be less than eternal. She's humbled, and she's learned from her mistakes. Athena (Athena_0212): Has she, now? In my experience mortals can be {#Emph}very {#Prev}slow to learn. And she was not punished as a lesson to {#Emph}her{#Prev}, but as a lesson to {#Emph}everyone else. {#Prev}I do not go back on my decisions, Melinoë. For I don't make them lightly. AthenaAboutArachne03 Athena (Athena_0247): Your thoughts about Arachne are causing you distraction, which in turn is causing {#Emph}me {#Prev}distraction now. I would propose a means by which we could put this matter with her to rest. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4430): Truly? Please let me know what you have in mind, Lady Athena. Arachne is a friend, and if there's some way I could help her, I would. I already know the source of the curse... Athena (Athena_0248): And so you need for me to let it lapse. And while you cannot compel me, perhaps Arachne can, if she is now as different as you say. You know my Gorgon Amulet? Ask if she would speak with me through it. If so, I may make an appearance. AthenaAboutArachneQuestComplete01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4432): Lady Athena, I... I don't know what to say, except... I deeply regret the incident between you and Arachne. I was certain she sought your forgiveness, not an altercation. Athena (Athena_0255): I am less surprised by the outcome, but then I knew Arachne from before. Perhaps she did {#Emph}mean {#Prev}to apologize, until the moment she saw me again and all her scorn came rushing back. Nonetheless, what's done is done. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4433): ...I understand. Though, if I may ask... what did she do to have incurred your judgment? I know a weaving contest was involved, but only from her side of the tale. Athena (Athena_0256): Losing to some mortal was a humiliation I did not anticipate. Yet it was Arachne's arrogance that sparked my wrath, rather than any envy I had for her considerable talent. She had the nerve to call my work {#Emph}pedestrian. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4434): She insulted you... that was short-sighted, certainly, and as I understand she was quite young. Had she but known... Athena (Athena_0257): This last time, she {#Emph}did {#Prev}know. Yet she insulted me again. We do not expect much from mortals; merely penitence. For those such as Arachne, the best we can do is make examples of them. Now I shall spare her not another word. AthenaAboutAres01 Athena (Athena_0200): My half-brother Ares must be having the time of his life, wherever he resides. He relishes a good protracted war... why would he work with us to put an end to it? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2432): Do you suspect betrayal? If Ares isn't here, and the war rages... perhaps he's stoking the conflict on the other side. Athena (Athena_0201): The thought has certainly occurred to me, except... our enemy is no more interested in a war that lasts forever than we are. Whereas Ares wants only for the war to perpetuate, not for a victor to emerge. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2433): You know who else wants that is Eris. She's mentioned Ares before. You don't suppose they're working together? Athena (Athena_0202): From what I know of Strife, she's not prone to alliances. Yet, I cannot rule out the possibility. She's been impeding you along your route... perhaps she'll let slip some detail. AthenaAboutAres02 Athena (Athena_0239): So Ares has decided to participate in our family activities after all. Ever willing to compromise! For if one everlasting war cannot be had, he'd settle for an outcome that ensures more wars are still to come. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3173): I know your views of war are not the same as his. But I will not decline his power on the basis of beliefs. Which means I'm willing to compromise, too... if doing so brings victory. Athena (Athena_0240): Be careful with that line of thought, Cousin. Compromising to achieve consensus is one thing; but compromising on beliefs or principles... on {#Emph}ideals? {#Prev}Such reasoning is how wars often {#Emph}start{#Prev}, not merely end. AthenaAboutAutomatons01 Athena (Athena_0168): I'm yet to be convinced that these Automatons we use in our defense are as dependable as can be. I've told Hephaestus I won't tolerate their quirks; nor should you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2409): They are remarkable, but seem unable to fully distinguish your allies from your enemies. Perhaps Hephaestus can make improvements to their design. Athena (Athena_0169): Yes, that's on a long list of requests we have for him. We'll have to decommission and repurpose any existing models for that effort anyhow... so if you destroy some here and there, it's for the best. AthenaAboutChronosBossW01 Athena (Athena_0164): Cousin, is it true that you reached the heart of your father's Underworld and vanquished the Titan Chronos there? His forces unexpectedly fell back, and I dared not trust my intuition as to why. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2407): I did prevail against him recently, yes. One night we shall dispose of him entirely, but for now, small victories shall have to suffice. Athena (Athena_0165): Imperative victories are not small victories. Yet I fully understand the impulse never to grow complacent, and always to fight on. AthenaAboutCirce01 Athena (Athena_0215): There's some strange spell at work on you, for you seem different than before. Much... more substantial. Whether a blessing or a curse, I can't immediately say. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2442): It's a blessing, or at least I think it is. The craft of Madame Circe the Enchantress, whom I encountered on my voyage here. Athena (Athena_0217): Oh, her I do recall. She once created quite the predicament for a mortal seafarer whom I intended to protect, no one I think you'd know. I'd watch myself with her. AthenaAboutCirce01_B Athena (Athena_0216): There's some strange spell at work on you, for you seem different than before. Have you... shrunk down, Cousin? Whether a blessing or a curse, I can't immediately say. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2442): It's a blessing, or at least I think it is. The craft of Madame Circe the Enchantress, whom I encountered on my voyage here. Athena (Athena_0217): Oh, her I do recall. She once created quite the predicament for a mortal seafarer whom I intended to protect, no one I think you'd know. I'd watch myself with her. AthenaAboutCirce02 Athena (Athena_0218): You appear different than before. Another one of the enchantress Circe's unconventional blessings, then. Are you certain that she's aiding you, not... ridiculing you? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2443): Madame Circe would never use her transformation magick for ridicule. This is a powerful incantation... merely with certain side effects. Athena (Athena_0219): Never use her magick for ridicule? That doesn't sound much like the Circe I recall. Perhaps she's learned to behave herself, though I am not convinced... AthenaAboutCirce02_B Athena (Athena_0218): You appear different than before. Another one of the enchantress Circe's unconventional blessings, then. Are you certain that she's aiding you, not... ridiculing you? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2443): Madame Circe would never use her transformation magick for ridicule. This is a powerful incantation... merely with certain side effects. Athena (Athena_0219): Never use her magick for ridicule? That doesn't sound much like the Circe I recall. Perhaps she's learned to behave herself, though I am not convinced... AthenaAboutCurse01 Athena (Athena_0196): My understanding was that your brother suffered from a certain ailment that inhibited his vitality if ever he attempted to venture out of the Underworld. Yet you apparently have no such limitation? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2430): I merely found the means to slow the effect, but I can feel it encroaching even now. If our foes aren't able to drive me to retreat, my ailment eventually shall. Athena (Athena_0197): What can I say? You hide your troubles well, Melinoë. So yours is a race against time in more ways than one. I won't delay you any further then. AthenaAboutDionysus01 Athena (Athena_0198): I must say, Cousin... I've not seen such unity from our family in some time. Almost everybody stands together now against our foes. Though Dionysus, probably he's lying somewhere in a stupor. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2431): If Lord Dionysus hasn't taken up arms against the forces of Chronos, surely he has his reasons... Athena (Athena_0199): Oh, he does. Why should he callus his hands, when he could laze about feasting? He's fortunate I've more important matters to consider than locating him. AthenaAboutEphyra01 Athena (Athena_0280): Well at least it isn't snowing here. I thought such devastation would be concentrated on Olympus, but it has spread all the way to Ephyra. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4440): The Titan's legions may have ransacked this city for symbolic reasons... raising their banners while destroying any monuments to the Underworld King and Queen. Athena (Athena_0281): Ransacking requires no premeditation or strategic purpose, and the result of it is clear. But what I fail to see is how this helps persuade mortals to side with Titans over us. AthenaAboutErebus01 Athena (Athena_0272): These must be the dark woods of Erebus, somewhere near your base of operations. I can see why they left such an impression on Artemis. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4436): Welcome, Lady Athena! Perhaps Artemis feels somewhat at home in woods of any sort, even ones haunted by Lost Souls denied their eternal rest. Athena (Athena_0273): It's certainly a change from Mount Olympus. But I'm not here to survey the terrain, so quickly choose. AthenaAboutFates01 Athena (Athena_0190): The Three Fates themselves are gone, Hermes has said. Our situation grows that much more desperate, then. And yet... I never could depend on outside influence in my success; I trust you take no offense. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2427): No, I understand what you mean. Chronos feared some sort of Fated prophecy would do him in again, like when our fathers overthrew his rule. But if the Fates no longer are setting the course of what transpires... then we shall. Athena (Athena_0191): We shall. For the goal of any strategy is to leave as little as possible to chance. We count only on those who prove themselves dependable, and above all, ourselves. AthenaAboutFields01 Athena (Athena_0276): {#Emph}Ungh... {#Prev}these Fields of Mourning have some similarity to sprawling plains upon the surface, but the air hangs very heavy here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4438): Thank you for locating me even in such a place, Lady Athena. I wouldn't advise staying for long even if you could. Athena (Athena_0277): And I wouldn't advise getting run through by my spear, yet at times it must be done. May your journey through this place take not a moment longer than it must. AthenaAboutHecate01 Athena (Athena_0192): So Artemis discovered you within the mists of Erebus, under the tutelage of Hecate? Quite the tale. Would you care to elaborate? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2428): All I can say is Headmistress Hecate was under strict orders never to reveal me to anyone outside her inner circle. Not until our opportunity to strike at Chronos presented itself. Athena (Athena_0193): Very well. I was never under the delusion that our side of the family and yours kept no secrets from each other. Likely it's for the best. But, my position does require a certain thoroughness and curiosity, you understand. AthenaAboutHera01 Athena (Athena_0235): My Stepmother Queen Hera's favor isn't easily earned. You should know it's she who first desired your assistance here. You have more than her Boon, but her faith; fragile as it is. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2446): And I am grateful for it, but... do you happen to know why? I don't know what Her Majesty the Queen could have seen in me, especially since we'd never even met. Athena (Athena_0236): Perhaps it's that you represent a different course of action than the one we'd previously decided on, which came directly from my father your Lord Uncle Zeus. None of us like to be wrong about anything, but... we like victory more. AthenaAboutHeracles01 Athena (Athena_0231): You have perhaps encountered mighty Heracles along your route. He has surpassing strength and capability, but do report to me any suspicious actions on his part. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2445): I have encountered him, and seen him lay to waste droves of our foes, though he's not been keen on conversation. Which sorts of suspicious actions do you mean? Athena (Athena_0232): Consorting with our foes, defying our will, anything of that sort. I have no real reason not to trust him, yet... I've come to trust you more. AthenaAboutHobbies01 Athena (Athena_0194): All of this warfare leaves us time for little else. I used to weave, you know. Great tapestries and more! May I have opportunity to take it up again once all this is behind us. And you, what else has occupied your time? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2429): I, well... I like to spar! Improving my acuity and strength. And practicing my craft. Matters of magick, the living, and the dead. How they're connected. Athena (Athena_0195): I'm familiar with witchcraft, yes. Though, that all sounds like preparation for the matter you're now seeking to resolve! But I do realize it's not the time for flights of fancy, or even the discussion thereof. AthenaAboutKeepsake01 Athena (Athena_0203): You bear the Amulet I gave to you. May it protect you and strike fear into the hearts of your enemies, whenever I am not around to do the same. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2434): Thank you, Lady Athena. The creature engraved on this... it's a Gorgon, isn't it? A guardian of some sort? Athena (Athena_0204): Oh, not exactly, no. More of a cautionary reminder about what happens when we gods are openly defied. Don't lose your head out there, Cousin. AthenaAboutMortals01 Athena (Athena_0213): You got me thinking about mortalkind of late. I, too, have taken a personal interest in mortals and their plights. Many times. Especially in those who rise above their station. And I wish to honor their worship of the other gods and me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2441): Yet you said before that it's our obligation to remind them of their place... that they are ultimately powerless against us. Athena (Athena_0214): Yes, for they outnumber us greatly, and many grow resourceful and independent. Some do not think they need us, but they do. Both in life and in death, as your father would attest. Best not become {#Emph}too {#Prev}attached to any of them. AthenaAboutOceanus01 Athena (Athena_0274): The depths of Oceanus... I have often soared or sailed over these waters, but not often seen them from within. So this is how you circumvent Elysium. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4437): An indirect route to the lowest reaches, yes. Perhaps you'll frighten off some of the fishlike horrors. Athena (Athena_0275): Such base creatures have little capacity for fear, but we shall teach them of it what we can. AthenaAboutOlympians01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2414): It almost looks as though you're having to contend with the invaders on your own, Lady Athena. There's a lot of mountain to cover, with too few allies... Athena (Athena_0178): Well, we have {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Cousin. As for our {#Emph}other {#Prev}allies... we as a family are loath to beg assistance, or for anything. To all our followers and compatriots, our message has been clear: We have this matter well under control. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2415): Is that the truth of it, or merely posturing, if you'll pardon my bluntness? You are clearly being overrun. Athena (Athena_0179): On the contrary, our Automatons have quite effectively held many of our enemies at bay. And you and I can make a significant difference as well, if we don't dally. AthenaAboutPalace01 Athena (Athena_0301): My father's Palace is now closed for retrofitting, probably much like what's underway in {#Emph}your {#Prev}father's realm... leaving you with nowhere to rest after a hard night's work. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4451): It's all right, Lady Athena. I mustn't stay here longer than I have to, and recover far more swiftly where I'm from. Athena (Athena_0302): You fight as though you're unencumbered, but I know the surface weighs on you. It is impressive how you've learned to suppress this Fate-wrought weakness in your blood. AthenaAboutPersephone01 Athena (Athena_0187): After we settled certain troubles with your brother's situation at home, your mother Persephone, she would regularly return to Olympus for part of each year. I should have trusted my instincts when one day she failed to show... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2425): Presumably when Chronos struck. Wouldn't her sudden disappearance have been cause for considerable alarm? Athena (Athena_0188): You'd think. However, we knew your mother was with child, and our conclusion was that your new family wanted privacy. So we waited patiently, not realizing it as Chronos gained his foothold. A grave miscalculation on my part... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2426): Your father and mine first fought and vanquished Chronos long before either of us was born. You couldn't have expected the Titan Lord to suddenly return. Athena (Athena_0189): Yet if I'm to be the strategist upon Olympus then I have to consider each possibility, however unlikely, that can threaten our peace. At any rate, a lesson harshly learned... AthenaAboutPrometheus01 Athena (Athena_0158): Beware ahead. The Titan Prometheus is able to elude me, knowing that I'm focused on his vanguard forces. But he'll have no choice but to confront you if you press on. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2403): He's the Titan of Foresight. He knows exactly what we're planning, doesn't he? And can retaliate accordingly. Athena (Athena_0159): He knows what is to come to some extent, yes. But he can only see outcomes, not read minds. And just because he knows you're coming doesn't mean he can stop you. AthenaAboutPrometheus02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2405): Have you confronted Prometheus before? You mentioned he's been able to elude you. Perhaps he knows he'd stand no chance against you if you fought. Athena (Athena_0162): I knew Prometheus prior to all this. I suppose our tendencies toward matters of the mind connected us. You know that he stole the gift of fire for mortalkind. Well... he also gave them reason, from me. Some of them, anyway. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2406): I shudder to think what mortals must have been like before they had any reason. Although perhaps Prometheus ought to have kept some reason for himself. Athena (Athena_0163): Perhaps he thinks he did, or has as much as he requires. Unfortunately, reason tends to be in lesser abundance than most would dare to admit. AthenaAboutPrometheusL01 Athena (Athena_0160): Even if you're thwarted by the Titan Prometheus, it is a benefit to our war effort. For if he's having to confront you, then he's unable to cause his mayhem elsewhere. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2404): That is of little consolation to me, Lady Athena. This is not his first crime against Olympus and our family; thus his punishment is to be even more severe. Athena (Athena_0161): Do not concern yourself with that. His prior punishment inspired this still-greater transgression, rather than remorse for his past deeds. For the moment, our strategy merely requires that he not stand in our way. AthenaAboutSelene01 Athena (Athena_0207): The Moon herself assists you, that I know. We often underestimate her here, believing all she does is faintly light the sky. But I know there is more to her than that. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2436): Selene may be a Titaness but she's an ally to us through and through. She upholds Night's will, as do I. Athena (Athena_0208): Nyx's will is none of my concern, Cousin. But apparently it's yours, and Nyx has likewise been an ally to Olympus in the past. If you trust Selene's involvement, that is enough. AthenaAboutShrine01 Athena (Athena_0205): This night is darker than so many others of late, and our foes appear emboldened. Some new trick of Chronos, or... perhaps merely my imagination from fighting for so long. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2435): It isn't your imagination but the will of Night herself, Lady Athena. And though the effect may seem to our detriment for now, we shall grow stronger for it, I assure you. Athena (Athena_0206): Such assurances mean little to me typically, Cousin. But you know more about the darkness than I do. If this truly is the will of Night, and not the work of our enemy, then good. AthenaAboutSummit01 Athena (Athena_0284): Such horrors have befallen our proud summit. This is intolerable... I ask myself how I might have prevented it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4442): I would have no good answer, Lady Athena. Olympus is facing a coordinated attack on multiple fronts, from the air, earth, and sea. Your Automatons can only do so much. Athena (Athena_0285): But we can {#Emph}always {#Prev}do more even if those mindless machines cannot. We could have done more! For now, though... we had best focus on the resolution, not the cause. AthenaAboutSummit02 Athena (Athena_0286): So then it's true, what Chronos said... these possibilities that Typhon could have remained. Or perhaps the Gorgon Amulet is letting me share your hallucinations now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4443): It all seems real enough to me... especially having retraced my path up to this point. But we can stop this here just as we did before. Athena (Athena_0287): Then that is what we shall do. There is no reason to change strategies as long as they keep yielding good results. AthenaAboutSurfaceThreat01 Athena (Athena_0172): Have you felt the growing tremors during your approach, Cousin? I don't care for them at all. Lord Uncle Poseidon at first acted as though they were his doing, but not even he seems to know the source... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2411): In the Underworld, we experience tremors all the time, for the Earth is all around us, living and breathing. But I'm surprised such shaking could be felt all the way up here... Athena (Athena_0289): Perhaps because it's more than the Earth living and breathing. Our enemy is behind this, I am certain of it. AthenaAboutTalos01 Athena (Athena_0170): I must apologize about your confrontation with the particularly large and dangerous Automaton called Talos. It detects traces of the Underworld on you, and, well... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2410): It's a magnificent creation, and Lord Hephaestus should be proud... though, the methods by which his Automatons detect threats could probably use a comprehensive rework. Athena (Athena_0171): I shall be certain to relay the suggestion. Unfortunately Lord Hephaestus prioritized a self-repairing system in Talos over threat-detection, so it may continue to be an issue for now. AthenaAboutTartarus01 Athena (Athena_0278): All this gold... what has become of Tartarus? The Titan Chronos rendered it almost entirely unrecognizable... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4439): Perhaps when next I use the Gorgon Amulet to summon you here, you could ask him yourself, Lady Athena. Athena (Athena_0279): Oh, would that I could and the Amulet were even stronger. But all strategies have limitations. My blessing rather than my presence shall have to do as you approach your goal. AthenaAboutThessaly01 Athena (Athena_0282): This sailing-vessel's rotting deck... we are amid the Titan's fleet in Lord Uncle Poseidon's Rift. You use such means to reach our mountain every night? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4441): Well... some nights I go to the Underworld instead, but otherwise, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, yes. I've not had much success learning to fly or shift between the realms. Athena (Athena_0283): I laud your ingenuity... you, or whoever plotted such a course, that turns the enemy's advance to an advantage. AthenaAboutTimePassing01 Athena (Athena_0174): You are a welcome sight, Melinoë, for it has been some nights since last we met upon the battlefield like this. How fares the war beneath the Earth? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2412): It rages on. Night after night the Titan's legions regroup, while he asserts that he cannot be stopped. But I am working on disproving that. And what news here? Athena (Athena_0175): The mountain stands, as you can see, and that is what matters. Perhaps your presence and a corresponding shift in strategy shall lead us to the breakthrough that we need. AthenaAboutTyphon01 Athena (Athena_0222): You've seen what plagues us at the summit, haven't you? The source of all the tremors... almost as though the mountain itself quakes with fear. We need a plan... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3168): The gods have stood against Typhon before. Wasn't it a well-placed thunderbolt from Zeus that did him in? Athena (Athena_0223): Tales of valor and {#Emph}deeds {#Prev}of valor are not always one and the same. Then let us lure this Typhon toward the summit, where our strength combined with yours is the best opportunity we have... and please take care, Cousin. AthenaAboutTyphonDeath01 Athena (Athena_0243): I have been called a savior many times, and take some pleasure in overturning near-hopeless situations. But recently, it was my own hope that faltered... until {#Emph}you {#Prev}restored it. The Father of All Monsters is truly gone. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4426): Olympus belongs to the gods... Typhon's destruction was a necessity. I may have been the one to deliver him to the void, but the doing of it took our combined strength. Athena (Athena_0244): You chthonic gods and your modesty. Be {#Emph}proud{#Prev}, Cousin! You have achieved a glorious result, for which we all are thankful. I knew I {#Emph}had {#Prev}to trust you. But I also felt I should. AthenaAboutTyphonL01 Athena (Athena_0224): Thank the Fates that you eluded Typhon's fury. And you created enough of a diversion that we were able to fortify our defenses and keep that monstrosity at bay, for now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3169): But he'll be back. Have you discovered any weaknesses of note? I'd rather do more than distract him. Athena (Athena_0225): A being of that size will not have many weaknesses... although no creature likes to be jabbed in the eyes; and Typhon has a great many of them, for better or worse. And if we muster all our powers... perhaps we can drive him back. AthenaAboutTyphonPlan01 Athena (Athena_0241): Cousin, after much consideration, I admit the best plan that I have for stopping Typhon at this point... is to rely on {#Emph}you. {#Prev}The next best alternative available would be most dire. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4425): Lord Uncle Zeus alluded to some force that could potentially defeat that monster, but bring great harm to Olympus in the process... is that the alternative you mean? Athena (Athena_0242): It is. My energies, as you can see, are focused on repelling our enemy's forces here. But it seems I shall also have to dissuade my father from taking a catastrophic course, if but to buy you time. I'm counting on you... we all are. AthenaAboutTyphonW01 Athena (Athena_0226): We were able to repel that monstrous Typhon thanks to your aid! So it {#Emph}can {#Prev}be done! Only the contemptible thing soon recovered and commenced his climb once more... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3170): There has to be a way to vanquish Typhon utterly, not just slow him down. But if slowing him's the best result we can achieve for now... so be it. Athena (Athena_0227): The so-called {#Emph}Father of All Monsters... {#Prev}I heard the tales many times of course, but {#Emph}seeing {#Prev}him... I felt my courage almost falter; which was more frightening even than the thing itself... AthenaAboutTyphonW02 Athena (Athena_0228): That Typhon seems only to grow angrier each time we withstand his rage. A clever ploy for Chronos to set such a thing on us... keeping us occupied, while he plots his next move. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3171): Whether clever or reckless, I'm not yet convinced. Chronos is counting on Typhon turning all his violence against Olympus, but after that...? Not even {#Emph}he {#Prev}can control such an abomination. Athena (Athena_0229): Perhaps Chronos means to seal the monster away once we are no longer a threat. At any rate, we don't intend to let any such outcome transpire. AthenaAboutUltimateProgress01 Athena (Athena_0233): First you vanquished Chronos in your father's realm, then in turn you toppled Typhon from our mountain's heights. I must admit, I underestimated you when first we met. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3172): I've trained my entire life for this eventuality, Lady Athena. It's what should be expected of me, and besides... our war isn't over yet. Athena (Athena_0234): You trained with Hecate to vanquish Chronos, that I know. But Typhon was never part of your practice routine. Yet I, too, dislike compliments especially when, to your point, our war is not yet won. AthenaAboutWeapons01 Athena (Athena_0220): You bear the Arms of Night. I suspected it when we first met but now my doubt is gone. Should the Underworld be imperiled, those weapons are to be the last resort, fine. But they seem well outside their jurisdiction here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2444): The peril that the Underworld faces evidently spread even to this mountain. For my part, the Nocturnal Arms have proven equally dependable above the surface and below. Athena (Athena_0221): Make certain that you keep their power well in check, as well as their hunger. I much prefer my weapons not to have intentions of their own, but can't deny their potency. AthenaAboutZagreus01 Athena (Athena_0185): How strange it is to meet you face-to-face. Your brother Zagreus I spoke to many times, though by Boon all but once. You must know he had his struggles at home. Now it seems your side of the family is repaying us for back then. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2424): If there's a debt to be repaid then I am unaware, Lady Athena. I'm here because our family is in peril, my side and yours. Athena (Athena_0186): Of course, and it wasn't my intent to suggest otherwise. I'm merely reflecting on the change of circumstance. Well then, one Boon deserves another. AthenaAboutZeus01 Athena (Athena_0166): You should know, my father your Lord Uncle Zeus is somewhat skeptical of your ability to turn the outcome of the war here in our favor. He believes we should be able to fend for ourselves; and I don't disagree. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2408): Lady Athena, are we supposed to stand united as a family or aren't we? This isn't the time to be prideful. Athena (Athena_0167): With that, I don't disagree either. Nevertheless, our family seems incapable of standing united for long. If we could... this war never would have started. AthenaChat01 Athena (Athena_0006): I shall ensure this area remains secure for now; make your advance! AthenaChat02 Athena (Athena_0007): Continue your ascent, as I shall keep what passes for the Titan's armies occupied. AthenaChat03 Athena (Athena_0008): They never seem to learn, do they? But neither do they ever seem to stop. AthenaChat04 Athena (Athena_0009): I trust that our defenses have not proven too much of a hindrance to you here. AthenaChat05 Athena (Athena_0010): When our family stands united, there's no hardship that we cannot overcome. AthenaChat06 Athena (Athena_0011): I've wrath to spare for all those you shall confront on your way to the summit. AthenaChat07 Athena (Athena_0012): Make haste toward the Palace, Cousin, and my blessing be with you. AthenaChat08 Athena (Athena_0013): Another victory is within reach; go take it, and I'll cover you as you proceed. AthenaChat09 Athena (Athena_0014): Battle rages all around us still, Melinoë. Then let us finish what our enemies began. AthenaChat10 Athena (Athena_0015): This mountain stronghold of ours shall never fall, try as the Titan might. AthenaChat11 Athena (Athena_0016): Climb forth, Cousin, and may your foothold never falter on the way. AthenaChat12 Athena (Athena_0017): Go quickly but with care; my father and the rest await you at the summit. AthenaChat13 Athena (Athena_0018): I'm grateful that you're back, so that the next stage of our plan can now unfold. AthenaChat14 Athena (Athena_0019): You're all the reinforcements we require, and I'm ever-grateful that you're here. AthenaChat15 Athena (Athena_0020): Would that we could fight together, yet we accomplish more going our separate ways. AthenaChat16 Athena (Athena_0021): Our foes swarm at us like insects, and we shall deal with them as such. AthenaChat17 Athena (Athena_0022): I knew that I could count on you to be here tonight precisely at this time. AthenaChat18 Athena (Athena_0023): Many such victories are still to come before our war is finally ended. AthenaChat19 Athena (Athena_0024): It is not enough merely to vanquish our enemies; let us make an example of them. AthenaChat20 Athena (Athena_0025): The peak of Olympus awaits; go, and I'll ensure you need not watch your back. AthenaChat21 Athena (Athena_0026): I know you've scores to settle in the Underworld, so thank you for being here. AthenaChat22 Athena (Athena_0027): Your skill alone has brought you to this point, although perhaps I may assist. AthenaChat23 Athena (Athena_0028): Let our enemies rue the moment they deigned to stand against we gods. AthenaChat24 Athena (Athena_0029): It is as though the Moon herself directed me to your position here tonight. AthenaChat25 Athena (Athena_0030): Our family has endured for aeons; this shall pass, as does all else. AthenaChat26 Athena (Athena_0031): All those who dare oppose us or our rightful rule shall be given no quarter. AthenaChat27 Athena (Athena_0032): Proceed immediately to the Palace and I'll cover you, Melinoë. AthenaChat28 Athena (Athena_0033): What use is a good strategy without the necessary skill to see it through? AthenaChat29 Athena (Athena_0034): The Titan's forces know nothing of fear, but I trust that they can still be taught. AthenaChat30 Athena (Athena_0035): May the Boon I now bestow provide a difference in the battles yet to come. AthenaEncounterKeepsake.EquipVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_3761): The Amulet. Athena (AthenaKeepsake_0303): {#Emph}Cousin. Athena (AthenaKeepsake_0304): {#Emph}Melinoë. AthenaFirstMeeting Athena (Athena_0002): The noble Princess of the Dead, at last! I am your cousin Athena, and proud to welcome you to Olympus. Yet I could be prouder, as this wasn't always such a miserable place. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2401): Hail, Lady Athena, and well met! Please call me Melinoë. Now where can I direct my wrath, that we may liberate your mountain stronghold and see its glory all restored? Athena (Athena_0003): Well met indeed, Melinoë. The wretched Titan's armies have infiltrated our most sacred grounds. On them, your wrath may be well-spent; especially as you rise toward the summit, where most of our family now takes refuge. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2402): The Palace of Zeus. And what of you, why aren't the others out here fighting by your side? Athena (Athena_0004): Because that is precisely what our strategy requires, for they aided your arrival, did they not? Now, let us go our separate ways, and may my blessing aid in your ascent. AthenaGift01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2416): Lady Athena, while we have a moment, I wish to offer you this Nectar as a token of my gratitude. If I'd only known that we would meet here, perhaps I'd have arrived even sooner. Athena (Athena_0180): Nonsense, for I'm certain that you made your journey here as quickly as you could. Well, I of course accept your offering, though shall be saving it for when our victory's achieved. {#Emph}This{#Prev}, however, you may be able to use sooner... AthenaGift02 Athena (Athena_0181): {#Emph}Huh. {#Prev}Try as I might to consider each possibility, partaking of Nectar in the midst of this conflict that we're in is quite unthinkable. Still, it's something to look forward to. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2418): If it's something to look forward to, then it's a greater gift than I thought. The idea of a sip of Nectar while at peace... it does sound good. AthenaGift03 Athena (Athena_0182): Your gesture is unnecessary. Warring mortals often make me offerings in hopes that I might guide them to victory. But you and I have a shared purpose, so I require no such incentives in our case. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2419): This is no incentive, merely a way of saying thank you. For accepting me, and recognizing what potential I may have to aid our family in a time of need. AthenaGift04 Athena (Athena_0183): You honor me, and have my thanks. This Nectar, it's been to the Underworld and back... along with you. It'll take on a particularly complex flavor, I should think. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2420): If this bottle indeed traveled to the ends of the earth before returning home, then it's all the more suited to someone of your wisdom and experience. May you enjoy it once you lay down your arms. AthenaGift05 Athena (Athena_0184): At this rate, we might someday have ourselves a feast to rival one arranged by Dionysus himself! Then let us fight with all our might to bring about such an enticing possibility. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2421): Here's to a future where you've time enough for feasting, not just military strategy. Though I'd not want to see you battle Dionysus, even when it comes to organizing feasts! AthenaGift06 Athena (Athena_0237): You'd think being surrounded by family would mean being surrounded by like-minded folk, except... not many on Olympus think as I do. None, I daresay. Yet you... well, one difference is, I'd never deign give Nectar at a time like this. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2422): Lady Athena, I am honored to have joined your fight, and to have earned your blessings and your faith. I sometimes overlook the need to express my gratitude, and so rely on this Nectar to do it for me. Athena (Athena_0238): Let it be said that we are goddesses of action, not words; and I accept your thoughtful, if oddly timed, offering. Though, let this be the last until our foes all lie in ruin. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2423): Of course. AthenaGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4427): I have something of a symbolic gift for you, Lady Athena, for I know Ambrosia shall flow in abundance on Olympus again soon. May this particular bottle contribute to the restoration, and remind you of our victories. Athena (Athena_0245): I need no reminders of our victories, nor shall your generosity be forgotten during or after the restoration that inevitably is to come. What would we have done if not for you...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4428): The Olympians have reigned for aeons, overcoming innumerable threats and setbacks. All this is but another; you would have figured out a way. {#Emph}Especially {#Prev}you. Athena (Athena_0246): So adept at deflecting compliments even without my Boon. Then very well! Better to be modest than a braggart, I suppose. But you might aspire to be somewhere in between. Either that, or we should all be more like you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4429): Let's all be who we are. AthenaGrantsReward01 Athena (Athena_0288): I've something here for you, Cousin. Seeing as you remain instrumental to our mountain's ongoing defense. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4444): I'm honored, Lady Athena. A family such as ours ought to stand together during times of need. I wish to do my part. Athena (Athena_0230): You have impressed not only me but all our kin; most of them, I should say. And for that, I bestow my greatest power. May it soon bring about still greater victories. AthenaLowHealth01 Athena (Athena_0176): You're injured, Cousin... though I shouldn't be so surprised. It is a grueling climb to reach this point, and you traversed the Rift of Thessaly as well. Are you all right? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2413): I can press on in this state, Lady Athena. Though whether I've the strength to surpass Prometheus, let alone what awaits beyond... that I can't guarantee. Athena (Athena_0177): In war there are no guarantees save bloodshed, as Ares surely would attest, wherever he may be rejoicing. Now let's get you back to proper fighting shape. AthenaPostEpilogue01 Athena (Athena_0294): ...I had considered how we would proceed if by some chance the Three Fates were never found. What I did not anticipate was that they {#Emph}would {#Prev}be found, yet still take leave of their responsibilities... so I am told. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4447): They've been weaving for aeons, and perhaps felt weary or even underappreciated. That, or they liked what they saw while their weavings were on hold. They did give us a big new prophecy as a sort of parting gift. Athena (Athena_0295): A prophecy about another age, that we gods shall relinquish our dominion to mortals... it's difficult to believe. But then, these things never unfold precisely as they sound. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4448): No... and for that matter, I couldn't tell whether the Fates were angry, or disappointed, or anything like that... on the contrary, they seemed enthusiastic. Athena (Athena_0296): They are weavers, whose tapestries reveal the vast and complicated tale of history. Perhaps they seek merely to entertain, and we are but characters they have to work with. AthenaPostEpilogue02 Athena (Athena_0297): So many battles have been fought and many yet remain. But we goddesses are tireless. You can count on me for as long as you choose to press on. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4449): Choose to press on... at times I feel obligated, Lady Athena. The possibilities of Typhon and Chronos... who shall stop them if not us? Athena (Athena_0298): A proper strategy requires taking every reasonable precaution, but can also be adapted should the need arise. Let us account for as many possibilities as we see fit, but never to the detriment of other matters of concern. AthenaPostTrueEnding01 Athena (Athena_0290): We have achieved a monumental victory, Cousin. Although the annihilation of one's enemies can be a serviceable outcome in war, surrender often is preferred. I trust the others have expressed their gratitude? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4445): Yes, of course. And congratulations to you all, Lady Athena. My only regret is that this siege cannot immediately cease, given what's left to be done. Athena (Athena_0291): Abandon that regret, for the rabble that still plagues Olympus is nothing. As for Prometheus, though I am skeptical about his role in this new strategy, I have persuaded Father to go along with it, for now... AthenaPostTrueEnding02 Athena (Athena_0292): Now you are to confront these traces of our great foes, both at the summit and in Tartarus... re-creating the path that got you there, as though the possibilities need to align...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4446): That's how our grandfather explains it, more or less. Almost like we're circumventing outcomes in which we might otherwise have failed for one reason or another. Athena (Athena_0293): There ought to be very few such outcomes then. For we do not fail; merely take the necessary time to succeed.

ChaosAboutAres01 Chaos (Chaos_0289): You bear the Boon of violent Ares, who often worships me more than his kin; for without creation, there can be no destruction, he says. And I believe he is entirely correct. ChaosAboutArtemis01 Chaos (Chaos_0178): I am aware the goddess of the hunt has lately plied her trade at the boundaries between realms. Artemis was not always so bold; but it is little wonder she was drawn deeper into shadow. You seem to know each other well. ChaosAboutBounties01 Chaos (Chaos_0042): I anticipated speaking to you thus as you explore the possibilities within the standing-stone. Perhaps you see them as a series of important missions to complete; but they are merely part of our experiment. ChaosAboutBounties02 Chaos (Chaos_0209): Perhaps I should not actively participate within the Trials of my own design, for I unduly influence the outcome. But I believe this way, it shall be much more interesting for us both. ChaosAboutBounties03 Chaos (Chaos_0210): The Trials I devised all begin precisely as planned; but from that point, not even I can influence the outcomes entirely. For instance, I did not expect to find {#Emph}you {#Prev}here, Spawn of Hades. ChaosAboutBounties04 Chaos (Chaos_0279): You have completed a number of the Trials I have put before you, Spawn of Hades. I would offer you my gratitude, except I thought my Star Dust would be of more use. ChaosAboutBountyBoard01 Chaos (Chaos_0041): You have restored the standing-stone where you reside, and now can see the possibilities within. Should you assist me in exploring my ability to determine outcomes like the Fates themselves, I shall make it worth your while. ChaosAboutBountyBoardUnlock01 Chaos (Chaos_0040): I sense that you have not yet activated the pitch-black standing-stone as I requested earlier. You may take as long as you wish to do so. Our experiment proceeds nevertheless. ChaosAboutBountyChaosIntro01 Chaos (Chaos_0208): Your usage of the pitch-black standing-stone enables me to temporarily emerge from my abyss, and I thank you for that. I can observe more clearly, both the outcome of your Trial, and all else. ChaosAboutBountyProgress01 Chaos (Chaos_0290): You need not have participated in the Trials I devised, nor provided quite as many interesting outcomes to observe. But you decided to of your own will nevertheless. Our acquaintance therefore was not a mistake. ChaosAboutChaosGateItem01 Chaos (Chaos_0204): A Spark of Ixion brought you to me... an ember from the flame forever burning in the Underworld. Its light reveals gateways into my abyss, and relieves the common side effects of entering. I recommend continued use of it. ChaosAboutChaosGates01 Chaos (Chaos_0203): I understand entering gateways to my domain is not a pleasant sensation, and my mark by its nature yields mixed results. Thus I ask myself why you often venture here; perhaps you merely wish to look upon me thus. ChaosAboutChronos01 Chaos (Chaos_0043): Time, of course, did not always exist. Chronos provided a means of measuring the rate at which everything grew and changed, or did not. He was quite useful by his very nature. But Time can be a source of problems, too, I know. ChaosAboutChronos02 Chaos (Chaos_0044): I believe that I am an impartial being, Spawn of Hades. However, even I can be provoked, as Chronos soon shall come to realize. Our experiment concerns his fate; if he believes that he can change his fate, then so may we. ChaosAboutChronos03 Chaos (Chaos_0045): I shall hold Chronos to account for what has come to pass. But I am not without blame, myself. For I fear that I made present matters worse. We shall see whether any such mistakes can be corrected. ChaosAboutChronosFight01 Chaos (Chaos_0102): There was a certain rumbling I felt within the depths... you reached your destination, did you not? Confronted Chronos, and prevailed. And yet his influence remains. But perhaps the Titan shall relinquish control with further persuasion. ChaosAboutChronosNightmare01 Chaos (Chaos_0098): The weavings of the Fates are said to bind both mortals and immortals alike. The course and outcome of all lives, all preordained. Thus the sense of choice is merely an illusion. Do you believe this, Spawn of Hades? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1209): I think the Fates determine much about our lives... when and where we are born, for instance, and to whom. But I don't think they set every detail. And, I know they're not weaving at all right now... because Chronos has them. Chaos (Chaos_0099): I see. For the most part, I concur with your assessment. I am the reason Chronos has them now. He asked me where to find them, and I decided to tell him; to verify such choices could be made without their influence. Now do you understand my quandary? Respond... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1210): Oh, no. Almighty Chaos, you were deceived! Chronos wished to find the Fates for his own gain. They were one of the only forces in this world powerful enough to stop him. Chaos (Chaos_0100): Yet they are not so powerful as they appeared. Nevertheless, I think you are correct. Chronos indicated his intentions were benign. I am unfamiliar with deceit, and was misled. I remain quite displeased about this still. ChaosAboutChronosNightmare01_B Chaos (Chaos_0098): The weavings of the Fates are said to bind both mortals and immortals alike. The course and outcome of all lives, all preordained. Thus the sense of choice is merely an illusion. Do you believe this, Spawn of Hades? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1209_B): I think the Fates determine much about our lives... when and where we are born, for instance, and to whom. But I don't think they set every detail. And, I know they're not weaving at all right now... Chaos (Chaos_0099): I see. For the most part, I concur with your assessment. I am the reason Chronos has them now. He asked me where to find them, and I decided to tell him; to verify such choices could be made without their influence. Now do you understand my quandary? Respond... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4565): Oh, almighty Chaos, you were deceived. Chronos is different now, but back then wished to find the Fates for his own gain, as one of the forces in this world powerful enough to stop him... Chaos (Chaos_0100): Yet they are not so powerful as they appeared. Nevertheless, I think you are correct. Chronos indicated his intentions were benign. I am unfamiliar with deceit, and was misled. I remain quite displeased about this still. ChaosAboutChronosNightmare02 Chaos (Chaos_0101): In retrospect, I ought not have permitted Chronos to speak with me, but he was persuasive. I still do not fully understand how you communicate; what you say is not always what you mean, and your intentions may be carefully veiled. So I pay closer notice now. ChaosAboutCreation01 Chaos (Chaos_0038): Responsibility is partly mine for all that has transpired. I attempted to create this world with a degree of care. I nurtured it; adhered to certain principles, as might a mother and father, for I created {#Emph}them{#Prev}, too. But this world is no longer young. It persists now by its own whim. ChaosAboutDemeter01 Chaos (Chaos_0177): The goddess Demeter is set for war, and lends to you her wrathful strength. The mother of your mother has experience fighting Titans... her predecessors. You all have grown so numerous that very little common ground remains. ChaosAboutEris01 Chaos (Chaos_0201): One of the offspring of the goddess Nyx, the one called Strife... I find it interesting Nyx spawned one such as her, but then, we all make mistakes. I acknowledge all that I have wrought can be seen as disorderly as well. ChaosAboutFamily01 Chaos (Chaos_0200): The Olympians often speak of family, but I do not entirely understand what they mean. All beings have a common origin, yet are not considered family. Chronos, for example: Is he family, or not? I shall not ask you to respond. ChaosAboutFates01 Chaos (Chaos_0330): Recently the Titan Chronos summoned me, providing many explanations as to why my quandary exists. I did not follow every detail, but observed a different connotation than when last we met, resulting in the disappearance of the Fates. Should I not have accepted his apology? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4004): Almighty Chaos, whether his apology rang true or not isn't for me to say. But I do think the change you heard in Grandfather was a comprehensive one. Can you not work together now to try and find the Fates? Chaos (Chaos_0331): The Titan Chronos also volunteered more than I asked. I understand your answer, but am not open to further inquiry. Perhaps the Fates shall be located, or perhaps not. ChaosAboutFishing01 Chaos (Chaos_0343): Here in this space, there is a living specimen you may procure. I do not care for it, for there are others of its kind. I gave them ability to replicate, and to find purpose in the act. ChaosAboutForm01 Chaos (Chaos_0334): We are as beings ever-changing, in a way. The particles that form us die and are reborn. From my observance of your relatives and their unusual custom, I have attempted to extrapolate a form more suitable to them; and perhaps you. ChaosAboutHades01 Chaos (Chaos_0205): I cannot know what it is like to meet one's creator, but you may, and perhaps have. Your father is no longer in his residence, where I sense much has changed. Yet he is not far from there. Perhaps I shall assist you in locating him. ChaosAboutHecate01 Chaos (Chaos_0207): You come from a domain not of the surface nor the Underworld, but between. The caretaker of that domain I have seen occasionally for some time, and serves the goddess Nyx; you are reminiscent of her to me. ChaosAboutHephaestus01 Chaos (Chaos_0175): The blessing of Hephaestus is upon you. The god of the forge fashions arms and armor fit for war, whilst I created the very things he uses for his trade. No one's work is solely their own, Spawn of Hades. ChaosAboutHera01 Chaos (Chaos_0171): You know the one called Queen Hera of Olympus. She has a certain power over creation, herself. Mortals worship her, begging her favor as they bond and bring their offspring into being. She must enjoy the attention. ChaosAboutHermes01 Chaos (Chaos_0179): We have eternity to conduct our experiment. I am unconvinced as to whether the results shall come more quickly with the haste of Hermes benefiting you. That is another facet to explore. ChaosAboutHestia01 Chaos (Chaos_0174): Even the goddess Hestia has lent you her power. She typically has been content merely to stoke the little flames warming the hearths of mortal homes. But now those flames threaten to spread beyond even her control. ChaosAboutKeepsake01 Chaos (Chaos_0052): You bear the Embryo I gave to you. It creates an impression as though a part of me is with you, even whilst you are absent from this space. You may continue to make use of it, or not. ChaosAboutKeepsake02 Chaos (Chaos_0296): I sense the Embryo you have of mine has grown to some extent. It shall not come of age for quite some time; but you have nurtured it, and it has been of some small service in exchange. I wonder have you given it a name...? ChaosAboutKeepsakeQuest01 Chaos (Chaos_0293): You remain partial to the Embryo you have of mine, and I would see you journey farther with it still. Would you consider the specifics of my thoughts? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3645): If there is something I may do for you, Almighty Chaos, then you need but ask. Where might I take the Embryo? Chaos (Chaos_0294): Take it from the beginning of your journey to the end. Do not replace it on the way, but reach your destination with it there; in the Underworld or on the surface, we care not. This shall serve only to amuse the Embryo and me, and perhaps you. ChaosAboutKeepsakeQuest01_B Chaos (Chaos_0357): The Embryo you have of mine: I would see you journey farther with it still. Would you consider the specifics of my thoughts? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3645): If there is something I may do for you, Almighty Chaos, then you need but ask. Where might I take the Embryo? Chaos (Chaos_0294): Take it from the beginning of your journey to the end. Do not replace it on the way, but reach your destination with it there; in the Underworld or on the surface, we care not. This shall serve only to amuse the Embryo and me, and perhaps you. ChaosAboutKeepsakeQuest02 Chaos (Chaos_0295): You traveled far bearing the Embryo I gave to you, which was an interesting matter to observe, and in accordance with the Fates' design. But did they spur your actions, or did you, or I? Further amusement to consider. Thus, thank you. ChaosAboutLife01 Chaos (Chaos_0028): When I created life, I had my doubts: Would it invite more problems than it solved? I would be curious to see. Thus my experiment continues to unfold; its outcome, yet uncertain. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0765): Almighty Chaos... with your experiment so vast in scope, what can one individual achieve? The quandary you mentioned when first we met... what would you have me do? Chaos (Chaos_0029): Spawn of Hades, I ought to clarify I do not care for idle talk. Ask me no questions. Respond only when prompted, or when necessary in absolute. But above all, do as you will. ChaosAboutNemesis01 Chaos (Chaos_0198): Recently a daughter of Nyx entered my domain. Such is her likeness that I mistook her for her mother-goddess at first, for many beings appear similar to me. I shall permit her here. ChaosAboutNemesis02 Chaos (Chaos_0199): That daughter of Nyx resembling her mother-goddess is assisting with my quandary, much like you. She is dutiful, but some offspring are not. Perhaps I should have ensured all obeyed; but that would not be quite as interesting. ChaosAboutNyx01 Chaos (Chaos_0046): The Fates' designs for us perhaps are intertwined. For we each seek our close kin. I have lost contact with my spawn and daughter, Nyx, who resided in your father's House. Her influence remains, yet I feel her absence... ChaosAboutNyx02 Chaos (Chaos_0197): If Chronos holds the goddess Nyx as captive in your father's House, along with other members of her family and yours, then I would like for that to change. Perhaps he shall release them if you use sufficient violence. ChaosAboutNyxAspect01 Chaos (Chaos_0344): I momentarily mistook you for the goddess Nyx, for she once had a similar appearance as with yours. Less so your stature and your shape; rather the artifact surrounding you. There is no reason you should have it had Nyx not permitted this. ChaosAboutOlympians01 Chaos (Chaos_0036): The Olympians send you their blessings and their messages, having some limited awareness of your circumstances and your whereabouts. So shall it be with me, whilst you are here. ChaosAboutPoseidon01 Chaos (Chaos_0172): You have been visited by Lord Poseidon. The waters that he claims are his, they were among the first of my creations, and turned out rather well I think. I wonder if he comprehends the extent of the power they conceal. ChaosAboutPostSurface01 Chaos (Chaos_0214): You have been exploring the surface of this world, where my influence is comparatively limited. I was amused to consider the possibilities, though I did anticipate you would return. ChaosAboutPrometheus01 Chaos (Chaos_0288): The Titan you know as Prometheus bestowed on mortals sacred fire from Olympus, in an interesting moment I did not entirely expect. How shall that fire be used hence, and in so many different hands? ChaosAboutRandomBounties01 Chaos (Chaos_0297): Welcome, Spawn of Hades, to my most-preferred type of experiment. Here, almost nothing is controlled; the possibilities become so numerous, that to consider all of them shall take some time. ChaosAboutRandomBounties02 Chaos (Chaos_0335): You are familiar with what you know as the three realms: the heavens, surface, and the Underworld. But I know there to be a fourth, which you are in right now. And Possibility encompasses the rest. ChaosAboutSayingLittle01 Chaos (Chaos_0345): Spawn of Hades, I have no further wishes to communicate with you this often at this length. I likely shall use fewer words with you henceforth, I think. ChaosAboutSelene01 Chaos (Chaos_0180): Selene rides across the sky, yet her attentions she directs towards you. Perhaps she is wondering, {#Emph}what is the Moon without Night? {#Prev}Yet I suspect that she is capable in Nyx's absence. ChaosAboutShrine01 Chaos (Chaos_0211): I sensed the growing influence of the goddess Nyx; as though my daughter plunged the world into deeper darkness recently. Yet it was not she who did this; I believe it was you. ChaosAboutStarDust01 Chaos (Chaos_0215): The act of creation is not always pristine. The residue of it you know as Star Dust, which retains some power over consciousness. Consider it an incentive to look upon the standing-stone and undertake the Trials you see there. ChaosAboutSurface01 Chaos (Chaos_0032): When you return to shadow, I briefly sense your presence in the infinite abyss. So I have seen that the servant of the Three Fates found you in that hidden place. He relayed to you a secret, did he not? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0767_B): You mean Moros. His secret was about the surface... about how I can survive up there. I know this goes against the Fates' designs, but Olympus needs me. Chaos (Chaos_0033): I see. As you may know, I am uninterested in the Fates having undue influence. Perhaps you may find a catalyst here for this incantation. Whether they like it or not. ChaosAboutSurface02 Chaos (Chaos_0034): Recently I found myself unable to detect you much at all, and deduced that you must have completed your forbidden incantation. Thus the surface is laid bare to you. Perhaps I shall ask you to describe it to me sometime. ChaosAboutSurfaceAppearance01 Chaos (Chaos_0035): Your ability to reach beyond the boundaries that the Fates placed upon you proved inspiring to me. After some consideration, I discovered how to call upon you even from the surface of this world. I find it rather interesting there. ChaosAboutSurfaceAppearance02 Chaos (Chaos_0202): Perhaps I ought to start over again: That is what I think when I observe all that has transpired on the surface of this world. Eventually I expect I shall, though for now, I permit my offspring to continue to multiply and interact as they will. ChaosAboutTitans01 Chaos (Chaos_0206): What are the essential differences between Titans and gods? I cannot easily distinguish the two. Yet those differences must be significant, if they provoked a self-perpetuating war. ChaosAboutTrust01 Chaos (Chaos_0037): Some who sought to answer my call turned out to lack the fortitude for the descent. Thus I never call on mortals anymore, and seldom anyone. For Titans and gods can be duplicitous, I know. I ask that you do not betray my trust. ChaosAboutTyphon01 Chaos (Chaos_0282): I understand the being you call Typhon presents a significant problem for the Olympians, and now also for you. I had not necessarily expected he and Chronos would join forces; perhaps this is why I could not detect Typhon's reawakening. ChaosAboutTyphon02 Chaos (Chaos_0283): The being that you know as Typhon is the product of an earlier experiment of mine. I sought for my creations to surprise and multiply, but perhaps not to that extent. And I cannot unmake him now. ChaosAboutTyphon03 Chaos (Chaos_0284): I find it interesting that the being you call Typhon has prioritized destruction above all. Perhaps I created more than I ought to have, and now this counteracting force has emerged. For creation self-corrects. ChaosAboutTyphon04 Chaos (Chaos_0287): Perhaps you wonder if I am responsible for Typhon in some way, for I created that from which he spawned. I, too, have wondered this, and my conclusion is that I am as responsible for Typhon as Chronos is responsible for you. ChaosAboutTyphonDeath01 Chaos (Chaos_0321): Recently I ceased to sense the being you call Typhon, which is unusual considering his size. I have been wondering whether this indicates some sort of trouble I am having, or if Typhon merely is no longer there. Which do you think? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4003): The Father of All Monsters is destroyed, Almighty Chaos. It was an action I did not take lightly, but the threat against my family was significant and pervasive. He left us no choice. Chaos (Chaos_0322): You could have chosen the destruction of Olympus; nonetheless, I understand why you did not. The power to unmake creations such as that... I would be curious to learn it for myself. Although perhaps I would not use it sparingly. ChaosAboutWeapons01 Chaos (Chaos_0216): I recognize the artifacts you bear. Their brother-weapons of infernal origin drink deep the blood of Titans and grow strong, whilst these? Fate-forged servants of the Underworld that thrive on pure Nightmare itself. ChaosAboutZagreus01 Chaos (Chaos_0030): I once created a similar arrangement with a different Spawn of Hades. He was an interesting subject. The interval since last we met grows ever-longer now. Do you know his status? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0766): You mean my brother Zagreus. Chronos took him, along with my parents and their closest associates. They're in the lowest reaches of the Underworld, where I am headed now. Chaos (Chaos_0031): I see. Time appears to be the source of many problems recently. As for your brother, I found him to be quite amusing. How interesting that offspring can be so dissimilar. ChaosAboutZeus01 Chaos (Chaos_0170): You bear the blessing of the King of the Olympians himself. I expected that he would have been too preoccupied to be of direct assistance, although he does have a vested interest in your victory... ChaosChat01 Chaos (Chaos_0004): Whatever shall transpire, I shall be curious to see. ChaosChat02 Chaos (Chaos_0005): You have a proposition to continue to uphold, O Spawn of Hades. ChaosChat03 Chaos (Chaos_0006): Let us continue our experiment, if you would make your choice. ChaosChat04 Chaos (Chaos_0007): My mark shall be of benefit, once the initial discomfort subsides. ChaosChat05 Chaos (Chaos_0008): The Spawn of Hades has returned, and has a choice to make. ChaosChat06 Chaos (Chaos_0009): What is life, if not a series of unexpected complications? ChaosChat07 Chaos (Chaos_0010): How shall I reshape your existence this time, Spawn of Hades? ChaosChat08 Chaos (Chaos_0011): The results of our experiment are not entirely conclusive as of yet... ChaosChat09 Chaos (Chaos_0012): This world is born of impulse, not of carefully considered plans. ChaosChat10 Chaos (Chaos_0013): I have no patience for discussion, Spawn of Hades, so you need but choose. ChaosChat11 Chaos (Chaos_0014): Collect your thoughts whilst you are here, but do not stay for long. ChaosChat12 Chaos (Chaos_0015): I am amused to find myself again swept up in the affairs of gods. ChaosChat13 Chaos (Chaos_0016): You may take comfort in the darkness and the silence here. ChaosChat14 Chaos (Chaos_0017): There are no decisions that are not life-changing, Spawn of Hades. ChaosChat15 Chaos (Chaos_0018): Reality is what we make of it, O Spawn of Hades; or I, at least. ChaosChat16 Chaos (Chaos_0019): For your convenience, I have reduced infinite possibilities to three. ChaosChat17 Chaos (Chaos_0020): The Fates have their whims, as we have ours, is that not so? ChaosChat18 Chaos (Chaos_0021): I trust our arrangement continues to be of interest, Spawn of Hades? ChaosChat19 Chaos (Chaos_0022): Do as you shall with my mark; my eyes shall be watching. ChaosChat20 Chaos (Chaos_0023): So many different possibilities to be explored, in no particular order... ChaosChat21 Chaos (Chaos_0024): Do you believe the Fates planned for this outcome, or did I? ChaosChat22 Chaos (Chaos_0025): I must admit life has become a rather complicated thing... ChaosChat23 Chaos (Chaos_0026): Allow me to make your coming venture more interesting from the very start. ChaosChat24 Chaos (Chaos_0027): Perhaps the Fates themselves expected we would meet this soon. ChaosChat25 Chaos (Chaos_0337): There are innumerable possibilities but I shall offer three, one for each of the Fates. ChaosChat26 Chaos (Chaos_0338): As you have come to me, I shall create in you a temporary change. ChaosChat27 Chaos (Chaos_0339): The Fates did not decide you would return to me; it was either you or I. ChaosChat28 Chaos (Chaos_0340): Your actions yet provide a source of some amusement, Spawn of Hades. ChaosChat29 Chaos (Chaos_0341): Your frequent visits to this space suggest to me my mark is generally to your benefit. ChaosChat30 Chaos (Chaos_0342): If you remain here for too long, you shall dissolve into this space; so I suggest you go. ChaosChat31 Chaos (Chaos_0346): Assist with my experiment, and benefit. ChaosChat32 Chaos (Chaos_0347): Time appears to be the source of many problems recently. ChaosChat33 Chaos (Chaos_0348): You need not venture far to find me, Spawn of Hades. ChaosChat34 Chaos (Chaos_0349): We have eternity to conduct our experiment. ChaosChat35 Chaos (Chaos_0350): The act of creation is not always pristine. ChaosChat36 Chaos (Chaos_0351): How interesting that the smallest beings often prove to be superior. ChaosChat37 Chaos (Chaos_0352): You are amusing, Spawn of Hades, more than I originally thought. ChaosChat38 Chaos (Chaos_0353): Welcome, Spawn of Hades, to my most-preferred type of experiment. ChaosChat39 Chaos (Chaos_0354): I shall look forward to the outcome of this new endeavor. ChaosChat40 Chaos (Chaos_0355): Responsibility is partly mine for all that has transpired. ChaosChat41 Chaos (Chaos_0356): Respond only when prompted, or when necessary in the absolute. ChaosFirstPickUp Melinoe (MelinoeField_0763): What sort of Boon is this, in such a place? Well, {#Emph}in the name of Hades! Olympus... {#Prev}are you there...? Chaos (Chaos_0097): Olympus cannot hear you, Spawn of Hades. But I can. And I have for you a proposition: Assist with a quandary of mine, and benefit. Your response? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0764): Almighty Chaos...! I'm honored to make your acquaintance. Wh-what sort of quandary would concern the Origin of All Existence...? And, how do I fit in? Chaos (Chaos_0003): Time shall tell. But at present, I have inferred that your response, in essence, was affirmative. Thus, may our newly formed arrangement prove most interesting. Accept my mark, and go; and later I shall open the abyss for you again. ChaosGift01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0768): If you'll permit me, Almighty Chaos, I wish you to have this gift of Nectar, in accordance with my family's custom among relatives and friends. None of this would have been possible if not for you... Chaos (Chaos_0048): Then I shall grant you this wish, and the freedom to bestow upon me further gifts as you see fit. For I have familiarity with this custom of yours, and am prepared to reciprocate. ChaosGift02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0770): Almighty Chaos, I wish to exercise my freedom here by giving you this. Though I suppose you probably could have made it yourself... Chaos (Chaos_0049): This Nectar that you offer me is quite an interesting substance. When I created the fabric of reality, I had a sense of the ways in which it could be used; but I did not necessarily anticipate all possible results, including this one. ChaosGift03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0771): I know such sweetness as this Nectar is never to be taken for granted, Almighty Chaos. Please, it's yours! Wondrous creations such as this are only possible because of you. Chaos (Chaos_0050): Such gestures are unnecessary to the arrangement between us. If this is an act of supplication, then simply speak your mind. Although I sense no deeper motive presently... ChaosGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0772): You can sense my motive in giving you this. Sometimes we simply feel an impulse to express our admiration. Knowing how important your whims are to you, surely you understand. Chaos (Chaos_0051): The Olympians often demand tribute from their worshipers, do they not? Their custom, perhaps, but not mine. I merely ask that you honor our arrangement in perpetuity. Though neither shall I reject your offering. ChaosGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1774): It's heartening to know that the Origin of All Existence also is a source of such limitless curiosity. Here's to finding great interest even in the simplest of things! Chaos (Chaos_0168): Substances such as this Nectar... is it not interesting how they can be made, but not unmade? Everything, in essence, is itself. Thus your offering to me is truly unique in its own right. And I thank you for it. ChaosGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1775): Such a strange journey your creations take, Almighty Chaos! This particular bottle, for instance... formed after untold aeons, only to find its way back to {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Inevitably or not. Chaos (Chaos_0169): I still possess some of the Nectar that your brother once gave to me, when he was dealing with a certain quandary of his. I think that I shall keep this offering close by to that. You follow in his path, yet seem to choose your own way. ChaosGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3642): Almighty Chaos, please accept the greatest delicacy for which my family is known. I know it's less than nothing in a way; but for us, it's a symbol of the bonds we share. Chaos (Chaos_0291): I am unmoved by this Ambrosia that you offer me yet understand this substance is considered valuable and relatively rare. I wonder why you give it to me now, and wish to know; therefore, respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3643): You seem to like unguarded truth, Almighty Chaos, and it's that I am very much in awe of you. Your attention and your aid mean more than I can say. My family gives Ambrosia when mere words cannot suffice. Chaos (Chaos_0292): Your insufficient words have been of greater impact than your gift; I shall accept it all nevertheless. You are amusing, Spawn of Hades, more than I originally thought. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3644): {#Emph}Erm... {#Prev}cheers? ChaosGrantsBountyBoard01 Chaos (Chaos_0039): To make the most of our arrangement, I bid you activate a certain artifact where you reside. Within the pitch-black facets of this standing-stone are possibilities to be explored. I shall reveal how to see them all, but first... ChaosGrantsDarkness01 Chaos (Chaos_0047): Once there was Darkness all throughout the Underworld, but now... Chronos works to re-shape the realm to suit his preferences. However, there shall always be Darkness here in this space. And I have made it visible to you. ChaosGrantsDarkness01_B Chaos (Chaos_0047_ALT): There shall always be Darkness here in this space. And I have made it visible to you. ChaosLowHealth01 Chaos (Chaos_0053): You have suffered in your journey to reach me. Perhaps I should reward your struggle; or hasten your likely failure. You shall have to decide. ChaosLowHealth02 Chaos (Chaos_0054): I created life, which later gave rise to death; so I can sense how close you are now to the latter state. Even if your godhood means that you can never truly die, it must be quite unpleasant. ChaosLowHealth03 Chaos (Chaos_0055): Your present ailments are not beyond my notice. Perhaps it was unwise of you to visit me within this space whilst you are in such a state. Though I have also made mistakes before. ChaosLowHealth04 Chaos (Chaos_0056): I understand that physical injuries, such as the ones you have sustained, mean little to you gods. Though even gods are able to withstand only so much. Thus, caution is advised. ChaosPostEpilogue01 Chaos (Chaos_0332): The Three Fates are at last returned, and that is well; thus your assistance with my quandary is complete. But as to whether you discovered {#Emph}them {#Prev}or {#Emph}they {#Prev}decided to return remains unclear. They create far more questions now than I. ChaosPostEpilogue02 Chaos (Chaos_0333): I am quite interested in control. Once I alone possessed it, until the Fates took some of it from me; then they were gone, after the Titan Chronos had returned. Now they are back. Whose choices have been made...? Everyone's. No one's. ChaosPostTrueEnding01 Chaos (Chaos_0317): I sensed upheaval in the earth the likes of which I have not felt before; the tenor of it more than the intensity. Something transpired in your father's residence, and Chronos vacated. Why would he take an action such as that? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4001): Respectfully, Almighty Chaos... Chronos has had quite a change of heart. I found my brother Zagreus who aided me in bringing it about. Our grandfather conceded in his war against Olympus, and now seeks to make amends. Chaos (Chaos_0318): An interesting change. The absence of detail raises many different questions, which I shall explore. The outcome that you sought has been achieved, yet you seem to pursue it even still. My mark therefore remains available to you. ChaosPostTrueEnding02 Chaos (Chaos_0319): I have one further inquiry concerning what transpired in your father's House. Chronos conceded in his war, you said, yet you continue fighting battles as before. Why is that so? Respond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4002): Almighty Chaos, Chronos can explain it far better than I, but Time is like a river seeking to flow freely forth. Yet it can be obstructed and change course disastrously. Essentially, I'm having to re-trace some of my steps to prevent that. Chaos (Chaos_0320): As one who dwells in possibility, I understand. Preventing infinite possibilities, however remote they may be, shall take some time. But Chronos must be well aware of that. I shall look forward to the outcome of this new endeavor. ChaosPostTrueEndingAboutNyx01 Chaos (Chaos_0327): Your meeting with the Titan Chronos set in motion many series of events, resulting in the liberation of the goddess Nyx. That is an outcome I had sought, so for this daughter of mine, I shall give you gratitude. ChaosPostTrueEndingAboutUnderworld01 Chaos (Chaos_0326): You reached your father's residence then disappeared, becoming undetectable to me. This was the work of Chronos, was it not? A transference into another realm of possibility, which you attempted to shut from the inside out... ChaosPostTrueEndingAboutUnderworld02 Chaos (Chaos_0325): I sense a difference now within the Underworld's depths, yet the environment itself is much the same. Those who oppose you still oppose you, so that you may now re-trace some of your steps. This shall result in different outcomes, certainly. ChaosPostTrueEndingAboutZagreus01 Chaos (Chaos_0336): I understand your brother has returned. Perhaps he shall come visit me again as once he did. Whichever mark he does not choose, you may receive from me instead. ChaosPostTrueEndingRunCleared01 Chaos (Chaos_0324): I sensed a faint trace of the being you called Typhon once again, then it was gone. Perhaps a current emanating from the river you called Time, and you found a way to put a stop to it. One fewer possibility, yet there are many more. ChaosPostTrueEndingSurface01 Chaos (Chaos_0323): You are continuing your journeys to Olympus though the being you called Typhon is no more; for there are battles to be fought as yet, whilst following the footsteps that you made. Is this what Chronos has discovered about Time...? ChaosRunStart01 Chaos (Chaos_0057): As you commence your evening's pursuit, you may be best prepared to receive my mark and overcome its undesirable effects. Subsequently you shall have more opportunity to test the limits of the possibilities that it creates. ChaosRunStart02 Chaos (Chaos_0058): You need not venture far to find me, Spawn of Hades. For I am everywhere, particularly where the darkness coalesces into seeming nothingness. Perhaps we shall see each other again when you are closer to your goal. ChaosUnderworldRunCleared01 Chaos (Chaos_0212): There was a recent moment when Time briefly ceased to be, and I alone could tell. I believe this coincided with your confrontation with Chronos. Now you return to me, attempting to repeat the same outcome. Interesting. ChaosUnderworldRunCleared02 Chaos (Chaos_0213): You recently entered your father's residence within the Underworld's depths, but did not remain there. Did you at least discover what you sought? Do not respond; I am considering all the potential truths. ChaosUnderworldSurfaceCleared01 Chaos (Chaos_0285): I was unable to detect you for some time, but then the earth itself shuddered as though an object of very substantial size fell from considerable height. That must have been the being you call Typhon. Did you cause him to fall? Do not respond. ChaosUnderworldSurfaceCleared02 Chaos (Chaos_0286): I am familiar with what you recently achieved, despite Typhon's comparatively different size and strength. How interesting that the smallest beings often prove to be superior; is my conception of strength incorrect? ChaosWithNyx01 Chaos (Chaos_0328): At present, I remain in conversation with the goddess Nyx. My mark is yours as always, but I bid you leave us afterward; though take however long you wish, for we can wait. ChaosWithNyx02 Chaos (Chaos_0329): I felt an emptiness that was unusual to me after the goddess Nyx was temporarily taken away. Now that she has returned, that emptiness is mostly gone; especially whilst she is here. CharonAboutArachne01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2013): Do you think Arachne's going to be all right in all of this, my lord? The surface was no longer welcoming, or safe, for her. And now, I fear that Erebus is not much better off... Charon (Charon_0053): {#Emph}Mmrrrnnnggghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_2014): You're right. She's twice as resourceful as just about anybody. {#Emph}Four {#Prev}times! Just... look out for her, would you? CharonAboutArtemis01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1818): It's reassuring to know Artemis has been keeping track of things around here lately, my lord. She seems unusually well-supplied... Charon (Charon_0056): {#Emph}Hhrrraaauuggghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1819): Oh, I won't tell a soul. CharonAboutArtemisSinging01 Charon (Charon_0110): Mmmm, {#Emph}mmmmrrnnnn... Melinoe (Melinoe_4184): You picked a fine time to make your deliveries, my lord. That's Artemis singing nearby! Although perhaps such music isn't to your taste. Charon (Charon_0111): {#Emph}Mmmm... CharonAboutChaos01 Charon (Charon_0080): {#Emph}Kkhhhaauuugghh, heehhhh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1586): You can sense it, can't you, my lord? The mark of Primordial Chaos. It seems I have another patron from the ranks of the chthonic gods. CharonAboutCharonAspect01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1757): The Nocturnal Arms entrusted me with other Aspects of themselves, including this one that I think was yours, my lord. Did you... relinquish the Moonstone Axe, knowing I was to be its next bearer? Charon (Charon_0085): {#Emph}Nrrraaauuuggghh, krrrnnhhh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1758): I'll bear it to the best of my ability. CharonAboutCharonPoints01 Charon (Charon_0135): {#Emph}Rrnnngghh, huuaaahhh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4505): Something about your Gold Rewards... in which I've achieved Silver status now? Oh thank you very much, my lord! I'm pleased to be a loyal customer of yours. CharonAboutChronosBossW01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3259): We got him finally, Lord Charon! The Titan can be slain... if but to complicate his schemes a little while, till we can put a stop to him for good. Charon (Charon_0075): {#Emph}Nrrghhh, hrrrnnn... Melinoe (Melinoe_3260): Yes. My father's throne shall be restored. CharonAboutDanger01 Charon (Charon_0038): Hrrrnn, {#Emph}nrraauugggghhhhrrrrhhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1201): I shall, my lord. Until then, we each have our tasks to complete. CharonAboutErebus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1300): It must be so frustrating, Lord Charon. Watching the dead of Erebus wallow here with no place to go. You'll send them on their way yet. Charon (Charon_0045): Grrnngghh, {#Emph}hrraaauuuggghh...! Melinoe (Melinoe_0055): Until then. CharonAboutEris01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1582): Eris returned to the Crossroads, my lord. Forgive me for speaking ill of one of your siblings, but... I always fear the worst when she's around. Could she be working against us? Charon (Charon_0077): {#Emph}Mnngghghhhhh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1583): If only she was more like you. CharonAboutFates01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1298): You know already, don't you, my lord? About the Three Fates. That Chronos has your sisters in his thrall. Lord Moros is safe with us, at least. Charon (Charon_0044): Kkhhh, {#Emph}kkhhrrrraaauugggghhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1299): Do you truly think so...? CharonAboutGold01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1197): All of this tainted Gold... you'll see that it's disposed of properly, Lord Charon? Charon (Charon_0035): {#Emph}Kkkkhhhrrrssssshhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1198): I long to see that night. CharonAboutGold02 Charon (Charon_0002): {#Emph}Sssshhhhhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1196): Yes, Lord Charon. You'll have what Gold I may find, as I require what supplies you may spare. CharonAboutHeraclesShopping01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3377): Supplying goods to mighty Heracles! Sometimes I wonder whom else you provide for, my lord. Not that you'd say. Charon (Charon_0109): {#Emph}Nnnrrrraaauuuggghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_0423_B): Oh. CharonAboutHermes01 Charon (Charon_0050): {#Emph}Hrrrmmmmmm... Melinoe (Melinoe_1817): I'm certain he's all right, my lord. This is Hermes we're talking about! It's not like anyone could catch him, even if he were in peril. Charon (Charon_0051): {#Emph}Nrrgghhh... CharonAboutHermes02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2011): I heard from Hermes at last, my lord! He didn't get into the details of what he discovered, though perhaps you know more. Charon (Charon_0052): {#Emph}Auugggghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_2012): I understand. It's not my wish to pry. CharonAboutHermes03 Melinoe (Melinoe_1203): Hermes wanted me to tell you {#Emph}hey{#Prev}, my lord. A message he'd surely deliver himself if he could. Though he seems well enough. Charon (Charon_0040): {#Emph}Hhhrrrrrmmmm... Melinoe (Melinoe_1204): Of course, my lord. CharonAboutHermes04 Melinoe (Melinoe_4243): I've run into Lord Hermes at the summit of Olympus, making preparations against Typhon with the rest. Have you been able to cross paths with him? Charon (Charon_0101): {#Emph}Hrrrmmm, mmrrrrngghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_4244): So, not for very long. CharonAboutHermesKeepsake01 Charon (Charon_0102): {#Emph}Aauugggh{#Prev}, hhrrrrmm... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3372): {#Emph}Swiftness...? {#Prev}You mean the Metallic Droplet that I have, my lord. A gift from Hermes himself! No better way to reach your finest wares as soon as possible. Charon (Charon_0078): {#Emph}Rraaauuggggghhhh... Charon (Charon_0103): {#Emph}Hrraahhh... CharonAboutHermesMission01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3261): No sign of Hermes yet, my lord...? Forgive my impatience, I know infiltrating our enemy's ranks and discovering the details of his plans to conquer Olympus is sensitive work... Charon (Charon_0089): {#Emph}Hrrmmmnnngggggghhhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_3262): He'll be back any evening now I'm sure. CharonAboutHiddenAspect01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3530): This is it, my lord! The hidden aspect of Nergal that I would never have revealed if not for you. Is this some warrior-god from a distant land, or time? Charon (Charon_0131): {#Emph}Nrrrggghhh, haaaa... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3531): Then perhaps both... CharonAboutKeepsake01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1584): I bear the gift you generously gave to me. A Keepsake to bring fortune on such nights. Things are looking up already! Charon (Charon_0078): {#Emph}Rraaauuggggghhhh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1585): Well it can't hurt... CharonAboutKeepsake02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2837): This Gold Purse that you handed me before... each night I find it brimming with coins... which must mean technically I'm in your debt. Charon (Charon_0092): {#Emph}Nnnaauuugghh, hrrnnn... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2838): Whatever you say, my lord. CharonAboutMoros01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1814): I met one of your brothers, Lord Charon. It was Moros. He delivered to me a certain artifact, but then was gone. Do you know of the {#Emph}Fated List? Charon (Charon_0046): {#Emph}Hhhhhoooohhhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1815): It's been in my family's care before...? Though, what of Moros? Where could he have gone in all of this? Charon (Charon_0047): {#Emph}Nnnggghhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1816): Perhaps I can locate him again. CharonAboutMoros02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2007): Lord Charon, Moros returned! He's joined us at the Crossroads. Now we've no fewer than {#Emph}three {#Prev}mighty sons of Nyx within our ranks. Granted, one's always fast asleep... Charon (Charon_0048): {#Emph}Huunnnnnggghhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_2008): Forgive me, I must not have understood. Hypnos is of greater use this way...? Charon (Charon_0049): {#Emph}Hmm, hmm... CharonAboutNemesis01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1296): You're not particularly close with your brothers or sisters, are you? When you chance to visit us, Nemesis all but ignores you... Charon (Charon_0043): Nrrrmmm, {#Emph}hhaaaaahhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1297): I know, it's just... CharonAboutNemesis02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1587): I know that you've seen Nemesis about. She's supposed to be at her post, but... I think you probably can understand. Whatever it takes for the family and the realm, right? Charon (Charon_0080): {#Emph}Rrrrauuggh, heehhhh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1588): Then may she go unseen. CharonAboutNemesisShopping01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3375): I see you have another customer, my lord. First come first served, is it? Charon (Charon_0108): {#Emph}Hrrrraauugghhh, haaahhh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3376): I'll hurry it up. CharonAboutNyx01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1294): Your mother Nyx, my lord... I saw her lately in a nightmare or a dream. She was very beautiful... and she was unharmed, I think. Charon (Charon_0042): Mrmmm, {#Emph}nrruuunnngghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1295): We're going to find her. I swear it. CharonAboutOlympians01 Charon (Charon_0087): {#Emph}Hrrmmmm, nnnrrraaauggghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_3263): Yes, my lord, I met Apollo, Grandmother, Uncle Poseidon... I've known Artemis and Hermes for so long, I'm impressed they kept my secret from the others all this time. Charon (Charon_0088): {#Emph}Grrrnhhh... CharonAboutOlympus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2840): I made it all the way up to the mountain of the gods, my lord! Though I missed you up there. Never thought I'd see a place you couldn't reach by boat. Charon (Charon_0096): {#Emph}Grrnnnggghh{#Prev}, hrreehhhh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2841): You have a very good distributor. CharonAboutPackagedBounties01 Charon (Charon_0106): {#Emph}Krraaahhhh, hhrrrnn... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3374): You sense it too, don't you? A strange feeling in the air... the influence of Chaos all around us. I'm being tested even now. Perhaps all of us are... Charon (Charon_0107): {#Emph}Mmmmmnn... CharonAboutSelene01 Charon (Charon_0054): {#Emph}Ssshhhaaaahhh...? Melinoe (Melinoe_2009): I did encounter her, my lord. And I thank the Fates Selene's light is visible in Erebus, for I know she cannot shine much farther past the edge of this realm. Charon (Charon_0055): {#Emph}Mrrrrnnnnggghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_2010): And you as well. CharonAboutShrine01 Charon (Charon_0081): {#Emph}Hrrnnnaauggghh, haaauuggh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1589): Yes, my lord; I spoke the Oath, if that is what you mean. Thus in shadow, I serve; and to shadow I'll return, ere comes the light of Dawn. Charon (Charon_0082): {#Emph}Hrrnnngghh... CharonAboutShrine02 Charon (Charon_0104): {#Emph}Hooaaaaahhh, hrrmm... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3373): You sense the Testament of Night I think, my lord. So that your mother Nyx's influence may never fade, whether in the Underworld or beyond. Charon (Charon_0105): {#Emph}Nrrrhhh... CharonAboutSmuggling01 Charon (Charon_0036): {#Emph}Haaaa{#Prev}, hrrrnnnnggghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1199): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}We'll have to see how much Chronos still loves his Gold after all this. The good thing about traitors is their loyalties can be bought... CharonAboutSpeaking01 Charon (Charon_0037): Mmmm, {#Emph}hrrrrmmmm{#Prev}... Melinoe (Melinoe_1200): It's a pity we've so little opportunity to speak, Lord Charon. Though I'm grateful to be seeing you more frequently of late. CharonAboutSurface01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1205): You've come to aid me even here, Lord Charon? Though I imagine not even you can travel much farther, where I'm headed... Charon (Charon_0041): Nnnn, {#Emph}nnrrrggghhhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1206): I won't forget your generosity. CharonAboutSurfaceShops01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2842): The Shrines of Lord Hermes that I've seen around the surface... I noticed they take offerings of Gold as well. I take it the two of you are back in business, then? Charon (Charon_0097): Hrrrrmmm, {#Emph}nnrrrraaauggghh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2843): Then may business be good. CharonAboutTartarus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3257): You were able to reach the House of Hades before me, my lord. Doubtless why that final stretch was clear. You must know I was unable to prevail. Just have to give it another go, won't we...? Charon (Charon_0074): {#Emph}Hrrrnn, haaaaahhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_3258): Thank you for your support. CharonAboutThanatosAspect01 Charon (Charon_0147): {#Emph}Guuhhhh, raauuugggghh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4514): You mean this scythe... you recognize it as your brother's then, my lord. Well I may not be Death Incarnate, but shall wield his blade as deftly as I'm able in his honor. Charon (Charon_0148): {#Emph}Mmmm... CharonAboutThessaly01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1926): My Lord, is this your ship? It is remarkable, although I fear with all the hostile vessels everywhere that it may come to harm... or even you. Charon (Charon_0086): {#Emph}Grrnn, neehhhhhhhh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1927): Smooth sailing all the same. CharonAboutTravel01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1202): You've sailed far from your usual course, Boatman. Not solely on my account, I trust? Charon (Charon_0039): Ssshhh, {#Emph}hrrrraaauuuggghhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_2274): Your generous aid is much appreciated, lord. CharonAboutTyphon01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4240): I reached the summit of Olympus finally... they're fighting back against Typhon himself! Perhaps you knew already... Charon (Charon_0098): {#Emph}Hreeeehh, hrrmmm... Melinoe (Melinoe_4241): He's quite enormous, yes. CharonAboutTyphon02 Charon (Charon_0099): {#Emph}Hraaaauugghhh, haaaahhh...! Melinoe (Melinoe_4242): We vanquished Typhon, at least for the night, my lord! Hermes ensured that I was well-supplied. Plenty of Gold for you lately! Charon (Charon_0100): {#Emph}Graauuggghh... CharonAboutWellShops01 Charon (Charon_0094): {#Emph}Rnnggghhh, ggraagghhh...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2839): The reappearance of your Wells is certainly no accident, my lord. All it took was the appropriate incantation! Little by little, we shall restore the old order. Charon (Charon_0095): {#Emph}Hhhaaughh... CharonAboutZagreusFight01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5037): Lord Charon, why didn't you say anything about those Infernal Contracts I've started to see? I wound up in an inadvertent clash with Zagreus! Charon (Charon_0150): {#Emph}Graaahhh, hrrrmmm...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5038): Well, you know what I mean. And no I {#Emph}didn't {#Prev}win! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5039): Well, you know what I mean. And yes, I {#Emph}won! CharonChat01 Charon (Charon_0003): {#Emph}Hrrrrmmmmmm... CharonChat02 Charon (Charon_0004): {#Emph}Khhhrrrrraaauugghhh...

Melinoe (MelinoeField_1581): I'm in your debt, Lord Charon. These provisions surely shall make all the difference in my task. What Gold I find is yours. CharonGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1301): Would you indulge me for a moment, Boatman? If we're to restore the old order around here, I was thinking why not start like this? Charon (Charon_0024): {#Emph}Hhhhrrrrnnnngggghhh...? CharonGift02 Charon (Charon_0023): {#Emph}Oooohhhhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_1208): Indeed, Lord Charon. May we soon restore the old customs between our families, and bring about a new aeon of prosperity. CharonGift03 Charon (Charon_0090): {#Emph}Auuggggghhhhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_3383): I know you require only Gold, my lord. Nevertheless, I wanted to give you something more! I've always found your commitment to the realm and to your discipline inspiring. CharonGift04 Charon (Charon_0091): {#Emph}Nrrrghhhhh, hauuuugghhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_3384): Perseverance is what got us to this point, my lord. May your resolve never waver! Whenever mine does, I take comfort knowing I have such dependable allies. CharonGift05 Charon (Charon_0132): {#Emph}Nraaauuggh, guhhh... Melinoe (Melinoe_5438): You really should try it sometime, my lord! Nectar is one of the things just about everybody on Olympus can agree on, and that must mean something, right? CharonGift06 Charon (Charon_0133): {#Emph}Hrrnnnmm, nnrrrr... Melinoe (Melinoe_5439): I know you never would permit yourself indulgences, my lord, but... you ought to receive more than mere coin in recompense for all your service! Perhaps the Nectar's but another token gesture. Charon (Charon_0134): {#Emph}Ehhh... CharonGift07 Melinoe (Melinoe_5440): I've heard in times past, you'd discreetly transport shipments of Ambrosia all the way into the depths of Tartarus. And knowing you, my lord, you would never sample your own wares, so here. This is a gift, not a delivery. Charon (Charon_0136): {#Emph}Hoohhhhh, hrrrnnnn... Melinoe (Melinoe_5441): May there soon come such a time... CharonGift08 Melinoe (Melinoe_5442): Here, my lord. If you plan to keep the other Ambrosia bottle in reserve, perhaps you could share this one with a professional associate. No need to save it for later. Charon (Charon_0137): {#Emph}Auuugggghh, mmmm...? Kkrrnnn... Melinoe (Melinoe_5443): ...I've merely strived to better understand you, knowing it was never about words or gifts. You are the Boatman of the Underworld... a mighty son of Nyx... and the most dependable sort of comrade I could ever want. Charon (Charon_0138): {#Emph}Nnnnhhh... CharonGrantsHiddenAspect01 Charon (Charon_0129): {#Emph}Shaaaauugghh... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3501): Lord Charon, are you giving this to me?

ChronosBossAboutCharon01 Chronos (Chronos_0552): I am quite flummoxed with that {#Emph}Boatman {#Prev}fellow just outside, who has the gall to scull his little boat right to my very doorstep! The Satyrs have more fear of {#Emph}him {#Prev}than {#Emph}you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1595): You ought fear him yourself. Lord Charon knows every stone in the Underworld... every drop in the five rivers. You say you can't be stopped? Neither can he. Chronos (Chronos_0553): ...That trinket-peddler, crudely hawking his ill-gotten wares to his very limited base of customers! And hoarding so much Gold I generously wrought. A noble ally that you have! ChronosBossAboutClockwork01 Chronos (Chronos_0550): Have you once marveled at the ever-turning gears in Tartarus? My little contribution to the Underworld's design; a steady means of moving things along. I call it {#Emph}clockwork. {#Prev}A cycle without end! Akin to the turning of the seasons. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1594): I'm not here for a tour. That {#Emph}clockwork {#Prev}could have only come from {#Emph}you. {#Prev}An eyesore, going nowhere, groaning all along. Chronos (Chronos_0551): Going {#Emph}nowhere? {#Prev}One with capacity for magick ought espouse a deeper understanding of this world! We are always going {#Emph}somewhere; {#Prev}the {#Emph}future{#Prev}, my girl! Into the {#Emph}future. ChronosBossAboutEris01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1593): I thought all the chthonic gods opposed you openly. But you persuaded {#Emph}Eris{#Prev}, of all creatures, to your side! A laughable alliance, though not bad for sowing more destruction and dissent. Chronos (Chronos_0549): I am owed credit for a great many things, my girl; but not for any such alliances with Strife! What use have I for Nyx's youngest whelp? Although perhaps she is no fool, if she has rallied to my banners as you say. ChronosBossAboutFamily01 Chronos (Chronos_1386): {#Emph}You{#Prev}, with all that vengeance on your mind, claiming to care nothing for the family which I denied you! {#Emph}Good{#Prev}, because you {#Emph}certainly {#Prev}did not miss much! They cared nothing for {#Emph}our family{#Prev}, either! Left me to {#Emph}rot! {#Prev}You are {#Emph}no different! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5043): You alone care deeply for our family, is that it? Come on. They left you to rot because you gave them every reason to hate you. Chronos (Chronos_1401): {#Emph}Pah! {#Prev}They sought power I refused to share. They had not worked for it! Perhaps if they asked nicely, none of this would have elapsed. But there is no undoing past mistakes. ChronosBossAboutFamily02 Chronos (Chronos_1436): You were never meant to be involved in this, Granddaughter! You must have been a mere babe when first I arrived here, alas too late to meet. Yet even now you are too young to understand. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5083): I would have been imprisoned with the rest. Though enlighten me... what it is that I'm still too young to understand? Chronos (Chronos_1437): You are too young to understand the disappointment and dejection that only family can provide. But the more of us you meet... the more of us you know... the sooner you shall learn. ChronosBossAboutFamily03 Chronos (Chronos_1438): I must say, I am quite unaccustomed to so many frequent visits from my kin! Perhaps if Hades and the others deigned to call as often, our relationships would not have been as strained. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5084): Oh this is not that sort of call. Though I didn't realize you were merely lonesome! Are your Satyr worshipers not stimulating enough as House guests? Chronos (Chronos_1439): They are worshipers, not kin! You were unfortunately caught in the midst of a dispute, and do not know the difference between having family around or not. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5085): Because of {#Emph}you! {#Prev}And this {#Emph}dispute {#Prev}of yours! And now you'll be destroyed for what you've done. Was it worth it? Chronos (Chronos_1440): Well, when you put it {#Emph}that {#Prev}way, {#Emph}no! {#Prev}Had I not made any mistakes, we would not be here {#Emph}now{#Prev}, would we? Certainly not as such vicious foes! Yet here we are, each in turn facing the consequences of the past. ChronosBossAboutFamily04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5086): You spoke before about the consequences of the past... of your own mistakes. Yet {#Emph}this {#Prev}is how you choose to rectify them? Your entire family is against you...! Chronos (Chronos_1441): As ever! The only difference now is there are even {#Emph}more {#Prev}of you, all falling in line. You would excise me from my own family? Then, very well! But {#Emph}this {#Prev}is the result! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5087): You don't even want to rule the Underworld or the surface, do you? You just want to get back at your children. How petty... and pathetic. Chronos (Chronos_1442): Each passing generation, even quicker to judge than the last! Was I the {#Emph}perfect father? {#Prev}No. Otherwise my children would have been perfect as well! And now even you are caught in this spiral! ChronosBossAboutFamily05 Chronos (Chronos_1443): {#Emph}I {#Prev}know why you continue to return! You seek {#Emph}more {#Prev}than these conversations of ours, but also that Mirror in those squalid chambers down the hall... the single artifact I could not budge! But it is {#Emph}useless {#Prev}without Night herself! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5206): I'm not here for this House's former furnishings. You should know, you have at least one relative who would be most distraught if you're destroyed. You alone can prevent that... if you would end all this. Chronos (Chronos_1458_B): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, I intend to! But we are far past the point of preventing the distress of this {#Emph}supposed {#Prev}relative to whom you refer! What was already done is done, and there is no turning back, regrets be damned: that is the very {#Emph}nature {#Prev}of Time. ChronosBossAboutFates01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1507): So what have you done with the Three Fates? You would incur the wrath of all chthonic gods, as though the wrath of all Olympus weren't enough... Chronos (Chronos_0506): Oh, I banished them! Where, I cannot say, or {#Emph}when. {#Prev}In any event, they trouble us no longer, with their manipulative weavings. No, what happens now... is entirely up to {#Emph}us. ChronosBossAboutFuture01 Chronos (Chronos_0497): The future is unwoven; uncertain. Not even the Fates themselves can anticipate how all of this shall end, or {#Emph}when. {#Prev}Yet you press on. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1502): I thought you were all about the inevitable. Whether the outcome of all this has been foretold or not, I'll see it through. Call it a morbid curiosity. Chronos (Chronos_0498): I call it reckless abandon, nothing more. You fail to consider the many possibilities in which you prove unable to enjoy the fruits of your labors... ChronosBossAboutGameplayTimer01 Chronos (Chronos_0554): So you are keeping careful track of Time; such things of course are plain for me to see. But your reasons for it, I hardly can surmise. To gauge, perhaps, how quickly you shall fall? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1596): Either me or you. So how much time shall we require here tonight? In all your wisdom, surely you must know. Chronos (Chronos_0555): Oh, this shall take but a {#Emph}trifle{#Prev}, I expect! Not yet a formal measurement, although perhaps that too shall change... ChronosBossAboutGameplayTimer02 Chronos (Chronos_0556): You ceased to track the measurement of just how quickly we may settle our disputes. Was it too much for you? To be so self-aware of your inexorable flight toward uncertainty? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1597): I am an immortal goddess of the Underworld. Time means nothing to me. I can do this forever. Chronos (Chronos_0557): Is that so? {#Emph}Forever {#Prev}is a very long while. We shall have to make this slow and excruciating, to sate your gluttonous desire for more... ChronosBossAboutGoldenAge01 Chronos (Chronos_0175): You are too young to know what it was like. Before the gods re-shaped the world to be like this. Mortals did not have to die in agony, and waste away within this {#Emph}pit. {#Prev}A simpler age, and all the better for it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1318): All the better, because you controlled every detail, is that it? You couldn't stand that others had a different outlook than your own. You went to war with your own children! After eating them whole, so they say. Chronos (Chronos_0176): They say a lot of things! {#Emph}They {#Prev}went to war with {#Emph}me. {#Prev}My offspring and my other charges did not always take to discipline; I had too many to look after to take cheek from any one. And {#Emph}you{#Prev}, my girl, are not entitled to anything more. ChronosBossAboutGoldenAge02 Chronos (Chronos_0501): You have by now seen something of this world. Consider what the gods have wrought: war, famine, betrayal! During my Golden Age, there were no such concerns. It was a tranquil time... until the gods decided to wrest control forcibly! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1504): Perhaps your rule was not as perfect as you claim. Perhaps you were a stifling presence on your children and their generation, leaving them with little choice but to rid themselves of you. Chronos (Chronos_0502): Well, they {#Emph}failed! {#Prev}And thus presents itself this golden opportunity to teach my {#Emph}children and their generation {#Prev}a most-valuable lesson about having to live with the consequences of their actions! ChronosBossAboutHades01 Chronos (Chronos_0173): You saw your father out there, I presume? He required a special arrangement. For aeons, he incarcerated countless souls within this place; not to mention {#Emph}me. {#Prev}Seemed only fitting he should have to waste away accordingly. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1317): You couch it in morality, when vengeance is reason enough. Though since you've reasoned it all out, by what right did you take the other members of my family? And Nyx and all the rest? Chronos (Chronos_0174): Why, because they opposed me. Except you have this rather vexing knack for resisting some of my time-honored techniques... a recessive family trait, perhaps. Although, your brother... he was not so fortunate. You, too, shall break, however... soon enough. ChronosBossAboutHades02 Chronos (Chronos_0495): Hades used some of his failing strength to spur you on! Even whilst bound in chains no god can break, your father yet proves to be a pest. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1501): You've tortured and humiliated him. All this talk of how you plan to bring about a bygone age, yet petty vengeance seems to be your chief concern. Chronos (Chronos_0496): The thing is, my girl, I can have {#Emph}both. {#Prev}You should have seen the cruel, inventive ways your father tortured mortal souls! Thus I dispense a form of justice to {#Emph}him{#Prev}, and to {#Emph}you. ChronosBossAboutHecateKidnapped01 Chronos (Chronos_0976): What did you call that old witch whom you seem to care about so much? Your {#Emph}headmistress? {#Prev}Tell me now exactly who she is, if you yet value her well-being in the least. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3877): ...She was my mother's handmaiden, nothing more. When you attacked my father's House, she took me away. When I came of age, I vowed to stop you; despite her efforts to dissuade me. Let her go. Chronos (Chronos_0977): ...At first I thought perhaps that you were a child of Zeus rather than Hades, but you are a terrible liar, Granddaughter. Now you shall suffer for your actions... or the {#Emph}handmaiden {#Prev}shall do so in your stead. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3878): {#Emph}Don't you touch her! ChronosBossAboutHecateKidnapped02 Chronos (Chronos_0978): That headmistress of yours has proven not to be informative at all thus far. I can be even more persuasive if necessary, of course. But first, to the matter at hand... ChronosBossAboutHistory01 Chronos (Chronos_0214): The course of history is mine to shape. Yet you continue vexing me, as though you wish to do so in my stead. Fine, what shall it be? Shall I just go ahead and cede my rightful throne? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1403): You don't set the course of history... you're Time. You're just the paving stones we cross along our way. More than getting back at the gods, you're getting back at the Fates, who know your rightful place in all of this. Chronos (Chronos_0215): I do, in fact, take issue with the Fates. Though they ought to be none of {#Emph}your {#Prev}concern, or anyone's. Imagine being free to make your own decisions now, only to long for the weight of their yoke upon your back! How {#Emph}pathetic. ChronosBossAboutHouse01 Chronos (Chronos_0171): You should have seen the hideous appearance of this place when I arrived! Or, I suppose you {#Emph}did{#Prev}, but were too little to recall. I daresay now it is a little more presentable. Yet you barge in, tracking blood and filth across the floor. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1316): My apologies to your custodial staff. Next time, I'll have to try to be a little more presentable when I arrive. Chronos (Chronos_0172): You seethe with bitter irony; but look at yourself! Come to confront me whilst more dead than alive. Well, the sooner I cast you out, the sooner my {#Emph}custodial staff {#Prev}can start to tidy up. ChronosBossAboutKeepsake01 Chronos (Chronos_1384): Now what is that you have, which gleams of gold? Why, that is {#Emph}mine! {#Prev}One of my finest Time Pieces...! You {#Emph}thief! {#Prev}And now you brazenly come here with it? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5027): Oh I'm no {#Emph}thief{#Prev}. This was a {#Emph}gift! {#Prev}But let's not bother to get into that. I don't have all night. Neither do you. Chronos (Chronos_1385): How astonishingly presumptuous. I have all the time in the world! But {#Emph}you{#Prev}, my girl, are {#Emph}quickly running out. ChronosBossAboutMelinoe01 Chronos (Chronos_0547): You are {#Emph}quite {#Prev}dangerous, I must admit. You have repeatedly breached into Tartarus, and this House; impossibilities, if not for your tainted bloodline! And you are able to withstand my conjuring. Might I again politely ask you {#Emph}how? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1592): You call that {#Emph}politely? {#Prev}You didn't even say the magick word. But since you really want to know... I'm from the future. You'll later come to realize the error of your ways, and teach me to stop you before you can cause more harm. Chronos (Chronos_0548): {#Emph}Ha ha ha! {#Prev}Oh, quite an imaginative tale. A comedy, for the utterly outrageous premise beggars belief! My girl, one cannot travel {#Emph}back {#Prev}in Time! Time marches ever forward; and I alone determine at which rate. ChronosBossAboutNoBoons01 Chronos (Chronos_1329): I am accustomed to the {#Emph}stink {#Prev}of the Olympians and their {#Emph}supposed {#Prev}blessings on your person, so this occasion is a most-welcome reprieve. None of {#Emph}their {#Prev}power, merely {#Emph}yours! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4562): My power ought to be enough, I think. Though the more you underestimate me the better, I suppose. Shall we? Chronos (Chronos_1330): Shall we {#Emph}what? {#Prev}Shall my Satyr worshipers and I dispose of our most-irritating interlopers {#Emph}again {#Prev}and {#Emph}again? {#Prev}Then {#Emph}yes{#Prev}, most certainly. ChronosBossAboutNyx01 Chronos (Chronos_0903): When first I came here to this House, your father and his servants, they did not put up much of a fight. Not even Nyx herself! Although in fairness, I did take them by surprise. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3326): What did you think you would accomplish, taking Night Incarnate as your captive, among all the rest? Her influence is not so easily undone. Chronos (Chronos_0904): I grant you that it has been rather dark in spite of Nyx's temporary leave. Nevertheless, I do prefer having fewer disagreeable sorts about. Not even one, in fact. ChronosBossAboutOrigin01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1509): Get up, wretch. Titan. {#Emph}Lord Master Chronos. {#Prev}Whatever they call you now. It's {#Emph}time{#Prev}, as you might say. Chronos (Chronos_0508): It is, indeed. And they have called me many things; many names, in aeons past. There are those who think me nothing more than the offspring of Heaven and Earth, of all the {#Emph}nerve. {#Prev}And you are even less cordial than {#Emph}they. ChronosBossAboutPausing01 Chronos (Chronos_0601): You have considerable power over Time, that you can turn some of my innate power against {#Emph}me! {#Prev}Perhaps your knack for this is merely a recessive family trait. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1950): Don't insult me, and don't fool yourself. When you took my family, you created in me a lifelong desire to see you destroyed. So I simply prepared. Chronos (Chronos_0602): A lifelong desire. Your {#Emph}life{#Prev}, girl, is but a blink of an eye to {#Emph}me! {#Prev}No one achieves abilities as yours through force of will alone. Though you are no mere {#Emph}god{#Prev}; you are a {#Emph}witch. ChronosBossAboutPolyphemus01 Chronos (Chronos_0605): My work is made much easier for all the enemies Olympus has accrued. From the Satyrs, to the Harpies, to the Cyclops Polyphemus and much more! It is not I alone who seeks the downfall of the gods. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1952): So you gathered up the dregs lusting for power or revenge! Such company you keep. I know that Polyphemus well enough by now... his loyalty can almost certainly be bought. Chronos (Chronos_0606): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, that it {#Emph}can. Loyalty {#Prev}is either earned or bought, and it makes very little difference either way. Polyphemus has his limitations, to be sure. But he is not a {#Emph}lost cause. ChronosBossAboutPolyphemus02 Chronos (Chronos_0711): Why do you ceaselessly attack my humble shepherd Polyphemus, who seeks merely to attend his flock in peace? At least you have given him a bit of reprieve by being {#Emph}here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2552): Your humble shepherd doesn't let me leave the city of Ephyra willingly, so I've been showing myself out. You should know, he often is asleep on the job... Chronos (Chronos_0712): Punishable behavior, if true! Of course, I pay that Cyclops next to nothing. And you always get what you pay for, girl... ChronosBossAboutPrometheus01 Chronos (Chronos_0703): You somehow reached the mountain of the gods. Clashed with Prometheus himself, he claims! Whichever path you choose... we Titans shall be there. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2548): Good. Then I have every opportunity to slay you all. So, you liberated the prisoner of Olympus in exchange for his servitude? I heard Prometheus once had integrity. Chronos (Chronos_0704): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}but he has it still! Which is the reason he has joined my cause. Besides... who better to lead my strike forces against Olympus than one who was so unjustly wronged by the gods? For I cannot do {#Emph}everything {#Prev}myself! ChronosBossAboutPrometheus02 Chronos (Chronos_0705): The Titan of Foresight confessed that you were able to withstand his fury. To which I said, {#Emph}Prometheus, my good fellow! If you knew this would transpire, why did you not forewarn me? And why did you not prevent it? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2549): Perhaps you overestimate the Titan of Foresight's power to clearly see into the future. Along with his strength. Chronos (Chronos_0706): He claims to keep the details of the future to himself... so as not to alter the desired outcome. How convenient! It does not take a genius such as he to know I shall eventually prevail! ChronosBossAboutRandomBounties1 Chronos (Chronos_1237): The ill effects of Chaos, here... such senselessness! So then have you persuaded the Primordial Originator into thinking that I somehow got the best of our exchange? Nyx and the Three Fates, for nothing at all! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3807): Chaos indicated some displeasure, yes. But the effects you sense are no more to my benefit than yours. We're talking about a perfectly impartial being. Chronos (Chronos_1238): {#Emph}Impartial{#Prev}, you say? A thinking being is incapable of that! The moment Chaos first conceived of anything, they renounced impartiality forever! And certainly they are not on {#Emph}my {#Prev}side. ChronosBossAboutSatyrs01 Chronos (Chronos_0493): My legions know you well by now; the trouble you have caused. Yet only my most ardent followers may spill their blood within my halls. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1500): These Satyr worshipers of yours must be very honored to be the first to die here. Not the wisest creatures, though, are they? Chronos (Chronos_0494): The wise do not follow; the wise {#Emph}lead. {#Prev}These Satyrs lack a mortal fear of death, believing that their sacrifice shall bring me strength and that they shall live on. Let us {#Emph}grant {#Prev}their desire. ChronosBossAboutScylla01 Chronos (Chronos_0707): My understanding is that you attended quite the musical performance in the pit of Oceanus! To have navigated all of the infernal pipework just for that. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2550): Oh, it's no trouble at all. Such a vibrant interest there in the performing arts! You should visit more often. Chronos (Chronos_0708): I truly ought, and wrest control over the blasted place as my rightful domain! For now, I merely sponsor some of the delightful programming you enjoy each night! ChronosBossAboutScylla02 Chronos (Chronos_0709): Whilst I have yet to attend one myself, it is my understanding that performances by Scylla and her Siren cohort oft leave much to be desired. Perhaps I ought rescind my patronage... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2551): I do worry they're a bit of a sunk cost. I see the same handful of devoted listeners in their audience night after night, but no real signs of growth. Chronos (Chronos_0710): Well my girl, a small devoted audience is naught at which to scoff! I myself started with but a few Satyr devotees, and look how far I have come! ChronosBossAboutShrine01 Chronos (Chronos_0905): An evening most-unusual this has turned out to be! My forces fought so fiercely against you, yet somehow proved unable to succeed... I shall have to have a word with them. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3327): They still shall fear me more than you. Through all of this adversity that you put up, I grow in strength. And when you too lie in ruin, Night's will shall finally be done. Chronos (Chronos_0906): Spoken like a mindless follower. My girl, you are not entirely dissimilar from some of those who regularly fail to do my bidding... and I shall treat you very much the same. ChronosBossAboutStyx01 Chronos (Chronos_0609): Did you enjoy your swim? The River Styx once flowed through here like blood. Foul traces of it yet remain in the Fields above, but now in my vicinity, it is all grains of gold. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2021): You would transform the River Styx itself to suit your fancy? Or perhaps I heard you incorrectly. I may still have too many of your grains of gold stuck in my ears. Chronos (Chronos_0610): No wonder you have had such difficulty listening to me. Nevertheless, I trust the point I am about to make shall come through loud and clear. ChronosBossAboutSuit01 Chronos (Chronos_0901): Now {#Emph}what {#Prev}is that preposterous contraption which you wear? Alas not even {#Emph}I {#Prev}am able to keep up with you young upstarts and your perplexing fashion trends. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3325): Oh this is the Black Coat. I haven't put it on for fashion's sake, although you're right in that you won't be able to keep up. Chronos (Chronos_0902): Such confidence in your abilities, or in the Fates' designs. But you must know, newfangled armaments such as that cannot compare with the classics. ChronosBossAboutThanatosAspect01 Chronos (Chronos_0607): I recognize that blade you bear: The scythe of Death himself! Alas that he was momentarily without it when I caught him in my snare, along with this House's other former residents. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1953): You may have taken Death, yet death is here for you. It would be fitting if you met your end by Zorephet. Chronos (Chronos_0608): It would be most unlikely, I should think. Then let us match now, scythe to scythe! Your Zorephet against my Hrodreptus. And we shall imminently see who reaps, and who sows. ChronosBossAboutThessaly01 Chronos (Chronos_0603): You have been busy on the surface, have you not? Paid witness to indomitable fleets that sail toward inevitable victory, and the destruction of the mountain of the gods. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1951): The only fleet I saw up there was a ramshackle mess whose crew could barely stand, much less put up a fight. No wonder you have failed to take Olympus yet. Chronos (Chronos_0604): My fleets may not be to your standards, girl; but they have one important characteristic, which the gods all sorely lack: They are loyal to {#Emph}me {#Prev}to the end. Whichever end I {#Emph}deem! ChronosBossAboutTime01 Chronos (Chronos_0499): A moment passes... then another, and another. I have names for them in every measure, you know? The very brief ones. The ones that linger... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1503): If you're quite finished, I'll try not to take up more than a few of the very brief ones you mentioned. Chronos (Chronos_0500): I understand the need to cut {#Emph}Time {#Prev}down to smaller bits, I do. Hours, cut down to minutes. Minutes, cut down to seconds. Because the whole of it, my girl... is {#Emph}too much to fathom. ChronosBossAboutTitans01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1508): You're so indignant of my father's generation. What came of yours? I don't see many of your contemporaries rallied to your cause, or any other for that matter. Chronos (Chronos_0507): Well, you see, most of the other Titans met their end, just as did I. The doing of your father and his {#Emph}generation! {#Prev}Perhaps when all of this is settled, I shall see to bringing my contemporaries back! A few of them. ChronosBossAboutTyphon01 Chronos (Chronos_0893): I understand your latest vainglorious attempt to re-claim Olympus for the gods did not pan out. Perhaps in the moment you witnessed the Father of All Monsters in all his terrifying stature, you at last understood your folly. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3320): You awakened that monstrosity and call {#Emph}me {#Prev}vainglorious? Typhon is not going to take orders from you or {#Emph}anyone! {#Prev}You'll have nothing left to rule over if he has his way! Chronos (Chronos_0894): No, you {#Emph}gods {#Prev}shall have nothing left to rule over if he has his way. And I, {#Emph}mine! {#Prev}Typhon may not be the negotiating type; but we need no agreement to pursue the same result. ChronosBossAboutTyphon01_B Chronos (Chronos_0997): I understand your latest vainglorious attempt to re-claim Olympus met with some success! Perhaps in the moment you witnessed the Father of All Monsters in all his terrifying stature, some primordial instinct took hold. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3320): You awakened that monstrosity and call {#Emph}me {#Prev}vainglorious? Typhon is not going to take orders from you or {#Emph}anyone! {#Prev}You'll have nothing left to rule over if he has his way! Chronos (Chronos_0894): No, you {#Emph}gods {#Prev}shall have nothing left to rule over if he has his way. And I, {#Emph}mine! {#Prev}Typhon may not be the negotiating type; but we need no agreement to pursue the same result. ChronosBossAboutTyphon02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3321): Tell me something, before I turn you back to dust again. If Typhon destroys Mount Olympus as you so desire, where do you expect he'll go from there? Back to sleep? Chronos (Chronos_0895): Oh, that is none of my concern. Ours is a wide world, and {#Emph}deep! {#Prev}Typhon shall have free rein to go where he pleases. Perhaps he shall rule over the seas in Poseidon's stead! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3322): Liar. You plan to double-cross him. Send him roaring back to the abyss after your use for him is ended. Not even {#Emph}you {#Prev}are fool enough to disregard him as a threat. Chronos (Chronos_0896): The future shall be well in hand, of that I can assure you, Granddaughter. Best focus on the present, and the many hardships we endure. ChronosBossAboutTyphon03 Chronos (Chronos_0897): My, to have toppled Typhon from that mountaintop... certainly it was not something that you could have done alone, yet still! How {#Emph}proud {#Prev}you must have felt. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3323): I felt a tinge of satisfaction, yes. But you do know what's an even greater feeling than thwarting the Father of All Monsters, don't you? Chronos (Chronos_0898): If you insinuate that besting me in battle is a thrill akin to overcoming the Great Despoiler of Olympus, then you flatter me, my girl. Go on and try... even as Typhon stirs. ChronosBossAboutTyphon04 Chronos (Chronos_0899): {#Emph}Hmhmhm{#Prev}, angry now as ever! Do you wish to know exactly how I reawakened Typhon, my girl? Or how I managed it without you gods detecting what I had in store? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3324): Please indulge me, Grandfather. For I do so enjoy your tales. Chronos (Chronos_0900): You would never believe it if you knew. For you are narrow-minded, you and all the gods! I have {#Emph}outsmarted {#Prev}you... and I shall overpower you as well. ChronosBossAboutTyphonDeath01 Chronos (Chronos_0985): What have you done... to the Father of All Monsters, what have you {#Emph}done? {#Prev}For he is... nowhere to be found...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3879): Such details are none of your concern, wretch. Know only that you're next. May your final moments be in pain. Chronos (Chronos_0986): You speak to me of pain... I can lock you with it for eternity. You shall come to understand it even better than I! ChronosBossAboutWeapons01 Chronos (Chronos_0503): What {#Emph}are {#Prev}those {#Emph}garish {#Prev}instruments with which you try to cause such harm? Like as not some {#Emph}gadgets {#Prev}that the Fates themselves had vainly hoped would put an end to me! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1505): Whether they {#Emph}vainly {#Prev}hoped is yet to be determined. These may not be the arms the gods once used to bring you down but they'll get the job done just the same. You watch. Chronos (Chronos_0504): Oh we shall do more than {#Emph}watch{#Prev}, Hrodreptus and I. This scythe of mine is not merely for cutting short the Mourning Fields wheat, whilst putting back the Hound of Hell... ChronosBossAboutWretches01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1506): Pardon my lateness, I had some wretches to contend with. I thought you let everyone go, regardless of past transgressions. Chronos (Chronos_0505): I let just about everyone go, yes. You may be surprised, however, to learn that some of those so-called {#Emph}wretches {#Prev}do not care for Hades very much. They were quite eager to serve me instead, when nicely asked. With you, I shall not even bother. ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat01 Chronos (Chronos_0998): {#Emph}Grngh... {#Prev}monstrous... grandchild... you... ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat02 Chronos (Chronos_0999): {#Emph}Augh... {#Prev}but this... is impossible... ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat03 Chronos (Chronos_1000): {#Emph}Nrrgh... {#Prev}how... could this... transpire...? ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat04 Chronos (Chronos_1001): {#Emph}Rngh... {#Prev}you... accursed... Fates...! ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat05 Chronos (Chronos_1002): {#Emph}Argh... {#Prev}I struck... not even {#Emph}once...? ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat06 Chronos (Chronos_1003): {#Emph}Hngh... {#Prev}you... eluded me... at each and every turn... ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat07 Chronos (Chronos_1004): {#Emph}Gah... {#Prev}you were... too swift... even for Time...? ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat08 Chronos (Chronos_1005): {#Emph}Ngh... {#Prev}such haste... I have not seen such haste since... ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat09 Chronos (Chronos_1510): {#Emph}Augh... {#Prev}not even... my full strength... sufficed... ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat10 Chronos (Chronos_1511): {#Emph}Argh... {#Prev}even here... at the very end... of Time? Was this... inevitable, after all...? ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat11 Chronos (Chronos_1512): {#Emph}Gah...! {#Prev}I was evaded... {#Emph}constantly... {#Prev}as though you always were... a step ahead... ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat12 Chronos (Chronos_1516): {#Emph}Argh...! {#Prev}I was too slow... but at least I fade, knowing... Time only flies... when you are having {#Emph}fun! ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat13 Chronos (Chronos_1513): {#Emph}Ungh...! {#Prev}You think... you reached the End of Time... yet fail to see... that it is also... the beginning...! ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat14 Chronos (Chronos_1514): {#Emph}Nraugh...! {#Prev}How could you... be so swift...? Or am I... now too slow...? ChronosBossAltFightMiscDefeat15 Chronos (Chronos_1515): {#Emph}Augh...! {#Prev}Such impossible haste... with which you struck...! Faster than Time...! ChronosBossFirstMeeting Chronos (Chronos_0164): Let yourself in, I see. Through the gutter? This family never had any class! Though I am working on alleviating that within this House, if you would pardon all the {#Emph}dust. {#Prev}We have been {#Emph}renovating {#Prev}around here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1311): Get up. You get up off that stolen throne! You know who I am, and you know why I'm here. Chronos (Chronos_0165): A family with no class, and no civility, either. Have I not made clear to you that your attempt to do me harm shall be in vain? I am a deathless {#Emph}Titan. {#Prev}You merely are a poor, misguided {#Emph}girl. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1312): {#Emph}Hear me, you enemy of Night and Darkness, now; \n {#Emph}For your transgressions, you shall imminently die; \n {#Emph}Under chthonic doctrine, this I vow! \n {#Emph}For there is no escape from Fate beneath the sky. Chronos (Chronos_0166): {#Emph}Manners! {#Prev}Cursing is forbidden in this House. By that token, {#Emph}fighting {#Prev}is forbidden as well. But for you, my girl? We shall have to make an exception. {#Emph}Time {#Prev}for you to {#Emph}go. Chronos (Chronos_0456): Behold! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1313): {#Emph}Death to Chronos! ChronosBossFirstMeeting_B Chronos (Chronos_0204): Pray, who might you be, my girl? It is not often that I entertain of late. Perhaps after this House becomes a little more presentable... though for the moment, you must pardon all the dust. We have been {#Emph}renovating {#Prev}around here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1311): Get up. You get up off that stolen throne! You know who I am, and you know why I'm here. Chronos (Chronos_0205): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, what a surprise. My granddaughter! The one loose end I failed to tie up, now fully grown, almost. I have so many questions, if you please. How have you been? And how, exactly, did you find me here? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1312): {#Emph}Hear me, you enemy of Night and Darkness, now; \n {#Emph}For your transgressions, you shall imminently die; \n {#Emph}Under chthonic doctrine, this I vow! \n {#Emph}For there is no escape from Fate beneath the sky. Chronos (Chronos_0166): {#Emph}Manners! {#Prev}Cursing is forbidden in this House. By that token, fighting is forbidden as well. But for you, my girl? We shall have to make an exception. {#Emph}Time for you to go. Chronos (Chronos_0456): Behold! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1313): {#Emph}Death to Chronos! ChronosBossFirstMeeting_C Chronos (Chronos_0207): A guest, arrived so soon! It is not often that I entertain of late. Perhaps after this House becomes a little more presentable... though for the moment, you must pardon all the dust. We have been {#Emph}renovating {#Prev}around here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1311): Get up. You get up off that stolen throne! You know who I am, and you know why I'm here. Chronos (Chronos_0208): Come, now, Granddaughter. There is no need to rush! You have come all this way. And I have so many questions. How have you been? And how, exactly, did you find me here? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1312): {#Emph}Hear me, you enemy of Night and Darkness, now; \n {#Emph}For your transgressions, you shall imminently die; \n {#Emph}Under chthonic doctrine, this I vow! \n {#Emph}For there is no escape from Fate beneath the sky. Chronos (Chronos_0166): {#Emph}Manners! {#Prev}Cursing is forbidden in this House. By that token, fighting is forbidden as well. But for you, my girl? We shall have to make an exception. {#Emph}Time for you to go. Chronos (Chronos_0456): Behold! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1313): {#Emph}Death to Chronos! ChronosBossLostAgainstHim01 Chronos (Chronos_0167): You slipped through my fingers before, only to return and give to me another opportunity to add you to my collection? Did Athena truly get all the wisdom in our family? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1314): Your {#Emph}collection... {#Prev}you speak of your kin as objects to be put on display. The gods ought have put {#Emph}you {#Prev}on display after cutting you to pieces, instead of discarding you like common filth. Chronos (Chronos_0168): You know, I am still rather sore about all that. I truly thought my children would be different; that they would show their elders some respect. But they did not. And my tolerance... has its limits. ChronosBossMiscDefeat01 Chronos (Chronos_0227): {#Emph}Ungh...! {#Prev}This matters not... my plans are already... well underway... ChronosBossMiscDefeat02 Chronos (Chronos_0228): {#Emph}Ngh... {#Prev}I have... returned from worse... suffered much worse... than from the likes of you... ChronosBossMiscDefeat03 Chronos (Chronos_0229): {#Emph}Augh... {#Prev}you truly are a nuisance, to be sure... but you accomplish naught... ChronosBossMiscDefeat04 Chronos (Chronos_0230): {#Emph}Gah... {#Prev}to have been brought this low once more, by a mere {#Emph}god... ChronosBossMiscDefeat05 Chronos (Chronos_0231): {#Emph}Urgh... {#Prev}you are no granddaughter of mine... that you would deign to treat me thus...! ChronosBossMiscDefeat06 Chronos (Chronos_0232): {#Emph}Mmph... {#Prev}I always... hated... children such as you... ChronosBossMiscDefeat07 Chronos (Chronos_0233): {#Emph}Khh... {#Prev}I curse the day... your father... sired you... ChronosBossMiscDefeat08 Chronos (Chronos_0234): {#Emph}Rrngh...! {#Prev}How... are you able to resist...? ChronosBossMiscDefeat09 Chronos (Chronos_0235): {#Emph}Guh... {#Prev}goodbye again, only for now, my girl... ChronosBossMiscDefeat10 Chronos (Chronos_0236): {#Emph}Nrgh... {#Prev}you waste your precious time... Olympus {#Emph}burns... ChronosBossMiscDefeat11 Chronos (Chronos_0237): {#Emph}Rngh... {#Prev}you cannot stop me... merely... slow me down a bit... ChronosBossMiscDefeat12 Chronos (Chronos_0238): {#Emph}Argh...! {#Prev}How is it that I cannot vanquish such a {#Emph}brat...? ChronosBossMiscDefeat13 Chronos (Chronos_0239): {#Emph} {#Prev}My age, perhaps, is catching up with me... ChronosBossMiscDefeat14 Chronos (Chronos_0240): {#Emph}Hngh... {#Prev}once more, you bring me low... but not for long... ChronosBossMiscDefeat15 Chronos (Chronos_0241): {#Emph}Tsch... {#Prev}brought low once more... for what? Some grains of {#Emph}Sand? ChronosBossMiscDefeat16 Chronos (Chronos_0242): {#Emph}Naugh... {#Prev}this victory of yours... shall be short-lived... ChronosBossMiscDefeat17 Chronos (Chronos_0243): {#Emph}Nngh...! {#Prev}Once more... I am undone...! I shall be back... in the blink of an eye... ChronosBossMiscDefeat18 Chronos (Chronos_0244): {#Emph}Raugh... {#Prev}of all my vexing relatives... you are amongst the worst... ChronosBossMiscStart01 Chronos (Chronos_0177): Once more you have eluded my grasp in getting here, as though you wish to fall only to me. ChronosBossMiscStart02 Chronos (Chronos_0178): You shall find my patience limitless for all your foolish antics here, my girl. ChronosBossMiscStart03 Chronos (Chronos_0179): I spent aeons buried in the depths below; a few rude trespasses from you are hardly of concern. ChronosBossMiscStart04 Chronos (Chronos_0180): This little spat with you was clearly never going to resolve in a more-civil way... ChronosBossMiscStart05 Chronos (Chronos_0181): Long have I lorded on this throne; a bit of vigorous activity should do me well. ChronosBossMiscStart06 Chronos (Chronos_0182): To think that the combined might of my forces proved insufficient against a mere girl. ChronosBossMiscStart07 Chronos (Chronos_0183): You are methodical, I grant you that. But I shall have to take from you much more. ChronosBossMiscStart08 Chronos (Chronos_0184): You cannot be in two places at once. Whilst you vainly lash out, Olympus burns... ChronosBossMiscStart09 Chronos (Chronos_0185): Time can seem to pass in an instant, or last an eternity. On this occasion, let us make it quick. ChronosBossMiscStart10 Chronos (Chronos_0186): The Fates themselves could not prevent my rightful rule; what hope have you? ChronosBossOutro01 Chronos (Chronos_0217): {#Emph} {#Prev}I thought... {#Emph}none {#Prev}could resist the ravages of Time... but, {#Emph}you? How...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1404): You'll get no answers from me, and no mercy, either. Now {#Emph}die{#Prev}, already. And I'll collect the ichor from your veins. Or whatever flows through them. Chronos (Chronos_0218): {#Emph}Hah, hah, hah! {#Prev}What is death to the deathless? A mere nuisance! This House is {#Emph}mine. {#Prev}Once I am gone... you shall be cast away. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1405): I expect so. And you'll be re-made and back on the throne before I can return. But I {#Emph}shall {#Prev}return. And I'll slay you again, and again, and {#Emph}again{#Prev}, if I must. Chronos (Chronos_0219): Even if, in so doing, it meant that you would never see your dear old family again? Because the mercy I have shown to them thus far is something I may have to re-evaluate. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1406): {#Emph}Our {#Prev}family. And what do I care? I don't even know them. But I {#Emph}do {#Prev}know you ought be dead here in another moment; any last words? Chronos (Chronos_0892): ...For you, my girl...? A mere reminder... nothing more... ChronosBossOutroAfterHecateKidnapped01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5092): My mother's handmaiden... you give her back. Right now. Chronos (Chronos_1455): {#Emph}Urgh...! {#Prev}You care so much... for this {#Emph}witch-handmaiden {#Prev}of yours. Would that a single relative of mine... showed me even an iota of concern...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5093): What reason would they have to care? Look what you've done! You're trying to take {#Emph}everything {#Prev}from us! Our future! Chronos (Chronos_1456): We are {#Emph}family... {#Prev}we do not take, we {#Emph}share! {#Prev}Destroy me, then! If you possess such strength. And see what {#Emph}future {#Prev}you shall bring about... ChronosBossOutroPostTrueEnding01 Chronos (Chronos_1052): {#Emph}Nraugh... {#Prev}but I thought... none could possibly resist the ravages of Time... but, {#Emph}you? How...? Chronos (Chronos_1053): You, my vestige, shall unfortunately never know. Now forgive this old man his transgressions... ChronosBossOutroPreTrueEnding01 Chronos (Chronos_1275): {#Emph}...Gah. Hah, hah! {#Prev}Again you lay me low. And again you waste your {#Emph}time. {#Prev}I know what it is you seek... Melinoe (MelinoeField_5207): Of course you do. By now I think we've each made our desires rather clear. Chronos (Chronos_1529): Then go... and take a good look in that Mirror whilst you flail! And do hurry... for I shall never be gone... for long. ChronosBossOutroPreTrueEnding01_B Chronos (Chronos_1275): {#Emph}...Gah. Hah, hah! {#Prev}Again you lay me low. And again you waste your {#Emph}time. {#Prev}I know what it is you seek... Melinoe (MelinoeField_5207): Of course you do. By now I think we've each made our desires rather clear. Chronos (Chronos_1277): You truly think... the power which you used on Typhon can be turned on me? Then prove it! I would like to see you {#Emph}try! ChronosBossOutroUltimateProgress01 Chronos (Chronos_1402): {#Emph}Argh... {#Prev}some family {#Emph}you {#Prev}are! Go on and try to cast me out as they once did! See what good shall come of it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5044): I intend to. Though if you wished to be part of the family so much, perhaps you oughtn't have waged war with them. Chronos (Chronos_1403): With {#Emph}them{#Prev}, you say! Not {#Emph}us! {#Prev}You, too, are a reject, daughter of Hades! Always shall be, and always would have been! ChronosBossOutroUltimateProgress02 Chronos (Chronos_1404): {#Emph}Gah... {#Prev}you gods learn nothing from the past! Recklessly changed everything to suit your whim! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5045): You're the one who's learned nothing. Despite all the time you've had to think on it. Chronos (Chronos_1405): Oh on the contrary... I know change is inevitable, with Time... the only question is... which sort... ChronosBossOutroUltimateProgress03 Chronos (Chronos_1445): {#Emph}Augh...! {#Prev}My own family has done worse to me before... well, I am vastly stronger now! Stronger with each passing night...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5089): You're old and tired. You don't even know why you're fighting anymore. To prove something to your children? Chronos (Chronos_1446): They took {#Emph}everything {#Prev}from me! Everything and more. Now they seek for you to take the {#Emph}rest. {#Prev}Such a wretched family, this... ChronosBossOutroUltimateProgress04 Chronos (Chronos_1448): {#Emph}Gah...! {#Prev}Well, this was certainly a treat, Granddaughter. Again tomorrow night, perhaps...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5090): Perhaps. So tell me, Titan... is {#Emph}this {#Prev}what having family about is like? Bitter feuds and snide remarks? Chronos (Chronos_1449): Oh {#Emph}yes! {#Prev}This is the whole of it! I may have denied it to you... but I was doing you a {#Emph}favor! {#Prev}You shall see... ChronosBossOutroUltimateProgress05 Chronos (Chronos_1452): {#Emph}Nrgh...! {#Prev}You truly think... you {#Emph}gods... {#Prev}are better fit to rule this world than I...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5091): We both know that is {#Emph}not {#Prev}what this is about, Titan. And all that plagues this world is not getting any better while we perpetuate it. Chronos (Chronos_1453): If not this world, my girl... then what {#Emph}is {#Prev}this about... do you suppose...? ChronosBossPostTrueEnding01 Chronos (Chronos_1049): Insolent girl. I do not know how you last managed to escape from me but you have gravely erred in setting foot again within these halls, thus giving {#Emph}me {#Prev}a second chance. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4135): This is not your second chance, Titan, but your last. You are an aberration and should not even exist, not here like this. Chronos (Chronos_1050): If I may interrupt? {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, greetings! In case the resemblance is insufficient, I am {#Emph}you! {#Prev}Yet I am also {#Emph}me. {#Prev}I know this must be difficult to accept but my granddaughter is quite correct... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4136): Grandfather, let me handle this. Knowing how {#Emph}you {#Prev}used to be, he won't be listening to reason here. Chronos (Chronos_1051): What is this foolishness, this... {#Emph}mockery?! {#Prev}You would confound me with these cheap illusions, whilst you deign to lecture {#Emph}me {#Prev}about what should exist or not? {#Emph}Begone! ChronosBossPostTrueEnding02 Chronos (Chronos_1271): You have seen that I do not stay gone. Fight me to your heart's content! No matter the outcome it is {#Emph}you {#Prev}who ends up banished from this place. Or are you here merely to rummage through your family's old, unneeded things? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3871): I have no need of anything of theirs. Only your head. Chronos (Chronos_1272): That you cannot have, my girl, for I shall be requiring it to rule the realms with wisdom such as my unruly children never had. And you, apparently, have even less. ChronosBossPreTrueEndingFinalPhase01 Chronos (Chronos_1485): {#Emph} {#Prev}...You wish to bring about the end of Time...? Well then, {#Emph}observe... {#Prev}for I shall give you... but a {#Emph}glimpse...! ChronosBossR2Outro01 Chronos (Chronos_0987): ...I have withstood the gods... even the Fates! Yet you would deign to bring me low. How {#Emph}dare {#Prev}you. How {#Emph}dare {#Prev}you? ChronosBossWonAgainstHim01 Chronos (Chronos_0169): Your eyes do not deceive; I am as hale and hearty as can be! That sinking sense you must have felt after our previous exchange? The fear of the utter senselessness of your entire enterprise? You now know it to be true. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1315): I was never going to destroy you in a single clash. You more than anybody ought to know results of any worth take time. Chronos (Chronos_0170): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, so then you wish to make a habit of such unceremonious appearances as {#Emph}this! {#Prev}As though they might amount to something, in the end. Fine. For my part, I occasionally need to stretch my limbs. ChronosFirstMeeting Chronos (Chronos_0142): Pray, who might you be, my girl? And what compelled you to wander in and out of Erebus? Melinoe (Melinoe_0093): I'm not your {#Emph}girl{#Prev}, old man. My name and business are not your concern. Chronos (Chronos_0143): So it seems. You appear to be quite pressed for time. Forgive this {#Emph}old man {#Prev}his transgressions... Melinoe (Melinoe_1947): {#Emph} ChronosGreeting.VoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_0116): Is that...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0113): He's there... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0114): He's back... Melinoe (Melinoe_0094): You! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0115): The Titan... Melinoe (Melinoe_0162): Chronos...! Melinoe (Melinoe_0165): Chronos... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3247): Just ignore him... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3248): Ignore him... Chronos (Chronos_0008): Greetings, little one. Chronos (Chronos_0024): How fare you, little one? Chronos (Chronos_0025): You. Chronos (Chronos_0027): There you are. Chronos (Chronos_0028): Just in time. Chronos (Chronos_0029): Greetings. Chronos (Chronos_0033): Returned, have you? Chronos (Chronos_0783): Right on Time. Chronos (Chronos_0784): Headed down? Chronos (Chronos_0785): Conspicuous. Chronos (Chronos_0790): Out of the woods? Chronos (Chronos_0791): What a coincidence. Chronos (Chronos_0007): A word, if you please? Chronos (Chronos_0009): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, there you are. Chronos (Chronos_0907): Not quite as roomy here... Chronos (Chronos_0782): Again? Chronos (Chronos_0786): Scheming girl. Chronos (Chronos_0787): Do keep this up. Chronos (Chronos_0788): How irritating. Chronos (Chronos_0789): {#Emph} Chronos (Chronos_0792): Wearing protective silk... Chronos (Chronos_0793): What a fine dress you have! Chronos (Chronos_0794): {#Emph}Ooh {#Prev}I like your dress. Chronos (Chronos_0795): A change of attire? Chronos (Chronos_0796): Not in your usual attire. Chronos (Chronos_0797): Enchanted silk again. Chronos (Chronos_0026): Granddaughter. ChronosMeeting02 Chronos (Chronos_0144): You have returned. Or lost your way, perhaps, in those interminable passageways beyond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0244): I know where I'm going. Whom do I address? And what are you doing here yourself, in such a place? Chronos (Chronos_0145): {#Emph}My name and business are not your concern{#Prev}, is that not what you said? {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, the impertinence of the youth of this age... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0245): Wait... ChronosMeeting03 Chronos (Chronos_0031): You, my girl, are meddling in matters you do not understand. Your father made certain choices; he was bound by them, but you are not. You need not follow in his ruinous path. Melinoe (Melinoe_0163): {#Emph}Ruinous?! You {#Prev}brought ruin to the Underworld and the surface! I'll never accept what you've done. Now, enough talk! Chronos (Chronos_0032): How {#Emph}very {#Prev}spirited! You truly think you can stop Time. Well, then... I would like to see you try. Melinoe (Melinoe_0164): Then watch this! Intercom (Intercom_0023): {#Emph} Melinoe (Melinoe_0322): {#Emph}Grr! ChronosMeeting04 Chronos (Chronos_0034): Which rock did you crawl out from under, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}My forces, they are terribly confused! They have no idea where you live! So I thought I would {#Emph}attempt {#Prev}asking you nicely here. Melinoe (Melinoe_0166): I live in your nightmares, Titan. I thrive on them! I'll see you dead, and then destroyed. However long it takes. Chronos (Chronos_0035): {#Emph}However long it takes? {#Prev}You speak of inevitability, little one. A subject on which I happen to be the expert. As to whomever sent you after me... I shall find them. Melinoe (Melinoe_0167): We'll see! ChronosMeeting05 Chronos (Chronos_0077): You yet persist, despite my generous attempts to dissuade you. Then, very well! You carry on as the distraction which you are, whilst I turn my attention to matters of greater import... Melinoe (Melinoe_0580): {#Emph}Ugh... ChronosMeetingAboutDemeter01 Chronos (Chronos_0617): The frosty goddess Demeter is urging you along this eve? Alas, there are no {#Emph}seasons {#Prev}in the Underworld. ChronosMeetingAboutHera01 Chronos (Chronos_0618): The self-made Queen of the Gods, bestowing you her Boon? Is there not some mortal wedding she ought to officiate? ChronosMeetingAboutHestia01 Chronos (Chronos_0619): The goddess of the hearth has blessed you now? There is no flame which {#Emph}Time {#Prev}cannot extinguish soon enough. ChronosMeetingAboutOlympians01 Chronos (Chronos_0620): Try all you like, my girl; but the outcome of this night shall be no different from the last. ChronosMeetingAboutPoseidon01 Chronos (Chronos_0616): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, so Poseidon gave you his blessing, has he now? What are you going to do... pour water on me? ChronosMeetingAboutPrometheus01 Chronos (Chronos_0911): Has crafty Prometheus proven too much for you, that you believe you shall fare better against {#Emph}me? ChronosMeetingAboutPrometheus02 Chronos (Chronos_0912): As you yet flail against me here, the shrewd Prometheus has many of your relatives entirely preoccupied... ChronosMeetingAboutShrine01 Chronos (Chronos_0913): There is a thickness to the air tonight... such darkness is presumably {#Emph}your {#Prev}doing, but shall do you little good. ChronosMeetingAboutTyphon01 Chronos (Chronos_0908): So you have seen what shall become of Mount Olympus, and abandoned that foolhardy path... soon, this one, too. ChronosMeetingAboutTyphon02 Chronos (Chronos_0910): I would be more concerned with that which now transpires on Olympus, were I you. I hear Typhon is rather upset... ChronosMeetingAboutTyphonW01 Chronos (Chronos_0909): I know not how you bested the Father of All Monsters, but all it did was make him angrier. ChronosMeetingAboutZeus01 Chronos (Chronos_0615): My dear son Zeus is already abetting you this night? I fear not his famous thunderbolt, young fool that he is. ChronosNightmare01 Chronos (Chronos_0056): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, there you are, my son. Grown a full beard and a broad frame, I see. And now you have a family of your own! How full of life they are, despite the dour environs. Hades (Hades_0003): Greetings, Father. I... was not expecting your arrival. You... must forgive us that the House was unprepared for guests. To what do we owe the pleasure of your company? Chronos (Chronos_0057): Oh, you know, for one thing, I was in the area! You might recall the time you, Zeus, and the rest of you little brats cut me to ribbons? Sprinkled all my bits, all throughout Tartarus? Hades (Hades_0004): Father... that was a war {#Emph}you {#Prev}started, and you know it! We took no joy in what we had to do! But how can this be? I thought that you were gone...! Chronos (Chronos_0058): Do not sound so disappointed! It is {#Emph}I {#Prev}who should be disappointed here, not {#Emph}you. {#Prev}You thought I was gone? I was! But it turns out spite is a powerful motivator. Blood sacrifices also helped. Hades (Hades_0021): What do you intend to do? And... what have you done to the others? To my family?! Chronos (Chronos_0059): Your cries fall on deaf ears. Fear not, my son. I have not {#Emph}eaten {#Prev}them or anything. I have merely... set them aside. They stand imprisoned in a moment that shall never pass. My qualm is not with {#Emph}them. Hades (Hades_0022): ...Olympus shall have your head. You can take {#Emph}mine{#Prev}, for all I care, {#Emph}blast you! {#Prev}But don't you {#Emph}dare {#Prev}harm anybody in my House. Chronos (Chronos_0071): {#Emph}Tsk! {#Prev}You have grown so accustomed to issuing commands that you forget yourself. Though, I do have such a command for {#Emph}you: {#Prev}Tell me, exactly, where the Fates reside. Hades (Hades_0023): The {#Emph}Fates? {#Prev}How should {#Emph}I {#Prev}know? Not even Nyx herself knows where her daughters are! Why are you... asking {#Emph}me...? ChronosNightmareGreeting.VoiceLines Hades (Hades_0020): No... Chronos (Chronos_0055): Hello, Hades... ChronosPostBattleMeeting01 Chronos (Chronos_0210): I thought that I might find you here, my girl. Such fire in your eyes! How obstinate the members of our family can be. Have you learned nothing from our previous exchange? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1400): Oh, I learned plenty, and I'm eager to learn more. So why don't you get out of my way, since there's nothing you can do within these woods but try to slow me down? Chronos (Chronos_0211): Past the point of reason, and so very self-assured. Then, very well! Come find me if you must, and learn some more. You know where I reside. I do not hide from {#Emph}gods! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1401): See you soon... ChronosPostBattleMeeting02 Chronos (Chronos_0004): Little one, do not presume to think your movements are invisible to me! I see you plainly where you stand. A trespass for which you shall suffer, although, regrettably, not by my hand right now. Not yet. ChronosPostBattleMeeting03 Chronos (Chronos_0005): I am Time itself. What are you? A thrall of those calling themselves gods, mindlessly serving at their whim. My children are crafty... to them, you are nothing but a common tool! And not an especially sharp one, it appears to me. ChronosPostBattleMeeting04 Chronos (Chronos_0006): If there is one thing on which the accursed Fates and I agree, it is that all eventually shall decay. All sprang from nothingness, and back into that Chaos we shall all return. You merely hurry it along. ChronosPostSurfaceMeeting01 Chronos (Chronos_0157): I was beginning to think I had successfully dissuaded you, when it came to my attention you were trespassing some other place instead. You dared venture above? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0494): I've seen your work up there firsthand. To have unsealed the very gates of hell! And brought disaster to mortals who've nothing to do with your petty vendetta. Chronos (Chronos_0158): You speak of the bedraggled city of Ephyra, which once stood in sycophantic tribute to your upstart father. Perhaps what mortals yet remain there shall think twice next time before they put their faith in {#Emph}gods. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0495): Coward... ChronosPostSurfaceMeeting02 Chronos (Chronos_0159): You cannot help the gods above, you know. My legions are vast, and death means little to them anymore. Not that your efforts here shall be of much consequence, either. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0496): Your surface legions fight and die for you, yet you hide behind them here. If you're so certain of your victory, you'd be leading them. Chronos (Chronos_0160): Leadership, my girl, is not about having to do everything oneself. It is about ensuring others share your same ideals and methodology. Wherever you may go, you shall encounter many who embrace my point of view, I think. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0497): No shortage of fools... ChronosPostSurfaceMeeting03 Chronos (Chronos_0161): No victories upon the surface as of yet? It appears you have {#Emph}two {#Prev}hopeless goals, rather than one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0498): I've only one, and hope has nothing to do with it. I may not be able to stop you yet, but neither can you stop me. You've tried. Chronos (Chronos_0162): You {#Emph}have {#Prev}been more resistant than {#Emph}some {#Prev}members of your family, I admit. Well then, see where your scattered ventures to the surface, or these depths, shall ultimately lead! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0499): We'll both see. ChronosPostSurfaceMeeting04 Chronos (Chronos_0611): At last you have returned to more-familiar environs, girl. Neither the gods nor the Fates want you upon the surface of this world! Yet you insist on fighting there, for them. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2022): I suppose I'll be more welcome in my father's home later this eve? As you can see I'm willing to fight there as well. Chronos (Chronos_0612): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, but you have such a long way to go! Confined to making the journey by foot, like a pathetic mortal. Do be sure to conserve some of your strength for the {#Emph}final stretch. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2023): {#Emph}Ungh... ChronosPostWinStreakMeeting01 Chronos (Chronos_0613): Why, here comes our shadowy assassin on her nightly escapade to try and do me harm! Although perhaps the outcome shall not be so fortunate, this time. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2024): We'll soon find out, won't we? I promise not to keep you waiting long. I'm well on my way already, as you can see. Chronos (Chronos_0614): Oh, that I {#Emph}can. {#Prev}Then, I had best return and make ready! We have to tidy up for your arrival, after all. Until later tonight. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2025): ...Until then. ChronosR1FirstWin Chronos (Chronos_0216): ...{#Emph}Nngh! {#Prev}This audience has lasted long enough. You do not get to {#Emph}barge {#Prev}into this House, and waste {#Emph}my {#Prev}time! I {#Emph}am {#Prev}Time. And I can make your every moment {#Emph}hell. ChronosR1Win01 Chronos (Chronos_0221): ...{#Emph}Nrgh{#Prev}, you wretched child...! Like father, like daughter, then, is it...? ChronosR1Win02 Chronos (Chronos_0222): ...You do not belong here... you do not belong {#Emph}anywhere{#Prev}, at all... ChronosR1Win03 Chronos (Chronos_0223): {#Emph}Pah...! {#Prev}It took six full-grown gods to thwart me once... not one mere {#Emph}child! ChronosR1Win04 Chronos (Chronos_0224): ...{#Emph}Heh heh... {#Prev}so, you possess some of your father's strength. Or rather, {#Emph}mine... ChronosR1Win05 Chronos (Chronos_0225): ...{#Emph}Augh... {#Prev}I grow quite weary of this dour place... ChronosR1Win06 Chronos (Chronos_0226): ...{#Emph}Ungh... {#Prev}perhaps... a change of scenery is best... ChronosRemains.OnHitVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1605): Impossible... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1606): Not going to work. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1607): Got you, you wretch. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1608): Stay dead! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1609): You're back where you belong. ChronosReveal01 Chronos (Chronos_0146): You seem to know your way around. I am master of this realm, yet even {#Emph}I {#Prev}would never venture into yonder woods. You even found your way back from your {#Emph}detour {#Prev}in Asphodel... Melinoe (Melinoe_0035): Damn you, Chronos...! Chronos (Chronos_0020): The Fates cannot help you now... Chronos (Chronos_0301): Time is running out... Chronos (Chronos_0333): Embarrassing. Chronos (Chronos_0591): Then let us wait... ChronosReveal01B Chronos (Chronos_0156): Such rage! Lashing out like a petulant child. You wish to fight with me, then so be it...! Melinoe (Melinoe_0035): Damn you, Chronos...! Chronos (Chronos_0020): The Fates cannot help you now... Chronos (Chronos_0301): Time is running out... Chronos (Chronos_0333): Embarrassing. Chronos (Chronos_0591): Then let us wait... ChronosRevealFollowUp Chronos (Chronos_0075): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, stop. It is a pity that this granddaughter of mine is both a weakling and a fool, though an elusive one. I ought to thank the Fates that we have met at last. Melinoe (Melinoe_0095): The Fates had nothing to do with this. You took my family. Chronos (Chronos_0076): {#Emph}Our {#Prev}family! Make not their same mistakes, and in time, we surely shall grow past this halted start to our relationship. I shall see you later. Melinoe (Melinoe_0096): Wait! You... ChronosScytheThrow.AIData.PreAttackVoiceLines Chronos (Chronos_0407): Catch! Chronos (Chronos_0408): Catch...! Chronos (Chronos_0409): Catch this...! Chronos (Chronos_0410): Catch, Granddaughter! Chronos (Chronos_0411): Here you are! Chronos (Chronos_0412): Here, I insist! Chronos (Chronos_0413): Here! Chronos (Chronos_0414): For you! Chronos (Chronos_0415): A little gift! Chronos (Chronos_0416): Cut to pieces! Chronos (Chronos_0417): Rend in twain! Chronos (Chronos_0418): Slice you to ribbons! Chronos (Chronos_0419): Shred to tiny bits! Chronos (Chronos_0420): I have something for you! Chronos (Chronos_0421): Fly, Hrodreptus! Chronos (Chronos_0422): Hrodreptus! CirceAboutArcana01 Circe (Circe_0041): Our Lady Hecate would sometimes tell me of your progress, and let on that you attuned to the Altar of Ashes at long last, {#Emph}hoho! {#Prev}How marvelous... for the Arcana have so much to offer us. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1977): I couldn't agree more. Through grasping the Arcana, I've discovered strength I never realized I had. To think I used to use our Altar merely to collect my thoughts. Circe (Circe_0042): Collecting one's thoughts is valuable enough! Mine own at least are prone to scattering. As for your innate strength and magickal acuity, perchance we shall discover even more. CirceAboutArcana02 Circe (Circe_0141): Within your grasp of the Arcana is a power for which I myself am known. When I was closer to your age, oh how I longed to earn the title of Enchantress! Now here both of us are. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3495): Your path always inspired me, Madame. For you did not accept things as they were; you learned to alter outcomes to your benefit. Made some big changes as I understand. Circe (Circe_0142): Seek not {#Emph}my {#Prev}path but {#Emph}yours! {#Prev}At first I sought to change the world, yes? For I quite hated much of what I saw. But through the teachings of Our Lady Hecate, I now seek to better understand... making adjustments here and there, {#Emph}hahaha! CirceAboutArcana03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3496): Something I've wondered about the Arcana, Madame. You appear to be depicted on one of the Cards... except she has these wrathful eyes. That isn't really {#Emph}you{#Prev}, is it? Circe (Circe_0143): Who can say, little miss? Of course she isn't {#Emph}me{#Prev}, for I am here, and she is there! The Arcana are mere likenesses, reflecting your {#Emph}own {#Prev}inner strength. Perchance even your eyes... CirceAboutBackstory01 Circe (Circe_0051): You and I are much alike in that Our Lady Hecate discovered us when most we needed someone such as her, poppet. Perchance, her similar affinity for beasts made her take some pity on me then... a witch, amongst the polecats and the pigs! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1981): Take pity on you, how? That doesn't sound like the Headmistress I know. She has always thought highly of you, and depends on you to be our eyes here at this key juncture. Circe (Circe_0052): I owe her this, and more. When I was a young outcast, practicing an art oft thought to be profane, it was our Lady who discovered me and showed me that my path led not to ruin, but to harmony. It veritably is a long and winding path, but one I shall not stray from anymore. CirceAboutCharybdis01 Circe (Circe_0148): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, such a mess! I told Our Lady Hecate that relocating this whole isle likely would have certain side effects. But to have inadvertently brought cruel Charybdis here? Not {#Emph}here {#Prev}of course but {#Emph}close! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3523): Now that you mention it, the giant whirlpool with tentacles and teeth {#Emph}did {#Prev}seem a little out of place in this channel. Circe (Circe_0149): At least she still has no shortage of sailing-ships to crash into her maw! She hasn't troubled you, though, has she, poppet...? CirceAboutChronos01 Circe (Circe_0047): What has the world come to, little miss? {#Emph}Uh! {#Prev}Living on my little isle, I must have been the last to learn calamity had spread all from the heavens to beneath the Earth! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1979): And Chronos is responsible for all of it. {#Emph}Time {#Prev}apparently wishes to ruin everything eventually, though we are not about to let him have his way. We'll drive his forces from Olympus and unseat him from my father's throne. Circe (Circe_0048): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, we immortals and our warring ways! What example do we set for {#Emph}mortalkind? {#Prev}But I know certain battles must be fought; and I remain committed to Our Lady Hecate, and you. CirceAboutCirceAspect01 Circe (Circe_0043): How fares my {#Emph}marvelous {#Prev}Descura, little miss? I knew that you were next in line for her, though I still feel a bit emotional to see my favored staff again, {#Emph}hohoho. {#Prev}Our Lady Hecate had to do more than a {#Emph}bit {#Prev}of prodding to make me give her up, {#Emph}hehehoho! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1975): I've done my best to wield Descura with respect; to live up to those who possessed the Witch's Staff before me. And it... or rather she has served me well. My presence here is evidence to that. Do you... wish to hold her again? Circe (Circe_0044): Oh, no, I mustn't! We had our time. Long had she grown heavy in my hands before I passed her on, besides. May she protect you just as fiercely as I know she can! CirceAboutCrystals01 Circe (Circe_0037): {#Emph}Ah-ha{#Prev}, I knew you would arrive just now, poppet, {#Emph}haha! {#Prev}No innate gift of foresight required, merely intuition and my crystals hereabouts. Have you incorporated any into {#Emph}your {#Prev}routine? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1976): Well... I've learned to see into our Pitch-Black Stone! I used to think that it was there to help make us unseen, but it has other potent uses, too. Crystals! So full of potential. Circe (Circe_0038): Mother Gaia's multicolored bounty, {#Emph}oh! {#Prev}I sometimes envy that you live beneath the Earth where crystals and gemstones grow in abundance! How brilliant they all are! CirceAboutEris01 Circe (Circe_0132): You've seen by now how the black wings of spiteful Strife oft darken up these skies! She overlooks my little isle, though flies {#Emph}perilously {#Prev}close. What is the latest reason for her {#Emph}ire? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3390): Oh Eris has seemed {#Emph}happier {#Prev}than usual if anything. At first I believed she was working for Chronos, but I think it's simply that she doesn't like when {#Emph}anyone {#Prev}succeeds. Other than her. Circe (Circe_0133): Well that's not a sound mode of thought at all. How I long for a world without Strife... yet I can scarce imagine one. She is a force that mustn't be ignored, but quelled. CirceAboutFamiliarCostumes01 Circe (Circe_0252): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, I almost didn't recognize that Animal Familiar of yours, which means you've made {#Emph}good {#Prev}use of Alteration of Familiar Forms! {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}Have your little beasts enjoyed the big change? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4533): They've issued no complaints! Though what changes I've seen only seem to affect their outward appearance. Is that the intended result? Circe (Circe_0253): Why, yes, of course! It's the Familiar's equivalent to a change of dress or style. Of late, we've little time for such indulgences ourselves, but at least we can pamper our friends! CirceAboutFamily01 Circe (Circe_0039): I oft forget, we share some kinship, do we not? My father is the shining Sun itself, the Titan Helios. Distant accomplice to the gods! Not close with anyone. But he is... brother to the Lady Demeter, my aunt, who is your grandmother, correct...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1973): Oh Madame Circe, right you are! That makes us cousins once removed, I think. I don't know how any of us can keep all this genealogy straight! In any case, the bond matters more than the blood, does it not? Circe (Circe_0040): Quite veritably so! Though, you'll forgive me that I've shied from all of it. Amongst family, I was expected to act differently with each and every one. I scarcely understood how to be {#Emph}me! {#Prev}Things are much simpler on this isle here. CirceAboutFrogFamiliar01 Circe (Circe_0128): You have an Animal Familiar there, poppet! How marvelous to see a beast and {#Emph}you {#Prev}thus bound! Each in kind, a source of safety and support! A cyclic pattern, as {#Emph}so {#Prev}many tend to be! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3388): Madame Circe, this is Frinos, my dear friend in whom I always can confide. In all your knowledge of Familiars, is there something you most wish that you'd known early on? Circe (Circe_0129): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, veritably {#Emph}yes! {#Prev}Although you mustn't try to skip through the experience of discovery along the journey you are on. But perchance there is something I might convey... CirceAboutHecate01 Circe (Circe_0049): How lately is the temperament of Our Lady Hecate? Long has it been since last I basked in her wisdom; for I have wisdom of my own, she says! You must have needed her attention more than I... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1980): Madame Circe, I... I did not mean to deny you her attention. Although Headmistress has been preoccupied not just with my training, but with leading the Unseen, warding the Crossroads against any harm, readying our plans to take back what's ours. She's counting on us... on you. Circe (Circe_0050): I know, I know... and I apologize that I insinuated any feelings of resentment on my part; for none exist towards you, let alone her! You have my {#Emph}word{#Prev}, poppet. It's just... she was like a mother to me! {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, how she hated when I told her so, {#Emph}haha! CirceAboutHermes01 Circe (Circe_0134): You have arrived here swiftly, poppet! And I presume that it was not solely the work of {#Emph}winds {#Prev}and {#Emph}currents {#Prev}and the like. The messenger-god Hermes speeds you onward, yes? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3391): I have his Boon this night. The gods are not so embattled that they cannot aid me in my voyage, and our strength is greatest when we share it. Though, why do you ask? Circe (Circe_0135): It's simply that the gods have limited awareness of my whereabouts, and I would keep it thus! No room for many visitors! And the Olympians would {#Emph}surely {#Prev}be aghast to look upon so modest of a place. CirceAboutHiddenAspect01 Circe (Circe_0155): How marvelous, you bear Descura in the Aspect that I witnessed in my dream! So then the message I relayed did resonate. What can you tell me of her newfound form? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3493): This is the Aspect of a god of the dead... not my father, but a being called Anubis. Distant to us either in place or time, but a protector of the Underworld in his own right. Thank you for leading me to this discovery. Circe (Circe_0156): Of course, of course, poppet! Anubis, was it then? To think that there are gods of the dead besides your father! But if the Fates charged {#Emph}him {#Prev}with the responsibility, perchance they charged others as well... or shall do so eventually. CirceAboutHiddenAspectProgress01 Circe (Circe_0153): Have you yet spoken with Descura as I suggested, little miss? The words have lingered with me still: {#Emph}I see you guarding graves of mortals passed into the black beyond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3492): I have been hesitant, Madame. What if this is a power for which I'm not sufficiently prepared? If Descura wanted to reveal to me this Aspect, then why the extra step? Circe (Circe_0154): Because some knowledge ought be passed along. Our time as bearers of Descura has an end, but our responsibility unto the realm of Night does not. CirceAboutHope01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3383): Some nights ago you spoke about {#Emph}our great ability to harbor hope{#Prev}. It reminded me of something that Prometheus himself had said, but I dismissed him at the time... Circe (Circe_0120): I realize that hope is simply not enough for one who studied with such rigor as you did! Yet even you, I sense, approach each night with openness to it going your way... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3384): But I make plans for every possibility, and am prepared to improvise when things inevitably don't unfold the way I want. Preparation and anticipation, not mere hope. Circe (Circe_0121): Call it whatever you prefer. But at the heart of what you describe exists a grain of something more; the source of all that drives us. Like a flame, it must be nurtured, lest it die. CirceAboutHut01 Circe (Circe_0033): Welcome, poppet! Though, forgive me that I've not invited you {#Emph}inside {#Prev}my little hut. Such hospitality I don't extend to anyone, {#Emph}hmhm! {#Prev}And I make no exceptions, not even for you! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1942): Madame Circe, that is perfectly all right. There's no need to explain! We all live in seclusion in our own way; what other way is there? With privacy comes peace of mind. Circe (Circe_0034): I'm grateful that you understand. Of late, I share my simple home with beasts but that is all! This Isle of Aiaia is not mine of course; rather, it's my dear companion, and can be {#Emph}yours. {#Prev}So please, help yourself to anything you need whilst here. CirceAboutIcarus01 Circe (Circe_0136): I lately hear the beating of so many different wings. The Harpies, soaring to the mountain siege; black-feathered Strife, who roils the currents of the air and sea; and even that boy Icarus, who has been flitting on, unmoored! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3392): He's trying to help our cause... though I think also enjoying a level of freedom he never had in life, nor as a Shade residing in the Underworld. For now, he can go where he pleases. Circe (Circe_0137): Yet he wishes to be {#Emph}here! {#Prev}That veritably speaks to his commitment. How like his ever-toiling father he turned out to be! Well, may he enjoy the wings of freedom whilst they last! CirceAboutKeepsake01 Circe (Circe_0126): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, you brought with you my Crystal Figurine! It ought provide a bit of vigor on such dire nights as we have had of late; and catches moonlight rather beautifully, I think! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3387): It does, thank you, Madame. Where I come from, the beasts and flora are quite different than here. Having a symbol of those differences is valuable to me. Circe (Circe_0127): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, beasts and flora make for fine companions, yes? They listen! And they speak with their souls, not with duplicitous words. {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, though come, let's get you on your way! CirceAboutLearning01 Circe (Circe_0234): You always had {#Emph}such talent {#Prev}for our craft! I wondered how it'd change you over time, for the temptations on the path are numerous! But you had the greatest teacher possible! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4524): Headmistress Hecate would say {#Emph}the greatest teacher is out there... {#Prev}referring probably to your isle, Madame Circe. What do you mean by temptations? Circe (Circe_0235): I mean {#Emph}power{#Prev}, little miss. Once you can manifest your desires, what's to {#Emph}stop {#Prev}you? Lessons learned the hard way, if at all. You have your left hand there as but one reminder... CirceAboutMagick01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3393): By the way, what are those incantations you've been working at night after night, Madame? Fortifying inner strength, concealing the island, nourishing the soil, and so on? Circe (Circe_0138): Oh, I'm mostly making supper for the piggies over there! I'd ask you dine with us at some point, though such meals are not to everybody's taste; and you have more important matters to resolve! CirceAboutMedea01 Circe (Circe_0053): I have seen neither hide nor hair of that Medea as of late! Her charge was far less pleasant than my own, having to watch over that ghastly town. I worry she's developing bad habits, practicing in such a place! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1982): I've seen Lady Medea recently. She seems rather comfortable in Ephyra, in spite of what's happened there. Though, has she always had such a singular interest in curses and the necromantic arts? Circe (Circe_0054): Since she was old enough to think for herself, yes, {#Emph}heh{#Prev}. To {#Emph}fend {#Prev}for herself, I should say. She may be my niece yet she was always {#Emph}far {#Prev}more interested in our blood's {#Emph}other {#Prev}properties. At least she hasn't put a curse on {#Emph}me, haha. Ah! {#Prev}As far as I can tell! CirceAboutMiracles01 Circe (Circe_0027): I foresaw within the facets of my crystals that you were headed here again... or {#Emph}through {#Prev}here, I should say. Is there a salve, potion, or poultice that might ease your passage? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1939): Most certainly, and thank you, Madame Circe. I don't suppose you have anything that renders me invulnerable, or lets me find vast quantities of rare reagents on my way? Circe (Circe_0028): Heavens {#Emph}no{#Prev}, poppet, {#Emph}hah! {#Prev}The greater the effect, the greater the unintended consequence, that much we know is true. {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, there is a {#Emph}balance {#Prev}to creating miracles! Shall one of these suffice? CirceAboutMoly01 Circe (Circe_0035): Something felt {#Emph}different{#Prev}, just as you arrived. It's {#Emph}Moly{#Prev}, isn't it? And quite a {#Emph}lot{#Prev}, as I perceive! You need no such protection in this place. A miracle it does not interfere with your own craft! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1974): I have been gathering what Moly I can find in Erebus. It has its uses to be sure, though in my purse it doesn't bother me, and remains fresh. You have an aversion to it? And here I thought that every plant and herb had earned your love. Circe (Circe_0036): Some earn my caution sooner than my love! Moly has a {#Emph}stifling {#Prev}effect I care for not at all! So much so, that I have learned to negate it. As you have no need of its powers here, it shall do neither of us any harm! Though, do be careful, little miss. CirceAboutOdysseus01 Circe (Circe_0055): I wonder, does Our Lady Hecate as yet consort with that Tactician Shade of hers, {#Emph}heh? {#Prev}Not of surpassing stature, prone to talk. {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, what was his name again...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1983): You mean Odysseus? He remains indispensable to our cause. What knowledge I possess of this route and the dangers along it are thanks largely to him. Why do you ask? Circe (Circe_0056): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}No reason at all! It's merely that he was a flighty sort as I recall, quite prone to wandering about! So his continued service is a bit of a surprise. A pleasant one, mind you! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1984): Did you use to know him? I don't recall you interacting at the Crossroads. Not that I was paying much heed to anything besides my studies then. I was so little last you visited! Circe (Circe_0057): Once I relocated this isle, the journey to the Crossroads became {#Emph}much {#Prev}more arduous. As for Odysseus, yes, him I've met before. Him and his pig-headed crew! A different age, poppet, {#Emph}haha! {#Prev}Perchance he's learned a bit since then. CirceAboutOdysseusKeepsake01 Circe (Circe_0219): What is it that you have there, little miss? {#Emph}Uh, mm{#Prev}, some old accursed Knuckle Bones, it seems... I ask you {#Emph}quickly {#Prev}get them hence! They're interfering with the energy about this place! CirceAboutOdysseusQuest00 Circe (Circe_0220): You bring with you ill presence, little miss. I do not welcome it at all! It's those old Knuckle Bones I sense you have, they... they first visited this isle long ago... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4519): Please, Madame. I got these from Odysseus himself, and they've only served me well. He's asked if you would speak with him through them. I don't know what you have to discuss, but can tell it burdens you both. Circe (Circe_0221): How strange to be entreated thus! You've far more urgent matters than to be {#Emph}his {#Prev}messenger! He could have voyaged here himself if he had anything of use to say, {#Emph}hoho! {#Prev}But {#Emph}no. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4520): We need our Great Tactician at his post. Look, if you can sense those Bones at all, then surely you can sense no negative intent. I'm sorry to disturb you nonetheless. Circe (Circe_0222): Oh it's all right, it's not {#Emph}your {#Prev}fault, poppet. But I am not prepared for conversation with him now. When next you bring those Bones here, though... {#Emph}eugh... {#Prev}perchance I shall. CirceAboutOdysseusQuest01 Circe (Circe_0223): Again those Knuckle Bones. Then very well, I'm an enchantress of my word, poppet. You may invoke our old friend the Tactician Shade; I would hear what he has to say. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4357): Very well, Madame. {#Emph}Heed now my voice, Odysseus; one whom you sought is here! Odysseus (Odysseus_0575): Lady Circe. I shall not take more than a moment of your time. I see you still are taking care of pigs! Circe (Circe_0224): I've found they're quite obedient. But I take it you're not here for them, Odysseus. The purpose of your visit is...? Odysseus (Odysseus_0576): Is there a place where we might briefly talk? The goddess by my side probably can't project me here for long. Circe (Circe_0225): Whatever you wish to say, do say it here and now. I distinctly recall we had together decided that no further discussion between us was wise, having reached an impasse, akin to obstacles {#Emph}you {#Prev}met at {#Emph}sea! Odysseus (Odysseus_0577): A recollection I share, but... look, I've never reached an impasse that I couldn't cross, and you yourself have mastered change. Rather than leave our past to rot, I thought perhaps we could... return it to the earth, as you might say. Circe (Circe_0226): That {#Emph}is {#Prev}a precarious position, for neither of us shall apologize and neither shall forget! We've been over this subject at length. I've studied it more than enough! Odysseus (Odysseus_0578): And I'm done studying it, too, my lady. It was a very different time for both of us, and now... we're close to those whom we both care about. I'd like to move on for their sake if not our own. Circe (Circe_0227): We have moved on, or so I thought at least. I harbor no ill will toward you, sailor! I said it when we met, and I am saying it again. We had our moment, but it has no power anymore. Odysseus (Odysseus_0579): Then let's agree on that. Now you be well, my lady. All I truly wanted to say was, my existence and memories are richer having met... I know myself better. And I'm grateful you are aiding us. Circe (Circe_0228): ...And there he goes, getting the last word in as always was his wont. Go on, poppet, I've done {#Emph}far {#Prev}too much talking for one night. CirceAboutOdysseusQuest02 Circe (Circe_0229): I wished to thank you for when last we spoke. And for delivering Odysseus to me. At first I... felt a great unease, but then, after you left... that sentiment did, too. He is a Shade; perchance he had been haunting me a bit. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4358): What happens now between you two, Madame? Is there something I can communicate on your behalf? Circe (Circe_0230): No need. I realize that we were bound to drift apart, for he is {#Emph}not {#Prev}the sort to remain still! But, if a memory of something must {#Emph}linger{#Prev}, a peaceful one is best. CirceAboutOlympus01 Circe (Circe_0114): So what is even happening there at the mountain of the gods? Some nights, great plumes of flame appear on the horizon, and storm clouds, {#Emph}terrible {#Prev}as ever I have {#Emph}seen! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3379): The source of these phenomena is a two-pronged assault on Mount Olympus: the Titan Prometheus and his raiders, and the monster Typhon himself. I'm headed to face them. Circe (Circe_0115): Good heavens, you mean face them {#Emph}all{#Prev}, poppet? Although perchance the perils you confront {#Emph}beneath {#Prev}the Earth are even worse! Let me protect you then, as best I can...! CirceAboutPrometheus01 Circe (Circe_0116): How regrettable to know Prometheus rebels against the gods... surely he must see that his pursuit of vengeance shall not bring him any peace! Is there no {#Emph}reasoning {#Prev}with him? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3380): He isn't much for talk, but then lately who is? We end up clashing just beneath the summit. Apparently he always knows who's going to be the victor... even if it's me. Circe (Circe_0117): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, he's foreseen his own defeat before. Can you imagine, poppet? To know of each and every ill awaiting you. I doubt if any punishment he has endured is worse than {#Emph}that. CirceAboutPrometheus02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3381): Do you believe the Titan of Foresight can truly see into the future, Madame? Prometheus is quite insistent about it. I'd sooner think {#Emph}you {#Prev}had such capability yourself. Circe (Circe_0118): Of that which shall transpire, I can sometimes see brief glimpses, little miss; provided I devote a lot of resources and time. Prometheus, I think, may see the future uncontrollably. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3382): But if you knew precisely what would happen, could you not simply change it? For example, if I knew we'd have this conversation, I could have avoided the subject... Circe (Circe_0119): But then your knowledge of the future would be wrong. Such knowledge can be dangerous, besides! Our great ability to harbor hope depends upon not knowing what's to come... CirceAboutScylla01 Circe (Circe_0058): All of this sea-water must feel very disconcerting, little miss. For me, though, it feels rather much like home! Even the depths of Oceanus bring a sense of comfort, more than fear! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1985): I'm getting used to it. My path into the Underworld requires me to skirt the edge of Oceanus. The water's beautiful, though I could do without the sea-monsters. Particularly Scylla and her Siren friends... perhaps you know of them? Circe (Circe_0059): Oh, {#Emph}yes! {#Prev}I do indeed. I grew up underneath the sea, and Scylla I remember from my youth. Always yelping about {#Emph}this {#Prev}or {#Emph}that! {#Prev}Was {#Emph}deafening! {#Prev}Perchance why I prefer the silence now. CirceAboutScylla02 Circe (Circe_0160): How is old Scylla lately anyhow? I hadn't heard that she descended to your depths. You said she's banded with some Sirens, yes? For what, to sing their songs? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3526): Well, yes. She longs for fame above all else, and to drown things. I've had to put a stop to her performances now more than a few times. The Book of Shadows I possess states she's the victim of a witch's curse... do you know whose? Circe (Circe_0161): Oh, what an interesting Book that one must be! I do not curse, poppet. My practice is about revealing the true nature of a thing. When last I checked, Scylla had made hers clear. CirceAboutScyllaQuest01 Circe (Circe_0212): I've been thinking, poppet, if that Scylla has been posing problems for you during your descent, perchance I can be of some benefit? But I require something first: a special Pearl. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4340): Truly? I happen to have more than a few Pearls from her here, so take your pick. Although, first tell me more of what you have in mind. Circe (Circe_0213): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, none of these shall do! One must be taken from her with particular intent, under a dark and fearful night, to drown her ambitions, as a Siren would a sailor...! Can you do that for me? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4341): Perhaps, but... what shall become of Scylla if I do? She's hindered me but does provide some entertainment for the Shades of Oceanus at least. Circe (Circe_0214): She shall no longer pose a threat. Whilst the influence of Night is strong, claim one of Scylla's precious Pearls, and declare: {#Emph}May your ambitions drown. {#Prev}Consider it at least? CirceAboutScyllaQuestComplete01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4343): I have a Pearl here from Scylla, Madame, although not imbued with your intent. You said your practice is about revealing the true nature of things. Hers is already plain. Circe (Circe_0215): Hence the reason I suggested we {#Emph}subdue {#Prev}her. But you've no taste for such enchantments, I see... which means you passed another test, {#Emph}hahaha! {#Prev}Congratulations, poppet! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4344): {#Emph}What? {#Prev}Did Headmistress put you up to this? To see if I'd resort to cursing an inconsequential foe merely because I could...? Circe (Circe_0216): To see if you would blindly do the bidding of an elder merely because you were asked. Our craft is most effective with restraint; a hard lesson we all eventually learn. Of course if Scylla should become a greater threat, {#Emph}hm... {#Prev}do seek me out. CirceAboutSelene01 Circe (Circe_0045): You've one of great Selene's precious blessings on this eve, that I can tell, poppet! Even from afar, the Moon has always kept me company. Her light can be so {#Emph}utterly {#Prev}transformative! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1978): And may Selene's light ever shine for us, Madame. I'd likely not have found my way to you if not for her. As for her magick... sometimes I wonder if it isn't transforming me, so much as revealing who I really am. Circe (Circe_0046): That may well be so! Who is to say where our true nature lies? A spell of transformation is a spell of revelation; when we change, we become more like {#Emph}ourselves{#Prev}. Not less! CirceAboutStudies01 Circe (Circe_0029): How you were {#Emph}always {#Prev}at your studies, little miss! That you are here suggests how much you have achieved. I always wanted you to visit me; you used to say it was {#Emph}impossible! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1940): It turns out even prophecies of the Three Fates are circumventable. Though, I still have much to learn... or so I keep reminding myself night after night. How about you? You must have perfect mastery over our craft by now! Circe (Circe_0030): Now it's {#Emph}my {#Prev}turn to say something {#Emph}is {#Prev}impossible! I've been practicing enchantment for three quarters of my life, and have yet to ever change the essence of a thing! Only the {#Emph}form. {#Prev}But the pursuit I find is fascinating without end! CirceAboutSurfacePenalty01 Circe (Circe_0139): ...I had been meaning to inquire, how in all the heavens is it possible you've traveled so far from your home-realm, little miss? I'd understood that you could scarcely breathe this air! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3494): Well, you know what we say, Madame: There's an incantation for practically everything. This one in particular felt almost as though I was lifting a curse. Circe (Circe_0140): I see! But all of us perchance are cursed in some odd way; either we learn to live with it, or discover how to overcome it. CirceAboutThessaly01 Circe (Circe_0031): {#Emph}Fie {#Prev}on that never-ending fleet of ghastly sailing-ships, all headed for the mountain of the gods, {#Emph}hah! {#Prev}My little isle sometimes gets {#Emph}right {#Prev}in the way! No hospitality awaits {#Emph}their {#Prev}boorish crews, {#Emph}ahaha! {#Prev}Whilst {#Emph}I {#Prev}replenish my supply of firewood. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1941): You must long for the days when your island was more secluded, and had much less unwanted company. I hope I'm not disturbing your peace, Madame! Circe (Circe_0032): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, heavens {#Emph}no! {#Prev}In actuality, it could be rather all too quiet with only the rustle of the vegetation, and the snuffle of my piggies, and the like. I more than welcome your returns! CirceAboutTraining01 Circe (Circe_0146): For all the rigors of these evenings, little miss, at least your studies must be finally complete! Now you're learning from the {#Emph}greatest teacher of all{#Prev}, as Our Lady Hecate might say. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3522): That's mostly true, Madame, except Headmistress still is prone to testing me herself night after night, just as I'm ready to depart from Erebus. Though not when I head here! Circe (Circe_0147): I scarce imagine that the trials you face upon the surface are less rigorous than those you face below! And look how far you've come with what you've learned! CirceAboutTransformation01 Circe (Circe_0144): I oft consider turning you into a bird to ease your journey, but you'd abandon your Night-given weaponry and reagents... you'd arrive upon the mountain of the gods naked, and cold... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3521): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}No thank you, then, Madame. While I sometimes grow envious of my considerable number of flight-capable acquaintances, I'm comfortable making my way on foot. Circe (Circe_0145): That is as clear as crystal to me, little miss! Though, should you {#Emph}ever {#Prev}change your mind and wish to live a little as a beast, do summon me without delay then, yes? CirceAboutTyphon01 Circe (Circe_0122): So you have seen the great monstrosity with your own eyes, have you, poppet? Typhon, I mean, of course! Oft have I wondered about his deep connection to the natural world... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3385): And what connection would {#Emph}that {#Prev}be? He's a monster, just as you said! A thing that does not belong in our world. Circe (Circe_0123): Yet there he is, where you'll be going soon! Who only knows the limits of our world, and that which it contains...? Veritably not you or I, poppet! {#Emph}All that is here belongs{#Prev}, is what I say. CirceAboutTyphonW01 Circe (Circe_0124): That awful storm enveloping the mountain of the gods, why just the other night, it {#Emph}cleared{#Prev}, all brilliant moonlight in its place! I thought perchance you had achieved what you'd set out to do, {#Emph}hah! Oh{#Prev}, but now you're back, and... so's the storm. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3386): It turns out the Father of All Monsters is not particularly easy to dissuade... I don't know who wants his vengeance against Lord Zeus more; Typhon, Prometheus, or Chronos. Circe (Circe_0125): Our Lady Hecate and you seek vengeance of your own. You've met Charybdis in the Rift here, yes? An all-consuming force! When I imagine vengeance, all I see is that engulfing maw... CirceChat01 Circe (Circe_0005): Whilst I could turn you into almost anything, {#Emph}I {#Prev}think you're {#Emph}very nearly perfect {#Prev}as you are! CirceChat02 Circe (Circe_0006): I bid you make yourself at home, although I know you cannot stay for very long. Your palms? CirceChat03 Circe (Circe_0007): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}I ought to have some sort of salve, potion, or poultice here that suits you very well indeed! CirceChat04 Circe (Circe_0008): Do remember that we cannot change who we are, poppet. Only {#Emph}what. {#Prev}Now, then: your palms. CirceChat05 Circe (Circe_0009): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, how fortuitous that we have met again on an enchanting evening such as this! CirceChat06 Circe (Circe_0010): My existence here is quite a peaceful one. I highly recommend it once your warring is complete! CirceChat07 Circe (Circe_0011): There is no need for words whilst on the Isle of Aiaia, little miss. A look from you already says it all! CirceChat08 Circe (Circe_0012): I would invite you to stay for tea, yet know you have to hurry on your way. Some other circumstance? CirceChat09 Circe (Circe_0013): My piggies all were squealing with delight when I foretold you would be visiting again this eve! CirceChat10 Circe (Circe_0014): It's not so oft my piggies and I welcome visitors, as this little isle's practically impossible to find! CirceChat11 Circe (Circe_0015): You are welcome here and safe, little miss! Breathe deeply, and relax your shoulders and your mind... CirceChat12 Circe (Circe_0016): We cannot change ourselves {#Emph}entirely{#Prev}, poppet, but: We can change our fortunes up a bit! {#Emph}Hahaha, haha! CirceChat13 Circe (Circe_0017): My, but you are turning into such an {#Emph}enchanting young goddess{#Prev}, night upon night! CirceChat14 Circe (Circe_0018): I'd not change a thing about you, poppet. But I can! We'll make it temporary just in case! CirceChat15 Circe (Circe_0019): The mountain of the gods is not so very far beyond! Let's make you ready for that {#Emph}brutal {#Prev}climb! CirceChat16 Circe (Circe_0020): To live is but to undergo a constant series of small transformations, little miss. CirceChat17 Circe (Circe_0021): Your thoughts and choices make you who you are, but I could make you something {#Emph}more! CirceChat18 Circe (Circe_0022): We all seek to find our true selves, yet oft the search is long and difficult! So let us go prepared. CirceChat19 Circe (Circe_0023): My little hut is just embarrassingly unpresentable! Not that anyone shall know, other than me. CirceChat20 Circe (Circe_0024): Within my crystals I foresaw your voyaging this eve, and am so pleased you took my invitation to return! CirceChat21 Circe (Circe_0025): A welcome sight upon a ghastly night! But we shall change it for the better here. CirceChat22 Circe (Circe_0026): We are by nature not immutable, and to transform ourselves is to become {#Emph}who we are... CirceFirstMeeting Circe (Circe_0002): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, well, isn't this marvelous! How you've {#Emph}grown{#Prev}, little miss! Do you remember Circe the Enchantress still? {#Emph}Ah? {#Prev}Oh, no matter, {#Emph}hahaha. {#Prev}Not the circumstances for small talk! Show me your palms. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1756): Of course I remember you, Madame Circe! So this is your famous island! Such a relief to be here rather than another drowned ship. I take it we're not meeting by chance? Circe (Circe_0003): Wise to our ways as ever! Our Lady Hecate and I decided I had best relocate for a while, and survey events as near the mountain of the gods as possible. Then tonight within my crystals, I saw {#Emph}you! {#Prev}Now, how may we make you better? CirceGift01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1943): Madame Circe, I'm grateful that we had a chance to meet again after all this time. Your kindness to me always meant a lot, and I wanted to give you this small token in return. Circe (Circe_0060): {#Emph}Nectar! Ohh, thank you{#Prev}, little miss! I've made attempts to brew my own but never get it right! Though why don't you take {#Emph}this {#Prev}in kind? Think of it as a little island souvenir! CirceGift02 Circe (Circe_0061): Good heavens! More, for {#Emph}me? {#Prev}I'm unaccustomed to receiving gifts here on my little isle. Though I'm pleased to try and get more used to it, {#Emph}ahaha! {#Prev}If you must so {#Emph}insist! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1945): {#Emph}Insist {#Prev}is a strong word, Madame, but I would like for you to have this, yes. Perhaps it will help you perfect your own recipe... or while away a pleasant night, should one arise. CirceGift03 Circe (Circe_0157): Not all divinities require offerings, you know. Our Olympian relatives... they have come to expect this type of giving, but not I! Do not presume to spoil me! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3524): Olympus is well-accustomed to receiving offerings from all across the land. Living here on this remote island, I don't think you're at risk of getting quite as used to it as that! CirceGift04 Circe (Circe_0158): {#Emph}Well{#Prev}, this is {#Emph}marvelous! {#Prev}I'm grateful, little miss! Our kind oft lack for company; to have another such as you to visit me from time to time, it's been a welcome turn, despite the ghastly work that is at hand, {#Emph}hahahaha! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3525): Even if and when all this is over at some point, I still would like if we kept meeting up like this. Your island is a wonderful place, and I truly admire your commitment to our craft. CirceGift05 Circe (Circe_0231): At times I worry that your heart must have grown cold... hardened to all the turmoil. But then, you show me kindness such as this! You have learned much, though this propensity appears to be innate! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4521): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, I... it's just Nectar, which must not be too easy to come by here. They're even lacking for it on Olympus recently! But, I'm grateful that you see in me whatever it is you think is there. CirceGift06 Circe (Circe_0232): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}why thank you so much, little miss, {#Emph}again! {#Prev}The Nectar you bring tastes so sweet and yet, my feelings for it are becoming {#Emph}clouded {#Prev}recently... so let this be the last for now...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4522): Madame Circe, was it something I did or said? You're left to your own devices on your island here, and so I thought perhaps you might enjoy a bit of an exotic good... Circe (Circe_0159): And that I do! But I'm reminded, with each bottle, of a life I led filled with great luxuries... most all of which I've left behind. And I shall not go back. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4523): I fully understand. But thank you truly, Madame. For all your wisdom, and for making me your guest. CirceGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4525): I know you have no want of Nectar at the moment, Madame, but I thought perhaps you might be interested in this? For your enchantments, or even your animal companions. Circe (Circe_0236): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}Why if it isn't {#Emph}Ambrosia! {#Prev}A precious gift, even a source of marvelous light during these darker evenings! What is occasion for this, for it must have slipped {#Emph}my {#Prev}mind? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4526): Well, seeing as you've taught me more of how to manifest my will... I figure this can become a special occasion through the act itself, can't it? Circe (Circe_0237): It veritably {#Emph}can, thank {#Prev}you! Then, to the fortune of our meetings, here and hence! As to whether I shall keep this or share it with my piggies, I shall have to ponder for a while... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4527): Please enjoy it! CirceGift08 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4528): You mentioned that you weren't certain whether to keep the previous Ambrosia or share it with your piggies. Please, allow me to alleviate this impossible dilemma. Circe (Circe_0238): Oh well then {#Emph}this {#Prev}one must be for keeping, naturally! Because last time my piggies {#Emph}definitely {#Prev}had their fill. I never realized Our Lady Hecate taught you to be {#Emph}so generous! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4529): Headmistress taught me to protect myself, to stay focused, and much more. But what I know of generosity is certainly in no small part because of you, Madame. There was always more warmth at the Crossroads when you were around. Circe (Circe_0239): Well, that is kind of you to say... but I'm not widely known for my warmth, you know. You merely brought it out in me, as you have done again just now! So... thank you very much. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4530): You're most welcome. CirceGrantsFamiliarCostumes01 Circe (Circe_0250): I am impressed with how you've cared for your Familiars, poppet! By the will of Our Lady Hecate, I possess certain knowledge of the subject I now shall yield to you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4531): Oh, thank you Madame! Which sort of knowledge do you have in mind? You must know beasts better than anyone. Circe (Circe_0251): You'll see, {#Emph}you'll see! {#Prev}This is a favorite of mine, and so it's not my wish to spoil the surprise! CirceGrantsHiddenAspect01 Circe (Circe_0150): You have been a worthy mother to Descura, I can tell. Nurtured her appetite with many souls! I therefore wish to share with you a {#Emph}dream {#Prev}I vividly recall... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3398): A dream concerning me and the Staff of Dusk, Madame? That seems rather specific. Though dreams do get that way at times... Circe (Circe_0151): In said dream, I saw what first I thought to be a jackal, all surrounded by the dead. The sight of him was marvelous, as words reverberated in my mind: {#Emph}I see you guarding graves of mortals passed into the black beyond. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3399): {#Emph}I see you guarding graves of mortals passed into the black beyond. {#Prev}That sounds like it could be a waking-phrase. So if I speak it to Descura by the Silver Pool... Circe (Circe_0152): ...Then I foresee she shall reveal to you an Aspect of herself! As her former bearer, your connection with me cannot be coincidence! Thus this knowledge ought be yours. CirceLowHealth01 Circe (Circe_0130): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, what a ghastly aura that you have, if I'm to be candid here, poppet! Such suffering you've already endured this eve; forgive me, but you mustn't stay for long... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3389): Forgive my wretched state, Madame. The waters have been disagreeable, to say nothing of the vast necropolis I'm forced to navigate. But all this merely is excuse-making... Circe (Circe_0131): Well let me offer you what aid I may, but heavens, do {#Emph}not {#Prev}wallow anymore! You haven't time enough for it! Worse comes to worst, return to shadow, rest, and then press on. CircePostEpilogue01 Circe (Circe_0248): Our Lady Hecate informs me of a marvelous development... you had a brush with the Three Fates? Scarce few are able to lay claim to {#Emph}that, hah! Ooh... {#Prev}did you happen to see their palms? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4538): No, unfortunately, Madame, as they were rather shrouded in the darkness where I encountered them. What do you make of this new prophecy of theirs...? Circe (Circe_0249): What, that the times eventually shall {#Emph}change? Hah! {#Prev}I find it to be {#Emph}not {#Prev}their boldest prediction, since you asked! Live long enough, and you shall see that times do {#Emph}not {#Prev}change, so much as turn like a wheel. CircePostTrueEnding01 Circe (Circe_0240): Where have you been for all these nights, poppet? So many oddities took place, each {#Emph}stranger {#Prev}than the last! Those ghastly sailing-ships out there {#Emph}all {#Prev}seemed to lose their {#Emph}course{#Prev}, for one. I know not what occurred! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4534): Chronos is defeated, Madame... and I mean for good! That's likely why his forces have been notably disorganized, although they're not gone, and neither is he. Has Headmistress not communicated this? Circe (Circe_0241): Good heavens, why, why, why, why, {#Emph}no! {#Prev}Unless... well, I can be very isolated here, perchance I missed some message she relayed, I... {#Emph}oh! {#Prev}So then you mean to tell me you're victorious? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4535): Well, {#Emph}yes! {#Prev}What now remains is to ensure he'll not rise up against the gods again, ever. He or Typhon. Circe (Circe_0242): {#Emph}Oh! Ah, oh, my... hah, oh my{#Prev}, this is, {#Emph}oh! {#Prev}I must confer with Our Lady Hecate at once! But first, please, quickly, make your choice! CircePostTrueEnding02 Circe (Circe_0244): Our Lady Hecate confirmed each detail of what you have achieved, although with {#Emph}far {#Prev}less modesty than you! {#Emph}Oh... {#Prev}such an accomplishment, poppet...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4536): Thank you, Madame Circe. If not for your enchantments I might never have gained the summit of Olympus, which was a necessary step. You don't mind if we keep on like this? Circe (Circe_0245): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}I would mind if we no longer did! So long as you have more to do, you can veritably count on my contribution! CircePostTrueEnding03 Circe (Circe_0246): The weather on Olympus has been better recently, as I oft see it clear! No trace of the monstrosity you faced before. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4537): Traces of Typhon do remain, though they are nearly imperceptible. But they can be destroyed. Circe (Circe_0247): And you are headed to the mountain to achieve just that. Typhon was not exactly a natural being; that is what distinguishes a monster from a beast! So I shall not lament his passing, nor shall anybody, I expect. ClockworkHeavyMelee.EnemySightedVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1643): Wretches... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1644): Wretches...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1645): Come, Wretches!

Cosmetic_Cauldron01b.RevealReactionVoiceLines Hecate (Hecate_0740): Rest well, Python... Dora (Dora_0442): Bet you can cook up some {#Emph}real {#Prev}nasty curses in this baby. Cosmetic_CauldronPillars01a.RevealReactionVoiceLines Dora (Dora_0446): We want to keep things nice and dark around here, right? Cosmetic_CauldronPillars01b.RevealReactionVoiceLines Dora (Dora_0447): Should make things look a little classier maybe? Cosmetic_CauldronPillars01c.RevealReactionVoiceLines Dora (Dora_0448): Old architecture always has a certain charm, I guess! Cosmetic_CauldronRing01a.RevealReactionVoiceLines Hecate (Hecate_0741): Oh! Dora (Dora_0444): Just can't go wrong with Moon-themed stuff I guess. Cosmetic_CauldronRing01b.RevealReactionVoiceLines Hecate (Hecate_0742): A welcome change. Dora (Dora_0445): Don't think the head witch is too big on flowers but... OK.

Cosmetic_CollectableEris.RevealReactionVoiceLines Dora (Dora_0733): Got a bad feeling about this one... probably nothing! Cosmetic_CollectableHecate.RevealReactionVoiceLines Dora (Dora_0728): It's the head witch! Can you take off her hat and mask? Cosmetic_CollectableIcarus.RevealReactionVoiceLines Dora (Dora_0731): That one guy with the wings! I'd recognize him anywhere.

Cosmetic_ErisWarningSign01.RevealReactionVoiceLines Eris (Eris_0441): Who is {#Emph}that? Melinoe (Melinoe_4068): Just in case the rubbish Eris strews about isn't warning enough.

Cosmetic_FanPoster01.RevealReactionVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_3668): This is only so that I can better study my opponent. Dora (Dora_0417): What you like or listen to is no one's business but yours. And mine. Cosmetic_FanPoster01a.RevealReactionVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_3669): Could use a scroll of Great Selene to watch over me even in here.

Is this him? Cosmetic_HypnosPedestal01b.RevealReactionVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_4136): I wonder if Lord Hypnos would have chosen these himself... Cosmetic_HypnosPillars01a.RevealReactionVoiceLines Dora (Dora_0461): A bit of rustic elegance to spruce this place right up!

DemeterAboutAphrodite01 Demeter (Demeter_0061): Normally, sweet Aphrodite's power over beauty provides no shortage of entertainment I'm sure, though I fail to see how her blessing can be of much benefit in such a predicament as ours. DemeterAboutApollo01 Demeter (Demeter_0054): Your fair cousin Apollo wields the light that mortals so cherish, for it brings them warmth, melting away my snow. With my permission, of course! His power shall only help you so much. DemeterAboutAres01 Demeter (Demeter_0241): I knew warlike Ares would be unable to resist giving our present conflict his personal attention. Although I doubt he shall help put it to an end, for he is thoroughly enjoying this. DemeterAboutArtemis01 Demeter (Demeter_0063): Perhaps I misjudged your woodsy cousin Artemis. To think that she found you! I was certain she was merely gallivanting with her Nymph-friends rather than being of use. DemeterAboutAthena01 Demeter (Demeter_0243): Did the famous wisdom of Athena live up to her reputation, flower? I would think our master strategist should not have to defend the front lines herself. But what do I know? DemeterAboutBlessings01 Demeter (Demeter_0037): I've so much I would speak with you about, Melinoë... but this is not the hour or the means. At least you can hear {#Emph}me{#Prev}, can't you? And I can sense your presence, faint and distant though it may be. DemeterAboutChronos01 Demeter (Demeter_0040): I {#Emph}detested {#Prev}Chronos even in my youth. Almost as much as my own Titan father. We took our vengeance, though; on Chronos, Hyperion, and the rest. But I was a fool to think we'd never see any of them again... DemeterAboutChronos02 Demeter (Demeter_0041): We've been locked in conflict with Chronos for so long that we've begun to doubt that anything can meaningfully change. I wonder, flower... can you truly rid us of this blight? DemeterAboutChronos03 Demeter (Demeter_0097): I take it Chronos still goes everywhere with that old gaudy-looking golden scythe of his? He fancies himself a reaper, speaks of harvest and decay; but he merely speaks in riddles, whilst {#Emph}I {#Prev}work directly in the trade. DemeterAboutChronosBossW01 Demeter (Demeter_0213): If it is true you reached the Underworld's depths and slew that wretched Titan there, then {#Emph}good. {#Prev}It likely shall take more than that, I know, but you must have inflicted some amount of pain, and perhaps fear. Which is a start. DemeterAboutChronosBossW02 Demeter (Demeter_0214): You bested Chronos again didn't you, flower? We always knew he could be beaten; I once saw to it myself. But can he be destroyed? The Witch of the Crossroads {#Emph}must {#Prev}know... DemeterAboutCirce01 Demeter (Demeter_0155): The witch Circe, whom you know. She's distant daughter to my Titan-brother Helios the Sun, who dares not show his face. Her enthusiasm for soil and grain is almost cloying... though I appreciate the underlying sentiment. DemeterAboutEarth01 Demeter (Demeter_0098): Fear not for this mountaintop, nor for the Earth; for she is far more resilient than us all. Our foes could scour {#Emph}every trace {#Prev}of our existence, yet Mother Gaia would remain, and recover. DemeterAboutEphyra01 Demeter (Demeter_0094): Nothing lives in the city of Ephyra. And I shall keep it that way until its infestation of shambling wretches is brought to heel! Though, you need not concern yourself with the details; we have someone already on the case. DemeterAboutEphyra02 Demeter (Demeter_0163): Are you on your way here to us, flower? A journey that your mother made many a spring... but at a different time, whilst not beset by thuggish followers of a despicable Titan. DemeterAboutFamilyTree01 Demeter (Demeter_0230): How revolting to think that Chronos is technically a grandfather to you, as I am a grandmother. We have no connection at all, yet this family tree of ours has grown for many aeons and has twisted limbs by now... DemeterAboutFarmBoy01 Demeter (Demeter_0160): You have one grandfather in the cruel Titan, Chronos... and another who was nothing but a mortal farm-boy worshiper of mine. Whether I loved or pitied him, I cannot say. At least your mother was born deathless... DemeterAboutFates01 Demeter (Demeter_0229): Now even the weavers of destiny apparently are gone, and shall do nothing to preserve their stake in our futures? That is the talk on the mountain, Granddaughter. So then we truly are alone... but we can fend for ourselves. DemeterAboutFates02 Demeter (Demeter_0232): Chronos claims not even he knows where the Three Fates currently reside, despite having cast them away himself? I've seldom heard such foolishness. To think such a bumbling fool could have come so close to overthrowing us! DemeterAboutFields01 Demeter (Demeter_0093): Your journey sends you through the Mourning Fields. I've seen that place... just {#Emph}dreadful{#Prev}, utterly! All of the wheat there, it... I thought perhaps it would provide a bit of cheer... DemeterAboutHades01 Demeter (Demeter_0089): Your father was sullen and difficult even whilst young, quite honestly. What my daughter saw in him, I could not. Yet my Kore as I called her... she would brighten around him... DemeterAboutHades02 Demeter (Demeter_0090): Word reaches us that you located Hades, flower! How he must seethe, incarcerated in that pit of despair, although at least he's whole. What of your mother, nothing still...? DemeterAboutHades03 Demeter (Demeter_0270): Surely he would not admit to this... but your father has been through quite an ordeal. Worse perhaps than any of us. But he and your mother have weathered difficult times before, and each time they have grown from it. DemeterAboutHecate01 Demeter (Demeter_0086): The first time your mother was lost to me... the Witch of the Crossroads emerged from the shadows to light my way, as I searched to the ends of the Earth. We found not a thing; but at least I was not alone... DemeterAboutHecate02 Demeter (Demeter_0039): You know I always felt a kinship with Hecate, seldom though we saw each other. She never seemed to want for children of her own. But the Fates delivered you to her anyhow. DemeterAboutHecate03 Demeter (Demeter_0269): I reached out to the Witch of the Crossroads recently... to give thanks to her, for making such a difficult decision to keep you hidden for as long as she did. I know she did it for your safety... and to raise the likelihood we would prevail. DemeterAboutHelAspect01 Demeter (Demeter_0238): That artifact you bear... such cold is emanating from it that I sense its power all the way from here. Whatever is the origin of all that deathlike frost, it isn't of this realm... DemeterAboutHephaestus01 Demeter (Demeter_0058): Why, you even got the elusive god of the forge to crawl out of his cave. To think that all it took was this terrible in-fighting with our forebear to bring our family closer together. DemeterAboutHera01 Demeter (Demeter_0059): Well it seems you've earned the good graces of my sister Hera! And you didn't even have to commit yourself to a mate or bear any children, I suppose. She must be growing soft! DemeterAboutHermes01 Demeter (Demeter_0062): You're making haste, flower! I'd swear that you were graced by swift Hermes himself, except he must be too busy keeping watch over our enemies to be of much benefit to you. DemeterAboutHestia01 Demeter (Demeter_0060): So Hestia gave you her gift of flame? Normally the old miser wants nothing to do with any of us, not even her sisters. But extraordinary times do call for extraordinary measures. DemeterAboutKeepsake01 Demeter (Demeter_0087): We are connected not unlike that Sheaf of Barley which you have. Each stem is broken easily, and yet the bunch is strong! Each different, and yet all very much alike. DemeterAboutMelinoe01 Demeter (Demeter_0034): Melinoë... I was certain you were gone. Scarce born, only to be taken by Chronos, along with my daughter and those nearest her. But the Witch of the Crossroads got you out of there, did she? How could she not send word...? DemeterAboutMelinoe02 Demeter (Demeter_0035): When bright Apollo gathered us and announced that his twin sister, whilst out hunting for our enemies, stumbled upon a long-lost relative with the Witch of the Crossroads, why... I was overjoyed and furious at once... DemeterAboutMelinoe03 Demeter (Demeter_0036): You could have informed us; informed {#Emph}me{#Prev}, whilst you grew supple and strong in the Witch's care. Yet knowing Hecate... she must have deemed the risk too great. I understand. I'll try to understand... DemeterAboutMoon01 Demeter (Demeter_0045): Even in the dark of a new moon, when Selene herself dares not ride across the cold night sky, I found you there... and I shall give you all the power that I have to spare. DemeterAboutOceanus01 Demeter (Demeter_0092): What are you doing in those brackish depths, flower? Even Poseidon has turned his back on what lurks in that corner of the sea. Does such a path truly lead deeper into hell? DemeterAboutPackageBounty01 Demeter (Demeter_0156): Something about this night is troubling... as though some force of will yawned forth from the very depths of Chaos. But {#Emph}you {#Prev}wouldn't know anything of this, would you? DemeterAboutPalace01 Demeter (Demeter_0228): There has been little cause for joy upon Olympus in the recent past, certainly not for me. But seeing {#Emph}you{#Prev}, flower? That made up for much of the hardship. I know it may be some time before we meet again, but also know we {#Emph}shall. DemeterAboutPersephone01 Demeter (Demeter_0088): You inherited your mother's flaxen hair, and seemingly her force of will. Greenery would burst to life for her... the dead would too, if but they could. Within the reaches of my heart not yet grown cold, I know she still is safe. DemeterAboutPersephone02 Demeter (Demeter_0224): Your mother used to visit us for months on end, but now... knowing that she is all right and restored to her Underworld throne, I could not ask for more. Not right away. DemeterAboutPersephoneAspect01 Demeter (Demeter_0237): Some sort of skull you have... one of the Arms of Night, I know, and yet, that {#Emph}form... {#Prev}something about it, it... reminds me not of Nyx, but... of my {#Emph}daughter? Ah{#Prev}, but do not listen to my ravings. Carry on. DemeterAboutPom01 Demeter (Demeter_0064): I wonder if the vile pomegranate fruit yet grows in your Underworld. It holds a power there that I do not abide; a mere taste of its blood-like seeds can be very dangerous, indeed. DemeterAboutPoseidon01 Demeter (Demeter_0056): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, you bear the blessing of Poseidon! Surely such a loud and blustering god must have more than sufficient might to back it up? DemeterAboutPoseidon02 Demeter (Demeter_0057): So Poseidon has again availed himself to you! Well, good, and may he prove of use. I'll hold my threat to freeze his oceans then, for now. DemeterAboutPrometheus01 Demeter (Demeter_0167): Prometheus stole fire from us not for mortalkind, but because he desired it for his own gain. What good is that power to him now, upon a mountain cold as ice? DemeterAboutPrometheus02 Demeter (Demeter_0212): I could snuff out the flames of that Prometheus... but in so doing, all of mortalkind would likely freeze. I am not yet prepared to go {#Emph}that {#Prev}far, though likely can be pushed. DemeterAboutPrometheus03 Demeter (Demeter_0226): This scheme that Chronos has devised to keep all of us occupied... even Prometheus remains a nuisance as before! Inform us right away if you suspect any deceit. DemeterAboutRain01 Demeter (Demeter_0046): That rainfall there may be of benefit to you; washing all the filth away, revealing new growth. Think you that Zeus himself brings the rain, or Poseidon? Take one more guess... DemeterAboutResources01 Demeter (Demeter_0047): The bounties of the Earth... life flourishes even there where you reside, amid all that death. Flowers, roots, herbs, and seeds; you know their hidden strength. I let them grow for you. DemeterAboutResources02 Demeter (Demeter_0048): You've picked an abundance of Moly flowers... unassuming little things, aren't they? Not unlike {#Emph}you{#Prev}, for they too hold power far beyond that suggested by their form. DemeterAboutResources03 Demeter (Demeter_0048): You have in your possession Mandrake Root? Its poison if not its scream can end a mortal's life, though you and your Witch of the Crossroads must have learned to tame those properties... DemeterAboutSayingLittle01 Demeter (Demeter_0236): Of late I feel increasingly at loss for words, flower. After all this toil... I may wilt from social graces for a while. Though you'll have my undying support for as long as you require. DemeterAboutSelene01 Demeter (Demeter_0053): There's a touch of moonlight about you, flower, as though Selene lights your way. Would that the Moon concerned herself with more than her path across the sky... DemeterAboutShrine01 Demeter (Demeter_0157): Such a foreboding night this is! The air is thick with the death and decay of your father's realm, and the desolation I have wrought. The pale Moon can scarce cut through... DemeterAboutSisters01 Demeter (Demeter_0042): Hera, Hestia, and I were far enough afield in disposition that we were not particularly close as sisters go. Although warring against Chronos has brought us {#Emph}somewhat {#Prev}closer, I suppose... DemeterAboutSnow01 Demeter (Demeter_0274): Do you see those tiny flecks that drift down from the heavens to the Earth? I call it snow, and it is beautiful but very cold. We gods ought to be like the snow ourselves. DemeterAboutSurface01 Demeter (Demeter_0044): My understanding was your line could scarce survive beyond the reaches of the Underworld. Yet there you are, traipsing about as though not bound by your father's fate. How can this be...? DemeterAboutSurface02 Demeter (Demeter_0043): You sprang forth from underneath that gloom unto our world's surface, have you, flower? If you mean to visit our mountain, merely follow the path of desolation leading straight to us... DemeterAboutSurfaceThreat01 Demeter (Demeter_0168): The very ground beneath our feet has started to shift, and it bodes ill, I think. What does blasted Chronos now intend to do, topple our entire mountain to the Earth? DemeterAboutTartarus01 Demeter (Demeter_0215): Your recent descent took you deeper than my deepest roots, close to where the Titan Chronos now resides... and holds your mother captive with the rest. Is there no way to inform us of what happened? DemeterAboutThessaly01 Demeter (Demeter_0052): Your uncle Poseidon created that watery chasm you see before you. I've half a mind to freeze it shut, though I fear our enemies shall cross it anyhow, and your voyage would only be more fraught. DemeterAboutThessaly02 Demeter (Demeter_0095): That Rift of Thessaly could easily be turned to ice, you know. I'd like to see the enemy's fleet sail across it {#Emph}then! {#Prev}But I am told we have to cool it with the cataclysms for a while... mortals and their {#Emph}begging. DemeterAboutTyphon01 Demeter (Demeter_0216): The incursion by that abhorrent monster Typhon... it is more than a threat, it is an {#Emph}insult! I {#Prev}control the seasons, yet he {#Emph}dares {#Prev}smother our mountain in his foul storm? DemeterAboutTyphon02 Demeter (Demeter_0217): If Chronos truly is behind the reawakening of Typhon, then he is not merely arrogant, but mad. He promises another Golden Age yet visits such a creature on this world? DemeterAboutTyphon03 Demeter (Demeter_0227): Snow falls gently on Olympus as before, but no trace of Typhon's foul storm remains... or of the {#Emph}rest {#Prev}of him. But you are able to confront him still somewhere beyond...? DemeterAboutTyphonDeath01 Demeter (Demeter_0220): Now the Titan Chronos is our solitary goal. Show him no more mercy than the monster he unleashed would have shown us. But be careful; I demand your safe return. DemeterAboutTyphonDeath02 Demeter (Demeter_0221): As much as I relished our victory over Typhon, to have finally met you meant the world to me, flower. Forgive that I am not known for my cheer, especially as of late. And may we see each other again. DemeterAboutTyphonW01 Demeter (Demeter_0218): Zeus says you substantially contributed to Typhon's defeat at our summit. Thank you for that, flower, but I regret I could not have been there to say so at our Palace grounds. Our enemies are numerous, and not letting up. DemeterAboutTyphonW02 Demeter (Demeter_0219): That monster Typhon apparently has not yet understood that neither he nor Chronos shall stop us. But we shall {#Emph}make {#Prev}him, and your presence here may be the difference we need. DemeterAboutUnderworld01 Demeter (Demeter_0225): A proper garden must be carefully maintained. So it shall be with your Underworld as I see it, flower. If there exists some lingering influence from Chronos, let us root it out. DemeterAboutZagreus01 Demeter (Demeter_0033): I miss your mother terribly, and your brother as well. He was my little sprout. Chronos must have ensnared him with the others in your father's House, the unforgivable wretch... DemeterAboutZagreus02 Demeter (Demeter_0280): Your brother Zagreus, why I suppose he's no longer my little sprout by now, grown as he has into a noble Underworld Prince. That you two finally know each other gladdens my old heart. DemeterAboutZeus01 Demeter (Demeter_0055): The great and crafty Zeus is aiding you directly, now? Then you truly must be one of our best remaining chances to thwart the Titan's plans... for Zeus is loath to ask for help, or offer it. DemeterBlindBox01 Demeter (Demeter_0084): I care very little for surprises, flower. And perhaps in that we are alike. Yet there exists a rare variety that's welcome... like a brisk breeze on an autumn eve. DemeterBlindBox02 Demeter (Demeter_0085): How humiliating, that even our Boons must be concealed... lest we risk revealing too much about our plans and defenses to our enemies. DemeterChat01 Demeter (Demeter_0003): Cold vengeance grows deep inside our hearts; let it flourish for a while. DemeterChat02 Demeter (Demeter_0004): I have slain Titans once or twice before; you get to do the honors now, it seems. DemeterChat03 Demeter (Demeter_0005): I shall not rest until your mother the Queen is restored to her rightful throne. DemeterChat04 Demeter (Demeter_0006): May Chronos shiver, knowing well his actions shall not go unpunished. DemeterChat05 Demeter (Demeter_0007): My blessings, Granddaughter. You're like a cool winter's breeze. DemeterChat06 Demeter (Demeter_0008): You have your mother's strength. Take mine as well. DemeterChat07 Demeter (Demeter_0009): Perhaps you feel the bitter cold even from there. DemeterChat08 Demeter (Demeter_0010): We are amid a dark season indeed, my granddaughter... DemeterChat09 Demeter (Demeter_0011): Desolation unto those who side with the Titans against us. DemeterChat10 Demeter (Demeter_0012): However I can aid in your pursuits, I shall, flower. DemeterChat11 Demeter (Demeter_0013): Can you feel the biting chill in the air, Granddaughter? It shall intensify for you. DemeterChat12 Demeter (Demeter_0014): So many traitors stand against us now, but soon they all shall lie in ruin and decay. DemeterChat13 Demeter (Demeter_0015): Through the seasons I bring life as well as death; which shall it be this time? DemeterChat14 Demeter (Demeter_0016): Even the ichor flowing through a Titan's veins can be made to run cold. DemeterChat15 Demeter (Demeter_0017): The days grow dark, though perhaps they shall take a turn for the better as yet... DemeterChat16 Demeter (Demeter_0018): For mortals, life is precious as it is fleeting. We goddesses can snuff it out so easily... DemeterChat17 Demeter (Demeter_0019): You grow ever-stronger, flower, and it warms my cold heart. DemeterChat18 Demeter (Demeter_0020): Let none stand between you and your ambitions, Granddaughter. DemeterChat19 Demeter (Demeter_0021): Death and decay to the enemies of Olympus. DemeterChat20 Demeter (Demeter_0022): Those who dare stand against Olympus shall be summarily destroyed. DemeterChat21 Demeter (Demeter_0023): Pride and wrath run deep within our family, Granddaughter. DemeterChat22 Demeter (Demeter_0024): It matters not that Chronos is our kin; there is no bond that cannot fray. DemeterChat23 Demeter (Demeter_0025): May you know times of peace as you grow long in years, but for right now... DemeterChat24 Demeter (Demeter_0026): Be as complete and as relentless as the winter's cold, Melinoë. DemeterChat25 Demeter (Demeter_0027): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, the ever-turning cycle of death and rebirth! Isn't it exquisite, in a way? DemeterChat26 Demeter (Demeter_0028): Would that the surface offered fairer climes, flower, but no; not yet. DemeterChat27 Demeter (Demeter_0029): Together let us see to it that Chronos reaps all that he has sown. DemeterChat28 Demeter (Demeter_0030): Grow strong and flourish like I know you can, Melinoë. DemeterChat29 Demeter (Demeter_0031): I think by now our foes are good and ripe for the harvesting. DemeterChat30 Demeter (Demeter_0032): Look what I picked just for you this eve, flower. DemeterChat31 Demeter (Demeter_0185): Tonight calls for inclement weather, so our enemies had better bundle up. DemeterChat32 Demeter (Demeter_0186): As you are my granddaughter, you are welcome to reap the benefits. DemeterChat33 Demeter (Demeter_0187): The Earth shall drink deep of the blood of our enemies; those that {#Emph}can {#Prev}bleed, at least. DemeterChat34 Demeter (Demeter_0188): It remains unseasonably cold up here, flower. But you seem not to mind. DemeterChat35 Demeter (Demeter_0189): I shall not hesitate to purge what warmth remains within the Earth, if that is what it takes. DemeterChat36 Demeter (Demeter_0251): None know better than I of just how cruel the turning of the seasons can be. DemeterChat37 Demeter (Demeter_0252): I shall drain all remaining life from whichever of our enemies have any of it left. DemeterChat38 Demeter (Demeter_0253): Even in the wake of such devastation as we have seen, life can survive, and regrow. DemeterChat39 Demeter (Demeter_0254): From the ashes of this war, may we yet flourish with sufficient time. DemeterChat40 Demeter (Demeter_0255): Time threatened to take everything away from us, but we held fast, and always shall. DemeterFirstPickUp Melinoe (Melinoe_0648): Headmistress told me so much about you, and now at last we meet. {#Emph}In the name of Hades! Olympus, I accept this message! Demeter (Demeter_0002): ...You look just like your mother. I'll not lose her again. I shall freeze hell in its entirety if that is what it takes to get her back. You'll help me, won't you, Granddaughter? DemeterGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0961): To think the goddess of seasons herself is my grandmother. I am honored to have made your acquaintance! Demeter (Demeter_0067): I see the Witch of the Crossroads taught you not just strength but grace! I hereby accept your offering, and have something for you as well. DemeterGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0962): Lady Demeter! I'm grateful for your strength. This is hardly fitting in exchange, but please accept it. Demeter (Demeter_0068): It seems there are such youth today as still can show my generation due respect. I am pleased my own granddaughter is such an example. DemeterGift03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1769): To the goddess whose power truly is the lifeblood of our world! It's by your grace that such an offering of Nectar may exist at all. Demeter (Demeter_0069): Why, flower, surely there are other matters weighing heavily upon you now, more so than honoring your elders in the customary way? Nevertheless, I'm grateful for this, truly. DemeterGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1770): Grandmother, we've so much making up to do for all the time we could have spent getting to know each other. I trust we'll do just that soon enough, though for right now, there's this. Demeter (Demeter_0070): It's strange... as much as I loved your mother, she never honored me thus. Perhaps I was too lenient with her, or perhaps your generation is merely more considerate of their predecessors. DemeterGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3726): I cannot begin to imagine all that you do for this world, Grandmother. All living creatures count on you and what the seasons bring. That you are able to make time for me amid all that is not something I'll ever take for granted. Demeter (Demeter_0164): I thank you for the offering, though I am usually left cold. From mortals lately, merely begging, cries for mercy, nothing more. {#Emph}Let my crops grow, Lady Demeter. Save my harvest, Lady Demeter! {#Prev}Insufferable... DemeterGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3727): Where I am from, we lacked for plenty, but we never truly lacked. And I know that's in small part because of you, Grandmother. My headmistress thinks so highly of you, and I could see why from the moment we met like this. Demeter (Demeter_0165): Perhaps I ought have far more gratitude, myself. I think so often of my pain and lack... how could I not? Yet I have you, this mountain home, and more. Would only that the burden of it all ever lightened. DemeterGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4167): A gift of Ambrosia for you, Grandmother! Perhaps this can liven things up, for there ought to be much cause for celebration in the coming times. But mostly I just wanted you to have it, for all the hope you gave me. Demeter (Demeter_0193): You say {#Emph}I {#Prev}gave {#Emph}you {#Prev}hope? I was intent on fighting the Titan no matter what. But having met you... I started to consider the possibility that we might prevail. Then I could see my daughter's gentle face, and {#Emph}her {#Prev}daughter's. I can think of no worthier cause. DemeterGift08 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4168): Grandmother, you've stood by me ever since we met, and I felt our bond from the start. May this Ambrosia commemorate not just our past but our future. For I feel I still have so much to learn about you, and learn from you. Demeter (Demeter_0194): I shall accept this, but no more. Know that your mother and I always had our struggles, flower. It was only once she lived her own life rather than my idea of it that our withered connection started to heal. May your and my relationship grow quickly past that point. DemeterGreeting.VoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_4252): Grandmother...! Demeter (Demeter_0195): Melinoë...! Demeter (Demeter_0199): Flower...! Demeter (Demeter_0202): Granddaughter. DemeterLegendaryPickUp01 Demeter (Demeter_0050): As the sapling struggles to grow, so too must we push ourselves to discover our truest potential. Behold my power over life and death; may you find yours. DemeterLegendaryPickUp02 Demeter (Demeter_0051): The seasons are a never-ending cycle of decay and renewal... though there are such times when the seasons assert themselves much more fiercely than usual; times such as {#Emph}now. DemeterLootBought01 Demeter (Demeter_0075): How shameful that we now resort to common subterfuge, having our correspondence smuggled to and fro by the erstwhile Boatman of the Dead. DemeterLootBought02 Demeter (Demeter_0076): The Titan's coin that you exchanged for this message... we shall find all of it, melt it down, and return the Gold whence it came. DemeterLootBought03 Demeter (Demeter_0082): If only you could see my fields in the morning sun... shining brighter than any Gold you shall ever find. Such metals ought remain within the Earth. DemeterLootBought04 Demeter (Demeter_0083): To be reduced to picking through such meager offerings! You ought have lived here in the glory of Olympus, where everything that you desire is at hand... for the most part. DemeterLowHealth01 Demeter (Demeter_0066): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, you're hurt! Your partly-mortal blood's to blame. And so am I, for having fallen into love with a mere farm-boy once... DemeterLowHealth02 Demeter (Demeter_0065): What happened, Granddaughter? May those wretches that hurt you thus suffer a thousandfold for what they have done. DemeterLowHealth03 Demeter (Demeter_0158): Injured already...! Know that the pains we suffer are the means by which we grow. And our enemies are about to grow a {#Emph}great deal. DemeterLowHealth04 Demeter (Demeter_0159): You spill your blood each night for our mistakes. I cannot cure your ailments from here, but I {#Emph}can {#Prev}make your enemies shatter to {#Emph}pieces{#Prev}, if that is of any comfort. DemeterMakeUp01 Demeter (Demeter_0079): I am not angry with you any longer, Granddaughter; merely a little disappointed at the moment... DemeterMakeUp02 Demeter (Demeter_0080): Oh, I cannot remain upset with you, flower. I would rather you look upon me kindly than with scorn. DemeterMakeUp03 Demeter (Demeter_0121): {#Emph} {#Prev}My mood's as foul as the weather as of late... apologies for the outburst, flower. DemeterMakeUp04 Demeter (Demeter_0122): You weathered the storm, though could have avoided it outright, of course... DemeterMakeUp05 Demeter (Demeter_0123): There need not be a strain between us, Granddaughter. Forgive me. I was rash. DemeterMakeUp06 Demeter (Demeter_0124): This family, and our blasted {#Emph}pride! {#Prev}These constant fights with our own kin! {#Emph}Feh. DemeterMakeUp07 Demeter (Demeter_0173): Your mother used to anger me in just this way, and look where {#Emph}that {#Prev}got her. DemeterMakeUp08 Demeter (Demeter_0174): Let us move on. Your provocation needn't have roused my ire to the extent that it did. DemeterMakeUp09 Demeter (Demeter_0175): No harm comes of a little fight. We {#Emph}ought {#Prev}to focus on the {#Emph}real {#Prev}fight, instead. DemeterMakeUp10 Demeter (Demeter_0176): I am not angry with you, Granddaughter; and I admit I acted out of turn. DemeterMakeUp11 Demeter (Demeter_0177): Oh, Melinoë, we mustn't fight! Not with each other, only side by side. DemeterMakeUp12 Demeter (Demeter_0178): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, I ought {#Emph}bury {#Prev}these impulses that drive me to act out of temper, not reason. DemeterPalaceAboutTyphonDeath01 Demeter (Demeter_0200): The storm has passed... that monster turned the weather such that not even Lord Zeus or I could stop it properly. But now he's gone, and we have you to thank. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4321): Thanks are owed all around, Grandmother. Typhon gave in to the combined might of the gods. I merely concentrated our fell strength. Now to press this advantage. Demeter (Demeter_0201): Perhaps not even Chronos can withstand what you unleashed. But be careful, Granddaughter. Make certain we shall meet again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4322): We will. DemeterPalaceFirstMeeting Demeter (Demeter_0196): Oh, flower, it's truly {#Emph}you! {#Prev}Forgive me, I... we must maintain decorum here, but... I am very pleased to see you here before me, rather than within the dimness of a Boon. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4318): Lady Demeter, the honor is mine. I know that everyone's preoccupied contending with the siege, and it couldn't have been easy for you to be here now. Demeter (Demeter_0197): Please, call me grandmother; although perhaps not here. I was furious to have missed you when you visited before, and was not about to let that reoccur. But you cannot stay can you...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4319): Unfortunately not. With Typhon dealt with for the moment, I had best be getting back. I'm so grateful to have met you like this! Shall I see you again? Demeter (Demeter_0198): If the Fates have any mercy in their hearts, then yes. DemeterPalacePostTrueEnding01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4323): We did it, Grandmother! You've fought so hard for me... for all of us. But, it must be difficult, to see Chronos again. Demeter (Demeter_0203): I shall not dignify him with so much as a passing glance, Melinoë. The Titan would have reached a different end were it for me to decide, but... I'm grateful that the outcome was not worse. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4324): From what I gathered, this may be farewell for a while. At least face-to-face! I'll still be seeing you most nights, if you'll be able to keep aiding me by Boon. Demeter (Demeter_0204): Of course. And there shall come a time again when your mother shall be visiting us half the year. Perhaps then you may come along, once every few seasons at least. Demeter (Demeter_0281): Oh, and here... to keep you warm. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5019): Grandmother, is this for me? Thank you... DemeterPalacePostTrueEnding01_B Melinoe (MelinoeField_4323): We did it, Grandmother! You've fought so hard for me... for all of us. But, it must be difficult, to see Chronos again. Demeter (Demeter_0203): I shall not dignify him with so much as a passing glance, Melinoë. The Titan would have reached a different end were it for me to decide, but... I'm grateful that the outcome was not worse. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4324): From what I gathered, this may be farewell for a while. At least face-to-face! I'll still be seeing you most nights, if you'll be able to keep aiding me by Boon. Demeter (Demeter_0204): Of course. And there shall come a time again when your mother shall be visiting us half the year. Perhaps then you may come along, once every few seasons at least. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4325): I would like that. DemeterPostEpilogue01 Demeter (Demeter_0233): The weavers of destiny have sprouted up from the Earth once again! And conveniently right after we quelled the Titan's uprising without {#Emph}them {#Prev}having to intervene. We never {#Emph}could {#Prev}depend on the Fates... DemeterPostEpilogue02 Demeter (Demeter_0234): When my sisters and I and your father and his brothers first slew Chronos long ago, it was an ugly victory, but ushered in an age in which Olympus ruled. Now it seems another age is nigh... and I have yet to see a perfect one. DemeterPostGift01 Demeter (Demeter_0235): At times I fear that I've grown cold and bitter, but this matter has been quite rejuvenating in a way... ever since meeting you. I had perhaps been dormant for too long. DemeterPostTrueEnding01 Demeter (Demeter_0222): What have you {#Emph}done? {#Prev}The Titan Chronos ought have been destroyed, not taken in. The rot is in his very soul and cannot be removed! But... my daughter, she sent word that she is well, and... {#Emph}oh{#Prev}, what am I to {#Emph}do {#Prev}with all of this... DemeterPostTrueEnding02 Demeter (Demeter_0192): Oh, Granddaughter... what would I have ever done if not for you. That this mountain yet stands is one thing, but then... you found your mother for the both of us. I cannot repay you... what love I have to give shall have to suffice. DemeterPostTrueEnding03 Demeter (Demeter_0223): I shall never forgive Chronos, nor do I wish to see his wretched countenance again. But if whatever spell you cast on him has truly withered his ambitions, then so be it. Perhaps there was no other way... DemeterRejection01 Demeter (Demeter_0077): You would spurn your own {#Emph}grandmother? {#Prev}Perhaps where you were raised, proper manners were not taught as a priority. DemeterRejection02 Demeter (Demeter_0078): Even amid such times, we gods and goddesses yet have our pride; you would be wiser next time not to hurt mine thus. DemeterRejection03 Demeter (Demeter_0111): You are a direct descendant of mine, and {#Emph}still {#Prev}you would spurn me like this? DemeterRejection04 Demeter (Demeter_0112): Such wrath I feel, Melinoë, that I have a great deal to spare, even for {#Emph}you. DemeterRejection05 Demeter (Demeter_0113): Had you grown up within your father's House, you would have learned {#Emph}respect. DemeterRejection06 Demeter (Demeter_0114): Understand that lately, I lack the patience for such antics, Granddaughter. DemeterRejection07 Demeter (Demeter_0115): Do not choose against me even in jest, Granddaughter; Apollo makes light, not I. DemeterRejection08 Demeter (Demeter_0116): So what if Hestia is {#Emph}technically {#Prev}my elder? She hardly gives Olympus her attention! DemeterRejection09 Demeter (Demeter_0169): You would forsake my blessing, even knowing it is sought after all the world over? DemeterRejection10 Demeter (Demeter_0170): I take no pride in what I am about to do, Melinoë. But how else shall you learn? DemeterRejection11 Demeter (Demeter_0171): If this was your attempt at humor, know that it was lost on me entirely. DemeterRejection12 Demeter (Demeter_0172): If you are wondering whether that icy chill you feel in the air is mine, {#Emph}it is. DemeterRunStart01 Demeter (Demeter_0073): As you begin your next attempt at the seemingly impossible, know that I shall be with you to the bitter end. In blessing form, at least. DemeterRunStart02 Demeter (Demeter_0074): Go forth on this next ordeal with my blessing, Granddaughter. I've a feeling it shall be a very cold night for our enemies... DemeterRunStart03 Demeter (Demeter_0161): Should this night take you all the way to hell and back, I still would gladly come along. But, this is the best that I can do from here. DemeterRunStart04 Demeter (Demeter_0162): The forecast for this evening calls for a sharp decline in temperature. Though you are well-accustomed to the cold by now, aren't you? DemeterSurfaceRunCleared01 Demeter (Demeter_0166): I thank you, flower, for you've thrown our enemies upon this mountain into turmoil. Even now they attempt to regroup, but with your continued effort, we may drive them back. DemeterUnderworldRunCleared01 Demeter (Demeter_0091): Granddaughter, where have you been? In the deepest reaches of your father's realm, perhaps! Striking at the very heart of our enemy. One can but hope. DemeterUpgrade.BlindBoxOpenedVoiceLines Demeter (Demeter_0133): Hello, flower!

