Snake

**Snake:** Humanssssss... What have you done?

**Lord Protector:** What are you talking about?

**Snake:** Now we mussssst leave the swampssss. Forever.

**Snake:** And someone is gonna pay for thissss!

...

**Lord Protector:** I sense something terrible there in the woods. Gotta investigate.Tribesman

**Tribesman:** Finally you're here, Mr. Lord Protector. Is it really necessary for your title to be that long?

**Lord Protector:** The Zhivado tribe... Where's your leader?

**Tribesman:** Our \*shaman\* is busy at the moment. And we are here to express no confidence in our current governor.

**Tribesman:** How shall we put it? Leave Pangea. Now.

**Lord Protector:** This is not going to happen.

...

**Lord Protector:** Tell me... Why are you here? What is going on?

**Tribesman:** Let me take you deeper in the woods. See it for yourself...

**Lord Protector:** Lead me there.Monster

**Lord Protector:** Unbelievable. An all-new species here, on Pangea... How come I never saw you?

**Monster:** Must. Eat. Flesh.

**Lord Protector:** You're not supposed to be here, are you? Tell me something about yourself.

**Monster:** Flesh. Protect. Me.

...

**Lord Protector:** Let's summarize this. A flesh-eating mind-controlling monster begins a murder spree. Kills a couple lizards.

**Lord Protector:** So lizards feel scared. They kill those tribesmen who wouldn't let them through.

**Lord Protector:** How did this happen? Where did you come from? Well, at least you look like a mantis.

**Lord Protector:** I must talk to the lizards. See if they know anything.Lizard

**Lord Protector:** I know what happened. Let's talk about this peacefully.

**Lizard:** Firsssssst, you take ussss to a ssssafer placccce...

**Lord Protector:** I can't right now. The Battle Chamber is actually full. You scared humans and they came to my place.

**Lizard:** Then we musssst kill those humansssss and let oursssselves in!

...

**Lizard:** You don't undersssstand. Thessse creaturessss kill usss, get our headsssss bitten off... It's a masssssacre.

**Lord Protector:** I know. But I'll deal with it. You just stay put.

**Lizard:** Ssssstay put? They're gonna murder ussss all!

**Lord Protector:** I said, stay put. Let me do my job.Rioter

**Rioter:** People of Pangea! We've been lied to! It is time to wake up!

**Rioter:** Things the Lord Protector promised to us... They're nothing! He can't \*protect\* us!

**Lord Protector:** Stop it. You need to go home. It's not safe here.

**Rioter:** Do you see it? He's telling us what to do! But we live in a democratic society, don't we?

**Rioter:** Let's show the oppressor what needs to be done!

...

**Lord Protector:** Like I said... Go home, people and I guarantee you safety.

**Rioter:** You have nothing to scare us with! We know the truth! You won't control us!

* Renegade
* Cultist
* Mutant
* Dissident
Mantis

**Mantis:** You. Human.Come closer.

**Lord Protector:** Is it me or are you getting smarter each minute? Why?

**Mantis:** No. Don't talk. Feed me.

...

**Lord Protector:** Something's not right, I can feel it. Let's take a sample of your tissue...

**Lord Protector:** At least, by doing so I'll be able to tell who or what are you.Renegade

**Renegade:** You know what, guysssss? I think thosssse tribe foolssss are right for oncccce.

**Renegade:** We can't tolerate ssssuch indifferencccce from the Lord Protector. Such... Dissssressspect.

**Lord Protector:** Okay, have it your way.

...

**Renegade:** Lizards are getting impatient with me. I understand that. I need to deal with that mantis problem as soon as possible.Cultist

**Lord Protector:** What is this? You've gathered an army against... Me?

**Cultist:** You can prevent this bloodshed. Just sign off and we'll arrange you to a nice prison cell with an ocean-view.

**Lord Protector:** I have no time for this. Get lost!

**Cultist:** Make us!

...

**Cultist:** Keep ignoring the problem, Lord Protector. Maybe if you close the eyes on your people...

**Cultist:** They will just disappear!

**Lord Protector:** What are you talking about?! I never ignore my people.

**Cultist:** Then I wish to know who you consider to be \*your\* people, Lord Protector.Mutant

**Lord Protector:** I've examined your tissue, mantis. You've got some sort of a biological mutation, which gave birth to such an exotic strain.

**Lord Protector:** In other words... You're a mutant. Not a species of your own.

**Mutant:** Wonderful job, Lord Protector. Let me offer you my congratulations...

**Mutant:** ...BY BITTING YOUR HEAD OFF!

...

**Lord Protector:** You grew smarter. I wonder why.

**Mutant:** Humans have specific brain waves. Each time I can consume one... I take the knowledge they had inside their little heads.

**Lord Protector:** But why? When an animal eats another animal, it doesn't become... Oh, now I get it.

**Lord Protector:** You were a human once, weren't you? And you're trying to... Return to this state by consuming humans.

