β there doesnβt seem to be any danger at the moment. β
β history and legend sometimes blur together. β
β i think youβve caused quite a stir since your arrival hereβ¦ β
β i think you do look weird. so there, chew on that. β
β i feel like i should apologize for dragging you into this mess. β
β thereβs no need to get so worked up. β
β you allowed your heart to falter. that is the quickest way to fall on the battlefield. β
β iβll fight by your side till the very end. β
β as with any leader, it is my duty to safeguard and protect my people. β
β you are burdened with a mission of monumental importance. β
β it was my hubris that set us on this path. β
β i get it, youβre young β you feel invincible.Β β
β i thought you had harder bark on you than that. β
β this little village used to be as quiet as a dusty old tomb. β
β i donβt know who you are, but iβm sorry you have to see me like this. β
β i feel a lot better after talking to you. β
β you should have seen the look on your face. β
β please, no need to look so petrified. β
β youβre alone too, right? alone is good. β
β you have disgusting, unwavering commitment to do βgoodβ.Β β
β i apologize. i keep getting lost in my thoughts. β
β youβre finding this all a little scary, arenβt you? β
β did you hear me singing? how embarrassing.Β β
β you might want to make other plansβ¦if you value your life. β
β i suppose fate really wanted the two of us to run into each other again. β
β you use your power to crush the weakβ¦to serve evil. β
β you will die knowing that you failed.Β β
β you heard that strange voice too, right? β
β this is a lot to learn all of a sudden, i know. β
β did you know if you put your ear to a well, you can hear the wailing of the dead? β
β i see the shadow of death upon your face. β
β it seems skill and confidence is in short supply. β
β that pride will be your downfall. β
β iβve gotta say. your stories are always so wild. β
β did i manage to keep a smile on my face?Β β
β you take for granted the godlike power you have in your hands. β
β nevertheless, i canβt shake this strange tightness in my chest. β
β why do i get the feeling weβre being watched?Β β
β sorry you had to listen to me go on and on like that. β
β anyway, iβm sorry for teasing you. β
β uhβ¦whatβs with the face? β
β what was it you wanted to discuss with me in private? β
β were you looking for me? iβm honored! β
β one cannot accomplish great feats without allies at oneβs side. β
β itβs important to help each other in times of need. β
β i hate the way rain feels, but i donβt mind how it sounds. reminds me of waves crashing on the beach. β
β you look distracted. whatβs wrong?Β β
β things with βlegendaryβ in the title are usually just stories. β
β do you really think i hadnβt realized your deceit?Β β
β what are you doing in a place like this? β
β i never thought iβd see such a marvel with my very own eyes. β
β thank goodness. if something had happened to youβ¦iβ¦ β
β how did you find this place? what cruel ploy are you plotting? β
β it seems that the world is still in a wretched state. β
β enough is enough! you are not acting like yourself! β
β i can see right through you, whether you want me to or not. you are yielding to the fear of losing someone you love again. β
β i can see it in your face. i donβt hold that special place in your heart. β
β light and dark - one cannot exist without the other. β
β do not get lost in the past. you must keep moving ever onward. β
β it is best when those who care for each other are open and honest, even when it is difficult. β
β push yourself too hard and you become your own worst enemy. β
β look at all those scarsβ¦you must have fought a lot in your life. β
β i am hesitant to admit it, but our success was thanks to your support. β
β you look very pleased with yourself. β
β i was giving in to my fear of once more losing someone i love. β
β hold still, and donβt fret. iβll take care of everything. this wonβt hurt a bit. β
β did you think iβd deceived you? perish the thought. β
β iβm always here. should you ever have need of me, you need only ask. β
β itβs amusing, isnβt it? our little back-and-forths. β
β i just donβt want anyone to drop dead right in front of me. thatβll give me some nasty dreams. β
β there it is. that inexplicable smirk upon your face. β
β what were you praying for? long life? wealth? β
β you get even cuter when youβre blushing. β
β it is all right. i swear it. i am not going anywhere. β
β i never thoughtβ¦never dared dreamβ¦that iβd live to see the day we could all laugh together again like this. β
β iβve seen enough faces in this job that i can tell from looking at one if someoneβs lying to me. β
β youβll come visit me again, right? β
β i hope that ours will be a long and profitable relationship. β
β this must be what the end of the world looks like. β
β thereβs nothing wrong with asking if you can help, you know. β
β i knew there was a bright smile in there somewhere. β
β letβs not pretend it wonβt look absolutely dashing on you. β
β no matter. you will not live to see another sunrise. β
β you cannot hope to escape your fate. β
β iβm sorry. i know iβm always throwing you into dangerous situations. β
β hear my name and tremble in fear. β
β it seems you have met with great danger once more. β
β i actuallyβ¦secretly followed you. β
β thereβs no shortage of strange happenings these days. β
β anyone tell you itβs rude to stare? β
β sitting here feeling sorry for myself wonβt solve anything. β
β at my ageβ¦well, very little surprises me. β
β there are more mysteries waiting for us down here, i know it. β
β iβm only telling you this because you seem like a trustworthy sort. β
