Alcander

'Good boy.'

*Alcander - The Lion King and the master of fire*

*An adventurer wandering around Luxium*

*Will of Flame, Lion King's Ambition*

## Intro

Many people come to Never Isle not to study in the Arcana Academy or to do business with Order of Equality. They are here for Alcander's divination, which can describe customers' past and future precisely. The diviner Alcander is known as a 'Prophet' on Never Isle.

You probably won't remember Alcander's title when you see him in the street. He is an outgoing and kindhearted man with a towering body and a handsome face. Although he has a human body, he also has a pair of lion ears on the head and a long lion tail on the back. You can often see him hanging out with a little tiger named Tiger, who claims itself to be his guardian.

In most time, Alcander receives his customers in his own shop. He never charges any fee, but he only performs divination for 'the destined'. Many people visit his shop every day, hoping to be the next lucky one.

Someone says Alcander turns into the Lion King and the master of fire every night, hunting down Shadows all over Luxium. Most Shadows he finds will be devoured by his flame in an instant, while the remnants will be torn into pieces by his claws. Maybe it's just a rumor...

## Scripts

### Consolation Letter

Hey! It's me, Alcander

Thank you for letting me live in your airship. With the letter, there are also some gifts.

I know that we had some misunderstandings at first, and I apologize again. I hope that the unhappiness before will not affect our future relationship. After all, from now on, we are the partners who travel together. If you encounter danger during the journey, such as Shadow or something, please let me know. The flame of the lion will purify them! That's it. I'm going to take my adventure!

### Bath Drama

* Wait, my tail must not touch water!
* Could you rub my back for me?
* Hmm... time to wash my hair. Morph!

### Fave Hottie Slogan

(Sprays flames, turns into lion) Give me your vote! Yes! Just like that!

### Intimacy Breakthrough

**This section contains spoilers for Intimacy Breakthrough scenes.**

**-Intimacy Level 4**

*Hottie Bar, Airship...*
**Billy**: Captain, the Prophet is here!
**Alcander**: Just call me Alcander.
**Billy**: Prophet, may we fly today?
**Alcander**: Don't worry, the airship will not engage in any battle for a while.
**Billy**: Awesome!
**Billy**: I'm going to the bridge. It's great to have you with us, Prophet.
**Alcander**: I said, just call me Alcander!
*There seems to be something wriggling on Alcander's chest...*
**???**: Al, let me out!
*A stuffed tiger comes out from under Alcander's shirt.*
**Player**: Whoa! What's going on? Is this toy possessed?
**Tiger**: Hey, that's rude!
**Tiger**: I'm Tiger, a Protective God!
**Alcander**: Tiger... is my companion.
**Player**: Right, um, hello, Tiger.
**Player**: What are you doing here anyway?
**Alcander**: Yeah... how should I put it?
**Alcander**: I told you that I'm an adventurer, right?
**Alcander**: I like to travel around Luxium.
**Alcander**: And I heard that you pilot an airship around Luxium, Player.
**Alcander**: So...
**Alcander**: Do you mind if I stay on your ship for a while? As a travel companion.
**Player**: Huh?
**Player**: But why here?
**Tiger**: He doesn't like public airships.
**Alcander**: If I have to take public airships everywhere I go...
**Alcander**: It's kind of a hassle.
**Player**: So... why don't you just buy an airship?
**Player**: Fortune-telling isn't that lucrative, is it?
**Alcander**: It's more of a... hobby.
**Alcander**: And I never charge anyone.
**Alcander**: But don't worry, Player, I'll pay the same rate as the hotels on Never Isle.
**Player**: Money's not that important.
**Player**: Seeing as how Billy has been talking about you almost every day since he got his fortune told...
**Player**: If you stay on the ship, he'll be happy.
**Player**: But I usually take my airship to fight Darkflux...
**Player**: Or help my friends on Never Isle.
**Player**: I can only take you on adventures when I'm not busy.
**Alcander**: All right. As you say.
**Alcander**: I'm always up for the unknown ahead.
**Player**: And one more thing!
**Player**: Make sure you listen to Billy and don't blow up the airship!
**Alcander**: We'll behave, that's for sure.
**Player**: In that case... welcome aboard!
**Alcander**: Awesome!
**Tiger**: Finally, no more worrying about where we're staying every day!
**Alcander**: You make it sound like I'm homeless.
**Tiger**: I'm tired of sleeping on your furry body, that's for sure.
**Tiger**: The big and fluffy bed is mine!
**Alcander**: You...
**Player**: The newcomers are already making themselves at home, I see.

**-Intimacy Level 5**

*Hottie Bar, Airship...*
**Hachi**: Bernard, you're the last one!
**Bernard**: Let's do it!
*Bernard walks into the tub and almost half of the water spills over.*
**Morgan**: Did you get a little thick these last couple of days, Bernard?
**Bernard**: Sorry, Player, I'll help you clean up.
**Player**: Don't worry, do whatever you want. The Hottie Bar is waterproof.
**Morgan**: There's someone at the door, Player. A friend of yours?
**Tiger**: Alcander, this isn't the same person you mentioned...
**Alcander**: Water... I need water...
**Player**: Alcander?
**Player**: What are you doing standing at the door? Come in!
**Alcander**: Player, why are Shadowhunters at the Hottie Bar?
**Player**: I fought the Shadows with them and we became friends.
**Player**: It's their day off, so they came to take baths and catch up.
**Alcander**: Bath...
**Player**: Why don't you come sit with us?
**Alcander**: It's fine, Player, I...
**Hachi**: Don't be shy, my new friend!
**Hachi**: I will welcome him on behalf of the Shadowhunters!
*Hachi gets out of the tub in his birthday suit.*
**Bernard**: Hachi! Put something on!
**Hachi**: We're all men, there's nothing to hide, is there?
*Hachi walks toward Alcander.*
**Hachi**: Hi, I'm Hachi, a Shadowhunter.
**Player**: This is Alcander, an adventurer.
**Player**: He can morph into a lion, and I've seen him take out a group of Shadows by himself!
**Alcander**: It's not that impressive...
**Morgan**: Great! We have a common enemy!
**Hachi**: Kill Shadows?
**Hachi**: Great! Why don't you join us, Alcander?
**Alcander**: Hold on! Wait! The water...
*Hachi picks up Alcander and jumps into the water.*
**Alcander**: Ooah!
**Tiger**: Hachi hasn't changed at all.
**Player**: You know Hachi?
**Tiger**: Well, uh, I mean, it's Hachi, the leader of the Bloodrunners! Who doesn't know him?
**Tiger**: Alcander's face... hahahaha!
**Alcander**: Ugh! Tiger! Hel...
**Player**: What's wrong with Alcander?
**Tiger**: Remember the flames on his tail?
**Tiger**: He's afraid of water.
**Player**: What? Then we should...
**Tiger**: It's fine.
**Tiger**: He just doesn't like water, but it won't hurt him.
**Bernard**: Now it's your turn, Player!
*Bernard appears behind you quietly...*
*And pulls you into the tub.*
**Player**: Ah!!
*Later that day, in the evening...*
*Bernard, Hachi and Morgan get ready to return to their camp.*
**Morgan**: Alcander, make sure to hit me up when you come to the Red Desert!
**Bernard**: If you need help, speak up any time!
**Hachi**: We're brothers now! You got that, Alcander?
**Alcander**: !!
**Player**: Come by anytime!
*Bernard, Hachi and Morgan leave the Hottie Bar...*
**Alcander**: Brothers...
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander is deep in thought*
**Player**: Alcander?
**Player**: Are you okay?
**Alcander**: !!
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander smiles*
**Alcander**: I had fun today.
**Alcander**: Let's go, Tiger.

**-Intimacy Level 6**

*The Bridge*
**Alcander**: Can we stop here first before we go back to Never Isle?
**Player**: The forest near the Red Harbor?
**Player**: Sure, but why?
**Alcander**: Adventure, of course!
**Alcander**: I want to check out a mystery cave over there.
**Player**: But it's kind of late...
**Alcander**: There is no early or late when it comes to adventures.
**Alcander**: As long as you have the drive, you can go anywhere, any time.
**Player**: But the airship can't wait for you for too long.
**Player**: Maybe try another time?
**Alcander**: It's fine, just go back to Never Isle after you drop me off.
**Alcander**: I'll contact you when I'm done.
**Player**: Huh? How long will you be?
**Alcander**: Maybe... two weeks?
**Alcander**: Just carry on as usual while I'm gone, Player.
**Alcander**: Don't miss me too much.
**Player**: Ha! I'll try not to.
**Player**: I'll change the coordinates now. Stay safe, okay?
**Alcander**: Thanks.
**Tiger**: In the wild, again...
**Alcander**: Just think of it as camping. And...
**Alcander**: Think about the spectacular views.
**Tiger**: If that's what you want to call those things...
**Player**: Those things?
**Alcander**: Tiger... doesn't like rocks and boulders.
**Player**: I would love to hear your stories when you come back.
**Alcander**: That's a deal!

**-Intimacy Level 7**

*Airship, bridge...*
**Player**: Billy, change the direction. We're going to Red Harbor Forest!
**Player**: Alcander sent a message asking us to pick him up there.
**Billy**: Okay!
*Scene - A forest*
*Forest outside of Red Harbor, rendezvous point with Alcander...*
*Billy and Player wait for Alcander*
**Billy**: I still can't believe...
**Billy**: That he's an adventurer.
**Player**: Didn't he say so himself? Why do you have a hard time believing it?
**Billy**: Because he's so good at fortune-telling!
**Billy**: And I thought adventurers like unknown lands or the excitement from exploring.
**Player**: That's true. And?
**Billy**: I mean, with his fortune-telling skills, surely he can tell what he might see...
**Billy**: And predict what might happen.
**Billy**: If so, why is he exploring it? It's not necessary, is it?
**Player**: You have a point.
**Player**: But...
**Player**: The same view is probably different...
**Player**: When it's in front of your eyes, instead of just a prediction.
**Player**: Besides, Alcander said he's going to tell me stories of his adventures!
**Billy**: That's true...
**Player**: You can ask him yourself in a bit.
**Player**: He should be here in a few minutes.
**Billy**: Yep.
*A few moments later...*
**Billy**: Captain, it's past the rendezvous time.
**Billy**: Alcander is still not here. Do you think he's in danger?
**Player**: You're right, this is not normal for him.
**Player**: Maybe he's in trouble. Let's find him!
**Billy**: But captain, the forest is huge. Where do we even start?
**Player**: Hmm...
*Choices start*
*Choice 1.1 - Locate Alcander's flux*
**Billy**: We don't have anything to track his flux...
**Billy**: The forest is too big. We'll never be able to find his flux.
*Go back to Choices start*
*Choice 1.2 - Try to search from above*
**Billy**: This is a forest, cap.
**Billy**: We can't see anything from up here.
**Player**: We'll need to think of something else.
*Go back to Choices start*
*Choice 1.3 - Find a place that's on fire*
**Billy**: A fire?
**Player**: If Alcander is in danger, he will definitely be in his Lion King form.
**Player**: And that will cause a small fire nearby.
**Billy**: Yeah!
*Scene continues after choices*
**Billy**: Cap, I see smoke over there!
**Player**: That must be where he is!
*Scene - Another part of the forest*
*Meanwhile...*
*Alcander, in his Lion King form, is trapped inside an shadow array created by a Shadow Leader*
*Fires surround both of them*
**Alcander**: I will rip you to shreds!
**Shadow Leader**: Look around you.
**Shadow Leader**: This is where you will die. Still trying to sound scary?
**Shadow Leader**: But words are all you have left, it seems.
**Alcander**: Damn it!
**Tiger**: Is this it?
**Tiger**: Will we... die here?
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: Good boy, Tiger...
**Alcander**: Hide in my fur and don't come out, alright?
**Alcander**: There must be a way!
**Shadow Leader**: Bahahaha... looking at what you've done...
**Shadow Leader**: Believe me.
**Shadow Leader**: Death is an easy way out for you.
**Shadow Leader**: So... I won't kill you so easily.
*The Shadow Leader hits the trapped Alcander*
**Alcander**: !!
**Shadow Leader**: (Smiles... )
**Alcander**: Aaaaaaaaaaah!
**Tiger**: Al!
*A few moments later...*
**Alcander**: Hmm...
**Shadow Leader**: This is the last breath you will ever take.
**Shadow Leader**: Any last words?
**Alcander**: The lion... will burn until there's nothing left of you!
**Shadow Leader**: This is it!
**Alcander**: I didn't think this would be where I...
**Player**: Alcander!
**Shadow Leader**: Who goes there?!
*Billy and Player come to the rescue*
**Player**: Billy, Alcander is trapped in a Shadow array.
**Player**: Cover me while I disarm the array!
**Billy**: Yes, Captain!
*Billy stuns the attacking shadow forces while Player runs to Alcander's aid*
**Player**: Alcander! Are you alright?
**Alcander**: Ugh... huh... I-I'm fine.
**Alcander**: Why are you here?
**Player**: To listen to stories of your adventure!
**Alcander**: Ha!
**Player**: I've seen this array before. Just do this...
**Shadow Leader**: Hey! Don't ignore me!
*Billy attacks the Shadow Leader*
**Billy**: Eat this!
**Shadow Leader**: Damn it!
**Shadow Leader**: You will regret this!
*Player disarms the shadow array around Alcander*
**Alcander**: No, YOU will!
**Player**: Billy, let's get out of here!
*Billy and Player run*
*Alcander then burns all of the shadow in massive flames*
**Billy**: That was... wow!
**Player**: Scary!
**Alcander**: Shadow... bastards!
*Alcander collapses in exhaustion*
**Player**: Alcander!

