Winds of Change/Quotes

## Event-Based

> **Madeline**D-Damn it... I can't do it... I just can't do it....**Shom**Lost the will to fight?**Madeline**None of this makes sense to me. Jacob adored you. You two got along so well...**Shom**Yeah, we did.**Madeline**And yet, you killed him... In an argument?**Shom**Doesn't make much sense, does it?**Madeline**So, what really happened? I don't understand...**Shom**Jacob and I loved each other, Madeline. My father found out. So he killed Jacob. That's it. That's the truth.**Madeline**So when he says that Jacob was killed because of you...**Shom**He's right, in only the most cold-hearted way. He couldn't stand a son who wouldn't bear an heir.**Madeline**I'm... I'm so sorry. All this time, I blamed you wrongly. I praised Lord Wester. I even called him a victim in this.**Shom**..........**Madeline**D-Damn that arrogant... he tricked me. Lord Wester only used me to kill you. He never gave a damn about my brother or anyone else in my family.**Shom**Yeah, sounds like him.**Madeline**This sword. It belonged to Jacob. He meant to use it to protect you. I want you to have it instead.**Shom**It would be wasted on me. I'm no skilled swordsman.**Madeline**Jacob had this blade enchanted with special protective magic. I believe he knew you might one day need it against your father. Lord Wester gave the sword to me so I could use it to kill you. I think it would be poetic justice if you used it against him instead.**Shom**Well. I do love adding some fun, dark irony in my life. I'll take the blade, but what about you, Madeline?**Madeline**I'll fight for you, as my brother did. I want to be your sworn retainer.**Shom**\You'll end up regretting it. I'm an awful person to be around.**Madeline**I doubt that. Jacob wouldn't have loved a callous man.

###  Drogon

With  Garam

> **Garam**Fire-Swallower Drogon! How odd to see you here.**Drogon**Garam of the Forest, you still draw breath? I heard you had left to walk with Lord Angvik.**Garam**No. I lost during a Hunt to a two-legs named Baudimon. He invoked the Right of Life. Unfortunately, he has passed. Now I am standing guard over his sow and unborn child.**Drogon**How tragic. You failed to protect your host. This is a matter most unfortunate, Garam.**Garam**Indeed. But let us not speak further of such tragedies. Why are you here? Have the two-legs of Wind hired you?**Drogon**That's right. Ever since that thief stole Angvik's Relic, I've taken on mercenary work.**Garam**I feel I must warn you, Drogon. Your two-legs are dishonorable. They fight for the one who killed my charge, Prince Baudimon. They backstabbed him in the same way a filthy Medusa would!**Drogon**Gah! How evil indeed! Snakes deserve death! I cannot fight for such vile forest-fellers! But they've already paid my men half their wages. It would be dishonorable to break our agreement.**Garam**I do not think Lord Angvik would choose gold over glory, brother. We must not sell our consciences to those unworthy of his divinity. Cast aside your contract, and I'll have the Lord of Lances reward you.**Drogon**I understand. Then I'll be troubling you, Garam. Let us fight for Angvik!**Garam**For Angvik!