DemeterUpgrade.UpgradeMenuOpenVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_0649): Grandmother... DemeterWithAphrodite01 Demeter (Demeter_0105): Aid from Olympus can take many different forms... as not all of us are suitably prepared or even {#Emph}built {#Prev}to face significant ordeals. Take, for instance, fairest Aphrodite over here... Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0149): Oh, Lady Demeter, you know that's {#Emph}patently {#Prev}untrue! I may be more a lover than a fighter, but that doesn't mean I won't mangle the faces of our foes, if that is what it takes to get them to {#Emph}back off! {#Prev}Now why don't we show your granddaughter how well we get along? DemeterWithApollo01 Demeter (Demeter_0103): You know, flower, how mortals seek to be like us? Yet in so doing, they take on our ignoble qualities. Perhaps it's Lord Apollo's fault, as the standard to which they aspire! Apollo (Apollo_0098): Did I offend somehow, good Lady Demeter? I know the times have been quite cruel, though why don't we direct that cruelty at our enemies, instead of heaping it upon each other here? DemeterWithAres01 Demeter (Demeter_0190): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, Ares. Not even our most-eager god of war can put an immediate stop to the troubles that our family is having to weather. Have you so little control of your domain? Ares (Ares_0163): We all but do our best, O Demeter. For my part, I ensure that wars are instigated when required, and that necessary outcomes are achieved. But I cannot precisely guarantee their duration or intensity, for violence is a force unto itself. DemeterWithHephaestus01 Demeter (Demeter_0107): Even {#Emph}I {#Prev}could use a bit of heat on some occasions, flower, which the forge of Hephaestus here provides. Perhaps as compensation for the utter lack of {#Emph}warmth {#Prev}between most members of our family. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0128): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, just {#Emph}listen {#Prev}to the Lady Demeter! Everybody on our mountaintop thinks they're {#Emph}so sharp{#Prev}, but {#Emph}this {#Prev}one? She is blunt like my hammer. And some jobs call for a blunt instrument, don't they? DemeterWithHera01 Demeter (Demeter_0101): Of late, even my radiant young sister must sully her delicate hands in all the field work that must be done. She is even beginning to take to it... aren't you, Hera our Queen? Hera (Hera_0108): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, Demeter. These hands have seen more than you know! I simply do not flaunt the hardships I've endured. One {#Emph}can {#Prev}be as strong as a rock, without taking on its texture. DemeterWithHestia01 Demeter (Demeter_0109): Your Great-Aunt Hestia is not exactly as she {#Emph}seems. {#Prev}In olden times, she was content merely to let her flames keep sputtering within the hearths of mortal homes. Admit to it, Sister: You've changed. Hestia (Hestia_0154): And you, Demeter, you've not changed at {#Emph}all! None {#Prev}of you have! It's why you're in a heap of {#Emph}trouble {#Prev}now, or {#Emph}we {#Prev}I ought to say. Good thing your grandkid's coming to our rescue! DemeterWithPoseidon01 Demeter (Demeter_0071): Granddaughter, Poseidon here has been regaling me about the time his seas drank half the land! {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, such a flood that was! Perhaps our strengths can be combined again... Poseidon (Poseidon_0185): Oh, there's no {#Emph}perhaps {#Prev}about it, Demeter! We'll weather this storm yet! I'd just as soon whip up another great big flood for old {#Emph}Time{#Prev}'s sake, it's just... too many mortals these days! DemeterWithZeus01 Demeter (Demeter_0099): When my sisters and my foster-brothers and I overthrew Chronos long ago, we were much closer to {#Emph}your {#Prev}age, flower. Now we are older, and one should think wiser... although our frequent bickering and inaction suggest otherwise. Zeus (Zeus_0158): We are a strong-willed family, as you know perfectly well, Lady Demeter. We must move forward in unison! Building that sort of consensus is not always quick; though we each could do our part to hasten it along. DestructibleMast.KillingEnemyVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1872): Avast!

A {#Emph}box of bottles of Ambrosia{#Prev}, that's just four of them at once. Technical term! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4481): So you don't just want {#Emph}one {#Prev}bottle of Ambrosia but {#Emph}four{#Prev}, and you don't want me to, say, give one bottle at a time...

Melinoe (MelinoeField_2899): Your special ways... so then you know a means to bypass their threat detection. Can you show me how? Dionysus (Dionysus_0194): Oh I can show you {#Emph}lots {#Prev}of things. Those clankers you're still on about, they're just like family! Sure, they fight sometimes, but they mean well.

Melinoe (MelinoeField_2971): Oh, you mean... my unusually greater height! It's due to a fleeting bit of magick from my companion, the enchantress called Circe. So the effect is rather noticeable, then? Dionysus (Dionysus_0181): I mean, {#Emph}yeah! {#Prev}Circe, huh, I know that name! Sounds like she knows a trick or two! Maybe she'll get an invite to the next one of {#Emph}these! DionysusAboutCirce01_B Dionysus (Dionysus_0182): Hey you look, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}did you shrink down or something, or... did I grow bigger all of a sudden, or... {#Emph}oh{#Prev}, my head... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3074): Oh, right... a reminder about my temporarily reduced stature. It's due to a bit of magick from my companion, the enchantress Circe. So the effect is rather noticeable, then? Dionysus (Dionysus_0181): I mean, {#Emph}yeah! {#Prev}Circe, huh, I know that name! Sounds like she knows a trick or two! Maybe she'll get an invite to the next one of {#Emph}these! DionysusAboutFeast01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0143): {#Emph}Heeey{#Prev}, look who decided to reconsider coming to our little gathering! Welcome back, Mel baby, now go on, you grab yourself a cup and mingle with the crowd! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2388): As tempting as that sounds, Lord Dionysus, unfortunately I don't think I can. There are various perils beyond, and your fellow Olympians can only do so much to hold them off. Dionysus (Dionysus_0144): And I feel bad for them, really! Almighty gods with limitless power having to fend for themselves. Good thing I can drown my sorrows here, and guess what? So can you! DionysusAboutFeast02 Dionysus (Dionysus_0145): You really are just passing through? Look at all these temptations in every form! The liquid kind, the sumptuous kind, {#Emph}mm! {#Prev}But you're unmoved and undeterred? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2389): Look, I would truly love to stay. Enjoy a beverage and a bite... speak with all these doubtless-interesting guests... but I can't. Don't you understand? Your mountain is burning! Dionysus (Dionysus_0146): Well if it's burning, baby, let it burn, I say! But I don't want to argue anymore, I mean, it's just another form of fighting, yeah? So you go do your thing, and I'll do mine! DionysusAboutFeast03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2391): Lord Dionysus, just how long have you been feasting, anyhow? Here in this spot, I mean. Night after night, you're going at it like there's no tomorrow. Dionysus (Dionysus_0149): Mel baby, just call me Dionysus if you please, the Lord thing doesn't suit me, yeah? As for how long we've carried on like this, I've no idea! A while probably. Might be a new record! {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}Sure you don't want to join? DionysusAboutFeast04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2393): What if you couldn't feast any longer? Imagine something so dire that it forced you to put a stop to this way of life. Brought ruin to everything you hold dear! Dionysus (Dionysus_0150): I know what you're trying to do, baby, and it isn't going to work. I've tuned out {#Emph}every {#Prev}bit of negativity, including yours! And since I'm a good host, I'm {#Emph}still {#Prev}going to give you {#Emph}this. DionysusAboutFeast05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2394): What's the occasion for the feasting, anyway? I fail to see what cause there is to celebrate right now. Dionysus (Dionysus_0151): Don't you get it, baby? Every moment that we live and breathe is more than cause enough! Maybe you're into feeling bad, I don't know, but me? I'm into feeling {#Emph}good! DionysusAboutFeast06 Dionysus (Dionysus_0183): Hey glad you could make it! I know there's a lot going on, but what's it all for if you can't kick back once in a while, yeah? So {#Emph}ease up {#Prev}a bit, you're {#Emph}here! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2972): I'm just passing through. Though, I truly appreciate your hospitality. Perhaps if and when all this is finally resolved, I can kick back, as you say. Dionysus (Dionysus_0184): Oh I'll hold you to that, if I can remember you said it! For now though cheers to your success and all, and may your warring wrap up peaceably and soon! DionysusAboutFrogFamiliar01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0172): What's that with you, some sort of {#Emph}frog? {#Prev}Well sure, since frogs and me, we go way back! The only rule is there's no swimming in the spring or guests might get a little {#Emph}eugh! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2911): That's Frinos, and don't worry, not that you ever do. He won't disturb the peace, and avoids most others anyway. Thank you for permitting him here... and me, for that matter. Dionysus (Dionysus_0173): Oh absolutely, it's the sort of feast where if you can get in at all, it means you're probably all right! Your frog there too, long as he doesn't sing! He doesn't sing, does he...? DionysusAboutHoundFamiliar01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0189): Mel, baby, I {#Emph}insist {#Prev}you introduce me to your dog there {#Emph}right {#Prev}away! I've not seen such a {#Emph}gorgeous {#Prev}breed since last I traveled west! I used to travel all around, you know. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2975): Dionysus, please meet Hecuba, who's in my care for now, and always on her best behavior as you'll see. Your journeys must have been amazing... seeing the world... Dionysus (Dionysus_0190): Oh that they were but now I'm here where it's amazing too! Things never stay the same for very long, got to enjoy them while they last. Nothing lasts forever! Except us! DionysusAboutKeepsake01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0170): That Fig Leaf that you're carrying... it's from my {#Emph}private wardrobe! {#Prev}So how come you have it and not me? What, did I just hand it over as a gift? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2901): You did exactly that, yes. I offered you a bottle of Nectar, and you gave me this Leaf in exchange. Don't you recall? Dionysus (Dionysus_0171): Don't I recall... {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, sometimes! But not always, not so much of late! Well if past-me thought he should give you such a thing, he must have had a real good feeling for you, yeah? DionysusAboutMortals01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0174): You're not from around here, so how fare the mortals as of late? You've surely seen a few of them along your path. It's been a little while since I heard from them! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2912): They've been better! Most probably are praying to our family for peace, since Chronos flung open the Underworld's gates, leaving the dead to roam the land. Dionysus (Dionysus_0175): Which means that mortals get to spend more time with long-lost relatives of theirs! Come on, stay {#Emph}positive{#Prev}, Mel baby! That's how mortals get by! It'll be all right! DionysusAboutOlympians01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0147): Not told my Dad about this little gathering of ours, have you? Because we wouldn't want to have to pack it up and find some other secret spot. It's perfect here! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2390): I think Lord Zeus has far more urgent matters to consider than your never-ending feast, which I daresay would be even better if the legions of Chronos weren't about. The rest of the Olympians don't even know that this is going on? Dionysus (Dionysus_0148): Right you are, baby! For this is an {#Emph}exclusive {#Prev}gathering only for guests I {#Emph}know {#Prev}are going to be cool. Which can't explain how {#Emph}you {#Prev}keep stumbling upon it, but hey! Details, right? DionysusAboutPrometheus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2902): Have you had any run-ins with Prometheus? Since Chronos wouldn't dare show his face on this mountain, he must have sent this lackey of his to keep all of Olympus occupied. Dionysus (Dionysus_0164): {#Emph}Prometheus{#Prev}, he's {#Emph}back?! {#Prev}I must be out of the loop. Thought he was still strapped to some mountainside, getting his innards gnawed at by an Eagle, something nasty of the sort! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2903): That did supposedly occur. But he is definitely back, personally leading the vanguard trying to tear Olympus apart. If he prevails... no more feasting. Dionysus (Dionysus_0165): {#Emph}Hahahaha{#Prev}, come on, baby, it can't be {#Emph}all {#Prev}that bad! What's he going to do, cook our food with the flame he took from Dad? Tell you what, next time you see him, tell him to stop by! DionysusAboutPrometheus02 Dionysus (Dionysus_0166): So did you have a chat with old Prometheus on my behalf or what? I'd go on over and invite him here myself, but I'm the host, {#Emph}heh! {#Prev}It wouldn't do for me to slip away, would it? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2904): Of all the things for you to vividly recall. You truly wanted me to direct one of our most bitter foes {#Emph}here{#Prev}, to a feast not even your closest family members know about? Dionysus (Dionysus_0167): I mean... {#Emph}yeah, heh! {#Prev}We gods can be so stubborn and stuck up, waving our weapons at each other when we ought to wave an olive branch instead! Now you go tell that hothead that we're saving him a spot! DionysusAboutPrometheus03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2905): I felt quite foolish, but did ask Prometheus on your behalf if he'd attend this feast. He already knew what I was going to say, being the Titan of Foresight and all. He sensed no ill motive... and took it for a fiendish trap for that very reason. Dionysus (Dionysus_0168): And he's supposed to be one of the wiser ones? What made you all so {#Emph}cynical{#Prev}, baby? You don't trust anyone or any{#Emph}thing! {#Prev}No wonder everything is all screwed up out there! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2906): So you {#Emph}do {#Prev}know things are dire! I thought you weren't paying any attention, burying your head in the sand and tuning out whatever you've no wish to hear. Dionysus (Dionysus_0169): You got it half right. See, I don't like to worry about the things I can't control! {#Emph}Wine{#Prev}, I can control. The quality of this feast, I {#Emph}can {#Prev}control! But all the in-fighting? {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}Plenty of other gods who specialize in {#Emph}that. DionysusAboutRavenFamiliar01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0187): {#Emph}Whoa {#Prev}who's the {#Emph}bird{#Prev}, and I don't mean {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Mel baby! That raven flew in here, all skittish-looking, like it's seen a ghost! Do ravens drink? Might take the edge off just a bit. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2974): My raven Raki can become a little nervous around strangers... or just about anything, really. I don't think he cares for wine, although this atmosphere may do him good. Dionysus (Dionysus_0188): Might do {#Emph}you {#Prev}some good too, you know. Your pets are welcome here, since we're all animals deep down, know what I mean? DionysusAboutSatyrs01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2910): I must admit I'm unaccustomed to seeing Satyrs that make no attempt to skewer me on sight. Old friends of yours? Dionysus (Dionysus_0163): Oh yeah, all these old goats and I, we go {#Emph}way {#Prev}back! Proper Satyrs that love a proper good time. As for everything else, they just don't pay it any mind. And neither do I! DionysusAboutSprings01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0159): Sure you don't want to join us for a soak in the spring? It's cold out, yeah, but not in there! Forge of Hephaestus pumping in {#Emph}just {#Prev}the right amount of heat! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2907): We have a spring like this where I reside! It's very comfortable... except, I really shouldn't bathe right now. For a variety of reasons. Dionysus (Dionysus_0160): And yet you keep on showing up! Come {#Emph}on {#Prev}Mel baby, you want in, no need to be shy, we're friends here, {#Emph}all {#Prev}of us! Some {#Emph}more {#Prev}than friends even! {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}All in due time I guess? DionysusAboutTravels01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2908): My headmistress was a wanderer like you. She taught me something of your journeys and travails. You've crossed the world... met many different beings! Yet you'd rather be here, like this? Dionysus (Dionysus_0161): {#Emph}Haha, oh {#Prev}absolutely, {#Emph}yes! {#Prev}I mean just look around you, {#Emph}everybody's {#Prev}beautiful, the weather's perfect, and we're fully stocked! What, you think I'd rather be out for a stroll? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2909): No, I... merely thought a life of travel might have made your disposition somewhat different! I don't know... more introspective? More solitary, perhaps. Dionysus (Dionysus_0162): You're still young, baby! If you'd seen all I'd seen then you'd appreciate the finer things the same as me. No forcing it! You'll get there, maybe once all of this is over with! DionysusAboutTyphon01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2976): Have you any idea why this mountain has been shaking ceaselessly, doubtless to the occasional dismay of your honored guests? Dionysus (Dionysus_0178): Yes I do! Sometimes the feasting gets a little rowdy, if you know what I mean, with all the dancing and whatnot! Uncle Poseidon's not the {#Emph}only {#Prev}Earth-Shaker on Olympus! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2977): No. {#Emph}Typhon {#Prev}has awakened! The Father of All Monsters now threatens your own father's palace. You can ignore Chronos somehow, fine. Prometheus, perhaps. But not this. Dionysus (Dionysus_0179): {#Emph}Oh no! Typhon's out there, come to ruin everything! Whatever will we do?! Hahaha{#Prev}, see that, baby? Nobody {#Emph}cares! {#Prev}Whatever happens, happens! And we're gonna feast until it does, no matter what! Nice try with that one, though. DionysusAboutZagreus01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0154): What did you say happened to Zag, everything good with him still, yeah? You ought to bring him next you come this way, oh he'd be {#Emph}into {#Prev}it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2398): I previously mentioned Chronos, our Titan grandfather who's relentlessly attacking this mountain, holds the members of my immediate family captive; Zagreus included. So he can't make it to the feast right now. Dionysus (Dionysus_0155): {#Emph}Ah {#Prev}that's too bad, though maybe later, yeah? I've always felt a bond with him, a real connection, so if you see the Zag man, let him know he's welcome to my feast here {#Emph}anytime! DionysusAboutZagreus02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2399): Sounds as though you and my brother Zagreus were fairly close. What was he like? Seeing as I have no real memory of him, since Chronos took him back when I was very small. Dionysus (Dionysus_0156): You know I haven't heard from him in quite a while, yeah? {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, come to think of it, we never really talked too much, although I sent him lots of Boons! How is he anyway? DionysusAboutZagreus03 Dionysus (Dionysus_0262): How is the Zag man lately anyway, is everything all right with him? Stopped sending him my Boons a while back... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4492): Well now that Zagreus is freed from temporal imprisonment, along with my mother, father, and the House of Hades staff, I think he's doing very well! I'm certain he'd be pleased to hear from you. Dionysus (Dionysus_0263): Well that is a relief as I thought maybe I offended in some way! He could have gone and cut me off, but he did not. DionysusChat01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0006): Things are happening all over but this is the only happening place on {#Emph}this {#Prev}mountain, baby. DionysusChat02 Dionysus (Dionysus_0007): Just one drink isn't going to hurt! It's going to do the {#Emph}opposite{#Prev}, you'll see! DionysusChat03 Dionysus (Dionysus_0008): Can't stay and hang out, you got places to go, people to see, I get it, baby! DionysusChat04 Dionysus (Dionysus_0009): You look like you're having a night! And wouldn't you know it, so am {#Emph}I! DionysusChat05 Dionysus (Dionysus_0010): Been going for a while here, baby, and we plan to {#Emph}keep {#Prev}going till all this is over! DionysusChat06 Dionysus (Dionysus_0011): Come on now, relax and have a drink, {#Emph}mingle {#Prev}a bit, this is a {#Emph}feast{#Prev}, you know! DionysusChat07 Dionysus (Dionysus_0012): Remember, don't go telling Dad about this little gathering of ours, all right? DionysusChat08 Dionysus (Dionysus_0013): You're always welcome here but not your worries, baby, you leave those behind! DionysusChat09 Dionysus (Dionysus_0014): Hey, pull yourself together, baby, we're just getting started! DionysusChat10 Dionysus (Dionysus_0015): Sure you don't want to take a quick dip in the spring? It'll warm you right up! DionysusChat11 Dionysus (Dionysus_0016): This mountain isn't going anywhere, and neither are we! DionysusChat12 Dionysus (Dionysus_0017): Come all this way and can't even hang out, that's just not right, baby! DionysusChat13 Dionysus (Dionysus_0018): If you're sick of all the fighting, I've got {#Emph}just {#Prev}the thing for you! DionysusChat14 Dionysus (Dionysus_0019): The water's nice and warm, but if you don't want to take a dip, it's cool! DionysusChat15 Dionysus (Dionysus_0020): I'd ask you tell the fam I told them cheers but that might get a little awkward, yeah? DionysusChat16 Dionysus (Dionysus_0021): Leave your worries at the gate and have yourself a cup of something, {#Emph}here! DionysusChat17 Dionysus (Dionysus_0022): Know that all of us are with you {#Emph}all {#Prev}the way, so cheers to your success! DionysusChat18 Dionysus (Dionysus_0023): Take it from me, there is {#Emph}never {#Prev}a bad time for a good feast! DionysusChat19 Dionysus (Dionysus_0024): Wait wait wait weren't you just here? It's all a blur for me! DionysusChat20 Dionysus (Dionysus_0025): No use fighting the inevitable when you're thirsty, yeah? DionysusChat21 Dionysus (Dionysus_0026): Take a load off, relax, have a drink and all that! The night's still young! DionysusChat22 Dionysus (Dionysus_0027): Well don't just stand there, eat! Drink! Whatever you fancy! DionysusChat23 Dionysus (Dionysus_0028): The moon is shining, the water's warm, the Nectar's flowing, what is not to like? DionysusChat24 Dionysus (Dionysus_0029): You keep on showing up but never stick around, quit {#Emph}teasing {#Prev}us, baby! DionysusChat25 Dionysus (Dionysus_0030): Hey Mel baby, you're bringing down the mood a bit looking like that, you get me, yeah? DionysusChat26 Dionysus (Dionysus_0031): Oh you missed a {#Emph}real {#Prev}good time last night... or might have been the night before... DionysusFirstMeeting Dionysus (Dionysus_0002): Now who is {#Emph}this{#Prev}, what sort of Nymph do we have here? Not from the waters nor the woods, but wait wait {#Emph}wait! {#Prev}Those {#Emph}eyes! {#Prev}Zag, man, is that {#Emph}you?! {#Prev}You've {#Emph}changed! {#Prev}I like it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2386): Lord Dionysus, I presume? I'm Melinoë, sister to Zagreus. I've come to the mountain's aid at the family's behest! But, what is the meaning of this festivity? Aren't you at war? Dionysus (Dionysus_0003): {#Emph}Ohhh, Mel{#Prev}, right, the others mentioned you. {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, listen baby, I'm into {#Emph}lots {#Prev}of different things, but war just isn't one of them. What's the use, we gods can't die! But we can {#Emph}live! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2387): Your mountain is under siege. Chronos took my side of the family, and soon he may take yours! Dionysus (Dionysus_0004): All the more reason to raise a cup while we still can, yeah? {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}Though I get it! Not your thing. But why not have a little pick-me-up for the road ahead? DionysusFirstMeeting_B Dionysus (Dionysus_0002): Now who is {#Emph}this{#Prev}, what sort of Nymph do we have here? Not from the waters nor the woods, but wait wait {#Emph}wait! {#Prev}Those {#Emph}eyes! {#Prev}Zag, man, is that {#Emph}you?! {#Prev}You've {#Emph}changed! {#Prev}I like it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4329): Lord Dionysus, I presume? I'm Melinoë, sister to Zagreus. I've been coming to the mountain's aid at the family's behest. Why all the festivity? The end of the war? Dionysus (Dionysus_0003): {#Emph}Ohhh, Mel{#Prev}, right, the others mentioned you. {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, listen baby, I'm into {#Emph}lots {#Prev}of different things, but war just isn't one of them. What's the use, we gods can't die! But we can {#Emph}live! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4330): I said the {#Emph}end {#Prev}of the war. Though I suppose your mountain technically still is under siege. Dionysus (Dionysus_0004): All the more reason to raise a cup while we still can, yeah? {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}Though I get it! Not your thing. But why not have a little pick-me-up for the road ahead? DionysusGift01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2395): I... don't wish to be just some ungrateful guest. I know you have your customs here, and I have studied them. So, please! For all your cheer and generosity! Dionysus (Dionysus_0152): Whoa, this is Nectar, it's the real thing, we could use every drop that we can get! Then here is something for my most distinguished guests, of which I have decided {#Emph}you are one! DionysusGift02 Dionysus (Dionysus_0153): Hey, {#Emph}nice{#Prev}, more Nectar always good to have around in case the wine runs out, not that it ever does or ever will! Now, what exactly do we toast to next? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2397): To emerging from peril unscathed? Or whatever you decide. I know maintaining high morale is paramount, especially with the mountain under siege. Dionysus (Dionysus_0085): Cheers! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0067): Cheers. DionysusGift03 Dionysus (Dionysus_0176): Hey, sure, I'll take that Nectar off your hands! As this here's {#Emph}just {#Prev}the place to put it to its proper use. But don't you get all sad and sappy with me, you're at a {#Emph}feast{#Prev}, not at a wake! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2913): I must admit, I'm unable to cast aside my fears and worries quite like you, Dionysus. It's little wonder mortals make so many offerings in your name... as now do I. DionysusGift04 Dionysus (Dionysus_0177): Now that's the spirit, giving back to the community, I {#Emph}like {#Prev}it, yeah? After all, you know I can't make cheer and revelry for everyone all by myself, don't you? Though between us, I still can make an {#Emph}awful {#Prev}lot. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2914): Such cheer and revelry that you've created, seemingly out of thin air... and during such a time. Well, if this truly is to be a never-ending feast, then you'll need plenty of supplies! DionysusGift05 Dionysus (Dionysus_0232): Hey this is {#Emph}great{#Prev}, there's not an entrance fee or anything, but tips are always welcome as our Nectar's running {#Emph}dangerously low. {#Prev}Got any more to spare? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4477): Oh, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, looks to me as if you've all had quite enough for now. But if I happen on a surplus... I'll bring more. Dionysus (Dionysus_0233): You better, {#Emph}hahahaha! DionysusGift06 Dionysus (Dionysus_0234): All right, now that's exactly what we need, and ought to last till, what, tomorrow night at least? You've got my thanks and more, Mel baby! Who's your supplier, might I ask? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4478): I've no single Nectar source I rely on; I know a Broker who tends to have some, and at other times I find a bottle here and there. Has it truly been that difficult to find? Dionysus (Dionysus_0235): Oh this stuff's not impossible to get most of the time, we just go through a lot is all! And now my guests are pining for Ambrosia more and more. Happen to have a box of that? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4479): A box? You mean a bottle. Dionysus (Dionysus_0236): A {#Emph}box {#Prev}of bottles! {#Emph}Good {#Prev}ones! DionysusGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4482): Here you are, then, Dionysus! One box of good bottles of Ambrosia. May this help keep things festive for your guests for quite some time... at least till next I happen to stop in... Dionysus (Dionysus_0241): Mel, {#Emph}baby{#Prev}, I could {#Emph}kiss {#Prev}you, did you really bring all this for {#Emph}us?! {#Prev}This is exactly what we needed, I mean... how'd you even {#Emph}know? {#Prev}Can you read minds? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4483): ...You previously asked if I had access to Ambrosia, but... I cannot yet read minds most of the time. That is a very advanced skill. Dionysus (Dionysus_0242): Oh come {#Emph}on {#Prev}you can probably read everything that's going on in {#Emph}mine! {#Prev}And mostly you'll be reading gratitude. I thought you were a little stiff at first but you're all right! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4484): That means a lot coming from you. Dionysus (Dionysus_0243): ...Say what? DionysusLowHealth01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0157): Mel baby, you look like hell if you don't mind me saying, I mean what did you fall down the mountainside on your way here? Care to wash up? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2896): Please pardon my disheveled state. I had to cross a doomed city of the risen dead, infiltrate an enemy armada, and climb halfway to the Palace of Zeus to get here. Dionysus (Dionysus_0158): No excuses! Now either get out of that positively ripe dress you've got on and make like all my other guests, or move along! We enforce a strict code of attire. DionysusPostEpilogue01 Dionysus (Dionysus_0264): Been hearing wild tales from outside, can you back any of it up, baby? Something about the {#Emph}dawning of another age? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4493): A recent prophecy from the Three Fates. They have foreseen a distant time when mortals won't be as beholden to the gods... perhaps that shall be cause for a real feast. Dionysus (Dionysus_0265): {#Emph}You're {#Prev}thinking maybe all the other gods will end up feasting {#Emph}here! {#Prev}Then we'll have better things to do than pushing mortalkind around. And it'll be a {#Emph}prophecy fulfilled! DionysusPostTrueEnding01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4486): I think you should be able to come out now, as the greatest threats facing your mountain are gone for the most part. Well, granted there are vicious Satyrs out there still. Dionysus (Dionysus_0255): Hey, easy with the Satyr talk, it really isn't cool! You think my Satyr friends here ever talk that way about us gods? And what do you mean, {#Emph}greatest threats? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4487): Typhon, the Father of All Monsters; Chronos, the Titan of Time; the former utterly destroyed, the latter pacified. The war is {#Emph}over! {#Prev}Olympus is secure! Dionysus (Dionysus_0256): The war is {#Emph}over?! {#Prev}Hear that everybody, the war is {#Emph}over! {#Prev}If that's not cause for celebration, I don't know what is, so grab a {#Emph}drink{#Prev}, take a {#Emph}dip{#Prev}, shake your {#Emph}hips{#Prev}, you know it, {#Emph}yeah! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4488): You won't be leaving here will you. Dionysus (Dionysus_0257): No way, baby! DionysusPostTrueEnding02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4489): Dionysus, won't you at least notify your family members that you're well? Some of them must be concerned for you. Dionysus (Dionysus_0258): I'm sure I'll get around to it one of these nights, baby, but we're still celebrating your success, {#Emph}you won the war! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4490): I did not personally win the war. We stood together as a family and prevailed. I merely did my part. Dionysus (Dionysus_0259): And I am doing {#Emph}my {#Prev}part right now! The others know I'm going to be fine, I just need a little space what with all the excitement... a little space with all these {#Emph}fabulous guests! DionysusPostTrueEnding03 Dionysus (Dionysus_0260): Hey, wait wait wait, hold on, if you're not jesting that whatever war was on is over, then how come you keep showing up to get these battle-ready Boons from me? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4491): ...Suffice it to say there are still battles to be won. But I'll spare you the details, for the sake of your sanity and mine. Dionysus (Dionysus_0261): Well cheers I've not much sanity to spare! Sounds like you'll be around, you've got the special pass, so stop by anytime! DoorHealReserveKeepsake.EquipVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_3182): The Onion. Dora (DoraKeepsake_0610): {#Emph}Mel! Dora (DoraKeepsake_0611): {#Emph}Witch! DoraAboutChronos01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0416): Dora, don't you pay any attention to what's been happening out there? The rise of the Titan of Time? The siege of Olympus? Dora (Dora_0057): Nope. Can't say any of that rings a bell. Olympus, that's where the family members you {#Emph}don't {#Prev}like live, right? And the Titan of Time, I {#Emph}get {#Prev}that he's bad, but he's never done anything to me personally, as far as I know, so... Melinoe (Melinoe_0417): This entire encampment exists to resist his efforts to overthrow the gods and rule the world? Dora (Dora_0058): Well then! Maybe I should thank him because I happen to like this encampment. Melinoe (Melinoe_0418): Oh shush! DoraAboutChronosBossW01 Dora (Dora_0292): {#Emph}Whoa{#Prev}, hold on, what's going on with you? Never seen you so excited in my life. Death. Whatever. What, did you discover a new species of root vegetable or something? Melinoe (Melinoe_3378): Dora, I found him... Chronos... and I {#Emph}beat {#Prev}him! Withstood every trick he had, until he yielded and expired. Dora (Dora_0293): Oh, {#Emph}nice! {#Prev}So then it's {#Emph}over{#Prev}, right? Or what...? Melinoe (Melinoe_3379): Well, no, he isn't {#Emph}dead... {#Prev}I mean, he isn't {#Emph}gone{#Prev}. Not yet. I have to go... all right? Dora (Dora_0294): Yeah. All good. DoraAboutChronosBossW02 Dora (Dora_0340): {#Emph}You think that you achieved a victory, witch? You merely prolonged your demise. For the Titan whom you vanquished possesses but the smallest fraction of my power! Melinoe (Melinoe_3722): So you heard! I'm surprised and humbled that you deigned to pay my meager accomplishments any heed, O Spirit. How did you know? Dora (Dora_0341): {#Emph}I am all-knowing! {#Prev}Also the Shades out there were going off about it. Some of them are right outside the tent, told 'em can't come in, but they're still out there I think... Melinoe (Melinoe_3723): Thank you for keeping them at bay. DoraAboutCompanions01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0435): Have you ever even spoken with Commander Schelemeus, Dora? Or Odysseus? We have these great masters on our side, who know so much of history. So much they can teach us. Dora (Dora_0154): History? That what they call it nowadays? Well, I don't have big plans to go to war with the rest of you anytime soon, though if I change my mind, I'll probably check in with those guys. Melinoe (Melinoe_0436): They're good people! DoraAboutCosmetics01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2021): The renewal project's off to a fine start! How are you managing with all the new responsibility? Dora (Dora_0172): {#Emph}Uh {#Prev}OK, I guess! Sometimes I think I'd rather not be doing anything... but, I get that somebody's got to do this stuff, and it's not like any of {#Emph}those {#Prev}slackers out there are gonna do it. Melinoe (Melinoe_2022): The other Shades have their own duties. The work needn't be onerous, it can be fulfilling! Helping others, having a sense of purpose... Dora (Dora_0173): My {#Emph}purpose{#Prev}, Mel, is only to hang out. DoraAboutCosmetics02 Dora (Dora_0310): I know what you're up to with all this decoration stuff you've got me doing, Mel. What, you think I'm about to find my true calling in death just by updating some old light fixtures? Melinoe (Melinoe_3697): You already found your calling, as the best haunter in all the Crossroads, if not the entire world. The renewal project is simply a way to give something back to this place. Dora (Dora_0311): Maybe... but I'd make a lousy haunter if my existence wasn't utterly devoid of meaning. So don't let me catch you trying to help me find some purpose... 'cause I don't want any. Melinoe (Melinoe_3698): Perish the thought. DoraAboutCosmetics03 Dora (Dora_0307): Sometimes I hardly recognize this place... the tent, I mean. Just {#Emph}look {#Prev}at all this stuff! It's practically a palace now. Melinoe (Melinoe_3695): I never thought I'd want to live in a palace. Though when you put it that way, I have second thoughts. Are all the latest decorative touches to your liking? Dora (Dora_0308): More stuff to mess with means more haunting opportunities, so yeah! I think it's fine. It's {#Emph}you {#Prev}I'm worried about... not quite as {#Emph}neat {#Prev}and {#Emph}sparse {#Prev}in here as it used to be... Melinoe (Melinoe_3696): We could always neaten it up again. Dora (Dora_0309): Please no... DoraAboutCosmetics04 Dora (Dora_0612): You know, back when you got me on your whole {#Emph}Renewal Project {#Prev}thing... I knew what you were up to, Mel. Nothing like a bunch of busywork to make you stop thinking about the pointlessness of your existence, right? Melinoe (Melinoe_4681): I never saw it as a bunch of busywork. Look at how much we've been able to accomplish here! This place is flourishing, the other Shades seem energized... you had a lot to do with that! Dora (Dora_0613): You really think so...? What I was going to say is, at some point the busywork started to kind of grow on me. It stopped feeling pointless, even if it is. Melinoe (Melinoe_4682): If it doesn't {#Emph}feel {#Prev}pointless, it isn't. Dora (Dora_0614): I don't know. Maybe. DoraAboutCosmetics05 Dora (Dora_0649): You got every last one of those Chthonic Chid figures, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}Never took you for the sort to hoard a bunch of useless stuff. Melinoe (Melinoe_5470): They are {#Emph}not {#Prev}useless! I {#Emph}enjoyed {#Prev}collecting them all, and have them neatly organized. And they'll likely grow even more valuable with time! Dora (Dora_0650): What, you planning to sell 'em for {#Emph}profit? {#Prev}I don't see who's gonna take them off your hands! But... I wasn't trying to be mean. I think it's cute you got a bunch of children's toys. Melinoe (Melinoe_5471): They're not suitable for children! Dora (Dora_0652): {#Emph}Mm-hmm. DoraAboutExisting01 Dora (Dora_0039): {#Emph}Ahh {#Prev}hey Mel, I was just... floating! Floating around, I guess. And existing! Just kind of existing a lot lately. You? Melinoe (Melinoe_0409): Failing. Making progress, I don't know. Speaking of, shouldn't you be practicing your haunting, Dora? Dora (Dora_0040): Oh! Yeah, no, I thought maybe I'd take a break from that. Why do now what you could do later, right? Melinoe (Melinoe_0410): For the sense of accomplishment? Dora (Dora_0041): {#Emph}Pffsh! DoraAboutFields01 Dora (Dora_0295): {#Emph}Oof{#Prev}, you look rough, if we're being honest, Mel. Want to talk about it, or at least tell me the juicy bits because I'm bored? Melinoe (Melinoe_3380): Last night I visited the Mourning Fields, and... being surrounded by that much despair... I think I must have brought some of it home. Dora (Dora_0296): Well why don't I just {#Emph}scare it out of you, you wretched worm? Melinoe (Melinoe_3381): Hey, that worked! Dora (Dora_0297): I know, right? DoraAboutFrinos01 Dora (Dora_0303): You know you can tell me anything, Mel. I won't judge! Well... maybe a little more than the other small green squishy thing you bare your soul to every night, but still. Melinoe (Melinoe_3692): I never made that particular connection between you and Frinos before. I speak to him about my setbacks and mistakes... but I'm happy to save some for you if you like! Dora (Dora_0304): Yep, just lay 'em on me! And the bigger the screw-up, the more I want to know {#Emph}every juicy detail. Melinoe (Melinoe_3693): I appreciate your service. DoraAboutHaunting01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0411): What would you do if you had the tent all to yourself anyway, Dora? You could invite all the other Shades and absolutely trash the place, I suppose... Dora (Dora_0042): Wh, what, you mean {#Emph}share {#Prev}it? Mel, {#Emph}not sharing {#Prev}the tent is the entire point, a proper haunting has a one-to-one ratio between the haun{#Emph}ted {#Prev}and the haun{#Emph}tee{#Prev}. Even {#Emph}I {#Prev}haven't forgotten the basics. Melinoe (Melinoe_0412): I can't imagine all you want to do is float around in here, minus the part where we get to speak. Dora (Dora_0043): Then you simply lack imagination, friend! Melinoe (Melinoe_0413): {#Emph}Heh. DoraAboutHaunting02 Dora (Dora_0187): {#Emph}Everlasting pain and suffering upon you, witch! You trespass on my hallowed ground. Your cries for mercy shall drown in your throat! Melinoe (Melinoe_2019): Please! Forgive my careless indiscretion, madam-spirit, I beg of you! I intended no offense... Dora (Dora_0188): {#Emph}Ho-hoh, wow! {#Prev}You're really into this stuff, huh? Melinoe (Melinoe_2020): Oh, come on! DoraAboutHaunting03 Dora (Dora_0314): What would you say is the most frightening thing you've encountered out there lately, Mel? It's important for someone in my position to keep up with the latest on this front. Melinoe (Melinoe_3701): Well... I'd have to go with the raging infernal beast guarding the only viable way into Tartarus. Absolutely massive, countless sharp fangs, three fire-spitting maws... though he's also my family's dog. Dora (Dora_0315): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, you had me going! Well if you're telling me there's nothing scarier out there than a pet dog... it means I've got no competition! Time to rest on these laurels some more. Melinoe (Melinoe_3702): Please make yourself comfortable. Dora (Dora_0316): {#Emph}All that you see is my domain. DoraAboutHaunting04 Dora (Dora_0336): {#Emph}You, who ventured into my abode, shall suffer an eternity of torment for what you have done! Unless, of course, you are prepared to grant my dying wish... Melinoe (Melinoe_3719): Forgive my insolence, Spirit, and name your price! I am prepared to do your bidding! Within reason, anyway. Dora (Dora_0337): {#Emph}Then swear to me that you shall do my bidding, now! Specifically... {#Prev}I haven't worked out the dying-wish part yet. Ask you to fetch my lover's bones, something like that? Melinoe (Melinoe_3720): Just keep me posted. DoraAboutHaunting05 Dora (Dora_0338): {#Emph}Stand forth, witch! Beyond these thrice-cursed grounds lies only death. Are you prepared to relinquish your own life's blood for that which you seek? Or shall you turn back? Melinoe (Melinoe_3721): If I turn back, it's basically a dead end, Spirit. Sounds like I face a dead end either way! I have to check with some of the others, so... Dora (Dora_0339): {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}Go for it, then. DoraAboutHecate01 Dora (Dora_0051): Hey, the head witch isn't busting your chops too bad, is she? What with you coming back here pretty often lately and all. Melinoe (Melinoe_0428): I know Headmistress can be very demanding. I'm sure she hopes I would have encountered more success by now, but... she's been nothing but patient. Dora (Dora_0052): Really? Well I hope {#Emph}that {#Prev}sticks! DoraAboutHeracles01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2027): Do you remember the name {#Emph}Heracles? {#Prev}The greatest half-god hero of the surface, slayer of the Nemean Lion, and so on? Dora (Dora_0194): Nah, not really. But I hear the other Shades go {#Emph}on {#Prev}and {#Emph}on {#Prev}about him every now and then. Why do you ask? Melinoe (Melinoe_2028): I encountered him. He's as big as they say, that much is sure. He has such a storied past, I thought maybe you'd recall one of the tales. Dora (Dora_0195): Well, you thought wrong, my friend. DoraAboutHypnos01 Dora (Dora_0157): Get any sleep at least while you're zonked out back there? {#Emph}Huh{#Prev}, can't even wrap my head around what it must be like for you. Sleeping? They... they say it's like being dead, right? But I'm dead, and I'm always awake. Melinoe (Melinoe_0070): I think the only one getting good sleep of late is Hypnos, himself. Still hasn't even stirred, no matter what Headmistress has tried. Dora (Dora_0056): Lucky him. DoraAboutIcarusRelationship01 Dora (Dora_0615): Hey, {#Emph}uh{#Prev}, you and that guy, one with the wings, what was his name? Thought he was long {#Emph}dead{#Prev}, though when {#Emph}I {#Prev}saw him here with you, he seemed, shall we say, very much alive? How'd he do that? Melinoe (Melinoe_4683): You mean Icarus, and did you... were you eavesdropping on what very clearly was a private moment between longtime acquaintances? I thought you were elsewhere! Dora (Dora_0616): Oh, no, I was just over {#Emph}there. {#Prev}Didn't want to interrupt. So did you bring him back using a necromantic ritual, or what? Melinoe (Melinoe_4684): That's entirely my private business, thanks! Dora (Dora_0617): Trust me you have {#Emph}nothing {#Prev}to be ashamed of. DoraAboutKeepsake01 Dora (Dora_0305): Hey, how's the old Ghost Onion working out? Figured you'd make better use of something that helps keep you alive than I can at this point... also it's kind of gross. Melinoe (Melinoe_3694): It's been very helpful, thank you, Dora. Though your Onion means I'm staying out longer than usual most nights, while you're here on your own... Dora (Dora_0306): I see everything is proceeding as planned... DoraAboutMemories01 Dora (Dora_0577): ...I remember everything... about why I {#Emph}forgot {#Prev}everything... {#Emph}I {#Prev}did something pretty bad, Mel. Melinoe (Melinoe_4654): Whatever it was, you don't have to tell me, unless of course you wish to in which case I'm listening. Dora (Dora_0578): ...Yeah, the thing is I just kind of ruined everything, for everyone. For everyone who's mortal anyway. Melinoe (Melinoe_4655): What are you talking about? That couldn't possibly be true! Dora (Dora_0579): Well, imagine there was once this big storage jar, right? Like you'd keep pickles in, except the gods loaded it full of everything that could possibly go wrong. Hate, heartbreak, hair loss, halitosis... you name it. Melinoe (Melinoe_4656): I'm not following. Why would all mortal vices and failings be placed within this particular jar? It sounds like you may be thinking of some sort of figurative representation. Dora (Dora_0580): No it was a real jar with all that stuff, and I... well, I'm still shaky on the details. Let's chat about it more some other time, I'm beat. Melinoe (Melinoe_4657): Whatever you like... DoraAboutMemories02 Dora (Dora_0581): ...That jar I mentioned, filled with all the {#Emph}bad {#Prev}stuff? {#Emph}I {#Prev}opened it. Wanted to know what was inside! And it went {#Emph}whoosh... {#Prev}I let {#Emph}just {#Prev}about everything out, into the world. Into our lives. Melinoe (Melinoe_4658): What? Why would you have done a thing like that? How did you even come across this jar? Dora (Dora_0582): It was a wedding gift, from the Olympians. Prometheus, whom I remember now, {#Emph}interesting {#Prev}guy, he had a hunky brother and we sort of hit it off... Melinoe (Melinoe_4659): So the gods wanted you to have a jar full of terrible things. That seems an odd sort of present to give to... who even {#Emph}were {#Prev}you? Dora (Dora_0583): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, just some woman! But there weren't too many of us then, and I don't think the gods {#Emph}liked {#Prev}Prometheus much? So anyway the next time any mortal stubs their toe, pays taxes, gets the sweats, anything like that... it's on me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4660): Even if what you say is true, you make it sound as though you'd no intention to do it. So it's not your fault. Dora (Dora_0584): The thing is I {#Emph}did {#Prev}do it, so it {#Emph}is {#Prev}my fault... I'm gonna go. Melinoe (Melinoe_4661_B): Dora...! DoraAboutMemories03 Dora (Dora_0585): ...So, yeah, I guess I cursed all mortalkind a while back. So what if I {#Emph}didn't mean it? {#Prev}Intent doesn't matter. Melinoe (Melinoe_4662): Intent absolutely matters. So then you drank from the River Lethe to rid yourself of the memory of what transpired, to try and rid yourself of the guilt? Dora (Dora_0586): ...Pretty much. But you want to know the one thing I didn't let out of the jar? It was Hope. I was scrambling, and locked it in. The one thing I {#Emph}should {#Prev}have set loose, I didn't. Melinoe (Melinoe_4663): I'm not so certain. We experience Hope all the time, gods and mortals alike. If you had set it loose... perhaps it would have been smothered by all the other forces, and then what? Dora (Dora_0587): Then mortals wouldn't be quite so delusional maybe? Anyway... I think I want to be alone now for a bit. Thanks for talking through it with me, Mel. And making me remember. Melinoe (Melinoe_4664): Are you going to be all right? Dora (Dora_0588): Yeah... probably. DoraAboutMemories04 Melinoe (Melinoe_4665): Dora, I just can't believe the gods set you up to curse all mortalkind... is there any possibility your memory's at fault? Dora (Dora_0589): ...I guess? But I remember pretty clearly now, even if it was a long while ago. Though the other thing is, don't all you gods go through most of this stuff yourselves? I mean, you don't die like mortals, but... you get the other bad things... Melinoe (Melinoe_4666): Well, certainly not all of it, but most. So then... perhaps this jar was merely some means of bringing mortals and gods closer together...? To reality, such as we know it. Dora (Dora_0590): Sounds kind of like the Hope that I left in the jar talking, Mel. You don't think the gods were just... getting back at Prometheus, his brother, and his gorgeous wife? Melinoe (Melinoe_4667): Perhaps, but... what would they possibly gain from doing such a monstrous thing? Dora (Dora_0591): Gods can be jerks sometimes. Like mortals, but stronger. DoraAboutMemories05 Dora (Dora_0592): You haven't told anyone about me and the {#Emph}jar{#Prev}, have you? I'd rather keep it between us. Glad I remember now, but... wouldn't want the attention from the details getting out... Melinoe (Melinoe_4668): I've spoken only to Prometheus of it, for he had knowledge of the circumstances from before. But I won't tell another soul. Dora (Dora_0593): Good. Maybe, eventually, I'll go tell everyone myself if I really want to mess with 'em? And even if not, this {#Emph}has {#Prev}given me a {#Emph}ton {#Prev}of new material for my hauntings! It's scary stuff. Melinoe (Melinoe_4669): Please don't make light of it, Dora. But confronting your past is better than erasing it, I think. For that, you're very brave. Dora (Dora_0594): {#Emph}And you are very foolish! Leave me be. DoraAboutMemoryQuest01 Dora (Dora_0620): Hey, wanted to tell you, thanks for bringing back all of my terrible old memories I tried desperately to erase... I'm serious! I'd rather chew on 'em than spit 'em out. Melinoe (Melinoe_4687): As far as I'm concerned, that was your choice more so than mine. I wanted to support you as a friend. We both knew what you would discover had potential to be painful. Dora (Dora_0621): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, I don't know about {#Emph}painful. {#Prev}That's one of the good things about being a Shade! No more pain! Some rotten thoughts about the way things {#Emph}were{#Prev}, sure... maybe some of those. Melinoe (Melinoe_4688): I do count that as pain. It's not the same as being struck full-force by Nemesis, but it can hurt more deeply, and the healing process can take longer, by a lot. Though, do you remember more than just the painful memories, at least? Dora (Dora_0622): I guess so, but the other stuff's just not as interesting, you know? Anyway it's all just history. This is me now. Melinoe (Melinoe_4689): I'm glad. DoraAboutMemorySpell01 Dora (Dora_0334): Any luck making some magick that'll jog my memory, or what? No pressure, I can wait, but... thought I'd ask! Melinoe (Melinoe_3718): Incantations involving memory and the past require great care, so it's not something we are going to rush into. And if you have any second thoughts, you tell me right away. Dora (Dora_0335): Don't worry so much, Mel! DoraAboutMoros01 Dora (Dora_0176): So, what's the deal with the horned guy, anyway? Saw him and Nemesis chatting like they were an item, or something. It was weird. Melinoe (Melinoe_1826): They're siblings, Dora. The horned one is Lord Moros, emissary of the Three Fates. Our distinguished guest, and a valuable ally. Dora (Dora_0177): Yeah! Looks like we really put him up in style... DoraAboutMoros02 Dora (Dora_0178): Wait, so the horned guy over there... {#Emph}he's {#Prev}the one who shows up whenever some mere mortal is about to {#Emph}die {#Prev}in some horrific, unexpected way? Melinoe (Melinoe_2029): Well, yes. He ensures the will of the Three Fates is done. But don't misjudge him for it, and there's no need to be afraid of him, either. Dora (Dora_0179): Are you kidding? I think that's awesome, I... I wonder if he saw {#Emph}me {#Prev}die! Maybe I got crushed by a boulder! Struck by lightning! {#Emph} {#Prev}Murdered by my own lover...! Could you introduce us? Melinoe (Melinoe_2030): {#Emph}Erm... {#Prev}sure? DoraAboutMoros03 Dora (Dora_0185): Saw you chatting up Horns again! Yeah, he's a bit of a stiff, but I guess he's not so bad. Think maybe I {#Emph}met {#Prev}him before, back when I died... Melinoe (Melinoe_2023): Oh I doubt it. You'd remember having met someone like that. And he'd remember you as well! Though, you have been dead a while... Dora (Dora_0186): Yeah. Maybe I was one of his first jobs. Just an innocent young woman, doomed to a cruel inevitable future she never deserved... Melinoe (Melinoe_2024): OK, Dora. DoraAboutNemesis01 Dora (Dora_0053): Hey if you showed up just a bit sooner, you could have heard Nemesis complaining up a storm again! Melinoe (Melinoe_1602): Best not mock Retribution Incarnate if you know what's good for you. She and Headmistress have been at each other's throats... Dora (Dora_0054): You know I could, like, {#Emph}possess {#Prev}her for you, right? Just kind of... swoop in there, rattle around in her head a little bit, make her do some {#Emph}bad {#Prev}stuff... {#Emph} embarrassing {#Prev}stuff! Just for a little while, I mean. If I got caught in there... Melinoe (Melinoe_0069): Dora, don't... DoraAboutNightmares01 Dora (Dora_0164): Whoa, what gives there, Mel? Y-you look like you've seen a... {#Emph}ungh{#Prev}, I don't know, but... whatever it was it got under your skin. {#Emph} Oh! {#Prev}Skin seems nice! Melinoe (Melinoe_2015): I'm all right, just a little shaken. First nightmare since all this started. Dora (Dora_0165): About time, you were past due. Oh, how scary would you say it was, compared to, {#Emph}um, the terrifying visage that you see before you now? Melinoe (Melinoe_2016): Not even close. DoraAboutNightmares02 Dora (Dora_0166): Wonder if I ever used to have nightmares... so, so you can just... {#Emph}imagine {#Prev}yourself in these {#Emph}completely {#Prev}different {#Emph}horrible {#Prev}situations? Melinoe (Melinoe_2017): Yes. And sometimes I'm not even there, which can make them even more unsettling. Though they don't trouble me as much anymore... Dora (Dora_0167): Well... at least you've got {#Emph}me. DoraAboutOceanus01 Dora (Dora_0155): Hey, you're up. You were out a while. See anything good down there that time? Melinoe (Melinoe_0437): I fought past Erebus, down into Oceanus. It was so strange, being underneath the sea. Do you remember the sea, Dora? Dora (Dora_0156): The sea... the sea, the sea, the sea, {#Emph}that's {#Prev}the thing with all the {#Emph}water {#Prev}in it, {#Emph}right? {#Prev}Heard it's nice {#Emph}sometimes! {#Prev}Also {#Emph}kills {#Prev}a bunch of people, death by drowning, so — I've been getting mixed messages, I guess. Melinoe (Melinoe_0438): It's a big place... DoraAboutOlympus01 Dora (Dora_0317): I try {#Emph}not {#Prev}to listen to what the Shades out there are warbling about, but they make it sound like lately you've been through some pretty hairy times? Melinoe (Melinoe_3703): It's hard to know exactly what they're referring to, but... I've managed to reach Mount Olympus, for one thing. Never thought I'd see it. The fighting there is very fierce... Dora (Dora_0318): {#Emph}Olympus... {#Prev}where the other members of your family have all been hanging out! What are they fighting over now? Melinoe (Melinoe_3704): Their reign over the heavens and the Earth, and the continued existence of their home. Dora (Dora_0319): Oh! That's nothing new. DoraAboutOutside01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2032): It's been nice to see you out and about a little more often lately, not just cooped up in here. How are you managing? Dora (Dora_0174): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, I'm managing. Those other Shades don't know the first thing about haunting, and it turns out they've got the dirt on {#Emph}everybody {#Prev}here... including {#Emph}you. Melinoe (Melinoe_2033): Comforting to know the brunt of our resistance is enjoying themselves a good bit of gossip. Dora (Dora_0175): {#Emph}Ohh {#Prev}yeah. DoraAboutPackagedBounties01 Dora (Dora_0287): Hey, what happened, you look weird or something, I don't know. Weren't out too long. Took someone to the woods...? Melinoe (Melinoe_3373): No, Dora, though I don't think I can sufficiently explain. You know the Pitch-Black Stone? Turns out it can... do things. Dora (Dora_0288): The purple rock can {#Emph}do things{#Prev}, you say. Know what? I don't even {#Emph}want {#Prev}to know the rest, just gonna let my imagination take over for you, thanks. Melinoe (Melinoe_3374): Anytime? DoraAboutPainting01 Dora (Dora_0289): You've been staring at that picture more and more. {#Emph}Happy family! {#Prev}Well it's starting to get to me, because I think it's starting to get to {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Don't get all misty on me, Mel. Melinoe (Melinoe_3376): Thank you, Dora. Though you needn't worry. I won't get lost in memories because there isn't much for me to remember. I just wonder what my brother and my birthparents were like. Dora (Dora_0290): {#Emph}Uh-huh! {#Prev}Sounds awful lot like dwelling on the past to me. Nothing you could have done! Hey... you could be doing nothing right {#Emph}now. Melinoe (Melinoe_3377): I'll give it some thought. Dora (Dora_0291): Or don't! DoraAboutPrometheus01 Dora (Dora_0320): So hold on, how is it you're going after the Titan of Time way down below, but he's also attacking Olympus way up top? Is he two separate guys or just the one? Melinoe (Melinoe_3705): Chronos isn't attacking Olympus personally, Dora. He's just sending his legions there. He has a dangerous commander leading the assault... a different Titan called Prometheus. Dora (Dora_0321): A different Titan called... Prometheus...? {#Emph}Prometheus... {#Prev}huh... Melinoe (Melinoe_3706): Yes, the Titan of Foresight. Even you probably know the tale of his punishment for stealing from the gods. Dora (Dora_0322): No, it's... I think... {#Emph}ah{#Prev}, don't worry about it. See you later Mel! Melinoe (Melinoe_3707): You sure...? Dora (Dora_0323): {#Emph}Prometheus... hrm... DoraAboutPrometheus01_B Dora (Dora_0320): So hold on, how is it you're going after the Titan of Time way down below, but he's also attacking Olympus way up top? Is he two separate guys or just the one? Melinoe (Melinoe_5192): Well it's not really him I'm going after anymore. But in any case, Chronos appointed someone else to lead the assault on Olympus... a different Titan called Prometheus. Dora (Dora_0321): A different Titan called... Prometheus...? {#Emph}Prometheus... {#Prev}huh... Melinoe (Melinoe_3706): Yes, the Titan of Foresight. Even you probably know the tale of his punishment for stealing from the gods. Dora (Dora_0322): No, it's... I think... {#Emph}ah{#Prev}, don't worry about it. See you later Mel! Melinoe (Melinoe_3707): You sure...? Dora (Dora_0323): {#Emph}Prometheus... hrm... DoraAboutPrometheus02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3708): Hey is everything all right with you, Dora? I didn't mean to upset you with talks of Titans when last we spoke. Dora (Dora_0325): {#Emph}Ahh {#Prev}I'm good, Mel. I don't get mad much anymore really, and don't get weirded out either, it's just... something about the name {#Emph}Prometheus? {#Prev}It's like... it meant something to me...? Melinoe (Melinoe_3709): But, Prometheus was imprisoned for aeons prior to this point. If you remember him... it's from a while back. Dora (Dora_0326): I'd be ancient history! But, I hardly remember yesterday, don't know how come I'd remember something from that long ago. Not that I {#Emph}do {#Prev}remember anything from then... except... Melinoe (Melinoe_3710): ...Except what? Dora (Dora_0327): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, just a feeling... but, it isn't great. DoraAboutPrometheus03 Melinoe (Melinoe_3711): Dora, I hope you don't mind, but I asked Prometheus himself about this old connection that you feel. He's cagey with his words, but does seem to remember you, in turn. Dora (Dora_0328): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}Kind of weird of you to do that especially since it sounds like he's trying to kill your family up there, but thanks! What'd he say? Melinoe (Melinoe_3712): Well, he said... he's not to blame for mortalkind's failings and such, and that... neither are you. And asked I tell you so, on his behalf. Before attacking me per usual, of course. Dora (Dora_0329): {#Emph}Whew, that's {#Prev}a relief! All this time, I figured if there's any two individuals responsible for all the badness mortals have to deal with, it's {#Emph}Prometheus and me! {#Prev}We're talking stomach aches, heartaches, taxation, lying, cheating... you name it. Melinoe (Melinoe_3713): It's utter nonsense, but... do you have any idea what he could have meant? Dora (Dora_0330): Nope! But since you're the one who's talking to him on the regular, maybe you could ask. Now that we're curious. Melinoe (Melinoe_3714): ...We'll figure this out. DoraAboutPrometheus04 Melinoe (Melinoe_3715): Prometheus refuses to elaborate about your past with him, Dora. But he believes you're going to remember soon enough. My worry is... you're better off not knowing. Dora (Dora_0331): And, what makes you say that? Besides the part where I've already told you I get a not-great feeling just from sounding out his name? {#Emph}Prometheus... eugh{#Prev}, yeah! There it is! Melinoe (Melinoe_3716): He gave me the impression you forgot about him, and much more, by choice. If that's true, perhaps it's for the best. If only for the sake of your past self. Dora (Dora_0332): Forget my {#Emph}past {#Prev}self, Mel, my {#Emph}current {#Prev}self is pretty caught up now in getting to the bottom of all this! Isn't there some sort of {#Emph}witch-spell {#Prev}you could do to jog my memory, or something? Melinoe (Melinoe_3717): Well... now that I know of this specific connection you seem to have, it's something to work with. But, are you absolutely sure it's what you want? Dora (Dora_0333): Oh yeah! It's gonna be something {#Emph}good... Melinoe (Melinoe_2093): I'll take your word for it... DoraAboutReturning01 Dora (Dora_0002): Mel! Thought I finally had the place to myself, then next I know, you're back. Damn near scared me to life. Rough night again? Melinoe (Melinoe_0011): Rough night, Dora. Fear not, you'll have the tent to yourself yet! See you. Dora (Dora_0003): Yeah, you too. DoraAboutReturning02 Dora (Dora_0189): You know, it's kind of spooky how you never come in through the front flap anymore. Ever think of taking up haunting, yourself? Melinoe (Melinoe_1827): Oh, yes! I figure if none of this works out, the lot of us can wander the earth, striking fear into the hearts of any mortals who dare look upon us. Dora (Dora_0190): {#Emph} {#Prev}Now we're talking... DoraAboutReturning03 Dora (Dora_0191): {#Emph}Whew! {#Prev}Thought you'd never snap out of it. You OK? Melinoe (Melinoe_2018): Yes, thank you, Dora. I hope I didn't cause you any concern. Have you been by my side here all this time? Dora (Dora_0192): What, me? No. Just out for a breather. Melinoe (Melinoe_2819): But you don't even breathe... Dora (Dora_0152): Cut it out...! DoraAboutShades01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0429): Don't you have friends among the other Shades, Dora? You could join them for some activity out there. It's picked up a lot of late. Dora (Dora_0059): {#Emph}Foolish witch! {#Prev}Haunting this tent is a full-time obsession. We lesser Shades can be a little single-minded! I guess kind of like mortals. Melinoe (Melinoe_0430): Not just mortals... DoraAboutShades02 Dora (Dora_0044): How'd you get all those other Shades out there to do the busywork around here, anyway? They practically worship the ground you walk on. Melinoe (Melinoe_0433): Headmistress took them in. I helped train and communicate with them. Many came from being trapped between the realms. Some never got a proper burial. Others died unfulfilled, or violently. They never made it to the Underworld. Dora (Dora_0045): {#Emph}Oof{#Prev}... that's rough. Say, you don't think {#Emph}I {#Prev}fall into one of those categories, there, do you? I'd hate to think I didn't get a {#Emph}proper burial{#Prev}. Melinoe (Melinoe_0434): It's not a laughing matter, Dora. DoraAboutShades03 Dora (Dora_0168): Getting crowded out there! More Shades, guy with the horns. I don't like it, Mel! Not one bit. Melinoe (Melinoe_1824): As we grow in numbers, we grow in strength. What's your concern with that? Dora (Dora_0169): Don't like to share. Except this tent, I don't mind sharing it with you! Most of the time. Melinoe (Melinoe_1825): I'm honored. DoraAboutShades04 Melinoe (Melinoe_2034): Dora! {#Emph}Wow! {#Prev}What brings you all the way out here? The taverna's just about the last place I expected to find you. Dora (Dora_0196_B): {#Emph}Um{#Prev}, way to make me feel incredibly self-conscious, thanks, Mel! But, yeah I'm, I'm trying to put myself out there a bit more, I guess...! Melinoe (Melinoe_2035): Well I think that's great. Though, I know how difficult it is. I used to never be able to approach others, but I kept doing it, and... it's easier now. Dora (Dora_0197): Easier, but... never {#Emph}easy{#Prev}, right? {#Emph}Ehh{#Prev}, don't know why I bother... most of these Shades are pretty boring. Melinoe (Melinoe_2036): They haven't met {#Emph}you {#Prev}yet! DoraAboutShades04_B Melinoe (Melinoe_2034): Dora! {#Emph}Wow! {#Prev}What brings you all the way out here? The taverna's just about the last place I expected to find you. Dora (Dora_0196): {#Emph}Um{#Prev}, way to make me feel incredibly self-conscious, thanks, Mel! But, yeah I'm, I'm trying to put myself out there a bit more, I guess...! Now that you've saddled me with my big important task. Melinoe (Melinoe_2035): Well I think that's great. Though, I know how difficult it is. I used to never be able to approach others, but I kept doing it, and... it's easier now. Dora (Dora_0197): Easier, but... never {#Emph}easy{#Prev}, right? {#Emph}Ehh{#Prev}, don't know why I bother... most of these Shades are pretty boring. Melinoe (Melinoe_2036): They haven't met {#Emph}you {#Prev}yet! DoraAboutSkelly01 Dora (Dora_0198): Hey Mel! The good {#Emph}Commander {#Prev}there has offered to train me as one of his {#Emph}disciples. {#Prev}It's a big decision, so I'm kind of mulling it over... Melinoe (Melinoe_2025): I've learned so much from him, Dora. Headmistress taught me my craft. But Commander Schelemeus taught me... {#Emph}erm... Dora (Dora_0199): How to beat up an old man...? Melinoe (Melinoe_2026): No! DoraAboutStatues01 Dora (Dora_0618): Hey meant to ask you, {#Emph}what {#Prev}is with those statues in the training grounds? Are those supposed to be you, {#Emph}because... {#Prev}well... they're a lot {#Emph}bigger {#Prev}than you... Melinoe (Melinoe_4685): ...Statues sometimes portray their subjects in an unnaturally flattering or dramatic light! But in any case, I earned the title of Night's Champion, and... those were my reward. Dora (Dora_0619): ...I'll never look at you the same way again! I {#Emph}really {#Prev}like the one with the huge axe. Melinoe (Melinoe_4686): Oh {#Emph}do {#Prev}you? DoraAboutSurface01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0431): You must remember something of life on the surface, right, Dora? Anything at all? I wonder what it must have been like. Dora (Dora_0060): I {#Emph}don't {#Prev}remember, and I {#Emph}don't {#Prev}wonder! Who cares? {#Emph}This {#Prev}is the life, right here. Melinoe (Melinoe_0432): {#Emph} DoraAboutSurface02 Dora (Dora_0342): Hey, you were talking in your sleep a little bit. Not that I paid too close attention, but... where were you last night, anyway? You seem a little off. Melinoe (Melinoe_3724): Oh, just... I was up there, on the surface. I never thought I'd see it for myself, and now I'm there night after night. It's cold, damp... overrun with the dead. Dora (Dora_0343): You're really selling me on the whole thing. If it's that bad, how come you keep on going over there? I'd just stay here if I were you... or me. Melinoe (Melinoe_3725): You don't understand. I have to go that way. It's part of my task. Well, not officially, but... look I won't bore you with the details. I should go. Dora (Dora_0344): Have fun being all cold and damp. DoraAboutTask01 Dora (Dora_0037): Ever think maybe we're just not cut out for this, Mel? Me with the haunting, you with the... what're you trying to do, again? Melinoe (Melinoe_0408): {#Emph}Find the Titan of Time. Punish him for his crimes against my family. Restore the rightful ruler of the Underworld.... {#Prev}Hey, you're cut out for haunting, Dora! Dora (Dora_0038): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, thanks! Just like I'm sure you're cut out for all that other stuff. DoraAboutTask02 Dora (Dora_0312): So what do you even do when you're out, collect more plants and stuff like that? You used to stay in all the time. Melinoe (Melinoe_3699): Dora, I was training in secrecy all that time! While I'm out each night, mostly I have to fight my way to Chronos... past a variety of things that don't like having me around. Dora (Dora_0313): Can't imagine why. And you just keep trying to do the same thing, huh. I would've given up so long ago! You should try it. Giving up. Melinoe (Melinoe_3700): No thank you. DoraAboutTent01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3375): Dora, couldn't help but notice that my jar collection wasn't sorted properly. Are you trying to subtly drive me mad? Dora (Dora_0158): No.... Although, now that you put it that way, maybe in the future, {#Emph}yes{#Prev}. I was working on minor possessions and your mushroom bottle kind of slipped. So I put it back! Melinoe (Melinoe_0964): You put it {#Emph}incorrectly {#Prev}back. I... {#Emph}augh{#Prev}. Just tell me of such things next time, would you? Dora (Dora_0159): Maybe I will, maybe I won't. DoraAboutTent02 Dora (Dora_0160): You know, Mel, you can be a bit uptight sometimes. Where'd you even get that from? Even the head witch is more relaxed than you. Melinoe (Melinoe_1820): Look I'm under a lot of pressure right now, all right? Everybody's counting on me to literally {#Emph}kill Time... {#Prev}so I would like this tent to be an orderly place! Seeing as I'm having to return so often... Dora (Dora_0161): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, so what? Killing time's my specialty, don't see {#Emph}me {#Prev}gettin' all worked up. Melinoe (Melinoe_1821): {#Emph}Ungh... DoraAboutTent03 Melinoe (Melinoe_1822): Dora, I was thinking... if I promise not to be so {#Emph}uptight{#Prev}, as you call it... would you promise not to move my belongings about when I'm away? Dora (Dora_0162): {#Emph}How dare you make demands of me, you insignificant fleck? Mmm{#Prev}, nope, no deal. Want to be uptight, go ahead, don't stop on my account. Melinoe (Melinoe_1823): You just want to keep messing with my stuff! Dora (Dora_0163): {#Emph}Mmm{#Prev}, that's right. DoraAboutThessaly01 Dora (Dora_0298): Hey where've you been? You {#Emph}smell! {#Prev}Not in a bad way necessarily, and I don't know how I {#Emph}can {#Prev}smell, or remember any smell, so... that is weird. Melinoe (Melinoe_3382): I was up top. Must be the sea air and the salt, distinct from Oceanus down below. I sailed across the waters, toward Olympus, on a ship! Dora (Dora_0299): Exciting! I was right here the whole time. DoraAboutTyphon01 Dora (Dora_0496): So, how's it going on Olympus recently? Or wherever you were last night. See anything good up there besides the snow? Not sure how come I know about snow... Melinoe (Melinoe_4419): I made it all the way to the summit, where I confronted the ancient monster called {#Emph}Typhon. {#Prev}It's said that all other monsters can be traced directly to him... but, he's by far the biggest and the worst I've ever seen. Dora (Dora_0497): Mel, {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}the one who's supposed to scare {#Emph}you{#Prev}, not the other way around. So, did you beat this guy, or what? Melinoe (Melinoe_4421): {#Emph}Erm... {#Prev}not quite. But I intend to. Dora (Dora_0499): Well let me know if I can help! DoraAboutTyphon01_B Dora (Dora_0496): So, how's it going on Olympus recently? Or wherever you were last night. See anything good up there besides the snow? Not sure how come I know about snow... Melinoe (Melinoe_4419): I made it all the way to the summit, where I confronted the ancient monster called {#Emph}Typhon. {#Prev}It's said that all other monsters can be traced directly to him... but, he's by far the biggest and the worst I've ever seen. Dora (Dora_0497): Mel, {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}the one who's supposed to scare {#Emph}you{#Prev}, not the other way around. So, did you beat this guy, or what? Melinoe (Melinoe_4420): As a matter of fact, I did! Dora (Dora_0498): Well then he's not so scary after all. DoraBathHouse01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0419): Say Dora? Would you mind accompanying me over to the baths? I'd hate to think they aren't haunted. Dora (Dora_0061): Do I want to float aimlessly in some near-boiling water? Do I ever! What are we waiting for? Dora (Dora_0063): Wonder if I was ever shy about this kind of stuff... Melinoe (Melinoe_0421): You still can sense something of the waters' warmth, can't you, Dora? Dora (Dora_0071): Well, I can see all the steam rising, which I associate with warmth, so... I guess it kind of tricks me into thinking warm thoughts. Melinoe (Melinoe_0422): That doesn't sound so bad. Though, you do remember what warmth was like, then? From your mortal days? Dora (Dora_0072): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, not really, no. I, I guess I've just heard so much about it, it's like I've experienced it myself. Dora (Dora_0077): {#Emph}Whew! {#Prev}That was basically like floating around in your tent, though I appreciate it nonetheless! DoraBathHouse02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0420): Hey I've got these bath salts here that are more than enough for me, if you're not busy at the moment...? Dora (Dora_0062): Mel, you know I like doing nothing. Sitting in the bathhouse with you? Well that's got to be the next best thing so, shall we? Dora (Dora_0065): Like being cooked in a cauldron, isn't it? Melinoe (Melinoe_0424): Don't you ever wonder how you used to be, Dora? When you were flesh and blood? I bet you were very beautiful. Dora (Dora_0073): {#Emph}Hah! Whaaat{#Prev}, seriously? Is it because of my voice or because of my curves? Nah, you're just messing with me. Melinoe (Melinoe_0425): I am not! It's because of your confidence, I suppose. You're very self-assured! Some Shades cower before me, but you and I always got on. Dora (Dora_0074): Well, some Shades are total buffoons. Anyway, it doesn't really matter to me how I used to be. If I was happy about it, I figure I'd remember. Melinoe (Melinoe_0426): You think you've deliberately forgotten your past? Dora (Dora_0075): Yeah. Why else would I have forgotten everything? Probably took a couple swigs from the River Lethe, and that was that! Clean slate. Melinoe (Melinoe_0427): The River of Forgetfulness... you think you were down in Elysium? Dora (Dora_0078): You know, if I'm not mistaken I think I had a good time with you back there. Thanks, Mel! Melinoe (Melinoe_0577): {#Emph}Mm! DoraBathHouse03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4675): Forget about the Nectar and Ambrosia, what if we go to the springs again? It's quiet there. Seems more your style... and for that matter, mine. Dora (Dora_0600): I was planning to say no to whatever you had in mind just to mess with you, but the springs {#Emph}do {#Prev}sound OK. So let's go. Melinoe (Melinoe_4676): Aren't you angry with the gods...? For what they did to you, and all of mortalkind, apparently. So what if it was a long time ago! The more I think about it, the angrier I get... Dora (Dora_0602): I mean, {#Emph}honestly{#Prev}, it was a pretty good prank! But, it was nasty, too. I don't know which one of you all was responsible, but don't really care. Not big on the whole anger thing. Melinoe (Melinoe_4677): You're too kind... more than {#Emph}my {#Prev}family at least. I don't think there's any taking back what happened, but... for what it's worth, once all this is over, I'm going to do all I can to make it so we gods act more decently with mortals from now on. Dora (Dora_0603): Speaking on behalf of all mortals who ever lived or ever will, I think we'd mostly like it if you left us alone. Might be a lot of evils in this world, but... we have ways of figuring things out. Melinoe (Melinoe_4678): ...Can you and I remain as friends, at least? Dora (Dora_0604): Well let me think about it for a little while and get back to you, all right? Dora (Dora_0605): ...Done a lot of thinking, and we're good to go on that remain-as-friends thing, Mel. Though I'll keep you posted if anything comes up! Melinoe (Melinoe_4680): Sounds good, Dora. DoraBathHouseDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3814): Would you be interested in visiting the springs with me, Dora? A warm soak can be good for the soul. Dora (Dora_0351): Nah. Kind of busy doing nothing whatsoever at the moment, though I might be up for a soak some other time. DoraChat01 Dora (Dora_0006): I'll keep an eye on all your stuff while you're away. DoraChat02 Dora (Dora_0007): Good to chat, but I better get back to haunting. DoraChat03 Dora (Dora_0008): Got a lot of weird stuff in here, you know that? DoraChat04 Dora (Dora_0009): Just haunting up the place. Don't worry about me... DoraChat05 Dora (Dora_0010): Hey, Mel. I mean, {#Emph}Ravens shall feast on your eyes! DoraChat06 Dora (Dora_0011): Hey, Mel. I mean, {#Emph}In seeking me you seek only your doom! DoraChat07 Dora (Dora_0012): {#Emph}Disturb me thus and I shall torment you for three eternities! DoraChat08 Dora (Dora_0013): {#Emph}May your days be filled with dread, your nights with fear! DoraChat09 Dora (Dora_0014): {#Emph}A thousand curses on you for invoking me! DoraChat10 Dora (Dora_0015): {#Emph}Do not presume to tarry o'erlong within my tent, witch! DoraChat11 Dora (Dora_0017): Do what you got to do. I'm not even here. DoraChat12 Dora (Dora_0018): Juuust floatin' around, don't mind me. DoraChat13 Dora (Dora_0019): Feel free to stay in your own tent as long as you like. DoraChat14 Dora (Dora_0020): Let me know if there's somebody I can torment for you, OK? DoraChat15 Dora (Dora_0021): Hope your big task thing's been going all right! DoraChat16 Dora (Dora_0022): I'll try not to muck everything up while you're out. DoraChat17 Dora (Dora_0023): {#Emph}Uhh{#Prev}, can I get a little privacy, here, Mel? DoraChat18 Dora (Dora_0024): Sooner you get out of here, sooner I can go through all your stuff. DoraChat19 Dora (Dora_0025): {#Emph}You {#Prev}exist, {#Emph}I {#Prev}exist... could be worse, right? DoraChat20 Dora (Dora_0026): Have a good whatever time it is doing whatever it is you do! DoraChat21 Dora (Dora_0027): Go knock 'em dead for me, or back to life! Whatever's worse. DoraChat22 Dora (Dora_0028): I'm going to haunt this tent {#Emph}so bad {#Prev}once you get out of here... DoraChat23 Dora (Dora_0029): Just go with the flow out there! It's what I do! DoraChat24 Dora (Dora_0030): {#Emph}Damn{#Prev}, Mel! {#Emph}Wow. {#Prev}If only looks could kill, am I right? DoraChat25 Dora (Dora_0031): Hope nothing horrible happens to you out there! DoraChat26 Dora (Dora_0032): Mel, you've inspired me... to float right here, for the time being. DoraChat27 Dora (Dora_0033): Hey, Mel! I mean, {#Emph}You hold no sway over me, witch! DoraChat28 Dora (Dora_0034): {#Emph}Your incessant reappearances have come to be acceptable, witch! DoraChat29 Dora (Dora_0630): Think maybe there's anything we ought to change around in terms of furnishings and all that? DoraChat30 Dora (Dora_0631): Sometimes I just want to, like, {#Emph}possess {#Prev}someone, you know? Only for a little bit. DoraChat31 Dora (Dora_0632): Don't mind me! Just doing my thing over here, Mel. DoraChat32 Dora (Dora_0633): Those Shades out there been saying you did good again tonight I guess? DoraChat33 Dora (Dora_0634): Want anyone around here tormented for a little while, just give me the signal. DoraChat34 Dora (Dora_0635): {#Emph}You deign to look upon me, witch? I shall haunt your every waking moment! DoraChat35 Dora (Dora_0636): {#Emph}Those who gaze into my eyes are forever doomed to suffer as I did! DoraChat36 Dora (Dora_0637): {#Emph}An eternity of suffering and insect-bites await all those who dare to cross my path. DoraChat37 Dora (Dora_0638): Been keeping an eye on things while you're away, and {#Emph}terrifying anyone who dares approach! DoraChat38 Dora (Dora_0639): I'll be keeping an eye on the tent for you while you're out all night, Mel. DoraChat40 Dora (Dora_0640): Need anything from me, I'll be right here. Or one of the other places you go. DoraChat41 Dora (Dora_0641): One of the other Shades said hi to me earlier, {#Emph}for the first and final time! DoraChat42 Dora (Dora_0642): Everything's been good enough here lately, long as you can say the same. DoraFirstMeeting Dora (Dora_0004_01_B): {#Emph}Who dares disturb my eternal rest? You trifle with powers far beyond your comprehension, witch! Dora (Dora_0646): {#Prev}That was pretty decent, right, Mel? Maybe pushing it, calling you witch like that. Melinoe (Melinoe_5191): Solid haunting all in all, Dora, and I thought the witch part worked. But, I'd better go. Something I have to do. Dora (Dora_0005): {#Emph}Then begone! DoraFishing01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0440): Hey, if you're not busy, up for a little visit with me to the riverside? I've got a twin lure we could use right here. Dora (Dora_0081): Don't know that I'll be doing you much good, between my inability to use a rod of fishing and my inability to keep quiet, but hey! You asked for it. Dora (Dora_0300): The River of Lamentation. Nothing but a bunch of sad stuff floating around in there. Sure you wouldn't rather leave it be? Melinoe (Melinoe_3690): Whatever's wallowing in there is going to stay put, unless it's finally decided it's had enough. For any such souls, we'll be doing them a favor, I think. Dora (Dora_0301): Not like we owe them, and not like they'll do us any favors back. And if all they can do now is feel sad for themselves at the bottom of a mucky river, fishing them out might not do them any good anyway. Melinoe (Melinoe_3691): We're not fishing them out, really. It's more like we're giving them an opportunity to escape their circumstances. It's a bit different from the mortal way of fishing in that sense. Dora (Dora_0302): Then if they don't like it any better up here, that's on them... Dora (Dora_0099): Well, that definitely was a thing that happened. Thanks! Melinoe (Melinoe_0063): Bye. Dora (Dora_0141): OK bye. DoraFishingDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3815): What would you say to a brief trip to the fishing pier with me? It's nice and quiet over there! Dora (Dora_0352): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, don't really want to move right now. And those fish would probably scare {#Emph}way {#Prev}too easily for a haunter of my skill. DoraGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0441): Wanted you to have this, Dora. To the best haunter in all the Crossroads! Dora (Dora_0102): See, I {#Emph}knew {#Prev}you were going to pull this gift-custom thing on me sooner or later, so I have come prepared. Catch! DoraGift02 Dora (Dora_0103): Oh, you don't need to get this kind of stuff for me! I can just take whatever stuff of yours I want when you're out! Melinoe (Melinoe_0443): Well you can't take {#Emph}this {#Prev}while I'm out! I keep it on me at all times, for just such an occasion. DoraGift03 Dora (Dora_0104): {#Emph}Fool! I am not susceptible to mere baubles such as this! Ah{#Prev}, just kidding. {#Emph}Totally {#Prev}susceptible. Gimme! Melinoe (Melinoe_0444): At last, I have discovered a vulnerable point in your defenses! DoraGift04 Dora (Dora_0105): Starting to get the feeling maybe I liked this stuff back when I had eyeballs and so on. Melinoe (Melinoe_0445): Doesn't matter whether you liked it then, what matters is you like it now. DoraGift05 Dora (Dora_0106): {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, on the one hand, I really don't know what I did to deserve this. But on the other hand, I really don't care! It's mine now. Melinoe (Melinoe_0446): It most certainly is! And there's more in it for you if you keep on haunting this tent! DoraGift06 Dora (Dora_0107): {#Emph}Such pitiable offerings as this are hardly worth my notice, witch! {#Prev}No, but, seriously, thanks. Nobody ever gets me anything! Besides you, I mean. It's nice, you know? Melinoe (Melinoe_0447): It's nice for me as well! Having you here as company means a lot, so it really is the least I could do. DoraGift07 Dora (Dora_0595): Hey, {#Emph}cool it {#Prev}with the Nectar, would you, Mel? Ever since we tried Ambrosia, I've been cultivating a {#Emph}much {#Prev}more sophisticated palate, for a Shade. No more cheap stuff. Melinoe (Melinoe_4670): Dora, the Nectar of the gods can hardly be considered {#Emph}cheap! {#Prev}Most mortals go through the entirety of their existence without so much as a {#Emph}taste! {#Prev}And you don't like it? Dora (Dora_0596): You know, I {#Emph}do{#Prev}, but it's a little on the sweet side for me? Though, I appreciate you treating me like royalty... {#Emph}like a spirit of unfathomable power...! Melinoe (Melinoe_0351): {#Emph} DoraGift08 Melinoe (Melinoe_4671): I've met many great and noble Shades, Dora, though I can confidently say that none of them are anything like {#Emph}you. {#Prev}This Ambrosia is yours; shall we open it at the taverna? Dora (Dora_0597): {#Emph}I shall accept your offering this time, witch. {#Prev}But I'd rather hang onto it for now. Unless you want to have it with me here? I just don't want to go anywhere is all. Melinoe (Melinoe_4672): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}Of course. Here, the aroma alone should do most of the work. To your continued hauntings! Dora (Dora_0598): Thanks. This stuff is definitely pretty good. How come you have {#Emph}both {#Prev}Nectar and Ambrosia, anyway? It's weird. Two different godly beverages, only one's an even bigger deal. Melinoe (Melinoe_4673): They're suitable for different occasions. It would never do to offer Ambrosia to a newer acquaintance, for example. It's reserved mainly for feasting between close friends or lovers. Dora (Dora_0599): Well that sounds just like {#Emph}us! {#Prev}But, I think I might be over this stuff too... Melinoe (Melinoe_4674): Oh... DoraGrantsCosmeticsShop01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1302): Dora, I've a favor, if you're not too busy. My task means I no longer can oversee the renewal project around here. Would you attend to it? Dora (Dora_0170): Wait, you're asking {#Emph}me {#Prev}to watch over the total transformation of this entire encampment into some ultimate haven for Shades and outcasts? Melinoe (Melinoe_1303): I {#Emph}know {#Prev}I can count on you. I'll provide the materials, you'll be the main point of contact. Dora (Dora_0171): {#Emph}Mmmmmm {#Prev}OK fine. Melinoe (Melinoe_1304): Great! DoraListless01 Dora (Dora_0046): Not going to lie, Mel, sometimes I wish {#Emph}I {#Prev}had a big important task. Not that floating isn't one. Melinoe (Melinoe_0064): You know my stance on this, Dora. You need to get out of this tent. You're very talented! I've never met a Shade that speaks like you! Dora (Dora_0047): {#Emph}Ooh{#Prev}, I can talk, makes me {#Emph}so special. Tsch! {#Prev}I'm sure any lowly Shade could do it after being stuck here listening to {#Emph}you people {#Prev}long enough. Melinoe (Melinoe_4272): Or you could teach them? Dora (Dora_0495): ...Nah! DoraListless02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0414): Everything all right, Dora? Any new hauntings need evaluation or anything? Dora (Dora_0050): {#Emph}Nah! {#Prev}I — I'm — I'm fine, it's just... think I've hit a bit of a slump is all. {#Emph}Happens{#Prev}, right? I'll get over it. Melinoe (Melinoe_0415): Good. DoraListless03 Dora (Dora_0048): Hey, if I were you I'd... well, come to think of it, I'd... I'd do a lot of things. Go for a jog! That seems nice. Having legs! Getting the heart rate going, a heart seems nice! Melinoe (Melinoe_0066): Stop it, Dora. I don't like it when you get like this. Dora (Dora_0049): ...Make something with my hands! I don't know, a cup? A bowl. I'd eat! Eating seems {#Emph}nice. {#Prev}Or even just remembering what that was like... Melinoe (Melinoe_0067): Take care, Dora... DoraPostEpilogue01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4879): Hey Dora, what if hypothetically there were to be the dawning of another age at some point, and the gods then truly did leave mortals more or less alone? More than before. Dora (Dora_0627): What are you making me some kind of {#Emph}offer {#Prev}here? I know you're a big deal lately but not even {#Emph}you {#Prev}have the power to pull something like {#Emph}that {#Prev}off, Mel. Why would the gods give up their gig? Melinoe (Melinoe_4880): Even the gods are subject to the will of the Three Fates. None of us can entirely control what shall come to pass, and there are prophecies that cannot change no matter what. Dora (Dora_0628): You really believe that stuff, even after everything you did? I mean, was there {#Emph}really {#Prev}some kind of prophecy about Chronos, and how you'd end up beating him eventually, once you realized your true potential thanks to me? Melinoe (Melinoe_4881): Well, no, because the Fates went missing throughout most of this ordeal, but... they don't tend to be mistaken. Dora (Dora_0629): Right. I'll believe it when it happens. DoraPostTrueEnding01 Dora (Dora_0606): Hey so what exactly {#Emph}happened {#Prev}around here? Did you complete your big important task? Because that's what I'm hearing from the other Shades. Melinoe (Melinoe_4873): Well, for the most part, yes! My family is back! My mother and father are restored to the Underworld throne, and my brother's back too! But we have many details to sort out, and... the Titan Chronos is going to be assisting us with that. Dora (Dora_0607): The Titan you said you were going to slay this whole time... {#Emph}assisting us. {#Prev}Hate to say it, Mel, but sounds to me like you totally blew it. At least the Titan part. Melinoe (Melinoe_4874): He's no longer himself, or rather... no longer the way he used to be. And we'll be closely watching him. Dora (Dora_0608): Sure. So then... congratulations are in order, basically? Melinoe (Melinoe_4875): Well if you like... Dora (Dora_0609): I do. Congratulations, Mel. DoraPostTrueEnding02 Dora (Dora_0623): Got a new picture there I see. That from your mom and dad? Looks newer than the other one. You're all grown up! Melinoe (Melinoe_4876): It was a bit of a parting gift, considering I won't be staying at the House of Hades with the rest of them. Though I'll be seeing them around, I think. Dora (Dora_0624): {#Emph}Oof, harsh! {#Prev}How come they didn't want you living in their subterranean stronghold with {#Emph}them? {#Prev}You're their {#Emph}kid! Melinoe (Melinoe_4877): They did want me to stay, it's just... my home is here. They're my family, but so is this. Dora (Dora_0625): What have you lost your mind? Wait, I'm your family too, {#Emph}that's {#Prev}what you're saying? Melinoe (Melinoe_4878): Sure, if you're up for it. Dora (Dora_0626): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}all right, I guess why not? DoraRunProgress01 Dora (Dora_0035): {#Emph}Gah! A scourge upon your bloodline for re-summoning me, witch! {#Prev}Hey, {#Emph}uh, {#Prev}everything OK, there, Mel? Melinoe (Melinoe_0407): Oh, yes Dora, it's just... I should have gone farther that time. I'll give more notes on your haunting later, all right? Dora (Dora_0036): Oh. Sure... DoraTaverna01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3726): Hey, now that the taverna's back, how about I treat you to a bit of the Ambrosia of the gods? You have my word it's good! Dora (Dora_0345): Well, I guess I'm not in the middle of anything, and since you {#Emph}did {#Prev}give me your word... know what, I'm in. Dora (Dora_0346): ...Considered a delicacy, that figures. Kind of a weird consistency, are you supposed to {#Emph}drink {#Prev}this stuff or {#Emph}eat {#Prev}it? Melinoe (Melinoe_3727): You're mainly just supposed to savor it with friends. I agree it's a bit unusual, but then, it's intended for extraordinary circumstances. Dora (Dora_0347): Yeah? What makes this so extraordinary? We're just... lounging around. Not in the tent, which granted isn't normal in my case, but... still. Melinoe (Melinoe_3728): It's ours to decide what's special, don't you think? Yes, we see each other night in and night out. But we have never shared a fancy bottle like this, just the two of us. Dora (Dora_0348): I guess I see your point, but... bit of a paradox or something, right? Ambrosia's meant for extraordinary events, but it's the Ambrosia itself making things... unnaturally festive. Melinoe (Melinoe_3729): {#Emph}Supernaturally{#Prev}, even. My skin, it's beginning to crawl, as though... something is here with us! Oh, gods... Dora (Dora_0349): {#Emph}The gods themselves shall quake with fear, the likes of which your frail consciousness shall never comprehend! Dora (Dora_0350): ...All right so then Ambrosia's not that bad. I got to go unwind, but... that was fun. Melinoe (Melinoe_3731): Do it, Dora. DoraTavernaDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3816): Want to join me at the Taverna for a bottle of Ambrosia? I enjoyed our previous outing. Dora (Dora_0353): I enjoyed it too but it was kind of a {#Emph}lot{#Prev}, being in that crowd... still a little drained from last time, I think. DoraWithMoros01 Dora (Dora_0180): ...And so I say, {#Emph}begone accursed witch! I have occupied this grove for aeons, long before your pitiable tent came to rest upon it! {#Prev}Oh hey Mel. Melinoe (Melinoe_2031): I see the two of you have met! Lord Moros, Dora speaks the truth as always. She's been here longer than I have, if you can believe it! Moros (Moros_0184): I can, indeed. For I know an old soul when I see one. It's a pleasure to meet you, Dora. Do let me know if I can be of service in some way. Dora (Dora_0181): {#Emph}Haha. {#Prev}Count on it, Horns! Now then, {#Emph}I bid your leave. Farewell! Moros (Moros_0185): Farewell! DoraWithMoros02 Dora (Dora_0182): ...His own {#Emph}brother? Eugh, {#Prev}no way, that is twisted! Your sisters are sick! Moros (Moros_0186): Well... they have many mortal lives to untangle, so to speak. The work can grow repetitive, lose its spark. So they liven things up from time to time. Dora (Dora_0183): Oh totally I, I would completely do the same if I were them. I wonder what they did to {#Emph}me.... {#Prev}Could you, like, look me up, or something...? Moros (Moros_0187): {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}I fear I'm not at liberty to do such things. Dora (Dora_0184): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, come on... DoraWithMoros03 Dora (Dora_0655): {#Emph}Now kneel before me, O Horned King, and know your place! Lest I reduce you and that flowing mane of yours to dust and scatter it to the four winds! Moros (Moros_0697): ...Yes, that was truly excellent, Dora. Although, {#Emph}Horned King? {#Prev}That made it sound as though I was important in some way, when I think you were going for sheer dominance. Dora (Dora_0656): {#Emph}Yeah{#Prev}, that's a good note. Just kind of popped into my head, you know? The antlers... they {#Emph}are {#Prev}striking! They real? Moros (Moros_0698): Don't you touch them. Dora (Dora_0657): I'm gonna. Moros (Moros_0699): I said don't. Dora (Dora_0658): I'm gonna! Moros (Moros_0700): Please? DoraWithSkelly01 Dora (Dora_0200): ...So you basically just stand here, saying stuff, whatever pops in your head, and those {#Emph}other {#Prev}Shades, and Mel... they eat it up? Skelly (Skelly_0171): They {#Emph}do {#Prev}eat it up, Disciple, for it is nourishment borne of the wisdom of a vast experience, well-informing that which pops into my head!

Echo (Echo_0122): A place like... this is where I can help... {#Echo1}I can help... {#Prev}{#Echo2}I can help... {#Prev}others, who... have no one to talk to. To turn to. Because I found... I can reflect their feelings, and their thoughts... {#Echo1}and their thoughts... {#Prev}{#Echo2}and their thoughts... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4636): The way that you've reflected mine. But, we have to find a way to give you back your voice. We're close to a breakthrough! Echo (Echo_0123): A breakthrough... {#Echo1}a break... {#Prev}no.

You keep {#Emph}beating {#Prev}him but he keeps coming {#Emph}back! {#Prev}I like how pointless it seems, but... there has to be more to it, right? Melinoe (Melinoe_4357): Come on, Eris. I'm not about to reveal the critical details of my task, especially to someone who had every opportunity to be part of it to begin with. Go about your business. Eris (Eris_0248): How about you just give me a little hint. Are you planning to use his own powers against him? Break free our family members one by one? Anything like that? Melinoe (Melinoe_4358): Not telling you! Eris (Eris_0249): {#Emph}Mean! ErisAboutCloseMatch01 Eris (Eris_0170): I really thought you had me that time, babe, but... I guess not. Maybe later. You must be mad you can't get back at me right now. Melinoe (Melinoe_3214): I wouldn't break the peace here even if I could, Eris. But you really test my self-control. When next I see you at the edge of the Rift, I'll not hold back. Eris (Eris_0171): {#Emph}Ooh{#Prev}, she's {#Emph}angry! {#Prev}Just the way I like it. ErisAboutDisorder01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2683): You've seen firsthand the suffering out there, from all the endless warring between Chronos and the gods. But you're entirely unmoved? Eris (Eris_0058): Who says I'm {#Emph}unmoved? {#Prev}On the contrary, it makes me all {#Emph}emotional! {#Prev}I'm trying to live in the moment and everything, but... I just know I'm going to look back on this and think, {#Emph}these were the best of times. Melinoe (Melinoe_2684): For you; not for anybody else. Eris (Eris_0059): Yes, and...? ErisAboutHeart01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2654): Eris, you... you said before that I don't even know what I'm missing. What did you mean by that? Eris (Eris_0028): Didn't mean your {#Emph}family{#Prev}, that's for sure! Come {#Emph}on{#Prev}, look at yourself. You've never lived a {#Emph}day {#Prev}in your {#Emph}life! {#Prev}That heart beating in your chest? You think it's only there to pump your blood! Just another muscle! Melinoe (Melinoe_2655): The heart {#Emph}is {#Prev}a muscle. What, should I be out feasting? When Olympus is in peril, and the Underworld in utter disarray? Eris (Eris_0029): Maybe! But you just want everything nice, and orderly, and predictable, and {#Emph}boring. Melinoe (Melinoe_2656): That's not true. Eris (Eris_0030): You sure...? ErisAboutHecate01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2664): You don't even speak with Headmistress anymore, do you? Makes her relationship with Nemesis look positively healthy by comparison. Eris (Eris_0038): She said a {#Emph}lot {#Prev}of nasty things about me, babe. And not just to my face. All because I didn't {#Emph}fit her model {#Prev}of a {#Emph}star disciple! {#Prev}I had to move on. It's just, I don't need anybody like that in my life. Melinoe (Melinoe_2665): Eris, you repeatedly stole from her, kept using the cauldron to create explosives, and my tent for target practice, vandalized Hypnos in his slumber, salted the garden, and continually harassed Shades about the way they died... Eris (Eris_0039): Well, Miss Perfect, so I made a few slip-ups! Doesn't make it OK for Hecate to lecture me, in {#Emph}private{#Prev}, where I couldn't even get full credit for the things I did. You don't know the half of it! Melinoe (Melinoe_2666): She silence-warded you, didn't she? Eris (Eris_0040): I think maybe she did... ErisAboutHeracles01 Eris (Eris_0054): That Heracles sure is {#Emph}something{#Prev}, isn't he? Too bad there's not much going on between his ears. That lion pelt he likes to strut around in probably has got more smarts than {#Emph}him. Melinoe (Melinoe_2679): What makes you say that? Other than your general tendency to speak ill of others. Heracles seems no fool to me; a bit disillusioned, maybe. Eris (Eris_0055): His club does all the thinking for him, and most of the talking, too. {#Emph}Ehh{#Prev}, you're both gullible! Maybe that's why you think he's so great. Or, maybe he's just your type? Melinoe (Melinoe_2680): {#Emph} {#Prev}No...! ErisAboutHypnosWakeUp01 Eris (Eris_0417): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, Hypnos is {#Emph}gone? {#Prev}I had big plans for him involving a bag of cats and a couple bottles of Nectar you gave me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4939): Then I saved him from a terrible fate of some sort. Perhaps at some point down the line he'll thank me properly, as he was in a bit of a hurry to depart. Eris (Eris_0418): Why don't you let me kill you next time we're out there on the Rift, and chances are, you'll wash on down into the River Styx, and wind up right in front of him again? He's the greeter at the House of Hades isn't he? Melinoe (Melinoe_4940): He's not a {#Emph}greeter. {#Prev}He holds a position of high honor. Eris (Eris_0419): {#Emph}Welcome to the House of Hades! {#Prev}He's a greeter, babe. ErisAboutLoyalty01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2674): Why are you really here, Eris? Tell me Chronos didn't put you up to this. You've made quite clear that you don't want me to succeed. Eris (Eris_0048): Babe, I'm almost hurt! You don't get me at all, do you? Just because I'm not rooting for {#Emph}you {#Prev}doesn't mean I'm rooting for the {#Emph}other {#Prev}guy. Melinoe (Melinoe_2675): Then who exactly are you rooting for, pray tell? Eris (Eris_0049): I'll let you puzzle that one out. ErisAboutMoros01 Eris (Eris_0050): If I have to listen to another one of your conversations with Moros, I am going to vomit. Though, you'll just clean that up too, won't you? Melinoe (Melinoe_2676): You're not to eavesdrop on my private conversations. Particularly if they induce in you a sense of nausea! You might do well to speak with your brother yourself, sometime. Eris (Eris_0051): I'd much rather see how long he'll keep pretending I'm not here. ErisAboutMoros02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4233): You've been back a while yet still isolate yourself. Your brother makes more of an effort to fit in, but he struggles too... you may have more in common than you think. Eris (Eris_0193): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}really? Maybe I'll go over and tell him you said that! What, you think just because most of the world hates {#Emph}his {#Prev}guts same as mine that we're {#Emph}alike? Melinoe (Melinoe_4234): Well, I'd not put it that way at all... though I do think each of you has been misunderstood in your own right. Eris (Eris_0194): What's not to understand? I'm {#Emph}Strife{#Prev}; he's {#Emph}Doom{#Prev}. These are simple concepts, babe! Though granted, most of the world {#Emph}is {#Prev}pretty stupid... Melinoe (Melinoe_4235): You shouldn't say such things. Eris (Eris_0195): You mean the truth? ErisAboutNemesis01 Eris (Eris_0052): You're {#Emph}really {#Prev}getting under Nemmie's skin lately! Saw her run out in a huff, {#Emph}clanky clank{#Prev}, not long after talking to you. What'd you say that got her so worked up? I'll have to add it to my arsenal. Melinoe (Melinoe_2677): I wouldn't know. We've discussed my task from time to time, and she's interested in helping out however she can. I think she's just very determined to see our plans succeed. Eris (Eris_0053): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, I hear you! Fine. A witch never reveals her tricks, something like that? Well, just watch yourself with Sis, is all I'll say. She won't let {#Emph}anybody {#Prev}get too far ahead! Melinoe (Melinoe_2678): She sure won't. ErisAboutNotFighting01 Eris (Eris_0196): I can't believe you stood me up last night, Trouble! Do you know how {#Emph}demeaning {#Prev}it is having to wait around for you at a beach, in the middle of the night, all {#Emph}alone? Melinoe (Melinoe_4236): What? We had no plans to meet as I recall, else I'd have honored them. You truly expect me to abandon the main focus of my task, just to fight with you again and again? Eris (Eris_0197): I thought I felt something was all... that our times at the beach might be just a little more special to you than your boring job. But I guess I was wrong... Melinoe (Melinoe_4237): You guess correctly. ErisAboutNotFighting02 Eris (Eris_0198): Not seen you topside in a while, babe. I didn't want to say anything but it's starting to feel a little {#Emph}personal{#Prev}, you know? Melinoe (Melinoe_4238): Eris, have you considered the possibility that when I pursue my task within the Underworld, you could not be further from my mind? Eris (Eris_0199): That's what they all say. You know what {#Emph}I {#Prev}think? You're {#Emph}afraid. {#Prev}Not just to face me, but to face your feelings. Fine! Go run away into the Underworld some more. Melinoe (Melinoe_4239): Why do I speak to you? Eris (Eris_0200): Only to hurt us both... ErisAboutNyx01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2659): You've such disdain for what we're trying to achieve. You act as though nothing was lost. Don't you want to see Nyx again? Or Thanatos? Eris (Eris_0033): Don't I want to see my mother again, or brother number-I-have-no-idea? {#Emph}Pff, hahaha{#Prev}, no. They were even more stuck up than you. {#Emph}No offense. Melinoe (Melinoe_2660): ...How can you say such things about your relatives? Were they crueler to you than this? Eris (Eris_0034): Nyx always wanted things {#Emph}her {#Prev}way. Why should she, or anybody, have that kind of power over {#Emph}me? {#Prev}Because she {#Emph}made {#Prev}me? She didn't ask {#Emph}my {#Prev}permission. And I don't need hers. Melinoe (Melinoe_2661): I'm sorry... ErisAboutNyx02 Eris (Eris_0395): So what'd you think of Nyx? You met her, right? Now you know where Nemmie gets her looks, and where {#Emph}I {#Prev}get my personality. Melinoe (Melinoe_4924): What? I hardly got to know her but even still, Nyx didn't seem anything like you at all. She was very elegant. Eris (Eris_0396): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, thanks, babe. But beneath that cold exterior she's got a wild side, I swear. Why {#Emph}else {#Prev}would she have so many kids all by herself? She's out of her {#Emph}mind! Melinoe (Melinoe_4925): Or just you, perhaps. ErisAboutPackagedBounties01 Eris (ErisField_0364): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, you almost beat me here tonight, Trouble! You're {#Emph}way {#Prev}ahead of schedule! Although... {#Emph}huh... {#Prev}What am I {#Emph}saying? Schedule?! {#Prev}What's happening to me...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3272): If you're feeling a little out of sorts this evening, perhaps it's simply because Primordial Chaos is exerting influence over reality as we know it. Eris (ErisField_0365): Oh, {#Emph}right{#Prev}, that makes sense! {#Emph}Chaos {#Prev}made everything. But you know what? Now {#Emph}we {#Prev}can make some chaos, too. ErisAboutPackagedBounties02 Eris (ErisField_0366): You made it past Ephyra {#Emph}real {#Prev}quick, Trouble. Must be {#Emph}Primordial Chaos exerting influence over reality {#Prev}again, {#Emph}huh...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3273): The thing is, Eris... I can be entirely forthright with you, yet you still take the absolute {#Emph}least {#Prev}charitable view of anything I say. So what does it matter how I respond? Eris (ErisField_0367): See, that's exactly how {#Emph}I {#Prev}feel — what {#Emph}does {#Prev}it matter. Maybe it matters to {#Emph}Chaos, huh? {#Prev}Only {#Emph}one {#Prev}way to find out. ErisAboutPast01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2657): Look... you're right I've never known what it was like before Chronos returned. You keep insinuating it was worse than now. How so? Eris (Eris_0031): Already told you, babe! Your father, my mother, whole inner circle... they got off bossing everyone around! Didn't give me space to spread my wings. Bunch of Olympus wannabes, but with {#Emph}mood lighting! Melinoe (Melinoe_2658): ...So you prefer living in a state of total disorder and constant mayhem to living under a principled set of rules? Eris (Eris_0032): That's a really good way to put it! ErisAboutPast02 Eris (Eris_0035): You really want to know the way things used to be, Trouble? Think about everything that gets you to come out of your tent night after night. Gets you {#Emph}fired up! {#Prev}What comes to mind? Melinoe (Melinoe_2662): Sure. Those I care about are counting on me. And, I wish to learn; to grow strong in body, mind, and spirit. Eris (Eris_0036): Inspiring. Now, imagine having everything you want... so you're left wanting nothing at all.... Melinoe (Melinoe_2663): No, I can't imagine that. So, everyone besides you was self-indulgent and unmotivated? But now the roles are reversed, I suppose? Eris (Eris_0037): You don't get it. Fine. ErisAboutPurpose01 Eris (Eris_0026): I don't get you people, honestly. So set on making things the way they used to be. {#Emph}You{#Prev}, especially! You don't even know what you're missing! Melinoe (Melinoe_0084): We're trying to set things right, not make them how they used to be. Though, what's your point, Eris? Eris (Eris_0027): What's my point? What's {#Emph}your {#Prev}point? All of you are {#Emph}so {#Prev}obsessed with there being a {#Emph}Point {#Prev}to everything. You do know there isn't one, don't you? Can't just let loose and have a good time? Melinoe (Melinoe_0085): Not under the present circumstances, no. ErisAboutRelationship01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4362): Eris, what's the matter? Are you... have you been weeping? Eris (Eris_0255): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}And... what if I was, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}It's not like you care about me! Not you or anybody in this whole damn place. Melinoe (Melinoe_4363): Oh stop it. If you made even the slightest effort not to be a scourge on these Crossroads, perhaps you'd have more companions. I keep foolishly believing that you'll change. Eris (Eris_0256): You're not my companion. No one is! No one I'm close to... no one I can depend on... share my secrets with... Melinoe (Melinoe_4364): Look... I'll not betray your trust if you need someone to confide in. Provided what you share won't put the others whom I care about in any sort of peril. Eris (Eris_0257): {#Emph}Tsch... {#Prev}others whom you care about. You lump me in with {#Emph}them? {#Prev}Come on, babe, all we do is {#Emph}fight! {#Prev}Which I don't mind, of course! But there's much more to a relationship. Melinoe (Melinoe_4365): I've told you to speak plain with me before. What sort of relationship are you expecting us to have when all you do is interfere with me? Eris (Eris_0258): You're so stupid sometimes! Look, I can't help the way I feel, and I'm not exactly a good judge of character. Whatever's wrong with me, I know it can't be fixed. Melinoe (Melinoe_4366): How could you possibly know that? Eris (Eris_0259): I just {#Emph}do! ErisAboutRelationship02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4367): When last we spoke you said whatever's wrong with you couldn't be fixed. What makes you say such things? Eris (Eris_0260): Appreciate all the concern but I just had a little moment that you're making a big deal. We're all a little broken, right? Melinoe (Melinoe_4368): Perhaps so. But we can better ourselves through effort and discipline, as much as we can muster. Or, we could endlessly get in each other's way. Eris (Eris_0261): The thing is, I don't want to have to {#Emph}try. {#Prev}Not with {#Emph}this{#Prev}, not with {#Emph}you. {#Prev}I want things to be {#Emph}easy{#Prev}, you want things to be {#Emph}hard. {#Prev}But at least we really {#Emph}get {#Prev}each other now! Melinoe (Melinoe_4369): Eris...! ErisAboutRelationship03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4502): Hey about the other night, are we... I mean, are you all right with everything? I don't know what I'm trying to say... Eris (Eris_0286): Babe, {#Emph}stop. {#Prev}You said you never had any regrets about me. Probably lying to yourself, but still. We had our fun, so what? Melinoe (Melinoe_4503): Perhaps I'm just not yet accustomed to what you consider {#Emph}fun. {#Prev}I've had a lot of other things to think about. Eris (Eris_0287): And you always {#Emph}will! {#Prev}But if you don't leave room for any mayhem in your life, it's gonna be a real drag. I swear. Melinoe (Melinoe_4504): Mayhem? We were talking about fun. Eris (Eris_0288): Same thing. ErisAboutRelationship03_B Melinoe (Melinoe_4502): Hey about the other night, are we... I mean, are you all right with everything? I don't know what I'm trying to say... Eris (Eris_0289): Babe, stop. As much as I like messing with your head, I can't stand it when you act all pathetic. What, you're worried you hurt my little feelings, or just having second thoughts? Melinoe (Melinoe_4505): Mostly the former. If I've somehow earned some of your trust, it's not my wish to ruin that, in spite of everything. Eris (Eris_0290): Then all you have to do is shut up about it! It's only a big deal if you decide to make it one, right? Melinoe (Melinoe_4506): Right. ErisAboutRelationship04 Eris (Eris_0291): You're really turning heads around here, babe. I've seen the way Nemmie and Moros look at you! What do you think, maybe it's time we finally told them about {#Emph}us? Melinoe (Melinoe_4507): Oh cut it out, Eris. No serious commitments, right? You happen to come from an attractive family, and we have all the time in the world. Especially once all of this is over. Eris (Eris_0292): I mean, I guess! Assuming this {#Emph}will {#Prev}be over at some point, or something worse doesn't come up! Anyway just messing with your head. I like how gullible you are...! Melinoe (Melinoe_4510): What are you talking about? Eris (Eris_0293): See, that was {#Emph}it! ErisAboutRematches01 Eris (Eris_0172): Got me fair and square again, Trouble. More than a couple times! Starting to think maybe I'm losing it, you know? Melinoe (Melinoe_3215): Oh, you poor thing. Please, let me cheer you up, so you'll proceed to fight against me even harder than before. Eris (Eris_0173): You mock me when I'm vulnerable, fine. But don't expect to cry on {#Emph}this {#Prev}shoulder when things take a turn for the worse, when it comes to {#Emph}your {#Prev}stuff. Outta my {#Emph}face! Melinoe (Melinoe_3216): {#Emph} ErisAboutRumors01 Eris (Eris_0099): I know what it's like, being pushed away. Having everybody {#Emph}smile {#Prev}to your face then {#Emph}stab {#Prev}you in the back. Well, for what it's worth... I don't believe a word they're saying about you. Melinoe (Melinoe_2719): I see. And to whom exactly are you referring, and can you cite an example of the words purportedly said? Eris (Eris_0100): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, it's just... Odysseus and Hecate. I can't believe they think you're gonna {#Emph}fail{#Prev}, that you don't have what it {#Emph}takes...! {#Prev}I mean, I don't want you to succeed, but... I never pretended otherwise! Melinoe (Melinoe_2720): You're trying to undermine them. Eris (Eris_0101): I'm just trying to help! ErisAboutRunCleared01 Eris (Eris_0185): {#Emph}Great job last night, babe! {#Prev}Is that what you want to hear? Well tough, because you won't be hearing it from {#Emph}me. {#Prev}Other than that one time. Melinoe (Melinoe_4205): As much as I probably would appreciate the occasional bit of encouragement from you now that you mention it, Eris, I know it's not your tendency. I was just checking up on you. Eris (Eris_0186): {#Emph}Aw, thanks! {#Prev}Whenever you accomplish something important it's like you're putting a {#Emph}knife {#Prev}right in my heart. Though, good to know you'll come around and check up on my {#Emph}corpse! Melinoe (Melinoe_4206): Oh don't be so dramatic. Eris (Eris_0187): {#Emph}Shut up! ErisAboutSolitude01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2681): Eris, how come you're always back here on your own? You never struck me as particularly reticent, and seem to enjoy interacting with others, in your own way.... Eris (Eris_0056): Well, babe, it's a bit of a weird explanation, and you're not going to like it if I tell you. Which makes me {#Emph}really {#Prev}want to tell you! But then I think about how you must really want to know, which makes me {#Emph}not {#Prev}want to tell you anymore. Melinoe (Melinoe_2682): I'm fairly certain it's not that you're just a figment of my imagination. Little voice in my head that keeps leading me astray. Eris (Eris_0057): Long as you're not {#Emph}completely {#Prev}certain! ErisAboutStrife01 Eris (Eris_0060): You don't know how good you've got it, Trouble. I grew up surrounded by siblings all thinking they were better than me. There's hoity-toity {#Emph}Retribution{#Prev}, over there! And {#Emph}Death{#Prev}, and {#Emph}Doom! {#Prev}Nobody wanted anything to do with {#Emph}Strife. Melinoe (Melinoe_2685): Moros could relate more than you know. You children of Nyx are widely feared, but so what? You don't need a lot of friends. You just need a few good ones. And the very meaning of {#Emph}Strife {#Prev}is for {#Emph}you {#Prev}to define, isn't it? Eris (Eris_0061): I mean, I {#Emph}guess... ErisAboutStrife02 Eris (Eris_0125): Don't hate me, babe, OK? It's not my fault I keep lying to you, manipulating you, shooting you with the Rail, making you clean up after me, saying awful things behind your back... Melinoe (Melinoe_3131): While I cannot shake the sense that this is a personal failing of mine, in spite of everything, I {#Emph}don't {#Prev}hate you, Eris. Not entirely. Although... whose fault {#Emph}is {#Prev}all of that, if not your own? Eris (Eris_0126): My {#Emph}mother's! {#Prev}It's Nyx's fault, {#Emph}that's {#Prev}whose! Because she literally made me what I am, and what I'll always be. I could have been {#Emph}Old Age{#Prev}, or {#Emph}Friendship! {#Prev}But, no! And I can't change my nature. No matter {#Emph}how {#Prev}hard I try. Melinoe (Melinoe_3132): And, approximately how hard would you say you've tried? Eris (Eris_0127): I mean, I haven't {#Emph}really{#Prev}, yet! But I'm going to this time, I swear! Melinoe (Melinoe_3133): And I encourage you. ErisAboutSurface01 Eris (Eris_0102): I heard you went up top! Got to breathe some fresh surface air. What made you go and do a thing like that? Thought you were single-mindedly going after Chronos! Melinoe (Melinoe_2721): Figured that I might do well with a change of scenery for a bit. Though, I'm surprised you're not up there yourself, considering how things are. Eris (Eris_0103): It does sound pretty exciting! But, I'd probably just be getting in the way. From what I hear, Ares has things well in hand up there. {#Emph}Imagine {#Prev}being the god of war right now. You'd be {#Emph}thrilled! Melinoe (Melinoe_2722): Your whole family would be in peril. Eris (Eris_0104): ...So? ErisAboutSurface02 Eris (Eris_0105): I figured it out! All these visits topside. {#Emph}You're {#Prev}trying to get to {#Emph}Olympus! {#Prev}Come to the family's rescue! Put an end to the war up there, is that it? Melinoe (Melinoe_2723): Oh, I just go up there to gather fresh reagents, really. Moss, bits of bronze. Comes in handy! The Olympians are very good at taking care of themselves. Eris (Eris_0106): Sure they are. And they're too proud to ask for help. Just don't go ruining it for Ares when you're up there {#Emph}picking Moss. {#Prev}He's on a real hot streak lately! Melinoe (Melinoe_2724): Sounds like you and the god of war are still pretty close. Been very busy lately, hasn't he? Eris (Eris_0107): Sure has! ErisAboutSurfaceRunCleared01 Eris (Eris_0188): They're saying you beat Typhon single-handedly last night. One step closer to putting everything back to normal, huh? Melinoe (Melinoe_4207): I did not beat Typhon single-handedly, but we managed to defeat him, yes. Though I don't think you need to fear a return to normalcy anytime soon... Eris (Eris_0189): I know you're trying to reassure me, but I can't help the way I {#Emph}feel! {#Prev}I ought to be enjoying all this while it {#Emph}lasts! {#Prev}The future might be boring as dirt, but right now? Things are OK. Melinoe (Melinoe_4208): Things are not OK. ErisAboutTask01 Eris (Eris_0024): You know how come I'm {#Emph}really {#Prev}back, don't you, Trouble? Because things {#Emph}finally {#Prev}started getting {#Emph}interesting. {#Prev}But you're trying to put a stop to it...! Melinoe (Melinoe_2421): I won't let you cast doubt on my task. Surely you've better uses of your energy than this, and throwing all your rubbish everywhere? Eris (Eris_0025): What would {#Emph}you {#Prev}even know? I have {#Emph}every {#Prev}right to be here, and you're never getting rid of me! And you're never getting rid of Chronos, either. No going {#Emph}back {#Prev}to how things {#Emph}were! Melinoe (Melinoe_2422): We're going forward not back. ErisAboutTrash01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2669): What compels you to fill this place with your rubbish, Eris? Do you wish to be welcome here only as a technicality? Eris (Eris_0044): {#Emph}Um{#Prev}, since when am I supposed to care what anybody thinks? You're all about borrowing from the earth. I'm just giving something back! Melinoe (Melinoe_2670): That's... {#Emph}eugh... ErisAboutTrash02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2671): What is this stuff you're always littering about here, anyway? {#Emph}Cyclops Jerky? {#Prev}Did you happen on a limitless supply? Eris (Eris_0045): Know what, as a matter of fact, I did! And you'll never guess where from. This stuff is {#Emph}so addictive {#Prev}once you get into it! Want to try some? Melinoe (Melinoe_2672): No. ErisAboutTrash03 Eris (Eris_0190): You don't need to pick up after me, you know. {#Emph}I {#Prev}was gonna get around to it! What do you {#Emph}do {#Prev}with all that, anyway? Melinoe (Melinoe_4231): I present it to the Wretched Broker, through whom anything we no longer require can return to the Earth. You could do so yourself...! The Broker's right there... Eris (Eris_0191): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, that's all right. I wouldn't want to impose! Though maybe I'll go through {#Emph}your {#Prev}things next time you're out, and have the Broker there return {#Emph}them {#Prev}to the Earth! Melinoe (Melinoe_4232): You wouldn't dare. ErisAboutTruth01 Eris (Eris_0096): Know what your problem is, Trouble? You're too green. Not done enough hard living to tease apart the truth from whatever it is you're told. Melinoe (Melinoe_2717): Thank you for the feedback, Eris. You've given me a lot to think about. I regret our living here in this embattled camp just isn't hard enough. Eris (Eris_0097): {#Emph} {#Prev}Sarcasm! Good, I like it. You've got a mean streak in you, I just know it, babe. And I wouldn't want you keeping it all to {#Emph}yourself! {#Prev}Share your gift with the world! Melinoe (Melinoe_2718): Whatever you say... Eris (Eris_0098): {#Emph}Tsch! {#Prev}No! Whatever {#Emph}you {#Prev}say! ErisAboutTyphon01 Eris (Eris_0250): Sounds like there was a big commotion on Olympus last night! And I wasn't even around, thanks to you. How'd it go? Melinoe (Melinoe_4359): Just great! Almost got eaten by the Father of All Monsters trying to distract him from destroying everything in sight! You really had to be there. Eris (Eris_0251): You know, babe, when somebody misses out on a good time, you ought to play it {#Emph}down{#Prev}, like, {#Emph}oh it wasn't anything that great. {#Prev}Or they'll feel {#Emph}bad {#Prev}they couldn't {#Emph}make it! Melinoe (Melinoe_4360): You {#Emph}should {#Prev}feel bad. Eris (Eris_0252): Well now, I {#Emph}don't! ErisAboutUltimateProgress01 Eris (Eris_0379): I'm warning you, you better cut this out, Trouble. Messing with {#Emph}Chronos{#Prev}, messing with {#Emph}Typhon{#Prev}, messing everything {#Emph}up! {#Prev}That's supposed to be {#Emph}my job! Melinoe (Melinoe_4911): You clearly did your job already. I'm in the process of undoing it. Much like how I often pick up after you here. Eris (Eris_0380): Well you're not gonna. And even if you {#Emph}do{#Prev}, you'll look back on this and wish things were as {#Emph}interesting {#Prev}as they are now! Melinoe (Melinoe_4912): I wouldn't mind if things were boring for a change. Eris (Eris_0381): I {#Emph}would! ErisAboutWar01 Eris (Eris_0064): You're {#Emph}so {#Prev}worked up about this war, like it's some {#Emph}huge thing. {#Prev}Olympus {#Emph}loves {#Prev}a good war! Have 'em all the time up there, got a whole {#Emph}god {#Prev}dedicated to 'em and everything. Know how {#Emph}easy {#Prev}it is to get 'em to start fighting? Melinoe (Melinoe_2688): No, Eris, please, enlighten me. Just how easy is it to get my relatives to descend into acts of unconscionable violence and destruction? Eris (Eris_0065): Well this one time, they all flew into a tizzy over a single Golden Apple. A mysterious offering, marked for the {#Emph}fairest one of all! {#Prev}They had a little dispute over who the secret admirer meant, one thing led to another, and {#Emph}boom! Melinoe (Melinoe_2689): That sounds like a simple misunderstanding, if not a prank. But you say it grew into a full-scale war? What happened then? Eris (Eris_0066): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, long story... ErisAboutWar02 Eris (Eris_0062): Speaking as someone with no small experience starting wars, I gotta say... just 'cause I'm not working for Chronos, doesn't mean I don't respect what he's been able to achieve. Melinoe (Melinoe_2686): Eris... that was one of the worst sentences I think I've ever heard. Eris (Eris_0063): Go look at what he's done, objectively, and tell me I'm wrong! Melinoe (Melinoe_2687): No, thank you... ErisAboutWeaponGun01 Eris (Eris_0041): {#Emph}Whoa, haha! {#Prev}You startled me there, Trouble! Sneaking up on me like that, I almost blasted you. You gotta be more careful! Melinoe (Melinoe_2667): I don't appreciate you brandishing that thing about. Weapons remain prohibited outside the training grounds, in case you didn't know. Eris (Eris_0042): {#Emph}Weapons? Ah-ha! Hello{#Prev}, this is the Adamant Rail you're talking about. This baby once took {#Emph}Titans {#Prev}down! It's a work of art. And {#Emph}no one's {#Prev}taking it from me! Melinoe (Melinoe_2668): You ever going to tell me how you got your hands on it to begin with? It was intended to be in my {#Emph}father's {#Prev}care... yet, somehow it's in {#Emph}yours. Eris (Eris_0043): Turns out he wasn't so good at protecting his own! ErisBathHouse01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3474): Please don't make me regret this, Eris, but... would you like to join me at the hot springs for a bit? Helps ease the tension. Eris (Eris_0176): Wait, the springs are purified again? I've been out of the loop! Surprised I'd get another invite after last time, but... {#Emph}OK! Eris (Eris_0180): {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, so {#Emph}this {#Prev}is what you still do to relax? Hot as magma in this thing! Can we get out yet? Melinoe (Melinoe_3475): Permission denied. You'll quickly grow accustomed to the heat. Just try to concentrate on any tensions that you feel, and let the waters take them. Eris (Eris_0181): Tensions, {#Emph}me? {#Prev}Babe. I don't need to {#Emph}boil alive {#Prev}in order to cut loose. Though good to know you've found a way to bottle tensions up. What happens if you drink this stuff? Melinoe (Melinoe_3476): These springs are pure thanks partly to the Salts we use. Though even still, I wouldn't recommend imbibing them. Next thing you know, {#Emph}you {#Prev}might be purified as well. Eris (Eris_0182): Oh I'm not worried about that! This is the way I am down to my very core. And if {#Emph}you {#Prev}don't like it, and brought me in here hoping a nice hot bath was all it'd take for me to change, well then... I hate to disappoint. Melinoe (Melinoe_3477): Looks like the waters haven't rid you of your tensions yet...! Sometimes a hot spring is just a hot spring, Eris. Not everything is an assault on your ideals. Eris (Eris_0183): With all of you, I never can be sure. Though, this is nicer than the last time, and the heat isn't so bad right now, I guess... Eris (Eris_0184): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}... think I drank {#Emph}way {#Prev}too much bath water back there. Is this what being purified feels like? {#Emph}Whew! Melinoe (Melinoe_3479): See you, Eris... ErisBathHouse02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4292): Hey how about another visit to the springs? You seemed to enjoy yourself last time, and I find it truly helps. Eris (Eris_0208): Well as long as it {#Emph}helps! {#Prev}Look, I don't get my wings wet for just {#Emph}anybody{#Prev}, babe, but you're special. So let's go? Melinoe (Melinoe_4293): ...What is it like having so many siblings? I have but one and didn't even know him growing up. Though I often tried confiding in him anyway, like an imaginary friend. Eris (Eris_0212): The more brothers and sisters you have, the bigger the disappointment you can be! And it is so embarrassing when you forget their {#Emph}names. {#Prev}Just look how us kids of Nyx get on. The only family more messed up than mine is {#Emph}yours! Melinoe (Melinoe_4294): You mean the Olympians. How do you figure? They have their differences to be sure. But they still work together to maintain the natural order of the realms. Eris (Eris_0213): Work {#Emph}together? {#Prev}Come {#Emph}on{#Prev}, they can barely stand each other, from the very top on down! They never should have gone into business. Always caught between their blood commitments and their jobs! Melinoe (Melinoe_4295): I won't deny that family adds a complicated layer to their responsibilities. But it's also a source of solidarity and strength. Look at them now, standing together against a common foe. {#Emph}This {#Prev}is the Olympus mortals love and fear. Eris (Eris_0214): Sorry, not impressed. They say family is a bond that can never be broken, but... as is so often the case, they're {#Emph}wrong. {#Prev}Just because someone's related to you doesn't make them {#Emph}special {#Prev}or deserving of respect. Melinoe (Melinoe_4296): What {#Emph}does {#Prev}it take to earn respect from you, Eris? Eris (Eris_0215): I actually don't even know the answer to that right now. Though, sitting naked with me in half-boiling water helps! Eris (Eris_0216): I had a blast there, babe. And look how {#Emph}clean {#Prev}my wings are now! Won't stay like this for long, but... still. ErisBathHouseDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3553): Hey... what would you say about a visit to the hot springs, to cleanse yourself of all your foul deeds? And me of mine? Eris (Eris_0094): Oh, {#Emph}haha{#Prev}, well... you know, I'd feel way too self-conscious there with anybody else. Sorry! ErisBecomingCloser01 Eris (Eris_0276): {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, I'm still worked up after last night. When did you get so strong? I don't stand a chance against you anymore. Hey, want to go someplace with me, blow off some steam? Melinoe (Melinoe_4491): I'm not entirely certain I do. At the taverna at least there are plenty of witnesses in case you try anything untoward. Eris (Eris_0277): C'mon, what are you afraid of? Not like you can't take me in a {#Emph}fight! {#Prev}Anyway, it's not too far. I swear. Melinoe (Melinoe_4493): ...Wait this is it? You weren't jesting when you said it wasn't far. What's so special about this spot? Eris (Eris_0278): I like it here is all. No frogs croaking, no Shades wandering around... no one to catch us if we fool around a little bit... Melinoe (Melinoe_4494): By fool around a little bit you mean... {#Emph}oh{#Prev}, right. Eris, look, I'm not prepared for any serious commitment here. Eris (Eris_0279): Babe, I've never made a serious commitment in my {#Emph}life. {#Prev}I just like to have a little fun from time to time after a hard night trying to shoot you to pieces! What do you say? Melinoe (Melinoe_4495): It means a lot that you would ask, because I know it's not been easy to get close to anybody here. But this isn't something that I'm looking for right now. Whatever it is we have between us... I've come to like it just the way it is. Eris (Eris_0280): That's how {#Emph}I {#Prev}feel! And I get it, long as you're doing what {#Emph}you {#Prev}want instead of what everybody else wants. Though, mind if I tell everybody that we fooled around here anyway? Melinoe (Melinoe_4497): ...While I should probably regret a great many things about our relationship, the truth is, I never have. And besides... I like to learn from my mistakes. Melinoe (Melinoe_4498): Well! I think I learned a lot this evening, all in all. Though I should probably get back. If anybody asks, we were at the fishing pier. Eris (Eris_0283): We {#Emph}are {#Prev}at the fishing pier, babe. And what does it even matter if anybody asks? Who {#Emph}cares? {#Prev}We were just having a good time! That's not forbidden here, is it? Melinoe (Melinoe_4499): It isn't, no. So I suppose you now go back to trying to shoot me to pieces night after night like nothing happened? Eris (Eris_0284): You got it! What, did you really think I was gonna fall so hard that I'd give up on everything that makes me {#Emph}me? {#Prev}Please. No serious commitments, remember? Melinoe (Melinoe_4500): I do. And I don't mean to think like mortals here, it's just... I don't understand you sometimes, Eris. To be so... carefree. Eris (Eris_0285): I'll let you in on a little secret, babe: We like what we don't understand or can't have. Anyway that's always {#Emph}my {#Prev}excuse! See you around! Melinoe (Melinoe_4496): Please don't. Eris (Eris_0281): {#Emph}Aw... Melinoe (Melinoe_4501): {#Emph}Whew... ErisBossAboutAltFight01 Eris (ErisField_0386): See anything different about me, babe? Probably not! {#Emph}I {#Prev}haven't changed a bit, but you know what {#Emph}has {#Prev}is the Adamant Rail! I mean just {#Emph}look {#Prev}at it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3487): That must be someone else's Aspect of the Rail. Perhaps you did or said something to make it change its form... though this could have been my doing as well. Eris (ErisField_0387): There you go, always trying to take all the credit for yourself! Well the Rail doesn't answer to {#Emph}you{#Prev}, it answers to {#Emph}me. {#Prev}And I've already figured out all the new {#Emph}stuff {#Prev}it can do! Eris (ErisField_0388): Now watch {#Emph}this...! ErisBossAboutAltFight02 Eris (ErisField_0389): Earlier the Rail magickally switched over to this other style again. Like it {#Emph}knew {#Prev}you were on the way! I {#Emph}also {#Prev}knew you were on the way, pretty easy to spot you up there. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3488): Have you any idea whose Aspect that even is, or why your ancient Fate-forged weapon might be magickally changing forms without your influence? Eris (ErisField_0390): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}You talk like I'm supposed to be afraid of this thing when {#Emph}you're {#Prev}the one staring down the part that shoots. ErisBossAboutAltFight03 Eris (ErisField_0391): {#Emph}Damn it {#Prev}I kept waiting for this stupid Rail to switch over to that other form again but it won't {#Emph}budge! {#Prev}Same old piece of junk. Doesn't even reload half the time... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3489): Keep speaking ill of it that way and it may do your bidding less and less! I'm surprised you have an Aspect to your name at all. Eris (ErisField_0392): Well life's just full of surprises, Trouble! I like this Aspect better anyway. Let's see if it still does my {#Emph}bidding! ErisBossAboutAltFight04 Eris (ErisField_0393): The Rail switched up on me again! Hey, what if {#Emph}this {#Prev}is my true Aspect and the other one is for somebody else? This one's even got a {#Emph}face {#Prev}like mine, and {#Emph}wings! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3490): Look, the only reason you can sometimes use this Aspect is the Oath of the Unseen. Can't you feel the Fear in the night? Eris (ErisField_0394): All I feel right now, babe, is an overwhelming urge to turn you into little crispy slices with this thing. You think I care about some {#Emph}Oath? {#Prev}What am I, {#Emph}Nyx?! ErisBossAboutAltFight05 Eris (ErisField_0395): You washed up on the wrong part of the beach, Trouble. You see that giant stinking carcass over there? {#Emph}That's {#Prev}what you're gonna look like after this. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3491): I'm not nearly that size, Eris! Nor am I an aquatic animal, nor are you going to kill me. Though I must say, this part of the beach is horrid, and the carcass doesn't help. Eris (ErisField_0396): What do you even know about {#Emph}beaches{#Prev}, or carcasses? I've got my special Aspect of the Rail here, and {#Emph}all {#Prev}the sights and sounds and smells of the sea. So who needs {#Emph}you?! ErisBossAboutAres01 Eris (ErisField_0162): Just about everybody on Olympus giving you their best, huh? You must be {#Emph}very {#Prev}proud. The gods, they don't agree on much at all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3078): No they do not. Yet when the need arises, they can set their differences aside. Something to try with your own kin. Eris (ErisField_0163): You know who really gets what's going on up there? Ares. If anybody's brought {#Emph}that {#Prev}family together, it's the god of war. {#Emph}His {#Prev}cause even I can get behind! ErisBossAboutAres02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3079): If you admire Ares so much, know that he has lent me his aid; I have his blessing even now. Though I suppose you still won't be compelled to step aside? Eris (ErisField_0164): You suppose right! And say you {#Emph}do {#Prev}have Ares making up for all your weakness, it's probably because he wants this war to {#Emph}last {#Prev}and {#Emph}last! {#Prev}He can aid {#Emph}you{#Prev}; I can aid {#Emph}him. ErisBossAboutAres03 Eris (ErisField_0350): I can't believe Ares is helping {#Emph}you {#Prev}not me. I kept trying to get through to him, figured he'd hear me out, but it's too stormy on Olympus. Say, would you...? You know... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3264): You want me to ask the god of war to lend you his aid, to make my efforts to support him and his family in their near-hopeless battle against Typhon even more difficult? Eris (ErisField_0351): Quit with the {#Emph}sarcasm{#Prev}, Trouble! All I did was ask you for a favor {#Emph}once{#Prev}, but... you had to go and make an {#Emph}insult {#Prev}out of it. {#Emph}Fine! {#Prev}I can get the god of war's attention on my {#Emph}own! ErisBossAboutBecomingCloser01 Eris (ErisField_0383): Back to doing what we do! Nothing like trying to shoot you to pieces night after night like nothing happened, huh? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3527): I know I shouldn't be surprised that you're about to fight me as per usual, Eris, but... I held out hope you'd start to see me in a different light. So much for that? Eris (ErisField_0384): So much for that! And don't be so full of yourself. It's not like we bared our souls to one another! Not sure I even {#Emph}have {#Prev}one. Anyway, no deferential treatment from me here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3528): The part where you keep going out of your way to bar my passage to Olympus {#Emph}isn't {#Prev}what you would consider deferential treatment then? Eris (ErisField_0385): You know you {#Emph}do {#Prev}make a good point there, babe! But I'm not gonna dwell on it and just start shooting you, OK? ErisBossAboutCharon01 Eris (ErisField_0445): Done with your shopping finally, Trouble? Charon sure seems to have a lot in stock there on that fancy ship of his! Although he hasn't sold {#Emph}me {#Prev}anything. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4065): I doubt he ever would. Lord Charon's loyal to the realm. You're not. It's as simple as that, even if you are his sister. Eris (ErisField_0446): {#Emph}Loyal to the realm. {#Prev}At least I'm not a suck-up! Though if you {#Emph}like {#Prev}him so much, here's something you can moan and groan about. ErisBossAboutCirce01 Eris (ErisField_0171): Whoa, Trouble, you're {#Emph}huge! {#Prev}Like you and Nemmie had a child! Which, come to think of it, is just about the {#Emph}worst {#Prev}thing I've ever imagined. And I've imagined {#Emph}a lot. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3084): Then imagine what I'm about to do to you in this form, courtesy of Circe the Enchantress. Had you not been so delinquent, you could have learned from her yourself. Eris (ErisField_0172): Learned to become a {#Emph}freak{#Prev}, you mean? That's the difference between you and me: You need somebody to teach you {#Emph}everything{#Prev}, while {#Emph}I've {#Prev}got pure instinct! ErisBossAboutCirce02 Eris (ErisField_0173): {#Emph}Ah, hahaha{#Prev}, you're so {#Emph}tiny {#Prev}right now, babe! How {#Emph}cuuute. {#Prev}Old Circe must have done that to you, yeah? I've flown by her little island where she's doing all her lunatic experiments. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3085): You had so much promise as a student, Eris... even now you easily identified the work of an experienced enchantress. But only to spurn our craft. Eris (ErisField_0174): Your craft turns you into a walking joke! I'm just pointing it out. Well, whatever happens next, thanks for the laughs! ErisBossAboutConsequences01 Eris (ErisField_0048): You're tougher than you look, I'll give you that, Trouble. And I'll give you something {#Emph}else {#Prev}for what you did to me last time. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1923): The outcome of our prior meeting was the direct result of your provocation and hostility. Tonight may go even worse. Eris (ErisField_0049): Wait, you're telling me our choices have {#Emph}c-c-consequences...? C'mon{#Prev}, don't be so gullible. Anyway! I'm gonna open fire now. ErisBossAboutDeath01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3277): So what's it like, having been forcibly dragged back to hell this many times? At least you know where you truly belong. Eris (ErisField_0375): You and me {#Emph}both{#Prev}, babe. {#Emph}You're {#Prev}the one who's not supposed to {#Emph}be {#Prev}up here! As for getting dragged back {#Emph}down{#Prev}, it's no big deal. I can just fly on back! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3278): But as soon as your strength falters, the spirits of the dead shall take hold of you again. Many of them probably seek vengeance for something you did... Eris (ErisField_0376): Well, then they can have a {#Emph}piece {#Prev}of me and feel all {#Emph}better {#Prev}about themselves! After all, I've got {#Emph}so {#Prev}much to {#Emph}give! ErisBossAboutFishing01 Eris (ErisField_0449): One thing I'll say for this place, it's way easier to fish here than at the Crossroads. I almost feel {#Emph}sorry {#Prev}for you, having to use a rod like some kind of starving mortal. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4067): I thought you didn't care for fishing. If now you do, you ought have more respect for the traditional technique. Eris (ErisField_0450): Well then I guess that means I {#Emph}don't! {#Prev}But I was just about to shoot that fish swimming around right near the shore when you showed up. Now {#Emph}you {#Prev}get to be first! ErisBossAboutGoldenApples01 Eris (ErisField_0146): Give back the Golden Apple that you took from me last time, and I might just let you walk this once. What do you say? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1924): You mean the Golden Apple that you very likely {#Emph}stole? {#Prev}Supposedly they grow but in a single garden, and I highly doubt that such a place would let {#Emph}you {#Prev}in. Eris (ErisField_0147): Life starts to get a {#Emph}lot {#Prev}more interesting once you accept that you {#Emph}don't {#Prev}always need an invitation to show up. Fine! Keep the Apple, then. I've got a whole lot more... ErisBossAboutHarpies01 Eris (ErisField_0372): Too many Harpies around here, though they're all just a bunch of pushovers. They know who's the top bird and treat me like a {#Emph}goddess! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3276): You {#Emph}are {#Prev}a goddess, Eris. Although the Harpies aren't as quick to recognize my own divinity... Eris (ErisField_0373): Maybe they don't like you, since you don't have any wings? Although in your case, it could {#Emph}really {#Prev}be a lot of things... ErisBossAboutIcarus01 Eris (ErisField_0356): You know that wispy Shade-kid, what's-his-name...? {#Emph}Ick, Icky... Icarus! {#Prev}I've seen him stealing glances, flying around... {#Emph}copying {#Prev}me! Where'd he get the {#Emph}wings? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3268): Icarus assuredly is not copying you. This may come as a shock, but there are those attempting to be useful currently... rather than interfering with our plans. Eris (ErisField_0357): You think he's {#Emph}attempting to be useful? Pff{#Prev}, come {#Emph}on! {#Prev}He's just a little freak. Maybe he's into {#Emph}Harpies {#Prev}and is trying to get in with them... but then again, who cares! ErisBossAboutKeepsake01 Eris (ErisField_0175): Was that the ringing in my ears just now, or did I maybe hear a little Bell? {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, you brought along my {#Emph}Keepsake{#Prev}, haven't you! Think that thing's gonna help you {#Emph}here? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3086): If it bothers or confounds you the slightest bit, I'll consider it worthwhile. I know you can't so much as give a simple gift without some underhanded motive. Eris (ErisField_0176): While {#Emph}you {#Prev}give gifts with only perfectly pure thoughts bouncing around inside your big, targetable head! Come on. Nobody's like that, babe. Not even you. ErisBossAboutMistakes01 Eris (ErisField_0013): Another go? Can't always tell if you're stubborn, or just plain... {#Emph}you {#Prev}know. Not that it matters either way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1921): You're standing between me and my objective, Eris... or, floating. The point is, sooner or later, you'll come to understand that's a mistake. Eris (ErisField_0014): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, but we all make mistakes, right? Neither one of us would be here otherwise. So you ready now, or what? Let's have some {#Emph}fun. ErisBossAboutMorosKeepsake01 Eris (ErisField_0453): You must be {#Emph}really {#Prev}special to Moros if he gave you one of his shiny Pins! Maybe he thinks you won't make it {#Emph}without {#Prev}him! You {#Emph}look {#Prev}like someone who needs saving, babe. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4069): And what is that supposed to mean? I'll have you know Lord Moros offered me this Keepsake as a simple courtesy and nothing more. Eris (ErisField_0454): {#Emph}Uh huh, sure {#Prev}he did. You're both so dense sometimes, I swear! Now let's see if Lord Moros comes to your rescue... ErisBossAboutNemesisKeepsake01 Eris (ErisField_0451): {#Emph}Oh no{#Prev}, did you bring Nemmie's Evil Eye? Goes to show how much she really thinks of fairness, making you use {#Emph}that {#Prev}thing just to get me back! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4068): {#Emph}I {#Prev}made the choice to bring the Eye, not Nemesis. Although she {#Emph}is {#Prev}Retribution Incarnate, so I'd like to think she would've been supportive had she known. Eris (ErisField_0452): Doesn't take a genius to put {#Emph}that {#Prev}one together, babe. {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}her little sister! The {#Emph}runt {#Prev}of Nyx's litter, the {#Emph}smallest {#Prev}and {#Emph}easiest {#Prev}to push around. But I always push back... {#Emph}or {#Prev}push first! ErisBossAboutNyxAspect01 Eris (ErisField_0381): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, you look like {#Emph}Nyx! {#Prev}That's still the Black Coat thing you're wearing, isn't it? Except you {#Emph}did {#Prev}something... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3315): This is Nyx's own Aspect of Xinth, which deemed me worthy to be its bearer. Perhaps so I could discipline you in your mother's stead. Eris (ErisField_0382): {#Emph}Discipline me? {#Prev}Babe, I used to fight with Nyx all the time, but not like {#Emph}this. {#Prev}This is {#Emph}way {#Prev}better! Come on, Mother, give me the best you've got. ErisBossAboutObstacles01 Eris (ErisField_0011): Come on, {#Emph}really? {#Prev}I thought I made myself real clear with you before, but here you are like nothing happened, and it's just another night! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1920): This {#Emph}is {#Prev}just another night to me, Eris. So you stand with Chronos against the gods, so what? You're just another obstacle on my path. Eris (ErisField_0012): Hate to break it to you, Trouble: Obstacles are things you're supposed to {#Emph}avoid! {#Prev}But in {#Emph}this {#Prev}channel, you're going to run into me {#Emph}every time. ErisBossAboutPolyphemus01 Eris (ErisField_0443): What's with that Cyclops over by the Ephyra docks? He almost hit me with a boulder as I flew over here a couple nights ago! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4064): That's Polyphemus. He's blind so there's no need to take his boulder-throwing as a personal affront. He was probably aiming at me. Eris (ErisField_0444): Oh, {#Emph}that's {#Prev}a relief! I took a bunch of his sheep, you don't wanna know why, and was starting to worry he caught on. I get the livestock, {#Emph}you {#Prev}get the heat! ErisBossAboutProblems01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3082): I must say, especially for someone who claims to thrive on pure disorder, you {#Emph}are {#Prev}very punctual and consistent, Eris. Every time I've crossed the Rift, you've been right here. Eris (ErisField_0169): No need to rub it in! Look, I know this is becoming a problem, but I swear, I can get it under control. Just promise me you won't tell anybody? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3083): You want me to promise not to tell anybody that you're punctual and consistent. Why, because you'd hate for them to start to think better of you for a change? Eris (ErisField_0170): Um, {#Emph}yeah! {#Prev}Although, since when do I even care what anybody thinks of me...? That's not who I am! It's all because you're ruining it for me! ErisBossAboutProblems02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4060): You have yet to be late for our clashes even once — no matter how quickly I reach these shores, you're here first. But your goal is to be {#Emph}less {#Prev}dependable, not {#Emph}more? Eris (ErisField_0437): My goal is {#Emph}never {#Prev}to have a goal in my life! It's just, I'm going through some sort of phase I think. All the competition with you and Nemmie must have got to me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4061): And what is it you think {#Emph}we're {#Prev}competing for? First to be forced back to the depths of the Underworld? Eris (ErisField_0438): Never said it's you I'm competing with, babe. And you know what I realized about this whole thing we've got going? Discipline and Disorder go hand in hand. ErisBossAboutProblems03 Eris (ErisField_0439): Maybe it's not such a bad thing that I keep showing up on time. {#Emph}You can always count on Strife! {#Prev}That's kind of got a ring to it, right? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4062): If you wish to be dependable, that means not just showing up on time, but making yourself useful in some way. Though I suppose that's probably a step too far. Eris (ErisField_0440): I can't believe you almost got me thinking there was something wrong with me, and just because I {#Emph}care! {#Prev}But don't worry... I'll make sure {#Emph}something's {#Prev}wrong at least! ErisBossAboutPrometheus01 Eris (ErisField_0165): Wait so {#Emph}Prometheus {#Prev}is supposed to be in charge where the real action is? Thought he was busy getting pecked to the brink of death over and over by some {#Emph}bird. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3080): I can attest he and that bird have come to terms. Come on, have pity on me, Eris. I have to deal with fire and feathers here, and again at the top of Olympus. Eris (ErisField_0166): That is a pretty good appeal, babe... {#Emph}but{#Prev}, unfortunately for you, I don't have a heart. So, come on! Here comes your first helping of fire and feathers for the night. ErisBossAboutPurpose01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3076): Always ready and eager for the fight. I've never met someone so driven, yet so lacking in any purpose whatsoever. Eris (ErisField_0157): I'm about to blow your mind, you ready, babe? No purpose {#Emph}is {#Prev}a purpose. Think about it! And now I'm gonna blow away the rest of you, too. ErisBossAboutRandomness01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3267): Why is it that you're putting all your effort into stopping me? You're Strife; you should be unpredictable! Perhaps lash out at the forces of Chronos, for a change of pace... Eris (ErisField_0355): What makes you think I {#Emph}don't? {#Prev}You're not the center of the world, babe! And I couldn't be {#Emph}more {#Prev}unpredictable! Don't know why I keep running into you, though. It's so {#Emph}random! ErisBossAboutRavenFamiliar01 Eris (ErisField_0358): {#Emph}Aww, loook! {#Prev}You brought an ugly little bird with you! Close as you're ever gonna get to wings like {#Emph}these{#Prev}, babe. But you have to walk everywhere. No {#Emph}wonder {#Prev}you're so unhappy! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3269): I am {#Emph}not {#Prev}unhappy. And I took a boat most of the way here, thanks! Multiple boats! And I'm not about to let you insult Raki to my face, or his. Eris (ErisField_0359): {#Emph}Babe{#Prev}, come {#Emph}on.{#Prev} That bird is so pale it's probably {#Emph}dying! {#Prev}Here, maybe I can put it out of its misery. And {#Emph}you{#Prev}, too. ErisBossAboutRelationship01 Eris (ErisField_0155): You think just 'cause you've been cozying up to me at the Crossroads that I'm gonna let up on you here? Well you're wrong, babe! I know what you're trying to do. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3075): You know what I'm trying to do because I've plainly and repeatedly explained myself. And yet, you still pretend as though there's something much more complicated going on. Eris (ErisField_0156): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, and now you're trying to guilt-trip me to top it off. Well I don't need to take that kind of guff from you. Nobody pushes me around, get it? ErisBossAboutRelationship02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4367): When last we spoke you said whatever's wrong with you couldn't be fixed. What makes you say such things? Eris (Eris_0260): Appreciate all the concern but I just had a little moment that you're making a big deal. We're all a little broken, right? Melinoe (Melinoe_4368): Perhaps so. But we can better ourselves through effort and discipline, as much as we can muster. Or, we could endlessly get in each other's way. Eris (Eris_0261): The thing is, I don't want to have to {#Emph}try. {#Prev}Not with {#Emph}this{#Prev}, not with {#Emph}you. {#Prev}I want things to be {#Emph}easy{#Prev}, you want things to be {#Emph}hard. {#Prev}But at least we really {#Emph}get {#Prev}each other now! ErisBossAboutRelaxation01 Eris (ErisField_0015): Isn't this {#Emph}great{#Prev}, Trouble? Now before I shoot you all to hell, I just want us both to take a moment to {#Emph}breathe, relax... really {#Prev}just appreciate all that we have. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1922): These senseless fights with you... I cannot rightly say I appreciate them at all. Though, at least the Moon is beautiful tonight? Eris (ErisField_0016): {#Emph}That's {#Prev}the spirit! Now how 'bout we stain that pale glow of hers in blood and ichor, huh? And we'll let the sea drink its fill, for good measure! ErisBossAboutSelene01 Eris (ErisField_0447): Moonlight sure is guiding you tonight! Too bad Selene can't just whisk you over to Olympus on that chariot of hers. Why {#Emph}can't {#Prev}she, anyway? I thought she was your friend! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4066): Perhaps Selene doesn't easily abandon her responsibilities, although I know that concept may be difficult for you to comprehend. Care to whisk me to Olympus in her stead? Eris (ErisField_0448): I'll have to pass. Not like these wings could lift the both of us! Although I {#Emph}do {#Prev}have something here for you instead. ErisBossAboutShrine01 Eris (ErisField_0360): Sure is dark out there tonight, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}Even the dead sailors on the Rift looked a little spooked. Maybe something's up...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3270): There's {#Emph}Fear {#Prev}in the air. You've defied the will of Night too often, Eris. This time I'm not here merely for Olympus, but for {#Emph}you. Eris (ErisField_0361): You're telling me {#Emph}Nyx {#Prev}put you up to this? {#Emph}Pff, right! {#Prev}She never cared about me, and she's {#Emph}not {#Prev}about to start now. ErisBossAboutShrine02 Eris (ErisField_0362): {#Emph}Fear in the air{#Prev}, you said, last time it was like this. Maybe you really {#Emph}are {#Prev}doing some of Nyx's dirty work! In which case, you're {#Emph}way {#Prev}dumber than I thought... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3271): You were invited and expected to be part of the Unseen. But you turned your back not only on us, but your mother, and the Underworld itself. A price is to be paid for that. Eris (ErisField_0363): And you've come to collect! Too bad I've got nothing to give. Unless you take payment in these little {#Emph}metal {#Prev}things that the Rail chews up and spits out. ErisBossAboutShrine03 Eris (ErisField_0368): {#Emph}Whew{#Prev}, this is my kind of {#Emph}night! {#Prev}Real feeding frenzy out there, like everything is just... {#Emph}way... more. {#Prev}No idea what's going on but I {#Emph}like {#Prev}it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3274): You never gave any consideration to the Oath of the Unseen, yet remain one of its main beneficiaries. Perhaps your mother Nyx did something for you after all. Eris (ErisField_0369): You mean these occasional evenings of complete and total depravity are meant to make up for everything Nyx {#Emph}didn't {#Prev}do...? Well I guess it's a start! ErisBossAboutSuit01 Eris (ErisField_0158): OK what in the hell is {#Emph}that {#Prev}you've got on, babe? You could use a change of style, sure, but {#Emph}this {#Prev}is {#Emph}way {#Prev}out-there. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3077): Oh, you must be referring to the Black Coat. You're right that it's not necessarily my preference for attire, but it's not primarily for show. You'll understand in a moment. Eris (ErisField_0159): Wait I remember the Black Coat! So {#Emph}that's {#Prev}what it looks like? And I thought the Adamant Rail looked ridiculous! Nyx had {#Emph}such {#Prev}bad taste. ErisBossAboutTyphon01 Eris (ErisField_0167): So if you get past me again, what's next for you, Trouble? I've never seen someone go through so {#Emph}much {#Prev}just to see their family. Most of us have to try to stay away from ours! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3081): That terrifying cloud encompassing the summit of Olympus conceals Typhon, in case you haven't heard. I'm surprised you haven't gone to see him for yourself! Anyway Prometheus is next, {#Emph}then {#Prev}Typhon. But you first. Eris (ErisField_0168): You're telling me you're here to pick bigger and bigger fights? {#Emph}Baaabe! {#Prev}I knew we had something going on, but we have more in common than I thought! C'mon, let's go. ErisBossAboutTyphon02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3265): You're really never going to get out of my way, are you, Eris? You'd rather Typhon lay Mount Olympus to ruin. Although at that point I suppose this war would end. Eris (ErisField_0352): It sure would! But after that things might not get too orderly for a while, and... who knows what Typhon does from {#Emph}there? {#Prev}Think of the {#Emph}possibilities{#Prev}, babe! ErisBossAboutTyphon03 Eris (ErisField_0353): What happened up there on Olympus last night, babe? Looked like the storm cleared for a little while. Almost flew in for a looksee, but... I don't like the cold! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3266): What happened was, after I got past {#Emph}you{#Prev}, I eventually climbed all the way up to the summit where I sent the Father of All Monsters Typhon crashing to the Earth. Eris (ErisField_0354): You {#Emph}did? Whoa{#Prev}, you must be really {#Emph}strong{#Prev}, or Typhon must be really {#Emph}weak! {#Prev}And since you're back already then I guess whatever happened didn't mean a thing! ErisBossAboutTyphonDeath01 Eris (ErisField_0441): Not seen you here in a while, babe. And what happened to Typhon, anyway? There's been no sign of him at all! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4063): Typhon had to leave reality as we know it. Though, sorry, Eris. I suppose you didn't even have a chance to introduce yourself to him, did you? Eris (ErisField_0442): No I didn't, though if he's so easy to get rid of, maybe it's for the best! So what are you going to Olympus for, anyway? It better not be some sort of {#Emph}feast. {#Prev}Because I {#Emph}wasn't {#Prev}invited! ErisBossAboutUnderworld01 Eris (ErisField_0377): I almost thought you weren't going to show up! Leave me hanging yet another night, I mean... why {#Emph}not? {#Prev}You're so {#Emph}inconsiderate {#Prev}sometimes! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3279): You're telling me while I've been in the Underworld, you've just been waiting here night after night? What am I, supposed to tell you where I'm going in advance? Eris (ErisField_0378): That's what a real friend would do, so {#Emph}no{#Prev}, I guess not! Maybe you shouldn't come back. What do I care? ErisBossCloseMatch01 Eris (ErisField_0379): You got so {#Emph}close {#Prev}to beating me last time, babe! I could feel my wings growing heavy... like the Underworld was calling me {#Emph}home. {#Prev}But I'm totally fine now! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3280): For the moment. You'll soon feel the Underworld calling you home once more. And you'll go, whether you like it or not. Eris (ErisField_0380): {#Emph}Ooh{#Prev}, I {#Emph}love {#Prev}a good threat! Well then, let's see who's going home {#Emph}first{#Prev}, huh? Maybe it'll be just like {#Emph}before... ErisBossFirstMeeting Eris (ErisField_0002): Heya, sailor! What a coincidence, running into you like this {#Emph}so {#Prev}far away from home. Where you headed? Maybe I could give you a lift. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1806): You know perfectly well where I'm headed. And I can get there on my own, thanks. Eris (ErisField_0003): You sure about that? Because it looks like you've been having a {#Emph}pretty {#Prev}rough night so far. And it's only going to get worse. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1807): I don't care for your insinuations here, Eris. Speak plain, or get out of my way. Eris (ErisField_0004): Oh I'll speak plain: You're boring. I don't {#Emph}like {#Prev}you. And you don't get to order me around...! ErisBossLowHealth01 Eris (ErisField_0370): {#Emph}Pff. {#Prev}You took {#Emph}forever {#Prev}getting here! Only to turn up practically as dead as the crews of all those {#Emph}ships {#Prev}headed this way! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3275): Apologies for any inconvenience, Eris. Fortunately there's a quite-refreshing fountain not too far from here, which should do wonders for my injuries. Eris (ErisField_0371): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, then you're so {#Emph}close! {#Prev}Maybe you could make a break for it. The pathway out of here is right behind me... ErisBossLowHealth02 Eris (ErisField_0374): {#Emph}Aww{#Prev}, looks like those mean old sailors back there took a couple pieces out of you along your way! But don't worry, babe. {#Emph}I'll {#Prev}end your suffering! ErisBossMiscStart01 Eris (ErisField_0005): Already locked and loaded here, so make your move, Trouble. ErisBossMiscStart02 Eris (ErisField_0006): No going back to how things used to be, no matter {#Emph}what you do. ErisBossMiscStart03 Eris (ErisField_0007): Ready to give it your best shot here, Trouble? Because {#Emph}I {#Prev}sure am! ErisBossMiscStart04 Eris (ErisField_0008): Everybody always trying to make a difference. Nobody pulling it off. ErisBossMiscStart05 Eris (ErisField_0009): Just when I was starting to feel a little bored, {#Emph}along comes Trouble! ErisBossMiscStart06 Eris (ErisField_0010): Nothing's gonna change! Except the number of holes you got in you. ErisBossMiscStart07 Eris (ErisField_0130): This is for your own good, Trouble. Mine, too! ErisBossMiscStart08 Eris (ErisField_0131): Uh-uh-{#Emph}uh! {#Prev}The trail to the mountain's {#Emph}closed{#Prev}, in case you hadn't heard the latest, babe. ErisBossMiscStart09 Eris (ErisField_0132): Back for another round? Good, 'cause I've got {#Emph}thousands. ErisBossMiscStart10 Eris (ErisField_0133): Look at us, all settled into our routine. I {#Emph}hate {#Prev}routines! ErisBossMiscStart11 Eris (ErisField_0134): Hate to do this to you, babe, but... oh, who am I kidding? ErisBossMiscStart12 Eris (ErisField_0135): You look lost, Trouble. Let me help you find your way back home. ErisBossMiscStart13 Eris (ErisField_0136): Don't need a reason to get in your face. But I just happen to like it! ErisBossMiscStart14 Eris (ErisField_0137): So, ready to get shot all the way back to hell, Trouble? ErisBossMiscStart15 Eris (ErisField_0138): Hope you're not sea-sick, babe. 'Cause {#Emph}you {#Prev}are about to get {#Emph}rocked. ErisBossMiscStart16 Eris (ErisField_0139): If only you could fly, babe. But you can't! And I can't let you out of here. ErisBossMiscStart17 Eris (ErisField_0140): What we're about to do, babe, I can do {#Emph}all night... {#Prev}after {#Emph}night{#Prev}, after {#Emph}night. ErisBossMiscStart18 Eris (ErisField_0141): So maybe I can't kill you, Trouble, but I sure can try. ErisBossMiscStart19 Eris (ErisField_0141): So maybe I can't kill you, Trouble, but I sure can try. ErisBossMiscStart20 Eris (ErisField_0142): How many times am I gonna have to shoot you down, here, babe? ErisBossMiscStart21 Eris (ErisField_0143): You're {#Emph}sick{#Prev}, babe! Losing over and over and {#Emph}over{#Prev}, and still you keep on? ErisBossMiscStart22 Eris (ErisField_0144): Can't always stop you, but I can {#Emph}always {#Prev}slow you down. ErisBossMiscStart23 Eris (ErisField_0145): I'm a good sport, Trouble. Win or lose, it's all the same to me. ErisBossMiscStart24 Eris (ErisField_0148): {#Emph}Finally! {#Prev}I can only stand here contemplating the water for so long, you know! ErisBossMiscStart25 Eris (ErisField_0149): Never thought I was the type to get into any sort of regular routine, but {#Emph}now {#Prev}look at me, babe! ErisBossMiscStart26 Eris (ErisField_0150): You don't {#Emph}really {#Prev}have to climb all the way up that mountain back there, do you, Trouble? ErisBossMiscStart27 Eris (ErisField_0151): Let's just have our fun, babe! I don't have all night, and neither do you. ErisBossMiscStart28 Eris (ErisField_0152): Difference between you and me is I don't care {#Emph}one bit {#Prev}whether I win or lose. ErisBossMiscStart29 Eris (ErisField_0153): You {#Emph}like {#Prev}this, don't you, Trouble? You don't have to tell me. Just admit it to yourself! ErisBossMiscStart30 Eris (ErisField_0154): I hate to be so predictable, but I love making you mad, so... it's kind of a wash! ErisBossMiscStart31 Eris (ErisField_0026): Don't take this personally, babe, but some things we just have to do, you know? ErisBossMiscStart32 Eris (ErisField_0027): While I'd love to slow you down with a delightful chat, I think {#Emph}this {#Prev}will get the job done {#Emph}even better. ErisBossMiscStart33 Eris (ErisField_0028): Look, {#Emph}heh! {#Prev}I know it's been a little rocky between us, but... we'll probably look back at this and laugh! ErisBossMiscStart34 Eris (ErisField_0029): You don't look so happy to see me, babe! And I haven't even {#Emph}done {#Prev}anything yet... ErisBossMiscStart35 Eris (ErisField_0030): {#Emph}Ungh! {#Prev}This isn't working...! Why won't you stop? What's it going to take, {#Emph}huh? ErisBossMiscStart36 Eris (ErisField_0031): You just don't know when to quit, do you, Trouble? {#Emph}Fine! ErisBossMiscStart37 Eris (ErisField_0457): Look what {#Emph}I {#Prev}got back for some strange reason I can't figure out, Trouble! ErisBossMiscStart38 Eris (ErisField_0458): I like the old Rail fine, but this {#Emph}new {#Prev}one's even better! Though, maybe not for you. ErisBossMiscStart39 Eris (ErisField_0459): What a {#Emph}night! {#Prev}Got my new Aspect of the Rail, {#Emph}and {#Prev}a juicy target to try it on. ErisBossMiscStart40 Eris (ErisField_0460): Let's work together, babe, to figure out what this new Aspect of the Rail can do! ErisBossMiscStart41 Eris (ErisField_0461): No fooling around, Trouble! I may not be Misery, but I'm the next best thing! ErisBossMiscStart42 Eris (ErisField_0462): I {#Emph}may {#Prev}kind of like you, babe, but that won't stop me from doing what needs to be done. ErisBossPostTrueEnding01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4070): Now that my brother's back, you still have no intention to return the Rail of Adamant, do you? Even though it was in his possession prior to all this. Eris (ErisField_0455): What makes you think he has greater right to it than {#Emph}me, huh{#Prev}, babe? He wasn't even using it five-sixths of the time! Just another weapon to him, but it's {#Emph}my {#Prev}one-and-only. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4071): How touching! I trust your mother shall make sure it all works out, seeing as she's back as well. I wonder if she's always known you'd get your hands on that thing. Eris (ErisField_0456): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}she {#Emph}has! {#Prev}Because this isn't my first time! Then I kind of lost it at one point, and your brother got his hands on it instead... but I {#Emph}always {#Prev}take what's mine. ErisChat01 Eris (Eris_0004): Think you might have missed a spot back there, Trouble? ErisChat02 Eris (Eris_0005): Just keep at it, whatever it is you think you've got to prove! ErisChat03 Eris (Eris_0006): What's the big rush? We've got all the time in the world! ErisChat04 Eris (Eris_0007): You know this whole place is turning into a real dump... ErisChat05 Eris (Eris_0008): Real shame what's been happening between us lately, Trouble. ErisChat06 Eris (Eris_0009): See Nemmie around, tell her I {#Emph}really {#Prev}wanted to talk to her, OK? ErisChat07 Eris (Eris_0010): Life sure moves fast, even for deathless goddesses, {#Emph}huh{#Prev}, Trouble? ErisChat08 Eris (Eris_0011): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, don't give me that look. {#Emph}I {#Prev}belong here just as much as {#Emph}you. ErisChat09 Eris (Eris_0012): You're not getting anywhere, babe. None of us are! ErisChat10 Eris (Eris_0013): How about you mind your own business, Trouble, and lemme mind mine. ErisChat11 Eris (Eris_0014): Uh-oh, she's here! I'd better fly away and hide! ErisChat12 Eris (Eris_0015): Thought I'd drop in again and check up on everything, y'know? ErisChat13 Eris (Eris_0016): You must be {#Emph}really {#Prev}making a difference out there, huh? ErisChat14 Eris (Eris_0017): {#Emph}Whew{#Prev}, it's all just been a little much lately, y'know? ErisChat15 Eris (Eris_0018): Move along there, Trouble, I don't really want to talk to you right now. ErisChat16 Eris (Eris_0019): Come {#Emph}on{#Prev}, babe! You know rumors gonna fly if they catch us like this! ErisChat17 Eris (Eris_0020): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, looks like {#Emph}you {#Prev}just woke up! Couldn't wait to see me again, huh? ErisChat18 Eris (Eris_0021): Got my eye on you, Trouble. So you better keep your nose clean. ErisChat19 Eris (Eris_0022): All this stress, it isn't getting to you, is it, babe? ErisChat20 Eris (Eris_0023): Why talk to me? Do what you want! {#Emph}Nobody {#Prev}cares! ErisCrying.VoiceLines Eris (Eris_0254): {#Emph} {#Prev}Oh, it's you... Melinoe (Melinoe_4361): Hey... ErisFirstMeeting Eris (Eris_0168): D'you miss me, Trouble? Thought I'd flit on over to your neck of the woods again, since I'm still {#Emph}welcome here and safe {#Prev}and everything. What you been up to lately? Melinoe (Melinoe_2419): You know, not much really, Eris! So, what brings you back? For a while there, I thought maybe you really were gone for good this time. Eris (Eris_0169): Hate to disappoint, but I just couldn't stay away! Especially not with everything we're in the middle of right now. {#Emph}You {#Prev}have been {#Emph}real {#Prev}busy lately, {#Emph}huh? Melinoe (Melinoe_2653): Whatever it is you heard, please keep it confidential. ErisFirstMeeting_B Eris (Eris_0165): Miss me, Trouble? Thought I'd flit on over for a bit again, and see how everybody's doing, since I'm {#Emph}welcome here and safe {#Prev}still, aren't I? Though it {#Emph}has {#Prev}been a little while. Melinoe (Melinoe_3122): It's not been long enough. Much as I wished you'd grown past your childishness, Eris, I can't imagine you've returned for any reason other than to keep it up. Eris (Eris_0166): What, you can't imagine I just want to visit my big sister, if not you? I get it, you're still mad I slowed you down before, but... I will not do that again, I swear. So truce? Melinoe (Melinoe_3213): We'll see. Eris (Eris_0167): Truce! ErisFishing01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4284): How about we head down to the fishing pier a bit? Not like it's far out of the way or anything, and it's a change of pace. Eris (Eris_0217): {#Emph}Sure{#Prev}, I'm easy, babe! Except when I'm not, but right now I could go for {#Emph}anything! {#Prev}Even stand around for fish to bite! Eris (Eris_0218): ...Know what I hate more than just about anything else? Having to be perfectly quiet while standing perfectly still. What have I done to deserve this {#Emph}torture?! Melinoe (Melinoe_4285): I know it's difficult, which is part of the reason to do it from time to time... just concentrate on being who you are and being here. A fishing pier isn't strictly required. Eris (Eris_0219): Being focused in on the moment, come {#Emph}on! {#Prev}How can you not {#Emph}always {#Prev}be doing that? At least in other moments I'd be doing what I {#Emph}want. {#Prev}Not caving to your every demand! Melinoe (Melinoe_4286): If you don't find anything worthwhile in this, you don't have to do it again. But since we're here, why not find out if we can catch something? Eris (Eris_0220): All {#Emph}you {#Prev}are gonna catch is my {#Emph}fist {#Prev}in your {#Emph}face {#Prev}if you keep on mouthing off to me, babe! Though wait, {#Emph}shut up! {#Prev}Think I just saw something swim by! Eris (Eris_0237): Babe I had a {#Emph}totally {#Prev}amazing time, I {#Emph}swear! {#Prev}And, you don't stink at {#Emph}all! Melinoe (Melinoe_4692): Nor do you. ErisFishingDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3554): The fishing pier's wide open as you can see... any impulse to make use of it a while? Eris (Eris_0095): {#Emph}Mmm{#Prev}, a trip to the fishing-hole involves a lot more being still and quiet than I think I can handle right now, thanks. ErisFoughtAgainstHer01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3124): You traitor! How dare you stand against me and our cause? And, of all the nerve to show your face again here! You'll be cast out for what you've done! Eris (Eris_0117): Sorry, babe, but I'm not going anywhere. Thank Nyx and Hecate and their {#Emph}unbreakable oaths! {#Prev}Besides, you got me all wrong. Melinoe (Melinoe_3125): Oh? Perhaps I merely mistook you for one of Nyx's {#Emph}other {#Prev}daughters who readily shot at me using the Rail of Adamant! Eris (Eris_0118): No, that was me all right, and I had a {#Emph}great {#Prev}time! But I take umbrage with the {#Emph}traitor {#Prev}thing. Think I made clear I wasn't on your side. Melinoe (Melinoe_3126): Then you serve Chronos! Eris (Eris_0119): {#Emph}Ahahaha{#Prev}, sure! ErisFoughtAgainstHer02 Eris (Eris_0120): {#Emph}Hoo{#Prev}, babe, you know what? You put up more of a fight out there than I figured! The Rail was so hot to the touch, I could hardly {#Emph}stand {#Prev}it! Melinoe (Melinoe_3127): Pleased to be of entertainment for your benefit. Is that all this is to you, then? You jeopardize our continued existence, just for a cheap thrill? Eris (Eris_0121): Don't go acting like there wasn't part of you that felt a little {#Emph}thrill {#Prev}out there, yourself. And now that you've had a taste, you want {#Emph}more{#Prev}, don't you? Melinoe (Melinoe_3128): I want you out of these Crossroads, and out of my blasted path. Eris (Eris_0122): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, too bad we can't have it all... ErisFoughtAgainstHer03 Melinoe (Melinoe_3129): Is this what you want, Eris? To have our aimless clashes, only then to sneer at one another here, again and again? Such a worthy cause. Eris (Eris_0123): Who are {#Emph}you {#Prev}to say what makes a worthy cause? 'Cause, {#Emph}yeah! {#Prev}I happen to be quite all right with {#Emph}everything! {#Prev}It's genuinely been a real blast! Melinoe (Melinoe_3130): You're unbelievable. Eris (Eris_0124): Thanks, Trouble! ErisGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2690): Look, I... do want you to feel welcome here and safe. It's not just something that we say. May this gift of Nectar show my words are true. Eris (Eris_0067): {#Emph}Wow... {#Prev}made with real Golden Apples! {#Emph}Thanks{#Prev}, babe. You're the only one who's made a real effort to bring me into the fold! Say, why don't you take this? It isn't much, but I've been holding onto it, in case I found a friend... ErisGift02 Eris (Eris_0088): But, you already got me one of these. Don't you have anything else? {#Emph}Mmhmhmhm{#Prev}, only messing with you, babe! I'll get you back for this sometime, OK? Melinoe (Melinoe_2801): Please, don't... I mean, I just wanted you to have it since I know you have a taste for this stuff, but it's been harder to come by. Anyway...! ErisGift03 Eris (Eris_0089): Babe, no one ever gets me anything like this! Except the last couple of times you got me the exact same thing. But oh, I feel so bad I don't have anything for {#Emph}you! Melinoe (Melinoe_2802): It's only a gift, to make you feel a little better, not worse! Don't mention it, just... you enjoy. But, please don't leave the empty bottle on the ground. Eris (Eris_0158): {#Emph}Ehh... ErisGift04 Eris (Eris_0090): Just had to see my reaction to another one of these, huh? You say it's only a gift, but you're {#Emph}probably {#Prev}keeping {#Emph}meticulous {#Prev}track of every Nectar you dole out. Hoping whoever {#Emph}gets {#Prev}one's gonna like you just a little more each time. Melinoe (Melinoe_2803): Congratulations on making this weird, Eris... Fine, you figured me out! I'm {#Emph}desperate {#Prev}for your approval and affection. Yours and everyone's! Is {#Emph}that {#Prev}what you think? Eris (Eris_0091): You said it, babe, not me. Now, come off it. Though, if you can keep a secret...? I {#Emph}do {#Prev}like you just a little more, I think. ErisGift05 Eris (Eris_0203): You know I've tried brewing Nectar myself. Got most of the key ingredients, except my batches never tasted right! Not like the stuff you get {#Emph}your {#Prev}hands on. Melinoe (Melinoe_4288): Nectar's always best when it's a gift. Ever had somebody else give yours a try? Perhaps it's better than you think. Eris (Eris_0204): Well, {#Emph}no{#Prev}, because... for that I'd need a {#Emph}friend. {#Prev}Though I {#Emph}could {#Prev}always {#Emph}trick {#Prev}somebody into drinking it... Melinoe (Melinoe_4289): {#Emph}Eris! ErisGift06 Eris (Eris_0205): Right when you trotted over to me here, I wished you'd bring another Nectar, since I'm out. And, {#Emph}lo and behold! {#Prev}It's like you're a {#Emph}mind-reader... {#Prev}or a {#Emph}dream-weaver! Melinoe (Melinoe_4290): Advanced techniques I haven't mastered yet. Besides, pure intuition still is our most powerful tool in cases such as this! I simply had a feeling you were up for another bottle. Eris (Eris_0206): Way to make it sound like I'm some big experiment for you! Keep {#Emph}poking {#Prev}and {#Emph}prodding {#Prev}and eventually you'll get through my defenses and see the real {#Emph}me? {#Prev}Well this is {#Emph}it. {#Prev}And you know {#Emph}what? {#Prev}I don't want your Nectar anymore. Melinoe (Melinoe_4291): Including the one I just gave you? Eris (Eris_0207): No I'll keep that one. ErisGift07 Melinoe (Melinoe_4476): You said you didn't want my Nectar anymore but said nothing of Ambrosia, Eris, so... what do you say we visit the taverna once again? Eris (Eris_0262): Oh I might visit the taverna, thanks! Though this time I'll be doing it alone. Don't take this the wrong way, but... I don't think we should be seen together anymore. Melinoe (Melinoe_4477): What, because you're concerned some baseless rumors will begin to spread? I thought Strife Incarnate wasn't supposed to care what anybody thought. Eris (Eris_0263): It's for your own good. You're the one who's got a reputation to uphold. Really doesn't take much for me to live up to mine. I can just tell you to get out of my {#Emph}face! ErisGift08 Melinoe (Melinoe_4478): You sure you won't come with me to the taverna anymore? Here's some Ambrosia for you either way. You'll know from its flavor that my intentions are true. Eris (Eris_0264): Yeah, well! Not if I never {#Emph}try {#Prev}it! What if I just smash the bottle on the ground right here? What would you say to {#Emph}that? Melinoe (Melinoe_4479): I'd probably just offer you another. You get on my nerves all the time; Nemesis herself would say it's only fair that I occasionally get on yours. Eris (Eris_0265): {#Emph}Occasionally? {#Prev}Babe, you've been on my {#Emph}nerves {#Prev}for basically the whole time I've been back. I'm not falling for your tricks! Melinoe (Melinoe_4480): What tricks...? ErisGift09 Melinoe (Melinoe_4481): For your stockpile of Ambrosia, Strife. Whether you choose to partake of it at the taverna with me, or someone else, or in a quiet moment on your own. Eris (Eris_0266): You should know better than to mess with me like this. You know {#Emph}exactly {#Prev}what I am. I happen to kind of like you, but... I can make your life {#Emph}so {#Prev}miserable, you don't even know. Melinoe (Melinoe_4482): Perhaps it's your own influence on me but I'm prepared to take my chances. Why else would I keep speaking to you here? As part of some elaborate jest? Eris (Eris_0267): I don't {#Emph}know {#Prev}why, but the nicer you act with me, the {#Emph}stupider {#Prev}I think you are, and the more {#Emph}suspicious {#Prev}I get! And you've been acting {#Emph}real nice. {#Prev}This whole taverna thing, would you just... ask me {#Emph}normally {#Prev}next time?! Melinoe (Melinoe_4483): Can I get that Ambrosia back at least? Eris (Eris_0268): No! ErisGiftDecline01 Eris (Eris_0068): You know I can't accept this, now. Not after everything that's {#Emph}happened {#Prev}between us. Let's just... move on with our lives? Melinoe (Melinoe_2692): {#Emph}Huh? {#Prev}And, what exactly happened between us, would you say, if you had to summarize...? You're just... mocking me as usual, aren't you... Eris (Eris_0069): Just {#Emph} {#Prev}have a good life! ErisGrantsCurse01 Eris (ErisField_0017): {#Emph}You're {#Prev}a long way from the Crossroads, Trouble! So, this is where the real action is, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}Weren't you supposed to still be practicing? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1698): Things took a turn, Eris...! You know how it goes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some urgent business to attend to. Eris (ErisField_0018): Always in such a rush! I'd really hate to slow you down, though let's hang out sometime, OK? Have a great night. ErisGrantsCurse02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1699): Here to set another curse on me, Eris? For all your {#Emph}idiosyncrasies{#Prev}, I never took you for a traitor. Eris (ErisField_0020): I'm not, {#Emph}I swear! {#Prev}It's just... {#Emph}ugh{#Prev}, you'll never understand. I wanted this to be a {#Emph}special moment{#Prev}, but you had to go and {#Emph}ruin {#Prev}it! ErisGrantsCurse03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1700): You again. What, are you concerned my task just isn't difficult enough? Going a bit too swimmingly? Eris (ErisField_0021): Actually {#Emph}yes{#Prev}, I was a little worried about that. You got past the {#Emph}Sirens! {#Prev}What next, you'll go kill Chronos, and then what? Come on, babe. Let's not do anything rash. ErisGrantsCurse04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1701): Out of my way, Eris! I won't be wasting any further breath on you while you perpetuate this nonsense. Eris (ErisField_0022): You never understood me, Trouble. Fine! You don't have to. Just remember that I'm doing this for your own good. And actually, mine too! ErisGrantsCurse05 Eris (ErisField_0023): What's all the commotion, anyway, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}Chronos started bashing on Olympus again, sure. But it's not like you have to go after him now, do you? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1702): Believe me, I'd much rather stay and chitchat with you than sully my hands in Titan blood. But you have a choice, Eris. You can help me finish this, rather than hinder me. Eris (ErisField_0024): You know, babe... when you're right, you're {#Emph}right. {#Prev}You've given me a lot to chew on. Now you chew on {#Emph}this. ErisGrantsCurse06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1925): What are you doing here in Tartarus? There's no way you could have access to this place, unless... Eris (ErisField_0025): Unless I could, like, {#Emph}fly? {#Prev}Come off it, babe, you're {#Emph}way {#Prev}too stuck in your own head. You'll probably be stuck here too! ErisGrantsCurseMisc01 Eris (ErisField_0026): Don't take this personally, babe, but some things we just have to do, you know? ErisGrantsCurseMisc02 Eris (ErisField_0027): While I'd love to slow you down with a delightful chat, I think {#Emph}this {#Prev}will get the job done {#Emph}even better. ErisGrantsCurseMisc03 Eris (ErisField_0028): Look, {#Emph}heh! {#Prev}I know it's been a little rocky between us, but... we'll probably look back at this and laugh! ErisGrantsCurseMisc04 Eris (ErisField_0029): You don't look so happy to see me, babe! And I haven't even {#Emph}done {#Prev}anything yet... ErisGrantsCurseMisc05 Eris (ErisField_0030): {#Emph}Ungh! {#Prev}This isn't working...! Why won't you stop? What's it going to take, {#Emph}huh? ErisGrantsCurseMisc06 Eris (ErisField_0031): You just don't know when to quit, do you, Trouble? {#Emph}Fine! ErisGreeting.VoiceLines Eris (Eris_0077): Hey babe! Eris (ErisField_0050): Hiya babe!

Eris (ErisField_0207): We'll {#Emph}both {#Prev}go back to hell! ErisPostEpilogue01 Eris (Eris_0397): Something's up with you lately, babe! But you're not gonna tell me, so I'm just gonna start guessing. Is it Hecate? I bet it is, because something's up with {#Emph}her {#Prev}lately, too. Melinoe (Melinoe_4926): It's nothing, it's just... I've not had opportunity to speak with Headmistress at length since all of this drew to a close. We had... a lot we needed to sort out. And still do. Eris (Eris_0398): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, too {#Emph}bad! {#Prev}Even with all those scary issues you've been dealing with now mostly gone, turns out you've both got plenty of issues left. It's like they never go {#Emph}away! Melinoe (Melinoe_4927): At least you don't have issues, Eris. Eris (Eris_0399): Not a one. ErisPostEpilogue02 Eris (Eris_0400): Moros was all giddy recently, at least for {#Emph}him. {#Prev}So you finally got a hold of his sisters, huh? {#Emph}You {#Prev}should feel {#Emph}lucky! {#Prev}They're {#Emph}my {#Prev}sisters too and we've never even {#Emph}met. Melinoe (Melinoe_4928): I saw a bit of {#Emph}you {#Prev}in them, perhaps, Eris. If their past work is any indication, they seem to value spontaneity... making things up as they go. Eris (Eris_0401): So {#Emph}bizarre{#Prev}, right? I mean why be like that when you could try and meticulously plan for every little {#Emph}detail {#Prev}in advance? Melinoe (Melinoe_4929): They're weavers... they {#Emph}do {#Prev}have to plan. That and spontaneity are not inherently opposed. Speaking of which, you must have heard they're planning an extended break. Eris (Eris_0402): Meaning {#Emph}we {#Prev}get to make things up as we go, for a change! Melinoe (Melinoe_4930): We'll see how that turns out... ErisPostGift01 Eris (Eris_0092): Hey, {#Emph}um{#Prev}, babe? I kind of got you something... didn't want to make it a big deal or anything, so... here! For always being sweet. Melinoe (Melinoe_2804): A Nectar bottle... thank you, Eris. Though, we're breaking from tradition here. What if we just kept giving each other this same bottle back and forth, what then? Eris (Eris_0093): It'd be {#Emph}total {#Prev}anarchy! ErisPostTrueEnding01 Eris (Eris_0382): Say it isn't so, Trouble! The Chronos stuff I'm hearing? He's really calling it quits? And he let Nyx and everybody off? Wh-what did you {#Emph}do {#Prev}to him?! Melinoe (Melinoe_4913): Working with my brother in a bygone time, we flooded our grandfather's mind with a cascade of new memories of the family he then realized he always had, creating in him a profound and sudden change. Why, what's your concern? Eris (Eris_0383): My {#Emph}concern {#Prev}is that you ruined everything. So {#Emph}now {#Prev}we'll all have peace and harmony, joyful reunions, apologies, promises to never let this type of thing happen {#Emph}again?! Ungh! Melinoe (Melinoe_4914): Have you met our families, Eris? It's never that simple. Eris (Eris_0384): It {#Emph}better {#Prev}not be, or I'll {#Emph}never {#Prev}forgive you! ErisPostTrueEnding02 Eris (Eris_0385): What are you even {#Emph}doing {#Prev}in this dump still, anyway? If your mom and pop are back in charge, you ought to be living in style with them down in Tartarus. Are they {#Emph}that {#Prev}bad? Melinoe (Melinoe_4915): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}I may have been born in Tartarus, but my home is here, as well as my responsibilities. And the Crossroads are {#Emph}not {#Prev}a dump, or at least wouldn't be if you could mind your rubbish. Eris (Eris_0386): {#Emph}Whatever! {#Prev}Though at least that's one good thing that came out of all this. I really thought I was gonna lose you, babe. Melinoe (Melinoe_4916): Very touching. Eris (Eris_0387): I'm serious! ErisPostTrueEnding03 Eris (Eris_0388): How come you have to keep on doing all of this? I thought you {#Emph}won! {#Prev}But, you're still fighting! {#Emph}We're {#Prev}still fighting! I keep telling myself this is {#Emph}way {#Prev}too good to be true...! Melinoe (Melinoe_4917): Suffice it to say we have some lingering matters to resolve, which require continuing the process that got us here. So congratulations! Things are going to stay messy for a while. Eris (Eris_0389): You don't {#Emph}mean {#Prev}that! You're just trying to get my {#Emph}hopes {#Prev}up! Well, don't you worry. Whatever it is you're planning, sooner or later I'll get involved. Melinoe (Melinoe_4918): I've learned to count on it. ErisPostTrueEnding04 Melinoe (Melinoe_4921): So was it worth it, Eris? Impeding me, making my task more difficult at every turn? You didn't prevent this outcome... you could have just aided me like so many others. Eris (Eris_0392): And why would I have wanted to do that? Although I {#Emph}am {#Prev}a little disappointed in myself. Looking back, I could have caused {#Emph}so {#Prev}much more mayhem along the way... Melinoe (Melinoe_4922): Well look at you, reflecting on how you could improve! Even if it's at making things worse for everybody else. Eris (Eris_0393): You taught me that yourself, you know, Trouble? Not that I ever really learn, but... if I don't stay on top of things, maybe sometime in the future, everything will turn out {#Emph}fine... Melinoe (Melinoe_4923): We can't have {#Emph}that.

What do you expect they'll say? Eris (Eris_0241): Oh, {#Emph}you {#Prev}know! They see the way you talk to me, pick up after me, take me to the hot springs, give me Nectar, even Ambrosia. I mean, {#Emph}heh{#Prev}, come on! They're not {#Emph}stupid! Melinoe (Melinoe_4280): What? Eris, none of those things... an outing at the taverna is not some sort of... {#Emph}ungh. {#Prev}This simply was an opportunity to speak at greater length for once. Eris (Eris_0242): Hate to disappoint, but I didn't come here to {#Emph}speak. {#Prev}Now pour up! I don't have all night and this Ambrosia's {#Emph}way {#Prev}too bitter just for taking little swigs.

Melinoe (Melinoe_4485): Last time you suggested I ask normally, so I attempted to. Now are we going for a blasted drink or not? Eris (Eris_0270): Sure! I'm... into it if you are, though... I don't see the point. Eris (Eris_0271): {#Emph}Whew! {#Prev}Now pour another one, come on. Both got a busy night ahead, so let's move it along! Melinoe (Melinoe_4486): All right, it's just... Ambrosia is meant more for sipping and savoring than gulping down in one incredibly long tilt. Eris (Eris_0272): What makes you think I care? I won't feel {#Emph}anything {#Prev}if I take little tiny sips. Hardly feel anything right now! Melinoe (Melinoe_4487): Perhaps you simply haven't given it a shot the proper way. You lift it to your lips like so. Briefly inhale, consider the aroma, and then drink. But only a bit. Eris (Eris_0273): ...Oh. {#Emph}Ohhh. {#Prev}That's different, isn't it. I... didn't even know that's how it worked. Why {#Emph}are {#Prev}you being nice to me? Melinoe (Melinoe_4488): I'm not entirely certain. Just to see what happens I suppose? You said before that you happen to kind of like me. I kind of like you, too! Even though I know I shouldn't... Eris (Eris_0274): Well, I feel sorry for you, babe. Really do. We always want what we can never have. Now show me how you sip this stuff again! Aren't you supposed to say something first? Eris (Eris_0275): ...Look that was fun and all but next I spot you at the Rift of Thessaly, I'm still gonna hit you with everything I've got! And you better keep showing up. Melinoe (Melinoe_4490): I'm planning on it. Don't ever change, Eris. ErisTavernaDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4283): What if we head to the taverna for a little while? You don't seem particularly busy and we probably should talk... Eris (Eris_0244): What if you get out of my {#Emph}face {#Prev}for a little while? Don't feel like seeing you and all those Shades judging me, thanks. ErisWithHecate01 Eris (Eris_0245): Thanks for the suggestion, ma'am, but I'll be sticking around as {#Emph}long {#Prev}as I want.

