"Ryu, I just want to tell you that I am sorry. For everything that happened at Angel Tower. I only wanted to confirm a suspicion that I had had for so long."
"What suspicion is that, Garr?"
"That the Brood never truly fought us during the War. I wonder what would have happened if they had. Would it be my own people that the world digs up for Chrysm?"
"This all happened long before I was born... You're the only one who has told me anything of my people."
"I know... And yet, I now realize that I know so little of the Brood. I think I was afraid to know more of them. And having fought you, I now know that if the Brood had truly fought in the War, we couldn't have won. And I know not why they stayed their hands. Why they didn't use the power that they possessed."
There's an explosion!
"We should be able to get through now." Garr says as the dust clears.
A sudden chill takes to the air.
What do you think you're doing, 'Guardian'?
............. Ryu.
"Wha... What is this?"
"How do you know Ryu's name?"
I am the one who awakened Ryu. I woke him from his long slumber.
"You mean back in the mines? These mines? Back when... That was your voice?"
Yes, you did excellent that day. You killed so many of those fools picking at our people's bodies. Desecrating their memories!
"No... They attacked me. I only fought in self defense. That wasn't your voice, I heard, was it? The one that told me to stop..."
Ignore that traitor's words. They only serve to facilitate our enemies.
Ryu, Why do you let him live? Why do you let our enemy live!?
"You're a... dragon..?"
Before Ryu and Garr's very eyes a pool of blood appears.
"What is this?"
Can you hear it, 'Guardian'? Can you hear our spilt blood crying out for vengeance?
On top of the pool of blood a dragon appears, but this is no ordinary dragon. It has no flesh or blood to speak of. It is a dragon made of bone.
"'Guardian'... It's been what? 400 years? You, who tried to exterminate us, where are you taking Ryu?"
"I... I'm taking Ryu to meet our God."
At this declaration, Ryu can't help but look at Garr.
"What? What did you say?"
"Why? To make a sacrificial offering out of the last dragon?"
"To learn the truth. To learn if the war we fought 400 years ago was right."
The Bone Dragon laughed.
"Ryu, kill him! Avenge our people's memories! They destroyed us the Guardians killed us all."
"I refuse. I will not be your weapon of vengeance. Your sword to kill those you despise. I refuse to believe that is all our power is for!"
"Do you not hate him? Do you not despise him?"
You must not hate...
"Silence! You have no right!"
"What... What is going on?"
"I'll kill the Guardian myself! Then you will understand!" The Dragon said as it began to radiate Dark energy.
