===King Aphren's Sword===
When first meeting him:
"These are sacred grounds. My sacred grounds. They are not meant for the living. Are you the one who disturbs our rest?"
:I have the pieces of your sword. "Where did you get those? Those are mine! None may touch those save for me. That blade, that hilt, that pommel … to hold them again. Please, give them to me."
::No. The sword is mine now. 
::Here. Take them. "Ah, yes, my precious sword. To wield it again would feel so good. I should never have shattered it. I must make it whole again. I must. Why do you have these? What did you want with them?"
:::A mage asked me to bring the pieces here. 
:::Why did you shatter it? "Regret. The sword was my favorite possession, my best friend, and with it, I subjugated these lands. But in the process, I left my family unprotected. My sweet little girl … was killed. I couldn't live with it. I shattered the blade in my grief."
::::Princess Mira? I saw her spirit in the ruins. "Mira? You saw my … my Mira? My poor, sweet child. I wronged her so. I worried that her spirit would not rest. I wanted to seek her out. I have been unable to enter her tomb though."
:::::You wanted to make amends? "I did. Since the day I discovered what had happened, all I wanted was to beg her forgiveness … even more than I wanted this damn sword. Perhaps now, though … perhaps I can make amends. Perhaps I can show her how sorry I am."
::::::How would you do that? "You can help me. You can show her. You can tell her how sorry I am. If she sees the sword, she will …. maybe she will understand. Please. I beg you. Give my daughter the sword."
:::::::I could do that for you. 
:::::::I already promised it to the mage outside the ruins. "I—I cannot force you. Perhaps I don't even deserve an opportunity to make amends. Take it. Whatever you do with it, just take it away from here. My daughter's tomb is just down the corridor. Just … please consider it."
After Princess Mira forgives him:
"My sword is again broken, but this time for good, and for good purpose. She has forgiven me. You have healed a wound that was centuries old."
:I'm glad I could bring peace to you both. "Even the greatest empire is a desolate domain without the ones you love. I never learned that lesson in life, but I hope you have. May the Eight be with you, young traveler."
