"You have returned."

"Child?"

## Conversations with Zagreus

```
Nyx: "Do not despair, child. Such setbacks are inevitable, and may be overcome with effort and with time. Though, tell me, has the goddess Athena thus been true to her word?"
Zagreus: "She has, Nyx. I'm grateful that you put us into contact, and explained to her the situation that I'm in. I know you took a considerable risk in reaching out."
Nyx: "It was the least that I could do. The Olympians shall make powerful allies. But, reveal to them no more than they already know. For all our sakes."
Zagreus: "I understand."
- *The first conversation with Nyx.*

```
Nyx: "Your father is not here, and you are back. Then, it can only mean one thing. Are you all right, my child?"
Zagreus: "Yes, I think so, Nyx. Returning here by Father's hand does put a special sting into it, though. So, any invaluable tips on how to vanquish him? Some hidden weaknesses only you know
about, something like that?"
Nyx: "You know his weaknesses better than anyone. Better even than he. It pains me to know that the conflict between you could not be settled in some other way. But if this is how it has to be...
destroy him for me, next time you fight up there. However long it takes. Would you do that?"
Zagreus: "I would. I will."
- *After dying to Hades at the surface.*

```

```
Zagreus: "Nyx, I've come to know the god of swiftness, Hermes, though... it seems to me he doesn't work directly with the others on Olympus. Do you know him well?"
Nyx: "Lord Hermes is a point of contact, yes. Among Olympians he works the closest with our operations here, and aids with shepherding the souls of the departed to our gates. Accept his help; for
he is faithful to our cause."
Zagreus: "I get it. Thank you, Nyx."
- *After meeting Hermes.*

```

```
Nyx: "Your father fell to you, as once his father fell to him. Although, you were substantially more merciful. I know it is a bitter victory, at best. Though, tell me... what transpired
subsequently, that you have returned? Did you locate your birthmother?"
Zagreus: "I did, I... she was there. She was... where you said she'd be. And, more than I imagined, but... I had so little time with her. I can't survive up there, for very long. Why didn't you
tell me I'd just die, no matter what?"
Nyx: "Oh, my child... I say this seldomly, but... I did not know. Or... I did not wish to believe... that the surface would have such an effect on you. But it seems you share your father's fate,
after all."
Zagreus: "My father's fate? But he is smugly waiting for me every single time I make it there, and seems quite healthy by then, all in all! Though... maybe the farther we get from this realm...
the worse we get. Because he cast his lot... inheriting the Underworld?"
Nyx: "So I now presume. You are bound to this realm by powers greater even than mine. Tell me something... if you knew that you could only see Persephone for but a moment's time... would you
still make the journey to her, there?"
Zagreus: "...Yes. Yes, I would. I had so many questions left for her!"
Nyx: "Then, go and ask them, child. Steady your resolve, and find her there, again. And use well what brief time you have with one another, whilst you can. As mortals do."
Zagreus: "As mortals do..."
- *After defeating Hades for the first time and meeting Persephone.*
