Gate of Memoirs/The Heavens Lv.1

Kielazar leads the resistance to the Imperial City, where the Raug are massing for the final assault on the Heavens.
Portrait	Dialogue
 	
*So it was, that the Raug finally extended their grim claws toward the Heavens.
*Their vile forces, swelling like black tides of death and decay across the Imperial City, seemed to cover every last inch of once-divine splendor.
*With Adriesta and Zelion swept away by the divine messenger Raquiel, and Astrid following right after,
*The rest of the party race toward a singular point…
*...of intertwining destinies, of impending devastation…
*...of darkest despair.
*Would you change how this chapter of their story ends…
*You monster?

*Adriesta: So that brings us to the present time. I know, I can hardly believe it myself.
 	
*Zelion: ... …
*Zelion: Uh...I don't even know what to think…
*Zelion: This is kinda nuts. Another world? Another ME? And then you show up out of nowhere…
*Zelion: I mean, you don't just run into a mother you never thought you had.
 	
*Adriesta: I don't blame you. All of this is really coming together, I think.
*Adriesta: It would've been quite the happy reunion…
 	
*Adriesta: Except for Raquiel and her talk of you being the "key" to saving this world.
*Adriesta: Whatever that means. I don't have a particularly good feeling about it.
 	
*Zelion: Y-yeah, about that...I don't know either.
 	
*Zelion: But you came after me anyway! Is it because you're... you know…
 	
*Adriesta: Well. I like to be safe rather than sorry.
*Adriesta: I'm sure Astrid felt the same when she argued with Raquiel.
 	
*Adriesta: Aren't you popular, kiddo.
 	
*Zelion: Heh.
 	
*Zelion: I hope she's okay. I don't see Astrid anywhere.
 	
*Adriesta: Or our divine friend, for that matter. This is worrying.

*Eerikki: Atlatl and I have scouted ahead. They're concentrated right at their doorstep.
 	
*Kielazar: We'll have to stay behind the main force to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
*Kielazar: ...hold, Mannag. That black form…
 	
*Gabriela: Ugh. Does that mangy cur never give up?
*Gabriela: And beside him…
 	
*Luina: …
 	
*Zael: Ha...haha...you fools! Did you think...our great masters...would let you walk free?
 	
*Zael: Gh-huurrrk…
 	
*Gabriela: Of course not. Though it is rather amusing how they continue to choose to send the broken and beaten to block our path.
 	
*Kielazar: Leave us be. We've granted you enough clemency as it is.
*Kielazar: Pick a spot to lie down and live out your wretched lives.
 	
*Luina: I can't. I can't.
*Luina: Just end me! I'll do anything!
 	
*Gabriela: ...excuse me?
 	
*Luina: Haha...hahaha! Aaaaahh!
 	
*Faelan: Um...Black white girl smells weird...and wrong.
 	
*Kielazar: Wait- Stay back! What are you-
 	
*Luina: That looks sharp! It'll do! Anything will do! Haha...HAHAHAHA!
 	
*Zael: Argh! I've about had it with you, useless pawn!
*Zael: You'll serve better dead than alive!
 	
*Luina: Finally! Finally, finally, my king, we can be-
 	
**CRUNCH*
 	
**DRIP*

*Gabriela: (...déjà vu. Where have I seen this before?) 
*Gabriela: (Oh. Yes. Such a miserable end - even for one as twisted as her.)
 	
*Kielazar: You monster…
 	
*Zael: Ha! Her incessant mewling has ceased for good!
 	
*Zael: I don't particularly relish the taste, but it'll do for an appetizer!
*Zael: Now, who wants to die first?
*Zael: Who wants to be the first head on the pike for my great masters?

*Astrid: Nngh…
 	
*Astrid: Zelion! ...Huh?
 	
*Astrid: Have I...reached the Heavens?
 	
*Raquiel: Indeed.
 	
*Astrid: Raquiel!
 	
*Raquiel: Astrid, you...baffle me.
 	
*Raquiel: What are you trying to do?
 	
*Astrid: Please, Raquiel. Why after all this time? Haven't you been by our side all along?
 	
*Astrid: What do the Titans want to do with Zelion?
 	
*Raquiel: That is not for me to say.
*Raquiel: Please...at the very least, know that I am not doing this out of spite.
*Raquiel: For all things to be set right once more, I must be a conduit to their will.
*Raquiel: But should you choose to prevent me from carrying out my duties…
 	
*Raquiel: Then you leave me little choice.
 	
*Astrid: I hoped it didn't have to come to this.
 	
*Raquiel: Astrid…
