  1. Lady Tethys: Who are you?
  2. Dust: I am Dust, and this is Fidget. We came from Mudpot seeking the one they call "The Lady". Their springs have dried up, and I'm here to find out why.
  3. Lady Tethys: You would dare enter my domain and question me? Yes, the waters have stopped flowing. I as the one to stop them!
  4. Ahrah: Be careful Dust, I do not believe she is used to be spoken to so casually.
  5. Dust: I meant no disrespect...ah...
  6. Lady Tethys: I am Lady Tethys, and you will refer to me as such with the courtesy reserved for all-powerful beings of the realm.
  7. Fidget: OKay, Dust, maybe you should dial it back a bit? She's getting pretty ticked off.
  8. Dust: Lady Tethys, the Mudpots need your help. One of them is already close to death, but your healing waters could save his life.
  9. Lady Tethys: You, a surface-dweller, would dare to question my actions? WHo do you think you are, ordering me to release the waters of life?
  10. Dust: I would question the motives of any creature, deity or not, that would let their subjects perish without reason.
  11. Lady Tethys: I have felt the endless conflicts as my waters ebb and flow through your land, surface-dweller. I see this water satisfying the thirst of a creature much like yourself - a killer with a broken soul.
  12. Dust: A creature... like me? You mean-?
  13. Lady Tethys: He leads a great army across these lands, spilling innocent blood, and using my waters to give life to his campaign of hatred. I stopped the water so I could stop the violence.
  14. Dust: But you are punishing innocent and guilty alike! Youw own followers in Mudpot will die without that water!
  15. Lady Tethys: If their deaths are required to save this world, that is a sacrifice I am willing to make. You speak in petty terms - a person, a family, a village. Their deaths, as yours, are insignificant to the greater good.
  16. Ahrah: I sense a terrible danger, Dust! Prepare yourself!
  17. Dust: I have seen where your path ends, Lady Tethys, and I will not let you succumb to the same fate. Too many innocents have died already thanks to Gaius's campaign.
  18. Lady Tethys: So be it, surface-dweller! if you would raise your sword against me, then prepare to have your accursed soul ripped from your body and purged in these holy waters!

  22. Lady Tethys: What... what have you done?
  23. Fidget: Knocked some sense into you, I hope!
  24. Ahrah: I can feel the darkness slipping from her soul, Dust. We have done it - she is now safe.
  25. -Darkness?
  26. Dust: Are you alright, Lady Tethys? What is this darkness Ahrah speaks of?
  27. Lady Tethys: I saw what your General was doing, I could feel the souls of all the innocents he killed screaming for help, and I... I succumbed to that darkness - that desire for justice, no matter the cost.
  28. Ahrah: Justice must be tempered with mercy, Lady Tethys, otherwise it is nothing more than revenge.
  29. [b]Lady Tethys: I must apologize, Dust. I see now that you wield one of the Blades of Elysium.[/b] Had I noticed before, I would have treated you with more respect.
  30. Dust: Blades of Elysium?
  31. Ahrah: I will explain later. We have other, more pressing matters at hand.
  32. Dust: I know you feel like you were doing the right thing by holding back the waters, but Mudpot needs them now more than ever.
  33. Lady Tethys: Oh! The waters, yes! I only hope it is not too late...
  34. Ahrah: Indeed. Though your motives were noble, I fear it did little to stop General Gaius and his campaign on the surface.
  35. Lady Tethys: Already I can feel his army's footsteps... they travel north, into the mountains.
  36. Fidget: Then we've got to hurry! Ginger was on her way there, too!
  37. Lady Tethys: Before you go, perhaps I can repay you for freeing me of my madness. At the base of the northern mountains there is a grand estate. The baron of these lands is a man named Kane.