β we are bound by fate, you and i. β
β iβd have preferred to stay with you a while longer. β
β you will have to do something about that fear eventually. β
β now i live for vengeance. β
β so youβre our saviour, eh? i thought youβd be tougher looking. β
β sorry about that. the sadness just gets to me sometimes. β
β you were involved, werenβt you? β
β iβm sorry, iβm just surprised. i mean, you donβt seem all that strong. β
β did iβ¦see what i thought i saw? β
β just forget it. itβs not important. β
β we cannot afford to stand still at a time such as this. it is imperative that we act. β
β disappointed that i wasnβt shocked and aghast at the very sight of you? β
β you must be pretty strong beneath the surface. β
β what happened? is this your doing? β
β i can see right through you, whether you want me to or not. β
β just watching you move, i can tell youβre no ordinary person. β
β whatever is troubling you? why are you hesitating so? β
β goodβ¦evilβ¦thatβs the futile perspective of narrow-minded beings. β
β are you here because youβve heard about me? β
β one difficulty has been overcome, and yet another has appeared in its wake. β
β once i rest up, iβll be hitting the road again. iβve stayed here too long as it is. β
β we have to train. we have to get stronger. we have to get ready for whatβs next. β
β is everyone all right? nobodyβs injured? β
β iβm the one who made such a mess of things, after all. β
β it is a mighty opponent, certainly, but we must not falter. β
β whatβs with that look? you donβt think i can do it? β
β whatβs the matter? you can tell me, weirdly handsome dude. β
β why is everybody so quick to believe the silliest things? β
β i dearly wish that i could believe what you are saying. however, at presentβ¦i simply cannot do that. β
β wow, listen to me. with every breath, i spew out brilliance. β
β for a long time, i have been concerned that you are holding yourself back. β
β i feel like you werenβt getting what i was going for there. way to kill the mood. β
β canβt talk my way out of this oneβ¦ β
β this is normally where iβd give you a chance to respond, but iβd like to talk about me instead. β
β never forget that we are all standing beneath the very same sun. the only distance that matters is the distance between our hearts. β
β i lost my head a little there. iβm not too proud of the way i behaved. β
β iβm sure an answer will come to you. wisdom takes time. β
β i must truly be getting on in years to have allowed a mere monster to catch me off guard. β
β you really donβt know your place, do you? β
β do you really think we hadnβt realised your deceit? β
β you heart is like a chickenβs egg β easily given but easy to break. β
β your wounds were severeβ¦i am relieved to see you escape death. β
β iβm told that your skill in swordplay is unmatched. β
β what, youβve never heard of me? β
β where were you? you disappeared on me so suddenly. i was worried sick. β
β oh my. iβm surprised to hear you say such a thing. β
β i wonder how many times weβve met in our past lives. β
β so what if you donβt say what you really think. i wonβt hold that against you. β
β though our time together has been brief, i am so happy that we finally met. β
β whatβre you thinking, strolling into this war zone? β
β youβll keep your trap shut if you know whatβs good for you. β
β i sense a fierce battle ahead, the likes of which we have never before faced. β
β i can feel the moonlight pouring down, cleansing my spirit. β
β youβre not needed round here any more. β
β that mystery just leads us straight into another. β
β it is very difficult to rest peacefully when things like this happen. β
β sometimes iβm so smart, i scare myself a little. β
β ever try getting info out of a boulder? well, that boulderβs ME. β
β i prefer to keep work and my personal time separate. β
β sure, you look like a strong breeze could blow you over, but you are solid as stone. β
β that pride will be your downfall. β
β iβve been abandoned by loveβ¦by luckβ¦by happiness. β
β at lastβ¦i have been waiting for you to arrive. β
β i am stunned. i am in complete and utter awe with you. β
β despite all we have endured, my feelings for you have never altered. they never shall. β
β am i some sort of villain? or a force for good? β
β iβm just fated to be unhappy. steer clear or youβll catch my misfortune. β
β youβre your own worst enemy sometimes. β
β i will crush any opposition. i will rule. β
β thatβs an old dangerous road absolutely crawling with monsters. β
β now that youβve seen it, i canβt let you live. β
β you look like a gentle soul who wouldnβt hurt anything. β
β my bodyβ¦my mindβ¦everything. iβll sacrifice it all to destroy you. β
β i had almost forgotten the thrill of battle. that feeling as blood surges in my veinsβ¦ β
β i bet evil always scatters when you show up. β
β itβs important to remember that luck and love arenβt things that run out. sometimes they just take the long way to get to you. β
β iβm gonna make my ancestors proud today. β
β this world should be shrouded in darkness, not bathed in insufferable light. β
β it would have been moreβ¦satisfying to overcome a worthy foe. β
β a mere mortal will not stand in my way. β
β youβd walk awayβ¦from someone in need? β
β you have proven yourself, and you no longer need me. β
β i have some heartbreaking news to share. this will be tough to bear, but i ask that you stay strong. β
β you might think of this as βhush money,β andβ¦yes. thatβs what it is.. β
β now, letβs both pretend like this never happened. β
β you might think iβm a hopeless cowardβ¦and you wouldnβt be entirely wrong. β
