This is a translation of the script of Fire Emblem 6: Fuuin no Tsurugi.  With
Fire Emblem 7 out in English in NA, people would probably be wondering about
what FE6 is about.  So here's the story.

This is my translation, so it isn't perfect, but the gist should be fairly
clear.

This only is a translation of the mainline plot.  I'm not going through all the
support conversations or anything like that.

I have only the English translation here because including the Japanese would
make this file pointlessly large.  The original Japanese text is here, courtesy
of かわき茶亭 Kawaki Chatei.

Enjoy!

                       Chapter 1: The Start of a Destiny
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

The people of the continent of Elibe have been spreading technology and
civilization for some time now, after the Dragons had been defeated in the
Scouring.

In the west resides the Kingdom of Etruria, which has the highest level of
civilization in Elibe.

The Kingdom of Bern, with a powerful military and a practical and pragmatic
attitude about life, is located in the east.

These are the two strongest nations in Elibe, and the lesser nations are
located between them.

There is the Lycia Alliance, which is under joint rulership of various dukes.

The people of the Knights' Union of Ilia are hard at work cultivating the
snowy wastelands in the north.

In Sacae live various clans which ride through the plains on horseback.

Although there were occasional clashes between nation-states, there was a
general sense of balance of power and peace in Elibe.

However, that balance was suddenly disrupted.

King Zephiel, ruler of the Kingdom of Bern, has sent his forces out to conquer
the rest of Elibe.

Bern's forces invaded Sacae and Ilia and mercilessly massacred all those who
stood against them.

And now, Bern has shown signs of invading the Lycia Alliance.

A youth named Roy (son of Eliwood, the current Duke of Pherae, which is a
territory in the east of Lycia) was in Lycia's largest territory, Ostia.  He
was sent as a transfer student to train to become the next Duke of Pherae.

However, Eliwood, who has fallen ill, has sent for Roy to return home.  Just
around that time, Lilina, the princess of Ostia, had traveled to Lycia to pay
her respects to Eliwood.

After getting the message, Roy hurried on his way home, taking with him his
loyal knights and Bors, a knight from Ostia responsible for Lilina's safety.

The story begins when Roy had reached an area just on the outskirts of
Pherae...


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Bandits surround the castle and take over it*

Bandit 
"Boss!  The residents of the castle have hidden inside!"

Damas (the main Bandit)
"Heh even Eliwood, the greatest knight in Lycia, can't beat an illness eh?"

Bandit
"Hehehe, you were right when you said there wouldn't be many soldiers around
 here because they're getting ready to take on Bern!"

Damas
"Of course, who do you think I am?  But you never know when reinforcements are
 gonna come.  All right!  Kill off the guys in the castle while we still got
 time!  Then all the treasure is ours!"

*Bandits appear to the southeast of the castle*

Bandit
"Hehe, castles ain't the only places with treasure.  Let's go ransack the
 villages and get some loot!"

*Bandit destroys village*

*Scene shifts to inside castle*

Merlinus (the bald guy)
"Master Eliwood!  The bandits from Bolm Mountain are attacking us!"

Eliwood (the reddish-brown haired middle aged man)
"I see...  Blast!  If I weren't in this state, I would teach them a lesson...!
 Cough cough..."

Lilina (girl with blue hair)
"Mr. Eliwood..."

Eliwood
"Lilina, you must hide somewhere.  This castle will become a battlefield."

Lilina
"No, sir.  I will fight, too!"

Eliwood
"Don't be ridiculous.  If something happened to you, I wouldn't know what to
 say to Hector."

Lilina
"To my father?  But..."

Eliwood
"It's going to be all right.  Roy should be almost here by now, so if we can
 hold our own until then, we can drive off these bandits.
 Merlinus!  I want you to send a messenger to Roy informing him of this attack
 immediately!"

Merlinus
"Y-Yes sir!"

*Scene switches to outside.  Lance comes running towards Roy*

Roy (boy with red hair)
"Oh, it's Lance!  What's the matter?  Why are you in such a hurry?"

Lance (Social Knight with green hair and armor)
"Master Roy!  Bandits have appeared and are attacking the castle as we speak!"

Allen (Social Knight with red hair and armor)
"What!  Is Lord Eliwood safe?"

Lance
"He's inside, defending against the bandits' attacks.  But I don't know how
 long he can last with his illness...!"

Bors (Armor Knight with curly front hair)
"Excuse me, Lance is it?  Is Lady Lilina safe?"

Lance
"Are you from Ostia?  Lady Lilina is in the castle.  She should be all right as
 long as Lord Eliwood is with her, but he can't last forever."

Roy
"No...I shouldn't have let Lilina go to the castle before me."

Wolt (Archer with blondish hair)
"Lord Roy, regret won't solve anything!  We must recapture the castle!"

Marcus (Paladin with purple armor, white hair, and craptastic stats)
"Wolt is right.  We must hurry!"

Roy
"You're right.  All right, let's go!  We're going to save those trapped in the
 castle!"


== 1st Turn ==

*Damas moves toward castle gate*

Damas
"Dammit!  Reinforcements already?  But you ain't gettin' to the castle so
 easy!"


== Battle with Damas ==

Damas
"You damn idiots!  Can't you guys take on these bastards!?"


== Defeating Damas ==

Damas
"What the...!?  S...Strong..."


== After beating the map ==

*Inside castle*

Roy
"Father!  Lilina!"

Eliwood
"Roy!  Is that you?"

Lilina
"Roy!"

Roy
"Father!  Lilina!  ...Thank goodness you're all right."

Eliwood
"Roy, thanks for coming this far."

Roy
"Of course, father.  How is your health?"

Eliwood
"I'm fine.  I'm still alive, see?  Now, Roy, you know why I sent for you to
 return to Pherae, yes?"

Roy
"I am to take over your role of leading Pherae's military and join the Lycia
 Alliance Army."

Eliwood
"Yes.  As you know, Bern has started to conquer Lycia.  We must follow the
 ancient rule and send out our military to protect the land of Lycia."

Roy
"Yes."

Eliwood
"I really didn't want to send you out because you were still studying, but I'm
 not well...I would only be a hindrance to everybody else."

Roy
"Father..."

Lilina
"Mr. Eliwood, I will accompany Roy!  My father is in charge of Lycia's main
 army.  And I could use my magic to be of some help to Roy..."

Eliwood
"No, Lilina, you must return to Ostia."

Lilina
"...Why?"

Eliwood
"With Hector's absence, there is no one currently sitting on the throne in
 Ostia.  The people must be feeling uptight as well.  You, being the princess,
 must take the throne until Hector returns and ease the tension of the people.
 Am I wrong?"

Lilina
"...No, sir."

Eliwood
"Roy, first you must go the Bern border and meet with the mercenary group that
 I have arranged a contract with.  I'll send Merlinus along with you.  He'll be
 helpful with his knowledge."

Roy
"Thank you for everything, father."

Eliwood
"You'll be fine.  You can do it!  Go and fight, and show them who you are, the
 next Duke of Pherae!"

Roy
"Yes!"

Lilina
"Bors, I have something to ask of you."

Bors
"I know, my Lady.  I will accompany Roy in his travels and swear to protect him
 with my life."

Lilina
"Thank you, Bors.  Roy, be careful."

Roy
"I know.  You too, Lilina!"

                        Chapter 2: The Princess of Bern
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

There is a small village on the border of Pherae and Bern.

Here was where Roy was to meet the mercenary band that Eliwood had hired for
him.

Just east of the village is a small castle occupied by Bern's forces.  When Roy
had reached the village, the castle was in a chaotic state.

Roy had yet to learn that the confusion going on in the castle was going to
cause turbulence all over Elibe.


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Rude comes out of the castle*

Miledy (Dragon Knight with red armor)
"What I'm asking is where the princess is!"

Rude (the Armor Knight)
"Y-Yes Captain Miledy...I'm certain she was in her room this morning..."

Miledy
"I've heard that enough times!  What I want to know is where the princess is
 at this moment!"

Rude
"Um...she's...er..."

Miledy
"We're almost going into head-on war with Lycia.  What if something happens to
 the princess?  Can you take responsibility?"

Rude
"......"

Miledy
"I never should have let her Majesty go down to the border in the first place.
 I will return to Bern and inform the king about this matter.  I'll try not to
 make it into a panic, so you must find the princess as soon as possible!
 Understood?"

Rude
"Yes ma'am!"

*Miledy leaves*

*A Soldier appears*

Rude
"Is Princess Guinevere still with us?"

Soldier
"Yes sir, she's under constant monitoring in the basement room."

Rude
"Good.  Don't let her escape."

Soldier
"Sir...are you sure this is such a good idea?"

Rude
"Don't worry!  Bern has plenty of enemies.  The younger sister of the king of
 Bern...we'll be sure to get a hefty amount of money by turning her in to one
 of our foes."

Soldier
"......"

Rude
"We're not going to make it anywhere by serving our country anyway, so we're
 better off thinking of ways to make money fast, no?"

Soldier
"Yes, of course sir.  ...But, there is one little problem with that plan..."

Rude
"?  What do you mean?"

Soldier
"I just received a report...it seems that Princess Guinevere's servant has
 escaped..."

Rude
"What!?  You fool, why didn't you say so earlier?  Go search for her
 immediately!  Don't let her get away!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Merlinus
"Master Roy, it's around here somewhere."

Roy
"This is where we're supposed meet the mercenary band?"

Merlinus
"Yes, though it seems they aren't here yet.  Oh wait, I can see somebody coming
 this way..."

*Ellen comes running towards Roy*

Roy
"Watch out!"

Ellen (Cleric with a white hood)
"Oh, excuse me!  I was in a hurry..."

Roy
"No, it's all right.  I'm fine, but are you okay?"

Ellen
"Yes, I'm fine.  Thank you."

Roy
"Good that you're not hurt..."

Ellen
"...You are from Lycia, are you not?"

Roy
"Yes, I am the son of the Duke of Pherae."

Ellen
"Oh...Dear God!  I thank You for Your guidance!"

Roy
"?"

Ellen
"Please, could you help me rescue my mistress?"

Roy
"What happened?"

Ellen
"My mistress and I were traveling to meet someone from the Lycia Alliance.
 However, while we were passing through here, we fell into a trap set by Rude,
 the lord of the castle just east of here.  We were captured."

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  We mustn't get into unnecessary entanglements with Bern now!"

Roy
"But we can't neglect a person who has come to meet someone from the Alliance.
 ...But, it isn't smart to charge into enemy fields either...  ...!!"

Soldier
"There they are!  Hey guys, over here!  Get the servant girl!  It doesn't
 matter whether she's dead or alive!"

Ellen
"Oh, no..."

Roy
"Well, Merlinus, they attacked first.  We have to fight, don't we?"

Merlinus
"You won't pay heed of me now, will you?  I guess I can be witness to how much
 you have learned in Ostia."

Roy
"All right!  We're going to charge the castle!  Miss Ellen, you can hide
 some place safe..."

Ellen
"No, I will accompany you.  I cannot fight, but I can heal wounded allies."

Roy
"Oh...but..."

Ellen
"I'm the one who got you tangled up in this mess.  Please let me be of some
 help."

Roy
"Okay, but please don't strain yourself."

Ellen
"Yes, thank you for your consideration."


== 2nd Turn ==

*Dieck and company appear in the south*

Dieck (Mercenary with scar)
"It should be around here somewhere...Thany, could you go and check to see if
 the Pherae Army is around here somewhere?"

Thany (the Pegasus Knight)
"Sure!"

*Thany flies off*

Ward (Fighter with blue headband, brown hair)
"Dieck, who's our client this time?"

Dieck
"The Pherae family, one of the dukes of Lycia.  The duke's son is going to join
 the Lycia Alliance."

Lott (Fighter with black headband, red hair)
"So we're going up against Bern?"

Dieck
"That's what it looks like."

Ward
"A worthy opponent!  Time to show some skill, eh?"

Lott
"Bern...this one's going to be tough.  Better be careful."

*Thany returns*

Thany
"I think I've found them!  But it looks like they're fighting somebody down
 there."

Dieck
"What, a battle's already started?  We better hurry!"


== Conversation (Roy, Dieck) ==

Dieck
"Are you Roy from the Pherae family?"

Roy
"Who are you?"

Dieck
"I'm Dieck.  I think you've heard the news from an old guy called Merlinus."

Roy
"So you're the leader of the mercenary band?"

Dieck
"It's just a little group, really.  I'm sorry we were late, I didn't think that
 a battle was already going on."

Roy
"Well we have our issues..."

Dieck
"No no, we're not blaming you for it.  Actually everyone's all excited and
 saying that they can show off their skills already."

Roy
"Thank you.  That's encouraging to hear."

Dieck
"All right then, let's get this battle over with, shall we?"


== Battle with Rude ==

Rude
"Damn!  Just when I thought luck was with me..."


== Defeating Rude ==

Rude
"Ugh...greed...only brings you...ill fate..."


== After beating the map ==

*Inside Castle*

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  We have rescued a lady trapped in a room in the basement!"

Roy
"That must Ellen's mistress.  Have her come here."

Merlinus
"Yes."

Ellen
"Your Majesty!"

Guinevere (woman with blond hair)
"Ellen!  Oh, you were all right?  I never knew you would do such a brave thing
 for me...  You had me worried, Ellen."

Ellen
"I wanted to rescue you no matter what...so..."

Guinevere
"It is fine, Ellen.  Thanks to you, I am safe now."

*Guinevere turns to Roy*

Guinevere
"You are in my debt.  May I ask your name?"

Roy
"I am Roy, son of Eliwood, the Duke of Pherae."

Guinevere
"Yes.  And I am..."

Ellen
"Your Majesty...are you sure?"

Guinevere
"It is all right, Ellen.  My name is Guinevere."

Roy
"Guinevere!?  That's impossible!  That's the name of the princess of Bern!"

Guinevere
"Yes, that is who I am."

Merlinus
"What!  Do you plan on attacking us now!?"

Roy
"Merlinus, wait a second."

Merlinus
"I beg your pardon, Lord Roy, but..."

Roy
"I want to speak with her.  Give me some time, will you?"

Merlinus
"Hmph, if Master Roy says so..."

*Merlinus leaves*

Roy
"You are indeed Princess Guinevere from Bern?"

Guinevere
"Yes.  I am not sure if you will believe me, however."

Roy
"Even if you are not the princess of Bern, I can tell from your actions and
 dress that you are certainly someone of high social status.  But...if you are
 indeed Princess Guinevere, something doesn't seem right.  Ellen told me that
 you intended to meet someone from the Lycia Alliance."

Guinevere
"Yes, that is correct."

Roy
"Why, if you are the princess of Bern?"

Guinevere
"I want to find a peaceful way of ending this war.  I figured that if I could
 speak with someone from Lycia, I could find some solution."

Roy
"Your brother started this war.  Is it in your power to stop it?"

Guinevere
"I certainly wish to stop it.  No, it must be stopped."

Roy
"...I see.  Anyway, will you come with us to meet the Lycia Alliance Army?  I
 want to meet Lord Hector and see what he thinks about this matter."

Guinevere
"Honestly...you will take me?"

Roy
"Yes.  If there is a possibility to avoid bloodshed and end this war, then I
 believe that we must try it, no matter how small the chance."

Guinevere
"Thank you!  Thank you...truly."

                        Chapter 3: The One Who Came Late
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

Just to the north of the Pherae territory stands Castle Araphen.

The Lycia Alliance had gathered here to discuss the matters of going up against
Bern.

Roy's army was hurrying toward Castle Araphen, taking with them Princess
Guinevere, a key member who could make or break this war.

However, when Roy was only half a day away from Castle Araphen, a messenger
brought him news that he could not believe.

The message was this.  "Bern has a trio of elite generals called the Three
Dragon Lords.  Two of these, General Brenya and General Narshen, have attacked
Castle Araphen and have nearly decimated the Lycia Alliance Army."

Although the morale of the Pherae Army went down severely, Roy led his group
toward Castle Araphen to find survivors and check the damage.


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Brenya runs toward Zephiel, who's sitting on the throne*

*Inside castle*

Brenya (Sage with purplish armor)
"Your Majesty, we have captured the enemy leader."

Zephiel (King with a large purple collar)
"Good.  Bring him before me."

*Hector appears*

Hector (blue hair and beard, with blood on his face)
"You...Zephiel, the King of Bern!!  Damn you...!!"

Zephiel
"Ah, Lord Hector.  I must praise your ability of putting up such a good fight
 against two of our Dragon Lords.  I suppose they do not call you the leader
 of the Lycia Alliance for nothing.  However, you were not good enough.  Pray
 while you can, for you end here."

Hector
"Why..."

Zephiel
"Hm?"

Hector
"Bern and Lycia...we were always on good terms with each other.  Even when you
 took the throne, we have always paid our respects towards Bern..."

Zephiel
"Respect?  Don't be ridiculous.  Lycia...no, this entire continent must go
 under my rule.  That is the only way to liberate this world.  I lack the time
 to be worrying about such trivial matters as respect."

Hector
"To liberate...this world?  What do you mean...?"

Zephiel
"It is of no importance to you.  You are going to die anyway.  Someone!  Take
 him away!"

*Hector leaves.  A Soldier appears*

Zephiel
"Throw Lord Hector into the dungeon!"

Soldier
"Yes sir!"

Brenya
"Your Majesty, I will now return to the Sacae Plains."

Zephiel
"Yes, you may be on your way."

Brenya
"One thing before I leave, your Majesty.  I beg your pardon, but I do not think
 that it is such a good idea to put too much trust into sinister people..."

Zephiel
"Do you mean Idoun?"

Brenya
"Yes.  Our soldiers call her the 'Dark Priestess' and do not approve of her
 presence.  I understand that she is a Shaman of great powers, however..."

Zephiel
"Brenya, do you not have faith in me?"

Brenya
"...!  Yes, of course I do, your Majesty!  I just thought that..."

Zephiel
"Then all you do is follow my orders.  Understood?"

Brenya
"...Yes.  I will do whatever his Majesty wishes."

*Brenya leaves*

Zephiel
"'Do you not have faith in me?'  Dear dear, the things I say sometimes..."

*Scene switches to Roy.  Chad is with him*

Roy
"So Lord Hector is still alive!?"

Chad (the Thief)
"Yeah, that's for sure.  I saw some of Bern's soldiers take him into the
 castle."

Roy
"Chad, was it?  Do you know the inside of Castle Araphen well?"

Chad
"I guess.  Wait, are you guys planning on going in to save Lord Hector?  I
 wouldn't try that if I were you.  The bulk of Bern's forces are gone, but
 there are still a decent number of soldiers still in the castle, you know? It
 would be suicide to try and charge them with your army."

Roy
"Perhaps.  But we can't afford to lose Lord Hector.  And you said that their
 main forces are gone, right?  Then there is a chance that we could win."

Chad
"I see...  Then I guess I'll go along too.  I can show you around the castle."

Roy
"What!?  No no, don't feel pressured!  If you could just explain what the
 interior of the castle looks like..."

Chad
"I also want revenge against Bern.  C'mon, let me go with you!"

Roy
"All right.  Then I'll be counting on you."

Chad
"Of course!  Leave locked chests and doors to me!"

*Chad leaves.  Guinevere appears*

Guinevere
"...Master Roy...I beg your forgiveness of my brother's doings...  I didn't
 think he would invade Lycia so soon..."

Roy
"My Lady, there's no point in dwelling over the past.  Please do not blame
 yourself.  Besides, Lycia is still intact.  If we could get our leader, Lord
 Hector, out of harm's way, we can unite Lycia once again and fight!  We must
 recapture Castle Araphen for all of our sakes.  ...And for Lilina's sake..."

Guinevere
"......"

Roy
"Let's go!"


== 2nd Turn ==

*At village*

Lou (the green haired boy)
"Thanks for taking care of the children, Reverend."

Reverend (the priest-like guy)
"Of course.  We of the Elimine Church will take good care of the orphans.  And
 what will you do, Lou?"

Lou
"I'm going to stay here.  I still have some things to do."

Reverend
"I see...but please do not stress yourself."

Lou
"Yes, thank you."

*A little boy and girl appear*

Lou
"Make sure you listen to what the priest says, okay?"

Little Boy
"Aren't you coming with us, Lou?"

Lou
"I'm going to wait for Chad, and then we'll catch up with you..."

Little Girl
"Yay!  Chad's coming too?"

Lou
"That's right."

Little Boy
"Then I want Ray to come too!"

Lou
"Yeah...It would be great if Ray came back and we could all go together,
 wouldn't it?"

Reverend
"Children, we must be off."

Little Boy
"See you later, Lou."

Little Girl
"Hurry and catch up, okay?"

Lou
"Sure..."

*The Reverend and the little boy and girl leave*

Lou
"Sorry...but I've chosen not to run away any more."


== 3rd Turn ==

*Zephiel, Narshen and Idoun appear*

Zephiel
"Narshen!  What is causing all that noise?"

Narshen (the Dragon Master with blond hair and sneering eyes)
"Probably what's left of the enemy are trying to put up a fight in their last
 hope.  Excuse me your Majesty, I shall have them cleaned up in no time."

Idoun (the Mamkute with a large purple hood)
"Your Highness, shall we use the Dragons?"

Narshen
"No, I do not wish to put the Dark Priestess through any trouble.  Do not
 worry, we can handle them by ourselves..."

Idoun
"......"

Zephiel
"Not this time, Idoun.  Send the Dragons back to Bern, as was planned."

Idoun
"Yes, if his Highness wishes it to be so."

Narshen
"......"

Zephiel
"I will be off to Bern soon as well.  Narshen, I'm going to leave Lycia up to
 you."

Narshen
"...What shall I do with the remaining forces of the Lycia Army?"

Zephiel
"Kill all those who stand against us."

Narshen
"...Does that include women and children?"

Zephiel
"Of course.  Annihilate them enough so that they would no longer even think
 about going against us."

Narshen
"Leave that to me, sire.  Hehehe..."

*Zephiel and Idoun leave.  Slater appears*

Narshen
"Hmph, I wonder what his Majesty sees in that Idoun girl.  Well I think I'll
 be going as well.  Slater, I'm trusting this castle with you."

Slater (the Armor Knight)
"Are you leaving?"

Narshen
"Yes.  One of the dukes who turned against Lycia has a special gift for me.  He
 says it's a girl from Etrurian nobility or something...hehehe..."

Slater
"From Etruria?  She must very beautiful then!"

Narshen
"Yes, the duke tells me she's still young but very beautiful."

Slater
"I would be looking forward to it if I were you, sir.  Please be careful on
 your way there."

Narshen
"You be careful too, Slater.  Don't you dare get defeated by these remainders
 of Lycia's army.  If you do, I will personally tear you apart."

Slater
"...Have mercy, sir...!"

Narshen
"Hahaha...!"

*Narshen leaves.  Slater goes to throne*


== Conversation (Lou, Chad) ==

Lou
"Chad!  You're okay!"

Chad
"Lou!?  What are you doing here?"

Lou
"We all fled to here."

Chad
"Oh...  Where's everybody else?  Are they all right?"

Lou
"Yeah, the Elimine Church is going to take care of them for a while."

Chad
"What about you?"

Lou
"What?"

Chad
"How come you're still here?"

Lou
"...The same reason as you."

Chad
"!?  Lou, you're not thinking of...!"

Lou
"I can use some magic!  You know, when I borrowed the Fire spell book from
 Father's room?" (note: "Father" here means priest, or the owner of the
 orphanage Lou and Chad were in.)

Chad
"Lou, don't force yourself.  You can't hurt people, can you?"

Lou
"But..."

Chad
"I'm going to avenge Father.  Lou, you should stay with the others."

Lou
"I'm not going to hide any more!  Everyone, everyone just disappears when I'm
 not looking...!  Father, you...even Ray...  I want to fight to protect the
 people I care for.  I want to protect, and not just be protected!"

Chad
"Lou...  All right then, let's crush Bern as soon as possible and go meet
 everybody else!"

Lou
"Yeah!"


== Battle with Slater ==

Slater
"I-I won't lose!  If I don't win...oh...no...!!!"


== Defeating Slater ==

Slater
"Sir Narshen...please...have mercy...!!"


== After beating the map ==

*Inside castle*

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  We have found Lord Hector in the dungeon level!"

Roy
"Really!?  Is it all right?"

Merlinus
"He's severely wounded..."

*Hector appears*

Hector
"Roy..."

Roy
"Lord Hector!  What an awful wound...!  We must treat it!  Here, lean on my
 shoulder..."

Hector
"It's all right...I won't last much longer..."

Roy
"Lord Hector..."

Hector
"I was taken by surprise...I never would have guessed that Bern had resurrected
 the Dragons...!"

Roy
"Dragons!?"

Hector
"Yes...the Dragons that we humans fought in the past..."

Roy
"The Scouring?  I have heard of it.  A long time ago, two races that each had
 half of Elibe, the humans and the Dragons, fought over total control of the
 continent..."

Hector
"Right...the "Eight Heroes"...defeated the Dragons and led us humans...to
 vic...tory..."

Roy
"How did Bern use the Dragons...?"

Hector
"I...have no idea...but...the Dragons had control of what is now Bern in the
 past...and Hartmut, one of the "Eight Heroes"...is the founder of Bern...
 perhaps...the reason...lies there...cough cough..."

Roy
"Lord Hector!"

Hector
"Roy...go to Ostia...!  ...You must...lead what is left of the Lycia Alliance
 Army...instead of me..."

Roy
"Me...?  But..."

Hector
"Don't worry...in Ostia...are weapons that....are effective against Dragons..."

Roy
"Weapons...?"

Hector
"I have already told this to Lilina...please take care of her too...she...may
 seem strong...but she is still a child...please...give her support..."

Roy
"...Yes, I will."

Hector
"...Lilina...one...more.........time...  ...!!"

*Hector dies*

                    Chapter 4: The Collapse of the Alliance
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

Respecting Hector's last wishes, Roy made his way west toward Ostia.

On the way there, Roy passes through the Laus territory, governed by Duke Eric.

At a glance, Laus is a peaceful territory with vast meadows and clear streams,
but there was great skullduggery going on behind the scenes...


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Narshen goes to meet Eric*

Eric (the guy with the mustache)
"Ah, Sir Narshen."

Narshen
"Lord Eric.  I have not praised your wise decision of turning against Lycia to
 come to our side yet."

Eric
"There is no future for us if we are to be chained down by old, moldy
 traditions, sir."

Narshen
"That, my friend, is a wise way of thinking.  Now, where is the gift that you
 promised me?  She does not seem to be here."

Eric
"Ah, yes!  I have prepared her in a separate room.  She is a naive girl, you
 see.  When I told her that I would let her meet her brother, she came right
 along with us.  You over there!  Bring her here!"

*Clarine appears*

Clarine (the blond haired girl)
"What is this room?  Where is my brother Klein?"

Narshen
"Welcome, Lady Clarine."

Clarine
"Who might you be?"

Narshen
"I am Narshen, one of Bern's Three Dragon Lords.  My Lady, I shall play with
 you instead of your brother.  Hehehe..."

Clarine
*laughs*

Narshen
"?  What is so amusing, my Lady?"

Clarine
"You?  Instead of my brother?  Take a good look in the mirror.  Your clothing,
 your hair, your speech...every aspect of you completely lacks finesse."

Narshen
"Lacks finesse!?  Me, lacking finesse!?"

Clarine
"Comparing you and my brother is like comparing a turkey to a peacock!"

Narshen
"You, you vermin!!  Saying that I lack finesse, of all things!!"

*A Soldier appears*

Soldier
"Sir Narshen, I have just received a report that Castle Araphen has been
 retaken by the enemy!"

Narshen
"What!  What happened to Slater?"

Soldier
"Er...his whereabouts are unknown, sir.  The enemy has been reported as being
 Roy, son of the Duke of Pherae."

Narshen
"Damn!  Lord Eric, lock the girl up in some cell.  I shall have much 'fun' with
 her when I return!  You, close down the highroad leading to Ostia.  This Roy
 figure might pass by."

Soldier
"Yes sir!"

*Narshen leaves the castle*


== 2nd Turn ==

*Inside cell*

Clarine
"They shall pay for locking me up in here..."

Rutgar (voice only)
"...Hey."

Clarine
"Is someone there!?"

Rutgar (the guy with long dark brown hair and red cloak)
"I'm a mercenary hired by Lord Eric.  He wants to see you."

Clarine
"I refuse.  I do not wish to meet with such lower-class people."

Rutgar
"...Just get over here!"

Clarine
"Let go!  You shall pay!  Do you know who I am!?"

Rutgar
"......"

Clarine
"Let go, I say!"


== 3rd Turn ==

*Inside castle*

Clarine
"I said, let go!"

Rutgar
"Shut up.  You won't be able to escape with all the noise you're making."

Clarine
"!  Then you're..."

Rutgar
"I've prepared a horse for you over there by that tree.  Get on it and leave
 while you can."

Clarine
"...Why are you helping me?"

Rutgar
"I have hatred against Bern."

Clarine
"Hatred?"

Rutgar
"It's none of your business."

Clarine
"Putting it that way makes me more curious."

Rutgar
"Time's running short.  Go!"

Clarine
"......"

*Clarine leaves the castle*

Clarine
"This is in the middle of a battlefield!  What was that man thinking!?  A
 proper gentleman should escort the lady to her mansion!  Well, putting that
 aside...I came all the way here on my own to meet my brother, and now look at
 the state I'm in...  What should I do now?"


== 4th Turn ==

*Pirates appear from the fort near the bottom of the map ==

Pirate
"Heh...all this crap about Lycia and Bern or whatever.  People of nobility have
 so much to worry about.  Well, we can't complain 'cause we make our living off
 of turmoil.  Hehehe..."

*Pirates start to advance to destroy the villages*


== 5th Turn ==

*Inside castle*

Eric
"Ah, there you are!"

Rutgar
"What do you want?"

Eric
"Our forces are having trouble out there.  Take some more troops and go assist
 them."

Rutgar
"......"

Eric
"Didn't you hear?  I said, go help them!"

Rutgar
"I heard you.  I'll go as soon as I'm ready."

*Rutgar leaves*

Eric
"Hmph, not the friendliest of people.  Well he's supposed to be one of the best
 swordsmen out there."


== 6th Turn ==

*Rutgar comes out of castle*

Rutgar (the Swordfighter)
"......"


== Conversation (Clarine, Roy; but includes Merlinus)

Clarine
"Pardon me, you over there!"

Roy
"Me?"

Clarine
"Who else?  You are the leader of this group, are you not?"

Roy
"Yes."

Clarine
"That is most convenient.  All right then, you are to protect me."

Roy
"Excuse me?"

Clarine
"Are you deaf?  I said that you are going to protect me from harm."

Merlinus
"Mind your mouth, young lady!"

Clarine
"Please step back.  I was not addressing you."

Merlinus
"What!?  Who do you think..."

Roy
"Now, now, Merlinus...  It looks like she's being pursued by the castle's
 soldiers.  That's why she wants us to guard her.  Right?"

Clarine
"Um, yes!  Yes, that is correct."

Merlinus
"What...what impudence!  Our army isn't so lenient that we are going to take
 along some girl who would be of absolutely no use!"

Clarine
"My name is Clarine, not 'girl.'  And I am not of no use!  I can use these
 staves to heal wounded allies."

Roy
"So you will fight alongside us?"

Clarine
"...Yes!  Of course...I would certainly not ask to be protected without doing
 anything in return!"

Roy
"Thank you for joining!  We're going up against Bern, so we need all the people
 we can recruit.  I'm Roy.  Pleased to meet you, Clarine."

Clarine
"I am also pleased..."

*Clarine steps back*

Clarine
"Hmph!  I will not be friendly with you..."

*Clarine joins*


== Conversation (Clarine, Rutgar) ==

Clarine
"Oh!  You are..."

Rutgar
"What, you're still here?"

Clarine
"'Still here!?'  You just abandon me in the middle of a battlefield and you
 have the nerve to say that!?  I could have been killed!"

Rutgar
"Then you're lucky that you're still alive.  Is there anything else you need to
 say to me?"

Clarine
"Just a minute!  You are just going to walk away after abandoning me?  I do not
 think so.  A proper gentleman should take responsibility for his actions."

Rutgar
"Responsibility?  What responsibility?"

Clarine
"If a gentleman rescues a lady, he must also escort her to her mansion!  I've
 never heard any story from any bard of the man just abandoning the lady."

Rutgar
"...What in the world are you talking about?"

Clarine
"Besides, did you not have a grudge against Bern?  Then you shouldn't be
 trying to fight us, who are going up against Bern."

Rutgar
"What?  Wait!  Is that true?"

Clarine
"?  Is what true?"

Rutgar
"Is the army that you're in really fighting against Bern!?"

Clarine
"Yes...the leader named Roy or something said so."

Rutgar
"...All right."

Clarine
"?"

Rutgar
"I'm going to join your army.  Happy now?"

Clarine
"Ah...I guess so."

*Rutgar leaves*

Clarine
"Wait!  The important thing is not to fight Bern, but to protect me! ...*sigh*"

*Rutgar joins*

Eric

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  The Laus soldiers are retreating."

Roy
"Okay, good.  Tell everyone to get some rest."

Merlinus
"Yes."

*Merlinus leaves*

Guinevere
"Roy...are you all right?"

Roy
"I would never have guessed that Lord Eric would turn to Bern's side...I
 thought the members of the Lycia Alliance had a strong bonding to each other.
 Damn Bern!  Playing dirty like this!"

Guinevere
"...I apologize."

Roy
"Oh...I'm sorry!  I wasn't even thinking about your feelings..."

Guinevere
"No...you are right."

Roy
"We will now proceed west towards Ostia.  But we can no longer trust the other
 dukes and now that Lord Hector has passed away, there may no longer be a
 peaceful way to end this war.  My lady, do you plan on returning to Bern?  If
 you need anything..."

Guinevere
"No, please allow me to stay, if it would not be a burden."

Roy
"It would never be a burden!  But why do you wish to stay?"

Guinevere
"My brother is wrong.  He is dragging the Dragons into a human war.  If he
 thinks that that is the way to liberate the world, I must stop him."

Roy
"To liberate the world?"

Guinevere
"Yes, he has always been talking about liberating the world.  He is saying that
 this war is to do so."

Roy
"What does he mean?"

Guinevere
"I do not know...  But my brother is not the kind of person that would think
 about taking over the world.  So he must have a very important reason for
 conquering Elibe.  Still, that is no excuse to cause war killing innocent
 people..."

Roy
"Princess Guinevere..."

===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

Lord Eric, Duke of Laus, had been working with Bern against his allies of
Lycia.  This gave Roy further shock.

Roy had the impression that Eric wasn't the only traitor around.

Lycia, where Roy had grown up in, was no longer a safe place to be either.

Heading for Ostia, Roy decided to move through the mountains where people
seldom went to avoid unnecessary trouble.


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Inside castle*

Bandit
"Boss!  Our guys that went down to the village just got back."

Dory (Boss)
"All right, then let's go on our usual visit down to the village and gather up
 all the loot."

Bandit
"Yeah, but boss, something's different today.  There's an army stationed real
 close to us!"

Dory
"An army!?  What the hell is an army doin' way up here in the mountains!?"

Bandit
"They look like Lycia's troops."

Dory
"Lycia?  Then that ain't a problem...  They gotta be the remainders of the
 army that got their ass kicked by Bern.  Then we can beat them."

Bandit
"Oh yeah, boss!"

Dory
"Well we still gotta take our precautions.  Maybe we can rake up some loot from
 them too!  All right boys, let's take 'em on!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Merlinus
"A villager is here to see you, Master Roy.  Hey, you, wait just a second..."

*Villager appears*

Villager
"Oh!  Are you Roy, from the Pherae family?"

Roy
"Yes.  How may I help you?"

Villager
"Sir!  We wish for you to defeat the bandits!"

Roy
"Bandits?"

Villager
"There's a pack of bandits that have made their base in an old castle near the
 cliffs."

Roy
"Where are the castle guards?"

Villager
"They fled once they heard that Lycia lost to Bern...  We villagers were left
 behind.  We spend our days in fear of bandit attacks."

Roy
"......"

Villager
"We have no one else to ask.  Please, help us!"

Merlinus
"Master Roy, we must keep up our pace towards Ostia..."

Roy
"Yes, I know.  But we can't just ignore people in need of help!"

Merlinus
"Master Roy!?"

Villager
"You will help us!?  Thank you!  Please make use of the gate.  It will take you
 right next to the castle."

Roy
"Okay."

Villager
"Then I will go and make arrangements for the gate to be opened."

*Villager leaves*

Roy
"Merlinus!  We're going to the castle to drive off the bandits!"

Merlinus
"Sigh...so full of energy when you're young."

Yodel (Bishop with white beard)
"Thank you, Dorothy.  Please tell Saul as well."

Dorothy (Archer with brown hair)
"Yes, Bishop Yodel."

*Yodel leaves*

Dorothy
"But where did Father Saul go?  How am I supposed to guard him if he keeps
 disappearing?"

*Scene switches to Saul*

Girl
"Er...Father Saul, thank you for your offer, but maybe not today..."

Saul (Cleric with purple hair)
"Come now, please don't be so cold.  We can sit comfortably tonight and you can
 listen to my preaching..."

