You were a fool to confront me, and now have paid the
ultimate price. Even now my servants go to fetch your
mortal husk. You will serve me well through my years
as Emperor, once I have made you undead. Perhaps I
will even let you retain some of your memories, so that
the price of your failure has meaning to you....&
You must not! The Jewel holds my lifeforce!!!&
Thou art truly a child of the Empire. I thank thee for thy assistance.&
It seems, %pcf, that I am quite in the way.
Not only have you managed to save the
Emperor, but my life as well. I cannot be but
proud of one who has truly earned such
renown, and my deepest respect...&
