• That is truly sad.
• I've been pondering whether it's possible to resist the darkness within the Dream, or whether we're all doomed to become like the Nightmare Court.
• Have you heard her? Galina's really excited to be here. She's jawing like a cub.
• Forgive my intrusion.
• Those of us who awakened during the Night Cycle walk hand in hand with darkness. We understand it as few others do. We embrace it.
• Peacemaker's Short Bow
• Are you evil?
• We all have darkness inside, intermingled with light. Given enough pressure, the possibility exists within us all that we may give in to the seduction of nightmare.
• Darkness is not your enemy.
• I try not to think about it.
• I know you're right. I'm a Night bloom like you, after all. I travel in shadow. The dark is not evil, in and of itself, but don't you worry that the shadows will become too deep?
• Perhaps the answer is a lifetime of vigilance.
• As little as possible.
• Yes, you make an interesting point. The Night bloom who is ever vigilent will not stumble too far into darkness. Oh, what a precarious path we walk.
• Peacemaker's Speargun
• Rest beneath the canopy of the Garden of Night. I will keep your presence here a secret, if you so wish.
• A kind offer.
• Quartermaster Hargrove
• Talk to the residents of the nearby town.
• We Night blooms believe your secrets are your own, and because we understand the need to move beyond detection at times, we don't question which shadows you choose.
• And Night blooms have many secrets?
• Let's take them down.
• I am the keeper of secrets. I help those born under the Cycle of Night, keeping their confidence, and maintaining a safe environment for them here.
• Sounds like a great responsibility. I should leave you to it.
• Those born in the Cycle of Night are naturally shy of the light. They're usually very private about their affairs. I'm sure you wouldn't understand.
• I understand just fine.
• Time to blow all this mess sky high. Have we got all the explosives set?
• Gearblade
• Gizmo
• Great Gearblade
• Gearbow
• Steam Hammer
• Steam Bow
• Steam Mace
• So it is. We Noon blooms are vigorous and require plenty of space in which to spar and practice.
• This is going to be a battle like none other!
• May the sunshine warm your shoulders. You look as if you've seen a few adventures. You're welcome to stay and rest awhile with us Noon blooms.
• Noon blooms? What does that mean?
• Not now, I'm afraid. I have much to do.
• Of course, you wouldn't know! I'm sorry. All of my kind are born during one of four cycles: Dawn, Noon, Dusk, or Night. Your cycle affects your personality, we've found.
• You and Galina will be fighting side-by-side instead of against each other.
• I'm not sure I've got time for the rest of this.
• For example, Dawn blooms have a talent for diplomacy. For Noon blooms, it's action. Dusk blooms often pursue more scholarly activities, and no one knows the shadows like Night blooms.
• How does this happen?
• You're sure you want to do this? It will be dangerous for you both.
• Our mentors teach that one's cycle—the time of day one awakens from the Dream—imprints certain qualities upon us. Of course, there's always free will.
• Yeah! Let's get out of here!
• It does this old knot of a warrior good to be back in the Grove. I've been too far away and for too long.
• Where have you been?
• Don't worry. I'll protect her. She'll never notice it—wouldn't accept it if she did. But I'll be there.
