«Scene: Twilly (wielding his twig staff), Artix (wielding the Blade of Awe), and the Hero stand in front of Yulgar's Inn, defending it from the hordes of undead»
Twilly: The town's defenses are breached… the Zombies are coming!!
Artix: <Hero>, You take the 10 million zombies on the right… and I will take the 10 million zombies on the left, ok?
Twilly: …um, guys, is it true that every place in the world has been overrun by the Zombies?
Hero: Yes.
Artix: Yes.
Twilly: So the two of you are the only thing standing between the zombie horde and the last survivors in the inn?
Hero: Yes.
Artix: Yes.
«Twilly starts crying»
Twilly: … is there any way left to save the world?
Artix: Hmmm, wait. You said that Sepulchure was zombifying the world to figure out who the Champion of Light is by "PROCESS OF ELIMINATION" right?
Hero: Yes. I overheard everything when I was in Castle SwordHaven's throne-room.
Hero: Sepulchure says if he slays the Champion of Light, it will open a portal to the Plane of Darkness.
Artix: OMG! WHAT!? OPEN a portal to the Plane of Darkness!?
Artix: We CANNOT let that happen!!!
Hero: Um, how can a portal opening possibly be worse than everyone in the world turning into zombies…. and coming right at us?
Artix: IT IS!
Hero: !?!?
Artix: I still have hope that we can still find a way to save everyone who was become a zombie.
Artix: But if that portal opens, unfathomably powerful darkness creatures will flood this world… and consume everything.
Artix: They will not stop at people, animals, and plants… they will devour EVERYTHING… until the entire universe is a vast waste of black emptiness, expanding their realm.
Hero: Oh…
Hero: Well, on the bright side, I feel slightly better only have 20 million zombies coming to eat us. Thanks! Um… how do you know so much about this?
Artix: You are one of the only people who knows why I do.
Hero: Right. Glad you're on our side… what can we do to stop it?
Artix: We need to figure out who the Champion of Light before Sepulchure does.
Hero: You mean… you seriously don't know?
Artix: Huh? ….wait… YOU DO!?
Hero: Yeah! I figured it out a long time ago. It was so obvious!
Artix: Whaaaa —? Who is the Champion of Light then?
Hero: It's…
«Screen pans up to Sepuchure's castle flying over BattleOn Town»

«Screen pans back down to Twilly, Artix, and the Hero»
Artix: No, seriously… how did you figure it out?
Hero: I saw it coming a mile away. How didn't you!?
Artix: How are we going to find her? Are you SURE Gravelyn is the Champion of Light!?
«Screen pans to the side, showing Gravelyn»
Gravelyn: Yes. I am positive of it.
Hero: Gravelyn!?!?
Artix: Gravelyn!?!?
Gravelyn: If not for the wish, this secret may have never come to light.
Artix: Do you know the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it?"
Gravelyn: There are a lot of unanswered questions….
Hero: I always wondered how, as a little girl, you were raised by the undead, but never became one yourself.

«Scene: Gravelyn, Twilly, Artix, and the Hero defend Yulgar's Inn from the hordes of zombies»
Artix: I think Sepulchure really wanted to believe that King Alteon was the Champion of Light.
Artix: But deep down inside… your Father knew the truth. He always knew the truth.
Hero: Did Sepulchure hesitate out of his love for his Daughter?
Gravelyn: My Father's love? Hah! Sepulchure never loved me as a Daughter.
Hero: …
Artix: …
Gravelyn: Don't you see? I was his backup plan. He knew. He knew the whole time!
Gravelyn: My entire life has been a twisted lie. But that stops, now.
Hero: Gravelyn, you are the Champion of Light… we must defend you at all costs.
Gravelyn: NO!
Hero: ??
Artix: ??
Gravelyn: <Hero>, you have been my greatest ally, and my truest friend. But I am not going to have you fight my battles for me anymore.
Gravelyn: I know what I am now… if my Father's undead army is here, then… he and his army will have to face ME alone!
«Here the player can choose between dialogue options»
Artix: I am with the both of you too!
Gravelyn: So be it… the three of us vs. the world.
