Dialogue
*Thud*
*You and your dragon land inside the Tytan with a thud.*
<Character>: Ow ow ow.
<Character>: I'd have thought the inside of a giant whale would be... squishier.
If you have a Dragon Amulet:
<Dragon>: It's so bright in here! Where's all that light coming from?
<Character>: It's even hotter in here than–
Tytan: *Grrrrooooaaaargh!*
*You look up at the source of the noise.*
<Dragon>: Hello?
<Character>: What was–?
Tytan: *Bwhooooooah!*
<Dragon>: You can hear me?
<Character>: Of course I can hear you! What's that noise?
Tytan: *Hroooooooom...*
<Dragon>: It's... the Tytan! I can understand it!
<Dragon>: Well, it's not really talking, more like... speaking... ideas.
<Dragon>: Does that make sense?
<Character>: I... no, it doesn't.
Tytan: *Grrrrooooaaaargh!*
<Dragon>: I think I can talk to it!
<Character>: Great. Can you ask it to spit us out, then kindly go back through the portal?
<Dragon>: I'll try!
<Dragon>: Grand Tytan, can you please spit us out, then try to go back from where you came?
Tytan: *Hroooooaom!*
<Dragon>: It says... it can't. Not that it doesn't want to.
<Dragon>: I get the feeling that it physically can't. Like it's being forced to do this!
<Character>: Is it the Magesterium?
<Dragon>: I don't think so. Wouldn't The Golden Hand have told you if that were the case? Hmm.
<Dragon>: Grand Tytan, what is shackling you and keeping you against your will?
Tytan: *Bwhoooooooah...*
<Dragon>: Whoa.
<Character>: What?
<Dragon>: Give me a moment, it's a lot to process!
<Character>: It just went "bwoah" really loud, how is that-
<Dragon>: Okay, so, it's been like this for a very, very long time.
<Dragon>: It's... being forced to go wherever its chains take it, even though its masters are gone.
<Dragon>: <Character>, it's so old, and it's been enslaved for so long! We have to help it!
<Character>: Help it?!
*At first you appear enraged by your dragon's suggestion, but your expression softens.*
<Character>: Enslaved by what?
<Dragon>: The orb! The sun! We have to break the giant orb sun!
Tytan: *Grrrrooooaaaargh!*
<Dragon>: Let's go, <Character>! The Tytan is like a chained tog. I'm sure it'll be grateful if we free it!
<Character>: Well, you're the expert here, <Dragon>. Let's smash that orb.
Tytan: *Hrrrm?*
<Character>: What was that?
<Dragon>: Oh. It doesn't know what a tog is. Also it says you taste bad. And that you should feed me more Dragon Snax when we're done with this!
<Dragon>: And I deserve more belly rubs, and head pats, and–
<Character>: Just because I can't understand the Tytan doesn't mean I'm stupid. Let's get moving.
<Dragon>: Hmph. Fiiiiine.
If you don't have a Dragon Amulet:
<Dragon>: *Curious growl*
<Character>: It's even hotter in here than–
Tytan: *Grrrrooooaaaargh!*
*You look up at the source of the noise.*
<Dragon>: *Surprised chirp*
<Character>: What was–?
Tytan: *Bwhooooooah!*
<Dragon>: *Inquisitive roar*
<Character>: <Dragon>? Is everything okay?
Tytan: *Hroooooooom...*
<Dragon>: *Deliberative grumbles*
<Character>: I... are you talking to the Tytan?
Tytan: *Grrrrooooaaaargh!*
<Dragon>: *Affirmative chirp*
<Character>: Great. Can you ask it to spit us out, then kindly go back through the portal?
<Dragon>: *Polite, yet firm requesting growl*
Tytan: *Hroooooaom!*
<Dragon>: *Beckoning chirps*
<Character>: Well, you're the expert here, <Dragon>. I'll follow you!
