Sleep now. Go on—drift off into a dream.

I... I see. Of course. What was I thinking? I was there when we buried the Divine Dragon. I held that lifeless hand in mine as we said our goodbyes...

I'll tell you how I figured it out. Divine and Fell Dragons can both summon Emblems, right? But they don't do it the same way. Divine Dragons pray. Fell Dragons, though... They use invocations.

And I'll fight. I'll do whatever you want. But please... don't leave me... Mother!

In the midst of all that hurt, I found you. Innocent and pure. No evil intentions of your own. And never treated with love. Though you were my enemy, I couldn't bring myself to kill you. Instead, I bonded with you. The day we first met, I stopped being alone.

Our final battle lies ahead. Now, it's time to engage.

Time, it's moving too fast... I can't seem to keep up...

I'll become a better fighter—a better leader. I'll make sure no one—not one more person—loses their life under my command.

Lady Veyle was all alone for so long. And she was so excited to see her family again. She never got to enjoy it. And now she never will. It's all so terrible...

We have long prayed for a savior to aid us. And your appearance seems to be our answer. It is unfortunate. I would have preferred never to see you again.

I... I see. Of course. What was I thinking? I was there when we buried the Divine Dragon. I held that lifeless hand in mine as we said our goodbyes...

But there is one who knows the truth. In this world, there is no future. My lonely heart does not beat here.

I did what I... had to do... to keep you out of harm's way. I wanted to make up for all the times I couldn't protect you. All the times I wasn't there for you... I'm so sorry... Veyle... for all those awful things I said.

As you command, my princess. We'll crush them with the hammer of justice.

This talk of turning into a dragon... Mother could. Can I? I have no idea if I can. Or how.

Finally! It took you long enough! Very rude to keep a princess waiting. Very rude, indeed!

But I must do my duty... or else Father will dispose of me. He'll feed me to the Corrupted. That scares me more than anything... I want to live. To see tomorrow. And the day after that.

Now, perhaps I should find Lord Sombron's child. What was that one called? Oh, why bother? He disposes of them all. One must never, ever grow attached. That would just make me sad.

Sombron had turned his back on you. Your life was in danger... Both you and Lumera wished, above all else, to be a family.

To reunite with her, and then lose her so soon... I can only imagine how painful that was. For now, allow yourself to grieve, knowing that I grieve with you.
