A dark desire...

"The heroics, the adventure, the recognition? I wish I had all that. You're Lucky, you know."
"Yeah, I guess so... but still, it's not all it's cracked up to be."

A great betrayal...
"With this, All of my desires will be a reality, I'll take everything you know and love from you, and it will all finally be mine!"
"But... why?! You were a brother to me!"
"Brother or not, I was still only 2nd rate, but from now on, I'm in charge!"

An unstoppable force...
"As long as he is in possession of the Paradox Soul, no one can stand up to him..."
"Just watch me!"

A heart torn by loss...
"...! Where is she?!"
"Well... up until a day ago, she was leading our resistance in effort to overthrow him, but he captured her."
"What?! No! I'm too late, but... I have to save her!"

A land devastated by change...
"This used to be a grand forest... That is, until he came into power, now it's little more than a pool of toxic slime..."
"More of a lake, how could he do this to his own people?"

A light lost to hopelessness...
"Our prayers are unanswered, or perhaps ignored, there's no response whatsoever... face it, the goddess has abandoned us, and we should do the same to her."
"That's not true! It was the goddess who told me to find you here, and help restore this place to what it once was!"
"Easy for you to say, you've been missing through the years of hell we endured, where was your goddess then?!"
