Emetselch 	The prodigal familiar returns, and after causing all manner of trouble while we were in our meeting, I'm sure.
 	
Hythlodaeus 	Were you able to get some rest? Please, do not hesitate to let us know if you're feeling tired─I worry we might exhaust your scarce reserves of aether.
 	
Meteion 	I'm glad Hermes saw the flowers. Thank you, [Player Name].
Meteion 	It will help...I hope. Today will be difficult for him.
 	
Hermes 	An all-too-brief interlude, perhaps, but it is time I attend to my next task.
Hermes 	As Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus are aware, we reached a verdict regarding the fate of the lykaones.
Hermes 	Seven were created for observation...
Hermes 	...And all seven must be unmade.
Hermes 	Doros has followed the correct protocols, and, as chief overseer, I can find no fault in his judgment.
Hermes 	The lykaones would disrupt the natural order, ravaging and consuming other species until they themselves starve and perish. They cannot be released into the wild, and they cannot be allowed to remain here in Elpis.
Hermes 	I intend to petition the Bureau of the Architect to have the concept preserved as a restricted-purpose hazardous life-form. Hythlodaeus has pledged to support me in this endeavor.
Hermes 	Yet whatever the bureau decides, the existing lykaones have served their purpose...
Hermes 	Doros has already isolated the creatures, and is preparing to carry out the necessary measures.
Hermes 	I will join him forthwith. It is my duty to witness the...conclusion...to this study.
Emetselch 	If you are resolved, then we have but to accompany you.
Hermes 	Of course. Let us be off, then. We return to the main isle.
 	
Hermes 	Doros! Are you hurt!? What happened here!?
Doros 	They...they caught me off guard...
Doros 	I had them bound with aetherial shackles. But they became frenzied, even more so than usual, and broke free...
Doros 	I was able to stop four. The other three escaped...
Hythlodaeus 	...I see them. Two have taken to the air above the Twelve Wonders.
Emetselch 	The last is up ahead, lurking in the fields.
Emetselch 	You and [Player Name] handle that one. The pair in the sky, you can leave to me.
Hermes 	...If this is how it must end, then so be it.
Hythlodaeus 	I will render assistance to Emet-Selch, unneeded though it is.
Hermes 	Meteion, you are to stay here with Doros.
Meteion 	But, Hermes!
Hermes 	The lykaones must be reverted. I would spare you their pain. And mine.
Hermes 	This is my burden, not yours. But if you are intent on helping, then please, follow my lead.
 	
Meteion 	Stay with Hermes, [Player Name]. He will need someone...when the time comes...
 	
Doros 	Never mind my wounds, they are easily healed. It is the lykaones which concern me...
 	
Hermes 	I appreciate your help...and lament that it is necessary.
Hermes 	There it is─our quarry. Within striking distance at present...but if it feels threatened, it may well flee beyond our reach.
Hermes 	Here is my plan. You will approach slowly, in full view, and draw the lykaon's attention.
Hermes 	Now, I warn you: its abilities are as fiery as its temperament. Once it spots you, it will unleash orbs of flame...
Hermes 	But fear not. By my measure, you are more than equal to the task. Withstand the onslaught for a few brief moments, and that will give me time to catch it unawares.
Hermes 	...Ready? Then let us begin!
 	
Hermes 	A few moments is all I require. Just make sure that you command its attention!
 	
Popmessage 	The lykaon unleashes an orb of pure flame!
 	
Popmessage 	The lykaon manifests more fiery spheres!
 	
Hermes 	Not quite yet! Stand your ground a little longer!
 	
Hythlodaeus 	It has been quite an exciting visit for you thus far. Oh, you weren't injured, were you? Good, good.
 	
Emetselch 	The other lykaones have been taken care of.
Emetselch 	The incident is resolved, and life in Elpis continues as normal...or ends, as the case may be.
Emetselch 	Rationally speaking, I understand Hermes's argument. No matter how well deserved the rest, there is a pang of sadness when a colleague leaves us.
Emetselch 	Yet never has a departure caused me such grief as Hermes appears to feel. What must it be like to experience such torment...?
