"Good morning, all. As we report the latest developments of the mass waves of violent conflicts that have sprung between the wizards and humans, a new alarming sickness has emerged among the masses. Many are claiming that their lungs are 'on fire' and that their water has been poisoned. As civil unrest continues to rise, fairies, mermaids, and dragon seers seem to be preparing their communities for an upcoming war despite the three's continued claims of neutrality.

"Niko, if I have to shut this tv off again you'll be sleeping in the cave."

"Of course it is, but you worrying about it isn't gonna make it any easier on me and your father. The news makes it seem a lot worse than it actually is, Wizards and Humans have been in conflict for centuries. Every other week it's another story claiming that they're 'finally going to war', bullshit. That nonsense is getting to you, you're so paranoid that you keep stealing the kitchen knives and sleeping with them..."

"Because it's different this time."
