*'''Basim:''' ''Why were you giving commands to Wasif Al-Turki? A member of the Order?'' | |||
*'''Muhammad:''' ''The brute was stoking the fire of a thousand rebellions. Thankfully someone spared me the trouble of putting him down. A Hidden One, I heard. Are you the one to thank?'' | |||
*'''Basim:''' ''I read your letters. You forced your cousins to remove their protection from Alamut. You sold us out to our enemies!'' | |||
*'''Muhammad:''' ''And brought peace to Baghdad. You've already helped yourself to the receipt.'' | |||

*''' | *'''Roshan:''' ''Basim. Have you investigated your three subjects? If not, then your work is not complete. You appear decided, Basim. What have you learned?'' | ||
*'''Basim:''' ''Arib is innocent. The Governor, less so. He made a deal with the Order and removed his cousins' protection from Alamut.'' | |||
*'''Roshan:''' ''Tabban (damn it), just as we had feared. We've been bared to our enemies.'' | |||

*'''Roshan:''' ''Qabiha will meet swift justice. And I will be the one to deliver it.'' | |||
*'''Basim:''' ''What? What are you saying?'' | |||
*'''Roshan:''' ''That a more seasoned hand is needed. The last time you entered a palace, you left it in disarray. To put it lightly.'' | |||
*'''Basim:''' ''Have I not proven myself since? Master, I have earned the right--'' | |||
*'''Roshan:''' ''Earned what? The right to kill?'' | |||
[] | |||
*'''Basim:''' ''No, no, that is not--'' | |||
*'''Roshan:''' ''A blow from one of us is a blow for all of us. Or does your ego demand the honor?'' | |||
[] | |||
*'''Basim:''' ''It is not ego, Master. It is duty. I took an oath to leave my life behind, to walk the shadows and to serve the light. I mean to.'' | |||

*'''Nehal:''' ''Always. So you will swallow your questions, strike at her enemies, serve without complaint... and live your life dogged by a jinni in the hovel you once hoped to escape! You know where to find me when your "duty" is done.'' | |||

*'''Basim:''' ''So many dead, or disappeared. And each trail of blood leads back to you. Al-Bahamut. The last mask to be lifted. You set Wasif on the rebels, unleashed Al-Ghul, sold your son's corwn to seize Alamut. And all for what? Some worthless token of a long-forgotten age? No matter. I will see you at the palace. And I will cut the Head from the Snake.'' | |||

[] | |||
*'''Basim:''' ''Whatever lies within carries grave importance. For the Hidden Ones, for the Order of the Ancients, for me. What have we walked into? Where has my path brought me?'' | |||

*'''Basim:''' ''No... Why am I seeing this?'' | |||
[] | |||
*'''Basim:''' ''This space... As I move through it, I see nothing but the memories that stir my soul. In these moments of adversity is when I felt the jinni nearest. That unrelenting fear. Paralyzing me in my weakest state. I never understood what it was born of, or why it haunted me so. But I am beginning to remember. I am in a cold cell. Begging for it all to stop. Who I once was may seek retribution. But if I am to move beyond this pain, then what I want is peace. It is time to put an end to this.'' | |||
[] | |||

Basim turned to face Nehal and walked towards her. | |||
*'''Basim:''' ''All my life I wrestled with who I was. Who I was meant to be. And there you were. All this time. The side of me I resisted. A reflection of who we ... once were.'' | |||

It festered for years, in darkness and dreams... masked as a jinni, to haunt me and hollow me until it consumed my waking life. But I have faced my past. My pain. Embraced it. I shed my skin once, in another time, another place. But I am whole again. I remember. And as for those who thought to bind me... should any of the still walk the earth, I so look forward to our reunion. But until that day... a new world awaits.'' | |||

