"I greet you in the Light once again, Guardian. You have prevented another Whirlwind, and brought honor to the title of Slayer Baron."

"I am now Kell of Kells, but I do not embrace it with four arms. Though I feel the Light flow through me once more, I fear the God of Pain will always be with me. A lingering note of discord in my blood."

"I thought to make Eramis or Variks Kell of Kells, but they refused. Eramis offered me the Echo, but I could not accept. It has chosen her."

"Eido would keep the Echo in Sol, to clarify the Ether of the Scorn… but it is too great a threat. We cannot risk another mass corruption."

"Instead, Eramis will take the Echo far from this system. Perhaps she can finally create a new Eliksni homeworld, as she always dreamed."

"Besides, House Light has all it needs here: kin, allies, and the Great Machine above."