Dorothy
"There you are!  Father Saul!"

Saul
"Oops.  Dorothy..."

Girl
"Well then, good day."

*Girl leaves*

Saul
"Please wait!  ...tsk tsk...  Now look at what you've done, Dorothy.  She fled
 because you advanced upon us with such a scary look on your face."

Dorothy
"This is the face I was born with!  Father Saul, you were hitting on another
 girl."

Saul
"You make it sound so evil!  I was simply offering a helping hand to those
 poor souls in need."

Dorothy
"Why does that have to be tonight?"

Saul
"...Well, putting that aside...  Did you not have something to tell me?"

Dorothy
"Oh, right.  The Lycia Alliance Army is supposed to be somewhere around here."

Saul
"What!  Princess Guinevere is still with them, is she not?"

Dorothy
"Yes, if the reports from the Elimine Supreme Church are accurate."

Saul
"Let's hurry!  We must go and join that army."

Dorothy
"......"

Saul
"What is the matter, Dorothy?"

Dorothy
"You want to join because Princess Guinevere is soooo beautiful, right?"

Saul
"Don't be ridiculous...  Come now, we must hurry."

Dorothy
"Yes sir!"

*Dorothy and Saul leave the village*


== When stopping next to the gate ==

Man
"Oh, it's you guys.  I heard that you were coming.  Hang on a sec, I'll open

*Inside Castle

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  Some priest from the Elimine Church is here looking for you...
 and Princess Guinevere!"

Roy
"He knew that Princess Guinevere was with us?"

Merlinus
"Yes.  I wonder how."

Roy
"...I don't know either.  Anyway, I'll go talk to him by myself."

Guinevere
"Roy, I will be fine.  I also wish to meet this priest."

Roy
"Princess?"

Guinevere
"The relationship between my brother and the Elimine Church has been becoming
 bitter lately.  I do not believe that the Church would be hostile to us."

Roy
"I see.  Well then, Merlinus, let the priest pass."

*Merlinus leaves.  Saul appears*

Saul
"Master Roy, it is a pleasure to meet you at last.  I am Saul, a priest of the
 Elimine Church."

Roy
"Nice to meet you."

Saul
"And also...  Oh!  You must be Princess Guinevere!  You are so beautiful, as
 the rumors tell!"

Guinevere
"...?"

Saul
"Ahem...Your Highness, I wish to know the location of the 'Fire Emblem.'  You
 have it with you, do you not?"

Guinevere
"!!  Why do you know that?"

Saul
"The Head Church in Bern informed us that the Fire Emblem had mysteriously
 disappeared from the Temple of Seals.  They also informed me that you left
 Bern at exactly the same time."

Guinevere
"......"

Saul
"I was sent by the Church to confirm the truth.  Why did you take the Fire
 Emblem?"

Guinevere
"...I wished to stop my brother."

Saul
"Your brother...King Zephiel, the king of Bern."

Guinevere
"Yes."

Saul
"Do you know what the Fire Emblem is used for?"

Guinevere
"...The Fire Emblem is a key that awakens the sword that was used to slay the
 mighty Dragons in the past.  Or at least, that was what my father told me.
 But I am unsure about how exactly the Fire Emblem or the sword work.  However,
 the possibility of the Fire Emblem falling into enemy hands seemed to worry
 my brother...a lot."

Saul
"So you took the Fire Emblem, hoping to make your brother believe that it fell
 into enemy hands so that he would stop his conquest?"

Guinevere
"Yes...but war broke out anyway."

Saul
"As a representative of the Elimine Church, I wish to ask you this.  What do
 you plan to do from here?"

Guinevere
"...Must I answer at this moment?"

Saul
"Ah, so Your Highness has a plan."

Guinevere
"Yes.  I have not given up hope of settling this war without bloodshed."

Saul
"I see.  In that case, please allow me to accompany Your Highness' journey."

Guinevere
"If Roy accepts."

Roy
"I have no objection."

Guinevere
"I apologize, Roy.  I seem to be such a burden on you..."

Roy
"No, not at all, Princess.  I hope we can still end this war peacefully."

Guinevere
"...Yes, I hope so as well."

== On the World Map ==

After taking Saul, a priest of the Elimine Church, and Dorothy, his bodyguard,
into their ranks, Roy and company crossed the mountains and entered the Toria
lands, located to the Southeast of Ostia.

Toria is governed by Lord Orun, a half-brother to Lord Hector and known for his
peaceful and calm personality.

Orun's home castle seemed to be a safe place to stay for Roy.

However, Bern had had its reach in the lands of Toria as well...


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Inside Castle.  Cath appears*

Cath (Thief with reddish-brown hair and green ribbon)
"Well, sneaking in here was fine, but there's nothing worth stealing!  Hmm, the
 room to the north seems to have treasure, but the security is so tight...
 ...Are those footsteps?"

*Cath hides.  Wagner and some soldiers appear*

Wagner (Boss)
"I trust everything is under control."

Soldier
"Yes, our soldiers are stationed all around this area."

Wagner
"Lead them into the castle and ambush them, just as we did with Lord Orun."

Soldier
"Yes sir."

Wagner
"I want Princess Guinevere alive.  The rest you can do with as you wish.
 Now go."

*Soldier leaves*

Wagner
"Hahaha...The 'Grey Wolf's' granddaughter, and now Princess Guinevere...  
 If we have this much to offer, Bern will be sure to allow us on their side."

*Wagner leaves.  Cath emerges from her hiding place"

Cath
"Hmmm...now this is getting interesting."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Merlinus
"Well, for once we can get a good night's rest, Master Roy!"

Roy
"I wonder.  That man who said he was Lord Orun's advisor..."

Merlinus
"Wagner?  Did he bother you in any way?"

Roy
"He seemed to be in control of everything, as if he owned the place.  And we
 can't even go near Lord Orun because he's ill?  Something seems wrong..."

Merlinus
"Hmm...come to think of it, you do have a point, Master Roy."

*Saul and Dorothy appear*

Saul
"Excuse me, Master Roy.  There seem to be an awful lot of soldiers patrolling
 the area."

Dorothy
"I think we're being spied on."

Roy
"What?  No..."

Cath
"You noticed?  Impressive."

Roy
"!?  Show yourself, intruder!"

*Saul and Dorothy leave.  Cath appears*

Cath
"Hi!"

Roy
"And...who might you be?"

Cath
"Aw, we can talk about me later.  You know, I was overhearing that Wagner guy's
 conversation in the main hall, and they said they're going to ambush you
 guys."

Roy
"Lord Orun would never do that!"

Cath
"Oh yeah, that person's dead.  That dark magician assassinated him or
 something."

Roy
"What!?"

Cath
"And he's going to capture you guys and turn you into Bern so he can join up
 with them."

Merlinus
"Hold it, Master Roy!  Don't trust people like this so easily!"

Cath
"You can believe me or not, it's up to you.  But don't come crying to me when
 you find yourselves in trouble!"

*Guinevere appears*

Guinevere
"Roy...if what she says is true..."

Roy
"Let's set a trap.  We'll pretend like we're leaving.  If Wagner is after us,
 he'll do something to persuade us to stay."

Cath
"If you're gonna go outside, use the room in the north!  That room leads to the
 courtyard, so you'll be out of here in no time.  Good luck!"

*Cath leaves*

*Roy and company try to go outside.  Wagner chases hurriedly*

Wagner
"Oh, Master Roy!  Where are you going?  We will escort you into the castle, so
 please come this way."

Roy
"My apologies, sir, but I have just received a report of a matter of
 importance.  Excuse us, but we must be going now."

Wagner
"Oh...  But I surely cannot see you off without paying my respects and offering
 you a place to stay!  Lord Orun would never forgive me for that!  Please,
 Master Roy, will you not spend just one night here with us?"

Roy
"Do not worry, I shall tell Lord Orun myself that you are not to blame.  I
 ought to pay my respects to him anyway.  Please show us to his room."

Wagner
"Like I said, Master Roy, Lord Orun is ill and cannot see you."

Roy
"I am sorry sir, but if we cannot see him, we have no reason to stay here.  We
 are in a hurry.  Excuse us, but we must be off."

Wagner
"You are leaving...no matter what?"

Roy
"......"

Wagner
"Then I have no choice but to kill you now!  Everyone!  Attack!  Kill them all,
 but leave Princess Guinevere alive!"

*Wagner leaves*

Roy
"Damn!  So they were after us!"

*Saul appears*

Saul
"Master Roy!  Even if we escape this way, we'll just be attacked from behind!"

Roy
"Then we'll take over this castle!  Everyone, follow me!"

Roy
"...So you're the granddaughter of the leader of one the clans in Sacae."

Sue
"Grandpa is the strongest warrior in Sacae.  People call him the 'Silver Wolf.'"

Roy
"The Silver Wolf...I have heard of him.  But what are you doing in Lycia?  Sacae
 is to the east."

Sue
"Bern invaded Sacae, so we of the Kutolah clan have decided to fight.  So
 grandpa let the women and children escape to Lycia, but..."

Roy
"But?"

Sue
"There was a traitor.  The Djute clan, who have turned to Bern's side, ambushed
 us."

Roy
"......"

Sue
"We were all separated.  I found my way into these lands and was rescued by
 Lord Orun.  But his advisor Wagner assassinated Lord Orun and took over the
 castle."

Roy
"And then you were captured..."

Sue
"Is your army fighting Bern?"

Roy
"Yes, Bern has invaded our lands as well."

Sue
"Then let me go with you.  Fighting Bern will let me rescue grandpa.  I also
 want to avenge Lord Orun."

Roy
"We're headed for Ostia.  It's in the opposite direction as Sacae, but is that
 okay with you?"

Sue
"I don't mind.  No matter where we are, neither our Mother the Earth nor our
 Father the Sky will ever disappear."

*Sue leaves.  Merlinus appears*

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  The spy I sent to Ostia has just returned, and he says that Ostia
 is in a state of chaos!"

Roy
"What!"

Merlinus
"There's been a rebellion among those who want to surrender to Bern."

Roy
"Is Lilina safe?"

Merlinus
"The spy says that she has been taken as hostage.  Currently, the rebel group
 has taken over Castle Ostia and fighting the soldiers who wish to retake the
 castle and Lady Lilina."

Roy

                       Chapter 7: The Rebellion at Ostia
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

Hearing of the rebellion, Roy hurried his pace toward Ostia.

According to the information that he had gathered on the way, General Leygance,
one of Lord Hector's advisors, had started a rebellion with Lieutenant Devias
to sell Ostia to Bern.

Lilina had been captured and taken hostage by Leygance.  She was then
imprisoned inside Castle Ostia, probably because Leygance thought that he could
use her for something later on.

Hearing that report, Roy and company entered Ostia city in an effort to rescue
Lilina.  Ostia, the largest and most active city in Lycia, was to become a
battlefield, stained with blood.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Leygance (General)
"Devias, how is the city doing?"

Devias (Armor Knight.  Boss of this map)
"They've been quiet so far, sir.  But the mercenary knights from Ilia that
 Hector had hired are showing no sign of submission."

Leygance
"Hmph!  What's wrong with them?  We're telling them we'll pay more!"

Devias
"Well, Ilia's mercenary knights are known to never betray their masters."

Leygance
"You fool, I know that!  General Narshen, one of the Three Dragon Lords, is
 soon going to arrive!  If we don't even have Ostia under our control until
 then, he'll laugh at us!"

Devias
"O-Of course, sir."

Leygance
"We may have to use Lilina to bargain with the mercenary knights...if we use
 her as a hostage, they should surrender to us.  But that must be a last
 resort.  We will fight them ourselves with the help of the Dragon Knights sent
 from Bern to crush Ilia's forces!  Devias, I want you to clear out the town
 and guard the castle gate.  I will defend the inside of the castle."

Devias
"Yes sir!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"Merlinus!  Around how many of Ostia's troops have joined the rebellion?"

Merlinus
"Quite a few, I'm afraid.  They have forgotten their loyalty towards Lord
 Hector, and are simply flocking towards the one with more power, which is
 Bern.  How disgraceful!"

Roy
"I see..."

Merlinus
"But there is good news too, Master Roy!  There is a band of mercenary knights
 from Ilia that are willing to join forces with us and attack the rebels."

Guinevere
"Mercenary knights from Ilia?"

Merlinus
"Yes.  They said that they signed a contract with Lord Hector that they would
 fight Bern alongside Ostia's troops."

Roy
"That's fortunate.  But when the mercenary knights hear the news that Lord
 Hector has passed away, that contract would probably be broken.  Do you think
 it's possible for us to officially hire them into our service?"

Merlinus
"I would have thought so too, Master Roy.  However, they already knew of Lord
 Hector's death.  They offered to fight alongside us anyway."

Guinevere
"Why do they go that far, when they are mercenaries?"

Merlinus
"Ilia is a snowy nation with a very harsh climate, so the land isn't very
 arable.  Therefore, sending out mercenaries to fight for pay is one of Ilia's
 main sources of economic input.  I've also heard that mercenaries from Ilia
 put trust over anything else and that they never betray their employers.  The
 rumors are true, I see."

Roy
"Then they should be powerful allies."

Merlinus
"Yes!  Fortune is still with us, Master Roy!  But...I heard from the mercenary
 knights that one of the Three Dragon Lords is coming here with a legion of
 Dragon Knights.  If they should join the rebels, then our chances of defeating
 them would become extremely slim."

Guinevere
"Roy...what are you going to do?"

Roy
"...The Kingdom of Etruria might join us."

Guinevere
"Etruria!?  Would that be possible?"

Roy
"General Cecilia, the Sorcery General of Etruria, was my teacher in battle arts
 while I was studying in Ostia.  I have a feeling that she would be willing to
 join forces with us."

Merlinus
"I would object, Master Roy!  If we depend on Etruria to solve our own matters
 in Lycia, we'll be sure to be their laughing stock for decades to come!"

Roy
"That's possible...but this is a matter of life or death for Lycia.  I think
 that we should go for the safest and most definite option rather than worry
 about the consequences and do nothing, which would most likely lead to the
 extinction of the Lycia."

Merlinus
"...Master Roy."

Roy
"We have to move quickly!  I'll write a letter to General Cecilia.  Merlinus, I
 need you to get the letter to her as quickly as possible."

Merlinus
"...Yes, Master Roy!  You are right.  I shall send the letter to her as soon as
 you are ready."

Roy
"Thanks.  All right, everybody!  Let's retake Ostia!"


== 2nd Turn ==

*The mercenary knights from Ilia appear*

Zealot (Paladin with black hair, white armor)
"It looks like the Lycia Alliance have started attacking the rebels.  All
 right, we're going too.  Let's go and drive off the rebel forces!"

Treck (Social Knight with brown hair and sleepy-looking face)
"Will do, sir."

Zealot
"Wait, where's Noah?"

Treck
"Ummm, I think he went to the Arena a while ago.  He said he's coaching a young
 girl in the sword arts."

Zealot
"That Noah, a coach?  That's unusual...well, no matter.  Once he finds out that
 we're attacking the rebels, he'll catch us to us."

Treck
"Yup."

Zealot
"All right, let's go."

*Zealot and Treck appear as NPCs*


== 3rd Turn ==

*Noah and Fir appear at the Arena*

Noah (Social Knight with blue armor)
"Looks like they've started attacking the rebels.  Well then, Fir, I should get
 going soon."

Fir (Swordfighter with black hair tied in a ponytail)
"Thank you for coaching me, Sir Noah."

Noah
"No problem.  But I must say you surprised me.  You suddenly came up to me and
 said, 'I want to fight a match with you!'"

Fir
"I-I'm sorry, Sir Noah.  It was my first time in the Arena..."

Noah
"If you had asked someone else, you would have been killed.  You need to look
 your opponent over very carefully before choosing to fight."

Fir
"And you must not hesitate to surrender if it looks like you're going to lose.
 Right?"

Noah
"Exactly.  You can always win back your money, but if you lose your life, it's
 all over."

Fir
"Yes!"

Noah
"What are your plans now?  Are you going to stay here and work on your sword
 skills?"

Fir
"No.  I'm planning to travel to the Western Isles."

Noah
"The Western Isles?  Why?"

Fir
"They're building a new mine there, and I've heard that a lot of people are
 going there looking for work.  They must be strong people if they're miners,
 so I thought it would be the ideal place to find people to fight for my
 training.  And besides..."

Noah
"Besides?"

Fir
"The Western Isles is where my mother first met my father.  She's dead now, but
 when she was my age, she was also traveling around the world training her
 sword skills."

Noah
"I see.  ...You surprise me again."

Fir
"?"

Noah
"All you were saying at first was, 'I want to become strong, I want to become
 strong,' right?   So I thought swordplay was all you had interest in.  But you
 were training because you wanted to be like your mother?  I'm happy to see
 that you do have a cute side!"

Fir
"What??  ...Sir Noah!  Please don't tease me!"

Noah
"Hahaha!"

*Fir leaves the map.  Noah appears as NPC*


== 9th Turn ==
Devias
"The reinforcements should be arriving from the south soon.  Hehe...that Lycia
 army'll be shocked when they get hit from behind!"


== Conversation (Roy, Zealot)

Roy
"Excuse me sir, are you Sir Zealot of the Ilia Mercenary Knights?"

Zealot
"And you are?"

Roy
"My name is Roy.  I'm the leader of the army that's fighting the rebels."

Zealot
"You?  Impressive...I was expecting somebody a little older."

Roy
"I am here, respecting the will of Lord Hector."

Zealot
"Lord Hector...  We've lost a valuable person.  He was a true warrior."

Roy
"Yes, and I want to retake Ostia, for Lord Hector's sake!  And Lilina's
 sake..."

Zealot
"All right.  Then we'll help you as much as we can."

Roy
"Thank you for your assistance."

Zealot
"You can thank me after we've retaken the castle.  Come, we must concentrate on
 the enemy right now!"

Roy
"Yes!"

*Zealot joins*


== Conversation (Zealot, Noah) ==

Zealot
"Noah!"

Noah
"Sir Zealot, I'm sorry that I'm late."

Zealot
"I heard you were coaching a young girl in the sword arts."

Noah
"Yes...  She was a little naive, so I couldn't help it."

Zealot
"Is she not with you?"

Noah
"She said she was headed for the Western Isles."

Zealot
"I see.  Pity, I thought she might have been of some help if she were still
 here.  But you, who ordinarily wouldn't start nosing around into other
 people's matters, a coach?  Now that is unusual."

Noah
"Do you think so, sir?"

Zealot
"Yes.  Treck and I were joking around saying that you might have fancied the
 girl.  But, it is in the Arena, so probably that wasn't the case."

Noah
"......"

*Noah joins*


== Conversation (Zealot, Treck) ==

Zealot
"Treck, we are now going into the Lycia army's service."

Treck
"Okay, sir."

Zealot
"Hm, not the most enthusiastic response.  You don't like the idea?"

Treck
"Eh?  No, I have no problem with it."

Zealot
"Oh, all right.  Just thought I'd ask."

Treck
"Lycia...  Nah, we shouldn't have much trouble."

*Treck joins*


== Battle with Devias ==

Devias
"You...you beat Bern's Dragon Knights!?  Ergh...I'll not let you pass here!"

*If you use Bors*

Devias
"Bors!  You returned!"

Bors
"Causing a rebellion during Lord Hector's absence!  That is unforgivable!"


== Defeating Devias ==

Devias
"General Leygance...please be careful...these people are...strong..."


== After beating the map ==

*Inside castle*

Roy
"Okay, the city should be under control now.  Now we have to recapture Castle
 Ostia and rescue Lilina!"

Merlinus
"Master Roy, we are currently breaking down the gate to enter the castle.  I
 understand that you want to get in quickly, but we are working as fast as we
 can, so please be patient!"

Roy
"...Lilina."

Merlinus
"Speaking of Lady Lilina...what do you think of Lord Hector's story, Master
 Roy?"

Roy
"You mean the thing about the Dragons?  They weren't myth, they were real...
 Lord Hector is one of the greatest battle tacticians in Lycia.  And his army
 was decimated in such a short time..."

Merlinus
"Well, Bern's army is among the strongest in Elibe.  I say, those Dragon
 Knights they have are indeed very formidable opponents."

Roy
"Of course the Dragon Knights must have been tough enemies, but the real
 Dragons...I can't even imagine how powerful they must be.  The weapons that
 are effective against Dragons...I wonder what they are?"

Merlinus
"I presume that they must be the Divine Weapons."

Roy
"The Divine Weapons?  The ones that appear in our legends?"

Merlinus
"Yes.  The Divine Weapons were used by the 'Eight Heroes' to defeat the Dragons
 in the Dragon-Human wars."

Roy
"So if we use those weapons, we can fight the Dragons effectively.  But I
 wonder what a Divine Weapon is doing in Ostia?"

Merlinus
"Perhaps Lady Lilina knows that.  Hmm, I wish to know as well.  Oh!  Master
 Roy, our men have finished knocking down the gate.  We can enter now!"

Roy
"All right!  Charge!  We will rescue Lilina no matter what!"

                              Chapter 8: Reunion
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

Ostia's military primarily consists of soldiers in heavy defensive gear, such
as Armor Knights and Generals.  With them, Castle Ostia's defenses have always
been incredibly strong, and for a long time now the castle has been rumored to
be "unconquerable."

However, that rumor was about to be proven wrong.  By Roy, who, ironically,
wished to protect the castle.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Leygance
"What!  The enemy has broken inside the castle?  What the hell was Devias doing
 out there!?  Were those knights from Ilia so strong?  ...Or was the Lycia army
 larger than I expected...  In any case, they have gotten into the
 'unconquerable' Castle Ostia!  We must drive them out, or Bern will most
 certainly look down upon us...  You over there!"

Soldier
"Yes sir!"

Leygance
"Set up the troops all over the castle!  Especially around the throne room!
 Prepare your defenses!  We must not let the Lycia Army get any further into
 the castle!"

Soldier
"Understood sir!"

Leygance
"One more thing.  I want you to discreetly kill Lilina during the battle."

Soldier
"What?  ...Sir, weren't we supposed to keep her alive?"

Leygance
"I was planning on using her as a hostage, but there are still many rebels that
 put faith in her.  If we openly use her as a hostage, those soldiers might
 turn against us."

Soldier
"But in that case sir, they would surely turn on us if we kill her!"

Leygance
"So I said to do it discreetly, didn't I!  Kill her quietly, and pretend that
 she was hit by a stray arrow.  Then we can make the enemy responsible for it!
 Now go!"

Soldier
"Yes, sir..."


== 1st Turn ==

*Asthor appears*

Asthor (Thief with purple hair and wearing a pendant around his head)
"...General Roy of the Lycia Alliance Army, I presume."

Roy
"!  Who are you?  An enemy!?"

Asthor
"No, I'm on your side.  Greetings, my name is Asthor.  I used to work here in
 the service of Lord Hector."

Merlinus
"Excuse me, but what kind of work were you doing?  You certainly don't look
 like one of Ostia's servants..."

Asthor
"My my, aren't we a little rude, old man?  Well, I understand what you're
 thinking.  See, I'm a spy.  I go on secret missions to gather information,
 steal things, check on people...that kind of thing."

Merlinus
"Hmm, I see."

Asthor
"If people can tell that I'm working for a noble just by looking at me, then
 I'm not much of a spy, am I?  Anyway, for a month now I've been running around
 Lycia to gather the latest news.  When I heard about Lord Hector's death in
 Araphen, I returned here as quickly as I could.  Then I see that those idiots
 Leygance and Devias have caused a rebellion!  I didn't make it in time to save
 Lord Hector, but I don't want to be too late for Lady Lilina."

Roy
"Then you'll join us?  Good, then let's work together to rescue her.  Do you
 know where Lilina is?"

Asthor
"Of course, investigating into matters like that is my job.  Lady Lilina is
 locked into a small room in the center of the castle.  And that bastard
 Leygance is sitting on the throne like he owns the place."

Roy
"We have to hurry then.  We must defeat the rebels and rescue Lilina before
 Narshen arrives from Bern!"

*Asthor joins*

*Later in the 1st turn, scene switches to Lilina, in the room in the center*

Lilina
"What's all this noise?  Is there a battle going on?  I wonder what's happening
 outside..."

*Lilina is on your side from the start, so you don't need to recruit her*


== 6th Turn ==

*At northwest corner of castle*

*Barth, Wendy, and Oujay appear*

Oujay (Mercenary with blue hair)
"?  Sir Barth, this is a dead end!"

Barth (Armor Knight with blue armor and a...mohawk?)
"Don't worry.  This wall has cracks in it.  We can break through if we hit it
 a little with our weapons."

Wendy (Armor Knight with pink hair, red armor)
"I wonder where Lady Lilina is?"

Barth
"I have a pretty good idea where she is.  We've known this castle for a long
 time.  Hmm, I do wonder what's causing all the noise, though."

Wendy
"Do you think that there's a battle going on?"

Barth
"Probably.  It could be Ilia's mercenary knights, or if we're lucky, it could
 even be the Lycia Alliance Army."

Wendy
"The Alliance Army?  Then my brother must be with them..."

Barth
"...We don't know if he's still alive.  You shouldn't have high expectations."

Wendy
"Oh...yes."

Oujay
"Sir Barth, you don't have to be so cold.  He's Wendy's only brother, right?"

Barth
"You must never look away from reality."

Oujay
"But..."

Wendy
"It's all right, Oujay.  Sir Barth is right."

Barth
"As an Armor Knight of Ostia, you must never panic, no matter what the
 situation...  Understood, Wendy?"

Wendy
"...Yes."


== 10th Turn ==

*Cath appears in the stairs near the center of the map*

Cath
"Yes!  Just as I thought, they're at each other again.  I mean, how stupid can
 these nobles get?  I can never understand what the fun is in fighting all the
 time.  Oh well, guess I'll swipe what I can."

*Cath starts to move around the map to loot the treasure chests*


== Conversation (Roy, Cath) ==

Roy
"It's you!"

Cath
"Crap...  Er...  What a coincidence!  Hahaha..."

Roy
"...If you're in the battlefield just to steal, you shouldn't be.  It's not
 right."

Cath
"Don't worry.  I only take from the rich who have plenty of money.  No one's
 going to starve or anything."

Roy
"That's not the point."

Cath
"Oh really?  ...Then let me ask you this.  You nobles take food and money from
 the people living in what you call 'your territory'.  Who said that was your
 land anyway?  And you say you're collecting taxes, but what you're doing is
 the same!  Looting!"

Roy
"What!  But we protect the people in return..."

Cath
"But you're not!  You're killing your own people, causing a war like this!"

Roy
"Well...Bern started to invade, so we had fight to defend our people..."

Cath
"So you can just do anything you want as long you say you're protecting us?
 You can burn down villages and ruin our crops?"

Roy
"Burned?  We never...  !  Wait a minute, was your...?

Cath
"...My village was burned to the ground by our marquess.  He said that 'he
 had no choice because he needed to prepare for Bern's attacks.'"

Roy
"Well...that's..."

Cath
"We always only had just enough to eat and survive, and then we just lost
 everything...our homes, our crops...  And then you say not to take from other
 people?  Ha!  You shouldn't be talking!  You bastards from the nobility take
 from us to live in luxury while we suffer!"

Roy
"I...don't know what to say."

Cath
"*sigh*  We're getting all gloomy now.  I really don't like talking about stuff
 like these 'I'm worse off than you so you should pity me' kind of arguments.
 But you're the one who started it."

Roy
"I..."

Cath
"Ah, to heck with this.  It's no fun stealing after a talk like that.  Well, I
 guess I better just bail out then.  See ya!"

Roy
"......"

(Note:  Cath says she's leaving, but she'll still go after the treasure if
 there are any unopened chests left.)


== Conversation (Wendy, Bors) ==

Wendy
"Bors!  You're all right!"

Bors
"Why, is it Wendy?  I'm glad to see that you're okay too.  ...!?  What the...
 What are you wearing!?  Did you apply to become an Ostia Armor Knight or
 something?"

Wendy
"Ah...actually I did.  I was knighted just yesterday."

Bors
"What are you doing...  I thought I told you to leave the fighting to us and
 live your life as you wished!  You didn't need to become an Armor Knight..."

Wendy
"Yes, well I thought about it, and what I truly want is to become a knight."

Bors
"But..."

Wendy
"I don't want to just wait here for you to return from battle.  I want to
 become a knight as great as you."

Bors
"......"

Wendy
"...Bors?"

Bors
"Well, you were always stubborn, weren't you, Wendy?"

Wendy
"Bors..."

Bors
"You should live your life as you wish.  If Mother and Father were alive, they
 would say that as well.  But the way of the knight is no easy feat!"

Wendy
"Yes, I'm prepared!  I will never give up!"


== Conversation (Roy, Lilina) ==

Roy
"Lilina!"

Lilina
"...Roy?  Is it really you?"

Roy
"Yes!"

Lilina
"You came!  Thank you."

Roy
"Thank goodness you're all right.  Here, take this spell book.  Use it to
 defend yourself for the time being."

Lilina
"Thanks."

*Lilina receives a Thunder spell book*


== Conversation (Lilina, Bors) ==

Bors
"Lady Lilina!  You are safe!"

Lilina
"Bors, I am sorry that I worried you."

Bors
"Not at all, my Lady!  You were alive...  That in itself..."

Lilina
"Thank you, Bors.  And you kept your promise that you would protect Roy for me.
 I knew I was doing the right thing when I asked you."

Bors
"Thank you, my Lady!"


== Conversation (Lilina, Barth) ==

Lilina
"Barth!"

Barth
"Lady Lilina!  I am happy to see you are safe."

Lilina
"Barth, you were right.  Leygance was planning a rebellion."

Barth
"......"

Lilina
"I'm sorry...  If I had believed you in the first place, this wouldn't have
 happened."

Barth
"No...  Lady Lilina, you do not have anything to apologize about.  The one to
 be prosecuted is Leygance, who insulted your kind and trusting heart toward
 them.  It is your kindness that we respect the most, my lady."

Lilina
"Barth..."


== Battle with Leygance ==

Leygance
"You vermin of the Alliance Army...  Come.  I shall cut down all of you!"

*If you use Lilina*

Leygance
"Lady Lilina?  Damn, you were supposed to have been dead by now..."

Lilina
"Leygance...why?"

Leygance
"Times are changing, my lady.  I'm just making sure I don't get left behind.
 I'm not like Lord Hector, who was too foolish to recognize the change."

Lilina
"Quiet!  You will not insult my father any further!"

*If you use Bors*

Leygance
"Bors!  So you were still alive."

Bors
"Of course.  Taking over Ostia while we weren't around..."

Leygance
"Is that a problem?  Then try and take it back with your own strength and
 skill!"

*If you use Wendy*

Wendy
"General Leygance!  You shall rest here!"

Leygance
"Ah, Bors' sister, is it?  It's nice to be brave and all, but can you really
 defeat me?"

*If you use Barth*

Barth
"Leygance, you fool!  Are you not ashamed that you betrayed Lord Hector!"

Leygance
"Barth...  Shut up.  Lord Hector's stupidity caused his death.  I do not plan
 on falling with him."

Barth
"Why, you...!"


== Defeating Leygance ==

Leygance
"Why?  You are only to trampled upon by Bern...  Why can you fight so hard...?"


== After beating the map ==

*Inside Castle*

Roy
"We've finally recaptured the castle, Lilina."

Lilina
"Thank you, Roy.  I'm glad that my father didn't have to go through the
 trouble."

Roy
"!"

Lilina
"Roy, is my father still in Araphen?  I heard that it was a tough battle there,
 but does it look like it's going take much longer?"

Roy
"Lilina...haven't you heard anything?"

Lilina
"What?"

Roy
"Lord Hector...has passed away."

Lilina
"What...?"

Roy
"I'm sorry...when we arrived at Castle Araphen it was already under Bern's
 control."

Lilina
"It's not your fault...don't apologize."

Roy
"Lord Hector was already severely wounded when we arrived.  If only we had
 gotten there faster...maybe I could have helped him..."

Lilina
"No...it's okay.  I...was prepared for this...  I'm a warrior's daughter.  I've
 been taught not to panic in times like this."

Roy
"Lilina."

Lilina
"So everyone should have told me...  They're too considerate...  I'm strong too
 you know..."

Roy
"Lilina, you don't have to hold back in front of me."

Lilina
"Roy...I..."

Roy
"It's okay...I'll be with you."

                      Chapter 8 Gaiden: The Blazing Sword
===============================================================================

Requirements:  Lilina's survival in Ch 8

== On the World Map ==

Roy vowed to protect Lilina forever.  However, with Bern coming full force at
them, Roy's army wouldn't stand a chance.

Therefore, they decided to try and take the Divine Weapons before Bern got
their hands on them.  Lilina showed them to a cave in the outskirts of Ostia,
where the first Divine Weapon was hidden.

The cave, located at the foot of a volcano, was going to be a major ordeal for
Roy.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Bandit
"B-Boss!  An army's invading our cave!"

Henning (Boss, Hero)
"What!  How many of 'em are there?"

Bandit
"Dunno, Boss.  I hope there aren't too many of them..."

Henning
"That's strange...  The Lycia dukes should be having bigger problems than
 dealing with bandits like us."

Bandit
"Well?  What do we do?"

Henning
"They probably don't know much about this cave.  Just lure them into stepping
 on the floor tiles where hot lava spurts up and get rid of 'em."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Lilina
"Roy, over here!  The Divine Weapon is located on the other side of this lava
 pit."

Roy
"Lilina, are you all right?  Have you calmed down?"

Lilina
"Well...maybe I'm not fully all right, but now isn't the time to be sad.  I
 need to protect Ostia, like my father before me."

Roy
"All right...  Good for you, Lilina."

Lilina
"I'm okay because you're with me, Roy..."

Roy
"What?  Did you just say something?"

Lilina
"No, nothing.  Anyway, I'll tell you what I know about this Divine Weapon.
 The one here is the sword that was used by Roland, one of the 'Eight Heroes.'"

Roy
"That Roland...is that King Roland, the first king of Ostia?"

Lilina
"Right, he's our ancestor.  The sword is called 'The Blazing Sword' or the
 Durandal."

Roy
"The Durandal...the name has a strange echo to it.  So Roland used the Durandal
 to fight the Dragons during the Scouring."

Lilina
"That's how the legend goes.  They also say that after the war ended, Roland
 returned to his hometown of Ostia.  He raised the Durandal high above his
 head, and the land that had become barren after the war suddenly became lush
 with vegetation and life again."

Roy
"Wow...that must be some sword."

Lilina
"Well, it's a weapon that can defeat Dragons.  It must have some special powers
 in it."

Roy
"Yes.  ...Oh yeah, I heard that a group of bandits has made its base here.  Is
 it going to be all right?"

Lilina
"?  Is what going to be all right?"

Roy
"I mean, there's always the chance that they might have taken the Durandal."

Lilina
"No, don't worry.  Only those who are Roland's successors know how to remove
 the Durandal from its sheath."

Roy
"Oh, okay.  Then everything's fine.  All we have to do is get rid of the
 bandits and obtain the Durandal."


== Battle with Henning ==

Henning
"*sigh*  What are you guys doing in a place like this?  Oh well, but since
 you're already here...I can't let you guys go, can I?"


== Defeating Henning ==

Henning
"Crap...I knew this would happen..."


== After beating the map ==

Lilina
"Roy!  Here it is!"

Roy
"So this is the Durandal...  It's a very large sword.  I don't many of us are
 going to be able to swing it."

Lilina
"But history has it that Roland was a small man.  I think it's the person's
 skill in the sword that determines whether he can use it or not."

Roy
"Then if I become better with my sword, I can use it as well?"

Lilina
"Well...maybe."

Roy
"Maybe?  Come on...at least say 'probably.'"

Lilina
"*laughs*"

*Obtained Durandal*

*Merlinus appears*

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  Bern's Dragon Knights have appeared at Castle Ostia!"

Roy
"What!  They got here already?"

*Scene switches to outside.  Inside Ostia city*

Narshen
"Hehehe...  Are you Roy?  I must thank you for getting rid of that idiot
 Leygance for me.  Now, you will leave Ostia to me."

Roy
"Don't be ridiculous!  Who would give Ostia to the likes of you...!"

Narshen
"Oh?  Then do you wish to fight us with that sad little group of yours?  That's
 fine with me.  I shall annihilate you, as I did with Hector!"

Roy
"Damn!"

A voice from outside the map
"That's enough!"

*Troops from Etruria appear and surround Narshen's group*

Soldier
"General Narshen!  A legion has arrived from Etruria!"

Narshen
"I can see that, you fool!  Why..."

Percival (Paladin with blond hair)
"I am Percival, Knight General of Etruria.  Yesterday, Sorcery General Cecilia
 informed me that Ostia had requested Etruria's protection.  Therefore, Ostia
 is to become a protectorate of Etruria as of now."

Narshen
"What...!"

Cecilia (Valkyuria with green hair)
"You seem discontent.  We are prepared for battle.  But can those Dragon
 Knights of yours stand a chance against all of us?"

Narshen
"You...!"

Cecilia
"I am Cecilia, Sorcery General of Etruria.  Ostia is now under our protection."

Narshen
"Argh...you...you...!!!"

Soldier
"General Narshen, please control your temper!  General Percival is one of the
 strongest warriors in Etruria.  And with General Cecilia here as well, we'll
 be slaughtered!"

