 * Nyx: *sigh* It's not here either. I was sure I'd find it here...
 * Avatar: What's wrong, Nyx? You look upset.
 * Nyx: Avatar... It's not important.
 * Avatar: It looks important enough to you. If there's anyway I can help, just tell me.
 * Nyx: That's very kind of you. But if you really want to help, you can mind your business and stay out of my problems.
 * Avatar: Ah, er... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry.
 * Nyx: No harm done. You're young enough that I expect you can't help it.
 * Avatar: Me? Young? Unless I miss my guess, I'm clearly older than you.
 * Nyx: Are you through speaking?
 * Avatar: Y-yes...
 * Nyx: ...Perhaps I was too harsh. I know your intentions were good. But when a LADY has a secret to keep, don't go digging for answers. Be mindful of that in the future.
 * Avatar: Uh... understood.
 * Nyx: Good. Now go.

 * Nyx: Nothing! How does this volume not contain what I'm looking for...?
 * Avatar: What ARE you looking for, exactly?
 * Nyx: Avatar... didn't I tell you not to pry into a lady's secrets?
 * Avatar: Yes, I remember something like that. But you can't expect me to turn a blind eye to a friend in need.
 * Nyx: A friend, hm?
 * Avatar: If you still insist that I leave, then I will.
 * Nyx: Hmhm... Ah, to be young again.
 * Avatar: What?
 * Nyx: Since you insist, I'll tell you. I'm looking for an artifact mirror. It's an ancient, sacred treasure, imbued with the power of the gods. It's rumored to reflect only the truth. And that's all I'll say about it.
 * Avatar: See, that wasn't so hard. You'll be the first to know if I come across any mystic-looking mirrors. On a different subject, though...
 * Nyx: Yes?
 * Avatar: You keep implying that I'm younger than you. But you seem to still be in your adolescence, at most.
 * Nyx: ...
 * Nyx: So you don't know.
 * Avatar: Know what?
 * Nyx: *sigh* I suppose you're bound to find out sooner or later. I may look young, but in truth, I'm much older than you.
 * Avatar: What?
 * Nyx: As a result of a serious error I made in my youth, I'm stuck in this form. I haven't physically aged in may years, but mentally, I'm quite old. If only I could see my true form...
 * Avatar: Oh, I see now.
 * Nyx: Yes. That's why I seek the artifact mirror. It alone can show me what I'm meant to look like at this age. Now you understand?
 * Avatar: Y-yes, that explains a lot. Thank you for sharing, Nyx.

 * Nyx: Nayah hortek tumlah turlah escheh... Haa!
 * Avatar: Nyx! What is this?! Are you casting a spell on yourself?!
 * Nyx: There's no harm in it. Try as I might, I can't find the artifact mirror. So I thought I'd try to break the curse directly.
 * Avatar: The curse?
 * Nyx: Yes. Do you remember how I told you that I stopped aging physically long ago? It is because I was cursed.
 * Avatar: I see. How did this happen?
 * Nyx: I showed a gift for magic at a young age. I was known by many as a prodigy. Such was my downfall. I became carried away in my inexperience and lost control of my magic. It backfired, and I have been stuck in this form since.
 * Avatar: I never knew of this...
 * Nyx: But while my body stopped changing, my mind and soul grew older. I was no longer seen as a prodigy but as a monster. And I don't blame those who saw me that way. That's what I am.
 * Avatar: No, you aren't! I've never thought of you that way.
 * Nyx: Indeed?
 * Avatar: Not once! If I thought you were a monster, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
 * Nyx: ...I suppose not.
 * Avatar: You're an important member of our force. And you've only become more so as I get to know you better.
 * Nyx: Avatar, I...
 * Avatar: I'm glad you opened up to me. I'm thrilled to finally get to know you better. I've been searching for that artifact mirror, too, but... Details have been hard to come by. Still, I'll keep trying!
 * Nyx: Thank you. But even if you don't find the mirror, I think I'll be all right. It's enough to know someone cares sufficiently that they'd make the effort.
 * Avatar: That's true... But even so, it would be better to find it, wouldn't you say? I won't give up. Just give me some time and have faith.
 * Nyx: Very well. I'll keep my expectations low, but who knows? You're so young...so ambitious, and so fearless. Though I am your elder, who's to say you're not the more mature of us?

S Support

 * Nyx: What is it, Avatar?
 * Avatar: Nyx... Could you look into this mirror for me?
 * Nyx: Are—are you saying you've found it?! L-let me see at once! ...This isn't it. This is not the artifact mirror I wanted.
 * Avatar: No, it isn't. It's a different one.
 * Nyx: What?
 * Avatar: This artifact mirror is said to have an interesting property. If it reflects the image of the one you intend to propose to, you'll get your wish.
 * Nyx: I don't understand.
 * Avatar: Then I'll make it clearer for you. Nyx, will you marry me?
 * Nyx: ... Unbelievable. Why would you toy with me like that?
 * Avatar: I'm not toying with you. It was a serious question.
 * Nyx: Indeed? That makes it even worse. I can never be married. Don't you understand? I'll be young forever. You'll grow old, and the wife walking beside you will be a young girl. People will talk. And they won't be saying nice things.
 * Avatar: I don't care how others see us. Not when I can see your true form.
 * Nyx: Come again?
 * Avatar: Well...maybe "see" isn't the right word. But I have a clear picture in my head of the older, more mature you. She's about shoulder height to me. A bit thin, just shy of gaunt. With long hair that drapes mysteriously over her childlike face...
 * Nyx: Avatar...
 * Avatar: In my mind, she has these charming crow's feet beneath her eyes when she laughs.
 * Nyx: That's enough about my wrinkles, please.
 * Avatar: Y-yes, well... If you want to see your true form, ask me and I'll describe her. I'll be your own artifact mirror.
 * Nyx: Hmhm. I wasn't expecting the artifact to be so big...or so talkative. But it works for me. Thank you, Avatar. I've never met anyone so invested in me as you. I feel like I could grow old with you... or the next best thing, anyway.
 * Avatar: So you'll marry me?
 * Nyx: Yes. If you'll have me, that is.
 * Avatar: I will. It's you I'm worried about—whether you'll still want me when I'm old and gray.
 * Nyx: Hmhm. I don't doubt that I will. You and I will stay happily together...forever.


