Initial Contact

As I foresaw so long ago, our paths have finally merged, Character. Now that I have context for that vision, so much more makes sense, and there is little time left to do much about it. I hope you are ready to work hard, because everything Serene has done we must undo, and quickly, or all will be lost.

Greeting

We are fated to work together, Character.

Bitronica, I'm afraid there is no time for pleasantries. The Talons of Vengeance are moving with purpose... Serene's purpose, and I'm afraid that we may already be too late to stop her. I hope you can prove my fears wrong.

You have done all that fate required of you, Character, and no other visions suggest that our relationship continue past this point. Do not take it personally. I have foreseen many things and many faces and each requires my attention in turn. Our fates were intertwined and now they are again free. Find your new path and walk it proudly, for in your future I see great and wonderous things.

Part Three: The Darkest Hour

Briefing

Serene is aware of our efforts to stop her and has now chosen to make her move. I'm sensing the enraged minds of the Talons of Vengeance surging this way, and just beyond our wards the troubled thoughts of the Apparitions press against our defenses, eager to possess new hosts. But don't worry, the Apparitions aren't a threat... yet.

If I were Serene, the job of the Talons would be to tear down our wards and then let the Apparitions overwhelm us. I need you to help make sure that they do not succeed.

I'm on it.

Good. While Makwa and Nadia lead the ritual to keep the wards up, you and I will need to lend our aid wherever the Talons grow most bold in their offensive. Even the Talons have limits, and if they cannot break the wards they will retreat before long.

The Carnival of Light is weaker than ever right now, [PC Name]', you really are our only hope. Good luck, to all of us.

Mission Objective

Defend the Chapel of Enduring Light

The Talons will be here soon, [PC Name]'. The Wards must be protected, or the Apparitions will overwhelm us all.

What do you need me to do?

There are four Wards placed around the Chapel. As long as they are intact the Apparitions will not be able to cross the boundaries.

The Talons of Vengeance, however, are not bound by such mystical laws. They will do everything in their power to undo the magic of the Wards and then the Apparitions will be able to flood in and overwhelm us.

Stop the Talons at all costs!

Alright. Let's get to work.

Mission Objective

Defend the 4 Wards

Aftermath

I... I'm sorry, [PC Name]...

My foresight never showed me this, I... I saw Midnight as a hero and yet he was working with Serene this entire time.

Now all my visions are suspect... Or are they?

Midnight did everything he could to acquire Diabolique's Talisman to give it to Serene not out of vengeance, but out of some misplaced love... Perhaps it is this love that will ultimately lead to Midnight's redemption. I cannot tell for sure, but I know that I will not give up on him.

Blood Begets Blood Part 4: Darkest Before the Dawn

Mission Briefing

Serene's abandonment of Master Midnight has exposed a weakness we can exploit.

Master Midnight will doubtless wish to visit revenge upon her, but we cannot let him do that, for he would become one with the Talons of Vengeance. You need to confront Master Midnight and learn all you can from him about Serene's plan, and what she seeks to do with the Talisman he foolishly gave to her.

No doubt he did so in the hopes that Diabolique would be made his, but surely after making dealings with her he must have some idea of where to find Serene before it is too late. There must be some way to get inside Midnight's Mansion, but with Cerulean dead, his magical portal is no longer at our disposal...

Katie could do it.

Of course! Katie Douglas.

She has the ability to teleport anywhere she can see. While she has never seen the interior of Midnight's Mansion, you have. Katie can read your mind as you imagine the Mansion and then take you there. Of course, if anything happens to Katie while you are in there you may never be able to find your way out again.

I'll instruct Katie to aid you through the Seer Network.

I'm afraid that now, more than ever, her mind must remain safely inside that damnable prison. Any animosity she has toward you when this is all over I ensure will instead be directed toward me.
