Quotes

Millennium Ago

• "Zhan Tiri, this is your last warning!! Give up this foolish quest for power!!"
• "It was until you made it about something darker!! You made it into gaining power for yourself. You turned your back on what was right!!"
• "I know."
• "I had no choice, Vigor. I had to send her...to the Lost Realm."

Season Two

• "You require no map. For I am Lord Demanitus."
• "This is no subterfuge, I assure you. I am Lord Demanitus, protector of ancient Corona and engineer."
• "Listen well. Millennium ago, a phenomenal event had divided an ancient power in two. The Sundrop and Moonstone fell to Earth; two elements waiting to be reunited. My pupils and I searched everywhere, but could not find them. My pupils betrayed me and summoned my evil nemesis Zhan Tiri, a warlock from another realm bent on destruction. It took all of my powers to banish the evil from our world."
• "I'm no sorcerer. But from what I understand of the spell, it will allow me to emerge from this form but once and only for a few sort hours."
• "A monkey."
• "You were supposed to catch it!!"
• "What did you?!!"
• "I can't! I didn't construct it with vulnerabilities! I thought people would be smart enough to throw a coin in!"
• "I'm running out of time. Listen, one must unite the Sundrop and Moonstone to summon the Ultimate Power. The fourth piece of the scroll reveals the instructions to wield that power."
• "If the Sundrop does not join with the Moonstone, the black rocks will reawaken and will seek you out forever. They will destroy everything in their path!!"
• "Questions you must answer yourself. I've waited millennia in this monkey to meet the Sundrop. I have faith in you."