**-Intimacy Level 8**

*One week later...*
*Never Isle, Kaism Medical Ward...*
**Alcander**: Urgh... urgh...
**Player**: Alcander is awake!
**Tiger**: Finally...
**Alcander**: Tiger...
**Alcander**: Player? Why are you here?
**Player**: You don't remember? You encountered Shadows in the forest...
**Player**: Billy and I found you, but you went down right in front of our eyes! We were so scared!
**Alcander**: Hahaha... I'm sorry you had to see this.
**Alcander**: Tiger, Player, how long have I been sleeping?
**Player**: About a week...
**Alcander**: What?!
*Alcander suddenly sits up.*
**Player**: Wait, you haven't fully recovered!
**Alcander**: The Shadows...
**Player**: Don't worry about that, Alcander.
**Player**: The Oathblades is taking care of the Shadows you found.
**Alcander**: The Oathblades? How did they know about that?
**Tiger**: I told them about the Shadows.
**Alcander**: Tiger?!
**Alcander**: Do you realize what you did?
**Tiger**: What else can I do?
**Tiger**: If I still had my powers...
**Tiger**: I could have killed those Shadows myself!
**Alcander**: Tiger...
**Player**: I don't know what happened...
**Player**: But you should always tell us when you find Shadows!
**Player**: Don't fight them by yourself!
**Alcander**: Well, Player, it was an emergency...
**Alcander**: I didn't have time to notify you.
**Player**: I know you're hiding something.
**Player**: I also know you have your reasons...
**Alcander**: ...
**Player**: I don't know your plans, but...
**Player**: The Shadows are not just your problem.
**Player**: They're our common enemy!
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander realizes that he made a mistake*
**Tiger**: You've been with me for a long time.
**Tiger**: I didn't want to see you hurt like this.
**Player**: Not just Tiger! Me too!
**Alcander**: You...
*Kaism Doctor comes in...*
**Kaism Doctor**: Visiting hours are over. The patient needs to rest now.
**Player**: I'm going back to the airship. Get better soon!
**Alcander**: Got it!
*Alcander stops you just before you leave the room...*
**Alcander**: Player!
**Player**: So?
**Alcander**: You saved me!
**Alcander**: Thank you!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: You're welcome!

**-Intimacy Level 9**

*In the evening, Never Isle port...*
*Alcander looks up at the sky.*
**Player**: Alcander?
**Player**: How are you feeling anyway?
**Alcander**: Yes, I'm feeling great.
**Alcander**: That was embarrassing. Can't believe the Shadows got me...
**Player**: I never thought the Prophet would have a bad day.
**Alcander**: I'm not a prophet!
**Alcander**: I didn't expect to run into Shadows in the forest.
**Alcander**: The Shadows are getting harder to deal with.
**Alcander**: Much harder than before.
**Player**: That is exactly why you need to let me know when you run into Shadows in the future, instead of trying to take them on by yourself.
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: Anyway, enough about Shadows.
**Alcander**: I said I would tell you about my adventures, right?
**Alcander**: Do you want to hear the stories now?
**Player**: Sure!
**Alcander**: As an adventurer, I used to sleep in the wild every night.
**Alcander**: And I would watch the stars before I went to sleep every day.
**Alcander**: A very clear night tonight. You can really see the stars.
**Player**: Yes, the Luxium sky is beautiful.
**Alcander**: Have you ever really looked at the stars before, Player?
**Alcander**: The stars we're looking at now will move westward as time goes.
**Player**: Oh?
**Alcander**: And the stars in the sky are different every month.
**Alcander**: For example, the stars of Frost are different from the stars of Blaze.
**Player**: That's amazing!
**Alcander**: It's the conclusion I came to after years of adventuring in Luxium.
**Alcander**: Even though the stars are different every month...
**Alcander**: They're actually the same if you observe on the same day next year.
**Alcander**: I've been wondering, Player...
**Alcander**: Maybe our fates...
**Alcander**: Were determined since the moment we were born.
**Player**: But many were able to change their fates through hard work.
**Alcander**: True, but there are a lot of people working hard...
**Alcander**: Yet not many of them can change their fate, right?
**Player**: I suppose that's true. But...
**Player**: If you don't even try, then there is no chance for change, right?
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: One, or even ten failures may still be bad luck.
**Alcander**: But what if it's hundreds or even thousands?
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: Even the stars of Luxium stay the same every year. Let alone our fates...
**Player**: I don't know what you've been through, Alcander.
**Player**: But if you've failed hundreds or even thousands of times...
**Player**: It doesn't hurt to try again, does it?
**Alcander**: !!
**Alcander**: Try... again?
**Player**: I mean, if you've done it thousands of times, what's one more?
**Player**: If you give up, then you've really failed.
**Player**: As long as you are willing to try, then you haven't failed!
**Alcander**: !!
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander smiles*
**Alcander**: Giving up is failing, huh...
*Continue to Trifle*

*A few days after the Oathblades took down a Shadow base...*
*During the feast...*
**Markus**: Cheers!
**Oathblades Warrior**: (Cheer) Hya!
**Oathblades Warrior**: Wolf! Can you drink some more?
**Miles**: What's going on? Since when have I stopped you from drinking?
**Oathblades Warrior**: I'm going back to drinking!
**Markus**: No!
**Markus**: You're not leaving until you're drunk!
**Oathblades Warrior**: Okay!
**Markus**: Together!
**Markus**: To the future of the Gyees!
**Miles**: To the Oathblades!
**Alcander**: To the death of all Shadows!
*Choice 1.1 - (To the ones we lost!)*
**Markus**: Cheers!
**Alcander**: Cheers!
*Everyone downs their drink...*
*Choice 1.2 - (To every soldier!)*
**Markus**: Cheers!
**Alcander**: Cheers!
*Everyone downs their drink...*
*Choice 1.3 - (To Alcander!)*
**Player**: To Alcander!
**Oathblades Warrior**: To the Prophet!
**Alcander**: Me?
**Markus**: We couldn't have done it without you, Alcander.
**Markus**: This one is to you!
**Player**: ...
*Player smiles*
**Alcander**: Thank you, Commander!
*Alcander downs his drink.*
**Markus**: Another one, Alcander?
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Alcander**: Hahaha!
**Alcander**: ...
**Player**: Alcander? What's wrong?
**Alcander**: N-Nothing...
**Player**: Kyle?
**Kyle**: Yes, it's me. Alcander can't drink too much.
**Player**: Oh... should we tell the Commander?
**Alcander**: No... I haven't been this relaxed in a while.
**Alcander**: It's fine if it's just once in a while.
**Player**: Kyle, is Alcander allergic to alcohol?
**Kyle**: No, but he can't really hold his alcohol, and...
**Kyle**: Something unpredictable might happen.
**Player**: Don't worry, Kyle.
**Player**: The Oathblades is here. And there's me.
**Kyle**: Alright, just promise me you will get him back safely.
**Player**: Okay! Don't worry!
**Alcander**: Cheers!
**Player**: I've never seen Alcander like this before.
*A few moments later...*
*Alcander is down on the table.*
**Alcander**: Huff, puff...
**Miles**: He's such a big guy, but he can't seem to hold his alcohol...
**Alcander**: I... drank... too much...
**Alcander**: But... Miles... you can't beat me!
**Miles**: What did you say?
**Player**: Is he talking in his sleep?
**Markus**: Miles...
**Markus**: Let's put him on a bed.
*Markus props up Alcander.*
**Alcander**: Commander!
*Alcander holds onto Markus.*
**Markus**: !!
**Alcander**: You said.. you would buy me the Lonely Desert...
**Markus**: ?
**Markus**: ...
*Markus grins*
**Markus**: Let's do it.
**Alcander**: But...
**Alcander**: I'm sorry, Commander... it was all my fault...
**Player**: He's starting to spew nonsense.
**Player**: I'll take him back, Commander.
**Markus**: Let me help you, Player.
**Player**: No, it's fine...
**Alcander**: Player?
*Alcander shoves Markus aside, morphs into his lion form and pounces at you.*
**Alcander**: Player!!
**Player**: Ooah!
*Alcander lands on you*
**Alcander**: Huff, puff...
**Player**: Is... is he asleep?
**Markus**: Miles, help me pick him up.
**Markus**: Let's take him back with Player.
*Airship, Alcander's room...*
**Markus**: I'll leave the rest to you, Player.
**Player**: Good thing you guys were here!
**Miles**: Let me know if you need more help.
**Player**: Got it!
*Alcander partially morphs back to Half Beast form.*
**Alcander**: Huff... huff... huff...
**Player**: I need to get him out of his clothes.
**Player**: Spaulders...
**Player**: Shoes...
**Player**: Pants...
*Alcander grabs your hand.*
**Alcander**: Don't leave me, Player...
**Player**: I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere...
*Alcander loosens his grip.*
**Player**: Pants take the longest.
**Player**: Well, he...
**Player**: ...
*Player is mesmerized by the sight before him*
**Player**: Cover him up, will you?
**Player**: I hope he doesn't catch a cold.

**-Intimacy Level 11**

*Never Isle...*
**Markus**: Player!
**Markus**: How's Alcander?
**Miles**: You didn't do anything...
**Miles**: while he was asleep, did you?
**Player**: Did I do anything?
**Player**: No way!
**Player**: I just took his clothes off and put a blanket on him.
**Miles**: That's it?
**Markus**: Ha! Stop teasing Player.
**Markus**: Alcander left his necklace here, Player.
**Markus**: Will you return this to him?
**Player**: Thanks, I will.
*Airship...*
*A few moments later...*
**Alcander**: Player...
**Player**: Alcander? You're awake!
**Player**: How are you feeling? Do you want to rest some more?
**Alcander**: No, I'm fine... just a headache.
**Player**: If your head hurts, go lie down for a while.
**Alcander**: No...
**Alcander**: It'll only make the headache worse.
**Player**: Where's Tiger?
**Alcander**: Still asleep. He usually gets up in the afternoon.
**Player**: I heard he ate everything on the table.
**Player**: Oh, right. Here, your necklace.
**Player**: You left it at the Oathblades yesterday.
**Alcander**: Wow! Thanks.
**Player**: You're welcome!
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander looks down for a moment*
**Alcander**: Player!
**Alcander**: There's something I have to tell you...
**Player**: Oh?
*Scene - Alcander's room*
**Alcander**: Player...
**Alcander**: I heard from Billy...
**Alcander**: You and Miles and the Commander took me back here, right?
**Alcander**: Thanks.
**Player**: You're welcome. I mean, you were drunk, so we had to carry you back.
**Alcander**: Also, I morphed and attacked you during the banquet.
**Alcander**: I'm so sorry.
**Player**: That wasn't really an attack.
**Player**: You were just on top of me, and I wasn't hurt.
**Player**: Your fur feels really nice.
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: One more thing...
**Player**: Hm?
**Alcander**: Do you remember when I came to see you on the airship for the first time?
**Player**: Yes, you wanted to stay on my airship.
**Alcander**: I wanted to stay on the airship, Player...
**Alcander**: So I could keep you under my watch.
**Player**: !!
**Alcander**: I was trying to figure out if you were working with the Shadows secretly.
**Alcander**: And I wanted to use you to find out more about Shadows' plans.
**Player**: Why are you telling me this now?
**Alcander**: Well, I got to know who you are...
**Alcander**: Player...
**Alcander**: You helped me countless times and saved my life more than once.
**Alcander**: Player, I...
**Alcander**: I wanted to just be friends with you, like how we are now.
**Alcander**: But I don't want to hide anything from you.
**Alcander**: I know that saying I'm sorry isn't going to cut it.
**Alcander**: But I just had to tell you, even if you kick me off the ship.
**Player**: Alcander...
*Choice 1.1 - (Hug Alcander)*
**Alcander**: !!
**Player**: You're not going anywhere!
**Player**: My ship isn't somewhere you can just come and go.
**Player**: We're partners!
**Alcander**: !!!
**Alcander**: Player...
*Alcander puts his arms around you tightly.*
**Alcander**: Thanks.
*Choice 1.2 - (Forgive Alcander)*
**Player**: I mean, after all...
**Player**: You thought I was the bad guy that destroyed Luxium.
**Player**: If I were you, I'd do the same.
**Player**: So, don't blame yourself.
**Alcander**: Player, we're still friends, right?
**Player**: Of course!
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Alcander**: Well, now that's over with...
**Alcander**: So... I can make this airship my base, right?
**Player**: Oh? Are you starting another adventure?
**Alcander**: Well, we did take down the Shadowbeast Incubation center...
**Alcander**: But we need to prepare for the final showdown.
**Alcander**: I want to make use of my experiences from parallel Luxium.
**Alcander**: So that we can take down as many Shadow strongholds as possible before the final showdown to derail their plans.
**Alcander**: It will be our advantage!
**Player**: But this is my ship...
**Player**: If you want to use my airship as a base, then I'm joining you.
**Alcander**: !!
**Player**: As your friend, I will not let you take risks on your own anymore!
**Player**: This is what I want.
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander smiles*
**Alcander**: Should I... call you captain, too?
**Alcander**: You know, like Billy does.
**Player**: No, there's no need.
**Alcander**: Yes, Captain!
*Scene - In front of some mysterious ruins in the Red Desert*
*A few days later...*
*Red Desert, Shadow stronghold assault...*
**Tiger**: Are you sure you have the right place?
**Alcander**: I'm sure!
**Player**: But this doesn't look like a Shadow stronghold.
**Player**: In fact, doesn't look like anyone has ever been here.
**Alcander**: But in other versions of Luxium, this was where the Shadowcult gathered.
**Alcander**: What is happening?

