"I've lived in this town my whole life. And now look at it... Ruined... You probably wouldn't believe it, but I used to be an important person. I worked for the royal family! I swore an oath I would never tell a soul what I am about to tell you. But what is that to a man on his deathbed? Will you listen to the sad story of an old man?" – The Blind Old Man when initially spoken to

"This was back, oh, 15 or 20 years ago. The current queen was just a little girl then. What nobody knows is that there were 2 princesses! They were such pretty girls... And smart as a whip, the both of them. But the Queen's advisors said she had to get rid of one of them. There would be a fight over the crown, they said. There would be bloodshed, they said. Soulless devils, they were. I was given the job of disposing the sister. I told her we were just going on a short trip... May the gods forgive me. I haven't seen the sun in 7 years, but I can still see that sweet, innocent face, as clearly as if it was yesterday..." – The Blind Old Man when Tara answers with "I want to hear your story"

"Perhaps it's for the best. Some stories are better left untold, I guess..." – The Blind Old Man when Tara answers with "Maybe next time, Gramps"
