{{quote|'''Bahamut''': {{smallcaps| Enough. The test of courage will reveal the true identity of the enlightened warrior.}}
'''Black Mage''': This isn't some insipid quest wrought with danger, is it?
'''Bahamut''': {{smallcaps| No.}}
'''Black Mage''': Oh, good.
'''Bahamut''': {{smallcaps| It is the ultimate quest. The quest for identity.}}
'''Black Mage''': ...I think you're confused about what 'insipid' means.

{{quote|"My shame ye count and know.
Ye say [[Title Drop|the quest]] is vain.
Ye have not seen my foe.
Ye have not told his slain.
Surely he fights again, again;
But when ye prove his line,
There shall come to your aid my broken blade
[[Last Stand|In the last, lost fight of mine!]]
And here is my lance to mend (Haro!),
And here is my horse to be shot!
Ay, they were strong, and the fight was long;
[[Curb Stomp Cushion|But I paid as good as I got!]]"''|Last stanza of "The Quest", Rudyard Kipling}}
