0. Yeesh. You can't tell forward from back in here.
1. Let's try over that way, maybe?
2. Good idea. It seems different from the rest of [cdb]the void.
3. Look out!
4. Ah!
5. Ah!
6. So it failed. Has my skill degraded that sharply over [cdb]the years?
7. Arval.
8. Arval.
9. I have been searching for you.
10. And look what you brought me—the three who fancy [cdb]themselves sovereigns, ruling over that abomination's [cdb]wretched spawn.
11. What unexpected luck. I do hope you are all [cdb]prepared to face death this day.
12. So you're Arval, huh? Sorry, but I can't say dying here [cdb]sounds all that appealing.
13. What we'd really like is for you to lift this weird [cdb]sorcery of yours and send us home.
14. Oh, I do not think that will be happening. But even if I desired to accede to your wishes, the Great Forbidden Spell of Zahras is a one-way journey.
15. None can escape this eternal darkness.
16. Are you certain? Would killing you not accomplish [cdb]the task?
17. Something tells me they wouldn't lay this trap only to [cdb]suffer the same fate as us.
18. If this being can free themselves from this void, [cdb]it stands to reason that so too can we.
19. Then try cutting me down if you like! Sadly, what you [cdb]see before you is but an illusion.
20. I have a task to fulfill, and once it is accomplished, I shall leave this place—alone.
21. Arval, wait!
22. Arval, wait!
23. What task are you talking about? Why did you use [cdb]me? And what're you trying to do here?!
24. What task are you talking about? Why did you use [cdb]me? And what're you trying to do here?!
25. Ah, but you are mistaken. I am not Arval.
26. My name is Epimenides, an ordinary man who vowed [cdb]to kill the beast which set the earth ablaze.
27. Do you not comprehend my purpose? I must save this [cdb]world and its true people!
28. That is why I chose to pass my consciousness down [cdb]through the ages.
29. And you... You are the vessel for that consciousness.
30. What does that mean?
31. What does that mean?