###  Caroline

With  Jakka

> **Jakka**We meet again, Caroline.**Caroline**Indeed...**Jakka**Are you prepared to fight me this time?**Caroline**..............**Jakka**You're hesitant.**Caroline**I'm sorry, Jakka. I don't know if I can do this.**Jakka**Caroline, don't make the mistake of thinking I'm the man you once knew. Back then, I was young and foolish. I won't hesitate to kill you now.**Caroline**I can tell by your eyes. There is no weakness in them now.**Jakka**If that is the case, you'd better raise your shield, because I won't hold back.**Caroline**..............**Caroline**Go ahead...**Jakka**You... want me to kill you?**Caroline**It is no less than I deserve.**Jakka**I don't understand...**Caroline**For years, I've been played like a fool by Alexander. He isn't the man I thought him to be. He's a monster.**Jakka**Caroline, if you are speaking the truth. Then don't throw away your life here. Join us, and help us fight against him.**Caroline**I could never turn my sword on Alex. The Divines would surely punish me. He is my husband, I swore to stay by his side and protect him from harm.**Jakka**And where is Alexander now? I don't see him here.**Caroline**He left... the battlefield.**Jakka**So... He left his own wife to die. Who do you think the Divines will see fit to punish here, Caroline?**Caroline**..............**Caroline**[OpenEyes]Very well. I concede to you. You may take me captive.**Jakka**Then as my captive, I order you to fight. Not against Alexander, but his minions. I won't force you to draw your own sword against him, I just need your help here.
> Join us and fight against King Mortimer.**Caroline**Alright. If you will have my sword, then I will serve at your side.**Jakka**I'm glad we don't have to fight each other, Caroline.**Caroline**Yes. Me too.

## Battle

###  Ada

vs Any

You think you can stand up to the Windlance Skytreaders? Your story ends here, and my tale of glory shall begin.
vs  Shom

> **Ada**You've finally returned. Welcome home, cousin.**Shom**Is that a dagger behind your back, like always? Or are you just happy to see me, Ada?**Ada**I enjoyed a good career while you were out murdering people. And now you've come back to destroy your House, as well. You're every bit the monster I imagined, little Shommy.**Shom**I never did like your stuck-up attitude. Go to hell, Ada.

vs  Shay

> **Ada**Ah, Shay. You appear to be fighting for the Rebels. What a shame. Seems I'll have to kill you and Shom both.**Shay**Ada. Vicious as always.**Ada**I was so glad to hear you had run away, Lady Shay. It meant you wouldn't ruin my Corps's reputation. You were always a bumbling bag of babbling nonsense. Did you know? I was being pressured to let you in. Now I can kill two birdies with a single stone. I mean that literally, of course.**Shay**I don't know why you hate me. I never did anything to you.**Ada**You exist, and you're annoying. That's enough. Please be a dear and fall on this lance for me.

###  Anila

vs Any

I have to fight you. That's what Ada told me to do. Anilla always does as she's told! I think. Probably.
vs  Shom

> **Anila**Huh? Is that you, Shom? You look haggard.**Shom**Anilla. They let you run a Skytreader Corps?**Anila**Uhh... I guess so. I just do whatever Ada tells me. I'm not good at the whole management thing.**Shom**What a surprise. Are you here to kill me, then?**Anila**I guess. I think that's what Ada said to do. I don't remember...**Shom**...I feel so uncomfortable at the thought of killing you.**Anila**Oh. Don't sweat it. We're, uh, what's the word?**Shom**Enemies?**Anila**Yeah. I think that was it. Maybe... hmm... not sure... Should I ask Ada? I should ask her if that's the word.**Shom**I'll just... put you out of your misery, cousin. But I won't enjoy doing it.

vs  Shay

> **Anila**Hi, Shay.**Shay**Hi, Anilla...**Anila**Are you here to play games? o, wait... weapon... You have a weapon. That means we fight now.**Shay**Uhm, have you been... doing... alright... recently?**Anila**...Huh? What did you say? I blanked out a little. Are we gonna fight now?**Shay**Technically, we don't HAVE to fight. You can just let me walk past you!**Anila**No... I think Ada said... uh, she said... what was it? Right. I have to kill you. That's what Ada said. And Ada's the boss, so I gotta do what she says.**Shay**I'm... sorry, Anilla. You're too pure for this world.

