Dialogue *Somewhere on Lore, during a seemingly peaceful day, a giant mechanical hand extends upwards from the ground and through the treetops, crashing down with a very loud thud; presumably later, in the Firmament, you and Uaanta have once again been summoned by the Avatars.* Haeos: Thank you for your time, Champions. <Character>: Didn't have much of a choice. Uaanta: Shh! Kyanos: One of the Maleurous has revealed itself, and now poses an imminent threat to Lore. <Character>: We couldn't have just been summoned for tea or snacks, could we? Uaanta: It is an honor to serve you, Makers. <Character>: Or maybe a friendly game of moglinball? Uaanta: ...Is that actually a sport? Voidstar: Imminent. Threat. <Character>: Right, right. <Character>: So, what are we dealing with? Fiamme: The active Maleurous this time is Myalos. An ancient... spirit. Temblor: When we first sealed it away, we destroyed its physical form, save for a small mechanism that served as the core of its being. Celeritas: Through whatever means, its core appears to have taken control of a massive, up until now, derelict, weapon. Voidstar: A titanic weapon that, should it achieve full control and functionality over, threatens to crush all of Lore. Khazri: You've encountered something of the sort before, <Character>. In your search for the Wind Orb. <Character>: Oh, so this Myalos is a magic illusion-thing like Kordana? And it's activating a giant construct... Haeos: Correct. Your experience in the matter should aid you in your task. Neso: We trust that you will stop Myalos and whatever it is planning. Uaanta: It will be done. <Character>: Hmm. Kyanos: Are you ready to go? Uaanta: Yes, my Makers. <Character>: Uh, sure. Thanks for– <Character>: –asking. <Character>: At least they asked this time. *You and Uaanta have been, once again, teleported mid-sentence to an unknown location to face an unknown threat.* Uaanta: The Makers seemed to believe you've dealt with something similar to Myalos before. Uaanta: What are we up against? <Character>: Well, as was with Kordana, this looks to be a remnant of some ancient civilization. <Character>: I didn't exactly understand the strange magic that kept Kordana alive. She was quite odd and spoke a lot of nonsense... <Character>: But she was friendly! <Character>: Who knows, maybe there's a good chance we will be able to speak to Myalos and reason with them as well. Uaanta: I see. Let's go then, <Character>. *Fight your way through various togs and mechanical creatures until you locate what appears to be the sealed entrance of the construct you are searching for.* <Character>: Alright, now we just need to find a way in. <Character>: Kordana's construct had a handy damaged portion that I could crawl in through, but this seems to have weathered a lot better. Uaanta: Hmm, maybe I could try making a hole– ???: Please wait a moment, Uaanta Fayt. ???: You are looking for Myalos, we can assist. Uaanta: Who goes there? *You and Uaanta both turn around to find Lock and Key; this is presumably Uaanta's first known interaction with the duo.* <Character>: Oh no, what are you two doing here? Lock: We are Lock. Key: We are Key. <Character>: Yeah, I remember. Uaanta: You know them, <Character>? <Character>: They're uh... Lock: Acquaintances. Key: Associates. <Character>: We have history. Uaanta: Are they going to be a problem? <Character>: Are you going to be a problem, Lock and Key? Lock: We are no problem. Key: We heard you are here to... Lock: ...Stop Myalos. Key: According to plan. Uaanta: I don't like these two, <Character>. <Character>: We're listening. Lock: Myalos poses no threat to you. Key: Or the Avatars. <Character>: The Avatars seem to think otherwise. You say Myalos isn't a threat, but it's clearly awakening this construct for some purpose. Lock: The purpose is to draw the attention of the Avatars. Key: To bring you here. Lock: The champions of the Avatars. Uaanta: This is the most talkative ambush I've ever been a part of. Key: You misunderstand. We require your aid. <Character>: Nope. Nope. Not happening. Let's go Uaanta. Bust a hole through that metal. Let's go! Lock: Wait. Key: This is not the same as the previous time. Lock: Myalos wishes to be free. Key: We are assisting it in that process. Lock: We brought Myalos here, so that it may draw the attention of the Avatars. Key: And now that we have, you can help Myalos. Lock: We can open the way. Uaanta: These two seem to know Myalos quite well. Key: We are designated Maleurous by the