Arrrrrgh!

Why?! Why have you forsaken me?

You alright?

Yes. Check Faelan for injuries.

I'm fine! Dead woman worries too much!

Clearly. It's a good thing Ilm gave us that empowerment.

Arrrrrgh!

You will pay for this! I swear it!

Rambling, delusional, and defeated. Why don't they ever change?

More demons are coming. I am now free of that noisome oath. I will bar their way, but be quick about it.

Understood. Thank you, Ilm.

Thank you, strange water thing!

Now then, what were you planning here?

I won't tell you, crone!

And I won't ask again. Let's see how your fur holds up to being ripped off!

Agggggh! Mercy!

Talk!

And we'll give you a quick death.

Swear it! Aaaagh!

I said talk!

We were... Agh...

There were plans for a Death March to move once again upon the mainland.

Ahh!

You are no longer useful to us, Zael. Die.

Nooooooooo!

Now that we have that settled, let us return to more pressing business.

Congratulations on surviving this far! But you're too late. As usual.

And all thanks to you, Inquisitor! All thanks to you.

Wh-What?

Dooo youuuu rememmmmberrrr yourrr choice?

Malachus.

I remember!

Cowerrrrr in fearrrr, worm! What is yourrrr choiceeee, mortal oneeee?

I choose neither! I spit on you and your ilk! I will find my child my way, without your demonic aid!

Ahahahahahaha, such bravado. Noteworthy, yet useless. The future becomes clearer with every decision you make.

Tell us, how's your head?

Maestron. What are you planning?

Freedom, vampire. Freedom! For too long we have been confined to this cycle of events, doomed to be defeated by our own schemes time and again.

But no more! Thanks to your friend here and your company's adventures, you've fulfilled your roles! Doom is--

Who are you?! How dare you meddle in our affairs, outsider?!

We defy you, Raug overlords! Hope will still prevail, no matter how hard you scheme!

Ngah! Delusional fools, all of you! And your unseen ally will fail to aid you in your hour of need!

Kill them! Kill them all!

Come. We are leaving. Mind the vertigo.

Ugh. I need to sit down.

An odd bunch to play heroes, don't you think?

Maybe. We're definitely giving it our best.

Far-away helping friend... They felt them too?

It seemed that way. Any ideas as to who it may be?

Ilm? Do you know?

Yes. I have divined their name.

And?

Now is not the time. But it will be known, when fate dictates it.

Whatever! We did it!

Yes. Yes we did, little one.

Awooooooooooo!

I'm coming, little one. Hold on.