**-Intimacy Level 12**

*Hottie Bar, Airship...*
**Alcander**: What is this?
**Alcander**: I've never seen anything like it in any of the parallel Luxiums I've been in.
**Player**: Let's take a step back.
**Tiger**: So, um...
**Alcander**: You're right!
**Player**: A few weeks ago, we had our first operation in the Red Desert.
**Player**: There was supposed to be a Shadow stronghold, but we didn't find anything.
**Alcander**: And the few operations after that...
**Alcander**: And... nothing.
**Alcander**: We haven't seen a single Shadow for quite a while now.
**Player**: It's almost as if they're hiding from us.
**Tiger**: Hey, uh...
**Alcander**: Do you think it's possible that the Shadows knew we're after them?
**Alcander**: So... they changed some of their deployments.
**Player**: That's... not impossible.
**Player**: Maybe after the battle at the Shadowbeast Incubation Center...
**Player**: They learned something and changed their deployment around Luxium.
**Alcander**: If that's really the case, then...
**Tiger**: Hey, listen!
**Player**: Tiger?
**Tiger**: Alcander was pranked by two girls this morning on Never Isle.
**Alcander**: Tiger... this is not the time.
**Player**: Two girls?
**Tiger**: Yes, one sitting on something, and another with cat ears...
**Tiger**: They put some kind of itchy powder on him! Ha!
**Player**: You mean Yaen and Kitty, right?
**Player**: Kitty is actually a boy, by the way.
**Alcander**: Tiger? Why are we talking about this now?
**Tiger**: I mean.. Al...
**Tiger**: No one has been able to prank you.
**Alcander**: Who knew they'd come from above?
**Player**: Hold on!
**Player**: You've never been pranked?
**Alcander**: Only once, by Yaen. That was when I first arrived at Luxium.
**Alcander**: But then I figured her out and she never got me again.
**Player**: So that means... It's not just the Shadows.
**Player**: Even Yaen's pranks have changed.
**Tiger**: Wait, are you saying she's with them?
**Player**: That's impossible.
**Player**: If it's not just the Shadows...
**Player**: What if the entire Luxium has changed. Then it all makes sense.
**Alcander**: But nothing changed before that battle...
**Alcander**: Are you saying that the battle was the turning point?
**Player**: Yes, we changed the future of Luxium.
**Alcander**: ...
**Player**: Why do you look so sad? It's a good thing!
**Alcander**: What should we do now? None of my experiences from other parallel Luxiums are useful now.
**Alcander**: Maybe we never had a showdown with them.
**Alcander**: Does that mean everything...
*You put your arms around Alcander.*
*You can feel his heart beating quickly.*
**Player**: It's okay.
**Player**: You've read the same book too many times.
**Player**: Time to pick up a new one.
**Alcander**: !!!
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander calms down.*
**Alcander**: It's good that you're here, Player...
**Alcander**: I can't imagine what I'd do without you.
**Alcander**: So... what do we do now?
**Player**: Let's get a drink at Hottie Bar, then have a nice meal on Never Isle.
**Player**: Have a nice bath, then go to bed.
**Alcander**: What? But...
**Player**: We don't know where the Shadows are anyway, so let's at least enjoy our lives first.
**Player**: How about it? You in?
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: Sure!

**-Intimacy Level 13**

*Airship, bridge...*
**Alcander**: Hey, Player!
**Alcander**: I had an idea!
**Player**: What is it?
**Alcander**: Even though Luxium's future has been changed...
**Alcander**: And my experiences from other versions of Luxium are no longer useful...
**Alcander**: We still have to do something!
**Player**: Yes, but what? And how?
**Alcander**: You and I... we can be a special ops team in Luxium!
**Player**: A special ops team??
**Alcander**: Yep.
**Alcander**: Even though both the Never Isle and the Shadowhunters are fighting Shadows, but the two factions lack communication.
**Alcander**: And the fight against Shadows hasn't really progressed much.
**Alcander**: But the Shadowbeast fight changed the course of the battle and the future...
**Alcander**: And made me see all the possibilities.
**Alcander**: If Never Isle and Shadowhunters can work together, they will be invincible.
**Player**: But you know how Shadowhunters are...
**Player**: We can't let Morgan risk punishment to help us.
**Alcander**: That is why WE can be the bridge between them!
**Player**: Us?
**Alcander**: Yes! We can take their intel...
**Alcander**: And help them clear the threats that they can't get to.
**Alcander**: If Shadowhunters are in trouble, we can also notify any Oathblades nearby to help, or visa versa!
**Player**: Hmm...
**Alcander**: We're mobile, and we can fight...
**Alcander**: I think we can definitely do this.
**Player**: That is a good idea!
**Alcander**: And I have more good news.
**Alcander**: Recently, I got in touch with Morgan, Hachi and Bernard.
**Alcander**: And they're willing to help.
**Alcander**: I will go see Markus soon, and I'm sure he will say yes, too.
**Player**: That's amazing, Alcander.
**Alcander**: Heh!
**Alcander**: The Shadows are wary of the Shadowhunters and the Oathblades...
**Alcander**: But not us!
**Alcander**: We will be the element of surprise in this war.

**-Intimacy Level 14**

*At night, a forest near Elysiann...*
**Shadowcult Hierophant**: Ahhh!
**Alcander**: This must be the last Shadow.
**Player**: I think...
**Player**: This is the sixth Shadow base we took down as the special ops team!
**Alcander**: Yeah!
**Player**: Let's call the airship. We should get going.
**Alcander**: Should we stay a little longer, Player?
**Alcander**: What a great day!
**Player**: Sounds good! I didn't know you were into something like this.
*Scene - A forest at night*
*...*
*Alcander stands next to Player, looking at the moon*
**Alcander**: Look, Player...
**Alcander**: The moon...
**Player**: Is beautiful today.
**Alcander**: I've been to many versions of Luxium before.
**Alcander**: But I've never taken the time to really sit down...
**Alcander**: And look at the moon.
**Player**: You were thinking about nothing but Shadows.
**Alcander**: Yes, now we just need to wait for intel from the Shadowhunters or the Oathblades.
**Alcander**: So... we have plenty of time to enjoy life!
**Alcander**: I missed all the beauty that Luxium had to offer.
**Alcander**: I don't want to miss you, too, Player...
**Player**: Huh?
**Player**: Are you... hitting on me?
**Alcander**: Duh!
**Alcander**: And there's something I want to tell you.
**Alcander**: You saved me from a painful and vicious cycle, Player...
**Alcander**: So that I can finally appreciate the things in my life.
**Alcander**: So, Player...
**Alcander**: Will you go out with me?
**Alcander**: I want to be with you and protect you forever.
**Player**: Huh?
**Player**: This is... really out of nowhere...

**-Choice 1.1 - (Go out with Alcander)**

**Player**: Yes!
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander has a big smile on his face*
*Alcander puts his arms around you tightly.*
*Multiple flames burst around Player then disappear*
**Player**: !!!
*You're surprised to find that the flames don't burn at all.*
*Instead, you feel a calming warmth.*
*And it fills you with strength.*
**Alcander**: The power of the lion is for protection.
**Alcander**: And starting today, I shall protect you, Player.
**Player**: Please do!

**-Choice 1.1.1 - (Go back to the airship)**

**Player**: I'm... so excited!
**Player**: I don't know what to say.
**Player**: Alcander, why don't we go to the Hottie Bar and celebrate?
**Alcander**: Sure!
*The arcane crystal starts glowing, meaning there's new intel...*
**Billy**: Captain, I just got news from the Shadowhunters.
**Billy**: There are Shadow reinforcements in the forest near you.
**Player**: Got it! We'll be there soon.
**Alcander**: Time to get to work!
**Player**: Let's celebrate after this is over.
*Scene ends*

**-Choice 1.1.2 - (Spend more time with Alcander)**

**Player**: Can we stay like this a little longer?
**Player**: I want to slow things down a little because I'm really enjoying it.
**Alcander**: Sure!
*A few moments later...*
**Alcander**: I want to... start a band, Player.
**Player**: Who's in it?
**Alcander**: Just Morgan for now.
**Alcander**: How about you, Player?
**Player**: I can't sing to save my life.
**Alcander**: It's fine, Morgan can only howl anyway.
**Player**: Howl? Hahaha!
*Scene ends*

**-Choice 1.1.3 - (Go into the bushes with Alcander...)**

**Player**: Alcander, so are we a couple now?
**Alcander**: Of course!
**Player**: That means... we can do couple-y things, right?
**Alcander**: Hm?
**Alcander**: Oh!
**Alcander**: Definitely!
**Player**: Is here okay? I mean, we're in the forest...
**Alcander**: I love the moon. Come on!
*A few moments later...*
**Player**: !!!
*The moon shines down on Alcander, making the curves on his body even more mesmerizing.*
**Alcander**: Player?
**Alcander**: Are you... blushing?
**Player**: No...
**Player**: I just think... you look even better than before.
**Alcander**: Better than in bed?
**Player**: Huh?
**Alcander**: When I got drunk that one time...
**Alcander**: I knew it was you that took off my clothes.
**Player**: That means you should also know I've been waiting for this for a long time.
*Alcander put his arms around you.*
**Alcander**: Then why don't you just relax?
*You're enveloped in Alcander's breath, heartbeat and warmth...*
*It's almost as if you're melting in it...*
*A few moments later...*
**Alcander**: Today was great. Should we head back?
**Player**: We can stay a little longer. I don't want this day to end.
**Alcander**: You got that?
**Player**: You said you had been traveling between different worlds, right?
**Alcander**: Yes.
**Player**: Does that mean you will leave Luxium one day?
**Alcander**: Why? Are you afraid that I might disappear suddenly?
**Player**: Well, now that we're... complicated...
**Player**: I still can't really get over the fact that this will end someday.
**Player**: It makes me sad.
**Alcander**: No.
**Player**: ?
**Alcander**: I mean, we're never splitting up.
**Alcander**: I'm here because you broke me out of the wheel of fate.
**Alcander**: You helped me face the tricks that fate played on me and broke the curse with me.
**Alcander**: So... I will wait for you as long as you will return to Luxium.
**Player**: What do you mean, return? I'm still here!
**Alcander**: I'm really thankful that you're here, Player.
**Alcander**: But I'm not talking to YOU, if you know what I mean.
**Player**: Huh?
**Alcander**: Remember when I asked you to come see me after our first clash?
**Alcander**: I already knew you were different then.
**Player**: What... are you talking about?
**Alcander**: I can feel it.
**Alcander**: There's someone inside you, Player...
**Alcander**: That's been watching this world and guiding me.
**Alcander**: ■■■■■... from Earth...
**■■■■■**: ...
**■■■■■**: ...me?
**Alcander**: You finally noticed it.
**Alcander**: It is because of you that this Luxium exists.
**Alcander**: Your perspective is what drives this world.
**■■■■■**: ...
**Alcander**: If I didn't end up at this particular Luxium, under your watch...
**Alcander**: I probably would have fallen into the cycle of time.
**Alcander**: I don't think you know how important you are to me.
**■■■■■**: ...
**Alcander**: So... I will wait in this world for you.
**Alcander**: Until one day, when you probably will never come back... Then I will start my next journey.
**Alcander**: But since you're an observer of dimensions, and I'm capable of traveling to different worlds...
**Alcander**: We might meet again somewhere in the future.
**Alcander**: And in that sense... we were meant to bump into each other.
**■■■■■**: ...
**Alcander**: Let me be with you, at least for now.
**Alcander**: Even if we must part one day...
**Alcander**: I believe that wherever you go...
**Alcander**: And how your voice or appearance might change...
**Alcander**: I will still be able to recognize you.
*Scene ends*