Narshen
"I know!  We're leaving!  Cecilia, is it?  Watch your back from now on!"

*Narshen and his troops leave*

Percival
"Are you General Roy of the Lycia Alliance Army?"

Roy
"Y-Yes!  I am in charge of the Alliance Army in the place of Lord Hector."

Percival
"I see.  Lycia is in a time of hardship.  Our king also sends his words of
 regret for Lord Hector's death."

Roy
"Thank you for your consideration.  If Etruria hadn't helped us...  Ostia would
 be under Bern's control now.  Thank you very much."

Percival
"I am not the one to thank.  I simply followed my king's orders.  You should
 thank Cecilia, who went against the king to help you."

Roy
"She...disobeyed the king's orders?"

Percival
"Yes, now isn't that something?  Well, I must be off.  Two of the three
 Etrurian Generals shouldn't be leaving the country for so long.  Cecilia, can
 you take care of the rest?"

Cecilia
"Yes.  Thank you, Percival.  You can leave the rest to me."

*Percival leaves*

Roy
"Whew...General Percival...now he's someone."

Cecilia
"Nervous, were you?"

Roy
"General Cecilia!  It is good to see you again."

Cecilia
"How are you doing, Roy?  You look a little tired, but you seem okay."

Roy
"Yes, thanks to Etruria, we were able to avoid disaster."

Cecilia
"I'm glad we made it here in time."

Roy
"I'm sorry.  I put you through a lot of trouble."

Cecilia
"No.  It's going to be beneficial for us Etruria for Ostia to go under our
 protection."

Roy
"Beneficial?"

Cecilia
"Yes.  Bern's been acting aggressively these days, as you know.  We also want
 to do something about it, but we haven't been directly invaded, so we have no
 reason to go to war with them.  But if Bern gets any stronger, the balance of
 powers would be shattered."

Roy
"So when Ostia requested protection, you saw it as a good reason to declare war
 on Bern?"

Cecilia
"Right.  We just did what would be the best for us.  You don't need to feel
 that you are in our debt."

Roy
"Yes."

Cecilia
"So you shouldn't thank us."

Roy
"Understood.  I won't.  Well anyway, please come in and meet the rest of our
 army."

*Roy leaves*

Cecilia
"...He's gotten so bold in the short time that I haven't seen him.  Well, he is
 a boy, after all."

                          Chapter 9: The Misty Isles
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

After driving off General Narshen from Ostia, Roy and company braced themselves
for further attacks from Bern.  However, Bern's belligerent movement towards
Lycia suddenly stopped altogether, as if to mock Roy and his caution.

Bern was also maintaining a neutral position regarding the truce offer from
Etruria.  Bern's sudden silence and lack of activity could only be described as
as eerie.

With Hector gone, Eliwood was now the only lasting power in Lycia.  Eliwood
summoned the various dukes to Pherae to discuss their future actions.  It was
decided that Eliwood was to become the next leader of the Lycia Alliance and
that a new Lycia Alliance Army would be established.  This new army's purpose
was not to take the offensive against Bern, but rather to take a defensive
stance to protect Lycia. For his victory against Bern in Ostia, Roy was chosen
to be the leader of the new Lycia Alliance Army.

Slowly but surely, the people of Lycia were starting to brighten up.  Business
was improving, and people's attitudes started to get more optimistic.

Around that time, Etruria called for Lycia's assistance in ridding the Western
Isles of the outlaws and bandits making their base there.  Lycia's citizens
expressed their discontent by saying that they saw no reason in sending troops
all the way to the Western Isles, but because Lycia still needed Etruria's
protection against Bern, they had no choice but to oblige.

Thus, Roy and the Lycia Alliance Army passed through Etruria and made their way
towards the Western Isles.

The Western Isles are the various islands off the western coast of Elibe.
Currently, they are colonies of Etruria.  The Western Isles are rich in
minerals and natural resources, so mining is a major industry.  However, these
minerals are worth a fortune, so various rogue groups have traveled there
hoping to loot the mines and sell the minerals for themselves.  Thus, the
people living on the Western Isles spend their days in constant fear of bandit
attacks.

And Roy had been sent to defeat these bandits.


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Inside Castle*

Bandit
"Boss!  Those guys from Lycia, they're here."

Scott (Boss, Berserker)
"You sure?"

Bandit
"Yup.  We just saw 'em arrive on the small island to the east."

Scott
"Just as that other group said...  All right, they're probably floundering
 around in the fog unable to see anything.  Just sneak up on them from behind
 and kill 'em off."

Bandit
"Sure thing, boss."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Cecilia
"Roy, I'm sorry I couldn't be of help."

Roy
"Please don't worry about it.  It isn't your responsibility, Lady Cecilia."

Cecilia
"Yes.  But even within Etruria, there are a lot of people voicing their
 discontent on how the advisor is treating Lycia like servants."

Roy
"Advisor?  I thought the king had made the decision to send Lycia to clear out
 the bandits."

Cecilia
"No.  Advisor Roartz had been working with Lord Arcard, who's in charge of
 the mining operation in the Western Isles, and they decided it on their own
 without consulting the king."

Roy
"How can they do that?"

Cecilia
"...Do you remember last year's tragedy in Etruria?"

Roy
"Of course.  Etruria's next heir, Prince Mildain, suddenly passed away last
 year."

Cecilia
"Right."

Roy
"I never had the honor to meet him but I understand that he was a very bright
 individual."

Cecilia
"Yes...  If the prince were alive, Etruria wouldn't be like this.  King Mordred
 couldn't bear the fact that his son had died.  The shock was so great that he
 never completely recovered from it.  And today, it seems like he's always in
 a different world, and he doesn't really pay attention to anything that's
 going on around him or in his country.  Roartz took advantage of this.  Now,
 he's basically in charge of what goes on in the palace.  Ever since then, he
 has kept the Three Etrurian Generals, Lord Douglas, Percival, and me, away from
 the king unless there's a great emergency."

Roy
"But what about the time when you came to aid us in Ostia?"

Cecilia
"That event was an exception because Percival worked with me.  But now..."

Roy
"Please don't worry yourself...  We can return to Lycia when we complete this
 mission anyway.  But may I ask you to take care of Lycia while we are away?"

Cecilia
"Of course.  You can leave the Lycia Alliance, and also Princess Guinevere to
 me."

Guinevere
"Roy...I may not go with you?"

Roy
"The battles on these islands are likely to become slugfests.  You can never
 know what will happen.  I think that you should hide in Etruria under General
 Cecilia's protection."

Cecilia
"Your Highness, please trust me.  I understand your intentions of suggesting a
 truce, and I also promised Roy that I would protect you.  You have my word
 that I will defend you at all costs."

Guinevere
"...I understand.  I apologize for being selfish.  Roy, I shall pray for your
 safety."

Roy
"Thank you, my Lady.  I will pray for yours as well."

*Inside Castle*

Fir
"Sir Scott!"

Scott
"Oh, it's Fir.  Sorry I had to call you in."

Fir
"What is all this noise about?"

Scott
"Well you see, some brigands are attacking this island.  The people living here
 are in danger."

Fir
"What!"

Scott
"I sent some guys over to try and stop them, but the invaders are pretty tough.
 The situation doesn't look good."

Fir
"I can't believe..."

Scott
"If only I could go out there...but I can't leave the castle.  So, Fir, I'm
 sorry, but..."

Fir
"Yes.  I shall go and drive them off."

Scott
"Thanks."

Fir
"Leave it to me!  Attacking innocent villagers...that's not forgivable!"

Scott
"I asked another guy too, so you can work with him."

Fir
"Someone else?"

Scott
"Yeah, a nomad named Shin.  He looks frail, but he's got a decent shot with his
 bow."

*Scene switches to Fir and Shin*

Fir
"Are you...Shin?"

Shin (Nomad with green bandana)
"That's me.  I heard the story from Scott.  Let's go."

Fir
"......"

Shin
"......"

Fir
"Um..."

Shin
"What?"

Fir
"Um, did you also join the fight to protect the people living here?"

Shin
"No...I have no interest in such things."

Fir
"Then why?"

Shin
"I'm paid to fight.  That's all."

Fir
"......"

Shin
"......"

Fir
"...I gotta keep the conversation going...  Um...you're from Sacae, right?"

Shin
"Right."

Fir
"What took you all the way out here?"

Shin
"It's nothing new.  You look like you're from Sacae, and you're also here."

Fir
"Well I'm traveling around Elibe to train myself, and...  Oh, you weren't
 asking about me, were you..."

Shin
"......"

Fir
"...(whew.)"

Shin
"...I'm looking for somebody."
 
Fir
"Who?"

Shin
"...My clan lost to Bern when they invaded Sacae."

Fir
"......"

Shin
"Our clan leader let me escape, and he told me to find and protect his
 granddaughter.  So I left the battlefield to fulfill his request."

Fir
"I see...  Well, I hope you find her."

Shin
"...Yes."

*Scene switches to inside castle*

Bandit
"Boss, you sure?  I mean, letting a girl like that fight out there..."

Scott
"Yeah, I know what I'm doing.  Once she's killed, we can get that sword she's
 carrying."

Bandit
"Sword?  That weird one she has?"

Scott
"That's no ordinary sword.  That's the 'Watou,' a famous katana.  If we can get
 it from her and sell it, it'll be worth a fortune.  Hehe..."

Bandit
"I see.  So that's why you were so generous to her at first."

Scott
"I couldn't make a move up until now, but now's a chance.  Listen, I want you
 to follow her.  When you see the chance, grab the sword from her!"

Bandit
"Sure thing, boss!"


== Conversation (Noah, Fir) ==

Noah
"Fir?  It is you!"

Fir
"Sir Noah!?  What are you doing here?"

Noah
"Yes, I joined this army a while back...  Whoa!  What are you thinking!?  Put
 away your sword!"

Fir
"Sir Noah!  I thought you were nobler than this!"

Noah
"What?"

Fir
"Just because you're a mercenary knight...  Lending your services to pirates!?
 You should be ashamed!"

Noah
"...Huh?"

Fir
"Don't play dumb!  You're working with a band of pirates to attack the people
 living on this island!  And you call yourself a knight!?"

Noah
"Um, can I have a sec?  I think there's a really big misunderstanding..."

Fir
"Misunderstanding!?  You still insist..."

Noah
"We're trying to help the villagers.  We're supposed to go defeat the head of
 a pirate group.  I think his name was Scott or something."

Fir
"What?  Scott is the head of a pirate band?"

Noah
"If you think I'm lying, why don't you ask the pirate over there?  He's right
 behind you, hiding in the bushes."

Fir
"Pirate?  What pirate..."

Pirate
"Damn!  I better go tell the boss!"

*Pirate runs off*

Fir
"Hey!  Wait!"

Noah
"...You didn't suspect at all?"

Fir
"No!  Scott was very kind to me..."

Noah
"Really?  Rumors say that he's a very cruel man..."

Fir
"But my mother used to say that you shouldn't judge people by their looks..."

Noah
"Well, that's true, but..."

Fir
"...I was lending my services to pirates...  What can I do now?"

Noah
"Then you want to come along with us?"

Fir
"What?  Would it be okay?"

Noah
"We're always looking for more people to strengthen our army.  I'll talk to Roy
 about it."

Fir
"Thank you!"

*Fir joins*


== Conversation (Sue, Shin) ==

Shin
"Lady Sue!"

Sue
"Shin...  What are you doing here?"

Shin
"I was looking for you."

Sue
"For me?"

Shin
"Yes.  That was the clan leader's orders."

Sue
"...What happened to our clan after I left?"

Shin
"I'm sorry, we didn't stand a chance against Bern..."

Sue
"...We lost."

Shin
"......"

Sue
"What has happened to my grandfather?"

Shin
"He is continuing the struggle against Bern."

Sue
"I see..."

Shin
"I was told by the clan leader to leave and look for you."

Sue
"Then will you fight alongside us?"

Shin
"With you?"

Sue
"We will be helping Grandfather because this army is fighting against Bern.
 Also, this army saved my life earlier."

Shin
"Understood my Lady.  If that is your plan, then I am at your disposal."

Sue
"Thank you."


== Battle with Scott ==

Scott
"So the fog didn't stop you after all...  But you gotta be pretty beat up by
 now.  I'll finish you off!"


== Defeating Scott ==

"Who the hell...are you?  You're no...ordinary...army..."


== After beating the map ==

Roy
"Merlinus, it looked like the enemy was trying to ambush us."

Merlinus
"They must have known that we were coming."

Roy
"Something must be going on behind the scenes..."

Merlinus
"Yes.  Clearing out the bandits might be harder than we had expected.  Ever
 since Bern started their invasion, something is...different with Elibe."

Roy
"I wonder what's going to happen from now...  Dragons reappearing, Bern's
 sudden invasion, the collapse of the Lycia Alliance...all of these strange
 things happening at once.  Still, we have to take things one at a time,
 however tedious it may seem."

*For chapters 10 and 11, the game splits into 2 routes.  Which route you follow
 depends on the two villages in the top right corner of the map.  If you visit
 the village on the left, you'll go to the A route, and you'll go to the B
 route if you visit the village on the right.  You can't visit both.*

*If you visited the village on the left*

Merlinus
"Now...what do we do?"

Roy
"How about moving north along the coast?"

Merlinus
"North...towards the mines?"

Roy
"Right.  I've heard that the people living on the islands are being forced into
 labor over there."

Merlinus
"So we must rescue them first."

Roy
"Yes.  Then we might be able to find out who's behind all this."

Merlinus
"Well, we must start somewhere."  (to Chapter 10 & 11 A route)

*If you visited the village on the right*

Merlinus
"Now...where do we go from here?"

Roy
"Let's head west."

Merlinus
"West?"

Roy
"I've heard there's a rebel group based here.  They're fighting the bandits to
 protect the villagers."

Merlinus
"I see.  So we can visit them and gather some information on what's going on
 on these islands."

Roy
"Right.  If we just go searching blindly, we won't get anywhere."

Merlinus
"I have no objections, Master Roy."

Roy
"All right, then let's head west."  (to Chapter 10 & 11 B route)

                       Chapter 10A: The Resistance Forces
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

The Western Isles are divided up mainly into 3 separate islands; Fibernia,
Caledonia, and Dhia.  All of these islands are rich in mineral resources, and
mining has become a large industry.

The largest mine is located in Mt Ebrakhm, in the north of Fibernia.  Roy
turned his forces towards Ebrakhm hoping to gather some information on the
bandits.

To get to Mt Ebrakhm, one must go past the castle that is located in Ebrakhm
valley.  Therefore, Roy sent a messenger to Nord, the castle owner, to be
granted permission to pass through his lands.  Since Roy and company were there
because of an official request from Etruria, they didn't think that gaining
Nord's support would be as difficult as it was.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Nord (Boss)
"How is that spy from the resistance force doing?"

Soldier
"Do you mean that dancer called Lalam or something.  We threw her in the
 dungeon, sir."

Nord
"Well, did she admit anything?"

Soldier
"No, she just keeps repeating that it is some kind of mistake and that she has
 nothing to do with the resistance force."

Nord
"Hmph, she thinks she can get away with that, does she?  I should go ask her
 myself..."

Soldier
"Duke Nord!"

Nord
"What?"

Soldier
"There is a messenger here sent by the Lycia Alliance Army."

Nord
"Ah, it's the army that was sent to clean up the bandits on these isles..."

Soldier
"It seems that they want permission to pass through to get Mt Ebrakhm."

Nord
"...Lord Arcard did say to get rid of the Lycia Alliance Army while they
 were still here...  Hehehe...  This is a great chance to show off to Lord
 Arcard and get a share of his riches.  Send out some troops and kill them
 off!"

Soldier
"Yes sir.  What about the messenger?"

Nord
"Kill him."

Soldier
"Understood sir."

Nord
"Also don't forget to bring out the ballistas.  Those are some nice weapons
 that can attack from afar, so use them to confuse the Alliance Army!"

Soldier
"Yes sir."

Nord
"And make sure the enemy doesn't get a hold of them!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Merlinus
"Master Roy, soldiers are coming out of the castle."

Roy
"?  Are there some bandits around here?"

Merlinus
"No, they seem to be after us."

Roy
"...What about the messenger?"

Merlinus
"He hasn't returned yet...that means..."

Roy
"What's that supposed to mean?  Why is Nord attacking us?"

Merlinus
"The enemy is advancing...  Master Roy, what should we do?"

Roy
"...I guess we'll have to fight.  Anyway, we need to get to the castle.  Then
 we might learn something."

Merlinus
"Yes.  I suppose so."

Roy
"All right, we're going to storm the castle!  But don't kill more than you have
 to."


== 5th Turn ==

*At village*

Woman
"So Geese...you're really leaving?"

Geese (Pirate with long black-purple hair)
"Yeah.  My friends were killed by the owner of that castle.  I gotta avenge
 them."

Woman
"Those guys that were always with you..."

Geese
"Yeah...  When I wasn't around, they were taken to the mines, told that they
 would be given work.  But they were worked like slaves until they...died."

Woman
"......"

Geese
"Maybe they weren't that smart, but they were good guys...  And Nord just
 killed them off...just like that...!"

Woman
"So you're going to avenge them on your own?"

Geese
"Is there something wrong with that?"

Woman
"No...  But you're not going to go back to being a sea merchant?"

Geese
"Well...  Once I avenge my friends and once the war resides, I'll think about
 it."

Woman
"...We won't forget you.  You guys always risked your own lives to bring and
 sell food and supplies to us.  If you need anything, just come to us."

Geese
"Yeah, if I'm still alive.  ...Thanks."

*Geese appears as NPC*


== 6th Turn ==

*Inside castle*

Nord
"Gonzales!  Where's Gonzales!"

*Gonzales appears*

Gonzales (Bandit with messed up brown hair and broken teeth)
"Here... I here..."

Nord
"There's a village to the north right along the mountain.  You understand?"

Gonzales
"Understand."

Nord
"That might be a hidden base for the resistance forces.  I want you to go there
 and destroy it, village and all."

Gonzales
"Village and all..."

Nord
"Right.  Now go!  A stupid hulk like you only comes in use at times like this.
 Now get moving."

Gonzales
"I...I..."

Nord
"Do you have a problem?"

Gonzales
"N-No..."

*Gonzales leaves*

Nord
"Hmph, he looks like hell but he's cursed to have such a kind heart.  He must
 learn that crushing a single village is nothing!"

*Gonzales appears as an enemy*


== Conversation (Roy, Geese) ==

Geese
"Hm?  What?  You got something to say to me?"

Roy
"No, I was just wondering why you're going up against the castle's soldiers on
 your own."

Geese
"Who are you?"

Roy
"I'm Roy, leader of the Lycia Alliance Army.  We're here due to a request from
 Etruria..."

Geese
"You're with Etruria!?  Then you're not on my side.  Die!"

Roy
"Wait!  We're also fighting the castle's troops."

Geese
"What?  What do you mean?"

Roy
"I don't know either.  We were sent here by Etruria to rid the islands of the
 bandits, but..."

Geese
"...You said that you're fighting the castle's troops.  Then you wanna hire
 me?"

Roy
"What?"

Geese
"I'm a pirate, so I'm pretty familiar with the lands around here.  You look
 like you've never been here before, so you could use a guide, couldn't you?"

Roy
"That would help, but why?"

Geese
"I want to help you with your mission.  Well I'm a pirate, so I'm probably part
 of the 'bandits' that you're talking about, but I generally only go after rich
 people who have more than they need anyway."

Roy
"All right, then I'll ask you to help us.  We don't know this area very well,
 so we were having trouble."

Geese
"Great.  Leave it to me!"

*Roy leaves*

Geese
"...This is it, guys.  I'll avenge you with all my strength!  After that, I
 guess I can tag along with that Roy guy..."

*Geese joins*


== Conversation (Lilina, Gonzales) ==

Lilina
"Excuse me!"

Gonzales
"W-What are you!  I'm an enemy!"

Lilina
"I'm sorry...  But you had such a sad look in your eyes."

Gonzales
"...There is village near mountain.  You know?"

Lilina
"Yes, I know."

Gonzales
"Let the people escape.  I take order, I destroy village.  So..."

Lilina
"What?  Don't!  The people living in the village are innocent..."

Gonzales
"No.  I can't disobey order..."

Lilina
"Can't you leave the people who give you orders like that?"

Gonzales
"Leave?"

Lilina
"I know!  You should fight alongside us!  We're protecting the villagers."

Gonzales
"...No...  I'm a monster...  I can't be with other people...  People throw
 stones...they say 'go away' to me...  I'm a monster...not human..."

Lilina
"No!  Of course you're a human!  You're also a kind hearted human.  I can
 tell.  Come with us.  Don't be afraid."

Gonzales
"Me afraid?  I'm not afraid!  Everyone afraid of me.  I'm not afraid!"

Lilina
"No.  You are afraid.  You're scared that people will throw stones at you, that
 they'll tell you to go away again."

Gonzales
"......"

Lilina
"It's okay.  The people in our army are all nice people.  They won't be mean to
 you.  Come on...be brave.  Take out that first step to live positively..."

*Gonzales joins*


== Battle with Nord ==

Nord
"So you made it here.  I shall take your lives..."


== Defeating Nord ==

Nord
"...Death?  I feel...my life draining...away..."


== After beating the map ==

Merlinus
"Master Roy...  We couldn't find out why Nord attacked us in the end."

Roy
"But now there's no mistake that somebody's after us."

Merlinus
"Hm, I think we should contact Etruria about this."

Roy
"Yes.  I'll talk to General Cecilia about it."

*A soldier appears*

Soldier
"Excuse me, Master Roy.  There’s s girl whom we found captured in the dungeon.
 She wishes to speak with you."

Roy
"To me?  Let her pass."

Soldier
"Yes sir."

*Lalam appears*

Lalam (Dancer with orange hair)
"Are you Master Roy?  The one who's here to clear out the bandits?"

Roy
"Yes."

Lalam (suddenly comes very close to Roy)
"Roy, please!  Please rescue my friends!"

Roy (steps back)
"Whoa!"

Merlinus
"Hey!  Get off of him!"

Roy
"A-Anyway let's calm down and talk.  Your friends are in danger?"

Lalam
"My name is Lalam.  I'm part of the resistance forces on these islands."

Roy
"The one that fights the bandits and protects the people living here?"

Lalam
"Yes.  ...No!"

Roy
"No?"

Lalam
"Of course that's part of our job, but our real enemy is Etruria!  They are
 working with the bandits to rake more money and resources from the people!"

Roy
"What!  Is that true?"

Lalam
"The dukes and warlords living here are taking people into the mines and work
 them and work them until they die!  They never let them rest, even if they're
 sick or injured..."

Roy
"...Horrible..."

Lalam
"So we're fighting the Etrurian government to protest against them!  Our next
 plan was to attack the mine at Mt Ebrakhm and rescue the people there!"

Roy
"What's the matter!  Calm down..."

Lalam
"A villager here leaked the information on our plan!  He was probably tortured,
 but I didn't think he would tell...  I have to go the mines before everyone's
 captured!"

Roy
"All right, the let's go!  We have to rescue the resistance forces and the
 people being forced into labor."

Lalam (jumps onto Roy)
"Really!?  Thank you, Roy!"

Roy
"Whoa!  M-Miss Lalam!"

Merlinus
"Hey!  I said get off of him!"

Lalam
"Here, Roy.  Use this sword."

Roy
"What is this?"

Lalam
"It belongs to our leader, Echidna.  Because you're helping us, I don't think
 she'll get mad even if you use it.  It's called the 'Dragon Killer,' but there
 aren't any Dragons any more.  Maybe they're useful against Dragon Knights?
 Well I don't really know, but it should come into handy some time."

*Obtained Dragon Killer*

*Lalam joins from next chapter*

                   Chapter 11A: The Hero of the Western Isles
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

Roy couldn't believe Lalam's story.  He quickly penned off a letter to Cecilia
letting her know of the horrors happening on the Western Isles.  He also let
her know of the actions that he planned to take from now.

After sending the letter, Roy and company moved towards the mine in Mt Ebrakhm
to try and rescue the people suffering from forced labor.

Etruria had assigned Bishop Oro of the Elimine Church to supervise the mine.
Already a large amount of minerals had been taken, but it seemed that they
ever wanted more and more...

Ebrakhm...known now as the Mine of Death.  The wails of the people forced into
labor there echoed through the mines, like the howling of ghosts...


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Inside Castle*

Miledy
"I see...  So Princess Guinevere is nowhere on the Western Isles?"

Oro (Boss)
"We searched all over these islands, and we also sent spies in to the Lycia
 Alliance Army, but we could not find the princess anywhere.  I'm sorry."

Miledy
"I understand.  I suppose I will search elsewhere.  Bishop Oro, I thank you for
 your cooperation with Bern."

Oro
"I will pray that you will be able to meet with Princess Guinevere soon."

Miledy
"Thank you."

*Miledy leaves.  A Soldier appears*

Soldier
"Bishop Oro, who was that?"

Oro
"A Dragon Knight from Bern.  Her name is Miledy.  She was looking for Princess
 Guinevere, who is her mistress."

Soldier
"Did you tell her where the princess is?"

Oro
"Of course not.  Guinevere is a valuable hostage.  When Advisor Roartz heard
 the news that General Cecilia was hiding with Guinevere in Aquleia, he was as
 excited as the time when he was reported that the assassination of Prince
 Mildain had been successful."

Soldier
"Bishop Oro!  You mustn't say that he was assassinated..."

Oro
"Oh, I must watch my tongue.  Anyway, Guinevere has that much value."

Soldier
"I see..."

Oro
"And now, why did you come before me?  Did you not have something to say?"

Soldier
"Yes my Lord.  It is about that village where the resistance leader is hiding.
 We are now prepared to launch an attack on the village, so I came to report."

Oro
"All right, well done.  Then start your attack immediately, before we have any
 unwanted interruptions..."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"So the resistance hideout is in one of the villages here?"

Lalam
"Yes.  But it's possible that the landlord's troops have attacked it already."

Merlinus
"I must say, that Oro is a despicable man.  A bishop should be preaching the
 words of God to help the people.  But in fact he is torturing his people!
 That is far from forgivable."

Roy
"We should probably wait for General Cecilia's reply, but..."

*A Soldier appears*

Soldier
"Master Roy!  Troops from the castle are attacking the villages!"

Merlinus
"What!  Master Roy, should we attack?"

Roy
"I guess we can't wait for her reply then...  But I want to help the people
 here.  Even if it means that we'll be on bad terms with Etruria..."

Lalam
"Roy..."

Roy
"Let's fight!  So we can be proud of our actions when we return to Lycia!"


== 1st Turn ==

Gale (Dragon Master with blackish bluish hair)
"Miledy, did you find out where Princess Guinevere is?"

Miledy
"No...  It looks like she left the Lycia Alliance Army.  Just when I thought I
 had found her..."

Gale
"So it's no use looking here, then."

Miledy
"Gale...I'm sorry.  King Zephiel wanted to keep the case on Princess Guinevere
 in secrecy, so he only assigned my group to look for her.  I'm sorry I got you
 mixed up into this..."

Gale
"You shouldn't worry yourself over things like that."

Miledy
"But you're one of the captains working directly under General Murdock."

Gale
"General Murdock has agreed to my helping you out.  Anyway, Princess Guinevere
 must still be on the mainland.  Well then, I guess we'll ask General Narshen
 for some more help."

Miledy
"You're going to bow down to General Narshen?"

Gale
"?  Of course.  He's one of the Three Dragon Lords, and he's in charge of the
 armies attacking Lycia and Etruria."

Miledy
"Gale, aren't you...mad?"

Gale
"About what?"

Miledy
"I mean...  Skill wise, you should be one of the Three Dragon Lords.  But
 Narshen accused you of not being a native of Bern, and he snatched the
 position away from you.  And you're going to bow down to him and ask him for
 help?"

Gale
"Well, what he said was true.  I wasn't born in Bern."

Miledy
"But..."

Gale
"I'm happy with the position I have now.  And King Zephiel and General Murdock
 put trust in me, even if I'm not a native of Bern.  What more could I ask?"

Miledy
"Gale..."


== 5th Turn ==

Oro
"Hahaha...  I've got an idea...  Somebody!"

Soldier
"Yes my Lord?"

Oro
"Tell the bandits that the villages are in a confused state.  I want them to
 ransack the villages and collect all the money and treasure."

Soldier
"Yes.  But...  Are you sure?  If this becomes public..."

Oro
"You forget that I speak for God Himself.  If anyone tries to accuse me, he
 would be going against God.  Therefore, there is no one on this island who can
 prosecute me!  Anyway, hurry.  It won't be any use if the crisis in the
 villages settles down."

Soldier
"Yes."

*Scene switches to Klein and Thito*

*Klein, Thito, and their troops appear as enemy units*

Klein (Sniper with blond hair)
"So that's the Lycia Alliance Army..."

Thito (Pegasus Knight with light blue hair)
"They're supposed to be fighting against the bandits..."

Klein
"I know.  But Lord Arcard says that they are fighting with the bandits to
 attack the villagers.  Why are they doing the opposite of what they were told
 to do..."

Thito
"......"

Klein
"Thito, can you take your troops and attack from the north?  I'll start
 attacking from here."

Thito
"Yes sir."

*Thito leaves*

Klein
"Thito!  Wait."

Thito
"Yes?"

Klein
"I hear that you have some siblings."

Thito
"Yes.  I have two sisters, one older, one younger."

Klein
"Are they all Pegasus Knights like you?"

Thito
"Yes.  Why do you ask?"

Klein
"Well, actually, I have a younger sister myself..."

Thito
"She must be very beautiful if she is your sister."

Klein
"Thank you.  Yes, she is pretty.  But I've heard that she got tangled up in
 some mess and I don't know where she is now..."

Thito
"What?  Oh my..."

Klein
"I've sent out people to look for her but they haven't found her yet.  If only
 I wasn't on this mission, I could go look myself..."

Thito
"......"

Klein
"Thito, take care of yourself.  For your family's sake."

Thito
"Yes, thank you."

*Thito flies off*

Klein
"All right, let's go."

Soldier
"Sir, are you sure?"

Klein
"About what?"

Soldier
"Lord Arcard said to leave most of the fighting up to Ilia's mercenary Pegasus
 group so that we of the Etrurian army suffer the least casualties."

Klein
"Don't be ridiculous, they are trustworthy companions.  We will attack at the
 same time...or even before them.  Understood?"

Soldier
"Yes sir."

Klein
"...Still, Lord Arcard's story is strange...  The army from Lycia just got
 here.  ...Would they get tied in with the bandits so quickly...?"


== 6th Turn ==

Bandit
"So you're sure we can raid the villages as much as we want?"

Soldier
"Yes.  But in return..."

Bandit
"Yeah yeah, we're supposed to take half of the loot to the castle, right?
 That's one hell of a bishop you guys got yourselves over there."

Soldier
"Thank you for your cooperation."

*Soldier leaves*

Bandit
"All right, boys!  Loot the villages!  Grab all the treasure!"


== 7th Turn (Roy's Turn) ==

Soldier
"Master Roy, bandits are appearing from the mountains in the east."

Roy
"They're thinking of attacking the villages during the confusion...  We have
 to stop them and rescue the people!"


== 7th Turn (Thito's Turn) ==

Thito
"Are you ready?  We're going to move southward!"

Soldier
"Captain...  Are you sure we'll be all right?"

Thito
"Why?"

Soldier
"Perhaps the Etrurian army means to use us up front as disposables..."

Thito
"Who says that?"

Soldier
"One of our group heard rumors like that in the Etrurian army."

Thito
"If you take rumors like seriously all the time, you won't be able to do
 anything."

Soldier
"But..."

Thito
"Besides, even if that were true, General Klein wouldn't approve of it."

Soldier
"Do you really think so?"

Thito
"General Klein's not like that.  I trust him."

Soldier
"...All right.  Then we'll trust him as well, for we trust you, Captain."

Thito
"Thanks.  Then let's go."


== 8th Turn ==

*Soldiers surround village*

Soldier
"Echidna!  We have surrounded this entire area!  We know you are hiding in
 there!  Drop your weapons come out at once!"

*Echidna appears*

Echidna (Hero with light blue hair and greenish headband)
"......"

Soldier
"Are Echidna, leader of the resistance force?"

Villager
"Miss Echidna, I'm sorry!  They took my family hostage to make me talk..."

Echidna
"I understand.  Leave this to me.  Hurry home to your family now."

Villager
"Sorry...really."  (Villager leaves)

Soldier
"If you surrender peacefully, perhaps Bishop Oro will have some mercy on you."

Echidna
"Sorry, but I'm sorta the stubborn type."

Soldier
"You'll resist?  Then we have no choice.  Kill her!"

*Echidna appears as NPC*


== 9th Turn ==

Oro
"What is taking so long!?  Are the resistance forces that much of a problem?"

Soldier
"The Lycia Alliance Army!  They are supporting the resistance force..."

Oro
"What!  The Lycia Alliance would turn against Etruria!?"

Soldier
"We have just received a message from the capitol at Djuto!  It says... 'The
 Lycia Alliance Army is responsible for the murder of Duke Nord and is
 suspected for turning against Etruria.  There is also the possibility that
 they are tied in with the bandits.  Capture them, or kill them if necessary.'"

Oro
"So they killed Duke Nord...  Anyway, they've come up with a good excuse to get
 rid of the Lycia Alliance Army.  Hahaha...  Tied in with the bandits eh?  How
 ironic..."

Soldier
"Lord Arcard has also provided us with some reinforcements to help us capture
 the Lycia Alliance Army.  They should be here shortly."

Oro
"How generous!  He said 'capture them,' but he probably plans on killing them
 anyway, so let us do the job for him.  Kill them all!"

Soldier
"Yes my Lord!"


== Conversation (Clarine, Klein) ==

Clarine
"Klein!"

Klein
"Clarine?  You were safe!  Thank goodness..."

Clarine
"I'm sorry I left without telling you...  But I wanted to see you so badly."

Klein
"The things you would do...  Well, you're safe, and that's what matters.  And
 what brings you out here?  Did you find someone trustworthy to hire?"

Clarine
"No, I joined the Lycia Alliance Army and have been fighting alongside them."

Klein
"The Lycia Alliance Army!?"

Clarine
"Yes, my healing staves have been very useful!"

Klein
"..I see.  I thought your eyes looked...sharper."

Clarine
"I'm now a lady, I am."

Klein
"...Let me ask you this.  What kind of an individual is General Roy?"

Klein
"Hmm...  He lacks a little finesse for a noble...  I especially think that he
 has to take care of his hair a little more..."

Klein
"...Let me rephrase the question.  Is General Roy working with the bandits and
 attacking the people living on this island?"

Clarine
"No, of chouse not!  We are here to defeat the bandits!"

Klein
"I see..."

Clarine
"The Etrurians here are all malicious and evil people...it is so embarrassing.
 Klein...are you working for them?"

Klein
"No.  At least not any after I heard your story."

Clarine
"What?"

Klein
"I was sent here to protect the villagers.  To fulfill my mission, I will
 hereby join the Lycia Alliance Army."

Clarine
"Klein!"

Klein
"Then let's go, shall we?  Will you introduce me to General Roy?"

Clarine
"Of course!  I love you, Klein."

*Klein joins.  His troops become NPC units*


== Conversation (Klein, Thito) ==

Klein
"Thito!"

Thito
"General Klein!  What is the matter?"

Klein
"I've made up my mind.  We are going to fight alongside General Roy in the
 Lycia Alliance Army."

Thito
"Understood sir.  Then we will as well."

Klein
"Aren't you going to ask why?"

Thito
"We are mercenaries.  We follow our employer's every order.  Besides..."

Klein
"Besides...?"

Thito
"I trust that you would not make the wrong judgments."

Klein
"Thank you, Thito."

*Thito joins.  The Pegasus Knights with her become NPC units*


== Conversation (Lalam, Echidna) ==

Lalam
"Echidna!"

Echidna
"Lalam?  You were all right?  Good...  If something happened to you, I wouldn't
 know what to say to Elphin."

Lalam
"I'm sorry...  If I hadn't been caught, I could have told you about this
 earlier..."

Echidna
"It's okay.  Don't worry."

Lalam
"But..."

Echidna
"Don't cry over spilled milk.  That's not like you.  And besides, I'm all in
 one piece.  That's good news, no?"

Lalam
"...Yeah."

Echidna
"So anyway, who's the army attacking the castle right now?"

Lalam
"Roy and the Lycia Alliance Army!  They came here to defeat the bandits."

Echidna
"Lycia, eh?  They've sure come a long ways to get here...  And does it look
 like they'll help us out?"

Lalam
"Yes!  They helped me, too."

Echidna
"All right, then I guess I'll join too!  That's okay, isn't it?"

Lalam
"Really?  That would be great!  I'm sure Roy would be glad too."

*Echidna joins*


== Battle with Oro ==

Oro
"Going against me...is the same thing as going against God.  Take your
 punishment from my hands!"

*If you use Ellen*

Ellen
"You are...a priest, are you not?"

Oro
"What of it?  Anything can go unpunished if done in the name of God!
 Convenient, is it not?"

Ellen
"...That's unforgivable."

