Corndog x Azura A
Music: The Water Maiden
AZURA: Hi, Corndog. Are you here to continue with our chat from the other day?
CORNDOG: Indeed I am! We've already covered Nohr and Hoshido, so we should talk about—-
AZURA: NO!! Sorry, I mean... You know how it works. You can't say anything here...
AZURA: I can take us there through the lake, and then we can talk.
CORNDOG: Oh, of course. What was I thinking?
AZURA: We'll be there in just another few moments.
AZURA: ...
(It's really not explained at any point, but we can just go to some safe part of Valla through Cutscene Lake. I'm not even going to question it at this point.)
*whoosh*
AZURA: And here we are. Easy enough.
CORNDOG: It's still so strange to see this place. It's unlike anything in Hoshido or Nohr.
AZURA: Now that we're in Valla, we can safely talk about it. It...is what you wanted to talk about, right?
CORNDOG: Yes. I don't know why the curse slipped my mind.
AZURA: You know, Corndog, it isn't really the Kingdom of Valla that is a problem.vThe entire conflict is a result of the will of Anankos.
CORNDOG: That's right... Anankos, the King of Valla.
CORNDOG: I was only able to find the occasional mention of him in ancient texts. Usually he was referred to as a sort of god, right?
AZURA: Whether he is a demon or a god, I am not sure, but he possesses incredible power.
AZURA: I've heard a legend about how, long ago, a powerful entity gave humans great power.
AZURA: In return, he required their faithfulness. Though this alliance was meant to last for all time, the humans did not honor it.
AZURA: Over time they discovered and acquired power from other sources. As they did this, they slowly abandoned the entity that had aided them. Insulted by this betrayal, the being went berserk.
CORNDOG: And that being... It was Anankos?
AZURA: There is no way to know for sure, sadly. It would explain why he's out to destroy Nohr and Hoshido, though.
CORNDOG: What a sad story.
AZURA: We've talked about the conflict between Nohr and Hoshido... This story teaches us what can result from holding a grudge for too long.
CORNDOG: I agree. We have to focus on what we can do to improve the world...
CORNDOG: It may mean that we sometimes have to fight, but it doesn't always have to. Anytime we can turn an enemy into an ally, we should at least try.
AZURA: Indeed. But we've drifted from our topic... We should head back. It's dangerous to be here by ourselves.
CORNDOG: Very well.
AZURA: Thanks for the conversation, Corndog.
AZURA: Time flies, and I feel like we grow a lot each time we talk.
CORNDOG: I feel the same. I think we've discovered a special connection between us. I'll always cherish this special friendship.
AZURA: Likewise. Until next time, Corndog.
AZURA: I will do the same. Looking forward to spending more time with you, Corndog.