Battle at the Wall
[Memory description:] Yang Duanhe is in Tulu Pass, between the Great Wall and the Frontier. For Chu Huan, for Jade Spring, you must settle the score with him... [protag arrives at Great Wall Junction]
- Wei Yu's disciple: Prince Modu said he sent Yingying this way as well, she should be nearby.
[approaches her]
- Yu Ying: It seems that heir collusion goes way back...
[she notices protag]
- Yu Ying: There you are! I've been searching for Jingjing but she's proven to be rather elusive.
- Wei Yu's disciple: She said she didn't want to get involved with us. Maybe we should leave her be.
- Yu Ying: I'm just worried... either way, Modu sent me a message to get here, and I found something way worse... That man, Duanhe, he's here. And they've smuggled a hill's worth of oil barrels to blow up the wall.
- Wei Yu's disciple: These people know no loyalty. A Qin soldier blowing up the wall, and colluding with the Xiongnu...
- Yu Ying: Whatever it is they've planned isn't good. We have to stop them.
- Wei Yu's disciple: What they did to our village, we can't let that happen again.
[goes to destroy the explosives at Tulu Pass, sees Qin soldiers and Xiongnu fighting there.]
- Qin soldier: You will never strike us down! The Qin will defend our territory.
[enters a warehouse and destroys some of the explosives] [helps the Qin]
- Qin soldier: Barbarians! Strike them down!
[destroys some more]
- Wei Yu's disciple: They've already transported some barrels to the wall. I should destroy those as well.
[climbs up, destroys those, but hears/sees an explosion]
- Wei Yu's disciple: Was I too late? Yingying might be in trouble.
[goes to the source, finding Yang Duanhe messing with the explosives] As you approach Yang Duanhe, he recognizes you and promises to kill you as he killed Chu Huan. He throws an explosive your way but before it reaches you, Yu Ying appears from above and kicks it away, endangering herself as it explodes. In the smoke, Yang Duanhe flees and an injured Yu Ying implores you to follow him. [jarring scene transition to an exploded section of the wall, where the protag goess to fight Yang Duanhe]
- Wei Yu's disciple: I swear, on the memory of my brother, today will be your last.
- Yang Duanhe: Big talk for someone who lost to me before. Let's see how you fare against my bombs, I've been itching to test them.
- Wei Yu's disciple: Why did you attack our village? Who do you serve?
- Yang Duanhe: Hah, and why would I tell you anything? You are but an ant in the grand scheme of things.
- Wei Yu's disciple: You will regret messing with the Youxia.
- Yang Duanhe: Oh here we go again, with the righteous talk. You people are sickening.
Disgusting worm, don't you know when to give up? Stop getting in my way. - Wei Yu's disciple: Quit running, you coward! I will chase you till the ends of the earth even if I have to.
[he escapes, protag climbs up the wall after him, having to deal with guards along the way]
- Purple sergeant: Stay back! Come no further!
- Wei Yu's disciple: Your purple garments only fuel my anger. I remember how you slaughtered the weak.
[keeps going towards Duanhe]
- Purple sergeant: Don't you know who you're up against?
- Wei Yu's disciple: This is for what you did to my village!
[keeps going towards Duanhe]
- Yang Duanhe: Argh... I can't... anymore...
[i think there was another voice here, but it all mixes together and there's no subs for that]
- Wei Yu's disciple: The Fox huh, seems like even Duanhe answers to someone.
You overpower Yang Duanhe and drive your blade through his chest. As Yang Duanhe brethes his last, a figure in a fox mask attempts to assassinate you, but quick reflexes allow you to parry the incoming blade, giving you the chance to engage them in combat. [fight begins against the "Masked Person"]
- Wei Yu's disciple: So, you're the one in charge... the one pulling the strings under the Grand General's nose.
- Fox: Hmph. What do you know? You're just a pathetic Youxia. Stay out of my way.
- Wei Yu's disciple: You pit the Qin and Xiongnu against each other, for what end? We are not your pawns!
- Fox: There are only two types of people in this world, the sheep or the slaughterer. What are you?
- Wei Yu's disciple: I'm your slaughterer!
- Fox: A slaughterer takes. A sheep gives. You, who so boldly claim to take, are no better than the rest of us. Do not act righteous when your hand are soaked with the blood of a thousand sheep.
Your next move knocks the Fox's mask off, revealing Nie Jing's face. Yu Ying and Meng Tian arrive and Nie Jing pulls out the stolen treasure from Yangzhou Palace. A magical shield deflects your blades, shattering and dazzling you. When the stars fade from your vision, she's gone. [protag follows Meng Tian and Yu Ying, while Cyf does not stop opening the menus to make my work harder]
- Wei Yu's disciple: My search has led me to believe that the Department of Immortality has been manipulating the Xiongnu. I found a written agreement between Toumman Chanyu and Yang Duanhe.
- Meng Tian: An agreement signed by Duanhe is not enough evidence to persecute the court official in charge. I have looked outwards for far too long... and now the foundations of our empire crumbles. But I won't stay idle, not when my family's position is threatened at court and this country rots from within. I have news that the Department of Immortality has dealings in Shangjun. I seek an eagle. A swift and wary hunter to keep track of a fox that has long evaded my sight.
- Wei Yu's disciple: Then an eagle I shall be, and I will not stop until the fox [sic] has paid the price of betrayal.
- Meng Tian: Good. Head to North Shangjun Garrison and Fushi Clay Mine. Find out whatever you can.