*If you use Saul*

Saul
"We certainly have an evil bishop here now, don't we?"

Oro
"I am simply living life the way I see fit.  Anything can go unpunished if done
 in the name of God.  Convenient, is it not?"

Saul
"You disgrace God...  Then you shall be punished for that!"


== Defeating Oro ==

Oro
"You...you heathen...  I...represent God...gah...!"


== After beating the map ==

Merlinus
"Master Roy, there is a young man here who says he is a member of the
 resistance forces..."

Roy
"I'll see him.  Let him pass."

*Elphin appears*

Elphin (Bard with closed eyes and blond hair)
"Ah, so you are Roy?  Pleased to meet you, my name is Elphin.  I am a member of
 the resistance forces here."

Roy
"I am Roy of the Lycia Alliance Army."

Elphin
"My thanks for saving our village here."

Roy
"No, we simply did what we thought was right."

Elphin
"But now you have rebelled against Etruria.  Certainly you had thought of that
 before you took action?"

Roy
"Even so, we did what we felt was right.  Although what we did is a sign of
 rebellion against Etruria, if the truth about these islands is made public,
 they will understand.  I have sent a letter to a trustworthy member of the
 Etrurian nobility.  If she takes the appropriate measures, I think we can tip
 the tables in our favor."

Elphin
"I would not be so sure of that..."

Roy
"What do you mean?"

Elphin
"Did you ever think it strange that Etruria sent you in to get rid of the
 bandits?"

Roy
"Actually yes...of course."

Elphin
"This is merely my theory...  But I believe that the ones who requested your
 help are Advisor Roartz and Lord Arcard."

Roy
"...How do you know that?"

Elphin
"Why did those two have to get your army off the mainland?  Could there be some
 kind of problem if you stayed in Lycia?"

Roy
"Oh...I never thought of it from that perspective..."

Elphin
"There are rumors...that Roartz and Arcard are actually tied in with Bern."

Roy
"What!?  Then Lycia would be in danger!"

Merlinus
"M-Master Roy!"

Elphin
"Your country could be peril.  Are you sure you want to be wasting your time on
 a little island like this?"

Merlinus
"He's right!  If Bern wanted to get us away from Lycia so they could invade,
 then we must go back at once..."

Roy
"...I'm not going back."

Merlinus
"What!?  Why!?"

Elphin
"......"

Roy
"Right now, it's very difficult to judge what information is true and what is
 false.  In times like this, the worst thing to do is to jump to information
 presented in front of you and taking action based on it.  Sure, I'm worried
 about Lycia, but my father is there, and General Cecilia is also watching over
 Lycia.  But only our army is on these islands."

Merlinus
"That's true, but..."

Roy
"If we just leave without fully clearing out the bandits, then what we did so
 far would all be a lie..."

Elphin
"...I see you are blessed with a wise leader."

Roy
"What?"

Elphin
"Master Roy, I am sorry that I tried you so."

Merlinus
"Tried us?  So what you said was a lie!?"

Elphin
"I have not lied.  But, I did present the rumor in such a way that you would
 easily jump on to it.  But Master Roy kept his head.  I feel that I would like
 to join an individual like you.  Master Roy, please count me among your
 ranks."

Roy
"...I don't like the idea that you were testing us, but if you are willing to
 help, then we will welcome you."

Elphin
"Then..."

Roy
"Yes, please fight alongside us.  Well then, back to business.  What can we do
 to help the people on these isles?"

Elphin
"We must go to Djuto.  The Etrurian capitol is there.  We must crush it to
 fully liberate the people."

Roy
"All right.  We're going to Djuto!  We will fight for the people living here,
 and to defeat our true enemy!"

*If you visited all the villages before they were destroyed*

Man
"Ah, are you General Roy?"

Roy
"Yes."

Man
"You saved our village.  Please take this as a token of our gratitude."

*Obtained Hero's Crest*

*If all of Klein's troops (NPC) survived*

Soldier
"General Klein, we will stay here and restructure the area, as you directed
 us."

Klein
"Good."

Soldier
"We wish we could fight alongside you.  Oh, and here, here is the arrow that
 you had us keep.  I will give it back to you.  Farewell, and good luck,
 General Klein."

Klein
"Thank you."

*Obtained Orion's Arrows*

*If all of Thito's troops (NPC) survived*

Soldier
"Captain!  We will return to Ilia to make our report."

Thito
"Thanks."

Soldier
"Oh, and this...  Your sister gave it to me before we left.  Please be
 careful..."

Thito
"Thank you.  You be careful too."

                              第１０章B 対立のはざまで
                       Chapter 10B: Caught in the Middle
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

In order to get some information from the resistance forces about the bandits
on the Western Isles, Roy and company moved west along the coastline.  Along
the way, they came across a small village caught in constant conflict between
the resistance group and the landowner trying to get rid of them.


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Inside Castle*

Zinc (Boss, General)
"Have you not yet found that bard of the resistance force?"

Soldier
"We are still searching for him, my Lord."

Zinc
"And?"

Soldier
"It appears that he has hidden himself in a village on the outskirts of the
 castle..."

Zinc
"The resistance group is just another band without that Elphin supporting them
 with his brains.  I don't care what happens to the village, just find him!"

Soldier
"Yes my Lord."

*Soldier leaves.  Miledy appears*

Zinc
"Ah, I apologize for keeping you waiting, my Lady."

Miledy
"You seemed...busy."

Zinc
"Oh no, we prioritize allying with Bern above all things.  So if you need
 anything..."

Miledy
"Then, as I asked earlier..."

Zinc
"Ah, the whereabouts of Princess Guinevere."

Miledy
"Do you have any information, Lord Zinc?"

Zinc
"I regret to say that I do not.  You have already visited the capitol at
 Djuto?"

Miledy
"Yes."

Zinc
"Then I suggest that you pay a visit to Bishop Oro.  He resides in the castle
 overlooking the mines in Mt Ebrakhm in the north.  He knows this region better
 than any of us, so I believe that he would have some idea.  However, if even
 he does not know where Princess Guinevere is, then I would think that she is
 not on these islands."

Miledy
"I see.  I will talk with Bishop Oro.  Thank you for your cooperation, Lord
 Zinc."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"The rebel group is supposed to be very active in these areas."

Merlinus
"Yes, according to our sources.  But I also understand that earlier this week,
 the resistance group was hunted down by Etruria's military.  I heard that they
 were devastated."

Roy
"...The Etrurian government lets the bandits go and oppresses the resistance
 group who are trying to help the people.  It doesn't look good..."

Merlinus
"No, it does not."

Roy
"Could we do anything to help?"

Merlinus
"That would be difficult...  We would be going against Etruria's nobility.  I
 don't think that that would be a good idea when we are working under Etruria's
 orders."

Roy
"I'll send a messenger to General Cecilia and see what she has to say.  We
 probably shouldn't do anything too risky right now..."

*A Soldier appears*

Soldier
"Master Roy!  Duke Zinc who controls this area has sent out troops to attack
 the villages to find a member of the resistance group!"

Merlinus
"What!  ...Should we?"

Roy
"We don't have time to wait for General Cecilia's reply...  But I want to help
 the people.  ...Even if it means going against Etruria's orders."

Merlinus
"Master Roy..."

Roy
"Let's fight!  So that we can be proud when we return to Lycia!"


== 1st Turn ==

*Gale and Miledy appear*

Gale
"Well, were you able to find out where Princess Guinevere is?"

Miledy
"No.  But I heard that a bishop named Oro in charge of the mines in the north
 might know."

Gale
"All right, then let's head north."

Miledy
"Gale...I'm sorry.  King Zephiel wanted to keep the case on Princess Guinevere
 in secrecy, so he only assigned my group to look for her.  I'm sorry I got you
 mixed up into this..."

Gale
"You shouldn't worry yourself over things like that."

Miledy
"But you're one of the captains working directly under General Murdock."

Gale
"General Murdock has agreed to my helping you out.  In fact, he wants me to
 find the whereabouts of the Princess and the Fire Emblem."

Miledy
"...Do you think that Princess Guinevere has the Fire Emblem?"

Gale
"Well, that's what the royalty thinks.  And I think they're correct, looking at
 the situation."

Miledy
"......"

Gale
"Come on, don't look like that...  Probably Princess Guinevere has a plan of
 some sort.  Come, let's go."

Miledy
"Yes..."


== 2nd Turn ==

*In village*

Elphin
"...Where...am I...?"

Mary (She's actually Ward's older sister.)
"Are you awake?"

Elphin
"...What...happened to me..."

Mary
"We found you lying at the entrance of the village, all bruised and blood-
 spattered.  So we brought you here and treated your wounds."

Elphin
"And you are...?"

Mary
"I'm Mary.  I live here."

Elphin
"...Live here...  No!  This village will be endangered if I stay here...  Or...
 maybe it's too late if it's already been one day..."

Mary
"?"

Elphin
"I am Elphin...one of the resistance group.  The landowner is sure to send
 troops here to capture me."

Mary
"The resistance group..."

Elphin
"Miss Mary, you should run from here.  This village is in danger."

Mary
"...No, I will stay."

Elphin
"...Why?"

Mary
"I have a younger brother.  Right now he's gone out to look for work with his
 friend from next door.  His friend asked me to take care of his younger sister
 while they were gone.  So I must wait here until they return."

Elphin
"I see...  Then all I can do to protect this village is to leave.  Thank you
 very much for healing my wounds.  Please take care."

Mary
"Yes, you take care too."


== 4th Turn ==

*Inside Castle*

Zinc
"What is the matter?  What is taking so long to find one resistance group
 member!"

Soldier
"The Lycia Alliance Army!  They are fighting to protect the villagers..."

Zinc
"The Alliance Army?  They would go against Etruria!?"

Soldier
"We have gotten a message from Djuto.  It says, 'The Lycia Alliance Army is
 suspected to be working with the bandits.  Capture them, or kill them if
 necessary.'"

Zinc
"Oh?  Tied in with the bandits?  How ironic!  So they want to get rid of them
 to save their own skins..."

Soldier
"What, sir?"

Zinc
"This is not the mainland.  Might makes right here."

Soldier
"I'm not quite sure I understand..."

Zinc
"Don't worry about it then.  Is that all they said from Djuto?"

Soldier
"No.  Lord Arcard has provided us with reinforcements."

Zinc
"What!"

Soldier
"They should be arriving soon."

Zinc
"Damn!  Even if we defeat the Lycia Alliance Army, we will not get all the
 credit if we are aided by reinforcements!  We need to do this quickly...  Ah,
 of course!  Get Scollan!"

Soldier
"Yes sir."

*Scollan appears*

Scollan (Bandit)
"Yeah?  What can I do for you, Master Zinc?"

Zinc
"I want you to burn down all the villages in the area.  Kill all the villagers
 as well."

Scollan
"...What if there's treasure?"

Zinc
"Do with it as you wish.  Just hurry."

Scollan
"Got it, Master Zinc.  Hehehe..."


== 6th Turn ==

*Scollan, Gonzales, and some Bandits appear as enemy units*

Scollan
"Gonzales!  Where's Gonzales!"

*Gonzales appears*

Gonzales
"Here... I here..."

Scollan
"There's a village to the south.  You get that?"

Gonzales
"Get it."

Scollan
"That might be a hidden base for the resistance forces.  Master Zinc says to
 burn it down, village and all."

Gonzales
"Village and all..."

Scollan
"Right.  Now git!  A stupid hulk like you only comes in use at times like this.
 You better not screw up."

Gonzales
"I...I..."

Scollan
"You got a problem?"

Gonzales
"N-No..."

*Gonzales leaves*

Scollan
"Heh, he looks like hell but has that damn kind heart.  He shouldn't be scared
 of bustin' up one tiny village.  You guys, you got that too?"

Bandit
"Sure thing, boss!"


== 8th Turn ==

*Klein, Thito, and their troops appear as enemy units*

Klein
"So that's the Lycia Alliance Army..."

Thito
"They're supposed to be fighting against the bandits..."

Klein
"I know.  But Lord Arcard says that they are fighting with the bandits to
 attack the villagers.  Why are they doing the opposite of what they were told
 to do..."

Thito
"......"

Klein
"Thito, can you take your troops and attack from the north?  I'll start
 attacking from here."

Thito
"Yes sir."

*Thito leaves*

Klein
"Thito!  Wait."

Thito
"Yes?"

Klein
"I hear that you have some siblings."

Thito
"Yes.  I have two sisters, one older, one younger."

Klein
"Are they all Pegasus Knights like you?"

Thito
"Yes.  Why do you ask?"

Klein
"Well, actually, I have a younger sister myself..."

Thito
"She must be very beautiful if she is your sister."

Klein
"Thank you.  Yes, she is pretty.  But I've heard that she got tangled up in
 some mess and I don't know where she is now..."

Thito
"What?  Oh my..."

Klein
"I've sent out people to look for her but they haven't found her yet.  If only
 I wasn't on this mission, I could go look myself..."

Thito
"......"

Klein
"Thito, take care of yourself.  For your family's sake."

Thito
"Yes, thank you."

*Thito flies off*

Klein
"All right, let's go."

Soldier
"Sir, are you sure?"

Klein
"About what?"

Soldier
"Lord Arcard said to leave most of the fighting up to Ilia's mercenary Pegasus
 group so that we of the Etrurian army suffer the least casualties."

Klein
"Don't be ridiculous, they are trustworthy companions.  We will attack at the
 same time...or even before them.  Understood?"

Soldier
"Yes sir."

Klein
"...Still, Lord Arcard's story is strange...  The army from Lycia just got
 here.  ...Would they get tied in with the bandits so quickly...?"


== 9th Turn ==

Soldier
"Lord Zinc, the reinforcements from Djuto should be arriving soon."

Zinc
"Damn!  We're having enough trouble as it is...  I don't need any
 reinforcements to take all the credit!"


== 10th Turn ==

Thito
"Are you ready?  We're going to move southward!"

Soldier
"Captain...  Are you sure we'll be all right?"

Thito
"Why?"

Soldier
"Perhaps the Etrurian army means to use us up front as disposables..."

Thito
"Who says that?"

Soldier
"One of our group heard rumors like that in the Etrurian army."

Thito
"If you take rumors like seriously all the time, you won't be able to do
 anything."

Soldier
"But..."

Thito
"Besides, even if that were true, General Klein wouldn't approve of it."

Soldier
"Do you really think so?"

Thito
"General Klein's not like that.  I trust him."

Soldier
"...All right.  Then we'll trust him as well, for we trust you, Captain."

Thito
"Thanks.  Then let's go."


== Conversation (Lilina, Gonzales) ==

Lilina
"Excuse me!"

Gonzales
"W-What are you!  I'm an enemy!"

Lilina
"I'm sorry...  But you had such a sad look in your eyes."

Gonzales
"...There is village near mountain.  You know?"

Lilina
"Yes, I know."

Gonzales
"Let the people escape.  I take order, I destroy village.  So..."

Lilina
"What?  Don't!  The people living in the village are innocent..."

Gonzales
"No.  I can't disobey order..."

Lilina
"Can't you leave the people who give you orders like that?"

Gonzales
"Leave?"

Lilina
"I know!  You should fight alongside us!  We're protecting the villagers."

Gonzales
"...No...  I'm a monster...  I can't be with other people...  People throw
 stones...they say 'go away' to me...  I'm a monster...not human..."

Lilina
"No!  Of course you're a human!  You're also a kind hearted human.  I can
 tell.  Come with us.  Don't be afraid."

Gonzales
"Me afraid?  I'm not afraid!  Everyone afraid of me.  I'm not afraid!"

Lilina
"No.  You are afraid.  You're scared that people will throw stones at you, that
 they'll tell you to go away again."

Gonzales
"......"

Lilina
"It's okay.  The people in our army are all nice people.  They won't be mean to
 you.  Come on...be brave.  Take out that first step to live positively..."

*Gonzales joins*


== Conversation (Clarine, Klein) ==

Clarine
"Klein!"

Klein
"Clarine?  You were safe!  Thank goodness..."

Clarine
"I'm sorry I left without telling you...  But I wanted to see you so badly."

Klein
"The things you would do...  Well, you're safe, and that's what matters.  And
 what brings you out here?  Did you find someone trustworthy to hire?"

Clarine
"No, I joined the Lycia Alliance Army and have been fighting alongside them."

Klein
"The Lycia Alliance Army!?"

Clarine
"Yes, my healing staves have been very useful!"

Klein
"..I see.  I thought your eyes looked...sharper."

Clarine
"I'm now a lady, I am."

Klein
"...Let me ask you this.  What kind of an individual is General Roy?"

Clarine
"Hmm...  He lacks a little finesse for a noble...  I especially think that he
 has to take care of his hair a little more..."

Klein
"...Let me rephrase the question.  Is General Roy working with the bandits and
 attacking the people living on this island?"

Clarine
"No, of course not!  We are here to defeat the bandits!"

== Village in Top Left == 

*If you visit using Ward*

Myu (the little girl)
"It's Ward!"

Ward
"Hey, how have you been doing?  ...Come on, can't you at least say 'big
 brother Ward' instead of just Ward?"

Myu
"But...Ward is Ward."

Ward
"Ah, never mind.  You look like you've been doing okay."

Myu
"Yes!"

Ward
"...Anyway, it's dangerous here.  Go hide in the hills or something."

Myu
"...Alone?"

Ward
"Sis is still here, right?  She'll take you."

Myu
"Yeah, big sister Mary's here too."

Ward
"You call Sis 'big sister' and me just 'Ward,' huh?"

Myu
"Oh.  Here."

Ward
"What's this?  A feather?"

Myu
"It makes you like a bird!"

Ward
"Like a bird?  What's that supposed to mean?"

Myu
"Like a bird is like a bird."

Ward
"???  Uh, anyway, you're giving this to me?"

Myu
"No.  It's for my big brother Lott."

Ward
"Even he's not just 'Lott'..."

Myu
"Hahaha...  I'll go see Mary.  Here's the feather.  Give it to Lott, okay, big
 brother Ward?"

"No!  That's not the case!  ...But I'm not ready to return yet.  Just wait,
 I'll come back with lots of money so we can live an easier life..."

Mary
"I don't care about that...  I just want you to be safe."

 yours...but just remember that there are people who are worried for you.
 Okay?"

Ward

Mary
"Here, take this."

Ward
"What's this?"

Mary
"It's a special weapon.  I treated the wounds of a traveler a while back, and

Merlinus
"Master Roy, there is a young man here to see you.  He says he is a member of
 the resistance force."

Roy
"Let him pass."

*Elphin appears*

Elphin
"Ah, so you are Roy?  Pleased to meet you, my name is Elphin.  I am a member of
 the resistance forces here."

Roy
"I am Roy of the Lycia Alliance Army."

Elphin
"My thanks for saving our village here."

Roy
"No, we simply did what we thought was right."

Elphin
"But now you have rebelled against Etruria.  Certainly you had thought of that
 before you took action?"

Roy
"Even so, we did what we felt was right.  Although what we did is a sign of
 rebellion against Etruria, if the truth about these islands is made public,
 they will understand.  I have sent a letter to a trustworthy member of the
 Etrurian nobility.  If she takes the appropriate measures, I think we can tip
 the tables in our favor."

Elphin
"I would not be so sure of that..."

Roy
"What do you mean?"

Elphin
"Did you ever think it strange that Etruria sent you in to get rid of the
 bandits?"

Roy
"Actually yes...of course."

Elphin
"This is merely my theory...  But I believe that the ones who requested your
 help are Advisor Roartz and Lord Arcard."

Roy
"...How do you know that?"

Elphin
"Why did those two have to get your army off the mainland?  Could there be some
 kind of problem if you stayed in Lycia?"

Roy
"Oh...I never thought of it from that perspective..."

Elphin
"There are rumors...that Roartz and Arcard are actually tied in with Bern."

Roy
"What!?  Then Lycia would be in danger!"

Merlinus
"M-Master Roy!"

Elphin
"Your country could be peril.  Are you sure you want to be wasting your time on
 a little island like this?"

Merlinus
"He's right!  If Bern wanted to get us away from Lycia so they could invade,
 then we must go back at once..."

Roy
"...I'm not going back."

Merlinus
"What!?  Why!?"

Elphin
"......"

Roy
"Right now, it's very difficult to judge what information is true and what is
 false.  In times like this, the worst thing to do is to jump to information
 presented in front of you and taking action based on it.  Sure, I'm worried
 about Lycia, but my father is there, and General Cecilia is also watching over
 Lycia.  But only our army is on these islands."

Merlinus
"That's true, but..."

Roy
"If we just leave without fully clearing out the bandits, then what we did so
 far would all be a lie..."

Elphin
"...I see you are blessed with a wise leader."

Roy
"What?"

Elphin
"Master Roy, I am sorry that I tried you so."

Merlinus
"Tried us?  So what you said was a lie!?"

Elphin
"I have not lied.  But, I did present the rumor in such a way that you would
 easily jump on to it.  But Master Roy kept his head.  I feel that I would like
 to join an individual like you.  Master Roy, please count me among your
 ranks."

Roy
"...I don't like the idea that you were testing us, but if you are willing to
 help, then we will welcome you."

Elphin
"Then..."

Roy
"Yes, please fight alongside us.  Well then, back to business.  What can we do
 to help the people on these isles?"

Elphin
"Head south...toward Caledonia."

Roy
"Why?"

Elphin
"Castle Idina is located there, where the people being sent to Mt Ebrakhm are
 kept."

Roy
"All right, then let's save those people first!"

Elphin
"Master Roy, please take this sword."

Roy
"What is this?"

Elphin
"It is a sword called the Dragon Killer.  I hear it was created during the
 Scouring to use against the Dragons."

Roy
"Dragon Killer?  This isn't a Divine Weapon?"

Elphin
"No.  The Divine Weapons can only be used by those who have skill equal to the
 Eight Heroes.  But this weapon should be usable by people of this army as
 well."

                         Chapter 11B: Escape to Freedom
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

The Lycia Alliance Army took in Elphin as a tactician.  Following his advice,
they moved south toward the isle of Caledonia.

Caledonia is one of the main islands that make up the Western Isles.  The other
two are Fibernia and Dhia.

Castle Idina is located on Caledonia.  Here, men from all over the island are
rounded up and locked up in prison cells to be taken to Mt Ebrakhm, to the
Mines of Death.

When Roy arrived at Castle Idina, the situation already looked dire...


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Men come running out of the castle*

Middle-aged Man
"Hurry!  Over here!"

Young Man
"A-Are you sure?  If we get caught..."

Middle-aged Man
"You idiot!  If we stay there, we have no choice but to work and work until
 we die!  You're going to put up with that!?  Don't you have family or
 something back home?"

Young Man
"Yeah..."

Middle-aged Man
"If we escape toward the northeast, there are some people who can help us.
 We've got to get there!"

*Scene switches to Castle*

Arcard (Paladin with long blackish hair.  NOT the boss of this map)
"What!  Some more people escaped?  What were the guards doing!"

General
"Somebody put sleeping drugs in their food..."

Arcard
"...That means there someone among our ranks who is taking contact with the
 enemy."

*General leaves.  Morgan appears*

Arcard
"Morgan!  I want you to pursue and capture those who have escaped."

Morgan (Boss)
"Yes, my Lord."

Arcard
"I will return to the capitol at Djuto.  Don't let them escape.  Also keep
 sending workhands to the mines.  I can't afford to lose that mine now!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"Elphin, that castle to the southwest..."

Elphin
"Yes, that is Castle Idina.  The people captured on this island are first sent
 there before they are ported to Mt Ebrakhm.  Today just happens to be the day
 that the captives are sent to the mines on a weekly basis.  Rescuing them will
 be difficult if we have to go all the way to the mines."

Roy
"Then we must rescue them now!"

Elphin
"Yes.  I have already sent some spies to sneak into the castle to help the
 people escape."

Roy
"How will they release the captives?"

Elphin
"I have told them to sent the captives to the northeast.  In other words,
 here."

Roy
"Then we must first rescue those people before attacking the castle."


== 6th Turn ==

*At village*

Woman
"So Geese...you're really leaving?"

Geese (Pirate with long black-purple hair)
"Yeah.  My friends were killed by the owner of that castle.  I gotta avenge
 them."

Woman
"Those guys that were always with you..."

Geese
"Yeah...  When I wasn't around, they were taken to the mines, told that they
 would be given work.  But they were worked like slaves until they...died."

Woman
"......"

Geese
"Maybe they weren't that smart, but they were good guys...  And Nord just
 killed them off...just like that...!"

Woman
"So you're going to avenge them on your own?"

Geese
"Is there something wrong with that?"

Woman
"No...  But you're not going to go back to being a sea merchant?"

Geese
"Well...  Once I avenge my friends and once the war resides, I'll think about
 it."

Woman
"...We won't forget you.  You guys always risked your own lives to bring and
 sell food and supplies to us.  If you need anything, just come to us."

Geese
"Yeah, if I'm still alive.  ...Thanks."

*Geese appears as NPC*


== 9th Turn ==

*Bartre and some Fighters appear from the west side of the map as NPC units*

Bartre (Warrior with brown hair and mustache and not much of a nose)
"So the people living on this island are captured in that castle?"

Fighter
"Yes."

Bartre
"Well then, let's go rescue them, shall we?"

Fighter
"...I'm sorry.  I know you were looking for your daughter, and we made you help
 us out like this..."

Bartre
"Well, you guys helped me, so I should help you, too.  Besides, a real man
 wouldn't look at people suffering due to their marquess' greed and simply
 ignore them."

== 10th Turn ==

Soldier
"Duke Morgan, the reinforcements are ready."

Morgan
"Good.  Send them out immediately.  Send them from the back so that they can
 defend the castle even if we should be surrounded."


== Conversation (Roy, Geese) ==

Geese
"Hm?  What?  You got something to say to me?"

Roy
"No, I was just wondering why you're going up against the castle's soldiers on
 your own."

Geese
"Who are you?"

Roy
"I'm Roy, leader of the Lycia Alliance Army.  We're here due to a request from
 Etruria..."

Geese
"You're with Etruria!?  Then you're not on my side.  Die!"

Roy
"Wait wait!  We're also fighting the castle's troops."

Geese
"What?  What do you mean?"

Roy
"I don't know either.  We were sent here by Etruria to rid the islands of the
 bandits, but..."

Geese
"...You said that you're fighting the castle's troops.  Then you wanna hire
 me?"

Roy
"What?"

Geese
"I'm a pirate, so I'm pretty familiar with the lands around here.  You look
 like you've never been here before, so you could use a guide, couldn't you?"

Roy
"That would help, but why?"

Geese
"I want to help you with your mission.  Well I'm a pirate, so I'm probably part
 of the 'bandits' that you're talking about, but I generally only go after rich
 people who have more than they need anyway."

Roy
"All right, then I'll ask you to help us.  We don't know this area very well,
 so we were having trouble."

Geese
"Great.  Leave it to me!"

*Roy leaves*

Geese
"...This is it, guys.  I'll avenge you with all my strength!  After that, I
 guess I can tag along with that Roy guy..."

*Geese joins*


== Conversation (Fir, Bartre) ==

Fir
"Father?  What are you doing here?"

Bartre
"Ah, Fir!  I was looking for you."

Fir
"Father, I have made up my mind.  I want to become a great swordfighter like
 Mother..."

Bartre
"I understand.  I don't mean to drag you home.  In fact, I want to assist you
 in your journey."

Fir
"Assist me?"

Bartre
"Well, I know that there are a lot of hardships during a journey of training.
 So I can help you out in tough situations..."

Fir
"But Father, if you kept helping me, there would be no point to my training."

Bartre
"Nonsense.  Would you not be able to train your sword skills with your father
 around?  Or do you not understand your father's love for worrying about you
 like this?"

Fir
"No!  That's not it..."

Bartre
"Well then, we understand each other.  But first we must capture that castle."

*Bartre leaves*

Fir
"Sigh...  I have to tell Roy that we're getting another member..."

*Bartre joins*


== Battle with Morgan ==

Morgan
"What are you doing!  Hurry and kill off the ones who escaped!  ...?  Wh-Who
 are you people!?"


== Defeating Morgan ==

Morgan
"The resistance forces in this area have been eliminated...  Who...are you
 people...?"


== After beating the map ==

Roy
"Even though we've captured Castle Idina and released the people here, it
 doesn't mean we've rescued all the people living on these isles."

Elphin
"Right.  To fully liberate the Western Isles, we must get rid of the Etrurian
 capitol."

Roy
"So we must head for Djuto.  ...Elphin, may I ask you something?"

Elphin
"What is it, Master Roy?"

Roy
"Correct me if I'm wrong.  But are you not someone of high Etrurian nobility?"

Elphin
"!!  ...What makes you think that?"

Roy
"Well...I can't really explain it, but...  For example, the way you talk sounds
 very educated.  In Ostia, I learned how to 'study' people and to make
 estimates about them.  Anyway, am I right?"

Elphin
"What would you do if I were what you think I am?"

Roy
"What?  No, I wouldn't do anything in particular."

Elphin
"?"

Roy
"You must have some reason to hide your identity.  You can tell me when you
 feel comfortable about it.  Okay?"

Elphin
"......"

Roy
"Then let's go to Djuto!  To save these isles and defeat our true enemy!"

*If all the people escaping survived*

Middle-aged Man
"Hey you with the mustache!"

Merlinus
"What!  Who are you?"

Middle-aged Man
"Here, give this to General Roy.  Thanks to him, we can see our families
 again."

Young Man
"We people of the Western Isles never forget when people help us!"

Middle-aged Man
"Make sure you say thanks for us."

Young Man
"And that we all express our gratitude from the bottom of our hearts!"

*Obtained Energy Ring*

                           Chapter 12: The True Enemy
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

To rescue the people of the Western Isles, Roy headed for Djuto, the Isles'
largest city.  The Etrurian capitol was located there.

According to Elphin, Lord Arcard, who was in charge of supervising the
Western Isles, was an Etrurian of high nobility but not of high importance to
the Etrurian government.

Roy was still worried about Etruria's response to his attacking the capitol,
but to rescue the people, he had to get rid of Arcard as soon as possible.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Arcard
"G-G-...  General Flaer!"

Flaer (Dragon Master with red-brown hair and mustache)
"Ah, Lord Arcard.  Why do you fret so?"

Arcard
"It's the Lycia Alliance Army!  They are approaching here to take my head!"

Flaer
"Oh, them.  There are somewhat of a nuisance to us of Bern...  We figured it
 would get difficult if they became friendly with Etruria, so we had you send
 them here...  Well, they fight better than I would have expected."

Arcard
"What are you saying!  Do you have any idea how much I have lost because of
 them?  All the riches that I have earned from these islands...  N-No!  Before
 that, my life!  My life is in danger!  If they reach here, I am done for!
 What must I do..."

Flaer
"If you are that worried, you should leave this capitol to us and escape back
 to Etruria."

Arcard
"Are you sure?"

Flaer
"Warfare is what Bern is best at.  And besides, we have our secret weapon at
 hand.  We shall kill off the Lycia Alliance Army once and for all."

Arcard
"But..."

Flaer
"Lord Arcard.  If Bern and Etruria join forces, we shall have nothing on this
 continent to fear.  Nothing at all.  Isn't that so?"

Arcard
"Yes...  Yes!  You're right.  Then I shall ask for your assistance."

*Arcard leaves*

Flaer
"Hmph, the weakness of those Etrurian nobles.  But if we can get rid of the
 Alliance Army here, these isles shall be ours forever..."

*Scene switches to Roy*

*If you came through Ch 10A and 11A*

Roy
"This is the capitol...  Once we take it down, we can go home."

Elphin
"Master Roy, I have heard some strange rumors from the people living around
 here.  They say that a 'human not human' resides in this
 castle."

Roy
"What does that mean?"

Elphin
"They say that he changes form...into a Dragon."

Roy
"A human?  Turning into a Dragon!?"

Elphin
"I can say nothing at this point.  We must proceed with caution."

*If you came through Ch 10B and 11B*

Roy
"This is the capitol...  Once we take it down, we can go home."

Elphin
"I have sent someone in already to unlock the gate...  Oh, there she is."

*Lalam appears*

Roy
"The one over there dressed like a dancer?"

Elphin
"Yes."

Lalam
"Your Majesty!  Over here!"

Roy
"Your Majesty?"

Elphin
"...I know not what she speaks of."

Lalam
"Your Majesty!  You're late."

Elphin
"Lalam, who is 'Your Majesty'?"

Lalam
"?  ...Oh!  Ah...er...  You know, you look so much like a prince, so I gave you
 a nickname."

Elphin
"......"

Roy
"......"

Elphin
"My apologies, Master Roy.  This is Lalam, a member of the resistance force."

Lalam
"You're Roy?  Everyone on these islands has heard of you!  They call you the
 'Savior from the East'."

*Lalam jumps onto Roy*

Lalam
"Nice to meet you, I'm Lalam."

Roy (jumps back)
"Whoa!  Please leave a little distance!"

Lalam
"Roy, your face is all red.  How cute!"

Elphin
"...Lalam..."

Lalam (stepping back)
"Oh!  R-Right...  I've been hearing strange rumors.  The people here say that
 a 'human not human' resides in this castle."

Roy
"A human not human...?"

Lalam
"Yes.  They say he changes form into a creature nobody has ever seen before.
 Some said it looked like one of the legendary Dragons."

Roy
"A human?  Turning into a Dragon!?"

Lalam
"I don't know...  But maybe."

Elphin
"We must proceed with caution."


== 1st Turn ==

Flaer
"Ah, there you are, Aine."

Aine (Mamkute with red hood and evil-looking eyes)
"I heard you called..."

Flaer
"I will go report about the Lycia Alliance Army to General Narshen.  I want you
 to defend this castle while I am away."

Aine
"...Understood."

Flaer
"?  Who's there!  ......  ...Just the wind.  Well then, I shall be going.
 I shall leave the rest to you."

Aine
"...Understood."

Flaer
"Haha...  The Lycia Alliance won't stand a chance against this Dragon.  They
 won't even be able to scratch it with normal weapons.  These Mamkutes...  They
 certainly are terrible beasts."

*Ray is hiding nearby*

Ray (Shaman with green hair.  Looks like Lou)
"...So that's what the 'human not human' is.  So it was true
 that Bern had brought back the Dragons into this world.  ...So what can I do
 now...  I guess I'll act like one of the soldiers and observe the Dragon's
 power."

*Ray stations himself as an enemy unit*


== 7th Turn ==

*Cath appears*

Cath
"All the way down here in the isles in the west,
 People working to death for the nobles in their nest!"
(Note: In the Japanese text she's supposed to be singing, so I translated it
 as best I could...)

Cath
"Well if that's true, this castle must be loaded with treasure.  The loot
 wasn't earned rightfully by the nobles anyway, so I guess I'll grab it all for
 myself."

*Cath starts to move around the map to loot the treasure chests*


== 10th Turn ==

Soldier
"The reinforcements from the south will arrive shortly!"

Aine
"......"

Soldier
"...T-That's all, sir."

*Aine leaves*

Soldier
"That guy scares me..."


== 20th Turn ==

Elite Soldier
"Did you take care of the cave on the outskirts?"

Soldier
"Yes sir, we hired the bandits to block the entrance.  No one will be able to
 get the Divine Weapon now."

Elite Soldier
"Great!  Now all we have to do is get rid of the Lycia Alliance Army!"

(Note: Once you see this scene, you won't be able to go to Ch 12 Gaiden.)


== Conversation (Lou, Ray) ==

Lou
"Ray?  Ray!  It's good to see you!"

Ray
"Lou...!  What are you doing here?"

Lou
"I'm glad that you look okay.  We were worried.  You just left one day, saying
 that you were 'going on a journey to train your magic skills'."

Ray
"I wouldn't be able to effectively learn magic sitting in that orphanage.  It
 was a miracle that I could learn what I did."

Lou
"Ray...  The orphanage is gone."

Ray
"?  What happened?"

Lou
"Bern's forces came and...burned it down."

Ray
"...What happened to everybody?"

Lou
"Father was killed protecting us...  The little children are under the
 protection of the Elimine Church."

Ray
"...I see.  Good...they'll be happier living with the Church instead of an old
 orphanage."

Lou
"You don't have to say it that way."

Ray
"......"

Lou
"Ray!  Come with us.  Let's defeat Bern and pick up the little ones!"

Ray
"I don't find interest in such things."

Lou
"But!"

Ray
"Still...  The Lycia Alliance Army might not be a bad place to be.  They seem
 to have some kind of connection with the Dragons...  So if you insist, I
 suppose I can go with you."

Lou
"Ray..."

Ray
"I hope you understand!  I'm not joining to avenge Father or the orphanage or
 anything!"

Lou
"Yes!  I know, Ray."

Ray
"So don't look at me like that!"

*Ray joins*


== Conversation (Roy, Cath) ==

Roy
"Oh!  You're..."

Cath
"Hm?  ...You again?  These days you always seem to appear to screw up my plans.
 Do you have something against me?"

Roy
"No!  I just...wanted to apologize."

Cath
"...Excuse me?"

Roy
"The last time we met, I said some pretty harsh things.  Like calling you a
 villain when I didn't know the things you had gone through..."

Cath
"Oh, that?  It's okay.  It's not really bothering me."

Roy
"But I still think that what you're doing isn't right."

