Eve
“And so another ‘Endbringer’ attack begins.”
Adam
“Come now, Eve, you almost sound disappointed. Surely I mishear?”
Eve
“You do.”
Adam
“I know I do. After all, you and I both know how important these events are.”
Eve
“Of course.”
(Eve pauses)
“I notice this is a new one.”
Adam
“Why yes it is! How lovely!”
Eve
“The Endbringer?”
Adam
“Well, I do think it has a rather striking aesthetic, but no. I was referring to you, my dearest Eve.”
Eve
“Me?”
Adam
“But of course! After all, you don’t always notice when I create a new one. It’s refreshing to see your attention focused on matters beyond your path. Why, I think the last time you noticed was—”
Eve
“The Rukh.”
Adam
“Ha! You feign disinterest in this cruel necessity, but your memory belies your true interest.”
Eve
“Your observations fool you, Adam.”
Adam
“Oh? Do tell.”
Eve
“Occasional notice doesn’t mean interest. You know where my focus is.”
(Adam chuckles)
Adam
“Forgive me, would you, love? You are such a diligent workhorse that I can’t help but be excited when you take notice of my work. I know all too well that you are focused on orchestrating the board and the pieces. I wish there was more I could do to help you…”
Eve
“Cain has reduced my burden.”
(Adam chuckles again)
Adam
“So you say, yet you work at the same frenetic pace! Ah, but you know I’m teasing you. Our little bundle of joy just freed you up to focus on other paths.”
Eve
“Is there a point to all of this?”
Adam
“I seem to have ruffled your feathers! Don’t worry, don’t worry—I’ll cut to the chase. Having brought another of my ‘monstrosities,’ as you call them, into play leaves me… curious if you’ve arrayed an opposition.”

Eve
“You mean another champion.”
Adam
“Yes.”
Eve
“The Triumvirate is still whole.”
Adam
“Don’t play coy, love. If I’m aware of how close Dragon is getting to proof of our existence, then you must be as well. Besides, it wouldn’t be the first time you’ve replaced one of them. We can kill two birds with one stone!”
(Eve sighs)
Eve
“Yes.”
Adam
“Oh? So you have arranged something special?”
Eve
“Yes.”
Adam
“I’d ask you for more than monosyllabic answers… but I do like a good surprise, so I’ll leave you to your games. After all, what’s the harm in having a little fun with our work, hm? And speaking of…!”
(Adam rubs his hands together eagerly)
“It’s time to slay a dragon.”
