An Audience With Mystra (Gale Romance) - Baldur's Gate 3

helminster oh hello my boy no don't mind me I'm just enjoying a lung full of bull terrier now yeah the distinctive Aroma although perhaps not one worthy of bottling I hear you've been browsing in the most esteemed of emporiums sorceress undress uh indulge my curiosity what wonders did you discover there I trusted he would be sensible enough to exercise caution in this matter and to seek the truth by now you are aware of the evil we are up against sources pestilent Crown the very tool with which its eponymous Creator unmaid an Empire and Magic itself perhaps now you understand what is at stake here my boy though what Mr asked of you was extreme it was not without Merit nor demanded lightly what are you saying or rather what are you not saying Mr knows you to fight her Gail of course she knows she's mistra she bids you come to her holy Shrine in the storm short Tabernacle there she will grant you an audience Mr is willing to speak to me again was this your doing elmidster she knows what I see in you just as I know what she sees in you I was not born an old man I know all too well what it's like to have a goddess fill your heart with longing looking at you it's like gazing into a mirror that shows centuries long past the past is the past elminster and the future is well still to be decided by me not by mistra if there is another way I trust you can find it it is not in your nature your mind just stop looking to accept the first answer to when he died ammo do what you can put that mind to work trust in yourself trust in the weave if you are willing trust in mistra there is a conclusion yet to be written in this sorry tale Gale of waterdeep and yours is the quill that will write it let's move so all it took to get mistress attention was to learn how to reforge an artifact that once destroyed her it's obvious when you stop to think about it well I doubt it's an apology for asking me to die on her behalf whatever it is but it's important enough to send elminster you'd be damn sure she's serious this is a conversation that's long overdue on both sides I owe it to her to hear her out come what may afterwards after you [Music] these boots have seen everything thank you won't feel it [Music] mistress likeness and sometimes since I stood before her in a place like this here we go there she stands just as animals to promised Destroyer goddess of the weave mother of all magic the old man wasn't lying she's opened the summoning Channel Can you feel it Gail's right the very air around the statue crackles with magic it sets your teeth on edge dream of pure undiluted weave I only have to reach out and I will carry me to mistra wherever she may be go on then Gail we'll be here waiting for you when you're finished time was I'd have given my right arm for a chance to speak with Mr again the left one too maybe a knee am I you're right I am a strong capable wizard has no more than a casual reunion with an ex-lover my omnipotent omniscient ex-lover I always wonder what being nervous would feel like I hate it during my time locked away in waterdeep I prepared a quite comprehensive speech for her on the subject of our former relationship and the manner in which it ended last recent events have rendered the majority of it moves so I'm gonna have to improvise unless you have any words of wisdom to impart before I go summoning Channel Mr has provided is one only I can enter no matter how much I prefer not to face her alone you're right a heartfelt apology is the surest way to a goddess's heart and her favor I pray that she'll be in a forgiving mood if she weren't the one I'd be praying to I'll only be gone for a matter of moments the Outer Planes experience time quite differently to our own wait for me please [Music] foreign you look well I never thought we'd speak again like this why am I here there is much unsaid between us but time runs ever short you discovered what lies at the heart of the absolute crown of course and you disobeyed my instruction why why I didn't want to die and when I saw the crown I thought I might not have to if I only understood its power and you believe you have the right to such an understanding the past cannot be undone with self-pity nor can a future be forged only with the truth will you see the way ahead the fragment of magic you try to return to me was not of my creation it was the car site weave it is a corrupted half-borne magic wrought in the brief moment cars ascended to godhood hungers for power just as he did and it can never be stated you Unleashed something that would consume all magic in existence and yet you thought only of preserving yourself can't be it wasn't I only wish to prove myself Worthy I had no idea you were already Worthy what you lacked was patience and it cost you dearly when the car site weave entered your body your gifts were the first thing it consumed the only reason the orb sleeps is because I have allowed it to feed on the True Weave temporary measure but one that will not be enough to save us with each day that passes the Elder brain threatens to become a new kind of God it's worshipers a scourge of soulless illicits if you will not use the orb to end this abomination then you must find a way to separate crown and host when you've done this you must surrender the crown of causes to me I won't let you down again with the absolute is vanquished I will surrender karsus's powers to you you have my word thank you May the weaves light guide your purpose and its wisdom guide your hand the future of magic rests on your shoulders Gale of waterdeep I promise you it is the burden you are strong enough to bear foreign foreign and what you felt was but the slightest drop drawn from the Russian torrent that is the weave I confess now my former prowess even I struggle to stand her presence on the Mortal body of such unfattered magical exposure cannot be overestimated she held back in order to protect us to make sure I heard her last night weave within me this whole time I knew the orb was no ordinary ball of magic before it to be karsus's malignant creation gods how did I not see that um true enough there's a reason such unwitting Heroes have been the backbone of lyric and legend for as long as both have existed even so it was hardly some naive Apprentice at the time instead of myself an archmage it was full enough to be mistaken for a common Conjurer at least now I'm armed with the truth and mistress expectations once I bring the crown of casters to her I can put everything right the orb too I'll be myself again for all that's worth thank you there aren't many I'd trust to stand beside Beyond such a journey if you were still who would do so because they believed I deserved such a chance if I could promise you one thing in return for your faith in me it's this I will use everything in my power to ensure we defeat this evil I will not let you down now I believe we have a date with an elder brain to get to shall we are you all right if you need me just say the word strangely no once a mere glimpse of her face would have been enough to turn my insides over but not this time in her likeness I used to read a thousand stories she was Beauty wisdom Elegance power to contain universes but now as hard to see any redeeming qualities and a lover who condemned you to death I'd much rather gaze into your eyes than hers yours are capable of tenderness and feeling no God could ever compare I've often asked myself the same question never really found a satisfactory answer clearly see something in me that I can't the wisdom and intelligence required to overcome almost insurmountable odds perhaps all the stupidity required to attempt it I take it as a compliment either way you don't get to be 13 centuries old without becoming a sound judge of character and cheese apparently I regret many things in my life choosing to be here intact and unexploded it's not one of them for now to have a few more days in your company no I wouldn't change a thing I hope you don't think less of me great ambition should not come at the expense of what you already hold dear I see that now what divine calculus plucked each of us from The Ether and thrust us together I don't deserve you truly but I will do my utmost to earn the right was there anything else you wish to discuss there's nothing that would give me greater pleasure and a loss really people have always commented on my confidence sometimes my overconfidence in one particularly Cutthroat assessment of the University my abject and incorrigible self-delusion hmm to put my faith in someone else and trust that we will find a better way together it's rather new experience for me what I'm enjoying for the most part but a new one nonetheless no matter after all Bond like ours hardly needs words to express it what else is troubling you
