«Meanwhile at the Hollow Keep…»
Vane (The Void King): Are the pieces in place?
Azella (High Priestess of the Void): Yes… everything is going according to plan.
Azella: <Hero> has the lamp and is en route to see the Djinn.
Vane: And the "God-King"?
Azella: Behaving exactly as you assumed.
Vane: Predictable little insects… not aware of the web that's been woven for them.
Skarn (The Alchemist): Forgive me, but I do not see the benefit of all of this…
Skarn: The lamp is there for the taking… and with it, a wish for any number of things to advance our cause…
Skarn: With one wish… the Hollowing would be inevitable!
Vane: Is it not already?
Skarn: Y-yes, of course, but…
Vane: Do you presume that I, the Void King, require a "wish" to achieve my end goal?
Skarn: I meant nothing of sort! …I was merely--
Azella: Questioning the master's motives?
Skarn: Be slient, you insolent little---
Vane: Are you losing faith in me, Skarn?
Skarn: Of course not! I would never…
Skarn: I just have difficulty understanding why you resist utilizing such a magnificent asset.
Vane: Magnificent? Yes, I see why you would say that of the lamp.
Vane: Believe me when I say you were right to make me aware of the lamp's existence…
Vane: But where our mindsets differ is you think I would use the lamp to achieve a cheapened victory.
Vane: I am Vane the Void King!
Vane: My command of the Void is all that I require to Hollow this would out of the existence!
Vane: And if you do not have faith in that truth, then I have no need for you!
Skarn: Forgive me… it was not my intention to doubt you.
Vane: Then prove your loyalty by succeeding in your role of the plan.
Skarn: Yes, master… I will ensure that my part is executed flawlessly.
Vane: Good… I look forward to seeing the results of your work, Skarn.