Cath
"You've really got nerve to say that, don't you?"

Roy
"So would you give me chance?"

Cath
"A chance?"

Roy
"Once this war is over, I'll promise to rebuild the villages that were damaged
 because of it.  I'll be sure to make good use of the taxes that they pay.  So
 until then, I'd like you to stop stealing."

Cath
"How long would that be?"

Roy
"When this war is over.  I can't say exactly when..."

Cath
"And you expect me to wait patiently until then?"

Roy
"Yes.  Would that be okay?"

Cath
"Why?  Why do you tell me this?  Why do you try so hard to help someone like
 me?  You should just leave a burglar like me alone."

Roy
"Without you, we wouldn't have been able to escape from Wagner's castle.
 Though you probably weren't trying to help us, you did, and you saved our
 lives.  We can't just leave our benefactor alone."

Cath
"Well well, at the rate you're going, I guess you'll be getting in my way no
 matter where I go."

Roy
"As long as you appear in our path."

Cath
"All right, you win.  I'll stop coming to battlefields to steal."

Roy

Roy
"That was close...  The power of a Dragon...amazing."

Elphin
"A human not human...  This is what it meant."

Roy
"How many more of these does Bern have...?  How are we supposed to put up a
 fight against monsters like this!?"

Elphin
"Master Roy!  Please calm yourself."

Roy
"Oh..."

Elphin
"...I understand your worries.  But if you start to panic, everyone in this
 army will start to get anxious.  Please understand that."

Roy
"...I'm sorry."

Elphin
"No, it is a perfectly understandable reaction after fighting something like
 that.  But now...we know something that we did not before."

Roy
"What is that...?"

Elphin
"Do you not remember?  I told you of the rumor that Arcard was tied in with
 Bern."

Roy
"Oh!  If there are Bern's Dragons in the Etrurian capitol..."

Elphin
"So Arcard was indeed taking contact with Bern."

Roy
"...That means Lycia might be in danger...  We must return to the mainland.  We
 have to contact General Cecilia and think of a plan..."

*If you beat the map in 20 turns or less*

Elphin
"Master Roy, before returning to the mainland, we still have things to do on
 these isles."

Roy
"Are there still more enemies?"

Elphin
"No.  One of the Divine Weapons is hidden in a cave near here.  If we can
 obtain it, fighting the Dragons will become a little easier."

Roy
"Divine Weapon...  Exactly!  If we can get all eight of them, we have a chance
 of defeating Bern!"

Elphin
"Yes...  We must obtain as many as we can."

Roy
"Then let's go to the cave you speak of."

*A Soldier appears*

Soldier
"R-Report!  I have a message from Etruria...  A rebellion has broken out at the
 Etrurian castle city of Aquleia!"

Merlinus
"What!"

Soldier
"The rebel leaders are Advisor Roartz and Lord Arcard.  They have captured King
 Mordred, and they are announcing their plan to divide ownership of the world
 between Bern and Etruria!"

Merlinus
"No...  The two strongest nations in Elibe joining forces..."

Roy
"Is General Cecilia all right!?  And how about Princess Guinevere..."

Soldier
"We do not have accurate information...  But it seems like the Three Etrurian
 Generals have split up.  Sorcery General Cecilia has escaped from Aquleia and
 is headed for the island of Misul in the west."

Roy
"What about the other Generals?"

Soldier
"They have been forced to join the rebels because King Mordred was taken
 hostage."

Merlinus
"Master Roy..."

Roy
"We need to contact General Cecilia...  Princess Guinevere...General Cecilia...
 please be safe..."

Following Elphin's lead, Roy headed for the cave near Djuto to obtain the
Divine Weapon.  But Roy and company weren't the only ones who knew of the cave.
Another battle was awaiting for them...


== Opening Cutscene ==

Grero (Boss)
"So this is the end of the caaave?  Treeaasure...  Where are yooouuu...  Answer
 meee..."

Bandit
"Boss...you sure about this?  Bern told us to block the entrance to the cave.
 If they catch us now, we'll be sent back to prison!"

Grero
"Idiooot!  We're gonna bury this cave anywaaay...  Sooo they ain't gonna know
 that we took the treeaasure...  If we bury the cave without taking the
 treasure, no one's gonna be able to fiiind it...  Have ya ever thought about
 how the treasure would feel theeen!"

Bandit
"Well...  Guess you're right."

*Another Bandit appears*

Other Bandit
"Boss!  There's an army stationed outside the cave!"

Grero
"Whaaaat?  So they think they're gonna take our treasure do theeey?  Have the
 boys near the entrace take them ooouut...  And grab all the treasure chests...
 They're mine nooowwww!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"A Divine Weapon lies in this cave...  It's pretty dark in here."

Elphin
"According to a scholar in Djuto, if there is a Divine Weapon in here, it would
 most surely the Almace, the 'Axe of Lighting'."

Roy
"Almace...  An axe, not a sword this time."

Elphin
"The Almace was used by 'Durban the Berserker', the largest and most muscular
 of the Eight Heroes.  A blow from his axe must have been a sight to see
 indeed."

Roy
"Elphin, you certainly know a lot about the Eight Heroes and the Divine
 Weapons."

Elphin
"I'm a bard.  I know a lot of myths and legends."

Roy
"I see.  I want to hear them, when we have the time."

Elphin
"Of course.  ...Master Roy, it seems that we have company in this cave."

Roy
"We do?"

Elphin
"There are also some strange fumes coming out of the cave walls.  We must
 proceed with caution."

Grero

Roy
"Where is the Divine Weapon?"

Elphin
"Hm...  I can hear wind coming from behind the throne."

Roy
"What?  I can't hear it...  But there's a niche between the floor and wall...
 Oh!  It opened!  ...So this is the Divine Weapon?  That axe is huge..."

Elphin
"The Almace...  So this is what Durban the Berserker used.  It certainly seems
 fit for a mighty warrior."

*A Soldier appears*

Soldier

===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

The coup d'etat at Aquleia quickly spread out to the rest of Etruria.

Cecilia escaped with Guinevere from Aquleia.  She also formed an
Anti-Coup d'etat group and traveled around Etruria fighting the rebel forces.

However, the rebel forces had Bern on their side.  Also, "Great General"
Douglas and "Knight General" Percival had been forced into the rebels' side
because King Mordred had been taken hostage.  With these powerful forces on
their side, the rebels gradually began to push the Anti-Coup d'etat group out
of Etruria.  The Anti-Coup d'etat forces had been driven into an old castle on
the island of Misul to the west of Etruria.

After locating Cecilia, Roy headed for Misul.  Meanwhile, the Anti-Coup d'etat
group was under attack by a joint force of the coup d'etat forces and Bern's
troops.  It would only be a matter of time before the Anti-Coup d'etat troops
were defeated...


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Flaer flies toward Narshen*

Narshen
"Hasn't the castle gone down yet!?"

Flaer
"My Lord, the Anti-Rebels led by General Cecilia are fighting harder than we
 had expected..."

Narshen
"Cecilia...!  Her again!  Always interfering with my plans...!"

*Zephiel and Idoun appear*

Zephiel
"I see you are having trouble, Narshen."

Idoun
"......"

Narshen
"Y-Your Majesty!?  When...did you arrive?"

Zephiel
"Just now.  The general from Etruria fights well, I see."

Narshen
"Yes...  But we shall have everything under control very soon."

Zephiel
"No, let me.  I will fight her myself."

Idoun
"Your Highness, there is no reason for you to fight..."

Zephiel
"No matter.  It shall be some good exercise.  Narshen, show me to her."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"What's the story?"

Merlinus
"The castle hasn't fallen yet, Master Roy."

Roy
"Good!  We have to hurry then."


== 1st Turn ==

Zephiel
"So you are Cecilia, the Sorcery General."

Cecilia
"!!  ...King Zephiel..."

Zephiel
"For your prowess in battle, you have the honor to fight me one on one."

Cecilia
"...  !!"

*Zephiel and Cecilia fight an actual battle.  Zephiel nails a critical and
 defeats Cecilia in a single hit.*

Cecilia
"Too...powerful..."

Zephiel
"Lost consciousness...  I would have expected more."

Narshen
"Your Majesty!  Invincible, as usual."

Zephiel
"I suppose this is all one can expect from an Etrurian general."

Narshen
"Your Majesty.  If you would allow it, can you leave her to me?"

Zephiel
"Hm?"

Narshen
"I have some certain...bad memories with her.  I want to punish her for them."

Zephiel
"Well, all right.  Do with her as you wish."

Narshen
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty.  You there, make one of the prison cells
 ready."

Soldier
"Yes, General Narshen."

*Zephiel moves to the castle*


== 2nd Turn ==

Percival
"Bern is attacking the castle?"

Soldier
"Yes."

Percival
"...This isn't what they said.  They had decided to leave the Etrurian matters
 to us Etrurians."

Soldier
"What shall we do?"

Percival
"Was it General Narshen who made the order to attack the castle?"

Soldier
"No, sir.  It was King Zephiel himself."

Percival
"!  The king did it himself...  So it looks like Bern had no intention of
 leaving anything to us in the first place.  We aren't going to move right now.
 Tell the rest of them that."

Soldier
"Yes."

Percival
"......"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"The castle has fallen?"

Merlinus
"Yes...  We were too late."

Roy
"Is General Cecilia all right?"

Merlinus
"There hasn't been a report that she was killed, but probably..."

Roy
"Well, if there's still a possibility that she's alive, then I won't give up.
 We have to hurry!"


== 2nd Turn (Enemy) ==

*Narshen flies toward the castle*

Narshen
"Your Majesty!  We have found Princess Guinevere."

Zephiel
"Show her to me."

*Guinevere appears*

Guinevere
"My brother..."

Zephiel
"Guinevere.  So good to see you."

Guinevere
"Zephiel, why?  Why do you cause a war, killing innocent people..."

Zephiel
"Innocent, you say?  Hmph, jealousy, vanity, greed...  People are fighting over
 these silly things in any nation.  And you say they are innocent?"

Guinevere
"Well..."

Zephiel
"The world must liberated from such pointless things that men fight over.  That
 is the purpose of this war."

Guinevere
"But...people are being killed brutally in the process."

Zephiel
"Sacrifice is always needed in a radical change.  That is nothing new."

Guinevere
"Zephiel...!"

Zephiel
"Guinevere, you are my only sister.  Therefore, I will forgive you this time.
 But not the next.  Do you understand?"

Guinevere
"......"

Zephiel
"Narshen!  The leader of Guinevere's defenders was here, no?"

Narshen
"Yes.  Her name is Miledy."

Zephiel
"All right.  Tell her to take Guinevere back to Bern.  Also tell her to make
 sure that the Fire Emblem is returned to the Temple of Seals."

Narshen
"Yes."

Guinevere
"Zephiel..."

*Guinevere, Zephiel, and Narshen disappear into the castle*


== 3rd Turn ==

Guinevere
"Miledy..."

Miledy
"Princess Guinevere, it is good to see that you are safe.  Now, let us return
 to Bern on my mount.  ...Princess?"

Guinevere
"Miledy!"

Miledy
"W-What are you doing!?  Please put down that sword before you are hurt!"

Guinevere
"Miledy, please!  Let me go."

Miledy
"!!  ...Should I oblige, what would you do next?"

Guinevere
"...I understand that Roy of the Lycia Alliance Army is near here..."

Miledy
"!?  You would join the enemy!?"

Guinevere
"If we do nothing, the world will be overrun by Bern's forces...  No matter
 what kind of reasoning he gives, what he is doing is the same.  He is forcing
 others into submission through power.  And I do not think that that would lead
 to anything good..."

Miledy
"......"

Guinevere
"Miledy, I ask you to let me go."

Miledy
"...There is one thing..."

Guinevere
"?"

Miledy
"There is one thing I cannot forgive you for, Your Highness.  When you left
 Bern earlier, why did you not come to me to ask for my opinion...?"

Guinevere
"Well...  I thought that your reputation would be damaged, so..."

Miledy
"!  Did you think that I would prioritize my reputation above you?  I am your
 loyal knight more than I am a knight of Bern.  That has not changed ever since
 I was knighted."

Guinevere
"Miledy..."

Miledy
"So if you told me to let you go, then I would follow your order with
 pleasure."

Guinevere
"Miledy...thank you."

*Miledy and Guinevere fly towards Roy*

Miledy
"Please stop attacking!  I am not an enemy!"

Roy
"What?  Everyone, lower your weapons!"

Merlinus
"Master Roy, she may be lying..."

Roy
"She may be a messenger.  Killing a messenger goes against the knight's way."

Merlinus
"......"

Miledy
"Are you General Roy?"

Roy
"...Yes.  And you are?"

Guinevere
"Roy!"

Roy
"Princess Guinevere!?  You were safe."

Guinevere
"Yes...  I escaped with her assistance."

Miledy
"My name is Miledy."

Guinevere
"Roy, General Cecilia is alive."

Roy
"R-Really?"

Guinevere
"Yes.  Though she is severely wounded, she is alive.  She is in the prison cell
 right now."

Roy
"Thank you!  We have to rescue her!"

*Miledy joins*


== 3rd Turn (Enemy) ==

Zephiel
"Are they ready?"

Idoun
"Yes.  The Dragons are prepared to fight at your command."

Zephiel
"Narshen, I will give you some Dragons to fortify your militia.  I want you to
 send some of your forces to Nabata."

Narshen
"The Nabata Desert?  The desert lands located in the center of this peninsula?"

Zephiel
"Right.  I hear that there is a hidden village there in which Dragons have been
 staying ever since the Scouring."

Narshen
"I see...then there is a high chance that a Divine Weapon is located there."

Zephiel
"Exactly.  They must not fall into the hands of the enemy.  I already sent some
 troops to start attacking, but they are outnumbered."

Narshen
"Understood your Majesty.  I shall send some mercenaries and Dragons there at
 once."

Zephiel
"Good.  You can also take the girl we captured in Nabata.  She's a Shaman from
 the hidden village.  You can pry more information out of her if you need to."

Narshen
"Yes, your Majesty.  I shall have the village taken in no time."

Zephiel
"...I shall remember those words."

Narshen
"Of course!"

*Zephiel leaves the map.  Narshen moves to the castle*


== 4th Turn ==

*Inside castle dungeon*

Cecilia
"...Oh...  Where am I...  ...!"

Sophia (Shaman with long purple hair)
"You're still not well...  You shouldn't move..."

Cecilia
"Did you treat my wounds?"

Sophia
"...Yes...  I wasn't used to it, so...  Maybe I didn't do a good job..."

Cecilia
"Yes, you did.  Thank you.  We must find a way out of here...  ...Ow...!"

Sophia
"Don't move...  The wound will open again."

Cecilia
"But I must do something..."

Sophia
"It will be all right.  I can see a light...that will soon be here to help..."

Cecilia
"Light?"

Sophia
"Yes.  That light will aid us both.  We must wait for it..."

Cecilia
"Who are you...?"

Sophia
"I am Sophia...  A priestess of Arcadia..."

Cecilia
"What is 'Arcadia'?"

Sophia
"I shall tell you more about it later...  Right now, please trust me..."


== 9th Turn ==

Soldier
"Yes, what is it, General Percival?"

Percival
"We're leaving."

Soldier
"What?  Are you sure?"

Percival
"Bern's actions are clearly an act of insult to us of Etruria.  I cannot aid
 Bern any further.  We must return to Aquleia and inform Lord Douglas of this
 and plan our future actions.  Retreat at once!"

Soldier
"Yes, sir!"

*Percival and his troops leave the map.  If you don't speak to Percival before
 this dialogue ensues, you won't be able to obtain Percival until Ch 15.*


== When any of your (blue) units cross the center line of the map ==

Flaer
"General Narshen!  It's them!  The Lycia Alliance Army!"

Narshen
"What!?  Flaer!  I thought you had taken care of them at Djuto!"

Flaer
"I did!  Well...I left a Dragon to deal with them, so...  I never thought they
 would have survived!"

Narshen
"What!  In that case, my reputation as your officer is also jeopardized!  If I
 can't defeat the Lycia Alliance Army here, people will start to suspect my
 ability...  I must do something...  But they defeated a Dragon...  They seem
 to be tougher than I expected."

Flaer
"General Narshen...  What should we do...?"

Narshen
"I have no choice...  Flaer, I will return to Aquleia and plan an attack on the
 Alliance Army.  You stay here."

Flaer
"!  M-Me...  Stay here?"

Narshen
"You don't have to defeat them.  I just want you to hit them as hard as you can
 and decrease their numbers."

Flaer
"General Narshen!  You would use me as a cannon-fodder!"

Narshen
"Flaer...  To tell you the truth, you would have been executed a long time ago
 when you failed to capture the Western Isles.  I'm giving you a chance to
 prove your worth again.  You should be thankful.  Hehehe..."

Flaer
"But!"

Narshen
"Or do you want me to carry out your execution right here?"

Flaer
"...Yes...sir...  Understood."

Narshen
"Good.  Then I'll leave the rest to you."

*Narshen leaves the map.  Flaer moves to the castle*


== Conversation (Elphin, Percival) ==

Elphin
"Percival.  It is good to see you again."

Percival
"!!  You..."

Elphin
"Have you forgotten my face?"

Percival
"No...it cannot be.  The prince...is dead."

Elphin
"...I understand your confusion.  After all, a man who was pronounced dead is
 now standing before your very eyes."

Percival
"Prince Mildain!  You were alive...?"

Elphin
"I have troubled you for a long time now.  ...It has been over a year since I
 was assassinated."

Percival
"Assassinated!?  Your Majesty, did you not fall off your horse in an accident?"

Elphin
"No.  I was shot with a poisoned arrow.  First to my horse...and then to me."

Percival
"No..."

Elphin
"Douglas noticed first and made it public that I had been killed.  A different
 corpse was placed in the coffin, and everything was set up as if the
 assassination had been successful.  Douglas then entrusted me to his adopted
 daughter and let me escape to the Western Isles."

Percival
"Lord Douglas did that..."

Elphin
"Even after I escaped to the west, I suffered from a high fever caused by the
 poison for many months.  I was hovering so long between life and death that
 Douglas' daughter gave up hope countless times."

Percival
"......"

Elphin
"The resistance forces helped me by giving me medicine.  Ironic, is it not?
 They, who were fighting against Etrurian nobility, had saved the life of the
 Etrurian Prince!"

Percival
"......"

Elphin
"I recovered...slowly.  And then I saw the horrors being committed by the
 Etrurian nobles in the area.  I felt ashamed that I had not noticed when I was
 still residing on the throne."

Percival
"Your Majesty..."

Elphin
"While aiding the resistance forces I was looking for a chance to return to the
 mainland.  Then Roy came along, and I saw my chance.  And that is how I ended
 up here."

Percival
"Prince...  I am truly thankful that you returned alive."

Elphin
"I am with the Lycia Alliance Army right now, but I still must hide my true
 identity.  And if I still have the loyalty that you pledged me in the past..."

Percival
"I am at your service, my Prince.  My master is only one, and he is you, Prince
 Mildain."

*Percival joins.  His troops become NPC units*


== Conversation (Lalam, Percival) ==

Lalam
"Sir Percival!  It is you, isn't it?  I was looking for you!  I am..."

Lalam (stepping back)
"Wait!  Wait!  Stop your horse!  Listen to me!"

Percival
"Who are you?"

Lalam
"Don't you know!?  I thought we had met before."

Percival
"...I sort of recall seeing you at Lord Douglas' manor..."

Lalam
"Yes!  That's me.  You do know me, then!"

Percival
"But the girl I saw there was a little more...ordinary."

Lalam
"What's that supposed to mean?  Ah, no matter.  Anyway, my name is Lalam.  I'm
 here under the command of Prince Mildain."

Percival
"Prince Mildain...?  Don't be daft.  The prince was killed in an accident the
 year before."

Lalam
"Well...  Look at this!"

Percival
"!!  That emblem...belongs to the prince...!"

Lalam
"Now do I have your attention?  Then look at this letter too, the prince told
 me to give it to you."

Percival
"......  It is the prince's handwriting...  So he was alive!  Then I hesitate
 no more.  If the prince is in the Lycia Alliance Army, then I must do the
 same."

Lalam
"Wha-?  That was quick...  I was hoping things to get more dramatic...  Like,
 'If you would still fight us, then you would cut me down first!' or something
 like that..."

*Percival joins.  His troops become NPC units*


== Battle with Flaer ==

Flaer
"Damn...!!  But I am a knight of Bern!  I will not surrender!"


== Defeating Flaer ==

Flaer
"Remember this...  There are...plenty of warriors greater than I...  Bern's
 army shall annihilate you...for sure."


== After beating the map ==

Roy
"General Cecilia!"

Cecilia
"Roy...  I have made a fool out of myself in front of you."

Roy
"No, of course not!  I am relieved that you are alive...  But what of your
 wounds?  Are you all right?"

Cecilia
"Yes.  This girl treated them for me."

Roy
"And you are?"

Sophia
"I am Sophia...  A priestess of Arcadia..."

Cecilia
"She prophesized that you would be coming.  And you also said that you would
 tell us more once we were safe..."

Sophia
"Yes...  Arcadia, our home, lies to the east in the Nabata Desert.  We tried to
 stay an isolated people...but Bern found out about us, and..."

Roy
"They attacked you?"

Sophia
"Yes...  I...was too slow, and I was captured."

Roy
"I see...  But why would Bern attack a small village like yours?"

Sophia
"I don't know...  Maybe they found out about the Dragons that live in Arcadia."

Roy
"Dragons!?"

Sophia
"Yes...  Arcadia was built by Dragons and people joining forces a long time
 ago..."

Roy
"...Such a place existed..."

Sophia
"Master Roy...  Please, save our village...!"

Merlinus
"But the story does seem a bit unbelievable..."

Sophia
"......"

Roy
"...In any case, it's probably true that her village is under attack by Bern.
 Then we should help.  We owe Sophia anyway because she helped General
 Cecilia."

Sophia
"...Thank you."

Roy
"Then, can you tell us more about your village and the Dragons?"

Sophia
"Yes...  I will gladly tell you what I know."

*If Percival's troops (NPC) all survived*

Soldier
"General Percival, until further instructions are given, we will station
 ourselves in this castle and prepare for further coup d'etat force attacks."

Percival
"Good."

Soldier
"Here, we found this in the castle.  Please take it.  General Percival, please
 take care...of Etruria."

Percival
"I know.  Leave it to me."

Soldier
"Yes!"

===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

After rescuing Guinevere and Cecilia, Roy headed towards the Nabata Desert,
following Sophia's lead.  According to Sophia, there was a hidden oasis in the
desert, and that was where her village, Arcadia, was located.

However, at that time Arcadia was under attack by Bern's forces.  Their aim may
be the Dragons that are said to be inhabiting the village.

Although the Lycia Alliance Army moved as quickly as they could towards
Arcadia, a vicious sandstorm stood in their way.


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Inside a temple*

Igraine (Sniper with blond hair and dark skin)
"Hurry, Fa!  If you follow this path, there is a place to hide.  Can you make
 it there?"

Fa (little Mamkute girl with pink hair)
"But Fa's tired!"

Igraine
"Don't be stubborn.  Now go, or else Bern's soldiers might find us."

Fa
"What about Sophia?"

Igraine
"I don't know...  Maybe she was caught by Bern's troops."

Fa
"If we get caught by Bern, then can we see the outside world?"

Igraine
"Fa, no.  The elders said that we mustn't communicate with the outer world."

Fa
"Aww...  Please?"

Igraine
"No.  ...But I wonder how Bern found out about our village...  Perhaps it has
 something to do with the ominous 'force' that Sophia said she detected from
 the soldiers..."

Fa
"What's wrong?"

Igraine
"!  I shouldn't be thinking about such matters now.  Fa!  Over here, hurry!"

Fa
"...Fa wants to see the outside world too."

*Scene switches to outside.  Focus on castle*

Randy (Boss, Hero)
"Zeiss!  Hasn't General Narshen arrived yet?"

Zeiss (Dragon Knight with red hair, dark blue armor)
"A band of mercenaries and some Dragons have arrived as reinforcements, but
 General Narshen's group hasn't arrived yet."

Randy
"What is he doing?  He must know that it is impossible to take over the village
 with such a small army like this..."

Zeiss
"......"

Randy
"Anyway, we must inform the king about the Dragons that live here.  Zeiss, I
 want you to go to Aquleia and report to King Zephiel."

Zeiss
"What do you want me to say?"

Randy
"Dragons do indeed inhabit this village.  According to a captive, there are
 also signs of 'Divine Dragons,' the most powerful even among Dragons.  ...Tell
 him that."

Zeiss
"Yes sir."

Randy
"Make it quick."

*Zeiss flies off*

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"This is some sandstorm."

Sophia
"Yes...  This sandstorm has always protected our village from intruders."

Roy
"Well, it must be a pain trying to look for a village in this mess.  I can't
 see three meters ahead...  So in which direction do we move?"

Sophia
"Yes...  Head to the northeast...  But..."

Roy
"But?"

Sophia
"There may be many things hidden in the sand, blown around by the sandstorm...
 Please be careful where you step..."

== 7th Turn ==

*Rose, Maggie, and some Bandits appear from the south as enemy units*

Rose (Mini Boss, Berserker)
"Maggie my dear, did we not see someone head towards the middle of the desert?"

Maggie (Mini Boss, Berserker.  The two are supposed to be twins.)
"Yes, Rose, you are most correct."

Rose
"Then, Maggie, it must be true that there is a hidden village around here."

Maggie
"Bless my soul, Rose, I believe you are correct."

Rose
"But, my dear Maggie, we don't want to get lost in the sandstorm, do we?"

Maggie
"Of course not, Rose.  Then we wouldn't be able to find our way home."

Rose
"Well then, Maggie, do you think that we should pass up the hidden village?"

Maggie
"My dear Rose, you forget that there are rumors of vast treasures hidden in
 that village."

Rose
"Well, we certainly don't want to miss that, do we, Maggie?"

Maggie
"Of course, Rose.  We can make a lot more money through that than by mugging
 travelers."

Rose
"But we don't want to get lost either, do we, Maggie?"

Maggie
"My dear Rose, I have an idea.  We may follow the people who we saw heading
 into the desert earlier."

Rose
"That's a wonderful idea, Maggie.  And once we reach the village, we can thank
 them by mashing their heads in."

Maggie
"Of course, my dear Rose."

Rose
"Well then, Maggie, shall we be off?"

Maggie
"Why certainly, my dear Rose."


== 26th Turn ==

Roy
"The sandstorm...it stopped."

Merlinus
"This is our chance, Master Roy!  We can see the village clearly now!"

Roy
"But so can the enemy.  We have to hurry!"

*Once you see this scene, you won't be able to go to Ch 14 Gaiden.*

Sophia
"Something...is glittering in the sand...  Oh...  A beautiful ring..."

*Obtained Ring of Guidance*

*Note:  There are no lines when you first fight him.*

Rose
"...Bless my soul, Maggie...  It hurts, does it not?"


== Defeating Maggie ==

*Note:  There are no lines when you first fight him.*

Maggie
"...Hmm...  My dear Rose, maybe we were wrong..."


== Battle with Randy ==

Randy
"My sword is impenetrable.  Now choose your death.  By the blade...or by its
 light?"  (He says this because he's carrying the Light Magic Sword.)


== Defeating Randy ==

Randy
"I am glad...that I could meet one so strong as you...before my death."


== After beating the map ==

*If Sophia survived and if you finished in 25 turns or less*

Roy
"He was a tough opponent...but we won.  Sophia, where are the inhabitants of
 the village?  ...What's wrong?"

Sophia
"...The entrance to the temple..."

Roy
"This door...  It looks like it has been forced open.  What lies inside this
 temple?"

Sophia
"There is something which we call the Divine Weapon...  It is a spell book..."

Roy
"Divine Weapon!?  There was one here, too?  ...Then that must be what Bern was
 after!  In that case, we may be too late...!"

Sophia
"The Divine Weapon is still inside..."

Roy
"Really?  How can you tell?"

Sophia
"It is there...  I can feel it..."

Roy
"All right.  Let's go!  We may still be able to stop Bern!"

(To Ch 14 Gaiden)

*If Sophia was defeated or if you finished in 26 turns or more*

Elder of Arcadia
"Who are you?  How did you enter?"

Roy
"My name is Roy.  I came with Sophia to protect this village."

Elder
"With Sophia...?  Then it was you who drove off Bern's soldiers?  Oh...  Please
 forgive my impudence.  I am the Elder of Arcadia."

Roy
"Elder...  Then are you the Dragon?"

Elder
"Dragon...  They once called me that.  But that is a story of a time long since
 past."

Roy
"......"

Elder
"Let me see...  The only real Dragon we have is Fa right here."

Fa
"Hi..."

Roy
"This little girl is a Dragon?"

Elder
"Yes, although she is far from the mature form."

Roy
"Elder, do you know anything about the Dragons in Bern?"

Elder
"What!  There are Dragons in Bern?"

Roy
"Yes, we have seen them."

Elder
"Why...?  Dragons do not exist anywhere except here."

*Igraine appears*

Igraine
"Elder, if I may."

Elder
"What is it, Igraine?"

Igraine
"Sophia said that she could detect an evil 'force' coming from Bern's troops.
 That may have something to do with the Dragons Roy says he saw at Bern."

Elder
"Perhaps...  But I am too old to detect such force now."

Roy
"'Force?'  What is that?"

Elder
"Sophia is half Dragon, half human.  That gives her the ability to detect the
 pulses emitted from other Dragons.  But because she can't detect them clearly,
 she only said that she felt a force that was twisted unnaturally."

Igraine
"I think that you should look into it.  Elder, if you would allow it, I would
 like to ask to join Roy and look into Bern for myself."

Elder
"I really do not want to deal with matters of the outside...  But this is a
 time of emergency.  Well then Roy, will you take her?"

Roy
"Certainly."

Igraine
"I am Igraine, the Guardian of Nabata.  I have confidence in my skills with the
 bow.  I believe I can aid you in battle as well."

Roy
"Thank you."

Fa
"Fa's going too!"

Elder
"What are you saying.  Of course you may not.  There is no telling what could
 happen if your existence were exposed to the world!"

Fa
"......"

Roy
"Well then, let's go."

Igraine
"Yes."

Fa
"...Fine...  Fa will just follow them anyway!"

== On the World Map ==

In the hidden village Arcadia stands an ancient temple.  One of the Divine
Weapons is said to be hidden in it.

Roy and company were quick to follow Bern's troops, who had already found their
way into the temple...


== Opening Cutscene ==

Ohtz (Boss, Sage)
"Haven't you found the Divine Weapon yet!"

Soldier
"Yes, we think it is lying inside this altar, but it won't open..."

Ohtz
"Break it, force it open, or do whatever!  We do not have much time."

Soldier
"But we must also deal with the enemies that have entered the temple!  We don't
 have enough manpower to use force on the altar."

Ohtz
"Then we must get rid of the enemy first.  Then we can examine the altar with
 leisure."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"This is the underground of the desert?  There's so much...water."

Sophia
"This is close to a large source of groundwater...  That's why plants and
 animals can live here..."

Roy
"I see.  So that's why you were able to build a village here.  Still, how did
 you find such a convenient place like this?"

Sophia
"Athos...  The "Archsage" Athos is the one who led us here..."

Roy
"What?  Do you mean the Athos who was one of the Eight Heroes?"

Sophia
"Yes...  After the Scouring...Master Athos traveled around Elibe...  At the
 end of his journey, he arrived at a village in which people and Dragons lived
 together...  But he said that...it would only be a matter of time before it
 was found by other people..."

Roy
"So he led you here..."

Sophia
"Yes...  And he hid his Divine Weapon inside this temple..."

Roy
"And...  Can we use his Divine Weapon?"

Sophia
"Yes...  Master Athos said that we were to use his weapon to protect Arcadia...
 And if you use it...it would be to protect us..."

Roy
"All right.  Thank you."

Sophia
"Some of the pathways of this temple will suddenly sink into the water...
 Please be careful..."


== Battle with Ohtz ==

Ohtz
"I...wasn't expecting you to fight so well against all of us."


== Defeating Ohtz ==

Ohtz
"Where...did you learn to fight...like this..."


== After beating the map ==

Sophia
"It is here...inside this altar..."

Roy
"...  It won't open."

Sophia
"This altar is made...so that only those of the village may open it...  So
 please allow me..."

Roy
"Yes."

Sophia
"......  There...there is the Divine Weapon..."

Roy
"The one that Athos used?  Then..."

Sophia
"Yes...  The "Infernal Element," Foreblaze..."

*Scene switches to outside, back to the village*

Elder of Arcadia
"Who are you?  How did you enter?"

Roy
"My name is Roy.  I came with Sophia to protect this village."

                    Chapter 15: The Girl of the Dragon Race
===============================================================================

== On the world map ==

After saving the hidden village of Arcadia, Roy's army found their way out of
the desert, following Igraine's lead.

Now they turned toward Etruria to confront the Coup d'etat forces.  At this
point, a disturbing message came from the Elder of Arcadia.

Apparently, Fa, the little Dragon girl, had left Arcadia, following Roy.  If
she were to fall into the hands of the Coup d'etat forces or of Bern, who stood
behind them, it would be a disaster.

Bent on finding Fa, Roy moved his forces toward a small fort near the Etrurian
border.


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Inside castle*

Soldier
"General Raeth, about the girl we captured earlier..."

Raeth (Boss)
"Girl?  That one that was scurrying around the outskirts of the castle?  Are
 you still worrying yourself about that thing?  Just throw her out."

Soldier
"But sir, she was carrying this."

Raeth
"?  Is this...a Dragon Stone?"

Soldier
"...That is also what I thought, so I decided to report."

Raeth
"Have you ever seen a Dragon Stone before?"

Soldier
"Yes, when we invaded Lycia.  The Mamkutes were carrying them when they were in
 their human form."

Raeth
"...But it looks different from the ones that they held.  Well anyway, it still
 has to do with the Dragons.  I suppose we should inform King Zephiel about it
 and follow his instructions.  Make sure that the girl stays inside the
 castle!"

*If you didn't get Percival to join in Ch 13*

*Percival, his troops and Douglas appear in the topleft of the map as enemies*

Douglas (General with black hair and black beard)
"Percival, you must not force yourself."

Percival
"Lord Douglas, please do not worry about me.  You must return to King Mordred's
 side."

Douglas
"Getting rid of the Lycia Alliance Army...  That is not a job that requires the
 Knight General's assistance.  But still you were sent...Roartz, that snake."

Percival
"He must be wary of my turning against him.  He must be thinking that if I were
 stationed at Aquleia, I may try and murder him in his sleep."

Douglas
"That man, worrying about traitors?  Ha!  He shouldn't be the one to talk.
 Why, he was first to betray his loyalty to the king!  The bastard."

Percival
"Well, Lord Douglas, it just goes to show that not many have such loyalty as
 you."

Douglas
"Rubbish.  Look at yourself."

Percival
"...When Prince Mildain was still alive, I had no hesitations.  I believed that
 I would dedicate my life to him and to the wellbeing of Etruria.  And this
 mission...  It is to protect the king's life.  That should be enough reason
 to fight..."

Douglas
"Do you hesitate now?"

Percival
"Yes, slightly.  But it matters not.  Nothing will change even if I do."

Douglas
"I see...  Percival, my speech from this point forth is merely to myself.  Do
 not reply to it."

Percival
"......"

Douglas
"Etruria...will most certainly fall with the king before this war ends."

Percival
"!!  Lord Douglas!?"

Douglas
"Listen!  No matter what happens, I will stay by the king's side.  But you,
 Percival, you are different.  You are the one who will lead tomorrow's
 Etruria.  I cannot say when, but I firmly believe that Etruria will be blessed
 with prosperity once more.  So Percival, you must leave Etruria and wait until
 that time comes."

Percival
"Lord Douglas!  What does..."

Soldier
"General Percival!  We have confirmed the Lycia Alliance Army up ahead!  What
 are your orders, sir!"

Douglas
"Now go!  I will return to Aquleia now."

*Douglas leaves*

Percival
"...  Move forth!  Pursue the Lycia Alliance Army!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"Fa has been taken to that castle over there?"

Merlinus
"Yes.  The locals have witnessed it."

Igraine
"Roy, I am truly sorry...  One of my people has caused you great inconvenience,
 when we must be hurrying toward Aquleia."

Roy
"No, please don't worry about it.  If she falls into the hands of Bern, that
 in itself would be a disaster."

Igraine
"I believe that she would be safe as long as she remains in her human form and
 doesn't show anyone her Dragon Stone."

Roy
"Dragon Stone?"

Igraine
"Yes.  When Dragons are in their human form, they seal their powers into
 crystals called Dragon Stones.  In this world, it is said that Dragons must
 use vast amounts of energy to maintain their actual form, so usually they
 remain in their human form to minimize energy consumption."

Roy
"Maybe the 'humans not human' in Bern were in human form for the same reason."

Igraine
"By listening to the story you told us earlier, probably you are right.  It is
 also said that Dragons starting taking human form ever since the end of the
 Scouring."

Roy
"That long ago..."

Igraine
"Yes..."

Merlinus
"Master Roy, the spy we sent to the castle has returned."

Roy
"What did you find out?"

