Dialogue
*You meet with Secundus and Piotr in the Fire Paradigm, where Secundus prepares you for the final test.*
Secundus: I am elated to see you thrive as the hero you're meant to be.
Secundus: Piotr should be ashamed.
*Piotr's expression changes to being distraught.*
Secundus: Or he shouldn't.
*Piotr's expression changes back to normal.*
Secundus: I have been… interested in you for a while now.
Secundus: Ever since you first appear– *clears throat* ever since... that fateful day on the cliff, I have been observing you.
Secundus: Your struggles, your victories.
Secundus: Your choices, your consequences.
Secundus: The good, and the bad.
Secundus: I have seen it all.
*Scene flashes back to show Roirr as Murk in his shop from Book 1.*
Secundus: Your apprehension with Roirr.
*Scene flashes back to show the drunken Vaal from The Navigator.*
Secundus: Your distrust with Vaal.
*Scene flashes back to show the sickened Tomix from Void War Intro.*
Secundus: Your bond with Tomix...
*Scene then transitions back to the present day.*
Secundus: I almost know you better than you yourself ever could.
Secundus: Up until this very moment, you have done exceptionally well. As to be expected.
Secundus: Almost perfectly well.
Secundus: However, there is one last thing I would like you to… consider.
Secundus: You may accept or deny this request, the choice is yours.
Secundus: You have proven yourself to be beyond worthy.
Secundus: You have become magnificent. The perfect vessel.
Secundus: One that I had the pleasure of shaping myself.
Secundus: Please.
Secundus: Consume me.
*You become puzzled by Secundus' motives.*
<Character>: You want—
Piotr: S-sir? What... what are you doing? This is not what you told—
Secundus: By absorbing me, <Character>, you'll gain multiple lifetimes worth of knowledge and experience.
Secundus: You will become the ultimate weaver. The one true hero able to save everyone. The mold for future generations.
Secundus: My legacy.
Secundus: With the exception of my old abilities. I've purposefully erased all knowledge and traces of them. Nobody should interfere in the loop of my creation.
Secundus: I have existed on this plane, in this form, for far too long now.
Secundus: I've experienced everything this plane and the others had to offer, in my current state of being.
Secundus: I've grown tired. So… so very tired.
Secundus: I have seen it all, lived it all, known it all.
Secundus: And worst of all, I've grown bored. Something I've never thought would happen.
Secundus: However, you...
Secundus: Please, let me experience the rest of my existence through you.
Secundus: Through how you see this world and the planes that connect to it, through the sounds they make, the smells, the tastes, how they feel...
Secundus: Through your memories.
Piotr: But Secundus, sir! You said—
Secundus: Silence.
*Piotr's expression changes to distraught as he stops speaking.*
Secundus: Before you do that, however… show me the strength and resolve befitting the true hero we will become!
Battle! - begins battle with Secundus.
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
Run Away! - launches Leave Quest confirmation box; clicking 'Yes' will teleport player to The Fire Paradigm.
*Secundus smiles after defeating him.*
Secundus: Absolutely perfect.
Secundus: Now.
Secundus: Let me...
Secundus: And you...
Secundus: Become us.
Consume - if you choose this option:
*You accept to consume Secundus.*
<Character>: Very well, Secundus.
*Secundus turns into his core form; you devour him in order to become stronger, fulfilling Secundus' wish for you to become a hero; scene fades to black, but with your voice is heard in complete darkness as you complete your Fleshweaver training.*
<Character>: I'll make you proud, Aegis.
*Aegis says 'I know' back to you.*
- Complete Quest
Refuse - if you choose this option:
*You refuse to consume Secundus.*
<Character>: I...
<Character>: You know what? No.
<Character>: Absolutely not.
Secundus: Ah.
Secundus: Disappointing, but predictable.
<Character>: I do NOT want your "experiences". At all.
<Character>: I would rather better myself through my own experiences going forward.
<Character>: Despite... what I've already done.
Secundus: That was always allowed.
Secundus: Or was it…?
<Character>: Yes it was!
Secundus: Piotr?
Piotr: Yes, sir.
Secundus: You're making a mistake, <Character>.
Secundus: I will be gone, in the future.
Secundus: I urge you to... reconsider.
Secundus: Or don't.
Secundus: You've disappointed me enough.
Secundus: Yet still I know you'll be back.
*Scene cuts to black.*
