Thea: The Old Grove is a sacred place for the Keepers of arcane ancestral knowledge. However, the grove is dying. Its trees are withering, its beasts turning rabid for no reason.
Kai: The cause is corruption... It looks much like what my ancestors, the ancient elves, once fought. They would've never defeated it without the Keepers. Such as the legendary Alvanor.
Thea: I wonder if he's still alive.
Kai: He is, but he has lain in deep slumber for several centuries.
Thea: I believe the time has come for Alvanor to awaken.
Kai: Indeed. According to the chronicles, the Keeper's tomb is right here, in the Old Grove.
Thea: These ruins to the west... I think I know where we can find Alvanor. Wake up, hero. The time has come!
Battle
Artemis: What have you done?! The tomb itself is the source of the corruption!
Outro
Artemis: Hey, what does this mean?! My squad was the first to find corruption in the Old Grove. It happened right here!
Thea: I found no sources of corruption in the tomb, though.
Artemis: You don't believe me? My archers are perceptive. They serve these woods! Know this: the corruption is here!
Kai: Hush, my friends. Keep silent. Alvanor needs to recover.
Artemis: Ugh, have it your way! Mark our words, you'll remember this!
Werewolves[]
Intro
Thea: You're in the Old Grove once more, Alvanor!
Alvanor: How startling. Astounding! If I didn't feel so sick, I never would have noticed the difference after so many centuries of deep slumber. My grove! Trees and meadows all around...
Kai: We've awakened you for a reason, glorious Keeper. The corruption is spreading in the Old Grove yet again!
Thea: We are deeply troubled. We're scared.
Alvanor: By the Forerunners! That is concerning. Indeed, I can sense a corrupted presence in here. We must purify the forest, but my powers are exhausted. I cannot feel the breath of the grove, nor use its magic runes.
Thea: Great Alvanor, if you join us, we...
Kai: We'll find the runes and revive them!
Battle
Werewolf: Arrrgrh! Grrah!
Outro
Werewolf: Doom! Doom and destruction!
Kai: Werewolves in the Old Grove? I won't stand for this!
*Kai kills the Werewolves*
Thea: Ooh! It feels as though the corruption is following us, rather than the other way around.
Alvanor: How are these beasts roaming the sacred forest? It's absurd! And I couldn't even help. I feel weak and frail, as though old age is getting the best of me.
Kai: Alvanor, you are no longer young. No longer young at all, I'd say.
Thea: Actually, you're pretty much ancient! May I call you Grandpa?
Alvanor: The youth nowadays! Always with their little jokes! Tell you what, let's head to the runes.
The Relic Forest[]
Intro
Thea: This is the relic forest. It has changed a lot since I was last here.
Kai: What I'm seeing is hardly a forest at all. Nothing but tree stumps and rotten brushwood.
Alvanor: It's the corruption. It taints all life it touches. It pulls the worst, darkest parts in us to the surface. These trees are beyond help. However, we can breathe life into new and untainted plants.
Thea: I'll do anything to save the Old Grove!
Kai: Let's raze all of this to the ground, then!
Battle
Tree: The corruption follows you... It's by your side!
Outro
Alvanor: The rune has shown itself to me! A few horrendous tree stumps seemed to be opposing it vehemently, though.
Thea: Did you hear what they said?
Kai: Don't mind them. They're just tree stumps, after all.
Alvanor: "The corruption is here," they creaked. There's a meaning to their words... We just need to understand it.
Earth Rune Defenders[]
Intro
Thea: This is the place! The Rune of Earth is here. The runic alter appears to have been abandoned. How many years has it just stood here?
Alvanor: Plenty, I believe. Only a select few can make use of runic power. By the Forerunners! I fear I'm doomed to be the last Keeper of all the peoples.
Kai: Alvanor, please, just do what you must. Activate the Rune of the Earth!
Battle
Andvari: The earth fears the corruption! The rune needs pure souls!
Outro
Thea: What's wrong with our souls? I know mine is pure.
Kai: Same here. All our souls are good and pure enough.
Alvanor: Their suspicions are insulting! Their doubts are demeaning! Their actions are unacceptable! They deserve the harshest puni...
Thea: Alvanor, you're scaring me! This is the first time I've seen you like this.
Alvanor: Oh, uh... Indeed. I must have lost my nerve. How awkward...
Nature Rune Defenders[]
Intro
Alvanor: I'm feeling much better now. What I wouldn't give to spread my feathers and fly!
Thea: You don't have wings, though.
Alvanor: That's the point. As grateful as I am to the Creators, why did they make me look like this? Not a centaur, not a bird, not an elf... Who am I?
Thea: Oh, come on. You're... quite striking.
Alvanor: Well, thank you.
Kai: Look at you, chatting all the way to the next altar. The Rune of Nature is here!
Battle
Arachne: Who will protect nature, if not us? Take them, dryads!
Outro
Qing Mao: Thieves! Vandals! Desecrators!
Arachne: Go away! The dryads aren't your friends!
Alvanor: These ladies are gorgeous, with an attitude to match. If only I were a younger man...
Thea: Ahem... With all due respect, Alvanor, I suggest that you proceed.
Alvanor: Of course, my dear.
Life Rune Defenders[]
Intro
Alvanor : I'm utterly exhausted. Alas, my friends, even the power of the runes won't sustain me. How are we to banish the corruption if I...
Kai: Don't worry, Alvanor. It's going to be alright!
Alvanor: Don't you dare interrupt me, boy! Did you forget who I am? Oh. What's gotten into me... I beg your forgiveness, Kai. I do not know what possessed me.
Kai: Um... Don't worry. It's just, well... it's a bit odd. Actually, it's time for us to proceed. Off to find the Rund of Life we go!
Battle
Mad Drommer Marksman: You are unworthy of the Rune of Life. One of you is marked by darkness!
Outro
Thea: There's something off about him.
Kai: You mean Alvanor?
Thea: Of course I mean Alvanor!
Alvanor: I happened to overhear you. I just wanted to say my outburst cannot be justified! Please accept this small gift, a token of my contrition. The Rune of Life has attuned to me, and I wanted to share its power with you. From now onward, when we head into battle together, you will be recovering health. Plenty of health!
Kai: I thank you for this generous gift, Alvanor. Still, it is you who needs to recover...
Alvanor: Silence! This matter isn't up for discussion. I need to think something over. I'll see you tomorrow.
Dark Alvanor[]
Intro
Alvanor: Day by day, we encountered the corruption. Time and again, we enraged the faithful Guardians of the Old Grove. The corruption followed us. And so, I finally understood. I... am the source of the corruption!
Thea: No... No! How is that possible?
Alvanor: Century after century, deep in my slumber, I was corrupted without ever realizing it. The vile taint spread as it waited for its time to come. Soon, it left the tomb. And now it is devouring me from within. Hour by hour, I am losing my very self. And so I have made my decision. If I myself am the enemy, my ailing, vile side must be defeated!
Battle
Dark Alvanor: I am the real you! Accept it already!
Outro
Alvanor: My friends and allies! At last, I can breathe freely. My mind is clear as day. I've purged my soul of corruption. It's time to purify the Old Grove.
Kai: Now this is the legendary hero in his true form!
Thea: Welcome to my grove, Alvanor! The corruption no longer stands a chance!
