Quotes

Battle quotes

“	Aw, poor thing. Sorry you lost your little friends. Want me to make it better?	”	— Zephia in Chapter 11.

“	The stolen rings. You'll return them, won't you?	”	— Zephia in Chapter 14.

“	Zephia: Well, if it isn't my favorite lizard! How's Solm treating you? Don't you worry, your friends are safe with me. Sigurd, Celica, Micaiah... Marth. Alear: You... Zephia: Oh, did you want to see them? Shame. I didn't bring them with me. Couldn't have you taking them, could I?	”	— Zephia, when fighting Alear in Chapter 14.

“	You think you can defeat me and my knight? Then by all means, try.	”	— Zephia in Chapter 17.

“	It's nothing personal. I'm merely following Lady Veyle's orders.	”	— Zephia in Chapter 21.

“	Zephia: It is a sad day that I must fight you, Mauvier. And here I thought we were family... Mauvier: Family?! You killed Marni! I should have stepped in sooner. Then Lady Veyle and Marni might have had a chance...	”	— Zephia, when fighting Mauvier in Chapter 21.

“	Will it be me or you who dies here, I wonder?	”	— Zephia in Chapter 23.

“	Zephia: My dear, sweet Divine Dragon. We've been through a lot together, haven't we? Alear: Zephia... You must have known who I was a thousand years ago. Zephia: Yes, I believe we met. But the details are hazy. Lord Sombron had so many children, you see. A bug would have had more luck getting my attention. Alear: Oh? Am I that forgettable? Zephia: Oh, not at all. You're the Divine Dragon now. But in due time, you'll be me. One tends to lose count of the lives that pass by. You'll understand one day. Alear: I will never be like you. Zephia: Haha. Well, it barely matters anyway. You aren't leaving this place. You're going to die right now.	”	— Zephia, when fighting Alear in Chapter 23.

“	Zephia: You're going to kill me, Mauvier? After everything? Mauvier: At one time, I would not have imagined it myself. I believed our path to be just. That we were family. Zephia: Family... I'm surprised to hear that from you. Mauvier: I am, I admit, solitary by nature. But I felt a true bond with the Hounds. I let our "family" distract me too long. Until you took Marni from us. Zephia: You know, Mauvier... You can turn your back on all of this. You can leave. Mauvier: I left you, Zephia, after you made a wreckage of the Hounds. I don't have any last sentiments. You see...I learned something from you in the end.	”	— Zephia, when fighting Mauvier in Chapter 23.

“	Zephia: Ah, Lady Veyle. You mean to kill me, don't you? Veyle: That's right. Zephia: Those eyes... So like your father's. You really resemble him, you know. Far more than the other Lady Veyle did. Veyle: You don't see me, do you, Zephia? You see me and you think of Papa. Or that other me. When we met, you seemed so kind. I really liked you. Zephia: Really? I hated you. No, that's not right... I was indifferent to you. Veyle: ... Zephia: Lord Sombron's puppet. That's all you were. A thing to be used and cast off. Yet somehow...I knew this day would come. Veyle: The day I would kill you? No wonder you didn't like me. Zephia: Well... You finally have my undivided attention.	”	— Zephia, when fighting Veyle in Chapter 23.

“	Zelestia: Is that the "me" of this world? Zephia: You have my face? I don't know what manner of illusion this is, but I dislike it. Away with you! Zelestia: Such incredible power. Is this world's version of me really the Divine Dragon's enemy? If she pledged to serve Sombron, then I said some naive things to the Divine Dragon...	”	— Zephia, when fighting Zelestia for the first time in any of the chapters.

“	You've been naughty.	”	— Zephia

Defeat quotes

“	And I was being so nice! How cruel. I'll be sure to tell Lady Veyle about this.	”	— Zephia in Chapter 11.

“	That would have been too easy, I suppose... We'll meet again soon enough.	”	— Zephia in Chapter 14.

“	Ngh. Armed like this, and yet I did not win...	”	— Zephia in Chapter 17.

“	Perhaps you do have what it takes...	”	— Zephia in Chapter 21.

Zephia: Scheming Dragon
Zephia is a servant of Sombron, the Fell Dragon who was sealed away by the Divine Dragon Monarch and the Emblems after he nearly brought Elyos to ruin.	As a Mage Dragon, Zephia has lived for millennia, and she has pledged her loyal devotion to Sombron for most of that time. That’s why, a thousand years after Sombron was sealed away, she set a plot in motion from the shadows.	As the leader of the Four Hounds, Zephia seeks the Emblem rings in Sombron’s name. Her machinations have sparked war across the continent of Elyos.	She continues to fight for him in the hopes that he might one day return her feelings.
