• Dan Heng & Jing Yuan, Dragon Mislay, Dreams Astray
  • Dan Heng: I am Dan Heng. Whether Dan Feng was hero or villain has nothing to do with me. I bore his punishment, accepted my eternal banishment without complaint... but do not let his shadow cloud your estimation of me, general.
  • Jing Yuan: *sigh* Raising old nets only darkens the water — an exercise in unhappiness. Perhaps it is your visage, the horns on your head, or the unmistakable air of the high elder that makes the separation nigh impossible for me.
  • Dan Heng: ...I already told you—
  • Jing Yuan: You did... but to what effect? If words alone were enough to change the heart, this world would be without quarrel.

Penacony

• "Each time we reminisce on our past, we always seem to notice a tiny, but unforgettable instant that we left behind us, along with certain other things that remain constant throughout... That is a summary of our lives, encapsulating everything about us in these moments... proof of our shared path. Within them, we glimpse our own essence, and thus... we truly "exist." Just like everyone in this story, hurtling onwards along the path of destiny with passion and courage, for the things that breathe meaning into their lives." -- Acheron, Stranger in a Strange Land
• "Even if the ending has been predetermined, that's fine. There are countless things that humans cannot change. But before that, on the road towards the end, there are still many things that we can do. And because of this, the "end" will thus reveal a completely different meaning. This is the meaning of "journey." All those things, beautiful before, are still so now. And I believe... It will still bloom at the end of the Nihility, until we meet again beneath the sun's rays." -- Acheron, Stranger in a Strange Land

Amphoreus

• "And yet, even after all this time, your arguments remain the same: repetitive, uninspired. If you had any hope of breaking me, you should have spent those endless cycles refining your rhetoric. You had infinite chances to sway me into the future you want... And yet, here we are. The score: 33,550,336 to 0. So tell me, Lycurgus — who's the real loser here?" -- Phainon, Hero, Shatter That Woeful Effigy
• "In this story, who is truly the one in chains? Who is the one shackled to mindless "vengeance," mistaking courage, the courage to rebel against the gods for foolishness?" -- Phainon, Hero, Shatter That Woeful Effigy
