Forces of Will/Dimitri: Savage Boar


Dimitri	... Dusk settles in Askr much the same as it does in Faerghus. And as it waxes, so too does my bloodlust. Heh... Hell's true depths are yet unplumbed. How much deeper can I sink? No matter where I find myself, the urge to kill follows... Yes... Kill. I'll tear her to shreds. Then, and only then, will I take pause to mourn the lost. It won't be long now. You need not worry, Father. Do not fret, Stepmother. Soon... Soon I will have her head.
...		???
Dimitri	Wh-who's there?!
You...who drape death about you.		???
Dimitri	Who are you?! Answer me!
...		???
Dimitri	You say...I surround myself in death? Hah...hahaha... Of course I do. How could I not? The dead and my regrets are all that give me life. If you intend to oppose me, I will add your name to the list of the dead.
That will not be necessary. You see...my name already appears on that list.		???
Dimitri	...What?!
Some advice: do not draw death too close around you.		Líf
Dimitri	Wait! Who— ... Was that...Prince Alfonse?


Dimitri	...
Ah, hello, Dimitri. Did you...need something from me?		Alfonse
Dimitri	Last night, were you...
...Was I what?		Alfonse
Dimitri	...Never mind.
You are a valued Hero, so I would hope you'd feel free to speak your mind as you choose.		Alfonse
Dimitri	...
We appreciate the experience you bring to the battlefield. You've been a great aid to us.		Alfonse
That said, if I've gotten the wrong impression here and there really is nothing, that is just as well.		Alfonse
Dimitri	...
Your fighting style, though, does seem to indicate that you don't care much for your own safety...		Alfonse
Dimitri	You mean to say I am looking to die out there?
...		Alfonse
Dimitri	I will not die. Not until she's dead. You want a mountain of corpses while I am here? You will find I am well suited to the task.
Dimitri, wait! Don't— He's gone... I wonder what it is that troubles him.		Alfonse


Dimitri	... Hm?! Where— I was just in my room... Hng-yah! Urrgh... These headaches...
...		Hel
Dimitri	...Who are you?
I am death. In death, there is no reason. In death, there is no meaning. Regret for the dead is likewise empty of meaning.		Hel
Dimitri	What is it you mean to say?
The dead do not feel, neither do they think. The dead require nothing. Not even a tombstone.		Hel
Dimitri	...
The living seek a reason to kill, but it is never for the sake of the dead. You kill only for yourselves.		Hel
Dimitri	You talk more than any dead I've yet encountered.
Living one. Join us. Die and come to the realm of the dead. Release the burden of life. Then you will truly be surrounded in death. Then...you can rest.		Hel
Dimitri	... Hah...hahaha! Rest, you say?! What good is rest? I have no need for rest. I will decide when my time to lay down my burdens will be.
...		Hel
Dimitri	I will carry the regret I choose to carry as long as I will. As long as the fight goes on, I will not fall. If the dead have no will...I will be their will for them.
As you add to the dead... The regret you say surrounds them will change into hatred against you for your actions.		Hel
Dimitri	...I am aware. I knew when I chose to walk this path.
Well then, boy, by all means... continue your struggle, wading through your living hell. When the flame of your life expires, we will meet again. Until then...		Hel


Dimitri	...Hm. She's gone? A meaningless illusion from a strange world. My fight will not end.. Not by anyone else's hand. Until I lay to rest the regrets of the dead, I will kill as I must. That is all there is to it.

... So you were set on walking a blood-soaked path before arriving in Askr... To choose that destiny from all those spread out in front of you... Are the depths of your heart so dark?		Líf

Dimitri	When faced with a difficult decision, you should struggle to find the truth, even at the risk of seeming indecisive. That is what I consider to be the role of a leader, at any rate.
Struggling to find the right path... And sticking to it, no matter the criticism. That's the kind of leader I would like to be... ...The kind of king I hope to be.		Alfonse
Dimitri	Hah. It seems the two of us are cut from the same cloth.

Dimitri. If you carry this conviction and still fall to a monstrous fate... ...I will have no right to criticize you. We are indeed cut from the same cloth.		Líf
