- Sisu: I'm going to be real with you, alright? I'm not like the best dragon, you know?
- Raya: But you saved the world.
- Sisu: I did do that. That's true. But have you ever done like a group project, but there's like that one kid who didn't pitch in as much, but still ended up with the same grade? Yeah, I wasn't the one who actually made the gem. I just turned it in.
- Sisu: Is that food? I was so focused on saving the world, I forgot to have breakfast today.
- Raya: Today? When exactly do you think today is?
- Sisu: Tuesday.
- [tries a bite of Raya's jerky]
- Sisu: Yuck! I mean, mmm! What is this delightful culinary treat?
- Raya: It's jackfruit jerky. I dried it myself.
- Sisu: Well, compliments to the chef!
- [to Tuk Tuk]
- Sisu: Wanna finish this, Skippy?
- Raya: My whole life, I trained to become a guardian of the Dragon Gem. But this world has changed, and its people are divided. Now to restore peace, I must find the Last Dragon. My name is Raya.
- Sisu: What? Why are you looking at me like that?
- Raya: Uh, nothing. I'm just not used to seeing dragons.
- Sisu: Impressed, huh? Wait 'til you see my backstroke! I'm wicked when I hit that liquid! I got water skills that kill! I slaughter when I hit the water! I'm like... really good at swimming... through rhyme. I was trying to make that... that I'm really good at swimming. I'm a really good swimmer... just basically.
- Raya: Okay. We need to get going.
- Sisu: It may feel impossible, but sometimes you just have to take the first step, even before you're ready.
- Raya: Actually, Sisu, I think we're going to go with your plan.
- Sisu: What? My plan? You're going with my plan?
- Raya: Yeah.
- Sisu: Alright! You're not going to regret this. But we're gonna need a really good gift. What do you think she's into? Cats? Knives? Cats with knives? Knives with little cats on them?
- [first lines]
- Raya: I know what you're thinking. A lone rider. A distopian world. A land that's gone to waste. How did this world get so broken? Well, that all began 500 years ago. Kumandra. This is what we used to be when our land was whole, and we lived harmoniously alongside dragons, magical creatures who brought us water, and rain, and peace. It was paradise. But then, the druun came. A mindless plague that spread like wildfire. Multiplying as they consumed life and turned everyone they touched into stone. The dragons fought for us the best they could, but it wasn't enough. That's when the mighty Sisu Datuu, the last dragon, concentrated all her magic into a gem and blasted the druun away. Everyone that was turned to stone came back... except the dragons. All that was left of Sisu was her gem. It should have been this big inspirational moment where humanity united over her sacrifice, but instead, people being people, they all fought to possess the last remnant of dragon magic. Borders were drawn. Kumandra divided. We all became enemies, and the gem had to be hidden, but that's not how the world broke. That didn't truly happen until 500 years later when I came into the story.
- Sisu: Here's my plan: We infiltrate Fang, confront Namaari, and offer her something nice and go, Wanna help us save the world? Cuz all it takes is one gem piece!
- Namaari: [in Sisu's thoughts] Yes! I've been waiting for someone to offer me a gift! Here you go!
- Sisu: [in her thoughts] Best friends forever!
- Sisu: This is delicious. By the way, not poison. But... it's haaaaa... it's haaaaa... it's hot! It's hot! It's really hot! Water! Water! Boun! Captain Boun? We need water on deck!
- Raya: [Raya and Tuk Tuk have just arrived at a damaged ship at a dead end] Six years of searching, and we end up at a literal shipwreck. That's not necessarily a bad thing, right?
- Sisu: That's what I keep trying to tell my girl, Raya. She's like, You can't trust anyone. Don't talk to people. I only eat terrible foods I dried myself.