Melinoe (Melinoe_3440): The way you can breathe out of water... so too could I breathe the surface air. Melinoe (Melinoe_5200): Last night was like a dream... the last part anyway. I wonder if Lord Moros is around. Melinoe (Melinoe_2836): Chronos has my family... and the Fates themselves...? Oh, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_5196): He's gone, Frinos... the Father of All Monsters. Now but one major threat remains. Melinoe (Melinoe_5197): I have to do this... I have to do this... I have to do this... Melinoe (Melinoe_5198): Don't think I forgot about you, little one. We really did it, didn't we? Melinoe (Melinoe_5199): Not every night you meet the Fates... perhaps I'm still in a bit of shock. Melinoe (Melinoe_5776): It's strange... ever get the feeling all this has already happened before, Frinos...? Melinoe (Melinoe_5771): I need one more reagent for the Dissolution of Time... but I won't find it in the Underworld. Melinoe (Melinoe_5193): Such a night! Chronos, vanquished, and after that... you'd not believe it anyhow. Melinoe (Melinoe_5726): I understand where Zagreus is coming from but... he hasn't had to go through any of this. Melinoe (Melinoe_5728): I think my brother might be coming around. Perhaps I am. There has to be a way... Melinoe (Melinoe_5773): My task, my methods... I just hope it works... and that Headmistress will understand. Melinoe (Melinoe_5194): We're getting somewhere, Frinos... soon all this may finally be over. Melinoe (Melinoe_5775): Typhon is destroyed, Frinos...! Soon, I can end all this... Melinoe (Melinoe_5772): The Underworld and Zagreus shall have to wait a bit... I've business on Olympus still. Melinoe (Melinoe_5774): Frinos... if we could stop Chronos without destroying him... then shouldn't we...? Melinoe (Melinoe_2846): You knew I could do it, didn't you, Frinos? Melinoe (Melinoe_2848): A satisfactory result that time, wouldn't you say? Melinoe (Melinoe_2850): Glad to be back here with you... but, it's a new night now... Melinoe (Melinoe_5201): That's one fewer possibility that things will run afoul for us again. Melinoe (Melinoe_5202): Shall we go again, Frinos? Perhaps we're dealing with infinite possibilities. Melinoe (Melinoe_2845): Can you believe it, little one? I did it... I got him...! What now...? Melinoe (Melinoe_2847): We really showed {#Emph}him{#Prev}, didn't we, Frinos? Melinoe (Melinoe_2849): Got him again. But we're not finished yet, are we? Melinoe (Melinoe_2931): I suppose you'd not have liked it, living in that House instead of here... Melinoe (Melinoe_3953): {#Emph}Mmm-wah! {#Prev}We beat the Father of All Monsters, Frinos...! Melinoe (Melinoe_5195): I never imagined I'd see the Palace of Zeus with my own eyes... but I'm glad I'm back. Melinoe (Melinoe_3954): That ought to slow Typhon a bit... or make him even angrier. Melinoe (Melinoe_4025): Haven't heard our old song in a while, have you? Well enjoy it while she's here! Melinoe (Melinoe_2132): All my life I've prepared, and I'm nowhere near ready, am I... Melinoe (Melinoe_3145): One of these evenings you ought to join me out there, little one. Long as I can protect you. Melinoe (Melinoe_1091): We made it back here safe and sound, didn't we, Frinos? Melinoe (Melinoe_2316): Do you think Nemesis is trying to help, or just trying to win? Melinoe (Melinoe_1675): I've faced Root-Stalkers before... it's like I drew a blank out there... Melinoe (Melinoe_1676): How could I lose to some Shadow-Spiller like that? {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, unacceptable... Melinoe (Melinoe_1887): She was on her last legs, but I just couldn't finish the job. Melinoe (Melinoe_0091): Frinos, how can I ever beat the Headmistress...? Melinoe (Melinoe_0092): The Headmistress got me again, Frinos... but I won't back down. Melinoe (Melinoe_2310): Feels like three against one when I face Headmistress out there... Melinoe (Melinoe_2311): She's taught me to be stronger than this. I'll prove it to her yet... Melinoe (Melinoe_5475): I shouldn't have lost to some Sea-Serpent, though that {#Emph}was {#Prev}a big one... Melinoe (Melinoe_2315): Some amphibians eat rodents, don't they, Frinos...? Melinoe (Melinoe_5476): Unfortunately, that tiny vermin back there posed a significant problem... Melinoe (Melinoe_4127): Let's keep my failure to defeat a school of Hellifish our little secret... Melinoe (Melinoe_2312): Frinos, I can't get that blasted Siren song out of my head... Melinoe (Melinoe_2313): Sirens are amphibious... you know their weaknesses, Frinos? Melinoe (Melinoe_5205): At least Scylla got to put on a big show like she always wanted, right? Melinoe (Melinoe_2314): You might like it down in Oceanus better than I do right now... Melinoe (Melinoe_2765): Phantoms must be thrilled to find fresh blood, I suppose... Melinoe (Melinoe_2764): I don't think you and Lamia would get along too well, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_2762): That was my family's dog... it has to be. I have to help him...! Melinoe (Melinoe_2763): Cerberus can't see through his rage... he needs our help, Frinos. Melinoe (Melinoe_5206): Cerberus more than lives up to his fierce reputation, doesn't he...? Melinoe (Melinoe_2712): Well {#Emph}that {#Prev}was a decidedly unhappy place, wasn't it...? Melinoe (Melinoe_2714): My spirit nearly broke back there... I couldn't hold on. Melinoe (Melinoe_2715): Such misery and sorrow in those Fields... but I have to get through. Melinoe (Melinoe_2810): Chronos underestimates me still... which means I have a real chance to vanquish him... Melinoe (Melinoe_5207): The Titan of Time... even with all my training I just couldn't beat him... Melinoe (Melinoe_2809): I got all the way to Chronos... the one place I can beat him. But I couldn't do it. Not yet... Melinoe (Melinoe_2840): Where does Chronos find those blasted Satyrs, anyway...? Melinoe (Melinoe_2837): Almost got there, but then, almost isn't good enough, is it? Melinoe (Melinoe_2838): What have they done to Tartarus, Frinos? It's not like how I heard... Melinoe (Melinoe_2839): I expected the worst down in Tartarus, and I got it all right... Melinoe (Melinoe_0359): You ever faced a Cyclops, Frinos? No? Melinoe (Melinoe_3831): I figured Cyclopes were very strong, but didn't need to learn firsthand like that... Melinoe (Melinoe_5204): Lady Medea, collaborating with Polyphemus? The will of Night can be {#Emph}quite {#Prev}strange... Melinoe (Melinoe_2841): The air up there did not sit well with me at all... Melinoe (Melinoe_2842): Not my finest night back there, but I had to try... Melinoe (Melinoe_2843): It's possible I'm not cut out for city life, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_2844): Not much in the way of hospitality in that big city up there... Melinoe (Melinoe_3170): How can a daughter of Nyx turn against us? And give me such a drubbing, too... Melinoe (Melinoe_3171): No making peace with one such as Eris, is there? Just isn't in her nature. Melinoe (Melinoe_3819): Few sailors live to speak of their encounters with Charybdis, so there's that, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_4126): Where did that sea-captain procure a weapon so much like the Rail of Adamant...? Melinoe (Melinoe_3172): I'm getting the impression that the sailor's life is not for me. Melinoe (Melinoe_3173): I used to dream of sailing on the surface seas, but not like that... Melinoe (Melinoe_3817): If Prometheus knows everything that's going to happen, then he must know I'm not giving up... Melinoe (Melinoe_3818): That Titan's hatred for the gods... it's clouded his senses. He can be beaten. Melinoe (Melinoe_5203): Turns out Prometheus has more than an eagle for a friend... best keep it quiet for now. Melinoe (Melinoe_3820): So many problems on Olympus to contend with, and Talos is against me, too...? Melinoe (Melinoe_3821): You know things are bad on Olympus when Dracons not just Harpies are beginning to roost there. Melinoe (Melinoe_4124): That monster last night more than compensated for a lack of intellect... Melinoe (Melinoe_4125): Those monstrosities made me their prey... won't let that happen again... Melinoe (Melinoe_3950): I've trained to slay Chronos, not the Father of All Monsters... what do I do...? Melinoe (Melinoe_4246): Typhon is not impervious, no matter how it seems. I have to get back there... Melinoe (Melinoe_3951): I'd best get back up to Olympus before Typhon gets his way. Melinoe (Melinoe_3952): I'll get that blasted Typhon for this, Frinos. Just you watch. Melinoe (Melinoe_3955): Typhon's going to tear that mountain to the ground, unless... Melinoe (Melinoe_5208): The Father of All Monsters and the Titan of Time, together... how can I possibly withstand them both...? Melinoe (Melinoe_3822): The mountain of the gods unfortunately wasn't as welcoming as I would have preferred... Melinoe (Melinoe_3823): Turns out that climbing Mount Olympus can be rather treacherous, Frinos. Melinoe (Melinoe_5705): Turns out my brother's handy with a spear... while I was not exactly at my best. Melinoe (Melinoe_5706): Zagreus got me again... this absolutely cannot stand, Frinos. Melinoe (Melinoe_3060): {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, Frinos... perhaps I ought know better than to tamper with the Oath of the Unseen. Melinoe (Melinoe_3061): I spoke the Oath, it's only fair I face the consequence, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_5211): It's been a while since I spoke to you like this, I know... Melinoe (Melinoe_1886): You're liking all this rain, right, little one? Melinoe (Melinoe_5209): Thank you for always being here for me... Melinoe (Melinoe_5210): How are you liking our nightly routine of late, {#Emph}hm? Melinoe (Melinoe_5212): Perhaps you'd like to come along with me again one of these nights. Melinoe (Melinoe_1091): We made it back here safe and sound, didn't we, Frinos? Melinoe (Melinoe_1162): See, Frinos? I wasn't gone for very long at all. Melinoe (Melinoe_0831): Damn it, Frinos. I can't do this. What if I can't do this? Melinoe (Melinoe_0832): What happened there, Frinos? I should be better than this. Melinoe (Melinoe_0833): I know I could have done better than that. Melinoe (Melinoe_0090): Blasted wretch got me, Frinos. I'll keep a healthier distance next time. Melinoe (Melinoe_0012_V3): That positively didn't go as planned, Frinos. Will you ever forgive me? Melinoe (Melinoe_0354): I blundered into that back there, didn't I, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_0355): I think I made a few mistakes back there, Frinos. Melinoe (Melinoe_0356): I'll have to be more careful, won't I, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_0360): You don't want to know what happened there, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_1677): You know what they say, Frinos: Failure is the greatest instructor of all. Melinoe (Melinoe_2811): You can probably imagine how that went, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_2812): Just don't go telling anybody how I blundered back there, Frinos... Melinoe (Melinoe_2948): See what I get for staying out all night, Frinos? Melinoe (Melinoe_3824): What do you suppose I could have done differently last night, {#Emph}hm? Melinoe (Melinoe_3441): Always here for me, aren't you... Melinoe (Melinoe_3442): Another night, another lesson learned... Melinoe (Melinoe_3443): You're always watching over me... you and these little Shades...

Melinoe (Melinoe_3825): I'm rested enough to press on, but you relax some more, all right? Melinoe (Melinoe_3826): Thanks for looking after things around here while I was out, Frinos. Melinoe (Melinoe_3827): I'd best get back to it, Frinos. But I wanted to say hi before I headed off again. Melinoe (Melinoe_3062): These Chaos Trials... we're not changing reality {#Emph}too {#Prev}much, are we, Frinos?

Melinoe (MelinoeField_2044): I feel... unstoppable... Chaos (Chaos_0248): Perhaps you should cease attempting this Trial for now. Chaos (Chaos_0249): Perhaps if your weapon was stronger? Or perhaps not. Chaos (Chaos_0250): I have eternity for these attempts; do you? Chaos (Chaos_0251): Only continue with this Trial if that is your wish. Chaos (Chaos_0237): Repeated failure is acceptable to me, for it is amusing. Chaos (Chaos_0239): Your prior failure in this Trial was quite interesting to observe. Chaos (Chaos_0242): This Trial has been difficult, and yet you reattempt. Chaos (Chaos_0243): I think this Trial may be far too difficult for you. Chaos (Chaos_0244): Try all you like; your repeat attempts are interesting. Chaos (Chaos_0247): We have been through this before, and shall do it again. Chaos (Chaos_0233): Repetition sometimes is required for success. Chaos (Chaos_0236): I am curious to see if you shall fail this Trial once again. Chaos (Chaos_0238): Shall this Trial prove too much for you again? Chaos (Chaos_0232): You are the variable in this Trial, Spawn of Hades. Chaos (Chaos_0234): A Trial may require multiple attempts. Chaos (Chaos_0235): I have affected this night much like you experienced before. Chaos (Chaos_0240): Perhaps you have a better sense of what to expect this time. Chaos (Chaos_0241): I appreciate your willingness to reattempt this Trial. Chaos (Chaos_0245): This is a Trial that you know; yet the outcome may change. Chaos (Chaos_0246): I shall be interested to see what you do differently this time. Chaos (Chaos_0217): Our Trial thus begins, O Spawn of Hades. Chaos (Chaos_0262): Vengeance is an impulse I would better understand. Chaos (Chaos_0265): Gold flows freely throughout my domain; claim it. Chaos (Chaos_0268): Let us see the so-called Earth-Shaker live up to his title. Chaos (Chaos_0277): This is a Trial of strength, so please use it with care. Chaos (Chaos_0271): The god of the forge knows something of creation himself. Chaos (Chaos_0275): This is a Trial of destruction, so please see what you can do. Chaos (Chaos_0269): I have no wish to see the god of light, only his strength. Chaos (Chaos_0270): The cold brought on by the goddess of seasons, I know well. Chaos (Chaos_0272): The goddess of love is well accustomed to being observed. Chaos (Chaos_0273): The goddess of the hearth, and the potential of her flames... Chaos (Chaos_0276): This is a Trial of haste, so please do not hesitate. Chaos (Chaos_0224): You lack the power you accumulated; but not the knowledge. Chaos (Chaos_0225): I can take away your strength, but not your experience. Chaos (Chaos_0264): You have a strong connection to the Moon; show it to me. Chaos (Chaos_0267): The Queen of Olympus understands the bonds we share. Chaos (Chaos_0278): I believe your magick shall be of little use in this Trial. Chaos (Chaos_0263): Do the Fates determine what transpires, or do you? Chaos (Chaos_0266): The King of Olympus commands thunder, but I created it. Chaos (Chaos_0219): You have arrived here rather quickly, Spawn of Hades. Chaos (Chaos_0220): Let us begin our current Trial from this point. Chaos (Chaos_0221): Commence this Trial from this point, beginning now. Chaos (Chaos_0222): I have an interest in evaluating this domain. Chaos (Chaos_0223): You may proceed immediately, Spawn of Hades. Chaos (Chaos_0226): This Trial shall attempt to break you, Spawn of Hades. Chaos (Chaos_0227): It is possible that this Trial is impossible, Spawn of Hades. Chaos (Chaos_0228): I do not think you shall complete this Trial, though please try. Chaos (Chaos_0229): The Fates themselves determine the details of this Trial. Chaos (Chaos_0230): I cede control of the details of this Trial to the Fates. Chaos (Chaos_0231): In choosing this Trial, all other choices shall be made for you. Chaos (Chaos_0298): The King of the Olympians relies upon his storms for shelter. Chaos (Chaos_0299): Not much would survive if the goddess of seasons so chose. Chaos (Chaos_0300): Heed now the summons of the Queen of Olympus. Chaos (Chaos_0301): The influence of Strife spreads rapidly, but can be slowed. Chaos (Chaos_0302): One of your relatives devotes himself to war; this is for him. Chaos (Chaos_0274): This Trial shall compare you to the caretaker of your domain. Chaos (Chaos_0304): I leave the details of this Trial for you to discover. Chaos (Chaos_0306): Whether this Trial goes as we expect, let us find out. Chaos (Chaos_0311): I chose each detail of this Trial arbitrarily. Chaos (Chaos_0312): There is no particular order to this Trial. Chaos (Chaos_0313): This shall not go the way it did last time. Chaos (Chaos_0314): You may attempt to find a pattern, but shall not. Chaos (Chaos_0315): This Trial has no constancy at all. Chaos (Chaos_0316): I have yet to consider all the possibilities herein. Chaos (Chaos_0306): Whether this Trial goes as we expect, let us find out. Chaos (Chaos_0305): I caution that this Trial likely is impossible for you. Chaos (Chaos_0307): You are by now familiar with these depths. Chaos (Chaos_0308): The lowest reaches of your father's realm. Chaos (Chaos_0310): How quickly you have reached this mountain's summit... Chaos (Chaos_0309): The summit of Olympus, beyond Time... Chaos (Chaos_0105): This shall be interesting... Chaos (Chaos_0106): I have made some adjustments to reality... Chaos (Chaos_0107): Minor changes may have profound effects... Chaos (Chaos_0108): Some alterations to the fabric of reality... Chaos (Chaos_0109): Is all this in accordance with the Fates' design? Chaos (Chaos_0110): Of infinite possibilities, this was your choice. Chaos (Chaos_0111): From my infinite depths rises an opportunity. Chaos (Chaos_0112): I do appreciate your willingness... Chaos (Chaos_0113): So many minor details to adjust... Chaos (Chaos_0114): Another possibility to be explored... Chaos (Chaos_0218): All that you see is my domain, and I am everywhere.

It seems this war has taken such a turn that he's now helping put a stop to it. Hades (Hades_0203): Is that what he told you...? The only reason I can think of that my nephew would endeavor to conclude a war is if it meant still-greater wars could then be waged instead. Nevertheless, if he is claiming to be on your side, he would not lie outright.

Nevertheless, if he is claiming to be on your side, he would not lie outright. HadesAboutAutomatons01 Hades (Hades_0173): To think that you have seen Olympus with your own eyes... your brother never had that opportunity. And I myself... my life is here, and I've no memories of mountaintops. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2833): It must have been a sight to behold, once. Now it's beset with the Titan's legions, and mindless Automaton defenders that want {#Emph}me {#Prev}destroyed just as much as our foes. Hades (Hades_0174): I told them never to depend on such contraptions! A proper army needs to be driven by glory, if not fear. Their Automatons feel {#Emph}nothing! {#Prev}How well can they possibly fight? HadesAboutBouldy01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1577): Where's Cerberus, Father? He's usually right here. I saw him in the Fields as before! Hades (Hades_0124): He runs amok at my behest. Spreads the attention of the Titan's legions thin. Eventually they drive him back, but can do him no harm. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1578): So just you and the boulder, then. Looking as though it's not been heaved up any hills in quite a while. Chronos doesn't make you do it? Hades (Hades_0125): I'd have less difficult a time than a mere Shade. Besides, these shackles cannot be unlocked, save by the Titan's command. But I'd remain here for eternity before I'd grovel at his feet. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1579): You say this boulder was companion to a mortal king? I... sense something from it. There can be so much energy within a common stone. Hades (Hades_0126): I'll take you at your word. The boulder and I... we're not as close as was its last relationship. Though perhaps you shall coax something from it; the Witch apparently has taught you everything. HadesAboutBouldy01_B Melinoe (MelinoeField_1577): Where's Cerberus, Father? He's usually right here. I saw him in the Fields as before! Hades (Hades_0124): He runs amok at my behest. Spreads the attention of the Titan's legions thin. Eventually they drive him back, but can do him no harm. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1578_B): So just you and the boulder, then. Looking as though it's not been heaved up any hills in quite a while. You say this boulder was companion to a mortal king? I... sense something from it. There can be so much energy within a common stone. Hades (Hades_0126): I'll take you at your word. The boulder and I... we're not as close as was its last relationship. Though perhaps you shall coax something from it; the Witch apparently has taught you everything. HadesAboutBouldy02 Hades (Hades_0279): Has that boulder yet revealed anything to you? I know not why I ask, mere baseless superstition on my part... but I have seen you go to it from time to time. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4153): You spoke gently of the prisoner once held here, as though you had forgiven him. I used to think that was impossible in Tartarus. The boulder now reminds me otherwise. Hades (Hades_0280): Most of the wretches who we once held captive here had no hope of forgiveness or freedom at all, yet even they broke loose, if undeservedly. Then let the boulder stand as testament to all that has transpired, and shall come to pass. HadesAboutBrothers01 Hades (Hades_0164): My brothers each are aiding you, are they? Zeus, doubtless leading from behind the safety of his palace walls... Poseidon, blustering as though his victory is already at hand... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2007): Father, they're fighting to defend their home... and they're fighting for {#Emph}you! {#Prev}You're right that neither one is much inclined to show concern, but why should they? Fear spreads. Hades (Hades_0165): They sat oblivious upon their surface realm for far too long...! But do not listen to my rantings about them. Had you known your own brother, perhaps you'd better understand the impulse for such ill-conceived remarks... HadesAboutCerberus01 Hades (Hades_0108): What has that blasted Titan done to Cerberus, that he should storm into this place with such abandon, only to be ushered out again? Takes a small army of Satyrs to drive him back... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1498): Chronos casts him out into the Mourning Fields above. Then rage and despair congeal about him, and his better senses take leave. My own path leads me through where he resides. Hades (Hades_0109): So you must face him in that sorry state. Thank you, Daughter, for taking pity on the moody beast. He has seen better, but been through worse. You were too young to form a bond before, but perhaps... it is not too late. HadesAboutCerberus02 Hades (Hades_0200): Cerberus has been quite agitated, and I'm realizing why. It's not just having to roam through the Mourning Fields; he probably can sense Typhon's return. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3316): Just about every monster I've confronted probably is traceable to Typhon in some way. I doubt he had a close relationship with any of his kin; not even Cerberus. Hades (Hades_0201): I doubt that too. It seems not one of us is able to escape our fathers' influence. Yet here we all are, still. HadesAboutCharon01 Hades (Hades_0113): ...The scent of blood. You're injured. And you expect to face the Titan still? At least you're in the right place should you die. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1571): I won't be dying here no matter what. As for my injuries, perhaps Lord Charon has some Life Essence in stock. Hades (Hades_0114): Even now, the Boatman plies his trade? Absurd. Our entire operation was shut down! Although... I ought remember that he serves this realm, not me. HadesAboutChronosAllies01 Hades (Hades_0175): Who else besides Prometheus does Chronos have under his thumb? I would know every last Titan or such ilk who deigned to turn on us. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2835): Besides marauding hordes of Satyrs and such, the ones that come to mind include the Cyclops Polyphemus... and Nyx's daughter Eris... though she may be acting on her own. Hades (Hades_0176): Strife could never be controlled, Nyx knew only too well. As for that Cyclops... he and your Uncle Poseidon have some history that may have spurred his impulses. Well... it is not yet the longest list of enemies, at least. HadesAboutChronosBossW01 Hades (Hades_0050): Such a cacophony occurred, after you last visited. Exactly when I cannot say. All of the Titan's wretched servants flew into a panic. Their cries would not cease. What transpired? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1493): Perhaps they were concerned for their master. Or busy trying to bring him back to life. Because I slew him, finally. And it won't be the last time. Hades (Hades_0051): Blood and darkness, {#Emph}hah... urgh! {#Prev}Then you accomplished... that which once took half the blasted strength of Olympus... all on your own. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1494): Not on my own at all. I had their strength, if not their support; as you've given me yours. Father, we can stop him. And for now... we can kill him. Hades (Hades_0052): He shall seek vengeance with a renewed zeal. This entire plot of his is driven by the same impulse. Then, kill him if you must. At least... his many deaths ought keep him occupied. HadesAboutChronosBossW01_B Hades (Hades_0050): Such a cacophony occurred, after you last visited. Exactly when I cannot say. All of the Titan's wretched servants flew into a panic. Their cries would not cease. What transpired? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1691): Perhaps they were concerned for their master. Or busy trying to bring him back to life. Because I slew him once again. And it won't be the last time. Hades (Hades_0146): Blood and darkness, {#Emph}hah! Urgh... {#Prev}To have achieved such an outcome... which once required half the blasted strength of all Olympus, on your own... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1494): Not on my own at all. I had their strength, if not their support; as you've given me yours. Father, we can stop him. And for now... we can kill him. Hades (Hades_0052): He shall seek vengeance with a renewed zeal. This entire plot of his is driven by the same impulse. Then, kill him if you must. At least... his many deaths ought keep him occupied. HadesAboutChronosNightmare01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1568): When Chronos took our family and the House, and you bade the Witch of the Crossroads take me... I remember it somehow, or dreamt of it. Did he... demand you tell him of the Fates? Hades (Hades_0273): How could you possibly...? Perhaps the Fates themselves permitted you that bit of insight. My father sought them, but I revealed nothing. Couldn't have even if I so desired, for no one knows where those three are, save {#Emph}them. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1569): Wait, you never told Chronos how to find the Fates? Then how {#Emph}did {#Prev}he? Because he's captured them. Not long ago, perhaps, but nonetheless. I'm certain of it. Hades (Hades_0274): What?! No... but if this is true, well then my father's plan for conquest is much closer to fruition than I thought. If not even they could stop him... Daughter, what chance do {#Emph}you {#Prev}have...? HadesAboutChronosNightmare01_B Melinoe (MelinoeField_1568): When Chronos took our family and the House, and you bade the Witch of the Crossroads take me... I remember it somehow, or dreamt of it. Did he... demand you tell him of the Fates? Hades (Hades_0273): How could you possibly...? Perhaps the Fates themselves permitted you that bit of insight. My father sought them, but I revealed nothing. Couldn't have even if I so desired, for no one knows where those three are, save {#Emph}them. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4150): Wait, you never told Chronos how to find the Fates? Then how {#Emph}did {#Prev}he? Because he captured them... before all this I mean. I'm certain of it. Hades (Hades_0276): {#Emph}What? {#Prev}Why am I only learning of this {#Emph}now? {#Prev}We'll shake the information out of him, then, and locate them immediately! HadesAboutFamily01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1995): You saw what happened... what Chronos did to Mother, and my brother, and the rest. Where are they? Where is he holding them? Hades (Hades_0162): My knowledge of this is not up-to-date. He... made everybody stop, somehow. I saw them, still as stone; not petrified exactly but ensnared, in the Great Hall of the House. He must have stored them someplace else inside... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1996): Even when I'm able to vanquish Chronos on a given night, most of the House is sealed off, and I'm unable to remain for long. How can we break them out...? Hades (Hades_0163): Perhaps if you ask the Titan very nicely, he shall comply? Daughter, I know of no way to undo his work, and have no wisdom to impart. But {#Emph}this{#Prev}, I can provide. HadesAboutHecate01 Hades (Hades_0106): Daughter, tell me what... became of the Witch of the Crossroads, should you know. When all seemed lost... your mother and I, we left you in her care. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1497): And she has cared for me ever since. Prepared me. Though, we had best not speak of her in these chambers. Suffice it to say, the Unseen remain in shadow. Hades (Hades_0107): Good. She was... well as you say, we'd best say nothing more. Though if you have the opportunity, extend to her my deepest gratitude. HadesAboutHoundFamiliar01 Hades (Hades_0205): It may be best to keep your distance there, or rather for that dog. Although... the Witch of the Crossroads, she once had a hound much like that one... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3319): Then this must be the very same. She's called Hecuba, and I'm certain she'll be respectful both to you and Cerberus. Besides, they already met in the Fields... Hades (Hades_0206): A creature possessed of loyalty and courage, then. A quite-uncommon combination, whether in beasts or otherwise. Be on your best behavior with her, Cerberus. HadesAboutHouse01 Hades (Hades_0117): If you'd indulge a senseless curiosity... how fares my House? Your brother, he was more or less in charge of the decor. I highly doubt the Titan shares his taste. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1573): Well, unless Zagreus was enamored of gold trim and the Titan's sneering likeness everywhere, then it's probably quite different from what you recall... Hades (Hades_0118): {#Emph}Urgh... {#Prev}you have your mother's candor to a fault. You ought have told me everything was {#Emph}fine! {#Prev}The comfort of lies at times is all we have. HadesAboutMelinoe01 Hades (Hades_0160): Daughter. Tell me something of yourself, for I know not a thing. For instance... what is it that you like to do? When you are not... attempting this. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1994): What do I like to do? Well... I ensure all of my reagents are in order, so when practicing my craft, what I need is always close at hand. And I like to... {#Emph}ungh{#Prev}, Father, this rings false... Hades (Hades_0161): {#Emph}Mm. {#Prev}Neither the time nor place for trivialities... perhaps, however, at some point... we may discuss such matters more. But there are scores to settle first. HadesAboutNemesis01 Hades (Hades_0386): Most fear to tread within this chamber, but quite recently the visage of Nyx herself charged in. Saluted in a huff and strode on past! One of Nyx's daughters? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5028): That sounds like Nemesis. She's wanted to get her hands on Chronos practically more than I ever did. Going after the traces of him now, the same as me. We have a thing going. Hades (Hades_0387): That almost makes me feel some pity for those traces, then. To have to face Retribution or Vengeance, if not both. HadesAboutNeoChronos01 Hades (Hades_0305): Has Chronos... my father... has he been amenable to your requirements in all of this? No sudden or discernible changes of behavior or demeanor? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4165): He's been himself... his newer self, that is. Rather contrite, and I daresay enthusiastic about alleviating the negative effects that still linger here and above. Hades (Hades_0306): We ought remain on guard nevertheless. Although, my father never could hide his contempt. If you have rid him of that... then he truly is no longer the Titan I once knew. HadesAboutNeoChronos02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4171): How is Grandfather faring in the Isles of the Blessed? I was pleased to learn Lord Uncle Zeus and you were even able to find him an available post there. Hades (Hades_0309): ...My father is, surprisingly, quite competent in this newfound regard, at least thus far. The work itself is not too burdensome, although the residents of the Isles of the Blessed can be very demanding. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4172): So Grandfather is looking after the most vaunted of Elysium, making certain that their needs are met, that sort of thing? Hades (Hades_0310): Essentially, that is correct. He is attentive to detail, and not prone to forgetfulness. We shall be monitoring him to ensure he remains that way. HadesAboutNyx01 Hades (Hades_0166): Nyx, herself... even she was powerless against the Titan. Two of Night Incarnate's own sons served in my House along with her... I suppose he has them, too. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2008): No, Hypnos is with {#Emph}us! {#Prev}Fast asleep for all this time, perhaps some sort of... defensive response, for we have found no way to wake him. Brave Schelemeus is with us as well! Hades (Hades_0167): Hypnos, asleep {#Emph}again? {#Prev}And I've no recollection of that other name... but Time has worn on me. Regardless, if the Witch yet leads the Unseen, the will of Night is not yet lost. HadesAboutPain01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1495): It hurts my heart to see you like this, Father. But, it brings me peace. And strength. Helps that this chamber isn't crawling with Satyrs... Hades (Hades_0053): Oh they have sense enough to keep their distance from me... or perhaps Cerberus. Well if seeing me in this pitiable state should spur you to your fullest wrath, then so be it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1496): That's not quite it; I don't feel loathing or hatred. Elsewhere in Tartarus, perhaps, but not here. Not anymore. I just hope my presence doesn't cause you further pain. Hades (Hades_0054): No. The only pain... is that your mother and I, your brother, this dog, that we were not... we could not be there to see you grow. Each time I see you now... it fills an absence that was there. HadesAboutPersephone01 Hades (Hades_0119): Your mother was so proud when you were born. We... did not always think that we would have another child. But we decided to try again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1574): And you did the most important thing parents can do. You {#Emph}protected {#Prev}me. As for my mother, I know her beautiful smile. The way she's looking at me in the painting that I have. Hades (Hades_0120): The painting, it survived?! The Witch, she must have taken it... and such a risk, for such a thing. Know that your mother's radiance... cannot be captured. No matter the artist's skill. HadesAboutPersephoneAspect01 Hades (Hades_0177): That skull you have in hand, is that... how did you come to possess it? It once had been entrusted to your mother's care... for her protection, and in a way, yours. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2836): Mother's Aspect of the Argent Skull Revaal deemed me a worthy-enough bearer... but it was Headmistress Hecate who first gathered the Nocturnal Arms for my task. Hades (Hades_0178): Forged by the Fates! Who so like playing us for fools. That skull did not protect the Queen as much as I would have preferred; but perhaps its work merely is not yet complete. HadesAboutPersephoneAway01 Hades (Hades_0303): Your mother sends you her warmest regards, and regrets that she was unable to join me here this time. Certain matters at the House require {#Emph}her {#Prev}attention, if not mine. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4164): Thank you, and please give my regards to Mother, in kind. So you get to be {#Emph}here {#Prev}while she takes care of things {#Emph}there... {#Prev}do you draw lots to determine who does what? Hades (Hades_0304): Drawing lots is how I wound up in this realm, and is not something I have done again. This is simpler, besides: Being here is how I can best ensure your continued success. HadesAboutPrometheus01 Hades (Hades_0171): Daughter, answer me something. How is it that the Titan's armies are well-organized enough to siege Olympus, when the Titan himself cowers here in Tartarus? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2832): We have another Titan to contend with there: Prometheus is leading the attack. I don't know how exactly he got free, or what he truly wants... other than vengeance on the gods. Hades (Hades_0172): Is vengeance on the gods an insufficient desire in itself? I wanted nothing to do with his sentencing... but your Lord Uncle Zeus, he... well, he would always claim that he could fashion more-creative punishments than I... HadesAboutShrine01 Hades (Hades_0168): The darkness stirs in such a way as I've not felt since very long ago. This cannot be the Titan's work. It must be that of the Witch of the Crossroads, if not you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2009): Father: {#Emph}In shadow, I serve; to shadow, I return. {#Prev}Thus have I sworn the Oath of the Unseen, who serve this realm, and execute the will of Night. Hades (Hades_0169): I know less of the Unseen than you suppose. As it should be, lest the Titan could have learned much more. Then, may you serve the will of Night judiciously... HadesAboutSisyphus01 Hades (Hades_0121): This chamber... it once held a prisoner of mine. A mortal king who had attempted to cheat Death! I forced the wretch to heave that boulder up that path forever. He forgave me anyway. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1575): Forget him, Father. What purpose does it serve to dwell on some dead mortal now? Chronos wants you to wallow in your guilt. Don't. Hades (Hades_0122): You misunderstand. The prisoner, he was called Sisyphus the King. His boulder there was like a friend. He... asked his friend to keep me company. Until more company arrived, he said. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1576): Well then I'm grateful to that boulder and the king. Chronos must not have accounted for your former prisoners being fond of you. Hades (Hades_0123): Oh most of them are not. Some chose to join the Titan's legions and remain here in Tartarus. Not anywhere I cast my gaze, of course. HadesAboutSisyphus01_B Hades (Hades_0121): This chamber... it once held a prisoner of mine. A mortal king who had attempted to cheat Death! I forced the wretch to heave that boulder up that path forever. He forgave me anyway. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1575_B): Forget him, Father. What purpose does it serve to dwell on some dead mortal now? Hades (Hades_0122): You misunderstand. The prisoner, he was called Sisyphus the King. His boulder there was like a friend. He... asked his friend to keep me company. Until more company arrived, he said. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1576): Well then I'm grateful to that boulder and the king. Chronos must not have accounted for your former prisoners being fond of you. Hades (Hades_0123): Oh most of them are not. Some chose to join the Titan's legions and remain here in Tartarus. Not anywhere I cast my gaze, of course. HadesAboutStoryReset01 Hades (Hades_0412): How... how is it you already have my blessing, Daughter? Is that... you have our family's heirloom... the Jeweled Pom. Where did you get it? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5219): I... I don't remember where I got it, I... haven't I always had it? Father... I... didn't you... I don't understand. Hades (Hades_0413): Most likely the Witch of the Crossroads procured it, but who can say? My father's influence is strong... Time wears on memory, perhaps. But here... I can add to its power. HadesAboutSurface01 Hades (Hades_0147): I cannot believe that I am asking but, how fares Olympus in all this? Even trapped within this chamber, it is evident to me that the Titan's legions are at war. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1692): The surface swarms with the dead, and the armies of Chronos are besieging the mountain. Our family is holding them back. I've been trying to break the stalemate in their favor, but all in all, it's not a pretty sight up there right now. Hades (Hades_0148): {#Emph}Not a pretty sight up there... {#Prev}you mean to say you've seen all this firsthand? {#Emph}How? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1693): You mean our birthright. Would you believe I learned a means by which I could withstand the surface climate for a while? Long enough to make a difference up there... or to try. Hades (Hades_0149): Impossible... yet seemingly, all these impossibilities continue to occur. So you must vanquish the Titan, as well as come to the rescue of Olympus. How utterly absurd that you are burdened with all that.... HadesAboutTyphon01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3101): Father, I'm afraid the matter on Olympus is more dire than we thought... for Chronos reawakened Typhon, who is very, {#Emph}very {#Prev}large... and dead-set on destroying the Palace of Zeus. Hades (Hades_0191): {#Emph}Pah! {#Prev}Such a predictable and reckless action on the Titan's part. Although your uncle Zeus may not be quite as spry as when he and that monster previously clashed. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3102): You don't seem so surprised. How did you all defeat Typhon before? I've never fought something like him. Hades (Hades_0192): Nor should you fight something like him, Daughter! Let Zeus clean up his mess. His thunderbolt proved quite effective in the past... although you'd think that an embodiment of storms and rage would be immune. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3103): I'm not about to abandon our family to face this threat on their own. Hades (Hades_0193): Then you're in the wrong place. For if you think thwarting the Titan shall stop Typhon in turn, you're wrong. A monster such as that cannot be controlled. Go, see for yourself. HadesAboutTyphon01_B Melinoe (MelinoeField_3101): Father, I'm afraid the matter on Olympus is more dire than we thought... for Chronos reawakened Typhon, who is very, {#Emph}very {#Prev}large... and dead-set on destroying the Palace of Zeus. Hades (Hades_0191): {#Emph}Pah! {#Prev}Such a predictable and reckless action on the Titan's part. Although your uncle Zeus may not be quite as spry as when he and that monster previously clashed. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3930): You don't seem so surprised. How did you all defeat Typhon before? My methods thus far have not produced long-lasting results. Hades (Hades_0275): Your {#Emph}methods? {#Prev}Let Zeus clean up his mess. His thunderbolt proved quite effective in the past... although you'd think that an embodiment of storms and rage would be immune. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3103): I'm not about to abandon our family to face this threat on their own. Hades (Hades_0193): Then you're in the wrong place. For if you think thwarting the Titan shall stop Typhon in turn, you're wrong. A monster such as that cannot be controlled. Go, see for yourself. HadesAboutTyphon02 Hades (Hades_0194): What news of Typhon recently, Daughter? Zeus used to boast of how he vanquished that monstrosity alone. Now I imagine more of a concerted effort is required. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3104): Father, if you bear some grudge with Uncle Zeus, that's only to the benefit of all our enemies. Typhon yet threatens the mountaintop... he can be driven back, but never for long. Hades (Hades_0195): We buried him under a mountain once; no ordinary show of strength, for other methods failed. Well, I trust my brother has some sort of {#Emph}plan. {#Prev}He never lacked for those. HadesAboutTyphon03 Hades (Hades_0196): ...When first we had to fend off Typhon long ago, we dared not think the Titan Lord whom we had already disposed of was responsible. Surely not even {#Emph}he {#Prev}in all his arrogance believed that such a monster would bend to his will! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3105): All Chronos probably expected was that the monster would immediately attack Olympus. How could he have awakened such a thing without our family even noticing? Hades (Hades_0197): With Nyx herself amongst the Titan Lord's captives, all that transpires deep within the Earth cannot be known by anyone. And now... even though both Typhon and the Titan fell to us before... we have never had to face them both at once. HadesAboutTyphon04 Hades (Hades_0198): I have not seen you in some time... perhaps you've been preoccupied with thwarting Typhon as he makes attempts to break into my brother's nigh-impenetrable mountain palace. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3106): That's a rather accurate assessment of my recent outings, yes. Typhon may appear to be invincible, but there's not a creature alive that likes repeatedly being struck in the face. Hades (Hades_0199): An age-old tactic that served well your predecessors in the greatest battles of their youth. I had a feeling that would be the case; in the end, little changes with time. HadesAboutUltimateProgress01 Hades (Hades_0397): ...My father... he visited me recently. Demanding that I tell him where to find you. I made clear I did not know. But you are drawing more of his attention. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5078): You're saying he tortured you, that blasted wretch. He won't need to find me; I'm about to find him. Hades (Hades_0398): Do not misunderstand... we merely spoke. Granted, that is a rarity in itself. He never knew what to do with my brothers or me... never should have had us at all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5079): Father, please don't speak that way. What even happened with you all...? I know the tales of how you vanquished him, but... know so little of how it was for you growing up. Hades (Hades_0399): ...We often fought. He believed we would take after him. None of us did. And when the Fates decided that the time had come for us to rule in his stead... he resisted. Bitterly. But these old memories... I would leave them buried. HadesAboutUltimateProgress02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5080): Please hang on, Father. I have to safeguard the details, but... I'm getting closer to something... a way to stop Chronos. Forever. Hades (Hades_0400): Forever... even when my brothers, foster-sisters, and I vanquished him... we knew he would eventually be back... a deathless Titan. But we thought... it would be on our terms. We were such fools. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5081): What else could you have done? He left you with no choice. And you lacked the means to destroy him utterly. Hades (Hades_0401): It was for the best that we lacked such means... we would have used them and continued using them. I merely judge the dead, or used to... I was never fit to judge the living. HadesAboutUltimateProgress03 Hades (Hades_0402): To think that you might stop the Titan forever. In my youth I could not even believe we were related. Yet now I realize... I have grown old, and wretched, and wrathful... like him. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5063): Lord Father, it was my wrath that brought me to this point! And how can you possibly compare yourself? Look what the Titan did to you... Hades (Hades_0394): We did this to {#Emph}each other! {#Prev}Gods and Titans... doomed to live forever, yet learn nothing all the while. Do as you must... but take no vengeance in my name. HadesAboutZagreus01 Hades (Hades_0115): You have the Death Defiance. Runs in the family. Your brother Zagreus, he was also rather sturdy for his stature. Hard-headed, as a boy. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1572): Don't speak of him as though he's gone! Chronos has him, and Mother, and the rest. But when all this is over... we'll see each other again. Hades (Hades_0116): How can you be so certain? To make such guarantees of the unknown! The Titan... my father... he shall not stop. He is the most hard-headed of us all. HadesAndPersephoneKeepsake.EquipVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_5057): The Pom. Persephone (PersephoneKeepsake_0030): {#Emph}Daughter!

He shall find you. He'll find you, and... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1688): ...I'll slay him where he stands. And not for the first. Hades (Hades_0145): {#Emph}Not for the first{#Prev}, truly? Then you must know the meaninglessness of the act! Look at me, Daughter. I could do nothing against him on my own. Even though I, too, have fought him before. {#Emph}Slain {#Prev}him before! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1690): I'm sorry, Father. But I shall not be deterred, even by you. Now let me free you from these bonds! Hades (Hades_0029): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}No, that would bring greater ruin, nothing more. Now, get out of this place. Though let me lend to you what strength I still possess. HadesGiftDecline01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1499): Father, while I know this wasn't necessarily permitted, I thought if maybe it would be of any comfort at all, that I might offer you this Nectar? Hades (Hades_0110): Exactly like your brother, blast... I fear I'm not in any mood or state for such a thing. Concern yourself not with my comfort, but with the target of your wrath. HadesGreeting.VoiceLines Hades (Hades_0081): {#Emph}Hrrnn? Hades (Hades_0073): Who goes? ...You. Hades (Hades_0074): It's you... Hades (Hades_0075): Daughter... Hades (Hades_0076): Daughter...? Hades (Hades_0077): Melinoë... Hades (Hades_0078): Melinoë...? Hades (Hades_0079): Is that you...? Hades (Hades_0080): Back again? Hades (Hades_0082): Wha...? Hades (Hades_0083): Greetings... Hades (Hades_0187): Returned... Hades (Hades_0190): Who... {#Emph}ah. Hades (Hades_0204): Heel, Cerberus...! Hades (Hades_0188): Back again...? Hades (Hades_0189): Back already...? Hades (Hades_0084): Cerberus, look who it is... Hades (Hades_0150): Cerberus... look who it is. Hades (Hades_0151): She's back already, Cerberus... HadesHideAndSeek01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0434): Well this is a rare treat. The both of you together in this lounge! What brings you here, Grandfather? Chronos (Chronos_1413): I yet seek the girl's whereabouts, is what! I have turned over this residence in its entirety, and found nary a sign! She is already as elusive as you always were, Hades. Hades (Hades_0392): That or your old senses have dulled. She went running over there by the Head Chef, where she yet lingers in silence. Go, before her patience wears thin. Zagreus (Zagreus_0435): {#Emph}Erm... {#Prev}what Father meant to say was, {#Emph}no, we've no idea where my good son's little sister is! {#Prev}She could be anywhere! Have you tried checking the administrative chamber? Gods, I sound like Hypnos. Chronos (Chronos_1414): I do appreciate the hint. Zagreus (Zagreus_0436): Keep up the good work! Chronos (Chronos_1415): Where are you, my girl...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5053): {#Emph} HadesMeeting02 Hades (Hades_0031): What are you doing here again? I told you, you {#Emph}cannot {#Prev}be here! Melinoe (Melinoe_1061): And I told {#Emph}you {#Prev}I'd be back for you. Though my priority is Chronos. You vanquished him before. Can you reveal to me any weaknesses? Anything at all? Hades (Hades_0032): {#Emph}I {#Prev}vanquished him with the aid of {#Emph}five other gods! {#Prev}What hope have you, alone? He has no weakness, save his arrogance. And it appears you have that weakness, too. Melinoe (Melinoe_1062): Then it seems we are equally matched. Father, how long have you been this way? Is there aught I can do? Hades (Hades_0033): You think I've any sense of time in such a place? And I've said already what you can do: {#Emph}Risk not your everything. {#Prev}Go now, and be unseen. HadesMeeting03 Hades (Hades_0034): I know not how you withstood the Titan, if truly you confronted him. Quickly now, tell me but this: Have you been... are you well? Melinoe (Melinoe_1063): Am I... well? All my life I've been preparing for this moment, to bring the usurper of the House of Hades to justice. So, I'll have to get back to you, depending on how it goes. Hades (Hades_0035): ...I'm sorry... I'm sorry. Get back to me if you must. I'd grant your vengeance if I could. But this is all that I can do for now. HadesPersephoneGreeting.VoiceLines Hades (Hades_0230): Daughter. Hades (Hades_0232): Melinoë. Hades (Hades_0233): You're here. Hades (Hades_0234): It's her. Hades (Hades_0235): It's you. Hades (Hades_0236): Welcome. Hades (Hades_0237): There she is. Hades (Hades_0238): Is that you? Hades (Hades_0231): Our daughter. Hades (Hades_0239): Heel, Cerberus! HadesPostTrueEndingChat01 Hades (Hades_0316): These blessings are mere trifles, but if they have been effective, so be it. HadesPostTrueEndingChat02 Hades (Hades_0320): Zagreus sends his regards. The Underworld has kept him busy recently. HadesPostTrueEndingChat03 Hades (Hades_0321): What my father did to Tartarus is a disgrace we shall correct in time... HadesPostTrueEndingChat04 Hades (Hades_0327): If there is something more that we can do to facilitate your efforts, merely ask. HadesPostTrueEndingChat05 Hades (Hades_0330): We trust that the Witch of the Crossroads and the rest are lately doing well? HadesPostTrueEndingChat06 Hades (Hades_0331): My father may be different now, but if any old trace of him remains, destroy it. HadesPostTrueEndingChat07 Hades (Hades_0334): Let us ensure that nothing like what we have withstood shall ever again transpire. HadesPostTrueEndingChat08 Hades (Hades_0335): I shall always have wrath to spare for any remnants of my father's former self. HadesPostTrueEndingChat09 Hades (Hades_0318): Matters in the House are well in hand. We trust that all is likewise well with you. HadesPostTrueEndingChat10 Hades (Hades_0324): Your work has drawn you to the surface more and more, so it is good to see you here. HadesSpearPoints.InventoryVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_5711): Father's spear... it has to work... HadesTrueEnding01 Hades (Hades_0408): ...When I was having difficulties with my son... sometimes I thought of you, Father. I could not fathom having had more children to contend with all at once. Chronos (Chronos_1474): Yes, well... I was not terribly successful at contending with you lot, now, was I? Particularly Zeus... to think that I shall see him and the others again soon. Hades (Hades_0409): I can make no assurances about how you shall be received. These dreamlike memories we share did not reach Mount Olympus, it seems. But Zeus does have my full report. Chronos (Chronos_1475): Surely a ringing endorsement! But I merely jest. If Time can be so cruel, then it is only fitting for his children to be much the same. Would you not agree, Granddaughter? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5217): We may have more in common than we'd like to admit. But in any event, Lord Uncle Zeus asked you to come alone. Only the Fates now know what lies in store... although there's still no sign of them, even with Nyx's aid? Chronos (Chronos_1476): None. I cast them into the abyss. Had I known precisely where, they would have known how to get back. Yet if my hypothesis about such possibilities as we experienced is correct... we may find them. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5167): We shall. And I look forward to testing this hypothesis. Perhaps we'll all learn something about ourselves. Chronos (Chronos_1477): Would that we could! Gods and Titans may be doomed to live forever... but we need not be bound to our old ways. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5168): Indeed. {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, Father...? Thank you for all your hospitality. It gladdens me to see you doing well. Hades (Hades_0410): I would not be if not for you, Daughter. I trust that we shall see each other again soon. And perhaps even you, Father. Chronos (Chronos_1478): Likewise, Hades. At least this House is mostly to your preference again. Beyond these halls, of course, much more is to be done. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5169): Yes, well... Father, I wish you the best with the ongoing Underworld renovations. As for us, our chariot is here. Chronos (Chronos_1027): That it is. I am prepared. Hades (Hades_0251): Shadows conceal you. HadesWithHecate01 Hades (Hades_0048): ...You have your orders. Now return to shadow. And, take care of her. For all of us. Hecate (Hecate_0208): No harm shall come to young Melinoë, my lord. In this, at least, I shall not fail you. Hecate (Hecate_0209): Farewell... Hades (Hades_0017): Goodbye, Daughter... HadesWithPersephone01 Persephone (Persephone_0068): Oh, Melinoë, you're back! We thought we might find you here... well, Hades did. I never would have guessed. Hades (Hades_0215): Your Mother and I had looked forward to seeing you again ever since you departed. How have you fared? Are matters in the Crossroads well in hand? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4148): Everything is more or less all right, Father. It's good to see you in this chamber in far better spirits than before, though... why return to such a place? I'd have thought you'd rather be just about anywhere else. Hades (Hades_0216): The House is partially in order but the rest of Tartarus yet bears the mark of my father's extravagant tastes. Whatever harm he caused our family, undoing his decor shall take longer still! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4149): Grandfather shall do his part. It also means I get to say hello. Hades (Hades_0217): Well I shall do my small part then, in the retracing of your steps. Provided I may be of service still. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5008): Soot from the House... HadesWithPersephone02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4169): How have the two of you been doing in all this? It must be quite a stressful time, having to get the House and Underworld back in order. Hades (Hades_0307): Oh, it is somewhat less stressful than being imprisoned, fearing the worst for my family and dog, and watching the Underworld become unrecognizable. Persephone (Persephone_0144): It's very different in my case. In this life... one moment I was a new mother, and now I'm not! For what it's worth, you were always an adorable baby, Melinoë. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4170): You could always try and have another child, I suppose? We have nowhere near the numbers on Olympus, besides. Hades (Hades_0308): {#Emph}Augh! {#Prev}Let us not tempt the Fates with such talk, wherever they may be. You and your brother are more than sufficient. HadesWithPersephone03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4154): How fare the renovations to the House thus far? It was looking rather far along even before I departed. Hades (Hades_0281): Appearances can be deceiving, as you must already know, Daughter. The initial work is rather quick. Addressing the details takes much, much longer. Persephone (Persephone_0014): Especially if all the details must be exactly as before. Hades (Hades_0282): And why should we settle for less? Anything that we did not want changed ought to remain as we desired it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4155): Sounds like a big undertaking. Can I do something to assist? Persephone (Persephone_0015): Best leave this one to us, Melinoë. We're pleased to see you here! Your father can administer his blessings and take his mind off of everything! Isn't that right, Hades? Hades (Hades_0283): {#Emph} {#Prev}Just make your choice and go, Daughter. HadesWithPersephoneAboutAchilles01 Persephone (Persephone_0151): Wanted to mention, Achilles sends his greetings and well-wishes! Says he fondly recalls the practice bouts you had with Zagreus... {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, might have had. He and the other Houseservants are doing better lately. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5178): I'm glad to hear it, and please send him my greetings and well-wishes in return. Having known him, at least in our other past... I was concerned he'd take what happened very hard. I mean the attack on the House. Persephone (Persephone_0152): I think he did take it hard, in his way. His responsibility is to protect the House, but Chronos was too much for him... for any of us. Perhaps gods such as we, or heroes such as Achilles, need the world to remind us to have a little humility from time to time... HadesWithPersephoneAboutAltChildhood01 Persephone (Persephone_0155): You're of course so much like the daughter I remember from the other past we shared, or dreamed. But the small ways in which you're different from that Melinoë are fascinating. You seem... more mature. In control. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5224): Well... I suppose I had to grow up faster in the Crossroads than in the House, so perhaps that explains it. I also didn't have quite as much training in that life. But I'm still me, I think! Persephone (Persephone_0156): I always wondered to what extent we are who we are down to the core, or whether it's our surroundings and upbringing that shapes us. The truth may lie somewhere in the middle. HadesWithPersephoneAboutBackstory01 Hades (Hades_0414): Daughter... we had... meant to ask you at some point, about your arm, because... well, it is but a curiosity, and one you need not indulge, if the subject is best avoided... Melinoe (MelinoeField_5220): Oh, right! I'm so accustomed to it now that I never thought to mention it. I... had a bit of an accident, a long time ago. Turned out that my grasp over life and death was not as strong as I thought. It's been a good reminder ever since. Hades (Hades_0415): Yet your connection to the dead we sense is very strong. Well, we each have our scars from lessons learned... most are not as noticeable or intriguing. Your mother and I figured it was more of a personal choice. HadesWithPersephoneAboutBlessings01 Persephone (Persephone_0024): You have my blessings as well, you know that, don't you, Melinoë? Unfortunately, I'm not supposed to offer you the more-tangible kind while we're cleaning up after Chronos. Hades (Hades_0301): Surely my own blessings shall suffice? Our daughter has already faced and vanquished this Titan many times... there is no need to alter what has already been working well. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4163): Simply seeing you two is enough to carry me to the end. Though I'm certain Mother's blessings would have made me even stronger. Power over life and death and such...! Persephone (Persephone_0025): Well, when you put it {#Emph}that {#Prev}way... I suppose I take after my own mother more than I sometimes let on. Hades (Hades_0302): Daughter... your mother brought life to this realm where it never should have been able to take hold, and we are richer for it. HadesWithPersephoneAboutCerberus01 Persephone (Persephone_0153): Do you remember how you used to play with Cerberus as though he were your trusty steed? At least he's still getting plenty of activity thanks to you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5179): I remember, yes! You helped me get on him and not fall down. He was very patient and gentle considering I was quite rough with him. Where I grew up in the Crossroads, I had much smaller beasts to keep me company. Persephone (Persephone_0154): The more the better, I suppose. You were always our princess growing up, in that other past... perhaps we weren't quite as strict with you as Hecate. HadesWithPersephoneAboutChamber01 Persephone (Persephone_0069): I asked your father to prioritize the renovation of this chamber, if this is to be the place where we meet up now and again. And do you know what he said? Hades (Hades_0372): I merely said we ought to leave this chamber's updating for last... for I would not erase the memory of how it is. Though perhaps it shall remain this way for {#Emph}ages {#Prev}at the current rate. HadesWithPersephoneAboutDemeter01 Persephone (Persephone_0095): Sometimes I wish we could spend more time together, you know? But then I recall how it was for {#Emph}me {#Prev}growing up. Just... don't forget we're here if you need anything. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4467): Of course I won't. How was it living with Grandmother? She seems so intense, and capable... I like her a lot. Persephone (Persephone_0096): I'm glad. Your Grandmother Demeter and I, we had our difficulties now and then, but it's been better since I moved down here. My grand conclusion from it all is simply that children need their space... as hard as it is to let them go. HadesWithPersephoneAboutGreeting01 Hades (Hades_0292): We heard that you were on your way, Daughter. So your mother ensured we each would be here in time to greet you. Persephone (Persephone_0020): Way to reveal my entire plan, Hades! We just wanted to say hi, Melinoë. Since we can't exactly have you over at the House for now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4159): Hello to each of you in turn. How has everyone been? Zagreus, and all the other Houseservants? Hades (Hades_0293): They all are back to work; and well we ought, now that we're done exchanging pleasantries. Do rid us of my father's lingering threat, while we rid this place of his horrid styling. HadesWithPersephoneAboutHypnosWakeUp01 Hades (Hades_0411): We've you to thank for the return of Hypnos. He would not cease apologizing for his dereliction of duty. He now is taking stock of the number of days he missed work. Persephone (Persephone_0150): We figured that would help to keep him occupied... seeing as we haven't been able to take in as many newcomers as we once did. Hades (Hades_0295): The court has remained closed! Nevertheless, there are growing numbers of Shades awaiting their turns, and we require Hypnos to keep them orderly and informed. Persephone (Persephone_0022): He's going to have difficulty keeping all of them at bay if there's no telling when court shall reopen, though. Hades (Hades_0296): {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, we need not bore our daughter with administrative drudgery. The point was merely that this missing son of Nyx has now been located. One fewer matter to resolve. HadesWithPersephoneAboutKeepsake01 Persephone (Persephone_0083): That little Pom we gave you. We commissioned a very small number using only the finest gemstones, and always meant for you to have one once you were of age... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4459): Well, surprise! And thank you. Not only is it beautiful, but it makes me feel more connected to the two of you. Persephone (Persephone_0084): Poms are said to have that effect. One could eat just a handful of their seeds and never want to leave the Underworld again! HadesWithPersephoneAboutLegions01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4156): It's really good to see you both here. Do all the Satyrs and such leave you well alone? Hades (Hades_0286): We're not the ones having to violate the principles of reality as we understand it, Daughter. It seems my father must permit his zealous followers to run free awhile longer to prevent any further {#Emph}misunderstandings {#Prev}between us. Persephone (Persephone_0017): But to answer more directly, Melinoë, the Satyrs and such all flee from us on sight. Often with little goatlike screams! Hades (Hades_0287): I know that you are not so fortunate. The least your mother and I can do is prepare you for the final confrontation that awaits. HadesWithPersephoneAboutNyxAspect01 Persephone (Persephone_0159): Nyx doesn't always show it, but she's very grateful for everything you've done, you know. You're even using her own Aspect of Xinth... it's a good thing she isn't too prideful! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5226): I often have to remind myself that so much of the world as I know it exists thanks to her... not to mention the Unseen. She's amazing... though must be very busy. Persephone (Persephone_0160): Well, the original reason your father came here at all was to alleviate some of that burden. And to think... presiding over the entire Underworld was only {#Emph}part {#Prev}of her responsibilities. Thank you for helping her. HadesWithPersephoneAboutPersephoneAspect01 Persephone (Persephone_0087): The Skull Revaal... Nyx once offered it to me for my protection, just in case. I never would have thought it would protect me even while not in my care. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4461): Would you like it back at this point, Mother? Perhaps my time as Revaal's bearer is drawing to a close now that you're back. Persephone (Persephone_0088): Well, whether the Fates already predetermined this or I'm deciding it right now, no thank you. If the Argent Skull has gotten you {#Emph}this {#Prev}far, then you two make a proper team. HadesWithPersephoneAboutPersephoneAspect02 Persephone (Persephone_0146): You're bearing my Aspect of the Skull Revaal, and making use of our family's Jeweled Pom... I'd hoped that we could aid you, but not expected this to be the way! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5222): Father's blessing and the Argent Skull make a potent combination. And I'm reminded of all the times we shared... well, that we could have shared. Persephone (Persephone_0147): Even if that other past is merely what could have been, the memories are real, and I'll cherish them... alongside the memories that we've been making since. HadesWithPersephoneAboutRenovations01 Hades (Hades_0284): Gold, everywhere, {#Emph}pah! {#Prev}The light refracting from it constantly assaults my eyes. This reconstruction shall be interminable! We're nowhere {#Emph}close {#Prev}to finishing the House itself! Persephone (Persephone_0016): It's all right, Hades. Things were quite recently much worse, and we've weathered worse storms. Why all the urgency? Hades (Hades_0285): If not for {#Emph}my {#Prev}sake, then for {#Emph}yours! {#Prev}These grounds ought to be as you always liked. But we shall tolerate my father's taste a while longer, if we must.... Apologies, Melinoë! {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, here. HadesWithPersephoneAboutUnseen01 Persephone (Persephone_0079): Our daughter, part of the Unseen... officially, Hades and I aren't even supposed to {#Emph}know {#Prev}of you... where you reside... nothing. Hades (Hades_0373): The protection of the Underworld is a responsibility we all share... but in retrospect, Nyx, in her wisdom, took certain additional precautions, yes. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4457): I don't know how well-kept of a secret the Unseen are at this point. We had to emerge from the shadows once or twice in all this. Persephone (Persephone_0080): Nyx herself would be the first to say it's useful for the Underworld to instill in others a certain kind of fear. But I feel so fortunate we know you not just from whispered tales of vengeance, but for who you are, Melinoë. HadesWithPersephoneAboutZagreusFight01 Hades (Hades_0311): Did your mother and I hear correctly that you and your brother clashed? In the midst of Elysium for all to see...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4376): No, Father, it's not what you think! It was what you could call an exhibition match; a friendly challenge, nothing more. Though Zagreus did not go easy on me. Hades (Hades_0312): A shrewd decision on the boy's part, then, or more likely it was yours. For all the troubles in the Underworld, this type of {#Emph}exhibition match{#Prev}, as you refer to it, may be exactly what the Shades require. Persephone (Persephone_0027): {#Emph}A morale boost! {#Prev}I suppose they do enjoy this type of violent entertainment over there. Well, as long as Melinoë and Zagreus are open to it... Hades (Hades_0313): You trained with the Witch of the Crossroads, he trained with the greatest warrior that ever fought in mortal wars. Who is superior shall perhaps be subject to debate. HadesWithPersephoneAboutZagreusFight02 Persephone (Persephone_0148): You fought with your brother again? In another life, I was surprised how well the two of you got on when you were growing up. Perhaps since he was older... Melinoe (MelinoeField_5223): We did get into quite a bit of trouble, as I recall. But I couldn't have asked for a better big brother. He looked out for me, played with me... and now I get to beat up on him! Persephone (Persephone_0149): Well, no need to go easy on him. Just as long as it's only for show! I'd say we've had our fill of real in-fighting in our family for the foreseeable future. HadesWithPersephoneGift01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4206): Mother, Father, I'm so grateful to have you back in my life. We've so much to catch up on, but all the time in the world. For now, this is just a small House-warming gift. Persephone (Persephone_0070): Oh {#Emph}thank {#Prev}you, this is {#Emph}perfect! {#Prev}Our supply back at the House has disappeared... perhaps Chronos had a taste for it. Hades (Hades_0218): Nectar from the highest peaks... to think we once forbade this substance here, though that was well before your time. Thank you, Daughter. And we have something here for you, in turn. A small token, but a symbol of our family as well. HadesWithPersephoneGift02 Persephone (Persephone_0071): Thank you, Daughter. We could certainly make use of this. Hades had a particular idea for it, in fact. Hades (Hades_0219): If you would permit it, Daughter... I would offer up such Nectar to the Shades assisting in the Underworld renovations underway. As an added token of appreciation for their toil. Is that acceptable to you? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4377): Of course, Father, it's yours to do with as you please. And I can think of no finer purpose for it than to reward those Shades who have remained loyal to us through all this. HadesWithPersephoneGift03 Persephone (Persephone_0072): Such a fine bottle. We graciously accept! You know, you remind me of your brother sometimes... Hades (Hades_0220): These customs that we share from those above... I ask that you not follow our traditions blindly. Such traditions may be partially responsible for the many mistakes that led us to this point. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4378): I share your cautious feeling about this, Father, but... of the many traditions of the gods, the act of giving Nectar to those we care for seems one of the better ones, in my estimation. Hades (Hades_0221): ...Perhaps so. HadesWithPersephoneGift04 Hades (Hades_0222): You ought have many others who would welcome such a gift. To have been raised in the seclusion of those Crossroads... I fear it must have been a very solitary life. More so than one would like. Persephone (Persephone_0073): Solitude is not always such a bad thing, but... certainly it couldn't have been easy on you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4379): You need have no such fear. Growing up in the Crossroads was never easy, but... I never felt alone. I always had somebody or something to confide in... I would speak sometimes even to a fountain that we have in your honor. Hades (Hades_0223): Your words are not as persuasive to me as either one of us would like. If you had grown up in my House, you would have been showered with attention, not forced to harden your hands with toil... especially for one so young. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4380): I have never regretted what I had to do, Father. And what friendships I have, I cherish. Perhaps I could have grown up with more, but I had everything I needed. Besides my parents. And brother and dog. Persephone (Persephone_0074): And now you have us, too. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4381): Thank the Fates. HadesWithPersephoneGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4382): I know some of the Nectar's going to our loyal Shades, but I would like for you and Mother to enjoy this one yourselves. Whenever the occasion fits, just... sometime. Hades (Hades_0225): The occasion for such pleasantries... perhaps after our Underworld renovations are complete, and we have taken proper stock of our resources and the Shades, then finally we may accept a moment of reprieve. Persephone (Persephone_0029): Oh, stop it, Hades. Surely we can make good on Melinoë's request sooner than that. You know better than anyone that the toil never ends, so the moments of reprieve have to be seized when they present themselves. Hades (Hades_0226): Thus speaks the Queen. Thank you for this, Daughter. But you truly need not spare such thoughts on us. We have each other once again. I myself have want for nothing more. HadesWithPersephoneGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4383): Now that you've had a Nectar for a small occasion of some sort, I did also want to give you this. For a more-special time, perhaps long from now, after we've practically forgotten how it was living apart, and the circumstances call for merriment. Persephone (Persephone_0075): This is... Ambrosia, and with such a hue as could have only come from the source... Daughter, {#Emph}thank you...! Hades (Hades_0227): Ambrosia from the heavens themselves... I scarce remember its savor. But I never shall forget what it was like living apart. Nor should any of us long for Time to take the pain of it away. Let us remember always how we reached this point together. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4384): When I was little, Lady Hecate said something similar... that the pain of the past shall always linger, though assert itself less frequently with age. Well then, perhaps we ought to celebrate the memory itself. An aeon from now, for all I care. Persephone (Persephone_0076): A celebration an aeon from now would leave us with plenty of time for preparation, so... why not, Hades? Ambrosia such as this ought to age nicely till then. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4385): Please let me know if I can help with any of the planning when the time comes. Or if there's anything else I can do while you're getting the House back in order. Persephone (Persephone_0077): It's we who should be asking this of you. When you were born, Hades and I thanked the Fates that we were blessed with such a child. But we had positively no idea... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4207_B): Thank you both...! HadesWithPersephonePostEpilogue01 Hades (Hades_0288): We heard of the return of the Three Fates. How much you had to do with it shall be for you to know, but tell us... were they in good spirits, at the least? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4157): They seemed to be. Clotho, who spoke the most by far, she seemed in quite a cheery mood, now that you mention it! So much so that I have trouble imagining her otherwise... Hades (Hades_0289): Then we are fortunate, perhaps... for they can be a temperamental bunch. Their moods may not solely dictate the nature of their weavings, but certainly must correlate. Persephone (Persephone_0018): We were told that they would cease their weavings for a while. You don't believe it, do you, though, Hades...? Hades (Hades_0290): No, absolutely not. Although I welcome each of you to draw whichever conclusions you see fit. HadesWithPersephonePostEpilogue02 Persephone (Persephone_0019): Melinoë, what do you make of this new age the Fates foretold? You know you have some mortal blood in you... perhaps it's for the best. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4158): We did all right with the Fates seemingly leaving everything to us... so if that's the way of things moving forward, I'm open to it. Though, what happens to the Underworld, if the gods are to hold less sway? Hades (Hades_0291): We shall adapt, as we have always done. But unless this {#Emph}new age {#Prev}causes mortals to be relieved of their defining trait — that they all perish, soon enough — then I should think what we do here shall always serve a vital purpose. HadesWithPersephonePostEpilogue03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4464): Do you two ever... do you have opportunity to speak with the Witch of the Crossroads... with Hecate, now and again? Persephone (Persephone_0091): Given her charge, we're not really supposed to be seen sipping Ambrosia together at this point, though the same is true of you. We do hear about her but respect her privacy. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4465): Oh I see, well... anyhow, I think... that it would mean a lot to her to hear from you every so often, if you don't mind? She fought so hard for your return... harder than anyone. Persephone (Persephone_0092): {#Emph}Hahah{#Prev}, well. I think we can find a way to get the occasional message through the veil, right, Hades? Hecate shall always have our gratitude. She saved our little daughter, after all. HadesWithPersephonePostTrueEndingChat01 Persephone (Persephone_0061): You must have been an adorable little girl, but you're not so bad right now. HadesWithPersephonePostTrueEndingChat02 Persephone (Persephone_0062): One of these days or nights we'll have to tidy up this particular chamber, Hades... HadesWithPersephonePostTrueEndingChat03 Persephone (Persephone_0065): Go show that possibility of Chronos whose side of the family is really in charge here.

HecateAboutAltCauldron01 Hecate (Hecate_0718): I remain rather partial to our old cauldron. This one that you procured with all the stars... your magick shan't just magickally improve because of it. Melinoe (Melinoe_3904): We still retain the old cauldron, of course. Just say the word and I can change it back! As for this one, a new beginning can yield powerful results, isn't that so? Hecate (Hecate_0719): Well, if this fancy bit of metalwork inspires you to greater acts, then 'tis worth its weight! I'll not ask you to change it back. And even if I did, heed {#Emph}your {#Prev}instincts, not mine. Melinoe (Melinoe_3905): I trust yours too. HecateAboutAltCauldron02 Hecate (Hecate_0720): A properly imposing cauldron, that. Perhaps more suitable for certain specialties... daemonic invocations, curses, and the like. Do you intend to further specialize? Melinoe (Melinoe_3906): Not necessarily, Headmistress. I... still have a lot of different ideas, sometimes several on a given night. It's my dream to pursue mastery in all dimensions of our craft. Hecate (Hecate_0721): Your {#Emph}dream{#Prev}, you say. We each have our leanings and yours perhaps shall manifest in time. But I do recognize the desire to avoid becoming {#Emph}limited{#Prev}, so practice as you will. Using this Python cauldron or whichever one. Melinoe (Melinoe_3907): A cauldron for every occasion! Hecate (Hecate_0722): Ever the dreamer. HecateAboutArachne01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3134): Headmistress, there must be something we can do for Arachne. Her curse torments her. What use is our craft if we cannot ease a friend's suffering? Hecate (Hecate_0551): Arachne's fate is not yours to undo. 'Tis a matter between her and Athena. I suggest you leave it well alone. Melinoe (Melinoe_3135): How... did you know it was between her and Athena? Hecate (Hecate_0552): I do not care for your insinuations, Melinoë. HecateAboutArachne02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3136): Can you help me discover who created Arachne's curse, if it wasn't Athena herself? Hecate (Hecate_0553): Why don't you ask {#Emph}her {#Prev}rather than me? I understand her hands are full, forestalling the destruction of Olympus... though surely she shall make some time for you. Melinoe (Melinoe_3216): {#Emph} HecateAboutArachne03 Hecate (Hecate_0554): Concerning your companion Arachne and her curse: Against my better judgment... I've done some searching, and have knowledge of the one who fashioned the poison. Melinoe (Melinoe_3137): You have? Excellent! Thank you, Headmistress! Who did you learn was responsible? Hecate (Hecate_0555): That matter is solely between me and the spider. Utmost discretion is required in such matters. If you wish to be an intermediary still, then let her know to seek me here. Melinoe (Melinoe_0585): Yes, Headmistress. HecateAboutArachne04 Melinoe (Melinoe_3138): Headmistress... {#Emph}you {#Prev}cursed my friend... poisoned her! You taught me never to be quick to judge, so help me understand... Hecate (Hecate_0593): Understand, then, that my allegiance forcibly is with the gods, not with arrogant mortals. You did not know the Arachne of old; she has been humbled in her current form. Melinoe (Melinoe_3139): Then she has learned her lesson! Please help me change her back. Hecate (Hecate_0594): I told you, 'tis a matter between her and Athena! For my part, I merely can express regret... to you, as well as her. Perhaps in time Athena herself may thus be swayed. Melinoe (Melinoe_3140): But... {#Emph} HecateAboutArachne05 Hecate (Hecate_0851): The woods have eyes and ears, thus I'm aware Arachne and Athena finally settled up their differences. To the extent they ever shall, I suppose. Melinoe (Melinoe_5291): Arachne always had her pride, but... I think she may have found some sort of peace. Hecate (Hecate_0852): Would that it were so. With time, feelings of scorn embed themselves deep in the flesh; in the heart. And they are not easily excised. But those two are stubborn enough to do it. HecateAboutArcana01 Hecate (Hecate_0425): Returning from the shadows restores your body, whilst meditating at your Altar emboldens your spirit. Such knowledge in the ashes of the past. Melinoe (Melinoe_0658): I'm still struggling to internalize the Arcana, Headmistress. If I share the same potential as my predecessors, why don't I feel a stronger bond? Hecate (Hecate_0426): Your bond can only be as strong as your understanding. One either learns from history or else repeats mistakes. I suggest the former. Melinoe (Melinoe_0659): ...I'll keep studying. HecateAboutArcana02 Hecate (Hecate_0406): You have been fixed upon your Altar even more than usual of late. Have the Arcana shown you aught of note? Melinoe (Melinoe_1169): I'm beginning to see the cards in a new light... each depicts a significant choice made in the past. Such knowledge may help make better choices in the future. Hecate (Hecate_0407): Indeed. We choose as wisely as we can, using what knowledge we have. So, you now clearer see into the {#Emph}cards{#Prev}, as you call them... Melinoe (Melinoe_0596): Indeed. HecateAboutArtemis01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1592): Headmistress, I found Artemis out there. I'd not expected her so soon, but then, she's quick. Speaking of which, what of Hermes, any word? Hecate (Hecate_0417): Alas, not yet. However, those two are resourceful and discreet... and Olympus remains none the wiser to our long-standing connection with them, if that is your concern. Melinoe (Melinoe_1593): My concern is their safety. May Hermes soon discover what exactly Chronos is scheming and return, though I know we can ill afford to wait. Hecate (Hecate_0418): No, we cannot. Hermes convinced me of that. HecateAboutArtemisSinging01 Hecate (Hecate_0747): The goddess of the hunt decided that the best use of her talents presently is to regale us with song! As you can hear, I managed to resist my inclination to forbid any such thing. Melinoe (Melinoe_4039): I'm grateful that you did. I know Artemis sings to clear her mind and calm her nerves, but I think all the Shades about this place appreciate it, too. Hecate (Hecate_0748): 'Tis not how I myself prefer to face adversity, though I {#Emph}am {#Prev}open to whichever techniques work. HecateAboutAspects01 Hecate (Hecate_0595): So, the Arms of Night have revealed to you some of their former selves; or future selves, perhaps. Few have earned the right to bear such weapons. Much less take advantage of their different likenesses! Melinoe (Melinoe_2521): The various Aspects I've discovered... some of the bearers I know well. Medea, Artemis... they're all connected to {#Emph}you{#Prev}, aren't they? Hecate (Hecate_0596): 'Tis not as simple as you may presume... you bear a set of artifacts whose aim is to safeguard the Underworld. Each Aspect is of somebody who played a part in this, or shall. Melinoe (Melinoe_2522): It seems I'm in good company... HecateAboutAthena01 Hecate (Hecate_0715): The Shades reporting to Odysseus suggest Athena herself appeared before you here? I mean not {#Emph}here{#Prev}, but in the Underworld. Is that something I ought believe, or no? Melinoe (Melinoe_3902): You ought. Athena gave her Gorgon Amulet, with which she's able to locate me far from where she normally resides. I trust I haven't inconvenienced her too much. Hecate (Hecate_0716): Athena cannot go wherever she may please, no matter how it seems. But now you clearly have a stronger bond with her. And she, in turn, has a means to watch you. Melinoe (Melinoe_3903): Watch {#Emph}over {#Prev}me, you mean...? Hecate (Hecate_0717): She has her task, as you have yours. HecateAboutBadgeProgress01 Hecate (Hecate_0863): At last we are the Unseen I, and feared across the realms. I thought 'twould surely take another age... Melinoe (Melinoe_5296): It wasn't a quick process but we got there, yes. For the Unseen do not relent. Hecate (Hecate_0864): Apparently not. What shall you do now? Pursue some other nigh-impossible result? Melinoe (Melinoe_5297): We'll see! HecateAboutBeasts01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0144): Headmistress, have you always been so fond of beasts? It seems you would do anything for each other. Hecate (Hecate_0029): Beasts... saddled with such an uncharitable name. Beasts are far more trusting than most any mortal or immortal I have met. Melinoe (Melinoe_0145): They make it seem so simple, don't they? To fully trust. Hecate (Hecate_0030): One knows where she stands with beasts, whether she is loved by them or doomed to sate their hunger. Would that the gods were so dependable. HecateAboutBountyBoard01 Hecate (Hecate_0624): That Pitch-Black Stone in our training grounds... I've sensed it ever since your incantation. The subtle influence of Chaos on this realm. Melinoe (Melinoe_2796): Our goals are intertwined. When I gaze upon the Stone, I begin to see different paths and possibilities in every facet. Some leading closer to our victory. Hecate (Hecate_0625): Those paths and possibilities are real, like as not; as are the splendors that await, should you indulge our primordial benefactor. There always is uncertainty where Chaos is concerned... yet I trust that Nyx's parent is an ally, not a threat. Melinoe (Melinoe_2902): I trust so too. HecateAboutCardUpgradeSystem01 Hecate (Hecate_0649): I was curious to see if you would consecrate the Altar of Ashes on your own. It ought to be further attuned to you as a result; the secrets of the Arcana, nearer to your grasp. Melinoe (Melinoe_3453): The Altar is a threshold through which we all pass, going to and from these Crossroads. A gateway to the past, present, and future. I know it isn't mine alone; it's ours. Hecate (Hecate_0650): Correct, on all three counts. HecateAboutCauldron01 Hecate (Hecate_0215): I must say, you've been putting our old cauldron to good use. I see and sense the changes in this place. Changes for all our betterment, not just your own. Melinoe (Melinoe_0652): A proper incantation is never to be used for selfish gain. Though, if I can help bring about positive change from which I benefit, isn't that selfish, still? Hecate (Hecate_0216): Discard such doubts as that. You are not thinking solely of yourself, thus you are not thinking selfishly. I've not taught you to neglect your needs, have I? Melinoe (Melinoe_0653): Of course not. Hecate (Hecate_0217): Then, good. HecateAboutCauldronWitchcraft01 Hecate (Hecate_0599): Once you're quite finished with the cauldron for the eve, I may have need of it myself... protective charms to be refreshed, wards reinforced... Melinoe (Melinoe_2526): If you've a certain incantation in mind, might I be able to assist? {#Emph}The Invocation of the Dead, Concealment in Night's Embrace{#Prev}, whichever... Hecate (Hecate_0600): You've your own matters to consider now, Melinoë. Though if you're here in the vicinity whilst I'm chanting, your voice is always welcome, joined with mine. Melinoe (Melinoe_2527): Together we shine, Headmistress. Hecate (Hecate_0580): {#Emph}Hmm. HecateAboutCerberus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2909): At the edge of the Mourning Fields... I faced some sort of dark, infernal beast. Three monstrous canine maws, bellowing with fury and sorrow. It was my father's... my {#Emph}family's {#Prev}old dog... wasn't it? Hecate (Hecate_0628): Through Odysseus we have a few reports about a creature fitting that description, more or less, but... Cerberus was {#Emph}red {#Prev}in hue, as blood. Nevertheless, a stay within the Fields could have transformative effects. {#Emph}Tsk{#Prev}, wretched thing. Torn from its home. Melinoe (Melinoe_2910): He doesn't seem to know who I am. Whether because it's been too long, or there's too much on his mind. Minds? But I felt a flash of recognition. He isn't too far gone, is he...? Hecate (Hecate_0629): The nature of a beast can never change. Like us, however, they at times must fight the Daemons that torment them... a battle in which you can assist! Trust your training, and perhaps he can yet shake the spell that's overtaken him. Melinoe (Melinoe_2911): I'm certain that he can. HecateAboutCerberus02 Hecate (Hecate_0666): You've not escaped the Mourning Fields as yet. The beast guarding the entrance into Tartarus seems insurmountable. 'Tis the effect of the Fields themselves. Melinoe (Melinoe_3468): What hope I have begins to drain from me as soon as I set foot in there. I know it's just a trick of the mind, but... Hecate (Hecate_0667): ...but an effective trick it is, I know. HecateAboutChaos01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2914): Last night, Headmistress, I traversed a gate that led me to the depths of Chaos... where I met its host! I've heard so much from you of Nyx, yet somehow I never expected to meet her mother and father. Hecate (Hecate_0638): An audience with Primordial Chaos... I'd not entirely expected that! Although given Nyx herself has not been seen since Chronos took the House of Hades, I am unsurprised. There is no fury like that of a parent bereft of their child. Does Chaos seem an ally to us, then? Melinoe (Melinoe_2915): I believe so. Hecate (Hecate_0639): Well, thank you Nyx for that... HecateAboutChronos01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1177): Headmistress, I saw him. {#Emph}Chronos! {#Prev}He was in the pathways beyond Erebus. I struck as soon as I realized who he was, but to no avail. Hecate (Hecate_0776): He thinks himself clever, the arrogant wretch. So then he knows of you. What did he say? Melinoe (Melinoe_1178): He thanked the Fates that we had finally met, as though he'd been searching for me all this time... and told me to not make the same mistakes as my family. Hecate (Hecate_0034): Eject that poisoned memory from your mind; he knows nothing of the Fates' designs. I shall reinforce all our protective sorceries, and {#Emph}you: {#Prev}Fear not your enemy; {#Emph}slay him! Melinoe (Melinoe_0219): {#Emph}Hm. HecateAboutChronos02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2520): Chronos was waiting for me again outside of Erebus. This time I recognized him right away, but I could do nothing against him... Hecate (Hecate_0033_B): Wily bastard. Arrogant to the last.... What did he say? Melinoe (Melinoe_1178): He thanked the Fates that we had finally met, as though he'd been searching for me all this time... and told me to not make the same mistakes as my family. Hecate (Hecate_0034): Eject that poisoned memory from your mind; he knows nothing of the Fates' designs. I shall reinforce all our protective sorceries, and {#Emph}you: {#Prev}Fear not your enemy; {#Emph}slay him! Melinoe (Melinoe_0219): Hm. HecateAboutChronosAnomaly01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2517): Headmistress, I saw him. Chronos! First beyond Erebus, in the guise of an old man. He then attempted to ensnare me in some vision out of time... the river of flame, everything ablaze... Hecate (Hecate_0591): Still your heart, Melinoë, you're safe. And you were able to return again, which means that all your training served you well.... So then... he realizes who you are? Melinoe (Melinoe_2518): So he claims. I broke free from his spell like it was second-nature, but... neither could I raise a hand against him. What must I do now? Hecate (Hecate_0592): Nothing has changed; you're to confront him down where he resides. Where your mother and father rightly ought to be. But go with patience, not with haste. He may know something of your power now, yet not enough. Melinoe (Melinoe_2519): Yes, Headmistress. HecateAboutChronosAnomaly02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2164): The influence of Chronos is much stronger in Oceanus than here. He attempted to ensnare me in a vision of another time. A field of flame. Hecate (Hecate_0537): Yet you were able to elude his grasp. An aspect of your condition we expected would come into play as you pushed closer to our foe. Continue with still-greater caution, nonetheless... Melinoe (Melinoe_2519): Yes, Headmistress. HecateAboutChronosBossEarlyL01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2903): Headmistress, I found him! {#Emph}Chronos! {#Prev}Deep within Tartarus, just as you said. I did everything as practiced and as planned, except... he was too strong. Hecate (Hecate_0591): Still your heart, Melinoë, you're safe. And you were able to return again, which means that all your training served you well.... So then... he realizes who you are? Melinoe (Melinoe_2904): He does. We've lost the element of surprise now, haven't we? Damn it... how could I fail? Hecate (Hecate_0592): Nothing has changed; you're to confront him down where he resides. Where your mother and father rightly ought to be. But go with patience, not with haste. He may know something of your power now, yet not enough. Melinoe (Melinoe_2905): ...I'll get him. HecateAboutChronosBossL01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2797): I reached the House, Headmistress. Did everything as practiced and as planned, except... he was too strong. Hecate (Hecate_0630): {#Emph}No{#Prev}, this is an {#Emph}excellent {#Prev}result! You are still here, having learned more of what it takes to reach our enemy, and what {#Emph}he {#Prev}can do to resist! Do you feel ready to continue your pursuit? Melinoe (Melinoe_2798): Yes. If I can reach him... I can take him. Hecate (Hecate_0631): Take him. HecateAboutChronosBossL02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3469): Again I've failed to destroy the Titan, Headmistress. Night after night he thwarts me, expecting I'll eventually give in... Hecate (Hecate_0668): But you've no such intent, correct? You cannot stop him, and neither has he been able to stop {#Emph}you. {#Prev}You are resistant to his power and he cannot bar you from {#Emph}your realm. Melinoe (Melinoe_3470): You make it sound as though I've beaten him. Hecate (Hecate_0669): Not yet; but soon enough, I trust. HecateAboutChronosBossW01 Hecate (Hecate_0632): You're back...! Now tell me everything. You found your mark? What then? Melinoe (Melinoe_2799): I reached the edge of Tartarus and made my way into the House, just as we planned. Chronos was there, on my father's throne. We clashed. He lost. But I know he isn't gone. And I was unable to linger there for long. Hecate (Hecate_0779): I trust you made each moment count. We were never going to destroy the Titan with brute force alone, but soon enough, he may yet be undone entirely. Provided you have more good tidings to report...? Melinoe (Melinoe_4728): The Mirror was intact... abandoned in the Prince's chambers. And the incantation worked! I found my brother in the past and spoke to him, but had so little time. I barely managed to convince him as to who I am. Hecate (Hecate_0780): Then speak swiftly the next opportunity you get. And continue not to overstay, lest the task end in failure. As for the Titan... study him, as I shall study what you found. Melinoe (Melinoe_0585): Yes, Headmistress. HecateAboutChronosBossW01Cont1 Hecate (Hecate_0635): Oh, by the way... something awaits you in the training grounds. You proved beyond a doubt that you're prepared. Melinoe (Melinoe_0176): Thank you, Headmistress... HecateAboutChronosBossW02 Hecate (Hecate_0781): You brought the Titan low again, but what transpired after that? Was your bygone brother more cooperative than before? Melinoe (Melinoe_4729): He doesn't know where to find Chronos, though seems willing to investigate. Perhaps he'll turn something up. I still scarce believe it's truly his past self I've spoken to... Hecate (Hecate_0782): Imagine how {#Emph}he {#Prev}feels. Continue to check up on him, but not a word of this to anybody else. Time flows ever forward, and we are not meant to travel opposite that stream. Melinoe (Melinoe_4730): It shouldn't be possible... Hecate (Hecate_0783): {#Emph}We {#Prev}determine what is possible, Melinoë. HecateAboutChronosBossW03 Hecate (Hecate_0784): We heard about the Titan's latest misfortune by your hand. Is all else proceeding as intended, by your estimation? Melinoe (Melinoe_4731): I think so. We just need to find a suitable weapon now, and then... everything that's come to pass can be undone. Hecate (Hecate_0785): Perhaps not {#Emph}everything{#Prev}, but plenty. You know the rest by heart and I'll not pry for further details. But should an unexpected setback come to pass, tell me at once. Melinoe (Melinoe_4732): I shall. HecateAboutChronosBossW04 Melinoe (Melinoe_4733): My father's spear, Gigaros... it was there in the Prince's chambers for me to find. Zagreus must have gotten access to it in his time, as I have now. One final step, then? Hecate (Hecate_0786): First let us put what you discovered to the test. Once the incantation I shall teach you is complete, seek out Typhon... and use the spear essence after his strength has waned. Melinoe (Melinoe_4734): What shall become of Typhon once I do? Hecate (Hecate_0787): ...He'll be nothing. HecateAboutChronosBossW04_A Melinoe (Melinoe_4733): My father's spear, Gigaros... it was there in the Prince's chambers for me to find. Zagreus must have gotten access to it in his time, as I have now. One final step, then? Hecate (Hecate_0788_B): Not quite. We have one opportunity to use it against Chronos, and shall take every precaution to ensure it shall have the intended result. Melinoe (Melinoe_4735): You wish for me to turn my attention to Olympus for a while, so that we can test the Temporal Spear there first? Hecate (Hecate_0789): Yes. You need to prove that this shall work. HecateAboutChronosBossW04_B Melinoe (Melinoe_4733): My father's spear, Gigaros... it was there in the Prince's chambers for me to find. Zagreus must have gotten access to it in his time, as I have now. One final step, then? Hecate (Hecate_0788): Not quite. We have one opportunity to use it against Chronos, and shall take every precaution to ensure it shall have the intended result. Perhaps whatever ails your Olympian relatives shall provide a suitable target. Melinoe (Melinoe_4735): You wish for me to turn my attention to Olympus for a while, so that we can test the Temporal Spear there first? Hecate (Hecate_0789): Yes. You need to prove that this shall work. HecateAboutCirce01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3464): I found Circe the Enchantress on my route toward Olympus; or likely, she found me. She hasn't changed a bit from what I recall. You have her keeping watch over the seas? Hecate (Hecate_0661): That I do. Selene takes to water like a cat, whilst Circe hails from the sea. Thus has it been a good arrangement for a while. I trust Circe's work retains its potency? Melinoe (Melinoe_3465): She's been great. HecateAboutCirce02 Hecate (Hecate_0662): We have a bit of a personnel problem with our Circe the Enchantress. Her isle is poised to survey our enemy's fleet, reports of which ought go directly to Odysseus. Except they go to me. Melinoe (Melinoe_3466): A gap in communication. By your leave, Headmistress, I can notify her of the proper protocol when next we meet. Hecate (Hecate_0663): You shall not speak of this to her at all. I raise the point so you can be aware. Circe has long been a valuable asset and ally. Your visits to her isle may help keep it that way. Melinoe (Melinoe_3467): Understood. HecateAboutCodex01 Hecate (Hecate_0273): Have you had opportunity to glean much from the Book of Shadows yet, Melinoë? Our task shall take you far beyond these Crossroads; you've much to learn as yet. Melinoe (Melinoe_1011): As I begin to have insights into my experiences, the Book reveals more. Are they {#Emph}your {#Prev}teachings within, Headmistress? Hecate (Hecate_0274): Not mine alone, though heed them anyway... HecateAboutCodex02 Melinoe (Melinoe_5287): The Book of Shadows... I wasn't always certain who the author was. I suspected it was you, the way it sometimes anticipated my own thoughts before they were fully formed. Hecate (Hecate_0848): You weren't entirely correct, though were on to something as to why the author understood your thoughts so well. 'Tis quite an old book... do take care of it for me. Melinoe (Melinoe_5288): I swear I will. HecateAboutCosmetics01 Hecate (Hecate_0535): These Crossroads flourish thanks to this {#Emph}renewal project {#Prev}of yours. You saw an opportunity to get it off the ground even now? Melinoe (Melinoe_2162): This is our home. It should be cared for, clean, and beautiful. I recruited Dora to assist me so that the work wouldn't have to wait forever. Hecate (Hecate_0536): {#Emph}Dora? {#Prev}I've not once heard the invocation of {#Emph}her {#Prev}name and {#Emph}work {#Prev}in the same breath. To think that you persuaded {#Emph}that {#Prev}one to be of service. Melinoe (Melinoe_2163): She's pleased to help. HecateAboutCrossroads01 Hecate (Hecate_0644): Grow not attached to such a place as this; you belong within the luxury of your great father's House. Melinoe (Melinoe_1667): As you say, Headmistress... HecateAboutEris01 Hecate (Hecate_0601): Eris has returned to us, I trust you've seen? 'Twas my dearest hope that leaving all her rubbish here would soon enough inspire her to pick it up, but alas.... You stay away from her. Melinoe (Melinoe_2528): I thought perhaps you'd finally relieved her of her entry privileges. I won't let Eris turn this place into a sty for pigs, even if it means having to clean up after her myself. Hecate (Hecate_0602): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, how she'd chortle could she see now the frustration on your face. I know, ignoring things is seldom how one makes them go away, but... when it comes to Eris, I fear it's our best shot... Melinoe (Melinoe_1948): {#Emph}Ngh. HecateAboutErisFight01 Hecate (Hecate_0645): Sister Selene notified me it was Eris herself who barred you from gaining the heights of Olympus. She never should have got her hands on the Rail of Adamant again, that {#Emph}wretch. Melinoe (Melinoe_3445): Headmistress, is there truly nothing we can do? Your oath to Nyx means Eris can come and go here as she pleases, only to try and blast me to bits when I approach my goal? Hecate (Hecate_0646): One must carefully consider the terms of binding contracts, Melinoë. A mistake on my part you are paying for firsthand, {#Emph}heh. {#Prev}And I apologize. Do bring her hell when next you meet? Melinoe (Melinoe_3446): Sounds good... HecateAboutFamiliars01 Hecate (Hecate_0281): That indolent little amphibian whom you keep... did my eyes deceive, or did I see him hopping rather energetically toward the egress? Melinoe (Melinoe_1019): You saw it true! I've compelled little Frinos to join me in my attempts out there. Surely you've taught me wards and charms enough to keep a Familiar safe? Hecate (Hecate_0282): One can but hope! And may your Familiar keep {#Emph}you {#Prev}safe, in turn. And perhaps scrounge up some more roots and such for us. Melinoe (Melinoe_0577): {#Emph}Mm! HecateAboutFamiliars02 Hecate (Hecate_0283): A cat recently strutted clear into our grove, as though my wards of shadow weren't even there! Please tell me that's a new Familiar of yours? Melinoe (Melinoe_1020): That would be Toula, Headmistress, and yes! I figured I could use a confident and independent companion such as that. Hecate (Hecate_0284): As can we all. The beasts whom you entrust are welcome here. Would that all our acquaintances were such a welcome sight... Melinoe (Melinoe_0596): Indeed. HecateAboutFamiliars03 Melinoe (Melinoe_2523): How fare Hecuba and Gale lately, Headmistress? They must be ill-at-ease with all of the bustle and new faces and the like. Hecate (Hecate_0597): Oh, they're fine. The hound and polecat make strange bedfellows, but are able to withstand more than their share of hardship or discomfort. Especially when you lavish them with attention! Melinoe (Melinoe_2524_B): I'm sure to win their hearts one of these nights! HecateAboutFamily01 Hecate (Hecate_0037): You always reminded me of your father, Melinoë, but lately you remind me of your mother... more and more. The concern for others that you sometimes show... it can be an exploitable weakness. Melinoe (Melinoe_0154): I would never put any such concerns ahead of the task, Headmistress. Hecate (Hecate_0038): See that you don't! Although my remark was not intended as admonishment; it was my honor to have known your family... even if merely from the shadows. Melinoe (Melinoe_0155): They'll be avenged. HecateAboutFamily02 Hecate (Hecate_0021): Vengeance for your family awaits you, far below. I'm certain they would be proud of what you have become. Bear them in your heart when you strike. Melinoe (Melinoe_0048): Headmistress, I'll bear them in my heart but... I have no memory of them. How could I? You're the one who's always been there for me. Hecate (Hecate_0022): {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, don't say such things; I am {#Emph}not {#Prev}your mother, Melinoë. So much she could have taught you, I cannot. Never compare us. Melinoe (Melinoe_0049): I... OK. HecateAboutFamilyPortrait01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3459): The family portrait in my tent... I have been thinking on it more and more, I... never asked you where you got it from. Hecate (Hecate_0656): 'Twould be stranger if you did, for the answer ought be obvious to you. Though, you would know the circumstances? Melinoe (Melinoe_3460): Yes, Headmistress, if you please. I know it was a time you would never wish to revisit, but it's important to me. Hecate (Hecate_0657): Of that I have no doubt. When Chronos stormed your father's House, I fled with but three things: Hypnos, because he was there; that family portrait, which pulled at my heart; and you. Melinoe (Melinoe_3461): Only the three...? Hecate (Hecate_0658): I had but an instant, and I am threefold. HecateAboutFates01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0970): I dreamt of Father once again. When Chronos came for him, and you took me to safety. Except this time, I remained there longer than before. Hecate (Hecate_0271): 'Tis more than a dream, of course. And what else did you learn whilst you lingered thus? Melinoe (Melinoe_2916): I learned Chronos wanted for Father to tell him where to locate the Three Fates. Chronos hates them, or feels threatened by them. He's been searching for them all this time, hasn't he? And finally found them. Hecate (Hecate_0640): Which means they may not take our side if forced to choose. I feared as much, yet didn't wish to lend the possibility my voice. Well, this certainly fits the spirit of the news swift Hermes relayed when he spurred us to act! {#Emph}Something real real bad{#Prev}, I believe were his words? Melinoe (Melinoe_2917): {#Emph}Real real bad{#Prev}, yes... HecateAboutGarden01 Hecate (Hecate_0723): Cultivating all those many different types of greenery. We are in the realm of the dead, lest you forget, Melinoë! Yet here you tend your garden. Melinoe (Melinoe_3908): No better place to grow reagents above or below. But more than that, it's something small I can look forward to whenever I return. Helps keep me centered. Hecate (Hecate_0724): There's no need to explain. The Earth obliges you; 'tis wise to take advantage of good fortunes such as that. Melinoe (Melinoe_3909): I merely borrow. HecateAboutHades01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1029): I found him, Headmistress! My father! Chronos has him locked away in Tartarus. But, I couldn't save him... he asked I leave him be... Hecate (Hecate_0295): Truly? How utterly predictable of Chronos to gloat in such a way. I regret that your reunion with Lord Hades thus transpired... though, I am gladdened you discovered him. How does he fare? Melinoe (Melinoe_1030): He... {#Emph}ungh. {#Prev}I really wouldn't know. He seemed sound of mind and body, and he knew me soon enough. Gave me what blessing he could still bestow. What can we do? Hecate (Hecate_0296): If he asked you leave him be, then 'tis evidence he wishes to remain unseen. Use full discretion and be brief, should you encounter him again; and {#Emph}I {#Prev}shall see about ensuring Chronos remains ignorant of your newfound connection. Melinoe (Melinoe_1031): ...By your leave. HecateAboutHades01_B Melinoe (Melinoe_5474): I ought have told you by now but I found him, Headmistress... my father. Chronos has him locked in Tartarus like a common prisoner... he asked I leave him be. Hecate (Hecate_0295): Truly? How utterly predictable of Chronos to gloat in such a way. I regret that your reunion with Lord Hades thus transpired... though, I am gladdened you discovered him. How does he fare? Melinoe (Melinoe_1030): He... {#Emph}ungh. {#Prev}I really wouldn't know. He seemed sound of mind and body, and he knew me soon enough. Gave me what blessing he could still bestow. What can we do? Hecate (Hecate_0296): If he asked you leave him be, then 'tis evidence he wishes to remain unseen. Use full discretion and be brief, should you encounter him again; and {#Emph}I {#Prev}shall see about ensuring Chronos remains ignorant of your newfound connection. Melinoe (Melinoe_1031): ...By your leave. HecateAboutHades02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3456): Headmistress, I've a message from my father that he asked me to relay: He sends his deepest gratitude... Hecate (Hecate_0654): Lord Hades told you this? {#Emph}Whyever for? {#Prev}He {#Emph}rots {#Prev}in his own prison whilst the Titan ransacks his domain! My charge was to safeguard the realm and I did not. Melinoe (Melinoe_3457): Father spoke of when he left me in your care, when Chronos struck. He must have feared the worst. Now he knows I'm well... all thanks to you. Hecate (Hecate_0655): No, Melinoë, all this is thanks to {#Emph}Chronos. {#Prev}Your father would do well to save his gratitude ere we settle certain scores. Though... speak not to him of this... undignified response. I merely was taken aback. Melinoe (Melinoe_3458): Of course. I understand. HecateAboutHermes01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1173): Hermes is back, Headmistress. He was able to lend some of his swiftness, and... also asked that I come to the aid of Olympus. Has the hour grown so desperate up there? Hecate (Hecate_0423): He would not ask otherwise. To be sure, this complicates the task. My view, however, is that you are not yet prepared for the surface. I'll not lift the wards barring that path. Melinoe (Melinoe_1174): And if I were to lift them myself? I've seen you do it. Hecate (Hecate_0424): Then you'll be more prepared than you are now. Melinoe (Melinoe_4840): {#Emph}Permeation of Witching-Wards... HecateAboutHypnosWakeUp01 Hecate (Hecate_0853): Hypnos certainly left in a hurry. It took you longer to wake him than I initially surmised, but 'twas for the best. Melinoe (Melinoe_5292): What, you {#Emph}knew {#Prev}this would happen? Why didn't you say anything for all the times I tried to break him out of his slumber? I thought you were ignoring him. Hecate (Hecate_0854): Oh I was, after I saw that you had learned sufficiently. Your affinity toward dreams and the like proved necessary to the task, and Hypnos, in his way, was an accessory to that. Melinoe (Melinoe_5293): You brought him here for me to practice on? Hecate (Hecate_0855): He did require a place to stay. HecateAboutIcarus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3899): Headmistress, I saw Icarus up there, during my voyage toward Olympus. He flies free, but fights for us still... doing what he can to disrupt the Titan's legions. Hecate (Hecate_0712): And...? You need not make attempts to endear him to {#Emph}me. {#Prev}My judgment of one's character need not affect your own. Melinoe (Melinoe_3900): I just... sometimes I worry you think he abandoned us during a time of need, and wasn't a good influence on me... Hecate (Hecate_0713): You need not speculate about my thoughts. The follies of young Icarus are positively mild in comparison to most. I harbor no ill will toward him; he'd not be flying if I did. Melinoe (Melinoe_3901): Is he still welcome here, at least? Hecate (Hecate_0714): If that is both your wish and his... HecateAboutMedea01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2513): I'd not expected Lady Medea to be stationed in Ephyra still, Headmistress. To think even a witch of her experience was unable to prevent the city's fall. Hecate (Hecate_0588): 'Twas not her responsibility to try. Medea was there to blend with the locals. It seems she's even more successful at it now, with most of them deceased. I trust she aided you in her own way? Melinoe (Melinoe_2514): That she did, yes. HecateAboutMedea02 Hecate (Hecate_0589): How fares Medea on the surface lately from your point of view? Having a grand old time by her account, and Sister Selene seems to think the same! Perhaps I should not be surprised. Melinoe (Melinoe_2515): Lady Medea does seem very much at home amid all the death and decay, which fuels her research. She's always toiling at one curse or another. Is that a concern? Hecate (Hecate_0590): My concern is only for her well-being, and it sounds as though she is all right for now. So long as her {#Emph}research {#Prev}does not come back to haunt her anytime soon. Melinoe (Melinoe_2516): I'll be checking up on her. HecateAboutMoros01 Hecate (Hecate_0421): One more of Nyx's kin is here for us to mind. Your incantation tracked him after all! {#Emph}Doom {#Prev}typically arrives {#Emph}uninvited{#Prev}, of course. Melinoe (Melinoe_1591): Lord Moros is to be our guest. I know his presence must seem an ill portent, but if the Fates wanted him here, who are we to fight it? Hecate (Hecate_0422): Who, indeed. HecateAboutNemesis01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0152): This task... why does it fall solely to me, Headmistress? Because, Nemesis, she... Hecate (Hecate_0035): {#Emph}She {#Prev}is a burden. Had I not sworn to Nyx that I would watch over her children, I'd have cast her out for insubordination long ago. Melinoe (Melinoe_0153): She's frustrated you haven't given her a chance. Her strength far surpasses mine and she's trained at least as hard; I've seen it! Hecate (Hecate_0036): Why defend her thus, Melinoë? Her attitude speaks far louder than she. I shall entrust nothing of import to one such as that. Melinoe (Melinoe_2244): {#Emph} HecateAboutNightmares01 Hecate (Hecate_0285): Your dreams have troubled you again, I see. Despite your brave attempts to conceal it. Melinoe (Melinoe_1021): I can manage them, Headmistress, it's just... it's Chronos. I now hear him even when I'm still as death. Hecate (Hecate_0286): Then turn your nightmares into his. Your subconscious self is your greatest refuge. Let none there remain whom you do not permit. HecateAboutOceanus01 Hecate (Hecate_0514): 'Tis fortunate your father's realm is vast indeed, that you may circumnavigate it at the edge of Oceanus, where our enemy is relatively weak. Melinoe (Melinoe_1027): If we cannot pass directly through Elysium, then we shall make what way we can. Though the fiends that lurk the border of the sea care not for my presence. Hecate (Hecate_0515): God-hating monsters with salt in their veins; the seas covering the world's surface just were not enough for them. The sunken chambers they occupy have not yet fallen to Chronos, at least. HecateAboutOlympus01 Hecate (Hecate_0703): Odysseus and I... long has one of us been certain you would find your way to Mount Olympus and direct your efforts there. The other was certain you'd do no such thing. Melinoe (Melinoe_3893): Before you even ask, there's absolutely no way you're making me guess which one of you was which in that particular disagreement, Headmistress. Hecate (Hecate_0704): I always said how you achieve the task is up to you. 'Tis not for me to guide your every step! Then was it worth it, climbing to those heights? Melinoe (Melinoe_3894): Entirely. And I intend to go again. Hecate (Hecate_0705): May your intent be true. HecateAboutPalace01 Hecate (Hecate_0777): Were the heights of Olympus all that you imagined, at the Palace of Lord Zeus? If you're to overcome such hardships to reach that point, the view had best be worth the while. Melinoe (Melinoe_4726): The palace grounds were like nothing I've ever beheld. Though everything was so vivid, I scarce could see at all. I felt as though I didn't belong there. Hecate (Hecate_0778): That you do not. Well, as long as your mountain relatives showed you a bit of hospitality in the brief time you had! Melinoe (Melinoe_4727): They did but... I'm glad I'm back. HecateAboutPressure01 Hecate (Hecate_0529): Much is expected of you. The pressure that you feel; you never speak of it, and yet full well I know it's there. Your constant companion. Melinoe (Melinoe_2133): I can hardly distinguish between pressure and faith anymore. My entire life has led to this, and all of you are counting on me. Are you truly so certain in my inevitable success, Headmistress? Hecate (Hecate_0530): Pressure and faith are intertwined, 'tis true. Ever in conflict. Should the pressure utterly prevail, out comes despair. Only then do we truly falter. Melinoe (Melinoe_2134): You didn't answer my question. The combined might of the gods was not enough to stop Chronos before. And you know the Fates are unpredictable. My success is not a certainty... Hecate (Hecate_0531): My faith is not in outcomes, 'tis in you! And I've enough of it to last. Should you find yours lacking, I shall always spare you some of mine. Melinoe (Melinoe_2135): ...Thank you for believing in me. Hecate (Hecate_0532): No need. HecateAboutPrometheus01 Hecate (Hecate_0706): You flushed Prometheus out from his hiding-spot. Slipped from his chains somehow! Whether he's a pure idealist or merely in it for rebellion's sake, I've yet to ascertain. Melinoe (Melinoe_3895): His reasons for siding with Chronos seem plain enough; for one, he wants his vengeance on Lord Uncle Zeus and the rest. And for another, he's a Titan himself. Hecate (Hecate_0707): {#Emph}I {#Prev}am a Titaness as well, as is Sister Selene, lest you forget! Our lineage need not dictate our loyalties or principles. Although perhaps Prometheus sees otherwise. Melinoe (Melinoe_3896): Is it true he can see all that is to come? Hecate (Hecate_0708): He's merely mad, perhaps. And in more ways than one. HecateAboutPrometheus02 Hecate (Hecate_0760): The fire-thief Prometheus insists on barring your path toward the mountain summit still. What nonsense has he filled your head with recently? Melinoe (Melinoe_4048): He seems to bear a deep sense of responsibility and guilt for mortalkind. I'm concerned he aims to spread dissension in our ranks... some Shades who serve our cause must harbor sympathies. Hecate (Hecate_0761): It sounds to me as though you are beginning to harbor such sympathies yourself. Do not be deceived by his lofty claims; he's sided with our enemy, and made that clear. Melinoe (Melinoe_4049): Yes... understood. HecateAboutPrometheusL01 Hecate (Hecate_0709): Hermes informed me that Prometheus redoubled his attacks upon Olympus, after he fended you aside. Have I not trained you how to withstand flames? Melinoe (Melinoe_3897): If only all he had was flames, but no, he has a vicious Eagle pet and more. What of Olympus, what has he done? Hecate (Hecate_0710): He's kept the gods on their back foot. Never fully committing his forces, avoiding fights he cannot win! Frustrating adversary, even if he shall not prevail. Melinoe (Melinoe_3898): Why not? Hecate (Hecate_0711): He's but one Titan 'gainst a dozen or more gods. HecateAboutQuestLog01 Hecate (Hecate_0623): At least our cauldron's finally purified, praise the Fates! Speaking of which, are you as yet considering an invocation to them? I have my doubts that they would listen, even now... Melinoe (Melinoe_2900): If there's any chance the Three Fates shall aid us, I'll take it. Thank you for preparing things for me. Though, I'm well short of freshly picked reagents still. Hecate (Hecate_0416): {#Emph}Mm. {#Prev}I'd offer such reagents if I could but, as you venture past this glade look carefully along your path and you shall find them. Fates willing... Melinoe (Melinoe_0585): Yes, Headmistress. HecateAboutQuestLog02 Hecate (Hecate_0419): The Fates indulged you after all. That is their scroll beside your tent; it followed you out of the shadows. Perhaps it can provide some answers. Melinoe (Melinoe_0968): Would that it does. The Fated List has tasked me with ensuring certain minor prophecies are fulfilled, though says little else as yet. Hecate (Hecate_0420): May it reward your efforts, at least. But do not expect the Fates to always favor you; the bane of our enemy is not necessarily our friend. Melinoe (Melinoe_1800): We'll have to take our chances... HecateAboutRelationships01 Hecate (Hecate_0664): You have a flush about you I could see as you approached! No need to tell me of its source, if you prefer to keep whomever it is to yourself. Melinoe (Melinoe_3472): {#Emph}Whomever it is{#Prev}, Headmistress? Could it not have been the product of a balmy night, or lingering effect of my return? Hecate (Hecate_0665): Unlikely. Look, Melinoë, I was much like you once. I've said to you before that feelings mustn't be ignored. Heed the ones that spur you on, they're good! Confront the rest. Melinoe (Melinoe_3473): Plenty of each... HecateAboutResources01 Hecate (Hecate_0233): Have you been finding anything of use out there, in your forays? No point returning empty-handed. Though you may lack the necessary tools, I suppose. Melinoe (Melinoe_0660): Erebus still teems with hidden life. I'm finding all sorts of things we need out there. I'm very grateful for the purse! It never weighs me down. Hecate (Hecate_0234): A witch cannot afford to be encumbered. The blessings and such from your relatives may be fleeting, but whatever goes into that purse isn't going anywhere. Not till you use it, of course. HecateAboutResources02 Melinoe (Melinoe_1022): I wanted to ask you something, Headmistress. All these reagents I've been gathering, taking from the Earth. From Mother Gaia. How can I make it up to her? Hecate (Hecate_0287): Well, you can start by not wallowing in senseless guilt. Think you that Gaia would reveal her abundances to you if she believed you would not put them to good use? Melinoe (Melinoe_1023): But you taught me never to take more than I need. Now I'm taking everything in sight. Hecate (Hecate_0288): And Gaia knows you'll need all that and more. Fear not, your plunder returns whence it came through your craft. If not your garden there. Melinoe (Melinoe_0577): Mm! HecateAboutResources03 Hecate (Hecate_0289): You're frustrated, Melinoë. Why can't I simply furnish you with all of the reagents you require? So many incantations you could sooner cast... Melinoe (Melinoe_1024): I know full well the answer, Headmistress. Your own reagents bring power to your craft, as my own do to mine. Only through the effort of their procurement do they gain their properties. Hecate (Hecate_0290): Just so. At times 'tis quite the pain, admittedly. Yet what is our craft but making our intentions manifest? For which there can be no shortcuts. Melinoe (Melinoe_1025): No shortcuts. HecateAboutResources03_B Hecate (Hecate_0858): The Tactician furnishes you with some of the reagents you require. Yet why not I? So many incantations you could sooner cast. Melinoe (Melinoe_1024): I know full well the answer, Headmistress. Your own reagents bring power to your craft, as my own do to mine. Only through the effort of their procurement do they gain their properties. Hecate (Hecate_0290): Just so. At time 'tis quite the pain, admittedly. Yet what is our craft but making our intentions manifest? For which there can be no shortcuts. Melinoe (Melinoe_1025): No shortcuts. HecateAboutSayingLittle01 Hecate (Hecate_0865): This all has come to be a comfortable routine. Each night you return refreshed; tireless. But I, at least, ought take a bit of rest. Melinoe (Melinoe_5298): I think we have things under control lately, so please do. Will you be going anywhere? Hecate (Hecate_0866): Not yet. But I may be less talkative, as is my tendency. Melinoe (Melinoe_5299): Be well, Hecate. Hecate (Hecate_0867): And you. HecateAboutSelene01 Hecate (Hecate_0014): Sister Selene tells me that she lent you her brilliance and might. You were able to draw her down even within this place? Melinoe (Melinoe_0043): I found a source of moonlight and invoked Selene's aid using the Words, Headmistress. I can't imagine the extent of her power. Hecate (Hecate_0015): You know her power perfectly well. You simply haven't had the opportunities to wield it. You shall have them very soon, I think. HecateAboutShades01 Hecate (Hecate_0235): The Shades about this place are all abuzz in their support of you, you know. You have a gift for leaving an impression on them. And for compelling more of them to join with us. Melinoe (Melinoe_0661): They were just people once, or other living beings. All they ever needed was something to believe in, in death as well as life. And a way out of Erebus. Hecate (Hecate_0236): {#Emph}Hm{#Prev}, well. They're sworn to you, that much is clear to me. I'd purge them all if I had any doubt! Perhaps they think they'll find a cushy spot within Elysium once all is said and done. Melinoe (Melinoe_0662): I think it's more than that. HecateAboutStormStop01 Hecate (Hecate_0758): Chronos must believe he has the upper hand now that Olympus has the Father of All Monsters bearing down on them night after night. But he has made a grave mistake... Melinoe (Melinoe_4046): Typhon cannot be controlled... if he no longer had Olympus to contend with, he would probably come after Chronos next. There must be some way we can redirect his rage. Hecate (Hecate_0759): If not his rage, the very nature of his being... I have always taught you that our craft is never to be used for destruction alone. But, no rule is immutable. Let us use our enemies' strengths against them, to rid us of them all. Melinoe (Melinoe_4737): {#Emph}Disintegration of Monstrosity... HecateAboutStormStop01_B Hecate (Hecate_0758): Chronos must believe he has the upper hand now that Olympus has the Father of All Monsters bearing down on them night after night. But he has made a grave mistake... Melinoe (Melinoe_4736): Headmistress, are we finally prepared? To use the Temporal Spear against Typhon... and then Chronos after that. Hecate (Hecate_0790): I do believe we are at last, Melinoë. Once the incantation I shall teach you is complete, seek that monster, and then use the spear essence after his strength has waned. Melinoe (Melinoe_4734): What shall become of Typhon once I do? Hecate (Hecate_0787): ...He'll be nothing. HecateAboutStormStopNotCast01 Hecate (Hecate_0945): Disintegration of Monstrosity is yours now to incant if you so choose, and yet you hesitate. Ought I to be concerned? Melinoe (Melinoe_5734): No more than we all should be of late, Headmistress. I wish to make additional preparations before committing to the final phase of the task. Or shall I rush headlong into it now? Hecate (Hecate_0946): Do not be cheeky with me. 'Tis hardly the occasion to begin making light when you seldom have thus far. Get ready, then. As patiently as you must. Melinoe (Melinoe_5735): Working on it. HecateAboutSurface01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5046): Headmistress, what is that you and Odysseus are planning? He's always with his charts and diagrams. Hecate (Hecate_0859): Our Tactician always plans ahead, and is plotting a course from the nearest Underworld entrance all the way to Olympus, through the enemy's ranks... just in case. Melinoe (Melinoe_5047): In case of what...? I can't go up there, and Chronos is the opposite way. Are matters on Olympus growing worse? Hecate (Hecate_0860): We are awaiting confirmation about that. These are mere possibilities for now; {#Emph}distractions{#Prev}, even. Remain focused. Melinoe (Melinoe_0148): But... {#Emph}mm. HecateAboutSurface02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0586): Headmistress, if Olympus is besieged, then why am I not permitted on the surface? If I could aid the gods, then they could aid us even more! Hecate (Hecate_0218): Melinoë, however you complete the task is up to you; I have not barred you from the surface. But I caution, if you go, your strength shall fail you. Your birthright is to blame; no fault of yours. Melinoe (Melinoe_0587): Born in the Underworld and here I'll stay, thank the Fates. I don't intend to live up there, I just.... Do you know how long I'd even have? Hecate (Hecate_0219): I know your brother and father had a day at best ere they could not stand it any longer. Perhaps you're different, but don't count on it. Melinoe (Melinoe_0588): A day at best...? HecateAboutSurface03 Hecate (Hecate_0220): You visited the surface. I can't imagine {#Emph}that {#Prev}played out particularly well. At least you made it back at all. Melinoe (Melinoe_0589): It was draining... even at night, something about being under the stars, I... didn't know there were so many. It was more than I could take. You were right. Hecate (Hecate_0221): A lesson learned, and an experience gained. The Fates themselves do not want you up there. What shall you do? Melinoe (Melinoe_0590): I have an incantation to complete. I don't need to stay forever on the surface... I just need to hold on long enough to make it to Olympus... Hecate (Hecate_0222): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, then you seek to improve this aspect of yourself, without rejecting it outright. I see how that may work... Melinoe (Melinoe_0591): It has to... HecateAboutSurface03_B Hecate (Hecate_0220): You visited the surface. I can't imagine {#Emph}that {#Prev}played out particularly well. At least you made it back at all. Melinoe (Melinoe_0589): It was draining... even at night, something about being under the stars, I... didn't know there were so many. It was more than I could take. You were right. Hecate (Hecate_0221): A lesson learned, and an experience gained. The Fates themselves do not want you up there. What shall you do? Melinoe (Melinoe_2947): Only my task. HecateAboutSurfaceSurvival01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0592): Headmistress... Olympus seems reluctant to ask outright, but I can tell my family there needs me. I cannot shake the sense that I have to help them, before I can achieve our task. Hecate (Hecate_0223): You needn't shake that sense, for it may well be accurate. Are you still thinking of an incantation that may help you to survive such a journey? Melinoe (Melinoe_0593): I am. Up there, I'll be like a fish out of water, right? Suffocating. But with a proper incantation, I was thinking maybe I could hold my breath. Until Olympus is secure. Hecate (Hecate_0224): Such a spell shall not be simple. Though, if you demonstrate that you're sufficiently well traveled, then... perhaps magick such as that shall help you go farther still. Melinoe (Melinoe_0594): I'm counting on it. HecateAboutSurfaceSurvival02 Hecate (Hecate_0225): Your recent travels to the surface. How were you able to survive up there? You were away for longer than I would have expected. Melinoe (Melinoe_0595): My surface-breathing incantation made a difference after all, Headmistress. I still felt the oppressive atmosphere up there, weighing down on me... but not crushing me quite like before. Hecate (Hecate_0226): Magick born of your resolve. I'm impressed, though not entirely surprised. May your craft thus protect you ere Olympus is secure. Melinoe (Melinoe_0596): Indeed. HecateAboutSurfaceSurvival03 Hecate (Hecate_0749): It must be very difficult for you up there. My aim was to prepare you for the dangers of the Underworld, not those Olympus ought be able to take care of on its own. Melinoe (Melinoe_4040): Every misstep on the surface is a harsher lesson even than below. I've become more used to it, but I'm constantly reminded I should not be able to set foot up there at all. Hecate (Hecate_0750): And yet you carry on! Notice how I do not even attempt to cure you of that stubbornness; 'tis probably your family's most pervasive trait. Well, if you wish to keep making things even harder on yourself, at least you know the way. Melinoe (Melinoe_4041): I like having options. HecateAboutTask01 Hecate (Hecate_0210): What troubles you, Melinoë? Your brow is furrowed not with fierceness but with doubt... the one emotion we cannot afford. Melinoe (Melinoe_0582): {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, Headmistress, it's just... I'm struggling to muster the rage I should feel. I'm tasked with slaying a Titan I do not even know, to avenge a family I cannot remember... Hecate (Hecate_0211): Your feelings never lie to you; 'tis their origins that may deceive. You feel no rage? Then {#Emph}you {#Prev}are in control. Tell me, do you question the need to complete our task? Melinoe (Melinoe_0583): No, Headmistress. Treachery against the House of Hades cannot go unpunished. Hecate (Hecate_0212): Just so. Center yourself on that. HecateAboutTask02 Hecate (Hecate_0019): How fares the task thus far, Melinoë? Our enemy yet remains indisposed with more pressing matters. The time to strike at him is now. Melinoe (Melinoe_0046): There is much left to do, Headmistress. You must know that. How much time do I have? Hecate (Hecate_0020): Who can say? Our enemy is Time itself. Time's passage seems to bear little meaning anymore. Do not rush needlessly. The task shall only take longer that way. Melinoe (Melinoe_0047): I'll do my best. HecateAboutThessaly01 Hecate (Hecate_0659): How fares the ever-sinking fleet of ships within the Rift of Thessaly? 'Tis a wonder Chronos gathered as many followers as he has, using such shoddily built craft. Melinoe (Melinoe_3462): The fleet shows no real sign of slowing down. Fortunately, the same sorcery that seems to be holding those ships together lets me transfer quickly from one to the next. Are all surface ships so odd-looking? Hecate (Hecate_0660): I certainly think not. {#Emph}These {#Prev}are merely emblematic of the Titan's false promises of a new age. They assault not just Olympus but our sensibilities as well. Melinoe (Melinoe_3463): We'll fight them off. HecateAboutTimeStop01 Hecate (Hecate_0636): Those Sands that you recovered from our enemy. They've something of his nature in each tiny grain. A key of sorts, to the Dissolution of Time. Do you concur? Melinoe (Melinoe_2912): I do. That very incantation sprang to mind... an expression of all you taught me of his weaknesses. A means to unravel his very being... to bring death to Chronos at last. He doesn't seem to realize it's possible... still thinks I'm just an agent of Olympus. Hecate (Hecate_0637): 'Tis merely evidence that our concerted efforts have not been in vain. You cross the Underworld like a tempest, whilst I remain in shadows. But, when the Titan's time at last comes to an end, I {#Emph}dearly {#Prev}wish to be there myself. To see the look on his face. Melinoe (Melinoe_2913): We'll get him, Headmistress... HecateAboutTorch01 Hecate (Hecate_0642): I recall when I myself first grasped the Flames of Ygnium. I must have been about your age. Now you are possessed of their power. Melinoe (Melinoe_1014): All it takes is a bit of light to cast a long shadow; isn't that so, Headmistress? I'll do my best to wield the Flames as you have taught. Hecate (Hecate_0643): In your {#Emph}own {#Prev}way, Melinoë. HecateAboutTyphonAltFightW01 Hecate (Hecate_0849): Selene indicates that you seemingly withstood the Vow of Rivals all the way to the end. She's not exactly prone to error, but such a claim I need to verify. Melinoe (Melinoe_5289): Then consider the claim verified. I almost expected some great feast or ceremony considering all it took. Though I suppose that's not the way the will of Night is done. Hecate (Hecate_0850): Nyx herself would say, {#Emph}seek to be valuable, not to be known. {#Prev}Selene and I at least know what you achieved. But if 'tis glory you desire, you were born in the wrong realm. Melinoe (Melinoe_5290): This was glory enough. HecateAboutTyphonDeath01 Hecate (Hecate_0796): The foul deed is done. Have no pity for that monster, only gratitude... for yielding his power in his absence. Now you are ready for the final phase. Melinoe (Melinoe_5018): Before I depart... my brother asked something I didn't know how to answer. If Chronos is destroyed before all this... what exactly happens to us here and now? Hecate (Hecate_0797): Let us discover the truth of it together. I am certain only that this is not goodbye. The conclusion of your task is at hand. {#Emph}Go{#Prev}, end this. Melinoe (Melinoe_5019): ...I'll see you again soon. HecateAboutTyphonFight01 Hecate (Hecate_0751): Has the thin air upon that mountain made you mad, Melinoë? Confronting Typhon of all creatures face to face! Hermes told me everything. Save what was going through your head. Melinoe (Melinoe_4042): I was not about to turn my back on my family, especially not after having come so far. What should I have done, flee at the first sight of that monster? We flee only as a last resort. Hecate (Hecate_0752): That we do, and you had best keep reminding yourself of it ere you confront the Father of All Monsters again. Do not take unnecessary risks, or lose sight of the task. Melinoe (Melinoe_4047): We do as we must. HecateAboutTyphonFight01_B Hecate (Hecate_0751): Has the thin air upon that mountain made you mad, Melinoë? Confronting Typhon of all creatures face to face! Hermes told me everything. Save what was going through your head. Melinoe (Melinoe_4043): He's much, much larger than any other foe I've faced, but that doesn't make him invincible. I suspected he'd have a difficult time contending with a small, quick adversary. Hecate (Hecate_0753): I would commend you for the outcome were I not so utterly aghast. The Father of All Monsters may not be quite so easy to surprise ere you confront him again. Do not take unnecessary risks or lose sight of the task. Melinoe (Melinoe_4047): We do as we must. HecateAboutTyphonFight02 Hecate (Hecate_0754): 'Tis a wonder that your mountain relatives are still able to be of benefit to you whilst having Typhon at their gates. Do they have any sort of strategy to stop him, do you know? Melinoe (Melinoe_4044): They're working together to drive him back, along with the Titan's legions. But if they have a greater plan to put an end to the assault, they've not yet let on. Hecate (Hecate_0755): Let us assume then that they've no such plan. However, I'm beginning to think the Father of All Monsters may yet figure into ours. Collect what samples that you can from him. Melinoe (Melinoe_0042): I shall, Headmistress. HecateAboutTyphonFight02_B Hecate (Hecate_0754): 'Tis a wonder that your mountain relatives are still able to be of benefit to you whilst having Typhon at their gates. Do they have any sort of strategy to stop him, do you know? Melinoe (Melinoe_4044): They're working together to drive him back, along with the Titan's legions. But if they have a greater plan to put an end to the assault, they've not yet let on. Hecate (Hecate_0755): Let us assume then that they've no such plan. However, I'm beginning to think the Father of All Monsters may yet figure into ours. Collect what samples that you can from him. Melinoe (Melinoe_0042): I shall, Headmistress. HecateAboutTyphonFight03 Hecate (Hecate_0756): Your victories against Typhon... have you there anything to show for it? Any sort of specimens or samples of his flesh? Melinoe (Melinoe_4045): I hope you like hideous eyes, Headmistress. Is there an incantation that you have in mind requiring such filth? Hecate (Hecate_0757): Perhaps. Hold onto all of that for now. But when the time is right, we shall turn all that monstrous power back against itself. And rid this world of that fiend for good. Melinoe (Melinoe_2519_A): ...Yes, Headmistress. HecateAboutTyphonFight03_B Hecate (Hecate_0756_B): Your victory 'gainst Typhon... have you there anything to show for it? Any sort of specimens or samples of his flesh? Melinoe (Melinoe_4045): I hope you like hideous eyes, Headmistress. Is there an incantation that you have in mind requiring such filth? Hecate (Hecate_0757): Perhaps. Hold onto all of that for now. But when the time is right, we shall turn all that monstrous power back against itself. And rid this world of that fiend for good. Melinoe (Melinoe_2519_A): ...Yes, Headmistress. HecateAboutTyphonW02 Hecate (Hecate_0774): Hermes indicated you were instrumental in releasing Typhon's grip on Mount Olympus recently. I trust that your embattled relatives contributed their share to that result? Melinoe (Melinoe_4355): I may be just a frontline diversion in stopping the monster's attacks, but it worked. Lord Zeus at least was able to remind Typhon about the power of his lightning bolt. The others had their hands full someplace else... Hecate (Hecate_0775): The gods must be grateful for such an effective {#Emph}frontline diversion{#Prev}, and Chronos must be grateful for the brief reprieve as well. But carry on as you see fit; this was all part of the Titan's plan, and shall likewise factor into ours. Melinoe (Melinoe_4356): My thoughts exactly. HecateAboutUltimateProgress01 Hecate (Hecate_0762): Each of the two great enemies we face, you have laid low, one after the other. Thus, we begin to take the upper hand... Melinoe (Melinoe_4050): I may be able to beat Chronos or Typhon in a fight, but at times I feel as though I've come no closer to stopping either of them. It's reassuring you think otherwise. Hecate (Hecate_0763): I more than think; you've demonstrated that you have the strength and knowledge to complete your task. As to whether you have the patience, that we shall have to see. Melinoe (Melinoe_4051): Patience, then... HecateAboutUltimateProgress02 Hecate (Hecate_0791): {#Emph}Dissolution of Time. Disintegration of Monstrosity. {#Prev}Connected incantations, negating that which has already come to pass, and violently. A terrible use of our craft... Melinoe (Melinoe_5777): It is. You always said such power ought never to be used, save when no other possibility avails itself... perhaps not even then. How did you discover such incantations? You practically know more of Chronos than he does himself. Hecate (Hecate_0792): When I learned of what Chronos had done to you and the rest... I refused to accept it. But I studied him nevertheless. Power always contains the secrets of its own undoing. Melinoe (Melinoe_4742): Even his and Typhon's... Hecate (Hecate_0793): Even his and Typhon's. HecateAboutUltimateProgress03 Melinoe (Melinoe_5016): Entropy is the last reagent we require for the Dissolution of Time, but... where am I supposed to find it? I've found no trace as yet... even from Typhon. Hecate (Hecate_0795): Where are you supposed to {#Emph}create {#Prev}it is the correct question to be asking. A powerful enough force must be put entirely to rest. Do you catch my meaning? Melinoe (Melinoe_5017): ...I believe so. Back to the surface, then. HecateAboutUltimateProgress03_A Melinoe (Melinoe_4733): My father's spear, Gigaros... it was there in the Prince's chambers for me to find. Zagreus must have gotten access to it in his time, as I have now. One final step, then? Hecate (Hecate_0788_B): Not quite. We have one opportunity to use it against Chronos, and shall take every precaution to ensure it shall have the intended result. Melinoe (Melinoe_5016): Entropy is the last reagent we require for the Dissolution of Time, but... where am I supposed to find it? I've found no trace as yet... even from Typhon. Hecate (Hecate_0795): Where are you supposed to {#Emph}create {#Prev}it is the correct question to be asking. A powerful enough force must be put entirely to rest. Do you catch my meaning? Melinoe (Melinoe_5017): ...I believe so. Back to the surface, then. Melinoe (Melinoe_5730): ...I believe so. First step, Disintegration of Monstrosity. HecateAboutUltimateProgress04 Melinoe (Melinoe_5731): Zagreus and I finally reached an understanding. He knows what needs to be done... but, I wanted to ask you something, Headmistress. With Chronos, in the past... there's truly no other course but to destroy him? Hecate (Hecate_0942): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, blood and darkness, he's got to you, hasn't he? Your brother at least, if not Chronos himself. Why are you asking me such things when you have come so close to the completion of your task, Melinoë? Melinoe (Melinoe_5732): Well, for one... we're on the verge of destroying Time itself. For all you've taught me, I've never fully understood the repercussions this would have. Hecate (Hecate_0943): We cannot know such repercussions ere they come to pass. Our charge, {#Emph}your {#Prev}charge, is to stop Chronos. Whatever it takes. I trust you shall require no additional reminders? Melinoe (Melinoe_5733): ...None. HecateAboutWeapons01 Hecate (Hecate_0229): The Nocturnal Arms are beginning to awaken. May we yet see an age when they can slumber once again. Have you a favored sister yet among the lot? Melinoe (Melinoe_0656): I am grateful that the weapons of Night have accepted me. I intend to treat them equally, Headmistress. Hecate (Hecate_0230): A commendable approach, but not a necessary one. The Nocturnal Arms share our purpose. They care little as to which of them you use, only that the task is completed. Melinoe (Melinoe_0657): We'll see it through. HecateAboutWellness01 Hecate (Hecate_0018): You look unwell. Returning is difficult, I know. Tell me if you need anything. Melinoe (Melinoe_0050): I think I'm all right, thank you, Headmistress. How do you manage it when you are out of sorts? Hecate (Hecate_0005): Oh I've a draught for every mood, and more. Sorrow, pain, anxiety, love-sickness, dispassion, rage, fear, nausea, cowardice... all sensations one can rectify, whether with mental fortitude or, failing that, a potent drink. Melinoe (Melinoe_0051): Perhaps some other time. HecateAboutWitchcraft01 Hecate (Hecate_0279): With all your incanting as of late, I must needs caution you to not overextend. I know you want for every chant and glamour on the tip of your tongue, but they require space, and time. Melinoe (Melinoe_1017): Using the cauldron doesn't drain me as once it did. Though I know I mustn't be reckless. Hecate (Hecate_0280): Indeed, lest your fair {#Emph}right {#Prev}hand come to match your left. Although perhaps that boy-shade Icarus would fancy you more if that were so. Been gone awhile, hasn't he? Melinoe (Melinoe_1018): He has... HecateAboutZeus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0946): Headmistress, Lord Zeus requested {#Emph}prompt reports{#Prev}, his words, from you about the situation in the Underworld. He seemed a little frustrated. Asked me to let you know. Hecate (Hecate_0262): And you're as dutiful as ever, aren't you? Exactly as Lord Zeus wants us to be. Think you he truly cherishes these Underworld reports? Melinoe (Melinoe_0947): I... hadn't considered that he might not. He seems the sort to want to know about all goings-on, especially ones dangerous to him. Hecate (Hecate_0263): Correct! He grows uneasy when the silence thickens. He'll get his prompt reports; though, just remember, he already {#Emph}has {#Prev}a messenger. Melinoe (Melinoe_0219): Hm. HecateBathHouse01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0665): Headmistress, I was wondering if you might accompany me to the springs for a short while? If you're not overly preoccupied? Hecate (Hecate_0240): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, well, I do believe I could use a bit of a soak. I've more knots in my back than that tree! Let's be quick about it, then. Hecate (Hecate_0250): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, but this is all right. Thank you for replenishing these waters! One of those details I had been meaning to get to, but... alas. Melinoe (Melinoe_0670): You're very welcome, Headmistress. I appreciate your saying so, as I half-thought you would admonish me for using magick and resources on this sort of thing. Hecate (Hecate_0251): Magick mostly {#Emph}is {#Prev}for self-improvement, Melinoë. Not a shortcut, mind you. And if an occasional scalding-hot soak in the springs isn't self-improvement, then my concept of it must be very flawed. Melinoe (Melinoe_0671): I wish I could bring myself to relax. I feel like I'm wasting precious time while I'm here. Hecate (Hecate_0252): Time spent being good to oneself is never wasted... unless you overthink it overmuch! We are {#Emph}here. {#Prev}Seize the moment, ere it passes. Hecate (Hecate_0257): A shame we cannot cook indefinitely in those springs, but... a brief dip is better than none at all. HecateBathHouse02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0667): I was thinking of putting these purifying salts to use, Headmistress. Call it a cleansing ritual. Would you accompany me? Hecate (Hecate_0241): A visit to the springs ought rid us of unwanted thoughts for a while. Let us be cleansed together, then. Hecate (Hecate_0244): {#Emph}Mm. {#Prev}We're like two nettles boiling in a cauldron, aren't we? Melinoe (Melinoe_0673): I remember bathing in this spring when I was very small. You would ask me never to splash your hair, and I would do it anyway. You were so tolerant of me. Hecate (Hecate_0253): Well, now at least you know the reason that your training was so rigorous! There came a point when even my vast tolerance for all your splashing finally wore thin. Melinoe (Melinoe_0674): Wait... you trained me to the height of my ability as a witch because I got your hair wet? Hecate (Hecate_0254): {#Emph}Mm{#Prev}, was either that, or transform you into a newt, or something! Come off it, Melinoë. You are entirely too serious, sometimes. Melinoe (Melinoe_3471): {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}A lesson I've been unable to take to heart, Headmistress. I suppose it's been a while since we talked like this. Hecate (Hecate_0255): Yes, well, that's growing up for you. And present circumstances haven't helped, either. This blasted hot-spring got all covered up with moss and had been stagnant, I don't know how long. Being here again... it takes me back. Melinoe (Melinoe_0676): Do you think we'll be able to keep the moss from reclaiming this place again? Hecate (Hecate_0256): I'll watch the moss, you watch the splashing. Deal? Hecate (Hecate_0258): {#Emph}Whew! {#Prev}Much better. Sometimes I think that hot-spring could raise the dead. HecateBathHouseDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0668): I know it's a difficult time, Headmistress, but just in case, would you be interested in joining me for a brief while at the hot springs? Hecate (Hecate_0239): As much as I would enjoy basking in the springs, I've incantations to complete, wards to reinforce.... No, I cannot. Not now. HecateBathHouseEpilogue01 Hecate (Hecate_0798): You had an audience with the Three Fates! Your incantation from so many nights ago must have taken effect. Hermes indicated they're in good spirits, but shall be continuing their leave. Well done drawing them out nevertheless. Melinoe (Melinoe_4884): Thank you, Headmistress. I get the impression that they sought {#Emph}me {#Prev}more so than the other way around, but at least we know they're safe. They... also mentioned {#Emph}you. Hecate (Hecate_0799): They did, did they...? In what capacity? Melinoe (Melinoe_4885): They said you've... well... is there someplace more private where we can discuss this, do you think? Hecate (Hecate_0800): {#Emph} {#Prev}Let's to the springs. You've earned the rest, and we can sit and talk about what's on your mind... and theirs. Hecate (Hecate_0802): So, what do the three weaving-sisters know of me, then, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}You were about to say... Melinoe (Melinoe_4886): They told me... I believe the phrase they used was, you had {#Emph}pulled some strings. {#Prev}They didn't elaborate, but suggested I ask you about it. Hecate (Hecate_0803): ...{#Emph}Pulled strings. {#Prev}I know full well what they meant. But to this point I was uncertain whether {#Emph}they {#Prev}did. Let me twist your question back; what do {#Emph}you {#Prev}suppose they implied? Melinoe (Melinoe_4887): I got the sense they felt that you had altered their designs somehow. Pulling strings... changing their weavings. And not in a small way either, but... I merely guess. Hecate (Hecate_0804): You don't {#Emph}merely {#Prev}anything, Melinoë. Well, if those three already know my past, you ought to know it, too. And 'tis easier to explain, I suppose, if you look upon me as I am. Melinoe (Melinoe_4888): Headmistress, what... I... you're... you're beautiful... but what is this, I — I don't understand... some trick you're playing or some glamour, or...? Hecate (Hecate_0805): No. The trick is when the veil is {#Emph}on. {#Prev}Look upon me, and do not avert your eyes. I know those eyes better than you. Melinoe (Melinoe_4889): I'm... you're... how is this possible...? Who {#Emph}are {#Prev}you? Hecate (Hecate_0806): When I was a mere babe, I washed up on the bank of the Cocytus with naught but moonlight to guide me. Selene looked out for me; informed me that the Titan Chronos took my family, and that I alone escaped. Thus I trained. Melinoe (Melinoe_4890): You trained... for the task. {#Emph}Death to Chronos. {#Prev}You attempted all of that... before {#Emph}I {#Prev}did? Hecate (Hecate_0807): {#Emph}Before {#Prev}is not entirely correct. I was a capable student, but very raw; vengeance was my headmistress. And one night, I found the wretch. Spewed every curse that I knew... and descended into the abyss of his subconscious. Melinoe (Melinoe_4891): But, I had {#Emph}you {#Prev}to teach me to descend to the abyss of the subconscious... you mean to say {#Emph}you {#Prev}figured it out entirely on your own? That's impossible! Hecate (Hecate_0808): Speaking from experience, I beg to differ. But at any rate, something did go awry. Time and nightmare fused, and I discovered I was someplace else. I sought the end of Time... but had arrived somewhere closer to the beginning. Melinoe (Melinoe_4892): And then, you lived... for aeons... waiting, for the weavings of the Fates and me? For a second chance. Headmistress, I... gods... Hecate (Hecate_0809): I dared not tamper with the Fates' designs more than was strictly needed. In this form, I ingratiated myself to your father and mother; became handmaiden to the Queen, in fact. Thus when Chronos inevitably struck... they gave their newborn daughter not to the River Styx, but to me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4893): Then... you did everything in your power to prepare me, so that I might succeed where you failed... Hecate (Hecate_0810): Correct. 'Tis as I always told you, I am not your mother, Melinoë. Neither did I have one myself. However, I had reason to be confident in your abilities.... So, there you are! How you must hate me for all this... Melinoe (Melinoe_4894): No... how can you even say that still, Headmistress? I love you... and you {#Emph}are {#Prev}my mother, whether you can admit it or not. And even if... we're far too much alike. Hecate (Hecate_0811): ...I love you, too, of course, Melinoë, with all my heart and soul. Far more than I could ever love myself. And I am so sorry... for all that you had to endure. For the family you never had. Hecate (Hecate_0812): ...Nary a soul must know of this, I trust you understand? The Three Fates, fine; and we, and no one else. Now then... shall we pretend that none of this transpired? Melinoe (Melinoe_4896): I'll be discreet of course... but won't pretend. HecateBattleIntro.AIData.PreAttackVoiceLines Hecate (Hecate_0489): {#Emph}Crossed Flames{#Prev}, awaken! Hecate (Hecate_0490): {#Emph}Crossed Flames{#Prev}, awaken...! Hecate (Hecate_0491): {#Emph}Crossed Flames! Hecate (Hecate_0492): The all-consuming flame! Hecate (HecateField_0201): {#Emph}Crossed Flames! Hecate (HecateField_0202): Now, the {#Emph}Crossed Flames...! Hecate (HecateField_0203): {#Emph}Crossed Flames burn! Hecate (HecateField_0204): {#Emph}Crossed Flames, burn...! HecateBossAboutAltFight01 Hecate (HecateField_0280): A frightful night... cold, and dark, and {#Emph}everything. {#Prev}You've spoken certain vows, and as the Moon is our witness, I too have spoken mine. Now we may clash in earnest finally. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3394): In earnest... so you {#Emph}have {#Prev}been holding back against me. You said you'd push me to my limits and beyond. Hecate (HecateField_0281): Our limits grow along with us. I know mine well enough by now; do you know yours? I am eager to find out for myself! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3395): Her Dark Side... HecateBossAboutAltFight02 Hecate (HecateField_0283): You look upon the Oath of the Unseen night after night, but: Do you understand as yet the lesson it imparts? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3397): Fear manifests at night. Either we give in to that fear, or we become its cause. Hecate (HecateField_0284): {#Emph}Either give in to fear or become its cause. {#Prev}Your words, not mine, though I concur with them. Let us become that fear for one another once again. HecateBossAboutAltFight03 Hecate (HecateField_0320): Whether 'tis wise to speak the Vow of Rivals is for you to decide, but... I can see the wisdom in rescinding {#Emph}that {#Prev}one. I'd not wish to face me at my best, either. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4201): I may not be finished with that Vow just yet, Headmistress. I wonder what else you're holding back, if you possess such power you suppress by will of Night alone. Hecate (HecateField_0321): Do wonder, by all means. And should you require more of an advanced test of your aptitude, I shall be waiting. HecateBossAboutAnger01 Hecate (HecateField_0099): You're angry; let it out. Anger's not to be suppressed, nor misdirected. To be {#Emph}angry{#Prev}... is to be {#Emph}alive. HecateBossAboutArachne01 Hecate (HecateField_0018): You are preoccupied with that Arachne's curse! I know about it, yes. The remedy is no straightforward feat. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2877): Nor is my task, yet here we are, night after night. If there's a way to aid my friend, I wish to know of it. Hecate (HecateField_0019): Athena is the one to persuade; so long as she wishes for the curse to remain, it shall. That, and you must discover who created it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2878): Sounds straightforward enough! HecateBossAboutArachne02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2879): I appreciate your candor with Arachne, Headmistress. You must have known full well that she would not forgive you. Hecate (HecateField_0020): Far easier to beg forgiveness than to dole it out. As you grow longer in years, you, too, shall have relationships that cannot be repaired. HecateBossAboutArachneOutfit01 Hecate (HecateField_0166): You wear one of those silken dresses, always with a vivid hue. I know whose handiwork they are. This one quite suits you, though it is unlikely to withstand the heat... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2029): Just have to avoid it! HecateBossAboutArcana01 Hecate (Hecate_0193): Your aura is different. Stronger. You have been studying the Arcana. Meditating at your Altar to prepare for your attempts. Melinoe (Melinoe_0581): Each Card reveals to me a different strength. If I steady myself and concentrate, then it's as though I become one with whomever they depict. If only I could focus on them all. Hecate (Hecate_0194): To focus, by its nature, is to choose. Come, demonstrate to me this newfound understanding of yours... HecateBossAboutArcana02 Hecate (Hecate_0442): The Altar in our training grounds is for your benefit, yet you would face me whilst ignoring the Arcana! An oversight, or bit of cheekiness? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0003): Merely a bit of deception with which to take you off your guard, Headmistress. Hecate (Hecate_0443): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}I think not. I'm fully on my guard, and suggest {#Emph}you {#Prev}be on yours. HecateBossAboutArtemis01 Hecate (Hecate_0427): How fares the goddess of the hunt? By now these woods must feel a second home to her. Melinoe (Melinoe_1601): Sister Artemis appears quite well, so much as possible of late. If anything, she seems in better spirits than before. Hecate (Hecate_0428): Good. She, Selene, you, and I have all prepared for this contingency, and now 'tis time we shine... particularly you and I, right now. HecateBossAboutAthena01 Hecate (HecateField_0287): Athena deigned to grace these woods of ours, has she? Perhaps a mere projection of her power now that you and she have built up more of a working relationship. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3476): Her Gorgon Amulet lets her locate me almost anywhere, though she can never stay for very long. I hate to inconvenience her. Hecate (HecateField_0288): She would not bother if she deemed you unworthy. Whilst her power may be limited beyond Olympus, I shall not underestimate it here. HecateBossAboutAxe01 Hecate (HecateField_0108): Now that's a sight, you bearing down on me with that gigantic Moonstone Axe! I wasn't certain you'd prefer that one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0504): Zorephet is weightier than the other Arms. But having an axe such as this in woods such as these has been convenient, overall. Hecate (HecateField_0109): Well, much as I hate to {#Emph}inconvenience {#Prev}you, I must. Although, that monstrous thing suggests this oughtn't take too long... HecateBossAboutCatFamiliar01 Hecate (HecateField_0338): That little cat there by your side, I noticed her within our Crossroads recently. Your power must be great indeed, to have persuaded her to follow you... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2027): Toula did take some convincing, Headmistress. But she seems to appreciate my company! At least, most of the time. Hecate (HecateField_0165): Moody creatures, cats; born huntresses but uncontrollable. I almost fear to see just what this little one can do! With hounds, at least I know exactly where I stand. HecateBossAboutCharonAspect01 Hecate (HecateField_0175): 'Tis not the typical slim figure of the Moonstone Axe. {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}The Aspect of Charon! He has since taken up the simple oar. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3479): So {#Emph}this {#Prev}is why Lord Charon has such definition in his arms. Do you suppose he used to row his boat with Zorephet? Hecate (HecateField_0176): Perhaps he did, or hewed off a few heads. If Nyx and the Three Fates entrusted the protection of the Underworld to a certain few, they could have chosen worse. HecateBossAboutChronos01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0004): Headmistress, I'm concerned Chronos may find us. I first encountered him not far beyond these woods... Hecate (HecateField_0003): There are so many passageways to Erebus, 'tis exceedingly unlikely he shall find the way. {#Emph}You {#Prev}face a greater risk than {#Emph}that {#Prev}right now... HecateBossAboutChronos02 Hecate (Hecate_0078): Our enemy's strength even exceeds my own. We're both Titans, yes, Chronos and I, but he is my elder... as I am yours. What say you? Melinoe (Melinoe_0161): His age doesn't mean anything to me. The old are seldom wise, and often weak. And, he did not study under {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Headmistress. Only I have. Hecate (Hecate_0079): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}Just so. He is an arrogant old fool. The impression of wisdom comes with age more than the real thing. Remember that. HecateBossAboutChronos03 Melinoe (Melinoe_2136): I'll get him, Headmistress. I swear it. All that you've taught, I'll bring to bear. And no matter the obstacles that stand in the way, Chronos shall fall by {#Emph}my {#Prev}hand. Hecate (HecateField_0100): I require no convincing, Melinoë, although perhaps you do. However much I've taught, what's important is you're a capable student. Melinoe (Melinoe_2137): I have to be more than that. HecateBossAboutChronosBossW00 Hecate (HecateField_0293): You bested our enemy, and now are eager to reach him again. As much as I am curious to know more, you must have your reasons for withholding the details. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3481): I can hardly believe what happened, much less explain it. But, it went largely the way you expected, Headmistress. I apologize for not informing you. Hecate (HecateField_0294): Never apologize when you are not at fault. Speak no more of this than necessary, not to me or anyone. And press on. HecateBossAboutChronosBossW01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1513): I've vanquished Chronos... everything you've trained me to do. Yet still you stand in my way. Still more to learn even now. Hecate (HecateField_0126): Now and always. That tinge of frustration you expressed? I would see you rid yourself of it, in your attempts to rid yourself of {#Emph}me. HecateBossAboutChronosBossW02 Hecate (HecateField_0127): Our enemy surely is beginning to wonder how you are able to thwart him. Do leave him in the dark. The less he knows of us, the better. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1514): Chronos seems to think my family bond with him is why I'm able to resist. He hasn't made the connection that {#Emph}you're {#Prev}the one who's prepared me. Hecate (HecateField_0128): {#Emph}You {#Prev}have prepared {#Emph}yourself. {#Prev}'Tis good that you are drawing his attention and his wrath, whilst I remain unseen. We slowly undermine his strength... and through our efforts, buy your mountain relatives more time. HecateBossAboutCirceAspect01 Hecate (HecateField_0104): Your staff takes on an unexpected form. Last I saw it thus was on a distant isle in the seas above. Where the enchantress Circe plied her trade. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0502): This is the form Descura took with her. I feel a greater sense of calm and focus now, as though her own experience fused with mine. Hecate (HecateField_0105): Circe knew Descura's next bearer would need it for a task of some import. Thus she lent some of her strength to complement your own. HecateBossAboutConfidence01 Hecate (HecateField_0098): If you lack confidence, then how are you to manifest your will? Be certain of your heart's desire. HecateBossAboutDagger01 Hecate (Hecate_0440): A flash of silver... Lim and Oros. So, the Sister Blades availed themselves to you. The other Nocturnal Arms shall follow their lead, I expect. Melinoe (Melinoe_1801): Nyx entrusted them to you to safeguard the realm as a last resort. But, this cannot possibly be how they were meant to be used... Hecate (Hecate_0441): And whyever not? To safeguard the realm, you shall have to clear a wide variety of obstacles standing in your way. {#Emph}I {#Prev}am but one. HecateBossAboutDemeter01 Hecate (HecateField_0007): A chill swept through the air as you approached. Unseasonably cold; though perhaps it is as Demeter desires. She aids you, does she not? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0007): She does. She knew me for her granddaughter at once. Have you had opportunity to speak with her, about me and all that's transpired? Hecate (HecateField_0008): No; I've been a bit preoccupied. At least here, Demeter shall be able to cool her wrath against me for keeping you a secret for so long... HecateBossAboutDemeter02 Hecate (HecateField_0009): I sense that Demeter is with you once again. I suspected she would either be among the first to lend support, or to refuse. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0008): Could you not have told her about me, Headmistress? To have lost her daughter and grandchildren... I cannot imagine her sorrow. Hecate (HecateField_0010): 'Twas a painful choice to leave her in the dark. She would have gone to war immediately; but our task requires patience, as you know. HecateBossAboutEndingPath00 Hecate (HecateField_0418): Trust in your training, ere you reach your destination at the House. That and your connection to Chronos affords you some degree of control over his abilities... an unwitting inheritance he gave to you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5185): My knowledge of dream, his command over Time... a potent combination, but one I know I must approach with a great deal of caution and respect. Hecate (HecateField_0419): Approaching matters with caution and respect shall rarely lead you astray. I shall await word of whatever it is you discover... and whether our plans may come to pass. HecateBossAboutEndingPath01 Hecate (HecateField_0297): {#Emph}To the abyss of the subconscious I descend... {#Prev}remember well those words and those that follow, lest the thrill of battle cloud your memory. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3483): {#Emph}To the abyss of the subconscious I descend. Night and Darkness, guide me to my blood beyond the grasp of Time. Hecate (HecateField_0298): A potent prayer, although here it shall avail you not. Perhaps you soon shall have the opportunity to make the invocations in the proper place and time. HecateBossAboutEndingPath02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5098): I've told my brother of what Chronos has done... but he expressed reluctance about having to destroy a member of our family. He even... suggested Father may be partly to blame. Hecate (HecateField_0421): A complication. Your brother never was keen on taking direction, especially from your father. And now he's filling your own head with doubt. We have no recourse here, Melinoë. Persuade him, or all shall be for naught. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5099): He also asked me what exactly happened between Chronos and my father, and... I realized I didn't know. Does anyone? This war he's waged... it isn't merely over who should rule. Hecate (HecateField_0422): Their precise history is of no bearing to our present state. In war, one would be wise to not give undue credit to one's enemies. If you spend all your time so deep in thought, then you shall hesitate to act... and your moment shall pass! HecateBossAboutEndingPath03 Hecate (HecateField_0424): Tell me, ere we clash again: Has your brother come to understand yet the necessity of his participation in your task? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5100): It's been a bit of a struggle. He's found a suitable weapon in our father's spear... but he hasn't granted me its essence yet. Hecate (HecateField_0425): Then tell him what he needs to hear, if that is what it takes to spur him on. I do not like having to count on him any more than you, but... his cooperation is an absolute necessity. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5101): I need more than his cooperation... I need his trust. I'm not going to deceive him, if that's what you suggest. Hecate (HecateField_0426): I suggest {#Emph}nothing. {#Prev}The task is yours, as are the methods you employ to achieve it. But, {#Emph}achieve it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5102): I intend to! HecateBossAboutEndingPath04 Melinoe (Melinoe_5731): Zagreus and I finally reached an understanding. He knows what needs to be done... but, I wanted to ask you something, Headmistress. With Chronos, in the past... there's truly no other course but to destroy him? Hecate (Hecate_0942): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, blood and darkness, he's got to you, hasn't he? Your brother at least, if not Chronos himself. Why are you asking me such things when you have come so close to the completion of your task, Melinoë? Melinoe (Melinoe_5732): Well, for one... we're on the verge of destroying Time itself. For all you've taught me, I've never fully understood the repercussions this would have. Hecate (Hecate_0943): We cannot know such repercussions ere they come to pass. Our charge, {#Emph}your {#Prev}charge, is to stop Chronos. Whatever it takes. I trust you shall require no additional reminders? Melinoe (Melinoe_5733): ...None. HecateBossAboutEosAspect01 Hecate (HecateField_0291): That form of Ygnium is rather fetching! You could always decorate the Crossroads with those lights should they not prove sufficiently dependable for your task. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3480): The Aspect of Eos is not as delicate as it appears. Though I'll admit I half-expected that this Aspect of the Flames would be your own. Hecate (HecateField_0292): Nonsense. If I myself wielded those very torches, {#Emph}you {#Prev}would not be bearing them. Now come remind me what the rosy flickering of Dawn can do. HecateBossAboutErebus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1035): What can we do for the wretched souls wandering lost in Erebus, Headmistress? An afterlife of lashing out in impotent rage... Hecate (Hecate_0301): We can achieve our task. The souls of Erebus ought have been placed somewhere within your father's realm, but all that ceased once Chronos took the throne. Go, wrest it back from him. HecateBossAboutErebus02 Melinoe (Melinoe_1599): This grove is already regrown since last we clashed. For all the death in Erebus, life flourishes as well. Hecate (Hecate_0432): Death and life; the two are intricately intertwined. These woods shall easily survive our clashes here. What about {#Emph}you? HecateBossAboutErisKeepsake01 Hecate (HecateField_0171): {#Emph}Eugh...! {#Prev}Whatever foul Keepsake you decided to bring along for good fortune this eve, 'tis a horrid thing. Which sort of comrade would reward you thus? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2028): It... was a gift from Eris, Headmistress. I know the effect isn't strictly to my benefit, or anyone's... but I just thought... Hecate (HecateField_0172): ...That Eris was doing you a favor? Or has {#Emph}any {#Prev}sense of purpose other than to sow disorder where she can? You two make a strange match, Melinoë. So shall {#Emph}this {#Prev}be. HecateBossAboutExpectations01 Hecate (Hecate_0447): Much is expected of you. So you must learn to bear that burden with grace. HecateBossAboutFailure01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2138): You must wear that veil so as not to betray your disappointment, Headmistress. All these failures yet you still do not admonish me? Hecate (HecateField_0101): Oh silence, Melinoë. For your setbacks I've boundless patience, but for your petulance, I've none. You ought find a better catalyst for such inner turmoils, as I lack sympathy for them! Melinoe (Melinoe_2139): That's fine...! HecateBossAboutFamiliarSystem01 Hecate (HecateField_0156): There's not much glory in confronting adversaries one to one. I myself invoke Shades of the dead to alter the odds. Some may well favor {#Emph}you{#Prev}, instead. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1998): Perhaps if I brought with me a legion of Animal Familiars next time, Headmistress? Not that any beast would bare its fangs at {#Emph}you. Hecate (HecateField_0157): You jest, yet a Familiar may be of considerable benefit given all that you have to do. A possibility to think upon, once you are rid of me... HecateBossAboutFates01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3477): Lately I dreamt of Father once again, when Chronos came for him, and you took me to safety. Except this time, I saw more than before... Hecate (HecateField_0289): Twas no mere dream, of course. What more did you learn whilst you lingered thus? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3478): Chronos demanded Father tell him how to locate the Three Fates. Chronos hates them, or feels threatened by them. He was searching for them all this time... and must have found them finally. Hecate (HecateField_0290): {#Emph}Blast... {#Prev}Hermes suspected that this was the case, but has been unable to prove it beyond doubt. For now, let us proceed as though the Fates themselves oppose us; as though we've nobody to count on save ourselves. HecateBossAboutFlattery01 Hecate (Hecate_0308): Decided to take a break from all your recent outings to the surface, have you now? Melinoe (Melinoe_1176): There's much to be done, both above and below. You always say the greatest teacher is {#Emph}out there{#Prev}. But I always seem to find her here. Hecate (Hecate_0309): I taught you {#Emph}nothing {#Prev}of such flattery. One of Odysseus' tricks, perhaps...! Let's see what others you have learned. HecateBossAboutFrogFamiliar01 Hecate (HecateField_0162): You brought some company along! An unassuming choice. Your amphibious friend does not appear to have capacity to sway the outcome here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2026): I never trust appearances entirely, Headmistress, and know neither do you. This must be an exciting night for Frinos. Hecate (HecateField_0163): We are not here to entertain your woodland friends, Melinoë. Pray they don't get underfoot. HecateBossAboutHecateKeepsake01 Hecate (Hecate_0304): You bear the Wheel trinket I bestowed. I once used it to hone my craft. May it now help you do the same. Melinoe (Melinoe_1037): This wheel, a labyrinth with no beginning and no end... pathways that circle back upon themselves. Like Erebus... Hecate (Hecate_0305): Like life itself! Three stages, intertwined. Let us go through the stages now. HecateBossAboutHecateKeepsake02 Hecate (HecateField_0158): Again you bear the Wheel I gave to you; rather, that I {#Emph}held {#Prev}for you ere you were ready, for it was always yours. A means of focusing your magickal acuity, if nothing else. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1997): It's much more. A never-ending labyrinth with three distinct sides... a reminder of our home, and the limits of our power. Hecate (HecateField_0159): The Crossroads may serve as something of a home to you, but most certainly it is {#Emph}not your home. {#Prev}It is that labyrinth in which you are trapped. {#Emph}Break free! HecateBossAboutHermes01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1172): I heard from Hermes, Headmistress. He gave me the impression that Olympus needs my aid. What of my task? Hecate (Hecate_0429): Your task remains, as does the adversary whom you face. We shall discuss the matter with Hermes elsewhere. We have other matters first. HecateBossAboutHermes02 Hecate (Hecate_0430): Hermes urged me to address a certain matter with you here. However, my view is you are unprepared for the surface, as of yet. Melinoe (Melinoe_1175): Meaning you won't lift the wards barring the path to the surface. What if I remove them myself? I've seen how you do it. Hecate (Hecate_0431): Then you'll be more prepared than you are now. Till then, remember your objective lies below. Past {#Emph}me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4840): {#Emph}Permeation of Witching-Wards... HecateBossAboutHermes03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0009): Perhaps some evening I shall reach this point so quickly that I'll slip by before you arrive, Headmistress. Hecate (HecateField_0011): I've no intent to permit any such possibility, not even if you've the swiftness of Hermes speeding you on. Though, why don't we get to it, then. HecateBossAboutHiddenAspects01 Hecate (HecateField_0339): Each hidden Aspect of the Arms of Night is in your grasp, at least the ones that had been set aside for you. What have you surmised about their bearers? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4300): That they're all gods or goddesses of death or destruction. Some past, some future, others perhaps contemporaries but of realms other than our own. But, where...? Hecate (HecateField_0340): Our realm is hidden; theirs may be as well. Besides, for as much of the world as you've seen, 'tis but a narrow swath. You have eternity to meet these other gods, or not. HecateBossAboutHoundFamiliar01 Hecate (HecateField_0118): Look at that prim posture! We're in the presence of majestic Hecuba herself...! How fares my favored hound? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0509): She's very well, and a most-capable companion to have at my side. Though I hate to have to strain her loyalties like this. Hecate (HecateField_0119): Come, you want to see what she shall do! Her loyalty is absolute. I permitted her to serve you as she serves me! Let's all now bare our fangs. HecateBossAboutLearning01 Hecate (Hecate_0302): You cannot beat me with anxiety, you know. Still your senses, and prepare yourself. Know you the purpose of these bouts of ours? Melinoe (Melinoe_1036): To complete my training. Each clash between us is an opportunity to learn and grow strong. Hecate (Hecate_0303): You're partially correct. For our training shall never be complete. Yet, onward we must strive. HecateBossAboutLob01 Hecate (HecateField_0110): Using the Argent Skull of Revaal, now, are we? You're becoming a most-capable necromancer, to have earned its trust. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0505): Was this once a living creature's skull, Headmistress? Only to be infused with silver and enchanted as an instrument of Night... Hecate (HecateField_0111): {#Emph}That {#Prev}is rather a personal question, considering all evidence at hand! Perhaps Revaal herself shall reveal to you the answer in due course. HecateBossAboutMedeaKeepsake01 Hecate (HecateField_0102): The air hangs heavily about you here tonight. {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}'Tis from the scrap of something that Medea gave to you. A gift more than a curse, I trust? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0501): Her Keepsake, yes. A bit of fleece... sheep roam about Ephyra, but none with coats as black and brilliant as this. It's something special, I can tell. Hecate (HecateField_0103): Indeed it is, as fleeces go, at least. Medea is not quick to accept others into her circle; bit of a black sheep herself. But, aren't we all? HecateBossAboutMorosAspect01 Hecate (HecateField_0173): Now in whose guise is Ygnium this time? If you are comfortable answering. 'Tis not {#Emph}your {#Prev}Aspect of the Umbral Flames, that much is clear. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2129): This Aspect is of Moros, Headmistress. But he has not yet used the Flames. Perhaps in knowing first... we become instrumental in bringing him into our fold. Hecate (HecateField_0174): 'Tis how the Fates do like to operate. As soon as we know what the future holds, we may try to resist... only to stumble into bringing it about. HecateBossAboutMorosKeepsake01 Hecate (HecateField_0017): Do I detect an artifact from Moros? Something to bring Doom swiftly to your foes by forestalling your own. Seems rather handy, that. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0013): I'm certain Lord Moros means you no offense. But his Keepsake is of benefit to me, and I'm to take every advantage that I can. Hecate (HecateField_0025): Correct. 'Tis no wonder Doom has come to stay with us for now. His presence lingers over every action that we take... HecateBossAboutNemesis01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0010): Does anyone besides me ever happen on you in this glade? Perhaps some evening Artemis or someone may appear instead. Hecate (HecateField_0012): This clearing, rest assured, is ours alone; these woods are vast enough. Yet I see everyone who passes through. No matter how clandestine they may think they are... HecateBossAboutNemesisKeepsake01 Hecate (HecateField_0013): What is that foul artifact you bear? {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}An Eye of Nemesis. Warding against those harboring ill will. The sheer irony of it, coming from her. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0011): I mean nothing untoward, Headmistress. The Eye is indiscriminate in its effect, and makes me match more strongly with my strongest foes. Hecate (HecateField_0170): 'Tis a wonder this Eye does not cause the two of us to combust on the spot! Then take your vengeance, if you can! HecateBossAboutOdysseusKeepsake01 Hecate (HecateField_0015): Blood and darkness, I can sense you've those accursed Knuckle Bones on you. I shall have to thank Odysseus for providing such a gift... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0012): My Keepsake? I'm surprised these have any effect on you, Headmistress. I thought for certain you enchanted them yourself. Hecate (HecateField_0016): Odysseus has known his share of witches besides us. Well, I'm braced for impact; the Knuckle Bones strike first, and then, we fight. HecateBossAboutOlympians01 Hecate (Hecate_0306): Olympus has emboldened you, and made you strong. Yet, 'tis a fleeting strength; one false step, and I could wipe it all away. Melinoe (Melinoe_1038): I'll take a fleeting strength over no strength at all. We take every advantage that avails itself. Hecate (Hecate_0307): Just so. Then come and show me how you would make use of such {#Emph}advantages. HecateBossAboutPackagedBounties01 Hecate (HecateField_0116): You've a particular objective to achieve here, haven't you? Seen what must be done within the facets of the {#Emph}Pitch-Black Stone. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1928): A trial, on top of a trial. This is one of the infinite possibilities that Chaos anticipated. I chose this path, but... it was already there for me to find. Hecate (HecateField_0117): 'Tis very much disquieting to know the choices that we make might all be preordained to some extent. Nevertheless, Night's will is to be done. HecateBossAboutPackagedBounties01_B Hecate (Hecate_0624): That Pitch-Black Stone in our training grounds... I've sensed it ever since your incantation. The subtle influence of Chaos on this realm. Melinoe (Melinoe_2796): Our goals are intertwined. When I gaze upon the Stone, I begin to see different paths and possibilities in every facet. Some leading closer to our victory. Hecate (HecateField_0117): 'Tis very much disquieting to know the choices that we make might all be preordained to some extent. Nevertheless, Night's will is to be done. HecateBossAboutPackagedBounties02 Hecate (HecateField_0168): I sense the changes in the night; in {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Your strength has waned significantly. Chaos wishes to see the outcome of this particular arrangement, then? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2030): Another trial, Headmistress. My magick may be weakened, but you taught me never to depend on it entirely. Hecate (HecateField_0169): And whether you took such lessons to heart, we shall imminently see. As Selene be our witness above, so shall Chaos below. HecateBossAboutPolecatFamiliar01 Hecate (HecateField_0114): Why, if it isn't little Gale scurrying about your feet! {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, how the tables have turned. Her vengeance finally is nigh! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0507): You jest, Headmistress, but I put poor Gale in a terrible position here, to have to square against you. Can't she refuse to be a part of this? Hecate (HecateField_0115): She is to do your bidding when required, and besides, I do think she is going to enjoy this. I let you go all-out; same goes for {#Emph}her. HecateBossAboutRage01 Hecate (HecateField_0341): Are you better prepared this time? Look at yourself, you are {#Emph}too calm. {#Prev}Suppressing your anger for the illusion of control. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4301): You've taught me patience, Headmistress. But now you ask me to lash out at you in rage. Which shall it be? Hecate (HecateField_0342): Give me both: rage, which you can {#Emph}control. {#Prev}Leave the serenity to our Sister the Moon, and {#Emph}fight me properly! HecateBossAboutRavenFamiliar01 Hecate (HecateField_0269): You have a raven friend with you! Birds seldom take to Erebus, if they can even make their way! A spy, I thought at first, but no. Perhaps Selene sent him down to you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3155): This is Raki, whom I found in a secluded glade nearby all on his own. I know better than to trust inherently, though felt a strong connection to this one. Hecate (HecateField_0270): I likewise sense no ill intent from him. Our Familiars may take on a variety of forms, no different from our friends or enemies. Let's see how well this one keeps up! HecateBossAboutRepetition01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3156): Headmistress, why is it that we have to keep this up? I've passed your test repeatedly; we're each needed elsewhere. Hecate (HecateField_0272): You may be strong but not yet strong enough! And evidently quite impatient, too. Shall you attempt to talk Chronos out of a fight as well? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3157): Of course not, but... I could be halfway to the Mourning Fields by now, if not for this. Hecate (HecateField_0273): Alas that things don't always go our way. Go on now, vent the anger that you feel! We each have much of it to spare. HecateBossAboutRespect01 Hecate (Hecate_0074): Set your respect for me aside whilst here. You must give no such quarter to our enemies. Melinoe (Melinoe_0040): But you are not my enemy, Headmistress. How am I to treat you as one? Hecate (Hecate_0075): {#Emph}How? {#Prev}Allow me to give you a demonstration, then. HecateBossAboutSayingLittle01 Hecate (HecateField_0343): Shall we continue with these clashes for eternity? 'Twould seem there are sufficient possibilities of Chronos to keep you occupied that long. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4302): I'm in no hurry, Hecate. Besides, if I once dreaded having to confront you here, I came to enjoy it at some point. Hecate (HecateField_0344): I would prefer more frequent victories but I came to enjoy it in kind. Let us continue, then... for however long it takes. HecateBossAboutSelene01 Hecate (Hecate_0076): Sister Selene aided you in getting here to me. But have you learned to harness her power? Melinoe (Melinoe_0160): On that account, I would prefer to demonstrate than speak. With your permission, of course, Headmistress. Hecate (Hecate_0077): Permission granted. Now, show me what the Moon can do once in your grasp. HecateBossAboutShrine01 Hecate (HecateField_0120): You spoke the Oath of the Unseen, and would enact Night's Testament this eve. I sensed the growing Fear. How much of it is yours? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1510): A healthy fear, no more, no less, Headmistress. I'm honored that you granted me the right to take the Oath. Assuming it was your doing, rather than Commander Schelemeus. Hecate (HecateField_0121): Best not to speculate too much. 'Twas your own doing most of all. Then, face me on this terror-stricken eve! You have made certain vows, and shall experience the consequence. HecateBossAboutShrine02 Hecate (HecateField_0122): Decided to forgo the Oath for now? A wise move, like as not. Or, evidence of some restraint and circumspection on your part, at least. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1511): My path is treacherous enough as it is; why make such Vows as would reduce my chances of success? Hecate (HecateField_0123): 'Tis through adversity that we grow strong! But to your point, you face adversity enough. The Oath is there to guarantee you always shall. HecateBossAboutShrine03 Hecate (HecateField_0124): The Fear in the air... 'tis almost palpable tonight. You have made many Vows this eve. Feeling so very bold, or merely curious to see what shall transpire? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1512): A little of each, Headmistress? Perhaps I made a terrible mistake. It's fortunate the Vows contained within the Oath can be undone... unlike most vows. Hecate (HecateField_0125): {#Emph}All {#Prev}vows can be undone. But yes, the Oath is oddly forgiving in this way; its Vows, never strictly binding. Perhaps so that each evening may be interestingly different from the last. HecateBossAboutShrine04 Hecate (HecateField_0299): The Testament of Night requires my defeat specifically, is that not so? The Titan Lord can wait; the key to making the Nocturnal Arms more powerful stands right in front of you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3484): You know much more about the Oath of the Unseen than I, Headmistress. So why don't you tell me what it desires. Hecate (HecateField_0300): Oh, I just did! Perhaps when you come to be my age, you too shall find a new connection to the Oath. For now, come earn the Nightmare that you seek. HecateBossAboutShrineUpgrade01 Hecate (HecateField_0276): The greatest teacher is out there, and evidently taught you quite a bit. You're able to surpass me here consistently. But has this proved to be enough...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3473): There's always more to be learned, Headmistress; you taught me that yourself. If you believe that I'm prepared, why hesitate? Hecate (HecateField_0277): Because your path toward mastery is yours alone; when you decide you are prepared for more, remember that the Oath of the Unseen is there for you. As am I. HecateBossAboutSilence01 Hecate (HecateField_0005): 'Tis a particularly quiet night. Observe the silence for a moment, ere we begin our little test of just how capable you have become. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0006): It does seem unusually still, and the Moon wanes. An ill portent, Headmistress? Our Shades should check up on your hounds... Hecate (HecateField_0006): No need, the hounds fend mostly for themselves. Like as not, they use this time to rest; as you'd be wise to do, now and again. HecateBossAboutSolitude01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0005): I didn't mean to keep you waiting long, Headmistress. Or do you always arrive at just the right instant? Hecate (HecateField_0004): A bit of solitude here hardly is a waste of time; I never merely wait. I've more matters to attend to in these woods, besides. But {#Emph}first... HecateBossAboutSolitude02 Hecate (Hecate_0444): We are alone; nary the baying of a single hound is to be heard. Selene high above shall have to be sufficient for an audience. HecateBossAboutSuit01 Hecate (HecateField_0255): The Black Coat you now possess... surrounding you as though 'twas forged with you in mind. I feared that it was broken and beyond repair, but... it was merely waiting. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2857): Waiting for me... I've never wielded anything like it. Xinth doesn't exactly listen to my thoughts, but heeds my every instinct. Hecate (HecateField_0256): Not your {#Emph}every {#Prev}instinct; the Arms of Night have a singular purpose, which they go about each in their own peculiar respect. You are to execute that purpose without fail. HecateBossAboutSurface01 Hecate (Hecate_0195): {#Emph}Hmm. {#Prev}I was beginning to think you had grown so fond of the surface that you would not be coming back here anytime soon. Melinoe (Melinoe_0654): Our task takes me to the very ends of the Earth. I have unfinished business there as well as here. I'm much more comfortable in these environs, though. Hecate (Hecate_0196): {#Emph}Comfortable? {#Prev}You should be fully on your guard, and braced for battle! Let's see how {#Emph}comfortable {#Prev}this is for both of us. HecateBossAboutTask01 Hecate (Hecate_0048): I know your task is difficult, and also know you have it in you to succeed. HecateBossAboutTask02 Hecate (Hecate_0450): Your task may be an honor, but the wisest whom you know shall not envy you for it. HecateBossAboutTesting01 Hecate (Hecate_0072): There you are. I cannot stay for long. Just long enough to put you to the test. Melinoe (Melinoe_0039): I got here as quickly as I could, Headmistress. And still you had to wait. Hecate (Hecate_0073): To wait is the practice of patience. Now, on to other practices, I think. HecateBossAboutTorch01 Hecate (HecateField_0167): I trust the dark of Erebus was not too much to handle with the ever-burning Flames of Ygnium to light your path? Melinoe (Melinoe_1034): No, Headmistress, it was not. Although, I've much to learn in how to wield these Flames. Hecate (Hecate_0300): Then you have come to the right place. Show me how you make the shadows dance. HecateBossAboutTorch02 Hecate (HecateField_0112): The Umbral Flames of Ygnium, at your command! You use them in your own way; not merely copy my technique. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0506): You always said once I was ready to brandish the Flames, that I ought wield them with my intuition as my guide. Hecate (HecateField_0113): Just so. I always favored these old Flames of mine, but... as to whether {#Emph}you {#Prev}and {#Emph}yours {#Prev}truly connect, we'll have to see. HecateBossAboutTyphonFight01 Hecate (Hecate_0751): Has the thin air upon that mountain made you mad, Melinoë? Confronting Typhon of all creatures face to face! Hermes told me everything. Save what was going through your head. Melinoe (Melinoe_4042): I was not about to turn my back on my family, especially not after having come so far. What should I have done, flee at the first sight of that monster? We flee only as a last resort. Hecate (Hecate_0752_B): That we do. And you had best keep reminding yourself of it ere you confront the Father of All Monsters again. Do not take unnecessary risks, or lose sight of the task. HecateBossAboutTyphonFight01_B Hecate (Hecate_0751): Has the thin air upon that mountain made you mad, Melinoë? Confronting Typhon of all creatures face to face! Hermes told me everything. Save what was going through your head. Melinoe (Melinoe_4043): He's much, much larger than any other foe I've faced, but that doesn't make him invincible. I suspected he'd have a difficult time contending with a small, quick adversary. Hecate (Hecate_0753_B): I would commend you for the outcome were I not so utterly aghast. The Father of All Monsters may not be quite so easy to surprise ere you confront him again. Do not take unnecessary risks, or lose sight of the task! HecateBossAboutTyphonFight02 Hecate (HecateField_0274): Had your fill of Olympus for a while? Surpassing me here must be far less burdensome than having to gouge all of Typhon's eyes. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3158): It's positively pleasant by comparison. But I'll get back to dealing with the Father of All Monsters soon enough. Hecate (HecateField_0275): Then gather what strength you can in the meantime. For now, the Underworld awaits; but I yet hold the key. HecateBossAboutWeaponAspects01 Hecate (HecateField_0106): What's that you're brandishing? {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, the Nocturnal Arms begin to show their myriad colors. The silver you well know is but one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0503): Each of the Aspects of the Arms of Night represents a bearer from another time. I'm still learning the full extent of what they can do. Hecate (HecateField_0107): And I suspect you shall continue doing so. If nothing else, this ought to make things further interesting here for the both of us. HecateBossAboutWeaponAspects02 Hecate (HecateField_0285): Each night, I wonder which of your forms I shall confront. Have you considered why so many different Aspects of the Nocturnal Arms are at your disposal? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3475): The bearers of the Arms safeguard the Underworld, but... I don't think they all could wield Aspects other than their own. Perhaps something about my task requires it. Hecate (HecateField_0286): Or perhaps the Arms have come to have affinity for you; not unlike a close companion who entrusts you with a secret that is never to be shared! Do not betray their confidence. HecateBossAboutWitchcraft01 Hecate (HecateField_0096): Our craft leaves little room for doubt, yet some always remains; and even a little can be far too much. HecateBossCloseMatch01 Hecate (Hecate_0435): You almost had me last we clashed, although a narrow loss is nonetheless a loss. I expect you to follow through to victory this time. HecateBossFirstAppearance Hecate (Hecate_0007): Welcome to the edge of Erebus. Well done, Melinoë. Melinoe (Melinoe_0037): Thank you, Headmistress Hecate. I could not have reached this point without your guidance. Hecate (Hecate_0008): And, in turn, you shall not {#Emph}pass {#Prev}this point without a demonstration of your capability. Melinoe (Melinoe_1171): My capability? You'd have us face each other here... even though my task has already begun? Hecate (Hecate_0438): Your training shall never be complete. And I would know if you stand any chance at all against our enemy. HecateBossFirstAppearanceAlt Hecate (Hecate_0436): You reached the edge of Erebus already. You have surpassed my expectations, Melinoë. Melinoe (Melinoe_1170): Thank you, Headmistress Hecate. For all your guidance, and the compliment. Hecate (HecateField_0271): 'Twas not a compliment, merely a point of fact. Though I would see firsthand a demonstration of your capability. Melinoe (Melinoe_1171): My capability? You'd have us face each other here... even though my task has already begun? Hecate (Hecate_0438): Your training shall never be complete. And I would know if you stand any chance at all against our enemy. HecateBossGrantsCardUpgradeSystem01 Hecate (HecateField_0178): You have grown physically quite strong... but spiritually, more is to be done. The Altar of Ashes; there is an incantation that may make your nightly meditations at it better spent. Melinoe (Melinoe_3449): {#Emph}The Consecration of Ashes... HecateBossGrantsCodex01 Hecate (Hecate_0143): You have survived against me, and for {#Emph}that{#Prev}, you're owed a gift. May you learn well through it, Melinoë. Melinoe (Melinoe_0177): The Book of Shadows... HecateBossGrantsFamiliarSystem01 Hecate (HecateField_0160): Do bring an Animal Familiar along next time, if but to keep things livelier for me! We have the means to keep them safe, even in scuffles such as these. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1999): {#Emph}Faith of Familiar Spirits{#Prev}... this should work on Frinos, or perhaps... HecateBossGrantsShrineUpgrade01 Hecate (HecateField_0278): One further secret of the Oath of the Unseen I shall reveal now. When you feel suitably prepared, consider this. Then perhaps we shall clash under a new set of circumstances... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3474): The secret to the Vow of Rivals... HecateBossGrantsWeaponUpgradeSystem01 Hecate (HecateField_0177): To bear each of the Nocturnal Arms is a terrible responsibility. You've only begun to realize their nature; a certain incantation shall deepen your understanding. Melinoe (Melinoe_3448): {#Emph}The Aspects of Night and Darkness... HecateBossKidnapped01 Chronos (Chronos_0973): It seems the pathways into Erebus are not as well-protected as they used to be. I take it this here is the individual who pitted you against me, is this not? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3873): Headmistress! Headmistress, fight him, {#Emph}fight! {#Prev}Fight back!! Empty (/EmptyCue): . . . . Chronos (Chronos_0974): This {#Emph}headmistress {#Prev}of yours has considerable knowledge, to have thus concealed you... but she is weary, such that {#Emph}Time {#Prev}caught up with her at last. She hears not a word you say. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3874): Unhand her, wretch. Unhand her, or I'll tear you to pieces. Chronos (Chronos_0975): My own children tore me to pieces once before. Look where {#Emph}that {#Prev}got them! Whoever this is, perhaps she shall be more cooperative than you, although I am not particularly optimistic; nor should you be. Good evening! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3875): Come back! {#Emph}Augh!! HecateBossLowHealth01 Hecate (Hecate_0080): Forgive my bluntness but you're in a rather sorry-looking state, Witch. 'Tis unfair for me to fight you whilst I am at my best and you are not. Melinoe (Melinoe_0157): Life, however, is unfair, is it not, Headmistress? Here lies a lesson to be learned I think. Hecate (Hecate_0081): Just so. Pray you fare as capably in battle as in speech. Now commence! HecateBossLowHealth02 Hecate (Hecate_0082): You've suffered injuries, Melinoë. You know that I can cure them for you, and you know that I shall not. Not here. It brings me no pleasure. Melinoe (Melinoe_0158): My injuries are teachings, Headmistress. I could have been more careful getting here. Now I face the consequence. Hecate (Hecate_0083): Correct! Stand tall and fight me, then. Use well your last remaining strength. HecateBossLowHealth03 Hecate (Hecate_0084): Your wounds give me the upper hand, Melinoë. What hope have you of ever finding our enemy in such a state? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0002): I've not much hope for it at all, Headmistress. Although perhaps I'll get through {#Emph}you{#Prev}, at least. Hecate (HecateField_0002): {#Emph}Perhaps{#Prev}, as you say. We fight for every step, for every scrap that we can get. Get through {#Emph}me {#Prev}if you can! HecateBossMiscOutro01 Hecate (Hecate_0140): Well fought again, Melinoë. Proceed, and moonlight guide you. HecateBossMiscOutro02 Hecate (Hecate_0141): May all your enemies beyond succumb to you as readily. HecateBossMiscOutro03 Hecate (Hecate_0142): Well fought. But I cannot mend your wounds, and neither shall your enemies. HecateBossMiscOutro04 Hecate (Hecate_0314): You'll continue to grow, whilst I continue thusly testing you. HecateBossMiscOutro05 Hecate (Hecate_0315): Impressive show of force. Hold nothing back as you continue on. HecateBossMiscOutro06 Hecate (Hecate_0316): You passed this test again, though how much farther you can go, we'll see. HecateBossMiscOutro07 Hecate (Hecate_0317): You've earned these spoils; may they strengthen your craft. HecateBossMiscOutro08 Hecate (Hecate_0318): I shall see you at the Crossroads anon. I shall be catching there my breath... HecateBossMiscOutro09 Hecate (Hecate_0319): {#Emph}Whew! {#Prev}No further need to keep each other here, I suppose... HecateBossMiscOutro10 Hecate (Hecate_0320): Go on, Melinoë. The greatest teacher is out {#Emph}there. HecateBossMiscOutro11 Hecate (HecateField_0086): Just when I thought I had you, you seized control of the fight! Well fought! HecateBossMiscOutro12 Hecate (HecateField_0087): You used your last remaining moments very well. May you fare well below. HecateBossMiscOutro13 Hecate (HecateField_0088): You wield Descura capably, and I can tell the bond you share is strong. Now farewell. HecateBossMiscOutro14 Hecate (HecateField_0089): Your growing skill with Lim and Oros makes you something to be feared. Good. HecateBossMiscOutro15 Hecate (HecateField_0090): I shall return to shadows hence. Trust that your eve is only beginning. HecateBossMiscOutro16 Hecate (HecateField_0091): We shall have to do this again some other eve. HecateBossMiscOutro17 Hecate (HecateField_0092): You have grown strong, although we've an eternity to hone our craft. HecateBossMiscOutro18 Hecate (HecateField_0093): May you show even greater wrath against the enemies awaiting you below. HecateBossMiscOutro19 Hecate (HecateField_0094): Well fought, and may the Fates be generous to you in your descent. HecateBossMiscOutro20 Hecate (HecateField_0095): I have impeded you for long enough this night. Go, make the most of this attempt. HecateBossMiscOutro21 Hecate (HecateField_0353): The Flames of Ygnium burn bright for you... but mastery is an everlasting pursuit. HecateBossMiscOutro22 Hecate (HecateField_0354): You handle Zorephet as though its bulk is not an inconvenience but a strength... HecateBossMiscOutro23 Hecate (HecateField_0355): The Skull of Revaal is not a simple artifact to wield... but I can see you two have come to grips. HecateBossMiscOutro24 Hecate (HecateField_0356): At least let me get in a strike or two next time for sake of pride, Melinoë? HecateBossMiscOutro25 Hecate (HecateField_0357): As elusive as a Shade. I don't believe I struck you even once. HecateBossMiscOutro26 Hecate (HecateField_0358): Impressive work to have evaded every strike; my own and that of my Sisters as well. HecateBossMiscOutro27 Hecate (HecateField_0359): You arrived with not so much as a single cut or scrape, and thus depart. Such strength and agility as can stop Time. HecateBossMiscOutro28 Hecate (HecateField_0361): You scarce afforded me a single opening. Show no such mercy to our enemies either. HecateBossMiscOutro29 Hecate (HecateField_0362): Swiftly and thoroughly dispatched as though I was no threat to you at all. HecateBossMiscOutro30 Hecate (HecateField_0363): I see you are not in any mood to be slowed down! Hold fast to that ferocity. HecateBossMiscOutro31 Hecate (HecateField_0364): Well, go on! 'Tis clear that you are in a hurry, for how quickly you were able to overcome what threat I posed! HecateBossMiscOutro32 Hecate (HecateField_0365): Lord Hermes would be most impressed with how swiftly and thoroughly you settled the score here. HecateBossMiscOutro33 Hecate (HecateField_0366): Know only that I would not willingly confront the fury of Xinth for merely anyone, Melinoë... HecateBossMiscStart01 Hecate (Hecate_0086): Come show to me what you have lately learned. HecateBossMiscStart02 Hecate (Hecate_0087): Let us begin the lesson, then, Melinoë. HecateBossMiscStart03 Hecate (Hecate_0088): The Moon shall be our witness here tonight. Prepare! HecateBossMiscStart04 Hecate (Hecate_0089): Are all your sorceries prepared? Then let us clash. HecateBossMiscStart05 Hecate (Hecate_0090): Strike at me so that the heavens themselves shudder! HecateBossMiscStart06 Hecate (Hecate_0091): Steady your breathing, and steel your nerves, Melinoë. HecateBossMiscStart07 Hecate (Hecate_0092): Hold nothing back against me here, Melinoë. HecateBossMiscStart08 Hecate (Hecate_0093): Each time you face me you step closer to your true potential, Witch. HecateBossMiscStart09 Hecate (Hecate_0094): Now let us match our powers, one Witch to another. HecateBossMiscStart10 Hecate (Hecate_0166): Shall we discern if you can vanquish me again, Witch? HecateBossMiscStart11 Hecate (Hecate_0167): You may surpass me, but how much strength shall doing so cost you? HecateBossMiscStart12 Hecate (Hecate_0168): Come forth, and I expect a better outcome than when last we clashed. HecateBossMiscStart13 Hecate (Hecate_0169): Are you prepared for another hard lesson, or are you going to get past me? HecateBossMiscStart14 Hecate (Hecate_0170): You got here quickly, though with haste comes more capacity to make mistakes. HecateBossMiscStart15 Hecate (Hecate_0171): No getting out of Erebus except through me. HecateBossMiscStart16 Hecate (Hecate_0172): It seems to me that you are well prepared, so let's begin. HecateBossMiscStart17 Hecate (Hecate_0453): Let us see if you shall keep your streak of victories intact. HecateBossMiscStart18 Hecate (Hecate_0454): Do me the dignity of never letting down your guard. HecateBossMiscStart19 Hecate (Hecate_0455): You have learned much since first we fought, though there is always more. HecateBossMiscStart20 Hecate (Hecate_0456): The pleasantries can wait until we reunite at the Crossroads anon. HecateBossMiscStart21 Hecate (HecateField_0021): I've a sense this shan't take very long at all. HecateBossMiscStart22 Hecate (HecateField_0022): What say we give Sister Selene a good show up there. HecateBossMiscStart23 Hecate (HecateField_0024): 'Tis a new moon, and an opportunity for a new beginning. But first...! HecateBossMiscStart24 Hecate (Hecate_0173): You are not merely being tested here; you are never to cease learning. HecateBossMiscStart25 Hecate (HecateField_0023): The Moon is full and clear this eve. Brings a certain drama to our confrontation, does it not? HecateBossMiscStart26 Hecate (Hecate_0746): We witches oft are underestimated. But, I am well aware how capable you are. HecateBossMiscStart27 Hecate (HecateField_0345): I can recall some of your many tricks whilst brandishing Descura there, though why don't you remind me? HecateBossMiscStart28 Hecate (HecateField_0346): It's not my custom to let others rush at me with knives. But for you and Lim and Oros, {#Emph}anything. HecateBossMiscStart29 Hecate (HecateField_0347): So it's to be these old torches of mine against your own once more? I am quite partial to this clash. HecateBossMiscStart30 Hecate (HecateField_0348): These woods shall look more like a meadow soon as you keep swinging that old Moonstone Axe about... HecateBossMiscStart31 Hecate (HecateField_0349): The Argent Skull, the very face of death... I daresay it shows the hint of a smile in our midst. HecateBossMiscStart32 Hecate (HecateField_0350): Xinth the Black Coat once again tonight? Then I shall brace myself for impact, and suggest {#Emph}you {#Prev}do the same. HecateBossMiscStart33 Hecate (HecateField_0351): We each have a Dark Side waiting to reveal itself. Now's as good a time as any to show {#Emph}mine. HecateBossMiscStart34 Hecate (HecateField_0352): Let us ensure that such a terrifying night is not to be forgotten by our witnesses. HecateBossMissedFight01 Hecate (Hecate_0439): I had expected your arrival here the prior eve, but 'twas not for me to cut short that attempt. However, I shan't hesitate to cut short {#Emph}this {#Prev}one. HecateBossOutro01 Hecate (Hecate_0012): You fought with diligence and with ferocity. But surely there is more for you to learn beyond this threshold. Melinoe (Melinoe_0041): I look forward to it, Headmistress. What about you? Can you not join me? Hecate (Hecate_0445): No; I dare not stray too far from our abode. Continue now your task. I shall await your safe return. Melinoe (Melinoe_0176): Thank you, Headmistress... HecateBossOutroAltFight01 Hecate (HecateField_0282): ...You've grown. There was a time you never could have stopped me had I used Dark Side against you thus. {#Emph}Hm. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3396): She still held something back... HecateBossOutroNoArcana01 Hecate (HecateField_0161): The Arcana gave to you no benefit at all this eve and still you bested me. I know not whether to heap praise, or reprimand you for being such a little show-off! {#Emph}Hah! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2031): I've gotten stronger... HecateBossPostEpilogue01 Hecate (HecateField_0334): Tell me something now, Melinoë. Who is the fiercest enemy that you have overcome in all of this? Chronos? Typhon? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4203): I know what you insinuate, Headmistress... Hecate. I got in my {#Emph}own {#Prev}way more than any of my foes. Save for you, perhaps, but that's more or less the same thing. Hecate (HecateField_0335): The limits we impose upon ourselves inhibit what we can achieve. Overcoming those limits is extraordinarily difficult. But, you have done it now... again, and again. HecateBossPostEpilogue02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4387): You've had those flames for quite a while, haven't you, Hecate? Are they... from your place of origin? Hecate (HecateField_0336): They lighted my way in my youth, and even still. Care for your possessions, and they may last you a good while... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4388): I always wondered why none of the Aspects of the Nocturnal Arms I'd discovered were yours... Hecate (HecateField_0337): Try not to dwell on it too much, lest it scatter your mind to no end. But yes, these flames and I do not truly belong. And for that very reason, I suspect the Fates figured me out. HecateBossPostTrueEnding01 Hecate (HecateField_0330): Everything as it once was, yet nothing is the same! A feeling I know only too well. It seems we are to prolong your training for a while... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4121): My training shall never be complete, isn't that right? Although it's odd to think that following my prior steps to Tartarus shall help maintain the proper course of Time... Hecate (HecateField_0331): Whether we truly possess the capability to maintain Time remains to be seen! But we can at least maintain ourselves. HecateBossPostTrueEnding02 Hecate (HecateField_0332): Your grandfather Chronos like as not awaits beyond this very threshold, where once he stalked that clearing as our bitter enemy. How has collaborating with him been? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4202): Unusual, I'd say... he's proven instrumental in eliminating the remnants of his past self. It must be very strange to face oneself in such a way. Hecate (HecateField_0333): How very strange indeed. But if it works, I shall not question it too much. Perhaps we'll all learn more of the mysteries of Time ere this is ended. HecateBossQuickMatch01 Hecate (HecateField_0295): When last we fought like this, I posed no real threat to you at all, I know. But your enemies are stubborn; there is nothing you can do to make us stay out of your way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3482): All the more reason I would like to make this quick. Though if I'm in a different mood perhaps I'll make things go profoundly worse with just a few Vows from the Oath. Hecate (HecateField_0296): Each night has something of its own to offer. Whether you are concentrating on your swiftness or your strength, ensure you're using well this time we have. HecateBossRepeatedWins01 Hecate (Hecate_0310): Strength; knowledge; patience. You have exhibited the three repeatedly. Well done. Melinoe (Melinoe_1040): Thank you, Headmistress. Though I continue learning from our every clash. Hecate (Hecate_0311): Good, because I've no intent to stand aside. Our craft is called a {#Emph}practice {#Prev}for a reason. Now, on your guard. HecateBossRepeatedWins02 Hecate (Hecate_0433): You surpassed me before, yet I wonder: Was it your mastery over our craft, or did the Fates themselves perhaps provide a little {#Emph}nudge? Melinoe (Melinoe_1600): Come, Headmistress. If I could be provoked {#Emph}that {#Prev}easily, I'd stand no chance at all. Not even if the Fates desired otherwise. Hecate (Hecate_0434): Good fortune seldom comes to those in no position to receive it. Show me your victory was no mere accident. HecateBossStrictlyBusiness01 Hecate (Hecate_0312): So much ado of late, both on Olympus and below. Yet I would have you cast all your worldly troubles aside whilst here. Melinoe (Melinoe_1041): My circumstances are what spur me on. Casting them aside shall be difficult, Headmistress... Hecate (Hecate_0313): I've no concern for {#Emph}difficult{#Prev}. We've time enough to gaze upon our navels at the Crossroads. Here, we are adversaries. Nothing more. HecateChat01 Hecate (Hecate_0002): May moonlight guide you on your path and blind your enemies. HecateChat02 Hecate (Hecate_0063): {#Emph}Death to Chronos. Melinoe (Melinoe_0014_V3): Death to Chronos. HecateChat03 Hecate (Hecate_0042): ...heart of wormwood, earth-apple, spider silk, wax-stone... HecateChat04 Hecate (Hecate_0043): ...mulberry, snake fang, sage blossom, scorpion-tail... HecateChat05 Hecate (Hecate_0044): Continue your task. Our enemy is distracted. HecateChat06 Hecate (Hecate_0045): May you cast a tall shadow in the light of the Moon. HecateChat07 Hecate (Hecate_0046): I leaden our enemies with the weight of my curse. So mote it be. HecateChat08 Hecate (Hecate_0047): You have returned to us, as has your strength. Go use it well. HecateChat09 Hecate (Hecate_0048): I know your task is difficult, and also know you have it in you to succeed. HecateChat10 Hecate (Hecate_0049): Push yourself hard, Melinoë, but do not break. HecateChat11 Hecate (Hecate_0050): Our enemy is distracted. Find him, and strike him down. HecateChat12 Hecate (Hecate_0051): You learn and grow each time that you set out. Continue on. HecateChat13 Hecate (Hecate_0156): Proceed at pace. No task of any consequence can be completed without effort. HecateChat14 Hecate (Hecate_0157): Much left to do both on the surface and below... HecateChat15 Hecate (Hecate_0158): We witches oft are underestimated. But I am well aware how capable you are. HecateChat16 Hecate (Hecate_0159): Chronos is old enough to think that he has nothing left to learn, the utter fool. HecateChat17 Hecate (Hecate_0160): Your power hinges on your confidence. Do not allow yourself to falter. HecateChat18 Hecate (Hecate_0161): Recover as you must. Returning thus is not a backward step. HecateChat19 Hecate (Hecate_0162): Do not relent, Melinoë. Our enemy most certainly shall not. HecateChat20 Hecate (Hecate_0163): ...moly petal, cypress leaf, mandrake root, quartz dust, garlic... HecateChat21 Hecate (Hecate_0164): ...moon-water, nettle, beetle-shell, nightshade... HecateChat22 Hecate (Hecate_0165): ...willow bark, sulfur, wing of bat, onion-skin... HecateDarkSideRing.AIData.PreAttackVoiceLines Hecate (Hecate_0347): Beware! Hecate (Hecate_0348): {#Emph}Burn! Hecate (Hecate_0349): {#Emph}Fire! Hecate (Hecate_0350): {#Emph}Fire...! Hecate (Hecate_0351): Bathe in flame! HecateFirstGreeting.VoiceLines Hecate (Hecate_0618): There you are. Come here! HecateFirstMeeting Hecate (Hecate_0725): Time forced our hand, Melinoë. Nary a soul expected you to slay our enemy last night, on a new moon, no less! Melinoe (Melinoe_2906_B): I lack such forgiveness for my failure, Headmistress Hecate. The Titan yet lives, and Olympus yet burns, while I'm back where I started! Hecate (Hecate_0726): Yes; recovered bodily if not in spirit, and grown wiser for it. You've not failed... merely begun! This is all part of the task. {#Emph}Death to Chronos. Melinoe (Melinoe_0014_V3): Death to Chronos. HecateFirstMeeting_B Hecate (Hecate_0411): 'Twas a worthwhile first attempt, Melinoë. I trust you'd have gone farther still had I not obstructed your path. Quite unsuccessfully, I concede. Melinoe (Melinoe_1802): You needed to ensure I was prepared. And I know there is much left to prove. Hecate (Hecate_0412): Just so. Trust well your instincts and your craft, and continue the task. {#Emph}Death to Chronos. Melinoe (Melinoe_0014_V3): Death to Chronos. HecateFirstMeetingCont1 Hecate (Hecate_0621): This cauldron's filthy still, alas. But there's something at our Altar you may use, and I've unsealed the Silver Pool as well. HecateFirstMeetingCont2 Hecate (Hecate_0622): We shall await your safe return. May moonlight guide you. Melinoe (Melinoe_0176): Thank you, Headmistress. HecateFishing01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0669): The Cocytus teems with life there by the riverbank again, Headmistress. Would you please join me for a look? Hecate (Hecate_0378): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, very well, why not! I suppose I could use a little walk, and we could use the fish. Hecate (Hecate_0651): ...'Twas not very long ago that you never would have permitted yourself this type of excursion. Nor had the mettle to request that I accompany you. Melinoe (Melinoe_3454): Headmistress, you're right. I could be hunting for our enemy this very moment, and you... you've so many responsibilities, yet I'm wasting your time. This was a mistake. Hecate (Hecate_0652): Hold, lest you frighten the river denizens; only {#Emph}then {#Prev}should my time be wasted here, Melinoë! You mistook the meaning of my words. Your capacity to still your racing mind is not a detriment. 'Tis a growing strength! Melinoe (Melinoe_3455): I'm... surprised you see it that way. Sometimes I feel I'm losing my focus. Why else would I have brought us here? Hecate (Hecate_0653): Perhaps you reasoned that we each need occupy our minds with other matters for a little while. And we are failing at it by continuing to speak! Let us be still together and direct our focus on the waters there. Hecate (Hecate_0396): The river always provides, and let no such task ever be beneath us. HecateFishing02 Melinoe (Melinoe_5035): I don't suppose you'd be willing to head to the fishing pier with me again? Good place to occupy our minds with other matters for a little while. Hecate (Hecate_0834): That it can be. Then very well. There is aught I wish to speak with you about, besides. Hecate (Hecate_0835): ...You truly believe I wish to rid myself of you? Either that or you sought to wound me more deeply with your words than you're able to with the Nocturnal Arms. Melinoe (Melinoe_5036): I'm sorry, Headmistress, it's just... at the House, I realized I didn't just want my family back... I wanted you to be happy. But I felt like you were pushing me away. Hecate (Hecate_0836): My happiness is neither your responsibility nor is it within your grasp. And 'tis I who ought apologize. For all that I put you through. Forgive me. Melinoe (Melinoe_5037): {#Emph}Never apologize when you are not at fault{#Prev}, you used to say. You were never easy on me, but also were never cruel. You taught me the difference, among so many things. Hecate (Hecate_0837): A lack of cruelty is not the highest standard. At any rate, evidently I've taught you enough. I still shall challenge you in Erebus for sake of fitness and attunement, but in time, perhaps you shall refer to me not by title, but by name... Melinoe (Melinoe_5038): Not as Headmistress, but as Hecate... that shall take a while. To think I used to use your name so casually when I was little. Much comes full circle with time. Hecate (Hecate_0838): More than you know. Now, let us shift our focus to the river denizens getting too close a listen for their own good... Hecate (Hecate_0839): That was a pleasant enough outing, but speak not to me of happiness again. 'Tis a foolish thing with which to be concerned; a byproduct of fulfillment, nothing more. Melinoe (Melinoe_5039): Of course. Thank you, Headmistress... Hecate. HecateFishingDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5306): Do you suppose we could take a brief break from all this and stop by the river over at the pier? Hecate (Hecate_0260): I do wish to see firsthand whether your skill at fishing has improved, yet unfortunately I have other matters that I must attend to now. HecateGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0663): Headmistress, if it isn't inappropriate, I have a little gift. Seeing as your personal supply ran out a while back? Hecate (Hecate_0457): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, the hounds shall lap this stuff right up I think! I shall safeguard it for them as a treat. And why don't you hold onto {#Emph}this{#Prev}, in kind? HecateGift02 Hecate (Hecate_0041): Oh, come, Melinoë, you need not influence me with such gifts. We have a task. Let us stay focused on it, no? Melinoe (Melinoe_0501): You have taught me to apply myself to many things at once, Headmistress. Why can't I stay on task while paying my respects? HecateGift03 Hecate (Hecate_0538): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, well... I do have a bit of a taste for this stuff, I suppose. I once traveled much more often, to places where 'tis easier to procure. Perhaps you sensed in me some wistfulness about that. Melinoe (Melinoe_0500): I've learned from you, Headmistress. So, this is just a small token of my gratitude. HecateGift04 Hecate (Hecate_0539): Whilst I appreciate the gesture, and the drink, 'tis entirely unneeded on your part. Have I not conditioned you to resist the temptations of unspoken contracts such as this? Melinoe (Melinoe_0664): I know not to expect anything in return, Headmistress. The act of giving needs to be sufficiently rewarding in itself. And please believe me that it is, with you. HecateGift05 Hecate (Hecate_0458): I've little taste for the traditions of the gods, you know. Lest you forget, I am a Titaness. More in common with our old enemy I daresay, than with the likes of Zeus and his ilk. Melinoe (Melinoe_2166): No matter your heritage, Headmistress, you have been a sure and steady guardian of mine throughout my life. A bit of tradition helps express the gratitude I feel. Hecate (Hecate_0459): Tradition is all well and good lest 'tis followed blindly; senselessly, I should say, for the blind are often very much aware. But let me not belabor your kind gesture; I am grateful, truly. HecateGift06 Hecate (Hecate_0540): I thought I said you needn't curry favor with me thus. I shall take this bottle, nonetheless; if but to penalize you for not offering it up instead to someone more deserving of your affection. Melinoe (Melinoe_2167): I can think of no one else I would rather have this than you, Headmistress. You've made me the goddess I am, and not a night goes by that I'm not grateful for it. Hecate (Hecate_0541): How often must I say, I'm not your mother, Melinoë. You needn't lavish me with such unbridled praise. I raised you to destroy our common foe. You owe no gratitude to me. Melinoe (Melinoe_2168): You've often said, what we intend and what we do are not the same. I know you're not my birthmother, so what? You've cared for me; that's more than enough. Hecate (Hecate_0542): I've used you, and I'm using you still. Can't you see that? I've attempted not to hide this fact from you. Yet you turn it aside. Melinoe (Melinoe_2169): You have raised me in accordance with the promises you made to my father. He never asked you to coddle me, did he? Surely he wanted me to fend for myself. Hecate (Hecate_0543): And do you think you can? You remain under my auspices, take aid from Olympus! You're not as independent as I planned. And furthermore, I've inadvertently caused you to think I've made you better off! Melinoe (Melinoe_2170): I believe you have. I know no other way. It fills me with sorrow, knowing you feel undeserving of the love I have for you. Hecate (Hecate_0544): ...Set your sorrow well aside for now. I'll drink your Nectar and enjoy it, if you please. Melinoe (Melinoe_2171): I would. HecateGift07 Melinoe (Melinoe_5029): Why don't we head to the taverna once again? You honored {#Emph}me {#Prev}before, and I would dearly like to honor {#Emph}you. Hecate (Hecate_0830): Then consider me honored. I've no desire to be worshiped thus; the Shades can leave their offerings for the hounds. Melinoe (Melinoe_5030): Headmistress, you're the reason all of us are here. The Shades adore you, and wish to commemorate that this great task you devised is finally complete! Hecate (Hecate_0831): We achieved what needed to be done, and we commemorated it last we attended the taverna. Now, hand over that Ambrosia, and I'll keep it for the next occasion. Melinoe (Melinoe_5686): It's yours... HecateGift08 Melinoe (Melinoe_5032): You mentioned holding onto Ambrosia for the next celebratory occasion, so I wanted to donate more for when the time comes. To the next great victory of the Unseen! Hecate (Hecate_0832): Oh, {#Emph}stop{#Prev}, Melinoë! Evidently neither of us knows what to do with themselves now, as you are so {#Emph}insistent {#Prev}on these most-unnecessary gifts! Leave me in peace. Melinoe (Melinoe_5687): I wasn't trying to upset you.... Did you truly wish for me to stay there in the House that much? With Mother and Father... where I belong, you always said. Hecate (Hecate_0833): Purge {#Emph}that {#Prev}poisoned thought at once. I taught you a great deal in some respects but to the detriment of your experience in other walks of life. Melinoe (Melinoe_5688): ...I learn quickly. HecateGrantsBadgeSeller01 Hecate (Hecate_0861): Through your achievements, our status as the Unseen grows. So long as we do not become the subject of too many tales, other than the frightful kind. Melinoe (Melinoe_5295): Our Shades all seem to understand the need for continued discretion. They seem quite excited Nyx is back and watching over us. Hecate (Hecate_0862): They shall discover Night Incarnate is not easy to please. Melinoe (Melinoe_5567): {#Emph}Long Arm of the Unseen...

We are here to protect such creatures more so than the other way around. Melinoe (Melinoe_2511): Familiars are family, Headmistress. Perhaps through this ordeal, my bond with mine shall come to be as strong as the one you share with yours. Hecate (Hecate_0586): Of that I have no doubt as well. I've discussed the matter with Hecuba and Gale both, and they are willing to watch over you. If you ask nicely, of course. Melinoe (Melinoe_2512): What, truly? But they're bound to {#Emph}you! {#Prev}Wait, who must I ask nicely, you or them? Hecate (Hecate_0587): I'd start with {#Emph}them! HecateGrantsShrineUpgrade01 Hecate (Hecate_0794): One further secret of the Oath of the Unseen I shall reveal now. When you feel suitably prepared, consider this. Then perhaps we shall clash under a new set of circumstances... Melinoe (Melinoe_4600): The secret to the Vow of Rivals... HecateGrantsWeaponUpgradeSystem01 Hecate (Hecate_0694): The Nocturnal Arms you bear are strong, yet burden you with terrible responsibility. One that you are only beginning to understand.

Hecate (Hecate_0695): That is the correct way to look at it. And I would share with you a certain incantation that shall deepen this relationship of yours.

Hecate (Hecate_0968): The savior of Olympus. Hecate (Hecate_0969): Back from the cold? Hecate (Hecate_0970): Any trace of Typhon left? Hecate (Hecate_0971): Culled those monsters. Hecate (Hecate_0972): Reconstruction proceeds. Hecate (Hecate_0973): Still dabbling with Time... Hecate (Hecate_0975): One fewer wretched Titan. Hecate (Hecate_0976): The House sent the good word.

Melinoe (Melinoe_2343): I promise not to cry again! I still get sad sometimes, but not as much... Hecate (Hecate_0519): Do not make promises you cannot keep. When tears well up, let them spill forth; they're not so precious that they need be contained. Melinoe (Melinoe_2126): But you never cry, Hecate! And I wish to become strong, like you! So that I might find Chronos, and destroy him for what he's done. And then you could hear my mother's laugh again! Hecate (Hecate_0520): And I shall do everything in my power to prepare you, so that you may succeed where I failed. If not for your family's sake, then for your birthright... as the Princess of the Underworld. Melinoe (Melinoe_2344): What do you mean you failed? You tried to beat Chronos yourself? He hurt you? Hecate (Hecate_0521): Concern yourself with your own pain, not mine. Destroying Chronos shall not change the past, and the pain shall linger, though assert itself less frequently with age... but enough of this! On the morrow, we shall teach you to hunt greater prey.