**-Choice 1.2 - (Turn Alcander down)**

**Player**: I'm sorry, Alcander... there... is someone else...
**Player**: So...
**Alcander**: !!
**Alcander**: It's alright, I get it.
**Alcander**: Then let me watch over you... as a friend.
*Scene ends*

### Dates

**This section contains spoilers for Date scenes.**

**Problem**

**-Intro**

*Airship, bridge...*
**Tiger**: How many times now?
**Alcander**: I'm really sorry, I forgot.
**Player**: Tiger and Alcander seem to be fighting at the Hottie Bar...
**Player**: (Go take a look?)
**Player**: (Go)
*Airship Hottie Bar*
*Alcander is covered by a few rags only.*
**Player**: Alcander?
**Alcander**: Player!
**Player**: What's going on here?
**Alcander**: Sorry, let me put my clothes back on.
*Scene - Hottie Bar*
**Player**: What was that all about?
**Tiger**: No, I get it.
**Tiger**: He ripped his clothes again!
**Player**: Ripped his clothes?
**Alcander**: When we were out in the wild earlier today...
**Alcander**: Let's just say there was an emergency...
**Alcander**: And I morphed into my Lion King form by reflex.
**Alcander**: Since we were outside, I had on a jacket that was kind of tight.
**Alcander**: So... it ripped.
**Tiger**: Do you know how much we spend on your clothes every month?
**Tiger**: We can't keep doing this no matter how rich we are.
**Alcander**: Um, it was kind of an emergency, so I forgot.. Sorry.
**Tiger**: Please promise you won't rip your clothes again by morphing.
**Alcander**: I... I'm not sure if I can...
**Alcander**: Because no one has control over emergencies, right?
**Tiger**: In that case, I have nothing to say to you.
**Player**: Tiger, please go easy on Alcander.
**Player**: These are emergencies, after all.
**Player**: He didn't do it on purpose.
**Tiger**: But if he keeps doing this...
**Tiger**: We're going to run out of money soon!
**Player**: Let me think of something.

**-Why don't you just go without clothes? - 700 Intimacy**

**Player**: Since morphing is bad for his clothes...
**Player**: What if he just doesn't wear any clothes?
**Tiger**: What did you say?
**Player**: See how muscular he is?
**Player**: I couldn't take my eyes off of him when I came in just now.
**Player**: It's a crime to hide these beautiful muscles under clothes!
**Tiger**: Al, what's up with this guy?
**Alcander**: Hahaha! Player...
**Alcander**: I'll take that as a compliment.
**Tiger**: What if he just walked down the street without clothes?
**Player**: Um, right, uh...
**Alcander**: Also, Player...
**Alcander**: It's dangerous to not have any clothes on in the wild.
**Alcander**: Our skin is very delicate and we're easily poisoned from even minor scratches.
**Alcander**: It might even kill us.
**Player**: I see... right.
**Player**: What a pity.

**-Wear something that can't be ripped! - 900 Intimacy**

**Tiger**: Clothes that won't rip?
**Tiger**: That's a great idea!
**Alcander**: But where can we find clothes that won't rip?
**Player**: That's easy!
**Player**: Talk to Turing for the fabric.
**Player**: Then talk to Rupor for style!
**Tiger**: This might be the only way.
**Alcander**: Let's go talk to them!
**Player**: Don't worry, they'll definitely make you something fashionable.
**Player**: Clothes that won't rip!
**Alcander**: Thanks, Player!

**-Take off your clothes before morphing! - 500 Intimacy**

**Player**: What if you take off your clothes before you morph?
**Tiger**: That's what I said!
**Tiger**: But now...
**Tiger**: Clothes are our biggest expense!
**Alcander**: Player...
**Alcander**: When there's an emergency...
**Alcander**: There's no time for taking off clothes.
**Player**: True that.
**Alcander**: Anyway, backups are definitely necessary!
**Alcander**: Let's go shopping, Player.
**Player**: But you're just going to rip it anyway.
**Player**: Why don't you just go without clothes?
**Alcander**: Please... I'll be careful next time.

**Water & Fire**

**-Intro**

**Alcander**: Player, are you busy now?
**Alcander**: I have two tickets to the hot spring.
**Alcander**: Do you... want to join me?
**Player**: Hot spring?
**Player**: Taking a bath with Alcander?!
**Player**: Yes!
*Scene - Inside a Japanese-style bath house*
*Hot spring...*
*Alcander takes off his clothes and ties a towel around himself.*
**Player**: Alcander... you look pretty sturdy.
**Alcander**: I'm pretty confident about my body.
*Tiger walks in, looking a little reluctant.*
**Player**: Tiger, you too?
**Tiger**: He can't take a bath without me.
**Player**: Oh?
**Alcander**: Come on, Tiger... please.
**Alcander**: I'll buy you food afterward!
**Tiger**: Let's go!
*Tiger picks up Alcander's tail...*
*Alcander walks into the hot spring...*
*Tiger is making sure that Alcander's tail doesn't touch the water...*
**Alcander**: Mmm, this feels great!
**Alcander**: Player, what are you doing out there?
**Player**: Oh, right!
*A few moments later...*
*Tiger is still keeping Alcander's tail out of the water.*
**Tiger**: Al, how much longer are you going to stay?
**Alcander**: I haven't relaxed like this in a long time.
**Alcander**: Please, just a little longer.
**Alcander**: I mean, you don't want to travel with someone that stinks, right?
**Tiger**: I suppose I'll do it for the food.
**Alcander**: I can't bathe like a normal person because of the flames on my tail.
**Alcander**: And I have to trouble Tiger every single time.
**Player**: Is it... dangerous?
**Player**: I mean, sometimes the water splashes and some might get on your tail.
**Alcander**: Actually, it doesn't feel that great in the steam either.
**Alcander**: If water touches the flames, then I get very uncomfortable.
**Alcander**: It's not life-threatening, if that's what you're asking.
**Alcander**: But I have to clean myself nonetheless, or I'll smell really bad.
**Player**: Right.
**Alcander**: Player...
**Player**: So?
**Alcander**: Can you wash my back for me?
**Alcander**: I usually do it myself, but I twisted my arm the other day...
**Alcander**: So...
**Tiger**: I was wondering when you were going to ask Player to do it.
**Player**: Huh?
**Tiger**: He wanted you to come with, so you can wash his back!
**Alcander**: Well, it's not every day I get to go to a hot spring. It would be a shame if I couldn't wash my back because of a twisted arm.
**Alcander**: Of course, you can say no if it makes you uncomfortable.
**Player**: What's so strange about this?
**Player**: Sit down, I'll do it.
**Alcander**: !!
**Alcander**: Thanks...
*Scene - Outside the bath house*
*A few moments later...*
**Alcander**: That felt great!
**Alcander**: Thank you so much, Tiger and Player!
**Player**: You're welcome!
**Tiger**: Don't forget my food!
**Alcander**: Of course now!
**Player**: (There must be another way to make it easier for him to take a bath...)

**-(Ask Billy to make a fireproof case) - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: Alcander, can I see your tail for a moment?
**Alcander**: Are you... going to smoke it?
**Player**: No!
**Player**: I just want to measure the size of his tail.
**Alcander**: The size of my tail?
**Player**: If we can somehow 'quarantine' your tail, then you can take a bath every day!
**Player**: I want to ask Billy to make a waterproof and fireproof case.
**Alcander**: Don't trouble him. I'm used to it anyway.
**Player**: Trust me, Alcander.
**Player**: Nothing beats a nice bath after a hard day.
**Player**: Billy would love to help.
**Alcander**: !!!
**Alcander**: Thank you!
**Player**: Alright, turn around.
**Alcander**: Got it!
**Tiger**: I never thought this day would come.

**-(Buy no-rinse bodywash) - 500 Intimacy**

**Player**: Have you tried no-rinse bodywash?
**Player**: Then you won't need to go into the bathroom altogether.
**Player**: So your tail won't come into contact with steam.
**Alcander**: I use it in the wild sometimes.
**Alcander**: But I like the feeling of bathing in hot water.
**Player**: Right, I see.
**Player**: I thought you just don't like the humidity in the bathroom.
**Alcander**: Thanks for trying, anyway.
**Alcander**: Don't worry. I'm used to it after so many years.

**-(Shower with Alcander from now on) - 700 Intimacy**

**Player**: Well, if you don't mind...
**Player**: We...
**Player**: Can shower together.
**Alcander**: Hm? Together?
**Player**: Maybe you do need someone to wash your back.
**Player**: You're big and your back is huge...
**Alcander**: Hahaha!
**Alcander**: Is this an invitation, Player?
**Player**: Well, no, but...
**Alcander**: This is a good idea!
**Alcander**: So, um, Player, I guess...
**Alcander**: I'll be asking for your help!

**Invitation**

**-Intro**

**Alcander**: Player, are you free today?
**Alcander**: Want to come out?
**Player**: Sure! Where are you?
*Scene - Never Isle*
**Alcander**: Hey, Player!
**Player**: What are your plans today?
**Alcander**: Even an adventurer like me...
**Alcander**: Needs a day off from time to time.
**Alcander**: And I'll pay for whatever we end up doing today!
**Player**: What's the occasion?
**Alcander**: I do live on your airship, after all.
**Alcander**: And it's necessary to be on good terms with the owner.
**Alcander**: So that when you want to kick me out one day, you might reconsider.
**Alcander**: You finally realized how nice I am, and now you can't stay away from me?
**Player**: I can never forget about you.
**Player**: What are we doing today?
**Alcander**: Why don't you decide, Player?
**Alcander**: I'm fine with anything.
**Player**: Hmm... Let's see...

**-(Karaoke) - 900 Intimacy**

**Player**: How about karaoke? We haven't gone in a long time.
**Player**: Let's go to Grab That Mic!
**Player**: How about that?
**Alcander**: Sure!
**Alcander**: I didn't peg you as a singing type.
**Player**: Wow, you...
**Alcander**: I'm going to drown you in my sultry voice...
**Alcander**: Don't fall in love with me.
**Player**: You think too highly of yourself, sir.
**Player**: I want to see how good you are!
**Alcander**: Let's do it!

**-(Drinking) - 700 Intimacy**

**Player**: Alcander, I know a good tavern...
**Player**: They have the best Never Isle Ice Tea.
**Alcander**: What? Alcohol?
**Player**: You don't want to drink? We can do something else.
**Alcander**: No, it's fine.
**Alcander**: I actually do like to drink.
**Alcander**: It feels great when I get a nice buzz going.
**Alcander**: But I can't drink too much.
**Alcander**: No laughing at me, okay?
**Player**: It's fine.
**Player**: I can't drink much anyway.
**Player**: If you're drunk, their Heather Tea is a great cure!
**Player**: Let's go!

**-(Swimming) - 500 Intimacy**

**Player**: It's getting hot. Should we go for a swim?
**Player**: We can frolic in the water AND get a workout!
**Alcander**: Huh?
**Alcander**: Uh...
**Player**: You don't know how to swim?
**Player**: I can teach you. I'll even do it for free!
**Alcander**: It's not that I can't, but...
**Player**: Um...
**Player**: !!
**Player**: You're not embarrassed, are you?
**Player**: Don't be. You have a very nice body.
**Player**: And it would be a shame if you don't show it off at the pool.
**Player**: Maybe you'll even find a date there!
**Player**: Come on!
**Alcander**: No... my tail...
**Alcander**: Don't!

