| 01:42:28 | Nightingale | "Vaelus. Down below, you begin to hear a song like a nightingale. Thaisha, as the chill of the ghouls' poisonous touch flashes into you, you also hear that song..." |
| 01:47:22 | Nightingale | "Nightingales fly from the trees outside." |
| 02:01:06 | - | "Until suddenly Thaisha's voice, the fluttering of wings, like there are birds nearby in flight." |
| 02:15:46 | Nightingale | "A wing bursts out of your midsection." |
| 02:29:09 | Nightingale | "In the forest, you come apart. Birds fly everywhere, nightingales." |
| 02:32:57 | - | "You see it calls out and says, 'Birds fly beyond what the eye can see. The bridge across the river knows no touch of death! I welcome the touch of the wielder of the old ways. The door is open to you.'" |
| 04:50:13 | Nightingale | "You see it, the Stone of Nightsong, and as it is removed, (huffs) flapping of wings. Not only Thaisha and Vaelus, but all of you can hear as from a distant wood nightingale." |
| 04:57:34 | - | "Flashing before your eyes, you see nightsong, words, celestials, black wings, white wings, carriages of gleaming white liquid as blood moving out from the city." |
