Dialogue

1st Visit

• The Queen: Come closer, Lightbearer.
• Ghost: It's done. The curse is broken.
• The Queen: [chuckle] It thinks itself so wise. We all played right into her hands - beginning with my beloved baby brother. There are those who are more dangerous dead than alive. And there are those who win when we believe they've lost. You enter the infinite, Lightbearer. This will all happen again, and again, and again. You bear witness to the fate of my people.
• Ghost: Then fight with us.
• The Queen: Oh, but I do. Petra Venj is my Wrath.

MARA SOV MATERIALIZES A CHEST IN FRONT OF THE GUARDIAN

• The Queen: A gift, in commemoration of your achievement. You may go.

2nd Visit

• The Queen: If it were up to me alone, I would have destroyed your Traveler when I had the chance. But there are too many who fear what might thrive without it, and not enough who fear the wars that it seeks out so deliberately. Too much of a good thing will make you sick. Balance can come down to a single grain of sand. My people were born of calamity. Who knows what will awaken when it collapses again. Maybe only then will you understand. You may go.

3rd Visit

• The Queen: If that's so, I accept their terms. Move the asset into position beyond the grave of the first fleet. And do remind them: I have shown more than enough patience.

THE EMISSARY OF THE NINE TRANSMATS AWAY.

• The Queen: It was a friend, once. A confidante. Now, it is a shell. Avoid falling into schemes of the Nine. Like the curse on my people, their games never end. All this, and we find ourselves at the whims of so many small minds. Leave now. My next audience does not find the presence of the Traveler's Chosen to be… respectful.

4th Visit

• The Queen: Tell me how my brother died.
• Ghost: He… died for you. Everything he did, he did to save you.
• The Queen: My brother was strong. Clever. Devoted. But… suggestible. I knew my plans put him at risk. I was not surprised to feel him die.
• Ghost: He killed our friend.
• The Queen: Yes. I'm sure you miss it. Were you satisfied by your vengeance? …I wasn't.

5th Visit

A PURPLE GHOST FLIES AROUND, SCANNING THE ENVIRONMENT. THE GHOST SPOTS A LARGE GAZEBO AND HEADS TOWARDS IT. IN THE CENTER OF THE GAZEBO LIES A BODY ON A PEDESTAL, COVERED BY A WHITE SHEET. THE GHOST APPROACHES THE BODY AND SCANS IT, THEN RESURRECTS THE BODY. THE RESURRECTED PERSON SITS UP, GASPING, AND IS REVEALED TO BE ULDREN SOV.

6th Visit

• The Queen: So, you know how to rule, do you? You understand the sacrifices I make? You speak of good queens and absent rulers, Little Light, so you must know these things. Tell me what I have done wrong. SPEAK! What should I do, when my every action is in service of a future that benefits YOU? You do not know me or the things I do. Do not dare to presume. You have not earned the right. Get out of my sight.

Final Visit

• The Queen: When there is too much Darkness in the universe, Light must cast it away. And when there is too much Light, Darkness must drown it out. This truth is our burden. This is what it is to be Awoken. I dreamt of a friend I will come to have. She will tell me: a side should always be taken. Even if it's the wrong side. I think I should like her. The next act is about to begin, and I do not know when I will return.

MARA SOV STANDS.

• The Queen: Fear nothing. Bow to no one. We will meet again. One day.