**Mutant:** And lizards. They're yummy.

**Lord Protector:** Spare me from details. I'll return with an antidote.Dissident

**Lord Protector:** Great news, lizardfolk. When I finish my antidote, you'll be able to return back to swamps.

**Dissident:** I'm afraid our plan hasssss changed, Lord Protector.

**Dissident:** Now it's you who'sssss gonna live on swampssss!

...

**Dissident:** Ha ha ha. You got the wrong guy, Lord Protector.

**Lord Protector:** What do you mean?

**Dissident:** While you were busssssy with fighting againssssst me...

**Dissident:** My people ssssseized your Battle Chamber! Ha ha ha!
### Chapter 3

* Schemer
* Wylna
* Slyth
* Nor'Val
* Mantodae
Schemer

**Lord Protector:** I can't work on my antidote until I take back the Battle Chamber...

**Schemer:** Well, well, well. Did someone say "antidote"?

**Lord Protector:** Yeah. You know anything about it?

**Schemer:** No. What I \*do\* know is that the people of Pangea want your head. And so do I.

...

**Lord Protector:** All of a sudden, why now? Why are you trying to destroy me now?

**Lord Protector:** There's some connection between you and this plague... I can feel it.

**Schemer:** You're right, Lord Protector. It was us who gave a mutagen to one of your fine people...

**Schemer:** ...It took a few month but finally a new species appeared.

**Lord Protector:** So your plan was to completely destabilize the region... And then what? Take the throne for yourself?

**Schemer:** Why wouldn't we? You cared so little about our tribe, Lord Protector. So we decided to take everything from you.

**Lord Protector:** You're too late, guys. Haven't you heard? The Battle Chamber now belongs to the lizardfolk.

**Schemer:** Not for long... Wait till you see our leader!Wylna

**Lord Protector:** Here's the deal. Help me liberate the Battle Chamber and I'll make sure you'll return to your normal state.

**Wylna:** But I don't want to! I like being like this. I'm getting smarter each breakfast.

**Lord Protector:** This is insane. You're coming with me.

**Wylna:** No. You're coming with me. In my stomach!

...

**Wylna:** This... Hunger... It makes me do crazy things, Lord Protector. I can't come with you...

**Wylna:** But I can hold back... For a while. I hope you succeed in the Battle Chamber quest.

**Lord Protector:** Soon this nightmare will be over. You have my word.Slyth

**Lord Protector:** You are making a huge mistake, guys. You were fooled.

**Slyth:** Yessss. By you. You promisssssed ussss protection!

**Lord Protector:** And I told you this situation is temporary! You should've trusted me!

**Slyth:** Trussssst \*you\*? Never again!

...

**Slyth:** You're a joke, Lord Protector.

**Lord Protector:** Look. The tribesmen wanted to take the Battle Chamber for themselves. If I don't stop you right now, you'll all be dead by tomorrow.

**Slyth:** Oh yeah? Why are you sssso sssssure of that?

**Lord Protector:** Because they're planning an attack. And there's only one way out of this. Help me beat them... And you'll be able to get back to your swamps.

**Slyth:** ...Fine. But thissss issss not over. Ssssomeday we'll demand what'ssss rightfully ourssss.

**Lord Protector:** We'll discuss these things later. Come on, let's go!Nor'Val

**Nor'Val:** Finally. The Battle Chamber! And nobody is standing in our way!

**Lord Protector:** Are you sure of that? Think again.

**Nor'Val:** Lord Protector... Consider your ruling days to be over!

...

**Lord Protector:** You fought so desperately today... I fought you before but you've never been so fierce. There must be a reason.

**Nor'Val:** What do you think, fool? The mutant is onto us!

**Lord Protector:** Well, you started it. It only logical that you should suffer from the consequences.

**Nor'Val:** No... Wait. Let us in! I admit, the mutagen was a mistake! Please, help us!

**Lord Protector:** Why should I? I don't care about my people. Remember?

**Nor'Val:** You want us to beg? Okay, I'm begging you! Please!

**Lord Protector:** When this plague is over... Your tribe will be exiled from Pangea to the Lower Worlds. I don't want to see you here ever again.

**Nor'Val:** Okay, deal! Whatever you say!Mantodae

**Lord Protector:** I've got the antidote. Please, just stay still for a moment...

**Mantodae:** But I'm so... Hungry. I can't help it, Lord Protector!

**Lord Protector:** Well, then don't blame me, okay?

...

**Lord Protector:** The antidote is not working... I must have made a mistake in the formula.

**Mantodae:** I... I think it's too late to help me, Lord Protector. Can you promise me one thing?

**Lord Protector:** I... I think I do. What is it?

**Mantodae:** In the Enchanted Forest, there is a... An egg mass. An ootheca.

**Lord Protector:** So you're a... But... How is it possible? When you were a human, were you...

**Mantodae:** Yes... Please, take care of my children. The antidote you gave me, it cured me of this insatiable hunger.
