"Your death proved to everyone that Lodur was somewhat right. Mortals are truly unpredictable savages."
"But... why? I don't know... why."
"We must work together, Sirius. Even though we've both lived very different lives, we're united by a purpose and a goal. We'll stop these wars and let peace reign once more!"
"... We will, Eulogy. With our allies by our side, nothing can stop us."
"Mom... I'll have to live up to your expectations. I wonder if I can be as inspiring as both you and Mother."
"Sirius Svanhild Volsung is your full name. When I was lonely, spending all my time sitting in my lonesome cave, I would peer from a crack in the ground to look at the stars. Sirius would always be shining. Similarly, you are a light in the darkness. A family is more than I could ever ask for, and however long I have left, I shall love you with my all. You look so much like Sivrit, it's crazy to me, but... you've gotten my fangs. However, you are without the curse I have, something that relieves me. Let your life be a long one, my dear child."
"You're so kind, Mother. I'm not sure how I can repay you for all of these years. My friends say that there's no need to because it's supposed to be normal for a Mother, but still. I feel bad. Please let me know if you'd like any gifts for this upcoming Crusaders' Dusk!"
"My beautiful, golden child! You are such a cute, little baby! Oh, Sirius. I can't wait to love you with all my heart! You'll live a better life than Kriem and me! Hehe. Where am I going to start? I've gotten so many baby clothes from the villagers and so many prayers, it's honestly a lot! Why, I think I'm all set for your youngest years! Look at me rambling on again. I wonder if you'll even remember me saying all of this stuff, hehe! Well, it's approaching nighttime, so I'll leave you be. Sleep well, my love."
"Darling, you're as daring as they come. Running away from your gigantic family like that takes a lot of guts. I can't imagine how it was like living under their oppressive roof. You came out way stronger, though. Even with your vampiric condition, you're still going! Oh, Creator! And I love the way you go on about those little plants you study about. I can barely remember them, but seeing your eyes light up with glee always brightens up my day. Let's stick together for as long as we can, Kriem. I want to spend the rest of my life with you!"
"Oh, Sivrit... Your daring is just as they say, and I'm the first to witness it. I hope you remember that one time you diverted the course of the Queen's men into the forest. I was terrified! I thought it wouldn't end well. Yet, you came back with only a few bruises and scratches. The only thing I can truly say is that I want you to be more careful. I know... I don't have the longest time to live, and I wish to spend the remainder with you. I want to see you smile at me and... cherish me. Is that selfish?"
"You know? Didn't think I'd sail over the ocean. Didn't think I'd run into a swarm of imugyeoh. Very glad I did, though. Kriemhilt and I did not do enough to prepare, frankly! Heh! You know how I feel, don't you? Rushin' headfirst into things without a second thought... I could'a been an enemy, right? I could've killed you right there! But, nope, you decided to trust me, and I'm glad you did, Myriah. Let me know if there are any overseas things you need me to do. You bet Kriem and I will bolt over there as fast as we can!"
"Myriah, be careful. I know you like to rush head-first into situations, but right now, we have to wait. I know this war between my sister and I was inevitable, but I don't wish for my closest friends to fall fast."
"Thinking about you and your habits is quite ironic, now."
"When shall you see that my love for you is greater than all else...? When shall you feel the same?"
"I know not. However, you yourself seem quite interested in participating in chaotic behavior nowadays. I will need to monitor that."
"My Creator, I thank you for granting me rulership over the domain of dreams. It is an interesting world, seeing the machinations of mortals. Viewership of these displays leads to my great hope in their actions in the far future. I am also granted a unique view that neither you nor I can replicate. Shall they prevail in the face of failure?"
"If you were to be recovered in the future, then your desire for a calmer world would not have been appeased. However, I overhear that in one country, a mortal overthrew an amalgamation of mortals and gods. I wonder if she shall be able to maintain the peace she has achieved. If so, then perhaps there is an ounce of hope after all."
"My job is done. When you awaken again, hopefully, the world will not be consumed in war."
"There is the chance you may return, one day..."
"... Was it worth it, my death?"
"I have a bit of hope, now. That is all I will say."
"You know... I wonder why you changed your mind about mortals after all these years. It seems as if Father was right all along."
"The doom times are far off, Aegaea. Besides, don't you think that Iferclu's way of dealing with things will cause more trouble in the long run?"
"Don't reason with them, Azur. You're making a grave mistake. You'll be hurt in the end."
"Have you ever thought you might be further exacerbating the situation?"
"My liege, I shall delay the darkest times for as long as I can. If mortalkind comes to despise me, then so be it. To extend the lifespan of this world, I shall make sacrifices."
"You... are too soft."
"We will protect the world from mortals' actions so that we can prosper."
"She knows her way with an ax, but she must leave that shell of hers. How do you expect to befriend anyone while you're struggling with your words?"
"She's um... real stern... but, she can be nice once you get to know her."
"I... wish I could be as charismatic as you, Azur. You're poised and confident, striking up a conversation with anyone you find interesting! When I try, I fail miserably! When you talk about your ideas for the Serpere Reefs, they're so neat! And, uh, yep. I'm not great with words, but Azur, you're my friend!"
"Stellar, you seem like you're the only sane person around these days. You don't get involved with all the wars in the world; you simply travel and write notes! I wish I could be just as carefree as you, but the Creator knows that that's not possible for me."
"When we first found out about our family back at Rowan's inn? That was the craziest moment of my life! All my life, I always wondered if I had some distant relatives, and it turns out that I was right! You're crazy with sewing, so calm and neat! I could barely hold a needle, dude! I'd probably snap it! You're real good with a lance, too! Boy! I wish I could be so talented..."
"My daughter... Millenia ago, I hadn't thought children were in my future. I thought I'd be lonely forever. Now, I've got two kids, hehe! I'm getting a little off-topic Annie, but just know that you're very special. Whatever you pursue in the future, I'll back you!"
"Oh, Clare... I was very surprised when you picked up the staff. Neither I nor your mother are staff users, but it's not like it's a bad thing. In fact, it's very pleasant! The way you cast your spells kind of reminds me of Wrym, to be honest. Though, unlike her, you're open to others. I'm... glad. Please let me know if you're stressed. We'll work out a way to better it, Clare."
"Vaero's a sensitive one, that's for sure, but she's brave enough to fight for the good of everyone. When we were back in Hugli, there were some cowards who spouted some nonsense about bein' bothered! Not her! She can be a little scared at times, but she'll pull through and wow you with her dancing! Not to mention, she's also a baker. Mmm, the stuff she makes is delicious!"
"Quite nice, but... doubtful. We're a lot alike in that regard. She's... er, comfortable to be around."
"Honestly, I had not expected to become a parent of sorts later on. The idea seemed rather unlike me, but millennia later, here I am as a step-parent to such a talented boy. Chigai, known as the Scion of Peace. I say that the title the country's people have given him shall hold up for years to come. Although I am unfortunately unable to see him often, when I can look after him, it is a thrilling experience to see how much he has developed. I remember he struggled with holding a sword the last I saw him, and now, his skill with one is soon to resemble his Father's. With that said, I am unsure if I will... be able to see him soon. However, I am sure that in the future, everyone shall see in him what I see: A man with great kindness and understanding with the will to do what is right."
"Saturn, I suggest that you be careful, for the world can be unpredictable in ways you cannot imagine. I acknowledge your expertise in managing your own affairs, but still, you must be alert. There must not be another case like Lyra's or Noxem's. You are a unique person of many talents, so preferably, I would rather you stay at my side."
