“Can you hear me down there, LAVOS? Do you know who I am?

I’m not surprised. The name I once had, you stole from me.
As well my sister… my foolish mother…my home…

...But look at me now. Look at what I have built:
The blood in this summoning circle is my own;
every stone in this castle was laid by my own hand.
And I have killed hundreds—no, thousands—
practicing for the day I would see you again.

Do you know what they call me now?
I am Magus. Fiendlord. Scourge of all humankind.
And today, I will kill a god.

Nothing to say? No matter. You’ll be with me soon.

Neuga. Ziena. Zieber.

…Zom.

...

Yes! The spell grows stronger. I can feel it—the black wind.
The beast is close! Just a bit more…
...

This is it. Come Lavos, and meet your fate.

...

Wait. Something’s…not right.
Who is there?
Is this some kind of a trick?
...

Is this the end? Was I not strong enough?
Twenty years toiling in darkness.
Twelve thousand years away from home.
All my days of living spent plotting death,
yet I couldn’t even prevent my own.
No matter.
If history is to change, let it change.
If the world is to perish, let it perish.
If my fate is to die…

(laughs)

This isn’t my fate.
I am Magus. Fiendlord. Scourge of all humankind.
And today, I will kill a god.”
