[Denam rushes inside to find Vyce, standing above a fallen Xapan.]
DENAM: Vyce? Here?
XAPAN: You...you can't! We were allies!
VYCE: Fool. I know the proper use for a hostage.
[Vice cuts down Xapan with one swing. He dies.]
XAPAN: Uagh!
VYCE: You're next, Denam.
DENAM: What have you done with Catiua?
CATIUA (from afar): Denam!
[A guard forces her out of the room.]
DENAM: Unhand my sister!
VYCE: Oh, I will. But first, you and I have a score to settle.
DENAM: There must be some other way. Here me out -
VYCE: Talk, talk, talk. Let our steel speak!
[The two friends fight.]
DENAM: Vyce, it doesn't have to end like this!
VYCE: Ever since we were boys, you could do no wrong. They lavished praise on you while I looked on. Forgotten. Is it because of our fathers, do you think? The son of a respected abuna and the son of a loutish drunkard. It was a relief when he died. But nothing changed. Why do they hate me? What flaw have I that you have not?
DENAM: This is...this is a fantasy! You're my friend. What became of that friendship?
VYCE: Did I hide my hatred so well? I was never your friend. How I envied you! Your father, the good abuna. Your sister, all beauty and grace.
DENAM: Catiua thinks of you as a second brother.
VYCE: If you could only hear yourself. You've always been the one she cares for. Not even your father was good enough for her. You're the only one she trusts - the only one she loves!
[They continue to duel in the halls of Almorica.]
DENAM: No...it's not too late. Whatever you may say, I was a friend to you. And I would be so again.
VYCE: I want no betrayer for a friend! The duke and Leonar have placed their faith in me. They are friends enough.
DENAM: They only use you. When you've outlived that usefulness, they'll throw you to the wolves!
VYCE: You have it the wrong way round. I am using them.
[As the duel rages, Leonar appears suddenly from a gated area.]
LEONAR: Enough of this! Stay your blades!
[The fighting ceases.]
VYCE: But he's good as dead!
LEONAR: Easy, Vyce! Our circumstance has changed.
VYCE: But it was you who ordered his death!
LEONAR: Stop talking and listen! You'll want to hear this too, Denam. Rhime has fallen. The Bakram will soon be here.
DENAM: But Sir Lanselot -
LEONAR: Dead. Fled. I know not. But we no longer have the luxury of fighting amongst ourselves. Denam, you must join the Duke! What's done is done. Our true foe stands before us!
VYCE: Have you gone mad? He's a traitor!
LEONAR: Enough, Vyce. Did you hear nothing I said? I know why it is you fight, Denam. You dream of a world free of war and hatred. A worthy dream, and reasonable. But reason alone cannot move men to act! Is that how you want this to end? Will you let your father go unavenged? Join us. If not for yourself, then for the Walister!
[Choice 1 - You're right, this is no time to fight.]
DENAM: The Bakram are our true enemy. We must work together if we are to stop them.
LEONAR: Good. You see the truth of it. I expected no less of our young Hero.
VYCE: You've both gone mad! I'll take no part in this.
[Vyce escapes.]
DENAM: Vyce, wait!
LEONAR: Let him go. We must away to the Duke.
[Leonar prepares for the Bakram, leaving Denam alone in the passageway.]
DENAM: Vyce.... Damn him!
This ends Chapter 2. Go to Chapter 3 (Neutral)
[Choice 2 - You know I can't do that.]
DENAM: I'll never rejoin you. You're no different from the Bakram. You are beaten. It is you who chase a dream!
LEONAR: What now? Do you go on trying to bend the world to your will?
DENAM: I'm not so arrogant as that. But I will show our people there is another way! I believe they can rise above this...pettiness.
LEONAR: While we walk the earth, there will ever be conflict. A man will kill another over a husk of bread if not restrained! It falls to us to rein in these base creatures and bring order to the world. They crave a master to lead them, to give them purpose.
DENAM: There is truth in your words, but still I mistrust them. I don't know what to believe.... Why do I fight? Why do any of us?
LEONAR: Perhaps you will understand in time. These are demons you alone can face. Now go, Denam. Take your sister and leave this place!
VYCE: What are you doing? You can't just let him leave!
LEONAR: Go. See the world as it is and dispel your doubts. Search the isles - search all the world - you will not find what you seek. When your hope has died, come back. I'll be waiting.
DENAM: You'll wait a long time.
[Denam stares Vyce down one last time and pursues to retrieve his sister.]
VYCE: Denam!
LEONAR: Let him go. He must come to us willingly, or not at all.
VYCE: We may regret letting him live.
LEONAR: Should it come to that, I'll put him down myself.
[Leonar prepares for the Bakram, leaving Vyce alone in the passageway.]
VYCE: No. Let it be me.
This ends Chapter 2. Go to Chapter 3 (Chaotic)