Some of your many tricks I've yet to learn. Hecate (Hecate_0297): Correct! Strength; knowledge; patience. When faced with a seemingly indomitable adversary, all three are required. Or a stroke of fate... Melinoe (Melinoe_1033): I'll count on the former. HecateLostAgainstHer02 Hecate (Hecate_0197): I thwarted you again out there. 'Tis unfair, I know. I arrive fresh as rain in anticipation of our clash, whilst you may already be battle-worn. Melinoe (Melinoe_0655): Fairness is a luxury, Headmistress. Though, I do sometimes envy your ability to travel such long distances in an instant. Hecate (Hecate_0198): Do not be quick to envy what you do not understand.

Melinoe (Melinoe_5040): I'm just... still thinking about our conversation at the springs, that's all. I know we mustn't speak of it, but... I understand now why you acted as you did while we were at the House. Hecate (Hecate_0841): Very well. Then spare me your sympathies. I am fortunate beyond compare. Most of us do not get second chances to amend our failures. Melinoe (Melinoe_5041): I've had innumerable chances. Night after night, attempting to achieve the same result. Hecate (Hecate_0842): You have not once failed. Only suffered temporary setbacks on your path to victory. Melinoe (Melinoe_5042): Then the same could be said of you. Hecate (Hecate_0843): {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}Perhaps. HecatePostEpilogue02 Hecate (Hecate_0844): The pressure still is getting to you, even with the task essentially complete. 'Twas my desire to see you shake that burden from your shoulders by now. Why does it remain? Melinoe (Melinoe_5043): Headmistress, each night I confront these remnants of old Chronos or Typhon. Such possibilities apparently are both real and innumerable, representing so many scenarios in which, for one reason or another, I failed... Hecate (Hecate_0845): Or merely have yet to succeed. I stand as living proof that you are not alone in what you aim to accomplish, Melinoë. Melinoe (Melinoe_5044): What are you saying, that there are others like you... like me? Attempting to achieve the same result? Hecate (Hecate_0846): I merely ask you to consider how the efforts you go to, the {#Emph}lengths {#Prev}you go to, may {#Emph}reverberate. {#Prev}The energy we put into this world comes back to us. Simply put, I am only here because {#Emph}you {#Prev}are. Melinoe (Melinoe_5045): But it's the other way around... Hecate (Hecate_0847): Is it...? HecatePostTrueEnding01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4942): How are you faring lately, Headmistress? You've been... well, more reserved than I expected since the House of Hades. You said we'd speak more later. Hecate (Hecate_0813): How soon {#Emph}later {#Prev}turns to {#Emph}now. {#Prev}Look, Melinoë, I ought be in a more celebratory mood, given what you finally achieved. I am, above all, very proud of you. But being back at the House awakened memories that ought remain dormant. Melinoe (Melinoe_5683): Even though... you got to see Mother and Father again, and Nyx? They were so grateful to you, I could tell! {#Emph}I {#Prev}am so grateful to you. Things may not have gone precisely as we planned, but the result {#Emph}is {#Prev}what we sought, isn't it? Hecate (Hecate_0814): ...You refer to Chronos. I longed to see that wretch destroyed. My heart remains poisoned by the thought. I am attempting still to draw that poison out... do give me time. Melinoe (Melinoe_4944): I remember you once told me that destroying Chronos would not change the past, and that the pain would linger. Hecate (Hecate_0815): And, I was probably correct. Yet we cannot help but reassess the turns our lives take, through our own choices and otherwise. Anyhow, are you prepared to carry on? Melinoe (Melinoe_4945): Nearly so. Retracing my steps should be interesting... Hecate (Hecate_0816): Of that, I have no doubt. HecatePostTrueEnding02 Hecate (Hecate_0818): So is it working out thus far? This {#Emph}change of plan{#Prev}, as our Tactician would say. Should you see even the slightest trace of the old Chronos, do notify me at once. Melinoe (Melinoe_5020): Grandfather appeared where and when we discussed. His claims about these remnant possibilities out of Time appear to be accurate. Shall we continue? Hecate (Hecate_0819): We may as well see where it leads. Also I wished to thank you, for your concern for me before. And express my gratitude that you decided to remain with us. I was... {#Emph}angry {#Prev}with your decision at first. But no longer. Melinoe (Melinoe_5021): It was not a difficult decision for me, Headmistress. It would have been harder had I realized it might anger you. I've been to both the Palace of Zeus and the House of Hades... and neither has a cauldron, or soft earth beneath my feet. Hecate (Hecate_0820): I understand only too well, Melinoë, and I would have chosen the same, except... I thought you'd have been the wiser. Now you are stuck here, another lost soul in the crossroads 'twixt heaven and hell... Melinoe (Melinoe_5022): But I'm not lost. I'm where I wish to be. Hecate (Hecate_0821): Truly... HecatePostTrueEnding03 Melinoe (Melinoe_5742): Headmistress... I wanted to say, I'm sorry that you couldn't share in all those memories of the House of Hades... of how I might have grown up had Chronos chosen differently. Hecate (Hecate_0947): No need for consolation, but thank you. You experienced a course in which my intervention was unnecessary. 'Twas for the best. I am gladdened you experienced such visions. Melinoe (Melinoe_5743): I just don't understand why you weren't there. It's odd to say, but... I think I always felt your absence, somehow. I never learned my craft... so much of what I hold dear. Hecate (Hecate_0948): But you {#Emph}have {#Prev}learned. As for that other possibility... it sounds as though the Titan proved unexpectedly useful around the House. Thus I was not there because your mother never needed me. Melinoe (Melinoe_5744): But {#Emph}I {#Prev}did. And still do. Hecate (Hecate_0949): {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}Perhaps. HecatePostTrueEnding04 Hecate (Hecate_0950): Lest you be tempted otherwise, do keep the details of what transpired at the House of Hades closely guarded... such as what you now recall. Rumors of your command over dreams and time may spread, but {#Emph}not {#Prev}the truth. Melinoe (Melinoe_5745): Because we achieved what should not have been possible... but, all these memories I've gained... perhaps I can tell {#Emph}you {#Prev}more about them sometime, at least? And others with whom I'm close. Hecate (Hecate_0951): Perhaps, eventually... though for now, discretion's the priority by will of Night herself. You are saved some complicated explanations in so doing, as well. Melinoe (Melinoe_5746): That's certainly true. HecateRangedTorchesRing.AIData.PreAttackVoiceLines Hecate (Hecate_0347): Beware!

I've a bottle of Ambrosia here, and... thought perhaps that we could share it at the taverna, if you could step away with me a bit! I know it's an odd time... Hecate (Hecate_0696): ...Melinoë, I'm going to resist my impulse to tersely decline, so that I might remind myself as to whether the greatest of Olympian delicacies lives up to its reputation! Let's be off. Hecate (Hecate_0697): ...I had not given this taverna any real thought. Such gathering-places, where one can be unguarded... dare-I-say relaxed? A liability. We need our senses sharp. Melinoe (Melinoe_3887): But now that you're here, you've come to realize that having such a place where we and Shades can comingle has its benefits? And that I didn't overstep when I restored it? Hecate (Hecate_0698): Yes I have, and no, you did not. The tension about these Crossroads has grown too palpable for my liking, as this much nervous energy does our cause no good. But, I digress. Discussion of our cause ought be off limits here. Melinoe (Melinoe_3888): Ah yes, more rules! Just what this taverna needs to ease the tensions of our small band of loyalists. I think you're onto something, Headmistress! Hecate (Hecate_0699): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, I see how it is. What, a sip or two of Ambrosia and suddenly your inhibitions are all gone? A powerful effect! We ought to use it in the cauldron if not here. Melinoe (Melinoe_3889): ...We're still talking about our cause, and our craft. Why don't you... tell me of a time when you were closer to my age, if you don't mind? Hecate (Hecate_0700): I mind. Though perhaps as we delve deeper into this bottle, I shall not mind as much! Shall we find out? To discovering the truth! Hecate (Hecate_0701): ...Ignore my sullen turn back there, Melinoë. These evenings I am more concerned about the future than the past. I trust I did not overly affect the atmosphere. Melinoe (Melinoe_3891): Nonsense, Headmistress. We're grateful you could join us. HecateTaverna02 Melinoe (Melinoe_5023): Would you care to split this bottle of Ambrosia, Headmistress? We never truly celebrated the restoration of the Underworld's King and Queen here. Hecate (Hecate_0824): Sipping the drink of your mountain relatives hardly seems suitable festivity, though very well. You are correct that these Shades shall be expecting {#Emph}something. Hecate (Hecate_0825): ...And so, I bid you all salute your Princess of the Underworld, who never relented against the threat of Time itself, and the Father of All Monsters, amongst many others! Melinoe (Melinoe_5024): Thank you, Headmistress. {#Emph}Everyone! {#Prev}I never could have done this without you... without these Crossroads, the one place I could always return to in a moment of need. Hecate (Hecate_0826): You are welcome here and safe, Melinoë. And whilst we had utmost faith in you, nevertheless what you accomplished was beyond imagining. Melinoe (Melinoe_5025): I did what you trained me to do. I'm grateful for your patience through all the many setbacks I had to overcome. Hecate (Hecate_0827): How else could we have stood against Time itself if not through patience? I knew you would be a capable student. 'Tis the only reason I pushed you as hard as I did. Melinoe (Melinoe_5026): So then what happens now to the Unseen? Our Shades each have an honorary place in Elysium waiting for them... Hecate (Hecate_0828): That may be, if they decide to leave. But, I suspect they're in no greater hurry to abandon this place than are you. There is always more we may accomplish here, and we stand to go farther together than alone. Hecate (Hecate_0829): ...Well, 'twas not the most formal gathering, but my sense is that it was worthwhile? All these Shades... they arrived here for lack of anyplace to go. Now, 'tis a permanent home. Melinoe (Melinoe_5028): Not just a place to stop... a place to stay. HecateTavernaDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3892): I don't suppose I could persuade you to come join me at the taverna for a bottle of Ambrosia, could I, Headmistress? Hecate (Hecate_0702): No, I don't suppose you can, not now. I shan't darken the mood there amongst the Shades requiring respite. Melinoe (Melinoe_2095): They're missing out I'm sure. HecateUnderworldRunCleared01 Hecate (Hecate_0408): You prevailed in your attempt! But our enemy is Time itself, and 'twould seem that he is not prepared to abdicate his stolen throne as yet. Melinoe (Melinoe_5685): I often fought back feelings that this task would be impossible. But we're getting somewhere, aren't we? Hecate (Hecate_0409): Impossibility tends to be transient. Time would wear us down, but with patience, we can withstand him until our night arrives at last. Melinoe (Melinoe_1799): Patience, then... HecateWithArachne01 Hecate (Hecate_0549): ...My point, Arachne, is... I've no intention to deflect blame for what I've done.

However, if my safety now is your concern... you can begin by showing yourself out. With all due respect. Hecate (Hecate_0550): Very well. I shan't intrude upon your home again; good evening. HecateWithArachne01_FollowUp Arachne (Arachne_0103): Another customer already! You just missed the great big witch. Not often that I'm honored with her presence.

Don't always trust you witchy types is all. But, if you're worthy of Aphrodite's blessing, you get the package deal. HephaestusAboutAphroditeRelationship01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0044): {#Emph}Whew{#Prev}, Aphrodite, she's a real force of nature, isn't she? And just about the only thing gets me to leave the forge! Not that she minds me working all the time. We've always had an understanding, I reckon! HephaestusAboutAphroditeRelationship02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0045): Oi Aphrodite seems to like {#Emph}you {#Prev}quite a bit! Likes just about everybody, granted, but with you it's different. She'd never fess to it though I reckon she gets a bit lonely here, you know? Lots of acquaintances, not many friends. HephaestusAboutAphroditeRelationship03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0136): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, wanted to say cheers for keeping Aphrodite company, being a decent listener and all. Me? I find talk more tiresome sometimes than this here forge... but not with her. Anyway! Small thing, big help. HephaestusAboutAphroditeRelationship04 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0268): Aphrodite's really taken to this warring stuff of late, but she is even happier now that the worst of all the fighting's done. And when {#Emph}she's {#Prev}happy, I am, too. So cheers again, witchie. HephaestusAboutApollo01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0071): Fresh-faced Apollo got to you before me, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}Well ain't that a surprise. He can help boost your spirit, {#Emph}I {#Prev}can boost your weapon. Tough choice, isn't it? HephaestusAboutAres01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0193): They come to me sometimes and ask, {#Emph}where's Ares? {#Prev}Like I'm supposed to know just 'cause we got a brotherly connection? It's bloody {#Emph}war! {#Prev}Must be he's out there having a great time! HephaestusAboutAres02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0241): Oi, I can't believe old Ares damn near missed the most exciting part of all of this! Showed up in time for Typhon, mind, and now he's showing up for {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Always ends up where the action is. HephaestusAboutArtemis01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0242): Run into Artemis, don't worry, she's been notified her next supply of arrows is already on its way. Chews through those things right quick, but damn if it ain't economical! She must be averaging a kill and a half per shot. HephaestusAboutAspects01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0091): Now hold on, that another weapon you got...? {#Emph}Ahh, right{#Prev}, the Nocturnal Arms and their shape-shifting tricks. Figures! You witches {#Emph}like {#Prev}changing things about, as I'm to understand. HephaestusAboutAspects02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0285): How many blasted weapons do you even have by now, witchie? Long since lost track of all their forms and such, but it's a {#Emph}lot! {#Prev}You've given me so much to work with here! HephaestusAboutAthena01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0205): Normally, it'd be ever-wise {#Emph}Athena {#Prev}who'd be first to greet you and make nice, but... she's been busy putting all my arms and armor to the test. Good news is, the {#Emph}testing's {#Prev}going well! HephaestusAboutAutomatons01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0081): All this warring, bit concerned I'll end up typecast as a weaponsmith! I make a lot of things, you know! Jewelry, fancy chairs, walking Automatons even! Though lately, it's all weapons, all the time... HephaestusAboutAutomatons02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0082): Oi, sorry 'bout all my Automatons up here. Heard you ran afoul of the lot! Tested 'em everywhich way... but not in this particular scenario. They give you any trouble, scrap 'em! You'll be doing me a favor. HephaestusAboutAutomatons03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0249): You might have thought I'd fix up my Automatons by now... or you're used to destroying them on sight. Well now you know how {#Emph}they {#Prev}feel! Don't reckon they feel anything, mind. HephaestusAboutAxe01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0054): Oi, that is Zorephet the Moonstone Axe, all right! Though not expected ever to lay eyes on it. Some mortals worship the labrys, you know? Here! Let's give 'em something to believe in. HephaestusAboutAxe02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0055): Never got why some mortals prefer axes with a single blade. Why settle for one? Twice the blades, twice the benefits, I say! No downside. In fact, I've been developing a {#Emph}triple{#Prev}-bladed axe! Still needs a bit of time to bake, but, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, anyway... HephaestusAboutBackstory01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0147): Must think I got it all up here, don't you? Well you'd be right! But let's just say you're not the only one who had to learn things the hard way, witchie. I needed to do what I do. HephaestusAboutChronos01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0040): Nothing like a good honest fight to settle a family dispute, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}Especially productive seeing as we can't even kill each other, as old Chronos hisself can attest. {#Emph}Ah well! {#Prev}Plenty of work for me! HephaestusAboutChronos02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0041): Right clever of old man Chronos to recruit a bunch of bitter dead against us, ain't it? We got them killed in wars and such... reckon the payback's only fair. More chances for my handiwork to shine! HephaestusAboutChronosBossW01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0258): Chronos must be getting right sore from all your meetings, {#Emph}eh{#Prev}, witchie? But ain't learned a proper lesson yet. Much as it must be nice flattening him, starting to wonder what's the plan here besides that... HephaestusAboutCreation01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0252): I'll let you in on a secret, witchie. The best part of working a forge ain't even the weapons and armor you get, but the act of bringing 'em into being. A bit like children I reckon! Except harder to make than maintain. HephaestusAboutDaedalus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0060): Like to think I can spot the handiwork of Daedalus, best mortal craftsman ever lived; and I {#Emph}have {#Prev}spotted it! Still keeping busy nowadays, is he? I'm sure even his work leaves bits of room for improvement here and there. HephaestusAboutDaedalus02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0061): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, this is going to be a real piece of work, since Daedalus already left his mark! I'd bless that dead old busybody bastard if I could, but I can never pin him down. HephaestusAboutDagger01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0053): You got the Sister Blades of Lim and Oros, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}Delicate-looking, but damn near indestructible! Light as a feather, too. {#Emph}This {#Prev}is going to be a treat! HephaestusAboutDemeter01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0077): I keep forgetting that you're Demeter's grand-kid! Can't stand being around her myself. Nothing personal, mind, I just can't get anything done when it's so blasted cold. HephaestusAboutDionysus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0194): You've not seen Dionysus, right? Probably just getting sloshed somewhere is all. Don't like when everybody's fighting... can you blame him? HephaestusAboutErisBossW01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0149): Heard Eris got her poor wings plucked, witchie! Next make her hand over her Rail of Adamant, would you? Shoots faster than any bow I've seen! Demands a closer look...! HephaestusAboutFamily01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0037): Never knew your family, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}Better off if you ask me. Though you... didn't ask me. Probably wouldn't even if you could, and I'm also keenly aware you're expecting my services not my opinions, so, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}... here. HephaestusAboutFamily02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0038): My mum and dad, they don't get on too good. But once in a long while, there's a spark between 'em, and they're like a proper king and queen again. The envy of all gods! Lately, though, they're mostly panicking. HephaestusAboutFates01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0084): There's talk up here that Chronos made off with the Fates or something like that? Well... those three have messed with all our lives so much, suppose it's only fair, ain't it? HephaestusAboutFields01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0204): Supposedly you're passing through the Mourning Fields along your way down there? Glad {#Emph}I {#Prev}ain't never seen a place like that. Misery's like smoke, gets in your eyes and such... hard to shake off! HephaestusAboutForge01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0036): Dark times of late, witchie, but what can you do? Tell you what {#Emph}I {#Prev}can do: I can sit here sweating over my forge, clanging away at armaments and such. So blasted hot and loud in here, nobody dares disturb my work. Ain't bad! HephaestusAboutForge02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0254): For all the times you've been in the area, not seen my forge but once, have you, witchie? That's by design. It's like a bloody vault in here, too many valuables. Including me! Sorry I missed you, mind. HephaestusAboutHades01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0043): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, not met your dad, but... heard plenty about him. Shame, might've gotten on better with him than the rest. Likes his metals and gemstones and such as I'm to understand, so... we'd have that at least. HephaestusAboutHecate01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0046): Been living under the auspices of the old Witch of the Crossroads, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}Not met her face to face. Keeps to herself, so I scarce believed it when Apollo said that she'd reached out with something important. Turns out, it was {#Emph}you! HephaestusAboutHera01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0075): So Mum gave you her blessing, just like {#Emph}that? {#Prev}Hard won's the favor of Queen Hera. Whilst mine... reckon it's a bit easier to come by... HephaestusAboutHeraRelationship01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0039): Got off on the wrong foot from the first, me and my mum. Can you blame her? Imagine seeing splendorous Apollo and Athena and so on, thinking, {#Emph}oi, I want to make me one of those! {#Prev}But instead, {#Emph}heheheh{#Prev}, you make me. HephaestusAboutHermes01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0078): Haven't the faintest what Hermes is up to. Where is he? Best make hisself useful, else I'm taking back the sandals {#Emph}and {#Prev}the hat! And then we'll see how blasted quick he is! HephaestusAboutHestia01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0076): When old Hestia said she liked you, 'twas all I needed to hear. The forge would be no good if not for her! She sparks the flame, I bend the metal, and {#Emph}you {#Prev}get the benefits. HephaestusAboutHiddenAspects01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0152): Now what is {#Emph}that {#Prev}you've got in hand there, let me see! Mayhap another Aspect of some sort, 'cept... {#Emph}augh{#Prev}, not seen anything like that before. I'm proper jealous now! HephaestusAboutHouse01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0140): While back, made your mum and dad bit of a housewarming gift, guess you could say. Scale model of Dad's palace here, for you Underworld lot to remember us by! That Chronos better not have scrapped the thing... HephaestusAboutIcarus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0192): You seen that Icarus flying about? At first I took him for some giant ghostly bird, but... it's the kid of Daedalus all right! Reckon he made his latest wings hisself. He's not too bad! HephaestusAboutKeepsake01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0135): See you still got that Adamant Shard I sent over before! Just a bit of scrap, really, but... it's a shiny one, and has some decent heft. And I can use it to pinpoint you {#Emph}quick! HephaestusAboutKeepsake02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0277): That bit of Adamant you got from me... it's come in handy, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}Pure as it gets, too! I hadn't thought you'd end up using it to call on me this much but... I don't mind at all. HephaestusAboutLegs01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0146): Must like to run about don't you? Me, at this point I would rather sit. And so I do! Won't find a better set of legs than this anyplace besides on Aphrodite herself! Yet even still. HephaestusAboutLob01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0056): All right, that's called Revaal, I think, that skull you got? Ain't exactly my mental picture of a weapon, liable to give me night terrors in fact, but... then I'll be the first to say, {#Emph}whatever works! HephaestusAboutMelinoe01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0035): So, you're a witch or something, I'm to understand? Then what do you need {#Emph}me {#Prev}for? Mayhap that fancy magick of yours ain't all it's cracked up to be! {#Emph}My {#Prev}work, witchie, is reliable. HephaestusAboutMortals01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0048): Those mortals, they sure got it rough of late. Sometimes I think there's just so blasted many of them now. More suffering and such! {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, reckon that's life! Don't get any say in being born, then do what we can. HephaestusAboutMortals02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0049): Oi what I said before, 'bout more mortals begetting more suffering and the like? Aphrodite, she reminded me there's more to it than that. And maybe she's right. It's just, I reckon the bad in things is easier to spot... HephaestusAboutOceanus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0083): Where'd you get off to, witchie? The Underworld's gutter from the looks of it, all cold and wet... piss-poor working conditions, that much is clear. HephaestusAboutOlympians01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0042): You've met most of the lot up here by now. So now you know how come I'm cooped up in this forge. The work needs doing, not to mention it's less tiring than being with the family all the time. HephaestusAboutOlympus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0080): Oi, you made it all the way up to the mountain earlier? I'd give you a tour of the old forge next time, it's just... it's sealed up. Damn near impossible to find! Security's sake. HephaestusAboutPalace01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0257): Heard you talked to mum and dad, face to face! Not even {#Emph}I {#Prev}get to do that much. Must have been right nervous meeting 'em. Or mayhap not considering what you did to get there. HephaestusAboutPandora01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0253): For all these scuffles with Prometheus, reminds me there was once this lass who, after right mean circumstances, accidentally cursed her kind forevermore. Long story long ago, but... I always thought mayhap she cursed us, too. HephaestusAboutParents01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0143): No telling how many cousins I got, but you're another, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}You're getting special treatment only 'cause my mum and dad, they asked me real nice. Don't mind the extra work! HephaestusAboutPolyphemus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0090): Ran into no-eyed Polyphemus, so I hear? Mean bastard, big, all meat and muscle. Could've used {#Emph}that {#Prev}one at the old forge. Ah well! Hope he doesn't try to chew you up or nothing! HephaestusAboutPoseidon01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0073): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, Uncle Poseidon's been of some assistance, then? {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}Reckon it's more welcome than him stomping uninvited in my forge, all sopping wet, filling the place with steam. {#Emph}Psh. {#Prev}What a kidder! HephaestusAboutPractice01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0145): This lot up here act like they all was born with all the talent in the world! Mayhap Apollo and Athena, sure, and Artemis, and Hermes... Aphrodite definitely, too, but, {#Emph}erm... point is! {#Prev}Most of us, we got to {#Emph}work {#Prev}at things before {#Emph}we're {#Prev}any good. HephaestusAboutPrometheus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0195): So we've got Titan problems real close to home! Blasted shame about Prometheus, but then... I reckon if Dad chained {#Emph}me {#Prev}up and had an Eagle chew my liver everyday, I'd be mad too. HephaestusAboutPrometheus02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0279): Don't want to get involved in all the ugly business with Prometheus and Dad. They won't be sipping Ambrosia anytime soon... but at least nobody's getting livers eaten now. HephaestusAboutSayingLittle01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0255): Well, if it ain't my finest client! Reckon we've reached the stage of our relationship where I needn't be conversing much, and can stick to what I do best. Keep sticking, too, witchie! HephaestusAboutSelene01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0070): Don't know if it's your silver gear or what, but for a bit there I thought I was staring at the Moon... don't much get to see the Moon in my line of work. HephaestusAboutSilver01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0151): {#Emph}Say{#Prev}, where'd you get that silver armor you've got on? Much finer work than first I thought. Not too much coverage, mind, but you seem more the sort that likes to freely move about. Always a trade-off to be made! HephaestusAboutStaff01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0052): So that's the Staff of Dusk, is it? Descura, that's her name! Forged who-only-knows-how-deep within the Earth under the watchful eye of Night... something like that. HephaestusAboutSuit01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0196): Am I mistaken, witchie... or are you bearing Xinth the Black bloody Coat? {#Emph}Wearing {#Prev}it, I should say! Heard how it's put together but I've never seen it for myself! Let's see what it can do. HephaestusAboutSurface01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0079): Welcome to the fine city of Ephyra, witchie! Most important thing to know is, whatever happens to you there, {#Emph}I {#Prev}cannot be held liable. I work weapons, not miracles... HephaestusAboutSurface02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0139): Ain't you not supposed to be able to breathe up here or something? Well, what can you do but push on through, is what I say! Ain't always easy but we manage or we try. HephaestusAboutSurfaceFoes01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0256): ...Don't know where all these Satyrs, Harpies, and whatnot are getting their supplies. Mayhap looting the ones you dealt with just the night before? Either way, looks like old-world Cyclopean design to me. It's solid work! HephaestusAboutSurfaceIntro01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0137): {#Emph}Oi! {#Prev}What are you doing on {#Emph}this {#Prev}side, you lose your way? Thought you had business in the Underworld, not here. Mayhap I'm just a bit out of the loop is all... you need this stuff or not? HephaestusAboutSurfaceIntro02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0138): I heard the latest, witchie, that you're headed for our mountain tippy-top! Just don't expect warm welcomes when you get here, as we are a... a bit preoccupied right now? HephaestusAboutSurfaceThreat01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0089): Don't know what's been with all the rumbling of late, but it ain't Poseidon, and it ain't my forge. Probably something bad! But, I ain't sweating it till I know what it is. HephaestusAboutTalos01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0191): Ran into mighty Talos, didn't you? Big man all made of bronze. Swore up and down he'd be my best invention yet, but... still got a few kinks need sorting out. Don't bother going easy on him, got to take him apart anyhow... HephaestusAboutTartarus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0203): Wonder what Chronos did to Tartarus? Was quite the architectural feat under your mum and dad! But the Titan hasn't got any taste. Probably turned everything to gold... HephaestusAboutThessaly01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0144): See all those Chronos ships trudging this way, witchie? Most of 'em already sunk before, however many times. They and their dead crews keep coming back to haunt us! Now {#Emph}that's {#Prev}some dedicated service, {#Emph}eh? HephaestusAboutTorch01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0057): Hold on, that's Ygnium you've got! The Flames of the Crossroads Witch! What, has the student become the master or somesuch, or is she just getting you to do all the dirty work? HephaestusAboutTyphon01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0206): You seen the size of the bloody monster been clambering up our mountainside, witchie? I haven't, thankfully, but... hearing that he's pretty big in size! Typhon hisself! I scarce can keep a steady hand with him about! HephaestusAboutTyphonDeath01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0272): Oi, where'd that great big monster out there go? The mountain's rumbling's all settled down and now my clanging's just about the worst of it. You got him then? {#Emph}Ach{#Prev}, I didn't even get to have a look. HephaestusAboutTyphonDeath02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0259): What I {#Emph}really {#Prev}want to know is, how'd you blast old Typhon into smithereens? Don't have much here could've done something like {#Emph}that{#Prev}, least not without taking the summit too. You got to let me in on it sometime. HephaestusAboutTyphonW01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0263): Wait... has Typhon been destroyed or no? Not seen much sign of monsters, which ain't known for subtlety. But then I heard my dad talking about how {#Emph}you've {#Prev}been dealing with their remnants here. Mayhap they're real small! HephaestusAboutVolcanoes01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0150): Feel any tremors, they are probably Uncle Poseidon shaking up the place. Though there {#Emph}are {#Prev}times it's me! When Earth herself gets angry with the state of things, I give 'er a good outlet to let off a little steam. HephaestusAboutWeapons01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0050): {#Emph}Oi{#Prev}, I take back {#Emph}everything {#Prev}I said about your weapon first we met. In my defense, ain't often I see workmanship superior to mine! Though, don't go telling anyone I said as much... HephaestusAboutWeapons02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0051): Wracked my brain about those fancy silver weapons of yours, trying to sort out who exactly could have made such things... or when? They're the Nocturnal Arms, ain't they? Meant only as a last resort! But here we are, I reckon. HephaestusAboutWeapons03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0250): I'll be the first to say one shouldn't judge by looks, but... I just didn't figure you to be so keen on proper weapon maintenance, 'cause yours are strong as hell! And making {#Emph}them {#Prev}shine makes {#Emph}me {#Prev}shine. HephaestusAboutZagreus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0047): While back, your brother came to us for help, what's his name... {#Emph}Zagreus? {#Prev}I wasn't having it. This family's problems would disappear overnight if we could just stop getting in each other's business! Felt bad sitting it out, though... HephaestusAboutZeus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0072): Reckon my dad'll be of help in all this! Lord Zeus, he loves to help! Especially hisself... lot on the line right now, and you don't get to be the king of Olympus being coy. HephaestusBlindBox01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0095): Nobody wants you playing favorites, witchie, so we've got this method of delivering you unmarked Boons where you'll just have to take what you can get. {#Emph}Surprise! HephaestusBlindBox02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0200): Mayhap expecting someone else? Or just as likely not expecting anybody in particular, 'cause a blessing is a blessing, ain't that right? HephaestusChat01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0003): Don't sweat it, you'll be as good as new here in a bit. HephaestusChat02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0004): Oi witchie, let me see about that hunk of metal you got there. HephaestusChat03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0005): You still alive, witchie? Here, this ought to keep it that way. HephaestusChat04 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0006): Just clanking away as always, though let's do some clanking now on your behalf. HephaestusChat05 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0007): Reckon you're looking for another tune-up, no problem at all. HephaestusChat06 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0008): No charge per usual, I'll just throw it on tab and some point Dad'll pick it up. HephaestusChat07 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0009): So you got a bit of metal I could effortlessly bend to my will or something? HephaestusChat08 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0010): I just had the strongest urge to bang on solid metal for a bit. HephaestusChat09 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0011): Oi, you're about due for another servicing appointment on that thing. HephaestusChat10 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0012): You got a dangerous line of work, witchie. Though I can get you some protection here. HephaestusChat11 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0013): How's it going and the like, all good? All good, that's great, now here. HephaestusChat12 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0014): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, it's been an awful lot of late! Don't sweat it, though. Always got room for you. HephaestusChat13 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0015): {#Emph}Ehh{#Prev}, think I got just the thing to help you with the killing-and-not-dying here, witchie. HephaestusChat14 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0016): You know, the more I work those weapons, the more intricacies I can find... HephaestusChat15 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0017): I don't normally just give away my services, but it ain't normally of late. HephaestusChat16 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0018): Say, what's that you got there, witchie, a nice weapon of some sort? HephaestusChat17 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0019): {#Emph}Ehh{#Prev}, fancy meeting you again and all, now let me get to work. HephaestusChat18 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0021): Only so much I can do when you're out and about with that walking stick, you know. HephaestusChat19 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0022): {#Emph}Ehh{#Prev}, it's that staff again... well, mayhap I can do something about the knots at least. HephaestusChat20 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0023): Fine couple of knives you got there, witchie. Though let's make 'em proper vicious here. HephaestusChat21 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0024): Hold up those flashy blades of yours for me and I'll have 'em sharper than ever. HephaestusChat22 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0025): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, brought my favorite out to play, did you? Just needs a tune-up and you'll be all set. HephaestusChat23 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0026): Who needs witchery when you can go on brandishing an axe like that? HephaestusChat24 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0027): Bringing a couple flaming sticks to a fight? Well, whatever works, witchie. HephaestusChat25 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0028): {#Emph}Ehh{#Prev}, turns out torches ain't just for lighting your way! Let's see 'em here. HephaestusChat26 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0029): All sorts of silver I can work with in that skull of yours, so put 'er up! HephaestusChat27 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0030): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, right sinister choice of weapon you got there, witchie. HephaestusChat28 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0032): Soon as I'm through, you go knock some sense into some wretches for me, would you? HephaestusChat29 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0208): Fine suit you got there, witchie! Though, reckon we could spice it up a bit! HephaestusChat30 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0209): Your suit seems in fine working order, though a tune-up couldn't hurt. HephaestusChat31 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0020): I always said a bit of evening work is good for you, witchie. HephaestusChat32 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0212): You work for the family, you're entitled to the family protection plan. HephaestusChat33 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0213): Oi, you got something from Daedalus already? Well I can work with that. HephaestusChat34 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0214): Come on up, the weather's fine! So I hear. Been in my forge a while now. HephaestusChat35 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0215): Apologies if my Automatons make any trouble for you whilst you're here. HephaestusChat36 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0216): I'm not the one out there taking hits. Least I can do is soften 'em for you. HephaestusChat37 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0217): Been keeping busy underground? I can relate better than anybody here. HephaestusChat38 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0218): You've been on a proper rampage, witchie! So let's see you keep it up. HephaestusChat39 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0219): How's things there in the Underworld, all right? Here they're not bad. HephaestusChat40 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0289): Oi {#Emph}there's {#Prev}my favorite Moonstone Axe! Go cleave something in two for me, witchie. HephaestusFirstPickUp Melinoe (Melinoe_0941): What, is he going to fit me for a suit of armor? {#Emph}In the name of Hades! Olympus, I accept this message! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0278): Oi, you that new cousin of mine? They told me you needed a weapon or something. {#Emph}Ach{#Prev}, you already got one! Right lousy one, can spot {#Emph}that {#Prev}piss-poor workmanship from here. Though, I {#Emph}could {#Prev}tune it up... HephaestusGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0959): Lord Hephaestus! Your services must be in very high demand. I'm grateful, and doubtless so are the Nocturnal Arms. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0085): Look I don't work for tips. Though ours ain't an ordinary arrangement, and ain't often lately I get new regular clients! So, here. Call it a trade. HephaestusGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0960): For you, mighty Hephaestus! Though, you may not have occasion for such offerings, working a hot forge every night and day... Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0086): Oi, this is just a service job, no need to get all cordial and the like. Nice gesture from you, though. So cheers and all. HephaestusGift03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1772): Great Hephaestus! Your work is beyond compare, and I'm grateful for your candor with me as well. Please, take this offering. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0087): Anytime I get an offering it's 'cause somebody wants something from me. You're already getting premium service, but hey, it's your Nectar! Well, mine now I reckon. HephaestusGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1773): Lord Hephaestus, you're so much more than your ingenious craft. I never could have expected you to be so generous to me, and I'm most grateful for it. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0088): Oi witchie, is it hot in here, or are you embarrassing me to no end? Just let me work the blasted forge, no need to make a big deal. HephaestusGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3728): An offering to my great cousin Lord Hephaestus, master of the forge! Such skill and artistry runs in our family, and so much of it with you. And you tolerate such intense heat without so much as a complaint! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0189): It does get awful hot here in my forge. Suppose a Nectar ought to cool me off! Not that I ought be drinking at a job like this, but hey! No one's watching, no one needs to know. HephaestusGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3729): If only we could have met when we weren't in the midst of a war, Lord Hephaestus, but at least I had the opportunity to meet you at all. Your dedication to your craft is an inspiration! I strive to be as skilled at mine. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0190): Oi, cheers! Don't know you all too well, and don't like drawing up conclusions till I'm very sure of something, but... you seem a decent enough sort. Much more than can be said for {#Emph}certain {#Prev}members of the family, ain't it? HephaestusGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4299): Hear me, Lord Hephaestus, for this offering of Ambrosia is for you, the hardest-working blacksmith on Olympus or below! Through everything that's happened, you've remained steadfast and calm, and helped me do the same. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0251): You think me calm, {#Emph}hah! {#Prev}Inside, witchie, I'm screaming half the time. I just get to pound this metal against that to let the anger vent. Other half the time, I'm feeling pretty good, knowing we found ourselves a decent sort in you. HephaestusLegendaryPickUp01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0068): ...You wouldn't know it, witchie, but I'm mad this evening. Nothing you did, mind! Fortunately, when I'm mad, I do good work. My {#Emph}best {#Prev}damn work if I say so myself... HephaestusLegendaryPickUp02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0069): Can't guarantee a weapon worthy of the gods is going to be enough for you to see this through. But I {#Emph}can {#Prev}guarantee you're getting the very best. HephaestusLootBought01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0093): That Gold you used to pay for this... {#Emph}hoh{#Prev}, it's shiny-looking, sure, but... blasted {#Emph}soft {#Prev}as metal goes! Cannot make halfway decent armaments with it, I've tried! HephaestusLootBought02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0094): Your Boatman over there? He's one of my best customers, you know! Shows up reliably, knows how to keep his mouth shut, all business, no nonsense. HephaestusLootBought03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0197): Normally my work fetches a hefty price, but... you're entitled to the family discount! Though Charon there does take a service fee, you understand. HephaestusLootBought04 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0198): Keep getting shipments of those golden Chronos coins! I melt 'em down, and dump the goop into the Earth whence it came... so Chronos can make more! HephaestusLootBought05 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0199): Having to pay for blessings strikes me as a bit {#Emph}crass! {#Prev}The favor of the gods only for the deepest pockets? {#Emph}Oi! {#Prev}You don't even {#Emph}have {#Prev}pockets. HephaestusLowHealth01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0062): You look like you've been beaten like a chunk of ore! Just keep it together long enough to appreciate my handiwork. HephaestusLowHealth02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0063): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, you're in shambles there, witchie. Mayhap this'll be too little too late! Could've come in handy earlier. HephaestusLowHealth03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0064): Well, you look plain awful right now, and that's coming from {#Emph}me! {#Prev}Though hey, you get a free weapon service with the, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}unwelcome remark. HephaestusLowHealth04 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0065): So you took some hits along the way, so what? You're an extension of your weapon, witchie! And a decent one can take a lot of punishment. HephaestusMakeUp01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0109): All right, we're squared away for now, and break time's over. Back to work! HephaestusMakeUp02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0110): That's what I like to call {#Emph}hammering out the details{#Prev}. Leave 'em to me next time. HephaestusMakeUp03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0111): {#Emph}Eh! {#Prev}Fine, consider me appeased. But don't incur my wrath again lest I— I don't even know. HephaestusMakeUp04 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0112): Was as close as I am liable to get to blowing up. Still working at it, mind! HephaestusMakeUp05 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0113): Now that you've seen some samples of my work, perhaps you'd like some for yourself? HephaestusMakeUp06 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0114): Some work you did! Though, looks like you could use some patching up. HephaestusMakeUp07 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0115): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, no use staying mad over nothing! Wasn't all that mad, mind. HephaestusMakeUp08 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0116): Been working on my anger issues. Can't blow my top like some of the others here... HephaestusMakeUp09 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0117): All right, I'd say we're settled up! We can continue bickering another time. HephaestusMakeUp10 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0118): {#Emph}Hrm{#Prev}, that there was not the most productive thing I did all day, but {#Emph}eh... this {#Prev}ought to make up. HephaestusPackageBountyIntro01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0245): I can appreciate an armament of damn near any shape or size, but... ones shaped like that Moonstone Axe you got might be my favorite were I forced to choose at weaponpoint. Let's see what you can do with it, witchie! HephaestusPostEpilogue01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0273): Everybody here is going off about the Fates deciding to show up unceremonious, to which I say: so what? Nobody knows what they're doing, {#Emph}them {#Prev}least of all. {#Emph}Ach{#Prev}, mayhap I'm just jealous they'll be taking time off work... HephaestusPostEpilogue02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0274): Don't know what's such a big a deal with the Three Fates going on about a distant time. You're telling me that in the span of, I don't know, twenty-something mortal generations, things might change? {#Emph}Ach {#Prev}you don't say! HephaestusPostTrueEnding01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0260): You bloody did it, then? Whatever {#Emph}it {#Prev}is, everybody here has got their own idea, but... I reckon Typhon's gone and Chronos is touched in the head, so... all in all, not bad. HephaestusPostTrueEnding02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0261): Got to keep on climbing up here, I'm to understand? Bit of {#Emph}insurance {#Prev}against any other Typhon-like events... and you and Chronos and the lot of us are gonna see to that? Well all right! HephaestusPostTrueEnding03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0262): So Grandpa Chronos keeps on lending us a hand! To deal with what he did to us, but still! I reckoned he'd be back to his old self by now, but... mayhap you scrambled him enough that it'll stick. {#Emph}Heh... {#Prev}think you could do that to my mum? HephaestusRejection01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0096): Whoever messes with me, they get pounded flat. No exceptions! Not even for {#Emph}you. HephaestusRejection02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0097): I don't stick up for myself, I'll never hear the end of it. So best ready for the sparks to fly a bit. HephaestusRejection03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0098): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, much rather keep on hammering this metal over here, but... I can switch over to {#Emph}you {#Prev}instead. HephaestusRejection04 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0099): Push me around, I'm liable to push right back. And I push harder than you might expect... HephaestusRejection05 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0100): Not going to blow my top... but neither will I take this lying down. Family requirements! HephaestusRejection06 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0101): You brought this on yourself, witchie! And by {#Emph}this{#Prev}, I mean my favorite hammer here. HephaestusRejection07 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0102): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, don't care for having to retaliate like this, but... it's all part of the deal, you understand. HephaestusRejection08 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0103): No denying Aphrodite was the fairer choice, but still! Can't let this go unchecked. HephaestusRejection09 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0104): You want to see my handiwork, then {#Emph}fine! {#Prev}Might get a wee bit noisy, though. HephaestusRejection10 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0105): Next I offer you protection, witchie? You'd be wise to take me up on it. HephaestusRejection11 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0220): You'd go warring with my brother over me? Where do you think he gets his gear? HephaestusRejection12 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0222): I'd pick Aphrodite too but... she's expecting me to fight for her, you understand. HephaestusRejection13 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0223): My dad's not used to anybody standing up to him, but we can get him there. HephaestusRejection14 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0224): Mayhap I'll make me mum real proud if I act spiteful without proper cause! HephaestusRunStart01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0066): Had an opening come up in my schedule, so I figured why not get your gear back to better-than-new condition right from the start? HephaestusRunStart02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0067): Oi, wanted to catch you right on your way out! Got a special this evening: free tune-ups for secret silver weapons, if you got one there? HephaestusRunStart03 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0153): Fine evening to you, witchie! My work ain't quick, but sometimes {#Emph}I {#Prev}can be. And here I thought, why don't I join her from the get-go, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}Can't hurt! HephaestusRunStart04 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0154): Where do you think you're off to, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}Best not head out against {#Emph}impossible {#Prev}odds whilst unprepared, so here! Let's get you suited up right quick. HephaestusRunStartSurface01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0155): Off to pay us all a visit then, or try? Reckon you're liable to get into a {#Emph}tussle {#Prev}or two on the way, but... I can offer a {#Emph}complete {#Prev}protection plan against that sort of thing! HephaestusUnderworldRunCleared01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0092): {#Emph}Ohh, there {#Prev}you are! We'd lost you for a bit! Must have gone so deep, we couldn't spy on you no more. Well, you've still got your arms and legs! Must have turned out all right. HephaestusUnderworldRunCleared02 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0148): Am I to understand you gave a certain {#Emph}Titan {#Prev}a right thorough walloping of late? Mayhap {#Emph}I {#Prev}helped in my own way? Not like you took down Chronos with your bare hands, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}Point is, {#Emph}good job{#Prev}, witchie! HephaestusUpgrade.BlindBoxOpenedVoiceLines Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0164): {#Emph}Oi{#Prev}, it's only me! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0165): Made to order! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0166): What's going on? Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0167): Just what you wanted, right? Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0168): What a bargain. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0169): Let's get to work! HephaestusUpgrade.DeathTauntVoiceLines Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0106): Best learn to take more punishment than {#Emph}that{#Prev}, witchie. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0107): Mayhap I'm the runt of the litter, but... I still know how to bite. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0108): Careful 'round me, witchie! Lest I tie you in a knot. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0201): Don't like what I see, down comes my hammer just like that! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0202): I ain't somebody going to let hisself get pushed around again. HephaestusUpgrade.FirstSpawnVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_0940): The blacksmith sigil...

Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0231): Watch {#Emph}this{#Prev}, witchie! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0232): Sure I don't see why not! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0233): I can't turn down a job! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0234): Oh come on that ain't {#Emph}fair! Chronos (Chronos_1265): The forge-god strikes...! Chronos (Chronos_1266): What {#Emph}is {#Prev}that clanging sound?

Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0173): Here you go! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0174): No problem! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0175): Simple. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0176): Can do. Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0177): Right! HephaestusWithAphrodite01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0129): No point in wallowing, witchie! Whatever's going on out there, you got to love what you do, simple as that. Though don't take it from {#Emph}me! {#Prev}Got the authority right here! Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0093): Why, thank you, dear! We each have so much love to give. And the beauty of it is, the more we give, the more we {#Emph}have! {#Prev}To think that such a {#Emph}precious {#Prev}thing can have a limitless supply! HephaestusWithApollo01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0125): {#Emph}Oi{#Prev}, witchie, was just chatting with {#Emph}Apollo {#Prev}how not all of us are gifted with good looks, and silver tongue, and all. Got to {#Emph}work {#Prev}at something to be good at it! Like he couldn't imagine! Apollo (Apollo_0102): Oh, I can more than {#Emph}imagine{#Prev}, Brother. Part of being talented is making things look easy. Take you and blacksmithing! For me it's quite like {#Emph}that{#Prev}, but with a bunch of {#Emph}other {#Prev}things! HephaestusWithAres01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0237): You can spot the family resemblance between Ares and myself, can you, witchie? Mayhap {#Emph}he {#Prev}got the looks, but {#Emph}I {#Prev}got all the personality, didn't I, Brother? Ares (Ares_0167): I grant you that we lack the same behavior patterns, Hephaestus. But if there is to be such competition between us, then perhaps Aphrodite herself could be the judge? If you are open to the possibility, of course. HephaestusWithDemeter01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0127): Your grandnan and I, we don't usually get talking very much. But now we got something in common, witchie: {#Emph}you! I {#Prev}say you've got things well under control, but... I can't fool the likes of Lady Demeter! Demeter (Demeter_0108): Not one of us has {#Emph}got things well under control{#Prev}, Granddaughter. So pay what Hephaestus said no heed! Instead use our strength combined... and Fates willing, restore for us some sense of normalcy. HephaestusWithHera01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0121): My Mum the Queen could not believe that you and I had been conversing lately, witchie. So I had to prove it to her here, you understand. Though seems she wants to be conversing in my stead... Hera (Hera_0112): My son Hephaestus need only prove he can exude the {#Emph}confidence {#Prev}befitting a god, rather than whatever it is that he exudes instead. He's made himself useful at least, yes? HephaestusWithHestia01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0133): The mortals, they like giving thanks to us, but what are {#Emph}we {#Prev}supposed to do, you know? Well, I just do the same. Give thanks to Lady Hestia, at least! For keeping my forge burning hot. She even visits me now and again! Hestia (Hestia_0158): Well, that's because I {#Emph}like {#Prev}it here, my lad! In spite of all the clanging and whatnot, it's {#Emph}peaceful{#Prev}, more or less. And you're not such bad company to keep. Though, why don't we show your cousin what we can cobble up {#Emph}together? HephaestusWithPoseidon01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0123): Proud family, this one! Uncle Poseidon here forgoes full armor on account that he's too quick and too thick-headed, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}thick-{#Emph}skinned{#Prev}, I mean to say. Ain't that the case, Uncle? Poseidon (Poseidon_0272): Come, Nephew, you know how much I value your craft! Even if I'd not be caught {#Emph}dead {#Prev}wearing much of it myself! It's just, only a {#Emph}coward {#Prev}goes to battle clad in plating head-to-toe; a coward far more likely to withstand his wounds, but {#Emph}still! HephaestusWithZeus01 Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0119): Always grand whenever our Lord Zeus decides to drop by unannounced, and watch over my shoulder whilst I work my forge! Even likes to point where my hammer ought to strike. Well, Dad, where to next? Zeus (Zeus_0162): Need I remind you, my good son, that this is not, in fact, {#Emph}your {#Prev}forge, but a facility that all of us may use? And I would use it now to benefit your distant cousin over there! {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, show me how to use this thing again... HeraAboutAphrodite01 Hera (Hera_0063): The goddess of love, always one step ahead of me. How many mortals do you suppose would seek me out to bless their wedding vows, had Aphrodite not already worked her {#Emph}charms {#Prev}on them? It seems our strengths go hand in hand. HeraAboutApollo01 Hera (Hera_0062): Golden Apollo already offered you his aid, has he now? Always so eager to please. I find his constant doting bothersome... but doubtless you're more tolerant than I. HeraAboutAres01 Hera (Hera_0271): Most all of us have a taste for violence, girl, but my son Ares takes it to a {#Emph}quite {#Prev}uncomfortable extreme. He may be useful in such times, but we mustn't let him get too excited. HeraAboutArtemis01 Hera (Hera_0282): We've sent young Artemis near to the border of your realm and ours. We require some additional awareness there, and you likely could benefit from a bit of covering fire. Sometimes I miss wielding a bow myself... HeraAboutAthena01 Hera (Hera_0281): We've wise Athena holding back the front but probably could use a score of others {#Emph}equally {#Prev}as capable. She has the Titan's raiders running scared, but... even she can't always stop them all. HeraAboutBows01 Hera (Hera_0169): You seem adept at keeping distance from your enemies. I once excelled at this myself, although I favored an arrow through the heart over magick, which I found rather unreliable. But, whatever works for you! HeraAboutChildren01 Hera (Hera_0036): Oh, the blessings that my kin and I bestow, why... they're a bit like children, I suppose. You don't always get the kind you want, but if you're clever, you can make them work! HeraAboutChildren02 Hera (Hera_0043): I always wanted a little girl, you know? But I got Ares. Hephaestus. {#Emph}Eugh! {#Prev}Zeus' girls Athena and Artemis stay well afield of me, and Aphrodite, oh, she does what she wants. Some family we are. HeraAboutChildren03 Hera (Hera_0046): Our great big family, why, we would have been just a small fraction of the size, if not for my husband's escapades! So many delightful children in my life as a result. HeraAboutChildren04 Hera (Hera_0274): Ever think of having children of your own, my dear? If so, perhaps you're thinking twice after all {#Emph}this. {#Prev}But we shall need another generation soon enough! And it may as well come from good stock. HeraAboutChronos01 Hera (Hera_0037): Remember, girl, this world is ours by right. The Fates themselves decided it! Now Chronos seeks to overthrow our reign? He already had his opportunity to rule. There is no going back to how things were. HeraAboutChronos02 Hera (Hera_0038): The Titan Chronos is no father of mine. But your father sprang from him, as did my husband, and Poseidon as well. So, now we're all tied up in this little family affair! HeraAboutChronos03 Hera (Hera_0039): Would that I could put another arrow in between the eyes of Chronos again myself, but alas, you're closer and I'm stuck. Kill him for me, would you? HeraAboutChronos04 Hera (Hera_0044): This matter with Chronos, it may seem unconscionable that a parent could resent their own children. But let me tell you, girl, there are moments when I {#Emph}almost {#Prev}sympathize. HeraAboutChronos05 Hera (Hera_0066): I always knew Chronos would return. Zeus kept saying I was fearful over nothing! We buried the old wretch in the depths of Tartarus, after all. But he's a deathless Titan. {#Emph}Time{#Prev}, it seems, slipped through our fingers... HeraAboutCompliments01 Hera (Hera_0275): Do find a mate who pays you proper compliments, girl! My Lord Husband, why, he calls me {#Emph}ox-eyed Lady Hera {#Prev}now and then! Says I've the big, beautiful eyes of a large {#Emph}bovine{#Prev}, ever the romantic that he is! HeraAboutDemeter01 Hera (Hera_0135): Cold vengeance... I can feel it from afar. I suppose my sister Demeter has more at stake in this than anybody on this mountaintop. Our enemies shall rue having crossed her. HeraAboutDevotionTest01 Hera (Hera_0082): The other night, given the opportunity, you sided with my kin, forgoing my Boon when I first generously offered it. Whilst that little scuffle is behind us, I do {#Emph}not {#Prev}appreciate any such slights. I trust I've made myself quite clear? HeraAboutEris01 Hera (Hera_0089): No surprise that Strife Incarnate recently decided to show up, as she is wont to do. Eris made good sport of us before! Must think we're fools and easy prey. You'll correct her, yes? HeraAboutEternity01 Hera (Hera_0057): One thing I've learned, my dear, is that {#Emph}forever {#Prev}is a very long time. It seems to me that nothing {#Emph}truly {#Prev}lasts forever anymore. Perhaps that is why we find ourselves in this particular predicament. HeraAboutFamily01 Hera (Hera_0084): This is hardly the first time I've been pressed to intervene on {#Emph}your {#Prev}side of the family's behalf. I've stood my ground! We cannot keep getting involved in each other's affairs. Yet, if you've come to our defense, you're owed an exception... HeraAboutFamily02 Hera (Hera_0290): You've seen how we don't always get along, but once you've lived with this lot long enough, you'll be right there with us. Tolerance becomes a practiced skill! But we do love each other, by and large... HeraAboutFates01 Hera (Hera_0091): The Fates are gone, then, yes? According to Hermes? Quite the unfortunate turn of events if true. Well, if Chronos is bent on vengeance, it only makes sense that he would take it out on {#Emph}them{#Prev}, not just on {#Emph}us. HeraAboutFates02 Hera (Hera_0238): I'm to believe that Chronos {#Emph}truly doesn't {#Prev}know where he left the Three Fates? The {#Emph}weavers of destiny {#Prev}themselves, misplaced and forgotten like some {#Emph}trinkets! {#Prev}They're probably {#Emph}enjoying {#Prev}being rid of all of us. HeraAboutFields01 Hera (Hera_0090): You've seen the Mourning Fields within your Underworld, yes? A solid portion of the residents there are due to failed marriages... most typically their own. I bless each matrimony that I can, but it can only do so much. HeraAboutHades01 Hera (Hera_0035): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, your poor father. You must have been the jewel in his eye, only to have been ripped away! He would have been so very proud. Well, perhaps not {#Emph}proud{#Prev}, as such. He was never big on taking pride in anything, now that I think on it. {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}proud of you, at least! HeraAboutHecate01 Hera (Hera_0049): The Witch of the Crossroads evidently raised you well! The younger generation here, they lack in character, and their manners oft leave {#Emph}much {#Prev}to be desired. Almost as though {#Emph}my {#Prev}generation did not set the best example! HeraAboutHephaestus01 Hera (Hera_0137): {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, at least Hephaestus is {#Emph}attempting {#Prev}to be of use! You'll have to excuse my sheltered son, girl. He'd much prefer to clang ceaselessly upon his forge than to be a part of polite society. HeraAboutHephaestus02 Hera (Hera_0287): My soft-spoken son Hephaestus thinks I can be rather {#Emph}too unkind. {#Prev}Perhaps he's right! What, you think my mother showered {#Emph}me {#Prev}with love? Neither {#Emph}you {#Prev}yours. This is a harsh world, girl. No one asks to be born into it. HeraAboutHeracles01 Hera (Hera_0047): Word reached me you've encountered mighty Heracles! Big, thick-headed fellow? You're not to aid him in his labors, do you understand? He's in the middle of what we Olympians like to call a {#Emph}journey of self-discovery. HeraAboutHeracles02 Hera (Hera_0048): That Heracles is Zeus' lad, you know. {#Emph}Glory of Hera! {#Prev}I should be honored. He's just another mouth for me to feed, and one with quite an appetite, at that. But, I'll keep him busy, sure! We need all the help we can get. HeraAboutHeracles03 Hera (Hera_0246): You'd tell us if Heracles wasn't living up to expectations, yes? Confidentially, we're thinking once things finally settle down, we may invite him to join us on a more-permanent basis. He's labored enough, and we could use the muscle. HeraAboutHermes01 Hera (Hera_0136): Where is that {#Emph}Hermes {#Prev}when you need him, have you seen him lately, girl? Always {#Emph}flitting {#Prev}about, impossible to pin down. {#Emph}Eugh. {#Prev}What news could there be to deliver at a time like {#Emph}this? HeraAboutHestia01 Hera (Hera_0064): I'm pleased to see that you're agreeable with Hestia, my dear. Her temper and my own don't often mesh, but I respect her wisdom, and her power to simply burn everything down if and when necessary. HeraAboutHope01 Hera (Hera_0236): You always were one of the best hopes that we had in this, my dear. But frankly, I had little faith we would prevail, {#Emph}with {#Prev}you or without. So for this once, I'm pleased to have been wrong, and shall not soon forget all that you've done. HeraAboutHyperion01 Hera (Hera_0040): My sisters Demeter and Hestia and I, our father was the Titan called Hyperion. {#Emph}Father {#Prev}by technicality at least. You don't hear much about {#Emph}him {#Prev}anymore! We should have dealt with Chronos just the same back when we had the chance. HeraAboutKeepsake01 Hera (Hera_0247): Why, if it isn't my Iridescent Fan, illuminated even in the night! The easier with which to spot you wheresoever you may be. Should you require my immediate assistance, merely wave it about a bit. HeraAboutLastResort01 Hera (Hera_0250): That last resort, which we would have used against Typhon, had you not found more of a targeted solution... merely something Hephaestus has been working on, halfheartedly. Would have cost my son his favored forge, and {#Emph}more! HeraAboutMarriage01 Hera (Hera_0045): I realize this may seem odd coming from me, my dear, but from one goddess to another: Do not rush into marriage! As much as it may seem a wondrous idea. Consider my example; and I'm the blasted goddess of marriage, herself! HeraAboutMeeting01 Hera (Hera_0079): {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}There you are {#Emph}again{#Prev}, my dear! Pity to have only met in circumstances such as these. Yet families all go through their ups and downs, yes? Let me help you help us all. HeraAboutMission01 Hera (Hera_0078): To level with you, girl, I don't know that you've got what it takes to thwart the Titan. But, what choice do we have at this point? I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. HeraAboutMortals01 Hera (Hera_0065): We had an obligation to your father here. Each mortal death adds to the population of the Underworld, after all! I tried to do my blasted part to curb the flow a bit. Have you any idea how onerous it is for mortals to give birth? HeraAboutMortals02 Hera (Hera_0165): If ever you wondered whence came all the {#Emph}wretches {#Prev}in your Underworld, there are such mortals who see it as {#Emph}our {#Prev}responsibility to protect {#Emph}them! {#Prev}Can you believe it? HeraAboutMortals03 Hera (Hera_0092): I hardly blame them but {#Emph}some {#Prev}mortals have grown skeptical about our governance. They have this newfangled idea of {#Emph}luck... {#Prev}strokes of fortune from thin air! Sheer {#Emph}mindless {#Prev}happenstance, not the work of gods or the Three Fates. HeraAboutMortals04 Hera (Hera_0241): Oh, mortalkind must take us for a pack of bickering fools, though they'd never admit it. We shall have to save face with them somehow. I'll ask that Demeter ensure more times of plenty are to come, and such. HeraAboutOceanus01 Hera (Hera_0074): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, I can barely reach you as it is within that murk, and you seem even farther away now. The very outskirts of your father's realm, is it? That's... not the customary path into the Underworld.... HeraAboutOlympus01 Hera (Hera_0234): Traveling this way {#Emph}again{#Prev}, are you, my dear? Doubtless to put the nonsensical theories of your Titan grandfather to the test! If you detect even a whiff of lies, do tell. Even if we're to be merciful, we still mustn't be fools. HeraAboutOlympus02 Hera (Hera_0245): You've seen the state our poor mountain is in. The embarrassing inventions of Hephaestus run as rampant as our enemies! Some of us remain cooped up in the Palace of Zeus away from it all. Quite lovely here at least! HeraAboutPackageBounty01 Hera (Hera_0096): Something about this night feels very odd; and in my experience, such premonitions are {#Emph}never {#Prev}to be ignored. Perhaps the strange forces at work are merely due to your invocations! Just... do be careful, girl. HeraAboutPalace01 Hera (Hera_0229): Pleased to have finally met in a more-proper way, my dear! You bought this mountain of ours a bit of extra time, so we are bolstering our defenses as best we can... thus I'm beseeching you to hurry back! HeraAboutPalace02 Hera (Hera_0235): {#Emph}Tsk{#Prev}, you never even got to see the Palace proper, my dear. It's not presentable anyhow. Perhaps by the time your father's House is back in order, ours shall be as well! I quite insist you visit at that point. HeraAboutPolymorph01 Hera (Hera_0184): You know the Twilight Curse, oh I can tell. The power to change a form into another! A favorite of mine, and one small step removed from shapeshifting oneself. The possibilities are limitless, really. HeraAboutPolyphemus01 Hera (Hera_0075): Confronted Polyphemus, have you, then? That is the sort of {#Emph}help {#Prev}Chronos employs. A hollow fool! But strong, admittedly. No sneaking past {#Emph}him{#Prev}, I'm afraid. We've tried.... HeraAboutPoseidon01 Hera (Hera_0061): Had I but known that stout Poseidon went out of his way for you earlier, I would have got here even sooner. The sea is unreliable, whilst my bond is forever. Figuratively, at least! HeraAboutPrometheus01 Hera (Hera_0163): First Chronos and now Prometheus are back to haunt us, all because we failed to get rid of them back when we had a chance. Who next, I wonder? You witches really need to come up with a means to dispense with immortals for good. HeraAboutPrometheus02 Hera (Hera_0273): My Lord Husband and Prometheus are not on, shall we say, the best of terms. And that Titan has made clear what he thinks of us goddesses and gods. Yet, now we're tolerating him, to clean the mess he helped create? Absurd... HeraAboutRelationships01 Hera (Hera_0085): Aphrodite has quite gleefully informed me that {#Emph}you {#Prev}and certain friends of yours have grown quite close. Well if one thing leads to another and you decide to make a serious commitment, I should be {#Emph}only {#Prev}too pleased to oblige! HeraAboutRelationships02 Hera (Hera_0249): A fine girl such as yourself must have suitors! Just don't be quick to wed if you can help it, yes? Mortals like to tie themselves down for the remainders of their lives but often barely manage it. And {#Emph}their {#Prev}lifetimes are nothing! HeraAboutReputation01 Hera (Hera_0162): We might not care for it but there's a certain power to being underestimated constantly. Right, girl? Let them think what they want; my blessings aren't merely for couples about to tie the knot. HeraAboutRouteChoice01 Hera (Hera_0095): My husband Zeus and I have {#Emph}spirited {#Prev}debates regarding how you may ensure our victory. He is too proud to seek your help here on our mountaintop, whilst I would welcome it with open arms, so... come along! HeraAboutSayingLittle01 Hera (Hera_0251): Well, this {#Emph}has {#Prev}been a real journey, hasn't it, my dear? I may be briefer with you hence, as other matters increasingly demand my attention. Though, you'll have my blessings for as long as you require. HeraAboutSelene01 Hera (Hera_0058): You know, I saw a flicker in the sky before, as though the moonlight shifted for a moment. But now it's like that light is shining from {#Emph}you. {#Prev}You drew Selene down! She would not answer such a call from most. HeraAboutShrine01 Hera (Hera_0278): This night has left me feeling ill-at-ease, for many of our enemies are growing rather bold. Mortals experience fear when their lives are at risk, but this cannot be {#Emph}that! HeraAboutShrine02 Hera (Hera_0279): That fearsome feeling in the air, so then it {#Emph}is {#Prev}your doing, isn't it, girl? I fail to see how riling up our enemies shall do us {#Emph}any {#Prev}good. Now you go deal with them at once! HeraAboutSurface01 Hera (Hera_0067): Welcome, my dear, to our world's surface! First time? It's a vast place! All sorts of different climates, mortal cultures, and the like. So don't let your first impression shake your faith; it isn't always such a disaster! HeraAboutSurface02 Hera (Hera_0068): Mortals complained their city of Ephyra was forsaken by the gods, yet here we are! Ungrateful wretches. Not had many weddings of late. Not many funerals either... though, lots of death, destruction, and the like! HeraAboutSurface03 Hera (Hera_0052): There are many potent reagents growing on the surface here, if you know where to look! Mere roots and flowers to the untrained eye, but in your hands, or better, in your cauldron? They'll have you working magick like never before. HeraAboutSurfaceSurvival01 Hera (Hera_0083): They said you weren't cut out for being aboveground! Some Underworld curse holding you back... I'd not believed the hearsay for a moment, and sure enough. Perhaps they merely fear your potential. HeraAboutSurfaceThreat01 Hera (Hera_0164): There was a recent rumbling about Olympus, which caused us some concern. A {#Emph}real {#Prev}rumbling, I mean! Even Poseidon was surprised at all the shaking. What, does Chronos mean to topple the entire mountain? HeraAboutSwitchToUnderworld01 Hera (Hera_0292): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, good girl, to have turned your attention to the Underworld at last! It's so humiliating all that's happened to us here. Least we can do is clean up after ourselves. HeraAboutThessaly01 Hera (Hera_0244): Such a dreadful fleet that sails our way... when last I witnessed one of such magnitude, the ships were sailing in my honor, rather than against my home. HeraAboutTyphon01 Hera (Hera_0168): It's blasted Typhon, girl! The worst monstrosity you can imagine. Chronos up and decided to wake him from his deathly slumber, and pointed him towards {#Emph}us! {#Prev}So what if we cannot die? Things can still be very bad for us... HeraAboutTyphonDeath01 Hera (Hera_0231): You truly rid us of that {#Emph}blasted {#Prev}Typhon. Never have we faced such an overwhelming threat, and {#Emph}all {#Prev}we could do was keep him at bay! Now we have the upper hand again because of {#Emph}you{#Prev}, my dear. HeraAboutTyphonDeath02 Hera (Hera_0291): Such power you possess, my dear... whatever it is you did to Typhon, that's a secret to be guarded well. We could keep it for you! Our vaults have never {#Emph}once {#Prev}been breached. Think on it, yes? HeraAboutTyphonW01 Hera (Hera_0230): Old Typhon suffered a bit of a spill last night but already is beginning to stir, Hermes reports. His target clearly is our summit... if only he were as easy to thwart as to predict. HeraAboutUnderworld01 Hera (Hera_0233): Headed down to check on your mother and father, my dear? The House of Hades probably could use your touch. If only my {#Emph}own {#Prev}children would be so considerate. Though, I suppose they are still aiding you... HeraAboutWitchcraft01 Hera (Hera_0050): I know something of witchcraft myself, girl. A subtle art, and therein lies its strength. Easy to disbelieve, or to dismiss as mere coincidence. But true power need not assert itself. HeraAboutZeus01 Hera (Hera_0059): {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}I see that my distinguished husband has already been in touch. Well, just in case he doesn't make the sparks fly in {#Emph}quite {#Prev}the manner you expect, I have something for you of my own. HeraAboutZeus02 Hera (Hera_0060): Again, Lord Zeus has reached you first, has he? {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}The noble Son of Chronos and his lightning speed! You can't imagine just how quickly he flees from {#Emph}me{#Prev}, sometimes. HeraAboutZeusMarriage01 Hera (Hera_0041): For all his foibles, my husband makes a dangerous adversary. Why else do you think we've ruled for however many aeons it's been? Zeus doubtless has his enemies, but few are brave or misguided enough to let on. HeraAboutZeusMarriage02 Hera (Hera_0042): Lord Zeus and I, we've known each other for a time. A regular old married couple we are! And yet such awful things are often said of us. I try to brush it off! No couple is beyond reproach; certainly, not one that's survived as long as we. HeraBlindBox01 Hera (Hera_0088): We're not taking any chances, girl. For instance, we are {#Emph}not {#Prev}above having our blessings transported like common parcels, if in so doing, we ensure your victory and ours. HeraBlindBox02 Hera (Hera_0253): Admit it, girl! You would have taken any sort of blessing here and now, whether from {#Emph}me {#Prev}or any of my kin. Well as the Fates would have it, you're getting the very best. HeraChat01 Hera (Hera_0004): A blessing for {#Emph}you{#Prev}, and a curse for our enemies, my dear. HeraChat02 Hera (Hera_0015): How odd that this conflict tearing us apart is bringing us closer together, {#Emph}hm? HeraChat03 Hera (Hera_0009): Chronos is an old fool whose time has long since passed. HeraChat04 Hera (Hera_0005): Surely one amongst my blessings ought to suit you well? HeraChat05 Hera (Hera_0006): Show no weakness, show no mercy, girl. HeraChat06 Hera (Hera_0007): Just look at us, girl! Our family's a mess, but we're making it work. HeraChat07 Hera (Hera_0008): Hera's here for you, girl; and soon, all your enemies shall wish that they were never born. HeraChat08 Hera (Hera_0010): Your Great Aunt's back, my dear, so let's have ourselves an interesting night. HeraChat09 Hera (Hera_0011): Nothing like jointly annihilating our enemies to bring the family closer together, {#Emph}hm? HeraChat10 Hera (Hera_0012): Surprise, surprise, you're once again where I expected you to be. HeraChat11 Hera (Hera_0013): All right, girl, let's just have a look at you and see what we can do. HeraChat12 Hera (Hera_0014): Perhaps our family deserves all this, though we'll keep fighting back against it nonetheless. HeraChat13 Hera (Hera_0016): To think all we needed was a perilous existential threat to unite this family, for once! HeraChat14 Hera (Hera_0017): Chin up, girl! Things could probably end up much worse than they are now. HeraChat15 Hera (Hera_0018): Our family may be cursed by the Fates themselves, but we do know how to fight. HeraChat16 Hera (Hera_0019): We've so many enemies, I cannot curse them all! Though I {#Emph}can {#Prev}bless {#Emph}you. HeraChat17 Hera (Hera_0020): Care for a little power over life itself? Or death. I've got that, too. HeraChat18 Hera (Hera_0021): I confess I'm beginning to enjoy these little outings that we share. HeraChat19 Hera (Hera_0022): Raised in the Underworld, yet you've more poise and grace than the lot of them up here. HeraChat20 Hera (Hera_0023): More and more it seems you're just about the only one I can depend on lately, girl. HeraChat21 Hera (Hera_0024): I'm in a bit of a foul mood right now, so quickly choose, and go. HeraChat22 Hera (Hera_0025): This little tradition of ours has become something I look forward to, dear girl. HeraChat23 Hera (Hera_0026): The Fates denied me any daughters, but at least they brought me you, my dear. HeraChat24 Hera (Hera_0027): Life has its wretched spans every so often, so the better times stand out. HeraChat25 Hera (Hera_0028): We on Olympus take our vengeance very personally, girl. HeraChat26 Hera (Hera_0029): Would that some others that I knew had even but a shred of your commitment. HeraChat27 Hera (Hera_0030): It simply is our lot to have to shoulder more than our fair share of any burden, girl. HeraChat28 Hera (Hera_0031): You've no idea how long it's been since I've depended upon anybody of our line. HeraChat29 Hera (Hera_0032): Our enemy has scorned us and we'll make him rue the very day, won't we? HeraChat30 Hera (Hera_0033): I've enough power vested in me that I'm pleased to spare you some of it for now. HeraChat31 Hera (Hera_0034): You have more royal bearing than I would have thought... Heracles.AIStages.StageTransitionVoiceLines Heracles (Heracles_0644): I have had {#Emph}enough! Heracles (Heracles_0645): {#Emph}This {#Prev}is a proper fight!

Heracles (Heracles_0658): All right, witch, now we {#Emph}fight! Heracles (Heracles_0659): Curse you {#Emph}and {#Prev}your magick, witch! Heracles (Heracles_0648): You think you can take {#Emph}us?!

Prometheus (Prometheus_0385): We're all that's left. Prometheus (Prometheus_0386): Enough of him. Prometheus (Prometheus_0387): You and me, then. Prometheus (Prometheus_0388): And now for me.

HeraclesFieldAboutAltFight01 Heracles (Heracles_0235): There's no more work here to be done... but it never ends. No hard feelings, by the way, about before. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3763): Oh, none at all. I always wondered what it'd feel like to get struck full-on by the force of your club, and now I don't. Heracles (Heracles_0236): Nor do I like leaving any room for doubt. And if you need a reminder about my club, you know where to locate me. HeraclesFieldAboutAltFightWin01 Heracles (Heracles_0295): You're not what I thought. Kept your mouth shut about me. Even somehow overcame Prometheus after I butted in. Why and how? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3777): I have my reasons and my ways. Why should I be forthcoming about them? You've not exactly been eager to open up. Heracles (Heracles_0296): Thought if I asked {#Emph}nicely{#Prev}, but that doesn't work on me either. Well, suit yourself. Not like I can drag it out of you. Melinoe (Melinoe_0352): {#Emph}Hah. HeraclesFieldAboutBlood01 Heracles (Heracles_0019): Your blood runs red. You're not entirely a goddess. We truly get the best of both worlds. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0238): You were born to a mortal mother, weren't you? My mother's half-mortal. Death itself is in our blood. But you're different... Heracles (Heracles_0020): {#Emph}Different. {#Prev}Neither god, nor mortal, nor Shade. It's as you say; death itself is in my blood. All mortals are born to die. I was born also to kill. HeraclesFieldAboutBoar01 Heracles (Heracles_0271): Friendly word of advice: beware a large and not-entirely-dead boar snuffing about in the Ephyra alleyways. It's come for me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3992): You're being hunted by a boar, not the other way around? Did I hear that correctly? Heracles (Heracles_0272): We... had our troubles in the past while it was more... alive. This is what I get for not finishing the job when I had the chance. HeraclesFieldAboutCharon01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0241): You seem to know the Boatman pretty well. Worked together before? Heracles (Heracles_0184): I've had occasion to visit your realm in the past. The Boatman is my supplier. And evidently yours as well... buying up all the merchandise. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0485): I've not exactly been discreet... HeraclesFieldAboutEphyra01 Heracles (Heracles_0007): You live. By my good graces, granted, but... first I've seen somebody stand against the filth that's overtaken this accursed town. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0231): I aim to cleanse the filth down to the source. He resides deep in the Underworld, though I've business to attend to on Olympus first. Heracles (Heracles_0008): What a coincidence! I just returned from there not long ago. So the gods are putting all the pieces into place.... You watch yourself, sister. HeraclesFieldAboutEpilogue01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4007): The Titan Prometheus seems rather pleased of late. Why do you suppose that is? Heracles (Heracles_0286): How should I know, and why should it matter? Seeing as we don't discuss him here, or anywhere. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4008): Then let's discuss you. Have you gotten what you sought? With the Fates declaring that an age of mortals is to come. Heracles (Heracles_0287): I'm a mere half-god, as you may recall. I never get what I want. But when finally comes a time for change, I'll welcome it. May that next age no longer need for gods or men like me. HeraclesFieldAboutEpilogue02 Heracles (Heracles_0354): Having given it all some further thought, I must admit I undersold what you achieved, sister. Your task was difficult. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4019): It could have been worse. I had the strength of mighty Heracles on my side, at least for the most part. But thank you; that means a lot coming from you. Heracles (Heracles_0355): No need. For now, it seems we get to ply our trade without the pressure to accomplish the impossible. I'll take it. HeraclesFieldAboutFame01 Heracles (Heracles_0284): Everywhere I go, the dead know me; it's irksome. Used to be able to show up to a slaughter without drawing attention. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3997): The consequence of notoriety. The Shades where I'm from all think the world of you! We may or may not even have a wall-scroll depicting your adventures. Heracles (Heracles_0285): They don't know anything about me, only the falsehoods and half-truths. I don't need a cult of mindless followers. HeraclesFieldAboutFamily01 Heracles (Heracles_0253): If you're a daughter of Hades for true, that makes us cousins, doesn't it? Although knowing my father, you must have a lot of those... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3989): I've met quite a few recently among the Olympians themselves. But I grew up mostly in solitude. Heracles (Heracles_0254): Thank the Fates for that. Fewer relatives means fewer obligations... fewer wars to be recruited into through no doing of your own, other than being born... HeraclesFieldAboutFates01 Heracles (Heracles_0352): Word is the Fates themselves are gone. Too bad. I always wanted that job for myself. Not that they can be killed. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3771): You always wanted to kill the Three Fates... for deciding you'd become a great hero of exceeding strength whose achievements would inspire countless others? Heracles (Heracles_0353): Certainly if not for them I wouldn't be here. Well now they know what it's like... getting strung about with no say in the matter. The Fates be damned! Justice is all we need. HeraclesFieldAboutFathers01 Heracles (Heracles_0017): Our fathers sure made a mess of things for us, didn't they, sister. Born to the mightiest of gods, yet living like outcasts... like bloody animals. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0237): It's Chronos that made a mess of things. If he'd have just stayed dead, we'd be at peace. And together with our fathers, no doubt. Heracles (Heracles_0018): Have you {#Emph}met {#Prev}our fathers? Sure, we're in the midst of an interminable war, but at least we're far away from {#Emph}them. HeraclesFieldAboutHera01 Heracles (Heracles_0013): ...You have her blessing, then. Just like that, she gave you her strength. Her approval... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0235): You mean Hera? Of course she did; we're all on the same side. More than that, we're family. Heracles (Heracles_0014): {#Emph}Family. {#Prev}It figures that her grace the Queen presides over the entire concept. Marriage, birthing, and the like. Curses, in a charitable form. HeraclesFieldAboutIcarus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4009): In all your travels back and forth from Mount Olympus, have you ever seen a young man with wings soaring over the waters, dropping explosives to disrupt the Titan's fleets? Heracles (Heracles_0261): The son of the artificer Daedalus. Those are not real wings, and he's a Shade now. He and his father both. What of him? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4010): Well, it's just that... he's quite an admirer of yours, apparently. He'd give anything to meet you at some point. I thought perhaps I could facilitate an introduction. Heracles (Heracles_0262): Not interested in admirers. Especially ones whose drowned corpses I had to bury. He's better off with the idea of me. HeraclesFieldAboutIcarus02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4011): Icarus, the son of Daedalus we spoke of, he was very moved to learn you may have helped administer his final rites. He said to tell you cheers... I think he'd want to say much more. Heracles (Heracles_0263): {#Emph}Urgh. {#Prev}Would you just leave me be with all his sentiment. HeraclesFieldAboutKeepsake01 Heracles (Heracles_0255): Well, if it isn't my old Lion Fang. I had multiples to spare, and you looked like you could use some of its savagery yourself. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3990): Its strength is useful certainly, though why give it away? The stronger I am, the more I can encroach on your glory. Heracles (Heracles_0256): Simple, sister: I don't want it anymore. Neither the Fang nor the glory. Take my work for all I care; there's always more. HeraclesFieldAboutMagick01 Heracles (Heracles_0326): Those magick tricks... you're borrowing that power. How can you trust it when strength belongs to you alone? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3998): Magick and raw strength are not in opposition; both ultimately come from within, they're just trained differently. Heracles (Heracles_0327): I don't think so, sister. You're drawing from the moon, and the earth, and... who knows what else. But in this world, you can't rely on anybody but yourself. HeraclesFieldAboutMedea01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3993): You ever see Lady Medea around here? Long dark hair and attire. She could probably help thin the crowd. No denying we're outnumbered. Heracles (Heracles_0275): Already owe her for a time I wasn't... at my best. Won't be asking further favors from a witch. You take more than you give. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3994): What did witches ever do to you? It sounds as though she helped you out, yet you still speak of her with such disdain. Heracles (Heracles_0276): I know what you're capable of. I respect the power of an erupting volcano, doesn't mean I want to be near one. HeraclesFieldAboutOlympus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0233): Olympus is fortunate to have your strength and service, Son of Zeus. Heracles (Heracles_0011): I serve the gods all right. Served them a long time, one tall order after another. They've brought me fame, glory... {#Emph}everything. {#Prev}They never get enough of me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0234): But {#Emph}you've {#Prev}had enough of {#Emph}them. {#Prev}Then... what are you doing here? Heracles (Heracles_0012): Oh, my work history can demonstrate I never get enough of {#Emph}them{#Prev}, either. I take a job, I do it. HeraclesFieldAboutOlympus02 Heracles (Heracles_0241): Welcome to your ancestral mountain, sister. Everything you dreamed of? I once yearned to be here, too. I got over it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3767): Yet you're still defending this place. You speak as though you've lost your purpose, but I've seen you fight. Heracles (Heracles_0242): {#Emph}Purpose. {#Prev}The gods asked the world of me before I could join them here, only to have to defend their honor some more. You'll find your {#Emph}own {#Prev}purpose, soon enough. HeraclesFieldAboutPolyphemus01 Heracles (Heracles_0015): You made it out before. Cyclops must have caught your scent, though. He's strong, that one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0236): That's a ringing endorsement. Though {#Emph}you {#Prev}must be stronger still! Ever considered putting him to the test? Could save me a lot of trouble. Heracles (Heracles_0016): He's not my type. Besides, he's a spawn of the gods, just like you and me. Wouldn't be proper if we were all fighting all the time, now would it? HeraclesFieldAboutPrometheus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3768): Have you had any run-ins with the Titan Prometheus while on Olympus recently? He seems to be the one leading the assault forces besieging your family's home. Heracles (Heracles_0257): Is he now? That's rich. Wasn't he supposed to be tied up on some mountain someplace else, getting picked apart? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3769): How do you not know he's free? You should be hunting {#Emph}him{#Prev}, not this fodder. Who's setting your objectives? Heracles (Heracles_0258): My orders come directly from the King and Queen. If you've any concerns with how I'm carrying out my work, just go complain to them. HeraclesFieldAboutReturning01 Heracles (Heracles_0237): Last we had a skirmish such as this, after the dust settled, you were nowhere to be found. Fled, like a thief in the night. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3764): I had to make an early exit. Figured you would have no trouble resolving the matter, seeing as you work alone. Heracles (Heracles_0238): That I do. But I don't like combatants disappearing on me. Stay where I can see you, or stay out of the way. HeraclesFieldAboutSayingLittle01 Heracles (Heracles_0330): You talk too much, you know that, witch? Dispense with the pleasantries, and we could be killing even more. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4018): I'm not certain which pleasantries you mean, but if you'd like to speak even less, that's certainly your prerogative. Heracles (Heracles_0331): Speaking never was my specialty. And as you may have surmised, I'm more the sort to focus on my strengths. HeraclesFieldAboutThessaly01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3765): Sir, what are you doing in the middle of the Rift of Thessaly. How did you even get here? Although, you must be a powerful swimmer. Heracles (Heracles_0239): I'm proficient in a wide variety of athletics, since you mention it. Swimming, leaping, striking things with clubs. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3766): So this is part of your patrol path? To think my journey could have been even more infested with foes if not for you. Heracles (Heracles_0240): Much would be different if not for me. Though you're one of the few I've met of late to admit it. Fair voyaging, sister. HeraclesFieldAboutTimePassing01 Heracles (Heracles_0282): I'd given you no thought at all while you were gone. Otherwise I would have figured you had given up. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3995): I don't know what I'm supposed to say to that except I hadn't given you much thought lately either. Is there anyone you {#Emph}do {#Prev}regularly think about? Heracles (Heracles_0283): I think mainly of the bodies I have crushed beneath my club and feet. You're welcome to join them, at any point. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3996): No thank you, that's all right. HeraclesFieldAboutTrueEnding01 Heracles (Heracles_0278): They said the war was finally drawing to a close. Somebody must have forgotten to notify those we slaughtered. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4005): We need them here for the time being anyhow. Has Olympus informed you of the nature of the next phase of our plan? Heracles (Heracles_0279): I got the gist: We fight on. Nothing changes. Never has before, so... why would it now? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4006): What are you talking about? A lot's changed! Olympus is no longer in danger. The House of Hades is restored. Heracles (Heracles_0280): The way it always was. HeraclesFieldAboutTrueEnding02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4022): What will you do when all of this is over, sir? Or rather, what would you desire to do? Heracles (Heracles_0636): ...Why ask? I tend not to give desire too much thought, beyond any immediate and bestial cravings I may have. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4023): I would appreciate any perspective, that's all. All my life I had an obligation to my family to fulfill. I'm not certain what to do with myself now that I have... Heracles (Heracles_0637): I am the last individual whose perspective you should heed, sister. Chase your dreams if you still have any. Now scoot. HeraclesFieldAboutTyphon01 Heracles (Heracles_0259): You make it to the mountaintop as yet? In case you haven't, nothing good awaits you there. Or so I hear. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3770): What, you mean Typhon? I'm surprised the Olympians don't have you helping out with {#Emph}him{#Prev}, instead of bashing a bunch of weaklings far from where the real danger is. Heracles (Heracles_0260): The Olympians won't abide some half-god stealing their glory. I get the drudgery, not the important work. Thank the Fates that {#Emph}you {#Prev}get some of each. HeraclesFieldAboutTyphon02 Heracles (Heracles_0634): What is it like... being up against that monster at the summit. I've not faced something of that size. Not yet at least. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4021): I've not faced anything of Typhon's size either. His enormity is to his disadvantage in some ways, but facing {#Emph}him{#Prev}, a torrential storm, and his broodlings all at once can be a lot. Heracles (Heracles_0635): To think the multi-headed Hydra I once slew was merely one of his offspring. But there shall be worse monsters to fight in ages hence... HeraclesFieldAboutWeapons01 Heracles (Heracles_0243): You've more aptitude for weaponry than one might expect. I once sought to master every armament under the sun, but in the end... I settled for the simple club. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3985): I am bearer of the Arms of Night in all their various Aspects; I'd never settle for just one. Do you not fear you've grown complacent? Heracles (Heracles_0244): No. Tread this path long enough, you'll find that any weapon can do the job. At that point, there's no real choice. Though I still carry all these other arms just to put on a show. HeraclesFieldAboutWitches01 Heracles (Heracles_0009): I know what you are. You bloody witches. One foreign word... one finger-wagging gesture directed at me... and I'll squeeze you till you pop. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0232): That won't be necessary... though I would know how came you to feel this way about us {#Emph}bloody witches? {#Prev}How many have you met? Heracles (Heracles_0010): Two questions too many. The more you know, the more you can manipulate. Now, off with you. HeraclesFightMiscStart01 Heracles (Heracles_0640): One night after another you just keep turning up, sister. Are you enjoying this? HeraclesFightMiscStart02 Heracles (Heracles_0690): You got here rather quick tonight, didn't you, witch. Some dark gods aiding your ascent? HeraclesFightMiscStart03 Heracles (Heracles_0691): Already made it all this way. Some strangeness is afoot... but I care not for that right now. HeraclesFightMiscStart04 Heracles (Heracles_0349): Whether we fight together or against each other matters not; only the fight itself. HeraclesFightMiscStart05 Heracles (Heracles_0642): Should be more than enough carnage for the both of us here any moment now. HeraclesFightMiscStart06 Heracles (Heracles_0402): Go home, witch. You're no match for my club. HeraclesFightMiscStart07 Heracles (Heracles_0342): Not too cold for you up here, sister? Or does battle warm you over as it does me? HeraclesFightMiscStart08 Heracles (Heracles_0340): Notice it's harder to breathe up here, sister? Almost like this mountain's cursed. HeraclesFightMiscStart09 Heracles (Heracles_0031): Keep letting Olympus toss you around, and someday you'll be just like me. HeraclesFightMiscStart10 Heracles (Heracles_0024): You're either good or ill fortune, not yet made up my mind. HeraclesFirstMeeting Heracles (Heracles_0002): You're the help? Oh, that's rich. Friendly word of advice, {#Emph}sister: {#Prev}Stay out of my bloody way, else you're liable to get hurt. Now scoot, and tell whomever sent you that I work alone. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0228): Your threat is duly noted, Son of Zeus. I'm headed for the docks, but understand this city's sealed shut. Heracles (Heracles_0003): Then you understand you ought turn back. This town is {#Emph}dead{#Prev}, and doesn't let the living pass. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0229): I'm Daughter of Hades; the dead shall answer to me. They may just need a little encouragement. Heracles (Heracles_0004): Try all you like. But remember you were warned. HeraclesGift01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0239): Great Son of Zeus, I offer you this gift of Nectar, that it may quench your thirst as you labor for the gods. They must be grateful for your might. Heracles (Heracles_0021): {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}Saves me having to find another bottle for when next I have to prove my fealty. Here, something for your trouble. HeraclesGift02 Heracles (Heracles_0022): Sure you don't want to give me only half the bottle there? Seeing as I'm merely half a god... I got their strength but seldom get their luxury. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0240): Nothing's gained from luxury in excess, anyway. But there are times a little doesn't hurt! May this soothe your spirit when the occasion arises. HeraclesGift03 Heracles (Heracles_0288): You truly take me for a fool, believing I would drink from {#Emph}this? {#Prev}You could have ensorcelled the contents in any number of ways, to drive me to madness, or worse... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3772): I swear to you upon my father's name that I've done no such thing. And it would have obviously spoiled if I had. Do you want to see me drink it first? Heracles (Heracles_0289): No. I can dispose of it myself. HeraclesGift04 Heracles (Heracles_0290): My favor, in exchange for {#Emph}drink? {#Prev}No. You waste your resources and time; {#Emph}my {#Prev}time as well. You'll get a share of spoils if you earn your kills, but nothing more. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3773): I understand. Nevertheless, we're both working for the same family, and I have seen firsthand the efforts you're taking to drive back their enemies. And I'm grateful. Heracles (Heracles_0170): {#Emph} HeraclesGift05 Heracles (Heracles_0291): They never give this stuff to me themselves, the mountain gods. Developed a distaste for it as a result, especially after a certain... contest with the god of wine. But that was long ago. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3774): You tried to out-drink Lord Dionysus? Even with all your fortitude, that sounds like a very dangerous undertaking from what I understand. Heracles (Heracles_0292): It was. HeraclesGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3775): You say the gods never shared Nectar with you; well, I'm sharing some now. Perhaps you can regain a taste for it. Heracles (Heracles_0293): No more of this, witch. I told you I don't care for it, and presently I have no plans to go make any offerings myself. My tolerance for {#Emph}you {#Prev}likewise nears its limit. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3776): Your tolerance is enough, sir. I see how hard you work, expecting nothing in return. For all you've given to Olympus, may you never give your soul. Heracles (Heracles_0294): ...That would require me to have one still. HeraclesGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3778): You said I wasn't what you thought; neither are you what I expected, sir. I'd heard tales of your exploits, and truly never seen so fierce a fighter. But I know there's more to you. Here, then! For one of your divinity, a divine gift. Heracles (Heracles_0297): Ambrosia... you would take me for another god. I am half-man; such stuff is not for me, and you sully its purpose merely in the offering. What do you want from me? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3779): I want you to accept that there are gods and goddesses who hold you in esteem. If falling short of perfection means falling short of godhood, then none of us are divine. Heracles (Heracles_0298): ...Now you're on to something, sister. Well, if and when the rest of the family gets around to accepting your terms, let's all share this bottle. I'll just hang onto it for now. Melinoe (Melinoe_0055): Until then. HeraclesLeap.AIData.PreAttackVoiceLines Heracles (Heracles_0196): Die! Heracles (Heracles_0197): Fall! Heracles (Heracles_0198): You! Heracles (Heracles_0199): You! Heracles (Heracles_0200): Now! Heracles (Heracles_0201): {#Emph}Hrah! Heracles (Heracles_0202): Here! Heracles (Heracles_0203): Your turn! Heracles (Heracles_0204): Your turn! Heracles (Heracles_0205): Prepare! HeraclesMiscChat01 Heracles (Heracles_0033): If you're starved for conversation, you'll have better fortune with the Boatman there. HeraclesMiscChat04 Heracles (Heracles_0036): You never saw me, I never saw you. Scoot. HeraclesMiscChat05 Heracles (Heracles_0037): Save it for somebody who cares, sister. HeraclesMiscChat06 Heracles (Heracles_0038): Whatever you're about to say to me, don't. HeraclesMiscChat07 Heracles (Heracles_0039): I look like I want to have ourselves a chat? HeraclesMiscChat08 Heracles (Heracles_0358): {#Emph}Urgh. {#Prev}You just made me lose count of all my blasted coin. HeraclesMiscStart01 Heracles (Heracles_0023): I'm working here, sister. Care to pitch in, fine, but don't get underfoot. HeraclesMiscStart03 Heracles (Heracles_0025): Much as I'd love to have ourselves a {#Emph}chat{#Prev}, I'm on the job. And better get to work. HeraclesMiscStart04 Heracles (Heracles_0026): You look like you've a taste for blood. Come get your fill for now. HeraclesMiscStart05 Heracles (Heracles_0027): Well don't just stand there, sister; we've a war here to perpetuate. HeraclesMiscStart06 Heracles (Heracles_0028): Enjoy the silence, sister. We'll have company here any moment now. HeraclesMiscStart07 Heracles (Heracles_0029): Need a break from all the slaughter, just stand back. {#Emph}Far {#Prev}back. HeraclesMiscStart08 Heracles (Heracles_0030): The gods must want for us to give another glorious performance, huh. HeraclesMiscStart10 Heracles (Heracles_0032): Why am I even talking to you, sister? You save your breath, I'll save mine. HeraclesMiscStart11 Heracles (Heracles_0034): We get to know each other, you'll live to regret it. Happens all the time. HeraclesMiscStart12 Heracles (Heracles_0035): You think you know me, sister. But you don't. HeraclesMiscStart13 Heracles (Heracles_0040): Suggest remaining far afield of me at all times, witch. HeraclesMiscStart14 Heracles (Heracles_0041): You blasted gods and goddesses are all alike... HeraclesMiscStart16 Heracles (Heracles_0042): Go about your business, sister. I'm on the job. HeraclesMiscStart17 Heracles (Heracles_0206): This vessel's going back to the bottom of the sea, whether you're here or not. HeraclesMiscStart18 Heracles (Heracles_0207): Rough waters ahead, sister. End up overboard, I won't be diving in to get you out. HeraclesMiscStart19 Heracles (Heracles_0208): Another stowaway aboard. And here I thought I was the only one. HeraclesMiscStart20 Heracles (Heracles_0209): The sea took these ships' crews once before, and it's about to take them back. HeraclesMiscStart21 Heracles (Heracles_0210): This ship's a mess, but let me go ahead and swab the deck, if you'll stand clear. HeraclesMiscStart22 Heracles (Heracles_0211): What a coincidence, I was just heading to the mountain of the gods myself. HeraclesMiscStart23 Heracles (Heracles_0332): I've an urge to smash this ship to splinters, but then we'd be forced to swim. HeraclesMiscStart24 Heracles (Heracles_0333): I claim this ship in the name of the gods, although you're one of them, aren't you? HeraclesMiscStart25 Heracles (Heracles_0334): Not much room here to maneuver, so best stay far afield of my club. HeraclesMiscStart26 Heracles (Heracles_0335): The darkness of these waters brings about a certain peace, doesn't it, sister? HeraclesMiscStart27 Heracles (Heracles_0336): Go someplace else. This blasted mountain's defenses are already spread too thin. HeraclesMiscStart28 Heracles (Heracles_0337): The gods require all the aid they can muster, which is why we're both here. HeraclesMiscStart29 Heracles (Heracles_0338): Oh good. I was beginning to feel lonesome having to shoulder all the work myself... HeraclesMiscStart30 Heracles (Heracles_0339): Suggest you stand clear before you're driven back from this mountain like all the rest. HeraclesMiscStart32 Heracles (Heracles_0341): Everybody wants a piece of Olympus lately, don't they. But it's not for the taking. HeraclesMiscStart34 Heracles (Heracles_0343): Best watch your step in all this ice and snow. Wouldn't want you to slip. HeraclesMiscStart35 Heracles (Heracles_0344): Now what could be more glorious than crushing Satyrs into frozen earth? HeraclesMiscStart36 Heracles (Heracles_0345): I was here first, sister. Go find your own Harpies and such to massacre. HeraclesMiscStart37 Heracles (Heracles_0346): This is just a warm-up for what's to come later this evening, isn't it, sister? HeraclesMiscStart38 Heracles (Heracles_0347): I'll pull my strikes should you happen to get in the way here, but at the summit? No. HeraclesMiscStart39 Heracles (Heracles_0348): Soon you shall face me and the Flame Thief once again, but let's keep up the act for now. HeraclesMiscStart40 Heracles (Heracles_0350): I'm just about to start killing everything that moves, other than you and your pet. HeraclesMiscStart41 Heracles (Heracles_0351): Credit to the most efficient killer here; you do the work, you get the coin. HeraclesMiscStart42 Heracles (Heracles_0638): It's been too long since last we slaughtered everything that moved about this place. HeraclesMiscStart43 Heracles (Heracles_0639): While you've been navigating your father's catacombs, I've had all the glory to myself. HeraclesMiscStart44 Heracles (Heracles_0641): We're making a regular habit of crushing the life from anything that moves. HeraclesMiscStart45 Heracles (Heracles_0643): You're bloodied, so you'd best stand back and leave the taking of the glory all to me. HeraclesPreEncounterAboutAltFight01 Heracles (Heracles_0233): Hold, sister. Remember, not a word about before, or else. We can have ourselves another happy massacre and then be on our way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3762): And then perhaps we'll meet again on my way to the summit, if the conditions are just right. Wouldn't that be nice? Heracles (Heracles_0234): Sure it would. We understand each other, then. Now to the bloodletting at hand. HeraclesPreEncounterAboutTimePassing01 Heracles (Heracles_0281): Look who decided to show her shining face again. You want to earn some extra coin, have I the opportunity for you. HeraclesPreEncounterAboutTrueEnding01 Heracles (Heracles_0277): I heard the tidings of your victory, but knew this wasn't over. Always more to be done. Now, come on. HeraFirstPickUp Melinoe (Melinoe_0170): The family stands united in our cause... {#Emph}In the name of Hades!

Hera (Hera_0080_B): Pleased to make your acquaintance finally, my dear! Welcome to our world's surface, such as it is. I promised the family that once you demonstrated your resolve to us, then I'd take you under my wing... and, I {#Emph}always {#Prev}keep my vows. HeraGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0506): Queen Hera, out of all the matters you could be attending to, you've chosen to aid me. I am honored, and would honor you in kind. Hera (Hera_0069): Is there a wedding date that I should know about or are you merely being generous with me? In any case, when I am offered to, there's always a catch. So, here! HeraGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0507): Great Queen of Olympus! I am humbled to have earned your favor, and will do everything I can to honor you! Hera (Hera_0070): Unbound by wedlock yet you praise me thus? I must say you are full of surprises, my dear. Or potentially just very ignorant. Or both! HeraGift03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1771): This golden Nectar is nothing in comparison to your splendor, Queen Hera; but it's the very best we have where I am from. To your eternal beauty, grace, and wisdom! Hera (Hera_0071): You needn't be a flatterer, you know? I aid you not from love but from necessity. If there's a lesson I can impart, it's that you ought to keep your guard up at all times. HeraGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2241): To the Queen of Olympus! Long may you reign, and may that reign be one of great prosperity and peace, both for your devoted family and subjects, and for you! Hera (Hera_0134): Go on, girl. We each know I'm not really your Queen. You're not even an Olympian, so why don't you drop the act? Or if it's not an act, wise up. This is a complicated world. HeraGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2242): Queen Hera, though these exchanges between us must necessarily be brief, I'm grateful for each moment you can spare. I know your family needs you, and Olympus needs you... and your devotion to each is abundantly clear. Hera (Hera_0166): Well, my dear, if you find no future to be had in your witchcraft, you could always take up theatrics! For I very nearly believed your every word. Honesty is not our family's trade, but! I commend your effort anyhow. HeraGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2243): You may not trust me at my word, O Queen; but with this offering of Nectar you shall find I bear no falsehoods or duplicitous intent. You're not just royalty to me... you're my Great Aunt. And as glorious as I could have imagined. Hera (Hera_0167): You're really serious, aren't you? Look, girl. You don't seem to understand what it's like on this mountain. There is no margin for error here; no room to slip! Although perhaps you've had a taste of that sort of {#Emph}pressure {#Prev}for yourself... HeraGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4166): Thank you for holding our family together through the most trying of times, Queen Hera! And for having faith in me to make a difference. May the sweetness of this Ambrosia start to dull the memory of our bitter struggles. Hera (Hera_0237): That's very kind of you, my dear. But my memory is {#Emph}long {#Prev}and {#Emph}sharp{#Prev}, and I'd not let it dull on purpose or otherwise. Our memories embolden us, and keep us from repeating our mistakes. Thank the Fates I was not mistaken about you. HeraLegendaryPickUp01 Hera (Hera_0053): How about we break ourselves out of this rut, girl, so here! This is the best I've got for you for now. Do make the most of it? HeraLegendaryPickUp02 Hera (Hera_0054): My mood darkens again, my dear, although it makes me rather generous, I think. Here, then! The finest of my blessings. Go on, and tie some knots! HeraLootBought01 Hera (Hera_0086): We've a long-standing partnership with your good boatman there. I bring mortals into being and marry them off after a bit, he takes them yonder to your realm! Or used to, anyway. HeraLootBought02 Hera (Hera_0087): Wealth cannot be measured in mere coin! The very idea is absurd; yet, there you are, paying for goods and services as though Chronos has already prevailed! HeraLootBought03 Hera (Hera_0178): We cannot always reach you in those depths, though your boatman seems to have no trouble at all. Keeps to himself, fends for himself... I quite like him! HeraLootBought04 Hera (Hera_0179): At least this was a shorter delivery for your trusted boatman, compared with having to drag our Boons all the way into the Underworld. Although, he probably prefers it there... HeraLowHealth01 Hera (Hera_0072): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}You're a frightful mess, if you'll forgive my saying, girl! I can't help you when you're practically dead! At least, not very much. HeraLowHealth02 Hera (Hera_0073): What happened to all your lifeblood? That's precious stuff! Yet you've gone spilling it about, then have the {#Emph}nerve {#Prev}to thus present yourself to me. HeraLowHealth03 Hera (Hera_0182): However much you've trained, it evidently was not {#Emph}nearly {#Prev}enough, if you've {#Emph}already {#Prev}taken such a {#Emph}beating {#Prev}before I can even begin to protect you! HeraLowHealth04 Hera (Hera_0183): Not having a good night...? Your injuries will heal eventually, my dear. But, I can't make any promises about your pride. HeraMakeUp01 Hera (Hera_0125): Forgiveness is like a precious healing ointment, to be applied sparingly. HeraMakeUp02 Hera (Hera_0126): Fine! That shall be all, I think. This type of squabble is beneath us both. HeraMakeUp03 Hera (Hera_0127): You wish to test me, I shall test you back, my dear. Please, do remember that. HeraMakeUp04 Hera (Hera_0128): {#Emph}Enough {#Prev}already! Here's a blessing that you could have had {#Emph}without {#Prev}a fight! HeraMakeUp05 Hera (Hera_0129): Your struggles only entertain me for so long. Begone already, girl. HeraMakeUp06 Hera (Hera_0130): Look at us, bickering like an old married couple! What say we move on? HeraMakeUp07 Hera (Hera_0174): Consider yourself reprimanded, my dear. Know that you got off lightly this time. HeraMakeUp08 Hera (Hera_0175): Oh, we've made enough enemies already that we {#Emph}hardly {#Prev}need more. HeraMakeUp09 Hera (Hera_0176): We're royalty, my dear. We ought behave with a more-regal bearing, yes? HeraMakeUp10 Hera (Hera_0177): {#Emph}Tsk! {#Prev}We ought be forming strong alliances, not at each other's throats. HeraMakeUp11 Hera (Hera_0257): Why are we fighting, blast? You truly {#Emph}are {#Prev}one of us to get such a rise out of me. HeraMakeUp12 Hera (Hera_0258): Well! Mustn't keep {#Emph}all {#Prev}our anger bottled up, yet always have some in reserve. HeraPostEpilogue01 Hera (Hera_0239): The Fates are found! Such a relief our destinies are safely back in their hands. I was beginning to fear the course of our futures would forever be {#Emph}ours {#Prev}to decide. Perhaps once we're older, and more responsible. HeraPostEpilogue02 Hera (Hera_0240): A new age is to dawn soon enough, is {#Emph}that {#Prev}it? That much, the Three Fates guarantee, but otherwise we can do as we please! Well, fine. If mortals think they can get on without {#Emph}our {#Prev}intervention, I should like to see them try! HeraPostGift01 Hera (Hera_0055): How fare you in your task of late, my dear? Much better than we fare up here, I hope. Oh, all of us are fine, except... being besieged does mean we're stuck in closer quarters than I'd like. There's not a moment's peace! HeraPostGift02 Hera (Hera_0056): Take it from me, my dear, don't listen to your heart. I know it's difficult, seeing as the blasted thing tends to be very loud. But if you heed it, it'll lead you straight to your mistakes more often than not. HeraPostTrueEnding01 Hera (Hera_0232): My word, girl. To have delivered a groveling, impotent Chronos right into our hands, after having utterly destroyed Typhon... one astonishing feat after another, even for a goddess of your pedigree. How can we ever repay you? HeraPostTrueEndingAboutSurface01 Hera (Hera_0289): I don't see {#Emph}why {#Prev}you keep heading this way, when it's {#Emph}your {#Prev}Underworld that seems to need more help. The mountain's {#Emph}fine! {#Prev}Well mostly. Other than these remnant forces of the Titan ruffling our feathers still... HeraRejection01 Hera (Hera_0113): Need I remind you that I'm not particularly fond of those who turn their backs on me? HeraRejection02 Hera (Hera_0114): How {#Emph}disappointing {#Prev}yet how typical this is! Now it's my turn. HeraRejection03 Hera (Hera_0115): Whom do you take me for? You think I shall simply roll over and accept this? HeraRejection04 Hera (Hera_0116): Perhaps you belong here on Olympus after all, showing such rudeness to me. HeraRejection05 Hera (Hera_0117): Beware of angering me thus, my dear. You'll find I have an {#Emph}excellent {#Prev}memory. HeraRejection06 Hera (Hera_0170): You would be wise not to forget yourself with me. {#Emph}Here! {#Prev}Let me remind you. HeraRejection07 Hera (Hera_0171): Deep down, I value dissenting voices and opinions, but outwardly... {#Emph}no. HeraRejection08 Hera (Hera_0172): We must maintain decorum; neither can we tolerate such insubordination. HeraRejection09 Hera (Hera_0173): If you insist on siding against me, then I insist on making {#Emph}you {#Prev}regret it. HeraRejection10 Hera (Hera_0118): We goddesses truly ought to be more committed to each other than {#Emph}this. HeraRejection11 Hera (Hera_0119): My husband is very accustomed to getting his way; you need not indulge him so. HeraRejection12 Hera (Hera_0120): This swarthy son of mine is more a draw to you than I? {#Emph}Hahaha! HeraRejection13 Hera (Hera_0254): When next my Husband and I have a little disagreement, {#Emph}side with me. HeraRejection14 Hera (Hera_0255): My warmongering son is likely to blame for all this, yet you choose {#Emph}him? HeraRejection15 Hera (Hera_0256): What my sister may lack for youth she makes up for with wisdom, is that it? HeraRunStart01 Hera (Hera_0093): Each night presents to us a new beginning, isn't that so, my dear? And on {#Emph}this {#Prev}night, {#Emph}I {#Prev}shall accompany you from the very start... until the bitter end. HeraRunStartSurface01 Hera (Hera_0094): Your Underworld has long since fallen, but our Olympus yet stands; you're wise to head this way, where you can make a {#Emph}real {#Prev}difference, here and now. As {#Emph}I {#Prev}shall momentarily! HeraRunStartSurface02 Hera (Hera_0181): A single, capable combatant striking our enemies from their exposed flanks may be {#Emph}just {#Prev}what we require to drive them back. Looks like {#Emph}you're {#Prev}up for the job tonight! HeraRunStartUnderworld01 Hera (Hera_0180): Your descent into the Underworld has only begun, but I would join you from the very first steps. I'd far prefer it to all my other obligations put together, let me tell you! HeraSurfaceRunCleared01 Hera (Hera_0077): You came closer than ever to our mountaintop! I hoped, perhaps, that we could meet at last, but... we've more pressing matters to attend to now, the both of us. HeraUnderworldRunCleared01 Hera (Hera_0076): We saw reports suggesting that you made it to the lowest depths! I thought perhaps you had prevailed... though, not yet, it seems. A sign of progress, nonetheless! Press on. HeraUpgrade.BlindBoxOpenedVoiceLines Hera (Hera_0146): It is I. Hera (Hera_0147): Behold your Queen. Hera (Hera_0148): Good evening, my dear. Hera (Hera_0149): What a pleasant surprise! Hera (Hera_0150): Why, hello. Hera (Hera_0151): Greetings, my dear! HeraUpgrade.DeathTauntVoiceLines Hera (Hera_0121): You may be a princess; but remember, {#Emph}I {#Prev}am the Queen. Hera (Hera_0122): In my position, a certain strictness is required I'm afraid. Hera (Hera_0123): We Olympians are famous for our wrath; we have to be. Hera (Hera_0124): I took little pleasure in this, girl. Merely a trace, at best. HeraUpgrade.FirstSpawnVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1749): The Crest of the Queen... HeraUpgrade.FullSuperActivatedVoiceLines Hera (Hera_0131): I love a messy break-up!

Hera (Hera_0264): Our family grows and grows! Hera (Hera_0259): You wish to toy with {#Emph}me, girl? Hera (Hera_0260): We have a clever one in our midst! Hera (Hera_0261): Well I don't see why {#Emph}not! Heracles (Heracles_0541): The Queen...? Heracles (Heracles_0542): Queen Hera...! Heracles (Heracles_0543): Stepmother...! Chronos (Chronos_1255): That so-called {#Emph}Queen?! Chronos (Chronos_1256): My son's beloved wife? Zagreus (Zagreus_0354): Was that the {#Emph}Queen? Zagreus (Zagreus_0355): Queen Hera...?

Hera (Hera_0267): Sacrifices must be made! Hera (Hera_0268): See that, Lord Husband? HeraWithAphrodite01 Hera (Hera_0109): Even Titans and gods are quite vulnerable creatures, deep down. For we are all driven by a most-delicate instrument, as liable to stir our spirits or drive us to despair, as my dear Aphrodite knows full well. Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0143): Come now, my Queen! The heart's the strongest part we've got and tougher than it seems! We've withstood a bit upon this mountaintop, but we can take much more. Especially when our hearts {#Emph}all {#Prev}beat as one! HeraWithApollo01 Hera (Hera_0103): I fear for the younger generation. What can you possibly achieve when you're born with our worst qualities and not merely our best? Take good Apollo here... just like his father. Apollo (Apollo_0094): Now, Stepmother, don't all we gods aspire to your husband's excellence? I do appreciate the kind comparison! My fair cousin likewise surely has her father's finest traits! HeraWithAres01 Hera (Hera_0242): At least Lord Ares is back to where it's {#Emph}easier {#Prev}for me to keep an {#Emph}eye {#Prev}on him. Come, my son, let's make ourselves somewhat presentable? For the benefit of my niece there. Ares (Ares_0157): It shall be as you wish, O Queen. I'm honored that you sought me out, and trust our kin shall be most grateful to you in turn, as the vessel of the sum of our wrath. HeraWithDemeter01 Hera (Hera_0107): Much as your father was custodian of all the dead, so are we responsible for the rest of the world! The hour has grown dark, yes, but... we have the power to {#Emph}restore. {#Prev}Thanks be to my good sister Demeter... Demeter (Demeter_0102): The time for restoration always comes as does the spring. But we're amidst a long winter, without an end in sight. We need concern ourselves with naught else, O Queen. HeraWithHephaestus01 Hera (Hera_0111): I know full well we cannot stand on ceremony whilst our entire way of life is under threat! Yet surely my dear son Hephaestus here need not be so {#Emph}uncouth {#Prev}at every opportunity? Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0122): Not like you ever taught me proper manners, Mum. Fortunately, I did learn a couple things even without having a role model like you or Dad around to set me straight! Just {#Emph}watch{#Prev}. And witchie, too! HeraWithHestia01 Hera (Hera_0105): We goddesses can be too proud to beg for aid! I'd never stoop to it myself. Why bother, when my hard-headed sister Hestia shall insist on intervening, anyway? And at this very moment {#Emph}whilst I speak! Hestia (Hestia_0148): Because, respectfully, you just don't know what's {#Emph}good {#Prev}for you, O Queen! Sometimes it's ones can't bring themselves to ask for help that need it {#Emph}most! {#Prev}Now why don't we set a {#Emph}proper {#Prev}example for the latest unceremonious addition to our family? HeraWithPoseidon01 Hera (Hera_0101): A shame you never knew your father, girl... but at least now you know his good brother Poseidon, here! Imagine this one, but without the foolish grin, nor the inappropriate remarks, with frankly better hair, in finer physical form. Poseidon (Poseidon_0268): {#Emph}Ah, hahaha! {#Prev}See how strong a family we are, my niece?! For even in the face of such catastrophe as we have all endured, the Queen herself is able to make such humorous remarks! At my expense. But {#Emph}still! HeraWithZeus01 Hera (Hera_0097): {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}Look, my dear! It's my beloved husband. The distinguished {#Emph}King of the Olympians{#Prev}, who shall lead us all out of this mess. How goes it, Son of Chronos, any news? Zeus (Zeus_0098): Oh, {#Emph}hahaha! {#Prev}Come now, Hera dear, for all your jesting with me, it can send the wrong impression to one unaccustomed to your dry and clever wit! You see that, Melinoë? Humor is the bond that makes a marriage strong! HeraWithZeus02 Hera (Hera_0099): Our family's unity does not come cheap. We all must work together to ensure the bonds connecting us don't fray, or split entirely as was the case with Chronos. My Lord Husband knows this better than anyone, don't you, Zeus? Zeus (Zeus_0154): You're quite right, Dear, that marriage can most certainly begin to feel like work! It was so easy for us in the early days, but our responsibilities have grown since, haven't they? HermesAboutAphrodite01 Hermes (Hermes_0223): Aphrodite's blessing on you, M? Impressive work, her graces are in {#Emph}very {#Prev}high demand! Much as she likes getting involved in personal affairs, yours surely is a special case! HermesAboutApollo01 Hermes (Hermes_0174): Apollo's lighting up your life? Last thing he ever wants to do is get his hands dirty, but now, things being as they are, he doesn't have much of a choice I guess! HermesAboutApolloKeepsake01 Hermes (Hermes_0216): I know it was Apollo you expected, M, and he's quick! But I am quicker, and could beat him getting to you {#Emph}every time {#Prev}if I was a bit pettier than this! He'll be right with you soon. HermesAboutAres01 Hermes (Hermes_0226): Met Ares did you, M? Whenever there's a bloody dust-up, tempers flaring and all that, he will do everything he can to draw it out! This must be quite a big dilemma for him, mind. HermesAboutArtemis01 Hermes (Hermes_0045): Artemis and I weren't always close, each keeping to ourselves and all. But working with you and Hec brought us closer! We were so busy sneaking around, helped knowing we didn't have to sneak around each other! HermesAboutArtemis02 Hermes (Hermes_0100): You already caught up with Artemis, good good! She and I don't always chat, running around a lot, being discreet and all. But we exchange a knowing look from time to time! HermesAboutAthena01 Hermes (Hermes_0225): Athena's out there managing frontline defensive strategies and such. We mostly stay out of each other's way. She keeps her head in times like these, I'll give her that! HermesAboutCharon01 Hermes (Hermes_0046): You run into a certain Underworld Boatman rowing about, you tell him I said hey? We've not collaborated much as before, what with everything of late. I miss those times! HermesAboutCharon02 Hermes (Hermes_0047): So the Boatman's been all right, has he? That's good! I know that he's been looking out for Hec and the rest of you for a while now, but do look out for him in turn, would you? HermesAboutChronos01 Hermes (Hermes_0041): What a customer, the Titan of Time! I've not met Gramps before, though I can imagine what he must be like. Used to wonder how come my pop and his brothers were so dodgy sometimes. Now I know where they got it from! HermesAboutChronos02 Hermes (Hermes_0042): You'd think the Titan of Time wouldn't be so stuck in the past, caught up in his idea of a {#Emph}Golden Age {#Prev}when {#Emph}he {#Prev}used to rule, and mortals hadn't a care in the world? Caring's not such a bad thing I think! HermesAboutChronosPlan01 Hermes (Hermes_0077): No way you could have already stopped Gramps by now, but going after him right when you did, you're buying us some time to put a little wrinkle in his plan. So {#Emph}cheers! HermesAboutCirce01 Hermes (Hermes_0173): Ran into Lady Circe on your way last night, did you, M? She's quite the talent with those magick spells of hers. Liked turning mortals to all sorts of things! Bit {#Emph}mean {#Prev}if you ask me! HermesAboutClients01 Hermes (Hermes_0297): I've got a lot of regulars, but just between us, {#Emph}this {#Prev}one is my favorite, M. You Underworld types tend not to be too fussy, and you're clear with what you want. I like that about you! HermesAboutDemeter01 Hermes (Hermes_0099): For all that's happened, glad you finally met Demeter, even if only by Boon. She had a funny way of showing it sometimes but {#Emph}always {#Prev}loved your mum an awful lot. She'll fight to get her back, to the bitter end. HermesAboutDionysus01 Hermes (Hermes_0224): Some of our relatives don't like to get involved. Dionysus, he will go to every feast, but never to a fight! {#Emph}Why don't we all just get along{#Prev}, he says. Though, come to think... it's not a bad idea! HermesAboutEris01 Hermes (Hermes_0217): Some of the gods think Eris showed up near our mountain causing trouble again all because of you! They don't know I practically {#Emph}begged {#Prev}you to come up to our rescue over here. Think Hec gave you the order! We're really in it now... HermesAboutFamiliars01 Hermes (Hermes_0166): Wise move having an animal companion along! I've got a soft spot for the quiet self-sufficient types. My little tortoise Chellen always feels at home wherever we go! HermesAboutFamily01 Hermes (Hermes_0038): At least the family knows about you now! Always wanted to say, {#Emph}Message to Olympus! Persephone and Hades had another kid! And she's all right! {#Prev}But Hec knew we had to wait, and she knows a lot! So my lips were sealed. HermesAboutFates01 Hermes (Hermes_0079): So Gramps somehow got hold of the Three Fates! That isn't good, not sure what we can do about it, M. At least now everybody on Olympus knows, I figured it was time! Got us a bit on edge, though we do hide it pretty well! HermesAboutFatesQuest01 Hermes (Hermes_0284): Still have the matter of the Three Fates to be sorted out. So Gramps just sent them into exile and then entirely lost track? How are {#Emph}we {#Prev}supposed to find them if {#Emph}he {#Prev}can't...? HermesAboutGameplayTimer01 Hermes (Hermes_0101): Keeping track of your best time, that's what I like to see! Take anything worth doing, then do it just as well a little faster, and a {#Emph}little {#Prev}faster, and soon, you'll be like {#Emph}me! Almost! HermesAboutGameplayTimer02 Hermes (Hermes_0219): Notice you're not timing yourself anymore, and M? It breaks my heart. Not really, mind. Just find your speed, but still! Want to know how fast you are, there's only one way to find out. HermesAboutHades01 Hermes (Hermes_0085): You found your father down there, M! Never could get close enough myself, hope he's still all right. Hope {#Emph}everyone{#Prev}'s all right! We'll get them back, keep doing everything we can. HermesAboutHecate01 Hermes (Hermes_0037): Known Hec a while, and don't envy either one of you. She couldn't just send you off to deal with Gramps before you were ready! You must have {#Emph}hated {#Prev}having to wait. I know I do! HermesAboutHephaestus01 Hermes (Hermes_0096): You got Hephaestus to come out of his shell! All I can get from him are work orders, {#Emph}bring me more bronze {#Prev}and such! Glad you can put the fruits of all his labor to good use! HermesAboutHephaestus02 Hermes (Hermes_0097): Hephaestus makes a {#Emph}mean {#Prev}set of armor, and you know what? He makes a mean pair of sandals, too. I wear mine all the time! {#Emph}Footwear{#Prev}, M! I really think it's going to catch on! HermesAboutHera01 Hermes (Hermes_0221): You know, I think my stepmum likes you quite a bit! Not to be taken for granted! Despite her specialties, I get the feeling our Queen Hera's not too keen on kids. HermesAboutHeracles01 Hermes (Hermes_0063): Ran into big old Heracles, did you? My stepmum's sent him on another labor of some sort. Got the feeling that his heart's not in it anymore. But hey, he's tough! And we could use the help. HermesAboutHestia01 Hermes (Hermes_0222): So Hestia already got you, then? She's really rather spry despite her age. And likes to play with fire, too! Still just a kid at heart... one of those wee scary ones, mind! HermesAboutKeepsake01 Hermes (Hermes_0075): You're moving right along there, M! Helps having that Metallic Droplet with you at all times. At least till it stops working for the night! Can't go top speed forever, but {#Emph}we try! HermesAboutKeepsake02 Hermes (Hermes_0228): What a coincidence, it's you, and you're {#Emph}already {#Prev}quick! But you can always be a little quicker! Not me, though. HermesAboutLittleToSay01 Hermes (Hermes_0290): I like to talk sometimes but I like going quickly {#Emph}always {#Prev}so how about we keep these little conversations nice and brief from here? For the most part! HermesAboutMelinoe01 Hermes (Hermes_0040): Hec always said you're quick to learn, you know? And sure enough, whenever I'd drop in, you'd be over a cauldron, working some new spell. Well, {#Emph}this is it! {#Prev}Your time to work some magick for our sake! HermesAboutMission01 Hermes (Hermes_0078): Officially, I'm keeping tabs on you, you're not supposed to know, just so you know. I tell Olympus {#Emph}all {#Prev}the latest happenings, nothing too private, mind; and then I tell {#Emph}you {#Prev}more! Just keeping tabs on everyone I guess! HermesAboutMission02 Hermes (Hermes_0083): These last few nights since you got started, all I managed to confirm is Gramps got hold of someone whom he's sure gives him the upper hand. Right now he's readying the next stage of his plan to bring this mountain down! I'd better go. HermesAboutMomusAspect01 Hermes (Hermes_0089): Nice snake-staff that you've got there, M, must be they're all the rage! These snakes of {#Emph}mine {#Prev}are from Apollo, helps remind me of the family, you know? Stuck together, skin not so thick, pitch hissy-fits sometimes... love 'em anyway. HermesAboutMoros01 Hermes (Hermes_0084): Hec tells me Moros, son of Nyx, is staying with you for a bit down there? I thought he always stuck with the Three Fates. There's something going on, and I don't like it, M. HermesAboutOceanus01 Hermes (Hermes_0060): You're taking something of a scenic route down to your father's House! Gramps has the major regions of the Underworld locked down, so... come to think, that makes a lot of sense! HermesAboutOlympus01 Hermes (Hermes_0059): You finally saw what it was like up here! Most of the others are holding out at the top of Olympus, and {#Emph}you {#Prev}are the reinforcements. So, come on back when you can, all right? HermesAboutOlympusSiege01 Hermes (Hermes_0036): Olympus has been under siege before! Normally, it's not too big a deal. But Gramps has something else in mind this time. Got some individuals here pretty spooked! HermesAboutOlympusSiege02 Hermes (Hermes_0215): You saw we stashed some goods for you up on our mountaintop, right M? It's just a bit out of the way for my professional associate, though we'll keep you supplied! HermesAboutPackageBounty01 Hermes (Hermes_0090): Had a feeling that I'd find you here one of these nights, you know? Like something's in the air. I'm all keyed up, just want to get things done as {#Emph}mega{#Prev}-fast as possible! HermesAboutPast01 Hermes (Hermes_0039): To think I used to fill my days with whisking mortal newly-deads down to your father's realm! Honestly grew to like it soon enough, so even after Gramps showed up, I kept on stopping in when I could sneak a trip! HermesAboutPersephone01 Hermes (Hermes_0043): Your mum would travel back and forth between Olympus and your father's House, and {#Emph}I {#Prev}had the pleasure of accompanying her! One day, she didn't show up. I knew right then and there something was off... HermesAboutPoseidon01 Hermes (Hermes_0220): Uncle Poseidon's blessing done you any favors yet this eve? Likes claiming it'll make you nigh invincible, but here's a little traveler's insurance just in case! HermesAboutPrometheus01 Hermes (Hermes_0102): We've got more Titan problems than we figured, M. If Gramps could get Prometheus to take his side, who only knows what else. Ruffled a lot of feathers haven't we? HermesAboutPrometheusAltFight01 Hermes (Hermes_0269): Prometheus and Heracles, turns out they're close, are they? Your little spat with them was shrouded by the dark but I caught glimpses of it here and there. I need to know about these things though doesn't mean I'll tell! HermesAboutReachingSurface01 Hermes (Hermes_0034): M, I know it's not an easy trip, or even possible for you right now, heading all the way up here. But just imagine how hard it is for our family to swallow our pride and ask for aid! Things are that grim! HermesAboutRouteChoice01 Hermes (Hermes_0074): Time of need here, M, and we need you at the bottom of the Underworld, {#Emph}and {#Prev}the top of Olympus! Two places at once, my sympathies. The {#Emph}trick {#Prev}is to move really, really fast! HermesAboutSelene01 Hermes (Hermes_0095): Oh good! Selene got a hold of you already, M! Quite the vantage point the Eye of Night has got! Always looking out for you and all of us. Her steeds are pretty quick as well! HermesAboutShrine01 Hermes (Hermes_0218): This is a proper spooky night, you had something to do with it, right M? My heart's racing nonstop! Whatever you've been up to in your Crossroads there, hope it works! HermesAboutSurface01 Hermes (Hermes_0080): You made it up here, M! I'll speed you on except this climate's going to be {#Emph}rough. {#Prev}You Underworld types and surface air! Must be something we can do about it, right...? HermesAboutSurface02 Hermes (Hermes_0081): Hey M! Don't know exactly what you did, or maybe Hec, but you seem much much more yourself than last I saw. That's great! Because to make it all this way, you're going to need {#Emph}every {#Prev}bit of strength. And {#Emph}speed! HermesAboutSurface02B Hermes (Hermes_0082): Hey M! You're here! That's great! Hec says you even got your Underworld blood-curse sorted so you're ready for a bit of a long-distance run. Just watch for bumps along the way, though let's speed you past them if we can! HermesAboutSurface03 Hermes (Hermes_0062): The dead throughout Ephyra should be resting easy in your father's care, but Gramps shut it all down, flung open the Underworld's gates, and here we are. If I were dead, I'd be mad, too. HermesAboutSurfaceCurse01 Hermes (Hermes_0252): All right, so it's rough going on the surface for you, I get that, but don't give up on us yet, M. I know you {#Emph}never {#Prev}would, mind. Probably just searching for some magickal ingredients you need, something like that? HermesAboutSurfaceShop01 Hermes (Hermes_0076): You found my special Shrines, good good! Some mortals pray to me both for safe travels and free stuff. {#Emph}Almost {#Prev}free. Small surcharge, mind! Associate has got to take his cut. HermesAboutSurfaceThreat01 Hermes (Hermes_0061): Gramps sends forces to Olympus, we can send them whence they came, no sweat. But he's got something else in store, and whatever it is, it's big. Learn anything, let Hec know right away. HermesAboutThessaly01 Hermes (Hermes_0172): If only I could whisk you clear across the sea-rift that Poseidon carved out. But we {#Emph}mustn't {#Prev}get spotted working too closely together. And besides, you're helping us with every deck you swab! So {#Emph}cheers! HermesAboutTime01 Hermes (Hermes_0295): Something that scares me, M, is the idea that Time may be even quicker than {#Emph}I {#Prev}am. Remember back when you were real small! Well {#Emph}bam! {#Prev}You're {#Emph}old {#Prev}now, just like {#Emph}that! HermesAboutTyphon01 Hermes (Hermes_0208): Good news is we can now be sure what Gramps had planned for us, but bad news is, it's Typhon, and he's big. But my pop stopped him once, so how hard could it be...? HermesAboutTyphon02 Hermes (Hermes_0209): Who do you think can make it to the top of Mount Olympus first, M, you or old Typhon? You've got a longer way to go, sure, but you are definitely faster! Or about to be! HermesAboutTyphonDeath01 Hermes (Hermes_0264): Typhon is gone for good?! My pop, he can't believe it still, but there has been no sign of that monstrosity up here since you last took him on! But why am {#Emph}I {#Prev}surprised? I figured if anyone could pull something like that off, it would be {#Emph}you! HermesAboutTyphonReveal01 Hermes (Hermes_0207): You almost made it to the very top that time, and though it's not my wish to spoil the surprise, you {#Emph}ought {#Prev}to know we're dealing now with good old Typhon, Father of All Monsters! Isn't that just great...? We need you back here, M. HermesAboutUltimateProgress01 Hermes (Hermes_0249): Hec says you're getting closer to a breakthrough there, with Gramps and Typhon and whatnot. Don't want to rush you, M, but this is {#Emph}me! {#Prev}I just can't help myself sometimes. HermesAboutZagreus01 Hermes (Hermes_0044): All this reminds of the time I backed your brother when he was searching for your mum! Had a vested interest in the outcome, sure. But before I knew it, I really started to care! We'll find a way to help them, won't we, M? HermesAboutZeus01 Hermes (Hermes_0098): Heard from my pop tonight already, M? He's always been a very busy god but never tires out. Now that you've got his lightning strength, how about some lightning {#Emph}speed {#Prev}to boot? HermesChat01 Hermes (Hermes_0003): Both got some business to attend to, so let's get you on your way! HermesChat02 Hermes (Hermes_0004): Thought I'd check up on you, everything good? Then good! HermesChat03 Hermes (Hermes_0005): Things don't look great right now, but that can quickly change! HermesChat04 Hermes (Hermes_0006): Sure, Time goes fast! But I think we'll be able to keep up! HermesChat05 Hermes (Hermes_0007): Coincidentally was passing through with choice of blessings here! HermesChat06 Hermes (Hermes_0008): Quick and quiet, M! You've got this, right? HermesChat07 Hermes (Hermes_0009): In a bit of a rush, here, M, so let's get moving shall we? HermesChat08 Hermes (Hermes_0010): {#Emph}Special delivery for the Princess of the Underworld! HermesChat09 Hermes (Hermes_0011): Hey M, you need a lift? 'Cause I've got one. Three, in fact! HermesChat10 Hermes (Hermes_0012): I'm scraping by. You scraping by? Let's scrape on by, why not? HermesChat11 Hermes (Hermes_0013): They say to not be hasty, but then what do they know, right? HermesChat12 Hermes (Hermes_0014): Live fast or not at all, right, M? Now take your pick! HermesChat13 Hermes (Hermes_0015): We'll have you on your way in no time at all! HermesChat14 Hermes (Hermes_0016): Figured you were due to get there right about now! HermesChat15 Hermes (Hermes_0017): Don't think too much about this now, just snap one up and go! HermesChat16 Hermes (Hermes_0018): Looks like we've got another busy eve ahead of us! HermesChat17 Hermes (Hermes_0019): {#Emph}Hurry, M, before it's too late! {#Prev}I like saying that. HermesChat18 Hermes (Hermes_0020): Got something here should put a real spring in your step! HermesChat19 Hermes (Hermes_0021): All right, M, let's give {#Emph}you {#Prev}a little boost! HermesChat20 Hermes (Hermes_0022): Oh hey! Thought I'd stop by, drop off a little something for you here! HermesChat21 Hermes (Hermes_0023): We're in a race against Time, and so help me, we are going to win! HermesChat22 Hermes (Hermes_0024): Nice night for a little jog, wouldn't you say there, M? HermesChat23 Hermes (Hermes_0025): Hey! Got one of those special deliveries for you, M! HermesChat24 Hermes (Hermes_0026): Only the best and swiftest service for my valued customers! HermesChat25 Hermes (Hermes_0027): You headed up this way? Maybe I'll see you later on! HermesChat26 Hermes (Hermes_0028): Want to make haste, then I got just the thing! HermesChat27 Hermes (Hermes_0029): Lots going on! Been running around all night! HermesChat28 Hermes (Hermes_0030): No calamitous attack on our family is going to slow us down! HermesChat29 Hermes (Hermes_0031): Got to check up on a couple of things, but first, here! HermesChat30 Hermes (Hermes_0032): Hey hey, M! One of those heys is from Artemis. HermesChat31 Hermes (Hermes_0033): Hey hey, M! One of those heys is from Selene. HermesFieldAboutBusiness01 Hermes (Hermes_0188): All right, M, I don't want to hold you up now that you're here, you've got important business after all. Just making sure you made it in one piece! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3179): Still in one piece, Lord Hermes, but we'll see how long {#Emph}that {#Prev}sticks. Though who knows? Perhaps Typhon will flatten me, instead of tearing me to shreds. Hermes (Hermes_0189): Oh that is grim. Although you know what else is? This {#Emph}entire {#Prev}situation we're in. I mean, {#Emph}look {#Prev}at this place! So how about we both get out of here? HermesFieldAboutCharon01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4224): How's everything with you and Charon been, now that the Underworld is no longer under Titan governance? Hermes (Hermes_0291): Oh, it's been great! Which is to say it hasn't changed too much. He can't go back to ferrying Shades of the dead until the Underworld is up and running like it used to be. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4225): My impression is that may take a while. Father is meticulous about taking stock of everything that's changed, and doesn't want to rush into reopening till everything is prepared. Hermes (Hermes_0292): You lost me after {#Emph}doesn't want to rush{#Prev}, honestly, M. Long as your father knows he's got some helping hands available whenever he may need. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4226): I can remind him if need be! HermesFieldAboutPalace01 Hermes (Hermes_0186): Don't fret too much about Pop's Palace up there, M! Old Typhon's big and strong and all but he can't crush what he can't see! Well, not as easily as if he {#Emph}could {#Prev}see it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3178): That's not entirely assuring. So Lord Uncle Zeus and the rest have concealed their seat of power, leaving Typhon to direct his fury at this fortress? Hermes (Hermes_0187): Yep, more or less! They figure that if we have to take on Typhon, and we do, this is the perfect spot! After all, it's a long way down from the summit. A {#Emph}quick {#Prev}way down, mind! HermesFieldAboutPalace02 Hermes (Hermes_0260): So, what did you think of Pop's Palace? Finally got to see the glory with your own eyes, M! A serious accomplishment given you're not supposed to be up here at all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4216): The Palace of Zeus wasn't like any place I'd ever seen... it's very beautiful, but very bright. I don't know how you all could live up there. But you must feel the same about where I'm from. Hermes (Hermes_0261): Well I for one quite like it dark but I've spent more time in the Underworld than everybody else up here combined! As for the Palace, least it's kept us safe in all of this! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4217): Let's keep it that way. HermesFieldAboutPalace03 Hermes (Hermes_0262): Too bad Pop's Palace is shut down for now, heightened security, something like that. You don't mind do you? No need to dally over there if you ask me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4218): ...No, between us, I don't really mind at all. I can still keep up with the King and Queen and all the rest by Boon, and this means I can get back a little sooner on a good night. Hermes (Hermes_0263): See, that's exactly how I look at it! The sooner you get past that massive monster likely lurking behind that huge gate back there, the sooner you can rest up for the {#Emph}next {#Prev}one! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4219): Then let's go. HermesFieldAboutSupport01 Hermes (Hermes_0253): Knew I could count on you here, M, not just with Typhon, but my special shrines! You've donated a lot of coin to a good cause, so {#Emph}cheers! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4209): What cause would that be, now that you mention it? Lord Charon's been working to destroy all the coins he can get his hands on... you're not racing to do the same, are you? Hermes (Hermes_0254): Call it a bit of healthy competition between professional associates. He had a head start and has got the upper hand for now, but thanks to you, I have been catching up! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4210): You can do it! But so can he. HermesFieldAboutSurfaceShop01 Hermes (Hermes_0181): You should have everything you ordered from my special shrine, with faster shipping, free of charge! Now comes the hard part. Think you're ready for it, M? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3176): I'd be less ready were it not for you. Thank you for meeting with me here. Does Olympus know you're doing this? Hermes (Hermes_0182): They know I'm out delivering supplies! We're all on the same side anyway, right? No need to bore them with the details when they've got their hands completely full. Hermes (Hermes_0183): I'm off! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3030): Farewell! HermesFieldAboutTyphon01 Hermes (Hermes_0175): You made it all the way up here, that's great! Except what isn't great is Typhon, you've run into him already probably? A mountain-sized monstrosity and all his brood? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2967): This storm, this... infestation. All of this is Typhon's doing, then? How did he get here? How do we stop him? Hermes (Hermes_0176): No easy answers for you, M, except Gramps brought this on us, all part of his plan. The others can hold fast awhile in Pop's Palace but they need your help. I better report to Hec! Hermes (Hermes_0177): Be safe! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2968): You, too... HermesFieldAboutTyphon02 Hermes (Hermes_0178): Can't shake the feeling that I failed you here, M. I was supposed to figure out what Gramps was up to, but I wasn't quick enough. So now you're fighting Typhon face to face! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3174): Lord Hermes, we'll have to go through everything that could have turned out differently once all of this is over. But for now, our present matters seem more urgent than the past. Hermes (Hermes_0179): I know. You're right. It's just I'm starting to accept that all of this is what Gramps wanted to achieve: first capture the Three Fates so they can't mess with {#Emph}him{#Prev}, then wake up Typhon so he can mess with {#Emph}us...! {#Prev}Then take over everything. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3175): You didn't know all the details, but long since figured out Chronos was up to something big. Had you not acted swiftly then, I wouldn't be here now. We wouldn't have this chance. Hermes (Hermes_0180): I prefer guarantees to chances, M! But hey, you're right. We do the best we can with what we've got. Hermes (Hermes_0155): See you! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3032): See you. HermesFieldAboutTyphon03 Hermes (Hermes_0258): You've knocked Typhon around a bit, but he's still plenty mad. Isn't there something you or Hec can do to make him maybe go away for good? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4214): If by {#Emph}make him go away for good {#Prev}you mean have his whole existence flash before his many eyes before he's finally destroyed, then yes, that's in the works. But it may take some time. Hermes (Hermes_0259): Oh great! Can't do things quick if they don't take some time. Well then don't let me keep you from your research, see you later, M! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3031): Take care! HermesFieldAboutTyphonDeath01 Hermes (Hermes_0265): Now {#Emph}wait{#Prev}, is Typhon gone, or isn't he? Because there's been no sign of him but now Gramps has these little time-pockets, and once we go in, it's like Typhon never left! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4220): That's more or less a way to understand it, but... how are you even {#Emph}here? {#Prev}I didn't realize Grandfather was sending others through. Do you even know how to get back? Hermes (Hermes_0266): I run fast enough, I can get back! Gramps also left the others with the means to get us out, and we're keeping a close eye on him. I better take a look around! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4221): Careful out there! HermesFieldGiftDecline01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4211): Lord Hermes, I've a little gift for you while we're both here, if you don't mind! May this Ambrosia ensure you're always as light on your feet as can be! Hermes (Hermes_0255): Really appreciate this, M, but can't accept. Wouldn't do if I showed up with a bunch of Ambrosia right now, no matter how much {#Emph}I {#Prev}or {#Emph}anyone {#Prev}might want a sip. Though, cheers! HermesFirstPickUp Hermes (Hermes_0071): How's things, you good? I'm good. Mostly! And good to see your task is underway, but change of plan, though it's a lot to ask: Up for a visit to Olympus sometime soon? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2003): Lord Hermes, just a moment, what do you mean {#Emph}Olympus? {#Prev}My task is to stop Chronos in the Underworld. I can hardly breathe the surface air, much less get to a mountaintop! Hermes (Hermes_0072): Come on, M! You have your ways! Gramps is up to something bad, more than his usual attacks, so just give it some thought. I wouldn't ask if it was nothing, right? Now got to run, and so do you. I'll be in touch by Boon! Hermes (Hermes_0073): So long for now! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2004): Goodbye! HermesGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0957): I'm glad you're here, Hermes, and it's an honor to finally be working together. To our swift victory! Hermes (Hermes_0066): Oh, hey! It's been a minute since I got an offering! Cheers, M, although you needn't have. But here, I've just the thing for you! HermesGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0958): Hermes, if there's anyone out there who can help me outpace Time, it's you. Please accept this, for your swift and reliable service. Hermes (Hermes_0067): Right charitable of you, really, M, it's just I {#Emph}really {#Prev}need to move along, so let's get to the blessings if you please? HermesGift03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2005): If not for all your speed and bravery, we never would have had a fighting chance against our enemy, Hermes. I don't think we'll soon be able to repay you for this, but I can try! Hermes (Hermes_0091): Right cordial of you, M, though I'm not much for tips and we've got pressing matters to attend to, don't you think? Though I appreciate it, honestly. HermesGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2006): I know you've been exceptionally busy as of late, though might I briefly interrupt our routine to give to you this little offering? It isn't much, but down here it's some of the best we've got. Hermes (Hermes_0092): Don't know how you can find the {#Emph}time {#Prev}these days, though I am grateful that you thought of me like this! Now straight to business, then? Got lots to {#Emph}do! HermesGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3722): Where would we be without you, Lord Hermes? You've done so much to prepare us for the rigors we're having to endure. I know your efforts by their nature sometimes go unnoticed, but not by the Unseen. Hermes (Hermes_0168): It's been a real pleasure working with you, M. One of the bright spots in all of this in fact! I keep my chin up no matter what, got to see where I'm going, right? Cheers for making it easy! HermesGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3723): To the swiftest of the gods, and one of my dearest, oldest comrades. Lord Hermes, you've served both Olympus and the Underworld, and you've seen it all. The rest of our family can learn so much from you. I know I could. Hermes (Hermes_0169): I run around a lot and all. Been to a lot of places, met a lot of different characters, but you know what? You're still the best, I really mean it, M. You're not the {#Emph}fastest{#Prev}, mind! Can't have it all. But you and me? We cut it pretty close. HermesGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4212): Special delivery for you, Lord Hermes! You've aided me more times than I can count, and encouraged me every step of the way. I could never have come this far this quickly otherwise. Hermes (Hermes_0256): Hey! Ambrosia! Just what I always wanted! Not seen it very often recently, nor the feasting that tends to go with it. Though at this rate we might soon have more! {#Emph}Feasting {#Prev}that is, which ought to be in your honor. HermesGift08 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4213): To our esteemed Messenger, and my distinguished friend! Not only have you kept the bond between the Underworld and Olympus from fraying, you've done it swiftly and silently. You're practically a chthonic god yourself! Hermes (Hermes_0257): That really means a lot, cheers, M. You know I like doing things fast, but the one thing I like even {#Emph}more {#Prev}is doing things well. We gods don't always have to work hard, but your father always did, and so do you. I'm glad I'm not alone. HermesLegendaryPickUp01 Hermes (Hermes_0093): Somebody call for Premium Express delivery, hey, M? This is the {#Emph}best {#Prev}I've got, and it'll take you far and fast!

I just have even more of it than usual right now! HermesLootBought01 Hermes (Hermes_0068): You know, it's gotten harder sneaking down into the Underworld of late! Good thing I happen to know an expert on the subject. And so do {#Emph}you{#Prev}, I see! HermesLootBought02 Hermes (Hermes_0069): Cheers for your business, on behalf of my erstwhile professional associate there! Feels good to be working together with that one again, you tell him I said {#Emph}hrrnnggh! HermesLootBought03 Hermes (Hermes_0170): The boatman always takes his toll, that's just the way it is! Though the benefits are {#Emph}more {#Prev}than worth the asking price, you got my guarantee! HermesLootBought04 Hermes (Hermes_0171): What do you guess my professional associate does with all that coin, really? He still won't say a word. Think he's just covering his tracks so Gramps can't pin him down! HermesLootBought05 Hermes (Hermes_0275): How long you think it's going to take to do away with all that Chronos Gold, another {#Emph}age {#Prev}or two? Not that you're slow, mind, more that he minted an awful lot of coins right quick! HermesLowHealth01 Hermes (Hermes_0049): Looks like you hit a few bumps on your way there, M! Do watch your step, though when you're moving fast, I know it can be tough! HermesLowHealth02 Hermes (Hermes_0050): It's rough out there tonight, isn't it M? Well just hang on, and maybe one of {#Emph}these {#Prev}will help you go a little farther, {#Emph}faster! HermesLowHealth03 Hermes (Hermes_0051): Oh, no! You're hurt! What happened to you, M? Gramps must have got to you before I did! How is that even possible...? HermesLowHealth04 Hermes (Hermes_0052): That's not the safest place to travel, is it, M? So you picked up a scrape or two, so what! Now you'll pick up some speed! HermesPostEpilogue01 Hermes (Hermes_0285): You found them, M! The Fates! They told me so themselves, figured I'd spread the word, being a messenger and all, and you know what? They're {#Emph}right! {#Prev}Sounds like their time away gave them a change of heart... HermesPostEpilogue02 Hermes (Hermes_0286): The Fates supposedly are no longer deciding what'll happen from here out? Except big stuff, like new ages and such? Don't know {#Emph}how {#Prev}we're supposed to tell the difference, whether everything is planned by {#Emph}them {#Prev}or ours to decide... HermesPostEpilogue03 Hermes (Hermes_0389): Some sort of new age is in store then, take it you heard all about that firsthand, M. Guess it'll be here before we know it, as things like that tend to go! We'll be ready, and even if not, we'll act fast. HermesPostTrueEnding01 Hermes (Hermes_0274): I'd say I can't believe you did it, M, but that would mean I didn't think you could, but I {#Emph}did{#Prev}, so I {#Emph}won't! {#Prev}But I {#Emph}will {#Prev}say: Cheers for {#Emph}everything! {#Prev}I know we might not be completely done, but if a bit of pressure's off now, good. HermesPostTrueEnding02 Hermes (Hermes_0278): So far I'm liking this new Gramps of ours {#Emph}much {#Prev}better than the mean old Chronos from before. You'll have to tell me sometime how you turned his world upside down to make him be this way. Hec hasn't said a thing! HermesPostTrueEnding03 Hermes (Hermes_0283): Your father's back where he belongs, your mother too, I'm really glad they're safe and sound together, M. You've got to make up for lost time with them, and you'll be able to from here on out! HermesRunStart01 Hermes (Hermes_0053): Hey M! Heard you were heading out again, figured I'd drop on in, and send you off! Safe travels, and all that! HermesRunStart02 Hermes (Hermes_0054): Long way to go from there, right, M? Well let's see if we can't cut out a little travel time to your next destination! HermesRunStart03 Hermes (Hermes_0055): Thought I'd catch you right on your way out! Travel can be a very rewarding experience, but sometimes, you just want to get to where you need to be! HermesRunStart04 Hermes (Hermes_0056): Another race to the finish line begins, hey, M?

Skelly (Skelly_0116): Responsibility is earned. Skelly (Skelly_0121): That is for you. HeroData.HeroVoiceLines.WeaponLobOutOfAmmoVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_2744): Out of Shells. Melinoe (Melinoe_2745): No Shells. Melinoe (Melinoe_2746): Need Shells. Melinoe (Melinoe_2747): Revaal's empty. HeroData.HeroVoiceLines.WeaponSuitNoTargetVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_3913): No targets... Melinoe (Melinoe_3914): Nothing in range... Melinoe (Melinoe_3915): Need a target... HeroData.HeroVoiceLines.WellShopSoldOutVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1458): Bought it all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1459): No more for now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1460): Depleted. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1461): Nothing more here. HeroData.HeroVoiceLines.WellShopUsedVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1447): Ah-{#Emph}hah...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1448): Look what we have here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1441): What's in the Well this time...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1442): What do we have in here... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1443): Something I need...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1444): Let's see here... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1446): Some of Lord Charon's wares... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1445): I do have Gold to spare... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1449): Don't have much Gold... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1450): Can't pay for much right now... HeroData.HeroVoiceLines.WonExitRaceVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_0056): No you don't...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0057): Got to go! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0058): Well I'm off!

HeroData.LowHealthVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_0319): You... Melinoe (Melinoe_0320): {#Emph}Rngh. Melinoe (Melinoe_0321): {#Emph}Tsch. Melinoe (Melinoe_0322): {#Emph}Grr! Melinoe (Melinoe_0323): {#Emph}Pah. Melinoe (Melinoe_0324): Really. Melinoe (Melinoe_0325): {#Emph}Nrgh. Melinoe (Melinoe_0326): Truly. Melinoe (Melinoe_0327): No...! Melinoe (Melinoe_1956): Damn it! Melinoe (Melinoe_0328): Damn you...! HestiaAboutAphrodite01 Hestia (Hestia_0064): You bear the gift of Aphrodite, don't you, there? You know, she's much, {#Emph}much {#Prev}older than she looks. Appearances are everything to her, whilst as for me, I'm about hotness of a different sort... HestiaAboutApollo01 Hestia (Hestia_0063): Why, the flamboyant god of light has put a little {#Emph}sparkle {#Prev}on you, hasn't he? Shines like the sun, Apollo does, {#Emph}oh sure! {#Prev}But there's more than one way to light up a place, you know. HestiaAboutAres01 Hestia (Hestia_0203): You know Ares by now, don't ya, dearie? He's cool-headed more than some of us, sure, but I think something's wrong with him. The only kind of warmth {#Emph}he {#Prev}cares for comes from fresh-spilled blood and flames of battle and the like. HestiaAboutArtemis01 Hestia (Hestia_0187): So it was Artemis who sniffed you out, was it? Seems like an awful big coincidence, but then we're gods, these things they happen all the time! I'll say I'm glad she found you when she did. HestiaAboutAthena01 Hestia (Hestia_0200): We're not too worried here right now what with Athena holding down the fort. She can be a little much if you two ever meet, but out of everybody here, she'd be the first I'd pick to watch my back. HestiaAboutChaos01 Hestia (Hestia_0191): I'm sensing something different in you there, dearie. It's like a divine mark of ours but it's most certainly not anybody's here. It's positively ancient, even next to me! Got some old friends that we don't know about? HestiaAboutChronos01 Hestia (Hestia_0043): You should have seen it, dearie, when we brought old Chronos down! Took six of us, at least, but we got him! Little wonder he's all sore about it still. We'll just have to dispose of him more thoroughly! {#Emph}Cremation{#Prev}, mayhaps? HestiaAboutChronosBossW01 Hestia (Hestia_0221): I still remember how it felt when we showed Chronos what we younger generation were made of! Now {#Emph}you're {#Prev}the younger generation, dearie, dealing with the same old problems and worse. Some things never do change! HestiaAboutChronosBossW02 Hestia (Hestia_0222): You and old Hecate, you must be sorting out some way to keep that Chronos from recovering, lest you wouldn't keep on going after him like this! You getting any warmer yet? HestiaAboutChronosPlan01 Hestia (Hestia_0076): We've been holding our own up here against that Chronos and his forces, but there's something going on, oh I can feel it. Whatever the Titan thinks he has in store, however, I suspect that it can {#Emph}burn... HestiaAboutChronosPlan02 Hestia (Hestia_0190): We don't quite know what Chronos has been cooking up for us, but we're all thinking that his little recent skirmishes against our mountainside are not the brunt of it. Not keen here to find out. HestiaAboutCinder01 Hestia (Hestia_0055): Got yourself some Cinder there, don't ya? Not a flashy substance, but it's strong, good source of flame! Most gods and mortals only care for shiny baubles and the like. But some of you witches rather know your stuff! HestiaAboutCinder02 Hestia (Hestia_0199): You're loaded up with Cinder, aren't ya? That much of it I can detect from here... a special kind from torches I know well. Some remnants of your bouts with Hecate? You can't really be fighting. Probably just your nightly exercise! HestiaAboutCosmetics01 Hestia (Hestia_0239): I know you've all this Chronos business to sort out but want to say, I can appreciate that you're attempting to make life a little cozier back home. Make things warmer and old Hestia can tell! HestiaAboutCosmetics02 Hestia (Hestia_0240): Never been to where you live but I can tell when someone's made a warm and happy home, such as they can. Decorations, little touches for a sense of welcome, that's the stuff! Not everybody gets it but {#Emph}you {#Prev}do. HestiaAboutDarkness01 Hestia (Hestia_0052): You're used to living in darkness, aren't you? Up here, darkness is widely feared. Even in the warmth of my firelight, they jump at shadows, mortals and even gods sometimes! They trust their weak eyes overmuch I think. HestiaAboutDemeter01 Hestia (Hestia_0104): My frosty little sister Demeter has been in touch already, I can tell! Your nan fancies herself the {#Emph}eldest of Olympus{#Prev}, she does! Only true because I'm usually not here. Mayhaps she left you cold, well not to worry, I have {#Emph}just {#Prev}the remedy! HestiaAboutDemeter02 Hestia (Hestia_0051): Poor little sister Demeter. She bore but one child, a girl, dearie. Persephone, your mum! And even still, that child caused her at least as much grief as joy. It's not your mum's fault, mind. She was a lovely one, with hair like yours. HestiaAboutDionysus01 Hestia (Hestia_0202): I don't even want to know what's going on with Dionysus anymore. The worse things get, the more he's wanting to cut loose! Whole blasted world could be aflame and he'd just let it burn! Could use some of his wine right now... HestiaAboutEosAspect01 Hestia (Hestia_0165): What happened to those Flames of yours? Now shining almost like the break of Dawn. Mayhaps that rosy-fingered Eos has decided to pitch in! Much as we'd hate to interrupt her from the one thing on her schedule each day... HestiaAboutEphyra01 Hestia (Hestia_0196): The city of Ephyra burns, but it's not entirely my fault! Flames are like a tool, I suppose... one of those things requiring precaution on one's part. Lose something in a fire, sorry! Can't help you with that! HestiaAboutEris01 Hestia (Hestia_0073): You had a bad run-in with that wretched Eris on your way here, eh? Just {#Emph}great{#Prev}, to know that Strife herself is up against us now! And got her grubby little fingers on my Rail of Adamant... I ought have kept the thing. HestiaAboutEris02 Hestia (Hestia_0116): Heard you plucked that nasty Eris from the sky! Well, serves her right! Though we could never make her stay away for good. To think she's one of {#Emph}Nyx's {#Prev}many pups! Squeeze out a big litter like that, you're liable to get a runt. HestiaAboutEris03 Hestia (Hestia_0247): That Eris keeps on getting in your way, even though Chronos himself has stood down and Typhon's dead and such? Well, she's as stubborn as {#Emph}we {#Prev}are, I am practically impressed! HestiaAboutFates01 Hestia (Hestia_0236): Things have not exactly gone our way, dearie. 'Specially if what I'm hearing about the Fates is so. Whether we ought to be in charge or no, it's they that put us here... and now they've vanished like a puff of smoke? HestiaAboutFields01 Hestia (Hestia_0111): You made it all the way down to the Mourning Fields before? A horrid place, or so I hear, and covered in dry brush, far as the eye can see. Well next time you're there, you burn your way on through! Hear me, hot stuff? HestiaAboutFighting01 Hestia (Hestia_0220): You might be wondering, {#Emph}Great-Auntie Hestia, when does the fighting ever cease? {#Prev}Well, I invite you to imagine back when I was closer to your age... a little leaner, little feistier, but not too different, all in all. We've been fighting ever since. HestiaAboutFlame01 Hestia (Hestia_0033): For every candle that you light, for every cauldron that you boil, that's {#Emph}my {#Prev}flame working its own magick for you, dearie! So you just think of me whenever the sparks fly. HestiaAboutFlame02 Hestia (Hestia_0034): Funny thing about flame, dearie, it's warm and pretty, isn't it? But it can kill you in a couple of licks. Really makes you think! And really makes you burn to a crisp, if you're not careful... HestiaAboutHades01 Hestia (Hestia_0037): Your dad and I got on all right, comparatively speaking, I suppose. After we put the Titans in their place, though, he went down into your Underworld, and I drifted away, like a spark from a flame... HestiaAboutHades02 Hestia (Hestia_0110): Your dad and I, we've got a lot in common, I suppose. The two {#Emph}not-technically-Olympians! {#Prev}At least I get to visit when I want, whereas poor Hades, soon as he got saddled with the Underworld, they never counted him among their kind again! HestiaAboutHades03 Hestia (Hestia_0234): I sure am glad to know your dad's all right. Him and your mum, your brother, everybody from that House of his. May they all be warm and comfortable together there. HestiaAboutHearth01 Hestia (Hestia_0259): The hearth-flame of this mountain started sputtering a bit after Typhon decided to show up. It's since been burning bright and hot, but I've been tending to it plenty, just in case. HestiaAboutHecate01 Hestia (Hestia_0105): Old Hecate's your teacher, is that it? Known her since I was probably {#Emph}your {#Prev}age, right proper dame! Been far too long since last we saw each other, come to think. {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, what can you do? She hates everybody, I hate everybody. HestiaAboutHephaestus01 Hestia (Hestia_0067): I'm pleased to know you and Hephaestus get along. That one, he's often on his own, as though my flames are all the company he needs. He's not the worst of sorts as we gods go. HestiaAboutHera01 Hestia (Hestia_0060): Already had a brush with sister Hera, have you, now? She's more accustomed to attending youngsters such as you, but then again, she's got her own to deal with. So why not stick with me? HestiaAboutHera02 Hestia (Hestia_0050): Our young Queen Hera, she'd always say one ought to keep her feelings bottled up and carefully in check. Look where that attitude got her! I say let loose your temper and your rage. Let it {#Emph}all {#Prev}out! HestiaAboutHeracles01 Hestia (Hestia_0197): Oh while you're up here do watch out for Heracles, big burly sort of man? One of the best we've got but sometimes gives the sense that he's become unhappy with his job. How that is possible, though, is beyond my ken! HestiaAboutHeracles02 Hestia (Hestia_0258): Done had a chat with Hera, with {#Emph}Queen Hera {#Prev}I should say, about how maybe we can all go easier on Heracles after all this. He ought to put down that big club of his and have a good long sit! HestiaAboutHermes01 Hestia (Hestia_0066): You've got a real spring in your step if I'm not mistaken, dearie! The handiwork of swiftest Hermes, I suppose. You know what else moves awful quick? Here, let me give you a little hint! HestiaAboutHestiaStatue01 Hestia (Hestia_0253): See they've got statues of me up here now, dearie? They didn't use to, but the others, they've been trying to get me back into the fold, pay me respects, there's a nice thought! But I don't want to see my own mug all the time! HestiaAboutHouse01 Hestia (Hestia_0261): How come you're not living in the House of Hades with your mum and dad? Must be nice and cozy there all deep beneath the Earth. Well, a House isn't always a home. Mayhaps you like your woods... HestiaAboutKeepsake01 Hestia (Hestia_0106): You got my Everlasting Ember, haven't you? Can faintly see its flicker even here. Your way of signaling to your Great-Auntie Hestia, and all the rest, that you are hankering for Boons with just a {#Emph}little bit {#Prev}of spice! HestiaAboutMortals01 Hestia (Hestia_0053): We ought have been kinder to mortals, really. Then Chronos would've had a harder time compelling the dead to rise against us! I've always tried to look after the living. But our family's best known for looking after ourselves. HestiaAboutMortals02 Hestia (Hestia_0054): The mortals used to make us many offerings, giving up their own food and the like. They always praised me first among the gods, for it's my fire they used when making sacrifice. It was very sweet! HestiaAboutMortals03 Hestia (Hestia_0238): The others don't agree with me on this, dearie, but you're still young, mayhaps impressionable, so... well {#Emph}I {#Prev}think mortals ought to get from us a bit more than we give. If the Fates are saying it'll happen down the line, then good! HestiaAboutMyths01 Hestia (Hestia_0112): The others, each in their own way, they do like when mortals make them subjects in their tales and songs. Well, not {#Emph}I! {#Prev}In that regard I think you Underworld gods are in the right. Best keep our business to our own damn selves! HestiaAboutOceanus01 Hestia (Hestia_0049): Where in those bloody depths {#Emph}are {#Prev}you, dearie, underneath the sea?! It's hard to get a blaze a-roaring when there's water all about, but if you can handle the pressure down there, I can bring the heat! HestiaAboutOlympians01 Hestia (Hestia_0045): Know what this family's problem is, dearie? It's just too big! The others act as though they pity me, {#Emph}poor childless Hestia{#Prev}, they say! But they all long for their childless days, I can see it in their eyes. HestiaAboutOlympians02 Hestia (Hestia_0046): I almost pity you, dearie, all swept up in our affairs! You don't know how hard I've tried to avoid it myself. Must we always have to take a blasted side in everything? But we gods, we just love a good fight... HestiaAboutOlympians03 Hestia (Hestia_0248): I figured we could use you, dearie, no real surprise. But, I didn't expect we'd {#Emph}like {#Prev}you, which is to say you're young, you've got your different customs and whatnot. We can be hard to get along with! But you're {#Emph}doing {#Prev}it! HestiaAboutPackageBounty01 Hestia (Hestia_0102): Just earlier I felt the strangest urge to seek you out, dearie! Almost as though it wasn't even me deciding it! Messing with eldritch forces or somesuch? Well if you want to gaze into the cold abyss, I'll keep you nice and warm. HestiaAboutPackageBounty02 Hestia (Hestia_0188): Don't know how you got so far so quick tonight, hot stuff, but you're not going any farther till you're properly prepared. Got to bring plenty of {#Emph}heat {#Prev}where you're going! HestiaAboutPalace01 Hestia (Hestia_0223): You didn't even get the Palace tour, Hera says. {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, dearie, if only I could have been there to show you around instead of tending to our flames. But then again, you see one of our fancy columns, mayhaps you've seen 'em all. HestiaAboutParents01 Hestia (Hestia_0044): Been on your own all this time, haven't you? Well, might be you're better off. Wish I never knew {#Emph}my {#Prev}blasted dad and mum! They taught me nothing I couldn't have learned better on my own. HestiaAboutPhlegethon01 Hestia (Hestia_0195): Someday I'd like to see the River Phlegethon you've got down in the Underworld! A river full of {#Emph}flame... {#Prev}tried making something like that here on our side, but it sent mortals panicking, and the gods didn't much care for it either... HestiaAboutPolyphemus01 Hestia (Hestia_0198): You had it out with Polyphemus, so I hear! Recall distinctly how he lost his eye. Let's say {#Emph}flame {#Prev}played a vital part and leave it there. Almost felt sorry for the lad, but he's been getting by. And getting in your way... HestiaAboutPoseidon01 Hestia (Hestia_0062): Blessed already by the mighty god of earth and sea, are ya? Poseidon's power and my own don't often mix, but then again, neither do he and I, of that you can be certain, there, dearie. HestiaAboutPrometheus01 Hestia (Hestia_0162): So the Titan of Foresight slipped his chains and fights against us now! A pity, that. Been on the outs with us ever since we caught him red-handed with my flames. Stole fire for the sake of mortalkind! Could have just asked me nice! HestiaAboutPrometheus02 Hestia (Hestia_0163): Prometheus, he never seemed to lack for smarts as I recall. Was a right level-headed sort, but now? He's serving Chronos, making mayhem for us here! They say he sees the future, so he must know he won't get away with this... HestiaAboutPrometheus03 Hestia (Hestia_0232): I figured once we got to Chronos, that Prometheus would not be far behind, longing for the days his liver was an eagle's snack. I know he's been a problem, but... I don't want to see him go through that again. Don't properly know why... HestiaAboutPrometheus04 Hestia (Hestia_0233): I know Prometheus supposedly can see what's coming up, but I just can't believe he saw all {#Emph}this! {#Prev}Suppose I should be madder at him, but... least it seems like he's been looking out for mortals still. HestiaAboutPrometheusL01 Hestia (Hestia_0256): Got sent home by Prometheus, I heard. Well if he burned you don't go putting ice on it, no matter what Demeter says. You witches must have ointments and the like... HestiaAboutRouteChoice01 Hestia (Hestia_0108): Don't let us keep on jerking you around, all right? First we got you going after Chronos, now we got you coming here to our defense, {#Emph}blast! {#Prev}Though just in case nobody's said it yet, we {#Emph}really do {#Prev}appreciate the help. HestiaAboutSayingLittle01 Hestia (Hestia_0262): {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, I'm proper tired now, you know? Incinerating this and that, on and on, it's taxing after a while! I'll keep on backing you, dearie, but might not be as much for chitchat for a bit. HestiaAboutSelene01 Hestia (Hestia_0059): You've got Selene's moonlight shine on you, eh? I'll not deny it has a certain power and allure... but such a cold and distant light, next to a scorching flame? There's no comparison! HestiaAboutShrine01 Hestia (Hestia_0189): Something about this night gives me the proper chills, hot stuff. It's like the darkness is so thick, it suffocates! And problem is, you can't have fire without air. Careful, all right? HestiaAboutSisters01 Hestia (Hestia_0035): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, this mountaintop. Gave up my seat here, you know. Wanted to see the world, not my blasted sisters everyday! But now I'm stuck here with the lot of them. Burns me right up, even to think about! HestiaAboutSoot01 Hestia (Hestia_0103): Guess what, hot stuff, your Great-Aunt's back again to turn your foes to soot! Best way to make it so they never bother you again, though tidying up can be a bit of a pain... HestiaAboutSuit01 Hestia (Hestia_0254): Strange contraption that you're using to make everything blow up! I got odd glances too when I still had the Rail of Adamant, but it could make 'em look away right quick. HestiaAboutSupayAspect01 Hestia (Hestia_0250): Well look at those fancy flames you've got, sputtering their sparks all uncontrollably! That is a safety hazard, dearie. Back when I was shooting fire at my foes, it sure was not an automatic thing. You youngsters have it {#Emph}easy {#Prev}now! HestiaAboutSurface01 Hestia (Hestia_0047): Well, look at you, hot stuff, you made it to the surface after all! I figured that you might. It's maybe even colder here than down below, but {#Emph}that{#Prev}, at least, we can fix right away, I think! HestiaAboutSurface02 Hestia (Hestia_0048): Mortals go from worshiping the flame to fearing it. As well they ought! The hearth-fires of every home there in that wretched city you reside in, all of them burned out. Not that I'm mad, oh no. HestiaAboutSurface03 Hestia (Hestia_0036): Poor thing, been all cooped up inside that Underworld, haven't you? There's a whole great world to see out there, once your business is done. Do let me know, I can suggest some wondrous spots not far from here! HestiaAboutSurfacePenalty01 Hestia (Hestia_0107): You're not supposed to be up here, are ya? Don't think your dad's permitted back up top, at least. But you're a witch, must be you've got your cures for everything under the sun! HestiaAboutTitans01 Hestia (Hestia_0164): Titans, gods, still couldn't tell you what's the bloody difference anyway! Don't look much different, don't sound much different. Not an age thing, {#Emph}that {#Prev}I can attest! It's just a handy way to brand our enemies. HestiaAboutTorch01 Hestia (Hestia_0109): What's that you got there, Ygnium is it? Reminds me of those twin torches that old Hecate would always have with her. If these are anything like those, they'll never sputter out. But just in case, we'll keep them nice and hot! HestiaAboutTyphon01 Hestia (Hestia_0192): Since Typhon's back, I thought I'd say {#Emph}nice knowing you, dearie! {#Prev}Not that we're going down without a fight, but just in case. We barely beat him when we first settled up with Chronos way back when! But now he's grown, a {#Emph}lot! HestiaAboutTyphon02 Hestia (Hestia_0193): Don't quite know how we're managing to hold back Typhon from reducing this whole mountaintop to ash. Must be the lightning, flames, floods, and earthquakes and the like! If you've got any bright ideas yourself, just come on up! HestiaAboutTyphonDeath01 Hestia (Hestia_0224): That bloody monster's down and out? And I mean out for good, as in, we can't find any trace of him at {#Emph}all! {#Prev}They're telling me you turned Typhon to {#Emph}ash{#Prev}, dearie! That's proper scary stuff...! HestiaAboutWinStreak01 Hestia (Hestia_0255): Great stuff, dearie, giving bad Chronos and then Typhon the old one-two! You make this stuff look proper easy now. Mayhaps I should give it a go myself one of these nights? HestiaAboutWitchcraft01 Hestia (Hestia_0041): So you're a bit of a witch, are you? Well, not I! Stuck with {#Emph}this {#Prev}family already, don't see why I'd want another one. But I understand the appeal, I suppose. Plenty of candles and fire to it, isn't there? HestiaAboutZeus01 Hestia (Hestia_0061): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, the mighty ruler of Olympus gave to you a bit of his {#Emph}thunderous might{#Prev}, did he now? Well that's not going to take you very far at all, so let me set you up with a {#Emph}little extra firepower {#Prev}here. HestiaBackstory01 Hestia (Hestia_0038): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, I was something in my glory days. Lots of suitors. {#Emph}Pfeh! {#Prev}I was a crack shot with the Rail of Adamant. You heard of it? Monstrous thing, gave it up. Gave up warring altogether! Until now, apparently! HestiaBackstory02 Hestia (Hestia_0042): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, the passions of youth! I've smoldered away, not much of a feast for the eyes at this point. Fine. But {#Emph}you? {#Prev}Still just a kindling. Though, we'll make an inferno of you yet! HestiaBlindBox01 Hestia (Hestia_0169): Having my Boon just stuffed into some unmarked sack, I {#Emph}swear! {#Prev}Halfway surprised it didn't burn right through. Sometimes it isn't easy getting hold of you, you know! HestiaBlindBox02 Hestia (Hestia_0244): You probably could tell this was my Boon from all the heat must have been wafting from the parcel there! Surprised it didn't burn right up! HestiaChat01 Hestia (Hestia_0003): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, let's {#Emph}burn {#Prev}it all down, what say you, dearie? HestiaChat02 Hestia (Hestia_0004): We'll turn that flicker in your step into a roaring flame! HestiaChat03 Hestia (Hestia_0005): What say we make a cozy little fire, then put all our enemies in it? HestiaChat04 Hestia (Hestia_0006): Looks like we've got a properly hot night ahead of us! HestiaChat05 Hestia (Hestia_0007): Everything's going to be covered in soot by the time we're through! HestiaChat06 Hestia (Hestia_0008): Don't let the fire in your heart sputter out, all right? HestiaChat07 Hestia (Hestia_0009): {#Emph}Hoh{#Prev}, let's have a look and get you good and fired up again, dearie! HestiaChat08 Hestia (Hestia_0010): All right, hot stuff! We're turning up the temperature to get things roaring, then! HestiaChat09 Hestia (Hestia_0011): Been far too long since we incinerated stuff together, hasn't it? HestiaChat10 Hestia (Hestia_0012): Sometimes, you just have to {#Emph}burn {#Prev}everything to the ground and go from there, hot stuff. HestiaChat11 Hestia (Hestia_0013): Sure everything's rotten, but between us girls, I've not felt this alive in some time! HestiaChat12 Hestia (Hestia_0014): They say never to play with fire, dearie. But you have my permission to go {#Emph}right {#Prev}ahead! HestiaChat13 Hestia (Hestia_0015): Time to turn the heat up to full blast, isn't that right, dearie? HestiaChat14 Hestia (Hestia_0016): Got another little warm-up for you right here, hot stuff! HestiaChat15 Hestia (Hestia_0017): Must be cold down in your whereabouts... but not for long! HestiaChat16 Hestia (Hestia_0018): I'm here again, dearie, so cozy up as we're about to have a real {#Emph}blast! HestiaChat17 Hestia (Hestia_0019): This old flame can never be put out, and don't you forget it, dearie! HestiaChat18 Hestia (Hestia_0020): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, if I could only roast more of our blasted enemies myself! HestiaChat19 Hestia (Hestia_0021): Warmest wishes to you, dearie, and a little something extra on the side! HestiaChat20 Hestia (Hestia_0022): Some evening, mayhaps you'll settle down to a nice comfortable life, but {#Emph}ohh{#Prev}, not tonight! HestiaChat21 Hestia (Hestia_0023): Sacrifices sometimes must be made, dearie. So round them up and put them to the flame! HestiaChat22 Hestia (Hestia_0024): We're in for a {#Emph}hot one {#Prev}this evening, oh I can already tell! HestiaChat23 Hestia (Hestia_0025): You burn proper hot even without my aid, but {#Emph}with {#Prev}it, {#Emph}oh, hohoho! HestiaChat24 Hestia (Hestia_0026): What's cooking there this eve, dearie? Whatever we damn well please, that's what! HestiaChat25 Hestia (Hestia_0027): Well now I reckon it's time to fan the flames a bit, isn't it then? HestiaChat26 Hestia (Hestia_0028): I've been cooking up a little something special just for {#Emph}you{#Prev}, hot stuff! HestiaChat27 Hestia (Hestia_0029): Is something burning over there, dearie? Well it's about to be! HestiaChat28 Hestia (Hestia_0030): Let's keep that everlasting flame alive and well, what say you, hot stuff? HestiaChat29 Hestia (Hestia_0031): Well at least we're living in exciting times, I'll give us that! HestiaChat30 Hestia (Hestia_0032): What say we add a little fuel to this fire we've got going, why don't we? HestiaChat31 Hestia (Hestia_0208): If mortals can't be having cozy-time, then I've a mind to say, {#Emph}nobody {#Prev}shall! HestiaChat32 Hestia (Hestia_0209): We could be sitting comfortable beside a fire sipping Nectar or somesuch, but {#Emph}no! HestiaChat33 Hestia (Hestia_0210): You're always dressed for warmer temperatures full knowing that Great-Auntie won't be far! HestiaChat34 Hestia (Hestia_0211): Time we start cooking again, hot stuff, while the night's still young and all! HestiaChat35 Hestia (Hestia_0212): What say we light up the night, dearie, using whichever kindling is at hand? HestiaChat36 Hestia (Hestia_0214): I've seen an awful lot in my time, but all this lately, got to say it's a bit new! HestiaChat37 Hestia (Hestia_0215): Never let that fire in your gut go out, dearie, but don't let it burn too hot either! HestiaChat38 Hestia (Hestia_0216): Don't let any of this get to you as it'll all blow over soon enough, always does. HestiaChat39 Hestia (Hestia_0219): Time again to let the sparks fly, {#Emph}eh? Oh {#Prev}I'm ready whenever you are! HestiaChat40 Hestia (Hestia_0218): Heading to our mountain's tippy-top again? Then let's make sure you don't catch cold. HestiaFirstPickUp Melinoe (Melinoe_0645): I thought the fire goddess never got involved? {#Emph}In the name of Hades! Olympus, I accept this message! Hestia (Hestia_0002): Well, look at you, hot stuff! Come to help the elderly, {#Emph}ah {#Prev}what a good girl you are. And here I was just about to burn this whole blasted place to the ground myself! Now, here's a little {#Emph}warm-up {#Prev}for ya... HestiaGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0951): Dear Goddess Hestia, I hope you will accept this offering. It's a pleasure to have met someone with your warmth, wisdom, and strength. Hestia (Hestia_0068): Well look at you, making me offerings! Such hospitality, and while I'd throw most customs to the flames, the old exchange of gifts is one that I don't mind. So here, something from me. HestiaGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0952): Please accept this, Great-Aunt Hestia! Your generous support means a lot to me. I know there's so much I can learn from you. Hestia (Hestia_0069): Come on now, I've nothing much to teach. You seem a recluse much the same as I, besides, although a looker still. But it's been nice to have made your acquaintance. HestiaGift03 Melinoe (Melinoe_0953): Great Hestia, goddess of hearth and flame! May your spark burn always as brightly. You've helped me so much on my way! Hestia (Hestia_0070): Why, thank you for that, dearie, you're too kind. Mortals were so convinced I only liked {#Emph}burnt {#Prev}offerings, they never gave me good stuff such as this. HestiaGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2244): A tribute for dear Lady Hestia! Your bright flames are a guiding light, and bane to all our enemies. Though your keen wisdom and fiery spirit spur me on at least as much! Hestia (Hestia_0159): No use buttering me up, you know. What, you think I'm going to withhold the best I've got unless you pay me some nice compliment? I can be petty, sure, but not {#Emph}that {#Prev}petty! HestiaGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2245): If I'm to take another Boon of yours, Great Aunt, I bid you take another offering of Nectar from me! How you can carry yourself with such ease inspires me. If I could become more like you some ages hence, I would be very fortunate. Hestia (Hestia_0160): You want to be like {#Emph}me? {#Prev}Now {#Emph}that's {#Prev}a first! What I wouldn't give to turn back time and have another go at things, knowing what I do now. Though come to think, we plan to turn back Time, don't we? HestiaGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2246): Grand Auntie Hestia! More and more I wonder what would it have been like if you were always in my life. Perhaps I would have grown up quicker of wit? Or happier! May we yet get to know each other like we knew each other all along! Hestia (Hestia_0161): I never wanted kids, you know, dearie. And you're not about to make me second-guess what's more than probably the smartest choice I ever made, mouthing off to me the way you did just then! Now {#Emph}take {#Prev}your blasted Boon and off with you! HestiaGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4346): It must have been you who inspired me to make a warm and happy home, Great-Auntie! This Ambrosia, in turn, is for sharing with all those who make your own home feel safe and comforting, the way I feel whenever you call. Hestia (Hestia_0241): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}this is right sweet of you, dearie, and you're on to something there! So many want to be famous or successful and such, but to be safe and comfortable? Nothing beats that, and I know you know. {#Emph}May you be always. HestiaLegendaryPickUp01 Hestia (Hestia_0057): Even I'll admit the quaint crackle of the hearth just doesn't always do the job. Sometimes, what we need is a great big conflagration, an inferno of the highest order! How about one, then? HestiaLegendaryPickUp02 Hestia (Hestia_0058): The hearth is at the center of the mortal household, dearie, keeping my flames comfortably in place. But I can make a wildfire in a {#Emph}snap! {#Prev}And when I get angry, that's {#Emph}exactly {#Prev}what I do. HestiaLootBought01 Hestia (Hestia_0121): You must have had an excess of those golden coins that Chronos strewed across the land. To tempt the greediest of mortals, I suppose! Or the poorest. Not for me to judge! HestiaLootBought02 Hestia (Hestia_0122): That Boatman's good at taking messages, isn't he? Almost like taking corpses down into the Underworld like he used to. {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, nothing to do for those these days... except to {#Emph}burn! HestiaLootBought03 Hestia (Hestia_0123): You really have to pay that Charon character in these situations! What sort of daft system is {#Emph}that? {#Prev}What, no blessings for the poor? Doesn't seem fair at all. HestiaLootBought04 Hestia (Hestia_0124): My blessing made it all that way on just a rickety old wooden ferryboat? Must be a litany of fire-safety hazards there, although plenty of water near with which to put them out. HestiaLootBought05 Hestia (Hestia_0168): What, that ferryman having a fire sale there? Don't want you paying an exorbitant amount! Not that there ought to be a price on blessings, anyhow. HestiaLowHealth01 Hestia (Hestia_0071): Oh, dearie, you look {#Emph}terrible{#Prev}, what happened to you there? Well maybe you can sweat it out or something. Would that I could cauterize your wounds! HestiaLowHealth02 Hestia (Hestia_0072): {#Emph}Tsk, ooh{#Prev}, you've had more than a scrape or two, there, haven't you? {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, such is life! Bite down and press on through, that's how we end up in a better spot. HestiaLowHealth03 Hestia (Hestia_0166): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, looks to me like you've been through a {#Emph}lot! {#Prev}Well if you find yourself in a bad place, you just push on through! Or go scorched-earth on everything around you if you must. HestiaLowHealth04 Hestia (Hestia_0167): Oh dearie, if you're all banged up from head to toe like this, then you're in no shape for the next stage of our little firefight! So pull yourself together, {#Emph}eh? HestiaMakeUp01 Hestia (Hestia_0135): That there is what I call the {#Emph}first {#Prev}degree. Like letting you off with a {#Emph}little {#Prev}warning! HestiaMakeUp02 Hestia (Hestia_0136): I like you, dearie. So I'm not going to turn you to ash {#Emph}this {#Prev}time. But later down the line, no guarantees. HestiaMakeUp03 Hestia (Hestia_0267): So you got yourself a slap on the wrist! Might want to pour some nice cool water over that. HestiaMakeUp04 Hestia (Hestia_0138): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, you're all right, and {#Emph}I {#Prev}am now all right, so I suppose that {#Emph}everything's {#Prev}all right. HestiaMakeUp05 Hestia (Hestia_0139): Fine, no need to get all hot and bothered for too long about this sort of thing. So let's just carry on! HestiaMakeUp06 Hestia (Hestia_0140): Got just a little steamed back there, but I am back to my usual quite irritable self, thank you! HestiaMakeUp07 Hestia (Hestia_0141): Well, there we go again! You know they take me for the calm and peaceful one around here? HestiaMakeUp08 Hestia (Hestia_0142): Play with fire and you get yourself burned! It's just as simple as that unless I say otherwise. HestiaMakeUp09 Hestia (Hestia_0143): All right, all right, let's just cool off a bit before these flames of mine get {#Emph}way {#Prev}out of control... HestiaMakeUp10 Hestia (Hestia_0144): I like a lass who knows how to snap back! Don't ever let anybody up here push you around. HestiaPostEpilogue01 Hestia (Hestia_0237): You found those little weaver-sisters did you now? Just when I thought they'd left the lot of us for good! Don't quite know what to make of their new prophecy, but time eventually will always tell with those. HestiaPostEpilogue02 Hestia (Hestia_0252): When all of this is over, I am liable to keep on wandering about I think. See how the mortals and the world are faring, can't do that as easily from on high. Olympus can be nice to visit but I never wanted to live here myself. HestiaPostGift01 Hestia (Hestia_0039): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, I like a girl who's ready to gird up her loins, get her hands dirty and the like. Too many just waiting for someone to clean their messes for them, blast it all. Speaking of, why don't you go and do some {#Emph}blasting {#Prev}for me, eh? HestiaPostGift02 Hestia (Hestia_0074): We've burned bright on Olympus I don't know how long already, dearie. Suppose our time has come and gone? Mayhaps we're more like mortals than we care to admit. Well, whatever doom awaits, I welcome it! HestiaPostGift03 Hestia (Hestia_0075): You really are an odd one, hot stuff. At first I thought you were a little stuck up, much like some others whom I happen to know only too well. But you truly are committed to righting this wrong from before your time, aren't ya? HestiaPostTrueEnding01 Hestia (Hestia_0225): What's gotten into Chronos, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}One moment it's the same-old same-old war, and then the next, he shows up on our mountain all contrite! I know you witches can be serious but this was well past what I reckoned you could do! HestiaPostTrueEnding02 Hestia (Hestia_0226): I got so worked up I didn't properly congratulate you last time, dearie! Bless you for everything! You found us in the middle of a real mess and got us out. Sure we helped and all, but you did the cooking, and you did it good. HestiaRejection01 Hestia (Hestia_0125): Has old Hecate not taught you to respect the elderly a little more than {#Emph}that? {#Prev}Well, here's a quick lesson for ya! HestiaRejection02 Hestia (Hestia_0126): Won't do for all the rest taking old Hestia for a pushover in matters such as this. So I've got to burn you up a bit! HestiaRejection03 Hestia (Hestia_0127): Don't want my blessings while they're good and hot, do ya? Then {#Emph}this {#Prev}ought to warm you up in the meantime. HestiaRejection04 Hestia (Hestia_0128): Not really mad at you, dearie! But I don't have the energy right now to go against the daft traditions that we have. HestiaRejection05 Hestia (Hestia_0129): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, a right good burn like that deserves another. Only fair, don't you agree, hot stuff? HestiaRejection06 Hestia (Hestia_0130): Just look at the {#Emph}bickering{#Prev}, sorry mess we've become! But we've all got to pull our weight, don't we? HestiaRejection07 Hestia (Hestia_0131): Here I was trying to lend a helping hand, but {#Emph}no! {#Prev}Somebody's always getting in my way. Well I {#Emph}won't {#Prev}have it! HestiaRejection08 Hestia (Hestia_0132): Come on now, even mortals know it's best to honor dear old Hestia first and foremost when it comes to such things! HestiaRejection09 Hestia (Hestia_0133): Gave up the Boon of Hestia, did ya? Well then how about a quick reminder of the proper way to make a sacrifice! HestiaRejection10 Hestia (Hestia_0134): Try as I might, I cannot help feeling a little miffed at that! And I am not someone to simply let it slide... HestiaRejection11 Hestia (Hestia_0264): Now where do you get off picking one of my younger sisters over me, {#Emph}eh? HestiaRunStart01 Hestia (Hestia_0077): Why hello, dearie, getting ready for your next excursion, there? You're just a glowing ember for the moment, so how about we get you good and fired up? HestiaRunStart02 Hestia (Hestia_0117): Now don't go wandering into the dark without a proper light! And I don't mean the kind Apollo's offering, although mayhaps I'd settle for the Moon. Anyhow, no matter, {#Emph}here! HestiaRunStart03 Hestia (Hestia_0118): Think you can slip right out of there this late without my noticing? Well, typically you can, but not this time! And your punishment is a fine selection of hearth-warming Boons! HestiaRunStartSurface01 Hestia (Hestia_0120): So, headed up this way again? Won't be hearing any arguments from me! Not sure you can hear me at all down there, come to think. Anyhow, let's get you {#Emph}all warmed up! HestiaRunStartUnderworld01 Hestia (Hestia_0119): You must live somewhere 'round those parts, don't you, dearie? Well, since it seems a little cold out there tonight, why don't we make some {#Emph}temperature adjustments {#Prev}here... HestiaSurfaceRunCleared01 Hestia (Hestia_0194): You helped us {#Emph}beat {#Prev}that bloody monster {#Emph}down! Ah{#Prev}, if only I could have seen! You're really something else, hot stuff! Of course our good friend Typhon's already begun on his climb back up. We'll just have to make it extra tough for him... HestiaSurfaceRunCleared02 Hestia (Hestia_0115): Regards for helping clear the air a bit up here! Bought us a little moment to recover and regroup. Now everybody's all fired up again to break the siege! {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, but listen to me! All about the warring like the rest of them... HestiaSurfaceRunCleared03 Hestia (Hestia_0227): So let me see if I understand: Though you rid us of Typhon, you are now supposed to hunt down what remains of him, somewhere out of this bloody world? {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}you can't catch a proper {#Emph}break{#Prev}, hot stuff! But I have got your back. HestiaUnderworldRunCleared01 Hestia (Hestia_0113): They're saying that you gave him one from all of us! Chronos, that is. A right proper old fashioned {#Emph}beating{#Prev}, that is! Must have felt all warm and cozy, didn't it? Makes you want to do it again and {#Emph}again! HestiaUnderworldRunCleared02 Hestia (Hestia_0114): You got that bloody Titan, didn't ya? Don't feel too bad you couldn't end him altogether, not like any of the rest of us were able to, as you can plainly see. Instead, mayhaps go kick him while he's {#Emph}down! {#Prev}Happy to help with {#Emph}that! HestiaUnderworldRunCleared03 Hestia (Hestia_0229): We've relegated Chronos to a cushy job down in the Isles of the Blessed, how nice for him, I get that. But you're still working with him to fight him to stop him from rising to power, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}Well I suppose I get that, too! HestiaUpgrade.BlindBoxOpenedVoiceLines Hestia (Hestia_0081): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, there she is! Hestia (Hestia_0082): Auntie Hestia's arrived! Hestia (Hestia_0083): What's cooking?

Not like Aphrodite here is going to let you hold to them forever. She doesn't care for competition, you can trust me on that. Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0147): Sweet Hestia, whatever do you {#Emph}mean? {#Prev}I'll be the first to admit looks aren't {#Emph}everything. {#Prev}Who even needs them? But on the other hand, we're blessed to have someone of such vast wisdom and experience as {#Emph}you {#Prev}here on our side! HestiaWithApollo01 Hestia (Hestia_0151): All right, dearie, let's get a real fire going! No more fussing about merely with sparks and such. Oh, {#Emph}Apollo? {#Prev}Get your buttocks over here right now, 'cause I could use a light! Apollo (Apollo_0096): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, right away, dear Lady Hestia! Though, might we please take more precaution not to burn down half the mountaintop this time...? HestiaWithAres01 Hestia (Hestia_0204): We put poor mortals through an awful lot, no thanks to Ares here. Least he's been occupied with our own troubles for a change, haven't you, laddie? That way most everybody else can catch a break. Ares (Ares_0161): But dearest Lady Hestia, our troubles are of grave concern to more than mortalkind! Ours is a conflict of the highest order, and irresistibly draws each of us to do our part. HestiaWithDemeter01 Hestia (Hestia_0153): Would you believe it, hot stuff? I have on good authority that {#Emph}somebody {#Prev}around here's laid a claim to being {#Emph}Eldest of Olympus. {#Prev}Oh, Demeter? Care to explain {#Emph}that {#Prev}one? Demeter (Demeter_0110): Hestia, you had {#Emph}abandoned {#Prev}us! To be an Olympian is not merely a birthright, but a {#Emph}pledge; {#Prev}both to this family, and this mountain. Restore your rightful status, and join me now to aid my granddaughter! HestiaWithHephaestus01 Hestia (Hestia_0157): If there's one thing I learned from my strong-armed nephew here, dearie, it's that you always have to strike while the iron's still hot. Now {#Emph}come {#Prev}on, {#Emph}hop {#Prev}to it, Hephaestus my lad! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0134): I'm hoppin', I'm hoppin', Lady, {#Emph}augh! {#Prev}Though if you keep on turning up the heat in here, then this whole {#Emph}forge {#Prev}is going to blow, and take the rest of the damn mountain with it, {#Emph}too! {#Prev}And what would witchie have to fight for then? HestiaWithHera01 Hestia (Hestia_0147): Not always big on family business, though I take exception for my little sis. She of all goddesses has to put up with the most around here, and that's not even counting all this Chronos stuff. How do you manage it, {#Emph}O Queen? Hera (Hera_0106): I manage it one evening at a time is how, Sister! Perhaps we shall have to burn the old world down and start anew, but... I can think of {#Emph}none {#Prev}more suited, should the need arise. HestiaWithPoseidon01 Hestia (Hestia_0149): Take our blessings but {#Emph}don't {#Prev}follow our example's what I say, dearie. A case in point's fish-faced Poseidon over here! Always trying hard to make a splash, {#Emph}never {#Prev}caring much who ends up getting wet. That about right, you big oaf? Poseidon (Poseidon_0274): Quite on the contrary, dear Hestia! You're wrong at least on two accounts I think: First, I need never {#Emph}try hard {#Prev}to make a splash! I effortlessly do it every time. And second, don't you call me {#Emph}fish-faced{#Prev}, you mean wrinkly old hag, {#Emph}ha-hah! HestiaWithZeus01 Hestia (Hestia_0145): In olden days I never took strapping young Zeus here for the marrying type, and was none too pleased when he picked my poor sister Hera for the job! But you've been a right good husband to her, haven't you, Zeus? Zeus (Zeus_0164): ...I sometimes pity you, Hestia, for never having known the joys of matrimony for yourself. Challenges arise in any such relationship, but together with your beloved partner, you find a way! All you must do is compromise and cooperate.

