Dragon War!
Platinum
Location: Travel Map » Dragonspine » 21: Dragon War Platinum
«You can skip the cutscene at any time.»
«Scene: Death can be seen. To the left, a silhouette of an unknown figure. The sand in the hourglass on Death's hand falls to the bottom, and the hourglass rotates. The flow of sand to the bottom of the hourglass suddenly stops post-rotation. Death vigorously shakes the hourglass to no avail.»
Death: That's it then. It is time.
«The silhouette is revealed to be Galian, who enters the scene.»
Death: Are they ready...
Galian: They shall have to be. I can do nothing further to stop this for it is older than I, and my own coming is tied to it. Warn your master that his hold has been broken.
«Death fades away from the scene.»
Galian: This dream ends now. But know this, «You»: they are coming. Be prepared.
«The scene fades to black. Over at The Southern Ice Wastes of Tjeli, a massive crack forms across the icy land. The land splits open to reveal a silhouette of a dragon, who rapidly materializes into a human form.»
Dragon ???: The threat to our ascension has been recognized. We shall take his measure.
«In Battleon's town square, a blue glow envelops Galanoth. Suddenly, Galanoth vanishes!»
Dragon ???: He shall not interfere.
«Over at Dragonspine, Cyrus and Sheila face the same fate as Galanoth!»
Dragon ???: Nor shall they. The dragons born of the world shall have no guidance in this and nor shall he.
«The scene fades to black. Long ago...»
Galian: (thinking) This is but a memory for me. I stood then at the edge of a vast chasm or a great corridor. Stretched before me was time itself and I saw possibilities and they were wondrous and terrible.
Galian: (thinking) My fears were not alleviated by my most recent visit to the Chamber. I had argued with the Elemental Lords for some time about their culpability in the corruption that still consumed Lore.
Galian: (thinking) I am showing you this, Lauren, because you must know. I have written this before. The next part is the most relevant.
Galian: (thinking) While Lore has known for a while of my youth and the great harm done by my people in Inilar, they have not long known what I would have had them forget.
Galian: (thinking) What I tried to uncreate. One reason among many, in truth, while Tjeli was cast beneath the ice. I was tied up in it. I could not see. This scene was earlier but it set the stage.
Galian: (thinking) While each and every one of the Elemental Lords had aided me in casting Tjeli into the sea so many years ago, none would admit that their own temples have become dangerous places.
Galian: (thinking) What you face now is tied to your destiny and it is a corruption so old I cannot uncreate it, for doing so might unravel myself.
Lauren: It is time, love.
Galian: I know... I am not fit to be your gardener, no less a refiner for someone else.
Lauren: Your lack of certainty affirms our choice.
Galian: Why do you encourage them in their complacency?
Lauren: Their nature is to build. Your burden is not their burden. They cannot see because they are within the problem even as they ignore it and the world.
Galian: I sometimes wonder if my burden is your burden either. I sit here and know fully that the path we are on will eventually cause us to come into conflict with each other, both directly and indirectly, and I despair of it.
Lauren: And once you leave, no doubt so will I, as I will forget our arrangement, as I must, lest my knowledge cause me to hesitate. We must do as we must do.
Galian: (thinking) Let us move forward now. For what happens next you have seen already. Xilar was tempted by my voice.
Galian: Xilar, son of Xilan...
«The scene suddenly greys out, and you appear in Tjeli, with Galian facing you.»
«You»: What is this? Am I dreaming?
Galian: This is happening. It has happened. They are awake, and they have taken Cyrus and Galanoth so the dragons born naturally of this world are without leaders.
Galian: They hope to sow corruption and seed chaos. Such was their purpose.
«You»: Who has taken them? What is happening?
Galian: The platinum dragons. They are coming. My people, they are responsible.
Galian: They... I hesitate to use the word, for it is such an affront to my wife. My people "created" these beings as a war weapon.
Galian: Bred from dragons and man, and imbued with fell purpose by my people's dark genetic manipulations.
Galian: They were sent to conquer the world... and they were used as instruments by the army that led to my death.
Galian: And so their rise is my rise. To uncreate them is to undo myself. But they could not be controlled and would have consumed all life on Lore.
Galian: They were wily, clever, but ultimately corrupt. Beings of that nature are born of manipulation of nature, but they are not capable of being manipulated. Except for by one...
«Erebus enters the scene.»
Erebus: My ears are burning, Uncreator. Would you tell them the truth? How the powers of this world. United entire. Every one of them. And they, as one, turned to me for aid.
Erebus: That as a whole they granted me access, because only I, outside of this world's time, could seal them away.
Galian: We did what we needed and we trapped them beneath the ice. But we knew, all of us.
Galian: Even you, shade. That they could not be forever contained. Even Death, as manipulative as he is, could not hold them.
Erebus: Indeed. I foresaw even then the time of their returning. And so I gave Death an hourglass to mark the time of their returning.
Erebus: A time when chosen others that he likewise could not hold would arise as well. That time has come.
Erebus: And who would have thought? They sing with the voice of the Birdies.
Galian: We thought it. We realized it some time ago. When we recognized in our new friends the truth. That they were chosen not merely now, but repeatedly.
Galian: Not simply for this task but for many. The Chosen have been always so.
Galian: And had you not been so wrapped up in your own schemes, you would have recognized it too, Erebus.
Erebus: Be that as it may. War has come and we must prepare these birdies to fly. For this of their many tasks even I will aid. Especially now that I have been so rudely yanked into the World.
«The scene fades to black...»

Galian: You have done well, «You». Luckily, that was one of my people's more manageable dangers. Much more fell things lie beneath the ice.
«The scene fades to black. Death can be seen holding his hourglass, which is working as per normal once again.»
Death: They have been returned to our control, lord.
«Back at Tjeli, a familiar set of floating ice cubes hovers above the sealed crevice. The ice cubes materialize, and Frigidere appears.»
