"Is it true?"
-
"I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about."
-
"Who are you really?"
-
"I don't know what you mean by that. What are you trying to get at?"
-
"What did you do before you joined this crew?" [b]He loosens the grip.[/b]
-
"I...I was once the ruler of a great people. But this came to an end. A Blight began afflicting my people, warping their bodies beyond recognition...twisting their minds beyond redemption. I fought hard to keep my people safe, but I failed in the end. Now I fear my past has gone back to haunt me."
-
"I... It may be after you again."

[b]Cygnus gets her sword and starts toward the hangar.[/b] "What do you mean?"
-
"Something wants you dead. Do you have any enemies?"
-
[b]Cygnus stops at the door.[/b] "Of course nobility would have enemies. Now it ends."
-
"Nobility? Now what ends?"
-
"Just who wants me dead?"
-
"I don't know."
-
"Small black ball thing?"
-
"What?"
-
"What did it look like?"
-
"It...?" [b]He starts to back up.[/b] "I never mentioned an it... What do you know?"
-
"[i]It's[/i] the only thing I can call an enemy. Some of these Blighted are simply turned into mindless beasts. But those who He deems worthy retain their minds, their wills still corrupted. This is what you just saw."
-
"Are these things a danger to us all?"
-
[b]Cygnus turns around.[/b] "Danger is an understatement. They will not stop until either everything is corrupted by their dark will or they are sealed away once again."
