"<span class="mu-s">Once more, I have found you surviving the anomalies of the astral realm, Halfling. The plant morph born from the occultists has served you well in remotely assisting you since your birth, as unlike my own predicament, your condition is still more than reversible."</span> His compliments come at the cost of an admission of his loss of humanity.
"Indeed, his strength will likely rival the strongest of apostles that walk this realm, should his fateful meeting with Sivir come to occur."
"I'm flattered. My only complaint is that I did not awake to these callings sooner. Perhaps I could have aided you at an earlier age."
"<span class="mu-s"> I have hardly accepted apprentices, Halfling. Your awakening came at the ripe age of your maturity. Should your full power be displayed at an earlier time, you would have brought unneeded attention to yourself, prematurely ending your life."</span> Skull Knight presents his hypothesis to counter yours, attempting to cease your guilt trip over yourself.
"I can't say I thought of my conditions in that form... Either way, what brings you here, Skull Knight? I did not know you were friends with Flora."
"While this valiant knight is mysterious to most, him and I come from a further period in time than you might expect. Our prime age predates even the hundred year war, or the God Hand members that came before it. Though even I am surprised that he would ask me to aid children such as yourselves."
<span class="mu-s">"None of you can afford to pass before encountering The Falcon. Which is why I have come to reinforce your safety measures, and ask her to empty her arsenal before her life ceases to be."</span>
"So you do have a heart afterall, I am glad to see this old friend of mine still helping me in my final days."
"Indeed. I recall seeing you in St. Albion. Were you the one who closed the portal?
<span class="mu-s">"Yes. Though The Silver Eyed could not use her vortex on a valiant opponent, she was partially responsible in sending The Wretched Priest straight into the Abyss. Causality shapeshifted him into a different form, yet he was still no match. It is unheard of a mage that maintains her conscience in that layer of the astral, a shame that what is left of her is a mere fusion of frets and undisclosed sufferings. No doubt a portal like that one would easily suck in an apostle such as Emperor Ganishka."</span>
"And I wasted it in a minor nuisance of a human such as Father Mozgus..." You lament, hoping to have used it in a better scenario.