 * Nyx: Somehow you always saw who I really was behind my veil of darkness... I had forgotten what love felt like. But this is it...this is love. Thank you.

 * Kaze: Ah, Nyx. Reading beneath your favorite tree again, I see. That looks pleasant.
 * Nyx: Hello, Kaze. Don't feel like you have to greet me out of courtesy.
 * Kaze: Hm? What do you mean?
 * Nyx: I mean that if you don't need anything, do not speak to me.
 * Kaze: Ah, I see. A pity. I thought it would be nice if we got to know each other better.
 * Nyx: I see. I do not agree. Will that be all?
 * Kaze: You must be so lonely, spending all your time out here, away from everyone. It pains me to think you have no one to talk to or share your life with.
 * Nyx: What?
 * Kaze: Is there truly nothing I can say to change your mind? Will you not open your heart to me? I promise, you will not regret it.
 * Nyx: H-hey! Now hold it right there!
 * Kaze: Hm? What's wrong?
 * Nyx: What's with those romance-novel cliches? Have you no shame? Is this what all young people are like these days?
 * Kaze: Romance novels? I have never read such material. What are they like?
 * Nyx: Wh-why are you asking me this?
 * Kaze: You mentioned them. It stands to reason that you know something of them.
 * Nyx: I-I do not read them either!
 * Kaze: Surely you must, if you know enough to compare me to it. Please, tell me--what are these books like? They must be rich in wonders to have enticed one such as yourself.
 * Nyx: N-no! I have no intentions of speaking to you about such nonsense. Good day!
 * Kaze: Hm. I suppose there will always be next time.

B Support

 * Kaze: Good afternoon, Nyx. Are you reading again today?
 * Nyx: Yes. Go away. I cannot concentrate with other people around me.
 * Kaze: I see. If it pleases you. I will depart. But before I leave, could you please tell me more about these romance novels of yours?
 * Nyx: They are not "my" romance novels. And why are you so interested?
 * Kaze: You seemed troubled by my words. I want to know why that is.
 * Nyx: Then I suppose you will just have to continue wanting. Besides, I would be mortified if you saw the things I read...
 * Kaze: Pardon?
 * Nyx: N-nothing! In any case, I don't have anything further to say on this topic.
 * Kaze: Very well...
 * Nyx: Don't look so dismayed. It's really nothing to be concerned over.
 * Kaze: My apologies. I do not mean to look so grim. I am just disappointed.
 * Nyx: *sigh* Perhaps you would enjoy some other books. Ones better suited to you.
 * Kaze: Better suited to me?
 * Nyx: Yes. Like this one, for example.
 * Kaze: Is this...?
 * Nyx: Yes. It's a book on Nohrian military tactics. So it may be of special interest to a Hoshidan operative like yourself.
 * Kaze: You picked this out just for me?
 * Nyx: Yes. I figured you would be along to pester me again today,
 * Kaze: Thank you. I will start reading it right away.
 * Nyx: No need to thank---Wait! Why are you sitting? When did we start reading books together?! Can't you go back to your own tent and read it there?
 * Kaze: No. This is your book, and I might lose it if I took it home with me.
 * Nyx: Ugh. Why have the gods cursed this child upon me?

 * Kaze: Hello, Nyx. I wanted to thank you again for lending me that book the other day. It proved to be extremely informative.
 * Nyx: Don't mention it.
 * Kaze: Are you reading a different book today? You must have a mountain of them.
 * Nyx: Yes. Spells and books are all I have. I'm always collecting more of both.
 * Kaze: Hm. Perhaps you would be willing to begin lending your books to others in the camp then?
 * Nyx: Lend others my books? Why?
 * Kaze: So everyone could benefit from your vast library. I, of course, volunteer to intermediate between you and them. That way, you can keep your distance and yet still interact with everyone.
 * Nyx: And why would I want to do that?
 * Kaze: Sometimes when I see you reading here, you look so lonely. I think you secretly do crave the friendship of others.
 * Nyx: You really believe that, don't you? Fine, fine I will consider it.
 * Kaze: You will? Wonderful. I'm certain you won't regret it.
 * Nyx: I said I would consider it. Nothing has been decided yet.
 * Kaze: Very well. Please understand, this means you will have to share your romance novels.
 * Nyx: Huh?!
 * Kaze: I hear that they are quite popular among women. Everyone will want to read them. I think they will be a hit. I can't wait to tell everyone the good news.
 * Nyx: You still haven't forgotten about those?! No! You can't tell anyone about them!
 * Kaze: But I wouldn't want to deprive the ladies in camp of such pleasure...Although if I were allowed to read them myself, my opinion might be altered...
 * Nyx: Are you blackmailing me, Kaze?

 * Kaze: Hello, Nyx. I've come to borrow another book. May I?
 * Nyx: Are you trying to read every book I own? That's three this week...
 * Kaze: I am. But I also relish the chance to share these few moments with you every day.
 * Nyx: How can you say things like that? Have you no shame? Never mind. What book would you like to borrow today?
 * Kaze: Today I would like to borrow a romance novel.
 * Nyx: I told you, those are off limits. I didn't let you have any after you blackmailed me: why would I now?
 * Kaze: Please. I beseech you. I believe they will help me figure out how to articulate my feelings to you.
 * Nyx: Huh?
 * Kaze: I love you, Nyx. And I want to know how to tell you properly. Those novels may be the only way I can learn.
 * Nyx: You fool. Isn't that what you're doing right now?
 * Kaze: Ah. So I am.
 * Nyx: You truly are a strange one, Kaze.
 * Kaze: I may be strange, but my love for you is pure, Nyx. I swear it. I cannot bear to see you sitting here alone again for a single day more. Not when your eyes are filled with such grief and sadness. I want you to be happy, to smile and to laugh with abandon. And I want to be the one to help you achieve those things...
 * Nyx: Hm...I suppose that is...acceptable.
 * Kaze: Truly?
 * Nyx: Yes. I hate to admit it, but I find you quite charming. You are like a puppy dog.
 * Kaze: Thank you, Nyx. I swear I shall do all I can to be the perfect man for you.
 * Nyx: Yes, yes. Now be a good puppy and fetch us our stories, love.

