It caught up to me! ???: H-huh? Where did it go?! ???: And why am I still floating?! ???: Oof! ???: Thanks! ???: What was that?! ???: You've seen them before?! ???: Then would you mind lending me a hand? These things won't leave me alone! Sirius: The name's Sirius, and you are? Sirius: Later, first we get rid of these sheep monsters! Sirius: Like I said! Later! Sirius: I'll take care of the ones I see, you can take out the ones you see! Sirius: Well, it appears I'm afraid of giant mutated lizards now? Sirius: That was definitely something different. Sirius: It was also something much stronger than the shee– than these other things. Sirius: Yes... Sirius: Well, anyway, thanks for the help, <Character>. Sirius: Listen, when I was a kid there were these sheep that– Sirius: It's a perfectly rational fear! Sirius: What do you see then, brave <Class>? Sirius: Well, the woman that created those monsters... Sirius: The who? Sirius: Well, she... Sirius: She kidnapped my sister. Sirius: I... I don't know... Sirius: I made it to her boat and saw my sister for just a moment, before this Phobeist set those sheep– I mean, Feargeists, after me. Sirius: But now that they've been dealt with, I'm going back. Sirius: Thanks again for your help. Sirius: You're willing to help? Really? Sirius: Are you... "Sirius"? Sirius: Right. Sister kidnapped. Scary monsters. I'd appreciate your help. Falconreach (Book 3) Sirius: Hi, <Character>! It's nice to see you again! Quests! Sirius: Thanks, again, for the help. The sooner we rescue my sister, the better. Invite Sirius as a guest (DA Required; Locked) Talk Sirius: Certainly. What do you want to know? - Who are you?
Sirius: I'm a Rune Arcanum and a researcher of all things magic. I'm looking for my sister, and thanks to your help, I know we'll be able to save her! - Sister?
Sirius: My sister, Kassandra, and I are from the continent South of here. Sirius: We have traveled across Lore studying the different forms of magic we encounter. - Rune Arcanum? (Locked)
- South? (Locked)
- Forms of Magic? (Locked)
Storming the Boat Sirius: Well, my sister, Kassandra, and I are not from this continent. Sirius: We're from a continent south of here. Sirius: I don't know much about that. Sirius: The South is a pretty big place. Sirius: I haven't heard of anything like that, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Sirius: Kassandra, actually. Sirius: We are. Though she isn't my sister by blood. Sirius: Ever since we were little, our families were always close. Sirius: Her parents were actually the ones to introduce me to magic. Sirius: They used to teach me about all the different types of magics they had discovered during their travels. Sirius: They were supposed to teach me how to perform them all, until... Sirius: Well, they aren't with us anymore... Sirius: Anyway, after they passed, my parents sought to it that Kass was taken care of. Sirius: We were inseparable ever since. Sirius: Now we travel the world, studying the different magics that exist on Lore, like her parents would have wanted. Sirius: From the South, Azaveyr, and now, here. Sirius: She would love that. Sirius: Mostly. It's Rune Magic, a specialty of ours in the South. Sirius: This artifact allows me to use it. Sirius: It is an heirloom, passed down through my family for generations. Sirius: We aren't exactly sure how it works, but it seems to "focus" magic into something more potent. Sirius: But enough about me, what about you, <Character>? Sirius: That sounds a little more than "not much to tell"... Sirius: I take it this par for the course? Sirius: NononONONO! Sirius: Then you haven't seen Southern Sheep! Sirius: T-there's no way I'm fighting that thing! Sirius (inverted): I... Sirius (inverted): I'm... Sirius: Kass! What do you think you are doing!? Sirius: You know how afraid I am of those things!!! Sirius: I'm sorry, <Character>, for misleading you. Sirius: What are you talking about? What's going on? Sirius: If you tell me, I can help you! Sirius: Where did you get that? Sirius: You need to put that thing down and get away from it. Sirius: Nothing is coming for you. Sirius: That artifact is messing with your mind! Sirius: I won't let anything get you, Kass. Just put the artifact down. You'll see. Sirius: You know I would never lie to you! Sirius: This thing is messing with your mind! It's holding you hostage! Sirius: That's not true, Kass! Sirius: You know that if I didn't go after you, they would have sent Arcana to drag you back! Sirius: I just– Sirius: I'll explain later... Sirius: Kass, I know what you're thinking! Sirius: Don't do this! Sirius: <Character>, run! I don't want you getting sucked into this! Into the Fearscape Sirius: It's a Fearscape. Mine to be exact. A place that manifests one's most gruesome fears. Sirius: It's an advanced type of phobia magic her parents worked on. Sirius: She is like a sister to me. But the Kass I know and the "Phobeist" you have encountered in the past are one in the same. Sirius: I'm sorry for misleading you. Lying is a family specialty that I don't like to partake in. Sirius: I didn't want it to appear that I supported Kass's previous messes. Especially those you apparently have had to clean up. Sirius: I will admit the situation is worse than I thought. That artifact that Kass was holding seems to be feeding off her fears. Sirius: They're mages, similar to me. They are the Empire's special task force. Sirius: I knew once Kassandra ran away, they would most likely be sent to hunt her down. Sirius: I had to appeal to my father to send me instead. I convinced him that I could make her come back peacefully. Sirius: Kass said I used it as an excuse to leave the Capitol, and while that is partially true, I really just want to figure out *why* she