Maat: ...How many rounds have we gone now, (player)? I remember every single blow, every tiny shift of your stance. I can't tell you how much I look forward to our little matches. heh heh heh. But you know, I never imagined anyone would conquer all the challenges I set before him. Goes to show that even old Maat can be taught a thing or two. Now, I can't let such a great hero go home empty-handed. I've decided to grant you any one wish you ask of me. Don't get too exotic, though. I'm just an old man, not some Far Eastern genie! Come on, then. No need to be shy. What's it to be? ...! Take off my hat!? Are you sure that's what you want? Not much exciting going on under an old man's cap! It's not too late to change your mind, you know. There must be something else you want. A lifetime supply of Goblin chocolate? Afternoon tea with Princess Claidie? A Kraken Club, perhaps? Or maybe a Ridill? No? You've made up your mind, it seems. Young people these days--no imagination. But if that's what you really want, it makes things easy for me, I suppose. I'll give you one last chance to change your wish...
Well, alright then. Are you ready? Try not to blink...
Heh heh heh. Are you happy now? Bet you're thinking you should've changed your mind when you had the chance, huh? Aw, don't look so disappointed, (player). You think I'd let you walk away with nothing but an eyeful of my wrinkled noggin? Even the mightiest oak will wither with the passing of time. Its vibrant leaves will fade to brown, and crumble into dust, I, too, will one day have to leave this garden behind for good.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
When the time comes, I want you to take up this cap and become the mighty oak. Watch over the saplings as they reach toward the sky. I know you're up to the task, (player). Do I have your word?
Well, that takes a load off my mind. I've got plenty of spark left in me, though, so don't go getting ahead of yourself! I'll be around whenever you're ready for another bout. Heh heh heh!
