In the "office" of the fortress...
... He's here... How do I-
Knock knock.
... <Come in.>
Marc <H-hello, my Lord.>
... <Greetings, Dog Master, Cat Master- What is that beside you?>
Marc <It's a tigress, my Lord. She claims to be Your...wife.>
Flora I didn't mean it; it just got out!
... <My...wife? Yet I am not married! Oh well. Leave her alone with me.>
Marc <As You wish...>
... <A rare sight to behold: a vibrant tigress. What is your name, milady?>
Flora I'll never tell you!
... <Sorry, I don't...quite->
Flora <I'll never answer to you!>
... How rude... <Normally, I would martyrize you, but you show...promise... Dost thou have a name?>
Flora <I told you! I->
... <Would you rather face death!?>
Flora ... <F-Flora...>
... <What?>
Flora <M-my name's Flora...>
... <What a lovely name. Fair maiden, would you consider to be my wife?>
Flora <No! I-I love someone else!>
... <But who would-> The imposter! <You fall for a false prophet!>
Flora <You're the false prophet!>
... Touché... <Please, don't resist. There is no leaving my sanctuary. Here, you shall be safe from harm, from hate. From disgust. Be my wife and we'll rule the world together, for as long as we shall live!>
Flora Uh- Uh- <Who are you...?>
... *hearty laughter* <You don't know the rightful ruler of Mekkan,> Tigris <Trace Legacy!>
Flora <"Tigris?">
Tigris <'Tis the tongue of true heirs, true rulers. It means "tiger"--such as I--whilst you art a tigress, a rare sight to behold.>
Flora <Please... Let me go...>
Tigris <Where would thou go?>
Flora <As far away from you!>
Tigris ... <You held such promise. You broke my heart. I will escort you to your crucifix myself.>
Flora No!
Worshipper <My Lord! The imposter, he's inside!>
Tigris <Tell Alistair to prepare some crucifixes for them and->
Worshipper <Master's dead, my Lord!>
Tigris <W-what!? How!?> ... <W-where's the tigress!?>

After a long-ass walk up the dark, moist passageway...
Trace *whispering* Everyone, let's split up. Kyle, you and I will find Flora. Sythe and Raine, you deal with Alistair; someone will deal with Marc later. Laura, I'm giving you the sacred task of, uh, "manumitting" the worshippers. Trust me; this will get ugly fast. Keith, you deal with "surfeit" threats and secure the passageway for clearance. Everyone ready? Keep on your toes. Let's go.
With Raine and Sythe...
Sythe *whispering* So, uh, this Alistair? What does he look like?
Raine *whispering* All Laura said was that he is the leader of the Wolf and Fox clans.
Sythe *whispering* So no characteristics?
Raine *whispering* Unfortunately, but I guess we have to assume.
Alistair Assume what?
Sythe and Raine turned around fast but got launched back. What he is is a buff Wolf Keidran, ironclad everywhere but his torso and head.
Alistair I don't know who you are, Wolf, but you didn't follow my command! I said there is an intruder in the- What's this? An abomination?
Raine I'm no abomination! You're the abomination!
Alistair Why you- Aah!
Raine was free from his grasp Sythe pulls out his rapier and thrusts its tip into Alistair's chest. Alistair, gasping, lies down and slowly bleeds with a fragment of the blade in him.