 * Nyx: ...Mozu. Did you come here purely to stare at me?
 * Mozu: Eep! You noticed... I didn't want to bother you while you were into your book there.
 * Nyx: I could feel your gaze boring holes into me. If you need something, ask.
 * Mozu: U-um... Well. I... I really admire you!
 * Nyx: What?
 * Mozu: I mean, you're always reading those thick, heavy books. They look serious. I wouldn't have thought someone so young as you would read those old things!
 * Nyx: ...
 * Mozu: Point is, I think it's amazing the way you can manage it.
 * Nyx: I've become a bibliophile over the years, it's sothing special, really.
 * Mozu: Oh, but it is! Especially for a girl from the sticks like me. Hey, could you teach me how to read those kinds of books? Really dig deep into them?
 * Nyx: Why are you asking me? It's your interest.
 * Mozu: Oh...you don't want to be around me, huh. Ouch...
 * Nyx: *sigh* Very well, then. I'll grant you access to my library. I can't have you mooning around camp.
 * Mozu: Really?!
 * Nyx: Yes. There's no particular trick to studying or reading, but... Like all things, if you do it regularly, it will come easier to you.
 * Mozu: Yaaay! I can't believe it! I get to read nyx's books!
 * Nyx: Do so quietly, or the offer is rescinded.
 * Mozu: Oh, um, sorry!
 * Nyx: You may choose any book from the shelves to study as you wish.
 * Mozu: Got it! Thanks a heap, Nyx!

 * Nyx: Prince Xander, is there anything that troubles you?
 * Xander: An odd and unprovoked question. Why do you ask it?
 * Nyx: It's rude to answer one question with another. And I asked first. Is there anything that troubl
 * Xander: No. Not at the moment...
 * Nyx: ... You dissemble, prince, but I know the truth.
 * Xander: If memory serves... you are a soothsayer, are you not?
 * Nyx: Yes. And?
 * Xander: My apologies, Nyx, but I believe the art to be a sham and a ruse.
 * Nyx: Do you now...? Then it is fortunate that I am not relating a prophecy.
 * Xander: Oh? Say what you will, but I have no troubles. I must go hence to plan the next offensive. Unless you foresee disaster there too?
 * Nyx: No. But promise me this. Come see me before the strain becomes too much to bear.
 * Xander: ... If you insist.

B Support

 * Xander: I'm curious, Nyx. What are you so certain that I'm worried about?
 * Nyx: Hmhm. You came straight away, I see. Didn't you say that soothsaying was a sham and a ruse?
 * Xander: Answering a question with a question, are we?
 * Nyx: Haha! Well done. But you surprised me. I didn't think you'd come.
 * Xander: Answer the question, please. What did you think was troubling me?
 * Nyx: May I be frank?
 * Xander: You have my leave.
 * Nyx: It's the war. The fighting troubles you.
 * Xander: The war?
 * Nyx: Yes. The truth is that you have no desire to kill your enemies. But in war, their lives can mean nothing. You must have no qualms in taking them. This puts you in a difficult position. You seem to be in pain.
 * Xander: ...
 * Nyx: You are noble in spirit as well as blood. As the eldest prince, you always put your kingdom first. But that is also your weakness.
 * Xander: Do tell...
 * Nyx: You should not have to sublimate your own feelings for the greater good. You must give them a voice and be true to yourself on occasion. ... That is all.
 * Xander: So noted. Tell me, on what grounds do you say all of this?
 * Nyx: Must I explain myself?
 * Xander: Soothsaying, then. I thought as much. So, you truly are aware of my feelings on the subject. Interesting. I must be going now. Thank you for your time. Good day, Nyx.
 * Nyx: ... That is regrettable. For myself, and for you as well.

A Support

 * Nyx: Prince Xander, we must talk.
 * Xander: If this is more soothsaying...
 * Nyx: No. You asked me before what grounds I had to say those things. You assumed I knew what I did through soothsaying, but that is not the truth.
 * Xander: Then what is?
 * Nyx: ... In you, I saw something that felt familiar.
 * Xander: How so?
 * Nyx: The crown prince of Nohr must surely know why I am called a monster.
 * Xander: I do.
 * Nyx: I am forever young in form, and not through any fault in my bloodline. Why do you think that is?
 * Xander: I... I couldn't say.
 * Nyx: Even at a young age, I was skilled in the dark arts. I cast eldritch spells with ease. But the power proved too much for a child. One spell, cast half in jest, cost many people their lives. The toll it took on me caused my body to be frozen in time.
 * Xander: ...
 * Nyx: There were times when I wanted to die rather than deal with what happened. But I live on, hoping that someday I might find a way to atone for my crimes. Despite this, I've found that my talents lie mostly in dealing more death. It makes one wonder what the point of it all is. If all I do is kill, am I really winning my salvation? Or something else?
 * Xander: ... You and I may be more alike than I thought. I'd like to discuss this further, if you have the time.
 * Nyx: I'll listen as long as you wish. Even if I don't look it, I'm old enough that I might have some useful advice for you.

S Support

 * Nyx: You summoned me, Prince Xander?
 * Xander: I have a proposal for you. I want to grant you noble status. Would you like to be the Queen of Nohr?
 * Nyx: What?!
 * Xander: Your shock is understandable, but know that my proposal is genuine. As proof, I present you with this ring.
 * Nyx: ... I'm honored--thrilled, even--but are you sure about this? To wed an outsider...
 * Xander: The kingdom of Nohr is strongly unified. Yet even so, it is more fragile than it seems. An objective point of view such as yours would be valuable. Moreover, you are courageous, calm, and collected, with a sharp mind. All of those are qualities befitting a queen. But above all else, you are the one whom I love.
 * Nyx: But... the things I've done...
 * Xander: In terms of lives claimed, I am not far behind you on that grim tally. If there is any way for us to atone... it is by stopping the fight here. Together, we shall ensure such a burden never touches another generation. You and I will be the cornerstone of a new era of Nohr.
 * Nyx: ... Intriguing. I see no reason to refuse your proposal.
 * Xander: Wonderful! This is a bright day both fur us and for Nohr.
 * Nyx: But you know that due to my curse, I will remain in this state. I will never age. You don't mind that in a wife?
 * Xander: It is not precisely what I envisioned for my queen, but we will make it work.
 * Nyx: I suppose I at least will never fear you abandoning me for someone younger...
 * Xander: That's absurd. If that were all that drove my decision, I'd have proposed to a brainless courtier.
 * Nyx: Hmhmhm, a very good point. Thank you... dear Xander.

