Ash drifts… shadows stir… [Babd: airy, echoing, distant] The Veil watches… always… [Babd: soft, mysterious] Dreams stolen… lost in black… [Lingering: fragile, whispering] Hands reach… I cannot hold… [Lingering: delicate, ethereal] Shadows coil… around my mind… [Lingering: fragile, echoing] Step aside, shadowed thief… [Isolden: strong, resolute, clear] The Veil obeys where I tread… [Isolden: commanding, steady] Lingering, breathe… your chains break now… [Isolden: heroic, uplifting] By steel… by vow… by bloodless vow… [Isolden: rhythmic, triumphant] You think your blade can bind my night? [Dream Thief: hissing, frantic, chaotic] I twist… I crawl… I feast on fright… [Dream Thief: jagged, sharp] The Lingering is mine to claim… [Dream Thief: sinister, writhing] Your light falters… your heart’s a flame! [Dream Thief: dramatic, fading] Flash! Steel sings through gloom… [Isolden: sharp, rhythmic, cinematic] Parry! Shadows reel and swoon… [Isolden: bold, precise] Strike! Dreams return to their keep… [Isolden: powerful, rhythmic] Cut! Fear dissolves in silvered sweep… [Isolden: sharp, heroic] No! My night! My endless theft… [Dream Thief: frantic, retreating] Your hand… too strong… my breath… bereft… [Dream Thief: fading, defeated] Freedom… whispers… warmth returns… [Lingering: soft, sighing, relieved] Veil bends… twists… shivers… [Babd: observing, detached, echoing] Witness to the turning… always… [Babd: soft, omniscient] Dream Thief flees… shadows undone… [Isolden: triumphant, fading] Lingering wakes beneath the silvered sun… [Lingering: grateful, gentle] All darkness bends beneath my gaze… [Isolden: commanding, majestic] I am whole… I am safe… [Lingering: serene, whispering] Ash settles… steel fades… [Babd: soft, final echo, ethereal] The Veil remembers… as all things fade… [Babd: distant, reflective]
