Opening

(CG of Gradlon Lake)

Alear: It's hard to believe there was a mountain right here where this lake is.
Veyle: I sense a Fell Dragon shard here. Zephia was telling the truth. It is out there-very deep at the bottom of this lake.
Alear: She said the enchanted crystal would bring that whole submerged area into reach.
Veyle: But it will only last a few hours. So, once it happens, I'll lead us to the shard quickly.
Alear: Thank you.
Veyle: Ok. Here goes...

(Veyle uses the crystal. The screen shakes.)

Alear: It's starting! But...wait, what's happening?
Veyle: The mountain is rising! Or...or the lake is draining! Everyone, stay together.
Alear: No, it's not safe here...
Veyle: (Brother/Sister)!
Alear: Veyle!

Past Alear: I sense that you are looking and staring. You will not win that way. Or are you scared?
Alear: Yes, of course. I've been scared from the start of all of this. It's only natural. Scared of losing battles, of losing what's important to me, losing people I care about!
Past Alear: I will admit...I an jealous of you. You have my face, but you say the things you feel...out loud. I am not allowed to show fear. If I say I am afraid, I will be labeled a defect. I follow orders. I don't think. I am like the Corrupted. They are awful.
Alear: You really dislike the Corrupted too!
Past Alear: I hate them. They have killed many of my sisters and my brothers. If I lose to you, they will kill me. No... No, they will kill me, in time, no matter what.
Alear: ... But..you don't die. I'm proof of that.
Past Alear: What did you say? Never mind-let's finish it. Come at me, or I will come at you. This is like looking in a mirror. What I see... bothers me.

Past Alear: Veyle? Is that you?
Veyle: What?!
Past Alear: No... Veyle is younger than you are. Forget what I said.
Veyle: Are you...related to Veyle?
Past Alear: She is my youngest sibling and littlest sister. I had many sisters and many brothers. Most of them have been killed. In awful ways. Will father dispose of Veyle too? If I think about that, it makes me sad. I would like to stand by my sister. Always. An ally. A friend.
Veyle: She's that important to you.
Past Alear: You look too much like her. It bothers me. I'll defeat you now. Whoever you are, you are not my little sister.
Veyle: You're right. I'm not your little sister. Still, I'm glad I was here with you to...hear all of that. Thank you, (Brother/Sister).