 * Nyx: Greetings, Prince Leo.
 * Leo: If you walk any further into that lake, you'll be up to your stomach. You're not planning to take a swim, are you?
 * Nyx: Hmhm. If I were, would you come into the water with me?
 * Leo: N-no, I'll pass.
 * Nyx: I was joking anyway. But no. I came to view my reflection in the lake's waters.
 * Leo: That's all? We have mirrors at camp for that.
 * Nyx: Mirrors are too accurate. I prefer a slight amount of distortion. The water's surface is perfect.
 * Leo: ...All right, then. Try not to stay out too long. It can get cold here by the shore.
 * Nyx: Hmhmhm. I'd best put the rest of my clothes back on before that happens, hm?

 * Leo: I thought I might find you here, Nyx.
 * Nyx: Hello again, Prince Leo.
 * Leo: I'm relieved to find you fully clothed this time.
 * Nyx: Hmhm. Yes, you arrived just in time. Or are you early...?
 * Leo: Ehem, the point is, exposing yourself in that way would have been dangerous. Were you looking at your reflection again?
 * Nyx: Yes, I was. I'm still not used to it. Even after decades in this body.
 * Leo: ...
 * Nyx: My image of myself, and the way I actually am... The gulf between them never seems to shrink. Indeed, as the years pass, it only widens.
 * Leo: Is there no way to lift the curse?
 * Nyx: So you know, then...that it is a curse.
 * Leo: Yes, I've heard some things.
 * Nyx: The curse on me is an extremely potent one. I don't think it has a remedy. But even if it did... I might have to remain in this form regardless.
 * Leo: Why?
 * Nyx: Because this condition is a punishment. I was too young...too foolish...
 * Leo: It's an ineffective sentence that lasts indefinitely, wouldn't you say? Even the harshest judge usually allows for the possibility of atonement. But that's up to whoever placed the curse on you, I suppose...

 * Nyx: Prince Leo...
 * Leo: Yes, Nyx?
 * Nyx: You asked me not long ago who laid the curse on me.
 * Leo: Yes, I recall.
 * Nyx: It may be myself.
 * Leo: ...Care to explain?
 * Nyx: Long ago, when I was young, I discovered I had a gift for the dark arts. Such power in the hands of a child, as you can imagine, lead to the deaths of many. Until one day... One of the spells I wove took its toll, preventing me from maturing further.
 * Leo: Ah, so that's how it came to be.
 * Nyx: I was crazed at first, desperate to find a way to break the curse's hold over me. But as time went on...I started to wonder if I deserved this form.
 * Leo: ...
 * Nyx: Honestly, even this doesn't seem like sufficient punishment for my actions.
 * Leo: ... Close your eyes, Nyx.
 * Nyx: Why?
 * Leo: I wish to use my own magic on you. I'd like to try speaking to your inner self. The one inside your heart.
 * Nyx: Prince Leo...
 * Leo: I disagree with you. I think your punishment has been more than sufficient. And I'd say it's time you changed your perspective a bit.
 * Nyx: I have...misgivings about this...
 * Leo: I doubt it will be easy. You're quite set in your ways by now, after all. But setting your punishment aside for a moment... Let us both consider the matured, adult Nyx of your own self-image. Would she not forgive you? Would she not allow at least for the possibility? If you'll allow me, I'd like to speak to her one day and find out.
 * Nyx: Prince Leo... You've given me much to think about. I'm not sure about that idea of yours, but thank you for your concern. You are...a good friend. If I may call you that.
 * Leo: You may. Please remember that I'm always here for you, Nyx.

 * Nyx: And you? What do you see?

 * Leo: I, too, see us standing at the lake's shore carrying on a conversation. But the Nyx I see has the body of a child...
 * Nyx: ...
 * Leo: Next to that Nyx, I see myself, beaming with joy. The young Nyx has a contented look on her face as well. In between us is a third figure, that of a very small child.
 * Nyx: A child?
 * Leo: Yes. Our child...
 * Nyx: ... I don't care for your sense of humor, Prince Leo. Whatever I might look like, my heart is that of a fully grown woman. It is not to be trifled with.
 * Leo: That was not my intention. Now, Nyx, open your eyes.
 * Nyx: Prince Leo! Is this...a ring...?
 * Leo: Nyx, I want you to marry me.
 * Nyx: ...
 * Leo: I mean that. I want to start a happy, loving family with you.
 * Nyx: It's impossible. I'm stuck like this... forever... What I did was unforgivable. And even if it wasn't, my curse cannot be lifted...
 * Leo: None of that bothers me. I accept you just as you are---as you always will be.
 * Nyx: Prince Leo...
 * Leo: So will you marry me?

 * Laslow: Hi, Nyx. What are you doing sitting by yourself?
 * Nyx: Hmm? Oh. Nothing much of anything, really.
 * Laslow: Well then! If you're not busy, do you want to head into town? I found this wonderful cafe where we could get a cup of tea together.
 * Nyx: I'm sorry... I don't enjoy crowds much.
 * Laslow: Ah, that's a shame. How about I keep my eye out for a cozy little cafe instead? One of those places off the beaten path, with a small but devoted clientele. Would you come with me there?
 * Nyx: Hmhm...are you that intent on having tea together?
 * Laslow: Why wouldn't I be? There's nothing sweeter in life than sharing a cup of tea with a beautiful woman. And if you were to smile as we sipped our tea, why, that would be sweeter still.

 * Laslow: Haha...have I done something to turn you against me?
 * Nyx: No...it's nothing you've done. I just don't want...attachments. Entanglements.
 * Laslow: What a shame. It's a tragic waste of a pretty face.
 * Nyx: Stay. If you knew my crimes, you would call me a monster, as others have before you.
 * Laslow: Crimes, eh? I don't know just what it is you've done, Nyx... But if you ask me, no one in this world is truly innocent. And "monster" is an awful thing to call oneself...
 * Nyx: It depends on the crime. Mine was a particularly grave one...
 * Laslow: ... And if I'd done the same?
 * Nyx: Such as?
 * Laslow: Let's say I'd done something so cruel that I never wanted anyone to find out. If, say, I'd neglected a great many people...let them all die... Would you call me monster, too?
 * Nyx: ...
 * Laslow: Hahaha, my apologies. It was a strange question.

 * Nyx: Whatever you may have done... you are one of my allies. I could never think of you as a monster.