###  Alicia

vs Any

Bippity boppity-BOO. I'm gonna kill youuu! Tee-hee!
vs  Shom

> **Alicia**Eeeee!! It's cousin Shommy! Look at your baggy eyes! You look like you haven't slept in years, Shommy!**Shom**...Alicia. I can't believe you became a Skytreader.**Alicia**I KNOW, right?! They must've let me in 'cause I'm so cute!! Oh, Shommy, I missed you sooo much, I dreamed about you! Now you've returned to whisk this cutie off her feet!**Shom**I... no. You're barking up the wrong tree, Alicia.**Alicia**I don't blame you for killing that annoying Jacob guy! He was always hanging around, getting in our way! But now we can be together! I won't say a word when you finally kill Lord Wester!**Shom**..............**Alicia**Ehh.......... Shommy-baby? Are you... mad at me?**Shom**You've never understood me. You're an annoying brat. And I WON'T tolerate even a single insult toward Jacob!

vs  Shay

> **Alicia**Oh looky, it's Horseface! You're as ugly as ever. I heard you joined up with a bunch of stinking rebels. Haha, you're so pathetic! You smell like a dog, too!**Shay**Alicia, I almost forgot what a pain in the Pegasus you are.**Alicia**Tee-hee, forget you! Where's Shommy-wommy? Is he here?!**Shay**Still pursuing Shom? It won't work out, Alicia. You're... not his type.**Alicia**As if you'd know! Boys go gaga over cuties like me! Only blind boys chase a Horseface like youuuu!**Shay**Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Shom will NEVER like you. Or any woman, for that matter. You're embarrassing yourself.**Alicia**Huh? What are you implying? You think he likes boys? No way! Uncle Wester would beat him black and blue!**Shay**Exactly. Father wouldn't approve of such a thing.**Alicia**Yeah! So he... he'd... He wouldn't...**Shay**...**Alicia**N-no! I don't believe you! Shommy-baby killed Jacob!**Shay**He didn't.**Alicia**Aaaooo! Horseface is a liar! I'll find Shommy myself! Then I'll get to the bottom of this nonsense!**Shay**You just can't take no for an answer, can you?

###  Madeline

vs  Shom

> [During 1st combat]**Shom**...Madeline?**Madeline**No words out of you, Shom. I have come for your head!**Shom**Yeah... I figured as much...**Madeline**Once I kill you, I will finally have justice for my brother!**Shom**Justice... for Jacob? Hah... what a sick joke...**Madeline**You dare to mock me!? Damn you, Shom!

> [During 2nd combat]**Shom**Did you ever ask yourself why I was never put on trial? For Jacob's murder, that is.**Madeline**You ran away to Baudimon to escape justice. Your father told me so.**Shom**I was running away from HIM. You damned idiot.**Madeline**Why would you run if you were not guilty?**Shom**Because my own bastard of a father KILLED Jacob. And I feared I would be next.**Madeline**Spare me your lies, Shom. Why would he do that? It makes no sense!**Shom**Why would I kill my own retainer and best friend? Does that make sense?**Madeline**Gah. Shut your mouth. Why are we still talking?**Shom**Maybe because I am starting to make sense?**Madeline**Damn you. Shut up and die already, you bastard!

vs  Shay

> **Shay**Madeline!**Madeline**Shay? You damn traitor.**Shay**Please, Madeline. Can we talk?**Madeline**Get out of my way. I'm not here for you!**Shom**Madeline, please listen to me! Shom didn't kill-**Madeline**I don't want to hear your excuses! I'm here for Shom! Either get out of my way, or die along with him!**Shay**Madeline, no!!

###  William

vs  Shom

> **William**I knew you would show up sooner or later.**Shom**Will, please don't. Just step aside...**William**Do you have any idea of how much pain you caused father? Stop fighting your family. Lay down your tome!**Shom**Will, you are everything our father ever wanted in an heir. The model son, obedient, polite, smart and full of potential. You are too pure for this world. And way too good for him... But you'll be a far better Lord of House Windlance than me.**William**Stop speaking nonsense, Shom. There is still a chance for you. Come quietly and I will try to talk some sense into father.**Shom**Hah... Talk sense to father... Oh, my naive little brother. You and Shay both... so stupid...**William**We just want to help you. Why can't you see that?**Shom**Because you don't see our father the way I do... You never will...**William**He is the only father we will ever have. Don't discard him so easily.**Shom**He discarded me like I was a broken piece of furniture. Threw me out like I was trash. After he MURDERED Jacob. I will NEVER forgive him!**William**You would blame father for the death of Jacob as well? Have you no shame?**Shom**I didn't kill Jacob. I loved Jacob more than life itself. I love you too, Will. But this situation is hopeless. Father's grip over you is far too strong at this point. Words are meaningless now.**William**No, wait. It's NOT too late! We can still resolve this! Shom, STOP!

