00:28You
00:39You
01:05You
01:07You
01:27A mere week since the realm gate fell down in hammer hall gaira life now blooms
01:35Unshackled
01:37Uncontrolled
01:39Strangling the city
01:41And as gaira chokes on life
01:45Amal aksha
01:47Drowns in ash
01:51The city of cinder
01:53Dying of thirst
01:56The essence of corruption bleeds into the earth
02:00A taint that spreads
02:02Grows staining the wood and stone that form the city's bones
02:09With the severing of symbiosis between the realms of life and fire
02:15Amal will die within days
02:18There's more
02:19I see it in your eyes
02:21This
02:22Taint
02:23This corruption
02:26It lives
02:27It hungers
02:30But to what end
02:32What is the source of this hunger?
02:35What does it crave?
02:37Questions
02:38Questions
02:39How long must you sages study this?
02:42When do we fight?
02:43When we know what and where to fight, Rostus
02:46Be patient
02:48The realm gate is closed
02:50People are dying
02:52What else does it want?
02:54The source of this spiritual starvation
02:57Conceals itself from all eyes
03:00Even yours?
03:02I offer belief
03:04Not certainty
03:06We have fought and triumphed more than once on faith alone
03:10The stain of corruption spreading beneath us
03:15Around us
03:16Is a distraction
03:19A distraction?
03:21From what?
03:22From the coming flood
03:24A greater darkness
03:26Yet to drown us
03:29Isn't it here?
03:31We've lost
03:32The city is dying
03:34It isn't enough
03:37Not for him
03:38As the poison trickles out
03:42The true tide flows elsewhere
03:47The flow is not destroyed
03:50It is taken
03:52Redirected
03:54To where?
03:56To Belakor's infernal realm
04:00He plans to make the realm gate his
04:01He could attack from within the heart of Hamahal Aksha
04:09And the city's defences would become the walls of a prison
04:12We cannot let this happen
04:21You ask much
04:23I ask what is necessary
04:25I ask what is necessary
04:26And I tell you time and again
04:28One does not swim in the corrupted ocean unscathed
04:34We fight according to our gifts
04:36There are answers we need
04:38Answers only you can find
04:41Hmm
04:43Beware of answers
04:45Neve Blacktalon
04:46Has that lesson escaped you?
04:50I do not seek the key to my past
04:53I seek the key to Hamahal's salvation
04:55Greater answers have a greater cost
04:59If this deepens our debt to you then so be it
05:02As you wish
05:11Will she do it?
05:14She will
05:16She knows she must
05:18A Jorikus
05:20We knew the risks
05:22Still
05:24The reforging
05:25I am as much as I was
05:27Where it counts
05:29For that I am grateful
05:33How does Rostas seem to you?
05:36He has returned to us
05:39Diminished
05:40You know Rostas
05:41Always quick to jest
05:43Always a smile
05:45But now
05:47I sense an edge to him
05:49That abomination will pay dearly for what he has taken
05:57So hideous a mockery of Sigma's work will not stand
06:01How is such defilement possible?
06:04It shouldn't be
06:05Only those of the sacrosanct chamber are privy to such arcane secrets
06:09We must discover how this
06:11Bellacore has seen within our most sacred walls
06:14And what that beast said of your past
06:17I have been enslaved by my fears for too long
06:20It is time to hunt this shadow
06:22Shekana
06:23But we must first secure Hamahal
06:39To stay
06:39Once
06:39Before
06:39Someone
06:39Please
06:39Come
06:41Then
06:55Then
06:55Then
06:55First
07:10I have surfaced from beneath the darkest tides.
07:15And you have our thanks, Soulscrayer.
07:18To end the infection, it must be parched at its source.
07:24Where would that be?
07:25Bellicor's realm.
07:27At last. When do we begin?
07:30Don't you mean how?
07:32This is no simple feat.
07:34There is a way.
07:35You must allow the infection to run its course.
07:42Father of storms! The realm gate-
07:45You plan to let the demons invade?
07:47Hear her out, Rostas.
07:50She speaks madness!
07:54There is no other way?
07:58Then we have no choice.
08:00We need to strike at the infection's heart.
08:05They must arrive.
08:07And they must be repulsed.
08:11That... is the moment.
08:13When the tide of war sweeps them back.
08:17In their defeat, I will create a hidden wave.
08:23One that carries you into the core of the corruption.
08:29And if we should fail, you are rolling the dice on a city's worth of lives, elf.
08:37Even forgetting the hundreds, the thousands that will fall in the initial invasion.
08:43What of those who survive?
08:45No water.
08:47No food.
08:48Where do you think they will turn?
08:50We have to trust in the people of Hamahal.
08:53And we have to trust each other.
08:56We can do this, Rostas.
08:58Keep faith.
09:00So, we let them come.
09:03We fight.
09:04And when the moment arrives, we shall use their connection to Hamahal against them.
09:09Destroy it and exact our revenge upon that foul demon.
09:14No.
09:16There can be no we.
09:18What do you mean?
09:21I have not the strength to create a wave large enough for the passage of more than one soul.
09:29So be it.
09:31We cannot send her alone.
09:33Do you trust me?
09:35You know I do.
09:36But we are the Black Talons.
09:38We are a pack.
09:40Rostas, my friend.
09:42Do you trust me?
09:45Aye.
09:47I trust you.
09:48Then let it begin.
09:50We must inform Lord Carthalos of our plan.
10:14Leave.
10:15Bellicor's forces will not be long in coming.
10:20Are you ready?
10:28This is not farewell.
10:31It can never be.
10:52I'm tired of your game, demon.
10:58Then, let us play out the final moves.
11:03Ah, my little heartress.
11:26Ah!
11:42Oh, my God.
11:57Ah!
12:17Insane Ma!
12:33This day will be ours!
12:36Come in, remember.
12:45Destiny calls.
12:51My once and future champion.
12:58It is so very good to see you again.
13:13Reform the Sheer War!
13:25You have been in my thoughts.
13:29And I have been in yours.
13:33The whispers.
13:34The dreams.
13:36Ah, so you did hear me.
13:39I heard you.
13:41And I looked out from your eyes, even in your citadel.
13:47Once my huntress, and now my unknowing spy.
13:52Loyal to me, even in your ignorance.
13:57Niamh, do not listen to him!
14:01He fears what you will learn.
14:04Will you kill her yet again?
14:06What?
14:07Niamh, forgive me!
14:12Not this time.
14:15Yegor!
14:15Yegor!
14:23Yegor!
14:26Nooo!
14:28Nooo!
14:30Nooo!
14:41Oh, oh, oh, oh!
15:08Did the plan work?
15:10Yes.
15:11Shikana has made the journey.
15:13The fate of Hammerhal is in her hands now.
15:15I still don't like it.
15:17Her fighting there alone.
15:20She will not be alone for long.
15:22We will find a way to stand with her.
15:25Until next time, my champion.