I wasn't sure how long it was going to last, and wanted you to make the most of it. Icarus (Icarus_0388): That was the greatest night of my existence. It was so wonderful to feel alive with you, and then the wind and the sea! At first I thought the cold was making me numb, but it was just the Draught wearing off. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4047): I'm glad. I was concerned I may have hurt you once again. What we have... may not be everything you want. But it means a lot to me, and it's all I can give. Icarus (Icarus_0389): It means a lot to me, too. And you've given me more than I ever could have dreamed... so how about a nice Hammer as a means of making it up to you, hey? IcarusAboutCharybdis01 Icarus (Icarus_0399): You must have seen Charybdis out there, massive whirlpool-nightmare-octopus-type thing? I've seen it swallow ships like {#Emph}this. {#Prev}I don't fly anywhere close! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4034): I'm not so fortunate to have that option, and some nights, I've little choice but to confront Charybdis face-to... probably a face? Could use your aid if you decide to take the risk. Icarus (Icarus_0400): Oh, {#Emph}absolutely {#Prev}not. I said I'd follow you into the sun, Meli, but Charybdis, no. My fear of flying was one thing, my fear of octopuses is another. IcarusAboutChronosBossW01 Icarus (Icarus_0064): Something happened since the last time you were here... these ships, one after another they all {#Emph}sank! {#Prev}Never seen these waters so calm. {#Emph}Did you...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2151): Did I reach Chronos in my father's House and slay him? Yes. And, did he then reconstitute himself, perhaps entirely negating whatever I achieved? Also, yes. Icarus (Icarus_0065): I always knew you'd get him, Meli. Well as you can see, his risen fleet has risen once again! Though, sounds to me like you've found one of its weaknesses! IcarusAboutCirce01 Icarus (Icarus_0154): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, you've {#Emph}erm, uh... {#Prev}grown! A bit... I mean... I'm not imagining it, am I, hey? Since normally I don't quite have to crane my neck this much to look at you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3095): Just a bit of magick, courtesy of Circe the Enchantress. A temporary boost of strength, though with what seems to be a noticeable side effect... Icarus (Icarus_0155): It's not a bad thing, I just couldn't help but notice...! And now I'm staring... and now, I'm going to stop. Here you go. IcarusAboutCirce02 Icarus (Icarus_0156): What happened to you, Meli, you're so {#Emph}small! {#Prev}Not that you're usually {#Emph}big{#Prev}, I mean, I mean... you've always been just right, but normally you're... just forget I spoke? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3096): It's all right, Icarus. You must be noticing the work of Circe the Enchantress, who provided one of her protective blessings for the night. Is the effect really that noticeable? Icarus (Icarus_0157): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}No, it really isn't! {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, I just... tend to notice the little things, I mean I notice details — of all sizes! Anyway, I like it. Not that that matters. Here! Let me get you on your way. IcarusAboutCrossroads01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3634): Icarus, I want you to come back. To the Crossroads. You want to aid our efforts here, you'll do an even better job of it if you're in contact with Odysseus and all our Shades. Icarus (Icarus_0390): Not sure that everybody feels the same, Meli. I've been able to make do here on my own, and don't do well in crowds. Maybe from living in a prison tower all my life. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3635): But we could see each other more? And it's really not that crowded there, is it? Just give the possibility some thought... Icarus (Icarus_0391): All right, all right, I will. Give it some thought, that is. But if I show up and the Witch of the Crossroads turns me into the Shade of a newt or something, it'll be on your conscience. IcarusAboutCrossroads02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3636): I was so pleased to see that you decided to come back! How was it at the Crossroads after all this time? Icarus (Icarus_0392): A bit uncomfortable at first, but then you showed up. And it was great to see Master Odysseus again, gave me a few flight path ideas. I didn't overstay did I...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3637): No, not at all! Well, if you didn't mind it there, then I hope you'll return. And perhaps start to think of it again as a place to stay, not just a place to go. Icarus (Icarus_0393): It's called the Crossroads, Meli, I never considered it could be a place to stay! Hey... cheers for giving me a push. IcarusAboutDaedalus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2147): How fares your father, by the way? You've no idea how happy I am to find Daedalus Hammers out there... I never see him around, so can never thank him in person. Icarus (Icarus_0034): {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}I'll be sure to send him your regards when next I happen to run into him, though it's been a little while. I'm glad his Hammers have been of some use. Have another? IcarusAboutDaedalus02 Icarus (Icarus_0035): You asked about my father the other night... and truth is, though you probably already know, I never see him around either. I think he might have retired! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2148): Daedalus, {#Emph}retired? {#Prev}I just found one of his Hammers earlier! He's been of constant help to me since all this started, he... wait... {#Emph}what...? Icarus (Icarus_0036): Meli, I'm his apprentice! He'd been building for a long time and needed a break. I'm nowhere near him but it's not like there was anybody else.... The Hammers come in handy though? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2149): Stop, you're hurting my head. The {#Emph}Daedalus Hammers {#Prev}I've been finding are from {#Emph}you? {#Prev}Shouldn't they be {#Emph}Icarus {#Prev}Hammers then? Icarus (Icarus_0037): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, we have a certain reputation to uphold. Not sure slapping my name on my father's designs would do us any good. Please... don't go telling anyone about this, hey? IcarusAboutDaedalus03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2154): You made your own wings, munitions, apparently the latest Daedalus Hammers... you've become quite the craftsman! Icarus (Icarus_0070): Come on, Meli. My father was a master by the time he was my age, even before I died. I'll never surpass him. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2155): That's not what I've said. Your work is your own, and it's good! Better than good. When are you finally going to step out from your father's shadow? Icarus (Icarus_0071): Funny question coming from you! My father may not be a god... but he's probably the greatest artist and inventor that ever lived. He'd be the first to say I'll never reach his level. Anyway, I'm through trying to prove myself to him. IcarusAboutDaedalus04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3098): How is it that you know so much about all the Nocturnal Arms, to have devised so many custom Hammer tune-ups you've conveniently left for me? The Arms of Night are a closely guarded secret with little room for improvement. Icarus (Icarus_0160): My father worked for yours, remember? Came up with the interlocking chambers of the Underworld and so on? He must have earned a lot of trust... and learned a lot of secrets. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3099): And then he shared those secrets with his apprentice who supposedly can never live up to his lofty expectations? Icarus (Icarus_0161): If you're insinuating that I likewise earned my father's trust... fear not! When it comes to the Nocturnal Arms, I {#Emph}may {#Prev}have snooped around his notes and blueprints just a bit... IcarusAboutDaedalus05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4042): I only met my father rather recently in all of this... I thought Headmistress could be stern, but so is he. No big surprise considering the tales, but still. Perhaps your father took some inspiration from him. Icarus (Icarus_0456): I almost envy you, not having known your father for too long. Once I was working with a Hammer of my father's, broke it like a dolt, called it a failed experiment. {#Emph}No, you're the failed experiment{#Prev}, he said. He was always so calm. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4043): Icarus, that's horrid. And he clearly couldn't have meant it. You're his apprentice! Your work bears the Daedalus name. Icarus (Icarus_0457): I think my father loves me, in his way, he's just better with inventions than words. I'm sure yours is different. {#Emph}The god of the dead! {#Prev}He must be tough, hey? IcarusAboutEris01 Icarus (Icarus_0068): The other night, I saw these huge black wings on the horizon; definitely {#Emph}not {#Prev}a Harpy. Could have sworn it was bloody Eris... but, wasn't she still at the Crossroads, with you? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2153): Well, I'm not at the Crossroads either, but... unfortunately Strife Incarnate has been getting in my way. So she showed up around the time I did? Icarus (Icarus_0069): Come to think of it, yes! {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}I was beginning to worry she was here because of something {#Emph}I {#Prev}did! Never occurred to me she was just following {#Emph}you {#Prev}around, same as ever. IcarusAboutEris02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4031): You shouldn't let Eris boss you around, you know. I overheard you chatting at the Crossroads. She's all talk... especially {#Emph}there{#Prev}, where her Rail of Adamant won't work. Icarus (Icarus_0395): Easy for you to say, you're immortal like she is. We Shades know better than to stand up to the deathless gods. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4032): You don't shrivel up in {#Emph}my {#Prev}presence. You're not a coward, Icarus. So why let Strife get the better of you? Icarus (Icarus_0396): I figure there's already enough conflict at the moment. Eris doesn't really get to me. I just don't mind letting her think she does. Not like she's the goddess of wisdom, hey? IcarusAboutFlying01 Icarus (Icarus_0028): Been flying for a while now! At first, it brought me back to the terror I felt as a kid. Those final moments... I wanted to put myself through them, again and again. Don't know why. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2012): Icarus, you were young and you made a mistake. What's the use torturing yourself for it for all eternity? I thought you wanted to learn to fly to prove yourself to your father. Icarus (Icarus_0029): Come on, Meli. I'm never going to prove myself to him. But something happened as I kept trying to use my wings... I, I started to like it! Seeing from a different point of view. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2013): You look so in your element up there! I always believed, if I could make you whole again, perhaps some night we'd learn to fly together. I still want to feel what it's like. Icarus (Icarus_0030): You've no idea know how much I wanted that too. But, it was something I had to do on my own. I'd offer to take you up with me now, but... yeah, Shades and goddesses don't mix. IcarusAboutFlying01_B Icarus (Icarus_0028): Been flying for a while now! At first, it brought me back to the terror I felt as a kid. Those final moments... I wanted to put myself through them, again and again. Don't know why. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2012): Icarus, you were young and you made a mistake. What's the use torturing yourself for it for all eternity? I thought you wanted to learn to fly to prove yourself to your father. Icarus (Icarus_0029): Come on, Meli. I'm never going to prove myself to him. But something happened as I kept trying to use my wings... I, I started to like it! Seeing from a different point of view. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2013_B): You look so in your element up there! I always believed, if I could make you whole again, perhaps some night we'd fly together... Icarus (Icarus_0030): You've no idea know how much I wanted that too. But, it was something I had to do on my own. I'd offer to take you up with me now, but... yeah, Shades and goddesses don't mix. IcarusAboutFlying02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2015): You know, you've changed. You seem... more full of life. I catch these glimpses of your face while you're in flight, and... it's like there's a joy in you I never saw before. Icarus (Icarus_0032): {#Emph}Heh{#Prev}, well... there's the flying, which admittedly doesn't get old... and then there's seeing you, taking on the legions of Chronos single-handedly. Using all your training. {#Emph}Wow... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2016): I didn't take them on single-handedly, Icarus, but... it's good to know about the flying! It must be exhilarating. Icarus (Icarus_0033): It is, Meli. You could always see right through me so no point in trying to sell it short. I hope some night you'll get a shot at it and tell me what you think. IcarusAboutFlying02_B Melinoe (MelinoeField_2015): You know, you've changed. You seem... more full of life. I catch these glimpses of your face while you're in flight, and... it's like there's a joy in you I never saw before. Icarus (Icarus_0032): {#Emph}Heh{#Prev}, well... there's the flying, which admittedly doesn't get old... and then there's seeing you, taking on the legions of Chronos single-handedly. Using all your training. {#Emph}Wow... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2016): I didn't take them on single-handedly, Icarus, but... it's good to know about the flying! It must be exhilarating. Icarus (Icarus_0033_B): It is, Meli. You could always see right through me so no point in trying to sell it short. IcarusAboutFlying03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2150): If you love flying so much, why do you keep helping me? Once my father's throne is restored, the gates of the Underworld will shut, and you'll be forced to return. Icarus (Icarus_0063): I know. I would miss flying, sure. But, I think I could live without it if I had to — {#Emph}exist {#Prev}without it, you know what I mean. My plan is just to make the most of it, for now. We mortals are taught to believe nothing lasts forever anyway. IcarusAboutFlying04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4051): I meant to tell you, Icarus, I finally got to fly! With great Selene and her moonlit steeds. I certainly see the appeal, and I didn't even get to steer the chariot. Icarus (Icarus_0430): Wait you were all the way up {#Emph}there? {#Prev}That's {#Emph}amazing! {#Prev}The Moon herself, giving you a ride across the sky. I've thought maybe if {#Emph}I {#Prev}could just fly a bit higher, I could reach her myself, but, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}I talked myself down. IcarusAboutFrogFamiliar01 Icarus (Icarus_0158): Is that...? {#Emph}No. {#Prev}That's really Frinos with you, isn't it? All he used to do was sit there happily! Or sadly, I could never tell. And now he's in the middle of all this... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3097): This is indeed the one and only! I never knew he had it in him either, till Headmistress let me in on more of her secrets to working with Familiars. Icarus (Icarus_0159): I always thought Familiars were just pets! Well, Frinos? It's good to see you again, mate. {#Emph}Keep Meli safe, will you...? IcarusAboutHammers01 Icarus (Icarus_0409): You should see how many inventions of mine don't work out even the slightest bit. I know some are better than others, but {#Emph}these {#Prev}are the best of the best. You have my guarantee. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4039): I suppose it must be helpful to have someone such as me willing to test them out for you. No way of knowing if they're any good until they're put to real use, presumably? Icarus (Icarus_0410): {#Emph} {#Prev}You're not testing them, Meli! My Hammers all go through {#Emph}extremely {#Prev}rigorous evaluation to earn the Daedalus name. But if you have any notes, let me know. IcarusAboutHeracles01 Icarus (Icarus_0403): I could have sworn I saw the hero Heracles the other night...! Launching himself from one ship to the next, crushing deathless sailors with his club! I flew well clear of {#Emph}him. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4035): You probably saw true. Olympus has him fighting back the Titan's legions and his fleet. We've worked together on occasion but he's kept me at arm's length... Icarus (Icarus_0404): You worked with {#Emph}Heracles? Oh{#Prev}, if only I could meet him for myself sometime...! But I don't even know what I would say. {#Emph}Hey! I'm like everybody else who thinks you're great! IcarusAboutHeracles02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4036): I had a passing chance to mention you to Heracles. Unfortunately he's not keen on meeting anyone unless he's out to kill them for the gods, but... he seemed to know of you. Icarus (Icarus_0405): {#Emph}What? {#Prev}How could he possibly...? {#Emph}He's {#Prev}the famous one! You sure he didn't mention Daedalus instead of me? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4037): He mentioned Daedalus, too, because... apparently he saw your final moments when you fell. I think, from what he said... he dove into the sea to find your body. To bury you. Icarus (Icarus_0406): To {#Emph}bury {#Prev}me, but I... always wondered how I got here, as my memory is murky then. But I was buried by great Heracles himself! {#Emph}Incredible! {#Prev}Tell him I, I said {#Emph}cheers{#Prev}, hey? IcarusAboutHeracles03 Icarus (Icarus_0407): So how is the mighty Heracles lately? I'm half surprised the legions of the Titan got as far as they did knowing he's out there fighting for the gods. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4038): {#Emph}How is Heracles{#Prev}, that's difficult for me to say. I've never seen so fierce a warrior, but he's very guarded, too. When I told him you said cheers, he grunted; that was it. Icarus (Icarus_0408): He grunted... about {#Emph}me. {#Prev}And he knows who I am! {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, thank you, Meli, that's amazing news! I'm sure all he needs is a little rest, hey? IcarusAboutHiddenAspects01 Icarus (Icarus_0415): I knew the Nocturnal Arms could take on many different forms, but to see them like {#Emph}this... {#Prev}you must have done something to earn their favor, hey? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4030): I suppose? Either that or the Arms just want me to keep using them for now, in one Aspect or another. Say, how can your Hammers still work even if the Arms change shape? Icarus (Icarus_0416): I make sure of it, that's why! And seeing different Aspects put to use always gives me plenty of ideas. IcarusAboutKeepsake01 Icarus (Icarus_0076): You brought along the little Hammer from me, hey? First one I ever made! First that was any good, at least. Sort of a funny process, making things for making things... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2158): Icarus, how could you give me this? You should hold onto it, as a reminder of how far you've come as a creator. I would have figured this to be one of your father's masterworks...! Icarus (Icarus_0077): It's much more special in your care than mine. Creating tools that others can use to reach new heights... that's how I reach them myself. You're doing me a solid here, Meli! IcarusAboutKeepsake02 Icarus (Icarus_0397): Been getting use from that old Hammer of mine, hey? I thought maybe you'd stash it somewhere it would gather dust. It's earned a break from everything I put it through! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4033): Wait you {#Emph}don't {#Prev}want me using it like this? If your intent was that it gather dust from the environment, then I think some sort of fur-lined surface would make it much more effective. Icarus (Icarus_0398): No, no, I think the way you're using it is great. Seems like the charm on it is even stronger than it used to be! I'm just glad it's been of any help. IcarusAboutMelinoe01 Icarus (Icarus_0025_D): Your arm...! Never got better, did it? I'm really sorry, I should never have put you on the spot. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2010): Not your fault. I had... grown very confident in my abilities. Headmistress always said there was no way to make Shades whole again, but I thought otherwise. Overextended, learned a lesson I'm not going to forget. Icarus (Icarus_0026): I felt so bad... couldn't look at anybody in the Crossroads anymore. Thought I'd never see you again. That it'd be for the best. I... had a lot I needed to sort out. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2011): And how did it go? You learned to fly, at least! Top of your list of fears, conquered. With your father's wings, no less! Icarus (Icarus_0027): These wings are mine, Meli. That was all part of it. Had to learn to do things for myself, like you did. And for what it's worth, I think your arm looks amazing. Now, here. IcarusAboutOdysseus01 Icarus (Icarus_0074): How's everybody back at the Crossroads lately, hey? Master Odysseus putting all his plans to action at long last? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2157): Oh, yes. My route through here is thanks only to him. Say, he didn't put you up to this, did he? Deploying Shades with makeshift wings and explosives seems like something the Great Tactician would do... Icarus (Icarus_0075): I'm acting on my own. Although maybe we're all part of the Great Tactician's plan and just don't realize it yet. He always said we'll have to improvise... might be I finally took it to heart. IcarusAboutOlympus01 Icarus (Icarus_0148): Fancy meeting you up here! I used to never fly anywhere near this place but noticed somewhat fewer Harpies and Automaton defenses... and, well, {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Going all right so far? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3092): Going better than before now thanks to you. So what do you think? Does the mountain of the gods live up to everything you imagined? Icarus (Icarus_0149): Mostly, yes... considering mortals living or otherwise were never meant to see Olympus in all its glory. I'd rather see you anyway, Meli. Here, something for the rest of your climb. IcarusAboutOlympus02 Icarus (Icarus_0434): Not been as stormy on this mountain anymore, but is your family {#Emph}really {#Prev}going to tolerate all these Satyrs and things continuing to desecrate their home? Seems unlike them... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4054): They're leading me to Typhon, Icarus... some scattered remnant of him beyond time. We're working with Grandfather on a cleanup effort, you could say. Icarus (Icarus_0435): {#Emph}Grandfather{#Prev}, y-you mean bloody {#Emph}Chronos? {#Prev}And, you're saying Typhon still {#Emph}exists? {#Prev}What happened to him being gone, I mean, I've seen no sign of him. This must be one of those things that's beyond mortal understanding, hey? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4055): I don't yet entirely understand it either... there's a lot we don't know about time and how it works, though we're learning, slowly. Icarus (Icarus_0436): Don't see what's so complicated about it. Time drags on when things are bad, goes too quick when things are good. Though I'm still learning how to deal with that myself. IcarusAboutPrometheus01 Icarus (Icarus_0146): I saw huge plumes of fire shooting from the summit of Olympus recently. Thought the whole mountain was erupting! But on closer inspection, it was you! Fighting someone. And then some deranged eagle chased me off. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3091): That was Prometheus the Titan and his pet. He's turned against the gods, and is personally leading the siege of Olympus. Claims to know the future, and to fight for mortalkind... using the flames he stole from my family. Icarus (Icarus_0147): I didn't realize he'd broken free. What do mortals have to do with this whole feud with Chronos, anyhow? I thought all he wanted was his vengeance! Probably Prometheus as well... IcarusAboutPrometheus02 Icarus (Icarus_0150): Sorry I'm late! Had a run-in with an eagle on the way. Maybe if I had a liver still I could offer it a bite and we'd become fast friends... worked for Prometheus apparently. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3093): Beloved by birds as well as mortals. Though you don't seem to have much fondness for Prometheus yourself. Perhaps his affection for mortals isn't always reciprocated. Icarus (Icarus_0151): Well, I mean... we've never met! When I was whole, we worshiped gods, not Titans. And Prometheus angered the gods, so... look, if you don't like him, that's enough for me. IcarusAboutPrometheus03 Icarus (Icarus_0401): Some Shades back at the Crossroads, they were going on about Prometheus lately. Some of them seem to like him, more than Chronos anyway. Must be real charming, hey? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4048): I wouldn't say that, but he's very caught up in his cause. To let himself be tortured for the sake of mortalkind... full knowing that most mortals would never realize or care. Icarus (Icarus_0402): Sounds a bit like a sob story to me. If he knew everything how come he let himself get caught? The gods probably would have given mortals fire anyway! IcarusAboutRavenFamiliar01 Icarus (Icarus_0413): Going to introduce me to your other winged companion over there? Looks like a raven though I've never seen one {#Emph}quite {#Prev}like that before... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4041): Oh, right, pardon my rudeness both of you! Icarus, this is Raki, my Familiar. Raki, this is Icarus, my friend! You two are birds of a feather. Icarus (Icarus_0414): Well! Pleased to meet you, then, Raki. Know that I'll be studying your flight technique, since I'm always finding mine can still improve. IcarusAboutReturning01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2014): You said yourself you're not supposed to be here, Icarus. Chronos may have flung open the Underworld gates, but your place is still below with us. Come back. Icarus (Icarus_0031): ...I always messed everything up, you know. I just want to be useful to someone, for once! So please... let me stay here. Let me have this! IcarusAboutReturning02 Icarus (Icarus_0072): The wretches on these ships don't have their wits, but they hit hard. I, I know you're good and everything, {#Emph}better {#Prev}than good, it's just... if things go bad... what happens to you then? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2156): The first thing Headmistress taught me was how not to give in. If my strength is failing me, I use it to return to shadow whence I came. Almost a reflex at this point. Icarus (Icarus_0073): And then at the Crossroads, you're up and about by the following night, raring to go? Too bad you can't return-to-shadow back to where you left off... IcarusAboutSayingLittle01 Icarus (Icarus_0481): I like this routine we've got going here, Meli! I feel like I could keep doing this forever. We've become ruthlessly efficient... don't even need to chitchat anymore. IcarusAboutSurfaceCurse01 Icarus (Icarus_0066): Wait, what are you even {#Emph}doing {#Prev}here? I thought you were supposed to be bound to the Underworld, but here you are, commandeering warships and whatnot! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2152): I am still bound there, I just loosened the bindings a bit. Though I feel absolutely wretched now, so if the legions of Chronos don't stop me soon, my blood-curse surely will. Icarus (Icarus_0067): Really? Because you look great! {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, you look... you look {#Emph}well{#Prev}, I mean. Unafflicted by a curse of any sort. Maybe a little seasick is all! Just... take one of these, hey? IcarusAboutTimePassing01 Icarus (Icarus_0162): Been some nights since we last did this hasn't it, Meli? I figured you'd show up soon enough, though... unless maybe Chronos finally got you or something terrible like that? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3100): If you were truly worried for me, thank you, Icarus... but also don't do that. The concern does us no good; if you're distracted, you can't fight the Titan's legions to the fullest. Icarus (Icarus_0163): Oh, it's all right, I get distracted all the time! Except when I'm at work, or in the sky. Which, not coincidentally, are the two things that keep me busy recently! IcarusAboutTyphon01 Icarus (Icarus_0139): There's some catastrophic storm brewing at the top of Olympus. Can't get anywhere near it. What's happening up there...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3087): That storm conceals the real threat. Chronos awakened the Father of All Monsters and set him loose. These forces we're fighting... they're just a stalling tactic and a feint. Icarus (Icarus_0140): You're saying that's bloody {#Emph}Typhon? {#Prev}Oh, gods... since I was young I'd pray to all of you for safety and good fortune from my tower. Now it's you yourselves who'd better pray... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3088): No; we're going to {#Emph}destroy {#Prev}that thing. I don't yet know all that requires, though prayer most likely won't be necessary. Icarus (Icarus_0141): Well then I'll pray just in case! Figure it couldn't hurt. Just please be careful, Meli. And before you go... take one of these. IcarusAboutTyphon02 Icarus (Icarus_0142): You really went and took on Typhon, hey? I caught a glimpse of him! As close as I dared fly to that huge storm. He could have squished you like a bug! Although I guess bugs can't use magick to escape... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3089): And bugs have wings, kind of like you! But yes, I can attest to Typhon's size and strength. Fortunately, I'm quicker... and have every god and goddess on Olympus backing me. Icarus (Icarus_0143): But their might {#Emph}pales {#Prev}in comparison to my inventions here...! {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, I, I, I shouldn't even jest... like that. You don't suppose they heard...? Don't tell them I said anything. IcarusAboutTyphon03 Icarus (Icarus_0144): The other night I thought I saw you launch yourself toward the Olympus summit... right into that awful storm. I couldn't even get close! What was it like up there? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3090): Oh it was awful... I normally like rain, but not like that. Typhon is drawn to the Fortress of the Gods, as it's the last defense before the Palace of Zeus... likely his real goal. Icarus (Icarus_0145): So the gods keep knocking him down, but he keeps getting back up, trying over and over to accomplish the same thing? A {#Emph}battle of wills! {#Prev}A battle of wits would have been easier, I guess. IcarusAboutUnderworld01 Icarus (Icarus_0440): Not seen you out here in a bit! Been busy in the Underworld, or relaxing in the hot springs with a bottle of Ambrosia or two? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4059): I won't confess so easily. Though I suppose you're right, it has been a while since we saw each other here. Anything new to report? Icarus (Icarus_0441): I'd report I'm pleased to see you though that's nothing new, I guess. Your grandfather is also {#Emph}very good {#Prev}at reviving his slain followers, if that's part of your plan. It's been packed! IcarusBathHouse01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4533): By the way have you seen what we did with the springs? Good place to shed any lingering pains if you want to go? Icarus (Icarus_0187): With you? Right now? All right! Though, don't expect the spring-water to be much good for my complexion, hey? Icarus (Icarus_0192): ...Funny how utterly beyond belief life is sometimes. While I was living I could never have imagined {#Emph}anything {#Prev}like this. Melinoe (Melinoe_4535): It's just a hot spring, Icarus. A purified and heavily enchanted one, but nonetheless. You've been flying over fleets of risen warships... how is this any stranger than that? Icarus (Icarus_0193): {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}It's mostly that I'm here with you. You're so beautiful, Meli. Not that you need us Shades and mortals to know it! Aphrodite herself must have told you, hey? Melinoe (Melinoe_4536): Oh, stop, Aphrodite has been a steadfast ally. If she was envious of me, I doubt she'd be as forthcoming with all of her most potent blessings as she has been. Icarus (Icarus_0194): That isn't really what I meant. We mortals... tend to have a certain shame. Our bodies can be so vulnerable, and ugly, sometimes... but not gods and goddesses. Melinoe (Melinoe_4537): I don't see what's to be ashamed of. I've known Shades such as you, and Odysseus... you're close enough to gods! Icarus (Icarus_0195): {#Emph}Hah{#Prev}, well, that's kind of you to say. And you were right about my burdens and this place! I'm really glad we're here. Icarus (Icarus_0196): ...I only wish we could have stayed longer. Though that was great. Thank you for bringing me along. Melinoe (Melinoe_4539): It was nice... IcarusBathHouse02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4540): I enjoyed our prior outing at the springs, and thought you might be open to another sometime soon. Perhaps even right now? Icarus (Icarus_0197): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}Well, these wings, they need further maintenance but... what am I even saying. They can definitely wait. Let's go? Melinoe (Melinoe_4541): You're quiet, Icarus. What's on your mind? Besides the further maintenance of the magnificent wings you've built. Icarus (Icarus_0198): {#Emph}Heh{#Prev}, it's just... most of my evenings are substantially less pleasant. I want to make this last. As well as fix the bloody wings! If they were {#Emph}so {#Prev}magnificent, they wouldn't break. Melinoe (Melinoe_4542): I think magnificent things are often fragile things. Though they seem sturdier than you let on! You had to solve the problems that caused the famous wings of Daedalus to fail. Icarus (Icarus_0199): That failure was mine. The wings my father made were built with feathers and wax, which was all he had to work with at the time. The wax had to stay cool, but {#Emph}I {#Prev}flew off into the blazing sun. Probably should have gone out at night, in retrospect... Melinoe (Melinoe_4543): Perhaps you didn't have the luxury of choice, since you were captives then. So what happened? The wings melted on you? Icarus (Icarus_0200): Well, yes. Using them was such a thrill that I pushed them too hard. So I fell. These new ones use a fiber like the bones of a bird, so they don't split as easily. Though let's not talk about the past, all right? I much prefer the present. Icarus (Icarus_0201): {#Emph}...Whew! {#Prev}They tell the dead to rest in peace but I've not had a break like that in {#Emph}far {#Prev}too long. Cheers, hey? Melinoe (Melinoe_4545): Cheers! IcarusBathHouseDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4555): Hey if you're not too busy, would you care to join me for a visit to the hot springs for a bit? Icarus (Icarus_0241): You've no idea how much I want to, but I really can't right now... I told Master Odysseus I'd soon be heading out. IcarusBecomingCloser01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4574): Icarus, you look... the Ectoplasmic Draught. You used it, and it worked...! Can I... is it all right if I...? Icarus (Icarus_0356): ...I was about to ask you the same thing. This is like {#Emph}nothing {#Prev}I've experienced since I was alive! And not even {#Emph}then! {#Prev}I took it all for granted then... Melinoe (Melinoe_4576): What makes tonight so special anyhow? I thought you were going to save the Draught for some sort of once-in-an-eternity occasion. Icarus (Icarus_0357): I thought about that. And then I thought about how if I could just {#Emph}touch {#Prev}you, that would make for such an occasion for me. And then I realized, I didn't want to wait. I drank the Draught once I knew you were here. It wasn't bad! Melinoe (Melinoe_4577): You swore you'd take this slow. What if I couldn't speak to you tonight? The Draught would have gone to waste! Icarus (Icarus_0358): You're right, you're right, it's just... you're {#Emph}here{#Prev}, and... I can feel my racing heart. Meli, may I... hold you in my arms? Melinoe (Melinoe_4578): ...I just don't want to go too far, as we each have before. The side effects could be exacerbated, and... like you, I couldn't bear the thought. I think it may be best if you experienced the cold wind and the spray of the sea while you still can. Icarus (Icarus_0359): I do want to get to that. And I did get to take you by the hand. I'd stay here forever if I could but I had better make the most of this since it won't last. So bye for now, Meli. Melinoe (Melinoe_4580): ...I'd like for you to do that very much. You may experience strange sensations but I'll be as gentle as I can. Please let me know if you start having discomfort of any kind. Melinoe (Melinoe_4581): {#Emph} {#Prev}It's nice, the beating of your heart. And you're still very warm, you know. If not for that, I might take you for dead! You've not moved, not spoken... you all right? Icarus (Icarus_0361): ...This must be what Elysium is like... Meli, I'm {#Emph}far {#Prev}more than all right, I'm — I'm just taking in each moment as I can. What about you? That you're still here I think is a good sign...? Melinoe (Melinoe_4582): You may take it as such. But, {#Emph}oh{#Prev}, you're getting colder now, and... the pallor of your skin is starting to change. The Draught is losing its effect. If you hurry, you still could feel that cold wind and the spray of the sea! Icarus (Icarus_0362): I would much rather stay with you right here... but I don't wish to keep you, and I'll probably regret not taking flight like this while I still can. You're wonderful, Meli. Melinoe (Melinoe_4579): Goodbye... Melinoe (Melinoe_4583): Fly free and live, Icarus. IcarusChat01 Icarus (Icarus_0005): Was just out for a little jaunt is all and figured I'd stop in. Was good seeing you, Meli. IcarusChat02 Icarus (Icarus_0006): Rough waters this evening, though the skies above aren't bad. You take care of yourself, hey? IcarusChat03 Icarus (Icarus_0007): Think I saw Eris further up the coast. How about you bring her a little surprise? IcarusChat04 Icarus (Icarus_0008): What I wouldn't give to stay here longer and catch up, but I know it's not the time or place. IcarusChat05 Icarus (Icarus_0009): You were amazing, Meli. I saw everything up there! Keep going, hey? IcarusChat06 Icarus (Icarus_0010): Got places to be, I know. Fortunately, I've got just the thing to help you get there. IcarusChat07 Icarus (Icarus_0011): Think we'll look back someday on all of this and miss it, hey? IcarusChat08 Icarus (Icarus_0012): Don't know how you handle this night after night, though I am glad you do. IcarusChat09 Icarus (Icarus_0013): Always good to see you, Meli, even for a bit. Nobody else will test this stuff for me! IcarusChat10 Icarus (Icarus_0014): The coast is clear for now! Though, past this point, no guarantees. IcarusChat11 Icarus (Icarus_0015): Think I took care of one or two of them back there. Better than nothing, hey? IcarusChat12 Icarus (Icarus_0016): Been tinkering around with these. Take whichever one you want! IcarusChat13 Icarus (Icarus_0017): Whichever one of these you choose comes with a total satisfaction guarantee. IcarusChat14 Icarus (Icarus_0018): The mountain isn't far from here. Maybe these will help you make the climb. IcarusChat15 Icarus (Icarus_0019): I know that you don't have a lot of time, so here. For the road ahead. IcarusChat16 Icarus (Icarus_0020): Still perfectly all right...! Had me a little worried for a moment there. IcarusChat17 Icarus (Icarus_0021): I'd fly you right up to the palace of the gods right now, if only I could... IcarusChat18 Icarus (Icarus_0022): Anything you need, just say the word. Though right now, this is all I've got. IcarusChat19 Icarus (Icarus_0023): Even the gods themselves need somebody to fight for them, don't they...? IcarusChat20 Icarus (Icarus_0024): You're more than halfway there, Meli... or pretty close, I think. No stopping now! IcarusChat21 Icarus (Icarus_0081): We'll have to catch up when you're free. No rush! Got all the time in the world. IcarusChat22 Icarus (Icarus_0082): Only so much I can do to help! But then it's something, hey? So here. IcarusChat23 Icarus (Icarus_0083): This ship feels like it's going to sink at any moment, so let's not stick around... IcarusChat24 Icarus (Icarus_0084): Maybe you'll find some use in one of these. They're all I've got tonight. IcarusChat25 Icarus (Icarus_0085): These aren't up to my father's standard, but they're not too bad I think... IcarusChat26 Icarus (Icarus_0086): Keep thinking how I've never felt so alive as when I'm here with you... IcarusChat27 Icarus (Icarus_0087): Olympus isn't too much farther. I'll fly on ahead and draw some of the heat. IcarusChat28 Icarus (Icarus_0088): A lot of Shades out there believe in you and what you're working to achieve. IcarusChat29 Icarus (Icarus_0089): Can I just say, these wings hold up {#Emph}much {#Prev}better than the ones my father made? IcarusChat30 Icarus (Icarus_0090): Safe to say I never imagined my afterlife would turn out anything like this. IcarusChat31 Icarus (Icarus_0091): I know you can handle yourself, but let me see what I can do to help here. Please. IcarusChat32 Icarus (Icarus_0092): Always a pleasure, Meli... I'm back on my feet but still feel like I'm flying...! IcarusFieldGiftDecline01 Icarus (Icarus_0394): How about we try this at the Crossroads sometime, hey? Harder to concentrate here what with all the sunken ships and deathless crewmates and whatnot. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3638): I see your point. IcarusFirstMeeting Icarus (Icarus_0062): It's really you. Before you say anything, I know I'm not supposed to be here, but I spotted this ship and had to drop in for a closer look. And now I'm going to take off! So let's pretend this never happened, hey? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1930): Hold it right there, Icarus! I'm not about to let you just fly out on me again without a chat at least. To start with, what are you doing in the middle of this blasted war? Icarus (Icarus_0003): The same thing I've {#Emph}been {#Prev}doing: slowing these bastards down. If everyone like me pitched in a little bit, this war would have been well over by now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1931): That may be so. But this is a matter between gods and Titans. I wouldn't want you to get hurt. Icarus (Icarus_0004): Bit late for that, Meli! Anyway, I've kept you for too long, but let me give you something I've been working on before I go — and these all work. I swear! IcarusFishing01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4546): Hey if you don't have to fly off just yet, how about a visit to the fishing pier with me? It's nice and quiet over there. Icarus (Icarus_0202): Sure, that sounds great! Though I should note I've never learned to fish, so fair warning I will not be any good. Icarus (Icarus_0203): ...Where I was from, fish were a major source of sustenance. It's strange, I... I never really thought that they were living creatures, same as me. Well, not {#Emph}same {#Prev}as me, but you get the idea. I was a kid! What did I know. Melinoe (Melinoe_4547): Everything you mortals eat is living, or once was. I'm glad I have no need of sustenance... I've always found it quite distasteful, the idea of having to consume lives just to prolong one's own. Icarus (Icarus_0204): We mortals are all about having to do distasteful things. That's one of the main differences between us and you, along with us being so easy to kill off. What choice do we have but to try and survive? Melinoe (Melinoe_4548): No choice at all, perhaps. Much in nature struggles to survive, from the flower yearning for a bit of light, to you, trying to figure out how to ask me to teach you to fish! Icarus (Icarus_0205): {#Emph}Haha. {#Prev}Well I understand it's necessary to be silent... so, why don't you provide a demonstration and I'll carefully observe. Icarus (Icarus_0206): You know, I really did enjoy that, even just the quiet-waiting part. Thanks for bringing me along. Melinoe (Melinoe_0768): You're welcome. IcarusFishingDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4556): I was thinking maybe you could join me by the fishing pier again, if you don't mind? Icarus (Icarus_0242): As much as I would like that, I can't stick around much longer here tonight. Some other time though, hey? IcarusGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3264): You can fly wherever you want now! But, I'm glad you didn't go so far I couldn't catch up. Here! In light of your godlike wings, a little gift. Icarus (Icarus_0038): Oh come on, just because I've been flying around near Olympus, doesn't mean I get to feast like I'm from there! Maybe with your permission, hey? Know what, I got something for you, too. IcarusGift02 Icarus (Icarus_0039): The last Nectar you got me was {#Emph}so {#Prev}good, can't even imagine what it would have been like while I was still alive. Wasn't going to ask for another, but... since you're offering! Melinoe (Melinoe_3266): I'm offering, so here! Maybe it's even better now that you're a Shade. You mortals had to eat and drink out of necessity. But Nectar helps fulfill a different kind of need. IcarusGift03 Icarus (Icarus_0078): As a mortal kid confined to a tower, I was relatively well provided for, but {#Emph}this? {#Prev}I know better than to envy the gods, especially with what they're going through lately... but they definitely know their drink. Melinoe (Melinoe_3499): The gods have always lived well... but your own life was so short and difficult. You must still have a lot of making up to do, and I thought maybe this could help! IcarusGift04 Icarus (Icarus_0176): Way back when, I always wanted to find you the best bottle of Nectar I could... but I never did. Adding to the list of things I perhaps should have approached differently. Melinoe (Melinoe_3500): Please don't dwell on the past so much. You thought you'd never see me again, but I'm here, now. I appreciate this moment that we have. Icarus (Icarus_0080): I won't forget it. IcarusGift05 Icarus (Icarus_0177): Can hardly feel this bottle... just its weight. Though I still have fond memories to fill the gaps. It's funny, I've lost track of how long I've been dead, but still not used to it entirely. Melinoe (Melinoe_4529): Perhaps it's impossible to become entirely accustomed to the way we are. Though, I'm surprised you have any nostalgia for a time when you were young. Icarus (Icarus_0178): {#Emph}You're {#Prev}one to talk! How many times have you reminisced about your quiet evenings listening to the river and the frogs? Sometimes we forget the pain, and sometimes it's all we remember. Though I'll remember this too. IcarusGift06 Icarus (Icarus_0179): I was so reckless when I was a kid. My father always told me to be careful, but I was stuck in a bloody tower... couldn't do anything to hurt myself if I tried. But now... I just don't want to mess things up. Melinoe (Melinoe_4530): For someone who spends so much time up in the clouds, you're far too stuck in your own head at times. This isn't a test, Icarus. It's me. And I simply like it when you're you. Icarus (Icarus_0180): Come on, Meli, look at us...! You're the immortal Princess of the Underworld; I'm a Shade of a failed apprentice who couldn't follow one simple instruction from his father and got dead ahead of schedule. {#Emph}This {#Prev}is what you like? Melinoe (Melinoe_4531): No, because that isn't who you are. I have no pity for you; why do you have so much for yourself? Cast it aside. But your true feelings, you should never hide from me. Icarus (Icarus_0181): I'll try... I'll definitely try, I'd be a fool not to. So, then...! Onward toward whatever comes our way? Melinoe (Melinoe_4532): Though still appreciate the moment, yes. IcarusGift07 Melinoe (Melinoe_4558): You seemed to enjoy your first taste of Ambrosia, so I want you to have a bottle for yourself. For when the occasion warrants it. Icarus (Icarus_0246): A bottle for myself, when the occasion warrants it... {#Emph}wow, what? {#Prev}Oh, come on, Meli, this is really too much! I've nothing {#Emph}near {#Prev}this good to give {#Emph}you! Melinoe (Melinoe_4559): I beg to differ! You have given me {#Emph}much {#Prev}more. And I don't just mean the hammers you've been busy working on. Icarus (Icarus_0247): I've not done anything that scores of Shade admirers of yours wouldn't have done in a heartbeat, if they still had one. Melinoe (Melinoe_4560): Wait, you're a Shade admirer of mine? Icarus (Icarus_0248): Oh, stop. And, give me that. IcarusGift08 Melinoe (Melinoe_4561): How about we try this whole Ambrosia thing again, but {#Emph}this {#Prev}time, no pretending you are just another Shade. You're more than that. And more than a friend. Icarus (Icarus_0249): ...Fine, but... don't you think this wasn't meant to be, hey? When I try to touch you it's barely a breeze, like I'm not even here... Melinoe (Melinoe_4562): You {#Emph}are {#Prev}here. I don't want to get hurt again either but each night I set out like this, I can't accomplish what I need to do without inviting the possibility... even the inevitability. Sometimes it's worth it. Icarus (Icarus_0250): My pain I can handle fine, who cares? {#Emph}Yours{#Prev}, I don't think I could live with... {#Emph}exist {#Prev}with, you know what I mean. But... {#Emph}argh! {#Prev}I can't believe I'm {#Emph}arguing {#Prev}with you, Meli, I'm happy more than {#Emph}anything {#Prev}right now! But I'm {#Emph}afraid... Melinoe (Melinoe_4563): A fear we can face together. IcarusGift09 Melinoe (Melinoe_4564): How about one more Ambrosia, as a bit of an experiment, because a substance known for bringing warmth and pleasure seems somehow to bring you misery. Icarus (Icarus_0251): Oh, excellent, I was just thinking I could use more misery and here we are. You do know why, don't you? We tried all this before, and it didn't work. I really wish it did, but hey. Melinoe (Melinoe_4565): I'm more experienced now. Sometimes when things don't work, you have to try again. Over, and over, and over, if that's what it takes. Icarus (Icarus_0252): Meli, I agree with you... provided that the cost of trying isn't way too high! In your case, well... you've got another arm, there, sure. A couple legs. You're willing to put all those on the line, for me? To make me {#Emph}whole? Melinoe (Melinoe_4566): Look, I know I can't just permanently bring your body back. But this connection we have... that we've always had... I'm willing to go where it leads. I'd {#Emph}like {#Prev}to go, if you would too. Icarus (Icarus_0253): I would, of course. I'd follow you into the sun, Meli. Or anywhere you'd rather be. Melinoe (Melinoe_4567): Then I have an idea. IcarusGift10 Melinoe (Melinoe_4570): Don't worry, this isn't more Ambrosia. It's called an Ectoplasmic Draught. Not as potent as the incantation I once tried, but this one works, I think. Icarus (Icarus_0254): What are you saying, Meli, wait... this draught can make me {#Emph}whole? {#Prev}Or maybe partially, an arm or something, hey? Melinoe (Melinoe_4571): It may be able to restore your sense of self as though you lived and breathed. But the effect won't last particularly long, perhaps a night at best. That was the compromise. Icarus (Icarus_0255): You're kidding, so... I could be {#Emph}me {#Prev}again... feel the cold wind and the spray of the sea and all that! For just one night. C-Can you make more? Melinoe (Melinoe_4572): Let's not get ahead of ourselves. These things can carry side effects if you don't take them slow. Swear that you will. Icarus (Icarus_0256): I swear I'll take it slow using the Ectoplasmic Draught. I've ignored perfectly reasonable guidance to my peril at least once before and I don't intend to do it again. Melinoe (Melinoe_4573): Then please use this whenever you see fit, perhaps on some particularly special night. And treat it as one-of-a-kind. Icarus (Icarus_0257): Thank you... thank you so much... IcarusGrantsReward01 Icarus (Icarus_0411): Been working on something for quite a while here, and didn't want to say till it was ready, but I put it through more testing recently and think it's good to go. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4040): Oh that's exciting. Your inventions must take quite a while to make ready and produce. What's this one all about? Icarus (Icarus_0412): You'll see, but it makes just about everything better, kind of like, well, {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Don't have to try it if you don't want! IcarusGreeting.VoiceLines Icarus (Icarus_0268): Hello...! Icarus (Icarus_0269): Your Grace. Icarus (Icarus_0270): Hi, Meli...! Icarus (Icarus_0271): Oh, you're up...! Icarus (Icarus_0272): Oh...!

Figured they'd have her busy sniping targets on Olympus! She sings nice. Melinoe (Melinoe_4863): She does. Artemis is supposed to be keeping an eye on us, but she helps watch my back. I don't know how I even would have met the other gods if not for her. Icarus (Icarus_0462): You're cousins but you're more like sisters, hey? Must be reassuring to have someone like that looking out for you. Melinoe (Melinoe_4864): Was that a trace of {#Emph}jealousy? Icarus (Icarus_0463): More like inadequacy. But it's gone! IcarusHomeAboutCrossroads01 Icarus (Icarus_0166): This place has changed so much since I took off. If you told me half this stuff was here, you'd have had a way easier time persuading me to come back. Melinoe (Melinoe_4522): I wanted to see if you'd do it of your own accord. And also, surprise! You still remember the trick to locating the place? Icarus (Icarus_0167): Hard to forget it once you know the way. Though, finding a good landing spot, I'm out of practice on that front. I nearly crashed into the cauldron! Melinoe (Melinoe_4523): No, what happened? Icarus (Icarus_0168): ...I crashed into Master Odysseus instead! IcarusHomeAboutCrossroads02 Icarus (Icarus_0169): So you really do wake up each night back there, entirely refreshed? And with a newfound resolve to achieve your life's ambition, that sort of thing? Melinoe (Melinoe_4524): You make it sound so automatic. My physical recovery may be mostly second-nature by now, but my motivation certainly is not. You think I never get discouraged? Icarus (Icarus_0170): I've {#Emph}never {#Prev}seen you discouraged. Though maybe you just hide it well. What'll you do if you succeed, hey? Pursue some other hopes and dreams? Melinoe (Melinoe_4525): That's not something I've given any thought. Icarus (Icarus_0171): I get it. First things first. IcarusHomeAboutCrossroads02_B Icarus (Icarus_0169): So you really do wake up each night back there, entirely refreshed? And with a newfound resolve to achieve your life's ambition, that sort of thing? Melinoe (Melinoe_4524): You make it sound so automatic. My physical recovery may be mostly second-nature by now, but my motivation certainly is not. You think I never get discouraged? Icarus (Icarus_0170_B): I've {#Emph}never {#Prev}seen you discouraged. Though maybe you just hide it well. Melinoe (Melinoe_4870): A gift I never knew I had! IcarusHomeAboutCrossroads03 Icarus (Icarus_0172): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, you're up! I almost missed you, was about to fly on back to Thessaly. Hope you rested well. Sounds like you had quite an eventful night! Melinoe (Melinoe_4526): It {#Emph}was {#Prev}productive, yes. Though if you're on assignment, I don't wish to keep you. We'll catch up some other time...! Or were you waiting here for me? Icarus (Icarus_0173): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}I mean, it's good to see you, {#Emph}yes{#Prev}, but... I'm not {#Emph}late. {#Prev}I can make up the time during my flight, you know, air currents and the like. So... well, back to it for the both of us then, hey? Melinoe (Melinoe_4527): Back to it, yes. IcarusHomeAboutGrace01 Icarus (Icarus_0449): Pleased to see you well again, Your Grace. Don't know about you, but last night was hard-fought for me! Those Chronos warship crews don't seem to tire out. Melinoe (Melinoe_4584): Icarus, I thought I told you that I'm not {#Emph}Your Grace{#Prev}. I may be Princess of the Underworld by birth, but here I serve the Unseen, the same as you. Icarus (Icarus_0450): I know, it's just I don't want any special treatment here. Other Shades all seem to be polite with you. And, I {#Emph}like {#Prev}calling you Your Grace! As long as you don't mind. Melinoe (Melinoe_4585): Just not too often, then. Icarus (Icarus_0451): Yes your— yes. IcarusHomeAboutMoros01 Icarus (Icarus_0174): Tall fellow over there by that big tapestry type thing... isn't that {#Emph}Doom? {#Prev}Seems friendlier than I imagined, judging by the way the two of you were getting on. Melinoe (Melinoe_4528): Lord Moros is our guest, and that tapestry beside him holds the will of the Three Fates. His family's in a similar predicament to mine. Would you like to meet him? Icarus (Icarus_0175): Oh, {#Emph}no{#Prev}, we, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}... we've met before. Though I don't think he would remember me. It's for the best! I just didn't expect to see him again... let alone here. I'm glad he's all right! Melinoe (Melinoe_0061_B): He is. IcarusHomeAboutMoros01_B Icarus (Icarus_0174): Tall fellow over there by that big tapestry type thing... isn't that {#Emph}Doom? {#Prev}Seems friendlier than I imagined, judging by the way the two of you were getting on. Melinoe (Melinoe_4528_B): Lord Moros is our guest, and that tapestry beside him holds the will of the Three Fates. Would you like to meet him? Icarus (Icarus_0175): Oh, {#Emph}no{#Prev}, we, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}... we've met before. Though I don't think he would remember me. It's for the best! I just didn't expect to see him again... let alone here. I'm glad he's all right! Melinoe (Melinoe_0061_B): He is. IcarusHomeAboutMortality01 Icarus (Icarus_0452): I sometimes think of what it's like being a god. Ever wonder what your life would have been like if you were mortal, hey? You probably would have wound up in Elysium. Melinoe (Melinoe_4858): Among the greatest heroes of your kind? I'm not so certain about that. If I were born mortal, I suppose... I would have worked at something all my life. Attempted to excel beyond my means and those of anybody else. Icarus (Icarus_0453): Meli, that's almost as depressing as my life, and I didn't get to choose. Most mortals work only to earn their keep... but it's the pleasures that we want, not the toil. Melinoe (Melinoe_4859): Truly? Yet here you are as a Shade, seeking to outdo your own master-artisan father at his craft, while battling against the Titan's legions. To earn your keep? Icarus (Icarus_0454): All right I see your point, sorry. That was the mortal impulse to tell others how to live. But we rarely find our own sense of purpose, much less anyone else's. I wonder what you would have excelled at... Melinoe (Melinoe_4860): Arguing, perhaps? As lawyer or a judge. Icarus (Icarus_0455): ...That's... terrifying. IcarusHomeAboutOdysseusWandering01 Icarus (Icarus_0464): Hey, do you know where Master Odysseus could have gone? I was supposed to report in tonight, though I haven't seen him in a little while... Melinoe (Melinoe_4865): I think he had some personal matters that he needed to take care of. I'm uncertain when he'll return. Did your report contain anything urgent? Icarus (Icarus_0465): No, it's just... I don't know. When he isn't there, I have this worry that he won't come back. He seems a wanderer at heart, and... isn't his own family someplace else? Melinoe (Melinoe_4866): Depends which family you mean! He isn't bound to the Crossroads any more than you. You may always return as long as you're welcome here, and I think he shall. Icarus (Icarus_0466): Like how you visited your family and still returned... Melinoe (Melinoe_4867): Exactly right. IcarusHomeAboutRain01 Icarus (Icarus_0458): It never rains like {#Emph}this {#Prev}over the Rift. It's funny, growing up, I'd sometimes hear the sound of rain outside, but never got to feel it even once. Melinoe (Melinoe_4861): Odysseus would say you didn't miss much there, though he probably got rained on more than any mortal that ever lived. I quite like it, myself. Icarus (Icarus_0459): I do, too. Even got a taste of it thanks to your Ectoplasmic Draught. And even now, I still enjoy the look and sound of it... what it does to your hair and all that. Melinoe (Melinoe_4862): My hair must look like dying branches, Icarus. Icarus (Icarus_0460): Not to me. IcarusHomeAboutRelationships01 Icarus (Icarus_0442): It's funny... we mortals go through life searching for that one other soul with whom we want to spend the rest of our nights; a love that lasts forever, but... we're really talking maybe thirty, forty years. Must be so different for the gods. Melinoe (Melinoe_4850): To want for all of someone's love... it seems so selfish. Nemesis would surely disapprove. My understanding is we all have varying capacity for different types of love. In fact I think I've quite a bit for you now, Icarus. Icarus (Icarus_0443): You've quite a bit, wait you mean {#Emph}love{#Prev}, for {#Emph}me? {#Prev}Even though there must be others whom you fancy around here, in that primary-type-of-love sort of way. But what if... I have all this love for {#Emph}you{#Prev}, and no one else...? Melinoe (Melinoe_4851): Then I am very fortunate, though also I think you must have much more to give. And you've eternity to find all those who deserve it. I alone shall have to do for now. Icarus (Icarus_0444): You're more than enough for me, Meli. Melinoe (Melinoe_4852): Perhaps. IcarusHomeAboutTools01 Icarus (Icarus_0554): That toolset there, is it really for me? Everything there looks so shiny. Where did we even {#Emph}get {#Prev}those from? Melinoe (Melinoe_4868): Consider it a gift from the Crossroads, Icarus. You shape the bounties of the Earth into wondrous things, so you might as well have the finest equipment. Icarus (Icarus_0555): I'll have to try them out, thank you so much. I'm quite partial to the worn set I've been using for a while, but those are probably due for a break. Melinoe (Melinoe_4869): Aren't we all! IcarusHomeAboutTyphonDeath01 Icarus (Icarus_0420): The storm that had been covering the top of Mount Olympus cleared up...! I figured I'd finally get to see Typhon, but {#Emph}no! {#Prev}What happened there? Melinoe (Melinoe_4844): The storm is gone because Typhon himself is gone. He seemed to be growing angrier each passing night. It was either him, or my family and their home. Icarus (Icarus_0421): You're kidding me! He's gone as in, he's gone? Not hiding, dormant, nothing of the sort? {#Emph}Well! {#Prev}That's {#Emph}great! {#Prev}What are you doing here, though? You ought to be feasting with the rest of the Olympians right now! Melinoe (Melinoe_4845): Need to take care of a few things. IcarusHomeChat01 Icarus (Icarus_0182): Nice seeing you again, Meli. I'm taking off, though I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you up there. IcarusHomeChat02 Icarus (Icarus_0183): If you decide to head up to the surface tonight, maybe I'll see you, hey? IcarusHomeChat03 Icarus (Icarus_0184): Cheers to you all for welcoming me back, and always nice to see {#Emph}you {#Prev}here. IcarusHomeChat04 Icarus (Icarus_0185): Time to get back into the fight, hey Meli? I'll go on ahead and see what I can do. IcarusHomeChat05 Icarus (Icarus_0186): At least I'm getting better at my landings and takeoffs here. Want to see? IcarusHomeChat06 Icarus (Icarus_0258): I had to stop in for additional supplies, and possibly to say hello. And now I'm off! IcarusHomeChat07 Icarus (Icarus_0259): Be on the lookout for my Hammers out there, hey? I hope they've been of help. IcarusHomeChat08 Icarus (Icarus_0260): I know it's not the time to chat for long, though even just a little like this helps. IcarusHomeChat09 Icarus (Icarus_0261): Just finished patching up these wings! And now to put them to the test again. IcarusHomeChat10 Icarus (Icarus_0262): It's funny, I start getting restless whenever I'm not putting these wings to good use. IcarusHomeChat11 Icarus (Icarus_0263): Wanted to say hello before I took off for the night. Take care then, hey? IcarusHomeChat12 Icarus (Icarus_0264): I knew you'd get there last night, and think you'll make it all the way this time too. IcarusHomeChat13 Icarus (Icarus_0265): Maybe I'll see you out there on the Rift tonight, unless you're sticking to the Underworld? IcarusHomeChat14 Icarus (Icarus_0266): Done my debrief with Master Odysseus so I'd best be heading back out there. IcarusHomeChat15 Icarus (Icarus_0267): Let's see if I can dodge every last branch up there on my way out then, hey? IcarusHomeChat16 Icarus (Icarus_0482): Always good to see you here, and maybe I'll see you up top tonight too, hey? IcarusHomeChat17 Icarus (Icarus_0483): Seems like everything's been going all right over here. Especially by this fountain. IcarusHomeChat18 Icarus (Icarus_0484): Was hoping you'd stop by and say hello. See you again out there one of these nights? IcarusHomeChat19 Icarus (Icarus_0485): Missed you out there on the Rift last night, though glad to see you here. IcarusHomeChat20 Icarus (Icarus_0486): Heard you did great last night, well done, Meli! Off for another go already, then? IcarusHomeFirstMeeting Icarus (Icarus_0164): Didn't think I'd feel this way, though it's good to be back, Meli! Oh, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, Your Grace. This place feels different, think it's... {#Emph}warmer {#Prev}than it used to be or something, hey? Melinoe (Melinoe_4520): You found your way back! You're welcome here and safe as ever, Icarus. I trust the wings made the return trip relatively swift and trouble-free? Icarus (Icarus_0165): Well, flying past the city of Ephyra sure beats having to trudge through. I still have to check in with Master Odysseus, though I'll try not be such a stranger around here. Melinoe (Melinoe_4521): Do see to that. IcarusHomePostEpilogue01 Icarus (Icarus_0447): Been hearing Shades say something's changing on Olympus... that the Fates themselves decided that the gods will soon be ruling with a lighter touch? That sounds... {#Emph}different. Melinoe (Melinoe_4856): I think {#Emph}soon {#Prev}there may be relative to gods not mortals, but... what I've heard is much the same. At the dawn of the new age, mortals are to choose their paths themselves. Icarus (Icarus_0448): An age where neither the gods nor the Fates are dictating each moment of our lives, or deaths. Hard to imagine. Who would we even blame if things went wrong then, hey? Melinoe (Melinoe_4857): You'll find someone I'm sure! IcarusHomePostEpilogue02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4853): Icarus, when did you realize your father wasn't who you thought? Sounds like you grew up always wanting to live up to his idea of you, though at some point you stopped. Icarus (Icarus_0445): Well, it was probably when I found him after I died. He looked {#Emph}so {#Prev}disappointed; I genuinely thought he was upset I broke his precious wings. Kept working for him, though. Melinoe (Melinoe_4854): ...I see. Headmistress, she was like a mother to me, but... she always went out of her way to tell me she was not. I never really understood why. Icarus (Icarus_0446): You love her, I know that. And she put you through a lot, I know that too! If somebody is such a big part of your life for long enough, eventually it gets a bit complicated, hey? Melinoe (Melinoe_4855): Well, I suppose... IcarusHomePostTrueEnding01 Icarus (Icarus_0422): The war with Chronos, it's really {#Emph}over{#Prev}, hey? The energy about this place is different, tension's gone, the other Shades practically bouncing up and down! You {#Emph}did {#Prev}it...! Melinoe (Melinoe_4846): Perhaps, but... there's still more to be done. Preventative measures to ensure what happened never can occur again. Icarus (Icarus_0423): Meli, can't you give yourself a break? Your task is finally complete! What are you going to do now, with the whole rest of your existence ahead of you? Melinoe (Melinoe_4847): I said there's still more to be done. Icarus (Icarus_0424): I didn't mean... sorry. IcarusHomePostTrueEnding02 Icarus (Icarus_0427): You know, I thought that once Chronos was out and the Underworld King and Queen were back, you'd have to join them in the House of Hades. Be the princess you were always meant to be. Melinoe (Melinoe_4848): I'd like to think I already am that. My father's House is truly something to behold, but {#Emph}this {#Prev}is home, not there. And I'll be seeing my parents and brother frequently enough, I think. Icarus (Icarus_0428): Oh, {#Emph}right! {#Prev}How was it meeting Zagreus? He live up to all the hushed tales of his prowess and all that? Melinoe (Melinoe_4849): If I told you, I'd have to slay you. Icarus (Icarus_0429): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}Well, all right! IcarusLowHealth01 Icarus (Icarus_0152): Look what they did to you, those... {#Emph}augh! {#Prev}I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner, Meli.... Do you ever just turn back? I mean if you're {#Emph}this {#Prev}hurt already, why go on.... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3094): I'm not as hurt as you may think, and know my limits, Icarus. Though I appreciate the show of concern. Icarus (Icarus_0153): I just — It's hard to see you put yourself through this. Even if your wounds heal by tomorrow, what matters is right now. Anyway... I might have something to help keep you going. IcarusPostTrueEnding01 Icarus (Icarus_0417): Where have you {#Emph}been{#Prev}, Meli? Not seen you here or {#Emph}anywhere {#Prev}in far too many nights. Something's off, I don't know what but I think Chronos might be up to something new. His forces have been acting {#Emph}very {#Prev}strange...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4049): His forces have been acting very strange because Chronos {#Emph}abandoned his campaign! {#Prev}Icarus... our war is won! The House of Hades is restored! You'd not believe me if I told you how, but it's {#Emph}true! Icarus (Icarus_0418): Chronos has given up, wait, {#Emph}what...? No! {#Prev}But we just fought more of his forces {#Emph}here! {#Prev}You're really serious... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4050): When am I not? The Titan of Time is {#Emph}changed. {#Prev}We were able to get through to him finally, in the moment when his continued existence was on the line. I'm off to Olympus now, to make certain things are stable over there. Icarus (Icarus_0419): I just, I can't {#Emph}believe {#Prev}it! Well, I mean, of course I can. {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}You got him, {#Emph}finally! {#Prev}You did get him, didn't you? I, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, I don't know what to say... have one of these? IcarusPostTrueEnding01_B Icarus (Icarus_0417): Where have you {#Emph}been{#Prev}, Meli? Not seen you here or {#Emph}anywhere {#Prev}in far too many nights. Something's off, I don't know what but I think Chronos might be up to something new. His forces have been acting {#Emph}very {#Prev}strange...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4049): His forces have been acting very strange because Chronos {#Emph}abandoned his campaign! {#Prev}Icarus... our war is won! The House of Hades is restored!

No! {#Prev}But we just fought more of his forces {#Emph}here! {#Prev}You're really serious... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4050_B): When am I not? The Titan of Time is {#Emph}changed. {#Prev}We were able to get through to him finally, in the moment when his continued existence was on the line. Icarus (Icarus_0419): I just, I can't {#Emph}believe {#Prev}it! Well, I mean, of course I can. {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}You got him, {#Emph}finally! {#Prev}You did get him, didn't you? I, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, I don't know what to say... have one of these? IcarusPostTrueEnding02 Icarus (Icarus_0437): Hey, last we spoke in the Crossroads, I... didn't mean to upset you, Meli. It's just... I didn't realize you'd have to keep fighting like this. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4056): You asked me what I was going to do with the rest of my existence, and it set me off. I've not thought that far ahead. Icarus (Icarus_0438): Well, it seems you don't need an answer anyway if you still have to keep heading up here. And probably down to the Underworld as well. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4057): There's certainly a comfort in routine. But, I have to accept that this may be all I'm meant to do. All I'm proficient at. Icarus (Icarus_0439): You don't have to accept {#Emph}any {#Prev}such thing, Meli. All my father ever did was work. Felt it was his calling! But you're not like him. Anyway... the rest of existence can wait! Let's make {#Emph}this {#Prev}night a good one and go from there, hey? IcarusPostTrueEnding03 Icarus (Icarus_0431): There really is more to be done then, hey? If the war with Chronos truly ended, it sure doesn't look that way from all these ships. The Harpies don't seem any friendlier, either. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4052): Some must be zealots still believing that the Titan of Time shall rise again. But we're seeing to it that the threat of Chronos and Typhon can never recur. Just have to retrace my steps to Olympus as part of that process. Icarus (Icarus_0432): So then... all right. Because if what you're saying is I get to keep on flying, and I get to keep on seeing {#Emph}you {#Prev}up {#Emph}here... {#Prev}that doesn't sound so bad to me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4053): Oh, right! We thought the war ending would mean you'd have to put away your wings. But, my father's Underworld renovations seem like they'll be going on a long, long time. Icarus (Icarus_0433): Guess I may need to head back to my designated spot eventually. But for now, I'd like to make the most of this. IcarusTaverna01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4549): Hey, ever tried Ambrosia, Icarus? Because if not, you're about to. Given your inclination and availability, of course. Icarus (Icarus_0235): As a matter of fact, {#Emph}no{#Prev}, I've not tried Ambrosia before, and I've {#Emph}never {#Prev}had the inclination till you asked me just now. You sure it'd be all right...? Icarus (Icarus_0236): ...The other Shades are watching us, Meli. They admire you so much, and probably would wish I was dead if I wasn't already. Melinoe (Melinoe_4550): Oh don't worry. If any of those Shades get too envious, the only attention they'll end up getting is from Nemesis. Why would they even care? I see {#Emph}them {#Prev}more than you. Icarus (Icarus_0237): Well, it's just... as mortals many of us could get jealous. Especially when we'd see someone we cared for with somebody else. Hard to explain, but I think it all stems from our instinctively knowing how little time we have. Melinoe (Melinoe_4551): But you all have eternity now that you're here. Provided Chronos hasn't yet irreparably ruined everything. Though I suppose we gods can also have those types of feelings. Icarus (Icarus_0238): {#Emph}Really? {#Prev}Come on, name {#Emph}one {#Prev}thing that's ever made you envious, Meli. You seem so comfortable the way you are, and with everything you have... I've never seen you want for anything that isn't yours. Melinoe (Melinoe_4552): Then you haven't been paying attention. I'm envious of Headmistress, for one. I'll never be half the witch she is. Nor look nearly as elegant in hats. Icarus (Icarus_0239): All right, I stand corrected! You're envious of the {#Emph}hat {#Prev}of the Witch of the Crossroads. Now {#Emph}can {#Prev}we try the drink already, hey? Could always spare some for the other Shades! Icarus (Icarus_0240): ...Wow. I have never had something like that in my {#Emph}entire {#Prev}life. Or death. The gods just regularly drink this stuff...? Melinoe (Melinoe_4554): Some of them anyway! IcarusTavernaDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4557): Got another bottle of Ambrosia we could split at the taverna if you're up for it? Icarus (Icarus_0243): I would genuinely love to, though... we've had reports of a new fleet appearing in the Rift, and I'd best pay them a visit first. IcarusWithEris01 Icarus (Icarus_0470): ...I was just, {#Emph}eh{#Prev}, picking up a bit. Didn't mean to bother you, Goddess, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}Hey! I like your wings! Mine aren't real. Though, I had an earlier pair made with real feathers, more like yours... but not nearly as good. Eris (Eris_0363): How 'bout next time you see my stuff, you leave it be, all right there, baby bird? Now get out of my face and don't go tripping on your tongue on your way up! Icarus (Icarus_0471): Sounds good! I'm off. {#Emph}Goodbye! Eris (Eris_0364): Bye now! IcarusWithHecate01 Icarus (Icarus_0475): ...Also, I wanted to give thanks to you, Madam. For taking me in and letting me return; and for entrusting anything to me! Most Shades are not so fortunate. Hecate (Hecate_0877): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, do not grovel, Icarus, lest I cast you out. These are the Crossroads, not Elysium! A Shade's existence here may be comparatively difficult... and few remain for long. Icarus (Icarus_0476): I appreciate having the work to do, and being a part of this. Although, sometimes just after taking off, I fear I won't be able to find my way back... Hecate (Hecate_0878): Discard that fear. Those with the need or who remain in our good graces always shall be welcome here and safe. Icarus (Icarus_0477): I'm grateful. And, I'll be going! Cheers, Madam! IcarusWithOdysseus01 Icarus (Icarus_0244): As far as I can tell, the number of warships headed for Olympus has remained roughly the same night after night. Their mission doesn't seem to be affected in the slightest. Odysseus (Odysseus_0436): Their aim is to cut off the waterways and spread the limited attention of Olympus thin. Continue to disrupt them as you can, my lad. Though if the Harpies flock too thick, fall back. Icarus (Icarus_0245): You got it, sir! Those ships are ill-equipped against attackers from the sky, and the Harpies haven't caught up with me yet. All right, I'm off! Odysseus (Odysseus_0437): Good hunting out there! IcarusWithOdysseus02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0705): ...Anyhow, my lad, you're doing fine. You can't always know where you're going, but you {#Emph}can {#Prev}have a sense for whether you're headed in the general direction you desire. And don't be in such a hurry to get there if you can help it. Icarus (Icarus_0467): I've not gone anywhere, though, sir. I thought if I could just learn how to fly, I'd finally be able to go wherever I pleased. But the farther away I got, the more I wanted to come back! What was the use? I'm still not sure. Odysseus (Odysseus_0706): The use was to find where you belonged. If you never left, you would have always wondered what else was out there for you. You returned with the wisdom of that experience. Icarus (Icarus_0468): So the more we wander, the wiser we get, hey? Except I'm speaking to the Great Tactician. I hardly think I've learned more flying about out {#Emph}there {#Prev}than I could have from {#Emph}you. Odysseus (Odysseus_0707): I'll take the wings if you don't want them, lad. Icarus (Icarus_0469): No chance, sir! InfestedCerberus.AIStages.StageTransitionVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1243): Come to your senses, boy! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2118): Hey, get back here...!

Medea (Medea_0531): {#Emph} MedeaAboutAltFight01 Medea (Medea_0581): Fear nothing, sorceress, at least not from me here. Beyond the city gates, I shall be testing your resolve whenever you speak the Vows; but in this pharmacy as I call it, I merely test the potency of my concoctions and the like. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3809): But you fought against me with such rancor, Lady Medea. If there is some bad blood between us, I would like to know the cause. Medea (Medea_0220): Perish the very thought! I merely wish for you to not let down your guard with {#Emph}anyone. {#Prev}And besides, there's no bad blood for those of {#Emph}our {#Prev}predilection. All blood has its uses. MedeaAboutAltFight02 Medea (Medea_0221): The will of Night is calling to me once again... how {#Emph}sickening{#Prev}, that I'm to curse our enemies, only to stand within their ranks alongside that dread Cyclops but a little while hence! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3810): These curses that you offer me may negatively impact {#Emph}him... {#Prev}but I suppose not you. Although, isn't it quite common for curses to backfire? Medea (Medea_0222): The curses of an amateur, most certainly, but {#Emph}mine? Hmhmhmhmhmhm{#Prev}, no. Well, this shall be highly instructional at least! Until we see each other soon beyond the gates. MedeaAboutAltFight03 Medea (Medea_0223): What are the matters of dispute between that Cyclops Polyphemus and yourself, anyhow, sorceress? I get a bit of thrill seeing you fight, but would prefer to know the history. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3933): There is no history! The first night I tried to leave the city, he was there. He's tried to make a meal of me since. He must be working for Chronos... or was, at some point. Medea (Medea_0224): He's just a shepherd. Perhaps you met him on an empty stomach, that can make anybody irritable. But, do as you must! I'll intervene only if the Oath requires it. MedeaAboutAltFight04 Medea (Medea_0225): Decided to revoke the Vow of Rivals for the time? I do not blame you in the least. As exhilarating as it is for me, I appreciate the undivided silence here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3934): Polyphemus must miss your company. I'm still surprised the two of you seem to get on so well... I can't imagine what you have in common. Medea (Medea_0226): No, I don't think you can... but, he need not see me constantly. He is a shepherd thus a rather patient sort. You'll likely speak the Vow again, and we shall all {#Emph}catch up. MedeaAboutApollo01 Medea (Medea_0052): {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}You bear the light of Apollo himself! Well, just remember that he's not the only one who can create a decent plague around here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0344): Apollo certainly has a broad range of talents. So, he would sometimes cast down plagues on mortalkind? Do you know why? Medea (Medea_0053): Why do the gods do anything at all? Simply because they can! Besides, a good plague now and then helps keep the common stock in line. MedeaAboutBlood01 Medea (Medea_0029): I have to thank you, sorceress! After you last rampaged throughout this city, I obtained a sample of your blood. Oh, it's very potent stuff! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0327): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, you're welcome, Lady Medea. Although, moving forward, please ask me prior to using my lifeblood as part of your experiments. Medea (Medea_0030): How about I use it anyway but never mention doing so again? Fear not, I use it only toward a common outcome we desire...! MedeaAboutCirce01 Medea (Medea_0048): How absurd, the very idea of family, sorceress. That we've some innate bond with those who share some of our blood! You've met my Aunt Circe; do you believe that we're at all alike? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0341): Madame Circe seems very devoted to our craft in her own right. Just, not in the same way as you, Lady Medea. Are you so loath to think that you may have something in common? Medea (Medea_0049): Circe was never willing to push our practice to the depths of what it can achieve. She would turn mortals into livestock; {#Emph}I {#Prev}would turn them dead. A differing approach is all, perhaps... MedeaAboutConcoctionQuest01 Medea (Medea_0268): Great Hecate informs me you have regularly crossed the Mourning Fields. There's something I would ask, as much as it pains me; for a concoction I've been dying to complete. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4332): Certainly no harm in asking, Lady Medea. What is it that you seek, and to what end? Medea (Medea_0269): I need the vapor from the Tears spilled by sorry souls that linger in that place. If you could gather up some Tears, declaring them for me, then collect their boiled essence from your Cauldron, I'd be very much obliged. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4333): And which sort of concoction would be possible, once you possess these essences of sorrow? Medea (Medea_0270): One that shall be of no small benefit to you and I alike. You needn't go too far out of your way, of course. MedeaAboutConcoctionQuestComplete01 Medea (Medea_0272): Oh good, you're just in time. Those Tears you brought me were the missing touch I lacked for something that had been the subject of my studies for some time. I'm pleased to offer you a sample of it now, if you would like? MedeaAboutCurses01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0342): What gives your incantations such great potency, Lady Medea? So many curses have intangible effects, yet yours pierce like a blade... Medea (Medea_0050): A well-wrought curse requires suitable reagents, and pure intention without compromise. Any hesitancy, any second-guessing undermines an ill effect. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0343): That I understand... it's the pure intent toward misfortune that I struggle to achieve. How can one wish such ill upon another, without imagining some of it turning back one's way? Medea (Medea_0051): With practice, sorceress! Ill intent does threaten to reflect back upon oneself, often with greater potency. But with the blackest of intent... there's nothing to reflect at all. MedeaAboutEmptiness01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4714): Do you ever feel as though your curses leave you empty, Lady Medea? When I yield to darker thoughts, after the initial rush subsides, I don't often like the sensation that lingers. Medea (Medea_0601): Why, to feel empty is the entire purpose of this pharmaceutical enterprise, sorceress. To feel empty is to truly be at peace. The closest we can get to mortal death. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4715): I understand what you mean, but... I would rather feel fulfilled, or happy, or excited, not just... nothing at all. Our senses and intuitions are what drive us. Medea (Medea_0602): They drive us to get rid of them. I rid myself of feeling all the time; rancor? Curse. Hunger? Sustenance. Lust? And on and on. For each affliction, there exists a cure. MedeaAboutEphyra01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0326): How long have you resided here, Lady Medea? I thought all our forces fled once the city was overrun, but you seem rather comfortable. Medea (Medea_0028): Oh, yes! All the death and panic made for many vacancies. I slipped in through the shadows soon after the city fell, and remained, practicing, observing.... Great Hecate has eyes upon the surface {#Emph}everywhere... MedeaAboutExperiments01 Medea (Medea_0236): Most practitioners of our craft would have condemned my experimentation, or turned their noses at the very least. But not you, sorceress. I laud your intestinal fortitude. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3940): Your experimentation as you call it is not for me to judge. That would make me no different than so many others who misunderstand the nature of what we do. Medea (Medea_0237): I must admit I do enjoy how next to no one even dares approach us out of fear that we lash out. Perhaps not for the best, long-term, but as for now? I can experiment in peace. Though you at least are always welcome here. MedeaAboutFoes01 Medea (Medea_0026): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, the sorceress returns. Not had your fill of this putrescent atmosphere? Or merely not succeeded yet in breaking the Titan's siege? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0254): Not succeeded yet. Chronos can replenish his forces as quickly as Olympus can repel them. Have you found any weaknesses in their ranks? Medea (Medea_0027): They cannot be permanently slain, are barely susceptible to my most noxious poisons, and are single-minded in their devotion to the Titan Lord. Any of those sound like weaknesses? MedeaAboutHecate01 Medea (Medea_0043): How fares Great Hecate amid such inauspicious nights? Scarce has she had occasion lately to illuminate this place... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0337): Headmistress seems well enough. I've not once seen hardship ever get to her. But then, perhaps she wears that veil of hers so as to never show even a trace of doubt. Medea (Medea_0044): We all wear veils, don't we, sorceress? Great Hecate, she merely puts aside all pretenses about it. Well, good to know that she is still herself. And I remain her humble servant, here. MedeaAboutHera01 Medea (Medea_0054): Glorious Hera has opted to lend to you her power, if my senses don't deceive. You're family of hers, and come to her defense. Perhaps she shall be favorable to you! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0345): She has been thus far. I know the gods can take care of themselves, but we seem to have a mutual understanding and a shared interest at the moment. Medea (Medea_0055): How mercenary. And the proper posture with the gods, I think! You needn't second-guess my aid. Great Hecate wills it, so it shall be yours. MedeaAboutHeracles01 Medea (Medea_0034): I meant to warn you, by the way, to not engage with the big burly lion-maned fellow who sometimes stalks about the streets out there... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0331): You must mean Heracles. We've already met, and I gathered that I ought to keep my distance. He says he serves the gods but... he's a threat? Medea (Medea_0035): Oh, he's just a big downer! I cure his injuries yet still he incurs more, and not even {#Emph}I {#Prev}possess the power yet to cure his spirit. The dead have more cheer than a man like that. Now, come! I've curses to concoct. MedeaAboutHiddenAspect01 Medea (Medea_0190): That artifact that you bear... Revaal herself! But in the guise of whomever came forth to me in dream. So then the phrase I told you took effect... what more did you unveil? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3937): This is the Aspect of a goddess known as Hel, who presides over some distant realm of the dead that's white with frost. How she ends up bearing Revaal, I do not know. Medea (Medea_0191): This Goddess Hel apparently has taste! Perhaps it shall be {#Emph}I {#Prev}who, on some frigid evening, first shall introduce her to the intoxicating power of the Argent Skull...! Or perhaps {#Emph}you! MedeaAboutHiddenAspectProgress01 Medea (Medea_0188): Concerning my dream of the skull Revaal... have you yet made attempts using the invocation I relayed? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3946): I haven't, Lady Medea... I'm reluctant to speak it before the Silver Pool until I'm certain what effect it may induce. Medea (Medea_0189): Courage, sorceress. Experiments require willingness toward unforeseen outcomes. Remember now to say, {#Emph}I see you gather countless dead in cold and dark domains. {#Prev}It should be fine! MedeaAboutHypnos01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4231): I woke him up, Lady Medea! Lord Hypnos, I mean. Thank you for all your guidance with the Dream Vapors. The House of Hades owes you a great debt. Medea (Medea_0259): Those are such tidings as I wish to hear! All I ask in return is that the Underworld gates remain ajar yet for some time. The dead and I, we still have many matters to explore... MedeaAboutKeepsake01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0500): Thank you again for the gift, Lady Medea. This bit of fleece is extraordinary, isn't it... and very soft! Medea (Medea_0060): You have the blackened tuft of wool I gave to you! It once shone golden as the sun. But I saw fit to modify its properties, to make it better serve sorceresses such as we... MedeaAboutMedeaAspect01 Medea (Medea_0227): Why, if it isn't my own Aspect of the Argent Skull Revaal. It's been a while since I harnessed her unmitigated fury. Is she agreeable with you most of the time? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3936): Yes, but... the Argent Skull, you speak of it — of {#Emph}her{#Prev}, as though she is a living being, not a weapon, or a tool. Even now I tend to still conflate the two with the Nocturnal Arms. Medea (Medea_0228): The Arms are known by many different names, and I suspect don't care which ones you choose. They lust for {#Emph}souls{#Prev}, not proper etiquette. So do indulge that one for me. MedeaAboutOlympus01 Medea (Medea_0181): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, to face such cataclysmic times, and all this tragedy! Truly these are memorable nights. How fare your journeys to that cursed place the gods call home? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3935): Eventful, in a word! Your concoctions have been broadly useful on the way. I always thought such magick focused on a single victim at a time. Medea (Medea_0182): Reach a certain point, and the world itself can be the single target of your wrath. Keep practicing, sorceress! We've no shortage of enemies on whom to ply our trade. MedeaAboutOptimism01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0332): Your curses have been of great help, Lady Medea. Though if only I had your optimism. You're always smiling, even in such a place as this. Medea (Medea_0036): What's not to like? No shortage here of blood for my research, and the dead are wise enough to stay afield of me. Now here, let's cast another curse and you'll be right as rot! MedeaAboutPoisons01 Medea (Medea_0039): Vast is the breadth of our craft, isn't it, sorceress? For all your studies with Great Hecate, I suspect you've scarce learned anything about {#Emph}my {#Prev}areas of expertise... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0334): You're right that my experience is no match for yours, Lady Medea. I've spent very little time with mortals... still-living ones, that is. Medea (Medea_0040): Of late, I'm spending little time with the still-living ones, myself. Most are highly susceptible to insinuation, or at least to certain types of toxins, easily administered in food or drink. MedeaAboutPylons01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3811): What are these Pylons doing everywhere, Lady Medea? They control the barrier before the docks, that much is clear. Perhaps the Titan's legions use them to coordinate attacks. Medea (Medea_0231): They are the product of a very sick mind. Imprisoning so many Shades in the tiniest enclosures wherein all their Psyche may be drained! Can you imagine, sorceress? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3812): That's terrible! I hadn't realized the Pylons worked that way. Though who keeps fixing them? You even have one {#Emph}here! Medea (Medea_0232): The hideous thing won't seem to go {#Emph}away! {#Prev}Keeps re-materializing practically each night! Though I get so caught up with all my cauldronwork, I seldom pay it any heed... MedeaAboutReputation01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0335): You know, for all the dread and despair everywhere I turn, you've come to be a welcome sight, Lady Medea. I'm pleased to know you a bit better now. Medea (Medea_0041): Do not profess to know me, sorceress. You know my reputation, and express surprise that I do not appear as cruel as it suggests. Yet the greatest cruelties can be cleverly disguised... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0336): I meant no offense. I don't profess to know you well at all, only to say I look forward to our encounters. As for your reputation, I care little for what others say of those such as us. Medea (Medea_0042): Perhaps you ought care more, for we are rightly to be feared. And there are those who'd turn upon us, sullying our names, or worse. Safeguard your trust, is my advice to you. MedeaAboutSolitude01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0338): You're always on your own, Lady Medea. Are there no family members or loved ones who could be accompanying you in your... experiments? Medea (Medea_0045): Oh they are with me, in a way; their spirits or their memories. But why suggest that solitude's in need of remedy? There can be times when one could use companionship, but such impulses can be sated, case-by-case. MedeaAboutSuffering01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0339): You must know a great deal about mortals. How they live, suffer, and die. Have you found ways to ease their passing, at least? Medea (Medea_0046): Whyever would I do a thing like that? Great Hecate herself says that the greatest teacher is out {#Emph}there. {#Prev}To suffer is to learn! I merely wish to become a good teacher, myself. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0340): Mortal cries of anguish and despair do nothing to move you to compassion, or to mercy at least? I find them quite unnerving. Medea (Medea_0047): You learn to close your heart to all of it. No mortal has a right to live for long! Certainly there exist those whose skill is to ease suffering; I merely seek to understand its cause. MedeaAboutTrust01 Medea (Medea_0589): ...You'd mentioned that you've come to trust in me. I wanted you to know it meant a lot. No one has told me so in recent times... even Great Hecate must keep me at arm's length. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4720): Lady Medea, surely your inclination to conducting research all alone has something to do with this. You'd be welcome and safe at the Crossroads if you wish to join us there. Medea (Medea_0590): No, I do not lack for company. The mere thought of being surrounded by the living and the dead alike makes the bile in my belly rise. But I don't mind {#Emph}you {#Prev}like so many of the rest. MedeaAboutTyphon01 Medea (Medea_0179): The most {#Emph}outrageous {#Prev}bit of hearsay has been wafting lately on the winds, about what ails the mountain of the gods! You've been heading that way... what's going on? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3808): If the hearsay concerned an ancient and enormous monstrosity looking to crush Olympus to pieces, assuming the Titan's legions don't achieve it first... it's not hearsay. Medea (Medea_0180): Oh, my. Then I know which monstrosity you mean. And you intend to challenge him and all the rest? You're entirely mad, sorceress...! But so's the world over. MedeaAboutUndead01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0330): The Shades about this place... they're trapped in the decaying bodies of their mortal selves, aren't they? Unable to travel to my father's realm. Medea (Medea_0033): I know, right? This is a {#Emph}revolution {#Prev}in the necromantic arts! These shuffling wretches, trapped on the very verge of death... I could study them for moons and moons on end! MedeaAboutVengeance01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0328): You work so tirelessly at your craft, Lady Medea. If I may ask, where do you find the strength for your pursuits night after night? Medea (Medea_0031): It's very much straightforward, sorceress. I seek to punish all who wronged me, in proportion to the harm they caused. Though have no fear, you're not on any list of mine! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0329): Have you been wronged so often that you need more than one list of wrongdoers? What happens when you've cursed them all? Medea (Medea_0032): My lists are based on categories of affront; from mere dislikes, to deep betrayals. As for what happens after I've achieved my work... I'll have to get back to you on that one. MedeaAboutWitchcraft01 Medea (Medea_0037): How much has changed with time. It's not as often that I see familiar faces such as yours, or hateful ones. So many fail to understand our ways. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0333): You've always seemed to have ways of making them understand, Lady Medea. Though, do you find you miss living among mortals? Medea (Medea_0038): Locating live subjects for my research used to be easier, but that exception notwithstanding, no. A few true friends are better than a thousand friendly-feigning strangers. MedeaChat01 Medea (Medea_0004): Such a terrible shame were a terrible curse to befall our enemies this eve... MedeaChat02 Medea (Medea_0005): Those who seek to do us wrong deserve no quarter whatsoever, sorceress. MedeaChat03 Medea (Medea_0006): We cannot always bring our foes an agonizing death, yet we may strive. MedeaChat04 Medea (Medea_0007): Ill fortune comes in many different forms; you need but choose. MedeaChat05 Medea (Medea_0008): On lonesome nights as this, a concoction of a certain potency is certainly in order. MedeaChat06 Medea (Medea_0009): You shall develop a taste for my poisons in due course, sorceress. MedeaChat07 Medea (Medea_0010): Together let us curse our enemies this night, and into the beyond. MedeaChat08 Medea (Medea_0011): What shall it take to bring our enemies to heel? Let us find out. MedeaChat09 Medea (Medea_0012): If you seek the spread of pain and suffering, you've come to the right place. MedeaChat10 Medea (Medea_0013): The best protection against curses is to put in place some curses of one's own. MedeaChat11 Medea (Medea_0014): Our enemies shall come to understand the essence of fear itself. MedeaChat12 Medea (Medea_0015): The very air we breathe shall be as poison to all those who stand against us. MedeaChat13 Medea (Medea_0016): Our will and influence shall spread forth like a plague. MedeaChat14 Medea (Medea_0017): I do suggest that you not linger here too long; ill side-effects and all. MedeaChat15 Medea (Medea_0018): Unpleasantries take many different forms, and I would master them all. MedeaChat16 Medea (Medea_0019): This night practically {#Emph}begs {#Prev}for a real {#Emph}atrocity {#Prev}of some sort, no? MedeaChat17 Medea (Medea_0020): Welcome back to the necropolis, and may your stay be pleasantly short-lived. MedeaChat18 Medea (Medea_0021): I've an {#Emph}absolutely {#Prev}appalling idea I'm dying to attempt, if you'll indulge me? MedeaChat19 Medea (Medea_0022): Why don't we go and spread some more malaise about, no? MedeaChat20 Medea (Medea_0023): To achieve aught of value, sacrifices always must be made, sorceress. MedeaChat21 Medea (Medea_0024): May blight befall our enemies... and even those we simply do not like. MedeaChat22 Medea (Medea_0025): I've several more unspeakable transgressions against nature here for you. MedeaChat23 Medea (Medea_0174): The more hatred we harbor for our enemies, the stronger our curses shall become. MedeaChat24 Medea (Medea_0175): You may have blessings from the gods above, but I can offer something they cannot. MedeaChat25 Medea (Medea_0176): Great Hecate has taught you well, but if someone so much as touches you, I'll make them suffer. MedeaChat26 Medea (Medea_0177): The air is {#Emph}absolutely {#Prev}putrid this eve; I almost didn't hear you come in, sorceress! MedeaChat27 Medea (Medea_0564): The dead shall long for the comfort of their graves once {#Emph}we {#Prev}are through with them. MedeaChat28 Medea (Medea_0565): The Moon isn't bright, the night is cold, the dead are writhing in the Earth; I've no complaints! MedeaChat29 Medea (Medea_0566): The pouring rain is bad for my concoctions though does provide a certain wretchedness. MedeaChat30 Medea (Medea_0567): What an {#Emph}absolutely {#Prev}dreadful night! I scarce imagine how conditions for my work could be improved. MedeaChat31 Medea (Medea_0568): My little pharmacy has limited supply, for I only offer the freshest of ingredients... MedeaChat32 Medea (Medea_0569): Do watch your back out there lest someone give it a good stabbing, sorceress. MedeaFirstMeeting Medea (Medea_0002): Hail, sorceress! Welcome to Ephyra. Suffering spreads every which way you cast your gaze, and on a night most foul. Simply appalling, no? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0253): Indeed, Lady Medea. Unfortunately, I can only appreciate the suffering for so long, as Olympus calls. Though, how fares your research? Medea (Medea_0003): Oh, I've been {#Emph}dying {#Prev}to show you! The air here's {#Emph}absolutely {#Prev}poisonous. The conditions? Utterly atrocious! Observe what I have wrought... MedeaGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3303): I almost pity our enemies, knowing you shall make them rue each night they dare oppose us, Lady Medea. Please, I wanted you to have this. Medea (Medea_0056): The Nectar of the gods! Why, this shall be most useful to my work. For the strongest curses come from honeyed words! Here, let me make this worth your while. MedeaGift02 Medea (Medea_0057): Another Nectar bottle you can spare on my behalf? Oh, this shall be a splendid complement with several much less pleasant ingredients, whose aroma this ought to disguise! Melinoe (Melinoe_3300): I shudder to think what concoction you have in mind, though trust you shall make use of that in service to our cause. MedeaGift03 Medea (Medea_0058): One always could see plain your talent, sorceress; but truth be told, I thought your heart would be a liability. Perhaps, however... I was wrong in that. Melinoe (Melinoe_3301): I'm thankful for your faith in me. My heart is never so assertive that it would lead me astray. Or so I tell myself, anyway... MedeaGift04 Medea (Medea_0059): The gods of Olympus have not always been particularly kind. Yet you, a true-blood relative of theirs, would show me favor for little more than carrying out my oath to Great Hecate? Unnecessary, this; I've only curses in return. Melinoe (Melinoe_3302): You're so much more than your curses, Lady Medea. Perhaps the gods of Olympus and the dead never told you so, but I believe it's true. MedeaGift05 Medea (Medea_0233): Keep sweetening this atmosphere and it may start to undermine my craft...! I cannot stand over my cauldron thinking all these pleasant thoughts. Imagine the result! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3938): I certainly can. You're one of the greatest practitioners of our craft I have ever known. The depth of your ability is beyond compare, and surely its breadth is boundless too. MedeaGift06 Medea (Medea_0234): Repeated acts of kindness tend to rouse my innermost suspicions or my wrath, but in your case... what little ulterior motive I detect seems more or less benign. And now I've more than enough Nectar for my purposes, thank you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3939): You're most welcome. I've likewise always needed to be guarded, as our enemies abound. So when I come to trust someone, I want them to know it. Medea (Medea_0235): ...I do appreciate the thought. MedeaGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3941): For your devotion to our cause, Lady Medea! You may have all the Nectar you require, but I'd like you to have this, too. Though it may not be suitable for your concoctions. Medea (Medea_0238): You would regard me as some goddess from on high, with such a precious gift. If you but knew me better, you'd rescind the offer on the spot. This is unnecessary, sorceress; as you observed, I cannot use it anyway. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3942): You could enjoy it...? Perhaps with me or someone else. Or simply keep it. Medea (Medea_0239): Perhaps... yes, thank you. MedeaGift08 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3943): Since Ambrosia can be so good as to leave you desiring more, I wanted you to have this. For being quite possibly the most welcome sight in all Ephyra. Medea (Medea_0240): To have been blessed by one such as you, after having cursed so very many, however much they had it coming... I've merely done my service to Great Hecate in working with you, sorceress. You need not compensate me more. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3944): It isn't compensation, merely a gift. Your past is your business; I know only the Lady Medea whom I've met and come to understand. She is so much the sorceress I've aspired to be... with less emphasis on cursing, but still. Medea (Medea_0241): You were so young when first we met... I thought as you grew older, you would harden, grow crueler, as many of us do. Yet you have proven quite resistant, and in turn... you've made me more resistant to it, too. I'm most grateful. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3945): You're most welcome. MedeaGiftTears01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4338): This should be what you sought: one vial of vaporized Tears from the Mourning Fields. May you use it well. Medea (Medea_0271): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, this is it! To think of all the sorrow concentrated here. I shall be working with this very soon. Thank you {#Emph}so {#Prev}much! MedeaGrantsHiddenAspect01 Medea (Medea_0185): How the dead are drawn to you, sorceress; I've seen it plain! Even the Skull of Revaal must worship the ground beneath your feet! I dreamt of her quite recently, in fact... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3498): Of all the Nocturnal Arms, Revaal's connection to the dead perhaps is the strongest. What happened in the dream? Medea (Medea_0186): It sent a shiver down my spine. I was in the Underworld, yet not the one we know! It was so very cold... and there sat a fierce Queen; not your mother, mind you. And she intoned, {#Emph}I see you gather countless dead in cold and dark domains. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3499): {#Emph}I see you gather countless dead in cold and dark domains. {#Prev}She must have given you a waking-phrase! Did she believe you still to be the bearer of the Argent Skull? Medea (Medea_0187): I doubt that... because it's {#Emph}you {#Prev}we saw bearing the Skull, not {#Emph}I. {#Prev}My time with her for now has passed. Yours, it seems, may be only beginning... MedeaGrantsHypnosSpell01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3813): Wanted to mention, Lord Hypnos still is slumbering in the Crossroads. I tried Dream Vapors on him to no avail. Can you think of anything more potent, perhaps? Medea (Medea_0256): Well, I can think of how to make Dream Vapors {#Emph}more {#Prev}potent, sorceress! They practically could rouse the dead. As for that dormant son of Nyx, who knows? But little harm in trying! MedeaGrantsHypnosSpell02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3948): Your stronger Dream Vapors helped me get deeper into the psyche of Lord Hypnos, but unfortunately not deep enough. He's still dozing away. Anything else I can try? Medea (Medea_0257): Oh, there's always something. Rearrange some pieces of his mind, perhaps. Have you tried stabbing him repeatedly? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3949): I was thinking more along the lines of his connection to his brother, the incarnate of Death. Is there some way to imbue the Dream Vapors with the essence of the dead? Medea (Medea_0258): Why certainly, the properties of Sleep and Death go hand in hand. I think I can point you in the right direction on that one! Do tell me how it goes...? MedeaHubFirstMeeting01 Medea (Medea_0065): So many more Shades of the dead now linger here! And the earthy aroma, quite unlike before. These Crossroads changed since last I visited! Melinoe (Melinoe_2510): Welcome back to the abode, Lady Medea. What brings you here, and will you be staying with us for a little while? Medea (Medea_0066): No, I am Great Hecate's eyes upon the surface. But the night is young, and I've business with the Broker there; a surplus of Bones to exchange. See you above and below, sorceress. Melinoe (Melinoe_1256_B): See you. MedeaHubGreeting.VoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_3035): Lady Medea...! Medea (Medea_0071): Good evening! MedeaLowHealth01 Medea (Medea_0183): Forgive my gawking, sorceress, but you've clearly suffered on your way... might I perhaps take a quick sample of your blood? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3947): No thank you, Lady Medea. My night is off to a wretched enough start. As long as I can salvage it somehow. Medea (Medea_0184): Well suit yourself. And if it makes you feel any better, our enemies soon shall accrue far worse ailments. MedeaMiscStart01 Medea (Medea_0603): You bear my favored Aspect of Revaal! The Cyclops truly is in for it now. MedeaMiscStart02 Medea (Medea_0604): The Aspect of the Goddess Hel... I shall enjoy bearing witness to her power. MedeaMiscStart03 Medea (Medea_0605): The Moon is full and getting in my eyes... on such an eve, I envy you, Lord Polyphemus. MedeaMiscStart04 Medea (Medea_0606): I was right in the middle of a new concoction, but I'd abandon {#Emph}anything {#Prev}for {#Emph}this. MedeaMiscStart05 Medea (Medea_0607): There really is quite a distinct aroma here, between the corpses and the shepherd's flock... MedeaMiscStart06 Medea (Medea_0370): My poisons are for mortal use, but also work on goddesses. MedeaMiscStart07 Medea (Medea_0351): Let's have another brush with death now, sorceress. MedeaMiscStart08 Medea (Medea_0352): Come demonstrate to us your knowledge of the necromantic arts. MedeaMiscStart09 Medea (Medea_0353): Great Hecate requires me to test your wherewithal, if you would be so kind? MedeaMiscStart10 Medea (Medea_0354): I shall not hesitate to draw some of your blood here, sorceress. MedeaMiscStart11 Medea (Medea_0355): All my research has made me welcome this as a refreshing change of pace. MedeaMiscStart12 Medea (Medea_0356): Perhaps I have {#Emph}already {#Prev}cursed you, sorceress! Let's see you break the spell. MedeaMiscStart13 Medea (Medea_0357): Careful, lest I cut that tender throat of yours like that of a mewling babe. MedeaMiscStart14 Medea (Medea_0358): Sacrifices must be made on nights such as this. Yours or mine ought to suffice. MedeaMiscStart15 Medea (Medea_0359): As blood is shortly to be drawn, rest easy knowing not one drop shall go to waste. MedeaMiscStart16 Medea (Medea_0360): Know that your youth does not entitle you to mercy, sorceress. MedeaMiscStart17 Medea (Medea_0361): Come, sorceress! Seek vengeance now for what we did to you before... MedeaMiscStart18 Medea (Medea_0362): I heed the summons of the will of Night. Indeed, I'm more than happy to oblige. MedeaMiscStart19 Medea (Medea_0363): You spoke the Vow of Rivals, so as mortals sometimes say: {#Emph}You asked for this. MedeaMiscStart20 Medea (Medea_0364): My craft can kill most anything in moments, but not {#Emph}you. {#Prev}It may prove quite unpleasant though. MedeaMiscStart21 Medea (Medea_0365): How is it that you're so resistant to my curses, sorceress...? MedeaMiscStart22 Medea (Medea_0366): ...Well, Lord Polyphemus. Perhaps we might catch up some more some other eve. MedeaMiscStart23 Medea (Medea_0367): When you invoke the will of Night, you'd best not flinch. MedeaPostTrueEnding01 Medea (Medea_0243): Great Hecate herself was generous enough to notify me of your latest exploits, sorceress. And I wouldn't have believed a word of it had I been told by {#Emph}any {#Prev}other being save for her. So then, the Titan Lord has truly been de-fanged? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4229): So it seems, Lady Medea. And the monstrosity that loomed over Olympus is gone, too. Some traces of both threats remain, but we think we can handle them. Medea (Medea_0244): You apparently can handle {#Emph}anything. {#Prev}My only fear is that this means we may not see each other quite as often as we have, and... shall I be forced to leave Ephyra soon? So that mortals may then rob this city of its character... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4230): That won't be an immediate concern. The Underworld will not go back to how it used to be for quite some time; the dead shall have to wallow for a while longer. Medea (Medea_0245): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, how {#Emph}utterly terrible! {#Prev}But only for the dead. As for me personally, why... {#Emph}I {#Prev}don't even know whom to {#Emph}curse! MedeaPostTrueEnding02 Medea (Medea_0599): Great Hecate still hasn't told me how exactly you managed to induce within the Titan Lord a reawakening of sorts. No mere curse, that... so much she has yet to teach me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4723): {#Emph}The greatest teacher is out there{#Prev}, she always says, though, right? But, I feel the same way. For as long as I've known Headmistress, there's so much to her that I can't even begin to understand. Medea (Medea_0600): We dwell in shadows; so it must be. But I take comfort knowing if ever I truly felt alone, in the crippling, pathetic way mortals refer to their abandonment... then I can always call on her, or you. MelinoeHideAndSeek01 Chronos (Chronos_1419): There you are, at last! You might have kept me searching for a while yet, that you found such a secure hiding-point amid those shadows! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5056): It sure took you long enough! I was beginning to think I might never see you again! Chronos (Chronos_1420): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}That is precisely what your father said when Zagreus first brought me here! Well, are we to suffer through another round? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5057): No... this game is too easy. Tell me another one of your tales! About the Golden Age! Chronos (Chronos_1421): Perhaps when you are older, lest your father be displeased. If {#Emph}you {#Prev}defy him, you merely get a mild reprimand. If {#Emph}I {#Prev}defy him, I get cut to little bite-sized bits, which then are sprinkled throughout Tartarus! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5058): {#Emph}Haha, ew! {#Prev}Well if Father ever does that, I shall simply go find all the bits and put you back together again! Chronos (Chronos_1422): Spoken with the generosity of youth. You are the only one around here who would say such things, Melinoë. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5059): Truly? But, don't the others like you, Grandfather? Chronos (Chronos_1423): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, they can never get enough of me, my girl, except... we still have had our differences. But let me not concern you with the past. The only time that matters is right now. And right now... Chronos (Chronos_1424): {#Emph}Tag! {#Prev}You are it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5060): {#Emph}Haha!

MorosAboutArachne01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2080): Lord Moros, I've a friend who lives in the woods called Arachne. Long story, but she was on the receiving end of a powerful curse that... changed her into a spider. Do you deal in curses at all? Moros (Moros_0169): I remember the case of Arachne. I didn't know what became of her after her metamorphosis, so... it's interesting to learn that you are friends. But no... I'm afraid curses aren't my specialty. Melinoe (Melinoe_2081): You called it {#Emph}the case of Arachne. {#Prev}She was thought to be the greatest weaver in the world, greater than the gods... greater even than the {#Emph}Fates? {#Prev}Unwelcome competition, perhaps...? Moros (Moros_0170): ...Perhaps. MorosAboutArrangement01 Moros (Moros_0380): I've come to value our companionship, Princess, so there's something you should know about me in case it becomes pertinent to us... I'm promised to another, by the Fates. Melinoe (Melinoe_4597): Promised to another, as in, you are betrothed? Well then, congratulations are in order I should think! Though to whom, if I may ask...? If the Fates even let on. Moros (Moros_0381): Well, at the risk of being overly direct, I've concluded that she isn't you. The Fates described her as the morning light, whose luminance breaks through the darkness and reveals the beauty of the world. You're... well, different than that. Melinoe (Melinoe_4598): Oh... that could be Eos, I suppose. I know her sister Selene the Moon rather well, but am not very familiar with Dawn. Are you supposed to seek her out? Moros (Moros_0382): I fear I do not know. She and I are to meet at some point, but apparently not yet. When first you and I met, I thought perhaps... that I might find her in this place. Melinoe (Melinoe_4599): It's dark here; I don't think you shall. Moros (Moros_0383): I realize that now. MorosAboutArrangement02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4627): About this goddess to whom you're betrothed. If she really is Eos the incarnate of Dawn, perhaps I could facilitate an introduction through her sister, if you like? Moros (Moros_0420): Oh, {#Emph}um{#Prev}, well, I wouldn't want for you to go out of your way, or for Selene, for that matter. You have a vital task, and I know that the Moon herself is aiding you. Melinoe (Melinoe_4628): But, you said you thought you might find her here. Perhaps the Three Fates knew you'd come to us eventually, and that I'd set you on the path to meet your love? Moros (Moros_0421): Princess, if this prophecy concerning me and the one to whom I have been promised hasn't appeared on the Fated List, then there truly is no need for you to intervene. Melinoe (Melinoe_4629): You don't sound all that enthusiastic about it. Do you not want to meet this goddess at some point? Moros (Moros_0422): We are {#Emph}bound {#Prev}to meet; whether I want to or not is irrelevant. Melinoe (Melinoe_4630): But... suit yourself. MorosAboutArrangement03 Moros (Moros_0423): You took some interest in this goddess to whom I am said to be bound, presuming she is Eos, the incarnate of Dawn. The truth is, when the Fates first told me about her, I grew rather frustrated. Melinoe (Melinoe_4631): I would have probably been frustrated as well. Did your sisters foresee this union, or arrange it? Perhaps they sought to unite your powerful family with that of a Titaness. Moros (Moros_0424): In typical fashion, they revealed little. But the way in which they kept describing this goddess, or Titaness, and telling me how contented I would be... it was the first time I questioned their wisdom. Not {#Emph}outwardly{#Prev}, of course. Melinoe (Melinoe_4632): They probably meant well, but... what is it you intend to do? Moros (Moros_0425): If I am doomed to be with Dawn, then so be it. But I shall not be forcing that outcome along. I would much prefer to remain here... if you'll have me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4633): The choice ought to be yours. MorosAboutArtemisSinging01 Moros (Moros_0493): You sing beautifully, Princess. One of the Three Fates likes to hum while she weaves, but sounds nothing like you. Melinoe (Melinoe_4755): It's mostly Artemis whose voice carries so strongly through this clearing, though thank you. We sometimes sing like this in preparation for the night. Moros (Moros_0494): The goddess of the hunt and you seem rather close. The other Olympians less so, true? Melinoe (Melinoe_4756): Besides Lord Hermes, I met most of the others one by one around the time you first showed up. Moros (Moros_0495): So many new acquaintances. MorosAboutBountyBoard01 Moros (Moros_0180): A Pitch-Black Stone has been here this entire time, and I failed to detect it. I fear I'm beginning to slip up more often than acceptable. Melinoe (Melinoe_3119): It was inert just recently, Lord Moros. Until your grandparent gave me an idea for how to see the possibilities within. Though, perhaps I ought have checked with you first. You're troubled... Moros (Moros_0311): Well, it's just... Chaos and my sisters didn't always get along. Chaos wanted everything to be possible... while the Fates, their desire is for things a certain way. But, they would all agree that you should use the Stone as you see fit. Melinoe (Melinoe_3120): Nothing like a Pitch-Black Stone to bring the family together, right? Moros (Moros_0312): Right. MorosAboutChaos01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3116): How well would you say you know your grandparent, Lord Moros? I'd not expected to meet Primordial Chaos of all beings. But they summoned me to their domain, and... I don't quite know what they want from me. Moros (Moros_0304): Chaos summoned you...? That is unusual, though not entirely without precedent. And in this case, I can imagine why. Chaos and Mother Nyx were rather close, after all. Melinoe (Melinoe_3117): So Chaos seeks their daughter. They did mention something about a quandary. Moros (Moros_0305): This isn't the first time they took an interest in your family. Or took action that the Fates themselves likely never preordained. I choose to think you've made a new ally. Melinoe (Melinoe_3118): I hope you're right. MorosAboutChaos02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3152): I learned what happened to the Fates, Lord Moros. Or rather, how Chronos discovered where they were. It was Chaos who led Chronos to them. Chaos, of course, seems to regret this now, and I don't think had any ill intent... Moros (Moros_0309): Oh. That is a lot of information to take in. It does make some amount of sense. Chronos, having free reign in your father's House, eventually found his way to Chaos, then coaxed this vital information out of them. Then, he ambushed the Fates, as part of his plans for conquest. Melinoe (Melinoe_3153): You're taking all this better than I would have. Come to think of it, I've never seen you angry. Moros (Moros_0310): You're seeing me right now. It's just, my anger changes nothing, typically. So Chaos now is working to undo some of the damage caused? Chronos removed one threat in the Fates, but created another. Perhaps an unwise trade. Melinoe (Melinoe_3154): Making a mockery of Chaos seems unwise to me! MorosAboutChronosBossW01 Moros (Moros_0306): How far were you able to go last night, Princess? You were gone for some time. I sensed the growing fear and excitement in the air, even heard some of the rumblings. Melinoe (Melinoe_3150): If the rumblings were that I reached the depths of Tartarus, broke into my father's stolen House, confronted Chronos there, and outfought him, then you heard correctly. Hardly a final victory, but still. Moros (Moros_0307): I would object to anyone but you diminishing such a victory. Is this not a vitally important component of the task you've been entrusted to complete? Melinoe (Melinoe_3151): Well, yes it is, but... Moros (Moros_0308): Then congratulations, and may the Fates avail your next move. MorosAboutChronosBossW02 Moros (Moros_0433): Chronos fell to you once more, that much I heard. It's an impressive feat, although... you mean to bring him death, yet he is deathless. This seems to be a paradox. Melinoe (Melinoe_4697): That's right. Mortal death is not the end, but mortals often think it is. When we say {#Emph}Death to Chronos{#Prev}, we mean it in that absolute way. As impossible as it may seem. Moros (Moros_0434): So then, to vanquish him must be at least a step toward that end. What shall become of everything if you succeed and Time is truly killed? A world without Time... Melinoe (Melinoe_4698): ...A world without ruin and decay; our world existed before Time and can exist without. Moros (Moros_0435): Another paradox, yet one that must be true. MorosAboutCrossroads01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0880): Hail, Lord Moros. How have you been acclimating so far? Is there something we can do to make your stay more comfortable? Moros (Moros_0042): No, Princess, I'm well, and acclimating, as you say. I've never been to such a place as this! And making every effort not to be a nuisance here. Melinoe (Melinoe_0693): You're welcome here and safe. MorosAboutDeath01 Moros (Moros_0165): If you don't mind me asking, Princess: Have you ever died before? Not in the mortal sense, it's just... you seem to have exceptional tenacity in moments most gods couldn't endure. Melinoe (Melinoe_2076): I cannot afford to lose my grip on consciousness out there. Headmistress taught me always to return to shadows with my final bit of strength. I learned the hard way, but I learned. Moros (Moros_0166): It shows. Remarkable, to have met someone equally as comfortable with death as well as life. I practically see it in your eyes. Melinoe (Melinoe_2077): It's not a big concern. MorosAboutDoom01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0881): What did you use to do, Lord Moros? I mean before all this. I have only the vaguest sense of it. Moros (Moros_0043): I served my sisters the Three Fates, both as their advocate, and as their guardian. The Fates determine when mortal lives draw to a close, and also sometimes {#Emph}how. {#Prev}I would bear witness to these more-specific weavings... Melinoe (Melinoe_0882): The mortals must have appreciated your diligence. Has somebody else since taken over your responsibilities? Moros (Moros_0044): {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}You could say that, I suppose. MorosAboutDoom02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0883): The Shades around here... I know they've been avoiding you, Lord Moros. Some are filled with fear. Others with contempt. You ended their lives? Moros (Moros_0045): It never was for me to decide why a mortal's life should suddenly be cut short. But, I did get to choose the {#Emph}how {#Prev}of it. Knowing the future could be monotonous work, so my sisters and I tried to keep things... interesting. Melinoe (Melinoe_0884): You brought misery to mortals because you were bored? Moros (Moros_0046): I'm not proud of it. Especially not when you put it {#Emph}that {#Prev}way. And I regret I've caused dissension in your ranks. Melinoe (Melinoe_0885): I'll handle it. MorosAboutDoom03 Moros (Moros_0047): You said something before to me, Princess. Concerning mortalkind. That surely they {#Emph}appreciate my diligence{#Prev}, because I'm with them in the final moments of their lives. The truth of it, however, is they hate me; most of them. In life, as well as death. Melinoe (Melinoe_0886): I appreciate your candor. What you say aligns with some of the rumblings I've heard from Shades loyal to us. Though it's strange, Lord Moros. Your reputation is one thing; but {#Emph}you{#Prev}, it seems, are entirely another. Moros (Moros_0048): {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}From you, Princess, I'll take that as a compliment. Melinoe (Melinoe_0887): It {#Emph}was {#Prev}a compliment. MorosAboutDoom04 Melinoe (Melinoe_4772): What were some of your favorite examples of the work you and your sisters did? Particularly inventive ends delivered with theatrics, anything like that? Moros (Moros_0679): Oh, where to start? Children slaughtering their parents was an old standby of ours; I'm reluctant to choose our best. There also was the war from which I first took notice of Master Odysseus. That had some good ones. Melinoe (Melinoe_4773): The part where mortals perished in the throes of agony and terror, leaving behind loved ones to bitterly mourn their loss... you were unmoved by all of that? Moros (Moros_0680): We have a responsibility to the realm that takes precedence. And besides, mortals don't realize that everything ends up all right for most of them. Melinoe (Melinoe_4774): Perhaps we haven't done enough to promote the way the Underworld operates. Or used to. Moros (Moros_0681): As long as mortals fear us still. MorosAboutDora01 Moros (Moros_0167): Your companion Dora... she's a lively one. Especially for her age. Most of the dead grow quite lethargic over time. Although I suppose things have been more eventful recently. Melinoe (Melinoe_2078): Dora seems to be quite intrigued by you, Lord Moros. Call it a morbid fascination. You mention her age... she doesn't seem to have any recollection of such details. But, you can just tell? Moros (Moros_0168): I have my ways. Dora is... well, she's not the eldest one here, though she's been around longer than most. That much is safe for me to divulge. Melinoe (Melinoe_2079): Huh. MorosAboutDoraMemories01 Moros (Moros_0490): Something seems to have occurred with your companion Dora. She hasn't been as keen to make her remarks or possess my belongings. Is she all right? Melinoe (Melinoe_4753): Yes, I think so. Something's been nagging at her for a while that she's finally started to sort out. She may well tell you more about it at some point. Moros (Moros_0491): I think I may already know. Well, she's an old soul but a strong one. And fortunate to have you as a friend. Do you suppose there's something I may do to help? Melinoe (Melinoe_4754): Act frightened from her hauntings. She loves that. Moros (Moros_0492): Certainly she's startled me before... MorosAboutEpilogueProgress01 Moros (Moros_0457): While you were out, the Fated List... it started shaking, and scrolled over to a prophecy I'd never seen, and already fulfilled. I think there may be more to it, but... Melinoe (Melinoe_4796): You're not supposed to tell me any more than that, I know. I think I have an idea of what that prophecy concerned, as the Fated List revealed some more to me as well. Moros (Moros_0458): I'm attempting to understand what could have prompted such a change. You'll follow where the List is leading, yes? Melinoe (Melinoe_4797): You have my word. MorosAboutEris01 Moros (Moros_0317): I'd ask what my sister Eris is doing here, but then they say {#Emph}wheresoever goes Doom, Strife follows. {#Prev}Or the other way around, whether I like it or not. Has she been here long? Melinoe (Melinoe_3158): She comes and goes from time to time, typically after some bloody battle between the forces of Chronos and Olympus. We first met a while back. Briefly trained together though Headmistress soon gave up on her, as patient as she is. Moros (Moros_0318): The Fates gave up on her as well. Ordered that we never interact, that I not clean her messes anymore; although sometimes she'll goad a conversation out of me. I trust she hasn't made your lives too difficult? Melinoe (Melinoe_3159): We've managed. MorosAboutEris02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3160): Eris outright attacked me, just as I was approaching Mount Olympus. Who gave her the Adamant Rail, anyway? A weapon once used to slay Titans, turned against the gods... Moros (Moros_0319): The Rail {#Emph}has {#Prev}turned against the gods before. Only the Fates know its true and final purpose... but Eris has it by {#Emph}their {#Prev}own decree. Perhaps as a plaything to keep her occupied. Melinoe (Melinoe_3161): To keep {#Emph}me {#Prev}occupied, apparently. Makes me wonder if the Fates want Chronos stopped, or not. Did you and Eris ever fight like this? Moros (Moros_0320): Oh, yes. Much as I tried to avoid it. MorosAboutFates01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0891): Lord Moros... I understand you can't reveal the weavings of the Fates. But, could you just tell me what the three of them are like? Moros (Moros_0051): My sisters. They... well each is her own goddess, I suppose. Clotho the spinstress is the talkative one, the decisive one. Lachesis is a little more agreeable; she apportions the thread. And Atropos, she sticks to the cutting. Melinoe (Melinoe_0892): It must be a little imposing, knowing your sisters determine the course of every life. Even your own? Moros (Moros_0052): Even my own. MorosAboutFates02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2998): ...My task began immediately following reports that Chronos found a way to gain the upper hand against Olympus. We just didn't know which sort of way. But, now I think I do: your sisters the Three Fates... he got them, didn't he? Is that why you're here? Moros (Moros_0157): ...You ask while making clear to me that you already know. I ought to have been there when it happened. Perhaps the Fates knew I lacked the strength to protect them; so they protected me. Melinoe (Melinoe_0894): How did he find them? What does he want from them? Moros (Moros_0054): I don't know how he found them. Few beings with knowledge of their whereabouts exist. As to what he wants from them... and this is a conjecture of my own... surely he'll try to influence their weavings from here on. Melinoe (Melinoe_0895): Oh... MorosAboutFates03 Melinoe (Melinoe_0896): Lord Moros, you said before you think Chronos is going to influence the weavings of the Fates. You mean he's going to try to change the future? Force a favorable outcome? Moros (Moros_0055): Yes. I think he's already trying to do just that. Unfortunately for him, the Three Fates can be a bit headstrong. I trust they may be quite resistant as captives. Melinoe (Melinoe_0897): I can't imagine Chronos tolerating insolence, whether from your sisters or anybody else. How he must hate them! When he was overthrown before, that was the outcome of a fated prophecy... Moros (Moros_0056): Indeed. As for now, I sense there are no weavings happening at all. No new futures foretold. Chronos believes he has no prophecy to fear. Yet, I believe this is an opportunity for you. To make a better future for us all. Melinoe (Melinoe_0898): {#Emph} MorosAboutFates04 Moros (Moros_0151): Your family has been of keen interest to the Fates for some time, hasn't it? Ever since Chronos learned he was doomed to be usurped by his own children. Melinoe (Melinoe_2064): A prophecy that was only fulfilled because Chronos learned of it, and desperately tried to prevent it from coming to pass. Perhaps I'd have an easier time with the Fated List if I try to thwart it at every turn. Moros (Moros_0152): I wouldn't second-guess too much. Later your father and uncles drew lots to divide up their rule of the world. By {#Emph}chance{#Prev}, your father wound up with the least desirable part, didn't he? Melinoe (Melinoe_2065): Perhaps the Underworld best suited him. So now it's {#Emph}my {#Prev}turn to see that the will of the Fates is done? If they even planned this far ahead. Moros (Moros_0153): They {#Emph}were {#Prev}captured, so this can't all be according to their plan. But they are counting on your aid. Melinoe (Melinoe_2066): I appreciate their confidence. MorosAboutFates05 Melinoe (Melinoe_2069): How can you be so certain that there are no more weavings taking place? That rather than the Fates setting the course of our lives, there's no pattern anymore... only sheer, mindless chance? Moros (Moros_0158): I never said I was certain... only that I no longer sensed my sisters' work, and it's a relatively well-honed sense. But, I've also never been apart from my sisters like this. I feel... unmoored. Melinoe (Melinoe_2070): As though you don't know where you're going. To me, everything feels the same as ever. Present circumstances notwithstanding. How much control did the Fates truly have? Moros (Moros_0159): They are highly influential, I can tell you that. But can they force your every action, every thought? Of course not. You are conscious. It was your choice to speak with me just now. Melinoe (Melinoe_2071): But the Fates knew we'd meet. Moros (Moros_0160): Precisely. MorosAboutForesight01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0899): You used to know everything that was going to occur, didn't you, Lord Moros? Up until recently, from what I gathered. I can't imagine... Moros (Moros_0057): Well, imagine it being rather dull, always knowing what's to come. But now I'm no different than you. How do you... get by like this? Many surprises are unwelcome, yet there also can be pleasant ones, true? Melinoe (Melinoe_0900): I'm sure it helps that I don't know it any other way. This must be very difficult for you. Moros (Moros_0058): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}Yes. MorosAboutForesight02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0901): Something the matter, Lord Moros? You seem more ill-at-ease than usual. If there's additional bad news you're at liberty to share, I'm listening. Moros (Moros_0059): Oh, {#Emph}haha! {#Prev}It's nothing of the sort, at least for now, Princess. It's just... this sensation of uncertainty. Not just in the grander scheme, but even from one evening to the next... I'm still unused to it. Melinoe (Melinoe_0902): There can be pleasure in the unexpected. But even those of us who never had the gift of foresight struggle in the way that you describe. For me, it helps to focus on a present state of mind. In being here right now. Moros (Moros_0060): The now... thank you, Princess... MorosAboutForesight03 Moros (Moros_0061): I've been attempting what you said before, to focus on a present state of mind. It's proving difficult, because... my mind invariably drifts to many possibilities of negative outcomes. Melinoe (Melinoe_0903): I'm familiar with that feeling. We have to consider favorable outcomes side-by-side, and plan for them. Then, at a certain point, all we can do is hope... Moros (Moros_0062): Hope... I much prefer a sense of certainty. It's odd to think that my sisters the Fates, to others, represent sheer chance. Matters beyond one's control. Yet to me, they made everything so clear... I'd rather trust than hope. Melinoe (Melinoe_0904): You can do both. MorosAboutHecateKidnapped01 Moros (Moros_0449): I've not seen the Witch of the Crossroads recently, Princess. Do you know where she may be? Melinoe (Melinoe_4788): I have an idea, yes. I have to go. MorosAboutHiddenAspect01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4586): The phrase you told me ended up revealing a new Aspect of the Umbral Flames, of a dark god known as Supay. Is that name at all familiar to you? Moros (Moros_0372_B): Not until now. The Fates presumably chose each and every bearer of the Arms of Night. Those bearers may not be bound by blood, but are connected still. And it seems I was to be your link to this Supay... Melinoe (Melinoe_4587): How can it be that there are Underworld gods that neither of us know? Most of them must be your mother's side. Moros (Moros_0373): I couldn't say. Perhaps there shall be other Underworlds besides our own. Or there already are. Melinoe (Melinoe_4588): That's quite far-fetched. Moros (Moros_0374): True. MorosAboutHypnos01 Moros (Moros_0475): I noticed Hypnos was no longer in his spot, though for how long, I couldn't say. Perhaps Odysseus had him relocated someplace where the snoring would be less of a distraction. Melinoe (Melinoe_4812): Oh no, I woke him up. Required a series of increasingly complex alchemical processes and dreamwalks, but still. He immediately left for the House of Hades in a bit of a panic. Moros (Moros_0476): I'm sorry I missed him! From what I know about your father, he does value punctuality. And from what I know about my brother Sleep, he must have greeted you enthusiastically. Melinoe (Melinoe_4813): You could say that. MorosAboutKeepsake01 Moros (Moros_0178): The artifact I gave to you... it can forestall the inevitable. Almost like a {#Emph}Doom Repellant{#Prev}... except, it works in the opposite way. Such technicalities aside, I trust it shall be of some benefit. Melinoe (Melinoe_2090): I'm certain it shall. Sometimes all I need is a few moments more. So if I use your Pin, you get to accompany me on my evenings out? Moros (Moros_0179): Only in the final moments of your evenings, I'm afraid. Of course, we also have the evenings here... Melinoe (Melinoe_2091): Then I'll be seeing you around. MorosAboutMorosAspect01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3155): I figured that you knew something of the Nocturnal Arms, Lord Moros. But your connection to Ygnium, I'd not have guessed. You once wielded the Umbral Flames yourself! I revealed an Aspect of them that could only be your own. Moros (Moros_0432): Princess, I take it you're not saying this for sake of jest, so please believe in turn that I have never used the Flames before; I know them only by reputation. Can you be certain that this Aspect is my own? I've many relatives... Melinoe (Melinoe_3156): I... yes, I think it is! The Nocturnal Arms bond with their bearers in such a way that their connections to other bearers become almost like shared memories. Although... Moros (Moros_0316): ...Although, these glimpses can be both of bearers past, and still to come, true? So it may be that I shall bear those Flames in some other age in which the realm's in need. I... trust the Fates must have wanted me to know in advance. Melinoe (Melinoe_3157): Well, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}surprise...! MorosAboutNemesis01 Moros (Moros_0120): Forgive me if I overstep, Princess. It's just... it seems to me that you and Nemesis don't always get along... Melinoe (Melinoe_0931): Whatever could have given you such an impression, Lord Moros? Perhaps all our incessant squabbles over petty things? Moros (Moros_0121): They can't be petty things if they're of your concern, or for that matter, hers. I understand there's some dispute about your task. You were chosen for it, she was not. True? Melinoe (Melinoe_0932): That's true. Nemesis trained hard, but so have I. The choice was never mine, yet she blames me. Moros (Moros_0122): If I know Nemesis, she blames herself. Although, she takes it out on you, that I can see. If anyone, she ought to blame the Fates... Melinoe (Melinoe_0933): I know, right? MorosAboutNemesis02 Moros (Moros_0171): You and Nemesis appear to have been interacting in a more productive way of late. If I may ask, what changed between you two? Melinoe (Melinoe_2082): I think we're becoming more comfortable with our respective roles in all of this. And perhaps Nemesis has finally gained a modicum of faith in my ability. Moros (Moros_0172): I see... although I think there's something more. Her respect for you doesn't seem newly formed. Melinoe (Melinoe_2083): Could have fooled me. MorosAboutNyx01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0888): You must know the Three Fates better than anyone, besides maybe Nyx, herself! {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, though, forgive me for invoking her... Moros (Moros_0049): It's quite all right. The Fates, I know full well, but Mother Nyx...? We saw her seldomly. The nature of our work was such that even she would almost never get involved. Besides, she'd many other children to attend to. Melinoe (Melinoe_0889): I'm sorry to hear that. My mother's the Queen. We've never even met since I was an infant. Nobody around here seems to know their blasted mothers, come to think! Moros (Moros_0050): Come now, the mothers can't be blamed. We children {#Emph}are {#Prev}insufferable at times. Melinoe (Melinoe_0890): {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}True. MorosAboutOdysseus01 Moros (Moros_0173): I'm attempting to contain my enthusiasm for the venerable hero of mortalkind over there, Princess. Our adversary may be crafty, but Odysseus is renowned for his wiles above all! Melinoe (Melinoe_2084): It figures you would be familiar with the Great Tactician! Likely he evaded you at least once or twice in his life, if his many tales are to be believed. Moros (Moros_0174): Oh, they're to be believed, I can attest. MorosAboutPostEndingChronosBossW01 Moros (Moros_0469): Another victory within the depths of Tartarus... except now, your fight requires you to transcend space and time, with assistance from your grandfather, of course. True...? Melinoe (Melinoe_4808): True, as far as I can understand, Lord Moros. Headmistress notified you of these new details, then? You don't sound terribly surprised. Moros (Moros_0470): I assure you that my inability to sound terribly surprised does not prevent my feeling so. You have many such battles left to fight? Melinoe (Melinoe_4809): Whenever time permits. Moros (Moros_0471): Then to your many victories to come. MorosAboutPostEndingTyphonW01 Moros (Moros_0472): Are your attempts to scale the mountain of the gods less difficult at least, now than before? The war with Chronos having ended surely must bring some relief. Melinoe (Melinoe_4810): Well on that front, not too much has changed as yet. Apparently it's important for the stalemate between the Titan's legions and Olympus to persist, for sake of our clean-up efforts. Moros (Moros_0473): So then your fight continues as before, except without a burning vengeance for your family to compel you. What is the motivating factor now? Melinoe (Melinoe_4811): Oh, where to start... I have some matters that I wish to see resolved. And, just to see what happens, I suppose! Moros (Moros_0474): I, too, increasingly have the desire to see that. MorosAboutPrometheus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3599): You must know the Titan Prometheus. I faced him on Olympus. Little wonder he now fights against the gods, having met his doom and lived... unlike the mortals he supposedly cares for so much. Moros (Moros_0337_B): Prometheus... I took no pleasure in his plight. The gods certainly know how to make an example of someone. Now he seeks vengeance? A favored pattern in the weavings of the Fates. Melinoe (Melinoe_3600): Now that you mention it, his knowledge of the future seems similar to that of your sisters. Do you suppose he's sided with Chronos because he knows Chronos will ultimately win? Moros (Moros_0338): I do not wish to speculate, Princess. All I know is the Titan of Foresight never was the violent sort. His experience in captivity... must have changed him. Melinoe (Melinoe_3601): I'll have to change him some more. MorosAboutPrometheus02 Moros (Moros_0339): In my weakest moments... I used to envy Prometheus, even knowing his plight. For he was loved by mortals, having given them the gift of fire from Olympus. {#Emph}I{#Prev}, on the other hand, was {#Emph}hated. {#Prev}It should not have mattered to me... but it did. Melinoe (Melinoe_3602): Come on, Lord Moros. What mortals think of us is of no consequence. Even if it were, better to be hated than a traitor. Prometheus thinks only of mortals and himself. I'm surprised Chronos would entrust anything to him. Moros (Moros_0340): Although I said I didn't wish to speculate, I... cannot shake the sense that Chronos values him {#Emph}because {#Prev}so many mortals do. The new Golden Age he seeks to bring about... an age for mortals, not for gods... Melinoe (Melinoe_3603): Doubtless all the mortals' problems would be solved... MorosAboutQuestLog01 Moros (Moros_0140): If I may, Princess? The Fated List of Minor Prophecies... have you been able to make use of it? Melinoe (Melinoe_1805): I have. Thank you for bringing it to me. So then, the Fates already know what's going to happen in all this? Everything I'm going to do? Moros (Moros_0039): Well, yes and no. The Fated List says as little of your future as necessary. I briefly was its host myself, and saw there but a single prophecy... that I would pass it on to you. Melinoe (Melinoe_0877): Then that's a prophecy fulfilled. MorosAboutQuestLog02 Moros (Moros_0141): The Fated List continues to unfold, so thank you. While the Fates often let events unfold naturally, at times they value an additional degree of certainty. And are willing to make it worthwhile. Melinoe (Melinoe_0878): I've seen a number of the listed prophecies already come to pass. Still others are foretold in their place. The magick in that scroll, it's beyond anything I've learned... Moros (Moros_0142): You must have your doubts; the Fates are rather famous for their sense of irony. But, no matter the outcome, I'm grateful for your willingness to discover their design. Our families are at stake. Melinoe (Melinoe_0879): Our families, and more... MorosAboutQuestLog03 Melinoe (Melinoe_2059): I confess I feel a bit self-conscious that the Fated List is there for you and all to see. Some of the matters it describes are rather personal. Moros (Moros_0147): If it's any comfort, the prophecies appear only to you. We see there only what's meant for us. Although, when you fulfill a prophecy... I can usually tell. It's like a sudden realization. Melinoe (Melinoe_2060): We know our paths are intertwined to an extent... well, may your sudden realizations connected to my actions not be {#Emph}too {#Prev}embarrassing. Moros (Moros_0148): I'm certain that they won't. MorosAboutQuestLog04 Melinoe (Melinoe_2061): You know, some of these Fated prophecies are rather substantial. I shudder to think what might be on a list of {#Emph}major {#Prev}prophecies... Moros (Moros_0149): I trust this doesn't make you feel as though your service hasn't been of value, because certainly it has. However, the prophecies listed there are indeed minor, in the grand scheme of things. Melinoe (Melinoe_2062): The grand scheme of things... as in all existence, the unfathomable past, unknowable future... that sort of grandeur, you mean? Moros (Moros_0150): Yes. The Fates preside over the smallest minutiae and the greatest of patterns. So don't take the idea of minor prophecies the wrong way. A small ripple can become a great wave. Melinoe (Melinoe_2063): Now you sound like Poseidon. MorosAboutQuestLog05 Moros (Moros_0154): Your father once was bearer of the Fated List, you know. A {#Emph}House-warming {#Prev}gift, my sisters said. But Hades put it away... until your brother unearthed it from the archives, and started using it himself. Melinoe (Melinoe_2067): I know Zagreus sought our mother... perhaps the Fated List helped him succeed. Come to think, I wouldn't have even been born if he hadn't. Wait... how did you end up with the List after that? Moros (Moros_0155): It wasn't until rather recently. The Fates sent me to retrieve the List from your father's House. Chronos would be absent, they said. And they were right; for when I returned, they were gone. Melinoe (Melinoe_2068): That's when he got them... Moros (Moros_0156): Yes. MorosAboutQuestLog06 Melinoe (Melinoe_4750): Some nights I'm on the surface, I remember I'm defying the will of the Fates simply by being there. Yet the Fated List has certain prophecies that cannot be fulfilled anywhere else. Your sisters, they... must have anticipated this. Moros (Moros_0436): It certainly is possible, even probable. Yet, historically, my sisters have had little patience for those who disregard their prophecies. Perhaps they're making an exception. Melinoe (Melinoe_4751): Or perhaps I'm inviting some terrible consequence. Although if Chronos didn't disobey their prophecies, I wouldn't have either. Moros (Moros_0437): In my experience it's best to avoid dwelling on such subject matter. Not even I can always see the pattern in my sisters' reasoning, and I think that's their preference. Melinoe (Melinoe_4752): To make our heads ache? Moros (Moros_0438): Quite likely, yes. MorosAboutQuestLog07 Moros (Moros_0439): You... haven't often looked upon the Fated List of late. For many nights, I would anticipate your safe return, then watch as you fulfilled one prophecy after another. Now you brush right by it to come speak with me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4760): Lord Moros, at the risk of profoundly disrespecting your sisters, I find you wholly more interesting than a bunch of minor prophecies. Well, most of them... I also don't have many left at the moment. Moros (Moros_0440): You have done very well. Or rather you have done what would inevitably come to pass... although I choose to think that this result required much intention on your part. Melinoe (Melinoe_4761): What happens if I have no further prophecies I can fulfill? Moros (Moros_0441): Perhaps then there shall be another prophecy for me... to pass the Fated List along to someone else. Melinoe (Melinoe_4762): You'd have to leave? Moros (Moros_0442): I do not know. MorosAboutQuestLog08 Melinoe (Melinoe_4783): No minor prophecies remain for me that have not come to pass. I've not seen new ones show up in a while, and... sounds like I shouldn't be expecting more anytime soon... Moros (Moros_0443): If that is true, then my own purpose for arriving at these Crossroads is achieved. But now I do not know how to proceed, with neither my sisters nor the List to direct me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4784): Your sisters did suggest you may have had another purpose here, beyond ensuring that the Fated List is safe and everything within it gets checked off. Moros (Moros_0444): And what might that have been, to violate their will repeatedly while growing close to you? My sisters like to scheme, but not to that extent. Melinoe (Melinoe_4785): You're not in any rush to leave, are you? Moros (Moros_0445): On the contrary, I would be with you here as long as I can. MorosAboutRelationship00 Moros (Moros_0417): Hello Princess, I, {#Emph}um. {#Prev}I trust that when we spoke quite recently that I did not make you, {#Emph}uh{#Prev}, well... Melinoe (Melinoe_4624): What is it, Lord Moros? I've enjoyed our conversations lately, so you needn't fear. I'd tell you if I thought something was wrong. I'd ask you do the same. Moros (Moros_0418): And I shall... except, in this case, I believe I misconstrued something... I thought {#Emph}you {#Prev}may have thought, because, admittedly I am a little new at all of this. Melinoe (Melinoe_4625): My own experience in such matters is significantly lacking, too. As long as we stumble together, I suppose. Moros (Moros_0419): I, too, suppose. {#Emph}Um{#Prev}, you be well tonight. Melinoe (Melinoe_4626): OK. MorosAboutRelationship01 Moros (Moros_0430): I have been thinking more about what you said at the taverna, Princess. About finding one's source of motivation, whether through encouraging results or through adversity. Or more Ambrosia. Melinoe (Melinoe_4634): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}I wasn't being serious about the Ambrosia part. It's just, I find it remarkable sometimes that adversity and negativity spur me more than expressions of faith and support. Moros (Moros_0431): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}As a force of adversity and negativity myself, I appreciate your open-mindedness. But I wanted to say that Ambrosia's quite a motivator, too. I trust we can share some again sometime. Melinoe (Melinoe_2073): For certain. MorosAboutRelationship02 Moros (Moros_0163): I have a bit of an awkward question, Princess... what is the custom here for making declarations of affection? I did try asking Dora first, but she didn't give me practical advice. Melinoe (Melinoe_2074): {#Emph}Erm... {#Prev}declarations of affection... I'm afraid I have bad news in that there is no custom for that here. You just choose the moment to express yourself, and hope your feelings are reciprocated. Moros (Moros_0164): I see. Well then, I'll have to choose a moment very carefully. I appreciate the information and your patience. Melinoe (Melinoe_2075): Oh. Anytime! MorosAboutRelationship03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4619): Lord Moros... {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, so how are you this eve? Moros (Moros_0413): Princess, I... was going to ask you the same. As for me, it's... well, it's as though I'm in a dream. The wonderful kind I've sometimes heard described. But, what of you...? Melinoe (Melinoe_4620): I'm very well, yes. My dreams... have often haunted me. Though I've experienced the good kind, too. And you're right, it's kind of like this... except the feeling never lasts. Moros (Moros_0414): Perhaps that shall be the difference in what we have; that it {#Emph}can {#Prev}last. If you would like, of course. Melinoe (Melinoe_4621): We'll just have to find out. MorosAboutRelationship03_B Melinoe (Melinoe_4619): Lord Moros... {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, so how are you this eve? Moros (Moros_0415): Princess! I... was going to ask you the same thing. As for me... I'm doing well, pending your response to the same question. In any case, I'm grateful that we had a chance to speak the way we did. Melinoe (Melinoe_4622): I'm grateful, too. So... we remain close acquaintances then, right? Moros (Moros_0416): Of course. Although, I haven't had a lot of close acquaintances given my work, so... forgive me if I stumble. Melinoe (Melinoe_4623): We'll do our best. MorosAboutRelationship04 Melinoe (Melinoe_4694): You said before your sister Clotho revealed to you that we would meet, though you already knew you were promised to another. I suppose I've complicated things for you... Moros (Moros_0426): And I am grateful that you did. I had no expectations for our meeting, but the truth is, I was drawn to you quite early on. Certainly in fewer than, say... five Nectar bottles. Melinoe (Melinoe_4695): Just because you're drawn to me, doesn't mean you won't also be drawn to Eos if and when you finally meet. From all I've heard, the break of Dawn is very beautiful. Moros (Moros_0427): Princess, let us never speak of Dawn again. Perhaps my sisters know what shall become of me, but I increasingly suspect that they do not. They certainly did not prepare me for {#Emph}your {#Prev}beauty, for one. Melinoe (Melinoe_4696): {#Emph}Hah{#Prev}, surprise! MorosAboutRelationships01 Moros (Moros_0428): Princess, I ought to mention, I know there are others whom you're close with, all of whom I think you've known longer than me. I, on the other hand, have no one else. Living with my sisters, I had little opportunity. Melinoe (Melinoe_4749): I can think of no other explanation. Many different goddesses or gods would surely be delighted if they had you in their lives, Moros. But if I'm to have you to myself for now, that's certainly all right. Moros (Moros_0429): I'm pleased you do not mind. MorosAboutRelatives01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4780): How many of your other siblings do you know? Besides the ones I've met. I've heard of so many others... Momus, the Keres, Oizys... she sounds like a lot. Moros (Moros_0701): I've met most of them, I think, at one time or another. We very seldomly have family get-togethers, something Mother Nyx decided to {#Emph}try {#Prev}after Olympus and your father tried to make a similar tradition out of it. But that did not go well. Melinoe (Melinoe_4781): How come? Wait, I know the answer to that. So, tell me this: Who was the worst behaved {#Emph}other {#Prev}than Strife? Moros (Moros_0702): Well... you named several top contenders already. Melinoe (Melinoe_4782): {#Emph}Ooh... MorosAboutReturning01 Moros (Moros_0145): Are you all right, Princess? I'm realizing that whenever you return, it's likely due to some unfortunate result. One I might have easily anticipated in the past, but not anymore... Melinoe (Melinoe_2057): I'm fine, Lord Moros, thank you for asking. I'm fairly accustomed to such outcomes at this point. It's interesting to know the Fates are not forcing it along... that it's all in my control. And all my fault. Moros (Moros_0146): Well... now that you mention it, I can't entirely be sure the Fates have no more influence at all. How frustrating, not knowing whether our actions have been preordained or not... Melinoe (Melinoe_2058): I try not to think on it too much. MorosAboutSearch01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1803): You must know what I'm about to ask, Lord Moros... especially since I promised many questions. You mentioned you were on a fruitless search. What was it that you sought? Moros (Moros_0138): Oh! Well, the Fates do like to send me off to fetch them this or that, now and again. My search in some respects was similar. Though, I'm beginning to think they tricked me... Melinoe (Melinoe_1804): They sent you to find something that couldn't be found... and you can't just tell me what it is, can you. Moros (Moros_0139): I think they simply wanted me out of the way. Although, I shouldn't speculate, or further speak of this at all... apologies. Melinoe (Melinoe_1959): I understand... MorosAboutSearch02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2055): When you and I first met, you were searching for the Fates. But you discovered {#Emph}me {#Prev}among the shadows. I can navigate back to the Crossroads that way... but you can go farther? Moros (Moros_0143): I can, yes. I'm from the deepest reaches of the Underworld, where there exists no light at all. The chasm from which all creation sprang a while back. Melinoe (Melinoe_2056): I suppose even if one knew the Fates resided in such a place, they might still prove difficult to find... Moros (Moros_0144): Difficult, though not impossible, as we now know... MorosAboutShrine01 Moros (Moros_0313): The Oath of the Unseen is somewhere here, isn't that so, Princess...? The aura that it emanates... I haven't felt it since before all this. I thought the Oath was lost with Mother Nyx, but it was in the care of Lady Hecate. Melinoe (Melinoe_3121): It's in my own care now. The will of Night shall be done no matter what, isn't that so? You're here among the Unseen; you know our charge. Moros (Moros_0314): The Oath is clearly in good hands. MorosAboutSkelly01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2085): Considering how well you seem to know Odysseus, surely you know brave Commander Schelemeus, do you not? Brave and humble, for I scarce know anything about his past. Moros (Moros_0175): {#Emph}Schelemeus{#Prev}, you say...? I know of no one by that name. And my recollection is infallible. Perhaps he hails from a distant land, presided over by its own strange gods... Melinoe (Melinoe_2086): No, that can't be... MorosAboutSurfacePenaltyCure01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3146): Thank you for visiting me last night, Lord Moros. So, hypothetically, if I were to complete a certain incantation that somehow loosened the grip the Three Fates have on my birthright... how angry would they be? Moros (Moros_0299): Please understand, Princess, that I am not at liberty to give advice on matters such as that, not even hypothetically. I trust I've been sufficiently direct in putting it this way? Melinoe (Melinoe_3147): In other words, we shouldn't be talking about this at all, and I assume all risk for my actions related to any potentially forbidden incantations that I've learned. Moros (Moros_0300): Yes, that covers it. MorosAboutSurfacePenaltyCure02 Moros (Moros_0301): Princess, officially I cannot condone your actions. Your visits to the surface violate the terms the Fates set for your father's lineage, and you invite whichever consequences they see fit. Melinoe (Melinoe_3148): Yes, but {#Emph}un{#Prev}officially, Lord Moros? If you'll permit yourself to speak of it this once. Or are we limited to candid conversations only when I'm on the verge of death? Moros (Moros_0302): Our conversations are most definitely more secure that way, but {#Emph}un{#Prev}officially... I am amazed by your accomplishment. Perhaps living so close to the surface predisposed you, but still... I was uncertain it was possible. Melinoe (Melinoe_3149): May the Fates forgive my transgressions. Moros (Moros_0303): Likewise... MorosAboutTask01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0873): I have to ask you something, Lord Moros, though I think I may already have the answer. Has the war with Chronos and Olympus taken some new turn? Moros (Moros_0034): I'm sorry I can't answer you, Princess. I'm bound never to speak of matters in connection to the weavings of the Fates. If you knew more right now, it could unduly influence your path. Melinoe (Melinoe_0874): And...? Knowledge is preparation. It seems strictly to our benefit for me to know as much as possible about what I'm getting myself into. Moros (Moros_0035): Perhaps. Nevertheless, I cannot break my oath. I trust, though, that you'll learn the truth of it when the time is right. Melinoe (Melinoe_0875): I'll be waiting. MorosAboutTyphon01 Moros (Moros_0341): My sisters told me of a certain prophecy even I thought would never come to pass... that Olympus would once again face the fury of the Father of All Monsters, and their conflict would shake the world to its core. And now it's happening... Melinoe (Melinoe_3924): You mean you {#Emph}knew {#Prev}Typhon's attack was a real possibility? Why didn't you warn us? We could have prepared! Moros (Moros_0342): I... was not permitted to warn you. Had I done so, it merely would have expedited an outcome I now realize was bound to happen anyway. Though perhaps your implication is correct, and this {#Emph}is {#Prev}all my fault... Melinoe (Melinoe_3925): What? How is this all your fault? Unless you aided Chronos in awakening the most notorious fiend the gods ever faced, I don't see how {#Emph}you {#Prev}had anything to do with this. Moros (Moros_0343): {#Emph}Unraveling a Fateful Bond. {#Prev}I abetted your plans to gain the surface. The awakening of Typhon... perhaps it's a punishment... and a reminder never to defy the Fates. Princess, please forgive me. Melinoe (Melinoe_3926): Nonsense. {#Emph}Chronos {#Prev}did this, not you. MorosAboutTyphon02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4589): The prophecy concerning Typhon's reawakening... what made you think it would never come to pass? I thought the weavings of your sisters were always certain to come true. Moros (Moros_0375): The Fates are not always straightforward. Their prophecies are represented visually, not written in detail... at least the major ones. I thought my interpretation of Typhon's return was likely misguided. Melinoe (Melinoe_4590): So the Fates wove the image of some terrible monstrosity climbing Olympus and the gods all desperately trying to fight back, and you thought it meant what? Moros (Moros_0376): Well it wasn't that, exactly, though I didn't take it quite as literally as I should have in hindsight. I thought it prophesized that the Olympians would have to stand against some sort of existential threat... Melinoe (Melinoe_4591): Well you weren't wrong! MorosAboutTyphon03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4594): The prophecy of Typhon's return... was your interpretation that the gods were going to prevail or not? Or was there any detail you recall that we might use to our advantage? Moros (Moros_0379): Well there was lightning, which I took to represent Zeus; the earth seemed to shake, recalling Poseidon; and a red spear reminiscent of your father's, piercing the storm. But even these specifics don't seem to pertain to the matter at hand. Melinoe (Melinoe_4595): No, I suppose not... Melinoe (Melinoe_4596): A red spear, huh...? MorosAboutTyphonDeath01 Moros (Moros_0446): It's true, isn't it? You scoured Typhon from this world. The prophecy I saw must have... not merely been about his reawakening, but his {#Emph}eradication. {#Prev}How did you manage this, if I may ask? Melinoe (Melinoe_4786): A complicated incantation from Headmistress, alongside the essence of Gigaros, my father's spear he took up after Chronos first was overthrown. It all worked out. Moros (Moros_0447): Your father's spear... in what I saw, a spear could be seen piercing through the storm. Then that must have been {#Emph}you. {#Prev}And so, the Fates truly {#Emph}did {#Prev}anticipate that you'd prevail. Melinoe (Melinoe_4787): Do they anticipate I shall slay Chronos next? Moros (Moros_0448): If I but knew... MorosAboutTyphonW01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4592): I wonder, did the weavings of the Fates foretell that I would knock the Father of All Monsters down the mountain last night? He didn't see it coming at least. Moros (Moros_0377): No, not as such. The weavings of the Fates tend not to be precise in their detail, which I know can make them a bit confounding. But I salute your victory, Princess! I'd like to think that I foretold it, even if the Fates did not. Melinoe (Melinoe_4593): You knew I'd vanquish Typhon? Moros (Moros_0378): I had a feeling. MorosAboutWeapons01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2087): Lord Moros, you must know something of the Nocturnal Arms. So, your mother and sisters collaborated on these weapons to be used only in dire need? And entrusted them to Headmistress? Moros (Moros_0176): Mother Nyx knew the fickle nature of the Olympians and the Fate-forged weapons that they used to seal away the Titans. She desired a set of counterparts that would awaken only if the realm itself was in upheaval. Melinoe (Melinoe_2088): I suppose there ought to be another set of weapons forged to keep these in check. And another for {#Emph}those{#Prev}, and so on. Moros (Moros_0177): Now you are being humorous, Princess. Melinoe (Melinoe_2089): I wasn't. MorosAboutWeaving01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4820): Always wanted to ask this about the Fates, Lord Moros... why the {#Emph}weaving? {#Prev}Of all the ways one could foretell what's to come... I mean why not compose ballads, paint vases? Moros (Moros_0693): You'd think I'd know the answer, Princess, but it pains me to admit... I never once stopped to consider that. Weaving is just what they did. There aren't too many activities fit for exactly three. Perhaps {#Emph}that's {#Prev}it. Melinoe (Melinoe_4821): It just seems like they could make their prophecies much faster if they chose a simpler craft. Moros (Moros_0694): Best not to give them any ideas. MorosAboutWitchcraft01 Moros (Moros_0063): There's so much here for me to learn! Lady Hecate has been generous enough to teach me something of the herbal ways and of your craft. An everlasting pursuit! I'm getting a late start. Melinoe (Melinoe_0905): You wish to become a witch, Lord Moros? Maybe I can give you some pointers sometime. Moros (Moros_0064): Oh I would welcome that. MorosBathHouse01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0921): Have you experienced our hot springs yet, Lord Moros? The waters cleanse the body and the mind. I'm headed over if you'd care to join me? Moros (Moros_0101): Why, I... I don't see why not! I've seen and heard about such springs as these, though never been. Moros (Moros_0105): ...To think that such a place is hidden here... Melinoe (Melinoe_0923): So, what did you and the Fates do for recreation where you're from, anyhow? Moros (Moros_0111): Have I mentioned that they liked to weave? Their weaving was their occupation and their {#Emph}passion. {#Prev}I never got too good at it myself, and all they needed was the three of them, so... Melinoe (Melinoe_0924): I know an excellent spinstress who could maybe help with your technique. What did you do while they were busy spinning away? Moros (Moros_0112): Well, I would travel the world! To witness mortals in their final moments. Look them square in the face as they perished... often in horror... Melinoe (Melinoe_0925): ...You do this for recreation's sake? Moros (Moros_0113): The nature of the role leaves little time for recreation. And it's all I could do to make those final moments dignified... though I don't think the gesture always comes across. Moros (Moros_0117): I've not felt so refreshed in... well, it's been a while now. Thank you again. MorosBathHouse02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0922): Lord Moros, would you accompany me to the springs again sometime? And by sometime I mean... are you busy now? Moros (Moros_0102): I feared you'd never ask again, Princess! I've longed for the warmth of the springs since last we visited. Moros (Moros_0104): ...I surely can get used to this... Melinoe (Melinoe_0927): Your relationship with the Fates sounds like it must have been a complicated one. You've never been on your own, have you? Moros (Moros_0114): I haven't. They're my sisters, and my elders. I grew up under their watchful eye, and I'm more than their brother; I was their guardian. But I couldn't protect them, in the end. Perhaps they always knew I'd fail them, and loved me anyway. Melinoe (Melinoe_0928): You can't go thinking like that. You had one of the most important responsibilities in the world. The Fates are as all-knowing as they come, aren't they? Then it stands to reason there wasn't anybody better suited for the task than you. Moros (Moros_0115): ...Princess? Would you just let me wallow in my misery a bit? {#Emph}Ah... {#Prev}no, wait. Forget it. It's gone. A mighty incantation on your part just now. Melinoe (Melinoe_0929): {#Emph}Heh{#Prev}, anyway. I know you love your sisters, but... the circumstances being what they are, perhaps some distance will be good for you. Moros (Moros_0116): Perhaps.... These springs are good for me, of that I have no doubt. Moros (Moros_0118): I think I really needed that. And always wonderful to have your company. MorosBathHouse03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4814): How about a visit to the springs again, Moros? I'm not in any hurry at the moment if you're not either. Moros (Moros_0682): I'd like that very much. It's very peaceful there... almost like when we meet during the moment you return. Melinoe (Melinoe_4815): ...I think it's possible the Fates arranged all this. Between the two of us. And I mean {#Emph}all {#Prev}of it. Has that occurred to you? Moros (Moros_0684): Perhaps a little, but it's something I refuse to believe. Why would the Fates have promised me to another if they wanted me to be with you? That makes very little sense. Melinoe (Melinoe_4816): I know, it's just... sometimes to get someone to do something, it's best to compel them to do some opposite thing they {#Emph}don't {#Prev}want to do. They'll do what you truly want in defiance. A simple bit of psychic manipulation. Moros (Moros_0685): But I always was obedient. They had no reason to think I'd defy them... no, I just can't accept we were tricked into this somehow. We may not have met by chance, but still. My sisters had more important things to do. Melinoe (Melinoe_4817): I suppose it doesn't really matter. But if they did determine you and I should meet, I'm grateful. They could have chosen someone far less suitable. Moros (Moros_0686): They certainly have their way. And I have never felt more grateful to them, or to you. Moros (Moros_0687): ...{#Emph}Whew! {#Prev}I think I'm ready for whatever else the Fates may have in store. See you, Melinoë. Melinoe (Melinoe_4819): See you, Moros. MorosBathHouseDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3555): I was thinking about a visit to the hot springs and thought you might be interested, my lord. Moros (Moros_0344): Respectfully, Princess, I've past events to document so I had better not. Some other time, perhaps? MorosBecomingCloser01 Moros (Moros_0405): I apologize for the abruptness of my approach. My mind... told me not to appear before you without good cause, but my heart demanded otherwise. Is this... not a good time? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3730_B): Oh, you know, Lord Moros, I... was just in the middle of evading my latest brush with death. Why are you here? {#Emph} {#Prev}I must look like hell... Moros (Moros_0406): No, you look... well, I am truly at a loss for words... I should have rehearsed what I sought to say more thoroughly. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3731): You don't need to be so nervous around me, or so formal for that matter. And it's nice to see you here as well, in one of my many moments of wretched failure. How long can we stay here, anyway? It's so peaceful... Moros (Moros_0407): We can stay for... I don't exactly know. A while, that to others shall seem merely an instant, so... I sought to see you here again, in the off chance... you sought to see me...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3732): It is the height of flattery that you would feel this way, Lord Moros. But... in listening to my own heart once again... it's not my wish to risk or change what we already have. I know you must be disappointed, but I hope you understand. Moros (Moros_0408): No, not disappointed in the least, Princess. And I do understand. Forgive me, once again, this outburst of feeling... I don't wish to pretend I never asked, but... may we perhaps still carry on as close acquaintances? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3733): If it were any other way, I'd never forgive myself, nor you. Moros (Moros_0409): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}Well then, may you recover as swiftly as ever, and I shall see you shortly on the other side. Farewell for now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3735): ...Chance has nothing to do with it, Lord Moros. Most nights I have a brush with death, but not with you. I {#Emph}have {#Prev}wanted this, yes. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3736): ...Lord Moros, are... are you certain this shall only seem an instant by the time we return? Because... Moros (Moros_0411): You have my word. As for your own sense of time, {#Emph}that {#Prev}I cannot change. So, as much as I would like remaining here with you eternally... we should probably be getting back. Melinoe (Melinoe_4158): You're probably right. Moros (Moros_0412): On that you'll hear no arguments from me either. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3734): Farewell... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3738): {#Emph} {#Prev}Return to shadow, now... MorosChat01 Moros (Moros_0004): I thank the Fates you're safe with us, Princess. MorosChat02 Moros (Moros_0005): You'll be pleased to know I've no additional bad news to share, for now. MorosChat03 Moros (Moros_0006): May the Fates be favorable on your next attempt. MorosChat04 Moros (Moros_0007): I'm beginning to acclimate to these Crossroads, I think! MorosChat05 Moros (Moros_0008): I'm managing, Princess, though this is very strange for me. MorosChat06 Moros (Moros_0009): Who can say what the Fates have in store for any of us now... MorosChat07 Moros (Moros_0010): The Fates entrusted you with so much, Princess... MorosChat08 Moros (Moros_0011): I'll do my best to make myself useful around here. MorosChat09 Moros (Moros_0012): It's a pleasure to see you again, as always, Princess. MorosChat10 Moros (Moros_0013): I regret the setbacks you've encountered, though at least you're here. MorosChat11 Moros (Moros_0014): Please don't hesitate to let me know if I can be of service in some way. MorosChat12 Moros (Moros_0015): May you be well-prepared for whatever is to come. MorosChat13 Moros (Moros_0016): Remember that the future is yet to be woven, Princess. MorosChat14 Moros (Moros_0017): I've so much left to learn about this way of life... MorosChat15 Moros (Moros_0018): Do let me know if there's something I could do to ease your burden even for a bit. MorosChat16 Moros (Moros_0019): I trust your task is growing ever closer to completion, Princess. MorosChat17 Moros (Moros_0020): Some of the Shades here still don't seem particularly fond of me, I'm afraid... MorosChat18 Moros (Moros_0021): What would the Fates have me do next, I wonder... MorosChat19 Moros (Moros_0022): Thank you for making me feel welcome here, Princess. MorosChat20 Moros (Moros_0023): If the Fates have taught me anything, it's that our lives can take the strangest turns... MorosChat21 Moros (Moros_0024): Be well, Princess Melinoë, and may my sisters always favor you. MorosChat22 Moros (Moros_0025): Always a pleasure, Princess. Though, please... don't let me keep you. MorosChat23 Moros (Moros_0026): Take heart knowing the Fates themselves believe that you'll succeed. MorosChat24 Moros (Moros_0027): Go bring those foes of ours some more bad news for me. MorosChat25 Moros (Moros_0028): Princess Melinoë. May doom befall your foes. MorosChat26 Moros (Moros_0029): I seldom get to say {#Emph}we meet again{#Prev}, yet here we are, Princess. MorosChat27 Moros (Moros_0030): To think that we were fated to meet under such circumstances... MorosChat28 Moros (Moros_0031): I'm certain you've more urgent matters to attend to than keeping company with me. MorosChat29 Moros (Moros_0032): ...Forgive me, Princess. I... I need some time to think. MorosChat30 Moros (Moros_0033): I've no additional bad news for now, I'm pleased to say, Princess. MorosFirstMeeting Moros (Moros_0135): Princess! We've not met formally. I'm the Official Bearer of Bad News. The Witch of the Crossroads apprised me of the situation here, and... was gracious to invite me to stay for now. Moros (Moros_0703): Princess, we've not met formally. I'm called Moros, Doom, or the official Bearer of Bad News. The Witch of the Crossroads apprised me of the situation here, and was gracious to invite me to stay for now. Melinoe (Melinoe_1589): You're welcome here and safe, Lord Moros. So then, you know of my task. Moros (Moros_0136): To vanquish the usurper of the House of Hades seems more than a task. I regret this burden is yours to bear, and much sooner than expected. Melinoe (Melinoe_0872): It's all right. I was born for this. MorosFishing01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0937): Say, Lord Moros, would you accompany me to the riverside? I've a feeling your mere presence may help with the evening's catch. Moros (Moros_0123): I have a way with mortal creatures of all sorts, so I'll accompany you, yes. Moros (Moros_0321): Forgive me, though I never have quite understood the compulsion to extract water-creatures from their natural environs. I know for mortals it is sometimes necessary sustenance, though others do it for the sake of sport. Why? Melinoe (Melinoe_3239): For mortals, it seems to be an opportunity to assert themselves over the natural world. Though I would take no pride in outsmarting such creatures if I were them. In our case... we safeguard habitats for all the species that we find. Moros (Moros_0322): That seems like a burdensome responsibility for creatures that ought to take better care of themselves. Melinoe (Melinoe_3240): Well, there's more to it, I suppose. For one thing it sets a contemplative mood, right? Means we can talk a little about matters unrelated to our {#Emph}own {#Prev}burdensome responsibilities. Moros (Moros_0323): I can certainly appreciate that part. And now we wait... Moros (Moros_0361): Perhaps it's good to let the mind wander a bit to such pursuits, every once in a while. MorosFishingDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3501): I don't suppose you'd join me for a little while at the fishing pier, Lord Moros? Thought we could use these Twin Lures. Moros (Moros_0119): {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}I fear the river denizens will not approach this evening if I'm there, for they can sense me every now and then. Apologies. MorosGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0909): Lord Moros, as our honored guest, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, we wanted you to have this. To make your stay a bit more comfortable. Moros (Moros_0069): The Nectar of the gods! Thank you, Princess. I've... not received an offering before. Though I do like to come prepared. So here! From me to you. MorosGift02 Moros (Moros_0070): {#Emph}Huh! {#Prev}I must admit I'm unaccustomed to displays of flattery. Forgive me, I don't quite know what to say, except... thank you. Melinoe (Melinoe_0910): You're very welcome! Though, I'd not intended it as {#Emph}flattery{#Prev}, it's just.... Don't even mention it, all right? MorosGift03 Moros (Moros_0071): You're very kind to me, Princess. I arrived at these Crossroads in a desperate state. I didn't expect to be made welcome here. Melinoe (Melinoe_0911): And I didn't expect to meet Doom face-to-face, much less for him to be rather agreeable. Yet here we are! MorosGift04 Moros (Moros_0072): Why, thank you for this, truly, though you needn't go out of your way for me. You've been so generous. Forgive my asking, but... this isn't due to some sort of prophecy in the Fated List, is it? Melinoe (Melinoe_0912): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}No, of course not, Lord Moros! Although, even if it was, I would be duty-bound not to inform you, wouldn't I? Moros (Moros_0073): {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}That's true. MorosGift05 Moros (Moros_0074): I'm honored to accept this, Princess Melinoë. When the Fates first indicated that we'd meet, I asked them what I should expect; what you were like. Clotho smiled and simply said, {#Emph}you'll see. {#Prev}I felt certain they were playing a prank! Melinoe (Melinoe_0913): You make me glad I don't have any sisters, Lord Moros. So what would you have said in Clotho's place? Moros (Moros_0075): Oh! Perhaps I would have said... she's a great witch and enchantress. The Princess of the Underworld, daughter to the goddess of spring and the lord of the dead. Though whatever you imagine her to be... she's more. Melinoe (Melinoe_0914): ...That's not bad. MorosGift06 Moros (Moros_0387): This Nectar of the gods, it's... such a luxury. With my sisters, I led a relatively simple life. Now to find myself in such a place, much less with you... no prophecy could have prepared me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4601): You seem to truly like it here. I think we have our needs fulfilled, though I've not often heard anything in the Crossroads described as luxurious. Are things so different where you're from? Moros (Moros_0388): Well, it was an excellent place to be a weaver. But there was not a lot of other recreational activity, or other company. I fear I may become quite self-indulgent with all this... Melinoe (Melinoe_4602): I don't think you're at any risk of that just yet. MorosGift07 Melinoe (Melinoe_4603): I wanted you to have this, Lord Moros, since you seemed to enjoy it last time. Ambrosia may flow freely on Olympus, but we chthonic gods should get our share as well, wouldn't you say? Moros (Moros_0389): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}I think that's a better question for Nemesis. It's not for me to say whether we {#Emph}deserve {#Prev}such things. And the Fates did not advise me as to whether I should accept such gifts. Nor did I ever think to ask... Melinoe (Melinoe_4604): I can't believe I'm saying this, though there's no need to overthink it so much. Since the Fates aren't here to tell you, you could always listen to your heart in such a situation...? Moros (Moros_0390): My heart... it isn't saying anything, Princess. But it is... beating faster than I'm accustomed, even though I'm at rest, and comfortable, mostly. {#Emph}Very {#Prev}comfortable! {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, I don't wish to be so rude, so thank you very much. Melinoe (Melinoe_4605): You're very welcome. MorosGift08 Melinoe (Melinoe_4606): If I've learned anything it's that with practice comes perfection, or as close as we can ever get. So, what do you say we practice listening to our hearts a little more? Here, this is for you. Moros (Moros_0391): I'm... I'm attempting to listen to my heart right now, Princess. But if truly it can speak, I'm afraid it's speaking a bit rapidly, such that I can't entirely understand or know what to do... as though I'm in one of your binding spells. Melinoe (Melinoe_4607): How about I go first, and next I offer you Ambrosia, you can be prepared. For now, my heart says... I feel comfortable around you. Even though you make me feel like royalty, which come to think of it, I do not mind at all. Moros (Moros_0392): I... thank you very much for that, Princess. I'm pleased that you approve of me this way. And, next time, as you say, I'll... be better prepared to express my sentiment, in turn. Melinoe (Melinoe_4759): Looking forward to it. MorosGift09 Melinoe (Melinoe_4608): Well, Lord Moros, ready to let your heart do the talking this time? Because here's something that I wanted you to have. Your calm and considerate presence in these Crossroads has meant a lot to me, so thank you. Moros (Moros_0393): I should be thanking you instead, Princess. Not merely for this gift, which is beautiful... but also because you've given me something else to strive for, besides the Fate-appointed calling that I've known. Melinoe (Melinoe_4609): Something to strive for? You mean the Nectar and Ambrosia? Good, isn't it? I should be able to get more! Moros (Moros_0394): I'd welcome that, although it isn't what I meant, which is... knowing you could spend your time with anyone, I'll strive to make the time you spend with me worthwhile. As fulfilling for you as it is for me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4610): But I already find the time we share fulfilling. I wouldn't want you thinking otherwise, or changing how you are with me. I like the way I feel when I'm with you. Moros (Moros_0395): And you don't know how glad I am to hear it. Well, I've relayed what I believe my heart has said, after a closer listening. Perhaps I ought have kept its message to myself... Melinoe (Melinoe_4611): No, of course not. I'm glad. MorosGrantsHiddenAspect01 Moros (Moros_0369): Something unusual occurred, Princess. The Fated List scrolled to a point that caught my eye. What it said made little sense to me though I'm implored to tell you: {#Emph}I see your spirits glimmer as the metals underneath the Earth. Melinoe (Melinoe_4370): {#Emph}I see your spirits glimmer as the metals underneath the Earth. {#Prev}That sounds much like a waking-phrase! Headmistress told me of them when she lent me the Nocturnal Arms. When you think on it, what do you see...? Moros (Moros_0370): A daemon of some sort. A mask-like face, in shadow, some nocturnal realm, not necessarily our own. Who is this? Melinoe (Melinoe_4371): We'll soon find out I think. Likely a bearer of the Arms of Night, but whether past or future, I can't say. Moros (Moros_0371): I may have just fulfilled part of a prophecy in relaying those words. I trust they'll be of benefit, not harm? Melinoe (Melinoe_4372): I think so. {#Emph}I see your spirits glimmer as the metals underneath the Earth... MorosGrantsMixer6Common Moros (Moros_0503): I have something for you, Princess. Where I reside, such Darkness was quite commonplace, but perhaps not anymore. Here, in case you need it. Melinoe (Melinoe_4635): Oh, thank you, Lord Moros! Here in the Crossroads we get {#Emph}just {#Prev}enough moonlight that Darkness such as this is almost never seen. {#Emph}Wait... {#Prev}did you fulfill a prophecy just now? Moros (Moros_0504): I would have given it to you even if not. MorosGrantsQuestLog Moros (Moros_0128): Princess of the Underworld: I regret having to contact you at such a time. It's not my custom to intervene during moments of Doom, only to observe. Melinoe (Melinoe_1582): {#Emph}Moments of Doom.... {#Prev}You're Lord Moros, emissary of the Three Fates! So your sisters heard me after all! Moros (Moros_0129): They expected me to find you, for there's something they intend for you to have. Wherever you're going, look for it when you arrive. I'm uncertain if we'll meet again; farewell. Moros (Moros_0130): It's been an honor... Melinoe (Melinoe_1583): Wait...! MorosGrantsSurfacePenaltyCure01 Moros (Moros_0297): ...You traveled to the surface. Knowing full well the Fates decided long ago that those of your line could not survive there, and would always be forced back to the Underworld. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0812): Their curse was... palpable. I never intended to stay for long. Just long enough to lend my relatives support. But it seems your sisters insist that I do no such thing. Moros (Moros_0298): Well... I don't see them around right now, do you? Incidentally, there was once an incantation that I happened upon, which was not intended for my eyes. But I now choose to think that it was intended for yours. Moros (Moros_0185): Farewell! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0813): {#Emph}Unraveling a Fateful Bond... MorosGreeting.VoiceLines Moros (Moros_0450): What an accomplishment... Moros (Moros_0580): Wait, Princess... Moros (Moros_0459): You found them...! Moros (Moros_0363): A brief word? Moros (Moros_0576): {#Emph}Whew... Moros (Moros_0093): Princess? Moros (Moros_0583): If I may... Moros (Moros_0095): Do you have a moment? Moros (Moros_0577): Princess...? Moros (Moros_0577): Princess...? Moros (Moros_0094): If I may? Moros (Moros_0559): The Fates were generous! Moros (Moros_0560): Thank the Fates... Moros (Moros_0561): As Fate would have it... Moros (Moros_0564): You did it... Moros (Moros_0565): A step toward your goal. Moros (Moros_0090_B): To your success. Moros (Moros_0091_B): To victory. Moros (Moros_0213): It's an auspicious night! Moros (Moros_0214): It's an auspicious night. Moros (Moros_0558): You prevailed...! Moros (Moros_0562): Once again...! Moros (Moros_0092): Heard the good news. Moros (Moros_0450): What an accomplishment... Moros (Moros_0563): Welcome back. Moros (Moros_0567): Heading out? Moros (Moros_0083): Princess. Moros (Moros_0084): Princess...! Moros (Moros_0085): Hm. Moros (Moros_0086): Mm. Moros (Moros_0087): Fates protect you. Moros (Moros_0088): My greetings. Moros (Moros_0089): You're back... Moros (Moros_0082): Good evening. Moros (Moros_0208): Greetings. Moros (Moros_0210): Hello. Moros (Moros_0212): Ready for more? Moros (Moros_0566): You look well. MorosPostEpilogue01 Moros (Moros_0460): My sisters... they're all right! I was about to say {#Emph}thank the Fates{#Prev}, but in this case, Princess? I can only say {#Emph}thank you. {#Prev}While you'd best not tell me how you did it, please do tell how it was to meet them finally... Melinoe (Melinoe_4798): It was an interesting conversation! And they seem to be doing well, that much I can say. And you're probably aware of the new major prophecy that they foretold. Moros (Moros_0461): The advent of another age! They notified me, yes. Perhaps it's their way of preventing any further attempts to circumvent their will. Assuming this age {#Emph}does {#Prev}arrive. Melinoe (Melinoe_4799): What does this mean for you, though, Moros? I got the sense your sisters have no immediate plans to resume their customary weavings. Moros (Moros_0462): I think it means that mortals shall be having a reprieve from me, potentially for quite some time. And that I'll have to find something to do... Melinoe (Melinoe_4800): You could remain here with us. Help tend the Crossroads. Learn our craft. Moros (Moros_0463): ...I'd like that very much. Melinoe (Melinoe_4801): Same. MorosPostEpilogue02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4802): This advent of another age your sisters have described... do you think it's possible Prometheus anticipated it? When I think back on things he said... Moros (Moros_0464): You're asking if the Titan of Foresight knew the Fates would eventually make this choice, before even {#Emph}they {#Prev}knew it. {#Emph}Hm. {#Prev}Perhaps the lot of them conspired to achieve a shared goal... Melinoe (Melinoe_4803): {#Emph}Lord Moros! {#Prev}I'm surprised you would even suggest such things! To have conspired against the gods, {#Emph}and {#Prev}Chronos for that matter! Moros (Moros_0465): I merely seek alternatives to the suggestion that my sisters may not be the first to know. So then Prometheus prevailed on behalf of mortals after all. Or shall, when comes this age. Melinoe (Melinoe_4804): To think that far ahead... MorosPostEpilogue03 Moros (Moros_0466): Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself anymore, Princess. I thought if you succeeded in your task that I'd return to my responsibilities. But now it seems I won't. Melinoe (Melinoe_4805): I'm familiar with that feeling. I've been so fixated on my goal that I hadn't really thought about what's next... but here we are still, right? The task wasn't the end. Moros (Moros_0467): So what {#Emph}are {#Prev}we supposed to do? I'm Doom Incarnate; I'll never be known for my fishing, for instance. I fear... perhaps my best work is behind me. Melinoe (Melinoe_4806): I fear that too, though it's nonsense. We have the rest of our existence ahead of us. Mortals have but the blink of an eye. Moros (Moros_0468): We have it easier than mortals, certainly. Melinoe (Melinoe_4807): Poor things. MorosPostTrueEnding01 Moros (Moros_0451): Your task is finally complete...! Perhaps the Fates knew you'd succeed, but I couldn't always be certain. Although I held to what could be considered hope. Melinoe (Melinoe_4789): And your support made it possible, Lord Moros. For one thing, if you hadn't intervened when I was trying to reach the surface, Typhon might have reduced Olympus to ruin. Moros (Moros_0452): Doom averted...! We children of Nyx have already heard that Mother is no longer bound in Tartarus; you have our deepest gratitude, certainly mine. Well then... what happens now? Melinoe (Melinoe_4790): ...I suppose I ought to go make certain everything's in order. My father started renovations to the Underworld, and I've volunteered to help clean up. The surface needs it too. Moros (Moros_0453): Then it sounds like I may see you again soon? Melinoe (Melinoe_4791): Absolutely. MorosPostTrueEnding02 Moros (Moros_0454): How fares your effort to cleanse all of the disorder Chronos wrought? I trust this new task doesn't fall solely to you. Melinoe (Melinoe_4792): Oh, everybody's pitching in, even Chronos... my grandfather. You heard what happened to him, right? His new self seems more tolerable than before. Moros (Moros_0455): {#Emph}Death to Chronos... {#Prev}to his old self. I don't know how you managed it, Princess. Perhaps not even my sisters could know such a thing, wherever they may be. Melinoe (Melinoe_4793): We ought to find where they've been exiled, and I don't think Chronos can simply tell us. What about you, perhaps enough has changed that you can locate them somehow? Moros (Moros_0456): I often search the void where you and I first met, since the Fates would sometimes go there, too. But it's a vast place... Melinoe (Melinoe_4794): We'll keep searching. MorosSecondAppearance Moros (Moros_0132): Again our journeys intertwine. Why did you call upon me, Princess? Did you not receive the artifact I brought you from the Fates? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1694): Lord Moros...! I did receive the Fated List, and summoned you once more as it ordained. All children of Nyx are welcome where I reside. Might we speak further there...? I've many questions. Moros (Moros_0133): I don't know whether I can answer them, as my own search for truth has not been going well of late. But I'll not decline your cordial invitation. Please lead the way. Melinoe (Melinoe_1588): Then follow me. Moros (Moros_0134): I shall. MorosTaverna01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0915): Lord Moros? I wanted you to have this either way, though if you're not too busy at the moment, would you care to share it with me at the taverna? I know this is sudden, it's just... I'm past due for a little break... Moros (Moros_0076): Princess Melinoë, it would be my pleasure. Would you please lead the way? Melinoe (Melinoe_0916): ...So, it {#Emph}can {#Prev}be a lot, of course. I don't know what's the better source of motivation, those completely certain I'll succeed in everything, or those completely certain that I'll fail. Moros (Moros_0077): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}I have the same thought pattern frequently. The Fates, they could anticipate the outcomes of my efforts and would chastise me sometimes for small mistakes I'd yet to make. It wasn't always as encouraging as intended. Melinoe (Melinoe_0917): Then, where did you find the strength? Your responsibilities sound like they must have been a lot. Moros (Moros_0078): It all simply became a force of habit at some point. You practice a skill to a level of proficiency, then fear letting it go... fear you'll never be as capable at other things... Melinoe (Melinoe_0918): I wouldn't have expected Doom himself to harbor such misgivings. Moros (Moros_0079): Well! Perhaps I should have been born as {#Emph}Fear! {#Prev}So then where do {#Emph}you {#Prev}think it comes from? Your source of motivation for your task. Melinoe (Melinoe_3353): I've decided it comes from the thought of finding more of this Ambrosia out there; this is {#Emph}good! Moros (Moros_0081): I very much enjoyed your company, Princess, and thank you for the drink. I trust we'll have more opportunities like this? Melinoe (Melinoe_0920): I trust so too. MorosTaverna02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4612): Forgive me for presuming, though you seem a little tense of late, Lord Moros. What would you say if we shared one of these bottles together at the taverna? It's been a while. Moros (Moros_0396): Nothing would please me more, Princess... except, it's not my wish to burden you, and I regret that I've permitted my concerns, which are slight, to become apparent. So please, don't go out of your way on my account. Melinoe (Melinoe_4613): I'm not going out of my way. And if it's truly your wish for the time we share to be fulfilling, then you can start by taking the opportunities that present themselves. Moros (Moros_0397): You make a strong case. It would be my honor to accompany you, then. Shall we head down? Moros (Moros_0398): ...I have been drawn to others on occasion, yes. But, I knew better than to let myself become attached. If my heart started to speak to me, I always could make it quiet down. Melinoe (Melinoe_4614): In that, at least, we're quite alike... skilled at quieting our hearts. Though if the Lady Aphrodite's taught me anything, it's that our passions needn't always be suppressed. Moros (Moros_0399): What do you mean, Princess? What passions could you have possibly suppressed, given all that you've achieved? Melinoe (Melinoe_4615): Well, for one thing, even being here with you... the past me never would have had the clarity of mind to ask, I think. My mind would have talked my heart out of it. Moros (Moros_0400): Then I'm very grateful that your heart is beginning to prevail in more of these debates. I think it only makes you stronger, and... perhaps it's the Ambrosia, but... I'm very fond of that. Of you in your entirety, truly. Melinoe (Melinoe_4616): Oh...! While we're being candid, then... I've become rather fond of you as well... but, if you're promised to another, I don't wish to interfere. Moros (Moros_0401): I don't know this other goddess to whom I've been promised, nor do I want to. And I've violated the will of the Fates already; we both have. Wherever all this leads, I would have {#Emph}you {#Prev}by my side. Moros (Moros_0403): I very much enjoyed our time, Princess, and will anticipate when we can be together next. Soon, I trust. Melinoe (Melinoe_4618): I feel the same way. MorosWithCharon01 Moros (Moros_0188): ...Nevertheless, I feel as though I ought have been there, Brother. Perhaps I could have protected them as was my charge. To think the Fates themselves may have denied me the attempt. It's discomforting that I may never know. Charon (Charon_0083): {#Emph}Keeehhhh, hraaauuggghhh...! Moros (Moros_0189): You have every reason to be angry. I'm angry, too. Nonetheless, I'm grateful that our paths have intertwined again. Be safe, Charon. MorosWithCharon02 Moros (Moros_0190): Charon... you, Nemesis, even Hypnos. Who else, Eris? It seems I was one of the last to know of these Crossroads among the children of Nyx. Perhaps I ought have stayed in better contact. Charon (Charon_0084): {#Emph}Mrrnngggghhh, hnnnn... Melinoe (Melinoe_2096): Come, Lord Charon, your brother is our guest. And even if you did all drift apart, you're here together now. Moving forward. Moros (Moros_0191): Wait, how did you...? No matter. MorosWithEris01 Moros (Moros_0327): Come to your senses, Eris. You're not doing yourself any favors by impeding the will of the Fates. Have you heard of even a single incident where that turned out for the best? Eris (Eris_0174): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}But there's a first time for everything, and I'm not interested in hearing veiled threats from them through {#Emph}you. {#Prev}If they care so much about what I'm up to, why don't they contact me {#Emph}themselves? Moros (Moros_0328): You know that isn't how it works. Have you truly made up your mind, to side against... well, {#Emph}everyone? Eugh{#Prev}, even {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}not supposed to be speaking to you... Eris (Eris_0175): I do what I want, {#Emph}Moros. MorosWithEris02 Eris (Eris_0114): {#Emph}Come on{#Prev}, man! Gotta tell me why you're really {#Emph}here! {#Prev}The Three don't just send you out on long {#Emph}assignments {#Prev}like this! Wait... is it because of {#Emph}her? Moros (Moros_0324): Please, Eris. The Princess ought to be addressed as such. And lest you forget, the details of my arrival are not for me to divulge. There must be something else we can discuss. Eris (Eris_0115): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, I can think of {#Emph}lots {#Prev}of things. I want to know what's going on with you two. I see the way you look up at her as she trots by. Maybe the Three sent you here to {#Emph}set the two of you up...? Moros (Moros_0325): You're trying to embarrass me... it isn't going to work. And besides, we both know the Fates have better uses of their weaving-time than things like that. Eris (Eris_0116): Do they {#Emph}really? {#Prev}Thought they were all about meddling with the smallest details of everybody's lives! {#Emph}But{#Prev}, you'd know better than me. Moros (Moros_0326): I know better than to be provoked like this... Eris (Eris_0163): {#Emph}Hm! MorosWithHecate01 Moros (Moros_0482): ...As long as it is not an imposition, Lady Hecate. I know you have far greater responsibilities than looking after yet another child of Nyx. Especially when Nyx herself is back. Hecate (Hecate_0879): When Melinoë first summoned you I said that you could stay for now, and it continues to {#Emph}be {#Prev}now, does it not? You seem the sort to make yourself useful without getting underfoot. 'Tis all that I require. Moros (Moros_0483): Then I shall do so to the best of my ability. Please notify me if you deem my performance unsatisfactory in any way. Hecate (Hecate_0880): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}gods, you're just like her. Moros (Moros_0484): Like who...? MorosWithHypnos01 Hypnos (Hypnos_0006_C): {#Emph}Zzzzz, zzzz{#Prev}... Moros (Moros_0067): How strange to be encountering this brother of mine here. So then he truly hasn't stirred at all? Melinoe (Melinoe_0907): Not once. Headmistress Hecate says Hypnos was already fast asleep when she recovered him from my father's House. You never visited him there before? Moros (Moros_0068): It wasn't my place. We each come from big families, don't we? Odd families. You know how it is. Melinoe (Melinoe_0908): I'm beginning to, yes. MorosWithIcarus01 Moros (Moros_0477): ...Oh yes, I certainly remember you. Would it be any consolation knowing that the Fates had already decided that your wings would fail you, and you would fall? Icarus (Icarus_0472): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, not exactly, no. For one thing, that would make the Three Fates seem a little, well, you know... {#Emph}mean. {#Prev}I was just some kid, and an {#Emph}imprisoned {#Prev}kid! Why pick on {#Emph}me? {#Prev}And for another, are you saying that I had no real choice? Moros (Moros_0478): Well first, my sisters have to be impartial, to keep a healthy distance from their work. Rarely is it ever personal. As for the choice you made... it was still yours, except... the outcome would have likely happened either way. Icarus (Icarus_0473): You're saying if I didn't fly up like a dolt and melt my wings, they would have simply broken or something later on, and I'd have plunged into the water anyway...? Moros (Moros_0479): Not necessarily exactly that... but yes. Icarus (Icarus_0474): Well {#Emph}that's {#Prev}reassuring! MorosWithOdysseus01 Moros (Moros_0192): To be direct with you, Master Odysseus, I am what you might call an admirer. At first, I found you {#Emph}extraordinarily {#Prev}frustrating, so adept were you at avoiding certain Doom. But gradually, perhaps grudgingly, I grew very impressed. Odysseus (Odysseus_0166): Oh, {#Emph}hah{#Prev}, I'm... flattered and relieved to hear it, very kind of you to let me know, particularly after... all this time... Moros (Moros_0193): It's quite humorous, in fact. While you drew breath, I never once had opportunity to tell you! Odysseus (Odysseus_0167): {#Emph}Erm, {#Prev}quite humorous indeed, milord! I intended no offense by avoiding you, you know that, of course? A mortal impulse, whilst in mortal peril. Moros (Moros_0194): Oh, you were a wonder to behold! There were the Laestrygonian giants, Charybdis, and, lest we forget... the war of Ilium...! Odysseus (Odysseus_0168): I never do...! MorosWithOdysseus02 Moros (Moros_0195): ...So then... were you ever certain you had finally met your Doom? Or did you truly think there was always a plan of escape to be discovered, no matter how dire the circumstance? Odysseus (Odysseus_0169): Well, to be quite frank with you, Moros — may we be informal thus? I had the hardest time untangling myself not from near-fatal situations, but the arms of certain goddesses... my greatest weakness, looking back... Moros (Moros_0196_B): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, indeed... but how was this a weakness? As I understand, your wife Penelope stood by your side... I trust I do not overstep; I know this can be a sensitive topic with those from the surface. Odysseus (Odysseus_0701): Aye, Penelope stood by my side, having spent her best years awaiting a man who was not always in a hurry to return. After we each lived out our days, we reunited in the Underworld, but... we needed a break. Moros (Moros_0197): I see. After everything you'd been through, did your relationship end in an amicable way, at least? Odysseus (Odysseus_0702): It didn't end so much as {#Emph}changed{#Prev}, but... aye. MorosWithOdysseus03 Moros (Moros_0329): ...The wooden horse was an exquisite trick. Your own inevitable Doom, misdirected toward your unsuspecting foes! A masterstroke. But my personal favorite had to be the Polyphemus incident... Odysseus (Odysseus_0226): You speak of it like an old action yarn. Big bastard massacred my crew. My heart threatened to burst from my chest getting past him, and {#Emph}now {#Prev}he's up to his old antics with the Goddess there. Moros (Moros_0330): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, but I have no doubt that with your guidance, the Princess shall outsmart the Cyclops {#Emph}again {#Prev}and {#Emph}again. {#Prev}As recompense for the trouble that he caused you! Odysseus (Odysseus_0227): Hear that, Goddess? Mourner.EnemySightedVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1036): Mourners...! Mudman.EnemySightedVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_0447): An Eidolon. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0448): Eidolon! Melinoe (MelinoeField_0449): Eidolon huh? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0450): Eidolon there. N_Hub.EnterVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1366): How... can... I...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1367): This... isn't... working... Heracles (Heracles_0043): You. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4578): Through Ephyra as before... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0368): Best have a look around... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0369): The main square... Melinoe (Melinoe_1370): Ephyra's main square... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4578): Through Ephyra as before... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0367): Something's different this time... Melinoe (Melinoe_1371): Back to the main square. Melinoe (Melinoe_1372): The city square. Melinoe (Melinoe_1373): That barricade's back up... Melinoe (Melinoe_1374): Time to break through again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0618): Something's changed... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0374): They're trying to slow me down... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0375): So many different streets... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0511): What next... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0512): Now what... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0513): Where next... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0514): Where else. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0515): Where to from here... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0516): Next up... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0517): Getting somewhere. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0518): The air feels different now... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0519): More Pylons are nearby... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0520): Next Pylon, then. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0376): Where to this time... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0417): Few more Pylons left. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0418): Just a few Pylons to go. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0620): Now to get out of here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0621): I'll show myself out... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0622): Nowhere to go but out. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0623): Time to go. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0624): Finished here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0625): Should be able to get out. N_MiniBoss02.EnterVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_3707): The Boar of Erymanthus... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3708): That rotting boar again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3710): You don't remember me, do you? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3711): Pure instinct and rage... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3709): You don't like staying down for long. N_Opening01.EnterVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_0568): My curse... I feel... all right... N_PostBoss01.EnterVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1729): Must be where Polyphemus lives... {#Emph}eugh...

