*'''Basim:''' ''You were once imprisoned here?''
*'''Fuladh:''' ''Oh, no, I have never been inside. In fact, I have never stood close than this very place. It was from here that I would fly my kite high over these prison walls. It had an unique pattern, you see. One I stitched together with my father when I was just a boy. So here I came day after day, hoping for a gust that would take it high enough so that he would see it and know that I was here. I do not know if he ever did.''
*'''Basim:''' ''I know this pain. And I am sorry for yours.''
*'''Fuladh:''' ''I am not. Such pains forge our paths. Remind us of who we are. Who we can be.''
*'''Basim:''' ''Speaking of paths, I see only one. And it is not inviting.''
*'''Fuladh:''' ''No. We need to find a way to get you inside without being seen.''
*'''Basim:''' ''Could this help?''
Bsim showed Fuladh the token Beshi had given him earlier.
*'''Fuladh:''' ''Where did you get that?''
*'''Basim:''' ''Beshi. He told me these tokens command a high value among the common folk.''
*'''Fuladh:''' ''Indeed. You could perhaps bribe the guards to look the other way. Or enlist the help of some merchants.''
*'''Basim:''' ''I shall see what flavor best suits me.''

*'''Monk:''' ''Holy father, grant me guidance!''
Basim approached the man.
*'''Basim:''' ''What grief moves you to invoke your god so openly?''
*'''Monk:''' ''Ah! Perhaps my prayers have been answered. Could you help a humble monk pay his respects?''
*'''Basim:''' ''You are well armed for a monk.''
*'''Monk:''' ''I was a violent man in a former life, who now seeks to atone in service to God. Though I will admit, some of my old skills have served me well in performing His work.''
*'''Basim:''' ''I can respect a warrior who has found a higher calling. What is your need?''
*'''Monk:''' ''I seek a holy man buried in one of the older overgrown graves, but I cannot read the epitaphs written in your tongue.''
*'''Basim:''' ''A simple enough task. I will see what I can find.''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''"Benedict the Dark. A man of great appetites." I do not believe the Christians sanctify gluttony.''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''"Jon of Shiraz. He gambled more than he gained, but always shared his winnings." A generous man, but not one worthy of worship.''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''"Theodore the Bold, who held nothing sacred but remained consistent in his actions." Admirable to some perhaps, but he does not have the sound of a saint.''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''"Leo the Enlightened. His wisdom was only exceeded by his piousness." Ah, here is one deserving of some reverence.''
*'''Basim:''' ''Monk! I believe I have found your saint!''
[]
*'''Monk:''' ''God be praised! I must retrieve the bones before we are discovered.''
*'''Basim:''' ''I thouhgt you were here to pay respects, not rob a grave.''
*'''Monk:''' ''There is no theft. His bones belong to the Church and will do more good among the faithful than rotting in the ground.''
*'''Basim:''' ''If your church has no objection, then who am I to judge?''
*'''Monk:''' ''There is only One whose judgement matters, and I trust He will be forgiving.''
[]
*'''Soldier:''' ''Hey! Stop what you are doing!''
*'''Basim:''' ''Unfortunately, the Caliph's men are not so tolerant of unlicensed gravedigging.''
*'''Soldier:''' ''Explain yourselves, you filthy shits, or die!''
*'''Monk:''' ''They are guilty of worse crimes. God forgive me, but there are times when violence is the only answer.''
The monk readied his weapon, as did the guards and Basim.
*'''Basim:''' ''On that, we are agreed.''
[]
*'''Monk:''' ''You know not what you do!''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''There was no other way to resolve this. These kinds of men understand only violence and cruelty.''
*'''Monk:''' ''You have performed God's Will, my friend. He will surely bless you with good fortune.''
*'''Basim:''' ''I  answer to another calling ... but I will not turn down a bit of extra luck.''
====Leap of the Faithful====
*'''Child 1:''' ''You will break your neck!.''
*'''Child 2:''' ''You are going to get caught!''
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''Stop shouting at me!''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''Who is the brave little squirrel up there?''
*'''Child 1:''' ''He is not a squirrel, his name is "Young Eagle"! We should not have dared him to go up there, but he was being so boastful! Now we're all going to get in trouble!''
*'''Basim:''' ''I will get him down.''
[]
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''Give me a moment!''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''That child looks like he has gotten himself into a tricky situation.''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''The boy is quite a climber.''
[]
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''If you come close, I will jump!''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''My name is Basim, and I climbed up here without thinking it through. Do you think you could help me get down?''
They looked at each other before Basim continued.
*'''Basim:''' ''When I was your age, I did all kinds of foolish things to impress my friends.''
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''I did not do it for them, I did it for the Hidden Ones.''
*'''Basim:''' ''Ah. The Hidden Ones.''
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''Not everyone believes in them, but I do. They're the true protectors of the people. They were the ones who avenged my mother. Not the Caliph or his men. The Hidden Ones did that.''
*'''Basim:''' ''I see. And you thought this would get their attention? Climbing up here?''
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''I heard they can dive from great heights and not get hurt. But I cannot do something unless I see someone else do it first.''
*'''Basim:''' ''Do you think you can do it if I showed you?''
[]
*'''Basim:''' ''You see? I am unharmed! Now, you go!''
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''I cannot!''
*'''Basim:''' ''Yes, you can! Do not overthink it! You simply need to have faith!''
[]
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''I am ... fine! Gimme a second...''
*'''Basim:''' ''Are you hurt?''
[]
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''No ... nothing broken.''
*'''Basim:''' ''You are a fast learner!''
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''I told you. I can do anything if only someone shows me first.''
*'''Basim:''' ''That is a valuable talent. Be sure to have a good teacher next time you try something risky like that.''
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''You could teach me.''
*'''Basim:''' ''I am no teacher. I still have much to learn.''
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''No, you are a good teacher. You teach by example. A-are you.../''
*'''Basim:''' ''Seek me out when your voice begins to break. Then we will talk.''
[]
*'''Child 1:''' ''Wah, that was amazing! Come on, Hytham! Before the mu'azzin catches us!''
*'''Young Eagle:''' ''I am coming!''

