Dialogue

Black Spirit Dialogue

He disappeared!
But where did he run off to?
Didn't I tell you earlier?
He was trying to kill us.
However, I protected you from harm today.
We must be together at all times.
He felt my presence though...
I can tell that he's no ordinary person.
All these unexpected twists and turns makes things more exciting.
The world is full of surprises.
Unfortunately, we lost everything!
We lost the ore and the rare herb! Hehe!
You're not planning to call it quits now, are you?
How about we explore the cave a little?
There is nothing stronger than us in this cave.
I see something over there! Let's go over there to get a closer look!

Black Spirit Dialogue (Alt)

What is that? Get a closer look.
It's safe. I don't sense anything from it.

Black Spirit Completion

We were all deceived.
Falasi, me and you.
This isn't a land of treasures
it's a land of death.
I don't know whether Stejones was aware of that
when he guided people to come here...
However, one thing is certain.
That's no ordinary ore.