**Unchangeable Fate**

Fate never goes as people wish...

**-Part 1**

*Scene - Airship cockpit*
**Billy**: Captain, I found this in the life-support system...
*Billy took out a paper ball...*
**Billy**: Someone must have littered it and it got stuck in the air system!
**Billy**: It wasn't you, was it?
**Player**: I always sort the garbage as you require...
**Billy**: I know...
**Player**: Could it be a customer?
**Billy**: No, I recycle the garbage in Hottie Bar respectively...
**Billy**: It can only be someone who lives on the airship...
**Player**: Could it be Kitty?
**Billy**: I had the same doubt, but Kitty's hanging out with Yaen these days. He never came to the airship.
**Billy**: It can't be him...
**Player**: What does it say?
**Player**: Perhaps it will tell us whom it belongs to...
**Billy**: Let me see...
**Billy**: It looks like the calendar of this month...
**Billy**: One of the dates is circled. It says...
**Billy**: The beginning of the end!
**Player**: Let me see!
**Billy**: ...
*Billy frowns*
**Player**: It's written by Alcander!
**Player**: The date is, tomorrow...
**Billy**: It's... a bit creepy, captain!
**Player**: Looks like...
**Player**: It IS thrown away by Alcander himself.
**Billy**: Mr. Alcander's note!!
**Billy**: So!?
**Billy**: Luxium is doomed tomorrow!?
**Player**: Calm down, Billy!
**Player**: Even Alcander can't predict everything!
**Player**: We'd better find him now and ask him what it's about!
**Billy**: All... All right!
*Later...*
**Player**: Billy, have you found Alcander?
**Billy**: No, he's not on the ship.
**Billy**: I just checked the log...
**Billy**: He left early this morning...
**Player**: Alcander...
**Player**: What are you hiding from us?
**???**: I can take you to Alcander!
*It was a stranger's voice.*
**Player**: Who's there?!
*Player looks around*
**Billy**: What's wrong, Captain?
**Player**: Watch out. Someone's on the ship!
**Billy**: What?
**Player**: He was talking to me...
**Billy**: Captain, you all right?
**Player**: You, you didn't hear that?
**???**: Player...
**???**: That hooded guy can't hear me!
**Player**: Who are you?
**Kyle**: Call me Kyle. Alcander needs your help!
**Billy**: Captain... you okay?
**Player**: Why don't you let Billy hear you?
**Kyle**: You'll never know how much effort it takes to talk to you!
**Kyle**: I can't let another one join us!
**Player**: What's Alcander doing?
**Kyle**: You'd better ask him directly!
**Kyle**: Here are his coordinates! He needs your help!
**Player**: What's wrong? Did he run into Shadows again?
**Player**: Kyle?
**Player**: Kyle!?
**Player**: Damn it!
**Billy**: Captain, you've been talking to yourself.
**Billy**: That's creepy!
**Player**: A voice was talking to me. He said he's Alcander's friend...
**Player**: And he said Alcander's in danger.
**Billy**: Huh? No way. There are only the two of us on the ship!
**Player**: That voice sounded in my head directly...
**Billy**: How... How is that possible?
**Player**: I know...
**Player**: But we don't have a choice. We can only believe him!
**Player**: Billy, take off now! We're going to these coordinates!
*A few moments later...*
**Billy**: Captain, we received an Arcana signal from the ground!
**Player**: An Arcana signal? I don't think there's any town nearby.
**Player**: Let it in!
**Oathblades Control Tower**: Airship from Never Isle, you're entering the no-fly zone of Oathblades!
**Oathblades Control Tower**: We will guide you to land on a specific spot!
**Player**: Oathblades's no-fly zone?
**Player**: Billy, listen to them! Let's land!
**Player**: When we reach the ground, you stay in the airship. I'll talk to them!
**Billy**: Got it, Captain!
*Scene - Oathblades camp*
*...*
*A few moments later...*
**Player**: What's going on? Why are there so many soldiers here?
**Oathblades Guard**: Oathblades is carrying out a mission here!
**Oathblades Guard**: We will refill your airship...
**Oathblades Guard**: Please go back to Never Isle after that!
**Player**: What mission? That's a large group of soldiers!
**Oathblades Guard**: Sorry, no comment!
**Player**: Uh... All right...
**Oathblades Captain**: Wait!
**Oathblades Captain**: Player, is it?
**Player**: Yes!
**Oathblades Captain**: Commander's order, let him in!
**Oathblades Guard**: Yes, sir!
**Oathblades Captain**: Player, please come with me!
*The captain leads Player to the center of the camp*
*Player sees Markus and Miles interrogating Alcander*
**Player**: Alcander?
**Markus**: What?
**Markus**: Cancel the operation!?
**Miles**: What do you mean, Alcander?
**Markus**: This fortress is vital for us!
**Markus**: It's a Shadowbeast breeding center...
**Markus**: As long as we capture it, all the Shadow's operations in the south of Luxium will fail!
**Markus**: There's no way I give up such an opportunity!
**Alcander**: I know! But now is not a good time!
**Markus**: We have the intelligence the Shadowbeasts there will be sent to their strongholds in the south tomorrow.
**Markus**: Tomorrow is a perfect time to capture the fortress!
**Alcander**: I know, but we can't just assault it tomorrow!
**Markus**: Alcander... Why are you stopping me?
**Alcander**: I...
**Alcander**: It's...
**Miles**: So no reason, huh... Are you looking for trouble?
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: If Oathblades set off tomorrow... you're all gonna die...
**Player**: !!!
**Markus**: ...
**Miles**: What?
**Alcander**: Everyone here's gonna die!
**Alcander**: Including Miles, and...
**Alcander**: Commander Markus.
**Alcander**: Your deaths and sacrifice... I've seen them too many times...
**Oathblades Warrior**: Is that Mr. Alcander's prophecy?
**Oathblades Warrior**: Oh no, so tomorrow...
**Miles**: Alcander! Stop undermining the morale with your stupid divination!
**Miles**: No one has ever fought this battle! You don't know!
**Oathblades Warrior**: Miles's right! I don't buy that stupid divination!
**Oathblades Warrior**: But Mr. Alcander's prophecy...
**Markus**: Alcander, besides your divination, you got any other reasons?
**Alcander**: !!
**Alcander**: No... I don't... But sir!
**Alcander**: Please believe me!
**Markus**: Guys, I know what Alcander's divination means...
**Markus**: Looks like... we're not favored by fate!
**Markus**: But Oathblades...
**Markus**: Never believes in fate!
**Markus**: When Azria was destroyed, countless took it as the end of Gyees!
**Markus**: But the moment Oathblades took an oath on the ruins of Azria...
**Markus**: Gyees have started the fight against fate!!
**Markus**: Guys, although there are many of us...
**Markus**: It's not gonna be an easy fight tomorrow!
**Markus**: If you wanna leave, I'm not gonna stop you!
**Markus**: If you wanna stay, we'll fight together!
*Markus raises his sword*
**Markus**: We will create our own fate together!
**Oathblades Warrior**: We will follow you forever, Commander!!
**Oathblades Warrior**: We pledge allegiance to Oathblades!!
**Oathblades Warrior**: Oathblades never dies!!!
**Alcander**: !!
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander looks disappointed*
**Markus**: Alcander, I don't buy your divination...
**Markus**: And I'll prove you wrong!
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander walks away*
**Miles**: Commander, I'll let someone follow him.
**Markus**: No! Let the soldiers have a good rest. We gotta prepare for tomorrow's battle.
**Miles**: Got it!
*Alcander walks into Player*
**Alcander**: Player, what are you doing here?
**Kyle**: I got him here!
**Alcander**: Kyle?
**Kyle**: You will only make the same mistake if you keep going this way!
**Player**: The same mistake? What are you talking about?
**Alcander**: Uh... well...
**Kyle**: Alcander, time to tell everything to Player!
**Alcander**: What?!
**Alcander**: Are you joking?
**Kyle**: You should at least give it a try! You wanna see Luxium being destroyed again?
**Alcander**: No! Absolutely not!
**Kyle**: This is the perfect timing! It'd be too late when it dawns!
**Alcander**: Uh...
**Alcander**: There's gotta another way!
**Kyle**: We've tried many ways, and?
**Alcander**: ...
**Kyle**: Alcander, this is the first time we ask Player for help!
**Alcander**: ...
**Kyle**: You know what he's got. We still have a chance if you work with him!
**Alcander**: ...
**Player**: Alcander...
**Alcander**: Sorry, I don't wanna do it now...
**Player**: I don't know what happened...
**Player**: But if you can't solve it on your own...
**Player**: Please tell me. Maybe I can help!
**Player**: At least I can try.
**Alcander**: Alas...
**Alcander**: Alright...
**Alcander**: Player, you may not believe what I'm gonna say...
**Player**: Let me put it this way, Alcander. The first time we met, you tried to kill me...
**Player**: And I found a page from a calendar in the life-support system. It says 'The beginning of the end!'
**Player**: Then Kyle called me and you want to stop Oathblades's operation.
**Player**: What do you think is unbelievable to me now?
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander grins*
**Alcander**: Since you mentioned Kyle, we'll talk about him first...
**Alcander**: Like Tiger, he's also a partner of mine.
**Alcander**: But he didn't make it through when we traveled to this world...
**Alcander**: So he can only talk to me this way.
**Alcander**: Remember when I talked to myself? I was talking to Kyle...
**Player**: Alcander, did you just said... 'traveled to this world?'
**Alcander**: For some reason, I got the ability to travel between different worlds.
**Alcander**: I've been on an adventure, traveling to different worlds...
**Alcander**: Then I came to Luxium...
**Alcander**: I've... witnessed its doom many times...
**Alcander**: And today... is the beginning of the doom...
**Player**: What, the doom? Where am I living now?
**Alcander**: Luxium, but another Luxium in another parallel universe.
**Player**: What? You mean... you came from a Luxium that has already been destroyed?
**Alcander**: Correct!
**Alcander**: As for why I can foresee the future...
**Alcander**: That's because I've gone through what happened in this world too many times...
**Player**: !!

**-Choice 1.1 - Why did you come to Luxium again?**

**Alcander**: Player...
**Alcander**: If you witnessed your friends' deaths...
**Alcander**: Never Isle turning into ruins...
**Alcander**: And the whole Luxium being devoured by the Shadows again and again...
**Alcander**: If you were me... will you just let it go?
**Player**: ...
**Player**: But... why did you keep it from us? You should've asked us for help!
**Alcander**: I... I don't wanna...
**Kyle**: Alcander doesn't wanna see his friends die again, so he chooses to stay away...
**Player**: What?
**Player**: Turns out you've been suffering all the time...
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: I gotta save Luxium!
**Alcander**: I don't wanna see it being destroyed again!
*Choice 1.1.1 - Why did you come to Luxium again?*
*Go to Choice 1.1*
*Choice 1.1.2 - What does it have to do with Oathblades's operation?*
*Go to Choice 1.2*
*Choice 1.1.3 - But... your divination is not 100% precise, right?*
*Go to Choice 1.3*
*Choice 1.1.4 - How was the previous Luxium destroyed?*
*Continue with the conversation*

**-Choice 1.2 - What does it have to do with Oathblades's operation?**

**Alcander**: Tomorrow, Oathblades's operation...
**Alcander**: Is the beginning of the end!
**Player**: The beginning of the end?
**Alcander**: In tomorrow's battle...
**Alcander**: Commander Markus, and over half of Oathblades' soldiers will die...
**Alcander**: Such a great loss...
**Alcander**: Will make Oathblades collapse...
**Alcander**: In the final battle against the Shadows...
**Alcander**: The human forces were no match for the Shadows. At last, they devoured the whole Luxium...
**Player**: !!!
**Alcander**: In other Luxiums...
**Alcander**: I tried to stop Commander from sacrificing himself by all means...
**Alcander**: I fought with him, assassinated the boss of the fortress, and did many other things...
**Alcander**: But none of them worked...
**Alcander**: Oathblades... can't afford to lose Commander Markus!
**Alcander**: Anyway, we gotta stop Oathblades from fighting the Shadows tomorrow!
*Choice 1.2.1 - Why did you come to Luxium again?*
*Go to Choice 1.1*
*Choice 1.2.2 - What does it have to do with Oathblades's operation?*
*Go to Choice 1.2*
*Choice 1.2.3 - But... your divination is not 100% precise, right?*
*Go to Choice 1.3*
*Choice 1.2.4 - How was the previous Luxium destroyed?*
*Continue with the conversation*

