Dragon's Dogma (ドラゴンズドグマ)

Do you sense it?

The energy, it feels...

sinister.

Almost as if it's...

Alive.

The Dragon is up ahead.

I know it.

Thou hath finally arrived.

O', Heartless One.

Arisen, I think charging it head-on would be a grave error.

I see that.

Heartless One,

how much darkness hast thou seen

throughout thine travels here?

The darkness of the human condition.

The darkness of the soul.

I know you have.

Humans suck each other dry

to fill their own bellies.

Loved ones unable to convey their feelings

smite one another.

The selfish neglect their responsibilities

and lose themselves in vice.

Once honorable men crumble

when confronted by monetary gain.

And the weak-willed are all too eager

to be consumed by their lust.

Humans pretend to be moral creatures

but are driven by their most base instincts.

They are corrupt,

evil beings.

Dost thou not agree?

Humans are imperfect.

I have faced the worst of humanity,

learned that man is capable of unspeakable evils.

But they are not inherently corrupt.

Mankind is redeemable.

They are not deserving of your judgement!

You think your intentions are benevolent?

You burn villages to the ground

and kill scores of humans purely for your own amusement.

You are the corrupt.

You are evil incarnate.

This...

This is all for my amusement.

Is that what thou truly thinks, Arisen?

I do.

Then you have learned nothing in your travels.

You're just a husk of a man,

aimlessly searching

for what hath robbed thee of thine heart.

You stole my home...

my child, my wife.

You stole my future!

You have taken everything from me!

Everything!

Dost thou hate me?

Then defeat me.

Fulfill your revenge.

Do what you desire.

What is the matter, Arisen?

Is thine hatred...

not strong enough?

Now!

Do you think we finished it off?

Let's find out.

Arisen!

It's trying to escape!

It's not going anywhere!

Arisen!

Thou believes my actions are derived from amusement, yes?

No.

I know your actions are derived from amusement.

Such simple creatures humans are.

I need nothing.

I kill because it is my nature as a Dragon.

Your nature?

I desire not your deaths.

I require not the nourishment your bodies provide.

I have no thirst for your blood.

I have no need for sleep,

nor a desire to procreate.

These...

These are the needs of lesser beings,

the needs of flawed humans,

not those of a Dragon.

Then why do you kill us?

Simply because you exist.

Asking me not to is tantamount to asking you not to breathe.

An effortless function that requires no thought

and yet is paramount to your survival.

That is not the same thing.

Is it not, though?

To kill is a choice!

I am simply bound by my nature.

But you...

Look unto thine self.

Thine desire to kill me,

be it your nature?

Or is it your need to kill what you fear?

To destroy what you hate?

This is your doing!

You took everything from me.

You took Olivia, my unborn child.

Your lies will not save you!

You shall die by my hand!

It is your destiny!

Arisen!

Come, then.