Melinoe (MelinoeField_2058): That {#Emph}smell... Melinoe (Melinoe_1721): Such a mess. N_PreHub01.ExitVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_0362): Gap in the wall... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0363): Just, squeeze on through... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0364): Heading in. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0365): Into Ephyra. NarcissusAboutBeauty01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0258): Here comes Laurel, or whatever her name is. I was just thinking about the time we met. I looked down into the shimmering waters... and there he was. Our eyes locked; like he could see {#Emph}my soul. {#Prev}We've been together ever since. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1160): I have to say, I don't think I've met anyone who's quite so taken with themselves as you, Narcissus. I'm a little envious. When I see myself... I see so many flaws. Narcissus (Narcissus_0091): {#Emph}Oof{#Prev}, I know what you mean. Not everybody's born with perfect skin... lustrous hair... total package. But everybody's beautiful in their own way! {#Emph}Even you. NarcissusAboutChamber01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0264): Sure is nice here, isn't it? The air is thick, the waters, crystal clear. And there's no rain! I couldn't see myself at all when it would rain. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3505): I'm pleased to know that the untended outer reaches of the Underworld exceed your expectations. Surely Lord Hades would want all his subjects to be well accommodated here. Narcissus (Narcissus_0265): Come on I know not everybody's gonna get a spot as sweet as {#Emph}this. {#Prev}The best spots in all the Underworld go to those who earned those spots in life, right? Well no wonder! NarcissusAboutChronos01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1990): Nothing gets to you! A war rages between the Titan Chronos and the gods, but you've shown not even the slightest concern. What's your secret? Narcissus (Narcissus_0195): I don't keep secrets, Laurel. It's just that... {#Emph}I don't care. {#Prev}If it doesn't affect me, it doesn't affect me. Got enough problems of my own... such as, how best to get rid of all {#Emph}these. NarcissusAboutCurse01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0250): Maybe it is a curse... this thing I've got. The way that everybody falls for me the moment they lay eyes on me, I mean I {#Emph}get {#Prev}it! But still. They don't even know me.... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2851): Mere infatuation, in the guise of love... though to your point, your suitors might do well to interrogate their feelings once in a while. And respect your wish for privacy. Narcissus (Narcissus_0251): Well the Shades around here aren't so bad I guess. They know where we stand! Back when I lost myself in these waters... they kept me company. Like {#Emph}you. NarcissusAboutDanger01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0028): Don't the vicious creatures contaminating these chambers make this a rather dangerous place in which to laze about? Narcissus (Narcissus_0051): Oh, I've made clear to them that they don't stand a chance with me at all. In my position, it's not good to send mixed messages. Both for my suitor's sakes... and for {#Emph}my own. NarcissusAboutEcho01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2051): You're very focused. Centered on the self. Become inured somehow to the incessant singing that always echoes through these halls. Narcissus (Narcissus_0049): Speak not to me of Echo's this or Echo's that, OK? Echo meant nothing to me and somehow got the wrong idea anyway. And don't {#Emph}you {#Prev}get any ideas either. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2032): {#Emph}Speak not to me of echoes{#Prev}, what...? I'm talking about Scylla's song. You've somehow learned to block it out, though... gods, I think I'm beginning to like it... Narcissus (Narcissus_0050): How about I learn to block {#Emph}you {#Prev}out! With {#Emph}this. NarcissusAboutEcho01B Melinoe (Melinoe_2051): You're very focused. Centered on the self. Become inured somehow to the incessant singing that always echoes through these halls. Narcissus (Narcissus_0049): Speak not to me of Echo's this or Echo's that, OK? Echo meant nothing to me and somehow got the wrong idea anyway. And don't {#Emph}you {#Prev}get any ideas either. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1144): {#Emph}Echo meant nothing to you{#Prev}, what... I was talking about Scylla's song and how you've blocked it out. Come to think, I can't quite hear it now either. Narcissus (Narcissus_0050): How about I learn to block {#Emph}you {#Prev}out! With {#Emph}this. NarcissusAboutEcho02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0065): Look, I can tell you're having trouble moving on. Maybe you ought to spend a little time down in the Fields. Clear your head, put the pieces of your heart back together, and all that? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1146): If you mean the Mourning Fields, I don't think that's a healing place. The Shades there wallow in self-pity and speechless despair. Although, there is one who repeats whatever I say to her... Narcissus (Narcissus_0066): Repeats whatever you say to her! I knew a Nymph like that one time. Nice girl. But she didn't get me! Only ever talked about {#Emph}herself. {#Prev}I had to cut her off. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1147): So you do know Echo, the Mountain Nymph! She's languishing in the Fields even now. Apparently because of you. I can hardly get through to her... Narcissus (Narcissus_0067): Oh, that's too bad. Well, tell her Narcissus really wants what's best for her. Unless that's {#Emph}me. {#Prev}Don't tell her that part, though. NarcissusAboutEcho03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1492): I spoke to Echo about you. Said you didn't mean to hurt her, though perhaps I shouldn't have. She responded in her usual way but I could tell something happened. You broke her heart? Narcissus (Narcissus_0068): She broke her {#Emph}own {#Prev}heart! They always fall for people who don't love them back. Anyway, I'm sure she'll find someone who thinks she's... {#Emph}awesome. {#Prev}Plenty of fish... {#Emph}in the sea! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1149): Yes, I've noticed. So, has anybody ever fallen out of love with you? Or do they all end up in the Mourning Fields, pining for you for eternity? Narcissus (Narcissus_0069): All I know is no one's ever loved me as much as {#Emph}me. {#Prev}They're all too busy feeling sorry for themselves to really care, you know? Can't love someone... if you can't love {#Emph}yourself. NarcissusAboutEcho04 Narcissus (Narcissus_0070): Hey tell me something. Is Echo really not OK? I thought about the things you said, how she was all alone down in the Fields... how could I hurt someone without even trying, you know? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1150): Narcissus, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm impressed you've given any thought to someone else. As for Echo, she seems to be getting by. Is there something you'd like to say to her should I cross paths with her again? Narcissus (Narcissus_0071): Sure, {#Emph}um... {#Prev}go ahead and tell her that I hope she finds someone who loves her like I love {#Emph}me. {#Prev}But don't tell her I said it, she'd just get the wrong idea and her heart would break... again. NarcissusAboutEcho05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1988): Do you think you'll ever visit Echo again in the Fields? You seemed to have no trouble getting there and back. Narcissus (Narcissus_0193): You know, maybe I might! But it's a little crowded there, and I do like it here. So then again, maybe I won't! We made a clean break. Why mess with a {#Emph}perfectly good thing? NarcissusAboutEcho06 Narcissus (Narcissus_0247): You know the strangest thing happened lately... I found myself thinking about Echo... as a friend. You said we're cursed but, I {#Emph}like {#Prev}mine. I'm {#Emph}blessed! {#Prev}But what about her? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2849): Good question! Why don't you visit her again and ask yourself? You spoke to her of friendship. Friends share each other's burdens. Narcissus (Narcissus_0248): Sort of like how you share the burden of this limitless supply of gifts, right? Here's the thing, though: I don't think I can leave this place again... now that the waters here are clear. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2850): You'd be leaving only temporarily. And the love of your life is always with you, even if you can't always gaze longingly into his eyes. Narcissus (Narcissus_0249): {#Emph}All right{#Prev}, all right, stop pushing me around! But if you do see Echo, tell her that her {#Emph}friend {#Prev}said hi, OK? NarcissusAboutFriendship01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0256): ...I keep on thinking why is it so many friends can't just be friends? Like, what is {#Emph}wrong {#Prev}with that? They have to make it all romantic and then ruin everything! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2854): Perhaps they're simply striving not to feel alone. We can't always control our feelings, or even tell what's causing them. So they get in the way of what's best for us. Narcissus (Narcissus_0257): Not for me! But probably for everybody else. Anyway, true friendship's just another type of love, and should be able to go through a rough patch every now and then. NarcissusAboutFriendship02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0266): Hey wait, you're kind of like a {#Emph}friend {#Prev}of mine by now, aren't you? Unless you're playing the long game... make me let my guard down then go in for the {#Emph}kill! {#Prev}The {#Emph}ultimate suitor... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3508): I understand your need to remain guarded when so many have attempted to win your affections even though you've made quite clear that you're not interested. But that's not me. Narcissus (Narcissus_0267): Can't be too careful these days. So like, no sudden movements or anything, OK? If you're not here for me... must be for one of {#Emph}these. NarcissusAboutFriendship03 Narcissus (Narcissus_0268): Hey I wanted you to know, I've come to the conclusion that you really aren't here to sweep me off my feet. Instead, I've come to a conclusion that's... {#Emph}more disturbing. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3509): {#Emph}More {#Prev}disturbing? Very well, I've braced myself. What's your conclusion about me, Narcissus? After all this time. Narcissus (Narcissus_0269): My conclusion is you're only here for the free gifts I offer you repeatedly without a second thought. If I weren't so selfless, then no one would like me... for {#Emph}who I am. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3510): Don't you think I'm capable of appreciating your company as well as your gifts? Your generosity is part of who you are. Though, why not put it to the test if you're uncertain? Narcissus (Narcissus_0270): {#Emph}...No! {#Prev}No, or... maybe. Look I'd not considered that before. The ramifications, {#Emph}augh! {#Prev}Please leave me to consider what this means. But first... NarcissusAboutFriendship04 Narcissus (Narcissus_0271): What if I didn't give you any gift this time, what would you think about that, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}I'm warning you, I'll do it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3511): Go right ahead, if it makes you feel better or lets you put your inhibitions to rest! I've little need for most resources that you offer at this point anyhow. Narcissus (Narcissus_0272): You're {#Emph}bluffing! {#Prev}You {#Emph}want {#Prev}me to bestow one of my numerous offerings. Well I'll show {#Emph}you! {#Prev}I'm really gonna do it! This time... you get... {#Emph}nothing! {#Prev}How do you like that? {#Emph}Yeah! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3649): It's quite all right. See you around! NarcissusAboutFriendship05 Narcissus (Narcissus_0273): ...What are you doing here, Laurel? I'm not in search of suitors, I'm no longer giving anything away, and I know I'm not friendship material. Leave me {#Emph}be... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3512): If your newfound concern is to become friendship material, you could start by getting my name right. I'm called Melinoë. Although, I'm getting used to Laurel more and more... Narcissus (Narcissus_0274): ...And just for {#Emph}that{#Prev}, no gift from me {#Emph}this {#Prev}time either! Some friend I am, right? Now let me get back to giving my undivided attention to the only one I {#Emph}really {#Prev}care about. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3650): Suit yourself. NarcissusAboutFriendship06 Narcissus (Narcissus_0275): ...You're a good friend, man. And much more. Always here for me, you know? Except that time the waters got all murky, but then Laurel, um... {#Emph}Melinoë... {#Prev}she really helped us out. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3513): Yet now you've taken to ignoring me because for some reason you find it difficult to fathom that I value your companionship, not just your numerous unwanted gifts. Narcissus (Narcissus_0276): Not listening! And if my gifts are so unwanted, then I'm sure you wouldn't mind it if I didn't give another one to you {#Emph}again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3651): I don't mind, no. NarcissusAboutFriendship07 Narcissus (Narcissus_0277): ...Sometimes I think about how Echo's doing... how {#Emph}you're {#Prev}doing, meaning {#Emph}you {#Prev}not {#Emph}me... {#Prev}and then I start to wonder do you think about how {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}doing, too. It's messed up. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3514): I assure you it's perfectly fine. But you don't have to wonder what I think; you can just ask! Since I'll keep visiting from time to time, as long as that's all right. Narcissus (Narcissus_0278): You'll keep visiting even though I've ceased to offer you my gifts, so that your only reason to stop by is to see me? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3515): Either you, or some Sea-Serpent, or some such. Narcissus (Narcissus_0279): Yeah... NarcissusAboutFriendship08 Narcissus (Narcissus_0280): You know, ever since I stopped giving you your choice of unwanted gifts, they really piled up... I've got some pretty {#Emph}good {#Prev}ones back there, too... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3516): They're meant for {#Emph}you {#Prev}and no one else, Narcissus. I'm certain that your would-be suitors would prefer you keep them anyhow. Narcissus (Narcissus_0281): Well funny thing about that is, some of these Shades, sounds like they've heard of you! But they are {#Emph}way {#Prev}too insecure to give you stuff directly, so... they hand it off to {#Emph}me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3517): What? So then some of those Verdure Samplers, Ancestral Offerings, and such... they were for me in the first place? Narcissus (Narcissus_0282): Probably most of them lately but I definitely lost count. So anyway, {#Emph}uh... {#Prev}here. NarcissusAboutFriendship09 Narcissus (Narcissus_0283): Hey, thanks for stopping by. I thought you'd definitely go away once I held out on giving you free stuff. Especially since a bunch of it was yours. But you didn't give up on me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3518): You seemed as though you were just going through a phase, and not the sort an incantation could alleviate. It's true I didn't always think of you as a friend, Narcissus; but I do now. Narcissus (Narcissus_0284): It's funny, I... {#Emph}believe you. {#Prev}And since friends help each other out, why don't you take your pick of one of these. Those Shades back there brought plenty for the both of us. NarcissusAboutKeepsake01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0092): There was this wonderful aroma in the air just now... lilac on a summer breeze, or something like that. I {#Emph}thought {#Prev}it was you. But it's just the gift I gave you before. {#Emph}Good stuff. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1161): This Aromatic Phial you gave me does smell rather pleasant, doesn't it? I scarcely notice with all the brine and fishy odor around here. Though it doesn't seem to bother you. Narcissus (Narcissus_0093): Oh I just tune it out. Like all the rest. I give my undivided attention... to {#Emph}me... {#Prev}and I guess some of it to you, but you don't stay for long so it's OK. NarcissusAboutLooks01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0014): I have one rule, and that's {#Emph}look, but don't touch{#Prev}, OK? In fact, why don't you stand a little farther back, and also tell me how come you keep showing up like this? Melinoe (Melinoe_2048): I've some affairs to settle in the lower reaches of the Underworld. Thought I'd take this rather scenic route, through this chamber of yours. Narcissus (Narcissus_0015): Oh, it isn't my chamber. I just find the waters here particularly clean and reflective, and far fewer would-be suitors than in Asphodel. Remember to take a gift before you go! NarcissusAboutLooks02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0016): Sometimes I wonder, what would it have been like were I not so unbelievably attractive? Some things would've been easier... not having everybody fall in love with me... maybe arithmetic... Melinoe (Melinoe_2049): You're concerned that you're too winsome for your own good...? Well if it makes you feel any better, I don't find you particularly attractive... Narcissus (Narcissus_0017): Oh, I know you don't mean that. Though I appreciate you trying to comfort me. {#Emph}As a friend. NarcissusAboutLove01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1992): It's hard to believe you're so completely in love with yourself. Don't you ever... consider the mistakes you've made, or ways in which you can improve? Or {#Emph}not {#Prev}improve, even... Narcissus (Narcissus_0197): What, are you kidding? How could you possibly improve on {#Emph}this? {#Prev}Though, I definitely see your point. In your case. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1993): Was that a bit of ridicule, or do you in fact have some keen bit of insight or feedback about me you're willing to share? Narcissus (Narcissus_0198): If you're unhappy with the way you are, why don't you just, like, {#Emph}change? {#Prev}Or if you can't... get over it I guess, I don't know. NarcissusAboutLove02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0252): You know I was thinking... if you don't love {#Emph}me {#Prev}that must mean you've fallen pretty hard for someone else! So who's the lucky guy or gal or whatever? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2852): That isn't any of your business... but, you've opened up to me. Look, I don't really fall in love the way you think. Tales of people falling all over themselves... I can't relate to any of it. Narcissus (Narcissus_0253): Oh that's OK! I can't relate to other people's love either. Anyway, as long as you've got something that keeps you going! And since you keep on showing up, {#Emph}I guess you do. NarcissusAboutLove03 Narcissus (Narcissus_0254): I had plenty of suitors that said they wanted to be friends, but... they were still in love with me. I had to cut 'em off. How come it's harder to be friends than be in love, you know? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2853): Perhaps because... when it comes to feelings of infatuation, it takes effort to banish them, {#Emph}not {#Prev}to have them. But cultivating friendships... that takes work. Narcissus (Narcissus_0255): I guess. I used to think I didn't need friends since I don't get lonely, but like... it's nice sometimes! Having somebody else to talk to about stuff. Like Echo, and like {#Emph}you! NarcissusAboutNemesis01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0055): {#Emph}Huh{#Prev}, it's only you. Been getting crowded lately between all these chats and {#Emph}what's-her-name {#Prev}stomping around... least you're not {#Emph}her. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0031): What's-her-name, that sounds like Nemesis. Scornful expression, dark hair and armor? What's your concern with her? Narcissus (Narcissus_0056): Gives me a bad {#Emph}vibe. {#Prev}Storms around, shakes everything up. Something about her, I don't know. Don't hurt my head, OK? NarcissusAboutOceanus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0029): Narcissus, how did you discover this place anyhow? I'd not expected to have a friendly chat along the outskirts of the Underworld. Narcissus (Narcissus_0052): I always knew my way around the rivers and the seas. After I died, I got stuck in Asphodel for a while. Way too {#Emph}dry. {#Prev}So once the Underworld opened up, I swam straight here. Where it's {#Emph}cool. NarcissusAboutOceanus02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0057): Hey what's your problem, anyway? Always huffing through here like you're late to something. You got to learn to {#Emph}relax. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0032): Sounds like you were there when the Underworld opened up. It shouldn't have. Narcissus (Narcissus_0058): How come? That way I'd still be shriveled up in Asphodel! Know what, though, just forget I asked. You're killing my mood here. NarcissusAboutReflection01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0053): ...Don't worry, man, she's not so bad, she doesn't stay for long. Soon it'll just be you and me again... and all those {#Emph}Shades {#Prev}back there. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0030): Pardon the interruption, Narcissus. Were you just... speaking to your own reflection there? Narcissus (Narcissus_0054): They're always quick to judge, aren't they? Look, Laurel, or whatever your name is: You'll never understand what I've got. Don't even {#Emph}try. NarcissusAboutReflection02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0084): ...What would you say is your best quality, if you had to choose? The one thing you most adore... what drives everyone around you {#Emph}wild...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1157): Oh, I, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}well... I'm quite attentive, I think. If you tell me something, you don't have to tell me twice! Chances are I'll take it to heart the first time. Though, why do you ask? Narcissus (Narcissus_0085): {#Emph}Pff{#Prev}, there she goes, butting into our private conversations! I know your best quality, man: your {#Emph}looks. {#Prev}Whoever says looks aren't everything's a dummy. Like this girl over here! Just give her a gift, and she leaves us alone! NarcissusAboutReflection03 Narcissus (Narcissus_0086): ...Got to say, your hair is looking {#Emph}awesome {#Prev}lately, you know? Whole wet-look thing! Must be all the humidity and brine. {#Emph}Keep it up. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1158): I was about to thank you for the compliment when it occurred to me that you're just talking to yourself again, most likely. In which case, forgive the interruption! Narcissus (Narcissus_0087): Don't worry about it. I have plenty of time to myself. But you only get to see me, what, maybe once a day, tops? Better than nothing, though {#Emph}not nearly enough. NarcissusAboutReflection04 Narcissus (Narcissus_0088): ...Hey remember the time you were, like, checking yourself out, and then a bee or something lands right on your face, so you swat it, {#Emph}bam! {#Prev}Your eye was swollen shut for like a week. You looked {#Emph}terrible{#Prev}, man! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1159): Pardon, Narcissus. That sounds like it must have been a harrowing experience. Was your love for yourself tested when the reflection staring back at you had a big puffy eyelid? Narcissus (Narcissus_0089): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}I mean... not really. But this love is more than skin-deep. Even if I can't look at me... I can still talk to me... and even if I can't do that, I can always {#Emph}think {#Prev}about me, you know? And so can {#Emph}you. NarcissusAboutSirens01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1991): Ever been to one of the local shows around here? Scylla and the Sirens keep playing night after night, much as I'd hoped they'd move on to the next stage of their tour by now... Narcissus (Narcissus_0196): Only music that I care for is {#Emph}my voice. {#Prev}The rest can get so loud, it disturbs the surface of the water. And whatever disturbs the surface of the water... {#Emph}disturbs me. NarcissusAboutSolitude01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2050): Don't you get lonely sitting here, staring into those waters? Especially in a place like this. Narcissus (Narcissus_0018): Lonely? I don't know the meaning of the word. I have the best company you could ever ask for: {#Emph}Me! NarcissusAboutStillDirtyWaters01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1989): You're still wallowing in misery trying to see your reflection in a muddy pool. Why not just relocate? The waters aren't like this everywhere. Narcissus (Narcissus_0194): ...I'll never leave you, man. I got us into this, I'll find a way to get us out, OK? So don't you quit on me! We'll figure something out, just need to stay focused. No distractions! NarcissusAboutSuitors01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0260): Cutting to the front of the line! Whoever you are, at least you've got more guts than all my other would-be suitors back there. Though you still don't have a {#Emph}chance. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3503): These Shades must have felt strongly for you in life if they've been lingering nearby. But it wasn't my intent to be out of turn, merely to thank you for your gift the other night. Narcissus (Narcissus_0261): Oh I know every opening line there is, and {#Emph}merely to thank you {#Prev}is one of the classics. Acting all demure! Well I know what you really want, and you're not getting it. Just {#Emph}this. NarcissusAboutSurface01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0262): Not seen you too much lately. I figured you'd moved on. But then I figured, that's impossible. {#Emph}They always come back. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3504): I've had a few things to take care of on the surface recently, so I've been spending more evenings up top. Though I appreciate you noting my absence. Narcissus (Narcissus_0263): I mostly noted more unwanted gifts piling up! Get rid of one of these for me, would ya? Maybe someone you know could use it... way up {#Emph}there. NarcissusAboutWaters01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0072): Oh it's you again. Look, I... want you to leave me alone, OK? Because I'm in a state of grief. And the only one I want to see me that way... is {#Emph}me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1151): {#Emph}State of grief{#Prev}, wait. What's with the water here...? It's gone all murky or something. Oh, no! You can't see your reflection anymore... Narcissus (Narcissus_0073): Don't need to rub it in, dummy! Not like you can do something about it anyway. A lot of things turn ugly after a while. So please excuse me while I mourn for what I've lost... NarcissusAboutWaters01_2 Narcissus (Narcissus_0237): Didn't see you come in. Because I can't really see anything in here anymore... I'm sure the water's gonna clear up, though! At least, I {#Emph}think {#Prev}I'm sure... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2844): Something's amiss. Such contamination typically never lasts more than a night or two. Have you checked other locations? The waters elsewhere don't appear like this. Narcissus (Narcissus_0238): You're just saying that to lure me away so you can take my spot! And since when are {#Emph}you {#Prev}an expert on water filtration? {#Emph}Nah{#Prev}, these types of problems always {#Emph}fix themselves. NarcissusAboutWaters01_3 Narcissus (Narcissus_0239): Look, I have done a lot of thinking, and... I've started thinking maybe that these waters aren't gonna clear up after all. I even checked a different spot, and sure enough... {#Emph}same thing. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2845): Forget the waters for a moment, something's going on with {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Though whether you've done this to yourself or someone else has, I can't say. Have you been clinging to feelings of guilt, resentment, that sort of thing? Narcissus (Narcissus_0240): {#Emph}No {#Prev}way! I have {#Emph}never {#Prev}been better! Except when the waters were clear. I have never experienced feelings of guilt or resentment in my life. Unless you mean... well... {#Emph}huh. NarcissusAboutWaters02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1152): These waters are still filthy. I know all sorts of purification rites. You've aided me so often, the least I can do is help sort this out. Narcissus (Narcissus_0074): And what exactly do you have in mind, a bunch of soap? I don't think that's gonna work. It's a big sea out there! {#Emph}Nah{#Prev}, I think... I think I'm just gonna have to move on. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2846): That may be just the thing! You said before you wished to mourn for what you've lost. You might attempt that in the Fields below, where Echo now resides. If you can bury your past with her, perhaps your aura may be cleansed. Narcissus (Narcissus_0075): You think me talking to Echo's gonna clear things up? Well... couldn't hurt, I guess. And they love me down in the Fields! Tell you what. I'm gonna... {#Emph}give it some thought... NarcissusAboutWaters03 Narcissus (Narcissus_0076): Oh, hey. Yeah I'm still here and everything. Though I've been thinking of a visit to the Fields one of these days... nights? I dunno. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1154): Take all the time you need. I know it must be difficult, and the trip is treacherous. You could accompany me if you wish? Narcissus (Narcissus_0077): Sounds like a date, {#Emph}no {#Prev}thanks. I get around just fine all by myself. But for now... I can still see a bit of {#Emph}me {#Prev}in here if I squint hard enough. {#Emph}It's a good look... NarcissusAboutWaters04 Narcissus (Narcissus_0080): I talked to Echo like you said I should. What {#Emph}gives? {#Prev}This place is still the same! I thought you were gonna fix everything. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2847): I didn't make myself clear. {#Emph}You {#Prev}have to fix everything, not me. You and Echo each are cursed, and your curses now are tangled up. You have more to discuss and sort out. Narcissus (Narcissus_0241): What do you mean I'm cursed, {#Emph}you're {#Prev}cursed, I mean I've got it {#Emph}all! {#Prev}You don't know what you're talking about...! Unless you do... NarcissusAboutWaters04_2 Narcissus (Narcissus_0246): I talked to her again just like you said, but nothing's changed in here. Though I feel kind of different anyway. I guess I'll have to settle for that. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1155): Fear not, I keep my vows; I still have a purification rite to complete. I appreciate that you had the courage to meet with Echo, even if it was for your own sake. Narcissus (Narcissus_0081): Yeah, well, that's love for you, right? I guess I'll just... hang out here till you do your thing. The Fields are nice and all, but... too many would-be suitors over there. NarcissusAboutWaters05 Narcissus (Narcissus_0082): Laurel, look! The waters are all clear! You don't know how glad I am to see {#Emph}me. {#Prev}You must have done your {#Emph}thing! {#Prev}I'd give you a hug or something, but... I wouldn't want you to take it the wrong way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1156): Excellent. So then the purification worked out after all. Echo must have taken whatever you said to heart. Perhaps you're not as hopelessly self-absorbed as I feared. Narcissus (Narcissus_0083): ...Say what? Sorry, I was just... yeah, I mean, just {#Emph}look {#Prev}at this, the {#Emph}chin{#Prev}, the turn of the {#Emph}cheek... {#Prev}have you ever seen anything like it? Tell Echo I said hi. But as a {#Emph}friend. NarcissusChat01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0004): You can't have my looks, but you can have {#Emph}this. NarcissusChat02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0005): I don't mean to be rude, but I'm kind of in the middle of something here? NarcissusChat03 Narcissus (Narcissus_0006): Tread softly, OK? I like it when the waters here are perfectly still. NarcissusChat04 Narcissus (Narcissus_0007): Sometimes I wonder... how could a face be any better looking than {#Emph}this? NarcissusChat05 Narcissus (Narcissus_0008): Some come here to reflect... but nobody reflects better than {#Emph}me. NarcissusChat06 Narcissus (Narcissus_0009): For somebody who's not a would-be suitor, you sure come around a lot. NarcissusChat07 Narcissus (Narcissus_0010): ...Those eyes... that jawline... the hair... oh man, the hair... NarcissusChat08 Narcissus (Narcissus_0011): ...Wow, you know you really do look great tonight, man... NarcissusChat09 Narcissus (Narcissus_0012): Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find someone who loves you at some point. NarcissusChat10 Narcissus (Narcissus_0013): Oh, it's you again. Just help yourself I guess, and leave the rest to {#Emph}me. NarcissusChat11 Narcissus (Narcissus_0039): No one's going to help you if you don't help {#Emph}yourself. NarcissusChat12 Narcissus (Narcissus_0040): Got everything I need right here. Plus all this stuff I welcome you to take! NarcissusChat13 Narcissus (Narcissus_0041): I'm already spoken for, but all this other stuff is up for {#Emph}grabs. NarcissusChat14 Narcissus (Narcissus_0042): ...Good to see your face again, man! Don't even worry about her. NarcissusChat15 Narcissus (Narcissus_0043): ...Look at yourself, man! You're too good for any of these dummies. NarcissusChat16 Narcissus (Narcissus_0044): Take one of these, maybe it'll help you get your {#Emph}own {#Prev}suitors. NarcissusChat17 Narcissus (Narcissus_0045): I felt that piercing gaze upon me once again and figured it was {#Emph}you. NarcissusChat18 Narcissus (Narcissus_0046): These waters are so clear, they really bring out the best in me. NarcissusChat19 Narcissus (Narcissus_0047): You're always looking out for me! And you found me. So {#Emph}good job. NarcissusChat20 Narcissus (Narcissus_0048): Congratulations finding me again! Now take your prize, and {#Emph}go. NarcissusChat21 Narcissus (Narcissus_0215): Stay as long as you like! Or better yet, pick one of these and {#Emph}go. NarcissusChat22 Narcissus (Narcissus_0216): Take what you want, but only one. Not playing favorites here. NarcissusChat23 Narcissus (Narcissus_0217): Why don't you take one of these away from me, then {#Emph}go away yourself. NarcissusChat24 Narcissus (Narcissus_0218): Get your {#Emph}own {#Prev}reflective pool and choice of complimentary gift! NarcissusChat25 Narcissus (Narcissus_0219): {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, still not a single dent in my stockpile of stuff to give away... NarcissusChat26 Narcissus (Narcissus_0220): Oh {#Emph}hey! Uh, {#Prev}since you're not a would-be suitor, feel free to {#Emph}cut in line. NarcissusChat27 Narcissus (Narcissus_0221): What's new, Laurel, same old same old? OK good seeing you, buh-bye! NarcissusChat28 Narcissus (Narcissus_0222): I know you're still kind of obsessed with me, but I get it, believe me I {#Emph}do. NarcissusChat29 Narcissus (Narcissus_0223): ...Look at the definition in the chin... the hue of the eyes... the curl of the lip... NarcissusChat30 Narcissus (Narcissus_0224): ...When our eyes meet like this, nothing else matters... and they meet like this {#Emph}a lot. NarcissusFieldsGreeting.VoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1172): Is that...? It's him... Narcissus! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2855): Narcissus, he came back... Melinoe (MelinoeField_1172_B): Narcissus...! NarcissusFirstMeeting Narcissus (Narcissus_0097): Well, would you look at that. Another would-be suitor journeyed far and wide, just to gaze upon me, not that I blame you... and get totally rejected! {#Emph}Fine. {#Prev}Ogle if you {#Emph}must. Melinoe (Melinoe_2047): You have the wrong idea. I'm not seeking a mate. I don't even know who you are. Narcissus (Narcissus_0003): What? I'm Narcissus, dummy! {#Emph}The {#Prev}Narcissus? And if you're no would-be suitor... then why don't you relieve me of one of these innumerable gifts the others offered in vain. {#Emph}Then beat it. NarcissusGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2053): As you've made no attempt to snap my head from my shoulders unlike many other things lurking about, I'm compelled to give you this. Just as a casual acquaintance, to be clear. Narcissus (Narcissus_0059): You'd give me such tokens of affection, full knowing I've already got a lot of them and, more importantly, am spoken for? Fine! Here's something to remember me by. NarcissusGift02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0060): {#Emph}Whoa{#Prev}, a {#Emph}present{#Prev}, you're so thoughtful and all that. Don't mean to be rude about it... just don't get the wrong idea, OK? Melinoe (Melinoe_2054): If I'm to keep taking from your copious supply of unused gifts, seems only fair that I give something in return from time to time. NarcissusGift03 Narcissus (Narcissus_0061): {#Emph}Oh! How thoughtful{#Prev}, and all that. You dummy, though! Don't you realize I'm just going to add this to the pile with the rest, so that some other would-be suitor ends up taking it? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0735): Sure, it's a gift! You get to decide what to do with it. Perhaps one of those other would-be suitors would enjoy it, if that's what you want. NarcissusGift04 Narcissus (Narcissus_0062): Oh whoa, for {#Emph}me{#Prev}, how thoughtful. Look: Try all you like, I can't requite your {#Emph}love. {#Prev}Thought I'd make myself about as clear as these waters, just in case you've got the wrong idea {#Emph}again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0736): Not every gesture needs to be interpreted as having some romantic overtones, does it? You've made your feelings unambiguous, and I appreciate that. {#Emph}As a friend. NarcissusGift05 Narcissus (Narcissus_0199): Hey, some Nectar, how thoughtful! I used to mean it when I said it, but... there comes a point you get so many gifts you don't know what to say anymore. But you stick to {#Emph}how thoughtful {#Prev}anyway... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2247): In my family, the act of giving is a social custom, and a simple show of courtesy if nothing else. It {#Emph}should {#Prev}be thoughtful, as you say. But it can also be reflexive I suppose. Narcissus (Narcissus_0200): {#Emph}Huh? NarcissusGift06 Narcissus (Narcissus_0201): You really want to hear me say it again, huh? All right {#Emph}fine! {#Prev}How thoughtful! {#Emph}How. Thoughtful!! {#Prev}That's my {#Emph}line! {#Prev}But you know what? I'm starting to think {#Emph}you {#Prev}might not be so thoughtful after all! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2248): Narcissus, please, it's not my wish to offend. You don't have to take the Nectar if you don't want it. I just noticed you don't seem to have much of it around! Have you even tried it? Narcissus (Narcissus_0202): What do you mean, tried it? Tried it {#Emph}how? {#Prev}All I've tried to do, Laurel, is look into these longing eyes in {#Emph}peace. {#Prev}Though I'll accept your Nectar, just this once, for the last time, OK? NarcissusGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3519): I know you said that you're not interested in Nectar anymore, but I did want to give you {#Emph}this. {#Prev}To our continued friendship, and for all you've done for me these many nights! Narcissus (Narcissus_0307): This is Ambrosia, {#Emph}whoa... {#Prev}this stuff is for the gods, not river spirits, no matter how uncommonly attractive they may be! What's the {#Emph}catch? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3520): The only {#Emph}catch {#Prev}is that you have to stop misreading my intentions whenever I occasionally give you things. Far less often than you give me things, I might add! Narcissus (Narcissus_0308): Well I don't know... but having given it some extra thought, I will accept. But just this once, OK? Maybe I'll share this... with {#Emph}me. NarcissusGrantsReward01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0259): Don't know how to thank you for the water-cleaning thing. So crisp and {#Emph}clear! {#Prev}I can see every perfect feature on this face. You've got a real future in water sanitation! Melinoe (MelinoeField_1986): Perhaps the improved image quality will help you start to notice details other than yourself. The effect of the purification should last longer if you do. Narcissus (Narcissus_0192): What I'm trying to say is, I've decided to give to you the greatest gift of all that I've received. So here's something from my {#Emph}private reserve! NarcissusLowHealth01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0094): Uh {#Emph}whoa {#Prev}what's wrong with you? Coming in here like that. You don't need {#Emph}me{#Prev}, dummy. You need a doctor, or {#Emph}healer{#Prev}, or something. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1162): Yes, well, I've found those somewhat difficult to locate around here. Though on the flip side, no shortage of fishlike monstrosities determined to cut me a set of gills. Narcissus (Narcissus_0095): Yeah that's what they all say. Look, there's probably a fountain or something somewhere around here. Wash up, come back, we'll {#Emph}talk. NarcissusLowHealth02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0096): {#Emph}Whew, {#Prev}you are never gonna find a mate looking all scratched up like that, bleeding everywhere. Might have something you could use to patch yourself up, if it'll make you go away. NarcissusSadChat01 Narcissus (Narcissus_0209): I still can't see myself. Am I still here? Are {#Emph}any {#Prev}of us here? Man... NarcissusSadChat02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0210): {#Emph}Ugh{#Prev}, why did this have to happen to me? To {#Emph}us? {#Prev}It isn't {#Emph}fair! NarcissusSadChat03 Narcissus (Narcissus_0211): Please leave me to my sorrow. But take a complimentary gift on your way out! NarcissusSadChat04 Narcissus (Narcissus_0212): Man... this is the worst thing that's ever happened to {#Emph}anyone... NarcissusSadChat05 Narcissus (Narcissus_0213): Still can't see anything in here... but if I {#Emph}squint, or tilt my head a certain way... NarcissusSadChat06 Narcissus (Narcissus_0214): I'm kind of in a crisis here, so just help yourself, and {#Emph}go. NarcissusWithEcho01 Echo (Echo_0054): Narcissus! {#Echo1}Narcissus! {#Prev}{#Echo2}Narcissus! Narcissus (Narcissus_0078): Oh hey, {#Emph}um{#Prev}, Echo and I, we were just catching up a bit, I guess. It's been a while! Forgot how much I loved the Fields! Isn't this great? Echo (Echo_0055): Isn't this great? {#Echo1}Isn't this great? {#Prev}{#Echo2}Isn't this great? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1173): I'm pleased to see you here, the both of you! The energy feels completely different than usual — in a good way! Echo, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}I hope that everything's OK? Echo (Echo_0056): Everything's OK? {#Echo1}Everything's OK! {#Prev}{#Echo2} Everything's OK. NarcissusWithEcho02 Narcissus (Narcissus_0242): ...So anyways, I guess what I am trying to say is, {#Emph}um... {#Prev}I, I didn't mean for you to end up here, you know? But I get that you did! {#Emph}Ungh! {#Prev}I don't want you to hate me. Echo (Echo_0098): Don't want you to hate me... {#Echo1}to hate me... {#Prev}{#Echo2}hate me... Narcissus (Narcissus_0243): But I {#Emph}don't {#Prev}hate you! You're a great conversationalist, great listener — which I don't mean romantically, just to be clear — but just... oh man. I'm a dummy... and I'm sorry too, OK? Echo (Echo_0099): OK... {#Echo1}I'm sorry, too... {#Prev}{#Echo2}OK, I'm sorry, too. Narcissus (Narcissus_0244): Oh you don't have to say that! But I'm glad you feel the same way. So like maybe... we can still be friends? Echo (Echo_0100): We can still be friends...? {#Echo1}Still be friends...? {#Prev}{#Echo2}Be friends... Narcissus (Narcissus_0245): {#Emph}Nice! {#Prev}And by the way I like this bridge! Echo (Echo_0101): I like this bridge... {#Echo2}this bridge... {#Prev}{#Echo3}this bridge. NarcissusWithEcho03 Narcissus (Narcissus_0285): Looks like you've put down roots here, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}Pretty nice spot! The River Styx right over there, the rustle of the wheat... Echo (Echo_0158): Rustle of the wheat... {#Echo1}rustle of the wheat... {#Prev}{#Echo2}rustle of the wheat... Narcissus (Narcissus_0286): {#Emph}Yeah{#Prev}, kind of like back when we were up top! The trees, the flowers, and all that. You ever miss those times? Echo (Echo_0159): Ever miss those times? {#Echo1}Miss those times? {#Prev}{#Echo2}Miss those times? Narcissus (Narcissus_0287): Well personally not so much, I guess. I mean, look at all this! I'd say we have it pretty good! Echo (Echo_0160): We have it pretty good! {#Echo1}Pretty good! {#Prev}{#Echo2}Pretty good! NemesisAboutArtemis01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1559): Ran into Artemis out there, at long last. Did she pass through and say hello at least? Nemesis (Nemesis_0069): No, she didn't. So she's been skulking around in these woods? Thought she was busy rallying your aunts and uncles for you. Wait, you couldn't go the distance even with {#Emph}her {#Prev}help? Melinoe (Melinoe_1560): It's not that simple...! NemesisAboutArtemis02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2242): Have you met Artemis out there? I suppose it may be worth repeatedly disobeying orders for the chance to see her. Nemesis (Nemesis_0143): What would you know of it. You really think I'm sneaking out into those woods just to fool around? Melinoe (Melinoe_2243): Is everything all right between the two of you, at least? Nemesis (Nemesis_0144): It's fine. NemesisAboutArtemisSinging01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0342): Singing, {#Emph}eugh. {#Prev}The goddess of the hunt apparently is looking for her brother's job. Surprised you're not still over there yourself. Something else you could be practicing. Melinoe (Melinoe_4460): It may seem frivolous though we don't sing merely for lack of things to do here, Nemesis. It has a cleansing quality. Nemesis (Nemesis_0343): Oh, right. Artemis told me all about what you mean when you talk about cleansing. Least I'm just about out of earshot over here. Melinoe (Melinoe_4461): We'll have to sing louder for you. NemesisAboutCauldron01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0088): Been hunched over that cauldron so much, least your craft is finally doing something around here. So much toiling with no results... Melinoe (Melinoe_0691): Our craft is typically about the self, and such results tend not to be immediate. Though, I appreciate you noticing. Nemesis (Nemesis_0089): Yeah, well... NemesisAboutChaos01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0258): So you've been chatting it up with Chaos, of all beings... trying to get the oldest force in the world to take sides? A fundamentally {#Emph}impartial {#Prev}force. Smart. Melinoe (Melinoe_3228): Sounds like you've been chatting it up yourself! I saw you plunge into a Chaos Gate, as though you knew exactly where it led. Not your first time? Nemesis (Nemesis_0259): Not your business. Just don't go thinking Chaos is going to help {#Emph}you {#Prev}and no one else. Seeing as that wouldn't be fair. Melinoe (Melinoe_3229): I suppose not. NemesisAboutCharon01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2234): Strictly business between you and Lord Charon, isn't it? Never seen you speak except about his wares. At least you're providing him with Gold. Nemesis (Nemesis_0133): You might technically have a brother, but you don't know what it's like having one around. Charon doesn't like to talk; I respect that. Melinoe (Melinoe_2235): Truly? He never seems to mind speaking with me, in his way. Nemesis (Nemesis_0134): Maybe it's 'cause you're {#Emph}special. NemesisAboutChronosBossFights01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0252): Ought to admit it when I'm wrong. Never thought you'd get to Chronos in the first place, before I did anyway. Much less beat him down, repeatedly. So — I was wrong. Sorry. Melinoe (Melinoe_3225): Nemesis, I want you to know it was astonishing to hear those words coming from you just now. It seems we're each more than capable of surprising the other. But mainly... thank you. Nemesis (Nemesis_0253): No need. Fair is fair. Had my chances to catch up with you, but couldn't get through all the pitfalls in the way. Might be I could have taken Chronos, too. But now I'm not so sure. Melinoe (Melinoe_3226): Now don't lose heart! There's much left to be done, and we need all your strength and vigilance. We're the Unseen; together we prevail, or we fail. Nemesis (Nemesis_0254): Couldn't resist giving one of your pep talks, huh. Melinoe (Melinoe_3227): ...No. NemesisAboutChronosBossL01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0224): Can't believe you got to Chronos before me. Knew you stood no chance against him, but... didn't think you'd get there at all anytime soon. Melinoe (Melinoe_3098): Is that supposed to be some sort of compliment? Or an apology, perhaps? Nemesis (Nemesis_0225): No. NemesisAboutChronosBossL01_B Nemesis (Nemesis_0224): Can't believe you got to Chronos before me. Knew you stood no chance against him, but... didn't think you'd get there at all anytime soon. Melinoe (Melinoe_3098): Is that supposed to be some sort of compliment? Or an apology, perhaps? Nemesis (Nemesis_0225): No. NemesisAboutChronosBossL02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0249): They're saying you got all the way to Tartarus before. How far'd you get? Make it all the way back to your {#Emph}rightful home? Melinoe (Melinoe_3223): If you're referring to the House of Hades, then yes, I did make it there. Though you could best describe it as the House of {#Emph}Chronos{#Prev}, at this point. He was waiting within, just as expected, and... was strong, just as expected, too. Nemesis (Nemesis_0250): {#Emph}Too {#Prev}strong, you mean. Well, can't fault you for trying. So what's the plan now, keep throwing yourself at him till you're totally demoralized? If that hasn't happened already? Melinoe (Melinoe_3224): The task remains the same. Nemesis (Nemesis_0251): Fair enough! NemesisAboutChronosBossW01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0226): Come here to gloat, {#Emph}huh. I beat him! I beat the Titan! {#Prev}Well, hardly matters. He's still alive, you realize, don't you? Melinoe (Melinoe_2965): I wasn't coming here to gloat, and yes, I realize. But this is still a step. If I could vanquish Chronos once, I can do it again. And one of these nights... he's not going to come back. Nemesis (Nemesis_0227): Yeah. 'Cause one of these nights, I'll get my hands on him myself. Melinoe (Melinoe_2966): Then you can do the gloating, right? NemesisAboutChronosNightmare01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1570): Had one of my dreams, Nem. Your mother was there, and my father. He showed concern for her, she... was under the Titan's spell. Nemesis (Nemesis_0090): Mother Nyx made a mistake entrusting Hades with so much of the Underworld. This realm was never his by right, not till the Fates decided otherwise. Mother worked hard. They were probably just trying to send her help. Melinoe (Melinoe_0621): You're saying the Fates granted my father authority over the realm of the dead just to give Nyx a hand with all her responsibilities? Nemesis (Nemesis_0091): That's right. Melinoe (Melinoe_0622): Huh. NemesisAboutChronosNightmare02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0623): Nemesis, about the dream I had... Chronos, he... demanded that my father tell him where the Fates reside. Nemesis (Nemesis_0092): Smart. Mother Nyx never would have told him. The Fates may be my sisters but even I have no idea where they are. Long as they're hidden, no one can mess with their designs. Melinoe (Melinoe_1571): You don't sound especially concerned that Chronos apparently found the three weavers of destiny and may be forcing their plans for the future. Nemesis (Nemesis_0093): {#Emph}Really? {#Prev}I ever give you the impression I had any hope this would end well? Melinoe (Melinoe_1572): How could he have found them? Wouldn't the Fates see the threat coming? Nemesis (Nemesis_0094): They're always weaving. That means even they know only so much in advance. Chronos is Time. {#Emph}Time {#Prev}moves faster than expected. NemesisAboutChronosNightmare02_B Melinoe (Melinoe_0623): Nemesis, about the dream I had... Chronos, he... demanded that my father tell him where the Fates reside. Nemesis (Nemesis_0092): Smart. Mother Nyx never would have told him. The Fates may be my sisters but even I have no idea where they are. Long as they're hidden, no one can mess with their designs. Melinoe (Melinoe_5278): You don't sound especially concerned that Chronos somehow found the three weavers of destiny and cast them into exile. And can no longer find them. Nemesis (Nemesis_0093): {#Emph}Really? {#Prev}I ever give you the impression I had any hope this would end well? Melinoe (Melinoe_5279): How did he do it...? Wouldn't the Fates see the threat coming? Nemesis (Nemesis_0094): They're always weaving. That means even they know only so much in advance. Chronos is Time. {#Emph}Time {#Prev}moves faster than expected. NemesisAboutCombatFailure01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0131): Got careless. All because of a little wager. You want to show me up that bad? Melinoe (Melinoe_2233): I could ask you the same thing. What are you doing back already? You couldn't have gone much farther. Nemesis (Nemesis_0132): Yeah. I got careless, too... NemesisAboutDefeatingHecate01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0063): You passed her little test that time. Must have felt so good beating her ass to the ground. Don't get to spar with her, so I can only imagine. Melinoe (Melinoe_1558): We're not just sparring. You don't know our craft. Nemesis (Nemesis_0064): I know I could take her... NemesisAboutEris01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0228): Eris is back. What did you do? Did you summon her? I saw you talking. Melinoe (Melinoe_3099): You're not remotely pleased to see your sister again? I don't have any more control over her than you do. Headmistress still is giving her the silent treatment, though. Nemesis (Nemesis_0229): Ideally, Eris should be somewhere very far from here. Good thing this place is impossible to find, otherwise I'd half expect she would have led Chronos straight to us by now. Melinoe (Melinoe_3100): You truly think a daughter of Nyx would betray us? I know Eris is a different sort, but still. Nemesis (Nemesis_0230): Your father is a son of Chronos. How'd {#Emph}they {#Prev}get on? Melinoe (Melinoe_3101): ...That's fair. NemesisAboutErisFight01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3102): Eris stands against us. Just as I neared my destination on the surface, she was there. Let the Adamant Rail do much of the talking. Nemesis (Nemesis_0231): Imagine my surprise. So what to do? Can't kick her out, since {#Emph}all children of Nyx are welcome here{#Prev}, whosever bright idea that was. Maybe give her some {#Emph}more {#Prev}second chances? Melinoe (Melinoe_3103): You've made your point. NemesisAboutErisFight02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3220): Isn't there something you can do to talk some sense into Eris? Get her out of my blasted way to Olympus. Or failing that, pin her in an arm bar or leg lock, perhaps? Nemesis (Nemesis_0247): Won't waste my time with her at all, though the arm bar or leg lock do have a certain appeal. Not seen her flying through the Underworld lately, have you. Melinoe (Melinoe_3221): Not other than these Crossroads. Though what's your point, that I should stay out of her way as well as focus solely on Chronos below? It's not so simple for me anymore. Nemesis (Nemesis_0248): Didn't say it was. But if you don't want to deal with {#Emph}Eris{#Prev}, you could always stick to your main objective. Or just leave it to {#Emph}me{#Prev}, like you should have in the first place. Melinoe (Melinoe_3222): Duly noted. NemesisAboutErisFightW01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0244): Showed Eris didn't you. Could hear her crying practically from here. Been far too long since last I kicked her ass myself. At least {#Emph}somebody{#Prev}'s picked up the slack. Melinoe (Melinoe_3218): Perhaps all of those savage fights between you two contributed to her disagreeable nature. Or yours, for that matter. Unless you're certain neither one of you has changed a bit, in which case, what was all the fighting even for? Nemesis (Nemesis_0245): You've met her. She always liked picking fights. And you've met {#Emph}me. {#Prev}I've never liked backing down from them. As for you, go learn to take a compliment next time. Melinoe (Melinoe_3219): ...I must have missed it. Nemesis (Nemesis_0246): Sure did. NemesisAboutErisRelationship01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0334): What's with you and Eris, anyway? Thought you'd have the sense to stay away from her, least when you have a choice. Melinoe (Melinoe_4454): I may lack proper judgment when it comes to choosing comrades, Nemesis. She and I have little in common, but... she makes it difficult to be completely rational. Nemesis (Nemesis_0335): Well, you'll get what's coming to you when it comes to her. Or me, for that matter but in a different way. Maybe that's the appeal. Anyway, just don't go bringing her around. Melinoe (Melinoe_4455): Wasn't planning on it. NemesisAboutEvil01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1564): Nemesis, for all the time you used to spend on the surface... surely there was something there that made it worth your while? Nemesis (Nemesis_0072): Oh, {#Emph}there was. {#Prev}Mortals like to reach beyond their means, thinking they're just like us. I'd sniff them out, and put them back in their place. Melinoe (Melinoe_1565): Put them back in their place... by punishing them in some inventive fashion, I suppose? Nemesis (Nemesis_0073): That's right. We all should get what we deserve, no more, no less. Melinoe (Melinoe_0608): But don't mortals already have ways to ensure justice is served, like my father did? Nemesis (Nemesis_0074): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}Sure they do. NemesisAboutEvil02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0680): Hey. You miss being up there, don't you? Among the mortals and all that. Nemesis (Nemesis_0075): You know, mortals have a word for deliberate cruelty or callous negligence: They call it evil. I could always catch wind of it. I'd go to the source. And whoever it was, I'd make them pay. Melinoe (Melinoe_1566): But now you're stuck here, and the evil goes unchecked... Nemesis (Nemesis_0076): A lot of it, I'm sure. NemesisAboutFamily01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0052): Another failed attempt. About ready to give in? You don't have the fire. This isn't personal enough for you. Melinoe (Melinoe_1550): Isn't {#Emph}personal? {#Prev}You don't see my mother around, either, do you, Nem? Nor my father, nor my brother. Chronos took them all! Nemesis (Nemesis_0053): I lost more than my mother, too. And I {#Emph}knew {#Prev}mine. What's yours to {#Emph}you? {#Prev}All you ever did was fall out of her womb. Melinoe (Melinoe_1551): Silence. NemesisAboutFamily02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0602): What you said to me before, about my mother. That was very cruel. Nemesis (Nemesis_0054): {#Emph}Hm{#Prev}. Fair enough. Can't kill each other here, but we can use our words. If we were fighting for real I wouldn't have held back, either. Melinoe (Melinoe_0603): I figured not. NemesisAboutFamily03 Nemesis (Nemesis_0412): How were they, anyway? Your family. Persephone the Queen, Prince Zagreus, whoever else. He doesn't want this blade back yet, does he? Melinoe (Melinoe_5251): He hasn't mentioned it, he's... I don't know, I like him quite a bit. Perhaps since I haven't been around him for aeons as with siblings from certain other families I've met. And my mother and father, they're... all that I imagined, I suppose. Nemesis (Nemesis_0413): Right. Probably because your imagination's filling in a lot of blanks. But, least you found them, and it's off to a good start. Not to be taken for granted. Melinoe (Melinoe_5252): Not at all. NemesisAboutFates01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0034): They're not going to help you, you know. The Fates, I mean. They don't take pity on whoever asks. If anything, you'll make things even worse. Melinoe (Melinoe_1541): Maybe you just don't give your sisters enough credit. If they once aided my brother, then there has to be a chance they'll aid us. They have a stake in this, too. Nemesis (Nemesis_0035): What, you mean their {#Emph}family? {#Prev}They couldn't care less. Too busy messing with everybody's lives, making it look like an accident. Melinoe (Melinoe_1542): You mustn't speak of them that way. NemesisAboutFieldMeeting01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0126): Back on your feet again there, Princess? All's well in the Crossroads, nothing to report. Melinoe (Melinoe_2229): It's fortunate we have you vigilantly keeping watch here, Nemesis...! Oh come on, drop the act. What happened, when did you return? Nemesis (Nemesis_0127): Don't know what you're talking about, and it's not your business anyway. Fates help you on your {#Emph}task. Melinoe (Melinoe_2230): Not quite as easy as you imagined, is it? To think that the embodiment of Retribution could be so arrogant. Nemesis (Nemesis_0128): Shut up. NemesisAboutFieldMeeting02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2231): Does Headmistress know yet of your little excursions? Not much escapes her notice, last I checked. Nemesis (Nemesis_0129): Strongly advise you mind your own responsibilities. Hecate doesn't control me, and {#Emph}you {#Prev}should show a little gratitude. Melinoe (Melinoe_2232): For what, endangering us all? I didn't ask for your assistance, Nemesis. Nemesis (Nemesis_0130): Because you're weak. NemesisAboutFieldMeeting03 Melinoe (Melinoe_3230): The first few times I saw you out there, I figured you were just venting your anger. But you keep heading out night after night. You're determined, but you're going to get caught. Nemesis (Nemesis_0260): Not if no one says anything. Besides, Hecate likely already knows. She isn't dense. Just letting me learn whatever she thinks I stand to learn the hard way. Works out for both of us. Melinoe (Melinoe_3231): Fine. We're both learning a lot I think. But I don't intend to let up on any of my responsibilities, just because you're trying to achieve what I've been tasked to do. Nemesis (Nemesis_0261): Somebody's got to do it. NemesisAboutGoldenAge01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0613): Nem. You care so much for mortal justice. Where's your passion for ours? Chronos took {#Emph}everything {#Prev}from us! You said we all should get what we deserve, right? Nemesis (Nemesis_0083): {#Emph}Khh. {#Prev}Well, that's the thing. If you knew anything about mortals, they had it better once. When Chronos ruled. Called it the {#Emph}Golden Age. Melinoe (Melinoe_2749): How splendid that must have been for them! If only Chronos could have been so generous with his sons and foster-children. You think him being somewhat nice to some mortals makes up for what he did? Nemesis (Nemesis_0084): No. Look. What if... what if this {#Emph}is {#Prev}what we deserve? Melinoe (Melinoe_0615): We deserve better than this, Nemesis. Living in shadows. Denied our families. Don't you want justice for {#Emph}them? Nemesis (Nemesis_0085): {#Emph}Hah. Melinoe (Melinoe_0616): Fine. NemesisAboutHecate01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1552): So, just how much trouble are you in for mouthing off to Headmistress, Nem? That was utterly disrespectful, even for you. Nemesis (Nemesis_0057): {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}Well, looks like I've got a lot more guard duty ahead of me. But it was worth it. Help balance out you sucking up to her all the time. Melinoe (Melinoe_1553): It figures you have no ability to distinguish between basic courtesy, and what you call sucking up. Nemesis (Nemesis_0058): You're just a tool to her, you know. NemesisAboutHecate02 Melinoe (Melinoe_1554): Was it always like this, between you and Headmistress? I used to think it was {#Emph}me {#Prev}you hated most of all. Nemesis (Nemesis_0059): You've always been naive, Princess. As for Hecate, I liked her better before she decided {#Emph}this {#Prev}right here was the best use of my talents. Melinoe (Melinoe_1555): She made that decision long ago. So you're going to resent her forever? Or are you going to do something about it? Nemesis (Nemesis_0060): I {#Emph}am {#Prev}doing something about it! I'm honoring my vow to Mother Nyx. Else I'd be long gone, much to your disappointment, I'm sure. Melinoe (Melinoe_1556): I would be very disappointed, yes. NemesisAboutHecateKidnapped01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5008): Do you know Headmistress is gone? Chronos took her right before my eyes! If you were on watch like you ought have been, she... {#Emph}augh! Nemesis (Nemesis_0403): What are you talking about, {#Emph}Chronos took her. {#Prev}Saw her just the other night. Though, where is she...? Melinoe (Melinoe_5009): {#Emph}I just said! {#Prev}She's probably there in the House somewhere with the rest, but I... I've not been able to locate her yet. How could this happen, what could we have done? Nemesis (Nemesis_0404): You're serious. Wait, why didn't you {#Emph}do {#Prev}something about it if you saw the whole thing? {#Emph}I {#Prev}wasn't even there! Melinoe (Melinoe_5010): I was too late! What's your excuse? You could have at least identified the possibility of such a threat! Nemesis (Nemesis_0405): Not even all-seeing Selene saw it coming, how could {#Emph}I? {#Prev}Although... keep this quiet. Get her back, or I will. Melinoe (Melinoe_5011): {#Emph}I {#Prev}will. NemesisAboutHypnos01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0065): Been talking to Hypnos again? He can't hear you, you know. Kind of what happens when somebody's fast asleep. Melinoe (Melinoe_0686): Sleep is not as simple as you make it out to be. I think he can sense my words and intentions. Nemesis (Nemesis_0066): Sensing words and intentions, yeah... sounds exactly like the Hypnos I knew. NemesisAboutHypnosWakeUp01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0455): Can't believe it! You finally woke Hypnos up, and {#Emph}I {#Prev}slept through the whole thing? He everything you dreamed of? Melinoe (Melinoe_5276): Well, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}his manner wasn't what I expected, and he was not especially appreciative. Although I too am prone to moodiness after sleeping in. Then, he left in a hurry... Nemesis (Nemesis_0456): Tough break I guess! Always thought he really was your type. Well if you do end up working in your father's House, you'll meet again. For now, least we don't have to listen to him snoring {#Emph}every single night. Melinoe (Melinoe_5277): I do suppose there's that... NemesisAboutKeepsake01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0344): Getting some use out of that Evil Eye. Anything or anyone out there force you to call it a night early, next night you go do the same to them. Old tradition, but it works. Melinoe (Melinoe_4462): Appreciate the gift. The Eye has certainly been instrumental in some cases where I got the better of my foes. Though whether I'm delivering retribution or merely taking vengeance, I'm not always sure. Nemesis (Nemesis_0345): Sorting out each act of vengeance does take a while. But don't sweat the technicalities too much. You're clear. Melinoe (Melinoe_4463): Every act of vengeance gets sorted out? Nemesis (Nemesis_0346): They're supposed to be. NemesisAboutLosingToHecate01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0061): Wondered why Hecate took off all of a sudden. Was just to get in your way! Send you crying home. Guess she doesn't want you to succeed. Melinoe (Melinoe_1557): She expects me to be prepared for whatever lies ahead. Nemesis (Nemesis_0062): You're such a pushover sometimes. NemesisAboutMoros01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0036): Can't believe sucking up to the Fates actually worked. That big scroll over there... that's really from them? Melinoe (Melinoe_1543): Personally delivered by Lord Moros, no less. He seemed a little pressed for time, so we didn't get to talk much. Are the two of you close? Nemesis (Nemesis_0037): We're children of Nyx; none of us are close. But we crossed paths. When certain mortals get what they deserve, it involves us both. Melinoe (Melinoe_1544): I can only imagine. NemesisAboutMoros02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0038): Never thought I'd see Moros here of all places. But then again, it only makes sense Doom would come to the Crossroads sooner or later. Melinoe (Melinoe_1545): You make it sound like it's a {#Emph}bad {#Prev}thing. All Nyx's kin are welcome here. Headmistress gave her word. Nemesis (Nemesis_0039): Whatever. Guess I better go say hello... NemesisAboutMorosRelationship01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0336): Makes sense you and Doom would get along. First I figured he'd put you off like everybody else, but you both like following orders so much. Means you have a lot in common. Melinoe (Melinoe_4456): I don't believe we've had a single conversation about how much we love following orders, though we do get on, I think. It doesn't trouble you, does it? You'd tell me if it did. Nemesis (Nemesis_0337): I'd tell you if it did. Moros never was a happy sort, not that any of us really are; but when he's better off, it probably bodes well for everyone else. Given his connections and all. Melinoe (Melinoe_4457): Has he seemed happier to you? Nemesis (Nemesis_0338): Maybe just me. NemesisAboutNarcissus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2238): Why all the rancor toward Narcissus, by the way? I see how he could be a little irritating, but he doesn't seem all that bad. Nemesis (Nemesis_0140): Should have seen what he did to this poor Nymph. Absolutely broke her heart. Didn't even notice, or care. Melinoe (Melinoe_2239): Didn't take you for the sentimental type. I thought you concerned yourself with worse than lovers' quarrels. Nemesis (Nemesis_0141): Narcissus cared only for himself, not for anyone around him. Had to make an example of him. He wound up madly in love. With his own reflection. Till the day he died. Melinoe (Melinoe_2240): So now he's a Shade in the Underworld. And still staring longingly into his own eyes. Nemesis (Nemesis_0142): Hey, you're the witch, not me. You know how it is with curses. Melinoe (Melinoe_2241): They're easily misused. NemesisAboutNarcissus02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3232): Hey, about Narcissus. I won't undo the curse you put on him, even if I could. He seems to be rather content, and besides... I can tell you truly believe he deserved it. Only problem is, that curse did nothing to aid Echo in her plight. Nemesis (Nemesis_0267): Echo... that was the Nymph who put Narcissus on my list of things to do. You're telling me getting divine retribution with no strings attached wasn't enough to put her mind at peace? Melinoe (Melinoe_3233): Correct. You evened the score between them, though you didn't set things right for either one. They had to set things right for themselves. Nemesis (Nemesis_0268): With your help and encouragement, I guess? {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, same difference to me long as neither one ends up much better off. Sounds like you lectured both of them, so I'm sure it's close. Melinoe (Melinoe_3234): So you don't care how they end up, as long as they're even. Nemesis (Nemesis_0269): You're catching on. NemesisAboutNectar01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0078): That Nectar you've been passing around? Don't see why you bother. Not everybody deserves it, anyhow. Melinoe (Melinoe_0611): {#Emph}Deserves? {#Prev}And I suppose you think {#Emph}you're {#Prev}fit to be the judge of that? Nemesis (Nemesis_0079): Yeah. Who do you think I {#Emph}am? {#Prev}If everybody just magickally got what they deserved, I'd have no reason to exist. Melinoe (Melinoe_0612): That's awful... Nemesis (Nemesis_0080): That's life. NemesisAboutNectar02 Melinoe (Melinoe_1573): I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, with the Nectar from before. It's just, I've always looked up to you, and... I'm doing the best I can. Nemesis (Nemesis_0100): Don't sweat it. Had myself a little drink the other night, and it didn't poison me as far as I know. So we're clear. Melinoe (Melinoe_1574): Want any more? Nemesis (Nemesis_0101): Eh... NemesisAboutNyx01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5260): Has anyone ever told you you look a bit like your mother, Nemesis? Having met her I can see the resemblance. In fact, when I first saw her, I... well, anyway. Nemesis (Nemesis_0425): No, finish that thought. When you first saw her, you what? Melinoe (Melinoe_5261): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, when I first saw her, I... look, I was taken aback by her appearance! In a positive way. She was like if you wore an elegant gown, and gave your brow muscles a rest. Nemesis (Nemesis_0426): Was your idea of a compliment. Nobody wants to look like their mother. Don't look anything like mine anyway. Except maybe the hair. Melinoe (Melinoe_5262): Lady Demeter said I look just like my mother, which I thought was very kind of her! Queen Persephone is striking. Nemesis (Nemesis_0427): Think she and Nyx get on as well as we do? Melinoe (Melinoe_5263): They couldn't possibly. NemesisAboutNyx02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0423): Ran into Nyx last night. So whenever she's had her fill of being around Hades and Persephone, she goes off to Chaos for a little quiet time. I can see the appeal. Melinoe (Melinoe_5258): She's not doing it to get away from my parents! With all that the Underworld's gone through, don't you think Night and Chaos might have a lot to discuss? Nemesis (Nemesis_0424): Sure. Trying to imagine what they even talk about. {#Emph}It continues to be very dark here, Chaos. Yes, it does, Nyx. Melinoe (Melinoe_5259): {#Emph} {#Prev}Sorry. NemesisAboutNyxRescue01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5255): How has it been having your mother back? I'm still growing accustomed to the part where my own birthmother is in my life, even if I may not see her every night. Nemesis (Nemesis_0421): Doubt Mother Nyx will be coming around much either. Never did. But she was never really gone. Night's been around since before Time. Nobody messes with her. Melinoe (Melinoe_5256): Speaking of that, sounds like you have free rein to dole out Retribution once again, not that you weren't doling it out before. No need to keep pursuing Chronos now! Nemesis (Nemesis_0422): Oh I'm not finished there. Melinoe (Melinoe_5257): Somehow I'm not surprised! NemesisAboutOdysseus01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0137): Next time you got something to say about me, you come say it to my face. Know you witches would much rather sneak around, though. Melinoe (Melinoe_2236): What are you even talking about? I think you're being accusatory and abrasive. There! I said {#Emph}that {#Prev}to your face. Nemesis (Nemesis_0138): Odysseus tried giving me one of his talks. Telling me you didn't go complaining to him? Melinoe (Melinoe_2237): He was concerned with how we're getting on. You're not exactly being subtle, and he's quite perceptive in case you hadn't noticed. Nemesis (Nemesis_0139): Be. Quiet. NemesisAboutPrometheus01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0262): Got yet another Titan up against us, huh? {#Emph}Prometheus! {#Prev}One of the smart ones, so they say. And now, an enemy. Could have been on our side had your family not... you know. Melinoe (Melinoe_3604): Yes, the whole {#Emph}chain-him-to-a-mountain-so-an-eagle-could- eat-his-regenerating-liver-for-aeons {#Prev}thing. Not one of the proudest moments on Olympus, I have to imagine. Nemesis (Nemesis_0263): Come ask me whether he deserves his vengeance if ever you want to feel any worse about that whole mess. Melinoe (Melinoe_3605): Watch with the treason, Nem. NemesisAboutQuestLog01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0042): Let me guess. The Fates have nothing but a bunch of busywork laid out for you. No grand revelations, just odd jobs. Melinoe (Melinoe_1546): I know better than to question their designs. A minor prophecy fulfilled may result in a greater one coming to pass. Nemesis (Nemesis_0043): Just keep telling yourself that. NemesisAboutRelationship01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4447): When we were together out there, it seems almost like a dream. Especially since it was rather unlike either one of us to have set all our responsibilities aside that way... Nemesis (Nemesis_0327): You're saying you regret it, fine; I don't. Not like we've made a habit of it, and besides... got you out of my head, just as I wanted. Melinoe (Melinoe_4448): You did? That isn't how it worked for me at all. I've only thought about you {#Emph}more {#Prev}since then. And I do {#Emph}not {#Prev}regret it! Nemesis (Nemesis_0328): No? Well, that's Retribution for you. Some win, some lose, nobody gets it all. Though maybe over time, we can... even things out. Shouldn't be one-sided between us. Melinoe (Melinoe_4449): I'll hold you to that. Nemesis (Nemesis_0329): Same. NemesisAboutRelationship01_B Melinoe (Melinoe_4450): When we were together out there, Nem... I wanted to make sure you weren't angry with me. No more than usual at least. You said I was distracting you and that's not what I want. Nemesis (Nemesis_0330): I know, it's fine, we're good. Unless you keep making too big a deal. I think we get each other now, and we both like it when we're sure. Anyway, be seeing you out there. Melinoe (Melinoe_4451): Be seeing you. NemesisAboutRelationship02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0331): When did it start. You couldn't even stand looking at me. Couldn't stand your scrawny ass either. Then something happened. Trying to pinpoint it. Melinoe (Melinoe_4452): My feelings for you gradually strengthened over time. The anger you brought out in me... I started to like it. I just never thought you would reciprocate. Nemesis (Nemesis_0332): Took you for a showoff. Never realized how strong you are, and not just physically. And you don't overdo it anymore. Melinoe (Melinoe_4453): That was a compliment. Nemesis (Nemesis_0333): Yeah. NemesisAboutRelationship03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4471): You know I can read you sometimes, Nem, and something's wrong, so what is it? If you don't mind telling me... Nemesis (Nemesis_0397): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, it's... look, I've not been close with anyone for very long. Just how it goes. So, been wondering where things are going with us, and not liking where it leads. Melinoe (Melinoe_4472): You truly think we're on some fixed path? The Fates may be your sisters but you needn't {#Emph}all {#Prev}be caught up in self-fulfilling prophecies. Nemesis (Nemesis_0398): No, but... problem I'm having is I'm starting to like being around you more than not. If it keeps on that way, I'll be... Melinoe (Melinoe_4473): ...I know. Too much of a good thing. But, must we concern ourselves about the future constantly? We could just appreciate being together when we can. No pressure. Nemesis (Nemesis_0399): ...No pressure, huh... maybe you're right. Could always find a way to balance it out without messing it up. Melinoe (Melinoe_4474): A worthwhile pursuit. NemesisAboutSurface01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1561): ...How long has it been since you've visited the surface? Nemesis (Nemesis_0070): Too long. Cooped up here now in case you hadn't noticed. But, it's a lost cause anyway. Why do you ask? Melinoe (Melinoe_1562): Hermes requested that I pay a visit when I can. Wanted to know what to expect. Nemesis (Nemesis_0071): It's like I said. The dead are out and about up there thanks to our Titan friend. You'll feel right at home. Melinoe (Melinoe_1563): Sounds great. NemesisAboutSurface01_B Melinoe (Melinoe_1561): ...How long has it been since you've visited the surface? Nemesis (Nemesis_0070): Too long. Cooped up here now in case you hadn't noticed. But, it's a lost cause anyway. Why do you ask? Melinoe (Melinoe_3211): Hermes requested that I pay a visit when I can. Figured I should ask if you had any notes. Nemesis (Nemesis_0071): It's like I said. The dead are out and about up there thanks to our Titan friend. You'll feel right at home. Melinoe (Melinoe_1563): Sounds great. NemesisAboutSurface02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0166): You really went up there. They could have called for somebody with experience, but I guess I don't deserve it as much as I thought. Melinoe (Melinoe_1575): I'm needed there as part of my task. Though, they must miss you on the surface. So much suffering... Nemesis (Nemesis_0167): Justice doesn't matter anymore. The mortals had it coming. Maybe we all did. Melinoe (Melinoe_1576): Don't say that... NemesisAboutSurface03 Nemesis (Nemesis_0168): You keep heading up when you ought to be heading down, toward your objective. Forget about the mountain. Not your fight. Melinoe (Melinoe_0618): My family on Olympus is under assault by the legions of Chronos, and it's not my fight? Nemesis (Nemesis_0169): No. He's down below, all comfy on your father's throne. And you don't have anything to worry about besides him. Melinoe (Melinoe_0619): Sure I don't. NemesisAboutSurface04 Melinoe (Melinoe_4424): Why don't I ever see you on the surface, Nem? Surely we have foes deserving your attention there. Nemesis (Nemesis_0303): Death to Chronos is the only task. Won't get caught up in the details like you. Each night you spend up in the mountains, the Titan secures his foothold below. Melinoe (Melinoe_4425): You don't see how Typhon's reemergence complicates matters? He's not exactly the sort of problem one can ignore for long. Nemesis (Nemesis_0304): Really? Watch me. NemesisAboutTask01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0044): We're getting nowhere. I should be out there fighting! Not standing watch over a place nobody comes to uninvited. Damn it... Melinoe (Melinoe_0679): I think the circumstances justify heightened security around here. But if you don't, go take it up with the Headmistress, not me. Nemesis (Nemesis_0045): {#Emph}Ugh... NemesisAboutTask02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0048): You don't deserve this. Any of this. It's unfair. But you're stuck with it. So the only question is, what are you going to do about it now? Melinoe (Melinoe_3930): You'll soon find out! Though, how can you be so sure I don't deserve what's happening or that it isn't fair? Nemesis (Nemesis_0049): {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}You almost had me going there. NemesisAboutTask03 Nemesis (Nemesis_0050): Don't worry, you didn't miss much while you were out. Lot of standing around, chanting prayers for your victory and protection. How'd those work out for you, by the way? Melinoe (Melinoe_1549): Fine, thanks. And your own lack of support is a more significant motivator than you realize. Nemesis (Nemesis_0051): You know all about lack of support... NemesisAboutTask04 Nemesis (Nemesis_0081): How many attempts was that now? Good thing our Titan friend's too busy with your topside relatives to pay you much attention. Melinoe (Melinoe_1568): Sorry, not been keeping count. I'll get there when I get there. Though surely {#Emph}you {#Prev}would have vanquished the Titan Lord on your very first go? Nemesis (Nemesis_0082): Guess we'll never know, will we? NemesisAboutThrone01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0339): What's with that throne conspicuously near my post. Just a temptation. Never once seen {#Emph}you {#Prev}sit down on the job; you ever seen me? Melinoe (Melinoe_4458): No, it's just... I thought perhaps you'd like the option there at least. Nothing in excess, right? And you {#Emph}do {#Prev}have to stand an awful lot. Nemesis (Nemesis_0340): My rules, not yours. I start sitting down, won't want to get back up. Especially wearing all {#Emph}this. {#Prev}Besides, half the point of guard duty is having to stay standing {#Emph}the whole time. Melinoe (Melinoe_4459): The throne could go away if you prefer. Nemesis (Nemesis_0341): Just leave it there for now. NemesisAboutTraining01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0046): I always thought... if I could just train harder than you, she'd reconsider. And give the task to me. Worked my ass off. But it didn't matter. Melinoe (Melinoe_1547): I worked, too. And Headmistress always made herself clear about our roles. You can't change your birthright, nor can I change mine. Nemesis (Nemesis_0047): It isn't fair... NemesisAboutTrainingGrounds01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3235): Why don't I ever see you in the training grounds anymore? You used to let all your aggression out over there, but now it's like you're saving it for {#Emph}me. Nemesis (Nemesis_0270): Don't flatter yourself. Saving it for {#Emph}Chronos. {#Prev}And the training grounds increasingly are custom-fit for {#Emph}you{#Prev}, in case you haven't noticed. From that Altar, to the weapons display. Melinoe (Melinoe_3236): I'm the only one who uses it... Nemesis (Nemesis_0271): Need my space. NemesisAboutTrophyQuest01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0347): You're more conceited than Narcissus. Saw those statues of you in the Training Grounds. You'll have to work a whole lot harder to look like that. Melinoe (Melinoe_4464): No, I... I had nothing to do with those. Well, I did earn them, they're the Gifts of the Veil bestowed upon Night's Champion...! Oh, that does sound quite conceited... Nemesis (Nemesis_0348): Don't sweat it. They're something all right. Always said you'd never be bigger than me. That's what I get. Melinoe (Melinoe_4465): Retribution... NemesisAboutTyphon01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0264): So now Olympus has to deal with Typhon, huh? Wonder if Chronos made a deal with him or just revived and set him loose. Either way, plan like that takes a lot of guts. Melinoe (Melinoe_3927): You sound rather impressed! I'm certain Chronos would welcome you into his ranks as well if you just tell him how you really feel. Nemesis (Nemesis_0265): Hit a nerve? Fine. Doesn't change the fact our enemy outsmarted us. So, no need to keep wasting your time up top... wait, you're not going to try and {#Emph}fight {#Prev}that thing, are you? Melinoe (Melinoe_3928): You really think I'm going to leave my family on Olympus to face that monster on their own? You don't know me at all. Nemesis (Nemesis_0266): Nice knowing you, anyway. Melinoe (Melinoe_3929): A real pleasure. NemesisAboutTyphonDeath01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0400): They're saying you got rid of Typhon for good. Don't believe a word of it. What really happened up there? Melinoe (Melinoe_5006): Got rid of Typhon for good is a concise way to put it. Involved a rather complex incantation called {#Emph}Disintegration of Monstrosity {#Prev}and some other details best left unspoken. But yes, I do believe he's gone. Nemesis (Nemesis_0401): He's immortal... he can't just {#Emph}be {#Prev}gone, and if he is, why not just do the same to Chronos? Or to anybody who stays on your bad side long enough? Melinoe (Melinoe_5007): We've something else in store for Chronos. As for everybody else, they haven't crossed me quite as much just yet. Nemesis (Nemesis_0402): Yet? {#Emph}Huh. NemesisAboutTyphonW01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0300): Must have got a lot of help, knocking Typhon from his perch. Oh, we all heard. You got a dozen family members all up there, some of them strong. So what do they need you for? Melinoe (Melinoe_4422): They certainly are capable, but they're backed into a corner on Olympus. What matters is our latest battle was victorious, and I did what I could to see it through. Nemesis (Nemesis_0301): Sharing in your success, or just trying to appease me? Main reason you won is that monster had it coming anyway. But, it'll all even out. Melinoe (Melinoe_4423): What's that supposed to mean? Nemesis (Nemesis_0302): You'll see. NemesisAboutTyphonW02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0305): Really must be making Typhon mad. What's the plan there besides that? Get so caught up in all the glory that you lose sight of our real enemy? Melinoe (Melinoe_4426): The Father of All Monsters represents an urgent threat; you'd know it if you saw him for yourself. If Olympus is laid to ruin, Chronos prevails. We wouldn't be able to stop him. Nemesis (Nemesis_0306): Speak for yourself. The Underworld never needed any of those gods. Chronos wouldn't even be here if not for them. Melinoe (Melinoe_4427): Thank the Fates we have you to deal with him. Nemesis (Nemesis_0307): Thank the Fates. NemesisAboutUltimateProgress01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0308): Can't kill Chronos, can't kill Typhon, so what now? Keep doing this till somebody gives up? Thought we had a better plan. Melinoe (Melinoe_4428): The Titan thinks he took the upper hand by awakening that monster. But we'll turn that setback into our gain. Typhon is immensely powerful; a power we can use. Nemesis (Nemesis_0309): You really think the Titan would just offer up the key to his own undoing like that? Doesn't sound particularly smart. Melinoe (Melinoe_4429): The plan was always to exploit what he doesn't know. Nemesis (Nemesis_0310): Think he knows a lot more than you. NemesisAboutWaiting01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0077): The hell are you doing talking to me? You get your scrawny ass back {#Emph}out {#Prev}there, and get that Titan! What are you waiting for? Melinoe (Melinoe_1567): Rude! NemesisAboutWeapons01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0086): Even Mother Nyx's weapons favor you. Always thought the Nocturnal Arms would wake for me first. Guess the Fates had other ideas. Melinoe (Melinoe_1569): I think the Fates had you covered. You're the bearer of Stygius! Vanquisher of heroes, gods, and Titans. Nemesis (Nemesis_0087): Seems it was due for a long break. NemesisBathHouse01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3104): Nemesis, we've been going on like this a while, and I wondered if you'd be up to take a break. Over at the Springs. Nemesis (Nemesis_0203): {#Emph}Hm. {#Prev}Come to think, could really use a bath. {#Emph}You{#Prev}, I mean. But I could too, I guess, so... why not. Melinoe (Melinoe_3105): How long has it been since you last took off the armor? Nemesis (Nemesis_0213): A while. Not been much incentive. You saw how much of a pain it is to undo the lacing, and the straps. Feels strange without, like I'm... I... I don't know. Melinoe (Melinoe_3106): ...Unburdened? Or more comfortable at least? Nemesis (Nemesis_0214): {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}Good letting off some steam sometimes, I guess. But there's a fine line between rest and complacency. Melinoe (Melinoe_3107): I don't know that we're at risk of becoming complacent here, Nem. Nemesis (Nemesis_0215): The risk is greater than you think. We're lounging in a bath while who-knows-what is going on out there... Melinoe (Melinoe_3108): We're not lounging. We'll be better equipped to deal with the who-knows-what out there if our muscles aren't all knotted up. Nemesis (Nemesis_0217): All right, got to get back to work. Though, this suit does feel a little lighter now... Melinoe (Melinoe_3109): Take care, Nem. NemesisBathHouse02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3110): Hey Nem, are you available to make another visit to the springs? Take a load off, come back to our senses a bit... Nemesis (Nemesis_0204): {#Emph}Eh. {#Prev}Shoulder's been acting up again, could be it helps with that. Don't like having to take the suit off, but that's the trade. Nemesis (Nemesis_0218): First time you beat me in a fight? {#Emph}Sparring match{#Prev}, whatever. Got me right in the back of the neck. Took advantage of our height difference. Was a surprise. Melinoe (Melinoe_3111): I'd lost to you so often, at some point I figured I could lull you into overconfidence. That even you could be susceptible to such a thing. Nemesis (Nemesis_0219): You weren't wrong. Made me so {#Emph}angry. {#Prev}Swore I'd never underestimate my opponent again. Then proceeded to convince myself you'd never beat me at the task. {#Emph}Our {#Prev}task. Melinoe (Melinoe_3112): So you've a bit of pride. You're not trying to stamp it out completely, right? Just keep it in check. Besides, I'd like to think we're not at odds in what we're trying to achieve. Nemesis (Nemesis_0220): We're not. But I can only push myself so hard. Seeing you getting stronger, getting closer... gives me the extra push I need. Melinoe (Melinoe_3113): I'd no idea. I always thought I got my competitive spirit from {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Anyway... do let me know if you need anything else. Such as lending a hand putting on that suit of yours. Nemesis (Nemesis_0221): Or taking it off, yeah. Though, can't let myself become too used to this. Nemesis (Nemesis_0222): Well, enough sitting around. Time for some standing around to balance it out. Melinoe (Melinoe_3115): Off we go, then. NemesisBathHouse03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4441): You never did say no to Bath Salts, Nemesis, so how about it? As long as you feel we've earned at least a short break. Nemesis (Nemesis_0321): Don't know that we have. Though I've accumulated enough knots in my muscles that it's gotten in the way. So why not. Nemesis (Nemesis_0322): Can't believe I'm sitting here with you. Couldn't stand the sight of you for the longest time. Wanted to snap you like a twig. Now I got you helping me unstrap my suit. Melinoe (Melinoe_4442): We're capable of change, aren't we? You must believe that yourself, otherwise what's the use of all the retribution you dole out? It can't be for the sake of punishment entirely. Nemesis (Nemesis_0323): The punishment is half of it. But yeah. Important to learn, if not from our own failures then those occurring constantly around us. Still I don't think I've changed at all; you have. Melinoe (Melinoe_4443): I have? I'm still hell-bent on all my responsibilities. Counting the moments before I can get back to what I'm meant to be doing... rather than enjoying being here with you. Nemesis (Nemesis_0324): Except we're only here because you worked up the guts to ask. But fine, maybe you haven't changed a lot. Maybe I just like who you are more than I used to for some reason. Melinoe (Melinoe_4444): I feel much the same. Though, I've admired you since training. It gladdens me to be with you like this... and how we've been fighting on the same side, recently. Nemesis (Nemesis_0325): Always wanted the same thing, just didn't think there was enough to go around. Now, enough talk. Going to get these knots out of my back or what? Nemesis (Nemesis_0326): ...Feels better than before, I'll give you that. Though don't go thinking I'll let up on you out there. We're calling this even. Melinoe (Melinoe_4446): As it should be. NemesisBathHouseDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0683): Hey, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, I suspect I know the answer, though I don't suppose you want to pay a visit to the springs? Clear our heads? Nemesis (Nemesis_0170): Oh, {#Emph}uh... {#Prev}Appreciate the invite, but I'm on guard duty right now, probably until Time claims us all. And this suit takes forever to get on or off... NemesisBuyItem01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0070): Trade you something for some Gold. Got to keep Charon fed and all. NemesisBuyItem02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0071): Need some Gold and won't be fair if I just beat it out of you, so how about a trade. NemesisBuyItem03 Nemesis (NemesisField_0072): What say we make a little deal if you've got the coin. NemesisBuyItem04 Nemesis (NemesisField_0073): Got something you could use though you're not getting it for free. NemesisBuyItem05 Nemesis (NemesisField_0074): Can help you go farther than this, but it's not gonna come cheap. NemesisBuyItem06 Nemesis (NemesisField_0075): Want to be the best, it's not gonna come cheap. NemesisBuyItem07 Nemesis (NemesisField_0076): Make you a deal, but only if you've got the coin for it. NemesisBuyItem08 Nemesis (NemesisField_0077): You're a princess, you must have some coin to spare, don't you? NemesisBuyItem09 Nemesis (NemesisField_0078): How much Gold you get out there? Can make it worth your while. NemesisBuyItem10 Nemesis (NemesisField_0079): Could shake you down for all your Gold, but wouldn't be fair. NemesisBuyItemFields01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0431): Well, look who! Also lost here in these Fields I guess? Trade you a map or something if I had one, but you wouldn't have been able to afford it, so I'd use it to get out of here myself. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1970): I doubt a map would be of any use, as these pathways seem to shift from night to night. I've been able to make use of the Golden Boughs scattered about at least. What about you? Nemesis (NemesisField_0432): The Golden Boughs. Had no idea those did anything but look all sad. Guess I should have paid better attention when the Headmistress was droning on and on over that Cauldron. NemesisBuyItemIntro01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0068): Always used to be Gold in the Underworld, right in its veins. But Chronos turned it into little coins! All over the damn place now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0024): Lord Charon's going to take care of it, soon enough. I give him all the Gold I find. Trade for his wares. Nemesis (NemesisField_0069): Think I can do the same, if you want to make a deal. Don't worry, any Gold I get from you, Charon gets from me. NemesisChat01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0003): Mortals must be thinking they can get away with anything lately... NemesisChat02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0006): Awful busy standing guard as you can see. NemesisChat03 Nemesis (Nemesis_0004): So much evil happening out there, unchecked... NemesisChat04 Nemesis (Nemesis_0010): Go on. That task of yours isn't going to complete itself. NemesisChat05 Nemesis (Nemesis_0005): Could've been topside right now, bringing down what's rightfully deserved... NemesisChat06 Nemesis (Nemesis_0007): Not going anywhere, so go on and do your {#Emph}task. NemesisChat07 Nemesis (Nemesis_0008): We all get what we deserve. No more, no less. NemesisChat08 Nemesis (Nemesis_0009): Missed all the excitement while you were out. NemesisChat09 Nemesis (Nemesis_0012): Go knock yourself out. I'll be right here. NemesisChat10 Nemesis (Nemesis_0013): Excuse me, I'm on duty still, as you can see. NemesisChat11 Nemesis (Nemesis_0014): {#Emph}Ungh, {#Prev}what did I ever do to deserve this... NemesisChat12 Nemesis (Nemesis_0015): Back on the beat again already there, Princess? NemesisChat13 Nemesis (Nemesis_0016): Go crack some skulls for me, they have it coming. NemesisChat14 Nemesis (Nemesis_0017): Can only imagine what you've been up to out there. NemesisChat15 Nemesis (Nemesis_0018): Counting on you not to get too greedy out there. NemesisChat16 Nemesis (Nemesis_0019): Better get your scrawny ass back out there huh? NemesisChat17 Nemesis (Nemesis_0020): Go cry to your Headmistress Hecate. She's right there. NemesisChat18 Nemesis (Nemesis_0021): The ways of the Witch of the Crossroads can only take you so far. NemesisChat19 Nemesis (Nemesis_0022): Sooner or later, everything always comes full circle, Princess. NemesisChat20 Nemesis (Nemesis_0023): You were topside for a while there, huh... NemesisChat21 Nemesis (Nemesis_0024): Gone so long that time, figured you lost your way. NemesisChat22 Nemesis (Nemesis_0025): All the way back, just to lick your wounds and go again? NemesisChat23 Nemesis (Nemesis_0026): Thought for sure you would have given up by now. NemesisChat24 Nemesis (Nemesis_0027): All's quiet in the Crossroads, for the thousandth time... NemesisChat25 Nemesis (Nemesis_0028): Just going to keep putting yourself through this, huh. NemesisChat26 Nemesis (Nemesis_0029): Got the pointless guard duty well under control. NemesisChat27 Nemesis (Nemesis_0030): Go on, you've got more important things to do than talk to me. NemesisChat28 Nemesis (Nemesis_0031): Want to take over for me, go right ahead. NemesisChat29 Nemesis (Nemesis_0032): Find Chronos, kill Chronos. Go. NemesisChat30 Nemesis (Nemesis_0033): Death to Chronos, Princess. Melinoe (Melinoe_1211): Death to Chronos. NemesisChat31 Nemesis (Nemesis_0011): Ready to give up, tell Hecate I'm still available. NemesisCombatFirstIntro Nemesis (NemesisField_0005): One word of this to Hecate, and you're meat, got it? Now go on while I take care of things. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0014): This is my task, not yours. And I'm disappointed with your dereliction of duty. Are you so desperate to prove you're superior to me? Nemesis (NemesisField_0006): You know, maybe I am. So how about this: Got some Gold on you, right? Those wretches ought to swarm in any moment. Whoever takes more of them gets the other's coin. What do you say? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0015): Must it always be a wager with you? Nemesis (NemesisField_0007): Fair odds of winning if you shut up and fight! NemesisCombatMiscStart01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0027): Going to take care of Chronos myself if you can't do it. But first things first. NemesisCombatMiscStart02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0028): Once we're done here, one of us gets richer, and one of us gets poorer. NemesisCombatMiscStart03 Nemesis (NemesisField_0029): How did you get here already? {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, anyway. It's your Gold against mine. NemesisCombatMiscStart04 Nemesis (NemesisField_0030): Can hardly stand all this water and the singing, but this has to be done. NemesisCombatMiscStart05 Nemesis (NemesisField_0031): Was just about to clear the way, so why don't you pitch in. NemesisCombatMiscStart06 Nemesis (NemesisField_0032): Fates must be smiling on you, as I'm about to do {#Emph}all {#Prev}the work. NemesisCombatMiscStart07 Nemesis (NemesisField_0033): Should be more than enough wretches for the both of us here, any moment now. NemesisCombatMiscStart08 Nemesis (NemesisField_0034): Don't need assistance from you here, but how about we make things interesting... NemesisCombatMiscStart09 Nemesis (NemesisField_0035): I'll handle this, and once I'm finished with the work, I'm getting paid. NemesisCombatMiscStart10 Nemesis (NemesisField_0036): Let's see whether the Fates are on your side or mine this time around. NemesisCombatMiscStart11 Nemesis (NemesisField_0037): To think I could be standing there on guard duty right now. NemesisCombatMiscStart12 Nemesis (NemesisField_0038): Remember to be extra reckless since your Gold is on the line. NemesisCombatMiscStart13 Nemesis (NemesisField_0437): Could use more coin. How about I take yours, soon as we're finished around here. NemesisCombatMiscStart14 Nemesis (NemesisField_0438): Get set to fight as though there's something you could buy from Charon on the line. NemesisCombatMiscStart15 Nemesis (NemesisField_0439): Showed up just as I was about to settle up all by myself. Well you can have your share. NemesisCombatMiscStart16 Nemesis (NemesisField_0440): Let's split the killing down the middle, give or take. As in, {#Emph}I'll {#Prev}take your Gold. NemesisCombatMiscStart17 Nemesis (NemesisField_0441): Don't pull your weight, I'll take your Gold soon as I wrap this up. NemesisCombatMiscStart18 Nemesis (NemesisField_0442): Got the Blade of the Underworld. Won't be needing your help here, thanks. NemesisCombatMiscStart19 Nemesis (NemesisField_0443): Want a bit of extra Gold, then earn it. Now heads up, they're coming. NemesisCombatMiscStart20 Nemesis (NemesisField_0444): How about a little friendly competition there, Princess? Come on, let's see it. NemesisCombatMiscStart21 Nemesis (NemesisField_0499): They say Chronos likes Gold, so he won't mind our little contest here. NemesisCombatMiscStart22 Nemesis (NemesisField_0480): So this is where the {#Emph}real {#Prev}magick happens, huh. Let's see what the best of the Titan's armies have to offer. NemesisDamageContest01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0146): All that pent-up anger. Let it out, then. I feel anything, I'll make it worth your while. NemesisDamageContest02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0147): Wretches couldn't even hit me. Wasn't fair. How about you make it up to them. NemesisDamageContest03 Nemesis (NemesisField_0148): Look at you acting tough. Go on, hit me hard as you can. Free shot. NemesisDamageContest04 Nemesis (NemesisField_0149): Let's see how strong you really are. Hit me, and don't hold back. NemesisDamageContest05 Nemesis (NemesisField_0150): Can tell you're angry. Then let it out and show me what you're made of. NemesisDamageContest06 Nemesis (NemesisField_0151): Look at you, all tough and fierce. Show me how strong you really are. NemesisDamageContest07 Nemesis (NemesisField_0152): To the victor go the spoils. So come show me what you've got. NemesisDamageContest08 Nemesis (NemesisField_0153): None of these wretches could touch me. But you're stronger than them, right? NemesisDamageContest09 Nemesis (NemesisField_0154): Don't think you have what it takes, though go on and try to prove me wrong. NemesisDamageContest10 Nemesis (NemesisField_0155): Getting stronger, but you'll never be at my level. Go on, try me. NemesisDamageContestIntro01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0144): Got here well before you did. Cleaned up, too. Makes you mad, I know. Don't hold back... let's see how strong you really are. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0027): I don't want to fight you, Nemesis. I don't even want to speak with you right now. Nemesis (NemesisField_0145): Not asking you to fight me. Asking you to {#Emph}hit {#Prev}me. See if you can even make me budge. It'll be worth your while. NemesisFirstMeeting Nemesis (Nemesis_0002): Already hit a wall! Knocked your scrawny ass all the way back here. It's insane that she's sending you out on foot, all on your own. Melinoe (Melinoe_0077): You're fortunate you have even {#Emph}this {#Prev}responsibility, for all your questioning of orders and complaining. Nemesis (Nemesis_0458): Oh, shut up. NemesisFishing01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3487): I thought I saw some movement by the fishing pier. A thorough investigation is probably in order, right? Nemesis (Nemesis_0172): Either that or rot here standing guard, right? Know what, fine, I'll bite. Doubt anything else will. Nemesis (Nemesis_0255): To have been born a fish. A life spent mucking about in the River of Lamentation, only to be plucked out by {#Emph}you. {#Prev}What did they do to deserve this? Melinoe (Melinoe_3237): Shouldn't you be the one to know the answer to that? Perhaps it's the will of the Fates that determines how we're born. Then you ensure we get our dues based on the choices that we make. Nemesis (Nemesis_0256): Be a lot easier if everyone was born on equal footing. But no one in my family thinks life's meant to be fair, other than me. Melinoe (Melinoe_3238): How can life possibly be fair, knowing there are creatures of all sorts, such as those dwelling in these waters? Nemesis (Nemesis_0257): We'd have to put a bit more structure into who decides how mortals are born. Or how their souls come back to life. Topic for a different time. Think I saw a bit of movement over there. Nemesis (Nemesis_0202): Gave them a fair shot, didn't we. Real battle of wits back there. NemesisFishingDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0684): Say, would you accompany me to the riverbank a bit? Blow off some steam, or... maybe I could push you in or something? Nemesis (Nemesis_0171): Could be going after perpetrators of unspeakable evil across the surface, but you're asking me to go after some poor fish? Uh, no. NemesisGetFreeItem01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0045): You need all the help you can get, so here! Don't need this anyway. NemesisGetFreeItem02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0046): So much useless junk lying around. Here, ought to be {#Emph}you {#Prev}cleaning it up, not me. NemesisGetFreeItem03 Nemesis (NemesisField_0047): Won't be needing this at all, but you look like you will.

NemesisGetFreeItem05 Nemesis (NemesisField_0049): Wow, you really showed them, didn't you. And earned a handsome prize. NemesisGetFreeItem06 Nemesis (NemesisField_0050): Best keep your mouth shut about this next time you and Hecate catch up. NemesisGetFreeItem07 Nemesis (NemesisField_0051): We'll see who gets there first. Here, I'll even give you a boost. NemesisGetFreeItem08 Nemesis (NemesisField_0052): You travel lighter than me, so here, why don't we balance out the load. NemesisGetFreeItem09 Nemesis (NemesisField_0053): Was just about to throw this out when you came along... NemesisGetFreeItem10 Nemesis (NemesisField_0054): No way you'll get there first. Even give you a head start. NemesisGetFreeItemBridge01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0045): You need all the help you can get, so here! Don't need this anyway.

Even give you a head start. NemesisGetFreeItemIntro01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0002): Missed all the fun. But least you won't have to get your hands dirty this time. Melinoe (Melinoe_2140): Nemesis, what are you doing here? Who's standing watch at the Crossroads? Nemesis (NemesisField_0422): They'll manage, I'm on break. Tell Hecate you saw me, you'll regret it. And, {#Emph}you're welcome here and safe{#Prev}, seeing as I cleared the path for you. Melinoe (Melinoe_2141): I don't need your aid in this, other than the responsibilities you've already been assigned. Nemesis (NemesisField_0004): Really? Look like you could use all the {#Emph}aid {#Prev}you can get. Here's something for your trouble, then I suggest you move along. NemesisGetFreeItemIntro02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0039): You're late. Already took care of things here, though you'll still get your share, I'm sure. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0023): If you insist on trying to hunt Chronos down, why don't we work at it together, at least? Nemesis (NemesisField_0040): Can't be seen with you, and don't need your help, besides. But I get you need mine, so here. Take this, and you never saw me. Got it? NemesisGetFreeItemIntroBridge01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0435): Expecting someone else? Taking a moment to get my bearings. Was nice and quiet here till you showed up. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1972): You haven't seen a gentle-looking Nymph nearby, have you? She's often here on this bridge. Nemesis (NemesisField_0436): Might be I scared her off. Got more important things to do than chasing Nymphs. Anyway, go on. The spirits in this place won't like us making nice. NemesisGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0685): Nemesis? Maybe we could start again. Here, I got you something... Nemesis (Nemesis_0095): Don't need your charity, Princess, or temptations while I'm on duty or off. You're doing this because you want something from me anyway, so here! Knock yourself out. NemesisGift02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0096): You trying to get me in trouble with Hecate or something? Why don't you take your bottle before I smash it, and get your scrawny ass out of here. Melinoe (Melinoe_0627): I wasn't trying to get you in trouble, Nem, I was just... {#Emph}ungh{#Prev}. You know what, forget it. NemesisGift03 Nemesis (Nemesis_0097): Oh, for me? Can't find another way to test one of your poisons, I guess. You witches aren't as subtle as you think. Melinoe (Melinoe_0628): That's exactly what someone who was unknowingly poisoned by a witch might say, you know. Nemesis (Nemesis_0163): {#Emph}Ugh. NemesisGift04 Nemesis (Nemesis_0145): Oh no, not this again. Look, I forgave you for last time. Didn't mean it as an invitation to get me more of this stuff. Don't like owing anybody any favors. Melinoe (Melinoe_2097): Just take it and enjoy it, Nem. Besides, I heard you were looking for some more of our witches' poison. Nobody seems to appreciate it quite like you. NemesisGift05 Nemesis (Nemesis_0098): Why do you keep doing this? You won, OK? You beat me. Before you even started. Last thing I need now is your sympathy. Melinoe (Melinoe_0629): Nemesis... I don't know what I'm supposed to do. We're surrounded by enemies out there. Do we really need more? Nemesis (Nemesis_0099): ...You're not my enemy, Melinoë. I just... Just go. Melinoe (Melinoe_2250): Bye, Nem... NemesisGift06 Nemesis (Nemesis_0311): Suggest you quit it with these Nectars soon. Can't have too much of a good thing. Should know that about me by now. Melinoe (Melinoe_4430): Sure, you can't have too much of a good thing anymore than anybody else. Though, what would happen if you did? You'd need to punish yourself? Nemesis (Nemesis_0312): Yeah. And don't you dare act like you wouldn't do the same. One thing I'll grant Hecate is she does value discipline. Sometimes we have to discipline ourselves. Melinoe (Melinoe_4431): We have to take care of ourselves, too. NemesisGift07 Melinoe (Melinoe_4432): I know you dislike excesses of any kind, though I don't think one more Ambrosia bottle's going to tip the scales for you, is it, Nem? Nemesis (Nemesis_0313): It might. Won't go to the taverna to find out, so why don't you take it back. Not really the time for luxuries. Melinoe (Melinoe_4433): How about you hold onto it until whenever you feel it's deserved. If you're not indulging, you don't need to be concerned about it, right? Nemesis (Nemesis_0314): Want to waste something like this, fine. But it's just going in a stash, and probably will never see what little light we get. Long as you're good with that. Melinoe (Melinoe_4434): I am. NemesisGift08 Melinoe (Melinoe_4435): Thought I'd bring you something extra for your never-to-be-used stash, Nemesis. Because you might deserve it at some point, you never know. Nemesis (Nemesis_0315): {#Emph}You {#Prev}never know. What makes you even think I might deserve something like this? Not exactly been at the top of my field lately. Melinoe (Melinoe_4436): Well I am not the arbiter of such matters of course, but I think you {#Emph}do {#Prev}deserve it. You must be harder on yourself than anyone. If only you could see yourself as I do sometime. Nemesis (Nemesis_0316): Don't know what {#Emph}that's {#Prev}supposed to mean. We were going for the same result, and both pushed hard. So what. But anyway, into the stash this goes. Melinoe (Melinoe_4437): Where it belongs. NemesisGift09 Nemesis (Nemesis_0317): Ambrosia. Look, you should know my never-to-be-used stash is just about full. Wouldn't want for it to overflow. Melinoe (Melinoe_4438): You could always invite me to the taverna where we might cut into that stash of yours a bit. Why hoard it forever? Besides the reasons that you previously said. Nemesis (Nemesis_0318): Not going to invite you anywhere long as you keep this up. And I don't appreciate you making light of the subject of avoiding excess. My area of expertise. Not yours. Melinoe (Melinoe_4439): I'm sorry, Nemesis, I wasn't aiming to be rude; words I cannot entirely believe I'm saying, much less feeling, since we used to trade barbs all the time. Nemesis (Nemesis_0319): Things sure were nice and simple then, weren't they. But now we're stuck in whatever pattern this is, till we break free, and we're doing that now. No more Ambrosia. Ever. Melinoe (Melinoe_4440): Ever? What about Bath Salts? Nemesis (Nemesis_0320): {#Emph} NemesisGiftDecline01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0022): Here, Nemesis! To your willful disobedience. May those instincts of yours never lead you astray. Nemesis (NemesisField_0024): Really think this is the perfect time for us to just kick back and have a few laughs over a nice bottle? Like I got nothing better to do right now. NemesisGiveTraitForItem01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0134): All these hand-outs from your relatives... surely you don't need them {#Emph}all? NemesisGiveTraitForItem02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0135): Got something here you need, but it'll cost you some of your false power from Olympus. NemesisGiveTraitForItem03 Nemesis (NemesisField_0136): Give me some of your borrowed strength, and you'll get some of mine. NemesisGiveTraitForItem04 Nemesis (NemesisField_0137): Don't need Olympus handing everything to you.

NemesisPostCombatAboutArmor01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1211): Doesn't all that heavy armor slow you down? Can't be too comfortable, especially around the waist. Nemesis (NemesisField_0014): Can't be too comfortable is right. Besides, not everybody wants to run half-naked into battle. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1212): You really ought to try running half-naked into battle. You might like it! Nemesis (NemesisField_0015): Rather be invulnerable, thanks. NemesisPostCombatAboutArtemis01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0475): Ran into Artemis back there. Between her and now me, we must have done half the heavy lifting for you tonight. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3632): Must be what I deserve, though, right? And don't worry, there should be plenty of foes ahead whom I shall have to deal with on my own. How is the goddess of the hunt this eve? Nemesis (NemesisField_0476): Seems well enough, we had a decent chat. Was beginning to think she's been avoiding me a while, though I can't imagine why she'd want to do a thing like that. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3633): Nor I. NemesisPostCombatAboutCerberus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0760): Across the Fields of Mourning, where the path descends to Tartarus... the monstrous creature there... do you know what it is? Nemesis (NemesisField_0021): It's a problem. Can't always find my way to it, and even when I do, that thing forces me back. But don't worry; got my eye on it. NemesisPostCombatAboutChronos01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0761): You must have thought you would have taken Chronos down by now. Have you even seen him? Gotten anywhere near my father's House? Nemesis (NemesisField_0017): Keep hitting snags along the way. The pathways down to Tartarus have changed a lot. Especially once you get to the Fields. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0762): I have a sense for where we need to go. I'd suggest we proceed together had Headmistress not strictly forbidden it. Nemesis (NemesisField_0018): Not happening, no matter what she says. Doing this alone. Better odds that way anyway. NemesisPostCombatAboutFailure01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0196): Quit stalling. Sooner you fail, sooner I'll get to show you how it's done. NemesisPostCombatAboutHecate01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0019): Say, how do you get past Headmistress on your way down? She's always waiting for me at the edge of Erebus. Nemesis (NemesisField_0016): Just answered your own question. She's waiting for {#Emph}you{#Prev}, not me. I'm not the one still being tested and trained. And I'm good at avoiding her. NemesisPostCombatAboutKeepsake01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0012): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, you brought the Evil Eye I gave to you, how sweet. Make your enemies regret messing with you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0018): I'm certain our foes will get what's coming. This Eye, though; it almost looks alive. Not using it to spy on me, are you? Nemesis (NemesisField_0013): Nah. See enough of you as it is. Now get out of here before that Eye does anything to me. NemesisPostCombatAboutLosing01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0427): {#Emph}Damn {#Prev}it! How many times you going to take my Gold? Rules of this wager might be too much in your favor after all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1967): You set the rules of this wager yourself. You'd never go easy on me, would you, Nem? Though you can't bring yourself to make things overly unfair for me, either. Nemesis (NemesisField_0428): Beginning to think it might be a weakness of mine. Well, go buy yourself something nice, Princess. Don't need to hear more metal clinking around every step I take anyway. NemesisPostCombatAboutOceanus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1968): All of this water must be quite a nuisance in your suit. Not found another pathway down, have you? Nemesis (NemesisField_0429): Only other path is through Elysium, and that's not happening for you or me. What better way for Chronos to show he's in charge than to seal off the Underworld for good? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1969): Good thing he missed a spot. Although he realizes now that we're using this path. That I am using it, at least. Nemesis (NemesisField_0430): Thanks for the tip! No wonder the fish are biting. Anyway, I'm off. This suit isn't supposed to rust, but just in case. NemesisPostCombatAboutProgress01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0010): Thought for sure when first you saw me out here, you'd go telling Hecate soon as you could. But you didn't. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0017): It's fortunate for you Headmistress doesn't ask me to make reports. You're probably drawing some of our enemy's attention off of me, at least. Nemesis (NemesisField_0011): Very least I could do. Wasn't going to back down no matter what you did, but {#Emph}this {#Prev}way... can stay focused. On the task at hand. NemesisPostCombatAboutRelationship01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0472): Who needs to sip Ambrosia in the Crossroads when we could be out here doing this together, right? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3629): Vanquishing our foes with impunity is your idea of a good time? Although that's not to say I don't take satisfaction in a job well done either. Wait what did you mean by {#Emph}together? Nemesis (NemesisField_0473): Oh shut up. We used to spar, this is the closest thing. Don't know anybody else who can keep up, let alone get ahead. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3630): A healthy competitive rivalry is all we have between us then? Nemesis (NemesisField_0474): I said shut up. What else do you want it to be. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3631): ...I'll get back to you. NemesisPostCombatAboutRelationship02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0445): ...I broke a sweat? I broke a sweat. That never happens, those were weaklings, I... {#Emph}oh damn... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3620): What's the matter, Nem, are you all right? Our foes may have resorted to using poisons and such, if I could look at any superficial wounds... Nemesis (NemesisField_0446): Don't touch me! It's not that. Now get on with it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3621): Hey... NemesisPostCombatAboutScylla01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0020): Have you been able to get past Scylla and her Siren friends? Just once I'd like to pass through and not have to hear their song... Nemesis (NemesisField_0019): They know better than to mess with me. Wait, you've been {#Emph}fighting {#Prev}them? How'd you make enemies with a musical act? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0021): I... can't entirely be sure. But they've been very hostile to me. Nemesis (NemesisField_0020): Can't imagine why. NemesisPostCombatAboutSurface01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0022): First wager in a while. Been busy up top, breathing surface air? Thought maybe you came to your senses and left things to me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1213): Oh, I'm not finished here by any means. And evidently neither are you. Still at it like before? Quite difficult, I know. Nemesis (NemesisField_0023): Oh, shut up. NemesisPostCombatAboutTartarus01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0425): Tell me something, and don't you dare mock me or you'll regret it: How do I... get into Tartarus. Managed to make it through the Fields, then hit a dead end. Kept hitting it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1966): Tartarus is sealed off. The only reason I'm able to get in is because not even Chronos can take away my birthright and divine authority over the place. Although if not for Headmistress, I wouldn't have known how to use it. Nemesis (NemesisField_0426): No help at all, forget I even asked. Got to be some other way inside, and if not, just have to make one I guess. For now, enjoy the lack of competition while you can. NemesisPostCombatAboutTartarus02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3676): Any progress locating a means to enter Tartarus? I'd transfer you my birthright if I could under the circumstances, though I'm reasonably certain that's not possible. Nemesis (NemesisField_0455): Got my own birthright, thanks. And yeah, been making progress. Three-headed monster near the maintenance access point to Tartarus... it digs up through the ground. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3677): You plan to get into the lowest reaches of the Underworld through the hell-hole that beast leaves behind? You know that's Cerberus, my father's dog, don't you? Nemesis (NemesisField_0456): All the more reason that tunnel's going to lead me right where I need to be, one of these nights. Mark my words. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3678): Consider them marked... NemesisPostCombatAboutTartarus03 Nemesis (NemesisField_0457): Told you I'd make it all this way. Nice place your father's got. Though I guess Chronos since refurbished everything. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3679): Congratulations on infiltrating the lowest reaches, Nemesis. And if you've been drawing out some of our enemy's forces, all the better; plenty to go around. Reached Chronos yet? Nemesis (NemesisField_0458): Got to what has to be the House of Hades, but you know what? They wouldn't let me in. Tried knocking, tried smashing down the door, no good. So Charon took me back. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3680): You got Charon to take you on his boat? He's never once permitted me! Nemesis (NemesisField_0459): Guess you just don't have the birthright for it, Princess. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3681): {#Emph}...Ah. NemesisPostCombatBecomingCloser01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0447): Not quite as comfortable as being in the springs, is it, Princess? And can be solitary work at that. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3622): It needn't be, but you refused back when I suggested we could go together through these depths. Now having second thoughts? Nemesis (NemesisField_0448): Been having thoughts, but of a different kind. You got into my head. I want you out. You always tried distracting me back when we sparred and now, you made it worse. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3623): What are you talking about, what did {#Emph}I {#Prev}do...? ...Oh. By having thoughts you mean... feelings. So what now...? Nemesis (NemesisField_0449): Don't know yet, but... well we could stay here a bit, till enough is enough. Since it's quiet. Not binding you, just... too much solitude lately, and want to even it all out. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3628): ...I'm much like you in not desiring too much of a good thing. I'm supposed to be on task, you're supposed to be on duty; I just don't think my mind would be at ease. Tell me you understand? Nemesis (NemesisField_0454): I do. Forget I asked. Least we got to talk like this. Should get going, but... be seeing you around. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3624): ...Even it all out... well if we're to make ourselves comfortable and stay quiet, then your armor {#Emph}has {#Prev}to go. Why don't I lend a hand with that, and then we'll go from there? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3625): ...Well your armor's definitely harder to put back on, but we got there. You all right, Nem? The distraction gone away at least...? Nemesis (NemesisField_0451): Think so, and yeah, I'm better now. I'm good. What about you, are you... I mean... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3626): I'm also good! This was a thrill...! We ought be on assignment, not alleviating solitude, but... you'd know better than anyone whether this was too much. Nemesis (NemesisField_0452): Was just enough for now. Should get going, though could always do this again should the need arise. Nemesis (NemesisField_0453): Oh, didn't need this but maybe you do. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3627): Bye, Nem... NemesisPostCombatFirstMeeting Nemesis (NemesisField_0008): Surprised you didn't bail out with that return trick of yours. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0016): You don't know anything about me. What are you thinking, being this far from your post, in violation of Headmistress Hecate's direct orders? Nemesis (NemesisField_0009): I'm {#Emph}thinking {#Prev}you don't have what it takes to take the Titan down. {#Emph}I {#Prev}do. Now, get out of here. NemesisPostCombatPostTrueEnding01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0477): Knew you weren't finished, and you know what? Neither am I. Whatever it is you're doing now, I'm not being left out. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4081): Sure! Just have a chat with Headmistress or Grandfather Chronos and they'll fill you in on everything we're up to now. Nemesis (NemesisField_0478): Right. Meantime, anybody asks, I'm just out to stretch my legs and keep my sword arm in top form. NemesisPostEpilogue01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0450): Heard you found the Three Fates. Don't believe that's how it happened. Probably weren't even looking. They found {#Emph}you. Melinoe (Melinoe_5270): That is a distinct possibility. Perhaps when Chronos thought he sent them into exile, they merely played along. And now decided to check in after the troubles with him passed. Nemesis (Nemesis_0451): Sure sounds like something they'd do. But no use speculating, right? And what now, we're all back to having no will of our own? Maybe we never did. Melinoe (Melinoe_5271): Perhaps they don't want us to be certain either way. Nor do they seem to desire all the credit for the actions we take. Nemesis (Nemesis_0452): Guess we'd better act like we have everything under control. Melinoe (Melinoe_5272): What else can we do? NemesisPostTrueEnding01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0407): Finally back from your father's House. Was Hecate all right? After the Titan got her, I... ought to have taken guard duty more seriously, and... won't soon forgive myself, is all. Melinoe (Melinoe_5012): Headmistress would only want for you to learn from it. I half-wonder if she let herself be taken just to get closer to our mark. Perhaps go speak with her...? Nemesis (Nemesis_0408): Yeah. And what of Chronos, heard he isn't really dead and gone. How come everybody's cheering for you then? Melinoe (Melinoe_5013): He's dead and gone in the sense that we have neutralized the threat he posed. I now shall have to grow accustomed to having him as a grandfather, rather than a hated foe. Nemesis (Nemesis_0409): Don't see why he can't be both. This was never part of the task, and not like you to stray from the objective. We sure this supposedly-neutralized Titan of Time is to be trusted? Melinoe (Melinoe_5763): Headmistress sealed his strongest powers just in case. At any rate... we did it, Nem! Nemesis (Nemesis_0410): Then how come you look like you're headed out again? Heard there's still more Time-related business to sort out. Melinoe (Melinoe_5015): Well, yes, but... Nemesis (Nemesis_0411): Then we're {#Emph}not {#Prev}done. NemesisPostTrueEnding02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0414): So you're still fighting Chronos, and you're still fighting Typhon... though, not just a matter of where, but a matter of {#Emph}when{#Prev}. Something like that? Melinoe (Melinoe_5253): Something like that. {#Emph}Our {#Prev}Chronos, who had let's say a spiritual awakening of sorts, is seeing to it that {#Emph}time flows freely forth{#Prev}, to use his expression. We wish to prevent even the possibility of what happened before. Nemesis (Nemesis_0415): ...I don't get it. What happened before happened {#Emph}already. {#Prev}Time is a simple concept; keeps everything moving forward for {#Emph}everybody {#Prev}at the {#Emph}same exact rate. Melinoe (Melinoe_5254): There may be more to it than that, apparently. Nemesis (Nemesis_0416): Everything's gotten so complicated... NemesisPostTrueEnding03 Melinoe (Melinoe_5273): Still sticking to the Underworld even with the task complete? There must be lots of catching up to do on the surface. Nemesis (Nemesis_0453): Hecate says conditions have to be {#Emph}just right {#Prev}for whatever it is you're trying to do now. Wouldn't want to throw anything off. Melinoe (Melinoe_5274): Appreciate the help. It's just I thought you missed being up there, and mortalkind must miss you, too. A lot of undeservedness to be addressed. Nemesis (Nemesis_0454): Keenly aware, thanks. I'll get back to it after the Underworld's in a better spot. Besides, I think your family's paying close attention to what's going on up there. Melinoe (Melinoe_5275): They probably are. NemesisPostTrueEndingTimeStopped01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0444): Heard you snuffed another Typhon out last night. Well done, Princess. Things are handled in the Underworld, too, when it comes to {#Emph}time flowing freely forth {#Prev}and all that. Melinoe (Melinoe_5445): Things are handled in the Underworld, {#Emph}how? {#Prev}Wait, you've been speaking with Grandfather Chronos, haven't you? Which means... no... Nemesis (Nemesis_0445): Your grandfather did what you never could, and got me in the House of Hades. A remnant one of them, containing the old Chronos we were after all along. And I got him. Melinoe (Melinoe_5265): You {#Emph}got {#Prev}him? Vanquished Chronos on your very first attempt? Impossible... even if you did prevail you'd most likely end up trapped for all eternity in a temporal rift... Nemesis (Nemesis_0446): Go ask your grandfather yourself sometime. Melinoe (Melinoe_5266): You're serious...! NemesisPostTrueEndingTimeStopped02 Melinoe (Melinoe_5267): You really did eliminate one of the Chronos remnants, Grandfather confirmed. That's... {#Emph}amazing{#Prev}, Nemesis. So then, if I focus my efforts on the Typhon remnants on Olympus... Nemesis (Nemesis_0447): ...I can deal with the Chronos remnants in the Underworld. Was planning on keeping that up no matter what. Hecate even gave me the all-clear. Melinoe (Melinoe_5268): Just, unbelievable. Though I still do reserve the right to deal with Chronos remnants on my own. If nothing else, that route gives me an opportunity to see my family. Nemesis (Nemesis_0448): Knock yourself out. I get the impression there are more than enough of those {#Emph}potential Chronos remnants {#Prev}out there for the both of us. Melinoe (Melinoe_5269): Well let's go get them. Nemesis (Nemesis_0449): Let's. NemesisPreCombatBecomingCloser01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4082): Well, you ready to break a sweat again, Nem? Nemesis (NemesisField_0479): Don't insult me else I'll take more than your Gold after this. Now come on. NemesisRandomEventGreeting.VoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_0038): Her again? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0039): Hi, Nem. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0034): Nemesis... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0035): Nemesis? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0036): Nemesis! Nemesis (NemesisField_0197): Well, well. Nemesis (NemesisField_0198): You. Nemesis (NemesisField_0199): You again. Nemesis (NemesisField_0200): Again? Nemesis (NemesisField_0201): Evening. Nemesis (NemesisField_0202): What a coincidence. Nemesis (NemesisField_0203): Thank the Fates. Nemesis (NemesisField_0204): Yeah? Nemesis (NemesisField_0205): What do you want. Nemesis (NemesisField_0206): Move along. Nemesis (NemesisField_0207): There you are. Nemesis (NemesisField_0208): Princess. Nemesis (NemesisField_0209): May I help you? NemesisShopping01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0041): Look at all this business you drummed up, Charon. NemesisShopping02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0042): Can't you see my brother and I are in the middle of something? NemesisShopping03 Nemesis (NemesisField_0043): Leave me alone, trying to make a trade. NemesisShopping04 Nemesis (NemesisField_0044): Get in line. I was here first. NemesisTakeDamageForItem01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0102): {#Emph}Urgh{#Prev}, got to hit something sometimes. You know how it is. Could make it worth your while... NemesisTakeDamageForItem02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0103): Blood's boiling still... got to get it out of my system. Just one clean hit, that's all. NemesisTakeDamageForItem03 Nemesis (NemesisField_0104): Spilled some blood getting my hands on this. Spill some of yours if you want it. NemesisTakeDamageForItem04 Nemesis (NemesisField_0105): You're tough. Can take a hit, can't you. Worth it for both of us... NemesisTakeDamageForItem05 Nemesis (NemesisField_0106): You'd have taken more than one hit getting through this mess... NemesisTakeDamageForItem06 Nemesis (NemesisField_0107): Took a hard hit getting here, how about you take one too. NemesisTakeDamageForItem07 Nemesis (NemesisField_0108): Want something from me, you'll pay with blood. NemesisTakeDamageForItem08 Nemesis (NemesisField_0109): Want to see this through, better be ready to bleed. NemesisTakeDamageForItem09 Nemesis (NemesisField_0110): Doubt you could even handle just a single hit from me. NemesisTakeDamageForItem10 Nemesis (NemesisField_0111): Thinking if you can't take a hit from me, you don't have a chance. NemesisTakeDamageForItemIntro01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0100): These wretches were nothing. Back when we used to spar... almost never got a clean hit in on you. You'd always slip out of the way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0025): What choice did I have? One clean hit from you was more than I could take back then. But I've been practicing! Nemesis (NemesisField_0101): You're tougher, yeah. Though by how much? How about I hit you right now, and if you can take it, you'll get this nice reward I found. Deal? NemesisTakeDamageForItemRepeatSightings01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0433): You following me or something? Not used to running into you this many times per night. Find your own path. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1971): Find my {#Emph}own {#Prev}path? You mean {#Emph}besides {#Prev}the one our Headmistress and Master Tactician endlessly toiled to refine to maximize my chances of success? Nemesis (NemesisField_0434): Just stay out of my way. But first, how about you let me take a good clean swing at you, since you've been mouthing off? NemesisTaverna01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3354): Hey, I know there's an extraordinary likelihood you're going to say {#Emph}no{#Prev}, but... I've an extra-special poison bottle here, and thought maybe we could split it at the taverna, you and I? Nemesis (Nemesis_0146): So damn polite! Well, it's less excessive if we split the bottle, I guess... {#Emph}ungh{#Prev}, you know what? Whatever, sure. Nemesis (Nemesis_0147): ...Come on, say it: Got your ass kicked. By me. Think that was when I first thought I had a chance. That Hecate would pick me. If I could take you just like that a few more times. Melinoe (Melinoe_2099): You're a monster, Nem! I practically started to fear having to spar with you. But, the best way to get stronger is to train against a stronger opponent. Nemesis (Nemesis_0148): Maybe that's why I've been stagnating. We don't get to fight like we used to. Makes me sick even thinking about it. Melinoe (Melinoe_2100): Wait... you stand around thinking about how we used to spar? Should I be flattered or afraid? Nemesis (Nemesis_0149): Finish your half of the damn poison already! Don't have all night to sit around and stroke your ego. I swear, mortals take after our worst qualities. Melinoe (Melinoe_2101): I wasn't being serious. Though, maybe I'm more self-centered than I realize. I {#Emph}am {#Prev}part-mortal on my mother's side... Nemesis (Nemesis_0150): Makes you different, I will give you that. Now come on, I got to get back. Else Hecate might catch us making nice and then neither one of us will hear the end of it. Nemesis (Nemesis_0151): ...Can feel the poison starting to kick in. You'd better get your ass out of here before I keel over. Melinoe (Melinoe_2102): It'll be our secret. NemesisWithEris01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0239): ...No. One last thing, Eris. Hecate might have promised Mother she'd look after you, but I did no such thing. So get out of here before I get upset. Eris (Eris_0108): Oh please, Nemmie, you're already upset! And I'll come and go as I like, thanks. So damn boring here I can't stand it for long anyways. Nemesis (Nemesis_0240): {#Emph}Come and go as you like? {#Prev}You're jeopardizing the task. Don't be such a child. Eris (Eris_0109): {#Emph}Don't be such a child. {#Prev}Waitwaitwait... does that make you my {#Emph}mom? {#Prev}I never answered to Nyx. Think I'm about to start with {#Emph}you? Nemesis (Nemesis_0241): You'll get what's coming to you either way. Eris (Eris_0110): {#Emph}Ooh! {#Prev}A threat! NemesisWithEris02 Eris (Eris_0111): {#Emph}...Yeah? {#Prev}And just what do you think you're gonna do about it, there, Nemmie? Can't just have it out with me in the middle of your little {#Emph}Crossroads. Nemesis (Nemesis_0242): Can't do anything about it {#Emph}here. {#Prev}But might run into you out there, snooping around. And then you won't get any special treatment. Just another target. Eris (Eris_0112): {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}Nemesis, how could you be so cruel? You're my {#Emph}sister! {#Prev}We don't have to {#Emph}fight! {#Prev}And besides, what makes you think you'd ever {#Emph}catch {#Prev}me? You're too {#Emph}slow. Nemesis (Nemesis_0243): We'll see. Eris (Eris_0113): {#Emph}You'll {#Prev}see. NemesisWithHecate01 Hecate (Hecate_0205): You are required at your post, Nemesis. Or shall you take to openly defying me just as your sister does? I shudder to think what your mother would say of you two. Nemesis (Nemesis_0055): ...You have no right to invoke my mother. None of this would be happening had you fulfilled your role as Handmaiden, and warned her an attack was imminent. Hecate (Hecate_0206): Best watch your mouth or I shall seal it shut! You may continue dwelling on a past you were not witness to, or you may do what is expected of Nyx's daughters. Or whatever Eris is up to! Your choice. Nemesis (Nemesis_0056): {#Emph} NemesisWithHecate02 Hecate (Hecate_0868): ...Insubordination, dereliction of duty, falsehood, intimidation, obstinance, simply setting a negative example for the Shades... anything else, would you say? Nemesis (Nemesis_0417): ...Indulgence, callousness, negligence. Hecate, I... Headmistress, I accept your judgment, and I have no excuses for my deeds. Hecate (Hecate_0869): Well thank the Fates that you would spare me that, at least. Now then, with Nyx returned I ought petition her to take you back. Surely the House of Hades could use another hand? Nemesis (Nemesis_0418): ...Don't. You know as well as I my place is here. But I'm Retribution Incarnate... I'm not here only to stand guard. Hecate (Hecate_0870): Clearly. Much retribution is to come, both above and below in these changing times... and you shall administer it in accordance with Night's will, when and wheresoever you see fit. Nemesis (Nemesis_0419): Retribution whenever and wherever I see fit... you're letting me proceed? What have I done to deserve that? Hecate (Hecate_0871): Nemesis, you hold such answers, not I. Now go, and see to our collective charge that time flows freely forth. Nemesis (Nemesis_0420): ...Consider it done, Headmistress. NemesisWithHypnos01 Hypnos (Hypnos_0006_C): {#Emph}Zzzzz, zzzz{#Prev}... Nemesis (Nemesis_0067): Look at him, all peaceful. Not a care in the world. Could you imagine? Melinoe (Melinoe_0681): He's beautiful. He has this wisdom about him, even asleep. Nyx must have taught you all so much. Nemesis (Nemesis_0068): Not really. Hypnos served in the House of Hades under Mother's care. Ran into him now and then, though. He ever wakes up, hope I can be there when you finally meet. Melinoe (Melinoe_0682_B): Thank you, Nem... NemesisWithIcarus01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0437): ...I know these things, kid. As mortal lives go, yours was in one of the bottom categories. A lot shorter and more miserable than average. So you're making up for it a bit. Icarus (Icarus_0478): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, so you're saying, Goddess, that I'm to have a better life after death because my life {#Emph}before {#Prev}death was in {#Emph}one of the bottom categories {#Prev}according to some ranking system that you have... hey? Nemesis (Nemesis_0438): That's right. Don't waste it, don't get greedy, you'll be fine. Just keep doing what you're doing. Icarus (Icarus_0479): But... I'm so fortunate to be here with you all. A short life in exchange for a good eternity, by your reasoning that isn't a fair trade. What have I done to deserve {#Emph}this...? Nemesis (Nemesis_0439): You haven't asked too many questions, for one thing. And don't take eternity for granted. Icarus (Icarus_0480): I won't. I swear. NemesisWithMoros01 Nemesis (Nemesis_0040): ...And there she is! Shouldn't you be halfway down to Tartarus by now? Moros (Moros_0065): Princess. Thank the Fates you're well. Nemesis and I, we were just catching up. She's told me a lot about you. Melinoe (Melinoe_0906): Oh, great. I can imagine! Though, you never told me about your brother, Nemesis... Nemesis (Nemesis_0041): Got a lot of brothers. What's to tell? Never a good sign when he shows up. Moros (Moros_0066): I'm afraid she's right. NemesisWithMoros02 Nemesis (Nemesis_0232): ...It's my job, Moros. Simple as that. No one else wants to do it. No one else {#Emph}can {#Prev}do it. Moros (Moros_0331): But the retribution you see fit to dole out... how can you be so certain that decisions about such consequences are yours alone? {#Emph}The Fates {#Prev}have quite a bit of say in it as well. Nemesis (Nemesis_0233): What, you think I'm just another mindless puppet our sisters are pushing around? Come on! Their prophecies are vague because they don't really know what's coming. Moros (Moros_0332): Even if that were true, the burden of choosing who deserves what... I wouldn't want to bear it on my own. Otherwise my judgment would have to be perfect at all times; yet we are fallible beings. Nemesis (Nemesis_0234): Speak for yourself. Moros (Moros_0333): I was... NemesisWithMorosAboutRelationships01 Moros (Moros_0334): Quite a predicament we find ourselves in, Sister. Certainly not one I could have anticipated when first I arrived. How odd... so what are we to do? It's not my wish to interfere. Nemesis (Nemesis_0235): Don't worry about that, worry about keeping your mouth shut when she's walking up on us. All casual like she doesn't know what's going on. Melinoe (Melinoe_3241): Wait, what {#Emph}is {#Prev}going on? What are you two talking about, if I may ask? Nemesis (Nemesis_0236): Talking about {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Princess, though it's nothing you need to worry your {#Emph}pretty little head {#Prev}about. You've got enough going on, and... we can sort this out ourselves. If you'll excuse us? Moros (Moros_0335): Wait. No, I would prefer to be forthright. Princess, the issue is we each developed certain feelings for you that, in some cases, can manifest as the kind of envy that Nemesis is committed to punishing. An outcome we are trying to avoid. Melinoe (Melinoe_3242): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}I... I see. Thank you for letting me know. I would never want to hurt either of you. Well maybe {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Nemesis, but only when we spar. How do we resolve this? Our feelings mustn't get in our way. Nemesis (Nemesis_0237): They won't get in our way. And besides, you're busy, not like you were going to devote yourself to one of us, body and soul. Like some mortal that doesn't know any better. Melinoe (Melinoe_3243): Certainly not... why should I or any of us have to choose? We're gods. If you wish to know me better, wonderful. But please accept that I won't let myself be bound to anyone, nor would I expect any different from you. Are we clear? Nemesis (Nemesis_0238): ...Yeah. Moros (Moros_0336): Yes, we are. NemesisWithNarcissus01 Nemesis (NemesisField_0025): ...Look at me when I'm talking to you, you louse. Oh, right. You can't. Must be so sick of staring at yourself by now. Narcissus (Narcissus_0063): The only thing I'm sick of, {#Emph}I-Forget-Your-Name{#Prev}, is you tramping about, disturbing my peace! If you don't have anything nice to say, why don't you {#Emph}go? Nemesis (NemesisField_0026): Still indignant after all this time. Had you learned to show respect, you might not be stuck forever in the company of a buffoon. Well, drink it in. NemesisWithNarcissus01_FollowUp Melinoe (MelinoeField_1145): Are you all right? Nemesis can be rather terse. She didn't hurt you or anything, did she? Narcissus (Narcissus_0152): She said something just there... about how I'm {#Emph}stuck forever in the company of a buffoon. {#Prev}She couldn't have meant... no way. She's jealous. She {#Emph}likes {#Prev}me! And playing hard-to-get. Unlike {#Emph}some {#Prev}people, who come on a little strong. NemesisWithNarcissus02 Nemesis (NemesisField_0423): ...Tell me again I'm playing {#Emph}hard-to-get{#Prev}, and so help me, I will pluck your limbs from you one at a time like they're the petals of an {#Emph}itty bitty flower. {#Prev}How's that sound? Narcissus (Narcissus_0186): Sounds {#Emph}bad{#Prev}, that's how! But also like something somebody playing hard-to-get would say. So I don't know! Now why don't you... {#Emph}tell me some more about yourself? Nemesis (NemesisField_0424): Wait, you want me to {#Emph}stay. {#Prev}Something's come over you, all right. Well, clear enough that my work here is done. Know what's good for you, then don't go breaking any other hearts. Narcissus (Narcissus_0187): Oh {#Emph}yeah. {#Prev}She wants you, man. That much is {#Emph}very {#Prev}clear! Narcissus (Narcissus_0188): Speaking of which... NemesisWithNarcissus02_FollowUp Melinoe (MelinoeField_2033): I don't think Nemesis was playing hard-to-get. She wants to make certain you don't have too much of a good thing! Fortunately, I think she may leave you alone from here out. Narcissus (Narcissus_0189): Is that so? Or are you just trying to get her out of the picture so you can have me to {#Emph}yourself? {#Prev}Expecting special favors just because you helped me with the water situation, {#Emph}eugh! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2034): What? I don't want any special favors from you! Although... I fear I've grown accustomed to the gifts you've offered me each time I visit. How easily we take to certain habits. Narcissus (Narcissus_0190): Yeah well, {#Emph}I've {#Prev}taken to getting a headache whenever you talk about this stuff. I'm gonna keep giving you these because I pity you... and because I {#Emph}don't want 'em. NeoChronosAboutAnomaly01 Chronos (Chronos_1292): Oh down in Oceanus, it is possible you may encounter remnants of my spell, which casts you to a vision out of time. I've not yet found the means to stop {#Emph}that {#Prev}one... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4371): You have no control over your own magick? I wondered whether that was you, or one of your less agreeable selves. Chronos (Chronos_1293): I cannot rightly deny all responsibility, but it is one of {#Emph}those{#Prev}, yes. And your susceptibility, why... perhaps it is some connection which we share. Resistances and sensitivities... NeoChronosAboutBeard01 Chronos (Chronos_1315): I have a question for you, Granddaughter, if you would share your point of view. Do you suppose I ought permit myself to grow a beard? To fit in better with my children, I suppose... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4557): Oh, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}that's largely a matter of taste. Personally, I think growing a beard would mostly make you look older. And, my father and uncles aren't expecting you to {#Emph}be {#Prev}like them. Chronos (Chronos_1316): I do suppose that you are right. I always did prefer a cleaner countenance. Perhaps that is the very reason that my children opted otherwise... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4558): I could see that... NeoChronosAboutBoons01 Chronos (Chronos_1313): You have my children's blessings even now. I am relieved they are still offering their aid, considering the crisis I created, and the harm I brought upon their home... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4556): It seems we're all committed to setting this right, such as we can. The Olympians are no strangers to occasional fights anyhow, although perhaps not quite as bad as this last one. Chronos (Chronos_1314): Yes, well, if we are to exist in this small world together for eternity, we have incentive to alleviate the misery which we ourselves create... I thank you all for the support. NeoChronosAboutChronos01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4554): These other possibilities of you whom I face... it's strange to speak with them as though none of this occurred. Chronos (Chronos_1311): Oh very much so, yes. However, that is the reason they are possibilities and nothing more. Thus you may humor them before proceeding with the quite unpleasant bit. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4555): And it doesn't trouble you to be involved? Personally eliminating something that looks just like you... that {#Emph}is {#Prev}you? Chronos (Chronos_1312): But {#Emph}I {#Prev}am me. For are we not the sum of our experiences, Granddaughter? To reject one's stubborn old thoughts and ways... it can be quite invigorating! So let us carry on. NeoChronosAboutErebus01 Chronos (Chronos_1480): Would you permit that we occasionally meet thus, Granddaughter? I realize our prior conversations here in Erebus were fraught... but perhaps we may yet start anew, here in this life. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4137): I'll have to learn not to attack you here on sight, but let's give it a shot. What is it about this place that's so special? Chronos (Chronos_1481): Well I know how to find it, for one! And you tend to pass through it, for two! At any rate, you now have seen the real possibilities that linger on Olympus and below. Let us eliminate the ones that would have led to ruin. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5181): I do like preventing ruin. You'll be closely watched by Olympus and the Underworld every step of the way. Don't squander the chance you've been given. Chronos (Chronos_1482): I keep telling myself the same! NeoChronosAboutFailure01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5032): One thing I've wondered, Grandfather... for all these possibilities we face... I understand what happens if I prevail, more or less. But if I fail there, what then? Chronos (Chronos_1390): Why, the possibility remains... nothing more! Do not concern yourself with that too much. We know there are a lot of these to go around! You may not prevail in them all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5033): Will I have other chances to correct my mistakes? Return to the same possibility and clear it up? Chronos (Chronos_1391): I do not know! Perhaps not! Perhaps even your {#Emph}failures{#Prev}, as you call them, shall have the desired result. There is much I do not fully understand... embarrassing as that may be. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5034): I'm learning, too. NeoChronosAboutFates01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4141): Grandfather, what of the Three Fates? You truly sent them into exile without knowing where they went? Chronos (Chronos_1088): Well, yes. Another terrible mistake I dearly wish to rectify. I am attempting to locate them in the depths of possibility, except... they could be almost anywhere in there. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4142): There must be something we can do. Are they in any danger? And don't you fear reprisal if we ever find them? Chronos (Chronos_1089): I must admit I do fear somewhat more for {#Emph}me {#Prev}than them. But my attempts to resist the workings of the Fates have never been successful in the past. Should they return, I shall accept whatsoever they may have in store... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4143): We'll figure something out. NeoChronosAboutGoldenAge01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5182): For what it's worth, Grandfather... I think the bitter war you waged against Olympus may have been eye-opening for some of our relatives, at least. They may be gods... but they know they're not perfect. Chronos (Chronos_1483): Well... perfection, to my knowledge, cannot be achieved! Merely striven for. My children could be obstinate about their weaknesses, but most likely they inherited that trait from {#Emph}me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5183): Even still... with the war finally ended, there's much to be done on the surface as well as here. I'm realizing that our renovation effort in the Underworld to some extent is worldwide. Chronos (Chronos_1484): When you get to be my age, you may yet wistfully recall the way the world used to be. It is a curse of growing old, perhaps! May our family yet guide this world into more-prosperous times. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5184): May that be so. NeoChronosAboutKeepsake01 Chronos (Chronos_1290): Why you have there the Time Piece which I gave to you. I thought you would sooner cast it into the lowest depths! The ever-turning clockwork is quite fascinating, is it not? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4369): It is unusual. Is this something that Master Daedalus originally made? To have fitted all these little wheels together so that they could move in perfect harmony... Chronos (Chronos_1291): The mechanisms governing the ever-shifting chambers of Tartarus were a source of inspiration, certainly. This sense of perfect harmony, which you describe... perhaps it can only be achieved in such a form! But it {#Emph}can {#Prev}be achieved. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4370): I suppose I agree. NeoChronosAboutNemesis01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4559): Grandfather, Nemesis mentioned that she may have encountered you in Tartarus. How did that go? Chronos (Chronos_1317): Oh, very well, indeed! I had presumed that only {#Emph}you {#Prev}would have capacity to face unwanted traces of myself, but as it happens, so can {#Emph}Nemesis! And {#Prev}she is very strong. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4560): So she {#Emph}was {#Prev}serious! She confronted one of those traces with your aid, and was able to prevail? What, did she hack him to bits with the Stygian Blade? Chronos (Chronos_1318): Well I prefer not to describe the details, but... she used effective means. This must be possible only because she was so near your path before! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4561): She truly did it... NeoChronosAboutNewJob01 Chronos (Chronos_1085): Your father and his brother Zeus were generous enough to give me an opportunity to be of some small service to the Underworld. The Isles of the Blessed are the finest spots in all Elysium! And I shall certainly keep them that way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4139): That's a high honor you've been given, Grandfather! Some of the greatest mortal heroes must be there. Shall the new responsibility leave you with time enough to meet like this? Chronos (Chronos_1086): Oh I should think it shall be more convenient than before. Elysium is really not that far; you shall have to visit at some point, once your father's Underworld renovations are complete. Which I suppose may take another age. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4140): Father does seem the exacting type. Well, all the best in the new role. Fates willing, see you soon in Tartarus. Chronos (Chronos_1087): Retrace your steps with care! NeoChronosAboutOlympus01 Chronos (Chronos_1035): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, there you are, my girl. As you have faithfully re-traced your path, now I in turn may shift you to a different sort of time in which a remnant of the monstrous Typhon yet looms large over this very place. Ready? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4128): No, not yet. What shall happen if I prevail, let alone fail? Are you certain any of this shall even {#Emph}work? Chronos (Chronos_1031): Well I am relatively certain, yes! The visions I can conjure up of Asphodel; the principle of this is much the same! And you have likewise demonstrated aptitude at breaking free of temporal restraints. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4132): So I'm to launch toward the summit, where I'll find Typhon's forces from another time awaiting me, I'll deal with him as I once did, and you shall do the rest? Chronos (Chronos_1036): If all proceeds as planned, then yes! I shall create a shift as you depart; seek that monster and do battle, so that we may yet eliminate even the {#Emph}possibility {#Prev}of him. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4130): All right, then... off I go! NeoChronosAboutOlympus01_B Chronos (Chronos_1035): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, there you are, my girl. As you have faithfully re-traced your path, now I in turn may shift you to a different sort of time in which a remnant of the monstrous Typhon yet looms large over this very place. Ready? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4133): Not quite. Shall this go much like at my father's House? The way you conjured up a vision of a time that could have been... Chronos (Chronos_1036): If all proceeds as planned, then yes! I shall create a shift as you depart; seek that monster and do battle, so that we may yet eliminate even the possibility of him. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4134): Very well then. NeoChronosAboutOlympus02 Chronos (Chronos_1047): Now then, my girl, you know what to expect! Leap for the summit, all whilst I shall ensure you find the proper stream. NeoChronosAboutPast01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5071): Grandfather, do you ever... experience your old feelings of bitterness and spite...? Toward the gods, about your bygone Golden Age, anything of the sort? Chronos (Chronos_1432): There is no undoing past mistakes. I held to those feelings for a very long time; they shall never leave me in their entirety. But you have given me this other chance. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5072): You seemed so unyielding, so certain of your convictions. Sometimes I still cannot believe the memory of a better past was enough to change your mind. Chronos (Chronos_1433): I was taken aback as well. My memories of seeing you grow up... they represent but a fraction of my existence. But an important one. Change can happen in an instant. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5073): Well may you stay like this. NeoChronosAboutPrometheus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5035): Have you made contact with Prometheus after everything that's happened with us? He and I never really got along. Though I started to sense he wasn't really on your side... Chronos (Chronos_1392): He is {#Emph}intelligent{#Prev}, that one. Perhaps even too much for his own good. I regret that you were forced to come to blows. But, he and I are no longer in touch... to keep conditions closer to the way they were. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5036): He has navigated this situation rather carefully, for all the trouble he's caused the gods. I suppose that all makes sense, if he truly could anticipate every outcome. Chronos (Chronos_1393): That sounds like the Prometheus I know. NeoChronosAboutTartarus01 Chronos (Chronos_1030): Good, you are here at last! Now that you faithfully re-traced your path, I ought be able to manipulate the course of time such that you find yourself within the House whilst a remnant self of mine sits on your father's throne. Ready? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4128): No, not yet. What shall happen if I prevail, let alone fail? Are you certain any of this shall even {#Emph}work? Chronos (Chronos_1031): Well I am relatively certain, yes! The visions I can conjure up of Asphodel; the principle of this is much the same! And you have likewise demonstrated aptitude at breaking free of temporal restraints. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4129): So I'm to enter the House exactly as before, and deal with this remnant Chronos as I have in the past... then you shall do the rest? Chronos (Chronos_1032): Exactly so. First I shall create a shift whilst you enter, then you do as you must with the wrong-headed version of me in {#Emph}there! {#Prev}We shall be {#Emph}rid {#Prev}of the mere {#Emph}possibility {#Prev}of him! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4130): All right, then... off I go! NeoChronosAboutTartarus01_B Chronos (Chronos_1030): Good, you are here at last! Now that you faithfully re-traced your path, I ought be able to manipulate the course of time such that you find yourself within the House whilst a remnant self of mine sits on your father's throne. Ready? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4131): Not quite. Shall this go much like on the summit of Olympus? The way you conjured up a vision of a time that could have been... Chronos (Chronos_1034): Well I certainly believe this ought transpire as you say! Of course, that which awaits within shall perhaps be a little different in each instance that we venture thus... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4134): Very well then. NeoChronosAboutTartarus02 Chronos (Chronos_1046): All right, my girl, this shall unfold exactly as before! You leap into the river, I ensure you end up in the proper stream. NeoChronosAboutTyphon01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5029): How did you reawaken Typhon, Grandfather? I always wondered about that. And to have caught the Olympians by surprise with such a monstrous being... Chronos (Chronos_1387): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, I... would rather not discuss such bitter memories, but... that monster's reawakening was in some ways akin to mine, when Zagreus found me. On a much larger scale, of course. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5030): I see, and I won't press you on it, but... this may be strange to ask, though did you and Typhon know each other well? Chronos (Chronos_1388): He was the Father of All Monsters... showing no concern for his own brood, much less others. He was a means to an end. We were using each other, one could say. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5031): I understand. That's all. Chronos (Chronos_1389): Very well. NeoChronosGift01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4204): Grandfather...? The wounds our family has suffered perhaps shall never truly heal, but... you've at least tried to take some of the initial steps. So here, this is for you. Chronos (Chronos_1284): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, what a precious bottle, thank you, Granddaughter! Nectar from Olympus... but, it does look rather good. The custom still is to provide some sort of gift in kind, is that not so? Then here, if you please. NeoChronosGift02 Chronos (Chronos_1285): Why, this is {#Emph}very {#Prev}generous of you. The House of Hades had a relatively small supply of this, but in my rancor, I... well, had it all smashed up. This bottle I'll be careful to preserve. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4365): Please keep it, knowing Nectar is also to be savored. As for those other bottles, their contents would have soaked into the Earth, so... perhaps the House is a bit brighter now. NeoChronosGift03 Chronos (Chronos_1286): This bottle's golden hue... I cannot imagine a more beauteous color, truly. In this life, I did not realize Olympus delighted in gold the way I do. Although you seem to prefer silver, Granddaughter... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4366): I always have. We work under the Moon and stars... the sheen of silver reminds me of them. But gold now reminds me of Apollo I suppose, and he is quite approachable, in case you haven't met. Chronos (Chronos_1287): Apollo, the musician. He seemed a talented young lad... NeoChronosGift04 Chronos (Chronos_1288): I partook of the Nectar which you previously gave to me, and my, such a wondrous flavor... and so I thought, I've not yet rightly earned such privileges from you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4367): It's not a privilege, it's a simple gift. It's not even the fancy stuff! You'll have to try Ambrosia sometime, especially since you enjoy a nice golden hue. Chronos (Chronos_1289): Ambrosia, yes... perhaps at some point I shall have opportunity to share in it along with this family. But that I know shall take considerable time. No more for now, please, Granddaughter. Not whilst so much is left undone. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4368): Some other time, then. NeoChronosGreeting.VoiceLines Chronos (Chronos_1094): Just in time. Chronos (Chronos_1092): Granddaughter. Chronos (Chronos_1093): There you are. Chronos (Chronos_1095): Greetings. Chronos (Chronos_1355): Good evening! Chronos (Chronos_1359): Oh good! Chronos (Chronos_1360): Onward! Chronos (Chronos_1363): Out of the woods! Chronos (Chronos_1091): How fare you, little one? Chronos (Chronos_1356): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, hello! Chronos (Chronos_1357): You return! Chronos (Chronos_1358): You are back! Chronos (Chronos_1361): {#Emph}Ooh {#Prev}I like your dress. Chronos (Chronos_1362): What a fine dress you have! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4193): Hello Grandfather... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4194): Grandfather... NeoChronosPostEpilogue01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4372): Good news, Grandfather. The Three Fates have returned! And they didn't mention any reprisal when it comes to you. On the contrary, they promised a new age would dawn... Chronos (Chronos_1294): My, but that is good news! Particularly the no-reprisal part, and it is a relief to know the Three have navigated out of temporary exile. But what is this about a {#Emph}new age? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4373): Well... it sounds as though they're not planning to weave as much as they used to. And at some point, the gods apparently will hold less sway over mortals' lives... Chronos (Chronos_1295): But that is reminiscent of the Golden Age in which {#Emph}I {#Prev}ruled...! Of course, once you have lived sufficient aeons you begin to see such patterns circulating constantly. That which is old becomes the new. How fares our family with all this? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4374): I think we're all having to give it some consideration, though we'll have plenty of time. This age may not be soon. Chronos (Chronos_1296): Perhaps not... but even still, this age may arrive before you know it. Take it from me... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4375): Time can move swiftly... NeoChronosPostEpilogue02 Chronos (Chronos_1434): I always did admire mortalkind... I am pleased the Fates decided they shall have a chance at doing things their way. I shall be curious to see what comes of it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5074): Prometheus must have wanted to work with you toward that common goal. Most of what I know of mortals is from the dead... what's the appeal of the living? Chronos (Chronos_1435): Well it is simply that they understand the value of Time... some of them, anyhow. For they have so little, whilst they live and breathe. It is a pity in some ways, but quite inspiring in others. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5075): I do see that in them. NeoChronosWithNemesis01 Chronos (Chronos_1073): ...To think the task of vanquishing me almost fell to you! I am most fortunate that it did not, for I could not have easily resisted Retribution Incarnate; I cannot imagine who could! Nemesis (Nemesis_0431): Me neither, so don't try anything around here. And if you and the Princess need another helping hand cleaning up after yourself, let me know. Been wanting to pitch in. Chronos (Chronos_1074): Then you have heard about the nature of our present course? There are so many possibilities which must be ruled out one by one. If you are truly willing to assist in this... Nemesis (Nemesis_0432): Might as well. Set my mind to it a while back, and can get all the way to Tartarus, just not inside the House. Chronos (Chronos_1075): I can readily address that detail! Nemesis (Nemesis_0433): Tell me more. NPC_Achilles_01.InteractVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_5165): It's been an honor, sir. Achilles (Achilles_0006): The honor is mine.

As a result of your efforts, few remain who would so much as dare to stand against the Underworld now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4708): We have many loyal Shades in every region keeping watch for us, even as we eliminate remaining traces of the threats that caused us so much harm. But there is more to do. Nyx (Nyx_0094): There always is, Melinoë, Princess. Which is why it can be valuable to take such moments to reflect on how far we have come, regardless of how far we have to go. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4709): Thank you, O Night. NyxInChaosAboutChaos01 Nyx (Nyx_0045): Chaos typically avoids involvement in matters concerning the Underworld or the surface realms, so this was an exception. At some point we grew closer as a family, perhaps because we learned from yours. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4669): My family always seems to be on the verge of falling apart. This ordeal may have strengthened our bonds, but... sometimes I fear they shall not hold forever. Nyx (Nyx_0046): Weakened bonds may be reforged. That is the reason I am here with Chaos, to start with the eldest of my kin, and work my way down... a lengthy process, but a necessary one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4670): To a successful outcome. NyxInChaosAboutChildren01 Nyx (Nyx_0075): Some of my children residing in your Crossroads... we have not always interacted in the most productive way. I once thought that this failing was solely mine. But, I see the pattern frequently; a curse of sorts our families share. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4693): Even a single child seems very difficult to rear. I could not have been an easy one, for all my moods. I scarce imagine how it must have been for you with Nemesis, or Eris... Nyx (Nyx_0076): Amongst others, yes. I was the constant in most of my children's lives, yet each has been a mystery. May Queen Persephone's relationship with you not be as tenuous as so many of mine. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4694): Perhaps you could visit your children more often... smooth things over... Nyx (Nyx_0077): My children tend to need their space. But as I learned with Chaos, we have eternity to reconvene, if we so desire. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4695): Something to look forward to. NyxInChaosAboutEris01 Nyx (Nyx_0078): How has my daughter Eris been? I regret that Hecate had to contend with her whilst I was unavailable. I did not think that Strife would choose to stay in any given place. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4696): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, Strife. While Eris has been difficult now and again, despite our differences, we have an understanding. She's... exciting to be around, if nothing else. Nyx (Nyx_0079): That is more than I can say. Yet I have learned from her. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4697): As have I. NyxInChaosAboutFates01 Nyx (Nyx_0059): My many children dwell in darkness, yet I know where most of them reside. But not my daughters the Three Fates. They were cast into exile, to your knowledge? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4679): Yes... Chronos sought to get them out of the way, as part of his conquest. I think he feels quite badly about it now, but that hasn't helped us find them. What can we do? Nyx (Nyx_0060): We look for signs. If the Fated List has been revealing prophecies to you, then some traces of their power to communicate remain. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4680): We'll look for signs. NyxInChaosAboutHades01 Nyx (Nyx_0057): You know, perhaps, I once presided solely over all the Underworld. There came a point when this exceeded my ability, and so my daughters the Three Fates selected someone to assist with governing the realm: Your father. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4677): That was when he split off from his own brothers and foster-sisters... who became the Olympians. It must have been a turbulent time. Nyx (Nyx_0058): It was a time of change. I did not expect for Hades to take to his role as readily, for it was difficult. Or for Persephone to bring life to this place in a welcome way. And now {#Emph}you {#Prev}and your brother... the realm is better off because of you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4678): Thank you, O Nyx. NyxInChaosAboutHypnosWakeUp01 Nyx (Nyx_0070): I trust you are to thank for having shaken my son Hypnos from his slumber and compelled him to return. He had been doing fairly well in his responsibilities, up to a certain point. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4688): Please forgive him, O Night. He must have fallen into such a state as a defensive response when the Titan Chronos struck. I am relieved he's well... assuming that he is? Nyx (Nyx_0071): He is himself. His brother Thanatos is pleased to have him back, as is your own. Thank you for looking after him. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4689): Of course. NyxInChaosAboutNyxAspect01 Nyx (Nyx_0052): You bear my Aspect of the Black Coat. Long has it been since I last wielded it myself. I solve most conflicts indirectly now, but I do think at times about the power of Xinth. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4674): I am deeply honored to have been entrusted with that power, O Night. Most of the conflicts {#Emph}I've {#Prev}encountered recently... only direct approaches seemed to work. Nyx (Nyx_0053): I understand how that may be, or how it may appear. Thus far, the six Nocturnal Arms have served us well. When I myself could not safeguard the realm, they did. NyxInChaosAboutPersephone01 Nyx (Nyx_0124): I have many children, but your mother the Queen, she does not. Therefore it saddens me that she was not available to witness your initial growth. Yet I am pleased that we remember a happier possibility. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5176): We're back in one another's lives, and share some wonderful memories... I couldn't ask for much more. Queen Persephone must be fortunate to have guidance from the most experienced mother that the world has ever known! Nyx (Nyx_0048): It is a learning process even still, though I impart what knowledge I possess. But your mother's intuition for it often is superior to mine. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4672): I look forward to getting to know her better myself. Have the two of you always been close? Nyx (Nyx_0049): Always is a long time. Though, Queen Persephone and I, we have been close since prior to your brother's birth, and ever since. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4673): Thank you for looking out for her. Nyx (Nyx_0050): I always shall. NyxInChaosAboutSelene01 Nyx (Nyx_0090): You have a blessing from my faithful Eye of Night. She is dependable; a quality that I have come to prize above all else. The two of you are close? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4706): She was always watching over me since I was very small. I am proud to call her Sister now, and to have worked with her directly in all this. Nyx (Nyx_0091): From what I gather, the Moon herself feels very much the same. Long may the two of you illuminate each other's greatest strengths. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4707): You honor us. NyxInChaosAboutShrine01 Nyx (Nyx_0064): Your service to the realm may go unseen, but has not gone unnoticed, O Melinoë, Princess. As Fear spreads, so does our influence. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4683): In shadow, I serve; to shadow I return, O Night. And may your will be done. Nyx (Nyx_0065): If that is your own will. NyxInChaosAboutShrine02 Nyx (Nyx_0066): My testaments within the Oath, enacted to the very last. Despite your demonstrated skill, I was uncertain whether you had the capacity. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4684): I was uncertain whether I had the capacity either, O Night. If ever my confidence is unwavering, then there's nothing for me to prove. And nothing to strive for. Nyx (Nyx_0067): Well then, it seems you may require something new to strive for now. I trust more Fear may always spread... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4685): Always. NyxInChaosAboutThanatosAspect01 Nyx (Nyx_0055): That scythe... that must be Zorephet in the Aspect designated to my Thanatos. He may soon desire its return. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4675): ...I had not considered that. Well if the time has come for Zorephet to be with Thanatos once more, then I am grateful for the time we had, and entrust it to you now, O Night. Nyx (Nyx_0056): I did not mean {#Emph}this {#Prev}soon. The Underworld is not yet ready for my son to carry out his work. You are to remain bearer of the Moonstone Axe till then. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4676): {#Emph}Oh... {#Prev}good. NyxInChaosAboutTrophyQuestComplete01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4690): I wished to thank you for the Gifts of the Veil, O Night. To have earned the title of your Champion is perhaps the greatest honor of my life. Nyx (Nyx_0072): You possess the Gifts of the Veil. Then, that is good. How did you come about them, and who bestowed the title? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4691): I... completed the trials you put forth, that Commander Schelemeus put forth on your behalf... unless... Nyx (Nyx_0073): Oh yes, the skeleton, of course. I knew him by a different title once. I trust that he administered my {#Emph}trials{#Prev}, as you call them, capably? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4692): Well, I should think so... yes... Nyx (Nyx_0074): Then, good, my champion. NyxInChaosChat01 Nyx (Nyx_0107): We welcome you unto the solitude of the abyss, Melinoë, Princess. NyxInChaosChat02 Nyx (Nyx_0108): The House of Hades is beginning to grow even stronger than it always was. NyxInChaosChat03 Nyx (Nyx_0109): Chaos imagined that you would arrive, and now you stand before us. NyxInChaosChat04 Nyx (Nyx_0110): Your father's House can grow quite boisterous, so I seek solace in these depths. NyxInChaosChat05 Nyx (Nyx_0111): Your brother has been doing well, and often wonders how you fare. NyxInChaosChat06 Nyx (Nyx_0112): Hypnos asked about you recently, as though I had not already told him. NyxInChaosChat07 Nyx (Nyx_0113): I trust that Eris has not been {#Emph}too {#Prev}much of an impediment of late. NyxInChaosChat08 Nyx (Nyx_0114): Not long ago I had encountered Nemesis whilst here, and we each spoke of you. NyxInChaosChat09 Nyx (Nyx_0115): The Fated List remains within your care, and you have Moros to watch over it. NyxInChaosChat10 Nyx (Nyx_0116): May the Nocturnal Arms continue to make manifest your will and wrath. NyxInChaosChat11 Nyx (Nyx_0117): Chaos and I have aeons of history to discuss, so please do not wait up. NyxInChaosChat12 Nyx (Nyx_0118): This is a very fearsome night, and we have you and all your Vows to thank for it. NyxInChaosChat13 Nyx (Nyx_0119): May the blessing of faithful Selene guide you well beyond this point. NyxInChaosChat14 Nyx (Nyx_0120): Persephone the Queen is often filled with joy that you have reunited finally. NyxInChaosChat15 Nyx (Nyx_0121): In our obscurity lies strength. Seek to be valuable, not to be known. NyxInChaosPostEpilogue01 Nyx (Nyx_0061): My daughters have returned to us. Knowing them, they gave you the impression that they did so on their own. However, if not for your efforts with the Fated List, they might have never found their way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4681): Each prophecy fulfilled, a signal to the Fates... a beacon in the darkness of their exile, something of the sort? Nyx (Nyx_0062): That is a reasonable way to think of it. You have done my family a great service, O Melinoë, Princess. The depth of my gratitude is beyond my means to describe. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4682): You honor me, O Night. May all of us cease losing family members for a while. Nyx (Nyx_0063): May that be so. NyxNightmare01 Empty (/EmptyCue): . . . . Hades (Hades_0018): ...Nyx? Empty (/EmptyCue): . . . . Hades (Hades_0019): Nyx? {#Emph}Nyx! Answer me! {#Prev}Blast.... NyxWithHecate01 Nyx (Nyx_0035): Hecate, you have done all I could have asked, and more. My wayward children here were safe within your care. And by the wisdom of your counsel, I am free. Hecate (Hecate_0872): You always have been generous, O Nyx. Above all, I am grateful you returned to us. What of your children, are they heading back with you? Nyx (Nyx_0036): They are grown, and I have much to do. If it is their wish to remain within these Crossroads, then I ask that you comply. I trust they have not been a burden? Hecate (Hecate_0873): ...Oh, no, of course not. Nyx (Nyx_0037): Then good. I cannot say when next I shall return. Farewell. Hecate (Hecate_0874): Farewell, O Nyx. NyxWithNemesis01 Nyx (Nyx_0038): ...I see you all appear to be pursuing your responsibilities with diligence. Each child of mine, a valuable asset to the Witch of the Crossroads in my absence. Nemesis (Nemesis_0428): ...Whatever she says goes, Mother. We did what we could. Nyx (Nyx_0039): And Hypnos, he was here throughout this whole ordeal as well. Be certain to pay due respect to Hecate. You may remain here for the time, so long as more is to be done, and that you all continue to cooperate. Are we understood? Nemesis (Nemesis_0429): ...Of course, Mother. We cooperate here all the time. Nyx (Nyx_0040): Of that, I am now certain. But I cannot remain to see it with my own eyes, for the realm has need of me below. Farewell, and may darkness guide you where moonlight cannot. Nemesis (Nemesis_0430): Bye, Mother... O_Intro.EnterVoiceLines[3] Melinoe (Melinoe_0804): A harbor... Melinoe (Melinoe_0805): The docks...

Melinoe (MelinoeField_5052): {#Emph} OdysseusAboutAdvice01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0035): You run into anything bad whilst you're out there, you come talk to me about it. Chances are I've seen it, fought it, otherwise gotten past it, and can offer some advice. Melinoe (Melinoe_0450): Definitely. OdysseusAboutArtemis01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0377): You and the Goddess Artemis make quite a force out there by all accounts. And you sing together beautifully, at that...! Olympus sent her to check up on us, then, aye? Melinoe (Melinoe_4102): I think so, yes. But I have complete trust in her if that's what you're wondering. She tells Olympus no more than they need to know to rest assured about our partnership. Odysseus (Odysseus_0378): She is by nature rather cautious, isn't she? Well for my part, I'm pleased you have in her not just an ally... but a friend. Melinoe (Melinoe_4103): For my part, too. OdysseusAboutAssistance01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0543): If I may confide something, Goddess? Throughout my mortal life, I never wanted to depend on anyone. But, I always had aid... from great warriors, sailors, even gods! Yet... even still, it's difficult to ask assistance in personal matters. Melinoe (Melinoe_5081): I know the feeling well. A sense of weakness... the inability to do something oneself. We strive for self-sufficience and we don't wish to heap our troubles on our comrades. Odysseus (Odysseus_0544): Aye, we know it {#Emph}isn't {#Prev}weakness, but... we have to fight our instincts there a bit, don't we? Though mainly, what I wished to say was, {#Emph}thank you. {#Prev}For the aid you've given me. You needn't have gone out of your way. Melinoe (Melinoe_5082): Of course. We've come this far together. OdysseusAboutAthena01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0393): We've not too many Shades all the way out on the Olympus front, only a few brave souls. They're saying that you met Lady Athena face-to-face, how is she holding up? Melinoe (Melinoe_4185): Considering she's holding back great numbers of the Titan's forces single-handedly, she seems remarkably composed. Odysseus (Odysseus_0394): I'd ask you thank her for the times she may have saved my skin, but... discretion's for the best. Melinoe (Melinoe_4186): You sure I shouldn't say anything? Odysseus (Odysseus_0395): Aye. OdysseusAboutAxe01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0044): You're really using that labrys, Goddess? Or, pardon, what you call the Moonstone Axe. No disrespect, but isn't it... a little much? Not even Ajax could have wielded such a thing. Melinoe (Melinoe_0059): Weren't you the one who taught me to improvise, Odysseus? I'll use whatever means at my disposal. Who is Ajax? Odysseus (Odysseus_0045): Who's {#Emph}Ajax? {#Prev}Only the biggest lad I've ever met, {#Emph}who's Ajax{#Prev}. But I forget myself, for he didn't have the strength of Hades flowing through him. Melinoe (Melinoe_0219): {#Emph}Hm. OdysseusAboutBiomeMap01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0354): How has our map been working out for you thus far? You reached Oceanus, sure, though the path ahead grows still more labyrinthine based on all we've ascertained. Melinoe (Melinoe_4089): There seem as many pathways in the Underworld as stars in the night sky... yet your map has shown the way precisely. You must have an excellent sense of direction. Odysseus (Odysseus_0355): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}I don't know, but if our map helps overcompensate for my own lack, then good. Though, careful when you reach the Mourning Fields. No map shall benefit you {#Emph}there. Melinoe (Melinoe_4090): What of the golden petals? Odysseus (Odysseus_0356): Do watch for those. OdysseusAboutBiomeMap02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0357): We've ceased attempts to find a good route through Elysium, hence your somewhat unconventional way into Tartarus. The old administrative corridor remains neglected still? Melinoe (Melinoe_4091): Completely deserted, to the point of being rather peaceful. Drops me right into the maintenance sector, just as you mapped out. Odysseus (Odysseus_0358): Oh, our Shades deserve the greatest share of credit for {#Emph}that {#Prev}feat, though I'll take {#Emph}some {#Prev}if you insist. Your task is difficult enough that we didn't need you getting lost along the way. Melinoe (Melinoe_4092): No objections here. OdysseusAboutBows01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0131): If I may be so bold, Goddess? You witches are reliant on your magick when it comes to fighting from afar. Ever think of taking up the bow again? I could give you some pointers... Melinoe (Melinoe_0480): We don't discuss the bow, Odysseus. I'm still recovering from the last time you gave me some of those pointers about it. Odysseus (Odysseus_0132): Ah, well. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. A single weakness in your case, perhaps. Melinoe (Melinoe_0481): Doesn't count. OdysseusAboutCerberus01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0254): A word of caution, Goddess, in regard to an impediment you may confront when finally you reach the far end of the Mourning Fields. Reports suggest it's some sort of infernal beast... a big one. Our Shades had to stay very far away. Melinoe (Melinoe_3324): We knew there was a secure entrance into Tartarus around that point... this beast must be how come the tunnel stays secure. Have we any details? Odysseus (Odysseus_0255): Well it has several fire-spitting maws, allegedly, which troublingly fits the profile of your father's household pet. Though, if this really is the case... may it simply let you pass! Melinoe (Melinoe_3325): What, you mean Cerberus himself guards the entrance to Tartarus? Why would he do the bidding of Chronos? Impossible. Odysseus (Odysseus_0256): The reports are inconclusive, but I thought you should know. OdysseusAboutCerberus01_B Odysseus (Odysseus_0254): A word of caution, Goddess, in regard to an impediment you may confront when finally you reach the far end of the Mourning Fields. Reports suggest it's some sort of infernal beast... a big one. Our Shades had to stay very far away. Melinoe (Melinoe_3326): I can corroborate our Shades' reports. And add that this infernal beast is none other than Cerberus, my father's household pet... acting on instinct and pure rage. Odysseus (Odysseus_0257): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, I feared as much. For they said the beast had several fire-spitting maws. I don't suppose he recognized you after all this time, and... let you pass...? Melinoe (Melinoe_3327): He did neither of those things. I have to help him. OdysseusAboutCharybdis01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3316): I must admit, on some occasion all the tales you told about the sea-monster Charybdis felt almost beyond belief. Now having faced the blasted thing, I feel you sold it short. Odysseus (Odysseus_0410): What, faced Charybdis? {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, Goddess. I'd heard reports about some sort of whirlpool within Poseidon's Rift and now my fear's confirmed. At least she didn't swallow you outright...! Melinoe (Melinoe_4199): Any practical advice on how to deal with her? Odysseus (Odysseus_0411): Avoid her at all costs? OdysseusAboutCharybdis01_B Melinoe (Melinoe_3316): I must admit, on some occasion all the tales you told about the sea-monster Charybdis felt almost beyond belief. Now having faced the blasted thing, I feel you sold it short. Odysseus (Odysseus_0410): What, faced Charybdis? {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, Goddess. I'd heard reports about some sort of whirlpool within Poseidon's Rift and now my fear's confirmed. At least she didn't swallow you outright...! Melinoe (Melinoe_4199): Any practical advice on how to deal with her? Odysseus (Odysseus_0411): Avoid her at all costs? OdysseusAboutCharybdis02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0412): Perhaps I could have offered more-creative ways of navigating past Charybdis in your voyages when last we spoke of her. I realize sailing around may not be possible... Melinoe (Melinoe_4200): No, it is not. I thought the main threat was to fall into that maw of hers... but I've found that her many thrashing arms or tentacles present more of a problem. Odysseus (Odysseus_0413): Then worry about {#Emph}them. {#Prev}Perhaps you could isolate a couple at a time, use whatever space you have to keep moving. Poke her in the arms enough and she ought to back off. Melinoe (Melinoe_4201): I can relate to that. OdysseusAboutChronos01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0135): We've multiple reports the armies of Chronos are massing on the surface up there, and not yet caught wind of your efforts. At least you aren't contending with {#Emph}them{#Prev}, aye? Melinoe (Melinoe_2172): My route through the Underworld is fraught in its own right, but yes, it's comforting to know that army of traitors remains ignorant of me. Odysseus (Odysseus_0136): There's not a downward route that's more discreet. Those thorny chaps in the woods, they've no love for Chronos either, at least. Melinoe (Melinoe_2173): I'll get past them. OdysseusAboutChronos02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0161): Got a most troubling report, a sighting in the pathways on the outskirts of Erebus. Did our eyes out there see true? Melinoe (Melinoe_2216): If it's Chronos that they saw, then yes. Now at least I know what he looks like; but he knows {#Emph}me{#Prev}, in turn. Why do you think he let me go? Have we been compromised? Odysseus (Odysseus_0162): No one gets into the Crossroads whom we don't permit, or can even know we're here... not even him. So he's sniffing around? Fine. He wastes {#Emph}his {#Prev}time whilst {#Emph}you {#Prev}get closer to your mark. Melinoe (Melinoe_2217): Is he even capable of wasting time...? OdysseusAboutChronosAnomaly01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0242): You look as though you've seen a ghost, if you'll forgive the very antiquated mortal turn-of-phrase, Goddess. So we'd say to someone looking disconcerted. Things all right? Melinoe (Melinoe_3304): Yes and no; I saw Chronos out there. I thought he had me, but I broke free from his spell. This was in Oceanus, though I also caught him snooping near the pathways out of Erebus. Odysseus (Odysseus_0243): Damn it... our reports said nothing of the sort, but then... some of our Shade informants haven't yet returned. We had expected Chronos to stay put in the lowest reaches. You must have caused enough of a stir to catch his notice. Melinoe (Melinoe_3305): I've hardly been discreet in my approach. Is there truly no other way? Odysseus (Odysseus_0244): We reckon not. We're counting on him thinking you're inconsequential to his plans. As for our own, I shall go over this with the good witch. Be safe, and cheers for the report. Melinoe (Melinoe_3306): Of course. OdysseusAboutChronosBossL01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0230): You found him, Goddess... your look says it all, along with my reports. Gave him something to remember you by, I reckon, even if the battle didn't go your way... Melinoe (Melinoe_3094): Chronos was exactly where we expected... but I could not foresee his every technique. And my ability to withstand his magick went only so far. Odysseus (Odysseus_0231): Well, fortunately for you, the old are often rather slow to learn. You run into him a few more times like that, you'll soon know every trick he's got. Though... do be very careful out there, aye? Melinoe (Melinoe_3095): Aye... OdysseusAboutChronosBossTactics01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0420): Our Shades have proved unable to approach the House of Hades, so they've no reports about the way the Titan fights. I'm afraid you're on your own for that one, Goddess... Melinoe (Melinoe_4211): Oh I can give you a report myself. He looks rather frail, but he's quick. His scythe has significant reach, and he can freeze me at a moment's notice, but only for so long. And his forces are present to ensure I'm outnumbered. Odysseus (Odysseus_0421): {#Emph}Freeze you... {#Prev}meaning he tries to stop you using {#Emph}time{#Prev}, but can't hold you for long. Just as the good witch thought then, aye? It means his power over you is limited; {#Emph}you're {#Prev}the one that can't be stopped, not {#Emph}him. Melinoe (Melinoe_4212): It hasn't felt that way to me as yet. OdysseusAboutChronosBossW01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0228): You got him, didn't you? Killed the bastard, for... one night, at least. The first report I heard, I scarce believed, but by the third or fourth, I'd come around. {#Emph}Well done{#Prev}, Goddess! Melinoe (Melinoe_2967): I'd not be surprised if our reports already say he's returned. But I got what I needed for now. And a little bit of payback, I suppose. Odysseus (Odysseus_0229): Aye, and he'll be sore about it, I expect, but... even though we're not there yet... we needed this, I think. {#Emph}You {#Prev}needed this. On to the next phase then? Melinoe (Melinoe_2968): Oh, yes. OdysseusAboutCirce01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3313): During a recent voyage, I found Circe the Enchantress on her little isle, evidently safe from all the turmoil at sea. Don't you two know each other fairly well? Odysseus (Odysseus_0261): In life and death we can but strive to know each other well, Goddess.... Though I knew Circe... just a bit, at least; as casual acquaintances is all, why do you ask? Melinoe (Melinoe_3314): Oh just in case you wanted me to tell her anything when next we met, as she may be providing some assistance when I navigate the Rift of Thessaly. Odysseus (Odysseus_0262): No, no need to tell her anything. Best keep your focus on the task at hand. Melinoe (Melinoe_3315): Noted. OdysseusAboutCirce02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3330): Odysseus, what happened between you and Circe, anyhow? She mentioned you, said nothing in particular, except... I sensed some pain. There {#Emph}and {#Prev}here. Odysseus (Odysseus_0263): It's not a pain entirely, Goddess. When I was whole, returning from a war, I found Circe and her isle, and... I lived there for about a year. She housed me and my men, and we grew close. I learned a lot from her, and then... we left. Melinoe (Melinoe_3331): Your voyage home. You stopped for an entire year, then voyaged on and never saw her again... Odysseus (Odysseus_0264): Well, aye, until I saw her again here. It's just... it's in the past, and for the both of us, I think. Not every such relationship need last eternally. Melinoe (Melinoe_3332): I understand, I think... OdysseusAboutCosmetics01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0183): That renewal project that we used to talk about? I still think of it all the time, these Crossroads flourishing with worldly delights...! Melinoe (Melinoe_3800): I still think about it, too, and made some preliminary steps of late. The well-being of every last Shade in this place is important to our goal. Odysseus (Odysseus_0184): But, we've more pressing matters now, it seems. What, you intend to stop fighting Chronos just to spruce up the surroundings here? Melinoe (Melinoe_3801): Not exactly. I have a delegate in mind. Odysseus (Odysseus_0185): Interesting... OdysseusAboutCosmetics02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0186): You've recruited that one shifty-looking Shade for the renewal project! A scrappy start is still a start, I'm... pleased to see it underway! Melinoe (Melinoe_3802): I thought you might say that! It gives Dora something practical to do. And means the project needn't be a hopeless dream. Odysseus (Odysseus_0187): A sound plan, Goddess. OdysseusAboutCrossroads01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0434): Note we have several projects to expand these Crossroads that could use your blessings when you get the opportunity, Goddess. Your choice, and there's no urgency at all. Melinoe (Melinoe_4222): Eventually the waters in the hot springs and the fishing pier need to be purified, not to mention the taverna grounds. Have you a preferential order between those? Odysseus (Odysseus_0435): Well you know the Shades, they like to gather up in the taverna, so I reckon I'd start there... or whichever one is simplest for you! Melinoe (Melinoe_4223): I'll look into it. OdysseusAboutDragonMiniBoss01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4195): Did you ever face Dracons in your mortal days, Odysseus? The kind that fly about on wings much like a bat's, but huge. They've become quite a problem on Olympus recently. Odysseus (Odysseus_0407): My home was mountainous though we were mostly free from flying beasts. Still, in my experience they all have something in common: Susceptibility to being shot out of the sky. Melinoe (Melinoe_4196): I can see that. OdysseusAboutDragonMiniBoss01_B Melinoe (Melinoe_4195): Did you ever face Dracons in your mortal days, Odysseus? The kind that fly about on wings much like a bat's, but huge. They've become quite a problem on Olympus recently. Odysseus (Odysseus_0407): My home was mountainous though we were mostly free from flying beasts. Still, in my experience they all have something in common: Susceptibility to being shot out of the sky. Melinoe (Melinoe_4196): I can see that. OdysseusAboutErebus01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0028): Those thorny chaps you've been dealing with... their numbers grow in each report I get. If you've thoughts on how we could have better prepared you... Melinoe (Melinoe_0056): I'll share my thoughts when necessary, Odysseus. For the moment, I'm sorting through them still. Odysseus (Odysseus_0029): Aye, best not to speak without prepared remarks. I understand the feeling only too well. You'll keep me posted, though? Melinoe (Melinoe_0057): I will. OdysseusAboutEris01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3335): Have you caught Eris snooping through our plans or anything? Have to be even more discreet with her about... Odysseus (Odysseus_0270): She stays over in her little corner mostly, Goddess, but I've been keeping my eye on her in case of anything. As long as she undermines our efforts well out of earshot... Melinoe (Melinoe_3336): We can plan around it, you mean. Odysseus (Odysseus_0271): Aye. OdysseusAboutErisBoss01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0272): Good, you're back. According to reports, Eris flew off toward the Rift of Thessaly on an intercept course with the fleet. Except I don't think that she's headed there to help. Not {#Emph}you{#Prev}, at least. Melinoe (Melinoe_3311): These reports aren't of much benefit to me after the fact. But at least I can confirm they're accurate. How preposterous that we cannot rid ourselves of her. Odysseus (Odysseus_0273): All we can do is work with what we've got. I apologize that we could not forewarn you on this one. We'll continue investigating her motives and accomplices. Melinoe (Melinoe_3312): I'm not convinced she has any of either. OdysseusAboutErisBossTactics01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0422): Eris making problems for you on the surface, isn't she... whilst so close to your goal. Well if it's any reassurance, we know the workings of her weapon better than she does. She must run out of ammunition frequently... Melinoe (Melinoe_4213): She does. Sometimes she jams the mechanism, gets distracted getting it unstuck. Should use those opportunities to strike. Not much place for taking cover anyhow. Odysseus (Odysseus_0423): She's trying to intimidate you. With the Rail of Adamant, she's much more dangerous at range. Perhaps you could outflank or outmaneuver her somehow... Melinoe (Melinoe_4214): It's worth a shot. OdysseusAboutErisCurse01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0235): Word has it Eris has been spotted in the depths along your path... intelligence you likely could have used {#Emph}before {#Prev}she made your journey worse for you. Apologies, Goddess... Melinoe (Melinoe_3096): She's trying to stop me, or at least slow me down. And... she knows too much about our intentions. What do we do? Children of Nyx are supposed to be on {#Emph}our {#Prev}side. Odysseus (Odysseus_0236): She doesn't know the {#Emph}half {#Prev}of what we've planned. Besides, her boredom drives her more than anything. Run into her a few more times, she'll soon grow sick of it and go away. Melinoe (Melinoe_3097): So deems the Great Tactician...? Odysseus (Odysseus_0237): Aye, Goddess. OdysseusAboutFamiliars01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3333): Hey, where'd Hecuba and Gale scamper off to? I'd ask Headmistress but she doesn't like it when I show even the slightest concern for her Familiars. {#Emph}They're fine, Melinoë. Odysseus (Odysseus_0268): Oh they probably {#Emph}are {#Prev}fine! Each on a little scouting expedition at my own behest, under the auspices of the good witch of course. The hound goes one way, the polecat another. Melinoe (Melinoe_3334): Those little scouting expeditions always seem to last a while. I'll have to keep an eye out for them, then. Odysseus (Odysseus_0269): Where they're going, they shall appreciate seeing a friendly face. OdysseusAboutFields01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0245): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, you made it to the Mourning Fields, good! Tartarus is not too far behind... directly underneath, in fact, but the ingress is a bit of a walk from your initial drop... Melinoe (Melinoe_3318): A bit of a walk, fraught with soul-devouring Daemons and other life-hating fiends. Too powerful to be imprisoned so they're free to wander there, something like that? Odysseus (Odysseus_0246): We mortals just love the Fields, Goddess! A place to rid oneself of misery — or drown in it. A perfect spot for Daemons, only {#Emph}some {#Prev}of which shall leave you be. Melinoe (Melinoe_3319): That has been my experience. OdysseusAboutFogEmitter01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0188): What was the source of your misfortune, that you're back with such a scowl? Some Wailers, or Caskets, perhaps? Oh... a {#Emph}Shadow-Spiller. Melinoe (Melinoe_2187): Yes, a Shadow-Spiller. I lost my way against one. Can hardly see a thing when they're about! I should be stronger than this... Odysseus (Odysseus_0189): You've strength enough. They merely test your nerve. Foes such as that are to be faced head-on, no hesitation. Set for another go? Melinoe (Melinoe_2188): I am. OdysseusAboutGameStats01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0527): Our Record Keeper there once worked in a secure Administrative Chamber in your father's halls, if you can believe it, Goddess. Must have been quite the experience! Melinoe (Melinoe_4226): My father must have prized such analytical minds as that one's. Perhaps once all of this is over, the Record Keeper could return to working in my father's House. Odysseus (Odysseus_0528): I'd floated that idea myself, to which the Record Keeper cowered, for some reason, and refused to talk to me again! Bit of an odd one, aye? Melinoe (Melinoe_4227): Probably been through quite a bit. OdysseusAboutGarden01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0265): Your little garden there has cheered this old place up a bit, Goddess! In trying times, such simple pleasures oft are first to fade. Precisely when they're needed most. Melinoe (Melinoe_3309): Thank you, and pleased to hear it, Great Tactician. Though, I'd not expected a mere flower patch to leave such an impression on someone like you. Odysseus (Odysseus_0266): Come now, all I {#Emph}do {#Prev}is pay attention to details. Victory comes to those whose hearts are predisposed. I mean, look at us, our spirits are quite literally all we have; and now, flowers! Melinoe (Melinoe_3310): Help keep an eye on them for me, would you? Odysseus (Odysseus_0267): Of course. OdysseusAboutGoldElemental01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3351): Not the report I wished to deliver, though I've some idea of what Chronos has been doing with all of his excess Gold... I was trounced last night by a gigantic bag of coins. Odysseus (Odysseus_0292): A {#Emph}Goldwrath{#Prev}, then! I reckon if you're Chronos, and you've got a limitless supply of shiny metal... might as well use some of them for your profane research. {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, but you were close... Melinoe (Melinoe_3352): That I was... OdysseusAboutHecate01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0456): You've known Headmistress quite a while, haven't you? Where did you meet, I always wanted to ask? Odysseus (Odysseus_0040): {#Emph}Heh{#Prev}, well. All I can say is that I was... alone. At the end of one life, and the start of another. Lost. She appeared before me then, in all her splendor, and... she revealed to me a path I hadn't seen. Melinoe (Melinoe_0457): That all sounds very figurative. Were you already dead? Odysseus (Odysseus_0041): I was. She told me she could grant me a new life. She needed a tactician knowledgeable of the surface. I thought, who am I to turn a goddess down? I followed her. It's been a while now. Melinoe (Melinoe_0458): A good while I'm sure. OdysseusAboutHecateKidnapped01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0594): Not seen the good witch recently, have you, Goddess? You'd tell me if there was any reason for concern...? Melinoe (Melinoe_5052): No need to worry about a thing. OdysseusAboutHeracles01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2220): I encountered mighty Heracles on the surface. No mistaking him! Though I thought he was dead. He seemed very much alive, on the outside, anyway. And still in service to the gods... Odysseus (Odysseus_0211): The great {#Emph}Heracles... {#Prev}that's a complicated one. Part {#Emph}man{#Prev}, part {#Emph}god... {#Prev}part monster too, perhaps. The rules of death don't quite apply to him. What did he want? He give you any trouble? Melinoe (Melinoe_2221): He was quite brusque. Told me to stay out of his way. Sounds like he has a task of his own. Maybe Olympus isn't counting on me to succeed... Odysseus (Odysseus_0212): {#Emph}Eh, {#Prev}don't take it personally. You have wise relatives, and ruthless ones. They may not like their odds hinging on any one individual. And... do watch yourself with Heracles, aye? Melinoe (Melinoe_2222): Aye... OdysseusAboutHermes01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0204): So, there's a bit of a new wrinkle in our plans. We've been able to verify some of the details that Master Hermes suggested to you, about what's... brewing on the surface. Melinoe (Melinoe_2223): Please tell me what you may... and if you think it wise for me to deviate from my objective to address whatever's going on up there. Odysseus (Odysseus_0205): The forces of Chronos gather to sail on Olympus through a channel cut across the land. You're poised to disrupt the enemy ranks from within. Aid Olympus, and your chances against Chronos may improve. Melinoe (Melinoe_2224): The warded pathway leading up should drop me right into the heart of our foe's forward garrison. It seems so reckless... Odysseus (Odysseus_0206): Call it a calculated risk. OdysseusAboutHypnos01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2209): Odysseus, have you ever seen Hypnos so much as shift in his sleep? I know he's been through a lot, but still... Odysseus (Odysseus_0151): Can't say I have! Been just that way from the night the good witch got him. The snoring I became accustomed to eventually... Melinoe (Melinoe_2210): Think he's ever going to wake? None of the incantations we've tried have had any effect. Odysseus (Odysseus_0152): He's Sleep itself, isn't he? OdysseusAboutHypnosWakeUp01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0622): So blasted quiet now... at first I couldn't tell what changed, till I recalled Hypnos had gone away. I was so accustomed to always hearing him in the background... Melinoe (Melinoe_5244): Wait, you miss his ceaseless snoring? You of everyone at the Crossroads were in closest proximity, so I figured you'd be the most pleased that he's finally home. Odysseus (Odysseus_0623): Pleased for {#Emph}him{#Prev}, aye, and the auditory change isn't a {#Emph}bad {#Prev}one, but... even when things improve, it can be an adjustment. Melinoe (Melinoe_5245): I'll miss him too, mostly... OdysseusAboutIcarus01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0396): I take it {#Emph}you're {#Prev}the reason Icarus is back. Always seemed like a good lad! I kept my mouth shut at the time but I was disappointed when he left. Melinoe (Melinoe_4508): It was his choice to make. I think he always valued your experience as well. He didn't get to have adventures like you back when he was alive. Odysseus (Odysseus_0397): Who does, Goddess? Though clearly he picked up some know-how whilst away. Even got {#Emph}wings {#Prev}to show for it! Think he might have an extra set? Melinoe (Melinoe_4509): Oh I don't know... Odysseus (Odysseus_0083): Ah well... OdysseusAboutKeepsake01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0400): Have the old Knuckle Bones been of some use, Goddess? Must look a little worn, but... brought me fortune many times, in games of chance and when my life was on the line. Melinoe (Melinoe_4189): Odysseus, if they were dear to you all through your life, why would you give them to me now? No matter how useful they still may be, which is quite a bit! Odysseus (Odysseus_0401): Come now, nothing would please me more than for you to succeed. If some small token of my past could be of benefit, it's yours. Besides, I got a Nectar bottle in exchange! Melinoe (Melinoe_4190): It wasn't meant to be a trade. Odysseus (Odysseus_0402): Just keep the blasted Bones. OdysseusAboutLamia01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0286): Can you confirm a sighting of Queen Lamia down in the Mourning Fields, Goddess? I'd caution you to watch for signs of slithering about, except I reckon I may be too late... Melinoe (Melinoe_3346): I must have drawn her out of her den, yes. That or I barged into it, but either way, her magick proved too much for me last night... Odysseus (Odysseus_0287): Too much even for {#Emph}you? {#Prev}Nay. OdysseusAboutLosingToHecate01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0143): The good witch put you to the test out there, did she? Quite an intensive teaching style, I always thought. She expects a lot from you, but that's just what happens when you've such potential. Melinoe (Melinoe_2185): Then she must be disappointed with my results, although she's careful not to show it. Same as you, Odysseus. Odysseus (Odysseus_0144): Come, I know how dispiriting it is to chart one's course, only to lose one's way. We rarely get where we must go the fastest way we can. Melinoe (Melinoe_2186): As long as we get there at all. OdysseusAboutMailbox01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0145): See Charon's latest haul, Goddess? Shipment by the riverside, all yours. And we're watching the rivers, making certain this won't be the last. Melinoe (Melinoe_2335): Lord Charon risks aiding my efforts in such a direct way. Are we able to compensate him at all? Odysseus (Odysseus_0146): Aye, with what Gold we've gathered recently. He really means to melt down every last one of those Chronos coins we can get our hands on. Melinoe (Melinoe_2336): Oh yes. OdysseusAboutMailbox02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0427): You must be Charon's finest customer. I reckon he enjoys the frequent visits to the Underworld, in his way. At least it's mostly cargo shipments now, not just confused, complaining Shades of the recently deceased... Melinoe (Melinoe_4217): Did you accept your death with dignity when it was finally your time, Odysseus? You seem as though you would have clung to life with all your might. Odysseus (Odysseus_0428): Oh, I'd gotten on in years by then. Still didn't care much for the circumstances, not that anybody does! Though, I did appreciate the opportunity to meet the fearsome Boatman at long last, and ride into the Underworld the {#Emph}proper {#Prev}way. Melinoe (Melinoe_4218): You've mentioned that you'd gone into the Underworld and back while you still lived. Lord Charon didn't take you then? Odysseus (Odysseus_0429): He certainly did not! A tale for another night, perhaps. OdysseusAboutMood01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0180): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}Hail, Goddess, I, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}didn't notice your approach. Half-inclined to blame the onset of the years, but I've no such excuses in this state. Melinoe (Melinoe_2199): I didn't mean to startle you. How's the mood been around here, everything all right? Odysseus (Odysseus_0181): Mood and everything is well enough. Our ranks swell with Shades moved by the tale that the Princess of the Underworld has returned, with vengeance on her mind. Melinoe (Melinoe_2200): Nothing like a bit of sworn vengeance to inspire the masses. Though, what about you? Odysseus (Odysseus_0182): Everything's shipshape with me; especially after a brief reprieve right here. Be well, Goddess. Melinoe (Melinoe_2201): You, too. OdysseusAboutMoros01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0153): So {#Emph}Doom {#Prev}has come to stay with us a bit? My last and only other brush with him did not resolve {#Emph}particularly {#Prev}well, so... I'll just keep my distance, if that's quite all right. Melinoe (Melinoe_2211): All children of Nyx are welcome in these Crossroads. Though I think Lord Moros wishes to keep {#Emph}his {#Prev}distance, too. Odysseus (Odysseus_0154): No objections here! OdysseusAboutMountains01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0033): Our good witch there knows you've a mountain of a journey ahead of you, Goddess. You hear about our mountains on the surface? Big tall rocks? Melinoe (Melinoe_0448): What, you mean like Mount Olympus, or Mount Othrys? Of course I've heard of them! They reach up to the sky. I can only imagine. Odysseus (Odysseus_0034): You look up from the base to the peak, you'll swear they can't be climbed, {#Emph}but! {#Prev}If you only concern yourself with making that next step... you'll make it to the top. Melinoe (Melinoe_0058): To the top... OdysseusAboutMusicPlayer01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0525): It's grown much livelier now with the Music Maker here! A fine choice of recruit for us, Goddess. I was always partial to a rousing battle-ballad, though a variety is welcome, too. Melinoe (Melinoe_4224): I figured that the Music Maker would grow rather popular quite soon. Got any song requests? Odysseus (Odysseus_0526): Oh you don't want to know; happy for {#Emph}you {#Prev}to make the hard decisions there! Melinoe (Melinoe_4225): And live with the consequences, yes. OdysseusAboutNemesis01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0157): Nemesis has been in an especially foul mood of late. Anything I should know about? Melinoe (Melinoe_2212): I was going to ask you the same. She sought my task, but that's nothing new. Though, she's been clashing with Headmistress more and more... Odysseus (Odysseus_0158): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, shame it's been this way. Personally, I'd rather have Divine Retribution with me than against. I reckon you can't just smooth things over with her, can you? Melinoe (Melinoe_2213): I have my doubts... OdysseusAboutNemesis02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0159): So, how has Nemesis been faring out there? Taking matters into her very capable hands. Not making {#Emph}too {#Prev}much grief for you, I reckon? Melinoe (Melinoe_2214): So you know already? And Headmistress must, too. Nemesis is being Nemesis! Discovering firsthand our task is not as simple as it seems. Odysseus (Odysseus_0160): Say no more, then! Though, if she becomes too intent on impeding your results over achieving her own, we'll step in. Melinoe (Melinoe_2215): It won't come to that. OdysseusAboutOceanus01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0133): The good witch there noted you were able to vanquish her in a full-on contest. Impressive stuff! You get much farther? Melinoe (Melinoe_0482): I did. Down to the chambers near the bottom of the sea. Strange music echoing all through the place. I wasn't prepared. Odysseus (Odysseus_0134): Strange music, {#Emph}huh... {#Prev}reminds me of when... {#Emph}oh{#Prev}, I'll spare the tales for another time! You've enough on your mind, I can tell. OdysseusAboutOctofish01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0403): It's swarming season for the Hellifish in Oceanus, as you may have seen. Should you run into them, advice is not to bother much with smaller ones but get the {#Emph}biggest {#Prev}one. Melinoe (Melinoe_4191): I'd rather not bother with any of them and all their stinging. How long do swarming seasons typically go on? Odysseus (Odysseus_0404): Well, {#Emph}season {#Prev}is a bit of a misnomer, as the current season started back when I was just a lad. The good news is you get accustomed to the stinging after a while! Melinoe (Melinoe_4192): Wonderful. OdysseusAboutOctofish01_B Odysseus (Odysseus_0403): It's swarming season for the Hellifish in Oceanus, as you may have seen. Should you run into them, advice is not to bother much with smaller ones but get the {#Emph}biggest {#Prev}one. Melinoe (Melinoe_4191): I'd rather not bother with any of them and all their stinging. How long do swarming seasons typically go on? Odysseus (Odysseus_0404): Well, {#Emph}season {#Prev}is a bit of a misnomer, as the current season started back when I was just a lad. The good news is you get accustomed to the stinging after a while! Melinoe (Melinoe_4192): Wonderful. OdysseusAboutOlympus01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0295): This may not be the best occasion to inform you but we've reason to believe the trouble brewing on Olympus is significantly worse than it appears. Not even the gods are fully aware. Unfortunately, neither are we... Melinoe (Melinoe_3608): The forces of Chronos attack nonstop, while the gods and their defenses hold them back... then it's a ruse for some especially dramatic gesture that the Titan has in store? Odysseus (Odysseus_0296): My thoughts exactly. But have no fear, Goddess! I once fought alongside a great warrior who said {#Emph}fear is for the weak{#Prev}. I happen to think fear is for the living, but like most good things, it isn't healthy in abundance. Melinoe (Melinoe_3609): Fear is for our enemies. Odysseus (Odysseus_0304): Aye. OdysseusAboutPolyphemus01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0210): How was the surface, still warm and welcoming I reckon? You're to be commended for even setting foot up there. Melinoe (Melinoe_0060): It was dreadful. The city of Ephyra is completely overrun. And, there's a blind Cyclops making sure no one gets out. Odysseus (Odysseus_0031): Well, that all sounds entirely unfortunate. That blind Cyclops must be Polyphemus. My crew and I once had a bad run-in with him. He still going on about eating people? Melinoe (Melinoe_0061): He is. Odysseus (Odysseus_0032): {#Emph}Augh... OdysseusAboutPolyphemus02 Melinoe (Melinoe_3337): Your old adversary Polyphemus wanted me to give you a message on his behalf. Though, come to think, I'm uncertain what he wanted me to say. Perhaps just... kick you savagely? Odysseus (Odysseus_0274): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, sounds like the Cyclops that I used to know all right. My crew and I, we were his captives for a while... and his food supply. I found a way to get us out of there, but it was ugly... Melinoe (Melinoe_3338): He calls you Nobody. How did he come to know you by that name? Odysseus (Odysseus_0275): {#Emph}Nobody {#Prev}took his {#Emph}eye{#Prev}, Goddess... I gave to him a name that wouldn't make a lick of sense when he called over to his mates for help. We had to try. Melinoe (Melinoe_3339): He has {#Emph}mates? Odysseus (Odysseus_0276): Perhaps not anymore. OdysseusAboutPolyphemus03 Odysseus (Odysseus_0277): How is old Polyphemus, anyhow? Slowed down a bit since he was young, perhaps...? I scarce was any match for him, but I was merely mortal, whilst you're... {#Emph}you. Melinoe (Melinoe_3340): He's territorial, though seems much more concerned with sleep and appetite than any other cause. So, you really blinded him, then...? Odysseus (Odysseus_0278): I did... and only wish he had {#Emph}another {#Prev}eye so that I could have done it {#Emph}twice{#Prev}. For evidently {#Emph}he {#Prev}is not remorseful in the least for what he did, and... as you {#Emph}plainly {#Prev}see, neither am I. Melinoe (Melinoe_3341): ...I'll get him for you. Odysseus (Odysseus_0279): Good. OdysseusAboutPoseidon01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0129): With your Olympus-dwelling relatives assisting you, I've half a mind to ask you to let them know I'm on your side, except... not all of them love me. Melinoe (Melinoe_0478): {#Emph}What? {#Prev}But you're the Great Tactician, Odysseus! Even the gods were impressed with your machinations in your glory days. Odysseus (Odysseus_0130): Lady Athena and others favored me, it's true, but your uncle Poseidon, well... I got on his bad side, I believe. Maybe he's let it go after all this time but that's a risk I'm not prepared to take, so {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, keep quiet about me, would you? Melinoe (Melinoe_0479): I hear you. OdysseusAboutPressure01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2174): How did you manage it, Odysseus? Back when you had the outcome of a full-scale war riding on you, then a treacherous sea-journey, all with only one life to live... or so then you thought? Odysseus (Odysseus_0137): For certain, the one-life-to-live bit instilled in me the will to survive. Most mortals cling to life, but I was better than most at rejecting my doubts. And when my plans all fell apart, I improvised...! Melinoe (Melinoe_2175): {#Emph}Your {#Prev}plans fell apart? How did you avoid becoming distraught? Keep all your doubts at bay in the face of failure? Odysseus (Odysseus_0138): It's that I always relished finding a way out. No matter what I'd gotten myself into. Treating my predicaments as mazes to be navigated, puzzles to be solved... Melinoe (Melinoe_2176): But at times there are impasses; outcomes that simply cannot be achieved... Odysseus (Odysseus_0139): Nay, Goddess. Not if you ask me. OdysseusAboutPressure02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0140): You asked before about how I managed it... the pressure to always prevail through what, in retrospect, were... many {#Emph}terribly exciting {#Prev}scenarios, all whilst bearing the burden of so many others' expectations and my own. Melinoe (Melinoe_2177): You said you always believed there was a solution, a positive outcome that could be discovered and achieved... I've been thinking about that. Odysseus (Odysseus_0141): Good. But it occurred to me there's something else: Love drove me on, Goddess. The great war that earned me my place in Elysium... I wanted desperately not to go. To stay home with my wife and newborn son. Melinoe (Melinoe_2178): You were left with no choice but to fight. So you held to hope that someday you'd see your family again... Odysseus (Odysseus_0142): Sound familiar, does it? OdysseusAboutPrometheus01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0293): Prometheus opposes us... now {#Emph}that {#Prev}one hurts, Goddess. Amongst us mortals, he was quite popular. Beloved, even! Gave us the gift of fire. Practically made us who we are. Melinoe (Melinoe_3606): And in so doing, he violated the will of Olympus. Supposedly he has the gift of foresight... he ought to have anticipated the consequences of his disobedience. Odysseus (Odysseus_0294): What makes you think he didn't? All the more reason we admired him. He knew the cost of what he did for us, and paid it willingly, or... so I choose to think. But all that's in the past. If he's thrown in with Chronos now, he's lost his way. Melinoe (Melinoe_3607): He's done both. OdysseusAboutPrometheus01_B Odysseus (Odysseus_0293): Prometheus opposes us... now {#Emph}that {#Prev}one hurts, Goddess. Amongst us mortals, he was quite popular. Beloved, even! Gave us the gift of fire. Practically made us who we are. Melinoe (Melinoe_3606): And in so doing, he violated the will of Olympus. Supposedly he has the gift of foresight... he ought to have anticipated the consequences of his disobedience. Odysseus (Odysseus_0294): What makes you think he didn't? All the more reason we admired him. He knew the cost of what he did for us, and paid it willingly, or... so I choose to think. But all that's in the past. If he's thrown in with Chronos now, he's lost his way. Melinoe (Melinoe_3607): He's done both. OdysseusAboutPrometheus02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0379): Wanted to ask you more about Prometheus. By your own estimation, is he truly mad...? And, if he stands opposed to all your family, then who set him loose to begin with...? Melinoe (Melinoe_4104): I don't exactly know on either count. He speaks in riddles sometimes, but he doesn't sound as though he's lost his mind. My suspicion is that the forces of Chronos liberated him in exchange for his obedience, but... Odysseus (Odysseus_0380): ...But he's no hired thug, is he. Melinoe (Melinoe_4105): No, I think not. OdysseusAboutPrometheus03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4106): You know mortals better than anybody here. Prometheus claims that the gods are cruel, and that he fights not for the Titan Lord, but mortalkind. What do you make of all that? Odysseus (Odysseus_0381): Look, I've known mortals who think gods can be uncaring. Some of them defy the gods even in death. Others understand that gods are... {#Emph}everything{#Prev}, really. We have only this world, more beautiful than it is flawed. Melinoe (Melinoe_4107): You're speaking in the abstract. I want to know your personal opinion here, Odysseus. Are the gods in the wrong? Did we bring this on ourselves...? Odysseus (Odysseus_0382): My personal opinion is that gods and mortals are a {#Emph}complicated {#Prev}bunch; and that you shouldn't doubt yourself, lest you falter. If I felt you or the good witch were in the wrong, I'd tell you so. Melinoe (Melinoe_4108): You swear to that? Odysseus (Odysseus_0383): Aye, Goddess. OdysseusAboutPrometheusAltFight01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5223): Odysseus, I need your counsel and discretion on something. Prometheus has an ally whom I thought was on my family's side. I faced them together near the mountain's summit, where the smoke is thick. But, I mustn't say who... Odysseus (Odysseus_0614): {#Emph}Mm{#Prev}, quite the report all right, and I have my suspicions as to whom you mean. Certainly the gods must know, at least Master Hermes, or... do you reckon that they're unaware? Melinoe (Melinoe_5224): I don't think they realize, though perhaps Hermes does and won't let on. Prometheus said I wouldn't tell a soul who it was because of the harm that doing so would bring. Do you think he's telling the truth? Odysseus (Odysseus_0615): I'd not wager otherwise. We had best treat it as the truth for now, unless you believe this ally poses an imminent threat to your family. Are you in a position to further investigate? Melinoe (Melinoe_5225): I think so... Odysseus (Odysseus_0616): Keep me apprised. OdysseusAboutRain01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0155): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, I miss the feeling of the rain, sometimes. Then I remember years at sea, soaked to the bone, and thank the gods the blasted stuff can't get to me as once it did. Melinoe (Melinoe_2179): The rain brings life, as well as death... especially the latter on this night. The Lost Souls out there seem to hate it near as much as you. Odysseus (Odysseus_0156): Aye, almost seems to soften them up, doesn't it? Leave them ripe for the harvest. Go pick some off for me, will you? Melinoe (Melinoe_2180): I think I will. OdysseusAboutRatCatcher01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0290): They sent the {#Emph}Verminancer {#Prev}after you, Goddess? We know that Satyr by no other title, nor of any others of that size. He's one of the Titan Lord's high priests! Melinoe (Melinoe_3349): Then the Titan Lord shall soon have one {#Emph}fewer {#Prev}high priest. Odysseus (Odysseus_0291): Even if you take him, our reports say that he cannot {#Emph}truly {#Prev}die. A gift from Chronos, in exchange for performing the ritual that brought him back... Melinoe (Melinoe_3350): I can at least test the veracity of our reports. OdysseusAboutReturn01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5108): We missed you here, and I'm so pleased you're back! How was your trip? Did you find your family? Odysseus (Odysseus_0585): Aye, Goddess, I found them all right. Followed a couple leads down in Elysium, ran into a couple of former compatriots, and we got there. Penelope and Telemachus... {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, well, they recognized me right away. Melinoe (Melinoe_5109): Were they all right? Apologies, it's not my wish to drag these details out of you, it's just... this is your latest tale! Odysseus (Odysseus_0586): {#Emph}Ahh{#Prev}, what's to tell? It was... well, it was comforting. I reckon the time we spent apart was healing in a way. They asked I visit them again, down the line. Melinoe (Melinoe_5110): I think you should. I'm glad it went well. Odysseus (Odysseus_0587): It could have gone far worse. OdysseusAboutRunProgress01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0414): You've gone at this for fifty nights at least, Goddess. Is there occasion yet to give yourself a bit of a reprieve? You're putting yourself through a lot is all. Melinoe (Melinoe_4202): I've had reprieve along the way, thank you. The springs, the garden, the taverna... even just conversing like this! It's not as though I'm pushing myself in every waking moment. Odysseus (Odysseus_0415): Aye, we never can push ourselves as hard as possible for as long as we'd like. But, you've come a long way, and in the off chance you're not keeping track, I am! Melinoe (Melinoe_4203): Good. And I'll go farther still. OdysseusAboutRunProgress02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0416): This is about your hundredth night, Goddess... several moons at least in mortal terms. Feels like a while, yet no time at all. That's the insidious work of Chronos for you! Melinoe (Melinoe_4204): I think you're right, now that you mention it! The passage of time has always felt strange to me, but even more so since this all began. Did you feel similarly in your mortal days? Odysseus (Odysseus_0417): Aye, like you have no idea. It must be even stranger for you gods... so much time can pass in the blink of an eye! The best we all can do is use it well. Melinoe (Melinoe_2222): Aye... OdysseusAboutRunProgress03 Odysseus (Odysseus_0710): According to our counts, you have prevailed on more than fifty nights now, Goddess. Wanted to take a moment to celebrate that achievement with you. Melinoe (Melinoe_5447): Has it already been that long? Time works in strange ways. Odysseus (Odysseus_0711): Aye, we can all agree on that by now. OdysseusAboutRunProgress04 Odysseus (Odysseus_0712): It's been five hundred nights since all of this began, Goddess. Well, more or less. In mortal terms... that's quite a while. Perhaps even for you. Melinoe (Melinoe_5448): I ceased keeping track at a certain point, and relinquished any coherent sense of the passage of time. When do you suppose we ought to wind down on all this? Odysseus (Odysseus_0713): Whenever you please, and no sooner than that. OdysseusAboutSatyrCrossbow01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0247): Not sighted Chronos on the surface yet. Why risk it when you've got bloodthirsty Satyrs serving as your eyes and ears? His forces are more organized than first they seemed. Melinoe (Melinoe_3320): I just had an unfortunate run-in with one of those Satyrs. Well-armed, well-trained... and Chronos has entire legions. Odysseus (Odysseus_0248): {#Emph}Hrm{#Prev}, this is the war they've sought ever since the gods put Chronos in the ground. The promise of the Titan's return; immortality and untold riches... Melinoe (Melinoe_3321): ...Lies. Odysseus (Odysseus_0299): Most likely, aye. OdysseusAboutScylla01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0172): How's life of late down at the bottom of the sea? All sorts of nastiness lurking there, {#Emph}that {#Prev}the reports make clear. I wager you've seen some things. Melinoe (Melinoe_2181): You'd win that wager handily. The worst of them has to be this sea-monstress called Scylla, and her Siren friends. They have this ridiculous act... Odysseus (Odysseus_0173): What, Scylla's still around? With the Sirens, no less, {#Emph}hah! {#Prev}It's a wonder you made it back. Please tell me you didn't listen to a word they sang? Melinoe (Melinoe_2182): Oh, I heard an earful. Odysseus (Odysseus_0174): {#Emph}Ungh... OdysseusAboutScylla02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0175): I once was desperate to hear the Sirens' song... I barely resisted their temptations; of course I was... merely mortal. Perhaps you're less susceptible to their allure. Melinoe (Melinoe_2183): Perhaps. At any rate I fail to see the appeal. Although, it's possible the Sirens were better off without Scylla. She seems rather bossy... Odysseus (Odysseus_0176): Oh she's a menace. Caught half a dozen of my crew like she'd a separate set of teeth for each of the poor lads. We'd little choice but to pray to the gods, and sail on. Tell her hello for me! Melinoe (Melinoe_2184): Did the gods answer your call at least? Odysseus (Odysseus_0177): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, for the most part! OdysseusAboutScylla03 Melinoe (Melinoe_2202_B): I've seen you here alone more often lately, Odysseus. You're thinking about your family, aren't you? Some potent memory from your past. Odysseus (Odysseus_0195): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, Goddess, you may see through most of us Shades, but your empathy for me's a bit... misplaced. Penelope, Telemachus, and I... we're cordial with each other still, but... how to say this without sounding callous... Melinoe (Melinoe_2203): Please speak your mind with me. I'm certain you're not callous. Odysseus (Odysseus_0232): ...My mind wanders not to matters of family, but... to the Sirens' blasted song. I scarce got to hear it even once, whilst navigating through their waters. I wanted {#Emph}desperately {#Prev}to cast myself into the sea, just for a better listen... Melinoe (Melinoe_2204): The Sirens' song? You can't expect me to believe that Scylla's incessant drivel is the source of the Great Tactician's concerns of late? Odysseus (Odysseus_0197): Now, now, spare me the ridicule, I'm dead serious about this. You weren't with me on the surface there and wouldn't understand... Melinoe (Melinoe_2205): Seemingly not... OdysseusAboutScylla04 Melinoe (Melinoe_2206): When last we spoke in the taverna, I didn't mean to shame you for your musical tastes. I just had no idea that Scylla could be taken seriously by anybody... much less you. Odysseus (Odysseus_0233): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, think nothing of it. Siren music's an {#Emph}acquired taste... {#Prev}acquired by all those who sailed in their vicinity whilst I was whole. {#Emph}Incessant drivel{#Prev}, though, that's all you think it is? Melinoe (Melinoe_2207): Well, perhaps I was a bit uncharitable in my assessment, it's just... I have trouble separating my disdain for the performer from the quality of her craft. Odysseus (Odysseus_0199): It must be very catchy, aye? Melinoe (Melinoe_2208): Aye... OdysseusAboutScyllaAltFight01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5248): Were you aware that Scylla and Charybdis had teamed up? Odysseus (Odysseus_0626): Oh you could certainly say that. Why do you ask? Melinoe (Melinoe_5249): I caught their latest performance. It was quite a spectacle to say the least. You could have forewarned me that the two were working in concert! Odysseus (Odysseus_0627): Goddess, forgive me, but I thought it was quite common knowledge that Scylla and Charybdis were collaborating... it's not a new development at all. Melinoe (Melinoe_5250): Perhaps I merely missed the news. Odysseus (Odysseus_0628): I don't see how you could have... OdysseusAboutScyllaSong01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0398): That music... I'd recognize it anywhere! Even without the words. And here I thought I must have been the sole admirer of Siren songs in all the Crossroads. Melinoe (Melinoe_4187): I... just wanted to see if our Music Maker even knew that particular piece. Perhaps it shouldn't be permitted here. Especially if it has insidious power over men's hearts. Odysseus (Odysseus_0399): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}I think we dead men are no longer as susceptible. Though I'd best give it another listen, just to be certain. Melinoe (Melinoe_4188): Let me know if it becomes distracting. OdysseusAboutScyllaSponsor01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5246): Scylla mentioned something about a potential sponsor in the audience of one of her shows, Odysseus. Do you have any idea who that could be? I thought it might be Chronos, but can't imagine him listening to her music. Odysseus (Odysseus_0624): A potential sponsor... that's not come up in our reports, though I'll review and let you know if anything turns up. Probably just some old sailor who got an earful and couldn't let it go. Do you know what this sponsorship entails? Melinoe (Melinoe_5247): Probably more of her nightly shows. Odysseus (Odysseus_0625): She's having quite a run... OdysseusAboutScyllaTactics01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0418): Sirens proving to be quite the hindrance, aren't they. Our Shades have intermingled with the crowd of onlookers surrounding them, and have some observations to impart. Melinoe (Melinoe_4209): About what, my repeated failures to overcome a deranged musical troupe despite intensive lifelong training in both magickal and martial ways? Odysseus (Odysseus_0419): No need to stand in your own way, Goddess. With Scylla and the Sirens, you are up against three foes at once. The percussionist is stuck in place but presents a significant threat. Our Shades suggest dealing with that one first. Melinoe (Melinoe_4210): I'll give it a shot. OdysseusAboutSkelly01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2218): You and Commander Schelemeus both were great and famous sailors, isn't that so? Did the two of you ever meet in your mortal days? Odysseus (Odysseus_0163): Oh, {#Emph}great sailor {#Prev}is an understatement, Goddess! They say his exploits rivaled even mine! Alas that I never once had an opportunity to witness his prowess. {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, it must have been something! Melinoe (Melinoe_2219): We're fortunate to have you both. OdysseusAboutSurface01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2225): Why not send Nemesis to the surface in my stead? Even if I undo the wards sealing the path, I don't know that I'll last long up there. Odysseus (Odysseus_0207): The matter on Olympus isn't as personal for Nemesis as it is for you; and she hasn't been especially receptive to suggestion recently. Melinoe (Melinoe_2226): No, I suppose not. OdysseusAboutSurface02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0208): The good witch always figured you would make your way up to the mortal realm. Once you were ready and the situation called for it. Well done. Melinoe (Melinoe_2227): She warded the pathway there, until such time as I had the means to pass through. But the climate on the surface is another matter... Odysseus (Odysseus_0209): Your Underworld birthright stuff getting in the way? A curse not just a blessing, it would seem. Well, if your witchery got you this far, surely it can aid with this... predicament. Melinoe (Melinoe_2228): That's the plan. OdysseusAboutSurfaceThreat01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0541): What brought you back that it would cause you visible distress, Goddess? We heard you made it to the summit but reports are inconclusive after that... or, unbelievable. Melinoe (Melinoe_5079): Some sort of infestation plagues the summit... monstrosities abound. They can't possibly be servants of Chronos, but... they must be part of his scheme. Odysseus (Odysseus_0542): Well let's not speculate before we gather all the necessary facts. You've stood against these monstrosities and managed to return. Your family members must know more, provided they're... still able to reach you. Melinoe (Melinoe_5080): I ought to make certain of that. OdysseusAboutTable01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0424): This new table's {#Emph}excellent! {#Prev}Plenty of room for our map of all the regions that we're monitoring, and these side compartments for our new reports, and an elegant finish...! Melinoe (Melinoe_4215): Odysseus, somehow I'd not expected you to have this much enthusiasm for a piece of furnishing. Especially a piece you strictly need to carry out your duties here. Odysseus (Odysseus_0425): Well, that's quite an accusation... coming from someone who seems to love her work at {#Emph}least {#Prev}as much as I. Or perhaps you've just never had a proper {#Emph}table {#Prev}to your name? Melinoe (Melinoe_4216): I don't use tables much now that you mention it. Odysseus (Odysseus_0426): Your loss! OdysseusAboutTalos01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3610): You know the great Olympian defender, Talos? One of the most ingenious inventions of Hephaestus, and a walking work of art... yet utterly unable to distinguish friend from foe. Odysseus (Odysseus_0297): That disappointing lack of judgment allegedly is not an oversight. Olympus deploys Talos where they want {#Emph}no one {#Prev}to tread, and lately, their own mountain is that place. Melinoe (Melinoe_3611): Sometimes I think Olympus doesn't have the most cohesive plan for their defense. Isn't Lady Athena herself supposed to be in charge? Odysseus (Odysseus_0298): Supposed to be, aye. You know your family, Goddess! In matters of importance, they all want to get involved. Melinoe (Melinoe_3612): For their sake, I hope Talos isn't costly to repair. OdysseusAboutTalos01_B Melinoe (Melinoe_3610): You know the great Olympian defender, Talos?

OdysseusAboutTartarus01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0258): I heard your efforts to bring Cerberus back to his senses were successful... at least temporarily, Goddess. He bounded off to Tartarus, only to be cast out into the Fields again? Melinoe (Melinoe_3328): That's what I gathered, yes. In Tartarus, he seeks his master... my father. Whom I happened upon, bound in chains! Chronos is torturing them... mocking them. Odysseus (Odysseus_0259): Chronos is using {#Emph}them {#Prev}to get at {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Instill in you emotions that compel you to throw caution to the wind. Remember, wars are won and lost in hearts and minds. Melinoe (Melinoe_3329): Did you not act on your emotions in your mortal days? Odysseus (Odysseus_0438): And just look at the mess I'm in now! OdysseusAboutTask01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0352): Your pathway down into the Underworld may seem a little roundabout, but avoiding the main regions is your best shot at eluding Chronos till you can face him on {#Emph}your {#Prev}terms. Melinoe (Melinoe_4088): I have that pathway long since memorized; a straight shot down to Tartarus would have been too good to be true. I'm grateful that this other route even exists. Odysseus (Odysseus_0353): And {#Emph}I {#Prev}am grateful that your father's realm is vast indeed, that we could chart a course along its border all the way to where you need to be. OdysseusAboutThessaly01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0239): How was it sailing through the Rift of Thessaly, Goddess? Sometimes I long for my past days and nights at sea. Probably since I've forgotten just how miserable it was... Melinoe (Melinoe_3307): I feel I could remind you at this point. Chronos has this vast fleet of ships drawn from the very depths, drowned crews and all. I had to commandeer whichever craft I could. Odysseus (Odysseus_0240): A proper nautical experience, then! Fraught with {#Emph}danger, mystery...! Ah{#Prev}, I feel a little envious of those drowned crews! After I died, I thought my sailing days were done. Melinoe (Melinoe_3308): Well, Chronos could probably use more sailors after what I did to them. Odysseus (Odysseus_0241): Put in a good word for me would you? OdysseusAboutTravel01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0147): Goddess, I was just thinking of your travels, taking you beneath the surface and above, I reckon to the ends of the earth! No mere {#Emph}journey... {#Prev}got to be a better word for it... Melinoe (Melinoe_2195): What, is {#Emph}task {#Prev}not sufficiently extravagant? Perhaps {#Emph}assignment? {#Prev}Or {#Emph}voyage? Quest {#Prev}doesn't feel right at all... Odysseus (Odysseus_0148): No, too upbeat, and {#Emph}voyage {#Prev}is more of a nautical term.... {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, we'll think of something. Melinoe (Melinoe_2196): {#Emph}...trek... sojourn... OdysseusAboutTreant01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2189): When was the last reported sighting of a Root-Stalker out in the woods? Odysseus (Odysseus_0190): See, that's the sort of inquiry I'd expect from somebody who sighted a Root-Stalker out in the woods very, very recently. So there's still something rotten in Erebus, then? Melinoe (Melinoe_2190): Unfortunately, yes. OdysseusAboutTyphon01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0384): You've {#Emph}Typhon {#Prev}to contend with on that mountaintop, Goddess...? Our Shades say he's near the size of a mountain himself... please tell me that's hyperbole on their part? Melinoe (Melinoe_4109): Well to put it in perspective... by my estimation, he's at least a hundred times the size of Polyphemus. Though I've not had the opportunity to take his measure properly. Odysseus (Odysseus_0385): You'll take his measure yet, I reckon. It's what you've done with every other foe you've faced thus far! Our Shades and the good witch think it unwise to take on such a threat yourself, but... you're not planning to back down, are you. Melinoe (Melinoe_4110): No. Odysseus (Odysseus_0386): Good. OdysseusAboutTyphon01_B Odysseus (Odysseus_0384): You've {#Emph}Typhon {#Prev}to contend with on that mountaintop, Goddess...?

Our Shades and the good witch think it unwise to take on such a threat yourself, but... you're not planning to back down, are you. Melinoe (Melinoe_4110): No. Odysseus (Odysseus_0386): Good. OdysseusAboutTyphonDeath01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0592): How are you holding up, Goddess...? My instinct is to {#Emph}celebrate {#Prev}the death of Typhon, but... I never forgot the first man I slew. How the light left his eyes... Melinoe (Melinoe_5050): Typhon sought destruction, and he got it. I won't rejoice in the outcome, but won't lament it either. Especially when there's more left to be done. Odysseus (Odysseus_0593): You have the right approach. You'll have time to recount every choice and consequence when all of this is over, but for now... best to press on and finish what you started. Melinoe (Melinoe_5051): I intend to. OdysseusAboutTyphonL01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0387): The good witch has been quite concerned about your confrontations with Typhon. Reckon you never trained to take opponents of {#Emph}that {#Prev}size. Melinoe (Melinoe_4111): Oh I trained just last night. Typhon is immensely strong, and large enough to blot out the light of the Moon, but evidently {#Emph}not {#Prev}invincible. They say Lord Zeus defeated him before. Odysseus (Odysseus_0388): {#Emph}They {#Prev}say a lot of things, Goddess; I'm far more interested in {#Emph}your {#Prev}account. If it's your instinct that this monster can be stopped, your word is good enough for me. Though I would... also love to see some {#Emph}proof{#Prev}, of course. Melinoe (Melinoe_4112): Of course. OdysseusAboutTyphonMiniboss01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0408): Which sorts of foul monstrosities were the Olympians contending with of late?

Melinoe (Melinoe_4197): Well... imagine horrors of all shapes and sizes, each some mix of muscle, eyes, and {#Emph}teeth. {#Prev}They climb up from beneath the ground... some practically ooze from the walls! The one that got me last night was particularly large. Odysseus (Odysseus_0409): And I take it Typhon has far more of these children than even your Lord Uncle Zeus, and all spoiled rotten. Feuding families! The cause of most every great war I've known. Melinoe (Melinoe_4198): I'd not considered it that way...

It would be false of me to say I had no doubt you {#Emph}would{#Prev}, though... I'd only a bit, I swear. So, how did you outsmart him? Melinoe (Melinoe_4113): {#Emph}Outsmart {#Prev}him? All I could do was keep hitting him with all my might. It helped that Lord Zeus also struck him hard with lightning bolts. Eventually it worked, and Typhon fell. Odysseus (Odysseus_0390): Well! Your battle prowess may be unsurpassed, but your ability to weave a yarn is... not {#Emph}quite {#Prev}there. When next you overcome the Father of All Monsters, do make of it a much more rousing tale, would you? Melinoe (Melinoe_4114): ...No promises. OdysseusAboutTyphonW02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0391): So there you were! Alone, atop the rain-soaked mountain... when out of the dark came a roar so deafening it shook Olympus to its roots. And with it came Typhon himself, more vengeful even than before...! What then, Goddess? Melinoe (Melinoe_4115): We fought. I prevailed. Oh, blast... I was supposed to weave a yarn. {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, he kept trying to crush me with his {#Emph}chin... {#Prev}but I evaded, and clambered to the top of his head, where I drove the Sister Blades Lim and Oros into his {#Emph}brain! Odysseus (Odysseus_0392): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, quite gruesome at the end there, I {#Emph}like {#Prev}it! My only criticism, if I may, is that... all too many tales involving huge monstrosities resolve that way. {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, what if... he were to swallow you whole?

Melinoe (Melinoe_5048): I believe so. I'd be inclined to tell you all of it, except you know how Headmistress gets about these things. Suffice it to say that the final phase of our plan is in progress. Odysseus (Odysseus_0589): That's all I need to hear. This phase is up to you and her. For my part, it seems you're able to get to where you need to be consistently enough. Melinoe (Melinoe_5049): Yes. Thank you for charting my course. Odysseus (Odysseus_0590): Anytime.

You've been like a brother to me. Or an uncle? One of those. You'd know better than I. Odysseus (Odysseus_0037): Look, you don't have to tell me what it's like not having a family about. I spent a good-sized portion of my mortal days away from home. Had a war to fight, got a little sidetracked after. Melinoe (Melinoe_0453): {#Emph}Sidetracked? {#Prev}Headmistress says that you spent many years at sea. Some of them in the company of goddesses, at that. Odysseus (Odysseus_0038): Aye, well. By the time I finally returned, I scarce recognized my son, and my wife... we lived out our mortal days together, and that was enough. I reckon they're comfortable somewhere below. Melinoe (Melinoe_0454): You haven't seen them? What happened? Odysseus (Odysseus_0039): Penelope and I drifted apart. Happens with mortals, sometimes. And it happens with Shades too.

Melinoe (Melinoe_5242): Oh that's all right, doubtless you'll recall the finer points. You mostly just have to try and let go your burdens.

Melinoe (Melinoe_3323): You're free? But as a mortal, weren't you a king? A mighty warrior, leader of men... and a husband, and a father! Here you have a place of honor, too, except... we dwell in shadows. Our deeds are never to be told. Odysseus (Odysseus_0253): Well, we shall see about that last bit, but for the rest! Perhaps I got all of the wanderlust out of my system whilst I lived and breathed. Most of it, anyhow! Odysseus (Odysseus_0084): I thoroughly enjoyed our outing, though I still thoroughly hate fish. OdysseusFishing02 Melinoe (Melinoe_5096): Hey what if we stop by the fishing pier again? It's been a while, and standing patiently is far less indulgent than sipping Ambrosia, right? Odysseus (Odysseus_0557): You make a compelling argument, Goddess! And, I ought to confront my {#Emph}discomfort {#Prev}with the waters more. Head on over and I'll be there soon. Odysseus (Odysseus_0558): ...Something I should tell you, by the way. These times we spend together, which I thoroughly enjoy, I... wouldn't want the other Shades to get the wrong impression. Melinoe (Melinoe_5097): And what impression would that be? {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, you mean their mortal preconceptions. A man and a goddess together can only mean one thing. End up one way. Odysseus (Odysseus_0559): Well yes, but it's a preconception rooted in events that have occurred... including to me. And even though our Shades are {#Emph}loyal{#Prev}, they {#Emph}do {#Prev}like to gossip, we know that. Melinoe (Melinoe_5098): I suppose. If anything they ought be gossiping about Headmistress and yourself, rather than us. Odysseus (Odysseus_0560): {#Emph}What? {#Prev}Oh come on, Goddess, the good witch and I... we're like... oh blast, there must be {#Emph}some {#Prev}appropriate analogy... Melinoe (Melinoe_5099): I didn't mean to overreach, it's just... well, I can think of many reasons that Headmistress would inspire loyalty in someone such as you. And you in her. Odysseus (Odysseus_0561): {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, you're as bad as those gossiping Shades, except I can't have {#Emph}you {#Prev}banished for your conduct. Now, what do you say we scoop some fish out of these waters, aye? Odysseus (Odysseus_0562): ...{#Emph}Ah. {#Prev}It's been good to chat away a bit instead of having to give counsel all the time, so cheers for that, Goddess. But, don't tell the good witch or anyone what you told me...? Melinoe (Melinoe_5100): I won't, I won't... OdysseusGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0471): Hey Odysseus? Got you something here I wanted you to have. For always keeping an eye out! Odysseus (Odysseus_0087): Goddess, your presence alone is all I could ask. Though, if you're in a giving mood, then perhaps you'll accept a small gift from me, in turn? OdysseusGift02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0088): I'm most grateful, Goddess, and expect to knock this back at the taverna at the soonest opportunity. Melinoe (Melinoe_0473): No rush! Just as long as you enjoy it when that opportunity presents itself! OdysseusGift03 Odysseus (Odysseus_0089): Well, would you look at that! How could I possibly say no? It seems you've found my weakness here, Goddess. Melinoe (Melinoe_0474): The Great Tactician has no weaknesses, I'm sure! Though he does now have an extra bottle of Nectar. OdysseusGift04 Odysseus (Odysseus_0090): I ought to be the one honoring {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Goddess. My inclination is to save this for the moment of our victory, but it's good to have in reserve, in case of some emergency, you understand. Melinoe (Melinoe_0475): I understand, indeed! And you already honor me with your friendship, Odysseus... as well as with your knowledge about how to deal swift death! OdysseusGift05 Odysseus (Odysseus_0091): Oh {#Emph}I see {#Prev}what you're up to, here, Goddess! If you continue to exploit my weakness to this stuff, I may yet learn to turn it to a strength. Good plan! Melinoe (Melinoe_0476): What can I say? I learned from the best. May you grow stronger and stronger. OdysseusGift06 Odysseus (Odysseus_0653): You know, I journeyed far and wide throughout my mortal days, meeting great mortals and even greater gods, but... never could I have imagined ending up here, only to receive such a handsome gift from one such as you. Melinoe (Melinoe_0477): They say life takes strange turns, and so apparently does death, Odysseus. Whatever the Fates may have in store, I hope you'll always be nearby to lend your counsel. Odysseus (Odysseus_0654): Well I do like to travel, but... I think you'll always know where to find me. Cheers for the Nectar... should last me through whatever hard times are to come. OdysseusGift07 Melinoe (Melinoe_5083): Hey how about a visit to the taverna if you're not overly preoccupied right now? This Ambrosia here needs opening! Odysseus (Odysseus_0545): That it most certainly does, but, and this pains me to say, I've too many reports right now requiring verification. A lot's been going on. So... perhaps later? Melinoe (Melinoe_5084): How about you hold onto the bottle then? {#Emph}Later {#Prev}can be whenever you desire. Your Shade informants could even come along! Odysseus (Odysseus_0546): {#Emph}Hah{#Prev}, there's a thought! I'd likely never hear from them again. Though that would {#Emph}also {#Prev}mean I could visit the taverna more often... Melinoe (Melinoe_5085): The makings of a plan...! OdysseusGift08 Melinoe (Melinoe_5092): What would you say to a productive evening of inspiring more loyalty over at the taverna again? I enjoy our conversations there. Odysseus (Odysseus_0553): I {#Emph}would {#Prev}say let's be off immediately, but I {#Emph}must {#Prev}say, I'm anticipating word from an informant soon and so need to stay put... I also mean... to visit the taverna somewhat less. Melinoe (Melinoe_5093): {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}I apologize. It's not been my intent to keep attempting to draw you away from your responsibilities. Odysseus (Odysseus_0554): It's nothing that you did, it's just... I knew the sorts who spent their days and nights feasting, taking leave of their senses. I swore never to be so indulgent. To always leave {#Emph}some {#Prev}of my desires unfulfilled. Melinoe (Melinoe_5094): I understand the feeling. To yearn for something is a driving force. Though, how about we give this bottle to your informant? For a duty well-performed. Odysseus (Odysseus_0555): An excellent tactical choice. I'll tell them it was courtesy of the Princess of the Underworld herself! Melinoe (Melinoe_5095): I'd rather it be from both of us. Odysseus (Odysseus_0556): {#Emph}Hah. {#Prev}Fine. OdysseusGrantsCardUpgradePoints01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0371): Beautiful night, isn't it? The kind where one may catch brief glimpses of the Moon amid her race across the sky. She even left a little something for you here. Melinoe (Melinoe_4099): Moon Dust. You've no idea how much I could use this in my meditations recently...! Although you always have an idea, don't you? Odysseus (Odysseus_0372): One, at the very least. OdysseusGrantsFamiliarPoints01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0375): Our Shades report good things about your Animal Familiars, you know. Not all such creatures get on well with spirits of the dead, so... here's a little token of appreciation! Melinoe (Melinoe_4101): Witch's Delight, cooked to perfection. Headmistress must have made this batch herself... does she know you're giving this to me? Odysseus (Odysseus_0376): Just take the blasted gifts, Goddess, the Shades insist! OdysseusGrantsGiftPoints01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0629): I have an offering for you, Goddess! On behalf of all the Shades residing here, we are honored to be in your service and stand ready to do whatever it takes to prevail! Please share these spoils with whomever you see fit. Melinoe (Melinoe_5230): Some Nectar, thank you! I feel like one of the gods of Olympus right now. You truly won't mind if I pass these bottles along? Odysseus (Odysseus_0630): The Shades and I would only mind if you hoarded them. OdysseusGrantsMemPointsCommon01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0365): You'll soon surpass the good witch at your current rate, Goddess! So say some of our Shades at least, and they make a persuasive argument. Here! A symbol of their faith. Melinoe (Melinoe_4096): They would relinquish some of their Psyche, to benefit a task I never could achieve alone...

Odysseus (Odysseus_0360): And who can blame them? OdysseusGrantsMetaCurrency01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0367): A bit of something for you here, Goddess. The gift of skeletal remains would not be looked on favorably back where I come from, but then... you've more respect for the dead than mortals generally did. Melinoe (Melinoe_4097): More Bones than I can quickly count, or locate on my own. Then I shall leave them in the Wretched Broker's care! Odysseus (Odysseus_0368): And get yourself a fair deal in exchange. OdysseusGrantsMetaFabric01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0369): I'm not the sort to dwell too much about what the Three Fates may have in store for us, Goddess, but... I do have a bit of Fabric we attribute to their work. And now it's yours. Melinoe (Melinoe_4098): Fate Fabric! Few better ways to ensure the cauldron properly conducts a magickal effect.

But I've come to understand your appreciation for silver! Go on. Take it! Our Shades and I, we practically insist. Melinoe (Melinoe_4094): Truly? Silver so pure isn't easy to come by, even with the proper tools. I'll make good use of it, for all our sakes. Odysseus (Odysseus_0362): That's all we ask.

OdysseusPostEpilogue01 Melinoe (Melinoe_5217): I take it you heard about the Fates? Apparently everyone already has, figured you'd be among the first. Though come to think of it, I've not heard you speak about them much... Odysseus (Odysseus_0608): ...It's because deep down I've always felt we make our choices for ourselves. Admittedly a controversial point of view when we've strong evidence that those three often choose for us, but... I have to heed my instincts on this one. Melinoe (Melinoe_5218): Wait, you don't believe in what they do? Their prophecies, the coming of a new age... none of it? Odysseus (Odysseus_0609): I wouldn't go {#Emph}that {#Prev}far, but...

Odysseus (Odysseus_0611): I've heard a mix of viewpoints, though they've been enthusiastic on the whole. Ungrateful wretches, aye? We're only here by the grace of the gods. Melinoe (Melinoe_5221): It isn't always grace, I suppose. Many of these Shades met an early demise due to acts of gods. They don't want to be pushed around. Odysseus (Odysseus_0612): There shall always be someone or something to push such people around. Whether it's a god or not hardly matters. The gods can have their moods, I know. But I'd not have gone far without them. It's why I'm here. Melinoe (Melinoe_5222): Nice of you to say. Odysseus (Odysseus_0613): I don't say, I swear.

But, I found another way... one I think shall leave my family better off, if not the rest of the world, eventually. Odysseus (Odysseus_0597): I well and truly understand, Goddess, and do believe your choice was wise. As for what's next, everything is ready for you to proceed if and when you are. Melinoe (Melinoe_5739): Eliminating real possibilities that we could have failed... ensuring {#Emph}time flows freely forth{#Prev}, as Chronos puts it. I don't quite know what to expect, but the change we're fighting for won't happen overnight. What do you make of it? Odysseus (Odysseus_0598): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, my personal opinion is it doesn't hurt to {#Emph}try! {#Prev}To the extent you'd other matters to resolve, consider it an opportunity to do so.

If done correctly, everything will seem as before. And even if not... there's no guarantee anything will go wrong. Odysseus (Odysseus_0600): Well that makes this sound more familiar than I thought. Life in all its uncertainties! Anyway, we're watching Chronos and ensuring that your route remains intact. Melinoe (Melinoe_5112): I'll make the most of it. Thank you. OdysseusPostTrueEndingAboutHouse01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0601): Sounds like your father's House is back in some semblance of order. Always wanted to visit if ever I could, if only to greet an old comrade or two from the war. Melinoe (Melinoe_5213): I'd also like to visit again, but there's no telling when if ever we would have that chance so long as we're Unseen. Officially they're not even supposed to know we're here. Odysseus (Odysseus_0602): I know, but it doesn't make the desire go away! At any rate, as long as the servants of the King and Queen are well. Perhaps our paths shall later cross, who knows. Melinoe (Melinoe_5214): The Fates? Odysseus (Odysseus_0603): Or Prometheus, aye. OdysseusPostTrueEndingAboutTyphon01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0604): Is Typhon really up there on the summit still? {#Emph}Hm{#Prev}, no trace of him in our reports, but if Chronos... {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, your grandfather, that is... if he's using some sort of chronomancy to transport you... Melinoe (Melinoe_5215): He is, yes. And I end up confronting Typhon as before. Apparently these are possibilities within the flow of time in which I haven't prevailed... until I do. Odysseus (Odysseus_0605): I don't see how that's possible. What, there are all these other instances of you out there, some failing, some prevailing, all at the same time? Nonsense... but then again, who am I to question bizarre plans? Melinoe (Melinoe_5216): Whatever works, aye? OdysseusTaverna01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3342): If you're not too caught up in your reports right now, what do you say we put this bottle of Ambrosia to its proper use? Odysseus (Odysseus_0280): I {#Emph}am {#Prev}caught up in my reports, Goddess! Focused on what matters most... meet you at the taverna. Odysseus (Odysseus_0281): ...We mortals had what we called {#Emph}wine{#Prev}, an acrid sort of drink made of crushed {#Emph}grapes{#Prev}. We'd sometimes say it tasted as good as Ambrosia, but... it most certainly did not. Melinoe (Melinoe_3343): You speak of so many hardships from your mortal days and nights and yet, there's always this sense of longing there... you miss those times, don't you? Odysseus (Odysseus_0282): ...Such moments and occasions do occur. I know a lot more {#Emph}now {#Prev}than I did then, and... sometimes I miss that feeling... knowing less. Or the camaraderie of sailing with my crew. Melinoe (Melinoe_3344): But many of your crew are with you here now, right? Even the Shade of your old dog. How can you miss them if they're still around? Odysseus (Odysseus_0283): We're Shades, Goddess, and... not all quite as whole as I. Besides, you still can miss your past with those you still know now! Remember when you used to play at hiding with our good witch, back when you were very small? Melinoe (Melinoe_3345): I never thought that we were playing; she was teaching me to hunt for unseen prey. But, I {#Emph}do {#Prev}see your point. Odysseus (Odysseus_0284): Well my original point was merely that this Ambrosia's {#Emph}really {#Prev}something else! Let us ensure it does not go to waste. Odysseus (Odysseus_0285): I'd not realized how much I needed that. It's true what they say, that Ambrosia tastes much better in good company. Melinoe (Melinoe_0769): Of course. OdysseusTaverna02 Melinoe (Melinoe_5086): How go the reports this evening, or rather, do you have occasion for a taverna break perhaps? Odysseus (Odysseus_0547): Reckon I could join you for just such an occasion, now that you raise the possibility, Goddess. You ready now? Odysseus (Odysseus_0548): ...I fought alongside quite a number of these Shades, you know. Loyal in life as well as now in death... where do you suppose that comes from? Loyalty, I mean. Melinoe (Melinoe_5087): Having a sense of purpose or a cause. And, a basic desire for stability and truth. Loyalty is consistency. Odysseus (Odysseus_0549): Aye to all that, but it is even simpler to me! Loyalty comes from individuals. It's like a form of love; some give it, some receive it, sometimes it's mutual, sometimes it's not. Melinoe (Melinoe_5088): Headmistress always taught me never to demand loyalty. {#Emph}Loyalty wears thin if not for trust{#Prev}, she'd say. Did your fellow Shades follow you out of loyalty or obligation? Odysseus (Odysseus_0550): {#Emph}Hm! {#Prev}A mix of each. The good witch is right that the best kind of loyalty is given. I reckon {#Emph}you {#Prev}inspire {#Emph}that {#Prev}sort, Goddess; the both of you. I'd not have stayed here this long otherwise. Melinoe (Melinoe_5089): Chronos certainly could have used someone of your skill and experience. With all his promises of a new Golden Age, surely he commands quite a bit of loyalty himself. Odysseus (Odysseus_0551): I tried serving tyrants before; wasn't for me. Now, what do you say we inspire some more loyalty {#Emph}right now? {#Prev}Let's have these Shades come join us for a round. Odysseus (Odysseus_0552): How is it that we got so much done on what was meant to be a break? Anyhow, the Shades were grateful! As am I. Melinoe (Melinoe_5091): We should do it again! OdysseusTavernaChat01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0477): Even I get a break from time to time, as should {#Emph}you! OdysseusTavernaChat02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0478): Just having a quick drink here with our fellow Shades.

