*Avani: ! I’m so glad you came!
*Avani: You don’t know how much this means to me.
*Avani: We need all the help we can get, and with your assistance, we are sure to get Ezra back safely…
 	
*Korzan: Bah! With or without you, we would’ve gotten that foolish girl back ourselves. 
*Korzan: Anyway, now that ’s here, what are we waiting for?
*Korzan: Let’s get moving!
 	
*Haile: I see you still don’t give your words any thought. Have you not learnt anything at all?
*Haile: Instead of using your muscles to solve every problem, can’t you use your brain for once?
 	
*Korzan: I know this place like the back of my hand, and there are only a few places they could have kept Ezra locked away in. 
*Korzan: That would mean my knowledge on the details of this mission far surpasses yours.
*Korzan: You have a lot of nerve insinuating that I’m not up to standard.
 	
*Haile: Then perhaps your real flaw lies in your lack of understanding of such concepts as “patience” and “teamwork.”
*Haile: Whatever the case, we may have already been briefed on what each and everyone’s responsibilities are…
*Haile: ...but needs to know what we might be up against.
 	
*Avani: *Sigh* Now that’s quite enough, both of you. 
*Avani: How long has it been since you’ve seen each other?
 	
*Avani: Korzan, you ought to be more patient with Haile.
*Avani: Surely you must understand that Haile nags at you all the time only because she cares!
 	
*Korzan: WHA…!?
 	
*Haile: ...!!!!!
 	
*Haile: N...NO WAY!
*Haile: Who would care about this...this big dumb oaf!
*Haile: He’s always so incredibly reckless! And not only that, he’s also loud, annoying, and certainly doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut!
 	
*Haile: He can’t even keep food in his mouth when he chews his food! And he stinks cause he fights all day and rarely bathes!
 	
*Haile: He snores when he sleeps and he--
 	
*Korzan: ……
 	
*Haile: ……
 	
*Avani: Awww... It’s so nice to see you both getting along so well.
*Avani: Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that your relationship extends beyond mere friendly banter!
 	
*Avani: *sniff*Brings a tear to my eye just imagining it... *Sniff*
 	
*Haile: No...wait! It’s not what you think it is!
*Haile: I don’t like him at all!
*Haile: NO! No, no... 
*Haile: Well, it’s not that I hate him either, but…
 	
*Nyami: *Chuckles*
*Nyami: Am...am I going to be...a big sister soon?
 	
*Haile: NO!!!
 	
*Nyami: !!!
 	
*Nyami: *Whimpers*
 	
*Haile: No...wait! I didn’t mean to shout at you Nyami!
*Haile: .........
 	
*Avani: Oh dear, it looks like Nyami will be hiding from you for a long time…
 	
*Haile: I...I never meant to…
*Haile: *Sigh*
*Haile: I’ll be waiting over there... somewhere…
*Haile: Just tell me when we’re ready…
 	
*Korzan: *Grumbles*
*Korzan: Make it quick, Avani. Let’s get Ezra back and then get out of here. 
*Korzan: There is someone here I’d rather not run into…
 	
*Avani: He he he... It’s so much fun teasing the both of them.
 	
*Avani: I hope that eases the anxiety they are feeling right now.
*Avani: We are all worried sick. There’s nothing we’d like more than having Ezra back safe and sound.
*Avani: This is the underground City of Ostagoth.
*Avani: It was once a sacred place where all Morokai gathered to pay homage to the great Elemental Spirits that bless our lands. 
*Avani: Now it’s just another part of the dominion Azurai claimed for himself when he took control of this place. 
*Avani: If Ezra is indeed in Ostagoth, it can only mean that Azurai is behind all this.
 	
*Avani: There is something else that bothers me even more than the fact that Azurai could be in the city this very moment.
*Avani: No amount of trouble ever seems to faze Allanon. 
*Avani: That was, until the recent incident... It unsettles me to see him that way.
*Avani: Something or someone else must be here that poses a threat to Ezra.
*Avani: It is important that we find her and leave as soon as we can. 
*Avani: A direct assault on the city is out of the question.
 	
*Avani: That is why it is up to us to rescue Ezra. The rest of our brethren have our exit secured.
*Avani: , you will be with Nyami and me. 
*Avani: Allanon requested for the four of us to meet at the base of the Tower.
*Avani: He said that an “old friend” of his would assist Korzan and Haile at the Sanctum.
 	
*Avani: I sure hope none of us run into Azurai... After all, he didn’t earn his title as Overlord through luck alone. 
*Avani: Imagine having to fight against Korzan...but a Korzan who uses his head to think as well!
*Avani: And then there’s the threat that has Allanon on his guard...
 	
*Avani: No matter what lies ahead, we will take Ezra back with us. Back to where she belongs. 
*Avani: Now, once you’re done with your preparations, let us be on our way.
*Avani: The sooner we leave this place, the better.
