Portrait	Dialogue
 	
*???: So… Not even Draegar was able to stop you both.
 	
*???: Well, that is to be expected.
*???: I have been waiting for you, Lord Zedus. 
*???: It looks like you've brought Ultor along as well.
 	
*Zedus: … Gazia…
 	
*Gazia: Lost for words? How very unlike you, Lord Zedus.
*Gazia: Don't you have something you'd like to say?
 	
*Ultor: That is enough Gazia!
*Ultor: You have commited the heinous act of treason against the state!
*Ultor: There is nowhere else to run to! Surrender yourself now and we might show you some mercy!
 	
*Zedus: At ease, Ultor.
*Zedus: Gazia, it pains me to lose someone of your caliber.
*Zedus: Look at our city! Look at what you have contributed to our civilization!
*Zedus: Power reactors that power entire cities, advanced medical equipment and facilities, long distance teleportation gates…
*Zedus: Your accomplishments alone would take a regular man centuries to achieve!
*Zedus: What is it that you seek, Gazia?
 	
*Gazia: What is it like, being the ruler of an entire civilization?
*Gazia: You are a good leader, Zedus. You have always put the well-being of Athensphere before everything else.
*Gazia: Incorruptible and iron-willed, you are the quintessential example of a perfect leader.
*Gazia: Lord Zedus, do you desire nothing more?
*Gazia: Have you ever wondered… what if…
 	
*Gazia: What if you could become a God instead?
 	
*Zedus: !!! A God you say!?
 	
*Zedus: Have you lost your mind Gazia?
*Zedus: What foul spirit have you been possessed by?
 	
*Ultor: We are wasting our breath on him, my lord!
*Ultor: This traitor is beyond salvation!
 	
*Gazia: My accomplishments thus far are but stepping stones for a far greater purpose!
*Gazia: Far greater than any of you could possibly comprehend.
 	
*Gazia: Look at what I've given you… You have all taken my gift to you for granted.
*Gazia: The people of Athensphere are growing lazy and complacent.
*Gazia: There is no such thing as a pinnacle…
*Gazia: Evolution is limitless!
*Gazia: We are still imperfect. A far cry from the Gods who made us.
 	
*Gazia: I aspire to become far greater than any of the Gods!
*Gazia: I would create life! A species of people that would be superior to us in every way!
*Gazia: I would create new civilizations! One more powerful than the other!
*Gazia: There is so much I would do…
 	
*Gazia: but unlike the Gods, we are not eternal.
*Gazia: The first step would be to eliminate the weaknesses of the mortal body, 
*Gazia: and creating one that would withstand the ravages of time!
*Gazia: What you have witnessed today is just a small taste of something greater to come…
 	
*Gazia: Through the destruction of Athensphere do we earn our salvation!
*Gazia: And when the deed is done, I will have surpassed my old self!
 	
*Zedus: It is a sad day indeed… the greatest mind of Athensphere has fallen to madness.
 	
*Zedus: I cannot allow a heretic like you live!
 	
*SHRIEK!!!
 	
*Ultor: What the…!!!
*Ultor: What in the world is that?
 	
*Zedus: Another enemy!? Get ready Ultor.
*Zedus: This one looks different from the rest we have faced thus far…
 	
*Gazia: MWAHAHAHA! Struggle with all your might!
*Gazia: The time for change is now. The cogs of war have started to turn!
*Gazia: Are you ready for what is about to come? Well, I think not!
*Gazia: There are matters of great import I must attend to.
*Gazia: My new pet here shall keep you… entertained.
*Gazia: I do hope that we will meet again.
 	
*Zedus: GAZIA!!!
 	
*Ultor: Eyes on the enemy ahead my lord!
*Ultor: Here it comes!