Avatars, just as it is. Lock: But we are not a threat. <Character>: Oh no... Uaanta: Wait... you knew this, <Character>? I don't remember you telling the Makers about a strange pair of... whatever these are. <Character>: Well, I tried before, but then the Avatars did their teleport thing... <Character>: ...and then the whole Myalos situation seemed like a bad time to interject, since it was pretty urgent... Uaanta: You are a champion! And you've been... consorting with these Maleurous, just as the Makers warned you against! <Character>: Just give me a moment. I can explain! Lock: Hold. Key: Another comes. *With an inverted flash, Remthalas' presence can be felt; Lock and Key extend their arms, casting a dome around themselves, you, and Uaanta, protecting you all from Remthalas' manipulation.* ???: Of course. ???: Of course it would be you two who would interfere. Lock: Dreamfarer. Key: We are in the middle of something. Remthalas: I heard that our dear friend Myalos is getting its body back together. Remthalas: I thought I'd pay it a visit, maybe... greet my new friend, <Character>. Remthalas: And who should I find but you. Not only interfering with our goals, but twisting <Character> to your own designs. Remthalas: I've worked so hard to cultivate this one. To sow the seeds, to plant the dreams... *Remthalas pauses, happily spinning his Maleurous mask upon a single fingertip.* Remthalas: I will warn you once. Remthalas: Do not test me, dreamless ones. Remthalas: Do your... thing. Give the champions a pleasant gap in their memories. I can take it from here. Lock: We are not subordinate to you. Key: We are free, as are you. Lock: We choose to help Myalos. Key: We choose to protect the investment. Lock: We will not be threatened. *Remthalas processes Lock and Key's fortitude; he changes his tactic.* Remthalas: I... apologize for my rudeness. I only wished to spend some quality time with <Character>. Remthalas: I'm afraid I may have come across as... aggressive. Remthalas: But <Character>. Remthalas: You find yourself in quite the predicament. Remthalas: I can help free you from it. <Character>: No thanks. I'm plenty free enough as it is. Remthalas: But you are not! Are you not beholden to the Avatars? You follow their every whim, you pursue their every order– Remthalas: And beyond that, are you not bound by your morals? Remthalas: I can show you true freedom. To do what you will, to go where the currents of existence take you! <Character>: Am I not free to choose? Do you think I'm doing this, helping the Avatars, because I'm forced to? <Character>: If this is my path in life, am I not free to pursue it? <Character>: The Avatars may be overbearing and weirdly inconsistent at times, but at least they're trying to do what they think is best for Lore! *Remthalas appears to disapprove of your response.* Remthalas: A pitiful existence. Remthalas: They could do so much more if only they weren't bound. If only you weren't chained. Uaanta: <Character> is most certainly not following the exact orders of the Makers, but we will not give in to you. We will not be shaken by your words. Uaanta: Maleurous, begone, or I will make it so. *Remthalas seems even less enthused by Uaanta's interjection.* Remthalas: You're not interesting. <Character>: Why are you interested in Myalos anyway? Remthalas: The dreamless pair hasn't told you everything, as usual. Remthalas: Myalos is not some... entity to be pitied. It is a tool. One that can be used to release many... so many... from their shackles. Lock: Myalos has no interest in your schemes. Key: Leave us, Dreamfarer. <Character>: For someone obsessed with freedom, you seem awfully eager to use another for your goals. Remthalas: I told you. It is not "another". Remthalas: It is not alive. It does not dream. Remthalas: It is a tool to be used, just as this 'Lock' and 'Key' are. Remthalas: Let me in, <Character>. Let me show you the world of possibilities. <Character>: Lock, Key, if Uaanta and I go find Myalos, how long could you hold off Remthalas for? Lock: We will withstand as long as it takes. Key: We cannot be tempted. Lock: We are secure. Key: Go, champions of the Avatars. Lock: Myalos awaits. *The entrance to Myalos' construct opens, presumably thanks to Lock and Key; this infuriates Remthalas.* Remthalas: Traitors. Broken tools. I will return. Remthalas: With... reinforcements. Remthalas: We shall see how long your tricks last then! Lock: We are unafraid. Key: We. Lock: Are. Lock, Key (in unison): Free.