OdysseusTavernaChat04 Odysseus (Odysseus_0480): Lively bunch we've got for a bunch of deadbeats, aye? OdysseusTavernaChat05 Odysseus (Odysseus_0481): You see that, lads? I told you she'd turn up! OdysseusTavernaChat06 Odysseus (Odysseus_0482): Stick around a bit, Goddess! You've earned some rest. OdysseusWithHecate01 Hecate (Hecate_0201): The Tactician brings ill tidings with an optimistic bent. Fine. And what news from the men of the isles, if any yet survive? Odysseus (Odysseus_0042): According to my confidants, they've all sworn in with Chronos, I'm afraid. Mortals... they often want whatever they don't have. Another Golden Age, in this case. The {#Emph}promise {#Prev}of one. Hecate (Hecate_0202): 'Tis a {#Emph}lie {#Prev}that spurs their betrayal, rather than a promise. They shall perish, then... by the wrath of the gods. Odysseus (Odysseus_0043): And then their wretched souls shall hound us with renewed vengefulness. I've witnessed endless wars before, Madam. So have you gods. How can we stop this? Hecate (Hecate_0203): {#Emph}We {#Prev}cannot. {#Emph}Melinoë{#Prev}, however? Certainly {#Emph}you {#Prev}can, correct? Melinoe (Melinoe_0459): I can and shall. OdysseusWithHecate02 Odysseus (Odysseus_0149): ...And, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, that's the end of my report this time, Madam. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to summon me at any time. Hecate (Hecate_0204): I shan't, Odysseus. Although, there is one further matter that I wanted to discuss with you, and rather quietly... Odysseus (Odysseus_0150): Certainly, Madam. OdysseusWithHecate03 Odysseus (Odysseus_0708): ...In short, the reconstruction is proceeding, though not at a brisk pace, and the damage on the surface is contained. Wounds that shall slowly heal. We'll see what scars remain. Hecate (Hecate_0881): Sister Selene makes a similar assessment. Well, then... what shall you do from here, Odysseus? You could visit the surface whilst the Underworld remains in disrepair. Odysseus (Odysseus_0709): Oh I may wander for a bit, Madam, but... by your leave, I'd like to keep the Crossroads as my base of operations for the time. I reckon we've a good thing going here, don't we? Hecate (Hecate_0882): I daresay yes we do. OdysseusWithNemesis01 Odysseus (Odysseus_0164): ...I'm saying that the possibility exists. Eternal vigilance is near impossible. Enemies have always exploited the lack thereof... I ever tell you of the old wooden horse trick? Nemesis (Nemesis_0135): The old wooden horse trick, yeah. Surely your reputation as the Great Tactician hinges on more than this one tale? Odysseus (Odysseus_0165): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, but classics ought to be retold! Though, if you'd rather, I have far more tales of trickery and valor. Take the Cave of the Cyclops! Nemesis (Nemesis_0136): Not Cave of the Cyclops...

If I myself were Time, why, I would simply turn back the sun-dial, assuming that I could, so that this night would never come to pass. Outro_EarlyEnd_Ambiguity.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0187): {#Emph}The subsequent events were fraught with ambiguity; the tale's theme as obscure as its setting. Whether the Princess truly found that which she sought remains contested to this day. Outro_EarlyEnd_Chronos.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0163): {#Emph}And so, conniving Chronos was never heard from again, and young Melinoë and all her comrades lived happily ever after. {#Prev}Or did they...? Outro_EarlyEnd_Countless.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0464): {#Emph}It is said that the Father of All Monsters possesses countless snaking limbs and peering eyes; so if the Princess of the Dead took out a few this night, perhaps it was of little consequence. Outro_EarlyEnd_Dance.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0182): {#Emph}Thus having satisfied her heart's desire, the Princess felt such jubilation that she burst into a mirthful dance. And so infectious was this celebration that her friends as well as foes all soon joined in. Outro_EarlyEnd_Dangers.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0465): {#Emph}Again the Fate-defying Princess braves the dangers of the mountain of the gods, and stands defiantly upon its tallest peak; but then the moment passes, \n {#Emph}and she calls it a night. Outro_EarlyEnd_Dead.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0181): {#Emph}The Dark Princess had always felt a strong connection with the dead, yet never quite knew why. That is until she realized that she was dead herself, and had been, all this time... Outro_EarlyEnd_DeusExMachina.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0291): {#Emph}Perhaps after this point the Three Fates suddenly appear and say, {#Prev}Well done, Melinoë! But we shall now take care of everything. {#Emph}And then they do. How happy of an outcome that would be! Outro_EarlyEnd_Dionysus.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0463): {#Emph}After vanquishing the abomination that is Typhon for the umpteenth time, the Princess of the Dead backtracks a bit to revel with the mirthful Dionysus, but retains no memory of that at all. Outro_EarlyEnd_Dream.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0180): {#Emph}So lifelike was the nightmare tormenting the Princess of the Dead that she was very much surprised to learn that it was all a dream! Merely a dream, from which she shall awaken any moment now... Outro_EarlyEnd_Epic.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0230): {#Emph}Imagine now a tale which has such an epic scope, that the conclusion to the whole affair is nowhere to be found. For each great challenge that the heroine surmounts, another slightly different one awaits. Outro_EarlyEnd_Feud.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0229): {#Emph}Having resolved her family's blood-feud, now the Princess has scarce anything to do, except to call this one a night; and on the next, give the rekindled blood-feud yet another go. Outro_EarlyEnd_Fiery.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0164): {#Emph}With the forces of her enemy in ruin at her fiery feet, Princess Melinoë decided to return whence she came, for she could always devastate them more some other night. Outro_EarlyEnd_Foes.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0251): {#Emph}Once fearsome witch Melinoë surpasses all the many foes standing between her and the summit of Olympus, a most extraordinary thing occurs! But all those in attendance made a promise not to tell a soul. Outro_EarlyEnd_Foresight01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0287): {#Emph}Imagine knowing everything that shall transpire, much like the fierce Titan of Foresight can. Amongst the many questionable benefits, you would not need for me to say what happens next. Outro_EarlyEnd_Forgot.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0165): {#Emph}Only after all of that did normally-diligent Melinoë discover she forgot something at home. Forgot her keys! So she turned toward the darkness and she said... Outro_EarlyEnd_Forgotten.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0185): {#Emph}That was the last we ever heard of the Princess. Her tale was forgotten, it is true. Yet were it not for her great sacrifices, none of us would be here now, would we? Outro_EarlyEnd_Frightful.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0467): {#Emph}The frightful-fast Princess Melinoë made such short work of her great foe this night, that Time itself seems to be on her side. But that cannot be possible, can it? Outro_EarlyEnd_Future01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0288): {#Emph}What does the future hold? Only the Fates themselves and perhaps Prometheus the Titan of Foresight know full well. Unfortunately, all of them are rather indisposed right now. Outro_EarlyEnd_Future02.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0293): {#Emph}The future is uncertain, but one certainty is this: Time marches ever onward, often faster than one might presume, until we find ourselves wherever the Fates mean for us to be... which in the Princess of the Dead's case is right here... Outro_EarlyEnd_Goal.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0256): {#Emph}Night-wandering Melinoë by now has traveled very far indeed, accomplishing her goal such as she can. Strangely enough, however, her return trip truly takes no time at all. Outro_EarlyEnd_Gods.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0161): {#Emph}And after all of that, the Princess of the Dead and all the gods above the surface and below, they set aside their differences and lived from there on out contentedly. Outro_EarlyEnd_Guardian.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0257): {#Emph}The Underworld's guardian Melinoë belongs not high above the surface, but below. Thus having taken care of family business for the night, she vanishes before the break of dawn. Outro_EarlyEnd_Heart.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0255): {#Emph}Whereupon the torch-bearing Melinoë ascends the mountain of the gods, she realizes that she left her heart within the Crossroads, which she calls her home; and thus decides to go and pick it up. Outro_EarlyEnd_Home.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0231): {#Emph}Returned now to her long-abandoned home, fearsome Melinoë there finds too many curiosities; a leading cause of death for cats, and she likes cats, so exercises prudence and restraint. Outro_EarlyEnd_Horror.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0227): {#Emph}Just as the Princess walks defiantly away, something begins to slightly stir behind her... is it the Titan Chronos, scythe in hand?! Oh gods, Melinoë, watch out! Outro_EarlyEnd_Immortals.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0466): {#Emph}Time itself is every mortal's enemy; and enemy to some immortals, too. So let us all be thankful that the Princess of the Dead has really throttled him again. Outro_EarlyEnd_Love.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0162): {#Emph}Thus young and spirited Melinoë found true love: the sport known as the discus-throw. And whilst she did not win the championship, she won over our hearts. Outro_EarlyEnd_Modesty.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0289): {#Emph}After accomplishing a truly monumental feat, the ever-modest Princess of the Dead respectfully requests for there to be no boasting or exaggerated tales of her ultimate result; merely a brief acknowledgement, like this. Outro_EarlyEnd_Mystery.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0226): {#Emph}And what do you suppose the Princess found within that unassuming chamber in her father's former House? Naught but suggestive wall-scrolls, or a gaming-table, long unused? Eh... we shall eventually find out... Outro_EarlyEnd_Night.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0258): {#Emph}And so, under the watchful Eye of Night, unseen Melinoë gains the very top of Mount Olympus, where such revelry occurs that subsequent events this night are rather murky still. Outro_EarlyEnd_Oath.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0290): {#Emph}Again Princess Melinoë prevails in her climactic confrontation, and again, I shall say nothing of what happens next; for I am under Oath to speak no more. Outro_EarlyEnd_Olympus01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0284): {#Emph}The summit of Olympus looms so close, and yet... try as she might, the surface-scouring Princess can climb no closer for the time. Although it never hurts to try. Outro_EarlyEnd_Olympus02.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0286): {#Emph}So violent is the clash that then ensues upon the summit of Olympus that I cannot even find the words to speak of it. Although I mean to find them... soon enough. Outro_EarlyEnd_Palace01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0292): {#Emph}Beyond lies the Palace of Zeus, stronghold of the gods, in all its awesome glory. But, it is undergoing renovations at this time... so imagining those luxurious-yet-stately halls shall have to do for now. Outro_EarlyEnd_Peace.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0184): {#Emph}And ever since that time, the peoples of the surface and the Underworld sought to live in peace and harmony, knowing that only together would they make the world a better place. Outro_EarlyEnd_Precarious.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0252): {#Emph}The summit of Olympus is a hallowed yet precarious locale. And so the Underworld Princess, unaccustomed to such rarified terrain, decides to take the last leg of her journey very, very slow... Outro_EarlyEnd_Reasoning.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0186): {#Emph}So far beyond the scope of reasoning were the events that happened next, that committing them to words would be such folly as to not be worthy even of attempt. Outro_EarlyEnd_Summit.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0254): {#Emph}From the summit of Olympus, Titan-slaying witch Melinoë regards the world to which the gods lay claim; and she decides this precious world which we all share is perfect, just the way it is. Outro_EarlyEnd_Titan.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0183): {#Emph}The vengeful Princess and the hateful Titan fought and fought. That is until the Titan, with the Princess at his mercy, took the opportunity to give a speech... during which the Princess slew him after all. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0085): {#Emph}Thus the ever-ready Princess of the Underworld gained the very heights of Mount Olympus, to confront an unspeakable horror that awaits. Storyteller (Storyteller_0319): {#Emph}It is no secret to which horror I refer; no secret now to its enormity, its boundless anger, or its many, many eyes. Storyteller (Storyteller_0319_B): {#Emph}Such horrors cannot truly be destroyed... unless the Princess can come up with something at a Future Time. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon02.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0320): {#Emph}Another night, another massive undulating monster brought to heel; and for the Princess of the Dead, such victories are to be savored. But only for a bit. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon03.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0321): {#Emph}After a grueling confrontation with the father of monstrosity, the Princess of the Dead yet stands, whilst the monstrosity does not. But since the hour now grows late, the sleepy Princess figures she ought to retire for the night. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon04.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0322): {#Emph}This world is filled with monsters large and small. And for the most part, they are not unstoppable, as evidenced by our dark Princess of the Dead, who thus decides to take a little break. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon05.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0323): {#Emph}It is most-natural to wonder, now that our Princess of the Underworld withstood the terrifying fury of the Father of All Monsters, what comes next? So please, go right ahead and wonder that. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon06.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0324): {#Emph}Much is required to subdue the hulking, furious progenitor of all the world's monstrosities: courage, strength, agility, a lifelong training regimen from a great witch; perhaps even a stroke of Fate. This night, at least, the Princess has it all. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon07.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0325): {#Emph}Beyond that besieged precipice, the Princess of the Dead discovers all the splendors for which Mount Olympus is well known... and she partakes of them, including an express trip back to her more-modest home. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon08.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0326): {#Emph}Upon the mountain of the gods, one's mortal senses surely would be overwhelmed; so if you are unable now to see or hear or smell or touch or taste it, that is surely for the best. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon09.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0327): {#Emph}If one is of the Underworld, having to battle at extraordinarily high altitudes is ill-advised. There must be some more down-to-earth approach. Outro_EarlyEnd_Typhon10.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0328): {#Emph}It takes practically all night for the hard-toiling Princess of the Dead to clamber to the highest point upon Olympus. But as often is the case, her return trip flies by in no time at all. Outro_EarlyEnd_Unimaginable.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0253): {#Emph}Such unimaginable sights await the surface-voyaging Princess as she ascends the heights of Mount Olympus that, to our mortal minds and senses, why... they simply cannot be described. Outro_EarlyEnd_Unpleasant.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0232): {#Emph}What would become of us if Time could utterly be stopped... destroyed outright? It is unpleasant, frankly, just to think about, so we had best not dwell upon such things at all. Outro_EarlyEnd01b.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0088): {#Emph}So numerous are the travails of dread Melinoë that one can scarce begin to fathom them; but on some evening, fathom them we shall. Outro_EarlyEnd04.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0091): {#Emph}What then became of sorcerous Melinoë, you ask? This I would surely tell you, if I could. Alas that, for the moment, I cannot. Outro_EarlyEnd06.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0093): {#Emph}Of all great feats achieved by mortals or by gods, the nightmare-bringing Princess would achieve perhaps the greatest of them all. It's just, I cannot tell you of it yet... Outro_EarlyEnd07.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0094): {#Emph}From shadow sprang the peerless witch Melinoë, and back to shadow she returns, for now. We shall resume her tale at another time. Outro_EarlyEnd08.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0095): {#Emph}So incomparable is the tale of the Princess of the Underworld that, why, I cannot even find the words. Though, by the gods, eventually, I shall! Outro_EarlyEnd09.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0096): {#Emph}The sheer wrath of fire-tempered witch Melinoë is such that to describe how she confronted her remaining prey would be to sorely limit the appeal of this tale... Outro_EarlyEnd10.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0097): {#Emph}One rightly may imagine that this tale has a very thrilling end; although I am afraid for now, that we are out of Time. Outro_EarlyEnd12.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0099): {#Emph}With victory at hand, the oft-feared Princess of the Dead achieved her life's ambition, and lived happily thenceforth for all eternity... or so I choose to think? Outro_EarlyEnd13.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0100): {#Emph}Surely from there the Princess of the Underworld vanquished hateful Chronos utterly, restoring peace wherever it was lost, and then lived joyfully for all eternity? Outro_EarlyEnd14.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0101): {#Emph}Thenceforth, all of the effort and hard work put in by studious Melinoë converted to a suitable reward; a life of pleasure and of luxury, perhaps! For what is life if not completely fair? Outro_EarlyEnd15.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0102): {#Emph}Surely a pleasant outcome of some sort awaits? Perhaps the Princess is invited to a regal ball, and therein meets her heart's desire, all whilst dancing to a catchy tune... Outro_Epilogue01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0475): {#Emph}Thus did the Three reclusive and feared Fates, whose often-unpredictable weavings determine all that is to come, even for gods, declare the dawning of another age... Storyteller (Storyteller_0476): {#Emph}...an age in which both mortals and immortals shall be free to choose their path, so long as they believe the choice exists... Storyteller (Storyteller_0477): {#Emph}...a golden age, during which mortalkind shall not be ruled entirely by divine right, but by itself. Storyteller (Storyteller_0478): {#Emph}Word quickly spreads, from the heights of Olympus to the depths of the Underworld, foretelling of this perhaps very very distant future filled with possibility and the unknown. Storyteller (Storyteller_0479): {#Emph}Many rejoice; but others know that gods do not go quietly, and history repeats. Storyteller (Storyteller_0480): {#Emph}For now, we can but use the Time we have; both to prepare, and, to the best of our ability, to live. Outro_PostTrueEnding_Loop01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0500): {#Emph}So many different possibilities exist in which the Princess of the Dead prevails or fails... and this is but one more. Certainly, no two such possibilities are quite alike; nor ever have occurred before, nor ever again shall... Outro_PostTrueEnding_Surface01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0487): {#Emph}A figment of the monstrous Typhon is destroyed, yet none perhaps shall know of it, save for the Princess of the Dead and her grandfather, Time. And you, and I, and whosoever else shall hear my tale, I suppose... Outro_PostTrueEnding01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0481): {#Emph}Thus did Melinoë, the Unseen Princess of the Underworld, prevent the very possibility that Time could turn so cruelly against the gods again... Storyteller (Storyteller_0482): {#Emph}At least one possibility, of which there may be many, many more. For Time flows like a river, and its passage and its currents take strange turns. Storyteller (Storyteller_0483): {#Emph}The Princess never did see the true House of Hades again; not on this night at least. But it is still entirely a mess from all which the Titan wrought, so she did not miss much. Outro_PostTrueEnding01_B.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0481): {#Emph}Thus did Melinoë, the Unseen Princess of the Underworld, prevent the very possibility that Time could turn so cruelly against the gods again... Storyteller (Storyteller_0482): {#Emph}At least one possibility, of which there may be many, many more. For Time flows like a river, and its passage and its currents take strange turns. Storyteller (Storyteller_0484): {#Emph}The Princess never did return to the Palace of Zeus; not on this night at least. And neither did she truly mind, because the air and light up there were not quite to her taste. Outro_PostTrueEnding02.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0485): {#Emph}Once more has the fierce Princess of the Underworld ensured that time flows freely forth; and in so doing, vanquished a foul remnant of her foe. Storyteller (Storyteller_0486): {#Emph}The work itself can be quite rigorous, having to cross to other possibilities out of the singular reality we know. Thus the Princess now feels ready for a nap. Outro_PostTrueEnding03.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0488): {#Emph}The only Time that we experience is now. We have the Princess of the Dead to thank for it, through all her tireless endeavors, such as what transpired on this very night. Outro_StoryReset01.VoiceLines Storyteller (Storyteller_0528): {#Emph}Few tales are told of Hades, especially whilst he is bound in chains, in Tartarus... a prisoner of Time, no longer ruler of the Underworld.

Infusing Fear into the night lets me conduct certain experiments I normally cannot. Though I'm also bound to test you here, as does Great Hecate below. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4331): Lady Medea! I thought you were supposed to be conducting research. And what do you mean, {#Emph}test me? {#Prev}That massive Cyclops already barring my path will try to eat us both! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0474): Nah. This witch here's not exactly to my taste, and besides... we got ourselves a little arrangement now. Since I can't smell as easy what with all the bodies popping up. Medea (Medea_0193): Your fight is with the Cyclops still! My aim is merely to enact the will of Night in my own way. Do try your best to pretend I'm not even here, which may be difficult, admittedly... PolyphemusAboutAltFight02 Medea (Medea_0194): ...Are you quite serious, Cyclops? The bodies of the dead ought {#Emph}not {#Prev}to be consumed; all sorts of diseases and the like! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0475): I'm telling you, they can be pretty good! Just got to age 'em right. But anyways we can pick up on that later. Got a {#Emph}warm {#Prev}one over there. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3547): Lady Medea, I cannot believe the two of you are getting on like this. The Testament of Night requires that you form alliances with those who stand in our way? Medea (Medea_0195): We merely have a common interest, sorceress! The Cyclops yet stands in {#Emph}your {#Prev}way, so have at him! I'm here to make the night more foul at your own behest. PolyphemusAboutAltFight03 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0476): Where'd that one witch go, and all the bodies, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}And just as I was starting to like the new aroma around here... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3548): You and all of us are subject to the will of Night, Cyclops. Lady Medea was drawn here for that reason alone. For my part, I find it easier not having to contend with you both. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0477): You want things {#Emph}easy{#Prev}, then what are you even doing over here? You just passed through one of the hardest towns I know, and things are only gonna get rougher. PolyphemusAboutAltFight04 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0478): You fixed it, meat! This witch is back, there's bodies everywhere! I've had it good. But you're about to get it {#Emph}bad. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3549): Lady Medea, aren't you supposed to stand with me here rather than with {#Emph}him? {#Prev}Though, the will of Night ought never to be questioned, and this is all part of the Vows I spoke... Medea (Medea_0196): Night brings terror, sorceress... a fear of the impossible and the unknown. I merely am fulfilling my responsibility unto that cause, so please! Address Lord Polyphemus here, not me. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0479): {#Emph}Hah! Lord Polyphemus. {#Prev}Think I like the sound of that! After all, lords tend to have big appetites. Now come on over and I'll add you to the corpses on the ground. PolyphemusAboutAltFight05 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0480): Even with all the extra bodies here, I can always sniff you out. You're on my turf, and you'll address me as {#Emph}Lord Polyphemus {#Prev}from now on. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3550): You can't be serious. You're not entitled to a greater status just because you asked! Or has Lady Medea poisoned your mind with newfound delusions? Medea (Medea_0199): Don't look at {#Emph}me{#Prev}, sorceress. I'm here by will of Night alone, sworn to a Vow of Silence... even though it's difficult to keep. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0481): She don't want to talk to you, she said, but you keep on tryin'. And you know what? I don't want to talk to you, either. PolyphemusAboutAltFight06 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0482): ...I'm telling ya, it feels funny. Itches maybe, burns a little, I don't know. You sure it's gonna help me with my sleep? Medea (Medea_0200): Well for mortals, it induces an eternal sleep, preceded by a pain beyond compare. I made no more assurances, and... come to think? This may not be the remedy for you... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0483): Least it hasn't messed up my sense of smell too much. 'Cause otherwise I wouldn't know we got ourselves somebody else who probably could use your {#Emph}remedies. PolyphemusAboutAltFight07 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0484): {#Emph} Eugh{#Prev}, my damn nose is all stuffed up. Think I'm allergic to something you got on you there, witch. Medea (Medea_0201): You're resistant to such toxins as could kill the strongest ox, Lord Polyphemus. Perhaps you've an aversion to the sorceress whom we must fight? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0485): {#Emph} {#Prev}What, she's {#Emph}here? Ugh{#Prev}, I'm losin' it if I can't even smell 'er when she's right in front of me like this. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0486): {#Emph} There {#Prev}she is... PolyphemusAboutAltFight08 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0487): {#Emph} {#Prev}Well what am I supposed to do on nights like this? If I can't even smell her, I don't know where I'm supposed to kick. Medea (Medea_0202): Lord Polyphemus, your nasal passages must be utterly congested. The one to whom you're referring is right {#Emph}there! {#Prev}Next time, I shall have to unearth something you can use. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0488): {#Emph} {#Prev}All right, sounds good, it's really not so bad. It's just if I can't smell my food, then I can't properly enjoy my meal. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0489): {#Emph} Ahh... PolyphemusAboutAltFight09 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0490): {#Emph} Yeah{#Prev}, you know I think that might have done the trick! 'Cause I can smell every last corpse a couple fields away. You're all right, witch! What'd you even {#Emph}give {#Prev}me? Medea (Medea_0203): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, it's just... I'd stashed away old herbal remedies my aunt had given me. Thought I would never find a use for them, but... didn't have the heart to throw them out. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0491): Well that was awful generous of you, though now I'm in the mood for a quick bite. Or maybe a quick nap? You want to stick around? Medea (Medea_0204): Why, {#Emph}certainly... PolyphemusAboutAltFight10 Medea (Medea_0205): ...At any rate, Lord Polyphemus, we oughtn't even be speaking thus, for that is not my charge. But should you require any other remedies or toxins, I'm not far. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3663): Lady Medea, you'd consort with Polyphemus there even without the Oath of the Unseen taking effect? I can't believe this! He's repeatedly attempted to devour me! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0492): Watch with the attitude there, meat. The witch just said that she don't want to talk. You ever got somethin' to say here, you say it to {#Emph}me. PolyphemusAboutAltFight11 Medea (Medea_0206): Such appalling silence in these outskirts! I've grown too much accustomed to the bustle of the city, and its lingering scents of blood and decay. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3816): Lady Medea, does Headmistress even know what you're doing here? She hadn't mentioned you'd be testing me. Medea (Medea_0207): Great Hecate knows all. But now that you are Matron of the Oath, the consequences are yours to decide. And tonight, you spoke the Vows! Long have I been dying to oblige... PolyphemusAboutAltFight12 Medea (Medea_0210): Am I to merely be a shadow in the dark...? I cannot help but intervene not just with actions here but words. Lord Polyphemus, talk to her, would you? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0507): Sure, whatever you say there, witch. Let me go ahead and give this piece of meat I smell here a {#Emph}real {#Prev}talking-to. PolyphemusAboutAltFight13 Medea (Medea_0211): If I might briefly break my Vow of Silence, you look simply {#Emph}terrible{#Prev}, sorceress! More {#Emph}dead {#Prev}than {#Emph}alive. {#Prev}And now the Cyclops and I have to push you {#Emph}closer {#Prev}to the {#Emph}brink. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3818): I had some difficulties in Ephyra on the way, though thank you for noticing. I know the will of Night demands you show no mercy to me here; anything but. Medea (Medea_0212): I don't think the will of Night ought be your chief concern... Lord Polyphemus, he is positively {#Emph}salivating. {#Prev}The power of the scent of blood! Particularly {#Emph}yours. PolyphemusAboutAltFight14 Medea (Medea_0213): Those accursed curing pools there in the corners of the field... the Mandragora thrives in bloodied soil, but in doing so, it filters toxins out. How rather {#Emph}fortunate {#Prev}for you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3819): Your toxins are so potent, they immediately make me feel as though I'm burning up, even with those curing pools nearby. Medea (Medea_0214): What can I say? I try! You'll even find that, no matter how many times you take ill, you won't become resistant... let alone immune. PolyphemusAboutAltFight15 Medea (Medea_0215): My curses and concoctions are quite lethal normally. But you've been able to withstand them! I don't know whether to be impressed with you, or disappointed in myself. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3931): I thought this was to be a test of my abilities and growth! It more appears to be a test of your latest experiments. Medea (Medea_0216): Must it merely be one or the other? Great Hecate has taught us always to be learning something more. {#Emph}That {#Prev}way, we shall grow as strong as the deadliest of poisons... PolyphemusAboutAltFightBackOn01 Medea (Medea_0208): Well, sorceress! You're utterly committed to the Oath. As your fight remains with Lord Polyphemus, I'm to be mostly silent henceforth; though I have no wish to be rude. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3817): I know you're here because of certain obligations, Lady Medea, so I certainly bear no ill will. Well not to you, at least, but to {#Emph}Lord Polyphemus{#Prev}, I am not so sure. Medea (Medea_0209): Now he's upset again. Please understand that I am not responsible for any actions that the Cyclops takes... I hardly am responsible for {#Emph}mine. PolyphemusAboutAltFightBackOn02 Medea (Medea_0197): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, I {#Emph}quite {#Prev}like it here! As much as I've enjoyed experimenting in my little corner of the city, a bit of the outdoors is giving me some benefit, I think. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3815): If only I could say the same for your various toxins, venoms, poisons, and such, Lady Medea. Doesn't the will of Night forbid the use of certain substances? Medea (Medea_0198): Is that so...? Perhaps I'm not entirely caught up on all the latest bylaws; but you have bigger problems here than a bit of sour blood. {#Emph}Oh, Cyclops...? PolyphemusAboutBarn01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0281): You went through my old barn the other night while I was out. Coulda cased the joint but you didn't. Drank from my well and that was it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1929): I'm no thief. And besides, your residence is filthy! You could stand to clean it up instead of facing me. Let me know if you need assistance, as I'll soon be passing through again. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0282): {#Emph}Nah{#Prev}, thanks. If it was tidy in there I couldn't sniff my way around. And also, you {#Emph}shut up! {#Prev}I don't go tellin' {#Emph}you {#Prev}the way {#Emph}you {#Prev}ought to live! PolyphemusAboutBlindness01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0352): Each time you know I'm here, no matter the softness of my approach or anything I do to mask my scent. Your senses are very keen. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0190): Yeah, well, when you lose your eye... you got to learn to compensate. And I never saw too good to start with. Could never tell how far away things were. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0353): It must have been extraordinarily difficult, nevertheless. And now you use these heightened abilities to tend your flock... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0191): {#Emph}Heightened abilities{#Prev}, I like that. Look, this world's a real ugly place. Difference between you and me is, I don't got to look at it no more. Now, hold still or start running... I don't even care. PolyphemusAboutBoulders01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0133): You know I can always hear you storming through town all the way from this calm relaxing pasture. Even before my sheep get spooked. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0316): Yes, I figured the boulders raining down back there weren't landing near me by coincidence. You have excellent hearing, and rather good aim. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0134): Aw, thanks. And you got {#Emph}excellent {#Prev}taste, I'm sure. Now hold still, so I can practice my {#Emph}rather good aim {#Prev}some more. PolyphemusAboutChronos01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0127): Hey what's your beef with Chronos, anyways? He wants to change stuff up a bit, so what? Life's hard up here. It could be easier. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0312): It won't be. That {#Emph}town {#Prev}back there, as you call it, would have been bustling with mortals. Now it's a festering necropolis. All thanks to the Titan. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0128): My sheep, they're glad to be alive. No complaints. But individuals like you? You got too many ideals. Best I {#Emph}eat {#Prev}you, and be done. PolyphemusAboutChronos02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2829): So what does Chronos offer you exactly for these ineffectual attempts to bar my passage? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0343): Don't see how that's any of your business, meat. {#Emph}You're {#Prev}the one barging into my turf, making a fuss in my town. Falls on me to keep things nice and orderly. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2830): Ephyra is {#Emph}not {#Prev}your town. Unless that was your arrangement with the Titan, though the city wasn't his to give away. In any case, ready to earn your nightly keep? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0344): {#Emph}Ohh {#Prev}you don't know the next thing about my {#Emph}arrangement. {#Prev}For one, I always take my pay up front. But with you here... I get a little {#Emph}bonus. PolyphemusAboutCyclopes01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0317): What's become of the other Cyclopes? Your kind once aided the gods against the Titans, crafting weapons of war and such. Yet {#Emph}you {#Prev}turn your back... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0135): What, you think we all keep in touch just 'cause we got one eye at most? What they did and what happened to 'em don't matter to me. 'Specially not when I'm {#Emph}hungry... PolyphemusAboutDiet01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0009): I try to watch my diet. Three square meals, that's it. No snacks. You're making it real difficult for me. Melinoe (Melinoe_0495): Where I am from, we fast under the waxing moon, and grow nutritious plants and funguses. I could bring you some next time if you would like? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0010): ...I can't just save you for later. You'd try to run. They always do. Oh, {#Emph}I {#Prev}know! I'll just start with the legs! Melinoe (Melinoe_0496): No you won't. PolyphemusAboutDocks01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0123): I made those docks back there with my bare hands. Know some guys, they tally every skiff and trireme in the drink. We know where you're going. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0309): So what if you do? You're just another servant of Chronos. The gods shall punish you when all this is over. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0124): {#Emph}Ehh{#Prev}, what do you know about it? They only care about their own! I'm just a joke to them. Am I a joke... to {#Emph}you? PolyphemusAboutEphyra01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0308): Are you the one responsible for that spectral barrier at the city gates? It has the markings of Chronos all over it, and you seem to be the extra backup in case it fails. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0122): Oh {#Emph}that {#Prev}thing, yeah. I knew it'd never hold. But they keep fixing it anyways! Almost like somebody out there don't want you here... PolyphemusAboutFlock01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0005): Can't you see I'm busy over here? Personally, I can't see a thing. Do I complain? No. I just tend my flock. Melinoe (Melinoe_0493): Your blasted sheep are some of the most high-strung animals I have ever encountered. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0006): Sheep are fast. It's not an easy job. And it's even harder when somebody makes a ruckus in my meadow. So what choice do I got? Besides eatin' {#Emph}you? PolyphemusAboutFriendship01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0007): You coulda had my friendship. A couple of my sheep. But instead? You spit in my eye. Melinoe (Melinoe_0494): I have done no such thing. I merely need access to the docks. Yet you insist on getting in my way. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0008): Put yourself in my sandals. What would {#Emph}you {#Prev}do? You'd say: {#Emph}I don't like the way you're treating me. I am gonna eat you. PolyphemusAboutHeracles01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0319): How is it you detain {#Emph}me {#Prev}every time, yet the mighty Heracles can rampage through the city all he likes and never has to deal with you? Or so he says. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0138): It's called a {#Emph}double standard{#Prev}, little sheep. Don't need my eye to know he's way bigger than you. You can knock me out for a nice short nap; he can knock me into next week. No thanks. PolyphemusAboutInsomnia01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0142): Funny. Running into you again and again like this? It's made for some of the best sleep I got in years. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0322): Is that so? Well it would be even easier for me to knock you out cold if you didn't fight back. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0143): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, the fight's what does the trick. I don't give it my all, I don't get that deep relaxing slumber afterwards. Or the opportunity to get a hearty meal. PolyphemusAboutInsomnia02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0323): You know, if you've been having trouble sleeping, there's got to be a better solution than these repeated drubbings from me. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0144): I tried a lot of stuff. Sleeping on a full stomach, sleeping on an empty stomach. Nothing worked, but this? This works just fine for now... PolyphemusAboutMeat01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4361): For all these nights we've fought, you don't even know my name, do you, Cyclops? I'm still nothing but a piece of meat. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0524): Hey, you said it, not me. Besides, it's not like {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}the one stomping in here, frightening my sheep... well no I guess I do some of the time, but still. PolyphemusAboutMedea01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0136): Somethin' {#Emph}nasty {#Prev}in the air tonight. And it's not just {#Emph}you {#Prev}or the stink from town. Must be that witch up to no good. You palling up with her? Melinoe (MelinoeField_0318): If you know of Lady Medea then you must know she's not somebody to be crossed. She would not hesitate to curse my foes; including you. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0137): Was that a threat? I think it was. You don't go saying stuff like that, not in this town. Your {#Emph}pal {#Prev}knows to stay where I can't smell her, unlike {#Emph}you. PolyphemusAboutMelinoe01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0445): I know your scent but don't got any real clue what you look like. Probably you're kind of like this shepherd's crook I got between my teeth. No meat on you at all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3159): Perhaps if you knew my appearance you'd be less inclined to treat me as livestock. My hair is pale as wheat; I'm clad in saffron and silver; and I wield the Nocturnal Arms, forged in the depths of Chaos. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0446): {#Emph}Mmm{#Prev}, wheat and saffron! Throw in some sheep's milk, pinch of sea-salt, little of {#Emph}this{#Prev}, little of {#Emph}that{#Prev}? Then throw it in the fire for a bit... and you'll have bread to die for. PolyphemusAboutMoving01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0455): Living here, it has its ups and downs. Lately for instance I don't get a lot of peace, though I sleep like a rock. I don't know, maybe I ought to move... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3164): I wholeheartedly support that choice. Aren't you more accustomed to island living anyhow? This city life, even on the outskirts here... the pace is far too quick. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0456): I know what {#Emph}you {#Prev}want me to do. Although I miss the island life now that you bring it up. Still got unwanted company sometimes but not so much as now. PolyphemusAboutName01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0347): Who told {#Emph}you {#Prev}you could call me by my name, {#Emph}eh? {#Prev}I never introduced myself to you. What, you gonna start calling me Poly next like I'm your pal? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2858): I can't imagine you have many {#Emph}pals {#Prev}with how you go on trying to eat anything that moves. Though, we could still be friends! Put all that trying-to-eat-me behind us? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0348): {#Emph}Nah! {#Prev}Got all the pals I need. The sheep back there, dead below the dirt down here. You know what I {#Emph}do {#Prev}need, though? {#Emph}Yeah {#Prev}I think you do. PolyphemusAboutNobody01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0011): You know who's disrespected me like this? Nobody. Nobody took my sheep. Took my eye. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2447): Yes, well, sometimes we've no one to blame but ourselves. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0012): Nobody's gonna pay for all that someday. But you're gonna pay right now. {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}Metaphorically, I mean! I'm not gonna take your money. Just gonna eat ya... bones and all. PolyphemusAboutNobody02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0314): You said nobody took your eye before, as well as your sheep. How did you lose them, then? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0131): Nobody played a dirty trick on me, is how. Bunch of sailors thought they could get away with my sheep, so I ate a couple of 'em. The sailors, that is! But Nobody got me when I wasn't looking. Then he got away... Melinoe (MelinoeField_0315): And you've sought vengeance on this Nobody ever since? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0132): Oh, not me personally! Someday, somebody's gonna get Nobody for what he did. Though, I am gonna get {#Emph}you {#Prev}right here and now. PolyphemusAboutNobody03 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0289): No wonder you and Nobody are pals. He and his rats are the only ones that ever got away from me, other than you. That worthless good-for-nothing put you up to this? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1949): His name is Odysseus! He's a great hero and tactician, though you needn't worry about slaying him, for he's long dead already. Not your problem anymore. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0514): Don't matter if he's dead, I'll eat him anyways. And don't care what he calls himself. He's always gonna be a Nobody to me. Now how 'bout I send him a message? PolyphemusAboutNobody04 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0520): Nobody's not with you this time, is he? Good at running away, that guy. Knew I'd seen the last of him, found out I {#Emph}smelled {#Prev}the last of him, and maybe now I {#Emph}heard {#Prev}the last of him too. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4359): I don't think Odysseus plans to make a habit of visiting, no. Which means you won't ever get to hear what happened when he first escaped from you. It's quite a tale! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0521): Think I can live with that. Nobody's a dirty sneak... who's gonna want a story about a guy like him? PolyphemusAboutNobodyKeepsake01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0287): {#Emph} {#Prev}I never forget a scent, you know. And you got somethin' that's familiar to me from way back when. I know those Bones. {#Emph}Nobody {#Prev}had 'em before you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1948): You must mean these Knuckle Bones... if they've ever been a source of ill fortune for you before, then perhaps you know what's coming. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0288): Nobody's your {#Emph}pal{#Prev}, is that what you expect me to believe? Then first I'm gonna crush {#Emph}your {#Prev}bones, and then I'll eat 'em. And those Knuckle Bones, too. PolyphemusAboutOdysseusQuest01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0515): Hey meat, smells to me like you brought those Knuckle Bones again. Nobody really gave you those, huh? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4356): Ask him yourself, Cyclops. Nobody wants to speak with you. {#Emph}Heed now my voice, Odysseus; one whom you sought is here! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0516): {#Emph}Nobody... {#Prev}can't smell ya for nothing but that's your voice, all right. Why not come a little {#Emph}closer {#Prev}so I can hear ya better? Odysseus (Odysseus_0571): I'm afraid you won't be able to consume me in my current state, Cyclops, because I'm long since dead. A mere projection of a Shade, but I did wish to have a word! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0517): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, ya really {#Emph}are {#Prev}already dead. Always thought I'd kill ya myself. But ya got the last laugh again. Odysseus (Odysseus_0572): Not here to laugh, but to ask you a question. Back when you imprisoned me and my men, killing several of us, you ended up {#Emph}losing {#Prev}your one eye whilst we escaped... was it worth it? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0518): ...I don't remember most meals. Think that's pretty normal. But I remember your crew... tough meat, aged under the sun and all. But worth my eye? {#Emph}Nah{#Prev}, wasn't the best trade. Odysseus (Odysseus_0573): Nor was it good for me, or them. Well {#Emph}anyhow! {#Prev}It seems we each gave one another lasting, bitter scars. Though mine is merely psychological. I'll leave you to the Princess now, you murderous bastard. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0519): Shove off, pal. I didn't ever want to see you again anyways. PolyphemusAboutOlympus01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0345): So how is it over there, across the drink? Heard it's been snowing. Sounds like a real rotten place to live. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2831): What, you mean Mount Olympus? The gods themselves quite like it, enough to want to fiercely defend it from the Titan you decided to support. But, yes... it's rather cold. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0346): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, I could never settle in a place like that. I like the temperature same way I like my meat, nice and hot. 'Course I can also eat it raw. Can't be too picky, and all that. PolyphemusAboutPackagedBounties01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0447): I know when somethin's off, and somethin's off. What are you up to, {#Emph}meat? {#Prev}Other than getting caught by me like every other time you tried to sneak through here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3160): Oh I'm not sneaking; in fact I'm here for {#Emph}you {#Prev}this time, Cyclops. The Origin of All Existence is interested to see if I have what it takes to lay you to rest. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0448): {#Emph}Origin of All Existence...? {#Prev}You took a job to take me out, {#Emph}that's {#Prev}what I'm hearing from you? Well, you wouldn't be the first to try it. Now let me {#Emph}demonstrate {#Prev}what happened to the rest. PolyphemusAboutPackagedBounties02 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0449): Oh hey! The Origin of All Existence wanted me to let you know, you're just not cuttin' it. And the whole deal is off. I also get to eat you now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3161): I find it exceedingly difficult to believe that Primordial Chaos would have been in contact with {#Emph}you {#Prev}about such matters. Easier to believe this is all part of the current Trial. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0450): If this is all part of some {#Emph}Trial{#Prev}, that makes me the judge. And I hereby declare you're {#Emph}dinner. {#Prev}That is unless {#Emph}you {#Prev}or your pal {#Emph}Primordial Chaos {#Prev}plan to do somethin' about it. PolyphemusAboutPast01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0139): Just wanted to be left alone. Move to the countryside, quiet life of the shepherd and all. Only for you to drag me out of retirement. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0320): I've done no such thing. I'm going to the docks. You're choosing to try and stop me, when you could be tending to your sheep instead. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0140): Oh I'll {#Emph}tend {#Prev}to them all right. But in order to do that, I got to tend to the likes of {#Emph}you {#Prev}first. Just like I used to in the good old days. PolyphemusAboutPoseidon01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0310): You're very obstinate for a peaceful shepherd. Did Poseidon do something to offend you at some point? Is {#Emph}that {#Prev}what this is about? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0125): Oh, I don't get {#Emph}offended... {#Prev}I get {#Emph}even. {#Prev}And you don't get to ask questions no more... you get {#Emph}eaten. PolyphemusAboutPoseidon02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0311): Last I'll say about Poseidon, I swear. He's my uncle, you know. For what it's worth... I'm sorry if he truly led you to believe you were his son. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0126): Yeah, well, I like to play up the family resemblance just in case. Though I'm glad he's not my pop neither. Otherwise I'd be about to eat my own cousin, and that'd be real weird. PolyphemusAboutPrometheus01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0457): The dead... they talk sometimes, or try. Nothin' better to do around here. Know what they're going on about? I couldn't make it out at first, but sounds an awful lot like... {#Emph}Prometheus. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3165): The Titan of Foresight, and one of your allies, in case you've not met; for apparently you serve the same master. What have the wretched dead to say about the likes of him? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0458): Mostly just moans and groans. Might be they're hungry like me! 'Cause if Prometheus really made off with fire from the gods like I'm hearin'... he probably knows how to cook. PolyphemusAboutSayingLittle01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0526): Been finding if I talk too much, it messes with my sleep. Maybe we ought to cut with the chat and go straight to it. But I don't mean to be rude, so you... got any last words, meat? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4363): ...Certainly, my last words are: You're never going to eat me, and you're never going to stop me, but you're welcome to keep trying, and cheers for all the Wool! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0527): Wait, hold on... so {#Emph}you're {#Prev}the one who's been stealing all my Wool this whole time? {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, now that {#Emph}does {#Prev}it... PolyphemusAboutSheep01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_0321): If you care so much about your sheep, why keep putting them in harm's way? Not to mention eating them. Let them leave here, now. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0141): 'Scuse me? I didn't ask you for your shepherding advice, and besides... these sheep got nowhere else to be. And we're the {#Emph}dinner entertainment. PolyphemusAboutShrine01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0451): Hairs on the back of my neck all standin' up, and not 'cause of {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Or maybe it is, but... it's like I got a {#Emph}mark {#Prev}on me. Not had this feeling in a while. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3162): Nothing personal, Cyclops. But the Testament of Night requires your defeat. You needn't concern yourself with the inner workings of it, so how about we just fight. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0452): Testament of {#Emph}what? {#Prev}I didn't get a damn word you said at the beginnin' there, but you got me on board at {#Emph}just fight!{#Prev} PolyphemusAboutShrine02 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0453): So you can mess with how things work at night? Between the feeling in my gut and the nonsense you've been talkin', I can tell you've been up to no good. You some kind of {#Emph}witch? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3163): Lady Medea isn't the only one to practice around here. Since you're finally wising up to our true strength, know that you violate the will of Night herself by standing in my way. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0454): See, there you go again with all the fancy talk. But hey, I could go for a fancy meal just as soon as a tough piece of meat! Maybe you're both. PolyphemusAboutShrine02_B Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0453): So you can mess with how things work at night? Between the feeling in my gut and the nonsense you've been talkin', I can tell you've been up to no good. You some kind of {#Emph}witch? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3163_B): Since you're finally wising up to our true strength, know that you violate the will of Night herself by standing in my way. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0454): See, there you go again with all the fancy talk. But hey, I could go for a fancy meal just as soon as a tough piece of meat! Maybe you're both. PolyphemusAboutSleep01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0528): Not heard you show up in a while! Glad you're back. Been gone so long it's really been eatin' into my sleep schedule. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4364): For a moment there, I thought you were genuinely pleased at my return. But you just want me to render you unconscious. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0529): Yeah. That or stand still long enough for me to eat you up. But you don't seem interested in that, so I'll just go for the unconscious thing. I'm easy to please. PolyphemusAboutThessaly01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0285): Where do you think you're goin', anyways? No ship that sails from the docks back there is gonna take the likes of {#Emph}you. {#Prev}Come to think of it... lately, we've had no ships at all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1947): The deathless fleet of Chronos is still out there in the waters of the Rift. Apparently when one ship sinks, another rises to replace it from the depths, drowned sailors for its crew... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0286): You're pulling my leg. The dead can sail nowadays? I thought they were no good for anything but food. Might have to teach 'em to take on some of my household chores... PolyphemusAboutTyphon01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3166): I remember back when first we met, you seemed {#Emph}enormous... {#Prev}much bigger than most any other foe I'd ever faced. But now, you're hardly any match for me. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0459): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, thanks. And I remember back when first {#Emph}we {#Prev}met, my sleeping schedule was completely out of whack! But it's all better now. And I've still got my figure! {#Emph}Enormous{#Prev}, was it? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3167): That's all a matter of perspective, as I've learned. For instance, you're quite minuscule in comparison to the Father of All Monsters, Typhon. He's properly enormous. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0460): I'll have to take your word for it. Anyways just how big can he be? No more than three square meals' worth if I had to guess. Been too long since I had some monster meat... PolyphemusAboutUnderworld01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0119): You some kind of {#Emph}deathless goddess of the Underworld{#Prev}, you said? Seems you'd be better off staying on {#Emph}your {#Prev}side of the fence. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0307): I'm here to pay my relatives a visit. You just keep getting in the way. Almost as though violence better suits you than the shepherd's life. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0120): Why, you're a real thinker for a slice of meat! Just 'cause I'm retired don't mean I don't want to work up an appetite no more, does it now? PolyphemusAboutUnderworld01B Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0121): {#Emph} {#Prev}You stink like the dead. But you're not from the town. You're from further below. You'd be better off staying on your side of the fence. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0307): I'm here to pay my relatives a visit. You just keep getting in the way. Almost as though violence better suits you than the shepherd's life. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0120): Why, you're a real thinker for a slice of meat! Just 'cause I'm retired don't mean I don't want to work up an appetite no more, does it now? PolyphemusAboutWar01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0129): {#Emph} {#Prev}Look, I'm just a humble shepherd trying to live in peace. But I gotta protect my own, you understand. Plus, I gotta eat. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0313): You call this trying to live in peace?! Perhaps you shouldn't be interfering with my efforts to put an end to this war raging all around us! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0130): The dead don't bother me. It's the living always been a pain in my behind. Good thing the {#Emph}living {#Prev}taste better than the {#Emph}dead. PolyphemusAltFightAboutMedea01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0509): You know it's {#Emph}nice {#Prev}here with this witch around. I'm normally not big on talk, more about the olfactory, and the auditory, and all that. So I might let her handle the conversatin' for a bit... PolyphemusAltFightMetMedeaEarlier01 Medea (Medea_0217): Well here we are already, sorceress! Mere moments prior we were speaking amicably by my cauldron, and yet now, it's come to {#Emph}this. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3932): I know you're to confront me here because of the Oath we took, Lady Medea, but the Cyclops hasn't had as good of an excuse... Medea (Medea_0218): Come, you've trespassed on his property, for one, and he is famished, for another! Look at him, he's at a loss for words. Lord Polyphemus, you {#Emph}must {#Prev}say something! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0508): How 'bout I let my {#Emph}feet {#Prev}do the talkin' {#Emph}this {#Prev}time? PolyphemusBarelyLostAgainstHim01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0283): Almost got me last time, but not quite. Come to finish the job? You wouldn't be the first to try. But I'm still here, and you don't see anybody else around, do ya? Melinoe (MelinoeField_1946): Finish {#Emph}what {#Prev}job? You're not my mark. I'd just as soon slip past you and be on my way, except your blasted sense of smell and hearing are too good. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0284): Why, thanks. And you know how I keep 'em top-notch like this, don't ya? When you got gifts like these, you gotta put 'em to good use.

Melinoe (MelinoeField_0306): I am a deathless goddess of the Underworld; the shadows will always take me before you will. Yet you would fight me endlessly anyway? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0118): Oh yeah! Everybody slips up once in a while. Even you. And when you do... we'll find out just how {#Emph}deathless {#Prev}you are. PolyphemusLowHealth01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0145): {#Emph} {#Prev}I smell {#Emph}blood. {#Prev}I was just getting ready to prepare my next meal... but the town welcoming committee must have prepped you already. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0324): The {#Emph}welcoming committee{#Prev}, as you call it, are servants of Chronos... and shall suffer for their arrogance. You would cast your lot with {#Emph}them? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0146): You know, I used to have a little trouble eating food that looked back at me, or talked back at me. But I don't got that problem no more. PolyphemusLowHealth02 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0147): {#Emph}Ooh, {#Prev}I can tell the town welcoming committee must have done a number on you already. Softened you up {#Emph}good. {#Prev}All the better for {#Emph}me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_0325): The city's filled with the unburied dead. I can slay them but they merely rise again; they're very troublesome. The same as you. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0148): Now don't you get testy. This is {#Emph}my {#Prev}pasture not yours. And every little sheep around here answers to {#Emph}me. PolyphemusMiscStart01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0013): Stepped out of line {#Emph}again{#Prev}, little sheep. You know what happens next. PolyphemusMiscStart02 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0014): {#Emph} {#Prev}Somethin' stinks... oh I know what it is. It's {#Emph}you. PolyphemusMiscStart03 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0015): No sneaking past my sheep. No sneaking past me, neither. PolyphemusMiscStart04 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0016): One of these nights... I'm gonna catch you. And I'm gonna eat you. PolyphemusMiscStart05 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0017): It's a little early for my dinnertime, but hey! I can be flexible. PolyphemusMiscStart06 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0018): {#Emph}Phew! {#Prev}Know I could smell you from a league away? PolyphemusMiscStart07 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0019): You just don't know what's good for you, do you? PolyphemusMiscStart08 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0020): You want some more of this, that's fine by me. Oh, I got plenty. PolyphemusMiscStart09 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0021): Don't normally like eating my food raw. But then, I like to try new stuff. PolyphemusMiscStart10 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0022): {#Emph}Shh! {#Prev}Think I heard somethin'. You hear it, right? The dinner bell... PolyphemusMiscStart11 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0149): Well, what do you know? It's dinnertime already... PolyphemusMiscStart12 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0150): All this shepherding all day works up a real appetite... PolyphemusMiscStart13 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0151): Welcome back to the flock, little sheep. Now, come 'ere... PolyphemusMiscStart14 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0152): Got myself a good night's rest, but not enough to eat... PolyphemusMiscStart15 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0153): You want to get to those docks, I want to eat you. Just the way it is. PolyphemusMiscStart16 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0154): Do remember to watch for falling rocks in this town. PolyphemusMiscStart17 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0155): Here comes some {#Emph}dead meat{#Prev}, fresh from out of town... PolyphemusMiscStart18 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0156): I really got to do somethin' about that wall you keep on getting through... PolyphemusMiscStart19 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0157): You're back for some more shepherding, huh, little sheep? PolyphemusMiscStart20 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0158): No one gets in this town, no one gets out; those are the rules. PolyphemusMiscStart21 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0159): Got to hand it to ya. I've been sleeping like a baby lately over here. PolyphemusMiscStart22 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0160): After a hard day's shepherding, I could go for a good knock-out about now. PolyphemusMiscStart23 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0161): Even if I can't eat you, least I'll get some decent sleep here in a bit. PolyphemusMiscStart24 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0162): Guess it's almost my bedtime. But first, a little bit of exercise... PolyphemusMiscStart25 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0321): Kick you right into the Moon right now if I could see the thing. PolyphemusMiscStart26 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0322): Really want to get stomped on some more, I'm good for it. PolyphemusMiscStart27 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0323): You want to end up like my sheep, you keep this up. PolyphemusMiscStart28 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0324): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, you just wait'll I get these hands on {#Emph}you. PolyphemusMiscStart29 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0325): Little early for my dinnertime, but then, I shouldn't eat so late. PolyphemusMiscStart30 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0326): You step onto my turf, you pay the price, that's just the rules. PolyphemusMiscStart31 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0530): Last time you knocked me out so fast, got the best sleep I had in a while! PolyphemusMiscStart32 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0531): Didn't even get a piece of you last time, but you can't get away forever... PolyphemusPostEpilogue01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4362): This isn't going to last, you know, Cyclops. At some point, the City of Ephyra shall be rebuilt. Its streets will be teeming with mortals, the docks bustling with seafarers... rather than this. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0525): What are you, an oracle or somethin'? If they try and put the town back together, great. More meat for me whenever I want! You'll have to do for now. PolyphemusPostTrueEnding01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4123): Your service to the Titan Chronos is complete, Cyclops! His war against Olympus is ended if you've not already heard. I hold no enmity toward you. Be on your way! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0493): I was just wondering how come I haven't gotten paid. Thought maybe my shepherding hasn't been up to snuff. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4124): Chronos was compensating you for {#Emph}tending sheep? {#Prev}I thought you were supposed to be guarding the city gates. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0494): What do you even know about it. You really think I'm gonna leave my flock now, after all we've been through? And I can always earn my meal ticket some other way. PolyphemusPostTrueEnding02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4125): I see you decided not to act on my prior recommendation, for the good of your flock, whose sheep you often eat. For how much longer do you plan to bar me from the Rift? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0495): Thinking it might be a while. Got my flock, got my barn, been sleeping better lately... and having to uproot? Settle someplace else? Packing, and unpacking, I don't want any of that. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4126): How fortunate you've made yourself such a comfortable arrangement that happens to be right in my blasted way. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0496): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, that's just another perk: I even get my nightly exercise. PolyphemusPostTrueEnding03 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0522): How come you said whatever war is over, {#Emph}huh? {#Prev}The town's about the same. Last I checked the dead are meant to be underground, not walking through the streets. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4360): The war with Chronos is over, it's just... there are a few remaining details being sorted out, and the Underworld is in enough of a state of disrepair that it isn't back in order yet. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0523): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, that's too bad. I'd tell you to go down there and help 'em out, but that might cut into my sleep routine, which has been pretty good lately. Now come on, it's almost bedtime here. PolyphemusSearch.AIData.PreAttackVoiceLines Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0023): Where are you...? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0024): Where are you... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0025): No use hiding from me... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0026): I'll find you... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0027): Where'd you go...? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0028): I know you're here... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0029): Can't hide forever... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0030): You're gonna pay... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0412): You're out there somewhere... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0413): Go on, just try me... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0414): Oh when I find you... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0031): Here, little sheep... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0032): Couldn'ta gone far... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0411): Oh look, I'm wide open! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0415): Don't leave me hanging here. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0416): Too damn noisy {#Emph}eh? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0409): {#Emph}Dumm, dum, dun, dumm... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0410): {#Emph}Dum, dumm, dum, dumm... PolyphemusStomp.AIData.PreAttackVoiceLines Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0043): Have some of this! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0044): Here! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0045): Want some of this? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0046): Want some more? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0047): I'll get you. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0048): You... Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0049): That's it! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0050): This one's on me! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0051): Eat this! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0052): Chew on this! Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0053): You little... PolyphemusWonAgainstHim01 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0111): Oh, {#Emph}hey! {#Prev}I wanted to say thanks. Gave me a real zinger there last time, you know that? Melinoe (Melinoe_0938): You're back. And you're grateful that I vanquished you earlier? You seem more the sort to hold a grudge. Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0112): I am, I am, it's just... I hadn't had a good night's sleep in I-don't-know-how-long. After you knocked me out cold, I woke up feeling more refreshed than ever! And real hungry, too. PolyphemusWonAgainstHim02 Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0113): {#Emph}Tsch! {#Prev}Don't even try and sneak by. What, you think you were gonna catch me napping here? Not gonna happen. Melinoe (Melinoe_0939): It might. If you keep blocking my path, you'll get another thrashing, and you'll be sound asleep again in no time. That what you want? Polyphemus (Polyphemus_0114): Oh! Got a dilemma on my hands! I'm always sleepy, yeah. But I'm always hungry, too. Guess that makes this a {#Emph}can't-lose proposition. PoseidonAboutAphrodite01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0070): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, you seem lovelier than ever, Niece! As though the splendorous Aphrodite herself bestowed to you her gifts! She did so, didn't she, the scamp! PoseidonAboutApollo01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0020): You've met the brilliant Apollo, have you, Niece? He's near as popular with mortals as am I! Perhaps among his many talents he can help you get us out of this! PoseidonAboutAres01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0351): At last, you've met militant {#Emph}Ares{#Prev}, little niece! Sometimes I think that {#Emph}he's {#Prev}to blame for everything, in all his warring ways! But then if not for him we'd have more difficulty fighting back. So I consider it a wash! PoseidonAboutAres02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0352): Is that the so-called blessing of my nephew Ares that you have already, or are you simply in the mood for some unmitigated wrath? Well don't forget the seas can be quite moody, too! PoseidonAboutArtemis01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0209): Apollo said you met your flighty cousin Artemis! Now that's some tracking skill, I must admit! She's gone so often, figured she was merely lollygagging with her woodland friends again! PoseidonAboutArtemis02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0210): {#Emph}Whaa—! {#Prev}So precisely did you dispatch your foes that I near mistook you for independent Artemis, my niece! I've no idea where {#Emph}that {#Prev}rascal is! PoseidonAboutAthena01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0317): Wise Athena noted that the two of you have finally met! It ought have been the lot of us gathered here to welcome you with open arms, not just a bit of curt formality from that one! Not the warmest welcoming committee, is she? PoseidonAboutAutomatons01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0313): About the wondrous Automatons that I described before... I ought have also mentioned that they currently cannot distinguish friend from foe! Hephaestus probably is working on that detail, but until then, best to give them a wide berth! PoseidonAboutAutomatons02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0314): Our powerful Automaton defenses that Hephaestus has been busy churning out are excellent at killing anything that moves! So don't take their behavior as a personal affront! We weren't counting on you getting all the way up here! PoseidonAboutAutomatons03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0315): How disrespectful that our own Automatons would treat you like our common foe! Unfortunately they don't understand the meaning of respect at all! Last time I told them {#Emph}don't you dare attack my niece{#Prev}, they attacked {#Emph}me! PoseidonAboutAxe01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0297): I must say that's a most-substantial labrys that you wield! The Moonstone Axe, Hephaestus says? Well nothing bests a trusty trident! The tongs of this little fork of mine have wrenched free many a blade! PoseidonAboutBoons01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0379): You have discovered by now all my many Boons! I'm always thinking about more, of course! Used to have lots of different ones if you must know! But times have changed, and Brother Zeus says we must concentrate! PoseidonAboutCatFamiliar01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0304): What is that creature with you there, a {#Emph}cat? {#Prev}You should know something about cats, Niece: They hate water! And yet those {#Emph}fools {#Prev}require it to live! Perhaps that cat knows better, though, if it has the sense to follow you through {#Emph}hell! PoseidonAboutCatFamiliar02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0305): I take back all the horrid things I said regarding cats! For yours is an excellent fisherman. Fisher-{#Emph}cat? {#Prev}The point is I'd not known such creatures could appreciate the sea... which means {#Emph}they {#Prev}can be appreciated by {#Emph}me! PoseidonAboutCharybdis01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0432): Vast is my knowledge of the sea, and even {#Emph}still {#Prev}it has its many mysteries! For instance, how can such a horrifying monster as Charybdis come from such a wondrous place? {#Emph}And {#Prev}what's it doing in my {#Emph}Rift? {#Prev}Besides gorging itself! PoseidonAboutChoices01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0084): As gods, we {#Emph}all {#Prev}must make hard choices, Niece. Just earlier, I was unable to decide between causing a massive earthquake or a deadly tidal wave! Ended up doing both, but you catch my meaning, right? PoseidonAboutChronos01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0013): When first I heard our last, best hope for stopping Chronos was the secondborn of Hades and his Queen, I said: wait, {#Emph}who? {#Prev}So then they had a {#Emph}girl! {#Prev}The Titan must have struck your father's House right after you were born! PoseidonAboutChronos02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0012): That wily old Titan, Chronos! I won't sink to calling him my father! We had it out with him before, a while back. Thought we had settled it for good! {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, but we were young and foolish then! PoseidonAboutChronos03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0014): It once took {#Emph}six {#Prev}of us to bring the Titan Chronos down! Myself, your father, Brother Zeus, his lovely Hera, Demeter, and Hestia as well! We'd mighty weapons for the job and everything! PoseidonAboutChronos04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0015): Old Chronos never had even a drop of love for me, or any of his children, Niece. Imagine, hating your own offspring! And not just {#Emph}some {#Prev}of them, but {#Emph}all! PoseidonAboutChronos05 Poseidon (Poseidon_0017): Once wily Chronos took your father's House, he mustered forces to besiege us here! We can't see anything down in that Underworld, so he plain caught us out! But still, we held him off! PoseidonAboutChronos06 Poseidon (Poseidon_0032): As soon as Chronos attacked, why, we retaliated! A cataclysm like you've never seen! Ripped half this land apart. Left all the Titan's armies high and dry! PoseidonAboutChronosPlan01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0364): Old Chronos warrants every bit of justice you dispensed and more, my niece! I was already angry with him after everything he'd done, and that was {#Emph}prior {#Prev}to my realizing that he'd unleashed terrifying Typhon on us all! PoseidonAboutDams01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0063): You know what dams are, Niece? Ramshackle structures mortals use to hold my waters back! But when I'm angry, {#Emph}bwaah{#Prev}, my water crashes through! Be like that water, don't hold back, all right? PoseidonAboutDemeter01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0171): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, you've earned the frosty blessing of {#Emph}Elder Goddess Demeter{#Prev}, as I like to call her! To which she threatens to freeze my oceans! To which I apologize profusely, and we move on! PoseidonAboutDionysus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0316): It ought to be all-hands-on-deck here when we have the Titan's armies battering our gates! But wine-loving Dionysus, he so desires {#Emph}peace{#Prev}, yet refuses to {#Emph}fight {#Prev}for it! Oh I'd drown his sorrows myself if I but knew where he went! PoseidonAboutDisasters01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0085): Much as I'd hate to see the world's surface devastated in the wake of our great war, I'm prepared to do whatever it takes! Even if it means causing much of that devastation myself! PoseidonAboutEris01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0291): Most of you Underworld gods are more than welcome on Olympus here, when we are not at war; but not {#Emph}Eris! {#Prev}Her antics ruined one too many feasts! And now she flaps about our borders, mocking us and making matters {#Emph}worse! PoseidonAboutFamily01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0065): Our family's scattered to the winds a bit, my niece! You've heard from those of us upon this mountaintop, but Zeus sent several of his children to take care of things down closer to the base! They're probably just fine! PoseidonAboutFamily02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0208): I know it can be difficult, but now we all must stand together, Niece! An uncommon family with a common goal! A crashing wave to wash away these troubled times! PoseidonAboutFates01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0184): What's all this flotsam about Chronos abducting the Three Fates? {#Emph}Impossible! {#Prev}A ploy to take us off our guard! Don't go believing everything you hear, my niece! PoseidonAboutFields01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0258): Where on our green Earth do you reside {#Emph}now{#Prev}, Niece? It near resembles some of Demeter's rolling fields of grain! Who knew old Hades had a pasture growing in the Underworld, if but a rather dismal-looking one, near as I can tell! PoseidonAboutFindingHades01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0298): We heard the news that you found old Hades, Niece! The {#Emph}most-excellent {#Prev}news, I should say! Except the part that he is bound in Tartarus, that isn't excellent at all. {#Emph}We'll get you out of this, Brother! PoseidonAboutFindingHades01_B Poseidon (Poseidon_0303): My crusty elder brother, you found him? In one piece?! I feared Hades would end up much like Chronos did once we were through with him way back. But Chronos simply chained him up in Tartarus? That's rather twisted actually... PoseidonAboutFishing01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0179): Why, you possess a Rod of Fishing there! What lingering doubts I had of you just vaporized. What are we even fighting for, if not the right to fish whensoever we desire? PoseidonAboutFishing02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0180): You know, Niece, the Cocytus River flowing through those musty woods of yours is quite the fishing-spot! You'd be doing all those river denizens a favor getting them out of there! PoseidonAboutFishing03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0262): You've something freshly caught thanks to that Rod of Fishing, I can tell! I don't permit just {#Emph}anybody {#Prev}to dredge up my denizens of the deep! Yet it's almost as though they wish to hop right out of there for you! PoseidonAboutFishing04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0319): Well, hurry up and take my Boon, for there's an opportunity to use your trusty Rod of Fishing right nearby! I sense such things down in the very fiber of my being, and shall observe your catch-attempts with keen interest! PoseidonAboutFishingQuest01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0396): You've some experience with witchery, fine! But you have much to learn about the fishing arts! That you have demonstrated interest is the first step toward mastery; catching a huge variety of water denizens is the {#Emph}next! PoseidonAboutFishingQuest02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0397): That you set aside such ample time to fish has not been lost on {#Emph}me{#Prev}, my niece! And you caught more types of water denizens than I can {#Emph}easily {#Prev}count! You already have my finest blessings; you now also have my deep respect. PoseidonAboutFishingUpgrade01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0398): Now {#Emph}that {#Prev}is quite the handsome Rod of Fishing you possess, my niece! Premium materials, delicate proportions, sturdy grip; a {#Emph}masterwork! {#Prev}If I were a fish myself, I'd desire to be caught by nothing less! PoseidonAboutFortress01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0363): How did you like our fortress at this mountain's peak? It once stood proud and alabaster white before sinister Typhon corrupted it with all his grime and brood! But it's a sturdy structure and held fast so far! PoseidonAboutFrogFamiliar01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0182): One thing about me, Niece, is I've a keen eye for amphibians; and that one with you there is a fine specimen indeed! Mislikes briny waters, but no beast is perfect! PoseidonAboutHades01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0016): We never used to have much contact with your father. So when Hades ceased communicating with Olympus, we figured he was back to his old ways! Turns out that old sneak Chronos got him! There was nothing we could do! PoseidonAboutHades02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0018): Your father Hades and I didn't always get along. My crusty elder brother, I called him! Water under the bridge now. {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, how I miss his dour cheerlessness, my niece! PoseidonAboutHades03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0211): I scarce recall when last we spoke with your grim father, Niece! He never was the most sociable sort! When we stopped hearing from him, we figured he was simply in one of his {#Emph}moods{#Prev}, not in the clutches of Chronos! PoseidonAboutHadesReturn01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0424): How fares my crusty elder brother, is his home redecoration going well? Hades and I, we never used to talk too much since he moved underneath the earth! But now's the time for us to change all that! PoseidonAboutHephaestus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0173): Why, even from this vantage point, I see that silver of yours gleaming like the abalone shell! The mark of talented Hephaestus, isn't it? At least his {#Emph}handiwork {#Prev}looks good, {#Emph}hahahah ha-hah! PoseidonAboutHephaestus02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0172): Niece, you ever get a ringing in your ears? Well I do, and not from the water pressure, but from hearing good Hephaestus go {#Emph}a-clang, a-clang, a-clang! {#Prev}Why it's enough to drive me {#Emph}mad! PoseidonAboutHera01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0071): You're favored by Queen Hera, little Niece! That's her blessing, all right! High honor to have gotten it, especially for one who to my knowledge is unwed! She never favors {#Emph}me! PoseidonAboutHeracles01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0321): We {#Emph}do {#Prev}appreciate your intervention, though we've others pitching in! Such as stout-shouldered Heracles, you've seen him lately, yes? Even upon our snowy mountain here! I like you better, but he's {#Emph}good{#Prev}, I'll give him that! PoseidonAboutHermes01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0174): {#Emph}Whoa{#Prev}, my niece, you seem possessed of an uncanny haste! Such swiftness as to be the envy of that rascal Hermes, who as per usual is nowhere to be found. Some messenger {#Emph}he {#Prev}is! PoseidonAboutHestia01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0072): {#Emph}Oh-hoh{#Prev}, I haven't seen old Hestia this energized in ages, Niece! And now her fiery ability is yours! As to whoever said that fire and water don't mix, I'm here to prove them wrong! PoseidonAboutIcarus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0322): We've powerful defenses on the ground, but face attackers from the skies as well! Harpies, Dracons, {#Emph}more! {#Prev}Also this little winged mortal fellow buzzing all about! Brother Zeus near-bolted him before we realized that he was on {#Emph}our {#Prev}side! PoseidonAboutInFighting01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0224): Remember how I said that we don't ever fight with one another on Olympus, little Niece? Well, that might have been a slight exaggeration on my part. But I stand with Hera on this one! We think your efforts are best spent up here! PoseidonAboutKeepsake01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0256): {#Emph}Ah, haha! {#Prev}I see the tide's come in! Well, my niece... what do you say we sweep clean through those cheerless woods of yours as might a cataclysmic flood? PoseidonAboutKeepsake02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0264): I know well that impressive glimmer of the Vivid Sea that I bestowed to you, my niece! Not all my seas are quite as clear and blue; you have yourself a sample of the very best! PoseidonAboutKeepsake03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0403): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, there's the unmistakable refracting gleam of that Vivid Sea of mine, or I should say of {#Emph}yours! {#Prev}How it has flourished traveling with you! Your respect for my waters has not gone unnoticed here by me! PoseidonAboutLegendaryFish01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0372): You caught a Starsailor here on our mountaintop, did you? And of none-too-modest size! Oh, I know every fish within my seas! And other smaller bodies of water as well! PoseidonAboutLegendaryFish02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0399): You caught one of those ugly Chimaerids from the heart of Typhon's endless storm! A true {#Emph}abomination{#Prev}, not a true {#Emph}fish! {#Prev}But it has enough fishlike parts that we shall let it slide! PoseidonAboutLittleHades01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0043): Your brother, Niece, I used to call him little Hades... I, I think that fits you, {#Emph}too! {#Prev}Especially since {#Emph}he's {#Prev}gone! It should be clear whom I'm referring to, right, little Hades? PoseidonAboutLuxuries01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0064): A shame you had to grow up in the middle of nowhere, my niece! We gods require certain luxuries. Even your stodgy old father liked his gems and such! But you got by with nothing of the sort! PoseidonAboutManyFish01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0400): Why, you have caught practically all the water denizens under the sun, and underneath the earth! At least all the ones in all the regions that you normally traverse! That is perhaps your greatest feat thus far...! PoseidonAboutMelinoe01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0019): So you were raised in some dark hidden recess of the Underworld, something like that, my niece? Raised to find and vanquish the usurper of your father's throne? {#Emph}Haha{#Prev}, that's rich! PoseidonAboutMelinoe02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0025): My niece, you needn't be a witch to see your family is in dire straits right now. You needn't be a witch at all, if you ask me! I'd choose another way of life if I were you! PoseidonAboutNemesis01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0320): A goddess of considerable stature sometimes storms down through those depths, my niece! A friend of yours perhaps? For she bears fearsome Stygius, a blade that's served our family well! No match for this {#Emph}trident{#Prev}, of course! PoseidonAboutNeoChronos01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0427): As much I do welcome this now-gentler Father Chronos, who seems less desirous to see our home destroyed, I still am wary of that old coot! He's been cooperative, though...! PoseidonAboutOceanus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0036): Where are you, Niece, the bottom of the sea?! Or very close to it! Must be even darker than what you're accustomed to. And the {#Emph}terrible {#Prev}pressure! Not even {#Emph}I {#Prev}can stand it for too long! So how can {#Emph}you? PoseidonAboutOceanus02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0037): Your father never told me that his realm had all those twisting passageways right next to my domain! A {#Emph}drainage system {#Prev}of some sort, is it? Pouring right into my waters? Oh, I'd have words for Hades about {#Emph}this! PoseidonAboutOceanus03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0263): Those watery horrors you face... I just want you to know, they're not my fault! I don't abide such monsters in my realm. And so they sneak inside the Underworld to take their rancor out on you! PoseidonAboutOceanus04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0404): All that trudging through the Oceanus waters must have made you strong and {#Emph}swift{#Prev}, my niece! Now that's aquatic exercise for you! What better way to stay in {#Emph}perfect {#Prev}shape? PoseidonAboutOlympus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0309): What, my niece, you're here?! I'd come down and welcome you myself, except our mountain home is crawling with invaders as you've probably observed! So we are at the summit... like a bunch of turtles hiding in their shells! PoseidonAboutOlympus02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0310): You've seen it: Our mountain's like a cross between a luxurious palace and an impregnable fortress! The so-called {#Emph}legions of Chronos {#Prev}won't be getting through {#Emph}these {#Prev}walls! PoseidonAboutOlympus03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0311): Olympus, gutted like a {#Emph}fish! {#Prev}Used to be all sorts of Nymphs and such that had a standing invitation here to make themselves at home! Surely they'll return once the dust settles a bit! PoseidonAboutOlympus04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0405): These {#Emph}bothersome {#Prev}Satyrs, befouling our fair mountain! We've shored up our defenses against them, but by the time we clean up all the mess, they're {#Emph}back! PoseidonAboutOlympus05 Poseidon (Poseidon_0426): Even with Chronos having gone all soft, the battle on Olympus clearly isn't over yet! But we've shored up our defenses and are keeping all the remnant forces of Prometheus at bay! It's almost like a little {#Emph}ecosystem {#Prev}here! PoseidonAboutPackageBounty01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0257): I don't know what you did, exactly, Niece, but you have summoned me, and I am here! In spirit, anyway, and with such Boons as ought to practically ensure your victory! PoseidonAboutPackageBounty02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0255): Why, little Niece, you sailed down there faster than the trimmest mortal ship! Well then, what say we scour clean this little corner of the sea! PoseidonAboutPalace01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0380): My brother Zeus, he says you made it all the way up to our Palace, Niece! And sent the monster Typhon howling to the earth! Forgive my absence, all too many water-bodies to defend...! PoseidonAboutPalace02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0423): Terrible Typhon left his imprint on this mountainside, of that you can be sure! Even our Palace buckled under his immeasurable weight! But in the end, our Palace stands! Not he. PoseidonAboutPolyphemus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0221): The Cyclops Polyphemus bars your passage to the channel cutting through the countryside?! That spoilsport! Once played a little jape to make him think he was my son, and he's been sore about it since! PoseidonAboutPolyphemus02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0222): To think that {#Emph}anybody {#Prev}could have thought I sired such a monstrous scamp as Polyphemus! Still, I used to look out for him. Not like he could look out for himself with just one eye, {#Emph}hahaha! PoseidonAboutPolyphemus03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0089): If you got past Polyphemus before, you can do it again, can't you, my niece? Once you make it past the docks, it's a straight shot down the channel to Olympus! Treacherous waters, yes, but I can help you navigate, I'm sure! PoseidonAboutPolyphemus04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0377): You must not think too much of Cyclopes if Polyphemus is the only one you've met! They were our mighty allies once, you know! A shame what all has happened to their kind! PoseidonAboutPolyphemus05 Poseidon (Poseidon_0378): To think I once felt pity for that Polyphemus, Niece! A Cyclops losing his good eye to a mere mortal voyager? Oh how I {#Emph}boiled {#Prev}over it back then, seeking the vengeance he was not going to find! But {#Emph}this {#Prev}is how he repays me? PoseidonAboutPressure01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0030): Within my oceans, Niece, the deeper you go, the fiercer the pressure! It's almost like you're in too deep yourself! PoseidonAboutPrometheus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0308): What I would like to know, my niece, is many things, such as: Just {#Emph}how {#Prev}did devious Prometheus slip from his bonds? {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, these Titans! We can't seem to get rid of them for good. But we can douse the flames they stole at least! PoseidonAboutPrometheus02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0371): That scoundrel Prometheus got a proper {#Emph}punishment {#Prev}from you last night, Athena says! We've been unable to subdue him, as he's sneaky like the forces he commands! But now you've drawn him out! PoseidonAboutRain01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0214): Is that a bit of rainfall in your whereabouts? {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, you should see old Demeter and Zeus fight over who's responsible! I merely watch and laugh, for either way, it's more water for me! PoseidonAboutRareFish01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0373): The Stormgullets and such within the stagnant pools here on the mountain's summit, Niece... I am surprised your Rod of Fishing does not snap retrieving them, such is their monstrous strength! PoseidonAboutSayingLittle01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0431): My brother Zeus recently turned to me and said, {#Emph}Poseidon? There are times you talk too much! {#Prev}To which I said, {#Emph}you take that back! {#Prev}To which he said, {#Emph}no I shall not. {#Prev}To which I said, {#Emph}then fine! How about I talk less starting now? PoseidonAboutScylla01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0183): Word has reached me that you clashed with Scylla and her Siren followers! So {#Emph}that's {#Prev}where they ended up! They once were the torment of many a sailor, till I took care of {#Emph}them! PoseidonAboutScylla02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0259): I like to keep up with current events, and I hear you gave that loud-mouth Scylla and her Siren hangers-on quite the performance of your own! Too bad their godlike nature means they can't be killed! But they can certainly be shamed! PoseidonAboutSelene01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0021): You're shining like the Moon herself, my niece! Selene's aid, is it? Here I thought all she did was drive her pretty steeds over my ocean waves! She's dipping into other hobbies, then! PoseidonAboutShrine01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0367): {#Emph}Eugh{#Prev}, what is it about this night, my niece? Our foes all seem to have redoubled their efforts! Even {#Emph}retripled {#Prev}in some cases I daresay! As long as it's all due to your strange Underworld practices, according to our little Artemis! PoseidonAboutShrine02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0368): Oh, what a horrifying night this is, as though our very nightmares walk the earth, or swim across the sea! Our foes are taken with such frenzy that this couldn't possibly be {#Emph}your {#Prev}doing, unless you've lost your senses like the rest? PoseidonAboutStalemate01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0023): Ahoy, my magick-using niece, for it is I! We have the Titan in a stalemate, so you take all the time you need bailing us out! PoseidonAboutStalemate02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0026): We're positively {#Emph}drowning {#Prev}in the Titan's wretched forces, Niece! But we are {#Emph}gods! {#Prev}We've might enough to hold them off I think! PoseidonAboutStalemate03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0028): I trust your battles are proceeding well down there? As for our battles here, why, they are going swimmingly I'd say! We barely need your help! PoseidonAboutStorms01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0027): No telling when a storm's about to hit up here, my niece! Not even a big dangerous one such as this! You'd think I could have seen it coming, but you'd be wrong! PoseidonAboutSuit01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0318): Though I have wielded virtually every type of weapon in my day, I have never seen such armaments as you now use, to quite spectacular effect! You'll be an even match for our Automatons with {#Emph}that! PoseidonAboutSurface01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0031): You made it to the surface, little niece! Too bad we couldn't scour the place before you got here, though! We're right in the middle of a big shake-up! PoseidonAboutSurface02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0086): All that you look upon, both land and sea, that's {#Emph}my {#Prev}domain, you know! Long as you don't look up toward the heavens. That's the territory of your uncle Zeus! Though, I got the {#Emph}better {#Prev}share, I think! PoseidonAboutSurface03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0181): Wait, how is it that you live and breathe out here? I thought your father's line was doomed to linger underneath the earth, something like that? Ah, how the times have changed! PoseidonAboutSurface04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0312): You're getting closer to the snowy peaks that we call home! The biting chill is all part of our natural defenses, courtesy of Elder Goddess Demeter! We even have wondrous Automatons holding our foes at bay. You'll be {#Emph}amazed! PoseidonAboutSurfaceHelp01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0433): Whatever you have done to rile up old Chronos, he's taking it out on {#Emph}us! {#Prev}At least his forces on this mountain are! But fear not, for I have called for reinforcements! Several times! PoseidonAboutSurfaceThreat01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0369): Some sort of {#Emph}dangerous phenomenon {#Prev}is taking place here on the summit, Niece! We dare not get too close to it as yet... so if you've heard the others speculate about its origin, those are mere unsubstantiated {#Emph}rumors{#Prev}, nothing more! PoseidonAboutSurfaceThreat02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0370): The others say we face enormous {#Emph}Typhon {#Prev}as a threat, but I've seen no such thing! Of course I've lately not seen much of anything due to the cataclysmic storm up here! Though I {#Emph}am {#Prev}hearing a lot of low guttural roars! PoseidonAboutSwimming01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0022): I wonder, my good Niece, are you prepared to sink? Or are you prepared to swim? {#Emph}Swim{#Prev}, I say! Swim like our very livelihoods depend on it! PoseidonAboutThessaly01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0087): Welcome to my boundless terrifying seas, my niece! Unfortunately teeming with invaders now. Got my hands full dealing with {#Emph}them{#Prev}, if you must know! But see if you can break through their blockade! PoseidonAboutThessaly02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0088): Right on that very spot once stood a massive army headed for our mountain, Niece! So I just split the earth right under them, {#Emph}haha! {#Prev}So now we have a massive {#Emph}navy {#Prev}to contend with, and contend we shall! PoseidonAboutThessaly03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0299): You braved the waters in the Rift of Thessaly! A nautical experience not for the faint of heart, fraught as it is with deathless ships hell-bent on your family's destruction! May you have smoother sailing there next time! PoseidonAboutThessaly04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0300): When next you sail across the Rift, know this: I shall do my utmost to ensure a water-current speeds you mightily along! Though how to do it without benefiting the opposing ships...? PoseidonAboutThessaly05 Poseidon (Poseidon_0425): I promised I would close that Rift of Thessaly right up as soon as our war ended, {#Emph}but! {#Prev}Apparently we need for everything to be the way it was in order for your sorcery to work. Sounds like a promise I shall have to break! PoseidonAboutTrading01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0024): Here, my niece, what say we make a trade? My bountiful blessing in exchange for your fierce battle-skills! How fair a trade is that?! PoseidonAboutTyphon01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0355): Did you see the {#Emph}size {#Prev}of that terrible Typhon, my niece?! It has been so long since last we fought that I daresay he's grown still larger in the intervening time! And {#Emph}sneakier {#Prev}as well! All of that shaking here... it was from {#Emph}him! PoseidonAboutTyphon02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0356): Much like old Chronos, we have vanquished awful Typhon once before! Your Lord Uncle, he struck the final blow himself, a bolt of lightning right between the eyes! The two {#Emph}main {#Prev}eyes at least! He has so many of those eyes... PoseidonAboutTyphon03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0357): You may be wondering what wisdom we can share in how to deal with horrid Typhon, since we battled him before. You'll have to ask Athena about that! Or perhaps Zeus. I played a more supporting role during that clash is all! PoseidonAboutTyphon04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0430): The quaking on Olympus finally ceased! One of many benefits to awful Typhon being cast away! Apparently you have to face him somewhere still? At least some hallucinated revenant of him? Well I'm glad {#Emph}I {#Prev}don't! PoseidonAboutTyphonDeath01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0381): You somehow did it, Niece, Typhon is {#Emph}gone! {#Prev}There is no longer any trace of him up here! So now to do the same to {#Emph}Chronos{#Prev}, then? Go on, let's give him everything we've got! PoseidonAboutTyphonL01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0360): At least you made the awful Typhon's life more difficult last night, my niece! He almost crushed you like a {#Emph}shellfish{#Prev}, didn't he? But you created just enough annoyance that we pushed him back after you ran away! Or whatever you did! PoseidonAboutTyphonL02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0361): You were most brave to face gigantic Typhon as you did! And fortunate to have escaped, because I could have sworn he {#Emph}flattened {#Prev}you! We'll hold him off as long as possible, but if you're not too busy, we still need all hands on deck! PoseidonAboutTyphonL03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0362): Where are you {#Emph}going{#Prev}, little niece?! The opposite direction of terrifying Typhon, that's how it appears to {#Emph}me! {#Prev}Which, come to think, seems like a reasonable course! But we assuredly could use your aid up here! PoseidonAboutVengeance01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0029): How you must thirst for vengeance, Niece! I know the feeling only all too well! {#Emph}Vengeance! {#Prev}As cold and dark as the bottom of the sea! PoseidonAboutWater01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0062): Water's a fascinating substance, Niece! Cuts through the tallest mountains with sufficient time, and yet mortals need to drink the stuff to live! You're multitalented as well, aren't you? PoseidonAboutZagreus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0044): You would have liked your brother, little Niece! Just about everybody did! He showered me with praise just like a mortal would. A little awkward, yes, but {#Emph}quite endearing{#Prev}, too! PoseidonAboutZagreus02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0429): It's good to have your brother back, my niece! How he would scurry through your father's Underworld, like a rat fleeing a sinking ship! But now that ship is bound to be {#Emph}repaired! And {#Prev}it'll be a fine ship after all is said and done! PoseidonAboutZeus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0040): I see that my great brother Zeus already blessed you with his incomparable strength! Well, perhaps not {#Emph}incomparable. {#Prev}Here! Have some of {#Emph}mine{#Prev}, and you can weigh the benefits! PoseidonAboutZeusKeepsake01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0401): I couldn't help but notice how you seem to keep taking that Cloud Bangle with you from my brother Zeus! He is a very {#Emph}busy {#Prev}god, you understand, while I may aid you readily if you but use the Vivid Sea instead! PoseidonBlindBox01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0292): Hoy, for it is I {#Emph}again{#Prev}, good Niece! Although presumably you must have known, as likely all the unmarked packaging concealing this Boon was soaked all the way through! PoseidonBlindBox02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0293): {#Emph}Surprise! {#Prev}You are the fortunate recipient of my almighty Boon! Which means the legions of Chronos are in for an even {#Emph}bigger {#Prev}surprise... and not the {#Emph}good {#Prev}kind! PoseidonChat01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0003): My winsome niece, it is I! And I bring bounties to you from the seas themselves! PoseidonChat02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0004): The greatest acts of vengeance don't come easily, my niece! So take heart, and also {#Emph}this! PoseidonChat03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0005): That blasted Titan thinks he's got us, but we'll show him he's all wet, won't we, my niece? PoseidonChat04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0006): Remind that good-for-nothing Titan that Olympus is in charge, would you, my niece? PoseidonChat05 Poseidon (Poseidon_0007): Look, we could use all the help we can get. And we can't be choosy when there's none-too-many fish in the sea! PoseidonChat06 Poseidon (Poseidon_0008): I owe your father for his generosity. But since he's gone, I'll pay {#Emph}you {#Prev}back instead! PoseidonChat07 Poseidon (Poseidon_0009): Go show those Titans who's in charge, all right? If you catch my meaning, {#Emph}hahahaha! PoseidonChat08 Poseidon (Poseidon_0010): The seas aren't going anywhere, and neither are we, right, my niece? PoseidonChat09 Poseidon (Poseidon_0011): {#Emph}Hoh{#Prev}, my little niece, your greatest uncle's here! Here to make sure you really make a {#Emph}splash! PoseidonChat10 Poseidon (Poseidon_0045): A storm is brewing, Niece. Big one, this time, why, even bigger than the last! Prepare! PoseidonChat11 Poseidon (Poseidon_0046): Flow forth, my niece, and overwhelm all those who stand against us, would you there? PoseidonChat12 Poseidon (Poseidon_0047): My waves can slam into the land with massive force, especially when I give them a little push! PoseidonChat13 Poseidon (Poseidon_0048): We're in the middle of a war here, little Hades, so we'll chitchat later! Now, we fight! PoseidonChat14 Poseidon (Poseidon_0049): All right, Niece, I've little patience left to spare right now, but that's good news for you! PoseidonChat15 Poseidon (Poseidon_0050): You're here upon my surface, aren't you? Why, welcome back, and pardon all the mess! PoseidonChat16 Poseidon (Poseidon_0051): Come on, Niece, let's go batter down our enemies like ships within a storm! PoseidonChat17 Poseidon (Poseidon_0052): The tides are turning, can't you feel it, Niece? I can, of course, but surely you can, too! PoseidonChat18 Poseidon (Poseidon_0053): High tide has come again, my niece! Which is my little way of saying, {#Emph}here we go! PoseidonChat19 Poseidon (Poseidon_0054): No holding back this time, you hear me down there, Niece! Now let's get {#Emph}shaking! PoseidonChat20 Poseidon (Poseidon_0055): You have the power of the seas right at your beck and call! PoseidonChat21 Poseidon (Poseidon_0056): The untold bounties of the sea are yours! Well, one of them, at least! PoseidonChat22 Poseidon (Poseidon_0057): If only your father could see you now! Fortunately, I still sort of can! PoseidonChat23 Poseidon (Poseidon_0058): The strength of earth and sea is yours again, if you can handle it, my niece! PoseidonChat24 Poseidon (Poseidon_0059): I'll never stop fighting for you! Not until the fighting stops! Perhaps not even then! PoseidonChat25 Poseidon (Poseidon_0060): You remind me of crusty old Hades more and more! In a good way! PoseidonChat26 Poseidon (Poseidon_0061): One sudden surge of awesome might, coming right up! PoseidonChat27 Poseidon (Poseidon_0075): Arise, my niece! As would a fierce sea-creature of some sort! One blessed by {#Emph}me! PoseidonChat28 Poseidon (Poseidon_0076): Nothing beats doling out terrible consequences to our enemies, now, does it, Niece? PoseidonChat29 Poseidon (Poseidon_0077): Many great battles have been fought upon my seas, but they'll all pale in comparison to {#Emph}this! PoseidonChat30 Poseidon (Poseidon_0078): Come, Niece, let us crash upon our enemies as great waves upon a shore! PoseidonChat31 Poseidon (Poseidon_0079): Even the mortals know the sea is bountiful, yet also capable of deadly force! PoseidonChat32 Poseidon (Poseidon_0407): Don't let the pressure get to you as you dive down into those depths once more! PoseidonChat33 Poseidon (Poseidon_0408): Most of my land and sea is far more beauteous than {#Emph}that {#Prev}embattled stretch! PoseidonChat34 Poseidon (Poseidon_0409): I bid smooth sailing to you, Niece, and awful shipwrecks to our many foes! PoseidonChat35 Poseidon (Poseidon_0410): Much cleaning up to do both in your father's realm and mine, and I have {#Emph}just {#Prev}the thing! PoseidonChat36 Poseidon (Poseidon_0411): May you see {#Emph}this {#Prev}voyage to the destination you desire as with the night before! PoseidonChat37 Poseidon (Poseidon_0412): The seas themselves tremble on fearsome nights as this, but you take heart! PoseidonChat38 Poseidon (Poseidon_0413): Again you have embarked towards our shores, so here's a little wind in your sails! PoseidonChat39 Poseidon (Poseidon_0414): I daresay our enemies shall not be getting off the hook anytime soon! PoseidonChat40 Poseidon (Poseidon_0415): My heart swells with pride seeing you navigate troubled waters with such ease! PoseidonChat41 Poseidon (Poseidon_0416): I take no responsibility at all for those fishlike monstrosities you have to face down there! PoseidonChat42 Poseidon (Poseidon_0417): The waters may become a little rough but you have found your sea-legs, right, my niece? PoseidonChat43 Poseidon (Poseidon_0418): As you embark on your fateful voyage yet again, my niece, know that I am with you, in {#Emph}Boon form! PoseidonChat44 Poseidon (Poseidon_0419): You go sock that Typhon in the eye for me tonight would you? In {#Emph}all {#Prev}his foul eyes! PoseidonChat45 Poseidon (Poseidon_0420): We've navigated through rough waters many times! And it never seems to get any easier! PoseidonDevotionIntro01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0223): Ask {#Emph}any {#Prev}god upon Olympus whether we think you ought to join in our defense here, or take the fight to Chronos in your father's realm, and you'll get a {#Emph}range of views! {#Prev}A range of {#Emph}highly civil {#Prev}views, which we don't fight about {#Emph}at all! PoseidonFirstPickUp Melinoe (Melinoe_0634): You're one of my father's brothers, aren't you? Then, help him! {#Emph}In the name of Hades! Olympus, I accept this message! Poseidon (Poseidon_0212): My long-lost niece, {#Emph}you live! {#Prev}We thought you met the same fate as your father! And your mother, {#Emph}and {#Prev}your brother, {#Emph}augh! {#Prev}Well how about we turn the tide, and exact terrible revenge for poor old Hades and his kin?! PoseidonGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0505): I heard so much about you, Uncle, but you're not just very strong, you're generous as well. I am grateful, and would give you this. Poseidon (Poseidon_0066): Oh, little Niece, how {#Emph}thoughtful{#Prev}, but {#Emph}deeply {#Prev}unnecessary! Yet now {#Emph}I'm {#Prev}feeling generous, so here! This one's for you! PoseidonGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0504): Uncle Poseidon, it is an honor to have earned your blessing. Especially for all the battles still to come. Poseidon (Poseidon_0067): {#Emph}Hah{#Prev}, well I am left to wonder who it was that taught you such good manners, Niece? You're like a proper little lady, I'm impressed! PoseidonGift03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1764): A little something to soothe the senses, Uncle Poseidon! I know it's hardly the occasion now, but isn't there always some cause to celebrate? Poseidon (Poseidon_0068): You praise your uncle, and your uncle, why, he thinks it's really great! {#Emph}I {#Prev}think it's great, that is! That you would think of gifts in times like these! PoseidonGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1765): This one's for you, Uncle! May you shake all our foes from the land, and your seas swallow them, that they rue the day they rose against us! Poseidon (Poseidon_0069): Of all the many sacrifices I have been receiving as of late, and there have been a lot, yours have been the very best of all, my niece! PoseidonGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3724): Lord Poseidon! So many mortals know you as the Earth-Shaker, for the land and sea alike bend to your will. But I'm so deeply fortunate to know you as my uncle. I won't forget your kindness and spirit. Poseidon (Poseidon_0301): You needn't waste your Nectar on me, Niece! Not like I can drink it all the way from here. Perhaps that's just how it is with offerings! Mortals, they leave us strips of fresh-cooked meat, and things like that...! What was I on about? PoseidonGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3725): I heard the tales of my father's brothers long before we met, Uncle. And you're as mighty and courageous as they say! But I also feel as though you have been looking out for me. Thank you for making me feel welcome and safe. Poseidon (Poseidon_0302): Such a voyage we have had, haven't we, Niece? And you're not even in my same vicinity! Just how it is with relatives. They're with you even when they're not! Know that I'm with you, too, and always making certain that the coast is clear! At least after you find one of my Boons... PoseidonGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3826): Dear Uncle Poseidon, this offering of sweet Ambrosia is for you! My father must have been so fortunate to have grown up with such a big-hearted and caring brother. May all your seas and land soon know tranquility again! Poseidon (Poseidon_0402): However did you find such an extravagance amid our tempestuous times, Niece?! All I expected you to do is furiously fight but you have done much more! I move the earth itself; yet you move {#Emph}me. PoseidonLegacyBoonIntro01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0406): Perhaps some of the newfangled Boons we've offered haven't always swept you off your feet, but we {#Emph}do {#Prev}still have certain {#Emph}older {#Prev}blessings closer to ones your brother used to get! Why here's a few right now! PoseidonLegendaryPickUp01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0080): No point in holding back even a smidge when we're in such a serious predicament, is there? So here, some of my raw unbridled power ought to {#Emph}tide {#Prev}you over, I should think! PoseidonLegendaryPickUp02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0081): So many of our enemies once feared us gods, but turned their backs on us! I'd say a show of overwhelming force ought to remind them who's the captain of the ship, however, no? PoseidonLootBought01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0187): That old Underworld Boatman yet eludes the grasp of Chronos, does he? Turned to a life of the piratical smuggler in these dark times, {#Emph}augh! PoseidonLootBought02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0188): I fail to see why coin need change hands for a blessing from your uncle, though come to think, such blessings are most valuable indeed! PoseidonLootBought03 Poseidon (Poseidon_0189): Whatever Gold you paid ought to be at the bottom of the sea! Who does that Chronos think he is, showering mortals with shiny metals? PoseidonLootBought04 Poseidon (Poseidon_0190): I trust your Boatman there appreciates that the smooth sailing he's experienced in his mercantile routes is no coincidence at all? PoseidonLootBought05 Poseidon (Poseidon_0365): Now that's a trim ship, with the Underworld Boatman at the helm!

PoseidonRejection10 Poseidon (Poseidon_0280): So, my many different potent blessings just aren't good enough for you? Is that what you would like me to believe?! PoseidonRejection11 Poseidon (Poseidon_0281): Now, strictly speaking, Niece, you chose correctly in deferring to my brother Zeus. But I must still save face!

PoseidonRunStart01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0175): I had this feeling you were just about to set forth on another of your fateful escapades! Figured you could use a surge of strength!

PoseidonSurfaceRunCleared01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0358): Oh, thank you, Niece! For we've defeated Typhon with your aid!

PoseidonSurfaceRunCleared02 Poseidon (Poseidon_0359): What shall it take to put horrendous Typhon down for good?!

First, an Underworld victory, and next perhaps one {#Emph}here!

I thought at best you'd keep him busy for a while. You must be very strong, like {#Emph}me!

It sends a terrible impression, and may make her hold you in as much contempt as do I! But let's cooperate for now, why not? PoseidonWithHephaestus01 Poseidon (Poseidon_0271): My niece, we all must tirelessly work to counteract the harm Chronos has wrought! Some even more tirelessly than the rest!

Prometheus.OnHitVoiceLines Prometheus (Prometheus_0533): Merely a toad. Prometheus (Prometheus_0534): Wretched toad. Prometheus (Prometheus_0282): Back, cat! Prometheus (Prometheus_0283): Get off me! Prometheus (Prometheus_0280): Begone, bird! Prometheus (Prometheus_0281): What is this? Prometheus (Prometheus_0284): Blasted beast. Prometheus (Prometheus_0285): Back off! Prometheus (Prometheus_0535): Feral creature. Prometheus (Prometheus_0536): Well-trained... Prometheus (Prometheus_0538): Back off, beast. PrometheusAboutAltFight01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3551): Heracles! What are you doing, fraternizing with our foe? Heracles (Heracles_0212): {#Emph}Our {#Prev}foe? {#Emph}Heh. {#Prev}Well you were right again, Prometheus. So then what now? She finally caught us in the act. Prometheus (Prometheus_0300): We fight is what, big man; slow her at least. She shall not tell a soul that you were here. The damage it would cause her family would be catastrophic if she did. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3552): So then you're {#Emph}both {#Prev}traitors. And you expect me not to notify Lord Zeus and the others? Heracles, he's your {#Emph}father! {#Prev}Yet you would turn on him? Heracles (Heracles_0214): Don't we all? Besides, the Titan of Foresight here knew I would, and who am I to argue? Now allow me and my club to ensure you'll forget what you have seen. Heracles (Heracles_0214_B): The Titan of Foresight here knew I would, and who am I to argue? Now allow me and my club to ensure you'll forget what you have seen. PrometheusAboutAltFight01_B Melinoe (MelinoeField_3999): {#Emph}Heracles! {#Prev}What are you doing, fraternizing with {#Emph}him? {#Prev}You're supposed to be defending this mountain like before! Heracles (Heracles_0213): {#Emph}Fraternizing! Heh. {#Prev}Well you were right again, Prometheus. So then what now? She finally caught us in the act. Prometheus (Prometheus_0301): We fight is what, big man; slow her at least. She shall not tell a soul that you were here. Her family is in no position to absorb the truth of it, at least not now, or soon. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4000): I don't know, this sounds a little treasonous. Yet you expect me not to notify Lord Zeus and the others? Heracles, he's your {#Emph}father! {#Prev}Of all the gods, you'd even turn on {#Emph}him? Heracles (Heracles_0214): Don't we all? Besides, the Titan of Foresight here knew I would, and who am I to argue? Now allow me and my club to ensure you'll forget what you have seen. Heracles (Heracles_0214_B): The Titan of Foresight here knew I would, and who am I to argue? Now allow me and my club to ensure you'll forget what you have seen. PrometheusAboutAltFight02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0302): Agent of Change! I of course foresaw my own defeats. As to whether you can stop both Heracles {#Emph}and {#Prev}me, you'll find there are far fewer paths to that outcome. Heracles (Heracles_0215): Is it necessary that you tell this witch such things, Flame Thief? Leave her to figure it out the hard way. Prometheus (Prometheus_0303): I knew you'd say that, man. And you've the right of it of course; we are not here for conversation. {#Emph}Nor is she. PrometheusAboutAltFight03 Prometheus (Prometheus_0304): If there exists a downside to having the ferocious strength of Heracles at one's call, it must be overconfidence. How could we possibly not prevail, I theorized. Well... there were ways. Heracles (Heracles_0216): You ought have told me of these ways, Flame Thief. For I am unaccustomed to defeat. It's fortunate we have no onlookers, for all the smoke and ash... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3750): If you two would like to keep this lovely conversation going, I've no great impulse to break it up. But you're going to force me to fight, I suppose. Prometheus (Prometheus_0305): It's ultimately why we're here, so {#Emph}yes. {#Prev}Where you're going, Change follows. And Change does not come without conflict. PrometheusAboutAltFight04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3751): Heracles! What do you have to say for yourself in all this? Are {#Emph}you {#Prev}the one who broke Prometheus from his bonds? Heracles (Heracles_0217): You'll get no answers from me, sister; only a splitting headache. You're better off demanding truths from the Titan standing by my side, who speaks them willingly. Prometheus (Prometheus_0306): Truths are only truths if they're believed. And no matter what I tell our adversary, she shall not believe me; not entirely at least... the splitting headache is the better course for now. PrometheusAboutAltFight05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3752): No sign of your big friend. It seems you'll have to contend with me on your own, since I'm ignoring your {#Emph}bird. Prometheus (Prometheus_0307): My {#Emph}big friend{#Prev}, as you call him, answers to a higher power, and I know that you know what it is. You wish to face the two of us again... you know precisely how. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3928): And why would I possibly wish to go through {#Emph}that {#Prev}again? You're enough on your own, without also having to evade a club twice my size. Prometheus (Prometheus_0308): You're eager to please! To do that which you're called upon to do. That's why you're here. And that's why Heracles shall be here again not very long from now. PrometheusAboutAltFight05_2 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3929): Aetos has you to himself again! They say that Heracles once slew an entire flock of voracious birds... must make yours a bit uneasy. Prometheus (Prometheus_0311): Your insincere concern is meaningless to me. You gods have a shared purpose, merely to reassert your dominance. We share a purpose, too! But one completely different from your own. PrometheusAboutAltFight06 Prometheus (Prometheus_0309): You see, big man? She didn't keep you waiting long at all. Though I know how much you detest having your labors dictated by goddesses or gods. Heracles (Heracles_0218): I grow accustomed to it more and more. Relieves me of having to make hard choices; I need but make the easy ones, such as which bones to shatter first. Prometheus (Prometheus_0310): And I look forward to seeing what you decide; though I already know, of course... PrometheusAboutAltFight07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3753): We have some matters to discuss, Prometheus! So why not ask your big friend there to step aside? It would be rather rude of him to eavesdrop on our private conversations. Prometheus (Prometheus_0312): You shall not believe this for some time, Agent of Change, but Heracles {#Emph}can {#Prev}be trusted... certainly not in your present case, but still. Heracles (Heracles_0219): I care next to naught for what you say, sister. You wish for me to step aside, make me. Either here and now, or by whichever means you got me to show up. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3754): Well since the both of you are here, I just want you to know: Neither one of you is as strong as you look. Prometheus (Prometheus_0313): You underestimate our combined strength, though not for much longer. Let's show her, Heracles! PrometheusAboutAltFight08 Prometheus (Prometheus_0316): If I may, Heracles? It is not necessary to converse with her like this. We could simply attack without warning. Heracles (Heracles_0232): I'm only making conversation here because of {#Emph}you. {#Prev}No need to persuade me about the benefits of attack without warning. Prometheus (Prometheus_0317): Then it's settled! We agree to keep her guessing. Even though we're going to fall back on old habits, with me doing most of the talking henceforth. PrometheusAboutAltFight09 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3755): {#Emph}You{#Prev}, Heracles! When we meet elsewhere it's as though nothing's changed, and still you face me here? I knew you for a great warrior, but you're just a great actor! Heracles (Heracles_0220): We're all actors throughout our wretched lives, sister. And don't you dare address me here again; this is the Flame Thief's fight. I'm merely the supporting actor here. Prometheus (Prometheus_0314): And is this not a fitting stage on which we're to perform before the gods? Including whichever dark gods you yourself invoked, forcing obedient Heracles to answer their call. Let's give them what they desire! PrometheusAboutAltFightHeracles01 Heracles (Heracles_0221): Why don't I take point for a while here, Flame Thief? There are such times as you are liable to talk too much. Prometheus (Prometheus_0315): I'd say I thought you'd never ask, big man, but we both know the truth. I don't foresee the two of you speaking for long. PrometheusAboutAltFightHeracles02 Heracles (Heracles_0222): Been so long since I last lost a fight, that I'd forgotten how it felt. The shame... the anger... the blood boiling in my veins. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3756): And it probably doesn't make you feel any better knowing Prometheus there was certain you were going to lose. Heracles (Heracles_0223): No. But something else also occurred: I found myself longing to fight again. To tear my enemies to pieces. I still can suppress the worst part, but I thought all of it was gone... PrometheusAboutAltFightHeracles03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3757): When first we met, you said you work alone, Heracles sir. Yet here you are cooperating with this Titan, and I'd say even that Eagle too. Another one of your lies, then? Heracles (Heracles_0224): Who says I'm working, sister? For all you know, this is what I do for sake of recreation. My work and interests coincide. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3758): You expect me to believe you're here because you want to be, and not because the will of Night demanded it? I know you haven't shown up by coincidence alone. Heracles (Heracles_0225): {#Emph}Believe {#Prev}whatever you like. Now, {#Emph}I {#Prev}believe it's time to drive this club into your skull; not for business, but for {#Emph}pleasure. PrometheusAboutAltFightHeracles04 Heracles (Heracles_0226): It's dark out there, sister. Yet you always seem to find your way, stalking around like a {#Emph}cat. {#Prev}Know what I do to cats? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3759): Apparently you turn them into fashionable pelts! Well you're not doing that to {#Emph}me. {#Prev}How would it even work? I'm too small. Heracles (Heracles_0227): You're too {#Emph}clever. {#Prev}How about you keep talking, while I let my club do the rest of the talking for {#Emph}me. PrometheusAboutAltFightHeracles05 Heracles (Heracles_0228): Whatever it is you do to get me to show up, tonight you must have done a lot of it, sister. It's crawling out there... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3760): Is that a touch of fear in the voice of mighty Heracles? Though I ought to be the one afraid, having to confront you and Prometheus like this. He knows it's going to get {#Emph}ugly. Heracles (Heracles_0229): When does it ever not? But this is nothing. You wish to know true fear, go train under the Centaur Chiron for a while... PrometheusAboutAltFightHeracles06 Heracles (Heracles_0230): I never used to lose. Felt like the Flame Thief here probably does, knowing the outcome of every battle. Not anymore... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3761): Surely the added bit of unexpectedness helps keep things livelier and more entertaining for you now. Heracles (Heracles_0231): No. I never used to lose, but I never liked surprises, either. So, all in all, things lately haven't gone too well for my career... PrometheusAboutAthena01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0294): Of all your kin on this accursed mountain, Lady Athena is the worthiest opponent. My master's legions must be keeping her quite busy, that she'd lend some of her strength to you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3780): You call her an opponent but have been avoiding any direct confrontations, throwing your disposable forces against her. You know you'd lose to her in a fair fight. Prometheus (Prometheus_0295): I would. I lack her martial training, her divinity. But despite her vaunted wisdom, she, like all your kin, possesses what to mortals would be called a {#Emph}fatal flaw. {#Prev}And I know that you know what it is. PrometheusAboutBrothers01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0135): You have a brother you never even knew. I had a prideful one, a scatter-minded one, and a pathetic one bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders. Which do you suppose {#Emph}yours {#Prev}is most like? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2885): No wonder you hate my family; you hate yours. Shall we proceed to try and kill each other now? I don't have all night. Prometheus (Prometheus_0136): My brothers and I also used to quarrel frequently. I thought I had outgrown it; become more civilized. But clearly no. PrometheusAboutChaos01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0141): I know the tinge of gods, but you have something else. Something older... the mark of Chaos. The eldest, most indifferent force in existence, goaded into action! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2889): Not even Chaos wishes to see Chronos prevail. What does that tell you about your {#Emph}own {#Prev}decision to take sides? Prometheus (Prometheus_0142): It tells me that all beings are fallible, beginning with Chaos. We are {#Emph}all {#Prev}vulgar accidents, do you see? Yet still we strive toward perfection, which remains ever out of reach. PrometheusAboutChronos01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2731): Perhaps your so-called master Chronos wants for you to fail... to suffer more than you already have. He seeks vengeance on the gods for overthrowing him before. When you were their ally! Prometheus (Prometheus_0047): I don't seek my master's forgiveness, nor assume his loyalty. Alliances are born of shared goals, perhaps ideals; whereas the gods and I are at cross purposes. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2732): Because they punished you for crimes you knowingly committed? What else could they have done after you deceived them, and took from them? Prometheus (Prometheus_0048): I took {#Emph}nothing! {#Prev}Fire spreads; burns anything that stands in its path. The gods sought to imprison it, but I set it loose. Now at last, we each are free. And burning still. PrometheusAboutCirce01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0292): You work with enchantresses to try and gain the upper hand... but such distractions shall be of no avail against me. It is not the size of the opponent that's of consequence. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2892): To have recognized Madame Circe's craft, only to underestimate its potency. Your foresight evidently has its limits, Titan. Prometheus (Prometheus_0293): That it does. But your incantations have {#Emph}their {#Prev}limitations, in kind. You would be wise not to depend on them too much. PrometheusAboutDionysus01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2893): The gods, one of them anyway, extend an offering of peace, Prometheus! Lord Dionysus would have you as a guest of honor at his latest celebration, if you'll indulge him. Given your gift of foresight, you must know I'm entirely sincere. Prometheus (Prometheus_0132): My foresight only works if there is any possibility of an outcome taking place. Whatever deception you have in mind, you shall have to try harder than {#Emph}that. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2894): You and your master are different; can you not accept that the gods aren't all aligned in their thinking, either? Dionysus wants no part in your feud! Prometheus (Prometheus_0133): Dionysus wants merely to drown his few remaining complicated thoughts, and seek more pleasures of the flesh. More beast than god, lacking all self-control. PrometheusAboutDionysus02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2895): Lord Dionysus was quite disappointed that you'd not accept the invitation to his feast! Is there truly not some future possibility in which you change your mind? Prometheus (Prometheus_0134): {#Emph}None! {#Prev}I've had my liver shorn apart for aeons by good Aetos here; I'll not permit the god of wine to further damage it! PrometheusAboutDora01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2886): Tell me, Titan: Do you recall a mortal woman by the name of Dora? Her Shade responded strangely when I mentioned you, but can't seem to remember what you did. Prometheus (Prometheus_0137): Best leave it be, Agent of Change. That old Shade's latent memories have more to do with gods and their deceptions than with anything I did. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2887): Elaborate! Tell me what happened to her. You keep blaming everything on the gods, as though all this is solely their responsibility. Prometheus (Prometheus_0138): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, on the contrary, I take responsibility for mortalkind. But for all their failings, vices, and downfalls, I am not to blame. Nor is this {#Emph}Dora. {#Prev}You tell her I said that. PrometheusAboutDora02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0139): Your companion, Dora... she does not remember me, not yet. But she shall! And in so doing, remember why she chose to forget me to begin with... and forget so much more. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2888): You say she's not to blame for the failings of mortalkind, as though she could have carried such a burden to begin with. What happened? How do you know her? Prometheus (Prometheus_0140): That one is haunted by her past, as you can see. But, it is not my place to tell you any more than I already have, lest she recall too much, too quickly. {#Emph}All in due time{#Prev}, as my master would say. PrometheusAboutDora03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3951): You {#Emph}do {#Prev}know Dora, don't you? She and some brother of yours... they were {#Emph}wed? {#Prev}And somehow this resulted in her letting loose all sorts of daemons in the mortal world? Prometheus (Prometheus_0318): That is one telling of it, more or less... so she remembers, finally? Perhaps with great regret. After all this time, mortals still cannot decide whether to blame themselves or gods for their plight... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3952): Oh they should blame only {#Emph}gods? {#Prev}Take no responsibility for their own wretched state? Not even Dora would do that, and she's one of the most complacent beings I know. In an impressive way! Prometheus (Prometheus_0319): Your companion Dora remembers some of the events, but this does not mean she {#Emph}understands {#Prev}any of them. Her actions pitted mortalkind against itself forever! PrometheusAboutDora04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3953): What became of Dora's husband? Your brother, by her recollection. He abandoned her after what happened? Prometheus (Prometheus_0320): It's more correct to say that your companion Dora finally saw my scatter-minded brother for who he was. Their marriage lasted for about as long as many do. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3954): All while you stood idly by and did nothing; but now feel bad and thus decided to shoulder this righteous cause? Perhaps to feel a bit of absolution that you never got from her. Prometheus (Prometheus_0321): Your words are harsh but for the most part accurate. Dora remembers now what your own family did to her. If she can forgive you all for that... then she's a stronger soul than I. PrometheusAboutDora05 Prometheus (Prometheus_0322): Look at us, Agent of Change! The daemons your companion Dora inadvertently set free... {#Emph}every ill {#Prev}that could befall mortalkind... most all of them yet plague the gods as well. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3955): Existence has its hardships. I'm very familiar with many of these daemons, and they are nuisances; but their power has its limits, and they can be driven back. Prometheus (Prometheus_0323): Perhaps... but mortals tend to have a harder time of it than you. Don't you see? So long as they suffer, so shall we all. PrometheusAboutEpilogue01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0356): It's done...! It's finally done, except... I need to hear you say it first. To know for certain what I have foreseen. Now, please... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3965): You may have to be a little more specific, but... I take it you mean that I found the Fates? Or they found me, but either way. I thought you didn't care for them too much. Prometheus (Prometheus_0357): I care for what they say... what they decide to make of this world of ours. What has their exile driven them to do? They would not make the same mistakes again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3966): They've had it with our squabbling; that I can understand. So they have deemed the coming of another age in which the gods apparently shall hold less sway. A time of fewer burdens on us, so our tempers can subside. Prometheus (Prometheus_0358): ...The coming of a golden age... perhaps not quite the one my master had envisioned, but nevertheless. All this toil, at long last... and till then... I suppose we fight. PrometheusAboutEpilogue02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3967): So you truly saw all this coming? The Three Fates and their prophecy of a new age. Why have you fought so hard to stop me, then? What if you had prevailed? Prometheus (Prometheus_0360): I knew my efforts to prevent you all would be for naught; but I was compelled to make those efforts anyhow. To put it simply, I could see no other way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3968): We might have fought on the same side. Surely that would have sooner led to your result than sending Aetos after me. Prometheus (Prometheus_0361): A reasonable theory but it never would have gone the way you expect. This was never about mortalkind for you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3969): ...You're right, it wasn't. I had my own problems to contend with before attempting to rid mortalkind of theirs. Prometheus (Prometheus_0362): Yet now you have done both. Fear not; the dead may worship you, but the living couldn't care less. Though still we did what needed to be done. PrometheusAboutEpilogue03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3970): What of your companion Heracles? I suppose he's been in on your scheme this entire time as well. Appearing to defy the gods while serving them anyway. Prometheus (Prometheus_0363): You'll have no more success getting such answers out of me than out of him. You've seen the man; he has his reasons. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3971): Hence your affiliation? You must have bonded over your disdain for this mountain and all it stands for. Was he the one who liberated you? Prometheus (Prometheus_0364): {#Emph}No answers out of me{#Prev}, I said. Not when it comes to {#Emph}him. {#Prev}But at least you now know there are offshoots of your family made of stronger stuff. PrometheusAboutEpilogue04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3973): Seeing as you know all about the coming age... any interesting details you can share about what's in store? Prometheus (Prometheus_0366): The world shall be a very different place, in ways you cannot possibly conceive. In other ways, nothing shall change at all; even regress. We shall all be forgotten, then remembered, and forgotten. Again, and again, and again... PrometheusAboutFates01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0051): The future is a series of fixed points. Not even my master believes this to be true, but I have seen the many possibilities. The only question is... which is our destination? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2734): You fill my mind with this nonsense. Not even the Three Fates know entirely what the future holds, for they are always weaving. Prometheus (Prometheus_0052): They {#Emph}were {#Prev}always weaving, yes. I know that you know that they weave no longer now. Yet moment by moment, the future still unfolds. Let us give shape to it ourselves! PrometheusAboutFates02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0354): Where do you suppose they are, Agent of Change? The Fates, I mean. They, who set the Titans and the gods against each other to begin with, long ago. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3964): Wherever they are, pray they can't hear you speaking ill of them. Though why ask me? You're the one who knows everything, including whether they'll ever be located or not. Prometheus (Prometheus_0355): That I do. I but spur you to consider the possibility, and your place in their scheme; and, I suppose, in mine. PrometheusAboutFire01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0126): You, who condemn me as a criminal: Would you know {#Emph}why {#Prev}I liberated fire from this mountain, for the sake of mortalkind? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2882): My own increasingly strong sense of foresight indicates you're going to tell me no matter what. Prometheus (Prometheus_0127): When I gave mortals nourishment... the meat they would have sacrificed to you... they needed fire then, and more. But {#Emph}you hoarded all of it! {#Prev}So I saved them; and I'll do it again. PrometheusAboutForesight01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2728): Why bother talking to me all these nights, Titan? If you know everything I'm going to say. How tedious your life must be. Prometheus (Prometheus_0043): It used to be much worse! But to your point, I would not wish the curse of foresight unto anyone... except perhaps the worst of all my enemies. And you are not yet one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2729): Oh? I'll have to work harder to earn that distinction, then. And when I set my mind to something, I typically succeed. Prometheus (Prometheus_0044): I am aware. But I also know that pride, one of the defining traits of your kind, tends to precede a fall. You shall see where all your certainty gets you. PrometheusAboutForesight02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0045): You have questions for me about a great many things... I shall not answer them, not yet. The words must first escape your lips, for one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2730): How about I save my breath instead? You won't know what I'm going to say if I never say it. Prometheus (Prometheus_0046): Yet your heart if not your eyes and ears suggest to you that I am not the liar that your mind believes me to be. We stand in opposition nonetheless. PrometheusAboutForesight03 Prometheus (Prometheus_0120): The question you're about to ask is mocking nonsense to supplant the more important subject troubling you now. Go on! I cannot respond if you hold back. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2738): No. You have no control over me or my future. And don't worry, I'm {#Emph}not {#Prev}going to hold back. Prometheus (Prometheus_0121): I knew you would react this way, but knew no other way to broach the subject. How often I create the outcomes I'm attempting to prevent... PrometheusAboutForesight04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2739): Answer me this one question, Titan. If you know everything the future holds, why make the choices leading to the awful punishment that you endured? Why let yourself get caught? Prometheus (Prometheus_0122): Our choices can reverberate through time, creating outcomes of far greater consequence. If not for my imprisonment, I wouldn't be here now; where I must be. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2740): You suffered as you did just so I could beat you up some more tonight? You're a fraud... making unprovable claims to sound righteous and wise. Prometheus (Prometheus_0123): You, of all gods, ought to understand something of sacrifice... but for now, at least, it matters not. I've nothing to prove to you, no secrets I'm willing to share; only my rage. PrometheusAboutForesight05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2880): Either you're a liar when it comes to your supposed foresight, or you're letting me win. Who doesn't want a good thrashing from some witch every so often? Prometheus (Prometheus_0124): The difference between you and me is that you merely can suspect and theorize, whilst I know for certain. Yet there are truths that I cannot impart. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2881): That's quite all right, I didn't think you would. I can change the future with my actions whether I know what the future holds or not. Prometheus (Prometheus_0125): Take it from me, Agent of Change: The more you know of the future, the less likely you are to shape it as you desire. PrometheusAboutFuture01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0041): I know what you're about to say, Agent of Change, and caution you: {#Emph}Don't say it. {#Prev}Should you verbalize your thoughts, the outcome shall be of no benefit to either of us. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2727): Fine... just in case. But you'll forgive me if I'm a little skeptical that we changed the course of history like this. Prometheus (Prometheus_0042): You still don't understand. We are as clay, the lot of us. Able to be moulded and re-moulded. One disastrous consequence we avoided; but there's no preventing the next. PrometheusAboutGoldenAge01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0114): Resist all you like, yet the age of gods shall end! {#Emph}Time {#Prev}shall see to it. And thereafter, a Golden Age of enlightenment shall begin, in which you gods hold far less sway. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2735): If I somehow gave you the impression that I'm interested in your doomsaying and false prophecies, I assure you, I'm not. Prometheus (Prometheus_0115): Your disregard is the very reason you're no longer fit to rule. I know you'll never relinquish this mountain; fall with it, then! PrometheusAboutHeraclesKeepsake01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0336): You bear an artifact belonging to one whom I know, I sense it there. How did you get it...? {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, no need to say; doubtless the gifting custom of Olympus, nothing more. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3980): {#Emph}Gifting custom? {#Prev}You mean this Lion Fang from Heracles. What, were you counting on the son of Zeus giving his hard-fought trophy to one such as you instead? Prometheus (Prometheus_0337): You can be every bit as stubborn and brutish as the beast from which that tooth was torn. Yet you are unworthy of it all the same. PrometheusAboutHeraclesKeepsake01_B Prometheus (Prometheus_0336): You bear an artifact belonging to one whom I know, I sense it there. How did you get it...? {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, no need to say; doubtless the gifting custom of Olympus, nothing more. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3981): You mean this Lion Fang from your friend Heracles. What, were you counting on the son of Zeus giving his hard-fought trophy to {#Emph}you {#Prev}instead? Prometheus (Prometheus_0337): You can be every bit as stubborn and brutish as the beast from which that tooth was torn. Yet you are unworthy of it all the same. PrometheusAboutMortals01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0037): You gods coerced all mortalkind into worshiping you, and for what? You've nothing to gain by slaughtering them at your whim. Leave them be! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2724): I'll be sure to put in the request with my Lord Uncle Zeus, if you could go ahead and let me past so I can pay him a visit. Prometheus (Prometheus_0038): Your Lord Uncle had me bound to a mountain for aeons, so that Aetos here could feast upon my flesh for all that time. Aetos came around eventually, but Zeus...? He never shall. PrometheusAboutMortals02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2725): Why do you care so much for mortals, anyhow? Their lives are short, their flesh is weak. Only in death do many of them finally begin to gain some sense. Prometheus (Prometheus_0039): Any laborer of skill cares for their work. Mortals! Poor sods created in the image of the gods, yet forced to be inferior, so that they could never achieve what my master and I now intend. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2726): You mean to say that {#Emph}you {#Prev}fashioned mortalkind? Then stole the fire from this mountain for {#Emph}their {#Prev}sake? Absurd. Prometheus (Prometheus_0040): The truth can be difficult to absorb. Mortals live only to suffer; as I'm responsible for that, I sought to take some of their suffering from them. And redistribute it to all of you. PrometheusAboutMortals03 Prometheus (Prometheus_0118): Gods could learn something from mortals, you know. For all their many failings, they have an admirable tendency to cling to hope; a certain quality we deathless often lack. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2737): Hope can be the salve for the naive. So many mortals hope they'll never die; a feeling born of delusion and fear. Prometheus (Prometheus_0119): Yes! Mortals live short, painful lives. And even still they strive for something greater than they mostly can achieve. I fight for {#Emph}them! {#Prev}You gods fight only for {#Emph}yourselves. PrometheusAboutPlans01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0035): My master's plan of course requires time. The objective here is not to stop you permanently, but to slow you down. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2723): Unless you just can't help revealing vital information to your enemies, I'm going to assume you're spouting this drivel to mislead me. Either way, my own objective remains the same. Prometheus (Prometheus_0036): Yes, bullheadedness is one of your family's defining traits. Then let us execute our respective plans; there is a possibility that mine shall succeed here beyond measure. PrometheusAboutPostTyphon01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0348): When my master lets you cross a boundary beyond this realm to face the monster Typhon as before, the outcome of {#Emph}that{#Prev}, I cannot foresee... how did the last one go? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3960): Perhaps I'll leave it to your imagination. It must be novel for you not to know the outcome of such incidents. Prometheus (Prometheus_0349): Oh that it is. Well then don't tell me, if you like; I'm {#Emph}far {#Prev}more interested in the end result than in the many steps we shall be taking on the way. PrometheusAboutPostTyphon02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0352): My master indicates that your accomplishments are mounting night by night. He awaits beyond, should you prevail again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3963): First you, then Typhon, same as ever. Though I'm delighted to know I'm living up to Grandfather's expectations. Could always use more family members to appease. Prometheus (Prometheus_0353): I do not envy you in that. Nevertheless, so long as our paths are intertwined, I shall be here; no need to let me know ahead of time. PrometheusAboutRandomBounty01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0334): What has the whim of Chaos wrought, that our existence led us to this point, in opposition to each other endlessly? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3979): You're welcome to surrender at any point, Titan. I'm certain that Chaos would find it terribly amusing if you did. Prometheus (Prometheus_0335): As would you, I suppose. But no such outcome ever shall occur, of that you can be certain. Perhaps, however, we may yet provide to Chaos some amusement anyway. PrometheusAboutRavenFamiliar01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0338): You have an avian companion of your own. A scraggly and pallid raven, mediocre wingspan, lacking the raw instinct to hunt and kill like Aetos here. But still, a loyal bird. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3982): And not once has Raki tried to rip my liver out of me. There are much more effective ways to forge bonds with animals, but you must know that now. Prometheus (Prometheus_0339): I was in no position to negotiate with Aetos when first we met. But now he listens to me, typically... although when he identifies his prey, he can become {#Emph}quite {#Prev}fixated by it. PrometheusAboutSayingLittle01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0326): It seems we may be locked here in this struggle for some time; that is the consequence, of course, for what you did. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3984): I got my family back. If it means having to get chastised every now and then by {#Emph}you{#Prev}, that's perfectly all right. Prometheus (Prometheus_0327): I did not mean it thus. In fact, knowing these meetings may be quite habitual, perhaps it's best we keep our conversations curt. I ought not say too much from here. PrometheusAboutShrine01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0332): This suffocating smoke on a night so black... it fills me with an older strength I thought I'd lost. A good reminder I yet live...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3978): I'm pleased to hear about this positive new turn in your existence, Titan. A fearsome night can certainly instill heightened awareness, and a will to survive. Prometheus (Prometheus_0333): You speak as though you are the cause yourself; impossible. Or quite unlikely I should say, but then again... {#Emph}augh{#Prev}, you dark gods. Come, let us see whether this is your night or mine! PrometheusAboutShrineBounty01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0328): You've come specifically for me tonight, haven't you? Some barbarous assignment, perhaps, from dark gods far older and greater. Well here I am. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3975): And how could you possibly know? I've said nothing of the sort, Titan. Nor shall I. Prometheus (Prometheus_0329): Not this eve you won't, but later. It shall slip your mind that we had this discussion earlier and you shall tell me more. For now, come fight me for the glory of your kind. PrometheusAboutShrineBounty02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3976): You're not my objective, Titan. So what do we say we make this quick? Lest you impede the will of Night. Prometheus (Prometheus_0330): The will of Night, is it... demanding Typhon's sacrifice. Is that what you're after, scaling this mountain again and again? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3977): Not necessarily just Typhon's sacrifice. All enemies of the Underworld shall have their punishment. Even {#Emph}you{#Prev}, if you dare keep this up. Prometheus (Prometheus_0331): I am no stranger to the punishment of gods. It did not deter me then, nor shall it now, or evermore! PrometheusAboutTorch01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0145): {#Emph}Ah... {#Prev}so it's to be my borrowed flames against your own this night. This could be rather entertaining if I didn't know already how it's going to play out... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2891): I'm not here for your amusement, Titan. Your stolen flame hasn't made you immune. Prometheus (Prometheus_0146): Certainly not. And, I anticipate that Ygnium, for I know the weapons that you bear, shall rather sting. But I've felt worse. PrometheusAboutTyphon01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0147): I'm but a Titan, and unarmed. Should you get past me, however... I know that you know you're certainly no match for what awaits. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2969): Perhaps you simply know less than you think. And now you're going to call me arrogant or something, I suppose? Prometheus (Prometheus_0148): I would have, yes; but since you've foreseen that outcome, it shall not come to pass. Well if you truly think you can withstand that monstrosity... let's see you withstand {#Emph}me. PrometheusAboutTyphon02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0149): The monster Typhon isn't liable to stop, you know. He has your family on the back foot, cowering in your Lord Uncle's palace. Exactly where we want them. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2970): A suitable distraction I can take advantage of... just as soon as you're out of the way, along with your bird. Prometheus (Prometheus_0150): You're telling me your plans! Now we're truly getting to know each other. I almost regret what's about to transpire. PrometheusAboutTyphon03 Prometheus (Prometheus_0296): Do you hear that? Typhon climbs the dark side of the mountain even now. Impressive that you cast him down before... but he shall not rest till the Palace of Zeus lies in ruin. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3781): He'll be destroyed. You along with him if that's what it takes. If he were truly unstoppable, you wouldn't be impeding my ascent. You're buying him time. Prometheus (Prometheus_0297): I am. It's strange to think that time can be a limited commodity, even for deathless such as we. But no more stalling for now. PrometheusAboutTyphonL01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0298): It may have taken all your godly relatives, but they were able to resist the monster Typhon's wrath, despite the blunders that you made. Yet now you hurry back. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3782): I realize this must be complicated for you, as someone whose loyalties are mostly to an Eagle, but I am not about to let that thing destroy everything my family built. Prometheus (Prometheus_0299): You ought to choose your loyalties with greater care, not let them be decided by birthright. Well then, {#Emph}come on! {#Prev}You have a summit and a family to protect. PrometheusAboutUltimateProgress01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0342): Something has changed in you since when last you were here. I know what it is... and what shall happen when you finally make use of it, perhaps even tonight. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3956): You must mean {#Emph}Disintegration of Monstrosity{#Prev}. Yes, I have something for Typhon here. You're fortunate I don't first put it to the test on {#Emph}you. Prometheus (Prometheus_0343): Stay your threats! I know you shall not use this power against me; if gods and Titans could kill one another as mortals do, our history would have been {#Emph}much, much shorter. PrometheusAboutUltimateProgress02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0340): My master does not realize what shall become of him once all is said and done; do you? How abhorrent, to try and steal away one's immortality. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3983): I've truly heard it all. A {#Emph}thief{#Prev}, lecturing me about {#Emph}stealing! {#Prev}Chronos took my family, and more... he should realize what shall become of him. Prometheus (Prometheus_0341): Your father's father... you share some of his ancient lineage, and his obsession with the inevitable. Come get what you desire, then! But one outcome awaits as you continue down this path. PrometheusAboutUnderworld01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0324): You have been busying yourself elsewhere... down in that Underworld of yours, no doubt. Unless you've started having greater difficulty getting to this point? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3974): You're the Titan of Foresight, why don't you tell me? It's a chance to prove this gift of yours is more than a tall claim. Prometheus (Prometheus_0325): I knew you were going to say that; so that I could now take {#Emph}this {#Prev}as an opportunity to clarify that {#Emph}foresight is not mind-reading. PrometheusAboutWorship01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3972): It seems the mortals whom you love so much don't all reciprocate, Prometheus. For all you claim to have done, they still don't worship you. Prometheus (Prometheus_0365): Nor shall they ever, I know. Perhaps make cautionary tales I've inspired but that's it. Fortunately, I don't require affirmation; they can save their Nectar and Ambrosia for {#Emph}you. PrometheusAboutZeus01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0116): {#Emph}Great Zeus {#Prev}did not have me bound and tortured merely for the supposed crime of taking fire from this mountain. No; he wanted certain information... about his eventual downfall. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2736): So you threatened the King of the Olympians with false prophecies and he took it out on you. Perhaps not one of my Lord Uncle's proudest moments, and yet understandable. What did you tell him? Prometheus (Prometheus_0117): I told him {#Emph}nothing! {#Prev}Merely that his time shall come. A specific outcome that grows more likely with each passing night. {#Emph}You {#Prev}are but a wrinkle in the plan, nothing more. PrometheusBossMiscDefeat01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0025): ...I've done my part here, just as you did yours... for this was bound to happen as it did. PrometheusBossMiscDefeat02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0026): ...Curse these old wounds of mine... I once was stronger than this...! PrometheusBossMiscDefeat03 Prometheus (Prometheus_0027): ...I knew that this would be a struggle... but hold always to the chance I may be wrong... PrometheusBossMiscDefeat04 Prometheus (Prometheus_0028): ...I am beaten. But you cannot afford to give chase, and my strength shall return. PrometheusBossMiscDefeat05 Prometheus (Prometheus_0029): ...The famous wrath of Olympus... it cannot easily be stopped, you see? PrometheusBossMiscDefeat06 Prometheus (Prometheus_0030): ...Aetos and I have done what needed to be done. Now you go do the same. PrometheusBossMiscDefeat07 Prometheus (Prometheus_0151): ...If suffering today brings about a better tomorrow, so be it. PrometheusBossMiscDefeat08 Prometheus (Prometheus_0152): ...I foresaw your trickery yet still could not prevent it, no matter what I tried. PrometheusBossMiscDefeat09 Prometheus (Prometheus_0153): ...{#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}Compared to what I have withstood before, this was nothing at all. PrometheusBossMiscDefeat10 Prometheus (Prometheus_0154): ...If you could see what I've foreseen, you'd not believe it anyhow. PrometheusBossMiscDefeat11 Prometheus (Prometheus_0451): ...You gods never forgive; why then should I, when I could fight instead? PrometheusBossMiscDefeat12 Prometheus (Prometheus_0452_B): ...The strength to best both Heracles and me... I can foresee no way to stop it now. PrometheusBossMiscDefeat13 Prometheus (Prometheus_0453): ...I have foreseen defeats of mine before... every last one of them, in point of fact... PrometheusBossMiscDefeat14 Prometheus (Prometheus_0456): ...You have defeated me again... but all my wounds shall heal. They always do... PrometheusBossMiscDefeat15 Prometheus (Prometheus_0457): ...My strength has failed me repeatedly... but it always comes back... PrometheusBossMiscDefeat16 Prometheus (Prometheus_0458): ...The flames that you withstood... perhaps they were never meant for you... PrometheusBossMiscDefeat17 Prometheus (Prometheus_0459_B): ...My foreknowledge of this moment... it's as though... we've done this all before... PrometheusBossMiscDefeat18 Prometheus (Prometheus_0450): ...Now do you begin to understand... what I have done at every turn...? PrometheusBossMiscDefeat19 Prometheus (Prometheus_0454): ...I knew I could not stop you... on the contrary, you... needed to prevail... PrometheusBossMiscDefeat20 Prometheus (Prometheus_0455): ...Were it not for this fight... you'd never find a single remnant of Typhon... PrometheusBossOutro01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0005): {#Emph}Urgh... {#Prev}I knew this would happen. Yet I could not prevent it, do you see? I could only... do my part... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2383): Silence. Save your troubles for your master Chronos. Prometheus (Prometheus_0006): It's not my troubles that I mean to save... Agent of Change... PrometheusFirstMeeting Prometheus (Prometheus_0002): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, here comes the unexpected wrinkle in my master's plan! I know who you are, lost daughter of Hades, and I know that you know who I am. I had a premonition of this very moment. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2381): Lord Prometheus, I presume. You must have premonitions all the time. I'd not heard you were liberated, or that Chronos is the master you serve. Solidarity between Titans, then? Prometheus (Prometheus_0003): Call it a change of heart. I was a coward and a fool, you see; to have sided once with gods against my kind. But no more. This is my attempt at atonement. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2382): What, by leading this reckless assault? I never took you for a coward, but you remain a fool. Prometheus (Prometheus_0004): Perhaps you're right; but I shall be a victorious fool, at least. For I have seen you stand no chance at all. PrometheusLostAgainstHim01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0009): I know you think that you can get past me, if you but continue to try, and to try, and to try. The truth is you shall! Perhaps not this night, but inevitably nonetheless. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2385): At least you saved me some suspense. If I knew every outcome as does the infamous Titan of Foresight, perhaps I too would become a disaffected, traitorous wretch. Prometheus (Prometheus_0010): What would you know of my plight?! You, who flail against Time itself? So much courage born of pride. Come then, Agent of Change, and show me what I know you can do! PrometheusLostAgainstHim02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0033): Aetos has excellent vision, of course. Saw you since you first set foot at the base of the mountain. Slowed you down, perhaps, but still... I knew you'd be here now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2722): Truly? And what shall be the outcome of our confrontation {#Emph}this {#Prev}time, since you know everything? Same as the last? Prometheus (Prometheus_0034): If you knew, the outcome would invariably be rather different than the one that's imminent. Though I suppose I can at least give you a hint... PrometheusLowHealth01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0049): I knew your injuries would be this grave, though perhaps you did not. Nothing a little {#Emph}time {#Prev}can't eventually heal of course. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2733): I'm grateful for your concern, though best mind your {#Emph}own {#Prev}injuries. Those bandages... you aren't at your peak. Although perhaps this means we'll have a fairer fight. Prometheus (Prometheus_0050): My wounds have long since been a hindrance to me. I do not let them fully heal, so I am always cognizant of what I'm fighting for. And Aetos here appreciates it, too. PrometheusLowHealth02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0128): My forces almost stopped you but they didn't quite succeed. Yet even now you're outnumbered against Aetos and me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2883): The prospect of exacting vengeance on your troublesome Eagle, if not you yourself, helps keep me going. Shall we commence? Prometheus (Prometheus_0129): Yes. I mustn't keep you waiting. For I know who shall have their vengeance here, and I'm eager for {#Emph}you {#Prev}to find out. PrometheusLowHealth02_B Prometheus (Prometheus_0128_B): My forces almost stopped you but they didn't quite succeed. Now you're against Aetos and me. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2883): The prospect of exacting vengeance on your troublesome Eagle, if not you yourself, helps keep me going. Shall we commence? Prometheus (Prometheus_0129): Yes. I mustn't keep you waiting. For I know who shall have their vengeance here, and I'm eager for {#Emph}you {#Prev}to find out. PrometheusLowHealth03 Prometheus (Prometheus_0130): How can you hope to surpass me in such a wretched state? Perhaps if I were bound in chains and my liver half-eaten this would have been more of an even match. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2884): I'm not under the impression that you seek sporting competition here, Prometheus. Now let's get on with it. Prometheus (Prometheus_0131): A sporting competition! There must be a certain thrill in not knowing a battle's outcome before it occurs. Even outcomes as likely as this. PrometheusMemory_P2.OnHitVoiceLines Prometheus (Prometheus_0428): Poor choice. Prometheus (Prometheus_0429): Caught you. Prometheus (Prometheus_0430): Caught out. Prometheus (Prometheus_0431): You lack focus. Prometheus (Prometheus_0432): You're scattered. Prometheus (Prometheus_0433): Wrong. Prometheus (Prometheus_0434): Come on. Prometheus (Prometheus_0435): How quickly they forget. Prometheus (Prometheus_0436): Wake up. Prometheus (Prometheus_0437): Try again. Prometheus (Prometheus_0438): Uh-uh. Prometheus (Prometheus_0439): You merely guess. PrometheusMemory_P3.OnHitVoiceLines Prometheus (Prometheus_0428): Poor choice. Prometheus (Prometheus_0429): Caught you. Prometheus (Prometheus_0430): Caught out.

PrometheusMiscStart02 Prometheus (Prometheus_0012): I know the outcome of our each and every clash; yet somehow you surprise me even still. PrometheusMiscStart03 Prometheus (Prometheus_0013): The entirety of my strength shall never again return, but I've enough for this. PrometheusMiscStart04 Prometheus (Prometheus_0014): Aetos here still longs for the taste of liver, and who are we to deny him that? PrometheusMiscStart05 Prometheus (Prometheus_0015): The Agent of Change returns, and the course of history shall never be the same. PrometheusMiscStart06 Prometheus (Prometheus_0016): Sooner or later, the age of gods shall end, no matter how ferociously you fight. PrometheusMiscStart07 Prometheus (Prometheus_0017): I'm still a little sore after what the gods did to me, for all my so-called crimes. PrometheusMiscStart08 Prometheus (Prometheus_0018): You gods seek worshipers, in all your vanity; we Titans seek only what is ours. PrometheusMiscStart09 Prometheus (Prometheus_0019): I endured having my liver eaten for an aeon; these bouts with you are nothing. PrometheusMiscStart10 Prometheus (Prometheus_0020): The gift of fire I bestowed to mortalkind; I made certain to save some for you. PrometheusMiscStart11 Prometheus (Prometheus_0021): Do you see? Each moment I delay you, Time's plan comes closer to fruition. PrometheusMiscStart12 Prometheus (Prometheus_0022): Whether you shall break me here again is for me to know and for you to find out. PrometheusMiscStart13 Prometheus (Prometheus_0023): I've seen your every trick; all that you are capable of! And you are not at your best. PrometheusMiscStart14 Prometheus (Prometheus_0024): I shall not be the one to topple this mountain; neither shall you be the one to save it. PrometheusMiscStart15 Prometheus (Prometheus_0155): You've seen nothing of this world, yet defend it; I have seen it all, and shall burn it down. PrometheusMiscStart16 Prometheus (Prometheus_0156): You owe your family nothing, yet give everything to them. Fools, all of you. PrometheusMiscStart17 Prometheus (Prometheus_0157): There shall come a time when our conflict has ended; but I wouldn't hold my breath. PrometheusMiscStart18 Prometheus (Prometheus_0158): What gods and Titans did to one another can never be forgiven... merely forgotten. PrometheusMiscStart19 Prometheus (Prometheus_0159): This fire coursing through me, burning me inside... I'll show you how it feels. PrometheusMiscStart20 Prometheus (Prometheus_0160): If I'm already guilty of unforgivable crimes according to Olympus, then this matters not. PrometheusMiscStart21 Prometheus (Prometheus_0161): No chains shall ever bind me again; I both swear it and I know it to be true. PrometheusMiscStart22 Prometheus (Prometheus_0162): You've some small amount of foresight by now, do you not? You know how this ends. PrometheusMiscStart23 Prometheus (Prometheus_0478): The gods demand your services and you comply; but I am obligated to resist. PrometheusMiscStart24 Prometheus (Prometheus_0479): I'll not attempt to tell you what shall come of this... for you would never believe it. PrometheusMiscStart25 Prometheus (Prometheus_0481): I need no armaments to drive you back... unless you count this flame. PrometheusMiscStart26 Prometheus (Prometheus_0482): You've kept good Heracles there waiting patiently to put that club of his to further use. PrometheusMiscStart27 Prometheus (Prometheus_0483): We are the fury of Olympus here, not you; and we shall never abandon this fight. PrometheusMiscStart28 Prometheus (Prometheus_0484): Heracles is bound to serve the gods, as apparently are you. Yet {#Emph}this {#Prev}is the result. PrometheusMiscStart29 Prometheus (Prometheus_0485): You cannot break us, Agent of Change; but perhaps you can break past us again. PrometheusMiscStart30 Prometheus (Prometheus_0539): I had a premonition of this very moment. PrometheusMiscStart31 Prometheus (Prometheus_0540): I know where this all leads. Let's see it through! PrometheusMiscStart32 Prometheus (Prometheus_0541): I almost regret what's about to transpire. PrometheusMiscStart33 Prometheus (Prometheus_0542): Come, let us see whether this is your night or mine! PrometheusMiscStart34 Prometheus (Prometheus_0543): Perhaps it's best we keep our conversations curt. PrometheusMiscStart35 Prometheus (Prometheus_0544): Change does not come without conflict. PrometheusMiscStart36 Prometheus (Prometheus_0480): It seems I now pay penance to the gods once more, though they shall never bind me. PrometheusPackagedBounties01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0143): How quickly you arrived this night! Bending the very laws of nature to achieve your goal... forging alliances with beings who care nothing for you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2890): I did take a shortcut, but you're wrong about the rest. I know the being to whom you refer, and they're not what you presume them to be. Prometheus (Prometheus_0144): No...? But isn't it {#Emph}Chaos {#Prev}that delivers you so close to your goal, yet shall let you go no farther... even if you should prevail here? I know where this all leads; let's see it through! PrometheusPostTrueEnding01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0344): Well, Agent of Change... the monster Typhon is eliminated and my master certainly is not himself; or rather, now he {#Emph}is. {#Prev}Many have said they knew you could do it but only {#Emph}I {#Prev}truly did. Yet you know as well as I that we're not finished. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3957): Chronos has surrendered, but here you still are, giving his remnant legions their orders. Decided to take matters into your {#Emph}own {#Prev}thieving hands, then? Prometheus (Prometheus_0345): That I decided long ago, when I gave myself to your lord uncle's chains. And I still oppose you, yes. For what you seek beyond, you shall find only through the flames of battle! PrometheusPostTrueEnding02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3958): The gods are grudgingly {#Emph}permitting {#Prev}this behavior of yours, Titan? The vandalizing of their mountain... the perpetual assaults on their defenses... fighting me? Prometheus (Prometheus_0346): My master, or perhaps my {#Emph}former {#Prev}master as I now should say, wishes to undo certain perceived wrongs, as you are well aware. I merely have a part to play in this. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3959): And you're prepared to fight eternally against me, then? For my grandfather to be absolved of the mistakes of his past, and for the future of the gods to be secured? Prometheus (Prometheus_0347): I am prepared to fight eternally for what I believe in; and so that {#Emph}time flows freely forth{#Prev}, if that is what it takes. PrometheusPostTrueEnding03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3961): The war is over, Titan! Drop the act. You still refer to Chronos as your master, and seem no less charitable towards the gods, despite now doing this for their sake not just yours. Prometheus (Prometheus_0350): You know as well as I that the conditions of your climb need to approximate your prior path, if you are going to succeed. And I admit that the result I seek would otherwise not be possible. Thus, here we find ourselves. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3962): The result you seek involves me repeatedly beating you up? Perhaps all you really {#Emph}do {#Prev}want is a proper thrashing, under the guise of acting like some sort of savior. Prometheus (Prometheus_0351): I have extraordinarily high tolerance for pain. Though for such mockery, less so. Remember, we can {#Emph}both {#Prev}administer a thrashing here. PrometheusWonAgainstHim01 Prometheus (Prometheus_0007): You know what lies beyond, and still returned. I knew you would, of course, yet I don't know why. Because you won't tell me... Melinoe (MelinoeField_2384): That's right. Your nonsense riddles are a bigger threat to my health than you, or your blasted Eagle pet for that matter.

Scylla (Scylla_0241): My big break...! ScyllaAboutAgents01 Scylla (Scylla_0193): In my meeting with the gals the other night, we got to talking, {#Emph}I was talking mostly{#Prev}, but we started wondering what is your {#Emph}deal? {#Prev}Jetty thinks maybe you're an {#Emph}agent? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2556): Jetty is rather perceptive, then... for I am indeed an agent of Night. This realm has fallen to the Titan; we shall see it restored to its rightful rule. No matter who gets in our way. Scylla (Scylla_0194): I can't believe it, Jetty, you were {#Emph}right? {#Prev}An agent on the hunt! Well your search is over, Agent Lady, because {#Emph}you {#Prev}won't find a bigger talent in the sea or out! Just {#Emph}watch! ScyllaAboutAgents01_2 Scylla (Scylla_0336): Agent Lady, welcome {#Emph}back! {#Prev}So who's this {#Emph}Night {#Prev}you're working for, and who else has she signed? She sounds intense. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3605): I spoke of the one and only Night, whose presence fills the Underworld and surface. She is one of the eldest primordial powers; yet the Titan Chronos thought he could stop her. Scylla (Scylla_0337): {#Emph}Ooh{#Prev}, sounds like some {#Emph}healthy competition! {#Prev}Well, if this Night {#Emph}really {#Prev}wants us to sign with her, she'd better make a {#Emph}good offer! {#Prev}Else Mister Chronos might snatch up all the talent! ScyllaAboutAgents02 Scylla (Scylla_0195): You're not really an agent, are you, lady? Just pulling our fins, trying to get our hopes up, only to {#Emph}dash {#Prev}them against the rocks! How low can you {#Emph}sink? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2557): Get your hopes up? Listen to me: I seek {#Emph}Chronos{#Prev}, not you. Perhaps you shall be hunted by some other agent, though. Scylla (Scylla_0196): You better believe it, gals! Even {#Emph}this {#Prev}lady knows a rising star when she sees one. When she {#Emph}hears {#Prev}one! And she's gonna put in a good word for us, {#Emph}won't she? ScyllaAboutAltFight01 Scylla (Scylla_0279): Soak it up, lady! One of our proud sponsors made all our dreams come true: a {#Emph}brand-new {#Prev}stage, {#Emph}and{#Prev}... a collaboration with one of the {#Emph}biggest {#Prev}names this side of the sea! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3538): Charybdis, here with you...? This is no sponsor's doing but the will of Night. As fear spreads, so do these manifestations of nightmares... my own apparently. Scylla (Scylla_0280): Bad-mouth our sponsor all you like, but they got taste, and you do not! We're debuting our latest single thanks to them, and there's nothing you can do to stop it...! At least not the first part. ScyllaAboutAltFight02 Scylla (Scylla_0282): Come to heckle us some more, lady? Well it won't {#Emph}work! {#Prev}No matter what you do, this crowd thinks it's all part of the act. They're not just here for the music, but the {#Emph}full experience! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3539): And watching you and your band get trounced repeatedly is the experience you're seeking to provide? You artists truly do make sacrifices for your craft. Scylla (Scylla_0283): That's {#Emph}right! {#Prev}I've given {#Emph}everything {#Prev}to reach this point in my career, to reach {#Emph}this {#Prev}very moment, on {#Emph}this {#Prev}very stage! And I'm prepared to give even more... what about {#Emph}you?! ScyllaAboutAltFight03 Scylla (Scylla_0284): Back to our old and smaller stage as you can see, {#Emph}just {#Prev}for the night I'm sure! But our sponsor's going to come through! Put us back in the {#Emph}spotlight {#Prev}where we {#Emph}belong, hm! {#Prev}Eventually! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3540): Who do you even think this mysterious sponsor is, setting the location for our clash and whether that horrid Charybdis makes a guest appearance? Scylla (Scylla_0285): Nice try, lady. You can barge onto our stage, no {#Emph}matter {#Prev}the size... you can try and take our sense of style... {#Emph}even our fans! {#Prev}But you'll never take our {#Emph}sponsors!! ScyllaAboutAltFight04 Scylla (Scylla_0286): Sometimes we like going back to this smaller venue for old time's sake! Lots of our fans want us sticking to our roots. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3541): So you comply with their every request? They don't sound much like fans if they're forcing their will upon you. Scylla (Scylla_0287): Oh, spoken like somebody who never {#Emph}had {#Prev}any fans to satisfy. We're only here because our audience has come to {#Emph}love {#Prev}our songs. So it's a give-and-take sort of relationship: {#Emph}our {#Prev}music, sailors' {#Emph}lives! {#Prev}And {#Emph}yours! ScyllaAboutAltFight05 Scylla (Scylla_0288): This is the big break we've been {#Emph}waiting for! {#Prev}I told the gals we'd be back in the spotlight on the big stage in {#Emph}no {#Prev}time. {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, but the {#Emph}bigger {#Prev}we get... the more {#Emph}detractors {#Prev}we'll get... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3542): And do you try to suffocate all your detractors as well as your fans, and if so, how will you keep accumulating more and more? Scylla (Scylla_0289): Don't worry your pretty little head about that, lady! You've got bigger problems, like our special guest... who happens to be good at suffocating multiple detractors all at once. ScyllaAboutAltFight06 Scylla (Scylla_0290): Big crowd here tonight, lady! Oh, we don't get turnouts like this {#Emph}every {#Prev}time, {#Emph}even {#Prev}if we really should! Though at our scale, we can't help but pick up some more-casual fans! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3543): Not every Shade here in the Underworld can devote their every evening to attending your performances, Scylla. You don't even have that many songs. Scylla (Scylla_0291): How would you even know?! We like to play our greatest hits, but we got plenty more! Ones you haven't heard of, probably, since you're our most {#Emph}casual {#Prev}fan of all! ScyllaAboutAltFight07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3544): So what's next for Scylla and the Sirens now that you've had your big break? An even bigger venue? Better songs? Scylla (Scylla_0292): Even bigger venue, {#Emph}possibly! {#Prev}Even better songs, {#Emph}impossibly. {#Prev}Because our music is {#Emph}already {#Prev}the best! We {#Emph}could {#Prev}always make more if we really want, {#Emph}heh! {#Prev}Though right now, me and the gals want {#Emph}something more... ScyllaAboutAltFight08 Scylla (Scylla_0293): Too bad Charybdis couldn't be here tonight, lady! Like she was supposed to. Probably back up on the {#Emph}surface{#Prev}, stuffing her face as usual! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3545): I can see that. It must take a lot of sustenance to regenerate all those tentacles I've had to slice off. Scylla (Scylla_0294): Well, the show must go on! We're playing {#Emph}Rock and a Hard Place{#Prev}, with or without our special guest! And our small but dedicated audience is gonna {#Emph}eat it up! ScyllaAboutAmbitions01 Scylla (Scylla_0008): {#Emph}I knew it! {#Prev}She's come {#Emph}back! {#Prev}You ready for another show, lady? We've been rehearsing our material, practicing nonstop, because one day? I'm gonna be a {#Emph}star! {#Prev}Oh, me and the gals! Melinoe (Melinoe_1042): What do your musical ambitions have to do with unprovoked acts of violence against {#Emph}me? Scylla (Scylla_0009): She's just heckling us, gals, ignore her, and take it from the top, {#Emph}two, three, four...! ScyllaAboutAmbitions02 Scylla (Scylla_0010): Oh, always wanted to sing in front of a great big crowd, you know? And not just a bunch of crusty sailors, but like, one of those gigantic theaters they got up on land! Melinoe (Melinoe_1828): Not my area of expertise. Do performances in these theaters typically involve attempts to drown the members of the audience? Scylla (Scylla_0011): Oh, yeah... and mortals show up to them in massive droves, kicking and screaming, just to get a glimpse, {#Emph}heh! {#Prev}Yet you get a show {#Emph}all to yourself! ScyllaAboutBallad01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4308): Was that a new song I heard on my way in? Something about treasures glimmering. Another one about the sea! Scylla (Scylla_0436): You {#Emph}could {#Prev}have said {#Emph}Scylla, I don't know anything about themes, so I just can't appreciate the depth of your work! {#Prev}But {#Emph}yeah{#Prev}, it {#Emph}is {#Prev}a new song! And only the first part. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4309): I suppose the second part is imminent. You make your performances unnecessarily difficult by fighting me, but that's a choice you keep on making. Scylla (Scylla_0437): Well we have to drown {#Emph}someone! {#Prev}And sailors have gotten too {#Emph}easy{#Prev}, lady. You'll never be an artist if you don't push {#Emph}harder, and harder, and harder...! ScyllaAboutBallad02 Scylla (Scylla_0439): What'd you think of our latest number, lady? Critics say {#Emph}Bewitching Eyes {#Prev}reveals a {#Emph}soulful{#Prev}, more {#Emph}vulnerable {#Prev}side of Scylla and the Sirens. But what do they know? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4311): I couldn't make out all the lyrics while fighting back you lot, but you sang of red and green bewitching eyes and love potions and such. Is this truly how you feel about me? Scylla (Scylla_0440): {#Emph}Pff, no! {#Prev}Why would I feel any of those things, especially about {#Emph}you{#Prev}, lady? It's called a {#Emph}fictionalized work? {#Prev}And besides, Jetty mostly wrote that one. ScyllaAboutBallad03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4312): You truly expect me to believe that neither {#Emph}I Am Gonna Claw {#Prev}nor {#Emph}Bewitching Eyes {#Prev}concern our meetings? Though if you're drawn to me, you have an odd way of showing it. Scylla (Scylla_0441): No way! {#Emph}You're {#Prev}the one who always shows up {#Emph}here{#Prev}, lady. You are obviously drawn to {#Emph}me! {#Prev}Or one or more of us. Jetty knows it, Roxy knows it, {#Emph}everyone {#Prev}in Oceanus knows it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4313): Oh come on, Scylla. I'll admit I don't dislike your songs as much as I previously let on, but that's as far as I'll go. Scylla (Scylla_0442): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, you hear that, gals? That's as far as she'll go! I {#Emph}told {#Prev}you. Now either {#Emph}she {#Prev}gets off this stage, or {#Emph}we {#Prev}do! ScyllaAboutCharybdis01 Scylla (Scylla_0203): We used to play the {#Emph}surface{#Prev}, you know! That's when we {#Emph}really {#Prev}started to hit it big! Even had {#Emph}Charybdis {#Prev}open for us a few times, can you imagine? Melinoe (MelinoeField_2561): So what? Charybdis opened for me just the other night. I practically couldn't get it to shut up! Scylla (Scylla_0204): Like I believe {#Emph}that! {#Prev}Though I bet you {#Emph}are {#Prev}from up there, aren't you? You think you're underground, like us, but you'll {#Emph}always {#Prev}be {#Emph}mainstream! ScyllaAboutCharybdis02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3598): Sharing the spotlight seems unlike you, Scylla. How will you make a name for yourself if you keep collaborating with a bigger performer like Charybdis? Scylla (Scylla_0328): Charybdis has the bigger {#Emph}mouth {#Prev}all right, but {#Emph}we {#Prev}got a pretty different act. Sailors often can't decide {#Emph}which {#Prev}of us they like more, so... we figured: Why not let them have both? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3599): This also doesn't strike me as the simplest creative partnership. Yet you're working together, to please your audience, or simply to stop {#Emph}me. {#Prev}I'm almost impressed. Scylla (Scylla_0329): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, words we very often hear, yet always mean {#Emph}so {#Prev}much! Especially from our {#Emph}harshest {#Prev}detractors! Won't stop us from trying to drown you like always, lady... but {#Emph}thanks. ScyllaAboutChlams01 Scylla (Scylla_0018): Oh hey gals, guess who?! It's the {#Emph}one that got away{#Prev}, that's who! {#Emph}Mm{#Prev}, something you ought to know about me, lady... is once I catch 'em... I never let 'em go. Melinoe (Melinoe_2037): That comes as no surprise to me at all. Some sea creatures are famously clingy. Barnacles, chlams... Scylla (Scylla_0019): I am {#Emph}not {#Prev}a chlam!! You take that back. I'll {#Emph}make {#Prev}you take that back! ScyllaAboutChlams02 Melinoe (Melinoe_2038): Now, see here! I'd no intention to offend last time, and never said you {#Emph}were {#Prev}a chlam. The least you could do is base your anger in reality. Scylla (Scylla_0020): Would you listen to that, gals, she's still talking about chlams! Poking fun at my little shell here, huh, {#Emph}hm-hm! {#Prev}Well, let's show her how we deal with hecklers 'round {#Emph}these {#Prev}parts! ScyllaAboutChronos01 Scylla (Scylla_0197): Well, if it isn't the little name-dropper! Off to see your good friend Mister Chronos again, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}He {#Emph}loves {#Prev}our act! You'll {#Emph}drown {#Prev}before you take his sponsorship away from us! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2558): Oh I'm not after any sponsorships from him. And we're {#Emph}not {#Prev}friends. We merely have some business to resolve... which {#Emph}you {#Prev}continue to impede night after night. Scylla (Scylla_0198): {#Emph}Business? {#Prev}With {#Emph}him? {#Prev}Then you must be somebody's kid, no {#Emph}way {#Prev}you'd have connections like that on your own! You know, some of us had to {#Emph}earn {#Prev}our spotlight, lady! ScyllaAboutChronos02 Scylla (Scylla_0199): Gonna level with you, lady. We can't have you bugging Mister Chronos {#Emph}every night! {#Prev}He doesn't pay much attention to our venue here, and we want to {#Emph}keep {#Prev}it that way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2559): I don't think Chronos is concerned with you at all. So maybe back off, focus on your songwriting, instead of trying to asphyxiate me constantly? Scylla (Scylla_0200): Oh she just doesn't get it, gals! But don't worry. They're {#Emph}never {#Prev}gonna shut us down, not while we keep on drawing crowds like {#Emph}this! {#Prev}It's {#Emph}good publicity! ScyllaAboutCirce01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3592): Are you familiar with the enchantress Circe? She mentioned that she knew you in her youth... though, I'm uncertain if you were on friendly terms. Scylla (Scylla_0317): The {#Emph}enchantress {#Prev}Circe, no that doesn't ring a bell! The only Circe {#Emph}I {#Prev}knew was the talentless pathetic little runt of the litter of Helios himself! What has this {#Emph}other {#Prev}Circe got to say? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3593): She gave me the impression you were always rather boisterous, even back then. Perhaps already practicing the kinds of songs you think shall bring you fame. Scylla (Scylla_0318): It's no secret I always knew what I wanted to be, lady. Always knew what I was {#Emph}meant {#Prev}to be! Circe and so many others... all they ever did was get in my {#Emph}way! Same as you. ScyllaAboutComeback01 Scylla (Scylla_0026): {#Emph}Hohh, {#Prev}surprised to see us again, lady? {#Emph}Heh, {#Prev}'cause we're not going anywhere. This is our big {#Emph}comeback tour{#Prev}, after all! Melinoe (Melinoe_2042): I thought I dealt with you last time, yet here you are. Am I going to have to drive you back into the sea? Scylla (Scylla_0027): I don't know, am I going to have to tell Jetty and Roxy to {#Emph}play {#Prev}their hearts out? {#Emph}No{#Prev}, I'm not! 'Cause that's just what they do! {#Emph}Don't you{#Prev}, gals? ScyllaAboutCurse01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3590): If I may ask, who made you this way, Scylla? Because my understanding is that you weren't always, well... the way you are. Scylla (Scylla_0315): {#Emph}Oh-hoh{#Prev}, I'm entirely self-made, {#Emph}thank you{#Prev}, lady! You think I'm going to attribute all my talent to {#Emph}somebody else? {#Prev}A {#Emph}wizened songmaster {#Prev}who taught me all I know? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3591): Your musical talents being innate doesn't surprise me; I'm asking how did you become a sea-monster. Weren't you the victim of a curse? Scylla (Scylla_0316): {#Emph}Hah! Oh{#Prev}, something you wouldn't understand is, the more famous you get, the more they're going to say about ya! Because they're {#Emph}jealous! {#Prev}I let all of it {#Emph}roll {#Prev}off my shell. No good artist lets a random lie or {#Emph}insult {#Prev}get to them! ScyllaAboutDiving01 Scylla (Scylla_0330): You better {#Emph}work {#Prev}with us tonight, lady! There's a potential sponsor somewhere in the stands so we have {#Emph}got {#Prev}to put on a {#Emph}big show! {#Prev}Bigger than when you beat us normally. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3600): I'm not here to contribute to your misguided attempts to earn stardom, or sponsorships for that matter. You truly thought I'd let you beat me just because you asked? Scylla (Scylla_0331): I {#Emph}truly thought {#Prev}that you might have a shred of {#Emph}decency! {#Prev}Look, we are gonna start our {#Emph}song {#Prev}now, as we try to {#Emph}drown {#Prev}you, so just think about letting me and the gals {#Emph}have {#Prev}this one! ScyllaAboutDiving02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3601): So did you get the sponsorship the other night? I still feel ashamed for losing to you last time simply because you asked somewhat nicely. There had better be some upside. Scylla (Scylla_0332): {#Emph}Ooh-hoo-hoo{#Prev}, we got our sponsorship all right, {#Emph}hmhm...! {#Prev}At least, we will eventually. Apparently our sponsor showed up just to see us take a {#Emph}dive! {#Prev}Since {#Emph}you've {#Prev}been messing up our {#Emph}shows {#Prev}night after night! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3602): You're saying I let you beat me for absolutely {#Emph}no reason? Scylla (Scylla_0333): You didn't let us beat you, you just {#Emph}lost! {#Prev}You're getting soft and easier to drown. {#Emph}You {#Prev}don't have what it {#Emph}takes {#Prev}to succeed in this business! But {#Emph}we {#Prev}do. ScyllaAboutDiving02_B Melinoe (MelinoeField_3603): So did you end up getting the sponsorship the other night? If your benefactor is interested in supporting you, they may as well know of your propensity to lose to me. Scylla (Scylla_0334): {#Emph}Ohh {#Prev}we got our sponsorship all right! Our sponsor showed up {#Emph}just {#Prev}to see us take a dive, since {#Emph}you've {#Prev}been messing up our shows night after night. And they {#Emph}loved {#Prev}what they saw! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3604): But you had asked me to hold back; to let you win. Your sponsor {#Emph}wanted {#Prev}you to lose? Scylla (Scylla_0335): Our sponsor wanted an {#Emph}authentic performance{#Prev}, and that's {#Emph}exactly {#Prev}what we delivered! What we're {#Emph}always {#Prev}going to deliver from now on! So {#Emph}do your worst{#Prev}, lady. ScyllaAboutDying01 Scylla (Scylla_0140): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, you keep trying to {#Emph}kill {#Prev}me, lady! The former Sea-Nymph side of me says {#Emph}just forget it {#Prev}and move on! But, I don't like to listen to her anymore. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2018): That you don't listen to yourself explains a lot. I know better than to try and kill an Oceanid. I just need you to get out of my way. Scylla (Scylla_0141): Hear that gals? I distinctly heard the lady say {#Emph}I need you {#Prev}there, {#Emph}hoho! {#Prev}Our art changes lives! What say we change {#Emph}this {#Prev}one right {#Emph}now...? ScyllaAboutGrandeur01 Scylla (Scylla_0028_B): Don't worry, gals. One day? They'll put us up on the biggest stage, for {#Emph}all the world to see! Melinoe (Melinoe_2043): I'm not particularly interested in listening to your delusions of grandeur right now, so why not start your little song. Scylla (Scylla_0029): Oh, it may be a little song to you {#Emph}now{#Prev}, lady. But it's going to be huge someday. You'll see. We'll show her, won't we, gals? ScyllaAboutGreenRoom01 Scylla (Scylla_0189): See anything you like in our greenroom down there, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}Maybe you didn't notice the sign but that's our {#Emph}private {#Prev}little area where fans are {#Emph}not supposed to go! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2554): Your so-called {#Emph}greenroom {#Prev}happens to be built atop a drain that spills into the Mourning Fields below. You could always flush your sorry work down {#Emph}there{#Prev}, where it'll fit right in. Scylla (Scylla_0190): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, you went looking through our {#Emph}work! {#Prev}So what if a few ideas go unused here and there? If you don't {#Emph}cut... {#Prev}you never get to the {#Emph}good stuff. ScyllaAboutMerch01 Scylla (Scylla_0307): The gals and I decided recently, we need a {#Emph}product line! {#Prev}Authentic tokens of our {#Emph}breathtaking {#Prev}performances our fans can purchase for a reasonable price after the show! But we can't sell them with {#Emph}you {#Prev}getting in our way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3586): You're the ones getting in {#Emph}my {#Prev}way! I never chose to have these fights! What do I care if you sell wall-scrolls and such to audience members who have resources to spare? Scylla (Scylla_0308): How did {#Emph}you {#Prev}know that we offer wall-scrolls? {#Emph}Oh, hohohoh! {#Prev}You probably already got some of our merchandise and want it {#Emph}all to yourself! {#Prev}Well, if you want special treatment, {#Emph}come get it! ScyllaAboutNarcissus01 Scylla (Scylla_0338): By now, every single soul in Oceanus knows our name, lady! Especially {#Emph}mine! {#Prev}For all your efforts to defame us, all you've accomplished is the opposite! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3606): At the risk of arguing over a technicality, I've met at least one soul in Oceanus who couldn't care less about your act. He'd much rather stare into a shallow pool than listen to you. Scylla (Scylla_0339): {#Emph}Well{#Prev}, we can't please everyone, can we? We'd be giving up all our {#Emph}integrity {#Prev}if we even {#Emph}tried... {#Prev}something {#Emph}you {#Prev}wouldn't know the first thing about! ScyllaAboutNoShow01 Scylla (Scylla_0305): It's been {#Emph}so {#Prev}nice without {#Emph}you {#Prev}recently, lady! We've been playing our {#Emph}full {#Prev}set list night after night, {#Emph}no {#Prev}technical difficulties! Even had more and more {#Emph}sailors {#Prev}dropping in! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3585): Those sailors dropping in are probably the Titan's naval forces I've been vanquishing throughout the Rift of Thessaly above. I think I recognize a few out in the stands. Scylla (Scylla_0306): You expect me to believe you've been promoting our events? We're getting lots of word-of-mouth lately, sure, but you've had {#Emph}nothing {#Prev}to {#Emph}do {#Prev}with it! Except by going {#Emph}away! ScyllaAboutOdysseus01 Scylla (Scylla_0024): So tell me, lady, {#Emph}how is it {#Prev}that you seem to know our tricks? Other than the part where we keep playing the same act. Usually it slays! Melinoe (Melinoe_2041): The Great Tactician Odysseus says hello. Told me all about you. You claim you never let anybody get away, though {#Emph}I {#Prev}understand all but six of his hapless men got well away from you. Scylla (Scylla_0025): {#Emph}Odysseus, hah! {#Prev}Oh, {#Emph}he's {#Prev}still on the hook! Big fish like that just {#Emph}takes a while to reel in{#Prev}, as he might say. Our song must still be bouncing around in his {#Emph}pretty {#Prev}little head! And now for yours... ScyllaAboutOdysseus02 Scylla (Scylla_0303): We know how come you keep on showing up here, don't we, lady? You're like Odysseus and {#Emph}all {#Prev}the rest! Though... what was with that Princess of the Underworld stuff he was going on about? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3584): Nothing that you need concern yourself with at this point. So you think I keep returning because I love your music? Why wouldn't I just listen to it then, instead of fighting you? Scylla (Scylla_0304): Live music is an interactive experience. You don't just sit back and {#Emph}hear {#Prev}it! You {#Emph}immerse {#Prev}yourself in it... soak it in, {#Emph}ahaha! {#Prev}And you've been doing that more than {#Emph}just {#Prev}about anyone. ScyllaAboutOdysseusQuest01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4354): Scylla, would you mind if I put you in touch with a mutual acquaintance? It'll only be a moment. {#Emph}Heed now my voice, Odysseus; one whom you sought is here! Scylla (Scylla_0296): I knew you'd come back, sailor. Once they hear our song, they always {#Emph}do! {#Prev}Unless they drown, and sometimes even after {#Emph}that. Ah{#Prev}, just had to get another listen, {#Emph}huh? Odysseus (Odysseus_0567): Aye, Scylla, you and your Siren song left quite an impression on me in my mortal days! And I no longer wish to keep pretending otherwise. Scylla (Scylla_0297): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, well if you want an earful, {#Emph}suit yourself! {#Prev}Nothing we'd rather do than please our longtime fans. I {#Emph}think {#Prev}some of your old crew's already in the crowd! The ones I {#Emph}took. Odysseus (Odysseus_0568): We had no choice but to sail past you, and good men gave their lives. But now the Princess of the Underworld shall give them all a show to remember! Scylla (Scylla_0298): {#Emph}Princess of the Underworld... this {#Prev}lady? {#Emph}Hah! {#Prev}You always were the scheming sort and haven't changed a bit. Well then listen up, all of you... ScyllaAboutOdysseusQuest02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4355): I think a certain sailor would like another quick word! {#Emph}Heed now my voice, Odysseus; one whom you sought is here! Scylla (Scylla_0301): How was our show for you last time, Odysseus, as good as you recall? It {#Emph}must {#Prev}have been if you're back here {#Emph}again. {#Prev}Not that you had much choice in the matter! Odysseus (Odysseus_0569): I'm here because the Princess of the Underworld summoned me, Scylla. Though getting to hear your song again is a nice benefit. It's not my wish to delay your production so I'll be somewhere in the audience, all right? Scylla (Scylla_0302): Oh you go right ahead, {#Emph}heh. {#Prev}We don't want everybody barging up on stage! Not with this {#Emph}Princess of the Underworld {#Prev}already soaking up all the {#Emph}spotlight! ScyllaAboutPackagedBounties01 Scylla (Scylla_0209): Look who got here way too early for tonight's show! Doors weren't meant to open yet, lady! Not that {#Emph}you {#Prev}care about this venue's very reasonable code of conduct. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2718): Oh I'm familiar with the venue at this point. And if you aren't ready to perform yet, great! I don't really want to hear it from you anyway. Scylla (Scylla_0210): Well, {#Emph}too bad! {#Prev}Because even though you're way too early, you are {#Emph}just {#Prev}in time for the private {#Emph}pre{#Prev}-show concert that was {#Emph}just about to start! ScyllaAboutPoseidon01 Scylla (Scylla_0340): There's a lot to like about this part of Oceanus, don't you think? The acoustics are the {#Emph}perfect {#Prev}blend of {#Emph}land {#Prev}and {#Emph}sea... {#Prev}and that {#Emph}Poseidon {#Prev}has no control over {#Emph}any {#Prev}of it! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3607): You're taking advantage of this place being past the border of the realm beneath the Earth. I don't think Lord Poseidon would appreciate that, should you ever return to his waters. Scylla (Scylla_0341): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, if we ever go back to {#Emph}his {#Prev}waters, we'll be {#Emph}so {#Prev}big that he wouldn't {#Emph}dare {#Prev}mess with us! He or {#Emph}any {#Prev}of the gods! Wherever we go, we're gonna be the {#Emph}main attraction. ScyllaAboutReputation01 Scylla (Scylla_0012): They say... our songs are {#Emph}to die for{#Prev}, but lately we don't get a lot of company. Oh, you wouldn't know anything about {#Emph}that{#Prev}, right? Because {#Emph}somebody's {#Prev}been smearing our good name... Melinoe (Melinoe_1043): Your reputation is yours to build or ruin. Doubt anyone I know has even heard of you, besides. Scylla (Scylla_0013): Come on, gals! Let's go {#Emph}all out {#Prev}again before the crowd shows up! They're {#Emph}going {#Prev}to show up! I just {#Emph}know {#Prev}it! ScyllaAboutRumors01 Scylla (Scylla_0434): Go on and heckle us, lady! We're {#Emph}big{#Prev}, we've got thick scales! {#Emph}Scylla's got a voice like yelping dogs! Her lustrous hair looks like a bunch of snakey heads! {#Prev}We've heard it all! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4307): I wasn't going to say any of those things, which strike me as bizarre. Perhaps if you didn't antagonize your audience so much, they'd be more charitable. Scylla (Scylla_0435): Their words roll {#Emph}right {#Prev}off our backs! At least {#Emph}mine. {#Prev}I only care about their {#Emph}cheers {#Prev}and their {#Emph}screams... {#Prev}which all start to sound the same after a while... ScyllaAboutSayingLittle01 Scylla (Scylla_0445): {#Emph}Stop! {#Prev}Don't say {#Emph}anything{#Prev}, lady, it's impolite to talk during the show in case you hadn't noticed! I'm through listening to {#Emph}you {#Prev}anyway! But definitely not the {#Emph}other {#Prev}way around. ScyllaAboutShrine01 Scylla (Scylla_0311): This is gonna be our night! Can't you just {#Emph}feel {#Prev}it, gals? Don't know about you all but {#Emph}I {#Prev}am feeling even more {#Emph}unstoppable {#Prev}than normal! {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, and just in {#Emph}time... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3588): Oh you're still stoppable, although the will of Night has made you stronger, yes. Shall we find out to what extent? Scylla (Scylla_0312): Stoppable? {#Emph}Ahaha. Us? {#Prev}You don't get it, lady. We've never missed a single show, and we are {#Emph}not {#Prev}about to start! {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, of course with live performances, there's no telling what might happen... ScyllaAboutShrine02 Scylla (Scylla_0313): {#Emph}Ooh! {#Prev}So glad you just decided to show up, lady, because you're really in for it tonight! We're {#Emph}fresh {#Prev}from rehearsing our {#Emph}best {#Prev}moves and can't {#Emph}wait {#Prev}to try them in concert...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3589): Go on and do it, then. Though I already know all the ways in which you're going to be stronger than you used to be. Scylla (Scylla_0314): You're just saying that to try and hurt us before we hurt {#Emph}you! {#Prev}An artist's job is to {#Emph}enthrall {#Prev}her audience... and we can't {#Emph}do {#Prev}that just by doing things the same old way, {#Emph}can {#Prev}we? ScyllaAboutShrineBounty01 Scylla (Scylla_0319): {#Emph}Aww{#Prev}, lookit gals, our number one {#Emph}obsessive {#Prev}fan, come to ruin our show for {#Emph}everybody else! {#Prev}One day, we'll get our own {#Emph}big {#Prev}security team to {#Emph}take care {#Prev}of little incidents like this. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3594): I've little choice but to ruin your shows since you refuse to let me by... though this time at least I'm here for you, Scylla. The will of Night demands it. Scylla (Scylla_0320): Oh well that figures. Can't make it big without making some enemies! Well, our audience likes our shows no {#Emph}matter {#Prev}what happens. Like {#Emph}real {#Prev}fans! So {#Emph}do your worst, lady. ScyllaAboutShrineBounty02 Scylla (Scylla_0321): {#Emph}Whew{#Prev}, got a good feeling about this evening's show, how about you gals? The crowd is {#Emph}all worked up! {#Prev}And look who else...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3595): You likely sense the Testament of Night; those who threaten the Underworld are to be cast into obscurity. Such is law. Scylla (Scylla_0322): {#Emph}Obscurity? {#Prev}We've never been {#Emph}bigger! {#Prev}And our stars are rising with each and every performance. And we're about to make {#Emph}this {#Prev}one to remember! ScyllaAboutSirens01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1830): You know, I thought the Sirens were supposed to be the singing ones. But it's always {#Emph}you {#Prev}flapping your gills at me, Scylla... Scylla (Scylla_0023): {#Emph}Don't {#Prev}listen to her, gals! Your backup vocals are the backbone of this act! I've got the voice, {#Emph}you've {#Prev}got the music, we've got {#Emph}the magick! {#Prev}Let's give her a little taste, {#Emph}huh? ScyllaAboutSirens02 Scylla (Scylla_0213): We have our ups and downs, Jetty and Roxy and me. Our little squabbles! But thanks to {#Emph}you{#Prev}, we started fighting with each other in {#Emph}public! {#Prev}And we can't have {#Emph}that. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2720): If it makes you feel any better, the hex I put on them was only temporary. Quite frankly I'm surprised it worked on them at all! Night Bloom normally works only on the dead. Scylla (Scylla_0214): This is my band. And if anybody's gonna turn Jetty and Roxy red with rage against each other, it's {#Emph}not {#Prev}going to be {#Emph}you! {#Prev}Right, gals? ScyllaAboutSlump01 Scylla (Scylla_0191): Roxy, and Jetty, and I... we've been through bigger slumps than this, lady. It's gonna take more than your heckling to tear {#Emph}us {#Prev}apart! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2555): I don't know why I bother with you, Scylla. Or why Roxy and Jetty do! You've yet to let either one of them speak. Scylla (Scylla_0192): They {#Emph}speak {#Prev}through their {#Emph}work! {#Prev}Besides I'm not just lead singer, I'm in charge of the talent! And the gals aren't taking interviews right now, especially from the likes of {#Emph}you! ScyllaAboutSongs01 Scylla (Scylla_0014): {#Emph}Ooh, good, {#Prev}you're just in time for our set! Been working on a song called {#Emph}I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes then Drown You to Death), heh! {#Prev}Comes from a real personal place. Melinoe (Melinoe_1829): Is it any better than the one I heard on my way in? Scylla (Scylla_0015): No, it's {#Emph}not! {#Prev}Because {#Emph}all {#Prev}our songs are {#Emph}the best, heh! {#Prev}Each like a {#Emph}perfect {#Prev}little child! Not a {#Emph}bad {#Prev}one, like {#Emph}you... ScyllaAboutSongs02 Scylla (Scylla_0138): How did you like our latest song, lady? Be honest! There's no right {#Emph}or {#Prev}wrong answer, OK? We {#Emph}thrive {#Prev}on feedback from our fans! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2017): If you seek feedback from your fans, ask {#Emph}them. {#Prev}As for me, I felt the chorus was catchy enough, but the lyrics and their disturbing themes were rather distracting. Scylla (Scylla_0139): Disturbing? Distracting?! {#Emph}Compelling! That's {#Prev}what good music {#Emph}is{#Prev}. That's what Scylla and the Sirens {#Emph}are! {#Prev}As for our song, {#Emph}hee! {#Prev}You'll understand it better if you give it {#Emph}another {#Prev}listen... ScyllaAboutSongs03 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2564): Scylla, I've noticed your song {#Emph}I Am Gonna Claw {#Prev}may be inspired by true events. Is trying to drown me not sufficiently entertaining that I must also be the subject of your ridicule? Scylla (Scylla_0207): {#Emph}Oh, hoho {#Prev}how can you be so egotistical even? I had that song worked out since way before {#Emph}you {#Prev}showed up. Any and all similarity is entirely coincidence! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2565): Come on. Insulting my hair and attire? Making claims that I'm obsessed with you? But if I'm not the subject of the song, who was, pray tell? Scylla (Scylla_0208): No need to get personal, lady! If I go sharing {#Emph}every {#Prev}detail of my private life with every deranged fan who barges in here, then it wouldn't be a {#Emph}private {#Prev}life, {#Emph}would it? ScyllaAboutSongs04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_2562): Don't you have any new material yet, Scylla? You'd likely garner a much bigger audience if you had a few more songs. Scylla (Scylla_0205): Shut {#Emph}up! {#Prev}We have more songs than you can {#Emph}count! {#Prev}You're just not ready for them yet. {#Emph}Nobody {#Prev}is! {#Emph}Perfection {#Prev}takes time, {#Emph}lady. Melinoe (MelinoeField_2563): But, perfection is always out of reach... if you keep pursuing it, you'll never get there. You must have a work-in-progress you could play instead of the same old stuff. Scylla (Scylla_0206): {#Emph}The same old stuff...? {#Prev}Did you just hear that, gals? I think she meant to say your {#Emph}greatest hits{#Prev}, or your {#Emph}all-time classics{#Prev}, didn't she? {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}You just don't get it, lady. We're here to {#Emph}please! ScyllaAboutSongs05 Scylla (Scylla_0309): So, what's your favorite of our latest songs, lady? We've got something for just about {#Emph}everybody {#Prev}now! Even you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3587): Oh, I'm reluctant to choose. I think all these clashes with you lot must have had a significant impact on my ability to appreciate your music on its own merits. Scylla (Scylla_0310): {#Emph}Aw, that's {#Prev}too bad! If you can't appreciate art for its own sake and need to hold those of us who make it to outlandish standards, then {#Emph}what {#Prev}are you even {#Emph}doing?! ScyllaAboutSongVolume01 Scylla (Scylla_0211): I don't know what you did, lady, but lately, I can barely hear myself think... much less {#Emph}sing! {#Prev}I hate you, you {#Emph}witch! {#Prev}You {#Emph}better {#Prev}make it right! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2719): Or else what? I'll use what tactics I see fit. Not having to listen to you spout your nonsense makes it easier to send you back to the depths for the night. Scylla (Scylla_0212): You know you like our song. Can't live without it! And I will {#Emph}not {#Prev}be {#Emph}silenced! {#Prev}No matter what you do, I'll always be singing in {#Emph}my {#Prev}head, and {#Emph}yours! ScyllaAboutStage01 Scylla (Scylla_0016): Just can't get enough of us, {#Emph}can {#Prev}you, lady? Oh, it's OK, happens to everybody, especially sailors, we're just that {#Emph}good! {#Prev}Do you sail? Melinoe (Melinoe_2040): Your self-confidence is enviable, but I'm only here because I have to get past this ridiculous stage. So why don't we skip the show. Scylla (Scylla_0017): Oh I got a better idea: Why don't we {#Emph}start {#Prev}the show? All we needed was a little audience, and we've got {#Emph}you {#Prev}right where we want you. ScyllaAboutSurvey01 Scylla (Scylla_0021): Oh hey, as one of our fans, {#Emph}what {#Prev}would you say is the best thing about Scylla and the Sirens, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}Our latest hit song? Our impeccable style? Melinoe (Melinoe_2039): Your sense of style isn't really to my taste, that I can say for certain. Scylla (Scylla_0022): {#Emph}Aw, {#Prev}that's OK! Not everybody's got {#Emph}good taste{#Prev}. At least you're strong enough to admit it, though we're going to get you for that insult, anyway. ScyllaAboutThessaly01 Scylla (Scylla_0201): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, it's only {#Emph}you! {#Prev}Not just another one of those sailors we've been seeing more and more of lately here. Look at this {#Emph}crowd! {#Prev}We've been causing a {#Emph}real {#Prev}stir! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2560): Perhaps those sailors are just remnants of the sunken fleet that Chronos sends against the gods. I've had my scuffles with them recently. Scylla (Scylla_0202): Oh no, I don't think so, lady. Our fame is due to good old fashioned word-of-mouth! And there is {#Emph}nothing {#Prev}you can do to {#Emph}stop {#Prev}it now! ScyllaFirstMeeting Scylla (Scylla_0002): Ohh, {#Emph}hohoho{#Prev}, no way! {#Emph}No way. {#Prev}Lookit, gals, a {#Emph}lady! {#Prev}Ladies never come to see our shows, you must be different, what's your name? Oh, make yourself comfy, we're just about to start, aren't we, gals? Melinoe (Melinoe_0498): ...Sirens. I should have known you were the source of all that singing. Slinked down into the Underworld, have you? Scylla (Scylla_0003): It's the perfect pressure down here! Beats the pressure trying to make art while all our fans are watching, begging, {#Emph}Scylla, where's your next song?! Melinoe (Melinoe_0499): Don't you drown your so-called fans to death? Have you even got any left? Scylla (Scylla_0004): Don't {#Emph}ever {#Prev}say such things about our fans! {#Prev}Oh hey gals...? What say we give her the {#Emph}old song and dance? ScyllaLowHealth01 Scylla (Scylla_0028): Oh no, you're bleeding. Trouble finding the place? Don't worry, gals. One day? They'll put us up on the biggest stage, for {#Emph}all the world to see! Melinoe (Melinoe_2043): I'm not particularly interested in listening to your delusions of grandeur right now, so why not start your little song. Scylla (Scylla_0029): Oh, it may be a little song to you {#Emph}now{#Prev}, lady. But it's going to be huge someday. You'll see. We'll show her, won't we, gals? ScyllaLowHealth02 Scylla (Scylla_0030): Oh you know, this is a reputable venue, lady, and we {#Emph}do {#Prev}impose a dress code at the door, {#Emph}hm-hm! {#Prev}Oh, but you come barging in, looking like hell. Melinoe (Melinoe_2044): You sea-dwellers are not so welcoming to strangers in your habitat. Thus I'm a bit unkempt. And a bit low on patience... Scylla (Scylla_0031): Got that old sinking feeling, huh? Then let's not keep her waiting any longer, gals! {#Emph}Hit it! ScyllaLowHealth03 Scylla (Scylla_0032): The sea can be a dangerous place if you don't know your way around, lady! {#Emph}Ohoho! {#Prev}Though it looks like you figured that out all on your own! Melinoe (Melinoe_2045): Everything is damp, and reeks to the heavens. And now I'm forced to listen to {#Emph}your {#Prev}snide remarks. And your insufferable song, I suppose? Scylla (Scylla_0033): You're damn right! And we'll {#Emph}keep {#Prev}playing our song until it's {#Emph}pitch perfect{#Prev}. It's a work in progress. So don't hold your breath... ScyllaLowHealth04 Scylla (Scylla_0034): Aw lookit, gals, she's hurt! She's already hurt {#Emph}real bad{#Prev}. Maybe we could ease her passing with a little {#Emph}music{#Prev}, huh? Melinoe (Melinoe_2046): I assure you any pain I'm experiencing is nothing compared with the pain I'll inflict on {#Emph}you {#Prev}if you continue to cross me. Scylla (Scylla_0035): Still got some fight left in you, huh? Well good, 'cause we just hate a passive audience! Come on, get in the pit, lady! The show's about to start! ScyllaMiscStart01 Scylla (Scylla_0036): {#Emph}Lookit, gals! {#Prev}We've got ourselves a {#Emph}crowd! {#Prev}Oh, let's knock \n'em {#Emph}dead{#Prev}, what do you say? ScyllaMiscStart02 Scylla (Scylla_0037): All right. All right, gals, this is it, this is the big one! Our {#Emph}big break. {#Prev}Right here!! ScyllaMiscStart03 Scylla (Scylla_0038): {#Emph}Ooh{#Prev}, hey lady! We've been {#Emph}practicing! {#Prev}You want to hear our latest jam? ScyllaMiscStart04 Scylla (Scylla_0039): You {#Emph}love {#Prev}a good show, don't you, lady? And we {#Emph}love {#Prev}to satisfy our fans! Don't we, gals? ScyllaMiscStart05 Scylla (Scylla_0040): That's the power of our songs, gals! Once they {#Emph}hear {#Prev}'em, they can't tear themselves away...! ScyllaMiscStart06 Scylla (Scylla_0041): You just don't know when to {#Emph}quit{#Prev}, lady. Us neither! Hit it, gals! ScyllaMiscStart07 Scylla (Scylla_0042): See, gals? Oh, if it really wasn't working, she wouldn't keep coming back, would she? ScyllaMiscStart08 Scylla (Scylla_0043): We're still practicing our latest number, lady! So you're {#Emph}just in time. ScyllaMiscStart09 Scylla (Scylla_0044): Come make {#Emph}sweet music {#Prev}with us, lady! Sure beats whatever it is {#Emph}you {#Prev}do. ScyllaMiscStart10 Scylla (Scylla_0045): You should hear some of our {#Emph}classic {#Prev}numbers, {#Emph}haha! {#Prev}Oh but first: {#Emph}our latest hit... ScyllaMiscStart11 Scylla (Scylla_0046): {#Emph}Mm{#Prev}, don't normally play private events... but for you, lady? We'll do {#Emph}anything... ScyllaMiscStart12 Scylla (Scylla_0047): We'd like to dedicate this next song to {#Emph}all our fans! {#Prev}Especially {#Emph}you{#Prev}, lady. ScyllaMiscStart13 Scylla (Scylla_0048): Now, lady, let the music {#Emph}fill your soul{#Prev}, and the brine {#Emph}fill your lungs! ScyllaMiscStart14 Scylla (Scylla_0049): I'd like to introduce Jetty on strings, and Roxy on percussion. Ready, gals? ScyllaMiscStart15 Scylla (Scylla_0050): {#Emph}Hello, Oceanus!! {#Prev}Oh, how's everybody doing tonight? You ready for a {#Emph}show? ScyllaMiscStart16 Scylla (Scylla_0051): We love our fans! They just keep coming back, no matter what! ScyllaMiscStart17 Scylla (Scylla_0052): You got something to say, lady, you save it till after the show... ScyllaMiscStart18 Scylla (Scylla_0053): Oh don't take this personally, lady, but... we kinda got to drown our fans... ScyllaMiscStart19 Scylla (Scylla_0054): I'd love to drag you to the bottom of the sea... but we're already here. ScyllaMiscStart20 Scylla (Scylla_0055): I know it's dark down here, lady, so... just follow the {#Emph}sound of my voice... ScyllaMiscStart21 Scylla (Scylla_0420): {#Emph}Ooh{#Prev}, you {#Emph}know {#Prev}we're on a hot streak when our fans keep coming back! ScyllaMiscStart22 Scylla (Scylla_0422): Jetty, Roxy, and I, we're thinking maybe we'll try going solo after this! ScyllaMiscStart23 Scylla (Scylla_0422): Jetty, Roxy, and I, we're thinking maybe we'll try going solo after this! ScyllaMiscStart24 Scylla (Scylla_0425): Get off my {#Emph}stage{#Prev}, lady! You are not the star of this show, no matter {#Emph}what {#Prev}anybody thinks! ScyllaMiscStart25 Scylla (Scylla_0426): Remember, gals, practice makes perfect, right? So, let's take it from the {#Emph}top! Again! ScyllaMiscStart26 Scylla (Scylla_0427): I'm not listening to a word you say, lady! But {#Emph}you {#Prev}get to listen to {#Emph}us! ScyllaMiscStart27 Scylla (Scylla_0428): Can't get enough of Scylla and the Sirens, huh? Well {#Emph}you {#Prev}are {#Emph}not {#Prev}alone! ScyllaMiscStart28 Scylla (Scylla_0429): We've got a {#Emph}real {#Prev}crowd here tonight, but {#Emph}you {#Prev}get the {#Emph}best {#Prev}seat in the house! ScyllaMiscStart29 Scylla (Scylla_0430): You're not cut out to make it on this great big stage, lady! {#Emph}You'll see. ScyllaMiscStart30 Scylla (Scylla_0431): Our special guest made it {#Emph}all {#Prev}the way down from the surface, just to see {#Emph}you! ScyllaMiscStart31 Scylla (Scylla_0432): {#Emph}Ohh{#Prev}, the crowd is gonna {#Emph}love {#Prev}this! We wouldn't be here if not for {#Emph}you{#Prev}, lady! ScyllaMiscStart32 Scylla (Scylla_0433): Why don't you go and give our guest Charybdis a {#Emph}big {#Prev}hug to say hello?! ScyllaMiscStart33 Scylla (Scylla_0446): Well, if it isn't our number one {#Emph}obsessive {#Prev}fan, come to spoil the show like always! ScyllaMiscStart34 Scylla (Scylla_0447): Looks like we got a {#Emph}heckler{#Prev}, gals! Where's our security? {#Emph}Oh! {#Prev}It's {#Emph}right here... ScyllaMiscStart35 Scylla (Scylla_0448): Every time you show your face around here, lady, you sink to a new low! ScyllaMiscStart36 Scylla (Scylla_0450): We figured we'd open with our first big hit tonight! What do you say, lady? ScyllaMiscStartWonAgainstHer01 Scylla (Scylla_0056): Our big break's just around the corner, gals! So don't blow it now! ScyllaMiscStartWonAgainstHer02 Scylla (Scylla_0057): Now, pull yourselves together and don't screw it up like {#Emph}last time! {#Prev}OK, gals? ScyllaMiscStartWonAgainstHer03 Scylla (Scylla_0421): Don't muck it up for us again, Roxy, {#Emph}OK? {#Prev}Now count us in, dammit! ScyllaMiscStartWonAgainstHer04 Scylla (Scylla_0423): Aren't Jetty and Roxy {#Emph}just {#Prev}the best? I'd like them even more if they could {#Emph}do {#Prev}something for once! ScyllaMiscStartWonAgainstHer05 Scylla (Scylla_0424): Tough crowd tonight! But if they can't appreciate our artistry, we'll {#Emph}make {#Prev}'em! ScyllaMiscStartWonAgainstHer06 Scylla (Scylla_0449): This is {#Emph}my {#Prev}stage, and this is {#Emph}my {#Prev}show, and you are {#Emph}not {#Prev}going to ruin it {#Emph}again! ScyllaNoHitMatch01 Scylla (Scylla_0326): We didn't get even a little {#Emph}nibble {#Prev}on you last you showed your face here, lady. I've been trying to console Roxy ever since! But it's no {#Emph}use! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3597): Perhaps if Roxy learned some new percussive patterns she'd have an easier time hitting me against my will. Scylla (Scylla_0327): Sure, try and tear us down all you like. But we're just gonna build back up, {#Emph}stronger than ever! {#Prev}And {#Emph}then! {#Prev}We'll bite your head clean off. ScyllaPostTrueEnding01 Scylla (Scylla_0342): Hey... maybe {#Emph}you {#Prev}know, lady! What happened to Mister Chronos? Lately he stopped answering our calls, {#Emph}heh. {#Prev}He's probably just taking a little break! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4122): You could say that. Lord Hades has returned as rightful ruler of the Underworld, which means Chronos now can attend to other matters. He'll likely get back to you. Scylla (Scylla_0343): What are you, his {#Emph}personal assistant? Of course {#Prev}he's getting back to us! And if he's paying no attention to what happens in our venue in the meantime, {#Emph}even better. ScyllaPostTrueEnding02 Scylla (Scylla_0443): Still haven't heard from Mister Chronos lately. Have you seen him anywhere, lady? Because his sponsorship seems to have fizzled out... good thing we {#Emph}do {#Prev}have others. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4314): Lately Chronos has been over at the Isles of the Blessed. Off doing other things, like perhaps you should be. Who else is underwriting these performances of yours? Scylla (Scylla_0444): Nobody you'd know, I'm sure! And what with all the changes lately, this venue isn't taking on new acts. You're stuck with only {#Emph}me, forever! {#Prev}Me and the gals. ScyllaQuickMatch01 Scylla (Scylla_0323): Last time you crashed our show so fast the crowd was left {#Emph}pretty upset{#Prev}, lady! They {#Emph}hardly {#Prev}got to hear our {#Emph}song! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3596): Your concert would perhaps get a more rousing response if you let me pass. Otherwise it's liable to end abruptly again. Scylla (Scylla_0324): {#Emph}Ohoho{#Prev}, you don't know the {#Emph}first {#Prev}thing about theatrics! We want our crowd to experience a {#Emph}full {#Prev}range of emotions! So if that means {#Emph}occasional crushing disappointment{#Prev}, so be it...! ScyllaQuickMatch02 Scylla (Scylla_0325): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}we won't let you make short work of us again, lady! So why don't you take your {#Emph}time! {#Prev}Bask in the atmosphere while we {#Emph}drown you in it!! SecretDoor.DistanceTrigger.VoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_0773): Some sort of gateway on the ground...! Melinoe (MelinoeField_2868): A Chaos Gate, up here? SeleneAboutAllSelene01 Selene (Selene_0484): You bear my Aspect, my Arcana, and my Moon Beam all at once? {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, little star, you are yourself and need not seek to be like me. Although, perhaps my steeds would welcome a new rider at some point. SeleneAboutAltFightQuest01 Selene (Selene_0352): Upon the Oath of the Unseen is one Vow that may rise above the rest. It is my charge as Eye of Night to bear it witness, should you choose to speak this Vow of Rivals. Discover the extent of it, and overcome your strongest foes. SeleneAboutAltFightQuest02 Selene (Selene_0353): I heard you speak the Vow of Rivals at the Oath of the Unseen. Then you shall soon confront your Headmistress in all her dark glory; how she longed that you would gain the strength to face her thus. SeleneAboutAltFightQuest03 Selene (Selene_0354): You have surpassed each of the two initial obstacles posed by the Vow of Rivals, thus have gained insight with which you may induce still-greater Fear using this Vow. I shall be watching, for you are prepared. SeleneAboutAltFightQuest04 Selene (Selene_0355): The second Guardians that bar your passage fell to you despite the Vow of Rivals granting them the strength of Night herself. But be forewarned: The Vow's effect shall grow more trying from here on. SeleneAboutAltFightQuest05 Selene (Selene_0356): You vanquished Cerberus the hound of hell as well as the Titan of Foresight and his ally, in spite of how the Vow of Rivals filled them with such might. I fear, however, that the Vow's full power shall be near-impossible to overcome... SeleneAboutAltFightQuest06 Selene (Selene_0357): I never thought I would pay witness to what you achieved using the Oath of the Unseen. The Titan Chronos and monstrous Typhon, each laid low, your rivals all surpassed. {#Emph}You {#Prev}are the terror in the Night, not they. SeleneAboutAltFightQuestL01 Selene (Selene_0358): The Oath of the Unseen compels you to exceed your limitations, but do not give in to the temptation to spread greater Fear than you are able to withstand. The Vow of Rivals is about not merely strength, but perseverance. SeleneAboutAphrodite01 Selene (Selene_0091): I watched the goddess Aphrodite seek you out. From her I learned a bit of how to influence the heart. But only when my strength is at its peak, and even then, I fear I pale in comparison. SeleneAboutApollo01 Selene (Selene_0088): I see you shine already with another light. The god Apollo's doing, I should think. Fear not; his power is compatible with mine. Light envelops light, never rejecting. SeleneAboutArcana01 Selene (Selene_0483): I sense the influence on you of the Arcana for which I am personally known. Then let the magick course through you, and may whichever Hex you manifest lead you to glory. SeleneAboutAres01 Selene (Selene_0349): The god of war decided that his intervention is required, and has granted you some of his violent strength. It may seem difficult to trust in Ares, but his motivations I have found to be quite clear. SeleneAboutAxe01 Selene (Selene_0227): You wield the Moonstone Axe, whose broad blade shimmers with my light. Then you must hear the song it sings. Such strength, combined with yours. SeleneAboutBountyBoard01 Selene (Selene_0224): I felt a weight drawing me toward the Crossroads recently, and realized it was the Pitch-Black Stone. So then it has awakened... almost like an Eye itself, but far older than mine, and peering from the infinite abyss. SeleneAboutBountyBoard01_B Selene (Selene_0224): I felt a weight drawing me toward the Crossroads recently, and realized it was the Pitch-Black Stone. So then it has awakened... almost like an Eye itself, but far older than mine, and peering from the infinite abyss. SeleneAboutCardUpgradePoints01 Selene (Selene_0477): You have become proficient in concocting Moon Dust in your cauldron, little star. I would relinquish so much more to you, but it would be to no avail without your particular intent. SeleneAboutChaos01 Selene (Selene_0223): You bear the mark of Chaos, little star. The most ancient being in existence lost a child to our common foe. Thus, the great creator becomes the great destroyer, through you. SeleneAboutChronos01 Selene (Selene_0156): The Titan Chronos, he is Time itself. Thus by his nature, we can never be entirely prepared for him. He seeks the downfall of Olympus, but how exactly, we still do not know. SeleneAboutChronosBossL01 Selene (Selene_0175): You have descended into Tartarus, and must have seen what Chronos made of that most-sacred place. I know your confrontation did not go as you desired, but this is a new night. And you are all the more prepared. SeleneAboutCirce01 Selene (Selene_0351): Long has the enchantress Circe understood that I do more than merely ride across the sky. She practices her incantations in accordance with the phases of my light; you can depend upon the power she bestows. SeleneAboutDagger01 Selene (Selene_0226): I see often the gleaming Sister Blades within your grasp. I knew eventually that they would reawaken and accept you as their bearer. May their swiftness overwhelm your foes. SeleneAboutDarkness01 Selene (Selene_0080): So many mortals fear the onset of the dark, but we? The dark is merely where we ply our trade. Come forth, then, little star, and let us shine together in the darkness now. SeleneAboutDemeter01 Selene (Selene_0094): At last you met the goddess of seasons, whose great power often shapes the course of my night's ride. In Demeter, you have a fierce supporter, I can tell. SeleneAboutEos01 Selene (Selene_0104): Perhaps some morning on the surface you shall finally see Eos, little star. She is quite beautiful, so much that mortals now admire her. But I have never known her very well. She makes her brief appearances, then she is gone. SeleneAboutEosAspect01 Selene (Selene_0219): You bear the Flames of Ygnium, but in the guise of Eos. My sister, in her youthful ignorance, knows nothing about this. May she enjoy her morning rides until a distant age. SeleneAboutErebus01 Selene (Selene_0096): To have lived all your life in misty Erebus... the world is so much vaster than that place. You shall see much more of it, I think, ere your task is complete. SeleneAboutEris01 Selene (Selene_0176): Black-winged Eris has become an obstacle; she sometimes flies across my path, thus startling my steeds. I am the Eye of Night yet cannot see much worth in her at all... SeleneAboutEris02 Selene (Selene_0464): I had my doubts concerning your companionship with Eris, though now realize that you must see something in her, which even I cannot. You are most patient to accept one such as she. SeleneAboutFates01 Selene (Selene_0172): I know through your Headmistress of your vision in which Chronos found and captured the Three Fates. This must have been a key component of his plan... but, it does {#Emph}not {#Prev}change ours. The Silver Sisters never cede control. SeleneAboutFields01 Selene (Selene_0171): None of my light pierces this dismal region normally, but for you, little star? I shall not hesitate to pierce the heavens and the earth alike. Together, let us strive for victory. SeleneAboutGoodChronos01 Selene (Selene_0366): I harbored such hatred for the Titan Chronos, for all that he had done; for all he put you through. Yet now he himself is working to undo the harm he caused? Such power you possess, to have brought about such change. SeleneAboutHecate01 Selene (Selene_0062): Your Headmistress and I have worked together ever since Mother Nyx asked we watch over our domains, while she kept watch over the Underworld. Two Titanesses, bound by Night. SeleneAboutHecate02 Selene (Selene_0063): Little star, you grow in strength and knowledge rapidly. How proud your Headmistress must be that you are able to surpass her finally. Yet, we know the burden that you bear. SeleneAboutHecate03 Selene (Selene_0064): Of late, your Headmistress asked me, do not your rides across the sky become monotonous? I was amused to hear her jest. Each night is like none other I have known. SeleneAboutHelios01 Selene (Selene_0103): Nyx spoke highly of your brother to me, little star. I too am distant from my brother Helios, the Sun. Sometimes I slow my steeds to catch a glimpse of him as he engulfs the surface. I do not think we would have much to talk about. SeleneAboutHephaestus01 Selene (Selene_0157): A Boon from Master Blacksmith Hephaestus is prized by warriors all the world over. To you he gives it readily, knowing Olympians alone cannot stop what has begun. SeleneAboutHera01 Selene (Selene_0092): It is uncommon to have earned Queen Hera's Boon. She would confide in me sometimes while she would bathe. She has been more guarded as of late... as have we all. SeleneAboutHeracles01 Selene (Selene_0113): I saw that you encountered Heracles. Beware that man, who has made many enemies in service to the gods. He even wronged me once, and still walks brazenly as ever in my light. SeleneAboutHeracles02 Selene (Selene_0462): The lion pelt now worn by Heracles, he took it from a creature dear to me. I hated him, though he was acting at the behest of the gods, who sought to see him prove his fealty. I have since learned to leave my anger far behind. SeleneAboutHermes01 Selene (Selene_0095): There is one god whose swiftness far surpasses any steed's. And he has granted some of it to you, I see. I caution you to not make {#Emph}too {#Prev}much haste. Steadfastness is the key to victory. SeleneAboutHermesMission01 Selene (Selene_0159): We have heard nothing from fleet-footed Hermes since he told us of our enemy's advance. Thus we strike, yet hold to faith that some night hence he shall return to us with news about what else the Titan Chronos has in store. SeleneAboutHermesMission02 Selene (Selene_0163): I held to faith your task would not require you above, only below. But Hermes indicates the threat here on the surface now looms larger than we thought. Rise to us, then; whenever Time permits. SeleneAboutHestia01 Selene (Selene_0093): The fire-goddess Hestia always proved difficult to track, and yet she willingly revealed herself to you? Either your reputation grows, or does the desperation of the gods. SeleneAboutHexes01 Selene (Selene_0216): My innumerable journeys through the sky provided me with ample time to understand my light. By now, I have a Hex for each occasion, every phase. And you shall have them, too. SeleneAboutHexes02 Selene (Selene_0231): You have grown quite familiar with my Hexes, little star. By now you must have a particular favorite or two. Perhaps you shall continue to discover new dimensions in them all. SeleneAboutHiddenAspect01 Selene (Selene_0335): You bear the Aspect I revealed to you before. I know little of this Shiva save their reputation as destroyer of all things. Perhaps the Black Coat partly is responsible, though that is for you to discover now. SeleneAboutHiddenAspectProgress01 Selene (Selene_0334): Have you yet spoken to the Silver Pool the waking-phrase I shared with you before? Take the words to heart: {#Emph}I see you bring bliss and destruction in your outstretched arms. SeleneAboutHiddenAspects01 Selene (Selene_0345): The hidden Aspects of the Arms of Night... I understand they come from distant gods and goddesses of darkness... all obscure, some likely bearers yet-to-be. Perhaps there is an even deeper pattern that they share... SeleneAboutHypnos01 Selene (Selene_0101): I remain troubled by the ever-sleeping son of Nyx, there in your Crossroads. Neither your Headmistress nor I have thus been able to awaken him. But every ailment must have a remedy... SeleneAboutHypnosWakeUp01 Selene (Selene_0465): You have grown in experience so much using your craft that you managed even to rouse ever-sleeping Hypnos from his dreams? Mother Nyx has notified me that he is now back at his post, though with considerable make-up work... SeleneAboutIcarus01 Selene (Selene_0459): How unusual to see the wings of Icarus soaring across the sky. I recall how you encouraged him to overcome his apprehensions and take flight. I shall be watching to ensure he stays aloft. SeleneAboutKeepsake01 Selene (Selene_0155): My Moon Beams are as innumerable as the stars, and you possess but one; but it is one I chose especially for you, and shall ensure that our connection remains strong. SeleneAboutKeepsake02 Selene (Selene_0331): So long as you have my Moon Beam, I may locate you as swiftly as I can; and from that point, the night shall be ours. Choose now the means by which you shall prevail. SeleneAboutKeepsake03 Selene (Selene_0332): You bear the solitary Moon Beam that I gave you as a token of our bond and combined strength. Soon you shall shine as I do, and your enemies shall have nowhere to hide. SeleneAboutKeepsake04 Selene (Selene_0340): That Moon Beam of yours has grown exceptionally bright within your care. It shall illuminate your path forevermore; its power, at its peak. And whenever you have need of me, I shall be there. SeleneAboutLob01 Selene (Selene_0229): You now possess the Argent Skull Revaal... an everlasting reminder that Death and Fear ought always to be allies in our cause. Woe unto whomever meets her gaze. SeleneAboutLunarCycle01 Selene (Selene_0077): We breathe, we bleed, we rest, we start anew. Did we create this cycle, or are we merely part of it? Sometimes I ask myself this question while I ride. SeleneAboutLunarCycle02 Selene (Selene_0078): Let us begin another cycle, little star. Each has its unexpected qualities, but in the greater pattern lies a certain pleasure, does it not? SeleneAboutMagick01 Selene (Selene_0079): Remember, little star: The magick that my light awakes in you requires active focus on your part; it has no power without your intent. In moments when you need it, do not hesitate. SeleneAboutMagick02 Selene (Selene_0055): This gift of magick does not come from me, but from within. Yet, it is also true my luminance awakens innate possibility. An ill-kept secret even mortals of the surface know. SeleneAboutMedea01 Selene (Selene_0330): The witch Medea learned to blot out my light, creating an eclipse whenever she required. We had a conversation after that, and all is well between us ever since. Between her curses and my Hexes, you shall be feared. SeleneAboutMission01 Selene (Selene_0161): Our charge as Silver Sisters is to work in shadow to uphold the will of Night. Olympus remains unaware of us; that their own Goddess of the Hunt is one of us; that their own Messenger serves us as well. Let us keep it this way. SeleneAboutMoros01 Selene (Selene_0458): You have conversed more and more frequently with Doom himself; a son of Nyx with whom I am not close. I shall rely upon your instincts about him, for mine say little as of yet. SeleneAboutMortals01 Selene (Selene_0482): Mortals often look upon us either with great reverence or fear; and thus they tell each other tales, making us out to be more than we are, or less. I have ceased blaming them, for what else are they to do? SeleneAboutNemesis01 Selene (Selene_0100): Here in the sky, I am immune to earthly troubles, such as having to share living space with the goddess of retribution. Nemesis never treated me as a sister. She inherited only her mother's strength. SeleneAboutNemesis02 Selene (Selene_0460): You have made peace with Nemesis, and more; perhaps beneath the surface she is not the goddess she has always seemed. If you deem her worthy, little star, that is enough. SeleneAboutNewMoon01 Selene (Selene_0232): I am entirely enshrouded now; a new moon, for a new beginning. Use my cover of darkness to advance toward your goals. SeleneAboutNyx01 Selene (Selene_0056): You have no memory of Nyx? It was the Night herself who found me, discarded and unwanted, and raised me from my youth. But when the Titan Chronos took the House of Hades, she was there. I miss her still. SeleneAboutNyx02 Selene (Selene_0057): On nights as dark as this I think only of Nyx. She ruled the Underworld within your father's House. And she cared for me, among so many others. She knew I sought the heavens. {#Emph}Go{#Prev}, she said. {#Emph}And please keep watch for me up there. SeleneAboutNyx03 Selene (Selene_0058): Mother Nyx, in all her grace, began referring to me as the Eye of Night, for I could see even where she could not. This honor spurs me even now, just as I spur my steeds. We shall avenge her, little star. SeleneAboutNyx03_B Selene (Selene_0058_B): Mother Nyx, in all her grace, began referring to me as the Eye of Night, for I could see even where she could not. This honor spurs me even now, just as I spur my steeds. SeleneAboutNyxAspect01 Selene (Selene_0339): The Black Coat's Aspect of Mother Nyx... I knew that she once wielded Xinth herself but never witnessed it, for she could bend even {#Emph}my {#Prev}light aside. Such an honor that her Aspect has revealed itself to you. SeleneAboutNyxReturn01 Selene (Selene_0368): Nyx is finally returned to us, and perhaps in time, you may come to know her as do I. Although her influence never faded, I missed her wisdom and her presence very much. And have you to thank for our reunion. SeleneAboutObscurity01 Selene (Selene_0347): Artemis revealed to Olympus what they need to know of you, and now is ranging through your woods. After our troubles have subsided, may all we Silver Sisters rejoice. SeleneAboutOceanus01 Selene (Selene_0110): I found you, though my light is but a flicker at these depths. You trace the secret path between Poseidon's and your father's realms. What lurks here has no love for either one. SeleneAboutOdysseus01 Selene (Selene_0073): You are fortunate to learn from the wanderer Odysseus. I used to follow all his mortal struggles, from his warring to his voyages. Some of the tales about him are embellished, but not all. He is an interesting man. SeleneAboutOlympus01 Selene (Selene_0076): If the might of Olympus were sufficient, the gods would have already put an end to their predicament. Time itself is against us, yet this is precisely the time for which we Silver Sisters have prepared. SeleneAboutOlympus02 Selene (Selene_0059): Olympus has no sense of my true strength, or yours. But it is just as well. We are most powerful when we remain obscure; when we are underestimated. Would you not agree? SeleneAboutPackageBounty02 Selene (Selene_0218): I sense that something is amiss tonight... as though I did not find you by my will. The Pitch-Black Stone... I see, of course. It is a weight on everything that we perceive. SeleneAboutPersephone01 Selene (Selene_0074): We shall see to it that the rightful Queen and King of the Underworld retake their throne. Your father I knew only from Nyx's account, though I would see your mother when she visited Olympus. You have her regal bearing, little star. SeleneAboutPhases01 Selene (Selene_0082): The great night sky affords an advantageous vantage-point, and I see your struggles plain. Know that the hardship you endure is but a phase. Seek pleasure in the rhythm of it all. SeleneAboutPhases02 Selene (Selene_0485): Each of us undergoes different phases throughout our lives. I but go through phases far more regularly, and more often than do most... for I have always valued constancy, in an existence whose sole constancy is change. SeleneAboutPolyphemus01 Selene (Selene_0099): The Cyclops Polyphemus, whom you faced, once hid within a cavern not even {#Emph}my {#Prev}silver light could reach. Now he has taken sides with Chronos. Too many rise against the gods... SeleneAboutPolyphemus02 Selene (Selene_0461): How strange to see ungainly Polyphemus and Medea work together, even if the Vow of Rivals was the cause. Though stranger is how that Cyclops is the second shepherd I have known with a propensity for lengthy sleeping spells... SeleneAboutPoseidon01 Selene (Selene_0090): The sea-god's strength already flows through you? Poseidon holds that he alone controls the tides. For this I cannot blame him. He does not know or understand my influence. SeleneAboutPrometheus01 Selene (Selene_0321): The Titans never stood together even when the gods and Chronos first fought long ago. Prometheus... he stood with Zeus back then, but now? His purposes are crossed with ours. Another enemy of my own kind... SeleneAboutPrometheus02 Selene (Selene_0344): The Titans Chronos and Prometheus have forged an alliance, yet are not so much alike. Prometheus longs for a world in which mortals do not answer to gods? He of all beings must know that shall never come to pass. SeleneAboutPrometheus03 Selene (Selene_0463): The Titan of Foresight is conspiring with Heracles. Perhaps their love of mortalkind unites them; that or their relation to the gods. I felt they could have been each other's rivals, not your own. SeleneAboutRandomBounties01 Selene (Selene_0476): I sense the greater influence of Chaos on this night, and thus the journey to your destination may take unexpected turns. May my light still be of guidance even now. SeleneAboutSayingLittle01 Selene (Selene_0479): Our faith in one another needs no words. As we have gone through many phases thus, it is my preference to say little when we meet, and let the quiet of the night take hold. SeleneAboutSeleneAspect01 Selene (Selene_0336): Behold the Aspect of Xinth that I once wielded, little star; perhaps shall wield again some other age. Back then my light was widely feared, until a subtler approach worked best for me. But you need not hold back. SeleneAboutSeleneAspect02 Selene (Selene_0337): As bearer of my Aspect of the Black Coat, you instinctively know how to use the Sky Fall Hex; a hidden strength of mine, whose light you may reshape each evening through the Path of Stars. SeleneAboutSeleneAspect03 Selene (Selene_0338): How my Aspect of the Black Coat shines, for I can see it has achieved the apex of its power in your care. Such destruction it can sow that I yet have a certain fear of it myself. SeleneAboutShrine01 Selene (Selene_0169): At last you looked upon the Oath of the Unseen... for this night is beyond compare with any I experienced in an age. It is as though Darkness suffuses {#Emph}everything... SeleneAboutShrine02 Selene (Selene_0359): You may enact the Testament of Night this eve, as difficult as it may be to overcome the growing Fear that spreads with each and every uttered Vow. I shall be your witness. SeleneAboutShrine03 Selene (Selene_0360): This night has grown particularly dark, and Fear has spread to every recess of the realms; your doing through the Oath, is that not so? Then do be careful, little star, for none can save you from the choices that you make. SeleneAboutShrineComplete01 Selene (Selene_0361): At first, I felt my senses had deceived me, but I grow more certain with each passing eve... you have enacted all the Testaments within the Oath...! And thus for now, the will of Night is truly done. I am in awe of your resilience. SeleneAboutSilverSisters01 Selene (Selene_0348): Nothing escapes the notice of the Silver Sisters: I, in the heavens; the goddess of the hunt, on the surface; you, beneath the earth; and the Witch of the Crossroads, between realms. Now we no longer merely observe, but act. SeleneAboutSpeech01 Selene (Selene_0221): All beings struggle to communicate. I learnt from Nyx how to express myself, as you, from your Headmistress. Our speech is rooted in the past; our connections, tenuous. SeleneAboutSteeds01 Selene (Selene_0075): Whenever you invoke me thus, I urge my steeds toward the earth, as far as they dare tread. They are becoming braver, I should think. Now please use well the power I reveal in you. SeleneAboutSteeds02 Selene (Selene_0081): My ride across the sky tends to be quite a solitary one. I have my steeds to speak to, yes. But it is not the same as when I have the opportunity to speak with you. SeleneAboutSteeds03 Selene (Selene_0086): It has been too long since I saw you last. My steeds had grown rather exhausted from our rides. Where would I be if not for them? Closer to you, yes, but... this is where we belong. SeleneAboutSuit01 Selene (Selene_0318): The Black Coat... Night's veil and final defense, now yours. You bear a grave responsibility to wield it properly... or unleash such destruction as can blot out the Sun. SeleneAboutSurface01 Selene (Selene_0097): I welcome you to our world's surface, little star. I knew you would discover your way here. If you feel lost, you need but look to me. And I shall always be watching. SeleneAboutSurface01_B Selene (Selene_0167): I ought to welcome you more formally to our world's surface, little star. Part of me knew you would discover your way here. If you feel lost, you need but look aloft. SeleneAboutSurface02 Selene (Selene_0098): The city of Ephyra has seen so much strife. If only you could have witnessed it when its people still worshiped your mother and father. We shall avenge them all. SeleneAboutSurface03 Selene (Selene_0220): Here my light yields no greater strength than you experience below, for I give all I safely can wherever you reside. To be dependable and constant is my charge. SeleneAboutSurfaceCurse01 Selene (Selene_0164): You are not meant to be here, little star. Your cursed blood shall fight your every step. Yet Nyx herself would understand the struggle that you face. She too once thwarted what the Fates foretold... SeleneAboutSurfaceCurse02 Selene (Selene_0166): I feel you closer to my light. You suppressed that Fate-wrought curse that binds you to your realm. I was uncertain such a thing was possible... yet you surprise me fairly often, little star. SeleneAboutSurfaceWar01 Selene (Selene_0160): We need you where you are. Your battles through the Underworld are consequential to the war that rages here. But leave the surface to the gods, and me. Do not become distracted by the sealed Crossroads gateway leading up. SeleneAboutSurfaceWards01 Selene (Selene_0165): You dispelled the Crossroads surface gateway wards... traversed the veil between the world you know and this one that I look upon each night. Perhaps our plan required this new phase... SeleneAboutSwitchToSurface01 Selene (Selene_0230): Chronos can wait, for he is Time itself. You turn your energies instead toward his armies on the surface, and can slow him down that way. Growing stronger all the while. SeleneAboutSwitchToSurface02 Selene (Selene_0469): I have grown so accustomed to locating you within the Underworld that I am still surprised at times to find you aboveground. This is easier for me, yet more difficult for you, is it not? SeleneAboutSwitchToUnderworld01 Selene (Selene_0470): At last you returned to the realm of shadow after many nights under the naked stars. For what must be done, better for you to be in your element than for me to be in mine. SeleneAboutTalentDrop01 Selene (Selene_0168): You have seen the Path of Stars, and experienced its connection to my strength and yours. Though our Paths may diverge at times, they often lead us to a single point. SeleneAboutTask01 Selene (Selene_0053): I regret our meetings are in haste, and that we are unable to converse when thus we meet. I am expected high aloft for all to see. Our connection is to remain as hidden as the Crossroads. We are to move in shadows. SeleneAboutThessaly01 Selene (Selene_0170): From your perspective, those waters must appear to have no end. But they {#Emph}do {#Prev}end, and you have means to quickly cut across. I shall watch you sail on and help you make haste. SeleneAboutTorch01 Selene (Selene_0228): The Umbral Flames suit you quite well... so much akin to the twin torches of your Headmistress, however old they are. In any form, a guiding light is welcome company. SeleneAboutTyphon01 Selene (Selene_0322): That foolish Titan. He has awakened Typhon, the most terrible monstrosity that ever lived. I still bear my scars from when we first clashed very long ago. Together, we did vanquish him before; we shall have to manage it again. SeleneAboutTyphon02 Selene (Selene_0341): The monster Typhon, he has known defeat before. He has since grown in size, and strength, and fury, yet I hold to every faith you shall emerge victorious against him, little star. SeleneAboutTyphonW01 Selene (Selene_0342): Not even a monstrosity such as Typhon could resist you, little star. Your Headmistress and I always knew of your potential. Now, I have witnessed you live up to it, and more. SeleneAboutTyphonW02 Selene (Selene_0343): By now, that monster Typhon must remember the bitter taste of defeat, yet he does not relent. Thus he has left us with no choice but to pursue the means of his annihilation, little star. SeleneAboutWinStreak01 Selene (Selene_0475): Night after night, your victories have mounted, and I should like to see you earn another soon enough. Perhaps with my light you can readily ensure the outcome we desire. SeleneAboutZeus01 Selene (Selene_0350): The great King of the Olympians bestowed on you some of his thunderous strength. It ought to be more than sufficient on its own, but let us not leave anything to chance. SeleneBackstory01 Selene (Selene_0215): Long have I been the Eye of Night, watching you grow and train in secrecy; knowing that upon some evening such as this, we Silver Sisters would make our stand. Shall we go? SeleneChat01 Selene (Selene_0004): May my light guide you on, and blind your enemies. SeleneChat02 Selene (Selene_0005): I shine only for you now, little star. SeleneChat03 Selene (Selene_0006): Together, little star, we shall always shine. SeleneChat04 Selene (Selene_0007): Until the Silver Sisters can lay down their arms. SeleneChat05 Selene (Selene_0008): I hear your call and bring my luminance. SeleneChat06 Selene (Selene_0009): I am the Eye of Night, and shall watch over you. SeleneChat07 Selene (Selene_0010): I have descended, and my light again is yours. SeleneChat08 Selene (Selene_0011): My light is at full strength, and yours to do with as you please. SeleneChat09 Selene (Selene_0012): Though my light wanes for now, I have enough to spare. SeleneChat10 Selene (Selene_0013): My steeds were more than happy for this moment's rest. SeleneChat11 Selene (Selene_0014): You have such hidden strength, so clear to me... SeleneChat12 Selene (Selene_0015): The night is clear, my steeds are fresh; our power, unsurpassed. SeleneChat13 Selene (Selene_0016): The night is dark; my steeds require rest. But I shall spare what power I yet have. SeleneChat14 Selene (Selene_0017): My light is waning presently, although I always have some in reserve for you. SeleneChat15 Selene (Selene_0018): As we are Silver Sisters, all my strength is yours. SeleneChat16 Selene (Selene_0019): Take now my luminance, and shine as brightly as do I. SeleneChat17 Selene (Selene_0039): My steeds are fresh, my strength is at its peak. And presently, so too shall be your own. SeleneChat18 Selene (Selene_0020): To struggle is a phase; we ride it out as though it were the sky. SeleneChat19 Selene (Selene_0021): A new night sky affords a new beginning, does it not? SeleneChat20 Selene (Selene_0022): You called to me, and now my brilliance is yours. SeleneChat21 Selene (Selene_0023): The dark of night envelops us; let us expel our light. SeleneChat22 Selene (Selene_0024): My silver light is yours again to wield as you wish. SeleneChat23 Selene (Selene_0025): Within my brilliance, may all of your intentions be concealed. SeleneChat24 Selene (Selene_0026): Once more we meet in secret in the dead of night. SeleneChat25 Selene (Selene_0027): Oh, how your silver shines when bathed within my light. SeleneChat26 Selene (Selene_0028): Ours is a never-ending cycle, Sister, is it not? SeleneChat27 Selene (Selene_0029): It pleases me whenever you have opportunity to call. SeleneChat28 Selene (Selene_0031): Our enemy resides in darkness, but he cannot hide from us. SeleneChat29 Selene (Selene_0032): It seems you need my power more than I do, little star. SeleneChat30 Selene (Selene_0033): I see you, little star, and I am here for you whenever you require. SeleneChat31 Selene (Selene_0034): I do not need my luminance to see that your Headmistress trained you well. SeleneChat32 Selene (Selene_0035): Patience and relentlessness, Sister. Now, here. SeleneChat33 Selene (Selene_0036): As I am full, I almost feel a tinge of pity for our enemies... SeleneChat34 Selene (Selene_0037): Let us begin this phase of our collaboration, little star. SeleneChat35 Selene (Selene_0038): The night grows dark again, though you possess what light I now can offer. SeleneChat36 Selene (Selene_0040): Even in darkest Erebus, I hear and see you, little star. SeleneChat37 Selene (Selene_0041): Light such as mine may cut straight through the surface, down to you. SeleneChat38 Selene (Selene_0042): The city of Ephyra welcomes your return, such as it can. SeleneChat39 Selene (Selene_0043): I always shall illuminate your journey to the mountain of the gods. SeleneChat40 Selene (Selene_0478): Hail, fellow Silver Sister, and behold again my guiding light. SeleneChat41 Selene (Selene_0491): All that transpires, we observe. SeleneChat42 Selene (Selene_0492): We are most powerful when we remain obscure. SeleneChat43 Selene (Selene_0493): Whenever you have need of me, I shall be there. SeleneChat44 Selene (Selene_0494): Let us shine together, now and always. SeleneChat45 Selene (Selene_0495): To be dependable and constant is my charge. SeleneChat46 Selene (Selene_0496): The Silver Sisters never cede control. SeleneChat47 Selene (Selene_0497): Together let us strive for victory. SeleneChat48 Selene (Selene_0498): We breathe, we bleed, we rest, we start anew. SeleneChat49 Selene (Selene_0499): Our light never goes out; a new moon always rises. SeleneChat50 Selene (Selene_0500): Each night is like none other I have known. SeleneChat51 Selene (Selene_0490): Steadfastness is the key to victory. SeleneFirstPickUp Melinoe (MelinoeField_1934): She's deviated from her path... \n\n {#Emph}Great Titaness, the Eye of Night, \n {#Emph}I draw you down; lend me your might! Selene (Selene_0158): Good evening to you, little star. Our cycles now are intertwined, as I no longer can afford merely to watch. Whichever threat we face, I vow to shine for you. SeleneGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0484): Selene, I now send to you the Nectar of the gods, that it may warm your passage 'cross the sky! Selene (Selene_0066): But, little star, you offer this to me? The connection that we share as Silver Sisters is already more than I can ask. Now be that as it may, {#Emph}I {#Prev}have something for {#Emph}you. SeleneGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0485): To you, Selene! I never feel lost knowing the Moon herself is there to help me find my path. Selene (Selene_0067): You are most kind to honor me this way. It doubtless shall sustain my steeds and me on long nights such as these. You have our thanks. SeleneGift03 Melinoe (Melinoe_0486): O Moon, my steady friend through all these nights, I have for you this humble offering! Selene (Selene_0068): I am grateful for your generosity. Though the kinship that we share is more than sufficient, and makes the lonely nights seem to soar by. SeleneGift04 Melinoe (Melinoe_0487): Great Eye of Night, who watches over me, may your brilliance always shine across the world. Selene (Selene_0069): The customary gifting of the gods... I am becoming fond of this cycle. Some traditions of Olympus may be worth adopting after all. SeleneGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3674): All creatures need you, Sister, not just gods; from the solitary wolf that howls in the night, to the sailor crossing waters you alone illuminate. You truly are an inspiration. Selene (Selene_0328): I sometimes think Olympus takes my constancy for granted; for I receive many offerings from mortals, but not gods. While it should make no difference to me, nonetheless it does, little star. Thank you for the gesture. SeleneGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3675): Your silver light is shared by everyone, though I am far more fortunate as I know you yourself, Sister Selene. I never could have found my strength if not for yours. Selene (Selene_0329): I always wished to be dependable, and you must feel the same. Though I watched over you, out of necessity we were quite distant as you grew and trained, but now? We Silver Sisters have grown close; as though we are one. SeleneGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3639): Sister Selene, Eye of Night, you always have looked out for me since I was very small. But more than that, you've been a dependable comrade and true friend. The gods bestow such gifts to those they cherish, so I offer this to you. Selene (Selene_0362): On countless nights have I observed your family on Olympus at their feasts, Ambrosia flowing in abundance. But, it was not the place for me, nor do we revel in the Crossroads thus. Yet from you, this is a cherished gift. SeleneGift08 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3640): In my lowest moments, when I felt most incapable and filled with doubt, you always believed in me, Sister. Your cycles across the sky are a steady source of calm and strength and inspiration, for you yourself are all that and more. Selene (Selene_0363): Thank you for your offering and for your thoughts. I likewise never knew my birthparents when I was small, but Nyx in all her splendor took me in. I saw myself in you, I think, and felt perhaps a big sister could be of benefit... SeleneGift09 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3641): May you shine forever bright, Sister Selene, my big sister, who protected me and guided me and taught me so much of patience and grace. This offering cannot begin to convey how much it means to me to have you in my life. Selene (Selene_0364): You need not spare such words for me, though I am grateful for them, little star. As for the Ambrosia, I shall keep it for a time we Silver Sisters next may share of it together. As with the bond between us, it shall only grow in quality with age. SeleneGrantsHiddenAspect01 Selene (Selene_0333): You have begun to understand the secrets of the Black Coat. One, I can share; a waking-phrase to utter by the Silver Pool: {#Emph}I see you bring bliss and destruction in your outstretched arms. {#Prev}Remember it, and speak it, little star. SeleneGrantsOlympianDuos01 Selene (Selene_0346): Your relatives on Mount Olympus all are well aware of me, of course. In most respects, I now can aid you openly, and even they themselves may grant you greater strength using my light. Let them believe that strength is theirs alone. SeleneGreeting.VoiceLines Selene (Selene_0398): Hail to you. Selene (Selene_0400): Hail, Sister. Selene (Selene_0401): Sister. Selene (Selene_0399): There you are. Selene (Selene_0105): Hail to you, Witch of the Crossroads. Selene (Selene_0396): Little star...! Selene (Selene_0397): Little star... Melinoe (Melinoe_0027): Sister Selene... SeleneHome01 Selene (Selene_0108): Ah, little star! During such phases, I remain unseen in the night sky, and can enjoy a moment's rest. So let us speak a little more, although I fear that speaking starts to drain me of my light. How fares the task? Melinoe (Melinoe_0488): Great Selene, I am honored by your presence here. The task proceeds at pace I think, although as you well know, we have much left to do. I'm grateful you've been watching over me. Selene (Selene_0109): And I am grateful for the opportunity. I am the Eye of Night, but you, I think, have come to be her sword. Until we see each other once again under her veil. Melinoe (Melinoe_0489): Farewell till then. SeleneHomeRepeatable01 Selene (Selene_0323): I have returned to rest within this dark and safe abode. And soon, I ride again. SeleneHomeRepeatable02 Selene (Selene_0324): Our cycle soon is to begin again, but for the moment, I must take my rest. SeleneHomeRepeatable03 Selene (Selene_0325): Our strength shall never reach its peak if we do not permit ourselves to rest. SeleneHomeRepeatable04 Selene (Selene_0326): Another cycle is complete, so we reflect and make our preparations for the next. SeleneHomeRepeatable05 Selene (Selene_0327): Within these Crossroads my strength rapidly returns, and soon I shall be high aloft. SeleneLootBought01 Selene (Selene_0177): The Boatman Charon is familiar with every twisted pathway through this world. Yet, I provide for him my light nevertheless. He need not always find his way alone. SeleneLootBought02 Selene (Selene_0217): I do not care to see the glimmer of the golden coins that Charon takes from you. It is far too much like the light of day, which likewise I can stand only so long. SeleneLootBought03 Selene (Selene_0466): I would prefer that you would never have to give up anything to use my power, little star. But if a handful of gold coins lets me locate you even more reliably, then so be it. SeleneLootBought04 Selene (Selene_0467): Among the children of Nyx, Charon has always been one of the most reserved. The kinship that you have with him is not a commonplace occurrence, little star. SeleneLootBought05 Selene (Selene_0369): Now that your father's throne has been restored and Mother Nyx is free, perhaps Charon shall resume transporting Shades of the dead to their eternal resting-place. Although I think he shall still see to it that you are well-supplied. SeleneLowHealth01 Selene (Selene_0070): You have lost much of your lifeblood already. Then perhaps I am too late this time. But while you still can stand, you still can harness the great power I illuminate in you. SeleneLowHealth02 Selene (Selene_0071): Such injuries you have sustained already, little star. Pain, it seems, is built into the cycle of our lives. I cannot make it go away; but you may learn to set it well aside. SeleneLowHealth03 Selene (Selene_0072): You are hurt; your light is waning, little star. Do not lose heart. Our light never goes out. A new moon always rises. SeleneLowHealth04 Selene (Selene_0468): Your foes made you shed too much blood already on this night. Soon enough it all shall be renewed, but until then, spill not another drop and struggle to survive. SelenePackageBountyIntro01 Selene (Selene_0225): This strange sensation... I remember what it is: the whims of Chaos, affecting our surroundings even if in subtle ways. I have faith that this is due to your actions, not chance. SelenePostEpilogue01 Selene (Selene_0382): Your Headmistress informed me that you finally located the Three Fates...? Then all is finally set right, although I feel as before... perhaps they wish to see what shall transpire if we each continue plotting out the course of our own lives. SelenePostGift01 Selene (Selene_0087): If only you could see the world from where I ride. Some night perhaps? I know just how much ugliness there is. But, it is rather hidden from afar. SelenePostTrueEnding01 Selene (Selene_0365): This matter with the Titan Chronos was one of the greatest ordeals that the Silver Sisters ever faced, yet through it all, you have remained steadfast. I know that more is always to be done, but you have earned at least a new moon's rest. SelenePostTrueEnding02 Selene (Selene_0367): Your Headmistress revealed more to me about your current charge; ensuring that our time flows freely forward from here on. I understand this newer task may have no end in sight, so bid you pace yourself accordingly. SelenePostTrueEnding03 Selene (Selene_0481): Such a joyous night it was when you and your Headmistress and the goddess of the hunt and I all rode together on my steeds. Now we are each once more where we belong, but the Silver Sisters are never truly apart. SelenePostTrueEndingRunCleared01 Selene (Selene_0370): You vanquished Chronos in another time...? Or {#Emph}of {#Prev}another time, and with the self-same Titan's aid. Such mysteries his power holds. But if this is what it takes for our time to flow freely forward, then let us see that it is done. SelenePostTrueEndingRunCleared02 Selene (Selene_0371): The threat of Typhon now is gone to us, and yet you are ensuring with the Titan Chronos that even the possibility of such a threat cannot exist? Then so mote it be; as Silver Sisters, we safeguard the realm by all our means. SeleneRunCleared01 Selene (Selene_0102): You have gone far since last we met... especially for someone with no steeds. Thus I commend you, and may all of your future attempts in turn succeed. SeleneRunCleared02 Selene (Selene_0173): You faced the Titan in the lowest depths... that much I knew before your Headmistress confirmed you vanquished him, as I had faith you would. If his life-force is like grains of sand, then you took one; eventually, {#Emph}all. SeleneRunCleared03 Selene (Selene_0174): {#Emph}Death to Chronos. {#Prev}I sense that you are growing closer to manifesting the reality that we have long since sought. May you yet drain whatever light is left in him. SeleneRunStart01 Selene (Selene_0083): The dark of night begins, as does your task. And I am here to usher you into that dark, toward inevitable victory, and death. SeleneRunStart02 Selene (Selene_0084): I have arrived to join you at the outset of this cycle, to illuminate each step along your path. The path only appears familiar, so take care. SeleneRunStart03 Selene (Selene_0085): As daylight fades upon the surface, we begin to shine. I shall distract your enemies, while you press ever closer to the resolution that we Silver Sisters vowed would come to pass. SeleneRunStart04 Selene (Selene_0222): Another night now beckons, and I shall cast such shadows as to bring you strength and comfort each in turn. Choose well the magick that shall be of greatest benefit. SeleneRunStartIntro01 Selene (Selene_0320): Another evening filled with possibility. I ride from Dawn and cannot stay for long; I see your own night's journey has begun, so let us shine together, now and always. SeleneRunSwitchPostClear01 Selene (Selene_0471): I see what you now seek to do. With the Titan Chronos reeling from his latest loss, it is an opportunity to aid Olympus in its plight. Shine forth then for the gods. SeleneRunSwitchPostClear02 Selene (Selene_0473): You possess strength enough even to match with monsters such as Typhon, as the Titan Chronos now must know full well. Perhaps he shall experience dread anticipating you. SeleneRunSwitchPostLoss01 Selene (Selene_0474): At least you proved to be a suitable distraction for Typhon last night. You shall have other opportunities to vanquish him, perhaps after the Titan Chronos falls to you this eve. SeleneSurfaceRunCleared01 Selene (Selene_0319): You braved the surface and the ardor of the journey to the mountain of the gods, then somehow withstood that monstrous being risen from the past... you are even more than I imagined, little star. SeleneTrueEnding01 Nyx (Nyx_0032): ...My faithful Eye of Night, my child, thank you for ensuring that our realm remains secure, and keeping watch above it all. I never doubted that I could count on you. Selene (Selene_0372): But Mother, had our watch been more dependable, then none of this would have transpired... Nyx (Nyx_0122): Trying times shall always come about, testing our resolve. Thus we grow strong, as do the bonds we share. Even now, I sense the powerful connection between you and the Princess of the Underworld. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5170): It was my honor to work with Sister Selene, O Nyx. She has always been my guiding light. I'm so pleased that you could finally see each other again. Nyx (Nyx_0123): A reunion you made possible, with Hecate and the Unseen. Your services shall be remembered, O Melinoë, Princess. Now go... for there are more reunions to be had. Selene (Selene_0373): Thank you, Mother, and farewell for now. Nyx (Nyx_0032): ...My faithful Eye of Night, my child, thank you for ensuring that our realm remains secure, and keeping watch above it all. I never doubted that I could count on you. Selene (Selene_0372): But Mother, had our watch been more dependable, then none of this would have transpired... I failed you, yet you praise me? Nyx (Nyx_0033): Trying times shall always come about. Now go, and whenever you ride through the dark of the sky, remember I am always there. Selene (Selene_0373): Thank you, Mother, and farewell for now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5171): I must say, I did not expect that we could ever draw you down this far, Sister Selene. I thought perhaps not even Headmistress could in all her experience! Selene (Selene_0374): If you are ready, little star, then let us go, lest we outstay our greetings and farewells. I am honored to have seen these halls, and to return to shadow with you on this night in victory, not haste. Hecate (HecateField_0327): Come, Melinoë, for all the reasons that Selene says. We have a delivery that we must make, besides. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3903): {#Emph} {#Prev}Then let's be off. If only Artemis were here, this could have been a proper Silver Sisters reunion, couldn't it? Selene (Selene_0377): Then let us ride into the dark above. Selene (Selene_0378): ...And do be careful to hold on as we depart. Nyx (Nyx_0034): Farewell. Persephone (Persephone_0013): Farewell!! Zagreus (Zagreus_0088): Goodbye!