 * Nyx: Hmhm...that was a deft change of subject.
 * Laslow: Thank you. You really do look best when you're smiling, you know. No one who's called you a monster could possibly have seen the way you smile.
 * Nyx: Laslow...
 * Laslow: You're losing it! Come now, smile! Yours is a face built for it.
 * Nyx: Hmhmhm. So persistent... I should revise my opinion of you.
 * Laslow: Such high praise! You'll make me blush.
 * Nyx: Oh? I didn't realize you were so shy. That face you're making could fool anyone into thinking you're not a monster.

 * Odin: Nyx. Can you spare a moment?
 * Nyx: I suppose. What's on your mind?
 * Odin: I command you to stop infringing on my identity, knave!
 * Nyx: Excuse me?
 * Odin: Your innocent act is ill sorted with your menacing aura! And therein lies the fault! You and I are cut from the same dark, mysterious cloth.
 * Nyx: What are you talking about?
 * Odin: "From childhood, she showed a tremendous talent for the black arts. Her family, terrified of her powers, raised her almost against their will." These are the sorts of things I've heard about your past, and I have to say... It's quite impressive. More than impressive-your past looms large and hungry behind you. It lurks, it leers, it lunges out from the shadows, forcing me to acknowledge... You are my true peer. A fellow spelunker in the darkest of abysses.
 * Nyx: ... I have no idea what you're talking about.
 * Odin: In this as in all things, understanding is a superfluous luxury! All you need to know is this: my appreciation for your origins borders on envy... And I was hoping we could be friends.

 * Odin: Ah, Nyx...you have come, as I knew you must.
 * Nyx: Yes, Odin. You sent a messenger to have me meet you here. What did you need?
 * Odin: We are allies in shadow, you and I. We walk the same lonely path of endless dusk. When I acknowledged that in you, we formed a bond not easily broken... But! There can only be one dark paragon! Two cannot stand together at the summit. And so we must settle this in the only true way: with the names of our black magic.
 * Nyx: As usual, I have no idea what you're talking about... Are you saying that you want to have a duel using black magic?
 * Odin: Nothing so gauche. We shall duel using the ominous names of our cursed relics.
 * Nyx: Wait, what?
 * Odin: Begin! First is this accursed talisman... The fetish affixed to my left hand, a fell relic wrought of ash and misery... I give you...Graugang, the Gray Doom!
 * Nyx: ...
 * Odin: Come. Now it is your turn to reveal the true name of one of your cursed relics!
 * Nyx: You've...given names to each of your relics? I...uh...haven't done that.
 * Odin: Wh-what?! You don't name your relics?! How do you even DO magic?
 * Nyx: Like you said, I seem to have a natural talent for it...for better or worse...
 * Odin: Hmph. I was all wrong about you, Nyx... Your behaviour is unbecoming of a diabolist! Turn in your tome and your profane effigy! Maaaan...and I thought you were cool...
 * Nyx: I can tell I've disappointed you...somehow, and I apologize for that... I guess I still don't really understand what you wanted me to do...
 * Odin: Can you at least tell me the names of your spells? Rituals? Blasphemous incantations?
 * Nyx: I've used so many spells that I couldn't even count them all, much less name them.
 * Odin: !!
 * Nyx: What? What is it now?
 * Odin: "...Couldn't even count them"? That is...impressive. It's the casual attitude toward death that I would expect from a fellow shadow dweller. Wait...does this mean...that you were the true avatar of annihilation all along...?

 * Nyx: Odin.

 * Nyx: ...Right, that's what happened. You didn't think I was actually a teenager, did you?
 * Odin: I admit defeat. You are victorious.
 * Nyx: Huh?
 * Odin: Your origin story, your attitude---you are the avatar of annihilation here. Compared to you, I'm a dark dilettante at best, a complete fraud at worst... If only I had a tragic past like yours...
 * Nyx: Trust me, Odin, my past is nothing to envy. To tell the truth, I actually envy you.
 * Odin: What? Why?
 * Nyx: I don't understand everything you say, but I can see the passion behind it. And it looks to me like following that passion actually brings you happiness. Am I right?
 * Odin: Well...yes.
 * Nyx: I would give literally anything to feel that. Eternal youth is also eternal stagnation. I haven't been passionate about anything in so long...
 * Odin: ...

 * Odin: The child that will be born to us.
 * Nyx: What? Make sense!
 * Odin: A child who might inherit your calamitous might, as well as my own sacred blood... We will continue to exist in our child, like a bridge connecting us to the future... That's what I was thinking of. Deep, right?
 * Nyx: ... In other words... This is your roundabout way of proposing to me?
 * Odin: W-well...you could take it like that...
 * Nyx: I see... I'm disappointed in you, Odin.
 * Odin: What?
 * Nyx: A cowardly, indirect proposal is hardly behaviour for a mysterious, shadowy figure. A proper practitioner of the fell arts would just ask directly, consequences be damned!
 * Odin: Your words strike with the force of the most fearsome curses...
 * Nyx: Odin, did you have something to say?
 * Odin: N-no....nothing at all. I...could have proposed normally if... I wasn't so intimidated. But every time I look at you and your unholier-than-thou aura, I feel unworthy...
 * Nyx: Will you stop doing that? I told you once. I accept who you are, regardless of how malefic you might not be.
 * Odin: I know you say that, but...
 * Nyx: No! Say it right! This is your last chance.

 * Nyx: So. How did it feel to be unable to voice a single lewd thought? It certainly seemed distressing, which is why I reversed the spell so soon after.
 * Niles: Nyx, I'm sorry. If I'd known, I never would have said those things to you.
 * Nyx: How unusually contrite of you. Are you that desperate to keep your tongue?
 * Niles: It's not just that. What I said to you was against my policy.
 * Nyx: Explain.
 * Niles: I heard rumors about you long ago, when I was a kid. The girl who grew up as a prodigy in the dark arts...She wove wicked spells without a thought and brought suffering to all she met. But one day she went too far and paid a terrible price.
 * Nyx: ...
 * Niles: I didn't make the connection before -- it didn't even occur to me that she was real. But it's you. You're the dark sorceress Nyx.
 * Nyx: Yes. Also called Nyx the Nefarious, also called the Dread Child, and so forth. But what does this have to do with your policy?
 * Niles: I came up rough. When I see people who are happy, who've lived charmed lives...I can't resist bringing them down, making them feel filthy, like me. But you've been through your own hell, and worse, it was your own doing.
 * Nyx: I see. And this is all you wanted to apologize for? You'll relent with me, yes. But what of the others?
 * Niles: What do you want from me? Just name it, and I'll at least try. I owe you that much.
 * Nyx: Very well. Then try to rein yourself in at least a little when you speak.
 * Niles: All right. I think I can take it down a notch or two.
 * Nyx: It would be cruel to demand that you stop entirely, so I'll draw the line there. But it speaks poorly of you that you enjoy terrorizing people with your vile tongue. You're no better than a child.
 * Niles: Time was, I would have said "you're one to talk"...But unless I miss my guess, you're much older than me, aren't you?
 * Nyx: Undoubtedly.
 * Niles: An older woman, eh? What I wouldn't do to see your true form. The better to drown her in a torrent of the filthiest talk I can dream up.
 * Nyx: How strange. I'm positive I asked you to rein in such thoughts, and yet...