**-Choice 1.3 - But... your divination is not 100% precise, right?**

**Alcander**: Huh?
**Player**: You were ambushed by the Shadows, right?
**Player**: Which means what happened in another Luxium...
**Player**: May not happen here!
**Alcander**: Right...
**Alcander**: But that's not good news. The Shadows in this Luxium...
**Alcander**: Are stronger than any others I met!
**Alcander**: I'm afraid the situation is only worse!
**Kyle**: Look at the bright side.
**Kyle**: The Oathblades in this world is the strongest among all of them!
**Alcander**: That's true... but still, we gotta stay alert!
**Player**: Don't worry, Alcander!
**Player**: I'll help you!
*Choice 1.3.1 - Why did you come to Luxium again?*
*Go to Choice 1.1*
*Choice 1.3.2 - What does it have to do with Oathblades's operation?*
*Go to Choice 1.2*
*Choice 1.3.3 - But... your divination is not 100% precise, right?*
*Go to Choice 1.3*
*Choice 1.3.4 - How was the previous Luxium destroyed?*
*Continue with the conversation*

*Conversation continues after choices*
**Alcander**: The first time... It was because of you!
**Player**: Hmm? Me!?
**Alcander**: Yeah. You betrayed us in the final battle, Player!
**Alcander**: And killed us all!
**Player**: Uh... Am I that good?
**Alcander**: Believe me, your power in that world was far beyond your imagination!
**Alcander**: So, since the second time I went to Luxium...
**Alcander**: The first thing I needed to do was always to kill you, Player!
**Player**: So that's why you tried to kill me when we first met!
**Alcander**: Yeah...
**Player**: But aren't you afraid I may betray you?
**Alcander**: We've been friends for a long time...
**Alcander**: Player, you're not like any of yourselves in other worlds!
**Kyle**: That's why I turn to you, Player.
**Kyle**: No one is more reliable than the boss in the last game!
**Player**: ...
**Alcander**: Now the most urgent task is to persuade Oathblades to give up tomorrow's operation!
**Player**: All right...
**Player**: I'll talk to Markus...
**Alcander**: We count on you!
*A few moments later...*
**Markus**: Player, you're here for Alcander, right?
**Player**: Yeah.
**Markus**: Well... Player...
**Markus**: You know, I'm not gonna give up this operation!
**Player**: Is there another way?
**Player**: I mean, what if... what if Alcander's prophecy is true...
**Markus**: Player, this fortress provides Shadowbeasts for all the Shadow strongholds in the south...
**Markus**: These days, Oathblades has been attacking these strongholds...
**Markus**: So most forces defending this fortress have been sent to guard them.
**Markus**: Tomorrow is the best opportunity to capture it!
**Markus**: Without this stronghold, the Shadows' control over the south will be greatly weakened!
**Player**: Commander, I understand... but...
**Markus**: Player...
**Markus**: This operation means more than all our lives!
**Markus**: Without this stronghold, we can save the south from the Shadows' control in no time!
**Markus**: Countless people will be saved!
**Markus**: Player, every battle has a risk...
**Markus**: Someone has to stand out!
**Player**: Fine...
*Player goes back to Alcander*
**Player**: Tiger?
**Player**: How come I didn't see you?
**Tiger**: I checked the Shadows' defense at the fortress...
**Alcander**: How was it?
**Tiger**: Much weaker than usual...
**Tiger**: But still, it's much heavier than...
*Tiger glanced at you...*
**Alcander**: It's okay. Player knows now.
**Tiger**: Great! We should have told Player earlier!
**Tiger**: The defense is heavier than those in other Luxiums.
**Alcander**: Uh, the Shadows in this Luxium are really tougher!
**Alcander**: Player, how's it going?
**Player**: Markus has made up his mind. Oathblades will attack the fortress tomorrow, no matter what...
**Tiger**: I knew it...
**Tiger**: So there's nothing we can do to change Oathblades's fate?
**Alcander**: We still have time!
**Alcander**: I'll stop them!
**Player**: What are you gonna do?
**Alcander**: I'll stand in their way!
**Tiger**: What?
**Player**: Are you gonna fight them?
**Player**: You'll be going against the whole Never Isle if you do so!
**Alcander**: This is the only way!!
**Player**: No! It won't help!
**Player**: Even your power is nothing compared to the whole force of Oathblades!
**Player**: You'll be beaten up and Oathblades will carry on with the operation!
**Alcander**: But, what else can we do?
**Player**: Well...

**-Choice 2.1 - Turn to Order of Equality!**

**Alcander**: No, they do better at bombing from the air...
**Alcander**: But the fortress is underground, so bombing doesn't help at all!
**Alcander**: It will even alert them!
**Tiger**: Player, Alcander already turned to Order of Equality in the past...
**Tiger**: But that only increased the number of casualties...
**Player**: What about the Shadowhunters?
**Player**: They've been fighting the Shadows since ancient times...
**Player**: We should turn to them!
**Alcander**: But most Shadowhunters are guarding the altar. They've all those old and stubborn rules...
**Alcander**: They need to report to their boss before such a joint operation.
**Alcander**: It'd be too late when they get the approval...
**Tiger**: Alcander already tried that...
**Tiger**: It took their boss a month to approve it...
**Player**: But I believe if I ask Morgan, Hachi and Bernard for help...
**Player**: They will be there!
**Alcander**: But they are also Shadowhunters!
**Player**: ...
*Choice 2.1.1 - Turn to Order of Equality!*
*Go to Choice 2.1*
*Choice 2.1.2 - Let's attack the fortress in advance!*
*Go to Choice 2.2*
*Choice 2.1.3 - Let's protect Commander!*
*Continue with the conversation*

**-Choice 2.2 - Let's attack the fortress in advance!**

**Tiger**: Player...
**Tiger**: It takes the whole Oathblades to attack that fortress...
**Player**: But I think maybe we can build an elite squad and infiltrate into it...
**Player**: As long as we destroy the key spots, the fortress will collapse from the inside.
**Alcander**: Nice idea... but it won't work...
**Alcander**: If it would work, Commander wouldn't have planned the attack.
**Player**: Yeah... you're right...
*Choice 2.1.1 - Turn to Order of Equality!*
*Go to Choice 2.1*
*Choice 2.1.2 - Let's attack the fortress in advance!*
*Go to Choice 2.2*
*Choice 2.1.3 - Let's protect Commander!*
*Continue with the conversation*

*Conversation continues after choices*
**Player**: I know the fortress is heavily guarded...
**Player**: But we can infiltrate into it during Oathblades's attack.
**Player**: And destroy it from the inside!
**Player**: We still have a chance, Alcander!
**Alcander**: Distraction, good idea...
**Alcander**: But I already tried it... many times...
**Alcander**: The Shadows in the fortress are unbelievably strong!
**Alcander**: I... I was no match for it...
**Player**: But this is the first time you have my help!
**Alcander**: But what if we fail?
**Alcander**: Maybe I can still run to another Luxium...
**Alcander**: But for you and everyone on Never Isle, this is the only opportunity...
**Alcander**: I don't wanna bet everything on it!
**Player**: I understand, but...
**Player**: You'll never know if you don't try!
**Alcander**: ...
**Player**: Alcander!
**Alcander**: ...
**Player**: We will save Commander!
**Player**: The future you saw won't happen again!
**Alcander**: All right!
**Alcander**: We'll do as you say!
**Alcander**: Tiger and I will scout the fortress for an entrance...
**Alcander**: We won't come back tonight...
**Alcander**: See you in the forest tomorrow morning!
**Player**: All right!
*Scene - Airship cockpit*
*A few moments later...*
**Billy**: Captain, what on earth happened?
**Player**: Well...

**-Choice 3.1 - (Tell Billy what happened.)**

**Player**: Actually...
*You told Billy what had happened...*
**Billy**: This is... unbelievable!
**Player**: I know...
**Billy**: Captain, we should turn to the Shadowhunters!
**Player**: How? Tell them Oathblades is in trouble and needs their help?
**Billy**: We should tell them the truth!
**Player**: But... are they gonna believe us?
**Billy**: Yes! Just like how much I believe you!
**Player**: Hmm...

**-Choice 3.1.1 - (Inform the Shadowhunters.)**

**Player**: You're right, Billy!
**Player**: The Shadowhunters are experts against the Shadows...
**Player**: Billy! Send a message to Morgan, Hachi and Bernard!
**Player**: We need everything that can help us win!
**Billy**: Yes, Captain! Do we need to inform their headquarters?
**Player**: No! Only those we trust are supposed to know it for now...
**Player**: In case the Shadows are alerted!
**Billy**: Understood!
**Billy**: Captain!
**Player**: What?
**Billy**: If Luxium is actually destroyed in the future...
**Billy**: It's been a pleasure to travel with you!
**Player**: We're not done with the travel...
**Player**: So don't worry. I will save Luxium!
*Go to Part 2*

**-Choice 3.1.2 - (Keep it from the Shadowhunters.)**

**Player**: Hmm... I don't think so...
**Player**: This is gonna be a secret operation...
**Player**: The Shadows may be alerted if we let anyone else know.
**Billy**: All right, Captain! Your call!
*Go to Part 2*

**-Choice 3.2 - (Keep it from Billy for now.)**

**Player**: Well, Alcander ran into Shadows again...
**Player**: But this time... he was saved by Oathblades.
**Billy**: So, what does he mean by 'The beginning of the end?'
**Player**: Uh... Alcander said he made a mistake...
**Billy**: All right... Where is he now?
**Player**: He's busy, won't come back today.
**Player**: Don't worry. He'll be back tomorrow.
**Player**: Let's take a break!
**Billy**: Alright...
*Go to Part 2*

**-Part 2**

*Scene - A forest*
*The next morning...*
**Alcander**: Player, you ready?
**Player**: Yep. I bought Lukka's bombs and brought Master Vundo's Arcana Antagonist!
**Player**: Hope they help!
**Player**: Where's Tiger?
**Alcander**: He's observing the main force of Oathblades...
**Alcander**: He will inform us through Kyle if anything.
**Player**: Great!
**Alcander**: When Oathblades starts to attack...
**Alcander**: We'll sneak into the fortress!
**Player**: All right!
*A large blast goes off in the distance*
**Alcander**: Player, let's go!
*Scene - Shadow Fortress entrance*
**Shadowcult Soldier**: Incoming! Oathblades!
**Shadowcult Soldier Captain**: Reinforce the frontline!
**Shadowcult Soldier**: Yes, sir!
*The soldiers leave*
*Alcander and Player reach the entrance to the underground fortress*
**Alcander**: They left. Come with me!
**Alcander**: There's an entrance nearby!
*Two Shadowcult Soldiers come back*
**Shadowcult Soldier**: !!
**Shadowcult Soldier**: This way...
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander kills the two soldiers*
**Alcander**: Phew... that was close...
*Player manages to activate the portal that will warp inside the fortress*
**Player**: Entrance found!
*Scene - Inside the fortress*
*Sounds of explosions echo throughout the fortress*
**Shadowcult Hierophant A**: Oathblades incoming!
**Shadowcult Hierophant B**: How did they get here?
**Shadowcult Hierophant C**: Reinforce the frontline!
**Shadowcult Hierophant C**: Otherwise we'll spend the rest of our life in Archbishop's lab!
*The hierophants leave just as Player and Alcander sneak in*
**Player**: We're in!
**Player**: Never thought it would be so large!
**Alcander**: This is just the upper floor of the upper area...
**Alcander**: We just need to set a bomb in the core of each floor...
**Alcander**: And boom! This fortress will be forever gone!
**Alcander**: According to my reconnaissance...
*Alcander walks towards the left*
**Alcander**: There are fewer Shadows this way!
**Player**: You know their defense that well? Cool!
**Alcander**: Remember when you saved me in the forest?
**Alcander**: That day I was trying to steal the defense map of the fortress. And you know, I was ambushed as soon as I got it...
**Player**: What? So... the Shadows know their defense tactics are exposed?
**Alcander**: Maybe, but we killed every Shadow there...
**Alcander**: Given their actions now, I don't think they know.
**Player**: Great! Let's go then!
**Alcander**: All right!
*Player and Alcander go deeper in the fortress*
**Player**: Oh my! Not one Shadow in our way!!
**Alcander**: This is the core of the upper floor...
**Alcander**: Set the bomb!
*A few moments later...*
**Player**: Bombs set!
**Alcander**: Is it enough?
**Player**: Don't worry. They are made by Lukka.
**Player**: The power is the last thing to worry about!
**Alcander**: Okay!
**Alcander**: Let's go to the middle floor!
**Alcander**: This way. Fewer Shadows!
*Player and Alcander go deeper in the fortress*
*As Player and Alcander run into a room, a giant dome of shadow flux suddenly surrounds them*
**Alcander**: !!
*The dome explodes in a flash of light and Alcander is trapped in an arcana prison*
**Alcander**: Shoot! Arcana trap!
*An alarm starts to go off*
**Player**: Alcander!?
**Alcander**: Player, I walked into the Shadows' trap. I can't move...
**Player**: But... I'm fine?
*Multiple Shadow forces run to Player and Alcander's location*
**Shadowcult Hierophant**: Enemies spotted!
**Shadowcult Hierophant**: Tremble, before the power of the Shadow!
**Alcander**: There are too many of them! No time to lift the trap...
**Alcander**: Player, run!
**Player**: ...
*The arcana prison around Alcander disappears*
**Player**: I got Master Vundo's Arcana antagonist!
**Alcander**: Nice timing, Player!
**Shadowcult Hierophant**: Take them out! NOW!
**Alcander**: Player, c'mon!
*Player and Alcander defeat the Shadow forces*
**Alcander**: Never thought the Shadows would set traps...
**Player**: But... I was fine?
**Alcander**: These traps are designed for me...
**Alcander**: Just like those in the forest!
**Player**: Could it be... they knew you were coming?
**Alcander**: Maybe... but their defense on the upper floor didn't change...
**Player**: That's weird.
**Alcander**: How many antagonists have you got?
**Player**: The rest can only save you one more time...
**Alcander**: Hmm...
**Alcander**: We have no time to think now. Let's go!
**Player**: All right!
*Player and Alcander go deeper in the fortress and reach a branching path*
**Player**: A fork. Which way?
**Alcander**: If their defense in the middle floor remains the same...
**Alcander**: We should take the left!
**Player**: But if they know you're coming... and set an ambush there...
**Alcander**: We'll walk right into their trap...
**Alcander**: This is tricky...
**Kyle**: Alcander, let Player make the decision!
**Player**: Eh? Me?
**Kyle**: The Shadows know Alcander is coming...
**Kyle**: But there's no way they know Player is coming too!
**Kyle**: Player, you make the decision!
**Alcander**: Okay! So Player, which way?
**Player**: According to Alcander's intelligence...
**Player**: There will be fewer Shadows on the left, but there may be traps and ambush as well...
**Player**: While there will be lots of Shadows on the right...