The Exile's Plan

[Memory description:] Modu's identity is enough for you to find out the situation outside the city, and you decide to start with the Frontier Village.

  • Wei Yu's disciple: Prince Modu said these men were slavers. I won't hold back when I meet them.

[goes to the Frontier Village]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: The village is under attack! No doubt these are Touman's men.

[fighting begins, finds their leader, whose name keeps changing between Wulei and Wuleidihou, and will use Uluyjoti in a scene further along]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: If I can take down their leader, this raid will end faster.

[boss fight]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: You people are giving the Xiongnu a bad name. You enslave your own kin and even attack those you collude with? Where is your honor?
  • Wulei: You dare attack me? Do you know who I am? I'm Wulei, the Xiongnu prince!

[defeats dude]

  • Wulei: Please, don't kill me! I-I'm a prince! My life has value!
  • Wei Yu's disciple: I heard you the first time, prince. Tell me, are you the son of Touman Chanyu?
  • Wulei: Yes! Yes! You've heard of my father? If you let me go he'll be in your debt.
  • Wei Yu's disciple: I doubt he will honor that. He sent you to attack this village even though he claims to be friends with the Qin. I am also aware that your father enslaved his own people for profit.
  • Wulei: Who... Who are you? How do you know that?

[to themselves]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: I should let this rat go and follow him back to his hideout.

[frees him]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: Tell your father that his reckoning is at hand, that the Youxia are here to exact justice.
  • Wulei: Y-Youxia? I'll be sure to deliver that message!

[gets up and starts to leave, with the protag following them]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: I'll have to keep up while maintaining my cover.

[protag tails them, eavesdropping a few times, when Wulei stopped to talk to other Xiongnu]

  • Xiongnu scout: My prince, there you are! We thought we had lost you. We sent a few search parties to no avail.
  • Wulei: Your concern is appreciated, I wasn't sure if I could make it back alive...
  • Xiongnu scout: You are safe now, my prince. We will stay here and guard the perimeter.

[continues following them]

  • Xiongnu hunter: My prince, you are back! I am just about to hunt, would you care to join?
  • Wulei: Perhaps another time, I am exhausted today. But my father and I are grateful for the game you always provide.
  • Xiongnu hunter: You are too kind, my prince. Please, rest well.

[continues following them to where the clan is camped]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: Hmmm, so this is where Touman Chanyu resides. I'll need to find proof of their collusion with the Qin. Perhaps I can infiltrate the camp as a passing merchant.

[overhears a conversation between two herders as the protag enters the camp]

  • Prudent herder: Haven't seen this merchant before...
  • Proud herder: Another Qin merchant? They don't know when to quit.
  • Xiongnu guard: You! Where do you think you're going? You walk into our camp without wares and a weapon on your back, are you asking for an early death?
  • Wei Yu's disciple: I'm a peddling merchant... and I'm here to collect furs for trade. That is why I came empty handed.
  • Xiongnu guard: We weren't informed of any collection today. Who sent you?
  • Wei Yu's disciple: Duanhe, the Qin officer, sent me... Surely, you've heard of him? He works with Touman Chanyu.
  • Xiongnu guard: Duanhe? Why didn't you say so earlier? Go on then, but any funny business and you're out of here.

