Starting the quest
Wait... You! You're one of the Black Mage's commanders, are you not?
Mercedes...? Are you here to harass me?
No...you seem different than I remember. I think you are aware of your misdeeds. I only wanted to talk.
Reply to “Yes”
It has been so long, but I remember every moment as though it were yesterday. We entered the Temple of Time, and received the letter from your servant. That letter told us of the troop deployments in the Temple of Time...it was key to our victory.
When we got the letter, Arkarium appeared and attacked your henchman before we could do anything. Arkarium attacked us briefly, but soon fled.
Using the information from the letter, we took the most direct route to the Black Mage. When we arrived...I remember seeing you on the ground. How did you escape alive?

You dare refuse to speak to me? Hmph...it's not like I even WANT to speak to you. I only thought you should know what happened on that fateful day.
Turning in the quest
We knew you had turned on the Black Mage...signs of your struggle were everywhere, and the Black Mage's protective magic was damaged. It is because of you that we heroes could seal the Black Mage, though I still regret that we could not destroy him completely...
I am relieved to hear that I did some good against him.
Regardless, there is much evil you have done that still needs to be atoned for. I cannot say if your crimes will ever be forgiven...
I'm not here for forgiveness. I have already lost everything that matters to me. Vengeance is my only concern now.
I certainly do not envy your situation. What do you intend to do now?
Everything that has happened is my responsibility. I will right these wrongs, and end the threat of the Black Mage myself.
...When the Black Mage returns, your strength will be needed. I have no intention of helping you, but I am glad our goals are the same.
I neither ask nor need anything from you. This agreement suits me.
It's almost funny, isn't it? You were once my sworn enemy, and here we are, having a simple conversation. I cannot forgive you...but I no longer hate you.

When the Black Mage returns, we will meet again. Until then, may the Ancient Spirit watch over you, my old foe...