**-Choice 1.1 - Go left!**

**Alcander**: Hmm...
*Alcander and Player run left*
*As they enter another room, Alcander is trapped in an arcana prison again*
**Alcander**: Ambush, as we expected.
**Shadow Mage**: Lion guy, I knew you would come here!
*Three Shadow Mages appear out of thin air*
**Shadow Mage**: You destroyed so many strongholds of ours. The Shadowlord has kept an eye on you!
**Shadow Mage**: This time... Neither of you will leave!
**Player**: Alcander, I'll lift the trap now...
**Shadow Mage**: Regret stepping in here!
*Player releases the prison*
**Alcander**: Damn, their target is...
*The mages launch an attack at Player but Alcander takes the hit for Player*
**Player**: Alcander!!
**Alcander**: Not... again...
**Alcander**: ...
**Player**: !!
*(It shouldn't have ended this way...)*
*(Gotta try again!)*
*Scene ends*

**-Choice 1.2 - Go right!**

**Alcander**: Hmm...
*Alcander and Player run right*
*Further into the fortress, the encounter more Shadow forces*
**Shadow Mage**: Enemies on the middle floor!
**Shadow Mage**: Pull the alarm!
*An alarm goes off*
**Alcander**: Damn it... Looks out our stealth is over...
**Alcander**: Player, stay behind me!
**Player**: Alcander, don't underestimate...
**Alcander**: Roar!!
*Alcander defeats the Shadows in their path*
**Shadow Mage**: Mon... Monster...
**Player**: Oh, my, goodness...
**Alcander**: We're spotted. I guess there will be lots of Shadows in the way! But...
**Alcander**: The more we kill, the less Commander will have to face...
**Alcander**: The core of the middle floor is right around. Let's go!
**Player**: Okay!
*A few moments later...*
**Player**: Middle floor bombs set!
**Alcander**: Good. Only one floor left in the upper area...
**Kyle**: Alcander, Player...
**Kyle**: Tiger just said the main force of Oathblades is having trouble entering the fortress...
**Kyle**: The attack is stuck...
**Alcander**: The entrance?
**Alcander**: Player, detonate the bombs on the upper floor!!
**Player**: Okay!
*Boom!!!*
**Alcander**: My... ears!
**Alcander**: Can't believe I can even hear the explosion from here!
**Alcander**: What kind of bomb... is that?
**Player**: Told you not to worry about them.
**Kyle**: Tiger said most Shadow defenses were killed by the collapse...
**Kyle**: The main force of Oathblades has made its way into the fortress successfully!
**Alcander**: The battle has just started...
**Alcander**: Player, let's move!
**Player**: Okay!
*Scene - Further in the fortress*
*The Shadow forces are in disarray*
**Shadow Soldier**: Enemies on the lower floor!
**Shadow Soldier**: Enemy infiltrators are already on the lower floor!
**Shadow Soldier**: Oathblades has destroyed the defenses on the upper floor...
**Shadow Soldier**: We lost the upper floor!
**Shadow Mage**: Reinforce the frontline!
*Alcander ambushes the Shadow*
**Alcander**: ...
**Shadow Mage**: What! Enemies here!?
*Alcander defeats them in one attack*
*Elsewhere...*
**Shadow Soldier**: Enemy infiltrators have been raiding us! There's nothing we can do!
**Shadow Soldier**: Run!!
**Shadow Soldier**: How? The upper floor is occupied by Oathblades!
*In another part of the fortress...*
**Shadow Soldier Captain**: Sir, enemy infiltrators have separated us!
**Shadow Soldier Captain**: They are attacking us one after another!
**Shadow Soldier Captain**: We can't reinforce the frontline!
**Shadow Soldier Commander**: Damn it!!
**Shadow Soldier Commander**: Don't panic! I've got experience for this...
**Shadow Soldier Commander**: Rally first and search for the infiltrators!
**Shadow Soldier Commander**: After we kill them, we can reorganize and take on Oathblades!
**Alcander**: Wanna kill us?
*Player and Alcander walk in on the Shadow Soldier Commander*
**Shadow Soldier Commander**: What? They are already here?
**Shadow Soldier Commander**: Well, you save me the trouble!
**Shadow Soldier Commander**: Go to hell!
**Alcander**: ...
*Alcander kills the commander*
**Shadow Soldier Captain**: They took out Commander!!
**Player**: It's your turn now!!
*A few moments later...*
**Player**: Bombs set...
**Player**: The whole upper area will collapse upon your order!
**Alcander**: Kyle, how's Oathblades doing?
**Kyle**: The Shadows are in a mess...
**Kyle**: They are routed!
**Kyle**: At this speed, Alcander, Player...
**Kyle**: Oathblades will meet you guys in the core of the lower area!
**Alcander**: !!
**Player**: Haha, we really kicked their ass!
**Player**: This is a sure win!
**Alcander**: Don't let your guard down...
**Alcander**: Player, hurry up!
**Alcander**: We gotta reach the core of the lower area before Commander Markus does!
**Player**: Why?
**Alcander**: In another Luxiums...
**Alcander**: That's... where he died!
**Player**: !!
**Alcander**: We gotta secure the core of the lower area in advance!!
*Scene - Further in the fortress*
*A few moments later...*
**Player**: The lower area is still unbelievably large!!
**Alcander**: The core of the whole fortress is on the bottom floor...
**Alcander**: As long as it's destroyed, the fortress is done for.
**Alcander**: But it's guarded by the strongest force of the Shadows...
**Shadow Demon**: Intruders spotted!!
*A large humanoid spider and two shadow demons ambush Player and Alcander*
**Shadow Demon**: Weak human beings...
**Alcander**: Watch out, Player! These monsters are nothing like those mobs up there!
**Player**: I know. Their Shadow Flux is powerful!
*Alcander morphs into Lion King form*
**Alcander**: Burn into ashes!
**Shadow Demon**: Annihilate, in the vortex of Shadow...
*Alcander defeats the demons in a burst of flames*
**Player**: The enemies of the upper area are Shadowcult Swordsmen, Mages and Hierophants...
**Player**: And now there's Shadow Demons and Shadow Spider Queens...
**Alcander**: The lower we are, the tougher they are.
**Player**: Yeah, but... isn't it weird?
**Alcander**: Weird?
**Player**: Commander Markus said this is a Shadowbeast breeding center...
**Player**: It provides Shadowbeasts for the Shadows' strongholds in the south...
**Alcander**: Yep.
**Player**: So how come we didn't see any Shadowbeast all this way?
**Player**: But this is a Shadowbeast breeding center...
**Player**: The main force they have should be Shadowbeasts, right?
**Alcander**: !!
**Alcander**: Indeed... This is weird.
**Player**: Could it be our intelligence is wrong?
**Alcander**: No way. I've been investigating this place for a long time...
**Alcander**: In other Luxiums, this is undoubtedly a Shadowbeast breeding center.
**Alcander**: Besides, this place is heavily guarded...
**Alcander**: That means this place is vital for them!
**Player**: All right... but why don't they send the Shadowbeasts against us?
**Alcander**: The only reason I can think of is they have sent out the Shadowbeasts to other strongholds...
**Alcander**: So the fortress is quite empty now.
**Player**: Hmm... That's the only explanation...
**Alcander**: Perhaps they're planning something, but that doesn't matter...
**Alcander**: Our goal is to kill their boss and protect Commander Markus...
**Player**: That's true!
**Alcander**: Kyle, where are Oathblades now?
**Kyle**: Entering the lower area!
**Alcander**: Player, we don't have much time. Let's go!
**Alcander**: We'll put an end to this!
*Scene - Further in the fortress*
*A few moments later...*
**Fortress Archbishop**: Never thought you could even pass the elites in the lower area.
**Fortress Archbishop**: Dimension traveler Player, from Never Isle...
**Fortress Archbishop**: The Lion King and the Master of Fire, Alcander...
**Fortress Archbishop**: Welcome to my fortress.
**Fortress Archbishop**: I have to say, compared to other maggots...
**Fortress Archbishop**: You guys are good.
**Player**: You knew we were coming?
**Fortress Archbishop**: In the last few months, all the strongholds related to this fortress have been destroyed by Alcander...
**Fortress Archbishop**: Apparently, Alcander is after me.
**Alcander**: Oh? Looks like you're ready to meet your doom here.
**Fortress Archbishop**: Sorry but, the doom...
**Fortress Archbishop**: Is yours!
**Player**: Alcander, enough talking. Let's get him!
**Alcander**: Roar!!!
*Alcander attacks the archbishop with fire*
**Alcander**: Turn into ashes!
*The archbishop isn't affected*
**Fortress Archbishop**: That was good...
**Player**: !!!
**Alcander**: Tch...
**Fortress Archbishop**: I understand why my men couldn't stop you...
**Fortress Archbishop**: But still you're no match for me!!
*The archbishop attacks*
**Player**: Uh... So strong!
**Alcander**: Player, this guy is even stronger than I thought...
**Alcander**: The Flux core of the fortress is right behind him...
**Alcander**: Set the most powerful bomb on it while I take care of him!
**Alcander**: We win as long as it's destroyed!
**Player**: But I can't leave you alone...
**Alcander**: This is our only chance!!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: I see...
*Alcander and Player split up*
**Fortress Archbishop**: Aiming at the Flux core? You're cute!
**Alcander**: Your opponent is me!!
**Fortress Archbishop**: Annoying maggot!
**Alcander**: !!
*Alcander narrowly avoids an attack*
**Alcander**: Dammit...
**Fortress Archbishop**: Let me see how long you can hold!!
**Alcander**: Ahhhhh!!
*Alcander and the archbishop continue to fight while Player sets the bomb on the core*
**Alcander**: Huff, puff...
**Fortress Archbishop**: Maggot, you irritated me!
**Alcander**: !!!
*The archbishop traps Alcander*
**Alcander**: Arrrrrrgh!!!
**Player**: Alcander!!
**Fortress Archbishop**: Player, remove the bomb!
**Fortress Archbishop**: Otherwise I'll crush his head!
**Alcander**: Don't... Don't mind me...
**Player**: ...
**Kyle**: Player, Oathblades will be there soon!
**Kyle**: Try to buy some time!