SeleneWithHecate01 Selene (Selene_0106): It gladdens me to see you, Hecate. I have observed the stalemate upon Olympus holds, although the Titan Chronos musters forces in Ephyra still. Shall I continue monitoring them? Hecate (Hecate_0199): Yes, Selene, do. Blasted Ephyra is the closest exit out of here. Do you suppose they are prepared for a single assailant to weave through their ranks? Selene (Selene_0107): The Titan's forces are somewhat in disarray. Thus no, I do not think they are sufficiently prepared for one of us. But I shall watch and make certain of it. For now I must be off. Together we shine. Hecate (Hecate_0200): Farewell.

Skelly (Skelly_0192): Keep doing what you're doing over there! SkellyAboutAspects01 Skelly (Skelly_0185): Something transpired with the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Silver Puddle {#Prev}back there, I could tell, young one! Your doing, or perchance that of the Fates themselves? Melinoe (Melinoe_2529): I've revealed in the Pool the Aspects of the Nocturnal Arms. Not their true forms, exactly... but different ones, with their own great power. Skelly (Skelly_0186): Ah, the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Nocturnal Arms{#Prev}! Your brother, he once used their counterparts, and those ones too turned into other stuff. Well if you need to test your newfound strength, I'm here. Melinoe (Melinoe_2530): I know it, Commander. SkellyAboutAxe01 Skelly (Skelly_0177): The monstrous power of the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Moonstone Axe {#Prev}is yours!

Melinoe (Melinoe_4052): I thought my training here was more or less complete, Commander. All the Nocturnal Arms are at my disposal, and I know them well. Am I to keep reducing you to dust? Skelly (Skelly_0442): Well, the choice {#Emph}is {#Prev}ultimately yours, of course, but lest you forget: There's always more for you to learn, and only one way to learn it! Melinoe (Melinoe_4053): By hitting you repeatedly. Skelly (Skelly_0443): And often, now come {#Emph}on! SkellyAboutBounties01 Skelly (Skelly_0248): We all saw you disappear into that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Pitch-Black Stone{#Prev}. Another means by which you may spring into action, retaining the element of surprise! {#Emph}Pretty nice! Melinoe (Melinoe_2928): That Stone has been here all this time. It's so much more than a monument to Night, and its origins, even more ancient. But I never considered it a weapon in our arsenal... Skelly (Skelly_0249): Well, not like you can crack me over the head with it, but {#Emph}yeah! SkellyAboutBountyBoard01 Skelly (Skelly_0089): My disciples, they were given quite a fright when that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Pitch-Black Stone {#Prev}there suddenly lit up. You know what it is, do you not? Melinoe (Melinoe_2818): A shard of purest darkness from the depths of Chaos... in its countless facets, countless outcomes. Perhaps none of which the Fates have preordained. Skelly (Skelly_0090): {#Emph}Uhh{#Prev}, yep. SkellyAboutBountyBoard02 Skelly (Skelly_0465): You keep on vanishing into the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Pitch-Black Stone{#Prev}, young one. My disciples and I, we've been thinking must be something pretty good in there! Melinoe (Melinoe_4154): Well Commander, it's not exactly a feast on the other side. Whenever I use the Stone, in many ways it's just like any other night, except... I really shouldn't say. Skelly (Skelly_0466): {#Emph}Aw {#Prev}c'mon why not? Not like somebody's gonna tell on you, I mean, have we not earned your trust, or what? Melinoe (Melinoe_4155): The Stone reveals its own secrets, not I. Skelly (Skelly_0467): Seriously? SkellyAboutCardUpgradeSystem01 Skelly (Skelly_0361): Something's changed about that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Altar {#Prev}of yours recently, and you have been at it more and {#Emph}more{#Prev}, young one! Mayhaps awakened newfound power there, or what? Melinoe (Melinoe_3364): I've consecrated the Ashes and gained insight into the potential of the Arcana, Commander. Requires a little Moon Dust, and a lot of focus... perhaps the other way around. Skelly (Skelly_0362): {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Moon Dust? {#Prev}Think the old {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Broker {#Prev}started pawning off that stuff, though I {#Emph}have {#Prev}heard it's possible a witch like you could brew it up herself.

Skelly (Skelly_0464): Hear that, you slackers? Better bring your best, or {#Emph}else! SkellyAboutCerberus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2996): Commander. You once held a place of honor in my father's House, so you must know Cerberus? I think I found him in the Mourning Fields, coated in Miasma, heads to paws. Was he always prone to uncontrolled fits of rage? Skelly (Skelly_0240): Oh, no, he mostly sat around. We go way back, it's just... I kept strategically afar, seeing as he's kind of like a {#Emph}dog{#Prev}, and I'm kind of like a {#Emph}bone. {#Prev}So now he's giving you some trouble, huh? Melinoe (Melinoe_2795): It's not his fault. Chronos must have cast him from the House and put him out to pasture. But if I can just break through all that grime, I'm certain I can calm him down. Skelly (Skelly_0241): He never did like baths, just so you know... SkellyAboutCerberus01B Melinoe (Melinoe_2995): Commander, you once held a place of honor in my father's House. So, you must know Cerberus, right? I found him in the Mourning Fields, coated in Miasma, heads to paws. Was he always prone to uncontrolled fits of rage? Skelly (Skelly_0240): Oh, no, he mostly sat around. We go way back, it's just... I kept strategically afar, seeing as he's kind of like a {#Emph}dog{#Prev}, and I'm kind of like a {#Emph}bone. {#Prev}So now he's giving you some trouble, huh? Melinoe (Melinoe_2997): It's not his fault. Chronos must have cast him from the House, put him out to pasture. I broke through all the grime, and calmed him down. But he may need another cleansing soon. Skelly (Skelly_0241): He never did like baths, just so you know... SkellyAboutCerberus02 Skelly (Skelly_0626): So how's it going with that giant mutt? Still up to no good in the Mourning Fields? He's probably just {#Emph}bored. Melinoe (Melinoe_4987): I've been able to break him free of whatever's taken hold of him there, though the affliction seems to keep coming back. Skelly (Skelly_0627): That figures. He was the dreaded {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Guardian of the Gates{#Prev}! What, you think he'd let you pass just the one time, then never try to block you again? Melinoe (Melinoe_4988): I was hoping he would, yes. Skelly (Skelly_0628): Well, too bad. SkellyAboutCharon01 Melinoe (Melinoe_2924): Have you seen, Commander? Lord Charon's come to visit us! At last our supply lines are secure, and our counter-assault begins. Skelly (Skelly_0244): Uh, {#Emph}yeah! {#Prev}It's been quite some time since good Lord Charon visited us last. We'd better all be on our best behavior around him! But, {#Emph}uh... {#Prev}where'd you get all that supply-lines stuff? Melinoe (Melinoe_2925): Why, he told me himself, sir! In his way. Skelly (Skelly_0245): Oh... SkellyAboutCharon02 Skelly (Skelly_0246): Say, young one? I'd ask of you a question that pertains to good Lord Charon, if you please. Seems like you understand him pretty good! Has he, {#Emph}uh{#Prev}, said anything of late regarding {#Emph}me...? Melinoe (Melinoe_2926): Commander, I... I'm sorry, no. But I'll be certain to put in a good word! You've been indispensable, and Lord Charon ought to be aware. Skelly (Skelly_0247): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}I mean, {#Emph}um, no{#Prev}, just... don't go doing anything like that! You need not burden more the Boatman with such trivialities, amid such turbulent times...! Don't bother him, OK? Melinoe (Melinoe_2927): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, OK! SkellyAboutChatting01 Skelly (Skelly_0393): You're eager to get out there and start dishing out some good old fashioned punishment, young one! Well then you need not stop for me. {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Just go! Melinoe (Melinoe_3803): It doesn't feel right to rush through these Crossroads without so much as a word. Besides, you surely have some vital wisdom to impart. Skelly (Skelly_0394): That I do, and it is this: Even if you see a sign over my head or anybody's that's like {#Emph}c'mere talk to me{#Prev}, remember... no need to chat if you're not in a conversating mood, OK? Melinoe (Melinoe_3804): Just ignore anybody I don't want to talk to, then. Skelly (Skelly_0395): Yeah, who needs 'em! SkellyAboutChronosBossL01 Skelly (Skelly_0629): My disciples indicate you reached your destination but you choked a little right there at the end. Well, that's rough. To have come {#Emph}that {#Prev}far only to wind up {#Emph}all {#Prev}the way back here... Melinoe (Melinoe_4989): Commander, this is not the type of encouragement that's of benefit right now. I had Chronos cornered, but he overpowered me. And now I've lost the element of surprise! Skelly (Skelly_0630): Ooh, {#Emph}yeah{#Prev}, that's bad. Look, I hate to say this but I'd probably {#DialogLegendaryFormat}hang it up {#Prev}if I was you. Blowin' a chance like that? Melinoe (Melinoe_4990): Commander...!

Showed {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Chronos {#Prev}the what-for? Melinoe (Melinoe_2920): I was able to defeat him, yes, Commander. But, my ultimate objective is far from complete. Skelly (Skelly_0239): {#Emph}Ah, well{#Prev}, that's objectives for you! Soon as one's complete, along comes another... but you are gonna {#Emph}keep {#Prev}knocking 'em dead! Melinoe (Melinoe_2921): By your leave. SkellyAboutChronosBossW02 Skelly (Skelly_0369): Word reached me that this past night, you achieved what you set out to do, young one! Major congrats on that, all my disciples and myself salute you on a job well done. Melinoe (Melinoe_3371): Thank you, Commander! Though, this was a step toward victory I never could have achieved if not for all the training and counsel from Headmistress, Odysseus, and yourself. Skelly (Skelly_0370): And she even gives credit where credit is due! SkellyAboutChronosBossW03 Skelly (Skelly_0543): So you smacked Chronos good a couple of times now! Remind these Shades and me what is to happen next: How are you gonna kill that which continues coming back? Melinoe (Melinoe_4353): Commander, though it's tempting to share all my latest progress, we both know I'm never to divulge the details of my task. Not even to you. Skelly (Skelly_0544): {#Emph}Not even to me. {#Prev}But can you say at least, your brother, is he gonna be all right? Been worrying about the guy is all... Melinoe (Melinoe_4354): Nice try, sir. SkellyAboutCosmetics01 Skelly (Skelly_0401): My disciples are appreciative for all of the improvements to these training grounds, young one! Soon we shall have a proper war camp here! Melinoe (Melinoe_3810): Anything we can do to raise morale is worth our while. Are there other improvements that you'd like to see? Skelly (Skelly_0402): Ah well, as you know I have but modest needs! A good smack in the head now and again is all that I require. Melinoe (Melinoe_3811): Just let me know if there's anything else.

SkellyAboutDying01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4161): I've always wondered something, Commander. Where do you go when you're not here? I mean, sometimes you only arrive after I switch between Nocturnal Arms... Skelly (Skelly_0473): That isn't anybody's business but mine own, young one! Do we not, each of us, require solitude? A locale where we might collect our bearings and our thoughts? Melinoe (Melinoe_4162): Of course, sir... I apologize for overstepping. We are the Unseen; we dwell in obscurity and guard our secrets. Skelly (Skelly_0474): And we don't go pryin' in each other's personal affairs. SkellyAboutEarlyRunClear01 Skelly (Skelly_0470): Oh hey, young one, just minding my own business over here... for what knowledge could I possibly impart to she who vanquished the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Titan of Time {#Prev}like it was nothin'? Melinoe (Melinoe_4159): Commander, I merely wished to thank you. Were it not for all your teachings in the past, I wouldn't have prevailed. Skelly (Skelly_0471): Ah, yes! I almost forgot my teachings in the past! In turn, I congratulate you on achieving that which I wagered was impossible to my disciples here... Melinoe (Melinoe_4160): Wait you {#Emph}wagered...? Skelly (Skelly_0472): {#Emph}No! SkellyAboutEmotions01 Skelly (Skelly_0073): One must at times hold fast to one's emotions, and at others, know to let 'em loose. And when you want to let 'em loose, or try out one of them {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Nocturnal Arms{#Prev}, know that I'm here. Melinoe (Melinoe_0075): This anger is for Chronos, sir. SkellyAboutExorcismBook01 Skelly (Skelly_0226): Way to go with that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Tablet of Peace{#Prev}, young one! Our ranks are beginning to swell with Shades who may yet find great purpose in their immortal coil! Melinoe (Melinoe_2495): Their lives, such as they are, will only improve once my father is restored to his rightful throne. Skelly (Skelly_0184): Oh there's no doubt of that! But first, we fight! SkellyAboutFamiliars01 Skelly (Skelly_0081): You have an {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Animal Familiar {#Prev}now! Well, your disciples are my disciples, young one. They shall be trained and cared for here while you're away, and they can fight me also if they like? Melinoe (Melinoe_3552_B): Yes, sir. SkellyAboutGiftRack01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1046): The old storage case... so, it's an heirloom from my family. Skelly (Skelly_0083): That it is, and for as long as I can recollect. Look upon it knowing that the burden which you bear, you need not bear alone. Plus it'll keep your {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Keepsakes {#Prev}all in one handy spot! Melinoe (Melinoe_1047): A symbol of the gift-giving custom of Olympus, then. A tradition that now falls to us. Skelly (Skelly_0084): Yep. SkellyAboutGiftRack02 Skelly (Skelly_0085): You're beginning to fill out that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Keepsake {#Prev}storage case, young one. Fine work, yet I must caution you not to collect just for collecting's sake... Melinoe (Melinoe_1048): The act of giving is its own intangible reward. Nectar sours when it's offered with impure intent. Skelly (Skelly_0086): Won't have impure intent on my damn training grounds. SkellyAboutGodMode01 Skelly (Skelly_0242): Your struggles never are in vain, young one! You're no mere mortal; with each passing night, you grow in knowledge and in strength! 'Specially if you throw on that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}God Mode{#Prev}, then there won't be any stopping you! Melinoe (Melinoe_2922): Would that godhood was enough, Commander. Though, the last thing you said... {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, what exactly did you mean? Skelly (Skelly_0243): Oh, {#DialogLegendaryFormat}God Mode{#Prev}? Well, it's this {#Emph}mode{#Prev}, you see. One which you're able to {#Emph}throw on! {#Prev}Or to throw off, entirely at whim! It's just an option's all I'm trying to say, so use it if you please! Melinoe (Melinoe_2923): Just an option... SkellyAboutHades01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4156): I saw my father recently, Commander... bound in chains in deepest Tartarus, a prisoner of Time. After all he's been through, though... he couldn't even remember you by name! Skelly (Skelly_0468): How, {#Emph}uh{#Prev}, how terrible that is, young one! Your papa and I, we couldn't have been closer. Perchance he merely has forgotten 'cause of everything he's going through. Melinoe (Melinoe_4157): I can't believe he'd just entirely forget one of his most trusted advisors. There must be some way to help him recall. Skelly (Skelly_0469): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}You gotta let him come around on his own. Melinoe (Melinoe_4158): You're probably right... SkellyAboutHealthQuest01 Skelly (Skelly_0583): Oh, {#Emph}curse {#Prev}these brittle old bones, that they cannot withstand as much punishment from you as once they did! Used to be I could really take a hit, but lately? I don't know. Melinoe (Melinoe_4947): Commander, what has gotten into you? I thought you longed to be struck by whichever armament I had available, the more savagely the better. Should I be holding back? Skelly (Skelly_0584): {#Emph}Never! {#Prev}I long merely to absorb more punishment ere I fall to pieces and have to put myself back together. You are way stronger now, but I'm {#Emph}not! {#Prev}Just doesn't seem right! But there {#Emph}is {#Prev}something you can do... Melinoe (Melinoe_4948): What's this? An incantation to augment {#Emph}bone density? Skelly (Skelly_0585): Just think about it, all right? SkellyAboutHealthQuest02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4949): Commander, the Augmentation of Bone Density you taught me... it's a costly incantation. Are you certain you're prepared? If we proceed, there's no undoing the effect. Skelly (Skelly_0586): Young one, I was {#Emph}born {#Prev}prepared. Put yourself in my place: Wouldn't you want to be able to take a real beatin'? Melinoe (Melinoe_4950): I prefer to avoid beatings altogether, but can see the appeal from your perspective. Your bones would become much more durable... as long as falling to pieces is not the best part for you. Skelly (Skelly_0587): It's really not, because when I'm in pieces, I'm not getting hit, and {#Emph}that's {#Prev}the good stuff, let me tell {#Emph}you. {#Prev}So you gonna cast this thing or what? Melinoe (Melinoe_4951): I'm looking into it... SkellyAboutHealthQuest03 Skelly (Skelly_0589): {#Emph}Ah, hahaha, fools! {#Prev}I am now entirely {#DialogLegendaryFormat}invincible{#Prev}, and {#Emph}soon? {#Prev}Real soon, you all shall dearly pay for that which you've said behind my back... vengeance shall finally be {#Emph}mine! Melinoe (Melinoe_4955): Commander, what is the meaning of this? You're not yourself! I merely cast the Augmentation of Bone Density! Skelly (Skelly_0590): And you played right into my fingerbones. For now I cannot {#Emph}possibly {#Prev}be slain! Just you try it and see what occurs! Skelly (Skelly_0591): {#Emph}Ah, hahahahahaha! SkellyAboutHealthQuest04 Skelly (Skelly_0596): Well I hope you learned your lesson, kiddo! You thought I had become more powerful than any foe you'd ever faced, only to discover your {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Augmentation of Bone Density {#Prev}did not do all that much... Melinoe (Melinoe_4959): Commander, I feared the worst when you acted as though were, well, drunk with newfound power. I'd never seen that side of you before. Skelly (Skelly_0597): Nor shall you see that side of me {#Emph}again! {#Prev}Provided you don't make a habit of casting incantations you get from strangers! Melinoe (Melinoe_4960): But you're not a stranger. You're a trusted ally! Aren't you...? Skelly (Skelly_0598): Well, {#Emph}yeah{#Prev}, but... look forget it, all right? Just hit me like you used to, I don't even care. Melinoe (Melinoe_4961): Very well... SkellyAboutHealthQuest05 Melinoe (Melinoe_4962): It's a relief you're not a vengeful adversary who deceived me into casting a spell that awakened his true and terrifying might, Commander, but... do you feel any different after the Augmentation of Bone Density, or not? Skelly (Skelly_0599): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, you know, I {#Emph}do {#Prev}feel somewhat tougher than before, young one, so thanks! That's really all I figured your incantation was gonna do, but I had you going, didn't I? Melinoe (Melinoe_4963): I suppose, but... mostly you just made me realize that I'd be very sad if some evening you did not come back. You're not just our Commander... you're my friend. Skelly (Skelly_0600): What, you really mean that, kiddo? 'Cause let's face it, sometimes all I do is {#Emph}stand {#Prev}here. And not even {#Emph}sometimes! Melinoe (Melinoe_4964): Of course I mean it, sir. Skelly (Skelly_0601): {#Emph}Aw{#Prev}, now come {#Emph}on... SkellyAboutHiddenDaggerAspect01 Skelly (Skelly_0503): So you've awakened newfound power in those Blades of yours. I figured they could pull a fancy trick like that! Your brother, his old weapons all worked pretty much the same! Melinoe (Melinoe_4273): The Infernal Arms had hidden Aspects, too... though whose, I wonder. Perhaps one of your own, Commander! The Fates bestowed their weapons to heroes, as well as gods... Skelly (Skelly_0504): Careful there, young one! The secrets of the Arms are never to be loudly blabbed about... Melinoe (Melinoe_4274): Of course. Apologies. SkellyAboutHouse01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4169): Do you ever miss it, Commander? Your time in service to the House of Hades. Training my brother. Holding a position of high honor there. Skelly (Skelly_0485): Oh, 'twas a glorious time for sure. But, I would not have earned my post if I kept crying about the past like a {#DialogLegendaryFormat}little baby{#Prev}. I'm all about the here-and-now! Melinoe (Melinoe_4170): But all of what you used to have is gone. The other servants of the House... you must have some concern for {#Emph}them {#Prev}at least? Skelly (Skelly_0486): C'mon, they're {#Emph}gods! {#Prev}They'll probably be fine! SkellyAboutKeepsake01 Skelly (Skelly_0189): I trust that the enchanted {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Tooth {#Prev}I proffered you has proved invaluable? Although, since you're already back, perhaps it wasn't quite invaluable enough... Melinoe (Melinoe_2586): I'd surely not have gone as far without your Keepsake, Commander. Though, why is it known as the {#Emph}Luckier {#Prev}Tooth? Was there another of its kind? Skelly (Skelly_0190): Oh, no! It is truly a unique artifact procured in my travails. An artifact with which you'll cling to life as might a sailor on a sinking ship. Melinoe (Melinoe_2587): That's very vivid... SkellyAboutLob01 Skelly (Skelly_0403): I must salute the bearer of the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Argent Skull{#Prev}! Would that my own cranium were thusly reinforced with silver and could explode with such spectacular results! Melinoe (Melinoe_3812): One good skull deserves another. SkellyAboutNotUsingShrine01 Skelly (Skelly_0475): Must think you're pretty tough by now, don't you, beating Chronos or whoever down again and again! But are you pushing yourself to the fullest? Or taking it {#DialogLegendaryFormat}easy{#Prev}? Melinoe (Melinoe_4163): Few would consider the task of vanquishing the Titan of Time to be an easy one, Commander. Though I take your meaning. The Oath of the Unseen beckons... Skelly (Skelly_0476): Come on, {#Emph}use it{#Prev}, my disciples and I are practically daring you! {#Emph}You'll {#Prev}get to spruce up your {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Nocturnal Arms{#Prev}, {#Emph}we'll {#Prev}get to see what happens! {#Emph}Win-win! Melinoe (Melinoe_4164): Unless I fail. Skelly (Skelly_0477): {#Emph}You? {#Prev}C'mon. SkellyAboutOceanus01 Skelly (Skelly_0077): I understand you ventured to the bottom of the sea. I, too, have been there in those depths, young one! But once, awhile back, and briefly, I might add! Melinoe (Melinoe_1044): Of course...! You were a famous mariner in your mortal days! But, then you finally met your end beneath the waters upon which you sailed? Skelly (Skelly_0078): Nah! 'Twas way more glorious than that. SkellyAboutOceanus02 Skelly (Skelly_0187): How have you lately fared against the Lurkers and the Serpents all that way down in the watery depths? Knowing of 'em and squaring off against 'em are two very different things. Melinoe (Melinoe_2531): They're significantly stronger than the Lost Souls lingering around here. And they have no sense of fear at all, attacking without any hesitation. Skelly (Skelly_0188): They're basically just walking fish, young one. Not much for conversating, but they'll stick you with a trident just fine! Don't you let 'em. Melinoe (Melinoe_2532): I won't. SkellyAboutOlympus01 Skelly (Skelly_0396): My disciples and I all salute you on account of having made it up to the big mountain, young one! Back when we drew breath, we could only dream of those hallowed heights... Melinoe (Melinoe_3805): I appreciate the encouragement, Commander, but I've got a bit of a climb still. The legions of Chronos are there in droves... and the mountain's defenses can't tell us apart. Skelly (Skelly_0397): Surely you jest! The mechanical marvels wrought by the gods themselves turned their deadly appendages on {#Emph}you? {#Prev}When you went all that way to help 'em out? Melinoe (Melinoe_3806): Basically yes. Skelly (Skelly_0398): {#Emph}Eh {#Prev}that's too bad. SkellyAboutPast01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4173): You know I've always wondered about all those commendations that you wear... which was the first you earned? Which means the most? Skelly (Skelly_0489): Oh you mean these little numbers here? One of these I've had since, {#Emph}um{#Prev}, the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Siege of Ilium{#Prev}! Speared many a guy for {#Emph}that {#Prev}one! The others are from campaigns 'cross the land. Melinoe (Melinoe_4174): Which sorts of campaigns? Skelly (Skelly_0490): 'Cross the land, I said! SkellyAboutPast02 Skelly (Skelly_0497): Why are you looking at me with that consternated face, young one? Mayhaps in search of wisdom you would like me to impart? Melinoe (Melinoe_4178): ...It's just, even now, I know so little of your past. I have to admit, Commander... there are such times when I begin to feel as though you're not being candid with me. Skelly (Skelly_0498): What?! No. Look, I'm here to focus on your martial expertise, rather than prattle on about the way things used to be! But fine. What is it you really wish to know? Melinoe (Melinoe_4179): ...I wish to know exactly who you truly are. Skelly (Skelly_0499): ...Well I'm not telling you. Melinoe (Melinoe_4180): ...Fine. SkellyAboutPast03 Skelly (Skelly_0500): Hey look, I know we kinda had a little spat last time, and I don't want things going sideways with you here, so let me give it to you straight. Melinoe (Melinoe_4181): Very well, Commander. You always have my full attention. Skelly (Skelly_0501): The thing is, kiddo, and it's something that could get me into lots of trouble: Not only do I not want to, but I'm not even {#Emph}supposed {#Prev}to tell you what you want to know. Melinoe (Melinoe_4182): And I suppose you can't tell me why not. Is somebody coercing you to keep me ignorant? Skelly (Skelly_0502): Look, just trust me on this one, OK? You've got your part to play, and I got mine. Melinoe (Melinoe_4183): ...This isn't over. SkellyAboutPast04 Melinoe (Melinoe_4997): Commander, if I'm to trust you as I always have, then I need to know that you are not concealing anything from me. If you fear reprisal, I swear to vouch for you and protect you. Skelly (Skelly_0638): My fear, young one, is that if I share the knowledge you desire, you shall never again look upon me in the same way! Which may not be so good for either one of us. Melinoe (Melinoe_4998): I would rather look upon you knowing you are honest with me. And for my part, I shall not betray your confidentiality. Skelly (Skelly_0639): ...Well all right... I am not exactly the Commander whom you take me for, {#Emph}nay! {#Prev}I was much {#Emph}more {#Prev}than that... {#Emph}King Schelememnon{#Prev}, I was called! But I was even more than {#Emph}that, as well! {#Prev}For your own papa hand-selected me as one of his {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Three Judges of the Dead{#Prev}! Melinoe (Melinoe_4999): Commander, that's... that's incredible! So then... after the Underworld fell, you went into hiding here? Skelly (Skelly_0640): I, {#Emph}uh, heheh. {#Prev}Yes, that is correct. And our enemies, they have pursued me ever since! No one must know my whereabouts! Not your father, your brother... {#Emph}nobody. Melinoe (Melinoe_5000): Why can't my father or my brother know? Surely they'd want to hear you're safe! Skelly (Skelly_0641): {#Emph}No! {#Prev}Leave the clandestine communications to me. Melinoe (Melinoe_5001): ...I always thought my father did the judging on his own. Skelly (Skelly_0642): He did a good amount. SkellyAboutPrometheus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3807): Commander, what is the consensus here about Prometheus? If some mortals venerated him, perhaps you and your disciples feel conflicted that he now opposes us. Skelly (Skelly_0399): The Titan who brought fire, reason, good eats, and the arts and stuff to mortalkind... then faced the vengeance of the gods for all of that. Can't stand the guy! Let him have it! Melinoe (Melinoe_3808): Wait, you can't stand him even though he did so much for you? Though mortals can be difficult to please... Skelly (Skelly_0400): Well let's see, has he been nice to you, or has he tried to kill you? So what if he buttered us up way back when! Not like he's done much for us lately. Melinoe (Melinoe_3809): He {#Emph}has {#Prev}tried to kill me... SkellyAboutRouteChoice01 Skelly (Skelly_0144): I sense a great weight bearing down on you, young one. Not quite as bad as what old Atlas got, but still! Melinoe (Melinoe_1580): What do you advise as my next move, Commander: to pursue our enemy in the Underworld, or come to the aid of Olympus? Skelly (Skelly_0145): Well not to be all greedy here, {#Emph}but{#Prev}... I say go wherever you can get the stuff you need the most, right {#Emph}now! {#Prev}We got some stuff down here they don't got up there, and so on, right? Melinoe (Melinoe_1581): ...I suppose... SkellyAboutSayingLittle01 Skelly (Skelly_0647): Well we did it, kiddo! Or at least {#Emph}I {#Prev}did. This whole experience... it has given me a lot to think about. Melinoe (Melinoe_5004): At least you should have time to think about it now, Commander. Tell me if you have any epiphanies? Skelly (Skelly_0648): You bet. But I will probably just not have much to say, I mean, I'm {#Emph}beat! {#Prev}Not beat enough by {#Emph}you{#Prev}, of course, can't ever get enough of {#Emph}that. Melinoe (Melinoe_5005): Thanks again, Commander. SkellyAboutShrine01 Skelly (Skelly_0231): Your eyes do not deceive! Near the gateways outta here you'll find none other than the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Oath of the Unseen{#Prev}, I think it's called. Ask me not whence it came... instead ask just how {#Emph}tough {#Prev}you really are! Melinoe (Melinoe_2813): I earned the right to look upon the Oath... the Testaments of Night. Do I dare speak the vows? And thereby spread the Fear that darkness brings...? Skelly (Skelly_0232): Come on, what are you, {#Emph}scared? {#Prev}Those Nocturnal Arms you got, they probably are gonna love that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Fear {#Prev}and {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Testament {#Prev}type stuff. I say give it a shot! What's the worst that could happen? Melinoe (Melinoe_2814): All mortalkind condemned to never-ending torment and despair...? Skelly (Skelly_0233): It's gonna be {#Emph}fine! SkellyAboutShrine02 Skelly (Skelly_0234): How goes it with the never-ending torment stuff, now that you've got that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Oath {#Prev}thing over there? Those {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Nocturnal Arms {#Prev}of yours, they must be having a {#Emph}great {#Prev}time! Melinoe (Melinoe_2815): The Arms of Night... they're reacting to the Oath, I think. Growing stronger as her Testaments are carried out. Drinking the very Nightmares born of mortals' fear of the dark. Skelly (Skelly_0235): Now {#Emph}that {#Prev}is what I like to hear! SkellyAboutShrine03 Melinoe (Melinoe_2816): Even in all your wisdom, Commander... how is it that you know so much about the Oath of the Unseen? As far as I know it pre-dates even my father's rule within the Underworld. Skelly (Skelly_0236): Oh yeah, your papa took a different tack. Was all about his Pacts of Punishment! He even served your brother with 'em once, when they were really on the outs. But boyo just went for it, and then things {#Emph}really {#Prev}heated up! Melinoe (Melinoe_2817): You didn't answer my question. Skelly (Skelly_0237): And I'm not gonna! For I made certain Vows myself. SkellyAboutShrine04 Skelly (Skelly_0491): We feared the worst on such a terrifying night. Not so easy out there with that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Oath of the Unseen {#Prev}doing its thing! Melinoe (Melinoe_4175): The Vows do make my task more difficult; but they make me grow stronger, little by little. Are you suggesting I let up? Skelly (Skelly_0492): I mean I'm only saying if it's all too much you ought to turn that thing back down, nobody's judging over here! I'd rather you {#Emph}let {#Prev}up than {#Emph}give {#Prev}up. Melinoe (Melinoe_4176): Neither is best. SkellyAboutStaff01 Skelly (Skelly_0154): You getting a handle on that walking stick of yours? There's other stuff you might like better in the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Puddle {#Prev}back there, if you've got the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Silver {#Prev}for it. Just be sure to try it all out on me! Melinoe (Melinoe_2257): You mustn't speak ill of Descura, sir. SkellyAboutSuit01 Skelly (Skelly_0404): So {#Emph}this {#Prev}is the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Black Coat{#Prev}! An armament such as the world has never before seen! Probably because that thing can punch or blow up anybody fool enough to cross your path! Melinoe (Melinoe_3813): It fits like it was made for me... SkellyAboutSurface01 Skelly (Skelly_0494): You're brave to venture through that previously-warded gateway, but come {#Emph}on! {#Prev}You Underworld types aren't cut out for surface life! Unless perchance there is an {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Incantation {#Prev}that could help... Melinoe (Melinoe_3366): I think there is, Commander, except... it calls for reagents that can only be found up {#Emph}there... {#Prev}but, how am I supposed to gather them before the incantation is complete? Skelly (Skelly_0363): Mayhaps just {#DialogLegendaryFormat}make a run for it{#Prev}, I don't know. So what if you can't stay long, just grab what you need and get out of there! Melinoe (Melinoe_3367): It's not ideal, but... SkellyAboutSurface02 Skelly (Skelly_0142): You remained upon the surface for considerably longer than before. How was it, any good? Melinoe (Melinoe_1578): War rages above. The Olympians sent Heracles himself to contain the damage. Shades of the dead linger everywhere. So... {#Emph}not {#Prev}good, all in all. Skelly (Skelly_0143): Shades of the dead! Sure sounds like more disciples we can use. {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, {#DialogLegendaryFormat}sprint into 'em{#Prev}, will you? Melinoe (Melinoe_1579): Yes, sir. SkellyAboutSurface03 Skelly (Skelly_0495): I understand your recent journey to the surface didn't last so long, young one. Life's hard up there, and always gonna be! Not like your cushy Underworld. Melinoe (Melinoe_4177): I'm not accustomed to it yet. Everything's intensified... whenever I fail to evade a foe, I feel it even more. Skelly (Skelly_0496): Oh you're not gonna have an easy time. SkellyAboutTask01 Skelly (Skelly_0072): Your path is fraught, young one. Know that I'm {#Emph}always {#Prev}here to let you vent {#Emph}all {#Prev}your anger and frustrations upon, as well as to train with. Melinoe (Melinoe_0072): The greatest teacher is out there... SkellyAboutThessaly01 Skelly (Skelly_0079): How fared your recent surface sea-journey, young one? I still remember well the boundless waters there. How blue and tranquil they were! Melinoe (Melinoe_1045): {#Emph}Tranquil? {#Prev}My experience was not exactly that. Skelly (Skelly_0080): They were tranquil, damn it... SkellyAboutTorch01 Skelly (Skelly_0180): The {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Umbral Flames{#Prev}, young one! You're the spitting image of the big lady herself with those in hand. May they ever light your way, and light up anybody you don't like. Melinoe (Melinoe_2494): I'll fight like Headmistress herself. SkellyAboutTraining01 Skelly (Skelly_0153): Observe how patient my disciples are, studying your every move! If ever you're inclined to give them a demonstration of your prowess, or just want to blow off some steam, do not hesitate to {#DialogLegendaryFormat}whale upon me{#Prev}. Melinoe (Melinoe_2256): {#Emph}Whale upon{#Prev}, sir...? SkellyAboutTraining02 Skelly (Skelly_0044): Remember you are training with an unarmed opponent here, young one. Out there, the skeletons can {#Emph}move{#Prev}... and they'd cut you to ribbons, given half a chance! You won't learn to handle that kind of pressure sparring with me. Melinoe (Melinoe_0053): I understand. SkellyAboutTrophyQuest01 Skelly (Skelly_0303): Your myriad accomplishments thus far are nothing in comparison to that which you now stand to gain, young one! {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Eternal glory {#Prev}can be yours, if you but prove your worth! Melinoe (Melinoe_3269): The patterns on that drapery... the secret Gifts of the Veil, bestowed on Night's most dedicated servants...! Commander, what are they doing here? Shades are never to look upon them! Skelly (Skelly_0304): Well let's just say the rules have lately changed! Those {#Emph}Gifts{#Prev}, as you refer to them, are yours to earn... provided you can do the stuff the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Oath of the Unseen {#Prev}would ask of you! Which, as you probably surmised, shall be no simple feat. Melinoe (Melinoe_3270): Perhaps a test merely of greed and arrogance... to overextend with the Oath may put my task in jeopardy. Skelly (Skelly_0305): {#Emph}C'mon{#Prev}, don't be such a {#Emph}baby! SkellyAboutTrophyQuest02 Skelly (Skelly_0306): So are you gonna earn the Gifts of the Veil over there? Or squander your chance to get some of that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}eternal glory{#Prev}? Melinoe (Melinoe_3271): Eternal glory... if such a thing may come to those who manage to achieve extraordinary feats, so be it. But to chase glory as a goal unto itself? That can't be right... at least, it's never been our way. Skelly (Skelly_0307): But our ways can {#Emph}change{#Prev}, wouldn't you say? We mustn't become mired in the olden ways of doing things! Though I don't mean to pressure you, kiddo, it's just... I think you ought to get what's yours, is all. Melinoe (Melinoe_3272): ...I'll think about it. SkellyAboutTrophyQuest03 Melinoe (Melinoe_3288): To think the Gifts of the Veil were those statues... I always thought it was the Veils themselves... the draperies, sewn with the finest fabric of the Fates. Where are they anyway? Skelly (Skelly_0322): Oh, those? We, {#Emph}uh{#Prev}, we sent 'em back into the shadows whence they came. They were just packing materials, you know? You got the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}real deal{#Prev}, I swear! Melinoe (Melinoe_3289): I still cannot entirely believe that Night would honor me with such an ostentatious display. Although, perhaps these Gifts are less for {#Emph}me {#Prev}and more for those who serve our cause... Skelly (Skelly_0323): Now that you mention it, the Shades {#Emph}do {#Prev}like to gawk at 'em when you're not here. You get to inspire them even if you're not around! If that's not {#DialogLegendaryFormat}eternal glory{#Prev}... what is? Melinoe (Melinoe_3290): These Shades are inspired because I went out of my way to use the Oath of the Unseen purely for personal gain? Skelly (Skelly_0324_B): {#Emph}Yeah! {#Prev}They're easy to please! But not you, apparently. I didn't know Night's Champion was gonna have so many questions all the time! You want the statues, or don't you? Melinoe (Melinoe_3291): ...I... I do! Skelly (Skelly_0325): {#Emph}Good! {#Prev}'Cause we can't send 'em back now that you opened 'em up. Melinoe (Melinoe_3292): ...What? Skelly (Skelly_0326): What! SkellyAboutTrophyQuestProgress01_A Skelly (Skelly_0358_B): Halfway to victory, kiddo! But to earn the Gifts of the Veil, one must conquer the Underworld {#Emph}and {#Prev}the surface realms upon a {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Fear{#Prev}-ful night, each in turn. You up for it? Melinoe (Melinoe_3362): For the glory of the Underworld and the everlasting rule of Night, I would do everything in my ability. Whether that makes me worthy of the Gifts of the Veil, I know not. Skelly (Skelly_0359): {#Emph}C'mon{#Prev}, what kind of attitude is {#Emph}that? {#Prev}You did the Underworld already, now you just got to do the surface, and the Gifts are {#Emph}yours! {#Prev}First one of 'em at least. Come on, do it! Melinoe (Melinoe_3363): OK...! SkellyAboutTrophyQuestProgress01_B Skelly (Skelly_0358): Halfway to victory, young one! But to earn the Gifts of the Veil, one must conquer the Underworld {#Emph}and {#Prev}the surface realms upon a {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Fear{#Prev}-ful night each in turn. You up for it? Melinoe (Melinoe_3362): For the glory of the Underworld and the everlasting rule of Night, I would do everything in my ability. Whether that makes me worthy of the Gifts of the Veil, I know not. Skelly (Skelly_0360): {#Emph}C'mon{#Prev}, what kind of attitude is {#Emph}that? {#Prev}You did the surface already, now you just got to do the Underworld, and the Gifts are {#Emph}yours! {#Prev}First one of 'em at least. Come on, do it! Melinoe (Melinoe_3363): OK...! SkellyAboutTrophyQuestProgress02_A Skelly (Skelly_0372): The second {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Gift of the Veil {#Prev}is {#Emph}almost {#Prev}within reach! Could actually just go right up and touch it, b-but anyway a-are you prepared to use the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Oath {#Prev}and go the other way? Melinoe (Melinoe_3485): I don't mean to leave you in suspense, Commander, but we'll just have to see. Skelly (Skelly_0373): I shall be waiting here with the equivalent of bated breath! SkellyAboutTrophyQuestProgress02_B Skelly (Skelly_0372): The second {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Gift of the Veil {#Prev}is {#Emph}almost {#Prev}within reach! Could actually just go right up and touch it, b-but anyway a-are you prepared to use the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Oath {#Prev}and go the other way? Melinoe (Melinoe_3485): I don't mean to leave you in suspense, Commander, but we'll just have to see. Skelly (Skelly_0373): I shall be waiting here with the equivalent of bated breath! SkellyAboutTrophyQuestProgress03_A Skelly (Skelly_0374): The final and most monumental {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Gift of the Veil {#Prev}is so close at hand! If you can get through {#Emph}one {#Prev}of your two routes under the Oath, then surely the rest is but a walk in the park! Melinoe (Melinoe_3486): I can only assume a walk in this {#Emph}park {#Prev}you cite must be an absolutely grueling experience. Skelly (Skelly_0375): Some parts of town? {#Emph}Ohh {#Prev}yeah. SkellyAboutTrophyQuestProgress03_B Skelly (Skelly_0374): The final and most monumental {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Gift of the Veil {#Prev}is so close at hand! If you can get through {#Emph}one {#Prev}of your two routes under the Oath, then surely the rest is but a walk in the park! Melinoe (Melinoe_3486): I can only assume a walk in this {#Emph}park {#Prev}you cite must be an absolutely grueling experience. Skelly (Skelly_0375): Some parts of town? {#Emph}Ohh {#Prev}yeah. SkellyAboutTyphon01 Skelly (Skelly_0454): Mind telling all these Shades that {#Emph}no{#Prev}, the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Father of All Monsters {#Prev}{#Emph}isn't {#Prev}back? Because they're so caught up with this outrageous rumor, they don't buy it when {#Emph}I {#Prev}tell 'em! Melinoe (Melinoe_4059): Commander, the thing is... I confronted Typhon himself just last night. While Chronos schemes from the Underworld, that monstrosity attacks Olympus. Skelly (Skelly_0455): Oh! I, {#Emph}uh{#Prev}, I... {#Emph}knew {#Prev}all that, it's just... I was checking to see if my disciples had the nerve to stand up for that which they truly believed! And they did. Nice going, everyone! Melinoe (Melinoe_4060): So you knew of Typhon's return? Skelly (Skelly_0456): Yeah! Yeah... SkellyAboutTyphon02 Skelly (Skelly_0457): Hey, {#Emph}uh{#Prev}, would you attest to my disciples that I've taught you a great deal when it comes to fighting {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Typhon{#Prev}? They've been getting a little unruly and, {#Emph}uh{#Prev}, you'd be doing me a favor! Melinoe (Melinoe_4061): But Commander, you've not told me anything about him... {#Emph}ah{#Prev}, I know what this is. You wish to see if I would stoop to speaking falsehoods merely because I was asked! Skelly (Skelly_0458): Um, {#Emph}yeah! {#Prev}Yeah that's right. And I'm asking real nicely, c—come on, young one, would you just do this for me here...? Melinoe (Melinoe_4062): I'll not bring shame upon us both. Skelly (Skelly_0459): {#Emph}...Dammit. SkellyAboutTyphon03 Melinoe (Melinoe_4228): Commander, how am I to overcome a foe whose life-force is completely undetectable? Typhon the Bringer of Storms conceals his strength from me... but it must have its limits. Skelly (Skelly_0541): You know, young one, most of us can't sense another's life-force quite like you. We just hit each other till somebody ends up dead! Maybe there's signs, like {#DialogLegendaryFormat}cuts {#Prev}and {#DialogLegendaryFormat}bruises {#Prev}and whatnot? Melinoe (Melinoe_4229): He's not impervious. The gods have vanquished him before using sheer force... Skelly (Skelly_0542): Just let him have it! Works with everybody {#Emph}else! SkellyAboutTyphonW01 Skelly (Skelly_0460): Settle a little wager here, young one. These Shades are making claims {#Emph}you {#Prev}felled the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Father of All Monsters{#Prev}! I, however, am the voice of reason, and I say {#Emph}come onnn. Melinoe (Melinoe_4063): Typhon's recent defeat certainly wasn't my doing alone, Commander. We have Olympus on our side, and more! Skelly (Skelly_0461): Oh! Right, {#Emph}um{#Prev}, yeah, that's what I said: Technically, it wasn't just {#Emph}you{#Prev}. Hear that, disciples?! She had a bunch of those fancy {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Boons {#Prev}and who only knows what else! Melinoe (Melinoe_4064): Then you win the wager? Skelly (Skelly_0462): Damn right! SkellyAboutTyphonW02 Skelly (Skelly_0478): You have repeatedly knocked {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Typhon {#Prev}from his perch! Mayhaps {#Emph}the bigger they are... the harder they fall. Melinoe (Melinoe_4165): I've never thought of it that way before, Commander, but you're right! The Cyclops Polyphemus also falls quite hard. Skelly (Skelly_0479): Because of his size, you see! SkellyAboutUltimateProgress01 Melinoe (Melinoe_4977): I try not to dwell on what shall happen if and when all this is finally over, Commander. I know I ought to be completely focused on the task, but... as we near a potential end, I cannot help but think ahead. Skelly (Skelly_0614): Well {#Emph}stop {#Prev}it! How many times have I told you, {#EmphLegendary}never think ahead{#Prev}, kiddo. No good is ever gonna come of {#Emph}that. {#Prev}The here-and-now is all that counts! Melinoe (Melinoe_4978): You're truly saying one should never plan? But you're a {#Emph}Commander... {#Prev}anticipation and strategy are integral to martial leadership...! Skelly (Skelly_0615): If you're always doing good right {#Emph}now{#Prev}, you're always doing good later, that's all there is to it! Now quit with your worryin'. Melinoe (Melinoe_4979): {#Emph}Erm... {#Prev}OK. SkellyAboutUnusedWeaponBonus01 Skelly (Skelly_0174): There's something up with those Nocturnal Arms of yours... a certain {#Emph}aura {#Prev}that's surrounding one of them. The {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Grave Thirst{#Prev}... Melinoe (Melinoe_2490): A relatively simple incantation. I expected there was more to the connection between Night's weapons and the dead. No wonder you can see it, too. Skelly (Skelly_0343): Come, now... not like I need eyes on the back of my cranium! But I can feel it in my bones! Want more {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Bones {#Prev}yourself, just {#DialogLegendaryFormat}use the weapon with the Thirst{#Prev}! Melinoe (Melinoe_2491): Whenever possible. SkellyAboutZagreus01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0073): Commander... there must be something you could tell me of my brother. The stronger my connection, the better our chances. You knew him, didn't you? Skelly (Skelly_0007): I knew your brother, yeah. Good kid, most of the time. He wouldn't want you to be so hung up about him. What he'd want... more than anything, I think... is for you... to {#DialogLegendaryFormat}hit me{#Prev}. As hard as you can, repeatedly and often, and {#Emph}that's {#Prev}what I would want for you as well! Melinoe (Melinoe_0074): {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, very well. SkellyAboutZagreus02 Melinoe (Melinoe_4171): My brother must have been immensely strong, if he could sometimes even take my father when they sparred. Is there some favorite technique of his that you could pass along? Skelly (Skelly_0487): No there is {#Emph}not! {#Prev}My disciples must each follow their own path. Keep following yours, and mayhaps you {#Emph}too {#Prev}shall become powerful enough to beat your papa up. Melinoe (Melinoe_4172): Commander! My father is bound in chains in Tartarus! Skelly (Skelly_0488): Then it ought to be easy! Melinoe (Melinoe_4946): Commander, we have no reason to fight! Skelly (Skelly_0582): Mayhaps not {#Emph}yet! SkellyAboutZagreusFight01 Skelly (Skelly_0749): My disciples here claim that you clashed with none other than the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Prince of the Underworld {#Prev}himself, and you fought with the fury of a daemon, to which I said, {#Emph}c'mon. Melinoe (Melinoe_5673): It's true, sir! I found myself in some competition-chamber in what looked to be Elysium. There Zagreus and I engaged in a full-contact battle for the hearts of our spectators! Skelly (Skelly_0750): Well that seems pretty pointless to me, kiddo, seeing as I trained you both! You are {#Emph}equally matched! {#Prev}I don't see what comparisons are even to be drawn! Melinoe (Melinoe_5674): Commander, we're nothing alike. Skelly (Skelly_0751): That's exactly what he'd say. SkellyBathHouseDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3361): Commander, would you be willing to accompany me to the Springs sometime? We could rest our weary bones a bit. Skelly (Skelly_0345): What are you gonna do, carry me? I'm required {#Emph}here{#Prev}, young one, for these Shades still require discipline! Mayhaps some other age, when all we hold dear isn't at stake... SkellyChat01 Skelly (Skelly_0012): Mayhaps you could give my disciples a little demonstration, huh? SkellyChat02 Skelly (Skelly_0013): Less discussion, more concussion here, kiddo! SkellyChat03 Skelly (Skelly_0048): Come, young one, let's see you deliver your best shot already. SkellyChat04 Skelly (Skelly_0049): Speak not, but concentrate, and strike repeatedly at me! SkellyChat05 Skelly (Skelly_0050): Patience, young one! You shall... probably get through this whole thing. SkellyChat06 Skelly (Skelly_0051): Have you come to train with me, perchance? Or merely passing through? SkellyChat07 Skelly (Skelly_0052): Less greeting, more beating, if you would be so kind? SkellyChat08 Skelly (Skelly_0092): I trust you have some damage to impart? SkellyChat09 Skelly (Skelly_0093): Pray strike me down, young one, lest I be sad. SkellyChat10 Skelly (Skelly_0094): Hold fast your questions and {#Emph}attack{#Prev}, young one! SkellyChat11 Skelly (Skelly_0095): Let us not conversate unnecessarily, though you can hit me if you want! SkellyChat12 Skelly (Skelly_0096): Have you not more important interactions to perform? SkellyChat13 Skelly (Skelly_0097): Each one of your attempts is but a step along your path. And so is hitting me. SkellyChat14 Skelly (Skelly_0098): Pray focus on your path, or mayhaps beat me up a little first. SkellyChat15 Skelly (Skelly_0099): My disciples all believe in you and stuff. SkellyChat16 Skelly (Skelly_0100): Go forth, young one, and we shall keep vigil here ere you return. SkellyChat17 Skelly (Skelly_0101): Oh, these old bones are more resilient than they appear, see for yourself. SkellyChat18 Skelly (Skelly_0102): There shall be time enough for idle chat when victory is ours! SkellyChat19 Skelly (Skelly_0103): Speak with your {#Emph}weapons{#Prev}, young one, not your words! SkellyFirstMeeting Skelly (Skelly_0229): A battle lost. But this is {#Emph}war{#Prev}, young one, and you have many battles yet to come! The only question is, are you prepared to {#Emph}win? {#Prev}I'm not so sure here, so let's see you {#DialogLegendaryFormat}give me {#Prev}{#EmphLegendary}twenty! Melinoe (Melinoe_0018): Commander Schelemeus, sir. You're certain it's acceptable for me to strike you twenty times in front of all your students? Skelly (Skelly_0452): {#Emph}Dead certain. {#Prev}Now hit me with everything you got! Melinoe (Melinoe_0019_V3): As you will, sir! SkellyFishingDecline01 Melinoe (Melinoe_3360): Commander, we've restored our fishing pier! Would you mind joining me there, given all your nautical experience? Skelly (Skelly_0344): My days amongst the fishes are long gone, young one. And besides, my place is here... right in this particular spot. Though, thanks! SkellyGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_1050): Commander, though it falls to us to keep the old traditions alive, may you partake of this Nectar unburdened by the weight of its significance. Skelly (Skelly_0091): I'm most appreciative of both the offering and of the sentiment. And I summarily shall do my part: {#Emph}Behold! {#Prev}The luckiest of my possessions is in {#Emph}your {#Prev}possession now! SkellyGift02 Skelly (Skelly_0046): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, the memories, young one... your brother thusly used to favor me. And for his sake and yours, I shall accept this. Now, please accept {#Emph}my {#Prev}gratitude: {#Emph}Hey, thanks! Melinoe (Melinoe_1051): You are most welcome, Commander! And {#Emph}hey thanks {#Prev}to you in turn, for your peerless insight and steadfast presence. SkellyGift03 Skelly (Skelly_0047): I'm most appreciative of your generosity. Would that I had more to give you in return besides the wisdom of my vast experience... Melinoe (Melinoe_1052): Please, sir, that is more than enough. Your disciples and I are fortunate to study under you. SkellyGift04 Skelly (Skelly_0371): I must not partake in such extravagances! For my disciples are counting on my clear-eyed counsel and undivided attention. But tell you what I'm gonna save this one for later when I'm off, OK? Melinoe (Melinoe_3484): What you call an extravagance... it must be nothing compared to the luxuries of my father's House. Yet you never want for anything. Besides the occasional hit or two. SkellyGift05 Skelly (Skelly_0389): Many a time have I been regaled with the most exquisite beverages and snacks, but never before from such a disciplined and honorable disciple such as yourself! Rest of you slackers hear {#Emph}that? {#Prev}More offerings, come on! Melinoe (Melinoe_3372): The Nectar's yours to do with as you please, sir! May it lighten the burden of responsibility you bear to all the Shades and others counting on your skill and knowledge. Skelly (Skelly_0390): Oh I'll give 'em skill and knowledge. SkellyGift06 Skelly (Skelly_0391): Look kiddo... I got to level with you. Got kind of a drinking problem over here. Stuff goes right through me! I just don't want you wasting this when you could give it to one of those other guys out there. Melinoe (Melinoe_3551): Commander, thank you for your honesty with me... I hate to think all that Nectar only served to make you ill-at-ease. You do know you don't need to drink it, right? It can be a collector's item... a reminder of your friends, and the affection that they have for you. Skelly (Skelly_0392): Affection, shmuffection, look I'm gonna keep it just this {#Emph}sixth {#Prev}time... but don't go giving any more to me, OK? Melinoe (Melinoe_3552): Yes, sir. SkellyGift07 Melinoe (Melinoe_4965): I know you don't want Nectar at this point, but what if I were to offer you Ambrosia, sir? In fact it's not even a hypothetical, so here! Skelly (Skelly_0602): Well this is a most-handsome gift, and it has left me speechless, for I have not received such {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Kudos {#Prev}since your own brother gave to me a similar reward {#Emph}long ago... Melinoe (Melinoe_4966): Truly? What was the circumstance then? Though this is no reward, merely a mark of our long-standing camaraderie. Skelly (Skelly_0603): The circumstance was that the boyo had repeatedly made use of me for target practice at around that time, so the Ambrosia was in recompense. Melinoe (Melinoe_4967): I see... SkellyGift08 Melinoe (Melinoe_4968): You've served as target practice for me far more times than I can easily recall, sir. So I wish for you to have this Ambrosia as a token of my gratitude. No one else would be so willing! Skelly (Skelly_0604): {#Emph}Damn right {#Prev}no one else would be so willing! I've been in this profession longer than anybody, you've never seen me so much as move a {#Emph}muscle{#Prev}, have you? Melinoe (Melinoe_4969): Well you {#Emph}have {#Prev}no muscle, as far as I can see, Commander. But I know you've long served my family with honor, and such loyalty is never to be taken for granted. Skelly (Skelly_0605): I'll tell you what, not everybody thinks like {#Emph}you{#Prev}, kiddo. A lot of guys I've met, they pay you for a job, and that's the end of it, no {#Emph}loyalty{#Prev}, no long-term prospects, or stability... Melinoe (Melinoe_4970): Mere mercenary work. Skelly (Skelly_0606): Totally. SkellyGift09 Melinoe (Melinoe_4971): To the honorable Commander Schelemeus, ward of the bloodline of Hades, the Fate-appointed regent of the Underworld: May this Ambrosia forever guarantee your service, for as long as you are willing to provide it! Skelly (Skelly_0607): Hey wait did you just grant me {#DialogLegendaryFormat}tenure {#Prev}in the family's name, kiddo? Can you even {#Emph}do {#Prev}that, and also... {#Emph}why? Melinoe (Melinoe_4972): I'm Princess of the Underworld; I'm well within my right. And as for why, I said before that I do not take loyalty for granted. I wanted you to know I meant it. Skelly (Skelly_0608): Look I didn't really think you were gonna replace me or anything, but... it means a lot you'd do all that for me. I know I helped teach you to hit real hard, kiddo... but I never thought you'd get me right in the heart... Melinoe (Melinoe_4973): Thank you for everything, Commander. Skelly (Skelly_0609): Just doing what they pay me for. Melinoe (Melinoe_4974): You're being paid for this? Skelly (Skelly_0610): {#Emph}...No. SkellyHintArmor01 Skelly (Skelly_0482): Take heed whensoever you observe some bozo with what looks to be a {#DialogLegendaryFormat}yellow barrier {#Prev}around 'em! Ere you punch through their armored protection, they can punch right back! Melinoe (Melinoe_4167): I've never been able to make an armored foe so much as flinch from one of my strikes. Skelly (Skelly_0483): That's perfectly normal, happens to all of us. SkellyHintBones01 Skelly (Skelly_0376): With experience, one develops knacks for certain things, and one of {#Emph}my {#Prev}knacks is detecting {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Bones{#Prev}, all shapes and sizes and in varied quantities, and kiddo: {#Emph}You {#Prev}have got {#Emph}a lot. Melinoe (Melinoe_3480): We're in the realm of the dead, Commander. Bones aren't difficult to come by, especially this close to the surface. Though... the Broker may have better use for them. Skelly (Skelly_0377): That's basically what {#Emph}I {#Prev}was gonna say! Sure maybe you could use a couple for an incantation here or there but the old {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Broker{#Prev}'s really gonna eat 'em up. Melinoe (Melinoe_3481): But I like hoarding them... SkellyHintCast01 Skelly (Skelly_0146): All your training's gonna be for naught if you don't use it in a fight. Say I'm chasing after you with a club and you want to get me to stay put. Let's see you cast a {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Circle of Binding {#Prev}over here! SkellyHintCast02 Skelly (Skelly_0484): Don't forget to use that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Cast {#Prev}of yours. Stops any bozos in their tracks! And if you give 'em the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Omega {#Prev}version... {#Emph}wham! Melinoe (Melinoe_4168): A Binding Circle has its many uses to be sure... SkellyHintChoices01 Skelly (Skelly_0453): Choose wisely, young one, ere you set forth each night! There's your {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Arcana {#Prev}at the Altar, your choice of {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Nocturnal Arms{#Prev}, your {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Keepsake{#Prev}, your {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Animal Familiar{#Prev}, I mean {#Emph}dang... Melinoe (Melinoe_3370): It's a lot to consider when you put it that way, Commander. But my objective is always clear: {#Emph}Find the Titan, slay the Titan. Free my family, free Olympus. Skelly (Skelly_0368): Well that was like four different things right there... SkellyHintDamage01 Skelly (Skelly_0444): Some of those bozos whom you run into out there are pretty tough! But your fancy {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Omega Moves {#Prev}ought to cut right through 'em as might a hot knife through butter. {#Emph}Battle getting old? {#Prev}{#DialogLegendaryItalicFormat}Press and hold. Melinoe (Melinoe_4055): Magick is to be used sparingly, in times of need. Skelly (Skelly_0445): And you {#Emph}need {#Prev}to win! SkellyHintDash01 Skelly (Skelly_0339): Being a shadowy denizen of the Underworld comes with certain perks, young one! Take, for instance, how {#DialogLegendaryFormat}when you Dash, nothing can touch you{#Prev}! Melinoe (Melinoe_3357): We are the Unseen... at one with the darkness and the dead. I can evade anything, yes. But only for a moment, and even then... I can't prevail by dodging all night long. Skelly (Skelly_0340): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, I'd do it all the time if I was you! See the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}little trail {#Prev}when you Dash? Once it snaps back, you're good to go {#Emph}again! Melinoe (Melinoe_3358): {#Emph}The shadow follows... SkellyHintDying01 Skelly (Skelly_0152): Now don't lose heart just 'cause you're getting whacked, all right? Between your {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Altar {#Prev}and that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Silver Puddle {#Prev}back there, you're going to get tougher and tougher, till {#Emph}you're {#Prev}the one doing all the whacking! Melinoe (Melinoe_2255): You mean the Silver Pool, sir. SkellyHintGrasp01 Skelly (Skelly_0337): So you have reached the limits of your {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Grasp of the Arcana{#Prev}. Happens to everyone! Just need some more of that {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Psyche {#Prev}and you'll soon be grasping for more of them Cards you got! Melinoe (Melinoe_3355): My connection to the dead, my connection to the past... and the Altar is the conduit! Commander, are you able to draw from the Arcana yourself? Skelly (Skelly_0338): Well used to be I could draw pretty good, but {#Emph}eh{#Prev}, maybe not as good as the pictures on those Cards. Melinoe (Melinoe_3356): You draw {#Emph}pictures{#Prev}, sir...? SkellyHintMana01 Skelly (Skelly_0075): The craft you seek to master takes its toll. But not for long, your magick power's gonna come right back by the time you get to the next place you're going. So {#Emph}use it{#Prev}, no point bottling it up! Melinoe (Melinoe_0575): {#Emph}Hm. SkellyHintMetaCardPoints01 Skelly (Skelly_0480): Make sure you're nabbing all the {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Ashes {#Prev}you can find out there, kiddo. Then you can smudge 'em on your Altar to unlock those fancy {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Cards{#Prev}! You'll be brawnier in no time. Melinoe (Melinoe_4166): The Arcana reveal my fullest potential... from the Ashes of the past, a possibility for the future. Skelly (Skelly_0481_B): A possibility to smack some bozos harder than before! SkellyHintProgress01 Skelly (Skelly_0448): What gives, young one, you feeling stuck? I mean you {#Emph}are {#Prev}stuck, but you're getting somewhere in the spiritual sense! Melinoe (Melinoe_4057): And where might that be, Commander...? I'm nowhere near my goal of vanquishing the Titan yet. I need to go farther. Skelly (Skelly_0449): Probably just need to {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Dash {#Prev}instead of getting hit so much, and get some more of those {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Arcana Cards{#Prev}, they'll toughen you right up! Each night is gonna go a little different, too. Melinoe (Melinoe_4058): May this one go a little better. SkellyHintResources01 Skelly (Skelly_0151): My days of running around taking stuff may be over, but yours are only beginning, kiddo! Keep your eyes peeled for stuff you can use out there, and be sure to pack the best {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Tool {#Prev}for the job. Melinoe (Melinoe_2254): You used to run around and... take stuff? SkellyHintResources02 Skelly (Skelly_0364): What ails you, young one? You have a look of consternation, which mayhaps my breadth of experience could alleviate. Go on, just spit it out! Melinoe (Melinoe_3368): Oh, Commander... I was just thinking about all the reagents I still need. Some grow in different regions, or require different tools... it's a lot to keep in mind. Skelly (Skelly_0365): But you don't gotta keep it all in mind! That {#DialogLegendaryFormat}Purple Pack {#Prev}you carry all of your stuff in, somehow... don't you got all your notes in there too?

But if you still believe destroying Chronos will make our problems go away... then what are you waiting for? Hecate (HecateField_0433): ...I shall never forgive this Titan for what he has done... to this world, your family, you, or me. Persephone (Persephone_0134): Dear Hecate... my handmaiden. Who said anything about forgiveness? I've never heard such pain in you. Last I recall, in this life... just before Chronos struck, your task was to protect our daughter at all costs... and you did...! You did! Hades (Hades_0406): ...In our moment of peril, you were the only one we could count on, esteemed Witch of the Crossroads. For that and more, you have our gratitude. For all eternity.

Melinoe (MelinoeField_5153): What now...? There is so much to be done... bringing this House to order, for one thing! Mother... Father... you've seen what was possible. Let us give Chronos one chance to make himself useful, starting with our restoration efforts. Would you grant me that? Persephone (Persephone_0135): ...Granted! We're not finished with you, Chronos. They say Time heals all wounds. Prove it. Hades (Hades_0407): ...Granted. But only this one chance. By the grace of the Princess of the Underworld. Chronos (Chronos_1472): ...You would... permit me such a chance? But I cannot change what already occurred... cannot undo the unforgivable decisions I have made. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5154): You're Time itself. We're not demanding you move backward. We're demanding you move forward. Chronos (Chronos_1527): To move forward... that is all I have ever known. Then I shall make time... both for this House... and everything. TrueEndingFinale01 Selene (Selene_0379): ...If I may briefly interrupt, we have arrived at our initial destination, everyone. Olympus is not far from here. Chronos (Chronos_1028): ...I do appreciate the ride upon your gleaming chariot, O Moon; but it is time for me to go. Perhaps my conversations with Hades have prepared me to face my other sons... Melinoe (MelinoeField_5172): We've informed Lord Uncle Zeus of what happened, and given our recommendations, though he'll have many questions for you. And ought to be expecting you by now. Remember the chance you've been given, Grandfather. Chronos (Chronos_1479_B): Time cannot forget, and ought never to be late. May Zeus at least permit me to assist you from here on, knowing there were real possibilities this all could have gone worse. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5218_B): To think that the entire flow of Time has fractured because of what occurred... Chronos (Chronos_1528): I would liken it more to a moment of self-discovery on my part! Despite my advanced age, it seems I did not know all that there is to know about myself. But then again... who does? Now, farewell. And thank you, Granddaughter. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3907): Lord Apollo! And Lady Artemis! Apollo (Apollo_0204): It's a beautiful night, Lady Selene! And {#Emph}you {#Prev}must be the esteemed Witch of the Crossroads! You've trained my cousin very well indeed, to have brought Chronos to our heights, still in one piece! Artemis (Artemis_0382): Fine, Apollo, I was incorrect for once, no need to boast. Melinoë, I may have wagered that you'd cut the Titan to ribbons sooner than you'd bring him here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3908): I know it's unimaginable, but he came here willingly. And Lord Zeus wanted to speak to him in private. Wait, does that mean... you were kicked out of your {#Emph}house? Apollo (Apollo_0205): Well we consider it a Palace, but, {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}no! No, we've been appointed to escort you to the Crossroads as a symbol of our family's unity, and come bearing a gift. Shall we be off? Selene (Selene_0381): We ride.

Zagreus (Zagreus_0293): See that? Zagreus (Zagreus_0294): There we go. Zagreus (Zagreus_0295): Too slow. Zagreus (Zagreus_0296): Come on now. Zagreus (Zagreus_0297): Bad move... Zagreus (Zagreus_0286): Tag! ZagreusBossAboutCirce01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0409): What happened to you, one of your incantations backfire or something? Last time I remember you being this small it was potentially all just a dream of mine. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4990): This is the work of the Enchantress Circe, and I'll have you know, it is entirely intentional! You won't be ridiculing me when you see how elusive I've become. Zagreus (Zagreus_0410): I didn't mean to ridicule you to begin with, although I think the Shades around here would probably enjoy a bit of verbal hostility before the main event. Come on then, {#Emph}Little Sister! ZagreusBossAboutCirce02 Zagreus (Zagreus_0406): Sister, you... {#Emph}erm... {#Prev}look, you're causing me to feel a little insecure about my height. How did you get to such a stature, or more importantly, how can I? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4989): Well, you'd have to pay a visit to the Enchantress Circe over on her remote isle, so it might be far out of your way. The effect is only temporary, though. Zagreus (Zagreus_0407): Even your voice is changed! Well, at least it's good to know I'll only feel humiliated here for the time being. Let's see what you've got, {#Emph}Little Sister. ZagreusBossAboutCrossroads01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0118): So where exactly {#Emph}are {#Prev}these Crossroads where you're from? I feel as though, as Security Specialist, I ought to have been fully disclosed by this point. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4603): Well the Crossroads are in Erebus, but simply knowing that won't help with locating the place. Have Mother and Father not informed you? Zagreus (Zagreus_0119): No. They're probably concerned that if I ever went, I'd want to stay, if {#Emph}you {#Prev}like it so much. That, or they're trying to protect your secrecy. Oh well! We can see each other {#Emph}here. ZagreusBossAboutGigaros01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0120): Not yet accustomed to the weight of Gigaros... I used to have a much wider variety of Arms at my disposal, you know! But now it seems they've been picked through. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4604): I'm quite familiar with a couple of their current bearers, at least. The Blade of the Underworld is in the capable hands of Nemesis, while the Rail of Adamant is in the... hands of Eris. Zagreus (Zagreus_0121): I happen to miss those! But I was using their Aspects for a while, so perhaps it's all as it should be. They better be well taken care of, better than {#Emph}this {#Prev}old spear. ZagreusBossAboutGigaros02 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4605): How did you get Gigaros anyhow? You never told me. Father truly just handed it over as a gift? Zagreus (Zagreus_0122): I persuaded him like you suggested! {#Emph}Father, if I'm to command respect in my role as Security Specialist, I ought to wield the authority of the House of Hades! {#Prev}He had a lot of bad memories attached to this thing, besides. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4606): From fighting against {#Emph}you...? {#Prev}While I was growing up Headmistress Hecate told me all about how you did that. Zagreus (Zagreus_0123): Now she is quite the cagey one, must have served Mother in secrecy way back when. Well if she taught you all your magick and whatnot, then she must know {#Emph}plenty! ZagreusBossAboutHomer01 Storyteller (Storyteller_0496): {#Emph}The Princess of the Dead again confronts her willful brother Zagreus, who has unlearned some of his finer fighting-skills whilst trapped in the clutches of the Titan of Time. Zagreus (Zagreus_0147): Hey it's {#Emph}you{#Prev}, old man! I was beginning to wonder where you wound up. Abandoned me for my dear sister, is that it? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4550): Wait, {#Emph}what? {#Prev}Homer's been with me all this time. How do you know each other? What did I miss...? Zagreus (Zagreus_0148): I can't even begin trying to answer that right now. {#Emph}Homer{#Prev}, you say? I should have figured he'd have such a silly name. Well let's give him {#Emph}another {#Prev}tale to tell! ZagreusBossAboutHouse01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5173): How are the Houseservants recovering, everybody back on their feet by now? I have fond memories of them... glimpses all through my childhood and growing up. Zagreus (Zagreus_0483): They have similarly kind things to say, whenever they're not bewildered by what happened. But yes, everybody's back on their feet, thanks... besides Dusa who doesn't have any. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5174): I'm glad to hear it, besides the bewilderment part. You're not officially supposed to speak of what happened, are you? But please tell Dusa and the rest I said hello. Zagreus (Zagreus_0484): You got it. And officially or not, you're getting quite the terrifying reputation! Our rumor-spreading court musician Orpheus especially enjoys the tales of dark Melinoë. I take it you're about to show off your daemonic prowess here! ZagreusBossAboutHypnosWakeUp01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0129): Hypnos recently returned to us! You've no idea how grateful he was to be back. Practically jumped right into my arms, although that might have been from abject fear. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4544): I'm uncertain whether he realized the House of Hades was out of commission for most of the time he was asleep. He left before I could explain. Do you know if he remembers the other past we saw...? Zagreus (Zagreus_0485): I think so? He's still a bit frazzled from everything... perhaps keyed up from having overslept a bit. He still loves when I return to the House in failure, keeping track of all my deaths. So if you'd like to do him another favor, here's your shot! ZagreusBossAboutKeepsake01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0135): I know that gleam... you brought my Calling Card along! So has Olympus still been as forthcoming with Boons and such now that things have cooled off a bit? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4608): Oh, I think our relatives are quite eager to ensure things remain as-is. Which seems a little strange since it's all still quite a mess... though perhaps not to the previous extent. Zagreus (Zagreus_0136): Having things remain familiar for a while sounds like quite a pleasant change of pace, now that you mention it. Hey, these vicious battles can be part of {#Emph}our {#Prev}routine! ZagreusBossAboutParents01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4548): How have Mother and Father been, and Nyx? All this must be quite an adjustment for them. Zagreus (Zagreus_0143): Oh they're all right. You're seeing Mother and Father not too infrequently yourself, as far as I've gathered. They're keeping an eye on things in Tartarus, probably in part to see {#Emph}you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4549): Or have some time alone I suppose. Meanwhile your current charge is here in Elysium, entertaining all these Shades? Zagreus (Zagreus_0144): I'd like to think of it as {#Emph}inspiring {#Prev}moreso than {#Emph}entertaining{#Prev}, but if you must ask so pointedly, then... yes. Keeping the Shades of the Underworld happy is our highest priority! Next to keeping them from getting out, of course. ZagreusBossAboutRelationships01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0145): How is it in those Crossroads, anyway? Do you have friends, more-than-friends, that sort of thing? Do tell. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4611): Oh, I suppose so, yes. Some of each. It's peaceful there. And I can see the Moon and stars under a canopy of trees... it even rains every so often. Zagreus (Zagreus_0146): {#Emph}Mm{#Prev}, getting rained on. I've heard that's unpleasant but perhaps it's nice! You didn't really get to meet my friends or more-than-friends, though who knows? We have eternity. Unless we somehow manage to kill each other here first. ZagreusBossAboutSayingLittle01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0155): You know I'm starting to worry all these Shades here think we truly get along, and that you're not the terrifying harbinger of the Underworld's vengeance you're cracked up to be. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4616): What if I glower at you like this, and demand your head, if not your soul...? Zagreus (Zagreus_0156): That works, and we can always keep our cordial little conversations nice and brief. Now face me, daemon-sister! ZagreusBossAboutSecurity01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4539): So you're back to being Security Specialist! It must be easier trying to break out of the Underworld when the gates are still flung open. Zagreus (Zagreus_0116): As a matter of fact, it is, yes! Particularly that very last part where I previously had to get past Cerberus and worse. For now it's more about surveying than escape. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4540): You call this {#Emph}surveying? {#Prev}We're in a battle nearly to the death, all for the entertainment of these bloodthirsty Shades. Zagreus (Zagreus_0117): Now, now, Sister, the Shades of Elysium are some of our most valuable and influential residents! If spilling a little blood will satisfy them, that seems like a worthy sacrifice. ZagreusBossAboutShrine01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0411): Fair warning, Sister, I am feeling very spry right now. You must have done something to the Mirror of Night. It's always made me feel more capable, but {#Emph}this {#Prev}is something else. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4991): It isn't from the Mirror, I don't think, but I can safely say it is Night-related. You make a fearsome adversary, Zagreus... imbued with the dark strength of Nyx herself. Zagreus (Zagreus_0412): Oh, you did this {#Emph}somehow. {#Prev}Well fine! One of these days or nights I ought to fire up Father's old Pact of Punishment, and make {#Emph}you {#Prev}immensely strong, and we'll see how {#Emph}you {#Prev}like it! ZagreusBossAboutSkelly01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0131): Didn't you mention that a certain Schelemeus was residing with you, wherever your secret witch encampment is? How's he doing? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4545): He's as resolute as ever, teaching our loyal Shades our ways. He also serves as a practice partner of sorts. Though, I realize I'm not supposed to speak of him... Zagreus (Zagreus_0132): {#Emph}Uh-huh. {#Prev}He probably just stands indulging in his twisted desire to be savaged by a variety of powerful weapons. Which I... now realize has started to rub off on {#Emph}me... ZagreusBossAboutSurfacePenalty01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0127): So you can just... go to the surface, and head all the way up to Olympus, and not die? I could never get very far. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4607): I owe it to a complicated incantation called {#Emph}Unraveling a Fateful Bond{#Prev}. Without that, I could not get very far either. You must have longed to see Olympus for yourself... I wonder if... Zagreus (Zagreus_0128): Hey, no need to defy the Fates on my account, Sister! I'd rather leave things be. Perhaps once the Underworld's back in business, I'll feel a stronger urge to see the mountain in all its glory, but... for now, the glory of Elysium's enough! ZagreusBossAboutThanatosAspect01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0486): Say, I know the son of Nyx and incarnate of Death to whom that rather sinister scythe belongs. As do you, in a way! I could give it back to him, rather than getting sliced? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5175): Thank you for the generous offer, but I have need of it right now. Besides, Nyx knows where to find me if her son ever needs it back. How are you and Thanatos doing lately anyhow? Zagreus (Zagreus_0487): Oh we're good. Much better now that we're not frozen in time, same for Megaera. They miss you! She says hello, while he says {#Emph}tell the Princess that she has my gratitude. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4547): Tell him I'm grateful for the scythe! ZagreusBossFirstMeeting Zagreus (Zagreus_0099): Well this is awkward. Melinoë, what are you doing here? I was just basking in the adulation of the crowd. They never tire of seeing the Champion or Champions of Elysium fall. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4237): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, hello Zagreus! Wow, this is Elysium, but I don't know what I'm doing here. Last I recall I'd picked up some sort of burning parchment from Charon's shop... Zagreus (Zagreus_0100): Oh gods... you really accepted an Infernal Contract. Read all the fine print, and still thought it was a good idea? Melinoe (MelinoeField_4238): I... can't exactly say I read all the fine print, I mean, there seemed an awful lot, and... could you perhaps summarize what I consented to? Zagreus (Zagreus_0101): A free trip to Elysium, for one...! And an exhibition match with its present Champion or Champions for another. Though exhibition does mean deadly battle in this case. You ready? Zagreus (Zagreus_0102): Let's give these Shades a show! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4239): If you insist! Zagreus (Zagreus_0103): Meet the Princess of the Underworld, everyone! ZagreusBossGrantsBondForged01 Melinoe (MelinoeField_4541): Will I ever see you again beyond the confines of this crowded competitive arena? We ought to be sharing Ambrosia, rather than trying to kill one another for sport. Zagreus (Zagreus_0124): Nobody knows but the Fates, and from what I've recently been hearing, perhaps not even them! As for the Ambrosia, you've already got a Keepsake from me, so no need! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4542): {#Emph}What? {#Prev}Nectar and Ambrosia aren't just for barter! You of everyone must understand the value of forging strong bonds with relatives, comrades, and loved ones. Zagreus (Zagreus_0125): Of course, but... we've been through quite a bit together at this point! And I've known you since before you were born. But here, we can make it official if you like! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4543): Well all right then! Now to the death? Zagreus (Zagreus_0126): To the death! Or close enough! ZagreusBossGrantsKeepsakeOutro01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0321): {#Emph}Augh... {#Prev}congratulations, Melinoë, for I have deemed you {#Emph}Blasted Strong{#Prev}. Well above {#Emph}Rather Strong {#Prev}on my scale. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4551): Thank you, Brother, I try. Do you normally even win anything when you prevail in this place? Zagreus (Zagreus_0322): ...Usually just Darkness, but... I do have something for you here. I've always wanted to give somebody one of these... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4552): A Keepsake of some sort? {#Emph}Thank you! ZagreusBossLostAgainstHim01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0149): Got you quite decisively last time as I recall, Sister, so I am mildly surprised you'd dare to show your face again in such a competitive environment. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4612): I'm accustomed to the occasional setback here and there. What about you? You've been trapped in Time. That can't be good for your physical and mental acuity. Zagreus (Zagreus_0150): I don't know, it's like I didn't miss a beat! Though why don't {#Emph}you {#Prev}be the judge of my {#Emph}physical and mental acuity {#Prev}in just a moment here. ZagreusBossMiscDefeat01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0329): {#Emph}Augh...! {#Prev}All right, all right, you win this round... and I should go! ZagreusBossMiscDefeat02 Zagreus (Zagreus_0330): {#Emph}Guh...! {#Prev}Well, I think it's time I made my dramatic exit... {#Emph}heh... ZagreusBossMiscDefeat03 Zagreus (Zagreus_0331): {#Emph}Ungh...! {#Prev}Would you... look at the time... ZagreusBossMiscDefeat04 Zagreus (Zagreus_0332): {#Emph}Augh...! {#Prev}I forgot... something I need... back at the House... ZagreusBossMiscDefeat05 Zagreus (Zagreus_0333): {#Emph}Eugh... {#Prev}well go get Chronos then... or Typhon... either one... ZagreusBossMiscDefeat06 Zagreus (Zagreus_0334): {#Emph}Augh...! {#Prev}Enjoy... the many benefits... of membership... ZagreusBossMiscDefeat07 Zagreus (Zagreus_0335): {#Emph}Guh... {#Prev}the Shades... they love... a bit of drama... {#Emph}heh. ZagreusBossMiscDefeat08 Zagreus (Zagreus_0336): {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, I'm fine, I'm... just a little winded... that's all...! ZagreusBossMiscDefeat09 Zagreus (Zagreus_0337): {#Emph}Augh... {#Prev}I ought to... learn some magick... for myself... ZagreusBossMiscDefeat10 Zagreus (Zagreus_0338): {#Emph}Ow{#Prev}, you are a nightmare, let me tell you... not a witch... ZagreusBossMiscStart01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0176): All right, Little Sister, let's give these Shades of Elysium a match to remember! ZagreusBossMiscStart02 Zagreus (Zagreus_0177): Know that if you {#Emph}do {#Prev}beat me it's because I'm going easy on you, all right? ZagreusBossMiscStart03 Zagreus (Zagreus_0178): As much as I'm glad to see you, this attempt {#Emph}was {#Prev}going so well till you showed up... ZagreusBossMiscStart04 Zagreus (Zagreus_0179): We're much alike in that you, too, seem to enjoy accepting Contracts without reading them. ZagreusBossMiscStart05 Zagreus (Zagreus_0180): Your magick against my spear. Father's spear. You know what I mean. ZagreusBossMiscStart06 Zagreus (Zagreus_0181): We'll have to catch up sometime without all the violence, but for now? ZagreusBossMiscStart07 Zagreus (Zagreus_0182): I've fought through Elysium way too many times to back down now. ZagreusBossMiscStart08 Zagreus (Zagreus_0183): Our paths have crossed again, Sister! And our weapons are about to. ZagreusBossMiscStart09 Zagreus (Zagreus_0184): Brothers and sisters often fight like this as far as I'm aware. ZagreusBossMiscStart10 Zagreus (Zagreus_0186): Don't hold back against me now. The crowd won't have it! ZagreusBossMiscStart11 Zagreus (Zagreus_0187): Just be thankful you're not fighting the previous Champion. ZagreusBossMiscStart12 Zagreus (Zagreus_0188): Well, Shades? Looks like we have a special exhibition match! ZagreusBossMiscStart13 Zagreus (Zagreus_0189): How do you always show up right in my moment of glory? ZagreusBossMiscStart14 Zagreus (Zagreus_0190): Oh hey Melinoë, how you're looking well! Though not for long perhaps, sorry... ZagreusBossMiscStart15 Zagreus (Zagreus_0191): You're worse than fighting Father! Don't tell him I said that. ZagreusBossMiscStart16 Zagreus (Zagreus_0193): Bring it on, Sister, I can do this all day. Night? Whenever! ZagreusBossMiscStart17 Zagreus (Zagreus_0194): Come show me what the esteemed Schelemeus taught you. ZagreusBossMiscStart18 Zagreus (Zagreus_0195): Always a welcome break from my routine, Sister! Mostly. ZagreusBossMiscStart19 Zagreus (Zagreus_0203): Always a pleasure, Sister! Especially when I don't lose. ZagreusBossMiscStart20 Zagreus (Zagreus_0204): Far be it from me to disappoint all these expectant Shades, Sister! ZagreusBossOutro01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0106): ...{#Emph}Oof! {#Prev}You did not hold back at all, there. Blast... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4241): Zagreus, are you all right? I wasn't certain whether this was meant to be more for show or for real. Zagreus (Zagreus_0107): ...I have to assume you decided {#Emph}for real {#Prev}was the way to go. Anyway, if anybody asks, I went easy on my little sister! Now if you'll excuse me, I, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, lost a little blood... ZagreusBossOutro03 Zagreus (Zagreus_0323): {#Emph}Oof... {#Prev}I didn't... bring you any other prizes... for your victory... Melinoe (MelinoeField_4553): That's all right. I still have the Contract as an added benefit. Free goods from Charon's Shop is nothing to scoff at! Zagreus (Zagreus_0324): ...I'm glad... you feel... that way, I... ought to head on back... ZagreusBossWonAgainstHim01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0152): There came a point in my Security Specialist career where my victories became too numerous to count! So... thanks for last time, reminding me about defeat! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4614): You're very welcome. And likewise have my own defeats become a little less common recently. Though I don't know where that leaves us... somebody always has to lose here? Zagreus (Zagreus_0153): The Shades would never tolerate it any other way. Well let's make this a victory-or-defeat to never forget! ZagreusEndingGreeting.VoiceLines Zagreus (Zagreus_0084): Hey... ZagreusPastFirstMeeting Zagreus (Zagreus_0008): {#Emph}Erm... {#Prev}is my hair getting lighter and my features getting fairer, or did I consume something that really isn't sitting well...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3425): Prince Zagreus, please listen to my voice! Can you hear me? Can you {#Emph}hear {#Prev}me? Zagreus (Zagreus_0009): ...Definitely something I consumed, then. Or else... {#Emph}oh {#Prev}this is just a dream...! Hypnos {#Emph}has {#Prev}been growing rather bold with these! Is that you in there, mate? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3426): No, I... look, yes, technically this is a dream. But it's the only way I could reach out to you across the span of Time! Now, {#Emph}please! {#Prev}Our family is in danger, and I need your aid! Zagreus (Zagreus_0010): All right, all right, slow down! It's fortunate I rather {#Emph}like {#Prev}such realistic dreams. And what do you mean {#Emph}our family? {#Prev}Who {#Emph}are {#Prev}you? Probably one of Mother's many cousins. Wouldn't explain the eyes, though. Or my father's sigil on your outfit... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3427): Let me speak! Look, this is going to be difficult for you to accept, but... I'm Melinoë... your sister. From another time; a future time, not all that distant from your own! Zagreus (Zagreus_0011): ...See, that was going to be my next guess. Well, dream-sister-from-a-future-time? I would never want to snap awake before hearing you out, so what's the situation? What do you want me to do...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3428): I want you to find our grandfather Chronos, and destroy him! Because there's only so much I can do here myself. He's taken over your entire House...! Imprisoned our father, Mother, you, {#Emph}everybody...! {#Prev}And now he threatens Olympus. All as vengeance for what the gods once did. Zagreus (Zagreus_0012): ...Right. When you say {#Emph}what the gods once did{#Prev}, you mean the part where they got rid of Chronos permanently, long before I was ever born? Or {#Emph}you {#Prev}for that matter. But in the not-all-that-distant future, he returns, and single-handedly takes over everything...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3429): Yes. Please believe me! I myself was very little when the Titan struck, and have been training all my life in preparation for this very moment! But I cannot stop Chronos on my own. Will you aid me? Zagreus (Zagreus_0013): I'm guessing not? Since this is a dream, and I'll likely just forget about it soon as I wake up! Also, you look and sound just like a figment of my imagination would probably look and sound. Can you {#Emph}prove {#Prev}anything you've said? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3430): You won't forget me when you wake, I promise you. As for the proof you seek... you must know of Hecate, our mother's handmaiden! She trained me for this. Seek her, and tell her what I've said — but no one else! Zagreus (Zagreus_0014): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, Sister, I'm afraid our mother {#Emph}has {#Prev}no such handmaiden... although, in some strange way you mentioning a name I've never heard is better proof than anything you've said to me thus far. Wait, what's the matter...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3431): It's Chronos! I've incapacitated him, but he'll return... just as he will eventually in your own time. I need to go... before he finds me here, I need to go! Zagreus (Zagreus_0015): But you just got here! Look... Melinoë, was it? Will I ever see you again, or was this more of a one-off? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3432): I found you across dreams and time, Brother. I'll stop at nothing to do it again! Until then, please, let this remain a secret between us. Zagreus (Zagreus_0016): ...Great, I can't even tell Hypnos. Well, suit yourself! See you another day, Sister. Or night...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3433): Till then! ZagreusPastMeeting02 Zagreus (Zagreus_0019): Just as I'm about to get my hair under control! Who are you, and what have you done with my reflection...? Only joking. I remembered everything just as you said. Particularly since you're here again so soon. Where were we? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3437): I was trying to persuade you to take me at my word that I'm your sister from a future time, in which the Titan Chronos has usurped the House of Hades. I mean to stop him, and require your assistance. Zagreus (Zagreus_0020): I have a wide variety of questions first, even knowing that our time apparently is limited. First off, why {#Emph}me? {#Prev}Although I {#Emph}am {#Prev}the designated Security Specialist around here, so perhaps I know the answer to that one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3438): Some Security Specialist. Chronos caught the House entirely off guard! But you're my closest kin, you've subverted the will of the Fates before, and slain gods, if not Titans... I also lack the means of reaching anybody else this way. Zagreus (Zagreus_0021): Well, great! I feel that strong kinship between us already. Next question: Where even {#Emph}is {#Prev}this Chronos, and what would you have me do if and when I locate him? A two-parter for you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5208): I don't know where Chronos is exactly, in your time, though I do have a lead: His remains were scattered to the deepest pits of Tartarus, which means he's probably recovering below where you reside. As for what to do if you can locate him... nothing as yet. We'll get to that. Zagreus (Zagreus_0022): {#Emph}Erm{#Prev}, I hate to break it to you, Melinoë, but this isn't all that comprehensive a plan. Especially for something you've been planning all your life. Do I just wait for you to work through the details, or...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3440): No! Look. You're Security Specialist! Begin an investigation, though in absolute secrecy. Is anything amiss anywhere in the House, or in Tartarus? Any unusual activity from Satyrs, for example? Zagreus (Zagreus_0023): We've had our share of Satyr problems, though not anywhere nearby. But I can have a look around. What about you...? Wait, are you in my {#Emph}bedchambers? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3441): What's left of them, yes! I can only reach you like this while we're in the same location across Time. At any rate... I have to find the means for you to destroy the Titan there before he regains his full strength. But... blast. Zagreus (Zagreus_0024): What is it, do you have to go again? Then don't wait up on my account. I'll see what I can do and speak to you when next you haunt my dreams. Take care, Sister! We'll sort this out. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3442): You make it sound so effortless... farewell, Brother. Until we see each other next. ZagreusPastMeeting02_2 Zagreus (Zagreus_0438): Hi there, Melinoë! My investigation into our grandfather's scheming has begun, though difficult to make good progress without telling anybody what I'm up to. Don't take this the wrong way, but... this truly is your only idea? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5046): Yes. I don't think I can stop Chronos here. Even Olympus is stuck trying to keep his forces at bay. And he's far too hateful and hard-headed to stop on his own. Zagreus (Zagreus_0425): That's our family for you. Father certainly has no love for Chronos but he never speaks of him. Do you... happen to know what went over between them, to have made things this bad? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5047): You're in a better position to ask our father about that than I am. Chronos was a tyrant, and his children wouldn't have it! The Fates themselves deemed that the gods should rule! But that apparently wasn't enough for him. Zagreus (Zagreus_0426): So now you want me to stop him for you. I mean, for {#Emph}us. {#Prev}I've had mixed experiences vanquishing certain members of our family before, but... that wasn't {#Emph}forever. {#Prev}And you've said next to nothing about how you expect me to do it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5048): Look... I have knowledge of an incantation known as Dissolution of Time. It requires several complicated steps I shall explain along the way. If it works... it should unravel him. Zagreus (Zagreus_0427): {#Emph}Unravel him. {#Prev}That's a little vague for me, unless Chronos turns out to be a spool of yarn. Can you be more specific? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5049): {#Emph}Unmake him. {#Prev}Destroy his ambitions along with him. Undo all the harm he caused. A threefold family bond is required: you, me, and Chronos. Then we shall infuse a special weapon with the negation of his very being... I'll get into that later. Zagreus (Zagreus_0428): ...Well great I think you cleared everything up. Though I'll admit I don't like having to kill off family members just because Father doesn't know how to get along with them. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5050): You would blame Father in all this? {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, blast... Chronos is starting to revive. I have to go. Keep searching for any sign of him! And remember, this is for all of us! Zagreus (Zagreus_0429): I will, and... I understand, I think. We didn't ask to be born into this but it's what we got. We'll handle it as best we can. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5051): That's right. Thank you, Brother. Take care of yourself... and be kind to Mother, Father, Cerberus, and all, for me. ZagreusPastMeeting03 Zagreus (Zagreus_0028): Hello again, Sister. You wanted me to search for signs of Chronos preparing for a big surprise, and... while it isn't much... I {#Emph}did {#Prev}locate machinery in Tartarus that seemed a little out-of-place. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3443): Machinery... you mean the gears that turn the ever-shifting chambers. In my time, that machinery has spread through Tartarus as far as I can see. What do you make of it? Zagreus (Zagreus_0029): Well... normally I wouldn't have made anything of it, but perhaps it's connected to what you're saying. I'm working on tracing where it leads. What about you, any word about how we ought to proceed? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3444): We need a weapon. The problem is that Chronos can resist the Arms once used to vanquish him. On top of that, it needs to be available both to you in your time, and to me in mine. The closer to our family the better. Can you think of something suitable? Zagreus (Zagreus_0030): ...Nothing immediately comes to mind. I have some mortal weapons in my chambers but they hardly worked at any point. A weapon both in my time and in yours... and none of the Infernal Arms will do... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3445): Give it some thought, but please make haste. Chronos shall realize what I am up to here eventually, and this connection weakens every night. For now I'd better go. Zagreus (Zagreus_0439): Hold on! What happened to the servants of this House... to my friends? Loves of my life? You said Chronos took everybody. Did you mean {#Emph}everybody{#Prev}-everybody, or...? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3446): Well... no, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, Hypnos is with us, but fast asleep. Commander Schelemeus, too; he's marshaling the Shades still loyal to our father. Poor Cerberus has been cast out into the Mourning Fields. But as for all the rest... Zagreus (Zagreus_0032): Oh, at least the good {#Emph}Commander Schelemeus {#Prev}made it out. But Nyx, Achilles, Thanatos, Megaera, Dusa, Orpheus... our grandfather has all of them locked up? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3447): He has our father bound in chains in Tartarus. I understand he's trapped the others... frozen them in Time. But we can break his hold on them. I'm certain that we can. Goodbye for now, Brother! Think of a weapon we can use to set this right. ZagreusPastMeeting04 Zagreus (Zagreus_0036): ...{#Emph}Gigaros. {#Prev}My father's spear. You said that we would need a weapon that's available in both our times, is close to our family, and not been used to slay Chronos before. That one should do. It's big... and it hurts. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5103): {#Emph}Huh... {#Prev}I see how that may work. Unfortunately, I've no idea where to find this Gigaros; Chronos may have gotten hold of it. But that's in my time... while in {#Emph}yours... Zagreus (Zagreus_0037): {#Emph}Eh{#Prev}, Father doesn't often let me use it anyway, and it's sealed off in his chambers. There must be something else. Though, at least I found the place where Chronos probably is piecing himself back together little by little! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3449): You did? Where, what happened? How do you know it's the correct location? Zagreus (Zagreus_0038): Well for one thing, it appears to be directly underneath this House! Odd place to bury one's predecessor, but Father {#Emph}can {#Prev}be quite particular with punishments. Anyway when I descended deeper into Tartarus, I found a Satyr infestation that led me to some sort of cave. I went no farther for now. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3450): Good. And do not enter until everything's prepared. But let's go back a moment to our father's spear. Is there some way you could procure it? Zagreus (Zagreus_0489): Sure. Father keeps it locked away, though no Security Specialist of any worth would be so easily deterred! I'm risking an eternity of torment, but sounds like Chronos has that in store for me regardless. So... what shall I do with Gigaros assuming I can get my hands on it? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5104): Leave it here in your chambers for me to find. Could you persuade our father to give it to you, without letting him know exactly why? If we tamper too much with Time, Chronos shall find out. I don't need its physical form, only its essence sent across our astral-psychic gateway. Zagreus (Zagreus_0441): Details, details, Sister! I like unreasonable challenges, and Father owes me anyway. So are you some sort of oracle, gathering up ancient artifacts, speaking to me in dreams and such? Perhaps these count as nightmares, what with the terrible future to look forward to. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3452): We'll change that future. And I'm no oracle; I'm what you call a Witch. We're getting closer to our goal, Brother. Claim Father's spear, and I have more to do myself. I'll see you again soon. ZagreusPastMeeting04_2 Zagreus (Zagreus_0444): Good news, Sister! It took some doing but I managed to persuade our father to let me hang onto his favored spear a while. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5105): You did? That's great! But, where is it? I found no trace of any such weapon when I passed through here. Zagreus (Zagreus_0445): ...I have it secure, except... I felt a little hesitant about handing it over. Or however you mean to get hold of it across this astral-psychic-whatever-you-call-it. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5106): Zagreus... I need that spear. {#Emph}We {#Prev}need that spear. What misgivings could you possibly be having now? Zagreus (Zagreus_0446): Melinoë... you're asking me to permanently slay a member of our family whom I've never even met. I know it's important... but that doesn't mean I want to go through with it. I don't even know if I can. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5108): Of {#Emph}course {#Prev}you can! What do you mean, you don't {#Emph}want {#Prev}to go through with it? We're the children of the Underworld King and Queen! We do what is required of us! Not merely what we desire. Zagreus (Zagreus_0447): You sound just like Father. There was a time I never could communicate with him either and I sorely wished that he was dead and gone. I'm glad I never had the capability... I might have used it then. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5109): I sound just like Father? {#Emph}Good! {#Prev}Yet there you go, comparing him to Chronos once again. Just because they're related doesn't make them {#Emph}anything {#Prev}alike. Nor is this situation remotely similar to the one you were in! Zagreus (Zagreus_0448): Oh, I don't know! My situation also involved family members desperately trying to kill each other! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5110): We're trying to {#Emph}prevent {#Prev}that! {#Emph}Ungh{#Prev}, blast. We'll discuss this more another night. I can't force you to cooperate with me, but I {#Emph}can {#Prev}haunt your dreams! Zagreus (Zagreus_0449): Well it's a good thing I'm susceptible to threats! This was a lovely chat. See you some other nap-time, then? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5209): Count on it! And mark you my words, we're going to {#Emph}fix {#Prev}this situation! We're not going to let our family fall apart! ZagreusPastMeeting04_3 Zagreus (Zagreus_0454): Oh hi, Sister. Back to haunt my dreams some more? I didn't like where we left off, arguing over our relatives and our duty. Besides, Father always says no fighting in this House. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5112): I didn't feel good about it either, and... I couldn't help thinking about what you said. I know you were being honest with me about your concerns. All this must be so much to take in. Zagreus (Zagreus_0455): Believe me I'm absorbing it as quickly as I can. We have this sinister grandfather who's resorted to all-out war against the rest of the family! One way or another... he needs to be stopped. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5113): That's right. And I've been trained in how to stop him, though unfortunately it requires you to do some of the dirty-work. The worst of it, in fact. I... can understand why you would be reluctant. Zagreus (Zagreus_0456): So what do we do? Say we proceed as planned. I get Gigaros to you, you do something to it, I use it to destroy Chronos in {#Emph}my {#Prev}time before he takes control in yours... then, everything would be all right? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5114): Well I assume so, yes! We can't anticipate exactly what shall happen in a world without Time, but it's existed in that state before... and can't be worse than letting him prevail. Zagreus (Zagreus_0458): But if Chronos is gone... what happens to you? You're here because of everything he did. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5115): No! If Chronos hadn't taken Father's throne, we'd be together as a family! He denied me a father, a mother, a three-headed dog... {#Emph}you! {#Prev}And some evening he'll deny you that and more if we don't act. Zagreus (Zagreus_0459): {#Emph}OK! {#Prev}OK. It's just... it turns out I have a sister, and I don't want to lose her over this is all. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5116): I don't want to lose you either, Zagreus. I want you back. You and all the rest. Zagreus (Zagreus_0460): ...Well then... I... better get you Father's spear. I'll have it for you next we meet. I promise. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5117): Thanks, Brother. Leave Gigaros in your chambers for me, and we'll go from there. For all our sakes. ZagreusPastMeeting05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_5121): Zagreus, you did it...! I found the traces of Gigaros here, which should be what I need for what comes next. Zagreus (Zagreus_0462): Right. So, now I wait for you to contact me again, once you've infused our father's spear with some temporal nightmare curse, and... I'll descend into Grandfather's fetid lair where I'll drive said spear into his heart? Something like that? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5122): Whatever it takes. But... I've been giving this a lot of thought, and... there's an alternative I wanted to propose. You said before you've never even met Chronos. Let's say you find him in his fetid lair. What are the outcomes then? Zagreus (Zagreus_0463): Well, let's see. One, I could murder him as we discussed. Two, I could fail miserably in the attempt. Or three, we hit it off, have a rousing conversation, and become best mates? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5210): My thoughts as well, more or less. Bear with me, but... what if, prior to striking, you first took that latter course? Got to know him. Endeared yourself to him, if possible. Zagreus (Zagreus_0464): Wait, what? We'd have ourselves a nice grandson-to-grandfather chat? I could invite him to the House for a bottle of Ambrosia! He's been festering awhile; perhaps he's keen for company. You're serious. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5124): I am, but... he's been festering for far too long... and very bitter that our family broke ties with him. His ambitions likely can't be changed, even in your time. Though if nothing else, perhaps you can use such knowledge against him. Zagreus (Zagreus_0465): ...You really {#Emph}do {#Prev}mean he and I should have a chat. So we become best mates, what then? Oh... {#Emph}huh. {#Prev}He wouldn't take over the House. He wouldn't have to! But, Father would absolutely lose his mind if he sees him again... Melinoe (MelinoeField_5125): Take Chronos in as prisoner! As Security Specialist, it ought to be within your right. He probably is far too proud to go quietly, but... it's a chance. Zagreus (Zagreus_0466): Well, why not? He hasn't met {#Emph}me{#Prev}, right? Or {#Emph}you {#Prev}for that matter. And he can't be harder to talk to than Father. I like this plan, Sister! More than the kill-on-sight version, at least. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5126): Good. But I need assurances that if the conversation does not go the way you wish, you will not hesitate to run him through. Zagreus (Zagreus_0467): Then, here are those assurances: If I meet him, can't get through to him, don't like him, and determine he's a threat to you and all of us... I'll kill him. Then and there. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5211): I believe you. All my life, I had this task... {#Emph}Death to Chronos. {#Prev}But that was never the goal in its entirety... moreso the means to stop him, and for retribution. If there's another way to set this right... it's worth a shot. Zagreus (Zagreus_0468): Agreed. Well, then... I'd better brush up on my spearwork just in case. Besides, the sooner I wear myself out, the sooner I'll be able to get right back to sleep and see you again. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5128): Be ready. Preparing Gigaros may take a little while, and... I may have difficulty reaching you until such time. But I'll return. Till then, be well, Zagreus. Big brother. ZagreusPastMeeting06 Zagreus (Zagreus_0052): Melinoë! You've returned. You've no idea how much difficulty I had falling asleep so I could see you here again. So what's the word, have you prepared the spear? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5129): Take hold of Gigaros, and we'll find out. You'll have to go immediately to where Chronos resides. Speak to him, but do not mention me at all, as I've not yet been born. I'll be counting on you to succeed. Zagreus (Zagreus_0469): And the plan is... once I find him... either we become best mates, or else it's {#Emph}Death to Chronos {#Prev}like you said. Do you... do you truly think there's any possibility he comes around? That I won't have to kill him? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5187): Knowing there are infinite possibilities... then I suppose so, yes. But I'm so angry with him still, and frightened about what may come to pass. He's taken so much from me, from all of us, and yet... he wants his family back, too. One way or another, he'll get what's coming. We all will. Zagreus (Zagreus_0470): ...All right. But we're getting {#Emph}your {#Prev}family back, not just {#Emph}his! Whew{#Prev}, this is a lot. To think this spear of Father's has the power to destroy a deathless Titan. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5131): It shall in just a moment, so hold it close. {#Emph}May Earth and Night and Darkness hear me now: Bring true death to the deathless by my vow. Dissolution of Time! Zagreus (Zagreus_0055): ...Gigaros... it's grown hot to the touch... but feels much lighter than before as well! I suppose I should be careful not to prod somebody with it... besides Chronos. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3886): Go, Zagreus. I've done everything I can here. And we'll see each other again. Some other time than this, perhaps, but still. For now, farewell. Chronos (Chronos_0967): Who goes there?! You lack the clopping of the Satyr's hooves, and have a countenance which I know not. Zagreus (Zagreus_0471): You must be Grandfather. I don't believe we've had the pleasure, I'm called Zagreus. I got a tip about your quite-suspicious cavern and decided to go take a look. What are you doing here, if I may ask? Chronos (Chronos_0968): {#Emph}Recuperating! {#Prev}What else would I possibly be doing in a place such as this? So I suppose Hades is to thank for this new grandchild of mine. I never thought that I would see the age when he became a father for himself. Zagreus (Zagreus_0472_B): Oh, he's a {#Emph}wonderful {#Prev}father, if you must know! My sole disappointment is that I'm an only child. But he and my dear mother Persephone the Underworld Queen truly love each other, so... down the line, one can hope! Chronos (Chronos_0969): Why are you telling me all this? Answer immediately, lest my Satyrs tear you to shreds! Where {#Emph}are {#Prev}those blasted Satyrs anyhow...? Zagreus (Zagreus_0473): Grandfather... I'm telling you all this because I thought I'd make a little small talk here before I have to do you in. If you would bring pain and suffering upon my House, as our designated Security Specialist, I cannot allow that. Chronos (Chronos_0970): {#Emph}Pah! {#Prev}What would you know of my intent? You dare speak to me of pain and suffering? Here I have rotted since an aeon prior to when you were but a twinkle in your father's eye! He and his brothers, traitors and usurpers! Zagreus (Zagreus_0474): They're your children... Father and I also used to fight. He'd grown isolated from Olympus, and Persephone, and me. It didn't do him any good. What about you? We've only met! Are you prepared to sweep me into your old grudge? Chronos (Chronos_1459): If necessary, {#Emph}yes{#Prev}, of {#Emph}course! {#Prev}Your father and his brothers surely have already poisoned you and your entire generation against me! Zagreus (Zagreus_0475): Would I be speaking to you if that were the case? Here's the arrangement: Either come along quietly to a little surprise family reunion... or take this spear repeatedly. And you won't soon recuperate, I swear. Which is it going to be? Chronos (Chronos_1460): ...You, who threaten me with annihilation, have not experienced a world without Time! You would come to dearly miss my influence! Nor shall I be shamed and ridiculed before my kin... what would you have me do, when they look upon me?! Zagreus (Zagreus_0476): Oh I don't know, perhaps just act like you're my grandfather, rather than sneaking underneath the House in some sort of profane chamber I ought have known about? You're Time. Why don't you extrapolate a bit? Chronos (Chronos_1304): Extrapolate {#Emph}what... {#Prev}a joy-filled life in which Grandfather Time is there to coddle the spoiled child of my rancorous son? Hades shall drive that accursed spear through me on sight if you do not! Zagreus (Zagreus_0110): No, because you'll be under my protection. And also, no, it won't just be a joy-filled life, especially if you keep on. But it'll probably be better than whatever {#Emph}this {#Prev}is! Now make your choice already. I don't have all day or night. Chronos (Chronos_1305): {#Emph} {#Prev}So then, a future with such grandchildren as you, or the eternal void... how can I possibly decide...? ZagreusPastMeeting06_B Zagreus (Zagreus_0451): Hey, Sister! I know you might be ready to proceed with whatever you plan to do with Gigaros, but... I'm not. After I left it for you, I... started feeling some regrets. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5186): All this must be so much to take in... I've been giving this a lot of thought, and... there's an alternative I wanted to propose. You said before you've never even met Chronos. Let's say you find him in his fetid lair. What are the outcomes then? Zagreus (Zagreus_0463): Well, let's see. One, I could murder him as we discussed. Two, I could fail miserably in the attempt. Or three, we hit it off, have a rousing conversation, and become best mates? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5123): My thoughts as well, more or less. Bear with me but, what if... you {#Emph}could {#Prev}become best mates, as you say? Zagreus (Zagreus_0464): Wait, what? We'd have ourselves a nice grandson-to-grandfather chat? I could invite him to the House for a bottle of Ambrosia! He's been festering awhile; perhaps he's keen for company. You're serious. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5124): I am, but... he's been festering for far too long... and very bitter that our family broke ties with him. His ambitions likely can't be changed, even in your time. Though if nothing else, perhaps you can use such knowledge against him. Zagreus (Zagreus_0465): ...You really {#Emph}do {#Prev}mean he and I should have a chat. So we become best mates, what then? Oh... {#Emph}huh. {#Prev}He wouldn't take over the House. He wouldn't have to. But, Father would absolutely lose his mind if he sees him again... Melinoe (MelinoeField_5125): Take Chronos in as prisoner! As Security Specialist, it ought to be within your right. He probably is far too proud to go quietly, but... it's a chance. Zagreus (Zagreus_0466): Well, why not? He hasn't met {#Emph}me{#Prev}, right? Or {#Emph}you {#Prev}for that matter. And he can't be harder to talk to than Father. I like this plan, Sister! More than the kill-on-sight version, at least. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5126): Good. But I need assurances that if the conversation does not go the way you wish, you will not hesitate to run him through. Zagreus (Zagreus_0467): Then, here are those assurances: If I meet him, can't get through to him, don't like him, and determine he's a threat to you and all of us... I'll kill him. Then and there. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5127): I believe you. All my life, I had this task... {#Emph}Death to Chronos. {#Prev}But that was never the goal... only the means. If there's another way that works for all of us... it's worth a shot. Zagreus (Zagreus_0469): And the plan is... once I find him... either we become best mates... or else it's {#Emph}Death to Chronos {#Prev}like you said. Do you... do you truly think there's any possibility he comes around? That I won't have to kill him? Melinoe (MelinoeField_5130): Knowing there are infinite possibilities... then I suppose so, yes. But I'm so angry with him still, and frightened about what may come to pass. He's taken so much from me, from all of us, and yet... he wants his family back, too. So go to him. One way or another, he'll get what's coming. We all will. Zagreus (Zagreus_0470): ...All right. But we're getting {#Emph}your {#Prev}family back, not just {#Emph}his! Whew{#Prev}, this is a lot. To think this spear of Father's has the power to destroy a deathless Titan. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5131): It shall in just a moment, so hold it close. {#Emph}May Earth and Night and Darkness hear me now: Bring true death to the deathless by my vow. Dissolution of Time! Zagreus (Zagreus_0055): ...Gigaros... it's grown hot to the touch... but feels much lighter than before as well! I suppose I should be careful not to prod somebody with it... besides Chronos. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3886): Go, Zagreus. I've done everything I can here. And we'll see each other again. Some other time than this, perhaps, but still. For now, farewell. Chronos (Chronos_0967): Who goes there?! You lack the clopping of the Satyr's hooves, and have a countenance which I know not. Zagreus (Zagreus_0471): You must be Grandfather. I don't believe we've had the pleasure, I'm called Zagreus. I got a tip about your quite-suspicious cavern and decided to go take a look. What are you doing here, if I may ask? Chronos (Chronos_0968): {#Emph}Recuperating! {#Prev}What else would I possibly be doing in a place such as this? So I suppose Hades is to thank for this new grandchild of mine. I never thought that I would see the age when he became a father for himself. Zagreus (Zagreus_0472): Oh, he's a {#Emph}wonderful {#Prev}father, if you must know! My sole disappointment is that I'm an only child. But he and my dear mother Persephone the Underworld Queen truly love each other, so... down the line, one can hope! Chronos (Chronos_0969): Why are you telling me all this? Answer immediately, lest my Satyrs tear you to shreds! Where {#Emph}are {#Prev}those blasted Satyrs anyhow...? Zagreus (Zagreus_0473): Grandfather... I'm telling you all this because I thought I'd make a little small talk here before I have to do you in. If you would bring pain and suffering upon my House, as our designated Security Specialist, I cannot allow that. Chronos (Chronos_0970): {#Emph}Pah! {#Prev}What would you know of my intent? You dare speak to me of {#Emph}pain and suffering? {#Prev}Here I have rotted since an aeon prior to when you were but a twinkle in your father's eye! He and his brothers, traitors and usurpers! Zagreus (Zagreus_0474): They're your children... Father and I also used to fight. He'd grown isolated from Olympus, and Persephone, and me. Didn't do him any good. What about you? We've only met! Are you prepared to sweep me into your old grudge? Chronos (Chronos_1459): If necessary, {#Emph}yes{#Prev}, of {#Emph}course! {#Prev}Your father and his brothers surely have already poisoned you and your entire generation against me! Zagreus (Zagreus_0475): Would I be speaking to you if that were the case? Here's the arrangement: Either come along quietly to a little surprise family reunion... or take this spear repeatedly. And you won't soon recuperate, I swear. Which is it going to be? Chronos (Chronos_1460): ...You, who threaten me with annihilation, have not experienced a world without Time! You would come to dearly miss my influence! Nor shall I be shamed and ridiculed before my kin... what would you have me do, when they look upon me?! Zagreus (Zagreus_0476): Oh I don't know, perhaps just act like you're my grandfather, rather than sneaking underneath the House in some sort of profane chamber I ought have known about? You're Time. Why don't you extrapolate a bit? Chronos (Chronos_1304): Extrapolate {#Emph}what... {#Prev}a joy-filled life in which Grandfather Time is there to coddle the spoiled child of my rancorous son? Hades shall drive that accursed spear through me on sight if you do not! Zagreus (Zagreus_0110): No, because you'll be under my protection. And also, no, it won't just be a joy-filled life, especially if you keep on. But it'll probably be better than whatever {#Emph}this {#Prev}is! Now make your choice already. I don't have all day or night. Chronos (Chronos_1305): {#Emph} {#Prev}So then, a future with such grandchildren as you, or the eternal void... how can I possibly decide...? ZagreusPastMeeting07 Zagreus (Zagreus_0059): Is that {#Emph}you{#Prev}, Melinoë? I can hardly see you anymore. Blast... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3909): Zagreus, can you hear me? {#Emph}Answer me! {#Prev}Zagreus! Zagreus (Zagreus_0060): ...I don't know what's going on with you, but I'm prepared to do my part as soon as you're prepared. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3910): It's no use. He can't hear me anymore. I have an incantation to complete, and mustn't remain here. ZagreusPastMeeting08 Zagreus (Zagreus_0064): Is that...? That's her, I think. Melinoë? Is that you? Can you hear me? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3911): I can hear you, but can you hear {#Emph}me? {#Prev}Hello, Zagreus? {#Emph}Hello? Zagreus (Zagreus_0065): ...Blast. There has to be a more dependable means of communicating across dreams and time. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3912): This is pointless. Until my incantation is complete, I don't think I'll get through to him again. ZagreusPastMeetingRepeatable01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0069): Melinoë, where are you? It's me your brother! I'm just... standing around, apparently in a dream, waiting for you to show up... {#Emph}anytime? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3913): Just hold on a little while longer, Brother... ZagreusPastMeetingRepeatable02 Zagreus (Zagreus_0071): What if something happened to her... but then I wouldn't have this dream again, would I? Unless I'm {#Emph}not. {#Prev}And I'm just standing around, staring at a mirror... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3914): He senses me but I'm unable to get through... just, wait a little while longer, Zagreus. ZagreusPastMeetingRepeatable03 Zagreus (Zagreus_0073): Am I really going to do this? Destroy our grandfather... surely it's what Father would want, and this sister of mine, too, but... {#Emph}eh{#Prev}, where is she anyway? Melinoë? Sister? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3915): I'm here, it's just... we can't communicate like this at all, until... I have to rebuild our connection. ZagreusPastMeetingRepeatable04 Zagreus (Zagreus_0076): {#Emph}Hm{#Prev}, what to do... what's keeping her? Is she all right? {#Emph}Hello...? {#Prev}Are you all right out there? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3917): I am, it's just... I need a bit more time! Just don't lose hope, and... be ready. ZagreusPastMeetingRepeatable05 Zagreus (Zagreus_0074): Keep having this odd dream... or {#Emph}nightmare{#Prev}, I don't know. Not heard from her in quite a while... Melinoe (MelinoeField_3916): I'll be back for you, Brother, I swear... just not tonight. ZagreusTrueEnding01 Zagreus (Zagreus_0085): Well, I think we can fix up the rest of this place on our own. Thank you for all your help. Especially the part where you liberated us from our temporal prisons and whatnot! Melinoe (MelinoeField_4981): Believe me, I had nothing better to do! Anyhow, we'll have to find a way to cross paths out there. And each keep an eye on Chronos as we tie up some loose ends. Zagreus (Zagreus_0488): It must be hard to even look at him after everything he did... I can't help but be glad we're all here, but that's easy for me to say, not having been locked in a lifelong conflict... Melinoe (MelinoeField_5155): I'll manage. You helped me realize there even was a path toward this outcome. As I faced Chronos in this House... I started to sense that being cut off from this family was consuming him. Zagreus (Zagreus_0490): It might have consumed him completely. Good thing we make a decent brother-sister team! Past and present, real and imagined. And now we don't even need dream-time-witch-magick to stay in touch! Melinoe (MelinoeField_5215): No, I suppose not! Feels like we've been through thick and thin together, doesn't it? Even without the memories of a wholly different and generally more-pleasant life. Right now, I'd simply settle for a calmer one. Zagreus (Zagreus_0482): Come on, you're not the settling sort. Anyway I know this isn't goodbye, and we'll be seeing each other... though, still... I'll miss you, Little Sister. And do send Hypnos back if he can't wake up on his own. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4983): He'll wake up. I'm going to miss you too, Big Brother. Take care of everyone, all right? Zagreus (Zagreus_0087): I will. You take care, too. ZeusAboutAphrodite01 Zeus (Zeus_0062): Upon my word, young lady! Such is your splendor that I near mistook you for beauteous Aphrodite herself. She has already visited with you, that much is clear. You goddesses, you wield your beauty like a {#Emph}blade! ZeusAboutApollo01 Zeus (Zeus_0059): The brightness of my fair son Apollo has illuminated you in the dark, if but for a moment, there, young lady! Would that all of my kin were equally as talented as he! ZeusAboutApollo02 Zeus (Zeus_0060): Shining Apollo has availed himself to you again, has he? Excels at just about anything he sets his mind and body to, that one! Though even he's been having a bit of trouble what with everything of late! ZeusAboutAres01 Zeus (Zeus_0095): You've yet to meet a certain son of mine, the notorious god of war? I would have expected Ares to be positively overjoyed by all that's been unfolding as of late! Such a time for him to disappear. He and I are overdue for a little {#Emph}chat. ZeusAboutArtemis01 Zeus (Zeus_0044): Where is that flighty Artemis in this? My daughter could have been assisting you, but is instead cavorting with some Forest Nymphs, I think! Would that my children all were as responsible as you. ZeusAboutAthena01 Zeus (Zeus_0043): You know, young lady, you remind me a bit of my ever-watchful daughter, Athena! She's had her hands full as of late, devising strategies to repel these incessant attacks. I look forward to you meeting at some point! ZeusAboutChaos01 Zeus (Zeus_0272): Word reached me there are these ancient passageways that have begun appearing on our surface, which purportedly lead to the depths of Chaos. All the way from here? Your sorcery at work, I trust... or old alliances... ZeusAboutChronos01 Zeus (Zeus_0033): I remember we were overjoyed to learn your mother was expecting; but alas, we never heard from her again. Chronos seized an awful opportunity to strike. Imagine our shock when you sprang from the shadows into our lives! ZeusAboutChronos02 Zeus (Zeus_0034): When we realized Chronos struck your father's House, we feared you were lost with all the rest. How fortunate the Witch of the Crossroads was able to whisk you away! Though she ought have reached out sooner with such news... ZeusAboutChronos03 Zeus (Zeus_0035): We'd grown so accustomed to having little contact with your father down in the Underworld that Chronos was able to gain a foothold there before we knew it. Been locked in battle with his forces ever since! ZeusAboutChronos04 Zeus (Zeus_0036): I once fought the Titan Chronos hand-to-hand! Now perhaps you'll get to do the honors for me, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}I have the family to look after, and must oversee our plans as they unfold. ZeusAboutChronos05 Zeus (Zeus_0037): The Fates themselves knew Chronos would be overthrown by his own kin. We've done it before, and we're going to do it again! Your assistance in the matter is appreciated. ZeusAboutChronosClockwork01 Zeus (Zeus_0093): Within your father's realm are these odd ancient golden wheels, ceaselessly shifting the Underworld's chambers to and fro. The work of Chronos, it turns out! And he's managed to extend his foul influence to the surface as well... ZeusAboutDemeter01 Zeus (Zeus_0067): In Lady Demeter, you've a fierce supporter, young lady! Already blessed you, sure enough. She's like the enduring winter, {#Emph}that {#Prev}one! But meeting her granddaughter thus has reminded her of fairer seasons, I think. ZeusAboutDevotionTests01 Zeus (Zeus_0146): I regret you've been swept up in some of our little disagreements here, young lady. We all wish to bestow our favor, and should not be fighting over who gets to go first! Yet our pride is not so {#Emph}delicate {#Prev}as it may seem, and we always stand together in the end! ZeusAboutDevotionTests02 Zeus (Zeus_0318): Do pardon our continued bickering, Melinoë! I merely wish to offer that your efforts would be better spent dispelling remnants of the Father of All Monsters, rather than the possibility of Chronos in the Underworld, as good Queen Hera thinks. All families must squabble as we do! ZeusAboutDionysus01 Zeus (Zeus_0096): My peace-loving son Dionysus, he wants nothing to do with this situation we're in, can you believe the {#Emph}nerve? {#Prev}He genuinely believes {#Emph}wine {#Prev}is the solution to all of life's problems! {#Emph}Heh! {#Prev}He'll soon have naught to drink with such an attitude. ZeusAboutDionysus02 Zeus (Zeus_0334): Our newfound peace ought to have drawn wine-loving Dionysus out, yet still I've seen no sign of him at all... save that our stores of Nectar and Ambrosia remain perilously low! Perhaps it's best that all our feasting is on hold. ZeusAboutErebus01 Zeus (Zeus_0145): You must reside somewhere in those terrible woods at the edge of your father's domain. So then you know the sensation of rainfall, the sound of distant thunder. That power now is yours. ZeusAboutEris01 Zeus (Zeus_0170): You Underworld goddesses and gods all know each other, do you not? If you could please notify Nyx's pest of a daughter {#Emph}Eris {#Prev}that she has no permission to fly within our borders, we would be mightily obliged! ZeusAboutFates01 Zeus (Zeus_0078): Chronos has captured the {#Emph}Three Fates?! {#Prev}Preposterous. A useless provocation! They answer to no god or Titan. All it means is that what comes to pass shall not be their decision anymore. We ought to see it as an {#Emph}opportunity! ZeusAboutFuture01 Zeus (Zeus_0329): What shall you do, young lady, now that the momentous task you've undertaken is complete? We certainly have quite a mess left to clean up, but after that. Whatever you decide, may it bring satisfaction and success. ZeusAboutHades01 Zeus (Zeus_0040): Your father and I had our differences. But the brotherly bond we shared was very strong, indeed... stronger than either one of us! Let us prevail in this war to honor him. ZeusAboutHades02 Zeus (Zeus_0323): How it gladdens me knowing good Hades and Persephone now rest upon their rightful thrones once more! Your brother Zagreus, the goddess Nyx, and all the rest, they're also doing well? Such an ordeal you helped them to withstand... ZeusAboutHades03 Zeus (Zeus_0324): The Titan Chronos caught us unawares because we'd grown accustomed to not hearing from your father for long stretches at a time. Well we shall have to remedy that now! Hades and I have much catching up to do, besides. ZeusAboutHades04 Zeus (Zeus_0325): How seriously Hades takes his renovation projects, {#Emph}hah! {#Prev}Your father never was the jesting type but always made me laugh. For he is quite methodical, so I expect the restoration of the Underworld shall take him quite a bit of time! ZeusAboutHecate01 Zeus (Zeus_0041): That reclusive Witch of the Crossroads must have been a most unwilling caretaker of yours, and kept you from your real family till now! At least Hecate taught you some survival skills, and had enough sense to finally acquaint us! ZeusAboutHecate02 Zeus (Zeus_0042): Do tell that Witch of the Crossroads that I shall be expecting prompt reports from her as to the situation in the Underworld. Now certainly is not the time for selfishness! ZeusAboutHephaestus01 Zeus (Zeus_0069): Hard-working Hephaestus offered you his services, has he? We need him clanking away at our armories {#Emph}here{#Prev}, though I suppose assisting you directly does advance our cause. No lack of interest in {#Emph}his {#Prev}handiwork of late! ZeusAboutHera01 Zeus (Zeus_0063): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, my lovely wife has graced you with her presence, Melinoë? She's very watchful, that one, so you're in good hands! Good, strong, and very {#Emph}watchful {#Prev}hands... ZeusAboutHera02 Zeus (Zeus_0064): I've weathered many hardships with my good and loyal Hera by my side! She is so {#Emph}tolerant{#Prev}, and wise, why, she's my rock! I always shall hold fast to her, as the great rock she is! ZeusAboutHera03 Zeus (Zeus_0065): Now, Melinoë, once you've been married for as long as Hera and myself, you shall have overcome your own innumerable challenges. Our marriage only grows {#Emph}stronger {#Prev}for each small transgression made along the way! ZeusAboutHeracles01 Zeus (Zeus_0271): Word reached me you encountered strong-armed Heracles! He's the surliest fellow you'll ever meet; I suggest you leave him to his labors. We have not asked him for the {#Emph}world{#Prev}, only for his fair share if he seeks to lead a divine life. ZeusAboutHeracles02 Zeus (Zeus_0331): We once attempted to keep my son Heracles on a short leash, but he broke free of it, for breaking {#Emph}is {#Prev}his specialty. Yet he is utterly committed to our family, that I know. He never once has failed to deliver what we asked! ZeusAboutHermes01 Zeus (Zeus_0068): You got here rather quickly, quite unlike that rascal Hermes, I should say. Lately he's never about when needed! Should he decide to make himself useful in all this, may he prove more dependable with you. ZeusAboutHestia01 Zeus (Zeus_0066): You've no idea what a feat it is having old Hestia invested in your task! She can be very disagreeable, and loath to participate in any shared activity of ours. But when it comes to {#Emph}you{#Prev}, she's positively fired up! ZeusAboutKeepsake01 Zeus (Zeus_0147): You're wise to bear my Cloud Bangle, my niece! How easily I spotted you with it, so that I may bestow my blessings when you need them most! Now {#Emph}choose{#Prev}, and smite our enemies as I would do myself if I were there! ZeusAboutKeepsake02 Zeus (Zeus_0274): Why, that Cloud Bangle I offered you is all charged up! For who can resist wielding the power of the heavens themselves? Of course most lack the opportunity; I do not freely give it out! ZeusAboutMelinoe01 Zeus (Zeus_0038): You're fortunate that you inherited your mother's features, rather than your father's, young lady! {#Emph}Hah{#Prev}, poor old Hades, how the world weighed heavily on him. He was a good brother to me, and shall be suitably avenged! ZeusAboutMelinoe02 Zeus (Zeus_0335): Just as committed as your father, aren't you, Niece? It seems this matter with the Titan Chronos is {#Emph}interminable{#Prev}, but we all shall have to move on at some point! You've done more than enough, and need not toil for the sake of it. ZeusAboutMortals01 Zeus (Zeus_0046): The mortals, they don't shower us with offerings at quite the rate at which they used to, young lady. How brazen they've become, seeing Chronos as some sort of savior, I suppose. {#Emph}Pah! ZeusAboutMortals02 Zeus (Zeus_0047): Some mortals are such fools to be enticed by the promise of a new Golden Age. {#Emph}When Chronos ruled, it was a time of peace{#Prev}, they claim! {#Emph}No war or strife! {#Prev}And no advancement or society, either. The path of progress isn't paved! ZeusAboutMortals03 Zeus (Zeus_0322): Our mortal worshipers have suffered through difficult times before... but their faith in us shall be rewarded, just as soon as all of this is settled at long last. Loyalty is something we must never take for granted, Niece! ZeusAboutNemesis01 Zeus (Zeus_0326): I had not realized that righteous Nemesis was in the Underworld with you! All the more reason those who dared oppose us fell, for Retribution has been on our side. She is as stunning as her mother Nyx. ZeusAboutOceanus01 Zeus (Zeus_0077): Now, where exactly {#Emph}are {#Prev}you, young lady? The outskirts of Poseidon's realm, it seems. You mean to circumnavigate your father's domain! Why confront the armies of Chronos head-on when you could go around... a clever move! ZeusAboutOceanus02 Zeus (Zeus_0167): How unseemly that you need to trudge across the border in between my brothers' realms! Though if it's any consolation, those aquatic monstrosities you face are in for a real shock! ZeusAboutOlympians01 Zeus (Zeus_0039): You've met most members of the clan by now, but unfortunately, several are away. I'm certain they'll have the most fascinating explanations for their absences during such a circumstance. ZeusAboutOlympus01 Zeus (Zeus_0074): Once all of this is settled, you come join us on Olympus here, won't you? No need to toil on within that witch's glade. Though, I suppose you may be needed in your father's House. At any rate, know that the invitation stands! ZeusAboutOlympus02 Zeus (Zeus_0075): You've seen it now firsthand: Our great mountain is perpetually besieged, and we've not had a moment's peace of late. Yet this trial only makes us stronger as a family! ZeusAboutOlympus03 Zeus (Zeus_0188): It pains me that our mountain home remains in such an utterly unserviceable state, and that your arrival here was not met with a proper welcome! But mark my words, you shall witness Olympus in all its glory once this little matter is resolved! ZeusAboutPackageBounty01 Zeus (Zeus_0172): I can always sense when something is amiss, and on this night, strange forces are at work. Perhaps it was the Fates themselves ensuring you would find me thus... ZeusAboutPolyphemus01 Zeus (Zeus_0079): That worthless Cyclops Polyphemus, turning his broad back against the gods! His kind once aided us against the Titans; yet he's of a newer generation, lacking {#Emph}loyalty{#Prev}, apparently! His actions {#Emph}cannot {#Prev}be excused. ZeusAboutPolyphemus02 Zeus (Zeus_0127): Would that Poseidon didn't make sport of ridiculing Cyclopes, perhaps old sightless Polyphemus would be standing with us rather than against! {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, but we all make mistakes, don't we? ZeusAboutPoseidon01 Zeus (Zeus_0061): You bear Brother Poseidon's watery blessing already, yes, young lady? Well, I'll be blunt: You're going to need more help than {#Emph}that{#Prev}, so here. ZeusAboutPrometheus01 Zeus (Zeus_0186): That traitorous Titan Prometheus leads the vanguard of our enemy's forces on Olympus. Apparently he didn't learn a {#Emph}thing {#Prev}from when we punished him for his past crimes! We shall have to think of {#Emph}new {#Prev}ways to make him come around... ZeusAboutPrometheus02 Zeus (Zeus_0187): You may have heard about the actions of Prometheus that earned him all my wrath. He {#Emph}stole {#Prev}from us! Denied us the glory of bestowing fire unto mortalkind on our own terms! He suffered as a consequence, but not nearly enough. ZeusAboutPrometheus03 Zeus (Zeus_0333): I have been much inclined to put a stop to the rebellion of Prometheus, yet now I'm to believe he is facilitating your continued efforts to ensure that {#Emph}time flows freely forth? {#Prev}Well should you cease to trust in this, merely send word. ZeusAboutRandomBounties01 Zeus (Zeus_0332): What is this bizarre path you're taking, Niece? We were barely able to locate you! Something seems to be amiss tonight, strange forces beyond even {#Emph}our {#Prev}control... ZeusAboutRouteChoice01 Zeus (Zeus_0171): There is some difference of opinion here regarding where your efforts are of greatest benefit. We shall keep the matter on Olympus well in hand, but we cannot get to Chronos in your father's realm as easily as you! ZeusAboutSelene01 Zeus (Zeus_0058): You gleam as though with moonlight, there, young lady! Almost as if fairest Selene herself anointed you. Alas, that she must ride across the night, while you're left to your own devices on the ground. ZeusAboutShrine01 Zeus (Zeus_0175): Such a dreadful night this is, the likes of which I haven't felt in quite some time! But you and that Witch of the Crossroads, you must revel in the stifling fear and darkness, don't you? Go then and terrify our foes! ZeusAboutShrine02 Zeus (Zeus_0273): I must say, mortals must be positively terrified on such a night as blustering and dark as {#Emph}this! {#Prev}Either we gods are angry and unsettled, or perhaps merely our many foes. ZeusAboutStorms01 Zeus (Zeus_0094): Even I can be temperamental; but I refrain from ravaging the surface with my storms, knowing that the mortals who have fallen in with Chronos have merely been deceived. Once all this is over, they shall come back to the light. ZeusAboutSurface01 Zeus (Zeus_0072): Something is different with you, Niece. You seem so very much alive... upon the surface here, no less! You cured your curse somehow? Impossible... ZeusAboutSurface02 Zeus (Zeus_0073): I don't know how you circumvented the curse that bound you to the Underworld, young lady; but I {#Emph}do {#Prev}know this changes everything! You can help us defend this mountaintop! Help we could use, even {#Emph}I {#Prev}must admit... ZeusAboutSurface03 Zeus (Zeus_0076): Observe the handiwork of Chronos all about you, there! The once-thriving city of Ephyra, laid to ruin; the Underworld's gates, flung open! Unconscionable acts, for which there must be dire consequences! ZeusAboutSurface04 Zeus (Zeus_0092): It's all mixed up here on the surface, young lady. The very ground beneath your feet shifts constantly, due either to Poseidon's quakes, or to whatever Chronos has devised. You know which way to go, if not the precise path. ZeusAboutSurface05 Zeus (Zeus_0144): We have the matter on Olympus well in hand, young lady! I'd rather you stay focused on our common foe within your father's realm. Though you shall have my blessing either way! ZeusAboutSurfaceNoCure01 Zeus (Zeus_0070): {#Emph}Augh{#Prev}, what are you doing on the {#Emph}surface{#Prev}, young lady? How shall you survive? Surely you know your line is bound beneath the earth! Your strength is better spent against our foes down {#Emph}there! ZeusAboutSurfaceNoCure02 Zeus (Zeus_0071): Your treks up here seem ill-advised, Melinoë. I trust you have some sort of {#Emph}plan{#Prev}, don't you? You and that Witch of the Crossroads can be quite difficult to read! ZeusAboutSurfaceThreat01 Zeus (Zeus_0088): Melinoë, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, something is afoot here on Olympus... rumblings, yet not even Poseidon knows the source. Well, whatever cowardly maneuver Chronos has in store, we're going to repel it! With your aid, perhaps. ZeusAboutSurfaceThreat02 Zeus (Zeus_0319): We could have scoured all our surface foes by now, but Chronos claims they're needed still; that you must face them as you previously did to draw out remnant possibilities of Typhon to destroy. As long as you are willing, Niece... ZeusAboutTartarus01 Zeus (Zeus_0168): The deepest reaches of the Underworld have surely changed a lot; dismal, in all-new ways! To think that Chronos made his stronghold down in Tartarus, where once we buried him... ZeusAboutThessaly01 Zeus (Zeus_0169): Chronos has quite the relentless fleet there in the Rift of Thessaly! Ships packed with bodies and supplies. Very clever of you, stowing away to disrupt the enemy lines! ZeusAboutTyphon01 Zeus (Zeus_0189): In all my rancor, I never thought Chronos {#Emph}completely {#Prev}mad. But what else could have driven him to use the Father of All Monsters as a weapon? Typhon heeds no master; the destruction of Olympus shall not sate his appetites! ZeusAboutTyphon02 Zeus (Zeus_0190): The monster Typhon is {#Emph}far {#Prev}from invincible, no matter how it seems. When first he dared attack Olympus long ago, I {#Emph}personally {#Prev}struck him down! But now, he does seem more resistant to my lightning than before... ZeusAboutTyphon03 Zeus (Zeus_0191): Whenever you should bravely face Typhon again, I shall subdue him with my lightning bolt as soon as possible. But I cannot risk leaving my Palace here for long... I'm only able to at all when you distract him first! ZeusAboutTyphonL01 Zeus (Zeus_0195): We should be able to contend with Typhon here, but cannot reach the Titan Chronos where he is. So why do you insist on heading {#Emph}this {#Prev}way? Focus on the Underworld and leave my realm to {#Emph}me. ZeusAboutTyphonW01 Zeus (Zeus_0192): I must admit, young lady, I had my doubts about you coming all this way to lend your aid! We ought be capable enough to drive back Typhon on our own! But our latest battle with him might have gone differently if not for you... ZeusAboutTyphonW02 Zeus (Zeus_0193): Typhon is clambering back up toward our summit once again, in spite of how we dealt with him last night, thanks to your aid. He's {#Emph}clearly {#Prev}not the {#Emph}smartest {#Prev}one, although perhaps we'll teach him a valuable lesson soon enough! ZeusAboutTyphonW03 Zeus (Zeus_0194): You are truly one of {#Emph}us{#Prev}, Melinoë! I saw how mightily you fought with my own eyes! Even in the face of Typhon's savagery. Your father surely would have been as proud as I. ZeusAboutTyphonW04 Zeus (Zeus_0320): Your latest victory means there's an even slimmer chance Typhon may haunt us, is that it? Perhaps these are the very possibilities Prometheus has always prattled on about. Well then, keep on eliminating undesirable outcomes one by one! ZeusAboutWeapons01 Zeus (Zeus_0091): That silver sickle that you wield. It seems not only are the Arms of Night awakened, they are in your grasp. I once fought Titans with their counterparts. Now it seems that history repeats. ZeusAboutZagreus01 Zeus (Zeus_0045): Alas that you never got to know your brother Zagreus, fine lad that he was. Determined lad! Didn't always get on with your father, but who does? I'm certain he fought Chronos just as bravely as he could. ZeusBlindBox01 Zeus (Zeus_0165): You must have sensed it was my blessing you'd receive, young lady! That energy, that {#Emph}electricity... {#Prev}why, I'm afraid there's just no hiding it! ZeusBlindBox02 Zeus (Zeus_0166): I do believe this was a veritable blessing in disguise! It could have just as soon been any other member of the clan... so you are very fortunate indeed! ZeusCastStrike.KillingEnemyVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_1381): Get shocked. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1382): Zeus take you. Melinoe (MelinoeField_1383): Struck down. ZeusChat01 Zeus (Zeus_0003): Even the sacred bond of family can be broken, young lady. ZeusChat02 Zeus (Zeus_0004): Remember there's no god of mercy on Olympus, Melinoë. ZeusChat03 Zeus (Zeus_0005): When all this is over, I'll make certain you're rewarded handsomely. ZeusChat04 Zeus (Zeus_0006): The time for amicable solutions to our predicament has long since past. ZeusChat05 Zeus (Zeus_0007): You keep your head held high, young lady, for we're {#Emph}gods! {#Prev}The lot of us! ZeusChat06 Zeus (Zeus_0008): Together, we can rid this world of Chronos and his evil influence. ZeusChat07 Zeus (Zeus_0009): As gods, this world is ours by right. And we'll defend that right, won't we? ZeusChat08 Zeus (Zeus_0010): Our enemies shall soon be in for quite the shock, I think! ZeusChat09 Zeus (Zeus_0011): We'll put an end to this little uprising sooner or later, {#Emph}hm? ZeusChat10 Zeus (Zeus_0012): Your dedication to this family doesn't go unnoticed, young lady. ZeusChat11 Zeus (Zeus_0013): Contending with upstarts and fools is just a part of godhood, I'm afraid. ZeusChat12 Zeus (Zeus_0014): Olympus stands strong, and you'll help see to it we'll stay that way, won't you? ZeusChat13 Zeus (Zeus_0015): We'll turn the tables yet, Melinoë! Go forth now with a token of my strength. ZeusChat14 Zeus (Zeus_0016): You witches have a natural spark in you, I know, but here! I've got another. ZeusChat15 Zeus (Zeus_0017): Do show our enemies a properly electrifying time for me, would you? ZeusChat16 Zeus (Zeus_0018): Chronos can be outsmarted and outfought. We'll get him, Niece! ZeusChat17 Zeus (Zeus_0019): Your father would be very proud, I'm sure. All of us are! ZeusChat18 Zeus (Zeus_0020): We face a wrathful adversary, yes; but we, too, have our ways, Melinoë... ZeusChat19 Zeus (Zeus_0021): You'll help us tilt the balance in our favor, won't you, young lady? ZeusChat20 Zeus (Zeus_0022): I trust we'll have all this unpleasantness behind us in no time, {#Emph}hm? ZeusChat21 Zeus (Zeus_0023): We'll soon have Chronos wishing he remained in deepest Tartarus, where he belongs! ZeusChat22 Zeus (Zeus_0024): Become as lightning, Niece, and strike our enemies before they know what hit them! ZeusChat23 Zeus (Zeus_0025): We didn't come to rule this world by underestimating enemies, my niece. ZeusChat24 Zeus (Zeus_0026): I've pressing matters to attend to, so take care of things for me down there, would you? ZeusChat25 Zeus (Zeus_0027): Always wonderful to see you, Melinoë! Even in times such as these... ZeusChat26 Zeus (Zeus_0028): This storm of ours shall rage on for as long as we see fit, won't it, my niece? ZeusChat27 Zeus (Zeus_0029): Our family's had its downturns through the ages, though we always bounce back! ZeusChat28 Zeus (Zeus_0030): That tingling sensation in the air, that's a sure sign that victory's at hand! ZeusChat29 Zeus (Zeus_0031): I and the other members of the clan are behind you in your every step, young lady. ZeusChat30 Zeus (Zeus_0032): All those who stand against Olympus shall be summarily struck down. ZeusChat31 Zeus (Zeus_0340): Even the faintest trace of the threat Chronos and Typhon posed shall not remain over our heads. ZeusChat32 Zeus (Zeus_0341): Do know that your continued service to Olympus is appreciated, Niece. ZeusChat33 Zeus (Zeus_0342): If Typhon's remnant is to be your target, then perhaps I'll see you when the time has come to strike! ZeusChat34 Zeus (Zeus_0343): So long as the threat of Typhon weighs on us, we shall do something about it! ZeusChat35 Zeus (Zeus_0344): Go forth and see to it your Underworld remains squarely in your family's control! ZeusChat36 Zeus (Zeus_0345): Your father may be difficult to get a hold of, but I always can reach out to you! ZeusChat37 Zeus (Zeus_0346): The might of Olympus stands behind you in whatever you do next, Melinoë. ZeusChat38 Zeus (Zeus_0347): For all the challenges our family faced, there's yet to be one that we have not overcome. ZeusChat39 Zeus (Zeus_0348): A bit of threat prevention should ensure our family can rest easily wherever we reside. ZeusChat40 Zeus (Zeus_0347): Would that my children all were as responsible as you. ZeusChat41 Zeus (Zeus_0368): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, your journey begins anew again, young lady! ZeusChat42 Zeus (Zeus_0369): My command of the heavens is nothing compared to the strength of our family bond. ZeusChat43 Zeus (Zeus_0370): I expected I might find you setting forth here on another of your escapades! ZeusChat44 Zeus (Zeus_0371): We have the matter on Olympus well in hand, young lady! ZeusFirstPickUp Melinoe (MelinoeField_1598): The king of the gods must have his hands full recently. {#Emph}In the name of Hades! Olympus, I accept this message! Zeus (Zeus_0125): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, young lady, so we meet at last! Emerged from all that gloom to help us settle an old score. If you possess your father's strength, then we have the advantage! Let us strike. ZeusGift01 Melinoe (Melinoe_0954): To mighty Uncle Zeus, vanquisher of Titans! Your strength has saved our family before. You are most kind to now share some of it with me. Zeus (Zeus_0081): This hardly seems the time to make me offerings. All the more reason I appreciate the gesture, Niece! And per the custom of our family, I've prepared something for you, in turn! ZeusGift02 Melinoe (Melinoe_0955): Lord Zeus, king of Olympus, I am honored to be in your service! I vow to use your thunderous power for the greater good of our family. Zeus (Zeus_0082): Even in such a time, you pay proper respects to your lord uncle, my well-mannered niece. Know, in turn, you have my gratitude! ZeusGift03 Melinoe (Melinoe_0956): Benevolent Lord Uncle Zeus, I have for you another offering, as meager as it is! May you soon have occasion to enjoy it peaceably. Zeus (Zeus_0084): I'm often showered in such offerings, you know. However, coming from one such as you, it means a lot more to me than the rest. My other children stand to learn from you! ZeusGift04 Melinoe (MelinoeField_1763): Lord Uncle, a token of my appreciation! Though I knew of your generous spirit well before we finally met, I'd not expected you'd make time for me again and again like this. Zeus (Zeus_0083): Your brother once was similarly generous to me! I often wondered who could have taught him such deference. Old {#Emph}Hades {#Prev}didn't, {#Emph}that {#Prev}I knew! ZeusGift05 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3672): For all your steady leadership, I bid you please accept this offering, Lord Uncle Zeus. Once all this is ended, may you and Queen Hera reign in peace and prosperity forevermore. Zeus (Zeus_0176): Respect for one's elders does not come automatically, I know only too well. Know that I do not take kind gestures such as yours for granted, and appreciate them a great deal. You have a generous spirit! ZeusGift06 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3673): You have a wondrous family to protect, Lord Uncle Zeus, not to mention the heavens and the earth. Yet you always carry yourself with dignity and courage, despite the weight of your burdens! Thank you for never backing down. Zeus (Zeus_0177): I've many sons and daughters; nieces and nephews, many more. And it's a pleasure to know each and every one. I try never to play favorites, but... between us, young lady? You're an exception. ZeusGift07 Melinoe (MelinoeField_3825): A gift in honor of our victory, Lord Uncle! We could never have achieved this if not for your leadership and relentless conviction, and your lightning bolts! May this Ambrosia help bring us closer together in times of peace. Zeus (Zeus_0314): Ambrosia such as this ought to flow in abundance on Olympus once again, and I trust soon enough it shall. To that eventual result, you have contributed far more than just this bottle, Niece. I and all of us are grateful beyond words. ZeusHeraFinalGreeting.VoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_5021): Grandfather, with the King and Queen... ZeusHeraGreeting.VoiceLines Hera (Hera_0219): Look, Husband! Zeus (Zeus_0296): Greetings!

Take now my strength, young lady, and crash through the enemy ranks like a bolt in the night! ZeusLootBought01 Zeus (Zeus_0140): I trust this message finds you well! We must remain in close communication as best we can, even if it means employing the services of your Underworld's Boatman every so often. ZeusLootBought02 Zeus (Zeus_0141): Old Charon must have ample time to spare, now that he isn't busy sending souls to their eternal rest. Although I do suspect that we can keep him plenty busy in service to us here! ZeusLootBought03 Zeus (Zeus_0142): How vain of Chronos to have pressed all of those golden coins in his own image! The promise of a new {#Emph}Golden Age{#Prev}, some mortals say, {#Emph}pah! {#Prev}That age has long since passed. And no amount of shiny metal shall bring it back.

ZeusLowHealth04 Zeus (Zeus_0051): Such injuries you've already sustained... yet you press on, knowing the task you've undertaken is imperative. You are an inspiration, young lady! ZeusMakeUp01 Zeus (Zeus_0129): My patience lately has its limits, young lady. I would advise you not keep testing them. ZeusMakeUp02 Zeus (Zeus_0135): There is no limit to the wrath of Olympus. Best not invite it on yourself again. ZeusMakeUp03 Zeus (Zeus_0136): Our might is best applied against our common foe. But do be mindful of your place next time. ZeusMakeUp04 Zeus (Zeus_0137): Oh, enough of this! We must maintain decorum, even in such times as these. ZeusMakeUp05 Zeus (Zeus_0138): You have weathered this storm, but do take heed not to get caught in it next time. ZeusMakeUp06 Zeus (Zeus_0139): Such petty squabbling! My temper has decidedly been short as you can see. ZeusMakeUp07 Zeus (Zeus_0261): Such bickering is getting us nowhere! Let us direct our pent-up wrath toward our {#Emph}foes! ZeusMakeUp08 Zeus (Zeus_0262): Consider yourself reprimanded, Melinoë. Let us get back to the matter at hand! ZeusMakeUp09 Zeus (Zeus_0263): We mustn't fight amongst ourselves like this! Although at least we make it brief! ZeusMakeUp10 Zeus (Zeus_0264): My priority is always family, my niece! Even if it requires hard choices now and again. ZeusMakeUp11 Zeus (Zeus_0265): I'd rather not prolong such an unnecessary feud, when we have real foes to face. ZeusMakeUp12 Zeus (Zeus_0266): Your father always had a certain dry sense of humor, as apparently do you. ZeusPackageBountyIntro01 Zeus (Zeus_0173): You Underworld gods and your ancient ways...

ZeusPackageBountyIntro02 Zeus (Zeus_0174): It feels as though we've met before upon a night exactly such as this... but then we've been battling Chronos for so long, our sense of time can be just as deceiving as our foe! ZeusPalaceAboutTyphonDeath01 Zeus (Zeus_0287): Oh, my good niece, you were extraordinary, truly! So far as we can tell, no trace of that monstrosity remains! The deed is {#Emph}done! {#Prev}Typhon is {#Emph}dead! Hera (Hera_0206): My Lord Husband has been premature to declare victory before, so I shall not believe a {#Emph}word {#Prev}of this until I hear it from your lips; perhaps not even then! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3866): The Father of All Monsters is undone... not merely dead, but eradicated, using the power of the Titan of Time, and a bit of assistance from Father's favored spear, Gigaros. Zeus (Zeus_0288): You hear {#Emph}that{#Prev}, Hera dear? I {#Emph}told {#Prev}you young Melinoë was certain to prevail on our behalf! Our family always triumphs when we stand together with a common purpose. Hera (Hera_0207): ...I remain utterly in shock. Well now, girl, if you have {#Emph}truly {#Prev}quashed that {#Emph}monstrous {#Prev}threat, then do prepare yourself for all of us to claim we never doubted you at any point. My Lord Husband is already starting. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3867): If you had not believed in me, Queen Hera, then perhaps Typhon would have been here in my stead. So thank you all... and now an even greater victory is within reach. Zeus (Zeus_0289): The Titan Chronos... you mean to likewise destroy him using the methods you employed this very night? Melinoe (MelinoeField_3868): If necessary. Though this power that you witnessed was for Typhon alone, and likewise what we plan for Chronos is fit only for him. The deathless cannot be destroyed unless they threaten the very fabric of the weavings of the Fates. Hera (Hera_0208): No time for feasting till the other deed is done, then, yes? That's fine. The Titan's forces may grow far more desperate now, a possibility for which we ought prepare. We shall lend you all the strength we can for your own final assault. ZeusPalaceFirstMeeting Zeus (Zeus_0275): Welcome, young lady, to our family's glorious abode! You have our thanks for seeing to it that the monster Typhon failed to reach us here. Hera (Hera_0196): And you have our regrets that my Lord Husband left you to confront that horrid creature on your own. Most of the others are still fortifying the Palace; forgive our rudeness. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3828): There's nothing to forgive, Queen Hera. I am honored to have met you and King Zeus face to face, and seen the glory of Olympus firsthand. I owe it to your generous support these many nights. Zeus (Zeus_0276): Come now, Melinoë, we have a shared objective after all! And so long as Chronos sits upon your father's throne, that objective remains incomplete. Hera (Hera_0197): Hurrying her off when she only just arrived, Husband? Although we've little here for entertainment other than Apollo's plucking. At least our enemies shall be back at our gates before long! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3829): I don't think I can remain anyhow. I need to consult with the Witch of the Crossroads; she may have thoughts on how to rid ourselves of both our great foes at once. Zeus (Zeus_0277): We shall find a means, of that I have no doubt! And until then, we shall be better prepared to meet their charge. Hera (Hera_0198): Go on, my dear. We're unaccustomed to expressing gratitude as you can plainly see. Until such time as your Lord Father and his own Queen are restored, there's little cause for cheer, I think. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3830): Perhaps soon enough. ZeusPalaceMeeting02 Zeus (Zeus_0278): We got that monstrous fiend once more, young lady, thanks most certainly to you! Such courage in the face of catastrophe, and our Palace remains safe and secure... and further reinforced, should Typhon try for us again. Hera (Hera_0199): You were splendid, my dear! Had things grown any more dire, we were preparing for a last resort a son of ours developed. But the cost of it is high indeed. Thus, you have saved us in more ways than one. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3840): It's my pleasure to have been of service to our family, Queen Hera, and to see the wonders of these halls once more. Perhaps we may yet permanently dissuade Typhon soon. Zeus (Zeus_0279): And what do you have in mind on that account? Our own research has yet to yield a force that could take Typhon without also taking this entire mountain down! He's even fiercer now than when he first attacked us long ago. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3841): I've gathered useful specimens of Typhon's flesh, and we've been studying how we can use it in our craft. But we don't yet have meaningful progress to share... Hera (Hera_0200): Oh, come now. Driving back that monster more than once is progress meaningful enough! My Lord Husband thought that your first such victory could have simply been a fluke. Zeus (Zeus_0280): Now, what I said, dear wife, was that a single victory against Typhon did not prove more such victories could be achieved! But now you've demonstrated otherwise, Melinoë, and spurred our hope that we shall rid ourselves of this foul menace soon enough. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3842): King Zeus, Queen Hera, by your leave I ought return with what I found, in case it leads to new discoveries about how we can do just that. Thank you all for your continued aid. Zeus (Zeus_0281): You have our gratitude, in kind. ZeusPalaceMeeting03 Hera (Hera_0201): How my Lord Husband scoffed when first I brought forth that perhaps this {#Emph}deadly witch-niece {#Prev}of his, raised from infancy to vanquish Time itself, could also be of benefit against the Titan's siege! Glad I won {#Emph}that {#Prev} out. Zeus (Zeus_0282): Hera dear, {#Emph}of course {#Prev}we reached agreement on that matter, else my good niece would not be here now! Though tell us, Melinoë, what news of a lasting solution to our predicament? Typhon shows no interest in turning away. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3845): We're getting closer to something. It's very likely that the means we use to rid ourselves of one of our great foes shall be the key to ridding ourselves of the other. Though we have not achieved those means as yet. Hera (Hera_0202): You hear that, Zeus? The greatest inconveniences we face may be resolved at once. We so like doing things efficiently. Zeus (Zeus_0283): You need but tell us what else must be done to facilitate this outcome, Melinoë. Olympus stands at your disposal here. Melinoe (MelinoeField_4268): Please hold out as long as possible, for your blessings and support are invaluable. One way or another, I'll be back as soon as I can. Chronos may have reawakened Typhon, but that same power could unravel him. Hera (Hera_0203): May it be thus. We'd ask you take your time, my dear, but there's no telling how much we can spare. Nevertheless, tread carefully and we shall be awaiting your return.

I may be gone for some nights as I turn my attention to Chronos; his power reawakened Typhon, and that same power could unravel {#Emph}him. Hera (Hera_0203): May it be thus. We'd ask you take your time, my dear, but there's no telling how much we can spare. Nevertheless, tread carefully and we shall be awaiting your return. ZeusPalaceMeeting04 Zeus (Zeus_0284): Typhon is not backing down, though we shall drive him back each night he deigns to threaten us, if that is what it takes! Hera (Hera_0204): Either that, or we could probably destroy him, along with this mountain and a good portion of the surrounding countryside... although, where would we live thereafter? Zeus (Zeus_0285): We needn't weigh that possibility at all, Hera my dear! Best not to even speak of it. Melinoë assured us Typhon could be dealt with in a different way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3850): I'd not intended to make promises on that account, Lord Uncle, though I shall do everything in my power to ensure Olympus stands while Typhon falls... I just need to concentrate on Chronos for a while. Hera (Hera_0205): Well then, pardon my bluntness, my dear, but why aren't you in your Underworld? We now can hold our own, you've seen. But we cannot reach the Titan ourselves. Zeus (Zeus_0286): Do as you must, Melinoë. We shall be waiting to hear word of your success in Tartarus. And you can count on all our blessings on the way! ZeusPalaceMeeting04_B Zeus (Zeus_0284): Typhon is not backing down, though we shall drive him back each night he deigns to threaten us, if that is what it takes! Hera (Hera_0204): Either that, or we could probably destroy him, along with this mountain and a good portion of the surrounding countryside... although, where would we live thereafter? Zeus (Zeus_0285): We needn't weigh that possibility at all, Hera my dear! Best not to even speak of it. Melinoë assured us Typhon could be dealt with in a different way. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3850_B): I'd not intended to make promises on that account, Lord Uncle, though I shall do everything in my power to ensure Olympus stands while Typhon falls... Zeus (Zeus_0286_B): Do as you must, Melinoë. We shall be waiting to hear word of your success. And you can count on all our blessings on the way! ZeusPalaceMeetingRepeatable01 Zeus (Zeus_0292): We've rid ourselves of Typhon for the time, but not for good. If Chronos stands between us and that outcome, then we urge you to pursue {#Emph}him {#Prev}next. Hera (Hera_0212): My Lord Husband does not mean to pressure you, I'm sure, my dear. But do feel free to leave the defense of the mountain to us whilst tending to any other matters. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3853): Your Majesty. ZeusPalaceMeetingRepeatable02 Zeus (Zeus_0293): Another victory is ours! We are most grateful for your continued service to our family, Melinoë. May your defeat of Chronos be as swift. Hera (Hera_0213): And may we soon discover how to put that monstrous Typhon back into the earth where he belongs. Do keep us well-apprised! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3854): Yes, Queen Hera. ZeusPalaceMeetingRepeatable03 Hera (Hera_0214): Again you sent that Typhon howling to the base of our mountain, though he is likely to return. But perhaps one of these nights shall be his last. Zeus (Zeus_0294): We appreciate all of your aid, young lady, though do not leave Chronos unattended! Especially if his defeat is key to our final victory. Melinoe (MelinoeField_3855): Thank you all. ZeusPalaceMeetingRepeatable04 Hera (Hera_0215): You're always welcome on these grounds, my dear, but we are {#Emph}never {#Prev}going to be at our finest so long as the threat of Typhon looms large. Zeus (Zeus_0295): He's gone at least for now, but he'll be back. That is unless Melinoë is able to get rid of him entirely, as she suggested should be possible! Melinoe (MelinoeField_3856): We're getting closer. ZeusPalacePostTrueEnding01 Chronos (Chronos_1077): ...Now do you see, my son? Although the Typhon with whom you already clashed is gone, there could have been certain circumstances under which he remained. One fewer {#Emph}now{#Prev}, of course! Zeus (Zeus_0290): And how many of these circumstances {#Emph}are {#Prev}there, would you say, Father? For we cannot expect Melinoë to battle to our mountaintop for all eternity... Hera (Hera_0209): Speaking of which, welcome again, my dear! We were just having ourselves a bit of a chat with your grandfather. We've not decided what to do with him as yet, you see. Chronos (Chronos_1078): Oh, hello, Granddaughter! I had assured the King and Queen that you would be victorious again, for you had been victorious before! Thank you for validating my theories. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5076): Oh, you're welcome. King Zeus, Queen Hera... I can attest these possibilities of Typhon do appear to exist, having just found one with Grandfather's assistance and eradicated it. Chronos (Chronos_1079): Typhon is closer to a Shade of himself now. The possibility of his dominion over Olympus has grown faint, and fainter still with each of your successes. But how {#Emph}many {#Prev}are required, I unfortunately cannot calculate... Hera (Hera_0210): And why not? Perhaps if we persuaded you sufficiently, Titan, you'd be inclined to answer in a more-straightforward way. Chronos (Chronos_1080): I have but recently learned of these possibilities myself. Time is flowing freely forth, for the most part; my granddaughter merely can ensure that there are no obstructions of concern, at her convenience of course. Melinoe (MelinoeField_5077): And I would see to that, however long it takes. By your leave, of course, O King and Queen. I ask that you permit Grandfather to carry on. Thus far he's been true to his word. Zeus (Zeus_0291): We do have something suitable for you in mind, Father. But due to matters of security, our Palace henceforth is to be sealed off. Melinoë, perhaps when your mother resumes her yearly travels here, you may, {#Emph}erm{#Prev}, come visit again. Hera (Hera_0211): We've been such awful hosts to you, my dear. We never intended for any of this to occur! But we have pledged you our support before, and you shall have it for as long as you require. Even if we bicker over it now and again. ZeusPostEpilogue01 Zeus (Zeus_0327): The Three Fates, located at last, our messenger excitedly reports! I trust they shall resume safeguarding our dominion from here on... even if it means having to pull the strings a bit from time to time. A small price to be paid! ZeusPostEpilogue02 Zeus (Zeus_0328): We the Olympians, appointed by the Fates themselves to rule this world, are prophecized to just... {#Emph}back off {#Prev}a bit? Take more of a {#Emph}light touch! Huh. {#Prev}Then so we shall, no questioning those three. Although I doubt mortals shall like the change. ZeusPostEpilogue03 Zeus (Zeus_0330): Your grandfather has not yet given up entirely on his idea for another Golden Age. As he's behaving reasonably well, we have agreed to hear him out. The times are clearly changing, after all... let us ensure it's for the best. ZeusPostGift01 Zeus (Zeus_0056): I must admit, Melinoë... your commitment to this task of yours is greater than I had surmised. My offspring can be easily discouraged. I'm pleased to see my older brother's offspring isn't thus. ZeusPostGift02 Zeus (Zeus_0057): A pity that you're unattached, or so I hear. Your ceaseless training, living in a hidden grove... no {#Emph}wonder {#Prev}that there's no one special in your life! Fear not, though, you'll be fending off suitors left and right once word of you gets out! ZeusPostTrueEnding01 Zeus (Zeus_0315): I know not what you did to Chronos, Niece, but he is no longer himself... practically groveling for mercy here! And asking for our aid to ensure time flows freely forth, or some such drivel. Is {#Emph}this {#Prev}why you plan to re-trace your steps...? ZeusPostTrueEnding02 Zeus (Zeus_0316): Long have my brothers, foster sisters, and I warred against the Titan Chronos, and yet {#Emph}now {#Prev}we are to have a {#Emph}truce? {#Prev}I shall not trust in him anytime soon... you need but say the word, and we shall seal him away for good. ZeusPostTrueEnding03 Zeus (Zeus_0317): I noted that your father and I thought of something suitable for Chronos, for I do not want him {#Emph}here. {#Prev}He shall preside over the Isles of the Blessed, near to Elysium in {#Emph}your {#Prev}domain! An honorary post befitting one of his experience. ZeusRejection01 Zeus (Zeus_0128): I am lord and commander of our efforts here! And the chain of command must be obeyed. ZeusRejection02 Zeus (Zeus_0130): I do not freely dole my blessings out; when I offer them, I expect you to take them. ZeusRejection03 Zeus (Zeus_0131): You can't please everybody all the time, but you needn't have displeased {#Emph}me {#Prev}so. ZeusRejection04 Zeus (Zeus_0132): My word! The standard for respect and decency seem far too low where you were raised. ZeusRejection05 Zeus (Zeus_0133): If {#Emph}you {#Prev}were openly refused, in {#Emph}my {#Prev}place you would certainly respond as I shall now. ZeusRejection06 Zeus (Zeus_0134): While I enjoy a clever jest as much as any god, this was in decidedly poor taste. ZeusRejection07 Zeus (Zeus_0252): I am the King of Olympus! Is some obedience truly too much to expect? ZeusRejection08 Zeus (Zeus_0253): You've a defiant streak in you, young lady! One you'd be wise to hold in check. ZeusRejection09 Zeus (Zeus_0254): If you undermine my authority, you shall suffer the consequences. Simple. ZeusRejection10 Zeus (Zeus_0255): The Witch of the Crossroads may have taught you how to fight, but where are your manners? ZeusRejection11 Zeus (Zeus_0256): We are a family, that is true; but when the need arises, the final say is mine. ZeusRejection12 Zeus (Zeus_0257): Do not test the limits of my patience; recently I have little to spare. ZeusRejection13 Zeus (Zeus_0258): Normally I would suggest you always take Queen Hera's side in everything. But not in this! ZeusRejection14 Zeus (Zeus_0259): My beloved Hera and I may occasionally disagree, but you stay out of it! ZeusRejection15 Zeus (Zeus_0260): You'd take my brother's side over my own? Young lady, I thought you were {#Emph}sensible! ZeusRunStart01 Zeus (Zeus_0052): Greetings, my fair niece! I expected I might find you setting forth here on another of your escapades! And I would have this be a most successful one, for you and all of us! ZeusRunStart02 Zeus (Zeus_0053): {#Emph}Ah{#Prev}, your journey begins anew again, young lady! Though, let's see how it goes for you when you have my incomparable blessing from the start! ZeusRunStart03 Zeus (Zeus_0149): As you set forth again this evening, let me guarantee that you start off on the right foot. Know that all of us are behind you, every step of the way! ZeusRunStart04 Zeus (Zeus_0150): You're just getting started for this evening, aren't you, young lady? Well let me usher you along. Harness the thunder, and ensure our victory! ZeusRunStartPostSurfaceW01 Zeus (Zeus_0336): Turned your attention to the Underworld, have you now? Well I suppose all your successes here ought carry you to further victory below. My dear Hera shall be very pleased! ZeusRunStartPostUnderworldW01 Zeus (Zeus_0337): As of last night, I understand there is one fewer possibility that the Titan of Time could have ever deposed us. And now you're turning to the possibility of {#Emph}Typhon{#Prev}, so it seems? ZeusSurfaceRunCleared01 Zeus (Zeus_0090): What happened to you on your journey to our mountaintop, my niece? We lost contact with you somewhere on your way, just when it seemed you were so close. Well, don't despair, and don't relent, either! ZeusSurfaceRunStart01 Zeus (Zeus_0151): You must be somewhere near a gateway to your father's realm. So you're headed {#Emph}here {#Prev}again, rather than toward his House? Well be that as it may, my aid is yours. ZeusSurfaceRunStart02 Zeus (Zeus_0152): You've a long way to go before you reach Olympus, Niece; and there's been some inclement weather. But you don't mind a little thunder and lightning now, do you? ZeusUnderworldRunCleared01 Zeus (Zeus_0089): It's been a while, young lady! Word reached me that you've made significant advances as of late, and furthered our great cause. So I commend you, and of course, I give my blessing to you, too! ZeusUnderworldRunCleared02 Zeus (Zeus_0148): How exactly you shall vanquish Chronos, someone shall have to explain to me at some point! Your witching-ways shall help you to prevail where we could not, {#Emph}hm? {#Prev}At least he hasn't yet imprisoned you along with your kin! ZeusUnderworldRunCleared03 Zeus (Zeus_0197): Word has it that you somehow managed to thwart Chronos just last night? Although I remain somewhat skeptical, because his forces still press the attack, and Typhon shows no sign of slowing down. We have to put a stop to this... ZeusUnderworldRunCleared04 Zeus (Zeus_0321): Father Chronos claims you eliminated yet another possibility that his past self could have achieved dominion on Olympus and below. You're to keep battling the Titan of Time as though he were {#Emph}still {#Prev}threatening us as before? Absurd... ZeusUnderworldRunStart01 Zeus (Zeus_0196): You're going after Chronos again, aren't you? Probably for the best! Perhaps if you prevail against him there, then Typhon's efforts shall somehow be disrupted here... ZeusUpgrade.BlindBoxOpenedVoiceLines Zeus (Zeus_0104): Greetings to you! Zeus (Zeus_0105): I have arrived. Zeus (Zeus_0106): We meet again! Zeus (Zeus_0119): I have something for you. Zeus (Zeus_0296): Greetings! Zeus (Zeus_0297): Young lady! Zeus (Zeus_0302): My niece! ZeusUpgrade.DeathTauntVoiceLines Zeus (Zeus_0267): I am head of this family, and expect a certain level of obedience. Zeus (Zeus_0268): Whoever stands against {#Emph}me {#Prev}tends to fare far worse than you did here. Zeus (Zeus_0269): To openly defy me is to force me to make an example out of you. Zeus (Zeus_0270): When next we meet, I shall forget this slight against me; but {#Emph}you {#Prev}had better not. Zeus (Zeus_0121): That was entirely unwise. Zeus (Zeus_0123): You need to be reminded of your place. Zeus (Zeus_0124): Best not to anger me again. ZeusUpgrade.FirstSpawnVoiceLines Melinoe (Melinoe_0638): The lightning sigil...

Zeus (Zeus_0351): My lightning bolt is yours! Zeus (Zeus_0246): Of course! Zeus (Zeus_0248): Begone from this mountain! Zeus (Zeus_0251): Out with you all! Zeus (Zeus_0352): Young lady, I daresay!

ZeusUpgrade.UpgradeMenuOpenVoiceLines Melinoe (MelinoeField_5020): Lord Uncle, I have many questions, too... ZeusWithAphrodite01 Zeus (Zeus_0159): You witches like to use your feminine wiles to get your way? Well {#Emph}now {#Prev}is the time to use every means at our disposal! Why, even Aphrodite has taken up the cause, not to mention the spear! Aphrodite (Aphrodite_0141): Oh I'm no novice with the spear, Lord Zeus. For there {#Emph}are {#Prev}those against whom not even my {#Emph}feminine wiles {#Prev}prove as effective as a sharp and pointy bit of metal tends to be. I think our Underworld kin can probably relate! ZeusWithApollo01 Zeus (Zeus_0099): Melinoë, my bright son Apollo, you'd be wise to learn a thing or two from {#Emph}him! {#Prev}Why he is just about the best at everything. Envy of Olympus, here to greet you, and to teach you, {#Emph}here he is! Apollo (Apollo_0090): I'm grateful for the flattery, Father. Though, your fair niece is more than capable of fending for herself. Still, an extra bit of insurance from the heavens couldn't hurt, right? ZeusWithAres01 Zeus (Zeus_0198): My warlike son Ares is never one to shy from conflict, but you'd never know it from a chat with him, young lady! Go on, Ares, {#Emph}greet {#Prev}her! And do try to seem relatively normal, would you now? Ares (Ares_0080): Come, Lord Father, what have we to hide? That which we perceive as normalcy may be far from the custom of the Underworld now. Let our kin see us for exactly who we are. ZeusWithDemeter01 Zeus (Zeus_0157): Our upstart enemies shall scatter to the Four Winds once we're through with them! Our challenge is to purge them while minimizing unspeakable devastation. And Lady Demeter {#Emph}could {#Prev}always make the Earth re-grow. Demeter (Demeter_0100): Well, Lord Zeus... it is much harder to re-grow where not a trace of life remains. But that's of little consequence right now. Let all who oppose us {#Emph}wither! {#Prev}And we shall salt the Earth beneath their feet. ZeusWithHephaestus01 Zeus (Zeus_0161): If there's one good thing about this war, it's that even our most reserved family members have to rise up and make themselves known! Or just make themselves known in the case of my good son Hephaestus here, {#Emph}haha! Hephaestus (Hephaestus_0120): {#Emph}Ah! {#Prev}Another one of your fine jests there, Dad, and right in witchie's earshot too! Just when I thought he couldn't possibly stoop to my level, he continues to surprise. ZeusWithHera01 Zeus (Zeus_0097): Niece, I expect from you only the best behavior, manners, and performance in the presence of my dear beloved wife, without whom I would be the merest shadow of my greatness. Hera (Hera_0098): The truest words you've spoken in quite some time, Husband! And I'm more than just your {#Emph}dear beloved {#Prev}wife, aren't I? Seeing as I am the blasted Queen. Not that {#Emph}your {#Prev}authority or mine has been worth much of anything of late. ZeusWithHera02 Zeus (Zeus_0153): My command of the heavens is nothing compared to the strength of our family bond! The Queen and I have stood together through worse times than {#Emph}this. {#Prev}Haven't we, Dear? Hera (Hera_0100): {#Emph}Oh {#Prev}why, we've stood together now through more hard times than I can count! I daresay we're well past due for a break. Perhaps after our present difficulties finally subside? ZeusWithHestia01 Zeus (Zeus_0163): We're so accustomed to my sister-in-law Hestia being off on her own, why, we even stopped saving a seat in my palace! But she's here to stay this time, aren't you, Hes? Hestia (Hestia_0146): {#Emph}Oh{#Prev}, why, dearest Zeus, perish the thought that I would ever leave again! You've given me such a warm welcome after all, having removed my blasted seat only to put it back. Though, let's not worry hot stuff here with all of that! ZeusWithPoseidon01 Zeus (Zeus_0085): Melinoë, one tidbit you ought to know about our side of the family is, while we may not agree on each detail, in the end, we always find ourselves on the same side of every challenge that we face. Isn't that right, Brother? Poseidon (Poseidon_0083): Oh, absolutely, Lord Zeus! When you get down to it, our clan is of a single will! Although I guess, you — {#Emph}w-w-we {#Prev}don't count Chronos in that estimation, do we, now? He's technically family, but very much opposed to everything we stand for! ZeusWithPoseidon02 Zeus (Zeus_0155): We are as one big family upon Olympus, and we pride and celebrate our differences. So many varying perspectives to account for at all times! Although Poseidon here, we always manage to see eye-to-eye, don't we... Poseidon (Poseidon_0266): Oh that we {#Emph}do{#Prev}, most certainly, Brother! Not always right away, and there are some occasions when I might decide elsewise if it were solely up to me, but even {#Emph}still! {#Prev}You always have your head up in the clouds, where smart ideas form!