<Dragon>: *Assertive growl*
Tytan: *Hrrrm?*
<Dragon>: *Joking chirps*
<Character>: You're talking about me, aren't you!
<Dragon>: *Innocent growl*
*You fight your way through various elementals until you find the sun orb enslaving the Tytan.*
If you have a Dragon Amulet:
<Dragon>: Here we are! We just need to beat this up, and the Tytan will be free!
<Character>: It's so... bright!
<Character>: But we've dealt with worse, haven't we, <Dragon>?
<Dragon>: Yeah! We got this!
If you don't have a Dragon Amulet:
<Dragon>: *Angry growls*
<Character>: It's the orb! It's so... bright!
<Character>: Are we supposed to break it?
<Dragon>: *Affirmative chirp*
<Character>: Then let's do this!
Battle! - begins battle with Stardriver A-014-S.
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
Run Away! - returns to The Greenguard Alliance - Rose Faction / Golden Hand Faction / Vind Faction.
*After the battle, the sun orb begins to vibrate rapidly, threatening to explode.*
<Character>: Oh, tell me this isn't–
Tytan: *PHHWOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARGH!*
*The Tytan's eyes widen as it projects an intense beam of light from its mouth–so intense, the recoil force sends the Tytan back through the rift; you and your dragon are ejected from the Tytan's mouth, and recovered mid-air by two Riftwalkers; once the Tytan is completely through the rift, Ostromir shrinks the rift down to a manageable size; the Riftwalkers return you and your dragon to Swordhaven, landing before Queen Victoria, Kara SuLema, and Melissa, as Vseslava watches on remotely.*
<Character>: Oof...
<Character>: I... think it worked.
<Character>: Whoa. My legs are all wobbly.
If you joined the Rose Faction / Golden Hand Faction:
<Character>: Alz'ein? Thank you for saving me, but... what are you doing here?
Alz'ein: Don't sweat it. The other Riftwalkers and I have been helping out the Vind.
Alz'ein: Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to uh, get out of the sun.
If you joined the Vind Faction:
<Character>: Thanks for the save, Alz'ein.
<Character>: Are you... doing alright?
Alz'ein: I'm fine, don't sweat it.
Alz'ein: We'll be going now, if you don't mind...
Queen Victoria: <Character>, you did it! The Tytan went back through, and The Golden Hand managed to shrink the rift!
Magus Hansa: I'm sure it looked impressive., Melissa: Great job, <Character>!, Kara SuLema: Well done, <Character>!
Vseslava: That's a Hero for you!, Ostromir: Nobody back home is going to believe this!
<Character>: I... wow. Thanks, everyone. But really, it's all thanks to <Dragon> too. I couldn't have done it without them.
If you have a Dragon Amulet:
<Dragon>: That's right! I'm the greatest ever! Fetch me my snacks, peons!
If you don't have a Dragon Amulet:
<Dragon>: *Haughty roar*
Queen Victoria: Thank you too, <Dragon>! I'm sure you were vital to the mission!
<Character>: Now... if you don't mind, I think I'm going to find a nice dark room and take a nap. I've had enough light for a lifetime.
Queen Victoria: Of course. I'll have some knights escort you and <Dragon> to the castle.
Queen Victoria: You've more than earned it. Don't worry, we'll take care of cleaning up the remainder of the invasion!
*Meanwhile, back at Sepulchure's secluded home, Lynn is sparring with a training dummy.*
Lynn: Your life is fore– f– four feet, foul beast!
*Lynn hears the sound of a twig crack and glances back worriedly.*
Lynn: Pa–!
Lynn: –pa...
Sepulchure: Nnngh...
Sepulchure: Pack your important things, princess. We're leaving.
Lynn: Wha– W-Who did this to you, papa?
Lynn: I'll... I'll...
Lynn: I'll kill them!
Sepulchure: I appreciate it, sweetie, but even this is out of our hands.
Sepulchure: We are leaving.
