* "Are you sure Adrian? You understand once it is done it cannot be undone"
- "The potential gain is to high to ignore Kayla. It must be done."
* "But master these scrolls are god knows how old and barely readable. There is a high probability everything we have learned about the ritual is completely wrong."
- "Kayla. I understand the risks. You forget I am 40 years your senior and very experience with the magical arts."
* "Then why do you insist that the ritual go forward! This has the potential to bring us ruin. Gods above master! This could be a repeat of the Styaria Disaster!"
- "Silence! You forget your place Kayla!
I refuse to see Cardonia destroyed! Civil war, famine, disease, and a dozen other outside threats claw at our nation every day! This ritual may very well bring us ruin. Without this ritual Cardonia falls. At least with it there is a chance. If you wish to leave now is the time to do so. However if you wish to stay my apprentice you will stay.
* "I apologize my lord. I will stay until the end. Either we have 100 saviors or our nation falls."

- "You say that Haemir but what proof is there? It is all speculations."

- "Silence you fool! You screech like a mad man"

* "Count Luke. As Marshall it is your charge to lead the security of our nation."

- "I apologize lord. The magority of our troops are away in Adendin fighting alongside Cardonia."
* "Then take some of my household guard and investigate! I pay you too much for you to not think with your head."