vs  Shay

> **William**Shay, you're still alive! I was so worried.**Shay**It's good to see you too.**William**Have you come to see father? I can take you to him.**Shay**I'm afraid not...**William**Wait a minute... Shay... Are you here to fight me?**Shom**I cannot remain silent while brother Shom suffers, Will. He didn't kill Jacob. It was our father who did. I've come for justice to be meted out on Shom's behalf. If you step aside, I'll make sure Jakka treats you fairly.**William**I... I can't do that, Shay. I have to protect Windlance.**Shay**I hoped you would see the light, brother... but... The universe is so cruel. Goodbye, Will... I love you.**William**I... love you too... Shay.

vs  Madeline

> **William**Madeline? What are you doing back at the castle?**Madeline**.............**William**Oh I see, you have joined the invaders...**Madeline**I am now the retainer of your older brother. Shom told me he didn't kill my brother. I believe he isn't lying!**William**So Shom talked you into switching sides as well... Shom's devil tongue won't work its magic on me. For what it's worth, I think you were a good friend.**Madeline**I'll clear Shom's name, even if it means killing you!

###  Wester

vs Any

You are about to face the wrath of a Wind Lord! I will tear you to pieces!
vs  Jakka

> **Wester**Jakka... To think someone like you would be capable of this...**Jakka**I've come to kill Mortimer, and you're barring my way. If you abandoned his side, I might have let you live.**Wester**No you wouldn't. My child would make sure of that. Shom would go to any length to cut my life short.**Jakka**I'm not here to kill you because of your son. I'm here because I want my country to prosper! I won't let that monster Mortimer hold the throne.**Wester**You may disagree with his methods, but he is the King. Who are you to depose him? Some lowborn sellsword?**Jakka**I might be a lowborn, but Aylanda is a Lightbringer. I'll give my life to ensure she takes Andaron's throne!**Wester**The Lightbringers deserved to disappear from memory. You're merely a traitor to your homeland. Now perish.**Jakka**You go first, Lord Wester.

vs  Shom

> **Wester**So you have returned at last. I always knew you'd be back...**Shom**Any last words, father?**Wester**Shom... out of all my children, you are my greatest failure. My shame knows no bounds. If only Isolde was here now...**Shom**Spare me your stupid lectures. I've heard them so many times. You can't guilt yourself out of this, father. It's payback time!**Wester**What son would try to murder his own flesh and blood?**Shom**What sort of father blames his own son for a murder!? A murder he did not commit. Of an innocent man no less!**Wester**You know damn well Jacob was NOT innocent, Shom! He beguiled you into a life of sin, lust and suffering! Just look at the shell of a man he left behind in his wake. You are but a husk devoid of any meaning, purpose or joy. THIS is what sin does to you. If only you'd listen to me...**Shom**WHY did you tell everyone I was the one who killed Jacob?**Wester**What was I supposed to say? Our reputation was at stake. I will never sully the name of House Windlance, never! I had to clean up your mess. You brought this on us all.**Shom**I used to be so scared of you. I trembled in your presence. I feared your scornful gaze. I was terrified of your wrath. Yet when I look upon you now, all I feel is pure disgust... You took away the only thing that ever made me happy. So now I will take away what you care about, your legacy. After you're gone I will burn Castle Malikor to ashes.**Wester**You worthless little parasite! YOU ARE NO SON OF MINE!**Shom**I am your son and heir, and I will be the man who kills you. Burn in HELL, you monster!

