1. Gift Selection

Horus

Set, your sister is looking for you.

It's Gift of Waters. You should go and see her.

Set

Sister? What sister? I have no sister to offer.

Horus

The Dark Age is over.

Set

Then why are those who ran amok during the Dark Age still at large?

This is boring. Neither of us is going to convince the other.

I'm more interested in the person standing next to you.

Let me have him and we can pretend today never happened.

Awakener

Horus!

...We have a deal.

Horus

True. Please give me a minute.

Set

Very well. I shall take my leave... NOT!!!

After so many years of preparation, you think you can end it with a word!

Horus

I have no intention of letting you end it either... where is the trust between us? What a sorry state of affairs.

???

Why feel sorry about something that does not exist? O Great Leader?

Truly, Majesty. It is over.

Horus

Hemetto and... you are?

Aurora

I-I am Aurora, a common servant... (sobs)

Awakener

What is a common servant doing here?

Hemetto

Why, is the rising star of Teslovik not here also?

Set

Aren't you a bit early?

I was just about to fight our Great Leader.

Looks like a righteous pile-on is in order.

Horus

...Wonderful.

3. Stage 48-3, after the battle

Aurora

Our opponent is the greatest leader in Nebu Alliance's history. I hadn't considered that...

Set

Did Wadjet send you along for moral support? Quit complaining.

Aurora

But...

But she's barely drawn her weapon and already the Echo Crystals are starting to pulsate...

Hemetto

Stands to reason the one who ended the Dark Age would be powerful.

Horus

Give me a minute while I sort out these fools, then we can discuss your reward.

Awakener

...Okay.

4. Stage 48-10, after the battle

Hemetto

Mission failed. Abort! Abort!

Set

To witness the power of one so great is no loss.

Horus

They weren't bad, just following the wrong master.

Awakener

Now where were we?

Horus

A Relic Component clue, right?

Awakener

Yes?

Horus

Well, it just so happens I do know something about it...
