I wasn’t expecting you so soon, Daeva.

You’re the first Daeva to arrive.

• You keep listening.

I presume you already know why you were needed here so quickly.

Tiamat’s gravity field over Laphsaran has finally lifted. The path to Tiamaranta Mesa is now clear.

We’re now ready to advance into the Balaur Lord’s domain, where Tiamat reigns supreme.

• You keep listening.

Command: The order to advance to Tiamaranta has been given. Meet with Outremus.

The Hushblades are leading the expedition to Tiamaranta.

You don’t belong to the Hushblades but I recognise what you’ve achieved so far and will allow you to join the expedition.

If you want in on the grand plan to advance to Tiamaranta and put an end to the Balaur Lord, go and meet with Yulia, the leader of the Hushblades.

• You end the conversation.

The agent told me a special guest would be paying me a visit. He must have meant you.

Daeva, I’ve already heard a lot about your achievements.

I’m impressed. Not only can you handle yourself in combat, but also when it comes to infiltration and espionage too.

We’ve been looking for someone like you.

• You keep listening.

Judging by your face, you’re wondering why we’ve chosen Daevas, aren’t you?

The expedition force should consist of just one small elite unit.

If we take people at random into the area where the Balaur Lord’s power is at its strongest, we’d just suffer greater losses.

It’s a very difficult and dangerous mission.

Think carefully whether you want to join the expedition force under these circumstances, and then let me know.

• ‘I’m joining the expedition force!’

I like your attitude!

But it’s not easy to gain the trust of the expedition force if you’re not a Hushblade. You’ll have to constantly prove yourself.

Here.

This letter of recommendation will help you secure a place in the expedition force.

Go and board the Somnium when you’re ready.

• You end the conversation.

A new face.

People don’t just end up here. If you didn’t intend to be here, it’s better if you just turn around right now.

• You present Yulia’s letter of recommendation.

Hmm, Yulia recommended you?

(mutters quietly) Now she’s sending us someone who’s not a Hushblade? Does that mean this Daeva is that good?

Well, whatever. Hello.

I’m afraid this isn’t the best place for introductions.

You met with Agent Outremus and received orders to advance to Tiamaranta Mesa.

You met with Yulia, the leader of the Hushblades spearheading the Tiamaranta Expedition Force, received a letter of recommendation and boarded the Somnium destined for Tiamaranta.

You handed over Yulia’s letter of recommendation to Commander Ancanus and told him that you want to join the expedition force.