 * Nyx: I'm a practiced soothsayer as well. Your proposal attempt was not entirely unexpected...
 * Niles: Then why won't you let me finish it?
 * Nyx: Because marrying me won't give you what you want. I am a damned soul, who has caused the deaths of hundreds...You will never find happiness at my side.
 * Niles: Nyx...don't talk about yourself like that. I'm under no illusion that I'm any better. I might not be cursed, but there's noting in my life to be proud of.
 * Nyx: You don't understand. I --

 * Nyx: ...Fine. The spell is broken.
 * Niles: *deep breath* Mmm... Mmmaaa...OK, seems like it's working. Nyx, I want you to...marry...me. This ring is the proof of my love for you.
 * Nyx: Ah, Niles...Thank you. I didn't realize I could ever be this happy again.
 * Niles: It's a surprise to me too.
 * Nyx: But...you were being truthful when you swore to curtail your vile tongue near me?
 * Niles: Yeah. Like I said, it's against my policy. I'd never be that crude to someone I loved.
 * Nyx: Were we to wed...perhaps you could relax that policy of yours?
 * Niles: Huh?
 * Nyx: When I think of you employing that gutter mouth of yours against others...My skin burns, as if with jealousy. I demand no less treatment from my soon-to-be husband.

 * Nyx: Yes, which is then pierced by swords. It's a common spectacle. It's done with a special trick sword. But I think I can infer what happened...
 * Arthur: You infer rightly! Spurred on by my enthusiastic charges. I volunteered at once to go in. I squeezed myself into the box, which all seemed honest and aboveboard. But then, to my great shock... Rather than a trick sword, the Great Mandoni skewered me with a real blade!
 * Nyx: As I foresaw...
 * Arthur: As soon as I felt it poke into my armor, I suspected something had gone awry. But I couldn't cry out--not in front of the wonder-struck children. I knew the sword was meant to pass harmlessly through me by some trick... And so, after careful consideration, it seemed best to remain mum. But then the sword pierced my armor and continued its merciless plunge... At the last moment, when death seemed certain, your spellbook saved the day!
 * Nyx: Hmhm. Didn't I say it would? My insight into the future is never wrong. Though it is rare that these glimpses are as clear as they were in your case. It must have something to do with your simple mi-- I mean your pure heart. Now, oftentimes changing one's fate will only bring about a worse one. But you are a friend, so I thought I'd warn you anyway.
 * Arthur: In that case, I owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude! Though while we're on the subject... I've been asked to accompany the Lady Elise to dinner this evening. Can I have your assurance that everything will go swimmingly?
 * Nyx: Hmhm. Your opinion of my fortune-telling has come a long way, hasn't it? But I said before that it's not wise to change the future, and I stand by that.
 * Arthur: I don't need a blow-by-blow of the event. Just give me a general outlook.
 * Nyx: If you insist. Let me peer into the mists of what is to come... Hmm... Very, very interesting.
 * Arthur: What happened? Or rather, I should ask-- what WILL happen?
 * Nyx: You will bear the brunt of someone's wrath. Keep your wits about you.

I'm unique within the Wind Tribe because of my ability as a spellcaster. Due to this strange talent, I've reached prominence at Reppu Castle. But I'll let you in on a secret of mine. A weakness really... I'm...
 * Nyx: What is it?
 * Hayato: It's the darkness...
 * Nyx: Are you saying that you have a dark disposition?
 * Hayato: No, that's not it. I'm saying that I seriously can't deal with any dark place.
 * Nyx: Hmmmm...
 * Hayato: What is that supposed to mean? I'm trying to be honest with you. In the past, I've attempted to control my fear. To overcome it with spells. In the midst of my search, I learned about you, Nyx.
 * Nyx: Are you hoping that I'll make an incantation to banish your fear?
 * Hayato: Yes, that's exactly what I want.
 * Nyx: But, Hayato, it's perfectly natural to be frightened sometimes. Maybe there's nothing to fix.
 * Hayato: Huh? What do you mean?
 * Nyx: Aren't all boys your age afraid of one thing or another?
 * Hayato: I told you, I'm not a little boy. We're probably about the same age! Maybe you're afraid of the dark too!
 * Nyx: N-no, actually, I'm not...
 * Hayato: Ugh, what's wrong with me! This isn't fair. Please, can't you just make the spell?
 * Nyx: A spell that conquers your fear of the darkness. I've never tried something like that before. I'll have to do some research first. And I can't promise you anything...
 * Hayato: Oh thank you! I really appreciate this. But, please, don't tell anyone, OK?
 * Nyx: Your secret is safe with me.

