We're taking the rightmost route. Think of the way you would hold a sack of flour. Held over the shoulder or under your arm. Which position will you be least likely to squirm in. I climb fast, and you will fall off if you try to cling to my back like you did with Gravelyn. You have three seconds before I choose for you. Then, I'll eviscerate the Vampire Queen's minions, if that is truly what they are.
I should have made you climb. You're yappier than the Doomblade, constantly asking for advice for your trifling problems. If I were whole in Lore, I could present you with Malgor's head in one night's time. As for these bloodsuckers, Gravelyn's intuition was right. They're fake dolls. It reminds me of the paper toys Lynaria used to paint for children orphaned by the rebellion. She kept me from helping her. Odd, my crafts weren't that scary.

We'll keep climbing the ladders dangling on the right. Ha, the moment I mentioned that the vampire minions were fake, the tourney's host dropped new toys into the arena. Recognize their armor? Or have I humiliated the Lightguard so thoroughly that no trace of them remains? Raise your weapon. I'm curious about the kind of warrior that gained my daughter's trust. But those scattered bones…are they real or waxen?
Don't squirm, I have to carry you above the water. Those bones were worn down by the acid pooling in the pond we stand in. The flesh slowly melted previous visitors before they understood what was happening. See how shadowy the pond has become? The liquid is even affecting me. If I stood here for long enough, Big Mama would have more paint to create these creatures. That is, if making toys is the only use for this βpaint.'

I just noticed that there's a book here. Did you find others like it when you were escorted by Safiria and my daughter? …Do not read it. I need to fight off the fake Lightguard creations before we can move on. They're as overzealous as the originals. While I take care of them, keep your eyes on me. Not the book. I'm warning you. Do not read that book.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO READ THAT BOOK…did you just pass out? I didn't choke you that hard. Wake up. You better wake up. Remember that I am undead and can do nothing to resuscitate you…Gravelyn will be upset if I take you to the top of the tower unconscious. Does that mean I must wait until you open your eyes? Fine. If I stack some lilypads, it should make a suitable bed to drop you on.

I just returned from the next platform. You woke in time to watch me rip that illusion to shreds. That room, the throne, these crowns shouldn't exist. I would never allow it! Are there only Lightguard dolls to shatter? If I crush all of them, will a mannequin of Alteon be rolled out into the spotlight? I welcome another chance to destroy him. Don't touch me. Don't get in my way. This sham must be destroyed!
Pretend you didn't see that outburst and do not mention a word to Gravelyn. I thought the dreams I had of Alteon taunting me about being easily corrupted were conjured by the doomknight armor and blade. Those thoughts may have always been with me. The power of the darkness didn't need to dig its claws that deeply into my mind. Keep your sympathies to yourself. We're leaving.