Merlinus
"It seems that a lot of soldiers have been coming out of the castle.  They seem
 to the fortifying the defenses around it."

Roy
"Oh...  Maybe they found out that Fa is a Dragon."

Merlinus
"And the troops protecting the border seem to have noticed us."

Roy
"We have to rescue her quickly."

*Igraine joins automatically when you start the map*


== 3rd Turn ==

*Garret and some Bandits appear from the mountains*

Garret (Berserker with dark skin and a skinhead)
"This is gonna be a battlefield too..."

Bandit
"So what do we do, Boss?"

Garret
"The army's gonna loot the villages anyway.  I suppose we better ransack 'em
 first."

Bandit
"Awright, Boss!"

Garret
"But make sure you don't do any unnecessary killing, you got that?"

Bandit
"Got it..."

*Garret leaves*

Bandit
"That guy's too nice...  Well, I guess we can make it all the army's fault."

*Garret and the Bandits start to move to loot the villages*


== 10th Turn ==

Soldier
"General Raeth, the reinforcements are ready!"

Raeth
"Good.  Send them out."

Soldier
"Yes sir."


== Conversation (Elphin, Percival) ==

*Only if Percival didn't join in Ch 13*

Elphin
"Percival.  It is good to see you again."

Percival
"!!  You..."

Elphin
"Have you forgotten my face?"

Percival
"No...it cannot be.  The prince...is dead."

Elphin
"...I understand your confusion.  After all, a man who was pronounced dead is
 now standing before your very eyes."

Percival
"Prince Mildain!  You were alive...?"

Elphin
"I have troubled you for a long time now.  ...It has been over a year since I
 was assassinated."

Percival
"Assassinated!?  Your Majesty, did you not fall off your horse in an accident?"

Elphin
"No.  I was shot with a poisoned arrow.  First to my horse...and then to me."

Percival
"No..."

Elphin
"Douglas noticed first and made it public that I had been killed.  A different
 corpse was placed in the coffin, and everything was set up as if the
 assassination had been successful.  Douglas then entrusted me to his adopted
 daughter and let me escape to the Western Isles."

Percival
"Lord Douglas did that..."

Elphin
"Even after I escaped to the west, I suffered from a high fever caused by the
 poison for many months.  I was hovering so long between life and death that
 Douglas' daughter gave up hope countless times."

Percival
"......"

Elphin
"The resistance forces helped me by giving me medicine.  Ironic, is it not?
 They, who were fighting against Etrurian nobility, had saved the life of the
 Etrurian Prince!"

Percival
"......"

Elphin
"I recovered...slowly.  And then I saw the horrors being committed by the
 Etrurian nobles in the area.  I felt ashamed that I had not noticed when I was
 still residing on the throne."

Percival
"Your Majesty..."

Elphin
"While aiding the resistance forces I was looking for a chance to return to the
 mainland.  Then Roy came along, and I saw my chance.  And that is how I ended
 up here."

Percival
"Prince...  I am truly thankful that you returned alive."

Elphin
"I am with the Lycia Alliance Army right now, but I still must hide my true
 identity.  And if I still have the loyalty that you pledged me in the past..."

Percival
"I am at your service, my Prince.  My master is only one, and he is you, Prince
 Mildain."

*Percival joins.  His troops become NPC units*


== Conversation (Lalam, Percival) ==

*Only if Percival didn't join in Ch 13*

Lalam
"Sir Percival!  It is you, isn't it?  I was looking for you!  I am..."

Lalam (stepping back)
"Wait!  Wait!  Stop your horse!  Listen to me!"

Percival
"Who are you?"

Lalam
"Don't you know!?  I thought we had met before."

Percival
"...I sort of recall seeing you at Lord Douglas' manor..."

Lalam
"Yes!  That's me.  You do know me, then!"

Percival
"But the girl I saw there was a little more...ordinary."

Lalam
"What's that supposed to mean?  Ah, no matter.  Anyway, my name is Lalam.  I'm
 here under the command of Prince Mildain."

Percival
"Prince Mildain...?  Don't be daft.  The prince was killed in an accident the
 year before."

Lalam
"Well...  Look at this!"

Percival
"!!  That emblem...belongs to the prince...!"

Lalam
"Now do I have your attention?  Then look at this letter too, the prince told
 me to give it to you."

Percival
"......  It is the prince's handwriting...  So he was alive!  Then I hesitate
 no more.  If the prince is in the Lycia Alliance Army, then I must do the
 same."

Lalam
"Wha-?  That was quick...  I was hoping things to get more dramatic...  Like,
 'If you would still fight us, then you would cut me down first!' or something
 like that..."

*Percival joins.  His troops become NPC units*


== Conversation (Lilina, Garret) ==

Lilina
"Wait!"

Garret
"What?  Who are you?"

Lilina
"Why?  Why do you attack the villages?"

Garret
"Eh?  Who do you think you are?"

Lilina
"Tell me your reason for attacking the villages!"

Garret
"Reason?  ...Well, I could say that it's your fault."

Lilina
"Our fault...?"

Garret
"Yup.  Because you idiots are causing wars like this, there are more and more
 people like me who have to do banditry to get food."

Lilina
"We are fighting to help people like that."

Garret
"Right, I've heard that enough times now.  Look at reality, kid.  They all say
 that they're trying to help, but it's all words and empty promises.  Where's
 the action?  You got your head in the clouds, you just can't see what goes on
 on the ground.  Get it?  Now out of my way."

Lilina
"...No."

Garret
"What!?  Listen, I ain't playing games with you.  If you don't get the hell out
 of here..."

Lilina
"I won't move.  If you want to kill me, then you may do as you wish."

Garret
"What..."

Lilina
"If I let you pass, I would just be another one of those people who you say are
 all talk and no action.  I am telling the truth!  We are fighting to help the
 people."

Garret
"You...  Hehe...  I never thought I'd meet anyone so naive to think as you do."

Lilina
"Do you...laugh at us...?"

Garret
"But still, it's nice to hear once in a while."

Lilina
"Then..."

Garret
"All right, you win.  I'll stop looting.  But you gotta let me fight with you
 guys.  I gotta see with my own eyes that you're gonna be true to your words."

Lilina
"Thank you.  If you fight alongside us, I'm sure you will understand."

Garret
"Well, you certainly seem confident about that.  I'm Garret.  And you're..."

Lilina
"Lilina."

Garret
"Lilina?  Well then, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, milady."

*Garret joins*


== Battle with Raeth ==

Raeth
"Hmm...  There must be a reason that you attack this castle...  But what...?"


== Defeating Raeth ==

Raeth
"Gah...!  That girl...she isn't human, is she!  Why...do you seek her...!  To
 use her power...?  ...!"


== After beating the map ==

Merlinus
"Master Roy, here she is!"

Roy
"You found her?  Wait, I'm coming!"

Merlinus
"Now young lady, thank Master Roy."

Fa
"...sniff sniff..."

Roy
"It's okay, Merlinus.  ...Now, why did you follow us?"

Fa
"Fa just wanted to see the outside world..."

Merlinus
"What!  For such a reason...  Do you know how much confusion you have caused?"

Fa
"But...but...  Fa's never, ever allowed outside!  The elders say that Fa has to
 be hidden...  Fa is always all alone...all locked up in her room..."

Roy
"......"

Merlinus
"Master Roy, what shall we do?"

Roy
"...You've suffered a lot.  But do you understand that you've worried the
 elders and caused a lot of inconvenience?"

Fa
"Fa's sorry..."

Roy
"Really sorry?"

Fa
"Yes."

Roy
"Well then, you can come with us."

Fa
"Really!?"

Merlinus
"Are you sure?"

Roy
"The enemy might already know about her.  In that case, it's better to have her
 where we can see her rather than letting her go off on her own back to
 Arcadia."

Fa
"Yay!"

Merlinus
"Hush!  Don't get too excited."

Roy
"But you mustn't go off alone anymore.  Promise?"

Fa
"Yes!  Fa promises!"

*If Percival's troops (NPC) all survived*

Soldier
"General Percival, until further instructions are given, we will station
 ourselves in this castle and prepare for further coup d'etat force attacks."

Percival
"Good."

Soldier
"Here, we found this in the castle.  Please take it.  General Percival, please
 take care...of Etruria."

Percival
"I know.  Leave it to me."

Soldier
"Yes!"

                        Chapter 16: Retaking the Capitol
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

After rescuing Fa, Roy headed for Aquleia.

The capitol of Etruria, Aquleia is also the largest, most prosperous city on
the continent.

Preparing for the Lycia Alliance Army's attack, the Coup d'etat army
concentrated their forces in Aquleia.

Originally they had planned on using the garrison of the city for defense, but
since the Elimine Church had turned to Roy's side, the Coup d'etat army had no
choice but to retreat to the castle and take post there instead for fear that
the Church may have encouraged the city denizens to protest.

The Elimine Church was started by "Saint" Elimine, one of the Eight Heroes.
This religious organization had many followers, primarily in Bern and Etruria.

Roy had gained the Church's support in attacking Aquleia.  However, Narshen and
his elite troops were waiting for Roy inside the castle.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Narshen
"Damn...!  That Lycia Alliance Army still stands!  How could they come this
 far...!"

Soldier
"G-General Narshen...  The leader of the Three Dragon Lords, Lord Murdock is
 here!"

Narshen
"What!?  H-Hurry!  Send someone out to escort him here!  Make sure he gets the
 utmost attention..."

Soldier
"He is already here..."

*Murdock appears*

Murdock (General with light brown hair.  It's the same Murdock from FE7)
"Enough.  Step aside."

Narshen
"L-Lord Murdock...  What a pleasant surprise!  What brings you all the way from
 Ilia?"

Murdock
"Narshen, I believe you owe me an explanation."

Narshen
"I-I'm sorry sir, I don't quite understand..."

Murdock
"Princess Guinevere has escaped, again.  Flaer, your lieutenant, has failed in
 his mission at the Western Isles.  Also, you have neglected the mission of
 capturing the hidden village in Nabata as given from the king himself!
 Narshen!  I want explanations.  Now!"

Narshen
"Y-Yes...  Well you see, my Lord, there have been many complications, and..."

Murdock
"...Enough.  I have orders from the king.  You are to be demoted from Dragon
 Lord status."

Narshen
"What!?"

Murdock
"His Majesty wants Gale to take your place."

Narshen
"My Lord!  Please wait!  Please give me one more chance!"

Murdock
"...The Lycia Alliance Army is approaching here.  Show me your worth, and stop
 them.  If you succeed, I will negotiate with the king."

Narshen
"Lord Murdock..."

Murdock
"Narshen...  Don't fail the king...or me, again."

*Murdock leaves the map*

Narshen
"Rubbish!  Me, demoted!?  And my replacement is that Gale...!  Never!  I will
 not allow that to happen!  B-But what can I do...  No...!  My honor, my
 status...  It's all collapsing!"

Soldier
"General Narshen, the enemy is getting close..."

Narshen
"Quiet!  I know that.  ...Wait.  Miledy's younger brother was stationed in this
 castle...and he's the one who let the princess escape.  Ah!  I can say we
 failed because he was leaking information to the enemy and get rid of him
 later!  Hehehe..."

Soldier
"General Narshen...  What are you thinking?"

Narshen
"Hm?  Oh, you know Miledy's younger brother, don't you?"

Soldier
"Do you mean Sir Zeiss?"

Narshen
"Right, Zeiss.  Anyway, he's suspected of leaking information to the Lycia
 Alliance Army.  Capture him and bring him here."

Soldier
"What?  But Sir Zeiss would never do something like that..."

Narshen
"Shut up!  All you must do is follow my orders!  Now bring him here!"

*Scene switches to Arcard, Roartz, and Douglas*

Arcard
"T-The enemy is right at our doorstep!"

Roartz (General with white hair)
"Oh...what must we do!  If we get caught, we shall be prosecuted as the
 initiators of the coup d'etat...!"

Douglas
"......"

Roartz
"...Arcard!  This is all your fault!  If you had done your duty and gotten rid
 of the Lycia Alliance Army at the Western Isles..."

Arcard
"B-But Lord Roartz...!  ...No!  This is not the time to be arguing, my Lord!
 We must escape!"

Roartz
"But escape to where..."

Arcard
"...Let us turn to Bern!  This is originally their plan..."

Roartz
"Y-Yes, of course!  We have done what they asked of us.  They would be sure to
 help us."

Douglas
"...May I ask what you intend to do with the king?"

Roartz
"Er...  No, they would not harm the king.  After all, King Zephiel's mother was
 from Etruria.  Anyway, Douglas, you must escape too..."

Douglas
"I refuse.  I was originally fighting alongside you because King Mordred's
 safety was at stake.  I had no intention of going along with your plans."

Roartz
"Hmph!  Stubborn as always, I see.  Suit yourself.  Arcard, let us escape!"

Arcard
"Lord Roartz!  Please wait..."

*Roartz and Arcard leave the map*

Douglas
"...Dirty traitors!  Fleeing at the last minute...  It must have been easy for
 Bern to seduce them.  I suppose I can leave those two to the Lycia Alliance
 Army...  If Prince Mildain returns...Etruria will pull itself together again.
 And until then...  I shall fight and prove my loyalty as the 'Great General'
 of Etruria!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Yodel
"Master Roy, this is the palace of Aquleia.  According to the information we
 have gathered, the Coup d'etat forces are stationed inside."

Roy
"Bishop Yodel, I thank you for your help.  Thanks to the Elimine Church, we
 were able to avoid fighting in the city and killing innocent people."

Yodel
"No, I must thank you.  Our order was being prejudiced by the Coup d'etat
 group, so if you hadn't come along to fight, we would have been driven out of
 the land a long time ago."

Roy
"Prejudiced?  Why?"

Yodel
"Mostly likely because we were investigating on Bern's Dragons.  Saint Elimine,
 our founder, said this before she ascended to heaven:  'Never allow the
 Dragons to be brought back to the world...  It would mean death for many a
 people.'  Therefore, we are making our best efforts to find a way to send the
 Dragons back to the world in which they belong."

Roy
"...If the Coup d'etat forces had joined with Bern, then of course they would
 want to stop you."

Yodel
"Yes.  Also, we found out this:  The resurrection of the Dragons is somehow
 tied to the Fire Emblem, Bern's greatest treasure.  That was where I sent Saul
 and Dorothy to investigate."

Roy
"I see."

Yodel
"Master Roy, you must stop the Coup d'etat troops.  And if you would allow me
 to give you further advice, I would suggest that you do not do any unnecessary
 killing.  I am sure there are troops that had no choice but to join the Coup
 d'etat due to inner reasons."

Roy
"Yes."

Yodel
"May Saint Elimine bless you, Master Roy."

== 1st Turn ==

*Gale and Zeiss appear in the topleft of the map*

Gale
"Zeiss.  Where are you?"

Zeiss
"Yes, I'm here, Sir Gale.  Is something wrong?  Why did you summon me here..."

Gale
"There is no time to be explaining the details.  Zeiss, you must hide for now."

Zeiss
"...What do you mean?  The enemy is right in front of us!"

Gale
"Zeiss, listen to me.  Just now, General Narshen gave an order to the entire
 army...to capture you."

Zeiss
"What!?  Does he think that I am betraying Bern?"

Gale
"He is trying to put the responsibility for all his past failures on your
 shoulders.  He is saying that you worked with Miledy to leak information to
 the enemy."

Zeiss
"With my sister?  We don't even know where she is."

Gale
"Miledy has apparently joined the Lycia Alliance Army alongside the Princess."

Zeiss
"!!  Miledy turned to the enemy!?  I don't believe it..."

Gale
"Then get the story from her yourself.  I want to go with you as well, but I
 have been told by Lord Murdock to watch the battle and report back to him.
 Zeiss, I want you escape when you see the chance and go speak with your
 sister."

Zeiss
"Sir Gale!  I..."

Gale
"I do not intend on doing anything until we hear Miledy's story."

Zeiss
"......"

*Gale leaves the map*


== 2nd Turn ==

*Focus on Hugh*

Hugh (Mage with purple hair)
"What the?  The Etrurian nobles ran off?  Wait a minute, then what happens to
 my payment?  I haven't been paid for this mission yet!"


== 10th Turn ==

*Only if you didn't get Cath to join in Ch 12*

*Cath appears*

Cath
"The treasures are calling me!  So this is the palace of the richest family in
 Elibe...  The treasure must be something indeed.  Well, they took it all from
 us in the first place, so I'll only be taking it back!"

*Cath starts to move around the map to loot the treasure chests*


== Conversation (Roy, Hugh) ==

Hugh
"Hey you!  You're the leader of the army that's attacking the castle, right?
 Do you have a shortage in magicians?"

Roy
"?  Well, I guess we could always use more..."

Hugh
"Really?  Great!  You see, there's a Mage willing to fight for you.  You think
 you would want to hire him?"

Roy
"Where is he?"

Hugh
"Right in front of you!"

Roy
"......"

Hugh
"Hey, don't look at me like that!  I'm pretty decent with my magic.  You can
 hire me for 10000 gold."

Roy
"10000!  That's expensive..."

Hugh
"Come on!  I need money for my grandma..."

Roy
"What?  Is your grandmother sick or something?"

Hugh
"Er...  R-Right!  Something to that nature...  Anyway, I need some cash.  Come
 on, pal!"

Roy
"Well..."
      Yes
      No

*If you choose Yes*

Roy
"All right, if your grandmother's sick, then I suppose you need money for
 medicine..."

Hugh
"You got that right!  She's really sick, you know.  She's always getting these
 really bad headaches around her back..."

Roy
"Huh?  Headaches around her back?"

Hugh
"Um, y-you know what I mean, I was just giving an example of the pain...
 ...Ookay, got the money.  I'll do my job well.  You can count on me!"

Roy
"......"

*Hugh joins*

*If you choose No*

Roy
"I'm sorry, but I can't pay 10000 gold for just one person."

Hugh
"What!  ...W-Well, I could compensate with 8000..."

Roy
"?..."

Hugh
"Come on, please?"

Roy
"Well..."
      Yes
      No

*If you choose No*

Roy
"I'm sorry, but..."

Hugh
"S-Still no good?  Um...well, I guess 6000 gold would still do..."

Roy
"Er..."

Hugh
"Please.  I really need the money..."

Roy
"Well..."
      Yes
      No

*If you choose No*

Roy
"......"

Hugh
"......  All right, all right!  I'm really getting desperate now...  5000!
 How's that!"

Roy
"......"

Hugh
"Come on, I'm begging you!  Please hire me!"

Roy
"Well..."
      Yes
      No

*If you choose No*

Roy
"...I'm sorry."

Hugh
"No...  ...Please...I swear I'll be really useful..."

Roy
"The money we have belongs to all of us.  I have no right to use it on my own
 judgment."

Hugh
"Argh!  I give up!  Fine!  Have it your way.  Just when I thought you were
 somebody...  Ha!  You've got some pretty 'nice' beliefs, haven't you, kid!"

Roy
"......"

*Hugh's stats will become lower each time you try to hire him for less.*


== Conversation (Roy, Cath) ==

Roy
"Oh!  You're..."

Cath
"Hm?  ...You again?  These days you always seem to appear to screw up my plans.
 Do you have something against me?"

Roy
"No!  I just...wanted to apologize."

Cath
"...Excuse me?"

Roy
"The last time we met, I said some pretty harsh things.  Like calling you a
 villain when I didn't know the things you had gone through..."

Cath
"Oh, that?  It's okay.  It's not really bothering me."

Roy
"But I still think that what you're doing isn't right."

Cath
"You've really got nerve to say that, don't you?"

Roy
"So would you give me chance?"

Cath
"A chance?"

Roy
"Once this war is over, I'll promise to rebuild the villages that were damaged
 because of it.  I'll be sure to make good use of the taxes that they pay.  So
 until then, I'd like you to stop stealing."

Cath
"How long would that be?"

Roy
"When this war is over.  I can't say exactly when..."

Cath
"And you expect me to wait patiently until then?"

Roy
"Yes.  Would that be okay?"

Cath
"Why?  Why do you tell me this?  Why do you try so hard to help someone like
 me?  You should just leave a burglar like me alone."

Roy
"Without you, we wouldn't have been able to escape from Wagner's castle.
 Though you probably weren't trying to help us, you did, and you saved our
 lives.  We can't just leave our benefactor alone."

Cath
"Well well, at the rate you're going, I guess you'll be getting in my way no
 matter where I go."

Roy
"As long as you appear in our path."

Cath
"All right, you win.  I'll stop coming to battlefields to steal."

Roy
"Really?  Thanks for understanding."

Cath
"But, you have to let me go along with you."

Roy
"?"

Cath
"Action speak louder than words.  I have to see whether you're going to be true
 to your words or not."

Roy
"All right!"

*Cath joins*


== Conversation (Elphin, Douglas) ==

Elphin
"Douglas!"

Douglas
"Prince Mildain!  You are back!  You seem so well now...thank goodness."

Elphin
"It is all thanks to you.  I am sorry I put you through this."

Douglas
"You returned safely...  That is more than enough praise."

Elphin
"Douglas, I am currently working with the Lycia Alliance Army."

Douglas
"Is that so!  Then everything will go smoothly as long as we can drive off
 Bern's troops from the palace."

Elphin
"What...are you going to do?"

Douglas
"The king is still in the enemy's hands.  If I turn against Bern now, the king
 would be in danger..."

Elphin
"......"

Douglas
"But now that you have returned, I have no more regrets, even if I were to be
 defeated by the Lycia Alliance Army."

Elphin
"Douglas...I apologize.  You are doing this all for my father..."

Douglas
"My Prince, if my life were to be used for the true benefit of Etruria, then
 that would be my last wish."

Elphin
"......"

Douglas
"I am glad that I could see you alive before my death."

Elphin
"You risked your life to protect me and let me escape to the Western Isles.  I
 shall never forget that.  ...Never."

Douglas
"...I still have false hope.  I still think of trying to take you to see the
 king..."

Elphin
"...Douglas, I will not give up hope.  Roy...he just might be able to..."

*Douglas will not join yet*


== Conversation (Lalam, Douglas) ==

Lalam
"Father!"

Douglas
"Lalam!  What are you doing here?"

Lalam
"I joined the Lycia Alliance Army with Prince Mildain..."

Douglas
"!  So the prince has returned!  Now Etruria has hope..."

Lalam
"Father..."

Douglas
"Lalam...  I'm sorry I put you through this.  I had to send you off along to
 protect the prince."

Lalam
"No!  That was what I wanted to do."

Douglas
"...But just when I thought I had saved you from a hard life, I had to send you
 out to be a dancer again."

Lalam
"...You saved me from that terrible life with no food...no money...  And you
 even raised me as your own daughter...  From that time, I made up my mind that
 I would one day return the gift, that I would be of some use to you."

Douglas
"Lalam..."

Lalam
"So I'm really...glad, now.  I'm finally being useful to you..."

Douglas
"Lalam, thank you.  ...Please take care of the prince from now on as well."

Lalam
"What about you?  You're not coming with us?"

Douglas
"King Mordred is still in the hands of the enemy.  If I turn to Lycia Alliance
 Army now, then the king's life would be in danger."

Lalam
"...But still..."

Douglas
"Now that the prince has returned safely, I have no regrets, even I am to be
 taken down by the Lycia Alliance Army."

Lalam
"......"

Douglas
"Now go.  If you are seen with me, you would be suspected of treachery.  No
 matter where you are, you would always be my true daughter.  Always."

Lalam
"Father..."

Douglas
"May your life be blessed with happiness..."

== Conversation (Cecilia, Douglas) ==

Douglas
"Cecilia."

Cecilia
"Lord Douglas...  Why is someone of your stature fighting for the Coup d'etat
 forces...?"

Douglas
"I am prioritizing the king's safety.  That is all."

Cecilia
"But if this continues, Etruria would become a puppet state for Bern!  There
 must be a nation for there to be a king.  If the nation falls, so will its
 power.  And in the end, all will be forgotten!"

Douglas
"If this nation is doomed to collapse...then so be it.  But I will assure the
 king's safety!"

Cecilia
"What...!  We must fight for our people, for our nation!  The Etrurian army is
 for the people.  They are not the king's private soldiers!"

Douglas
"...It is a matter of opinion.  Cecilia, you must follow your beliefs, as I
 must follow mine."

== Conversation (Percival, Douglas) ==

Percival
"Lord Douglas!"

Douglas
"Percival...  I see no more hesitation in your eyes now."

Percival
"Lord Douglas, it is thanks to you.  Because you saved Prince Mildain, I was
 able to return to be an honorable knight again."

Douglas
"Good."

Percival
"What are you going to do, Lord Douglas?"

Douglas
"The king is still in the hands of the enemy.  If I turn to Lycia Alliance Army
 now, then the king's life would be in danger."

Percival
"......"

Douglas
"Now that the prince has returned, I have no regrets, even if I am to be taken
 down by the Lycia Alliance Army."

Percival
"I knew you would say that, my Lord."

Douglas
"Well, you have walked the same path as I.  Please take care of the prince...
 and of Etruria."

Percival
"Yes.  I shall dedicate my life to them."

== Conversation (Miledy, Zeiss) ==

Zeiss
"Miledy!"

Miledy
"Zeiss!?  What are you doing here?"

Zeiss
"...I'm being accused of betraying Bern."

Miledy
"Oh...!  Is it...my fault...?

Zeiss
"Sir Gale said that you had joined the enemy.  But I couldn't believe it until
 now, when I can see it with my own eyes!  Why!  Why did you betray Bern?"

Miledy
"I never betrayed Bern.  I just wanted to help Princess Guinevere."

Zeiss
"So you threw away everything...your homeland, your family, even your lover...
 for the princess.  For that...stubborn princess who betrayed her own brother!"

Miledy
"Enough, Zeiss!  I will not tolerate you insulting Princess Guinevere!"

Zeiss
"......"

Miledy
"It is the princess, not the king, who is truly working for the good of Bern.
 Granted, I was angry when the princess left without consulting me at all.  But
 now that I am by her side, I understand more than ever...that she had not made
 a mistake."

Zeiss
"...Sir Gale was right."

Miledy
"?"

Zeiss
"He said that he didn't intend on doing anything until he heard your story."

Miledy
"Gale said that..."

Zeiss
"I don't fully agree with you yet, but...  I know I can trust you."

Miledy
"Zeiss!  Then...?"

Zeiss
"If the Lycia Alliance Army's leader would allow it, I want to go with you.  I
 want to see the princess' beliefs that moved you so."

Clarine
"?  Excuse me, have we met before?"

Narshen
"What!  You have forgotten me, of all people!?  That...must not be!"

*If you use Miledy*

Narshen
"You're Princess Guinevere's...  Ha!  So you betray your nation and turn to the
 enemy.  Disgraceful!"

Miledy
"My loyalty is with the princess.  And so it shall remain!"

*If you use Zeiss*

Narshen
"You..."

Zeiss
"General Narshen...  No, Narshen!  I heard everything from Sir Gale!  Do you
 not...have any honor left in you at all!"

Narshen
"Gale...!  Dammit, is he ever an eyesore!  Well, it shall be fine...  Once I
 get rid of you, everything will be shrouded in mystery..."

*If you use Cecilia*

Narshen
"You're...  So, being defeated once wasn't enough?"

Cecilia
"Zephiel was the one who defeated me.  Not you."

Narshen
"Then I shall show you my strength now!"

*If you use Percival*

Narshen
"Well, if it isn't General Percival, the traitor!"

Percival
"Joining you...was the biggest mistake of my life.  And now, I shall repent
 for it...by defeating you!"

Narshen
"No...No...!  I will not be defeated...!  Not by you...worthless...
 Gaaaaaaahhhhh!!"

*If Douglas survived*

Mordred (King of Etruria)
"So it is you...who rescued us?"

Roy
"My name is Roy, leader of the Lycia Alliance Army."

Mordred
"Hm..."

Roy
"......"

Mordred
"...I must ask you of something.  Those  soldiers who have been working with
 Bern have taken over the Tower of the Saint."

Roy
"The Tower of the Sain...  That is where Saint Elimine's altar lies."

Mordred
"Yes...  That is a national symbol of Etruria.  Please, recapture the tower."

Roy
"I will do what I can."

Mordred
"I am sorry.  You may use anything in the tower that you find useful."

*Mordred leaves*

Roy
"The king...  He still mourns the prince."

Merlinus
"He must have been an easy target for Bern."

Roy
"I want to help him...but how?"

*Roy and Merlinus leave.  Elphin appears*

Elphin
"Father...I am sorry.  When the time comes, I will return...for sure."

(to Ch 16 Gaiden)

*If Douglas was defeated*

Roy
"Princess Guinevere, I must speak with you."

Guinevere
"...Is it that we must attack Bern as well after Etruria?"

Roy
"!  Did someone inform you?"

Guinevere
"No.  ...But I knew that it would happen eventually."

Roy
"...We can not leave Bern running around freely any longer.  I am sure that it
 would be hard to see your nation being invaded, but..."

Guinevere
"...Roy, I will give this to you."

Roy
"What is this?"

Guinevere
"It is Bern's greatest treasure...the Fire Emblem."

Roy
"What!?"

Guinevere
"In the south of Bern lies a temple called the Cave of Seals.  In it lies the
 sword that our founder, Hartmut used."

Roy
"Is it...one of the Divine Weapons?"

Guinevere
"It is said to be so.  However, the sword was so immensely powerful because it
 was made to slay the 'Dark Dragon,' the leader of the Dragons during the
 Dragon Human wars.  Therefore, after the war, the sword was sealed in the
 cave.  The Fire Emblem is the key to open the door to it."

Roy
"The key..."

Guinevere
"My brother...is trying to force the world into submission with military
 strength.  That is something that is not forgivable, no matter what the
 reason."

Roy
"......"

Guinevere
"To stop him, all we can do is defeat the Dragons that are by his side."

Roy
"Princess Guinevere..."

Guinevere
"...My name shall be stained in history, as the one who betrayed her nation."

Roy
"No..."

Guinevere
"I shall be hated all my life as a traitor.  Roy, promise me one thing.  When
 we invade Bern, please do not harm the civilians..."

Roy
"I will not.  Please trust me."

Guinevere
"...Thank you."

*To Ch 17A or 17 B)

At this point, the game splits into two routes again for Chapters 17, 18, 19,
20, and 20 Gaiden.  Which route you take depends on the total experience

== On the World Map ==

At the request of King Mordred, Roy headed for the Tower of the Saint on the
outskirts of Aquleia.

The Tower of the Saint was a place of worship for Saint Elimine, one of the
Eight Heroes, and in the tower lay various holy objects relating to her.

However, this sacred tower was now under the control of Bishop Windam, who had
rebelled against the Elimine Church by Roartz's orders.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Windam (Boss, Bishop)
"Lord Roartz fled!?  Then what would happen to me, who turned against the
 Church and took over this tower?"

Soldier
"Sir, Lord Roartz's message is that he 'doesn't want to waste time dealing with
 useless bishops who cannot even tame the Elimine Church.'"

Windam
"That is because that damned Yodel got in my way..."

Soldier
"Well yes...  But even if you tell me about it..."

Windam
"...All right, fine...  Then this is our last mission.  If we are to die, then
 the Lycia Alliance Army is going down with us!  Prepare the 'Heavenly
 Arrows'!"

Soldier
"Please wait!  If we use that, it will hit our allies as well."

Windam
"Quiet!  I do the ordering around here!  ...I shall show them...hehehe...!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Douglas
"This is the Tower of the Saint.  Saint Elimine's weapon, the Aerial spell
 book, lies here."

Roy
"Thank you, Lord Douglas.  You are helping us, who were your enemies just a
 while earlier."

Douglas
"You do not have to thank me.  The king ordered me to help you.  Do not worry
 about it."

"Master Roy, I think we have found the spell book."

Roy
"Lord Douglas, is this...?"

Douglas
"Yes, this is it.  This is the 'Pinnacle of Light,' the Aerial spell book,
 Saint Elimine's weapon."

Roy
"May we use it?"

Douglas
"The king said to use anything in the tower that you find useful.  And the
 Elimine Church is on our side as well.  If we still have trouble, then I can
 negotiate."

Roy
"All right.  Thank you, Lord Douglas."

After Roy captured Aquleia, other Etrurian powers slowly began to change their
views and express their anti Coup d'etat opinions.  Driven away from their
palace, Roartz and Arcard fled to Sacae, which was still under Bern's control.

Sacae is the vast plain-covered land in the center of the continent.  Before
Bern invaded, the various tribes there led nomadic lives.

The Etrurian army joined the Lycia Alliance Army to form a joint Etruria-Lycia
Union Army.  The decision was to head for Sacae to get rid of the remaining
Coup d'etat forces and also attack Bern, who was behind them.

Thinking that some Etrurian knight groups would not approve of being seen as
under the Lycia Alliance Army, Roy officially named the new Union the "Etrurian
Army" and became its commander.

Roy led the division responsible for entering Sacae.  The Sacae people are wary
of outsiders in the first place, but even worse, Brenya, another of the Three
Dragon Lords, had gotten the largest tribe in Sacae, the Djute clan, under
submission.  The warriors of the Djute tribe and Brenya's elite Bern troops
stood in front of Roy as he set foot on Sacae's soil.


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Inside castle*

Brenya
"...So Narshen fell at Aquleia."

Soldier
"Yes.  It has been confirmed."

Brenya
"I see..."

*Roartz and Arcard appear*

Roartz
"L-Lady Brenya...  What will become of us?"

Brenya
"Please do not worry, Lord Roartz.  We will not neglect you, who have assisted
 us.  I shall assure that."

Arcard
"Thank you..."

Brenya
"Then, Lord Arcard, you will be assigned the defense of this land, Talas.
 Lord Roartz, your post will be the city of Bulgar."

Arcard
"Talas!?  W-Wait!  This is too close to Aquleia.  The enemy is already too
 close!"

Brenya
"Then what you must do is defeat them.  This is a good place to set up defenses
 because the enemy will most surely attack here because it is so close to the
 capitol.  We can be most prepared here."

Arcard
"Well, that's true..."

Roartz
"Bulgar...that is in the foreign lands of Sacae.  I hear that there is much
 rebellion among the nomads..."

Brenya
"Then force them into submission.  Is that not your specialty?"

Roartz
"Well..."

Brenya
"Rumors say that the enemy commander, Roy, is still a boy.  But still he has
 gone through many scandals and conspiracies and rebuilt the Lycia Alliance
 Army and has strengthened it further than ever.  Compared to his hardships,
 yours are close to nothing.  Am I wrong?"

Arcard
"......"

Brenya
"Then I must be off.  I will be praying for your success."

*Brenya leaves*

Roartz
"......"

*Roartz and Arcard leave*

Soldier
"...Are you sure?"

Brenya
"They are disgraceful cowards who cast away their homeland and fled to safety.
 We must not assist them any more than necessary.  They should be thankful that
 they are getting the land and troops that they are."

Soldier
"......"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Yodel
"We are soon approaching the Etrurian border."

Roy
"Bishop Yodel, I thank you for everything.  Thanks to the Church, we were able
 to proceed thus far with ease."

Yodel
"Please.  If you had not captured Aquleia, we would be suffering from
 prosecution under Bern.  This is nothing in comparison to what you did for
 us."

Roy
"I am glad that I could be of use to you."

Yodel
"Now...  May I ask you a very important favor?"

Roy
"Yes, anything that I am capable of."

Yodel
"If you find out anything else about the Dragons..."

Roy
"I understand.  If I discover anything new, I will report to you immediately."

Yodel
"Thank you!  ...Oh yes, I must tell you something else.  The lands around
 here...  They are surrounded by high mountains and valleys.  And it is night
 now..."

Roy
"The perfect place for ambush..."

Yodel
"Yes.  Castle Talas up ahead is under Bern's control."

Roy
"All right.  I will be careful."

Yodel
"Yes, please.  Then, may Saint Elimine bless the Etrurian Army!"


== Battle with Arcard ==

Arcard
"W-Why!  Why is this happening to me!?"

*If you use Klein*

Arcard
"Klein!  You would betray me?"

Klein
"You are the one who betrayed Etruria, Lord Arcard!"

*If you use Douglas*

Arcard
"D-Douglas!  You had turned to the enemy...!?"


== Defeating Arcard ==

Arcard
"I...am an Etrurian...noble!  I must not...die...here...  Guh!"


== After beating the map ==

Merlinus
"Lord Arcard...  What a pathetic ending for one who became so powerful."

Roy
"Well, last year I didn't think we would be doing this either.  Maybe fate can
 turn out in the most unlikely way...  And that might be true for Bern also."

Merlinus
"...?  Master Roy, what is that you are holding in your hand?"

Roy
"Oh, this?  This is the Fire Emblem."

Merlinus
"Oh...  So this tiny gem is..."

Roy
"Princess Guinevere wanted me to keep it.  It seemed...difficult for her to
 give it to me...  She must have been hoping to end the war peacefully until
 there was no hope left..."

Merlinus
"Hmm...  Trust between siblings?  It didn't seem likely on the outside."

Roy
"Why not?"

Merlinus
"The enemy is Zephiel, king of Bern!  It is said that he murdered his own
 father, so I didn't think that he would be moved by family trust..."

Roy
"What!?  He killed his own father?"

Merlinus
"Didn't you know, Master Roy?  Zephiel took the throne because the former king
 had died.  But because the former king's death had been so sudden, there are
 many rumors going around."