 * Nyx: I've finished that spell you requested. You know, the one to banish your fear of the darkness.
 * Hayato: Really?! You mean it? I'm so excited.
 * Nyx: I assumed you would be. Now first things first, go stand over there.
 * Hayato: OK! Whatever you say!
 * Nyx: You will feel my magic washing over you, like a gentle tide. Hmm... It's finished. There's no need to fear the darkness from here on out.
 * Hayato: B-but... I don't feel any different at all.
 * Nyx: Oh, I think you will come sunset.
 * Hayato: Y-yeah, I sure hope so.
 * Hayato: Ugh... Wa-waaaaaaaaah! I'm scared! This is terrifying!!
 * Nyx: Oh my, what is that shrieking voice off in the distance?
 * Hayato: This spell isn't working at all! I've never been more terrified in my life! Why did you play this devilish trick on me?
 * Nyx: Stop running your mouth. I did cast that spell on you. But a spell alone simply isn't enough. The rest is up to you and your heart. You have to let go of fear. Only then will it be banished from your heart.
 * Hayato: Ohh, so that's how this works?
 * Nyx: For someone so powerful, you certainly behave like a baby. You're gifted with incantations and beloved by the Wind Tribe, yes? They revere you within the village and hold you in high esteem. I would think you should understand this spell without too much difficulty.
 * Hayato: You're right. M-maybe the darkness is nothing to be frightened by. I'm not scared... I'm really not scared anymore.
 * Nyx: That's amazing. For a moment there, I wasn't sure what was going to happen.
 * Hayato: Listen, I'm sorry that I panicked for a minute before. I really think I'll be fine now. With my phobia conquered, I've finally become a flawless man!
 * Nyx: Heh, is that right? I'll admit, you look more handsome now. Confidence befits you.
 * Hayato: D-do you really think so?
 * Nyx: I wouldn't lie.
 * Hayato: This all happened because of you. I really appreciate your effort. You really took care of me!
 * Nyx: I was happy to help.

 * Hayato: *sigh*
 * Nyx: Hayato, is something wrong? It's so late. What are you still doing up at this hour? Is this your own strange way of bragging now that you don't fear the darkness?
 * Hayato: I would never do something so childish. I've just heard that there is more ambience during the night.
 * Nyx: Oh? And why are you so concerned with ambience all of a sudden?
 * Hayato: When you have something important to say, it's better to speak at night. Or at least that's what someone told me.
 * Nyx: What is this all about, Hayato?
 * Hayato: Nyx...I have feelings for you.
 * Nyx: What?!
 * Hayato: I just know that you're the woman for me. What do you say?
 * Nyx: Are you really sure about that?
 * Hayato: What do you mean?
 * Nyx: It's just that I'm much older than you.
 * Hayato: Wh-what?! I don't care about that. If you don't like me, I'll understand. I can survive you breaking my heart.
 * Nyx: No, you don't understand...
 * Hayato: What are you trying to say?
 * Nyx: A long time ago, I cast a very strange spell. Because of that mistake, my body stopped growing. That's why I appear so young.
 * Hayato: I understand. But you're not much older than me. I also look young for my age. There's nothing to worry about. I am the head diviner of the Wind Tribe. I will shatter your curse one day.
 * Nyx: Are you sure about that? It would make me look like a much older woman, you know.
 * Hayato: Your age doesn't matter. I've come to care for you deeply.
 * Nyx: That's very sweet of you to say... I like you too, Hayato.
 * Hayato: R-really? You mean it?
 * Nyx: Yes, I do. I'm so very happy. You've come so far since your struggle with the darkness.
 * Hayato: So it would seem. It's all thanks to you and your amazing spell.
 * Nyx: Since everything ended up just fine, I'll tell you the truth. There never was any spell. Not really.
 * Hayato: Huh? What do you mean?
 * Nyx: There is no spell to make someone unafraid of the dark. I made it up...
 * Hayato: Wh-what... You mean...
 * Nyx: Umm, why are you shaking all of a sudden? Get yourself together already.
 * Hayato: I'm fine. I wasn't shaking at all!
 * Nyx: You're going to be a real handful, aren't you? But at least you're cute.

 * Kana: Mama! Hey, Mama!
 * Nyx: Ah, Kana. What is it?
 * Kana: Look! I picked some pretty flowers for you! They're yellow, like the sun!
 * Nyx: Oh, is that so? Hmm...These are very beautiful!
 * Kana: Do you like them?
 * Nyx: I do. Very much. But what's gotten into you lately? You seem to be bringing me an awful lot of flowers these days...
 * Kana: I just remember that when I was real little, we'd go looking at the flowers together. You always smiled so much. And I love your smile, Mama! So I decided to start bringing you lots and lots of flowers to help you smile.
 * Nyx: Oh my, that's very observant of you. And very sweet, as well. But...I do have a favor to ask of you.
 * Kana: Anything, Mama. What do you need?
 * Nyx: Remember how I told you that flowers are living things too? Well, when you pick them, it hurts them, and they start to wither away and die. And one should never take a life unnecessarily.
 * Kana: Oh no! You mean I've been hurting them?! It was an accident! I'm so sorry, flowers! I've been such a big meanie...
 * Nyx: Don't worry, Kana. It's alright. You just need to promise not to pick any more flowers, OK?
 * Kana: OK! B-but... how will I show you all the neat flowers that I find?
 * Nyx: Hmm... Next time you find some, come and find me. Then we'll go see it together. How does that sound?
 * Kana: Really? You won't bee too busy?
 * Nyx: Not at all. I enjoy our little excursions together.
 * Kana: OK, it's a deal! We'll go look at nice flowers together! That's a promise, Mama!

 * Nyx: Oh, hello, Midori. What is that you've got in your hand?
 * Midori: Remember how your knee was bothering you the other day? Well, I made a special ointment. It should help out with the pain. It took me a few days to track down the right herbs, but I did it.
 * Nyx: You did all that for me? Thank you so much, Midori.
 * Midori: Heehee. Why don't you take a seat and get comfortable. I will apply it for you, OK? Shoo, pain—stop bothering Mother!
 * Nyx: These medicines of yours are always fo potent. My knee already feels much better.
 * Midori: Really? Yaaaay! Err, I mean, I'm glad that it helped.
 * Nyx: Did your Father show you how to create this concoction?
 * Midori: He sure did! I mentioned that you'd been in pain, and he gave me a few ideas. I still had to do a ton of research though.
 * Nyx: You're such a studious girl. I imagine your father was delighted. You know how much he loves to share his wisdom.
 * Midori: Heehee, I hope so! He's always please when I come home with a new herb.
 * Nyx: Of course he is. Midori, you're our pride and joy.

 * Velouria: Mom, I've been thinking... You shouldn't be here.
 * Nyx: I sometimes find myself thinking the same thing. But why do you say that?
 * Velouria: I want you to go somewhere far away from here. Somewhere safe. If you stay here, something bad might happen!
 * Nyx: It might. Casualties are expected in war.
 * Velouria: I know! That's why you have to go far away from this place!
 * Nyx: You're suggesting I turn my back once more on the world? Leave it all behind?
 * Velouria: I don't like the sound of it either, but it's the only way to keep you safe. Missing you is a lot better than losing you forever.
 * Nyx: Calm yourself, Velouria. What you're suggesting is impossible, I'm afraid. Too many people need me here for me to return to my seclusion.
 * Velouria: I don't care about the others—only you! You're my mom... I need you to be safe.
 * Nyx: Yes, child, I am your mother. And it is because you are my child that I cannot abandon you.

