Yi: "Who are you really? you're not from this world. What are you really? I'm pretty sure you [Halcyone] are a so called creation of science. And you [V]... A mystical shapeshifter. Your true form seems to be a dragon, or some variation on it, I think."


Yi: "so why are you here?"

Yi: "Because its the obvious goal. The one most likely to cause conflicting motives. And I work best from the shadows."

"My patron prefers to remain anonymous. Let's just say I'm working with them for my own interests."
Yi: "How inconvenient."

Yi: "If I wove it from magic, it would be new-born, wouldn't it? The old occupant is gone. Just like Yi."