[protag goes to enter the main tent, only to be met with Wulei walking out of it]

  • Wulei: That- That is the Youxia! You dare enter my father's camp after what you did?

[escaping begins]

  • Xiongnu guard: You heard the prince! Kill that scoundrel! Don't let that Qin snake near our Prince!

[runs out of the village and into safety]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: I can't take on a whole village by myself. I should return in the evening when they are asleep.

[finds an abandoned camp]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: They've stopped pursuing. This seems like a good place to stake out until the sun goes down.

[time passes]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: Under the cover of night, they are less likely to spot an intruder. Grand General Meng Tian is counting on me to find evidence of their collusion with the Qin.

[returns to the camp, eavesdrops on a couple of herders]

  • Timid herder: We can't keep living like this. You promised me a good life! We're no better than slaves here.
  • Prudent herder: Shut it woman, do you want us dead?

[to themselves]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: None of them are safe even from their own people.

[overhears another conversation]

  • Proud herder 1: How are we going to overcome the Qin empire when we fight among ourselves? Why do we enslave our own people?
  • Proud herder 2: We pledged loyalty to Touman only because he's the strongest and we'll never be made slaves.

[infiltrates main tent, finds note]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: Touman Chanyu has ordered all the scattered tribes to gather here... This is bad, he's gathering forces.

[goes to another tent, overhears stuff and takes letter from tent]

  • Xiongnu guard: Hah, of course, you don't have to worry.
  • Purple soldier: If Touman keeps up his end of the deal, the next batch of supplies will be coming soon. And don't forget to hand him the missive in the tent. That letter is from my boss, Duanhe.
  • Xiongnu guard: Don't you worry, I will pass the message on if you keep those taels coming.
  • Purple soldier: Good, I'm meeting my boss at the western camp. You keep an eye on Touman and make sure he sticks to the plan.

Yang Duanhe's Secret Letter

Gather your forces on the west side of the wall. I'll personally create an opening for you to pass through.

-Duanhe
  • Wei Yu's disciple: An official agreement between the Qin Department of Immortality and Touman Chanyu! Signed, Duanhe. This is it. I need to get this to Grand General Meng Tian...

[leaves camp]

  • Wei Yu's disciple: I have the evidence for the Grand General, but this might be the only chance for me to catch Duanhe... There's no time for second guessing! For Chu Huan's sake... I'll end Duanhe myself.

[heads to the western camp] As you approach the western camp in search of Yang Duanhe, a group of Xiongnu raiders appear from the roadside, hoping to ambush a lonely traveler. [starts to fight off ambush]

  • Xiongnu raider: What luck, an easy target! Hand us everything you've got, even your clothes.
  • Wei Yu's disciple: Sorry, I'm not in a giving mood today.
  • Xiongnu raider: There's no one out here to save you, so be good, and we'll let you go easy.
  • Wei Yu's disciple: You raiders are persistent. I'll give you that. But I won't give up just yet...

[protag keeps killing the cannon fodder, but more keep arriving]

  • Xiongnu raider: You really think you can take on all of us?
  • Wei Yu's disciple: How many of them are there? They just keep coming. I can't... keep up...

You clear another wave of Xiongnu warriors, but it seems endless. As fatigue catches up to you, a sudden hail of arrows takes out the oncoming warriors. Modu and his men arrive. He tells the survivors to bring word back to his father that Prince Modu has returned. As they flee, he comes to speak to you.

  • Modu: I have important news. Our scouts have confirmed that the Qin forces have gathered our tribes to the west.
  • Wei Yu's disciple: The west is where I am headed as well. I found evidence, solid evidence, that will get the Grand General on our side.
  • Modu: Good, but you may not make it back in time to your General in time. If my scouts are right, they will attack the wall soon. Seems to be a distraction, to lure your General out. For what reason, I do not know. And I fear my father cares little for their true intent if he can fatten his belly and grow his fortune. Get to Tulu pass [sic] as soon as you can. I have also sent word to your friend, she will be on her way to meet you.
  • Wei Yu's disciple: Thank you, Prince Modu. You have saved my life and guided me through your lands.
  • Modu: It was you who saved my life first. Now you can tell your friends that you have a Prince in your debt.
  • Wei Yu's disciple: You are no mere prince. It would do the Xiongnu good for you to become their next King. I pray we meet again.

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.
