MarazhaiMarazhai casually gestures with his hand, either welcoming you or inviting you to admire the brutalised hall. "At last! I was beginning to think that your lumbering bucket had perished on the way back! Such a resolution would have satisfied neither you nor me, would it?"

AbelardThe sight of a xenos lounging on the dynastic throne makes Abelard's face turn crimson. "What... How did... You will cease defiling a relic of the Imperium with your presence, xenos scum!"
Marazhai"What, this abomination?" The Drukhari taps a finger on the armrest. "With pleasure. But first, I will finish my conversation with your master, mon-keigh."

MarazhaiThe Drukhari freezes for a moment. "Oh, I can feel your anger... your rage... and your pain from witnessing the state of your halls. I trusted that you would appreciate our efforts here. I could have long vanished in the tangles of the Webway without awaiting your arrival, mon-keigh... but I could not refuse myself the small pleasure of savouring your torment at the sight of what I have done to your home."
YOU"You deceived me when you appointed the place of our final battle!"
Marazhai"Deceived? Equals can be deceived — but you I merely used. You played the part given to you perfectly — you were exactly where you were supposed to be, and did exactly what you were supposed to do. Everything except die."

YOU"Why did you attack the palace?"
Marazhai"The sole thing that your kind is good for, mon-keigh, is your ability to suffer. I have long been surfeited with physical pain — your kin provide it in abundance from their cages in Commorragh. The pain of the soul, on the other hand... is a rare delight. After all, I had to recompense you for all the trouble you have caused me."
Marazhai"However, did I not give you a gracious gift as well? That pesky, meddling Tazarra who harrowed your little worlds for so long... you have garnered her head, and I — a peaceful existence where she is not constantly in my way." He gives you a thin smile. "To die at the hands of a mon-keigh is the worst possible punishment for a champion of the gladiatorial arenas of Commorragh. Her final moments were torturous."
YOU"One xenos is down. One more remains."
Marazhai"Do not get greedy, mon-keigh — you should be satisfied with the handouts that I so kindly throw you."
Marazhai"Now that our meeting has taken place, my business here is done. I have spent enough time in realspace, and it is time to bid you goodbye."

YOU"Tazarra was under the impression that we were working together — what nonsense did you put in her head?"
Marazhai"Mm? The pompous waste of skin thought that I would associate with mon-keigh? I wish I did not leave her death to you and instead cut out her heart myself. Still, to take note of my interest in your person was quite perceptive — even more so for a brainless arena Wych."

YOU"Do you have any idea how much your raid has cost me? One tanned xenos hide won't be enough to pay for the damage!"

Marazhai"You are still with him/her, cousin?" Marazhai's voice is dripping with saccharine mockery. "How fares your search for your lost family? Or is being at a mon-keigh's beck and call occupying all your thoughts and time?"
Yrliet"You will be silent, Dark One, or I will silence you myself!"
