And it is with a grave heart that I tell you, son...

Hey! Hey! No, no, drop it! I said drop it! Alright, too late... Spit it out! I said spit it out! There you go. We agreed, no eating the gems of power, that's not how they work. No, you can't just lick one. Now listen.

And it is with a grave heart that I tell you, son, that the destiny of the world rests upon your shoulders.

Come on buddy, pay attention. I know you wanna go throw crackers at the cat again, but I'm trying to tell you something important.

So... it is with a grave heart that I tell you, son, that the destiny of the world rests upon your shoulders. You must take the sword of destiny... what do you mean, you lost it? Seven hundred noble knights sacrificed their lives to steal it from the shadow realm! Alright, alright, don't cry, we'll get you a new one.

You must take the sword of destiny, defeat the archpriest of darkness, and bring the light of hope back into this world.

...aaahand, he's asleep. Okay, our realm is doomed, we're all gonna die. Gods, why couldn't you have chosen my oldest one? He's so much smarter. Who cares if this one's soul is more pure? Bless his heart....