Roy
"And one of them is..."

Merlinus
"...That Zephiel assassinated him."

Roy
"...Does Princess Guinevere know about this?"

Merlinus
"She must know something about it, if not all."

Roy
"......"

                          Chapter 18A: The Law of Sacae
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

After defeating Arcard, Roy crossed the border and entered the land of Sacae.

After Bern invaded, the Djute clan, the most powerful clan in Sacae, became
its servant.  Most of those clans who stood up against the two joint forces
had already been decimated.  Although the "Silver Wolf" Dayan, the leader of
the Kutolah clan, has been retaliating with guerilla tactics, the situation
was dire.  Sacae had basically become a territory of Bern.

Now, as Roy set foot on the plains of Sacae, the warriors of the Djute clan
stood in his path.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Soldier
"The Etrurian army has appeared from the west."

Monke (Boss)
"Good.  Draw them into our territory as planned.  We shall show them our
 strength.  Have the other clans been notified?"

Soldier
"Yes.  Although there are many clans who are expressing their discontent
 toward our alliance with Bern, further invasion by Etrurian forces seem to
 require more attention."

Monke
"I see.  ...The Etrurian army should be easier to deal with than that 'Silver
 Wolf' since the Etrurian army is an invasion force."

Soldier
"The clans will unite to fight against invaders..."

Monke
"Yes.  That is the law of Sacae.  When we were up against the Silver Wolf, no
 one aided us because they saw it as conflict between clans."

Soldier
"But now we have Bern behind us, so we need not any help."

Monke
"Exactly.  Then of course, there are many who don't like the idea that it is
 Bern who has actual control of Sacae's politics."

Soldier
"Yes.  I hear that there are many clans who agree with the Silver Wolf's
 guerilla tactics and joined forces with him."

Monke
"He is stubborn.  His clan was defeated, so he should join us.  It is not as if
 he doesn't know what happens to those who try and fight a head-on battle with
 Bern."

Soldier
"Even large cities like Bulgar have been attacked and taken over by Bern since
 they resisted."

Monke
"From now on, those who are strong enough to manipulate the situation around
 them will survive, like us.  And right now, we must use the law of Sacae to do
 so."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"Princess Guinevere...  We are getting closer to Bern's army."

Guinevere
"...Yes."

Roy
"Since we are getting closer, we are clashing with soldiers from Bern more and
 more often.  It will not be long until we engage in full combat with Bern."

Guinevere
"......"

Roy
"I wish to ask you something before we do."

Guinevere
"What is that?"

Roy
"I have been hearing rumors...that King Zephiel rose to the throne because he
 killed his father, the former king."

Guinevere
"!"

Roy
"I could not believe it.  You tried to stop him even by casting away your
 nationality.  If King Zephiel is such a mad individual as the rumors say, then
 you would not have thought of doing what you did."

Guinevere
"......"

Roy
"Princess Guinevere, I accepted the Fire Emblem not to use it in battle, but to
 try and find a use for it to end this war peacefully."

Guinevere
"Roy..."

Roy
"Therefore, please tell me the truth about the rumors..."

Guinevere
"I...I'm sorry.  Please...give me some time."


== Battle with Monke ==

Monke
"Yes...  That's right!  Closer...closer...  Right into our trap!"

*If you use Sue*

Monke
"You are the Silver Wolf's granddaughter..."

Sue
"......"

*If you use Shin*

Monke
"...A survivor of the Kutolah clan?"

Shin
"Monke!  Feel the Kutolah's wrath!"


== Defeating Monke ==

Monke
"Argh...!  How could you defeat us...  My calculations...were...flawless..."


== After beating the map ==

Merlinus
"That was no easy feat."

Roy
"But now we have hit our strongest enemy in Sacae hard.  Although I'm sure
 that there are remaining forces somewhere..."

Merlinus
"They must be meeting to plan a retaliation."

Roy
"Can we find out where they are meeting?"

Merlinus
"Well, I sent out a spy earlier, so he should be returning soon.  I shall go
 check."

*Merlinus leaves.  Guinevere appears*

Guinevere
"......"

Roy
"Is something wrong, Princess Guinevere?"

Guinevere
"...I have come to speak about my brother."

Roy
"!  ...Is it all right?"

Guinevere
"Yes...  I want you to know before we enter Bern...about the tragedies that
 have occurred.  You asked earlier if my brother murdered the former king."

Roy
"Yes..."

Guinevere
"In short...it is true."

Roy
"!  Then King Zephiel indeed killed his own father to seize the throne..."

Guinevere
"No!"

Guinevere
"No?  He didn't kill his father to get the throne?"

Guinevere
"No...  Our father was the first one who tried to kill Zephiel."

Roy
"What!?  Then King Zephiel..."

Guinevere
"He...couldn't bear the abuse he was taking from our father.  And so he..."

Roy
"What...  Why did..."

*Merlinus appears*

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  We have found where the enemy is meeting!  ...?  What is the
 matter?"

Guinevere
"No...it is nothing.  Perhaps later..."

*Guinevere leaves*

Merlinus
"...Did I appear at a bad time?"

Roy
"No, it's okay.  Where is the meeting place?"

Merlinus
"It is in a city called Bulgar."

Roy
"Bulgar...I've heard of it."

Merlinus
"It is the largest city in Sacae.  Although, now it has been taken down by
 Bern."

Roy
"Oh...  All right, we'll be heading there soon."

*Merlinus leaves*

Roy
"...Why did the former king try to murder his own son...?"

                         Chapter 19A: Battle in Bulgar
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

After defeating the Djute tribe, Roy moved toward Bulgar, the largest city in
Sacae.

As a center of commerce between Etruria, Bern, and Ilia, Bulgar has had a
history of being free city without a ruler.  However, with Bern's invasion,
Advisor Roartz now had control of the city under Bern's protection.

Roy approached Bulgar to liberate it and to gain some useful information on
invading Bern.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Roartz
"They're here...!  And so quickly...  Could they not have given me the time
 to at least set up defenses!"

Kel (Boss)
"We will try and stop the enemy from progressing any further.  You can retreat
 to the palace and fortify your defenses there."

Roartz
"...Can you hold them back?"

Kel
"We must at least try."

Roartz
"If you do not know whether you can win or not..."

Kel
"Then what would you do?  Flee?  Tell me, just where do you think you can
 hide?"

Roartz
"......"

Kel
"General Brenya has given me orders to protect you.  And I will do so with all
 my strength.  But you must not be afraid to fight either!"

Roartz
"...  A-All right...  Then I shall fortify the inside and leave the outside to
 you."

*Roartz leaves.  A Soldier appears*

Soldier
"...That is the highest advisor of the Etrurian council?  Why should we fight
 for him at all?"

Kel
"Don't say that.  General Brenya didn't willingly tell us to protect him.  She
 had no choice because Etruria joined forces with Bern.  ...Therefore, we must
 fulfill our duties as warriors."

Soldier
"......"

Kel
"I have also gotten hold of information that allies of the Silver Wolf are
 lurking around here.  Keep on guard at all times."

Soldier
"Yes sir."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"Princess Guinevere."

Guinevere
"...We fight again today."

Roy
"Yes...  I am sorry that I cannot find the time to talk with you at leisure."

Guinevere
"No, it is all right.  ...My brother started this in the first place."

Roy
"Princess..."

Guinevere
"...Yes?"

Roy
"May I ask the reason why Bern's former king tried to murder King Zephiel?"

Guinevere
"...Zephiel and I have different mothers.  So I am in actuality his half
 sister."

Roy
"I heard that Zephiel's mother was the Etrurian princess."

Guinevere
"Yes.  It was an arranged marriage to strengthen the tie between Bern and
 Etruria.  However, our father already had a woman he loved at that time.  She
 is my mother."

Roy
"......"

Guinevere
"The marriage between our father and Zephiel's mother was forced.  Therefore,
 our father didn't love Zephiel's mother and so always thought badly of
 Zephiel."

Roy
"Then is that why the former king and King Zephiel had a bad relationship?"

Guinevere
"No...  Even then, Zephiel was always trying his best to gain our father's
 affection.  He excelled in his studies and military training and was always
 trying hard.  He grew to become a proud heir to Bern's throne."

Roy
"Then why did the king try to..."

Soldier from off-screen
"Master Roy!  We are ready for the attack!"

Roy
"All right, I'll be there in a minute!  Princess Guinevere, I am sorry, but..."

Guinevere
"No, it is all right.  Please be careful."

== 2nd Turn ==

*Focus on a house in the center of the map*

Niime (The old Druid woman)
"Well well...  So it has started."

Dayan (Nomadic Trooper with mustache)
"So it seems."

Man
"Just when we thought Bern had finished invading, now we have to deal with
 Etruria.  Sigh..."

Dayan
"......"

Niime
"Small wonder.  This is a large trading city.  Any army would want control of
 it.  Well then..."

Man
"H-Hey wait, where are you going?"

Niime
"I'm going to watch the fight.  Let us see how good that Roy is."

Man
"What, now?  But..."

Niime
"Don't you worry about me.  Everything will be fine."

*Niime and Dayan leave*

Man
"What?  Hey wait!  You're leaving too?"


== 7th Turn ==

Kel
"The reinforcements should be arriving soon...  I want you to open the front
 gate to let the reinforcements in when they arrive."

Soldier
"Yes sir."


== 12th Turn ==

Soldier
"All right, they should be here soon...  Open the gate!"

*The gate opens*


== 13th Turn ==

Kel
"Tell the troops to start attacking the guerilla forces hiding in the
 houses."

Soldier
"Yes sir."


== Battle with Kel ==

Kel
"I am Kel.  Behold my blade...as I swing it for the last time."


== Defeating Kel ==

Kel
"As a swordsman...this...is inevitable."


== After beating the map ==

*Inside castle*

Niime
"Hm.  You're not too bad, are you?"

Roy
"W-Who are you!?"

*A Soldier appears*

Soldier
"What the!?  Hey!  I said you couldn't come in.  Master Roy is very busy."

Roy
"What's the matter?"

Soldier
"Yes sir.  She kept pestering me that she wanted to see you.  But you were busy
 so I was trying to drive her away."

Niime
"Listen to me first.  Then you can decide whether you want to get rid of me or
 not.  I think I have information that you might be interested in."

Roy
"...What is that?"

Niime
"It is about the beasts who change form into humans."

Roy
"...I want to speak with her in private.  Can you leave the room?"

Soldier
"Yes sir."

*Soldier leaves*

Niime
"Well well, that got you interested, didn't it?"

Roy
"Those beasts you speak of..."

Niime
"Right.  Dragons."

Roy
"The Dragons you speak of...  They are not the wyverns that Bern's Dragon
 Knights use, but the strange troops that are mixed in with Bern's soldiers..."

Niime
"Exactly.  Those are the Dragons that were supposedly defeated in the Dragon
 Human Wars."

Roy
"...Who are you?"

Niime
"I am Niime.  I study ancient Dark Magic in the mountains, so some call me the
 Hermit on the Mountain.  This war...at first I thought it was just another
 battle so I didn't pay heed to it.  But now I can feel evil among Bern's
 troops, so I investigated."

Roy
"And did you find out anything?"

Niime
"The Dragons are indeed shrouded in mystery.  I looked through many ancient
 books and scrolls, but I could only decipher so many of them.  But..."

Roy
"...But?"

Niime
"I have come to believe that Bern has resurrected the Dark Dragon."

Roy
"Dark Dragon...  That is the leader of the Dragons that Hartmut defeated."

Niime
"Yes.  Dragons are simply a much more advanced species then us humans.  They
 have much greater vitality and intellect than us.  However, there was one
 thing that the Dragons lagged far behind the humans in.  The Dragons'
 reproductive system was much less efficient than that of the humans.  But even
 then, the Dark Dragon...it had the power to create more Dragons.  That is what
 I learned from my research."

Roy
"It can make more Dragons..."

Niime
"The Dark Dragon can create more of its kind.  That would explain where Bern
 is getting all of its Dragons."

Roy
"That is possible."

Niime
"Now, that being said...  I want to learn more about the Dragons.  Let me
 accompany your travels.  I wield Dark Magic...I'm sure I can be of some
 assistance."

Roy
"Of course.  We want to learn about the Dragons as well.  It may be dangerous,
 but it that's okay with you, you're welcome to join us."

*Niime joins*

                           Chapter 20A: The Silver Wolf
===============================================================================

== On the world map ==

After meeting Niime, the "Hermit on the Mountain," the mysteries of Bern's
Dragons were slowly beginning to unfold.

With more unknowns still needing verification, Roy directed his troops toward a
large manor on the outskirts of Bulgar.

There, Advisor Roartz of Etruria was preparing his defenses against Roy...


== Opening Cutscene ==

*Inside Castle*

Roartz
"They allowed them to get in to the palace!?  Blast!  If I am to go to Hell,
 then that Roy shall be going down with me!"

Soldier
"Lord Roartz!  The remainders of the Djute clan are saying that they will come
 to our aid once they have securely hidden the Mulgre."

Roartz
"Mulgre?  Ah, one of the Divine Weapons.  Good, we must hold our own until
 then!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"This is Roartz's manor..."

Niime
"I understand that this palace holds methods of attacking through little cracks
 in the framework.  You must not think you are safe just because your back is
 to the wall."

Roy
"Do you know much about this place?"

Niime
"Well, I am at least slightly known to know more things than most people.  The
 rumor about the palace is something I picked up back in the city."

Roy
"...Do you know what the Dark Dragon looks like?"

Niime
"Well, I can't say I'm absolutely sure about that.  But I would love to see it
 with my own eyes."

Roy
"I was thinking...  Maybe the Dark Dragon is in human form as well."

Niime
"Perhaps.  Maybe all the Dragons are in human form now.  I've also heard
 stories of Dragons in human form living with people."

Roy
"Nabata..."

Niime
"Hm?  Did you say something?"

Roy
"No, nothing."

Niime
"I don't know anything specific, but I have read in an ancient scroll that
 Dragons started taking human form only after the Ending Winter."

Roy
"The Ending Winter..."

Niime
"You have heard about it, have you not?"

Roy
"Yes, only in legend.  'At the Winder of Ends, the laws of nature were turned
 upside down.  Day became night, and summer became winter.'"

Niime
"That's it.  These scrolls are so old and damaged so I couldn't decipher all of
 them, but one thing is clear.  The Ending Winter was a disaster powerful
 enough to bend and twist the planet."

Roy
"What caused it?"

Niime
"Who knows...  Popular belief says that the laws of nature were twisted when
 the Dragons unleashed vast amounts of magical power, but I have no idea of
 what really happened either.  But it does seem certain that Dragons started
 taking human form after the Ending Winter.  It must be more than coincidence."

Roy
"Yes, I agree."

Niime
"Well either way, the truth lies in Bern."


== 3rd Turn ==

*Dayan appears from the south*

Dayan
"Good, the palace is in chaos.  I shall fight those Bern troops alone, to the
 death!"


== 25th Turn ==

*Thoril appears*

Thoril (Nomadic Trooper)
"Those pigs from Etruria...!  I shall avenge the Djute clan right here, right
 now!"


== Conversation (Roy, Dayan) ==

Dayan
"Are you the Etrurian General leading this group?"

Roy
"Yes.  And you are?"

Dayan
"I am Dayan."

Roy
"Dayan...?  I've heard it somewhere..."

Dayan
"I must first thank you.  My clan was always fighting against Bern and the
 clans that followed Bern.  We were forced to reside to guerilla warfare
 instead of going up against them face to face.  However, now that you have
 attacked Bern, the tables are beginning to tip in our favor."

Roy
"I see.  I am glad that I could help."

Dayan
"But I want to ask you one thing.  Once this battle is over, do you intend to
 withdraw your troops right away?"

Roy
"After this battle?"

Dayan
"Yes.  Sacae belongs to us Sacaean people.  If authoritarian rule by Bern is
 only to be replaced by Etrurian rule, then we would have to fight you next."

Roy
"Right after this battle...  That would not be possible.  We must have Sacae as
 a base to launch direct attacks on Bern."

Dayan
"What...  Directly into Bern's lands?"

Roy
"Even if we could drive off Bern now, it would only be a matter of time until
 they strike back at us.  We must destroy their roots.  Right?"

Dayan
"Yes, you are right.  I see...in that case, I shall aid you."

Roy
"That would help us tremendously."

Dayan
"But once Bern is defeated, you must withdraw your troops from Sacae.  Is that
 all right with you?"

Roy
"Of course.  You have my word."


== Battle with Roartz ==

Roartz
"S-Someone!  Come and defend me!  It is all over if I am hurt!"

*If you use Douglas*

Roartz
"Douglas...  Hmph!  After all that you said, you too are following those with
 power!"

Douglas
"Perhaps it may seem that way from the outside.  But there is no hesitation in
 my heart now."

Roartz
"Silence!  I have just about had enough of you.  Die here!"


== Defeating Roartz ==

Roartz
"W-Wait...  Be my servant!  It is still not too late...  I shall...forgive your
 crime of turning your blade...toward me...  Guh...!"


== After beating the map ==

*If you finished in 25 turns or less*

Roy
"Next is Bern..."

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  We have reports that the remainders of the Djute clan are hiding
 in some ruins near here."

Roy
"Ruins?"

Merlinus
"Yes.  And we also have a captive who says that a bow used during the Dragon
 Human Wars."

Roy
"What?  Then..."

Merlinus
"It's highly possible that it is a Divine Weapon."

Roy
"We must get to those ruins!  Let's go!"

(To Chapter 20A Gaiden)

*If you finished in more than 25 turns)

Roy
"Merlinus, I need you to send this letter to Bishop Yodel in Etruria."

Merlinus
"A letter?  May I ask what it says?"

Roy
"It's the story we heard from Niime about the Dragons."

Merlinus
"Oh?  What did you discuss with her about the Dragons?"

Roy
"It'll get long if I tell you.  I haven't sealed the letter yet so you can look
 through it if you want."

Merlinus
"All right.  Let me see..."

*Merlinus leaves.  Guinevere appears*

Guinevere
"...Roy."

Roy
"Princess, is something wrong?"

Guinevere
"...We enter Bern now."

Roy
"Yes.  We will attack Bern very soon.  So...may I ask the rest of the story
 now...?"

Guinevere
"...Yes.  That is why I came to you."

Roy
"King Zephiel was an outstanding pupil is his studies, he was skilled in
 warcraft...  He grew to be the perfect heir for the king."

Guinevere
"That is correct."

Roy
"But still the former king did not look kindly at him."

Guinevere
"In fact...  Our father began to hate Zephiel because he grew to become such a
 brilliant and worthy youth."

Roy
"What...is that supposed to mean...?"

Guinevere
"Our father was a man of ordinary skill and intellect.  Therefore, Zephiel's
 outstanding skill made our father cold towards him."

Roy
"Jealousy...?"

Guinevere
"And then one day, our father told Zephiel that 'the next heir to Bern would be
 Guinevere's husband.'"

Roy
"What!  That's awful!"

Guinevere
"But Zephiel was very patient.  He said that he did not mind even if he did not
 gain the throne.  But the people around us, who were looking forward to
 Zephiel's ability to be a good king, would not allow anyone else to be the
 heir.  Pressured by the public, our father lost his patience at last, and..."

Roy
"Decided to kill King Zephiel...?"

Guinevere
"At a banquet, our father gave Zephiel a poisoned drink from his own hands.
 And that was the first and last cup that Zephiel took from our father.  After
 returning to his room, Zephiel started to get sick.  For 10 days and nights,
 Zephiel lingered between life and death.  But Murdock, Zephiel's teacher and
 loyal general, saved his life."

Roy
"...The former king never did anything after that?"

Guinevere
"No...  But I have heard that he had plans to get rid of Murdock and Zephiel's
 mother as traitors.  He was scheming to murder them all along with Zephiel.
 After hearing that, Zephiel made believe that he was dead.  Our father then
 checked the coffin to confirm Zephiel's death.  At that moment, Zephiel rose
 up from the coffin and...with his sword..."

Roy
"......"

"So I...  At the bottom of my heart, I trust that Zephiel can change, that he

 Please stop him.  Please stop him from inflicting pain and suffering to the
 people of Bern and the people of the other nations."

"Even if it may resolve to the blade?"

Guinevere

"I see.  You have my word and loyalty, Princess Guinevere.  I swear to the Fire
 Emblem that I will stop King Zephiel!"

Roy headed towards the ruins in Sacae, after the Divine Weapon.

However, the remaining forces of the Djute clan were waiting for Roy in the
ruins...

== Opening Cutscene ==

Soldier
"The Etrurian Army is here!"

Thoril (Boss)
"They want to make here theirs as well...  We will not let that happen.  Tell
 our brothers that we will defend this land till the death.  We will avenge our
 dead comrades!"

Soldier
"Yes!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"The Divine Weapon lies here...  Shin, do you know about this place?"

Shin
"All I know is that the Divine Warrior Hanon's bow, the Mulgre or the 'Bow of
 the Winds' is kept here."

Roy
"Hanon...  She and Saint Elimine were the only two women among the Eight
 Heroes."

Shin
"So it seems.  ...Watch your back.  The Djute will give us everything they've
 got to avenge their clansmen."

Roy
"All right, we have to be careful.  Let's go!"

Soldier
"It's here!  The bow is hidden in the altar!"

Roy
"This is the Mulgre...  It looks like an ordinary bow, but it must have
 incredible force."

Merlinus
"Master Roy, Bern's troops are retreating."

Roy
"Oh.  All right."

Merlinus
"All right?  We must attack them now."

Roy
"No, don't.  They are fleeing.  They don't have any more will to fight."

Merlinus
"But..."

Roy
"They have families as well.  There's no need to fight more than necessary."

*Obtained Mulgre*

*Scene switches to outside*

Roy
"Merlinus, I need you to send this letter to Bishop Yodel in Etruria."

Merlinus
"A letter?  May I ask what it says?"

Roy
"It's the story we heard from Niime about the Dragons."

Merlinus
"Oh?  What did you discuss with her about the Dragons?"

Roy
"It'll get long if I tell you.  I haven't sealed the letter yet so you can look
 through it if you want."

Merlinus
"All right.  Let me see..."

*Merlinus leaves.  Guinevere appears*

Guinevere
"...Roy."

Roy
"Princess, is something wrong?"

Guinevere
"...We enter Bern now."

Roy
"Yes.  We will attack Bern very soon.  So...may I ask the rest of the story
 now...?"

Guinevere
"...Yes.  That is why I came to you."

Roy
"King Zephiel was an outstanding pupil is his studies, he was skilled in
 warcraft...  He grew to be the perfect heir for the king."

Guinevere
"That is correct."

Roy
"But still the former king did not look kindly at him."

Guinevere
"In fact...  Our father began to hate Zephiel because he grew to become such a
 brilliant and worthy youth."

Roy
"What...is that supposed to mean...?"

Guinevere
"Our father was a man of ordinary skill and intellect.  Therefore, Zephiel's
 outstanding skill made our father cold towards him."

Roy
"Jealousy...?"

Guinevere
"And then one day, our father told Zephiel that next heir to Bern would be
 Guinevere's husband."

Roy
"What!  That's awful!"

Guinevere
"But Zephiel was very patient.  He said that he did not mind even if he did not
 gain the throne.  But the people around us, who were looking forward to
 Zephiel's ability to be a good king, would not allow anyone else to be the
 heir.  Pressured by the public, our father lost his patience at last, and..."

Roy
"Decided to kill King Zephiel...?"

Guinevere
"At a banquet, our father gave Zephiel a poisoned drink from his own hands.
 And that was the first and last cup that Zephiel took from our father.  After
 returning to his room, Zephiel started to get sick.  For 10 days and nights,
 Zephiel lingered between life and death.  But Murdock, Zephiel's teacher and
 loyal general, saved his life."

Roy
"...The former king never did anything after that?"

Guinevere
"No...  But I have heard that he had plans to get rid of Murdock and Zephiel's
 mother as traitors.  He was scheming to murder them all along with Zephiel.
 After hearing that, Zephiel made believe that he was dead.  Our father then
 checked the coffin to confirm Zephiel's death.  At that moment, Zephiel rose
 up from the coffin and...with his sword..."

Roy
"......"

Guinevere
"I was but a child then, so naturally I could not have understood what was
 going on.  All I knew is that after our father died, Zephiel never smiled
 again.  Until then, he was strict at times, but he was always a kind and

                    Chapter 17B: The Path Through the Ocean
===============================================================================

== On the world map ==

After Roy captured Aquleia, other Etrurian forces flocked to Anti-Coup d'etat
group, forcing out the Coup d'etat militia.  Roartz and Arcard were driven out
of Etruria and fled north to Ilia, which was under Bern's control.

Ilia, or the Frozen Highlands, is a land with short summers and long winters.
With little arable land, the nation's main source of income was sending out
mercenaries to fight for pay.

The now free Kingdom of Etruria joined its forces with the Lycia Alliance Army.
Now a joint force under the name of the Etrurian Army, their first mission was
to enter Ilia to finish off the Coup d'etat forces.  After that, they would
launch direct attacks on Bern.  Roy, nominated as leader of the Etrurian Army,
had the powerful support of the Elimine Church, getting the people on his side.

However, Roy had to face the freezing cold of Ilia as well as the elite troops
under General Murdock, the leader of the Three Dragon Lords.  In addition, some
of the powerful Ilian knights had turned to Bern's side.

As a start, Roy headed for Castle Raemy, located on the Ilian border.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Murdock
"So, Narshen has fallen."

Gale
"Yes.  Lord Murdock, did we really not have to aid him?"

Murdock
"Those were the king's orders.  Besides, the Bern army has no use for a man who
 cannot clean up his own messes."

*Arcard and Roartz appear*

Roartz
"Lord Murdock...  What will become of us?"

Murdock
"Lord Arcard, I will entrust this land of Raemy to you.  Lord Roartz, I will
 have you take the land of Edessa.  Please make preparations to retaliate."

Arcard
"What!?  Raemy is right on the border!  The enemy will arrive in no time!"

Murdock
"True.  But this position also allows us to easily launch attacks on Etruria.
 Make sure this castle does not fall."

Roartz
"Edessa...  It is in the outer wastelands of Ilia..."

Murdock
"You would have plenty of time to prepare your defenses, would you not?"

Arcard
"...You...could not take back Etruria for us?"

Murdock
"It is possible.  But when we win, Etruria would go under Bern's rule."

Roartz
"No!  That will not do."

Murdock
"Then I suggest that you find a way to deal with the situation yourself.
 Excuse us."

*Murdock and Gale leave*

Roartz
"......"

*Scene switches to outside*

Gale
"My Lord, were we supposed to dispose of those two like that?"

Murdock
"Don't worry.  Bern's code says that every individual must be able to deal with
 his own consequences.  ...The enemy leader, was his name Roy?"

Gale
"Yes."

Murdock
"I must admit, he has done a superb job of rebuilding the Alliance Army even
 after we crushed it so...  If I have the chance, I would like to have the
 honor of fighting him one on one."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Yodel
"We are soon approaching the Etrurian border."

Roy
"Bishop Yodel, I thank you for everything.  Thanks to the Church, we were able
 to proceed thus far with ease."

Yodel
"Please.  If you had not captured Aquleia, we would be suffering from
 prosecution under Bern.  This is nothing in comparison to what you did for
 us."

Roy
"I am glad that I could be of use to you."

Yodel
"Now...  May I ask you a very important favor?"

Roy
"Yes, anything that I am capable of."

Yodel
"If you find out anything else about the Dragons..."

Roy
"I understand.  If I discover anything new, I will report to you immediately."

Yodel
"Thank you!  ...Oh yes, I must tell you something else.  At a certain time of
 the day, the sea level drops, exposing a sand bar that can be crossed."

Roy
"A sand bar?"

Yodel
"Yes.  If you were to go all the way around to attack the castle, it would take
 much time.  However, if the sand bar were to be crossed, it would not take as
 long."

Roy
"I see."

Yodel
"But please be careful.  Rushing is not always the best tactic to win a war."

Roy
"Yes.  Thank you for your advice."

Yodel
"Of course.  Then, may Saint Elimine bless the Etrurian Army!"


== 6th Turn ==

*A path of sand appears in the water*

Soldier
"Lord Arcard!  A path has appeared in the sea!"

Arcard
"What!?"

Soldier
"Well...according to the locals, the tide pulls out at this time of day..."

Arcard
"What!  You didn't know about this!?"

Soldier
"But sir, we are not from these parts!  We are not familiar with the geography
 of this land!"

Arcard
"Damn!  Charge!  Prevent the enemy from crossing that path!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Merlinus
"Master Roy, we have a report."

Roy
"Did the path in the sea appear?"

Merlinus
"Yes.  Bishop Yodel was right."

Roy
"Did the enemy know about this?"

Merlinus
"Actually, they seem to be a panicked state."

Roy
"All right, then let's not miss this chance!  Charge!"


== Battle with Arcard ==

Arcard
"W-Why!  Why is this happening to me!?"

*If you use Klein*

Arcard
"Klein!  You would betray me?"

Klein
"You are the one who betrayed Etruria, Lord Arcard!"

*If you use Douglas*

Arcard
"D-Douglas!  You had turned to the enemy...!?"


== Defeating Arcard ==

Arcard
"I...am an Etrurian...noble!  I must not...die...here...  Guh!"


== After beating the map ==

Merlinus
"Lord Arcard...  What a pathetic ending for one who became so powerful."

Roy
"Well, last year I didn't think we would be doing this either.  Maybe fate can
 turn out in the most unlikely way...  And that might be true for Bern also."

Merlinus
"...?  Master Roy, what is that you are holding in your hand?"

Roy
"Oh, this?  This is the Fire Emblem."

Merlinus
"Oh...  So this tiny gem is..."

Roy
"Princess Guinevere wanted me to keep it.  It seemed...difficult for her to
 give it to me...  She must have been hoping to end the war peacefully until
 there was no hope left..."

Merlinus
"Hmm...  Trust between siblings?  It didn't seem likely on the outside."

Roy
"Why not?"

Merlinus
"The enemy is Zephiel, king of Bern!  It is said that he murdered his own
 father, so I didn't think that he would be moved by family trust..."

Roy
"What!?  He killed his own father?"

Merlinus
"Didn't you know, Master Roy?  Zephiel took the throne because the former king
 had died.  But because the former king's death had been so sudden, there are
 many rumors going around."

Roy
"And one of them is..."

Merlinus
"...That Zephiel assassinated him."

Roy
"...Does Princess Guinevere know about this?"

Merlinus
"She must know something about it, if not all."

Roy
"......"

===============================================================================

== On the world map ==

After defeating Arcard, Roy moved east deep into the frozen lands of Ilia.

Soon, they entered the thick forests that characterize Ilia's central land.
However, a general of Bern, Bishop Martel, was waiting for them with an ancient
spell that was said to have been lost centuries ago...


== Opening Cutscene ==

Soldier
"Bishop Martel!  We have brought the lady Niime, as you asked."

Martel (Boss, Bishop)
"Good.  Let her pass."

*Niime appears*

Niime
"What do you want from me?"

Martel
"Are you Niime, the Hermit on the Mountain?"

Niime
"So, some have begun calling me that, have they?  Then I must be that Niime."

Martel
"I hear that you are capable of using the ancient spell book that we found
 in this castle."

Niime
"I should be able to.  I have been studying the dark arts and ancient magic for
 centuries now."

Martel
"I understand that this spell can change the climate and weather around the
 caster..."

Niime
"It wouldn't be entirely improbable."

Martel
"Then I order you.  Use the spell book and create rainfall.  Make it rain so
 that the rivers will overflow and push back the Etrurian Army that is
 advancing on us."

Niime
"Well I can try, but frankly I can't guarantee that it would work.  Also,
 powerful spells like these can only be cast once.  Are you sure?"

Martel
"Silence!  All you must do is follow my commands.  You were the one who came to
 us and said you wished to join our forces.  Then make yourself useful."

Niime
"......"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"Princess Guinevere...  We are getting closer to Bern's army."

Guinevere
"...Yes."

Roy
"Since we are getting closer, we are clashing with soldiers from Bern more and
 more often.  It will not be long until we engage in full combat with Bern."

Guinevere
"......"

Roy
"I wish to ask you something before we do."

Guinevere
"What is that?"

Roy
"I have been hearing rumors...that King Zephiel rose to the throne because he
 killed his father, the former king."

Guinevere
"!"

Roy
"I could not believe it.  You tried to stop him even by casting away your
 nationality.  If King Zephiel is such a mad individual as the rumors say, then
 you would not have thought of doing what you did."

Guinevere
"......"

Roy
"Princess Guinevere, I accepted the Fire Emblem not to use it in battle, but to
 try and find a use for it to end this war peacefully."

Guinevere
"Roy..."

Roy
"Therefore, please tell me the truth about the rumors..."

Guinevere
"I...I'm sorry.  Please...give me some time."

*Guinevere leaves*

Roy
"Princess!"

*Merlinus appears*

Merlinus
"...What is the matter?  Princess Guinevere was running off..."

Roy
"...No, it's nothing.  Did you want something?"

Merlinus
"Yes, I have gathered some more information.  We may have some trouble with
 this battle.  A powerful dark magician by the name of Niime resides in the
 enemy ranks."

Roy
"Dark magician...  A Druid, probably."

Merlinus
"She is apparently extremely learned in ancient sorcery.  She has much more
 knowledge than any scholar could dream about."

Roy
"But we can't pull back now."

Merlinus
"Yes, but we can always be careful."

Roy
"I know.  We must be wary."


== 7th Turn ==

Martel
"Is the spell ready?  Niime!"

Niime
"...I'm warning you for the last time.  I really have no idea what will
 happen..."

Martel
"Just shut up and cast the spell!"

Niime
"Sigh...  All right..."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Merlinus
"W-What is going on...?

Roy
"An enemy spellcaster?  Everyone, watch out!"

*Niime casts the spell.  All the rivers on the map freeze over, allowing all
 units to cross without movement penalty*

*Scene switches to Martel*

Martel
"What...  What is this!?  The rivers...  The rivers have frozen over!"

Niime
"My, my...  Now isn't this a surprise..."

Martel
"!!  You!  You did this on purpose!"

Niime
"What are you talking about...  I warned you that I couldn't predict what would
 happen."

Martel
"Quiet!  Someone!  Throw her into the dungeon!"

Soldier
"Yes sir."

Niime
"Sigh..."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"What...happened?"

Merlinus
"Master Roy, we have a report.  The rivers have apparently frozen over."

Roy
"What?"

Merlinus
"The ice is so thick that knights on horseback can cross them with safety."

Roy
"Oh...  Well, good, we can advance more quickly now.  Charge toward the castle
 gate!"


== Battle with Martel ==

Martel
"Blast!  How could you have traversed through this snow...  Curse that useless
 hag!"


== Defeating Martel ==

Martel
"No...  I, one of the most intelligent of the generals...can die...?"


== After beating the map ==

*Inside castle*

Niime
"Finally I have been released from the clutches of Bern."

Roy
"You are?"

Niime
"I am Niime.  I live in the mountains to study arcane magic."

Roy
"You say you were released.  Did you not join Bern out of your own will?"

Niime
"Well I did, but it was only a guise.  Bern's army had something that I wanted
 to study."

Roy
"What is that?"

Niime
"The Dragons."

Roy
"!!"

Niime
"Well well, that got you interested, didn't it?"

Roy
"The Dragons you speak of...  They are not the wyverns that Bern's Dragon
 Knights use, but the strange troops that are mixed in with Bern's soldiers..."

Niime
"Exactly.  Those are the Dragons that were supposedly defeated in the Dragon
 Human Wars."

Roy
"Why do you know this...?"

Niime
"I thought that this was only another war that Bern started at first.  But then
 I began to see strange...evil things among their troops.  So I decided to
 investigate."

Roy
"And did you find out anything?"

Niime
"The Dragons are indeed shrouded in mystery.  I looked through many ancient
 books and scrolls, but I could only decipher so many of them.  But..."

Roy
"...But?"

Niime
"I have come to believe that Bern has resurrected the Dark Dragon."

Roy
"Dark Dragon...  That is the leader of the Dragons that Hartmut defeated."

Niime
"Yes.  Dragons are simply a much more advanced species then us humans.  They
 have much greater vitality and intellect than us.  However, there was one
 thing that the Dragons lagged far behind the humans in.  The Dragons'
 reproductive system was much less efficient than that of the humans.  But even
 then, the Dark Dragon...it had the power to create more Dragons.  That is what
 I learned from my research."

Roy
"It can make more Dragons..."

Niime
"The Dark Dragon can create more of its kind.  That would explain where Bern
 is getting all of its Dragons."

Roy
"That is possible."

Niime
"Now, that being said...  I want to learn more about the Dragons.  Let me
 accompany your travels.  I wield Dark Magic...I'm sure I can be of some
 assistance."

Roy
"Of course.  We want to learn about the Dragons as well.  It may be dangerous,
 but it that's okay with you, you're welcome to join us."

===============================================================================

== On the world map ==

After defeating Martel and making it through the forest, Roy and company faced
the blizzards that are common of Ilia's winters.