**-Choice 1.2.1 - (Remove the bomb.)**

**Player**: All right! I'll do as you say!
**Player**: Just don't kill Alcander!
**Alcander**: Player, no...
**Fortress Archbishop**: Humph! Hurry up! Remove the bomb!
**Player**: Okay!
**Alcander**: Player, what are you doing!?
**Alcander**: Our effort is in vain if you do so!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: (Commander... hurry up!)
**Player**: ...
**Fortress Archbishop**: Hurry! Don't try any trick!
**Player**: It takes time to remove it! Otherwise it will blow up!
**Player**: You don't wanna blow up the Flux core, do you?
**Fortress Archbishop**: ...
*A few moments later...*
**Player**: All right! The bomb's removed! Release Alcander now...
**Fortress Archbishop**: Hah! Never thought you could be that stupid...
**Fortress Archbishop**: I'll kill him now, and you'll be the next!
**Miles**: Hey, monster!
*A shotgun goes off*
**Fortress Archbishop**: !!!
*Markus, Miles and the other Oathblades run in*
*Markus attacks the archbishop*
**Markus**: Player, Alcander, you all right?
**Alcander**: Commander... Watch...
*The archbishop traps Markus in an arcana prison*
**Alcander**: No!
**Fortress Archbishop**: Hahahaha!
**Fortress Archbishop**: Do you really think your trick's gonna work?
**Fortress Archbishop**: Die in my trap!
**Alcander**: No...
*Player runs up to Markus and the prison disappears*
**Fortress Archbishop**: What?
**Player**: Master Vundo's antagonist is always useful...
**Markus**: Hah! Thanks, Player!
**Markus**: Oathblades, kill the Shadows with me!!!
**Fortress Archbishop**: !!!
*The Oathblades defeat the Shadow forces and rescue Alcander*
**Markus**: Hey, you up?
**Alcander**: Commander?
**Markus**: Looks like you can do better with your divination...
**Player**: Alcander, we made it!
**Player**: Almost all the Shadows are dead!
**Player**: I'll detonate all the bombs as soon as we get outta here...
**Player**: And this place will be gone!
**Markus**: Without you, Oathblades wouldn't have captured this fortress so easily.
**Markus**: The soldiers are searching for the remnants...
**Markus**: This battle, will be the turning point of the war against the Shadows!
**Player**: Alcander, you made it...
**Player**: We changed the doom!
**???**: Really?
**Miles**: Who's talking?
**Oathblades Warrior**: There's no enemy around here!
**Alcander**: The voice is in our heads!
**???**: Everything you do is in vain!
**Alcander**: The Shadowlord!
**Player**: So this is the Shadowlord?
**Markus**: So you won't even show yourself, huh? Coward!
**Markus**: We destroyed your Shadowbeast breeding center!
**Markus**: The south of Luxium will be freed!
**Markus**: Victory belongs to Never Isle!
**???**: Indeed you destroyed my breeding center...
**???**: But I...
**???**: Will destroy your will!
**Alcander**: !!
*Explosions go off all around the group*
**Oathblades Captain**: Commander! Intelligence says the whole fortress is collapsing!!
**Oathblades Captain**: Shadowbeasts... A large group of Shadowbeasts have turned up!!
**Markus**: Inform everyone and retreat now!
**Markus**: This fortress is a trap!
**Markus**: Alcander, Player, let's go!
*Scene - Fade to black*
**???**: Try and run...
**???**: But the exit is long gone. You...
**???**: Have nowhere to go...
*Go to Part 3*

**-Choice 1.2.2 - (Detonate the bomb.)**

**Alcander**: Don't forget... why... we're here!
**Player**: ...
**Player**: ...
*Player defiantly faces the archbishop while he detonates the bomb*
**Shadow Priest**: How dare you...
**Shadow Priest**: Go to hell!
*Scene - Fade to black*
*...*
*(It shouldn't have ended this way...)*
*(Gotta try again!)*
*Scene ends*

**-Part 3**

*Lower floor of the upper area of the fortress...*
*Explosions go off*
**Markus**: Everyone, move!!
**Oathblades Warrior**: Sir, the Shadowbeasts are here!
**Markus**: How many of them?
**Oathblades Warrior**: I... I don't know!!
*Multiple Shadowbeast block the paths inside the fortress*
*...*
*...*
**Markus**: ...
**Markus**: I'll stay to stop them!
**Player**: What?!
**Miles**: I'll stay too!
**Markus**: I don't need help! Miles, lead them to retreat!
**Alcander**: No, sir! I'll stay to hold them!
**Markus**: NO WAY!!
**Markus**: You're leaving with the others!
**Alcander**: But you are the will of Oathblades, of Never Isle, of the Gyees' fight against fate!!
**Alcander**: You are what the Shadowlord wants!
**Markus**: That's why I gotta stay. I can buy us more time!
**Oathblades Warrior**: I volunteer to stay! Please retreat, sir!
**Oathblades Warrior**: Me too! Please retreat, sir!
**Markus**: Guys, it's an honor to be your brothers all these years!
**Markus**: The will of Gyees' fight is not me...
**Markus**: It's Oathblades!
**Markus**: As long as Oathblades remains, Gyees still have hope!
**Markus**: As long as you're alive, the will of Gyees never dies!
**Markus**: Miles, retreat with them and never come back!!
**Miles**: No! I can't...
**Markus**: Miles!
**Markus**: Never let Oathblades fall!!
**Miles**: !!
**Miles**: You gotta make it, old man!!
**Markus**: Of course!
**Miles**: Oathblades, attention! Retreat!!
**Alcander**: No!
**Miles**: This is Commander's order! Retreat!!
**Alcander**: No!!!!
**Player**: Alcander, let's go!
*A few moments later...*
*Markus faces the Shadowbeasts*
**Markus**: Bring it on, losers!!
**Shadowbeast**: Roar!!!
*Upper floor of the upper area of the fortress...*
**Alcander**: The exit is right ahead...
**Shadowbeast**: Roar!!!
**Player**: !!!
*Shadowbeasts block the exit*
**Player**: That's the only way out!
**Miles**: Damned Shadows!!
**Miles**: Guys, follow me!
**Miles**: For Commander!
*Alcander morphs into Lion King form*
**Alcander**: Oathblades never dies!
*A few moments later...*
*The group manage to defeat some of the Shadowbeasts but more still come*
**Shadowbeast**: Roar!
**Oathblades Warrior**: Miles! Shadowbeasts behind us!!
**Oathblades Warrior**: We're surrounded!
**Player**: Commander Markus...
**Miles**: Damn, we're surrounded...
**Miles**: Attention! Rear squad cover front squad, front squad charge!
**Miles**: Oathblades is not gonna die here!!
*If you decided not to tell Billy what happened earlier in the Oathblades camp OR you told Billy what happened but decided not to tell the Shadowhunters*
*A few moments later...*
*The Shadowbeasts have defeated everyone except for Miles*
**Miles**: Uh...
**Miles**: Old man... sorry...
*Miles falls*
*...*
**???**: My rage...
**???**: Will bring your end!
*(It shouldn't have ended this way...)*
*(Gotta try again!)*
*Scene ends*
*If you decided to tell Billy what happened earlier and also decided to tell the Shadowhunters*
*Go to Part 4*

**-Part 4**

*A few moments later...*
**Oathblades Warrior**: Miles, there are too many Shadowbeasts!
**Oathblades Warrior**: We can't hold them anymore!
**Miles**: Uh...
**Miles**: Guys, don't give up!
*Miles readies his shotgun and shoots but nothing comes out*
**Miles**: Uh! Out of ammo...
**Alcander**: So this is fate, huh...
**Miles**: It's not our fate. Oathblades is not gonna die here!
**Miles**: Alcander, man up! Beat up these Shadows with me!
**Alcander**: But...
**Player**: Don't you give up, Alcander!
**Alcander**: ...
*A few moments later...*
**Oathblades Warrior**: Miles, they broke our defense!
**Oathblades Warrior**: The vanguards are stopped! There are too many of them!
*Alcander morphs back to Half Beast form*
**Player**: Alcander?
**Alcander**: Player, Commander is dead...
**Alcander**: The main force of Oathblades is surrounded by Shadows...
**Alcander**: We didn't change anything...
**Alcander**: The end... is coming...
**Player**: Alcander! We're really done for if you give up! C'mon!!
**Alcander**: The end... destruction...
**Player**: (Morgan, Hachi, Bernard, you guys received my message, right? What's holding you...)
**Oathblades Warrior**: Damn it! F\*\*\* them! If I'm going to hell, you're all coming with me!
**Player**: (Are we really done for...)
*An explosion goes off*
**Miles**: Is that explosion, from the exit?
**Shadowbeast**: \*Whine\*...
*The Shadows at the exit were whining...*
*Bernard and Hachi arrive with bear guards and Bloodrunners*
**Bernard**: Warriors of Ursus! Kill the Shadows with me!!
**Hachi**: Bloodrunners! Tear them up!
**Shadowhunters**: Yes, sir!
**Player**: Yes! It's Captain Bernard and Captain Hachi!
**Miles**: Haha, guys! We've got help!
**Miles**: Get outta here! Don't stop!!
*Scene - Oathblades camp*
*At night, camp of Oathblades...*
**Miles**: How many casualties are there?
**Oathblades Captain**: We lost a quarter of us...
**Oathblades Captain**: Most of them died during the retreat.
**Miles**: Alas...
**Miles**: Tell them to take a break. We're going back to Never Isle.
**Oathblades Captain**: Yes, sir!
**Miles**: Captain Bernard, Captain Hachi, thank you so much...
**Miles**: Oathblades owes you a big one!
**Bernard**: You're welcome! The Shadows are our enemy!
**Hachi**: Hah, c'mon, we're brothers!
**Hachi**: By the way, Morgan...
*Scene - Oathblades camp, outskirts*
**Tiger**: Player, thank goodness you informed the Shadowhunters...
**Tiger**: You saved Alcander, and everyone.
**Tiger**: Thank you.
**Player**: It's okay... It's just...
**Player**: Commander...
**Alcander**: ...
**Tiger**: C'mon...
**Tiger**: You did everything you could...
**Alcander**: ...
**Player**: Alcander, we lost Markus...
**Player**: But the main force of Oathblades survived...
**Player**: We made it!
**Player**: As long as we're alive, we're not losing!
**Alcander**: ...
**Alcander**: Without the Commander, Oathblades will break up...
**Alcander**: The Shadows will win the final battle...
**Alcander**: This is... meaningless...
**Markus**: How come?
**Player**: Haha!
**Alcander**: !!!
*Markus and Morgan walk up to Player and Alcander*
**Alcander**: Commander...!?
**Markus**: Captain Morgan and the Shadowhunters got me out.
**Markus**: Looks like you can do better with your divination, Alcander.
**Alcander**: Great... Great...
*It seemed Alcander was going to cry...*
**Player**: Alcander...
**Alcander**: I just... got sand in my eyes...
**Alcander**: Captain Morgan, what are you doing here?
**Morgan**: Player sent us a message last night...
**Morgan**: So here we are!
**Alcander**: But your boss...
**Morgan**: They don't know anything about it.
**Morgan**: Don't worry, I'll just write some more reports!
**Morgan**: By the way, Alcander! How could you keep such a big deal from us!?
**Morgan**: That's not what a friend would do!
**Morgan**: I would have punched you if you weren't hurt!
**Alcander**: Uh, a punch from Captain Morgan...
**Player**: Hahaha!
*A few moments later...*
*Alcander and Player are alone*
**Alcander**: Sorry, Player...
**Alcander**: I shouldn't have broken down...
**Player**: Don't blame yourself...
**Player**: Even if you are the Lion King, you still have a warm heart.
**Player**: No one has ever gone through your desperation...
**Player**: So no one can do better than you!
**Alcander**: I know you're being nice...
**Alcander**: Thank you...
*Alcander looks over at Markus and the Oathblades*
**Alcander**: Player, I still can't believe it...
**Alcander**: Oathblades destroyed the fortress, and Commander Markus survived...
**Alcander**: It's you, you saved all of us!
**Alcander**: You changed our fate!
**Player**: No!
**Player**: It was you, Tiger, Kyle, me...
**Player**: Every warrior of Oathblades...
**Player**: And the Shadowhunters!
**Player**: It's the power of all of us...
**Player**: That changed our fate!
