Dialogue

KeeperHello... how's everything going?

HerbertVery peaceful... though my legs seem to be getting weaker.

NunDon't worry. We'll get you a new chair... something more comfortable.

KeeperMaybe what you need is more walking.

HerbertYou might be right. I was even thinking of returning to my old post... just part-time.

NunThat's nonsense, with your condition.

NunDo you want me to just leave you be... and deliver your body to the Keeper?

HerbertNo, no, Agatha... there's still so many books you can read to me.

NunThat's the right attitude, Herbert. And our friend the Keeper will be happy to help us.

NunHe can build the most comfortable chair for you... right?

KeeperYes... of course. That won't be a problem.
I need your help

Comfortable chair

KeeperHere it is — the most comfortable chair I could come up with.

NunSay thank you, Herbert.

HerbertYes, yes... of course. Thank you, Keeper!

KeeperI know you've finally found some peace.

KeeperYou've fought enough battles in your life.

KeeperBut all of it could be meaningless, unless you help me save the world.

NunI know my prayers aren't enough... I'll have to teach Herbert how to pray properly!

KeeperPrayers may help... but this is bigger than that. The very foundation of the world is in danger.

KeeperAnd I'm the only one who can save it... with your help, of course.

HerbertOh, I see what this is. He's rehearsing the dramatic part from his trilogy.

NunHe's not bad, I have to admit. Very heroic tone.

KeeperNo, this is real. I need to complete the magic portal, stop the zombies, and help the Old God.

NunShame on you... that sounds like old beliefs and superstitions.

HerbertYou know, Agatha... the Keeper has earned my trust.

KeeperYou'll easily see it's all true... and if you help me, you can each ask the portal for a wish.

NunWe already have everything we need... but Herbert is right. You've earned our trust. We'll help you.

HerbertWhat do we need to do?

KeeperStand beside me when I gather all the portal fragments.

KeeperI'll assemble them at the Astrologer's house by the port.

HerbertI don't much like that fellow... but we'll be there.

KeeperThank you. The trouble is, the final fragment is in the Palace... and I'll have to fight my way in.

KeeperWith all the faith and blessings in the world... plus my army... I'll still need your help to succeed.

NunBut what can an old nun do?

HerbertHmm... I bet the old head of the guard can do something.

HerbertI'll talk to the quartermaster. I bet he can find some extra space for your defensive equipment.

HerbertAnd the mercenaries owe me a favor... You can use them in this battle.

NunThe only thing I have to give you is my blessing, Keeper.

KeeperThank you... it means a lot.

HerbertAre you sure you don't need anything?

NunNo, you just sit and relax. You're safe here... don't wear yourself out.

NunI'll be back soon, and read to you some more.

HerbertThat sounds terrific. Meanwhile, maybe I'll take a short walk... visit my old guards.

NunAbsolutely not. They're a terrible influence on you.

HerbertMy life has become too calm. I'm starting to think you're protecting me a little too much...

NunI just don't want to lose you, Herbert. I've already lost so much.

NunNow relax and think of the next story you're going to tell me.

NunThe Keeper's device will write it down.

NunAnd then I'll have a part of you forever.

HerbertAlright, Agatha... I'd hate to upset you.
Bad dream, Keeper?

KeeperYes... not a pleasant one. A disturbing dream about my friends.
Maybe it's time for you to help them.