Lynn: B-but all my–
Sepulchure: What have I taught you?
Lynn: My–
Lynn: *Sigh*
Lynn: "Material things are just that. You can't rebuild a kingdom without knocking a few houses over."
*Lynn pauses, knowing her father is right.*
Lynn: I- I'll go get my bags ready.
Sepulchure: That's a good girl. Let us move with haste.
Lynn: Can I at least bring my pet along?
*Sepulchure looks equal parts confused and worried about Lynn's unknown "pet".*
Sepulchure: Your... pet?
*Lynn smiles proudly as it is revealed her "pet" is Jimmy the Blue Flying Eye; Warlic's spy eye; meanwhile, back in Swordhaven, Queen Victoria has returned to the throne and has gathered everyone to report on the day's events.*
Queen Victoria: And with that, the Swordhaven Rift has been dealt with. Reports, please.
Vseslava: We've brought the rift back under Magesterium control. Nothing else should be coming out from it.
Ostromir: It would be advisable to post some guards near it, though. You never know, right?
Queen Victoria: Understood. We'll delegate some knights to prevent anyone from approaching, and anything from emerging.
Queen Victoria: What of the Doomwood front?
Kara SuLema: DragonLord Mritha has been heading the Vind forces there.
Magus Hansa: Magus Neron for The Rose.
Kara SuLema: Thankfully there has been no sign of a Tytan yet, at least.
Magus Hansa: The storms have gotten worse, however, and wildfires are starting to become a problem.
Magus Hansa: The locals have been most cooperative, thanks to Magus Neron's efforts.
Queen Victoria: I see. Has the base of the rift been located yet for The Golden Hand?
Kara SuLema: Our scouts have narrowed one focus down to some ancient ruins deep within Doomwood.
Kara SuLema: It will not be easy to secure.
Queen Victoria: Hmm.
Queen Victoria: And what of the Northlands?
Magus Hansa: Again, no sign of a Tytan yet, but the situation seems less dire compared to Amityvale's.
Kara SuLema: Niki has led our scouts there, and they've reported many strange fungal growths sprouting from the snow and ice.
Kara SuLema: Whatever is happening, it's certainly less overt than what has happened to Swordhaven and Amityvale.
Magus Hansa: So far, at least.
Magus Hansa: We have also struggled to find the foci of the Northlands rift.
Queen Victoria: I see. Thank you, everyone.
Queen Victoria: I see.
Queen Victoria: And the Deadlands are still quiet?
Kara SuLema: It's the strangest thing. We haven't noticed any unusual activity besides a few stray elementals.
Magus Hansa: And given that it's the Deadlands, that's hardly out of the ordinary as well.
Queen Victoria: We'll have to keep a close watch on that rift in case it changes then. Thank you for the reports.
*Queen Victoria ponders over the reports momentarily before concluding where to focus on next.*
Queen Victoria: In that case, our next target must be Doomwood. We will take some time to prepare and recover, and then–
Queen Victoria: We march to Doomwood!
*Despite Queen Victoria's eagerness, there is one slight problem...*
Magus Hansa: With all due respect, Your Majesty, but you're the queen.
Magus Hansa: Your place is here, in Swordhaven.
Queen Victoria: Y-yes. You're right, of course...
*Caught up in the moment, Queen Victoria appears saddened by this realization.*
Victoria: Very well. We'll take some time to prepare and recover and then–
Victoria: You'll march to Doomwood!
*Victoria hangs her head.*
Victoria: It really isn't the same.
*Later, outside of Jaania's room, Kara SuLema sits down.*
Kara SuLema: ...
*On the other side of the door, Jaania sits, head in hands, eyes twitching, as light from the magic mirror fills the darkened room.*
Jaania: ...
*Sitting back to back, separated by no more than a door, Kara tries to talk with Jaania.*
Kara SuLema: I know how much you must be struggling. You can talk to me, Jaania.
*Scene fades to black.*
