Quotes[]

And you are younger. Noticeably.

-- Rai X

Yeah, well my fate's always been entwined with the Geomancer's, what with me being her eternal guardian and all. The Earth becomes healthy and my vitality blooms.

-- Eternal Warrior

Violence is not my path either. [...] I mean it, Eternal Warrior. I aim to fulfill my human potential. Not my purpose as a Rai weapon.

-- Rai X

What do you want?

-- Karana

I don't understand the question.

-- Raijin

Whooo! Still no denial. We seem so alike, me and Karana, you and Raijin. But I look after her. You use him. If you want to be human, my friend...you got a crap-ton to learn about basic decency.

-- Eternal Warrior

I was able to fine-tune its soil-composition replenishers. Boost nutrient up-take without robbing out the soil. For this work to last we cannot take without giving back.

-- Karana

Do not oppose me, Mally Linser. You have no idea what you're dealing with.

-- Rai X

I hate to agree with him, Mally, but you don't. He is nightmare killware when he has to be.

-- Eternal Warrior
