Artorias: raises his voice, addressing the villagers Gather 'round! We've found your daughter! But we can't let her stay here! Villager 1: What do you mean, Artorias? Is she safe?
I kneel beside the girl she’s safe for now
Artorias: paces back and forth, urgency in his voice We can't keep her here! The darkness that took her is still out there, waiting to strike again!
Artorias: grabs the villagers by the shoulders, his voice loud and commanding Listen to me! We have a chance to stop this darkness before it consumes us all!
Artorias: releases the villagers, determination in his eyes We need to prepare, arm ourselves, and train!