vs  Shay

> **Wester**Shay, I was so worried... You've finally come home!**Shay**Not quite, father. I'm here to seek justice for Shom.**Wester**What? So you did side with that filthy heathen, Shom! I can't believe you allowed him to trick you, Shay. Every word he speaks is a demonic lie!**Shay**...I haven't even told you what Shom said, father. How do you know he told me lies?**Wester**Err, I...**Shay**Jacob and Shom loved each other, so you killed Jacob. That's what Shom told me. Was he lying, father?**Wester**I- of course he lied! How could you think otherwise?**Shay**If they did love one another, would you have approved?**Wester**.........**Shay**That's what I thought. I'm sorry, father. I love you.**Wester**Shay, you wouldn't... strike... at your own father...?**Shay**I can no longer sit silently while you commit atrocities. When you see mama again, tell her... I miss her...

vs  Madeline

> **Wester**Madeline, you've returned. Did you kill Shom already?**Madeline**I can't believe I fell for your lies, Wester! I thought you were a victim, like me. But no, you're the one who killed my brother!**Wester**You must have spoken to Shom. Such nonsense. Can't you see? Shom is lying to you, Madeline! He'll say anything to escape his fate!**Madeline**I promised you I'd kill my brother's murderer. Well it turns out it was you all along! WHY did Jacob have to die?**Wester**...Fine. I'll admit it. You want to know the truth? Disgusting debauchery. I couldn't tolerate such vile acts in MY House!**Madeline**You... you really did...?**Wester**Man and wife! That is what the Divines intended! Not unclean acts bestowed by those evil demons! Your brother was a sinner, and his sister must be too!**Madeline**You villain. You killed my brother over nothing.**Wester**I don't need to explain myself to a lowborn brat like you. This Noble will finally rid his House of its sinful ways!**Madeline**In Jacob's name, I curse you to a death without glory! May your soul never enter the Great Beyond!

vs  Kurt

> **Kurt**Wester. You've grown old.**Wester**What! That disrespectful tone of voice... Wilbert? I thought your children burned you in a fire.**Kurt**You're not the only one who thought as much. Though, let's not cast stones in glass houses. I hear your children are about as loving as mine.**Wester**Hmph. Shom and Shay. Little ungrateful traitors. My boy William has become a fine heir to Windlance!**Kurt**I find that hard to believe. Anyone you praise is a snake. You serve a usurper king, a man I aim to put to rest. Trust me, I've become adept at cleaning up vermin.**Wester**We used to be friends. It's a shame I have to kill you now.**Kurt**Even if I die, others will take up that good fight. Farewell, Lord Wester. Join my boys in the Great Beyond.

vs  Albert

> **Wester**You... you! Lord Alasdair of House Lightbringer! How has the Sword God survived to this day?!**Albert**Through cowardice, if you can believe such a thing. I hid away from the eyes of my enemies for a decade. Now I've come to right my past wrongs, for Aylanda.**Wester**Your brother was a weak king. He allowed innocents to die. There is no Divine who would forgive your House of Sin.**Albert**Act not as if you care about innocent lives, Lord Wester. From what I've heard, you treated Shom quite cruelly. You even foisted a lie upon his heart to save yourself. If I am a sinner, what does that make a bastard like you?**Wester**Hmph. You've a vicious tongue, Alasdair, but that matters not. Did you know? I've become quite adept... at killing your kind.**Albert**My kind?**Wester**That's right. Lightbringers. I've killed thousands of you. Now, I can cement my legacy by slaying the Sword God too. Andaron will laud my House for such an accomplishment!**Albert**...I heard rumors you joined the Hunting Parties. You, Samuel, and others of his ilk. All bastards. You shouldn't have admitted your sins to me, Wester. Now I won't hold back.**Wester**I don't fear a weak old man. I'll kill you like the rest. Join your brother in the darkest pits of Hell!