ran away... Sirius: Unfortunately. Sirius: Please don't... Sirius: Please. Let's just find our way out of here so we can save Kass. Sirius: Finally! I am so ready to be out of this place! Sirius: Kass! Sirius: Come with us! You know this isn't like you! Sirius: I'm sorry, Kass, but this is for your own good... Sirius: I promised I would keep you safe. Sirius: Kass! Look at me. How are you feeling? Are you— Sirius: It... It was the only way I could think of saving you! Jungle Adventure ???: There you are! ???: Hold on! I'll get you out! Sirius: Looks like I made it just in time. Sirius: Now, Kass, would you mind telling us where we are? Sibling Bonds Sirius: Well why didn't you say so? I'll run ahead and see if I can find it! Sirius: It's nice to meet you, Lady Kassandra. I look forward to becoming friends! Sirius: It's alright, Lady Cassiopeia! I don't need any special treatment. I'm sure we will end up being friends eventually! Sirius: We both love magic, after all! And together, we are going to learn all the magic Lore and beyond has to offer! Sirius: Quick! Get behind me! Sirius: Are you alright?! Sirius: Don't worry, you're safe now. Sirius: I'll always be here to protect you! Sirius: I told you, Cassiopeia, you don't have to call me "Prince". Sirius: I shouldn't keep my father waiting! I'll be back later for my lesson! Sirius: Look at this new spell I can do, Kass! Sirius: Alcor sent me to get him some burn salves for him... Sirius: N-nothing... Never mind! Good night! Sirius: ... Sirius: My-my magic! It-it-it... It burns! Sirius: W-why? D-did I do something wrong? Why is my magic hurting me? Sirius: Hey! You two! I think I found something! Sirius: Get over here, you're going to want to see this! Across the Fearscape Sirius: See? Just over there! That looks pretty important, right? Sirius: That's the easy part. We'll just have to fight our way over! Follow me! Sirius: If we have a plan, then let's do it! Let's get out of here! Sirius: I'll get it to make a big sheep. What's the worst that can happen? Sirius: Here it comes! Get ready! Sirius: It's just a sheep. It's... just a sheep... Sirius: It was Nature necromancy! Those roots were all twisted around the bones! It was terrifying! Sirius: No, you! Sirius: Wha—! That's... that's not a sheep... Sirius: Me?! Sirius: The Imperial Crown. My biggest fear is... being Emperor? Sirius: I have no interest in being Emperor. Sirius: Kass, is that true? Sirius: Enough! You will not speak to my friends like this any longer! Sirius: Draw your weapons, and let us end this! Sirius: Speak for yourself! That was awful! Thank goodness that's over! Sirius: He was creepy! Sirius: Kass, you don't have to— Sirius: ...The creature that has haunted her dreams for years. Sirius: The legendary beast of the South that killed her parents... The Aker'varus Sirius: So this is it. The creature that took your parents from us. Sirius: I'm here this time... Sirius: We'll take it from here. Right, <Character>? Sirius: It wasn't! The Arcana were able to rescue Kass and fled! Sirius: Kass, I need you to snap out of it! Sirius: Just think of the Aker'varus as another species you've studied! Sirius: You have to have learned something right? I need you! Sirius: I got it! I know what I have to do! Sirius: You two, get behind me! Sirius: Don't worry. Like I said. Sirius (Past and Present): I'll always be here to protect you! Sirius: Stay back! Sirius: Ahhhhh! Sirius: Y-yeah, sounds good. Sirius: No... *pant*. Sirius: Let me give this one last try... Sirius: I know you're in there. Please, give me the power to get them out of here. Sirius: Did... did it work? Epilogue: Overcome Sirius: Kass! Sirius: W-Where's Kass?! Sirius: We have to go back! We have to make sure she's okay! Sirius: So it did work... The Celestial... Sirius: I have always felt its presence in the artifact, but I never thought it would ever communicate with me... let alone possess me. Sirius: I... I don't know. But... we have to find Kass! We have to! Sirius: Ahh! Hah... Sirius: No! I'm coming with you! Sirius: Alright... Okay... Sirius: ...Thank you, <Character> Sirius: ... Sirius: Yeah. Sirius: Yeah, we'll find her... Sirius: Yes... Yes, the pain is almost gone, now. Sirius: ... Sirius: I trust you, <Character>. If you didn't find her, then there was probably nothing to find down there. Sirius: Still... She could have escaped. She could still be out there. Sirius: ...I should start considering my next steps. Sirius: Though I plan to continue searching for Kass, I need to start taking my imperial tasks more seriously. Sirius: Facing that fear version of myself made me realize something. Sirius: I can't let the role of Emperor scare me. Sirius: Becoming Emperor is what I make of it, not the other way around. Sirius: Perhaps one day, my empire will be shaped by my vision, not fueled by backhanded tactics where secrets are power. Sirius: But I still have much to learn. More reason to stay in Greenguard, besides my search for Kass. Sirius: I... I will have to write a message to my father. Sirius: I'm not sure. My father has always been a hard man to read. Sirius: The nature of his position, I suppose. Sirius: I don't know if I'll have his support. The Empire is how it is under his rule, so... Perhaps he'll see me as a challenger. Sirius: Or maybe my mother could persuade him. She has always been... if not supportive, kinder, toward my endeavors. Sirius: And if that fails, I suppose they'll just send the Arcana to whisk me away... Sirius: Thank you, <Character>. That means more than you know. Sirius: I suppose... I should tend to my wounds. Sirius: Then I'd like to continue the search for Kass. Other information Completion of A Serious Encounter will unlock Sirius' presence in Falconreach (Book 3).
