*'''Eris Morn''': You arrive. Good, yes. We have only a brief window of opportunity. The Darkness is thick here, coalesced inside this effigy of Emperor Calus. It is tethered to his very mind. I have snared that thread. Caught it between my fingers and woven it into a tapestry. One that I can weave you into. Enter Calus's consciousness. Use this opportunity to steal his darkest secrets from him.
''The Guardian enters Calus's mindscape.''
*'''Eris''': What you feel may seem like reality, but it is not the one you know. Your mind now stretches across a vast gulf. Though while this world is born of Calus's thoughts, it is no less dangerous than physical reality.
''The Guardian explores the mindscape.''
*'''Eris Morn''': This... is not what I anticipated. The imprint of Calus's consciousness is... fractured, straining. As if Calus's mind is at war with itself.
*'''Calus''': All my history is etched here, from humble beginnings to my rise as emperor. It is an ancient tradition of our people.
*'''Eris Morn''': Calus? No, not Calus, but an echo of him. This is a recollection of a time since past.
*'''Calus''': My Bell of Conquest is so grand because I have lived a grand life. One day, my daughter, yours will be just as majestic.
*'''Eris Morn''': You are experiencing echoes of Calus's personal torment. Glimpses into his past which may provide insight to the future. I must focus to maintain your connection to this mindscape. From here, you must navigate these memories on your own.
''The Guardian explores further.''
*'''Calus''': [grunts angrily] Exile? Is the mighty Ghaul too great a coward to kneel down and take my head from my shoulders?
*'''Ghaul''': I am as you made me, and I would kill you were it my choice. But it is not. Caiatl stayed my blade. Remember that.
''The Guardian encounters the Nightmare of Gahlran.''
*'''Calus''': You were bred to be a sorrow-bearer. I seek a Hive commander, but those are not so readily available. So I made you.
''The Nightmare is defeated. The Guardian explores further.''
*'''Calus''': There was a time I would have gladly laid in death beside you, here in these crypts. But we were both different then.
''The Guardian explores further.''
*'''Calus''': No one of honor will be interred here. The dead are raw materials, and nothing more.
''The Guardian discovers the Vault.''
*'''Calus''': Shadows were cast here. History made.
''The Guardian fights the Nightmare of Ka'hok, Sworn of Umun'arath.''
*'''Calus''': Do not open doors you cannot close!
''The Guardian fights the Nightmare of Emonut, Sworn of Moli Imoli.''
*'''Calus''': Stop. Stop! I command you!
''The Guardian fights the Nightmare of Uroa, Sworn of Shayotet.''
*'''Calus''': Please! No, please! Don't do this!
''The Guardian opens the Vault.''
*'''Calus''': No...
''The Guardian explores the Vault.''
*'''Calus''': She is more beautiful than any star I have ever beheld. I name her Caiatl, for the brightest star in our sky. May be outshine it always.
''The Guardian fights the Nightmare of Princess Caiatl.''
*'''Calus''': My daughter, my star... my betrayer.
''The Guardian defeats Calus's Nightmare of Caiatl and returns to reality.''
*'''Eris Morn''': Breathe. Breathe. You have returned to reality. I shared your experiences and am uncertain of what to make of it all. But I believe there is yet more to find within... should you be willing to delve into his nightmares again.
''Or if the Guardian discovers Heartshadow''
*'''Eris Morn''': And so Calus's truth is laid bare. From his rise... to his fall... to whatever it is he is becoming now. Calus is seeking transfiguration. He believes it will help him better understand the goals of the Witness. The final shape? This is something I have heard spoken in Hive apocrypha, and from the lips of Toland the Shattered, According to the Hive, the final shape is "that which remains when all that can be removed has been removed." It is as vague a notion as it is fascinating. If this is the Witness's true end game, we must strive to understand it.
