FOR SO LONG, I DEVOTED MY LIFE TO THE LEGION.
«Scene: Laken, wearing his blue armor, stands next to Dage in the Underworld»
I WAS SO LOYAL, SO COMMITTED, THAT I ROSE ITS RANKS QUICKLY.
«Scene zooms out to show Legion soldiers in the foreground»
EVENTUALLY, EVEN BECOMING DAGE'S SECOND IN COMMAND.

«Scene: Laken and the Hero stand in the Seraphic Paladin base»
Laken: But after everything went down with Wilhelm, I realized how poisoned it had all become.
Laken: And I realized why I'd been sent back in time:
Laken: To stop Dage, and his Undead Legion, for good.
Laken: In the end, I committed myself to the Seraphic Order.
«Scene: Close up of Laken»
Laken: With their help, I stole the Dark Shard — a fragment of Dage's soul, and a conduit for Nulgath's power over him.
Laken: Now, as we speak, the Order is using that shard to create a powerful weapon…
Laken: …a weapon that would have the ability to injure Dage in his "immortal" form.
Laken: With it, I can finally put an end to the Undead Legion.
«Scene: Close up of Hero»
Hero: How are you going to do it? It's not like Dage is going to let you just waltz into the Underworld.
«Scene zooms back out»
Laken: No, of course not.
Laken: And their numbers are far too great. If we faced them head on, they'd defeat us easily.
Laken: But I have a… device, from my time in the Legion.
Laken: With it, I can open a portal… a backdoor into the deepest part of the Underworld.
Laken: There, we will take control of Dage's most deeply guarded secret…

«Scene: a blue and purple orb floating in a dark cave»
THE WORLD'S SOUL, WHERE ALL LIFE COMES FROM, AND RETURNS TO IN DEATH.
IN YOUR REALM, IT IS THE MANA CORE. THE CENTER OF LORE.
«Scene zooms in on the Mana Core»
IN THE UNDERWORLD, IT IS A FONT OF SOUL ENERGY, WHICH DAGE IS BOUND TO BY NULGATH TO PROTECT.

«Scene: Laken and Hero in the Seraphic Paladin base»
Laken: …and the one thing he most covets.
Laken: Through the Legion, he can trap souls from returning to it. But he can't take from it for his own.
Laken: He'll have to come and face us… but he'll only bring a fraction of his army.
Hero: …because it's a secret, even from most of them.
Laken: Exactly.
Laken: So we draw him out… force him to face us himself, and then take him down.
