1. Where...am I?
  2. Where...am I?
  3. Let's hold off on the weapons for now, OK? Probably [cdb]best you don't move at all, actually.
  4. Huh? What are you doing here, Claude? Glad to see [cdb]you're OK, at least.
  5. Huh? What're you doing here, Claude? Glad to see [cdb]you're OK, at least.
  6. Not sure "OK" is the word I'd go with. Dimitri and I [cdb]got sucked into some weird magic vortex.
  7. One of your making, I can only presume.
  8. ...
  9. ...
  10. When we came to, we were sprawled on the ground [cdb]here. Charming place, if you ask me.
  11. I take it you don't remember what happened.
  12. You changed—attempted to strike at us. We were [cdb]thankfully able to subdue you, at least temporarily...
  13. But you came to and fled not long after. You were, [cdb]by all accounts, a different person entirely.
  14. I guess that...kinda rings a bell.

  16. The last thing I remember is Arval telling me to slay [cdb]the Ashen Demon. At least, I think it was Arval.

  18. Arval?
  19. The voice in my head. We've known each other for a [cdb]few years now.
  20. The voice in my head. We've known each other for a [cdb]few years now.
  21. Uh...huh.
  22. Pretty out there, right? This is why I never [cdb]mentioned it.
  23. Sounds pretty out there, right? This is why I never [cdb]mentioned it.
  24. And you claim this "Arval" suddenly decided to turn [cdb]on you?
  25. I know how it sounds, but yeah.
  26. I know how it sounds, but yeah.
  27. There are two things I can say for sure.
  28. There are two things I can say for sure.
  29. The first is that Arval's magic is what dragged us all [cdb]in here. And the second...is that no one's in my [cdb]head anymore.

  31. What? How can you be sure?
  32. Because I don't feel them. At least, not in my mind. Arval's somewhere else now. Somewhere distant.

  34. Well that's vague. How are we supposed to make [cdb]heads or tails of any of this?
  35. At the very least, I believe your account well enough [cdb]to say you're no longer a threat to us.
  36. Right. We can save all that metaphysics stuff for some [cdb]other time.
  37. Anyhow, you wouldn't happen to know a way out of [cdb]this dark void...place, would you?
  38. About that. I know I said distant, but Arval's [cdb]definitely here with us somewhere.

  40. If we can find them and figure out what magic they [cdb]used on us, we might just be able to escape.

  42. You sure are optimistic for someone who's surrounded [cdb]by horrible nothingness.
  43. Ngh... It isn't as though we have any alternatives.
  44. We should take a look around. Perhaps we can learn [cdb]more about this place in the process... Hm?
  45. Uh, Dimitri? Where are you going?
