Locations/Replays:
«Scene: Vordred stands with all of his skull armor destroyed.»
Hero: So this is your true form Vordred….
Vordred: NO MATTER.
Vordred: I WILL HAVE MY PRIZE. I WILL BECOME THE CHAMPION OF DARKNESS!
Artix: ….
Vordred: NO MORE GAMES. JOIN MY ARMY OF THE UNDEAD ARTIX… HAHAHAHA
«Screen flashes red»
Vordred: VOIDUMINANCE NECROT-MORPH!!!
Hero: ARTIX! Nooooooo!
«Close up of Vordred's face»
Vordred: HA! HA! HA!
Artix: Awww man, did Vordred just turn me undead?
Artix: I was hoping being undead would at least make this headache go away.
Artix: It is just as bad when I was alive.
Artix: Hey… wait a second. I thought the undead were not allowed to talk?
«Screen zooms out to show Artix not undead»
Vordred: WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Hero: Psssst… Artix, I think you're still alive.
Artix: AWESOME! How did that happen?
Vordred: I SHOULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS…
Hero: Maybe you didn't turn undead because you are the Champion of Light?
Vordred: NO….
Vordred: IT IS BECAUSE ARTIX IS… THE CHAMPION OF DARKNESS.
Hero: WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Artix: WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Vordred: THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE. AND ONCE I SLAY HIM, I GET ALL HIS POWERS.
Artix: One more time… WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Hero: One more time… WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Vordred: ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TELLING ME NEITHER OF YOU KNEW?
«Artix nods»
Hero: Artix is the ultimate Mr. Goodie Two-Shoes… there is no way he can be the Champion of Darkness.
Artix: I think I would have been able to tell if I was some supreme being of darkness.
Vordred: HA HA HA HA!!!! THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!
Vordred: HERO… THERE IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR FRIEND, ARTIX.
Vordred: HE WAS SENT TO THIS WORLD BY THE PLANE OF DARKNESS TO DESTROY THIS WORLD… AND YOU.
Artix: Impossible!!!
Vordred: IT IS TRUE.
Vordred: LADY CELESTIAL TOOK ARTIX IN AS A BODY AND TRAINED HIM TO BECOME LIKE A PALADIN.
Hero: …that would explain why he can't use light-based magic.
Vordred: BUT EVEN AS A CHILD THE PALADINS KNEW WHAT DARKNESS WAS IN HIM…
Artix: What are you talking about!? I had a family… and I lost them in the first undead invasion.
Vordred: THE UNDEAD ARMY THAT WIPED OUT YOU AND YOUR FOSTER FAMILY… THE UNDEAD CAME TO RECLAIM YOU!
Artix: It… it… it was all my fault?
Vordred: HAH! HA! HA! HA!
Artix: This still makes no sense. Artix has never cast a single darkness spell.
«Artix nods.»
Artix: …and I never will.
Vordred: YOU ARE A BETRAYER OF THE ELEMENTAL REALM OF DARKNESS, ARTIX…
Artix: I sword an oath to defend this world from the forces of the evil undead…
Artix: So that the pain, suffering and evil you inflict NEVER HAPPENS TO ANYONE ELSE!
Vordred: ENOUGH… NOW REVEAL YOUR SHADOW, ARTIX….
Vordred: LET OUR TRUE FORMS DUEL AND WATCH AS I DEVOUR YOUR UNTAPPED POWERS!
«Vordred summons his shadow.»
Artix: What in the world!?!?
Hero: Woah… is that Vordred's shadow? It's huge! And now we're surrounded!
Artix: I can sense Vordred's life force in that Shadow AND in his body…
Hero: Are you saying we have to defeat both at the same time?
«Artix nods»
Artix: Yes!
Hero: Alright, then! Artix, release your Shadow and let's do this!
Artix: No way! Even if I knew how to… I would never do that! EVER! There must be another way.
«Hero holds up a glowing amulet»
Hero: Wait… what's this? The Shadowscythe Amulet that Gravelyn gave me is glowing…
Vordred: IF YOU WILL NOT UNLEASH YOUR SHADOW THEN…
«Vordred raises his sword and attacks Artix. Artix falls to the ground.»
Artix: …OW.
Vordred: WAIT. HERO. WHAT'S THAT!?
Vordred: HAHAHA! YOU HAVE THE SHADOW AMULET TOO? THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!
Hero: ….
Vordred: THAT AMULET ALLOWED SEPULCHURE'S MASTER TO CONTROL HIM… NOW YOU CAN USE IT TO CONTROL ARTIX.
Vordred: USE THE AMULET… FORCE ARTIX TO RELEASE HIS SHADOW… DO IT HERO!
Artix: No… don't! There has to be another way!
Vordred: HAHAHAHAHA! USE IT!!!
Hero: So this is the moment everyone was trying to prevent…
Hero: King Alteon, Vayle, Gravelyn… sorry I have to break my promise to you.
«Here, the player has to make a choice.»
«The Hero uses the amulet. Nothing appears to happen at first.»
Vordred: …?
Artix: …?
Hero: Nothing happened?
Artix: … whew, I really thought you were going to release some giant world devouring monster from within me.
Vordred: OH WELL…
Vordred: HIS SHADOW IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO BE MORE THAN AN APPETIZER.
Vordred: NOW. MY SHADOW WILL DEVOUR BOTH OF YOU… HAHAHA!
«Vordred's shadow attacks, but Artix glows red and summons his dragon shadow. It attacks Vordred's shadow.»
Hero: *smirks* Your shadow is pinned and you can no longer regenerate.
Hero: Vordred… time to end this!
