Important moments for me to consider in Empee:
In the Mirabilous Ocean, Dyne challenges Lance in a duel. Despite his extraordinary power, Dyne is still unable to defeat Lance.
Facing Sigma, Cralon, with the remembered advice of Omicron as well as Esiphe's help, is able to control his rage and defeat Sigma.
Having joined the rest of the heroes, Dyne and Lance attempt to unite all races of the world to stop the plans of the Sages. However, Rhadamanthus, king of the undead is the sages most powerful ally. Not only to prevent him from marching his army of fiends against them, but to also gain the support of the fiends, he must be defeated. Upon learning this decision, Gelandel, hero of the Muses, approaches Rigju, his enemy among the heroes from the beginning, but no longer wishes to compete.
"I know you feel it... it's inside us both."
"Yes, I do. The righteous anger. He should have been ours!"
"But you know how strong he is. As clever as you are, even you aren't a match for him. But he was."
"Now I understand why you've come, but it is a waste. I could never... with a Muse. I refuse."
"Do you think it would be easy for me?! I'd never believed it possible, but then I remembered him. Do you know that I can't forget, because of him, because of you? I, the hero of the Muses, can save the world, but I will never attain purity, never create the perfect beauty. But the drive for revenge gives me strength, I'm willing, and I know you are as well. You must be."
"You could die you know. No Muse has ever joined with a Fiend before."
"No Muse ever had the desire. I am strong enough."
"Then it is settled. 500 years... to finally be freed of that shame. He will fall at last."
