Words of the Constant

You're really pushing your luck.

You insolent, pitiful, insignificant ant!

You will regret coming any further...

Do not arouse the wrath of the Great Maxwell!

Where would be the sport in that?

Who do you think allowed you to make that?

Is this what you were expecting?

Just dust. And the void. And Them.

I've learned so much since then. I've built so much.

But even a King is bound to the board.

You can't change the rules of the game.

I don't know what they want. They... they just watch.

Unless you get too close. Then...

Well, there's a reason I stay so dapper.

What year is it out there? Time moves differently here.

Go on, stay a while. Keep us company.

Or put the key in the box. It's your decision.

Forgive me if I don't get up.

Either way, you're just delaying the inevitable.

Reality is like that, sometimes.

I think I've said enough.

...

You've been an interesting plaything, but I've grown tired of this game.

Or maybe They've grown tired of me.

Heh. Took them long enough.

They'll show you terrible, beautiful things.

It will change you, like it did me.

It's best not to fight it.

There wasn't much here when I showed up.

Well, this is it.

Don't you think I've tried that?

This is the end of the line. We have no escape.

You found me. Now, what are you going to do?

All I want in return is a truce.

Say, pal.

I'll give you food, gold, pigs, whatever you need.

Let's make a deal. You can stay here. Settle down, even.

The throne won't allow that. I've tried.

Is this how it ends?

Ah, I am a fool. I had dared to hope.

Thank you. I have been listening to that song for an eternity.

I guess I deserve that.

Fine. Just remember that you chose this.

It's just that...

I've become accustomed to winning.

We're not so different, you and I.

Oh, did you think you were the first?

HA!

That's why I brought you here.

That's why I brought all of them here.
