Quotes

 * Ice Queen: (While unseen) "Oh, my...! Do I sense some warm-blooded guests come to my chilly court? Well, I do love to be adored. But only from a distance. No touching now! Wait, you're NOT groveling. How rude. But then again, it's clear why you're REALLY here. You've come to take me back, haven't you? Now don't you DARE lie to me!" (If Matthew says yes) "Well, I'm NOT leaving. So, out of my sight!" (Or if Matthew says no) "I can see through your lies. But I am flattered. So, you truly DO want to possess me?" (If Matthew says no) "Then what ARE you bothering me for, if you don't covet my beauty? Begone!" (Or if Matthew says yes) "Of course you do. And who doesn't? But meddling in MY affairs can be quite hazardous. I hope you realize that. Hmm. It would seem that you've managed to restart the Alchemy Forge. So I suppose you want to put the forge in reverse to travel to the peak of the Neox. Well, you may have defeated the Sand Prince, but you will  never make ME your slave! It took me an eternity to dupe someone into taking me away from Passaj... I mean, how often does a silly monk like Nyunpa come along to give me my freedom? Once in a lifetime, that's how often! And I will NOT go back to a life of servitude! But I can see that you're not going to see reason. You want to carry me away in my gemstone! Well, the Ice Queen will not go without a fight, I tell you! Come then! I will shatter you into a million pieces!"


 * Ice Queen: (After being defeated, she is converted into gemstone form) "I can't...! NOOOO...!"
 * Tyrell: "Well, I guess she realizes her place NOW."
 * Rief: "We defeated her! We have the Ice Queen Stone!"
 * Karis: "We did win, didn't we? But I do feel a little bad, forcing her back in that gem."
 * Tyrell: "We may never learn the true nature of these gemstones. Which came first: the gem or the queen? Well, let's just pocket that stone and be on our way back to Passaj."