 * Nyx: The desired outcome of all this fighting, at least for me... I hope to see a world someday in which you can live without fear of violence and strife.

 * Nina: Mmm...that was really something. The way those men were chatting like old friends... What could they have been talking about? The mind wanders...
 * Nyx: Ah, Nina. You're home.
 * Nina: Gah! Mother?! What are you doing here? I thought you were training! You didn't hear me talking about...stuff... Did you?
 * Nyx: I did not. It's rude to eavesdrop. Why? Is there something I should know?
 * Nina: Nope! Don't worry about it! Whew...
 * Nyx: Now, Nina, you'll see for yourself soon enough, but I tidied your room today. You must keep your things in better shape than this.
 * Nina: Mother! That's my private space.
 * Nyx: The books that were strewn about your room are a prime example of what I mean. Everything has its place, Nina, and that place is not on your floor.
 * Nina: Oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods... PLEASE tell me you didn't open any of those books...
 * Nyx: Hmhm... your concern is touching, but I've opened far worse books in my time.
 * Nina: My diaries and journals, Mother! Did you read them or didn't you?
 * Nyx: Such mundane matters don't interest me greatly. The picture of the curse on you that they paint, though... that may be different...

 * Nina: Well, I suppose things can't get any worse... I...I have a hard time talking to guys. But I think about them all the time! I feel like such a freak. Like they know that I'm thinking about them... And I just clam up and turn red. It's so awful!
 * Nyx: Is that all that vexes you? It's a common reaction to meeting strangers.
 * Nina: But, sometimes I end up being really mean to them... When I think about how I might be hurting people's feelings... I feel like I need to change. But...it's not easy...
 * Nyx: No, but you've taken the hardest step: that of realizing your actions are harmful. As long as you give full weight to their feelings in your dealings with them... It will come naturally in time. Even with complete strangers.
 * Nina: You really think so?
 * Nyx: I don't need to be clairvoyant to know it will happen for you, Nina.
 * Nina: Thanks, Mother. I actually feel a little bit better.
 * Nyx: It's funny, though. I wouldn't have thought talking to boys was your problem. I was certain your curse was an intense curiosity into the affairs of men...

 * Nyx: Rhajat, we need to talk.
 * Rhajat: Hello, Mother. Why are you making that scary face? Did I do something?
 * Nyx: Rhajat, I have to ask you something important. Be honest with me, OK?
 * Rhajat: O-OK... What is it?
 * Nyx: Did you cast a spell on a group of villagers recently?
 * Rhajat: They wanted me to perform a good-luck ritual for their upcoming harvest. I didn't really want to, but they were so insistent that I gave in eventually.
 * Nyx: Well those villagers have been complaining about you...
 * Rhajat: Why would they complain about me? I just complied with their request.
 * Nyx: A mysterious illness has been sweeping through the village. They've never seen anything quite like it before.
 * Rhajat: I don't know why that would be. But sometimes even benign magic can have unintended side effects.
 * Nyx: Many of the villagers are claiming that your spell is tied to this illness. I think that's complete nonsense. I know that you'd never set out to hurt anyone. But you must tell me more about the enchantment you used. If it did cause their sickness, we need to find a way to make them better. I don't want the villagers to fear you.
 * Rhajat: Those villagers will be wary of me regardless of what I do. Maybe it doesn't really matter...
 * Nyx: Rhajat, what do you mean by that?
 * Rhajat: It's just complicated, Mother. You shouldn't involve yourself in this. No good will come of it.

 * Nyx: Oh, I was just about to go shopping.
 * Rhajat: I know everything has been crazy lately, but you look exhausted. Why don't you rest? I'd be more than happy to go to the market for you.
 * Nyx: That's quite thoughtful, but I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
 * Rhajat: Is this supposed shopping trip just a ruse? You're only now leaving the house, and yet that bag is filled to the brim. You were planning to assist those sick villagers, weren't you?
 * Nyx: How did you know?
 * Rhajat: I have a keen awareness of events unfolding around me. Do you feel obliged to come to their aid because they blame me?
 * Nyx: Not at all. You don't understand.
 * Rhajat: Then what is driving you to help them?
 * Nyx: I simply want to assist them in any way possible. My actions have nothing to do with you. I don't believe for a minute that you would ever set out to hurt anyone.
 * Rhajat: You didn't have to sneak around behind my back though...
 * Nyx: I'm sorry about that. Listen, I have to deliver these supplies. The villagers are waiting on me. Perhaps my magic can be used to help ease their suffering too.
 * Rhajat: Wait... I know that I'm not responsible for this illness. I'll be able to explain everything soon. But I need a little more time.

 * Rhajat: Here, Mother. I wanted to show you what I've been working on.
 * Nyx: Is this some sort of medicinal herb? I don't believe that I've seen it before. Can we use it to treat the villagers' illness?
 * Rhajat: Yes. It took longer than I would have liked to mature. I even had to use a bit of light magic to encourage the herb's growth. If I could have brought it to you sooner, I would have. I just needed to make sure it worked first. I'm sorry...
 * Nyx: How exactly did you discover this cure?
 * Rhajat: It took some time. When the villagers asked me to cast a spell for them, I noticed something strange... There were several people who were coughing profusely. A few of them also looked quite pale...
 * Nyx: So they were already sick before you even cast that spell.
 * Rhajat: Exactly. I had heard that there was a rare herb that naturally fights illness. I managed to track down some seeds and got to sprouting them right away.
 * Nyx: Why didn't you warn them or explain yourself? All this suspicion could have been avoided if you'd just said something.
 * Rhajat: My sole concern wasn't their perception of me. It was their health. I needed to find a cure before the sickness got out of control. All I really cared about was you trusting me.
 * Nyx: You're so very stubborn. But I'm proud of you, Rhajat.
 * Rhajat: Um, why are you hugging me? We need to get this herb to the villagers right away.
 * Rhajat: Let me go already. It hurts when you squeeze me so tightly. Listen, you should help me turn this herb into a tea. That way we can distribute it quickly.
 * Nyx: Of course, you're right. Follow me.
