The Aurora Returns
The Capital needs you, so run. Don't worry, getting Ti on my knee won't take long. I'll be right behind you. Heh, I miss saying that.

The Most Loyal of Traitors
The Moon has risen. That makes it the nineteenth time Drago has resorted to cowardice. You came here searching for the truth. I promise that once The Moon is dispelled, so will the illusions.

After completing the 'Isolani' quest:
The Most Loyal of Traitors
There you are, Dragon. I wonder how that spoiled egg of a King is treating you? Hope chaperoning him isn't going to be that exhausting of a chore. I definitely would know but that's neither here nor there. What's important right now is keeping him from continuing the Coronation of the Celestial.
Talk
So… you have some questions for me?
The Ritual
To Drago, the ritual simply summons terrifying beasts to win his wars. But he's just a well-dressed monkey with a brain to match. On this leg of the journey, you fought the Moon, hmm? What comes next will scatter the illusions, your strength will make it so.
Ti?
Oof, Ti was really mad at me. We've fought before but he always pulled his punches when it comes to friends and students. Goes to show how loyal he is to our liege. Make no mistake, I am the most loyal of Darkon's Scale. Everything I do is for his sake, even if I must pay for it.
Dog Tags?
It's funny, Astravia is one of the few Kingdoms to have their soldiers wear dog tags. They're engraved with our names and meant to help us keep our identities should our faces be taken. Unlike our rites and rituals, these tags weren't gifts from the Stars. They say a warrior from ‘before the beginning of time' came to rest in Astravia. If you would help the rest of my fellow soldiers rest, there'll be something nice in it for you.

Knight in Shattered Armor
Did you miss me? I mean, if you were stuck with Drago for that long, you’d probably miss sharing company with ticks. At least they never lie. That Nine Muses Key doesn’t lead to a hidden passage to the outside of the castle. It opens the chamber where Drago can conduct the Coronation of the Celestial. He was going to summon the next beast no matter what you did. Let’s give him a surprise and destroy the ritual room. It won’t stop Drago completely but the extra preparations he’ll need to make will buy us enough time to focus on Darkon.
Nostalgia
I was five years old when I first snuck into the castle wondering what the fuss was about. Years and years later, here I am again. There used to be beautiful portraits and sculptures celebrating Astravia and her people lining the walls. Even a stage for concerts. Those were actual things to be proud of. Drago took the palace and turned it into a monument to himself.
Coronation
That is the name given to the ritual Drago and the more bloodthirsty rulers before him used in their conquests. By sacrificing a number of their subjects, the Ruler can summon twenty-two beasts in a specific sequence. Now that you’ve defeated The Moon, Drago has three cards left in his deck. No Ruler has ever made it to summoning the final beast. The price is too great, and I hope it stays that way.
Loyalty
I don’t think loyalty is only about following your charge’s orders to the letter. It’s also about your responsibility to them, and knowing when they’re in the wrong. Even the kindest person loses their senses if they’re angry enough. I hope you’ll forgive this uh, it would definitely be an understatement to call this a bit of an outburst on Darkon’s part. On a sunnier day, I think we would get along well, perhaps even be family. Wow, you have a cute laugh!

Knight in Shattered Armor
We were so close. I was hoping to show you how peaceful Astravia looks under a blue sky. But, that chance has passed me by. You have to keep going. Time waits for no one.

Frostval First Timer?
I've never celebrated Frostval before, and I'm going to need an expert to show me around. Hey, how hard do I need to nudge and wink before you get with the program? What should we do first? Wrap some presents? Sip some cocoa by the fire? Or should we watch for the aurora? My name sounds similar, doesn't it? I wonder if my parents named me after one. A girl can have a few sweet dreams for Frostval, can't she?
Astravia
We don't need to talk about Astravia right now. It'll always be my home, the place I protected with my life, and where we got to meet…but it's nice here. Way back, I used to be pretty mean. I had no problem with Outsiders, but I wasn't interested in what they had to say either. That changed after Suki arrived in Eridani. You remember that, right? It was almost like you were there. I wonder why that is.
Wishes
I have a lot of wishes that I didn't exactly make. Decorating a tree, wrapping presents, hanging big red socks above a fireplace, and only having eggnog during winter is all new to me…but Fa, La, and Song really wanted me to experience it. I think that somewhere, in this soft little spot, you wanted that too. Oops, sorry for poking you in the chest like that. I was just teasing!
Always
Do you know what happens to people like me when we die? Regulus and Titania… well, you saw that for yourself. Don't worry, I'm not dead, because you're the Eternal Dragon of Time. I'll always live in your memories, your grotesque history, and the tidal wave of trauma that will eventually swallow everything else in your long, endless life.
Darkon's First Friend
I meant to get here earlier but it's too late…You and Re already handled Drago. I can't blame Re for encouraging you to puree that rotten tomato King. Drago's the only one who deserved that fate but now, Darkon crossed the point of no return. Please, help bring our Darkon back. Even if it means that he'll only regain his senses when he's at death's door.
Talk
Re told me that we're in a dream. Not exactly that but, you explained to her that our… situation isn’t real. In your reality, I'm long gone way before Darkon manages to summon The World, correct? Then maybe, this is my second chance? I can’t let Darkon go down this path. Real or not, I won't let any version of our softy Prince do something he and Suki would regret. This time, we'll save him together.
The World
The gate to The World's realm has been opened. We need to cut the tie between Darkon and The World before the beast can pass through! The nature of this Primordial is unpredictable. There is a possibility this might even affect your reality if we allow it to breach the gate. Please, we have no time to waste.