Ilia's harsh weather has been a natural defense in itself against invaders.
Coupled with Ilia's greatest natural weapon, Sigune, captain of the Pegasus
Knight squad that had turned to Bern, was preparing to attack Roy.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Soldier
"Captain!  The enemy has arrived.  They are on the other side of the mountain."

Sigune (Boss, Falcon Knight)
"So, they've arrived.  ...It starts."

Soldier
"Captain, are you sure?"

Sigune
"About what?"

Soldier
"The Etrurian Army is saying that would liberate us from Bern.  In that case,
 we could gain independence..."

Sigune
"Do you really believe what they say?  What idiot would fight a war for the
 sake of others?  Once they defeat Bern, they would station themselves as the
 next dictator."

Soldier
"Well..."

Sigune
"Then it's better to be with Bern.  They're better at warfare."

Soldier
"......"

Sigune
"Come now, we have more immediate problems.  We've got to get rid of the enemy
 that's right in front of us first.  Are the ballistas ready?"

Soldier
"Yes.  The archers are all at their stations."

Sigune
"Good!  Shoot at them from a distance...  They'll be floundering around in the
 dark in this powerful blizzard.  Observe nature's wrath..."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"Such strong wind and hail...  I can't see 3 meters in front of me."

Niime
"Ilia's winters are always like this.  Well, you can't complain, if you're
 fighting a battle in winter."

Roy
"We must attack now so that Bern doesn't have the time to recover."

Niime
"That's true.  It would be a disaster if the Dark Dragon was really brought
 back to this world."

Roy
"I was thinking...  Maybe the Dark Dragon is in human form as well."

Niime
"Perhaps.  Maybe all the Dragons are in human form now.  I've also heard
 stories of Dragons in human form living with people."

Roy
"Nabata..."

Niime
"Hm?  Did you say something?"

Roy
"No, nothing."

Niime
"I don't know anything specific, but I have read in an ancient scroll that
 Dragons started taking human form only after the Ending Winter."

Roy
"The Ending Winter..."

Niime
"You have heard about it, have you not?"

Roy
"Yes, only in legend.  'At the Winder of Ends, the laws of nature were turned
 upside down.  Day became night, and summer became winter.'"

Niime
"That's it.  These scrolls are so old and damaged so I couldn't decipher all of
 them, but one thing is clear.  The Ending Winter was a disaster powerful
 enough to bend and twist the planet."

Roy
"What caused it?"

Niime
"Who knows...  Popular belief says that the laws of nature were twisted when
 the Dragons unleashed vast amounts of magical power, but I have no idea of
 what really happened either.  But it does seem certain that Dragons started
 taking human form after the Ending Winter.  It must be more than coincidence."

Roy
"Yes, I agree."

Niime
"Well either way, the truth lies in Bern."


== 13th Turn ==

Soldier
"Captain!  Other Pegasus Knight squads are headed this way to assist us!"

Sigune
"Really?  That would help.  Too bad for the enemy...  They'll be in a panic if
 they suddenly get attacked from all directions when they can't see in this
 snowstorm..."


== Battle with Sigune ==

Sigune
"So...you made it through this blizzard and cold?  Congratulations.  But it's
 over.  You shall end...right here, right now."

*If you use Thany*

Sigune
"You...  You're Yuno's youngest sister.  You would fight me?"

Thany
"......"

Sigune
"By the honor of an Ilian knight...  I won't go easy on you.  All right?"

Thany
"Yes..."

*If you use Thito*

Sigune
"Thito?  What are you doing here?  Oh...you've joined the Etrurian side."

Thito
"Captain Sigune..."

Sigune
"You know the Ilian knightly code.  I won't go easy on you."


== Defeating Sigune ==

Sigune
"...Well, well...  So I'm the one...to die...  But maybe...I was already dead...
 a long time...ago..."


== After beating the map ==

Roy
"Merlinus, I need you to send this letter to Bishop Yodel in Etruria."

Merlinus
"A letter?  May I ask what it says?"

Roy
"It's the story we heard from Niime about the Dragons."

Merlinus
"Oh?  What did you discuss with her about the Dragons?"

Roy
"It'll get long if I tell you.  I haven't sealed the letter yet so you can look
 through it if you want."

Merlinus
"All right.  Let me see..."

*Merlinus leaves.  Guinevere appears*

Guinevere
"......"

Roy
"Is something wrong, Princess Guinevere?"

Guinevere
"...I have come to speak about my brother."

Roy
"!  ...Is it all right?"

Guinevere
"Yes...  I want you to know before we enter Bern...about the tragedies that
 have occurred.  You asked earlier if my brother murdered the former king."

Roy
"Yes..."

Guinevere
"In short...it is true."

Roy
"!  Then King Zephiel indeed killed his own father to seize the throne..."

Guinevere
"No!"

Guinevere
"No?  He didn't kill his father to get the throne?"

Guinevere
"No...  Our father was the first one who tried to kill Zephiel."

Roy
"What!?  Then King Zephiel..."

Guinevere
"He...couldn't bear the abuse he was taking from our father.  And so he..."

Roy
"What...  Why did..."

"The Dragons are indeed are mysterious species...  Hm?  What is the matter?"

"No...it is nothing.  Perhaps later..."

After defeating Sigune, Roy headed for Edessa, located in the southeast of
Ilia.  Castle Edessa, owned by Zealot, leader of the Ilian Mercenary Knights,
once served as the headquarters of the Pegasus Knight teams as well.  However,
with Zealot gone, Bern saw its chance and attacked the castle, seizing it and
forcing the Mercenary and Pegasus Knights into submission.

Castle Edessa was Murdock's headquarters, but since Murdock had returned to
Bern, Roartz was put in charge.  Alarmed by the Etrurian Army's speed in
advancing on to Edessa, Roartz hurriedly contacted the various Ilian knight
groups asking them for aid.  However, their replies were not promising.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Roartz
"Well?  Have we got enough troops?"

Soldier
"Well...  We are requesting aid from Ilia's knights, but all of them except
 those that have been given direct orders from Lord Murdock are hesitant to
 help us."

Roartz
"Damn!  How could this happen...  ...Ah, we had captured Zealot's wife and his
 family.  How about Zealot's group?  Have they responded?"

Soldier
"No...  They have been traveling all over the continent as mercenary knights,
 so we do not even know their exact location."

Roartz
"Damn..."

Soldier
"Ever since Sigune's group was defeated, all of Ilia's militia have been
 reluctant to attack the Etrurian Army."

Roartz
"Blast!  Everyone, everyone is such a coward!  They would have me, advisor to
 the Etrurian Court, die in a place like this!?"

*Scene switches to Yuno in prison cell*

Old Woman
"Cough cough..."

Yuno (Falcon Knight with purple hair)
"Are you all right?  Here, take my shawl."

Old Woman
"N-No, then you would be cold..."

Yuno
"It's all right, I'm used to the cold.  It's far better than flying through the
 blizzards on a pegasus."

Old Woman
"...Thank you.  Cough cough..."

Girl
"Lady Yuno...  What will become of us?"

Yuno
"...I don't know.  But we must have hope.  Perhaps the enemy might leave, or
 perhaps Zealot might return.  We must have hope."

Girl
"...Where is Lord Zealot now?"

Yuno
"In his last letter he said that he would be joining the Lycia Alliance Army,
 but after that...  Well, he could be closer that we think he is."

Girl
"I hope you're right."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Guinevere
"...We fight again today."

Roy
"Yes.  When we take this castle, we can use it as a base to launch attacks on
 Bern."

Guinevere
"...Yes."

Roy
"Princess...  May I ask the reason why Bern's former king tried to murder King
 Zephiel?"

Guinevere
"...Zephiel and I have different mothers.  So I am in actuality his half
 sister."

Roy
"I heard that Zephiel's mother was the Etrurian princess."

Guinevere
"Yes.  It was an arranged marriage to strengthen the tie between Bern and
 Etruria.  However, our father already had a woman he loved at that time.  She
 is my mother."

Roy
"......"

Guinevere
"The marriage between our father and Zephiel's mother was forced.  Therefore,
 our father didn't love Zephiel's mother and so always thought badly of
 Zephiel."

Roy
"Then is that why the former king and King Zephiel had a bad relationship?"

Guinevere
"No...  Even then, Zephiel was always trying his best to gain our father's
 affection.  He excelled in his studies and military training and was always
 trying hard.  He grew to become a proud heir to Bern's throne."

Roy
"Then why did the king try to..."

Soldier from off-screen
"Master Roy!  We are ready for the attack!"

Roy
"All right, I'll be there in a minute!  Princess Guinevere, I am sorry, but..."

Guinevere
"No, it is all right.  Please be careful."


== 26th Turn ==

Roy
"The blizzard is picking up...  This might take longer than we expected.  We
 should head for Bern as soon as we take the castle."

(Note: Once you see this scene, you won't be able to go to Ch 20B Gaiden.)


== Conversation (Zealot, Yuno) ==

Zealot
"Yuno!"

Yuno
"Zealot!"

Zealot
"Are you all right?  You're not hurt?  They didn't do anything terrible to
 you?"

Yuno
"Oh Zealot, I am no child.  I am the ex-captain of the Pegasus Knight Fleet,
 you know."

Zealot
"That's true, but..."

Yuno
"I'm all right.  I'm not hurt or anything."

Zealot
"Good..."

Yuno
"Why are you in the Etrurian Army?  I thought you were with the Lycia
 Alliance."

Zealot
"Well, it's a long story...  Anyway, this is the Etrurian Army only by name.
 It is actually made up of troops from the Lycia Alliance Army."

Yuno
"Oh...  I see."

Zealot
"I'm sorry.  I couldn't be at the castle when I was needed the most..."

Yuno
"There is no point in dwelling on the past."

Zealot
"But you had to go out and fight..."

Yuno
"Oh?  Don't you like my Fleet Captain outfit?"

Zealot
"Of course!  But..."

Yuno
"Then there is no problem.  You'll be seeing a lot of it from now on."

Zealot
"What!  Do you mean..."

Yuno
"Yes.  I will fight alongside you as well."

Zealot
"No!  No no no.  You retired long ago.  So just leave the fighting to us..."

Yuno
"Even after I retired, I had to fight anyway.  Zealot, there is no safe place
 in the world any more."

Zealot
"Well..."

Yuno
"So I will fight, so I can help bring a time of peace all the more quickly."

*Yuno joins*


== Conversation (Thito, Yuno) ==

Thito
"Yuno!"

Yuno
"Thito...  What are you doing here?"

Thito
"It's a long story...  But anyway, I'm with the Etrurian Army now.  I heard
 Edessa had fallen to Bern, and I was worried, but...  I'm glad to see you're
 all right."

Yuno
"...I thought you were originally fighting for the army that was fighting
 against this Etrurian Army.  You didn't..."

Thito
"No!  I didn't go against the Ilian Mercenary code.  I fulfilled my duties as
 a mercenary and then joined the Etrurian Army."

Yuno
"Of course...  You're a good and diligent girl.  You wouldn't do something like
 that.  I'm sorry."

Thito
"No, it's all right...  And um...  What are you wearing?"

Yuno
"This?  Why, this is my military outfit, as you very well know.  Well, what do
 you think?  Don't you think I can still go on as Pegasus Knight Fleet
 Captain?"

Thito
"But I thought you retired."

Yuno
"I can't be saying that in this time of emergency!  On my own all I could do
 was rescue the people in the castle, but if I joined you, I could fight
 against Bern as well."

Thito
"So you're going to fight alongside us?"

Yuno
"Yes."

Thito
"Yes!  I never thought I could fight alongside you again."

Yuno
"Don't get cocky now.  I haven't gotten too rusty yet either!"

*Yuno joins*


== Conversation (Thany, Yuno) ==

Thany
"Big Sister Yuno!"

Yuno
"Thany?  Why are you here?"

Thany
"I've been in the Etrurian Army.  I was surprised when I heard that Edessa got
 taken by Bern, but I knew you'd be okay!"

Yuno
"Oh?  Why do you say that?"

Thany
"You were captain of the Fleet!  There's no way Bern could defeat you."

Yuno
"Thank you.  Well, you'll be sorry to hear that I was captured."

Thany
"Well, that's..."

Yuno
"But I won't stay defeated by Bern for long.  On my own all I could do was
 rescue the people in the castle, but if I joined you, I could fight against
 Bern as well."

Thany
"Then are you going to fight with us?"

Yuno
"Yes."

Thany
"Really?  Yes!"

Yuno
"Does that make you so excited?"

Thany
"Yes!  I became a Pegasus Knight because I wanted to be like you.  Fighting
 alongside you is like a dream."

Yuno
"My my...  Well, you always did tend to go overboard with things..."

*Yuno joins*


== Battle with Roartz ==

Roartz
"S-Someone!  Come and defend me!  It is all over if I am hurt!"

*If you use Douglas*

Roartz
"Douglas...  Hmph!  After all that you said, you too are following those with
 power!"

Douglas
"Perhaps it may seem that way from the outside.  But there is no hesitation in
 my heart now."

Roartz
"Silence!  I have just about had enough of you.  Die here!"


== Defeating Roartz ==

Roartz
"W-Wait...  Be my servant!  It is still not too late...  I shall...forgive your
 crime of turning your blade...toward me...  Guh...!"


== After beating the map ==

*If you finished in 25 turns or less and if Zealot and Yuno survived*

Roy
"Next is Bern..."

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  Part of Bern's army is hiding in the ruins on the outskirts of
 Edessa!"

Roy
"Ruins?"

Merlinus
"Yes.  They say that in it lies a spear that was used during the Dragon Human
 Wars."

Roy
"What!  That spear..."

Merlinus
"It is most probably a Divine Weapon."

Roy
"We must hurry to the ruins!"

(To Chapter 20B Gaiden)

*If you finished in 26 turns or more or if Zealot or Yuno was defeated*

Roy
"Princess Guinevere, we will attack Bern now.  So may I ask..."

Guinevere
"...The rest of the story."

Roy
"King Zephiel was an outstanding pupil is his studies, he was skilled in
 warcraft...  He grew to be the perfect heir for the king."

Guinevere
"That is correct."

Roy
"But still the former king did not look kindly at him."

Guinevere
"In fact...  Our father began to hate Zephiel because he grew to become such a
 brilliant and worthy youth."

Roy
"What...is that supposed to mean...?"

Guinevere
"Our father was a man of ordinary skill and intellect.  Therefore, Zephiel's
 outstanding skill made our father cold towards him."

Roy
"Jealousy...?"

Guinevere
"And then one day, our father told Zephiel that 'the next heir to Bern would be
 Guinevere's husband.'"

Roy
"What!  That's awful!"

Guinevere
"But Zephiel was very patient.  He said that he did not mind even if he did not
 gain the throne.  But the people around us, who were looking forward to
 Zephiel's ability to be a good king, would not allow anyone else to be the
 heir.  Pressured by the public, our father lost his patience at last, and..."

Roy
"Decided to kill King Zephiel...?"

Guinevere
"At a banquet, our father gave Zephiel a poisoned drink from his own hands.
 And that was the first and last cup that Zephiel took from our father.  After
 returning to his room, Zephiel started to get sick.  For 10 days and nights,
 Zephiel lingered between life and death.  But Murdock, Zephiel's teacher and
 loyal general, saved his life."

Roy
"...The former king never did anything after that?"

Guinevere
"No...  But I have heard that he had plans to get rid of Murdock and Zephiel's
 mother as traitors.  He was scheming to murder them all along with Zephiel.
 After hearing that, Zephiel made believe that he was dead.  Our father then
 checked the coffin to confirm Zephiel's death.  At that moment, Zephiel rose
 up from the coffin and...with his sword..."

Roy
"......"

Guinevere
"I was but a child then, so naturally I could not have understood what was
 going on.  All I knew is that after our father died, Zephiel never smiled
 again.  Until then, he was strict at times, but he was always a kind and
 loving brother to me.  So..."

Roy
"Princess..."

Guinevere
"So I...  At the bottom of my heart, I trust that Zephiel can change, that he
 will become that loving brother again.  So I had to take action."

Roy
"I...see..."

Guinevere
"...But now Zephiel is at a place where he can never hear me.  Roy, please...
 Please stop him.  Please stop him from inflicting pain and suffering to the
 people of Bern and the people of the other nations."

Roy
"Even if it may resolve to the blade?"

Guinevere
"...I have made my resolve when I entrusted this task to you."

Roy
"I see.  You have my word and loyalty, Princess Guinevere.  I swear to the Fire
 Emblem that I will stop King Zephiel!"

*If all the NPC units (the civilians) safely escaped*

Girl
"Excuse me..."

Guinevere
"Yes...?

Girl
"Are you the one who saved us?"

Guinevere
"No, I am..."

Girl
"Thank you!  Thanks to you, we can now stand here safely.  Please accept this
 token of our gratitude."

Old Woman
"Thank you!"

(Girl and Old Woman leave)

Guinevere
"......  I shall hand this to Roy..."

                  Chapter 20B Gaiden: The Spear of Snow and Ice
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

After taking back Castle Edessa, Roy turned his troops towards the ancient
ruins located on the outskirts of the town.  There was a high chance that a
Divine Weapon was hidden there.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Soldier
"Lord Teck!  The enemy is advancing!"

Teck (Boss, General)
"There is no need to panic.  These ruins are surrounded by many thick walls.
 They won't be able to come in so easily."

Soldier
"But the enemy has defeated the Ilian troops and our troops one after another!
 We do not have a high chance of winning...!"

Teck
"We do not have to win.  Lord Murdock said that all we must do is defend this
 place.  We must hold out until the enemy gives up and leaves."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"The Divine Weapon lies in here...  Elphin, have you heard about this place?"

Elphin
"Yes.  I believe that the Marte, the Spear of Snow and Ice, resides in these
 ruins."

Roy
"Spear of Snow and Ice..."

Elphin
"Barigan the 'Faithful' used it during the Scouring."

Roy
"Barigan?  All knights know about him.  I used to hear a lot about him during
 my studies.  He is the finest example of knighthood.  ...This building seems
 to have walls everywhere.  Is there a path leading inside?"

Elphin
"Probably the remaining forces of Bern buried the pathways to defend
 themselves."

Roy
"Then they must not have had much time to do it...  Maybe the walls are weak
 at certain areas."

Elphin
"That is quite possible."

Roy
"All right.  Let's do what we can."


== Battle with Teck ==

Teck
"No...  I must be dreaming.  How did you get through those walls?"


== Defeating Teck ==

Teck
"Pass, strong ones...  And know Bern's true power..."


== After beating the map ==

Soldier
"It's here!  The spear is here!"

Roy
"...  This is Barigan's spear Marte...  It's beautiful, as if it's made of
 crystal and ice."

*Merlinus appears*

Merlinus
"Master Roy, Bern's troops are escaping."

Roy
"Oh.  All right."

Merlinus
"All right?  We must attack them now."

Roy
"No, don't.  They are fleeing.  They don't have any more will to fight."

Merlinus
"But..."

Roy
"They have families as well.  There's no need to fight more than necessary."

*Obtained Marte*

                         Chapter 21: The Sword of Seals
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

After surviving many hardships, Roy set foot on Bern's soil at last.

Guinevere guided Roy toward the Temple of Seals, but in their path stood Bern's
elite troops, the strongest army on the continent, led by Murdock, the smartest
and strongest general in Bern.

Etruria and Bern, the two leading forces on the continent, out for all-out war.
The longest and bloodiest day yet to be seen by Elibe was about to begin...


== Opening Cutscene ==

Soldier
"All troops are at their posts and ready for battle, my Lord."

Murdock
"Good.  Thank you."

*Soldier leaves.  Gale appears*

Murdock
"Gale.  So it begins."

Gale
"Yes, my Lord.  We are ready as well."

Murdock
"Your squad will be the key to winning this battle.  Understood?"

Gale
"Of course, my Lord.  I will not let you down."

Murdock
"Yes.  We shall show them the power of Bern's main frontline army.  Still...
 that general from the Lycia Alliance Army made it this far."

Gale
"General Roy?"

Murdock
"Yes, that's him.  I wish to see how he fights...by going up against him
 directly."

*Scene switches to Roy*

Yodel
"Ah, General Roy!  I have found you at last."

Roy
"Bishop Yodel!  What brings you out here all the way from Etruria?  Is
 something wrong?"

Yodel
"I did some research after receiving your letter.  And I have come to the
 conclusion that Bern has indeed resurrected the Dark Dragon!"

Roy
"Is that true!?  ...But Hartmut defeated the Dark Dragon in the war.  How
 could Bern have brought it back to life?"

Yodel
"Apparently Hartmut did defeat the Dark Dragon, but he did not finish it off."

Roy
"What!?"

Yodel
"Instead of killing it, he sealed it away in the mountains of Bern.  And the
 sword he used to seal it was..."

Roy
"The Sword of Seals?"

Yodel
"Oh, did you know?"

Roy
"Yes.  I have done a little studying myself..."

Yodel
"Even if the Dark Dragon has broken out of its seal, if we can obtain the Sword
 of Seals, then we may be able to seal it again or kill it once and for all.
 That is the Church's conclusion, and they sent me to ask for your assistance."

Roy
"Do you know where the Dark Dragon is?"

Yodel
"Yes, my next point.  As the fire-breathing Dragons can change into human form,
 it is highly possible that the Dark Dragon is as well.  In fact, we currently
 have a suspect.  There is a shaman called the Dark Priestess that is always at
 King Zephiel's side."

Roy
"The Dark Priestess..."

Yodel
"We have no solid evidence, but it is true that she appeared at around the same
 time that the other fire-breathing Dragons started to appear."

Roy
"......"

Yodel
"Apparently, the Dragons sealed away their power in gems called Dragon Stones
 to change into human form so that they could adapt to this environment.  In
 that case, it would not be surprising if the Dark Dragon was in the form of a
 human woman as well."

Roy
"In any case, we have to go see her to confirm the truth."

Yodel
"Yes.  I shall accompany you as well."

Roy
"You would fight alongside us?  That would be most helpful!"

Yodel
"Also, take these.  These are the Divine Weapons that the Church found on its
 own.  I have instructions to give them to you."

Roy
"Divine Weapons too!?"

Yodel
"If the Dark Dragon has really been released, then this is the greatest danger
 mankind has faced since the Dragon Human wars!"

Roy
"Yes.  We will face it with all our strength!"

*Yodel joins*


== When Gale's team appears ==

Gale
"All right, let's go!  Crush them all.  Leave none alive!  Show the enemy the
 wrath of the Dragon Masters of Bern!"


== Conversation (Saul, Yodel) ==

Saul
"Ah, Bishop Yodel."

Yodel
"Saul, it is good to see you are well.  And thank you.  The Church has been
 saved countless times because you and Dorothy fought alongside Roy."

Saul
"...If one such as I was to be of any help at all, then I am truly proud."

Yodel
"Oh?  It seems I have never seen you so...serious."

Saul
"Bishop Yodel, even I am a priest.  I have as much for the common good as
 anybody."

Yodel
"I see.  I am sorry.  Then let us fight together, shall we?"


== Conversation (Dorothy, Yodel) ==

Yodel
"Dorothy.  Have you been well?"

Dorothy
"Yes.  It is good to see you again, Bishop Yodel."

Yodel
"You always so bright and full of energy.  I'm sure God loves that part of
 you."

Dorothy
"Do you think so..."

Yodel
"Everyone who comes in contact with your pure heart has his own heart cleansed.
 Like me, for example.  Even Saul.  You should be proud of that."

Dorothy
"Yes, Bishop Yodel!"


== Conversation (Zeiss, Gale) ==

Zeiss
"Sir Gale..."

Gale
"Zeiss.  It seems you are well."

Zeiss
"Sir Gale...  Must we fight?"

Gale
"Yes.  We must."

Zeiss
"I...  I don't want to fight you!  You're the last person..."

Gale
"Zeiss!  Don't be a child!"

Zeiss
"Huh...!?"

Gale
"Did you have only so much resolve when you left Bern?  Is that all the resolve
 you had when you decided to fight against Bern!"

Zeiss
"No!  My mind is...set...  Even now, it hurts to point my blade toward Bern,
 my homeland...  But I believed that the path I chose wasn't a mistake...!"

Gale
"Then cast away your hesitation!  Focus on crushing those who block the path
 that you have chosen.  ...No matter who it is."

Zeiss
"Sir Gale..."

Gale
"Zeiss...  Were you not a knight of Bern?"

Zeiss
"...Of course!"

Gale
"Good!  When we meet next time, neither of us will speak.  We will fight!"


== Conversation (Miledy, Gale) ==

Miledy
"Gale..."

Gale
"Miledy..."

Miledy
"Gale...  I..."

Gale
"Do not speak...  You and I are both loyal knights.  We both fight for whom we
 have pledged our service to.  That is all."

Miledy
"......"

Gale
"Miledy...  This is probably the end, so let me say this.  Miledy, I am truly
 grateful that I was able to meet you.  We trained our skills together, and we
 fought alongside each other.  Miledy...  The days I spent with you...   Those
 were the happiest days of my life."

Miledy
"Me...  Mine too..."

Gale
"...Goodbye, Miledy...  I always wish we had met in a more peaceful time."

Miledy
"Gale..."

*Gale leaves screen*

Miledy
"Wait...!  Gale!  Don't go!  Gaaaaaaaaaale!!!"


== Defeating Gale ==

(No lines when you fight him)

Gale
"I have no regrets...  Zeiss...  Take care...of Miledy..."


== Battle with Murdock ==

Murdock
"Hm...you made it this far.  I congratulate you.  But can you defeat me?"

*If you use Roy*

Murdock
"So!  You are General Roy!  I have always been looking forward to match blades
 with you!"

*If you use Miledy*

Murdock
"Miledy...  I don't want to fight you.  But you are here.  It seems we have no
 choice.  Come!"

*If you use Zeiss*

Murdock
"You were one of Narshen's troops...  I heard the story from Gale.  I do feel
 sorry for you, but you are currently an enemy.  Come!  We fight!"


== Defeating Murdock ==

Murdock
"Gah...!  You...are strong...  Zephiel...  My king...  I cannot protect you...
 any further...  Forgive me...!"


== After beating the map ==

*If you finished in 30 turns or less and if Miledy and Zeiss survived*

Elphin
"Master Roy...  There is a path leading underground."

Roy
"Does that mean that the Sword of Seals is in there?"

Elphin
"I don't know...  But I heard from a captive that there lie two things inside
 the temple."

Roy
"!  Does that mean that there is another Divine Weapon?"

Elphin
"Possibly...  Perhaps we should ask those from our army who are natives of
 Bern."

Roy
"All right.  I'll check with them."

(To Chapter 21 Gaiden)

*If you finished in 31 turns of more, or if Miledy or Gale was defeated*

Elphin
"Master Roy.  This sword stuck into the altar..."

Roy
"This must be the Sword of Seals."

Merlinus
"Let's see...  ...I can't seem to draw it from the stone."

Roy
"It's sealed.  You have to use the Fire Emblem."

Merlinus
"Use it?  How?"

Roy
"Princess Guinevere said that you just have to stick it into the opening in the
 handle..."

*Screen flashes*

Roy
"Whoa!  What the..."

Merlinus
"The blade is glowing!"

Roy
"Now I should be able to draw it...  ...!"

*Screen flashes.  Background changes*

Roy
"...What...is this...?  This is the Sword of Seals'...  No, Hartmut's...
 Memories...?"

*A girl appears, and then disappears*

Roy
"Who was that?  What is this feeling...  It's very..."

*Screen flashes.  Background returns to normal*

Merlinus
"Master Roy?  Are you all right?"

Roy
"Yeah...  I'm fine.  So this is Hartmut's sword, the Sword of Seals...  Am I
 allowed to use it...?"

Elphin
"It has been said for centuries that the best swords choose their owners.  The
 sword is in your hands now.  You were chosen by it."

Roy
"But it's only coincidence that I'm holding it..."

Elphin
"What we may think of as being coincidental...  Even that might be part of our
 fate."

Roy
"......"

Merlinus
"Anyway, now that we have the Sword of Seals, all we need to do is head for

                   Chapter 21 Gaiden: The Silencing Darkness
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

Roy ventured deep inside the Temple of Seals.  Apparently there was something
else hidden there other than the Sword of Seals.

However, Pereth, one of Murdock's best troop leaders, was already inside the
temple and waiting to ambush Roy.


== Opening Cutscene ==

Pereth (Boss, Druid)
"So the battle above the ground was lost..."

Soldier
"Yes."

Pereth
"I would have liked to be at Lord Murdock's side when he fell."

Soldier
"...We share your feelings."

Pereth
"However, we have an important mission given from Lord Murdock.  We must defend
 this Divine Weapon.  The Silencing Darkness, Apocalypse, must not get into the
 enemy's hands!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

*If Miledy is in your attack team*

Roy
"There is a Divine Weapon under here?"

Miledy
"Yes, I think so.  I have only heard rumors within the army, but apparently
 there is a spell book here that was placed to protect the Temple of Seals from
 intruders."

Elphin
"This place is guarded by Bern's troops as well.  It is highly probable that
 the spell book that she speaks of is a Divine Weapon."

Roy
"Yes.  We're going up against Zephiel soon.  ...I want to have as many weapons
 as possible ready before we enter the castle.  We have to get that book."

Miledy
"I have also heard rumors that there are traps all over the underground level."

Roy
"Traps?"

Miledy
"Yes.  Apparently they are so well crafted that we could not possibly find a
 trap before it is set off.  Perhaps Thieves would be better at spotting the
 traps...  Anyway, please be careful."

Roy
"All right.  Let's be wary."

*If Miledy is not in your attack team*

Roy
"Princess Guinevere, is this where the Divine Weapon is?"

Guinevere
"Probably... I have only heard rumors that there is a spell book here that was
 placed to protect the Temple of Seals from intruders."

Elphin
"This place is guarded by Bern's troops as well.  It is highly probable that
 the spell book that she speaks of is a Divine Weapon."

Roy
"Yes.  We're going up against Zephiel soon.  ...I want to have as many weapons
 as possible ready before we enter the castle.  We have to get that book."

Guinevere
"I also understand that there are numerous traps placed in the underground
 level."

Roy
"Traps?"

Guinevere
"Yes.  They are so well designed that it would be impossible for us to find
 them.  Perhaps Thieves would be better at finding them...  Please be careful."

Roy
"Yes, Princess.  We will be careful."


== Battle with Pereth ==

Pereth
"Darkness from an age long forgotten...  I will show you its power."


== Defeating Pereth ==

Pereth
"Dark...  It is getting so...dark..."


== After beating the map ==

Roy
"Elphin, do you know what this spell book is?"

Elphin
"...It is probably the Apocalypse spell book."

Roy
"Apocalypse?"

Elphin
"Yes, it is also known as the Silencing Darkness.  Bramimond... the most
 mysterious of the Eight Heroes...used it."

Roy
"Bramimond...  I only know his name."

Elphin
"We don't even know if Bramimond is male or female, old or young.  None of the
 old scrolls say anything specific about Bramimond."

Roy
"I see..."

Elphin
"......"

*Guinevere appears*

Guinevere
"Roy, is something wrong?"

Roy
"No, I was just thinking."

Guinevere
"About what?"

Roy
"I was wondering why there always some kind of trap where a Divine Weapon
 lies."

Guinevere
"...Perhaps it is to warn people of their power is too great to be dealt with
 lightly."

Roy
"But still...  The traps are so carefully set.  There must be other reasons."

Guinevere
"......"

Elphin
"...I wondered about the same thing.  Perhaps I shall look into it."

Roy
"Yes...  Please."

*Obtained Apocalypse*

*Scene switches to outside*

Elphin
"Master Roy.  This sword stuck into the altar..."

Roy
"This must be the Sword of Seals."

Merlinus
"Let's see...  ...I can't seem to draw it from the stone."

Roy
"It's sealed.  You have to use the Fire Emblem."

Merlinus
"Use it?  How?"

Roy
"Princess Guinevere said that you just have to stick it into the opening in the
 handle..."

*Screen flashes*

Roy
"Whoa!  What the..."

Merlinus
"The blade is glowing!"

Roy
"Now I should be able to draw it...  ...!"

*Screen flashes.  Background changes*

Roy
"...What...is this...?  This is the Sword of Seals'...  No, Hartmut's...
 Memories...?"

*A girl appears, and then disappears*

Roy
"Who was that?  What is this feeling...  It's very..."

*Screen flashes.  Background returns to normal*

Merlinus
"Master Roy?  Are you all right?"

Roy
"Yeah...  I'm fine.  So this is Hartmut's sword, the Sword of Seals...  Am I
 allowed to use it...?"

Elphin
"It has been said for centuries that the best swords choose their owners.  The
 sword is in your hands now.  You were chosen by it."

Roy
"But it's only coincidence that I'm holding it..."

Elphin
"What we may think of as being coincidental...  Even that might be part of our
 fate."

Roy
"......"

Merlinus
"Anyway, now that we have the Sword of Seals, all we need to do is head for
 the King's castle.  We must hurry!"

Roy
"...Right!  We have to defeat Zephiel!"

*Obtained Sword of Seals*

*Roy is promoted to Master Lord!*

                       Chapter 22: The Neverending Dream
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

After obtaining the Sword of Seals, Roy directed his troops towards Bern's
capitol, where King Zephiel was waiting. Zephiel, the man who started this
war...

Inside the castle, Zephiel awaited with his personal guards at hand.

Roy prepared to charge the castle.  To end this war, and to bring peace to
Elibe again...


== Opening Cutscene ==

Zephiel
"So...  Murdock was defeated..."

Brenya
"...I am sorry."

Zephiel
"...How is the Etrurian Army behaving?"

Brenya
"They have captured the Temple of Seals.  They are now headed this way."

Zephiel
"I see...  Then we shall face them inside this castle."

Brenya
"Yes.  I will protect you to the death."

Zephiel
"Not you.  Brenya, I have a very important task for you."

Brenya
"What...?"

Zephiel
"Idoun.  Where is Idoun?"

*Idoun appears*

Idoun
"...Here."

Zephiel
"I will stay here and defend the castle from the Etrurian Army.  Idoun, you
 must escape hide until this battle is over."

Idoun
"If his Majesty wishes."

Zephiel
"Brenya, I want you to escape as well.  Protect Idoun."

Brenya
"What!?  Please!  Let me fight by your side!"

Zephiel
"No.  ...This will be a harsh battle.  I cannot afford to lose Idoun now.  If
 Idoun were to be lost...this whole war would be meaningless."

Brenya
"But!  I, I...!"

Zephiel
"Enough, Brenya!  This is an order.  Are you telling me that you cannot follow
 your king's commands?"

Brenya
"No...  I'm not saying that..."

Zephiel
"Idoun, even if I were to fall...  You understand, do you not?"

Idoun
"Yes...  I will 'free' the world, as you ordered."

Zephiel
"Right.  I will not give up my dream now."

Idoun
"Yes."

*Focus on Hero at the top left*

Hero
"The Etrurian Army has come...  I will not let you invade the throne room!"

*Focus on Hero at the top right*

Hero
"I shall protect this device with my life!"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Roy
"This is the king's castle..."

Merlinus
"Master Roy, Zephiel is residing in the throne room at the center of the
 castle.  However, there are some special devices that protect the throne room
 when invaders appear."

Roy
"What kind of devices?"

Merlinus
"One of the captives said that at the west end of the castle there are switches
 that need to maneuvered first."

Roy
"It'll be a long detour..."

Merlinus
"There is more.  After hitting the switches, you must hold the 'Gem' in front
 of the throne room door to make it open."

Roy
"Gem?  Is it the Fire Emblem?"

Merlinus
"Probably."

Roy
"I have that with me.  So I should head to the throne room while leaving the
 switches to the others..."

Merlinus
"That would be the shortest way."

Roy
"...But would the captives leak that kind of information so easily?  Perhaps
 its a trap..."

Merlinus
"No. The captive also said, 'The switches and the door are all defended by
 Bern's most powerful warriors.  Even if you knew how to get into the throne
 room, you wouldn't be able to get there.'"

Roy
"We need to try, even if we're going up against powerful enemies.  We're
 pretty strong as well.  We won't lose!"


== When one of your units steps on the switches at the top of the map ==

Unit
"This is the switch?  Nothing's happening, though..."


== When Roy stands before the throne room door ==

Zephiel
"You have come.  Hmph...how ironic.  A child, stepping in my path."

Roy
"Zephiel...King of Bern...  I will ask you this.  Why did you start this war!"

Zephiel
"...I wish to end the age of man."

Roy
"...What?"

Zephiel
"Humans...  Humans are filthy.  They flock to those with power and would not
 think twice about betraying trusted allies to obtain more power.  You must
 have witnessed numerous traitors in your travels.  Am I right?"

Roy
"......"

Zephiel
"Jealousy.  Hate.  Greed.  Friends, even family members would be driven to kill
 by these stupid emotions.  Such emotions create fathers who try to kill their
 own sons to save their own flesh.  As long as humans control, as long as
 humans dictate, as long as humans exist...this madness will never end."

Roy
"But look at what you are doing!  You are one of those humans who control other
 humans!"

Zephiel
"...You know how the Scouring ended."

Roy
"The Dark Dragon was defeated by Hartmut..."

Zephiel
"That was the mistake."

Roy
"Mistake?"

Zephiel
"Mankind should not have won.  Just because the humans came out victorious,
 this world came under their control and transformed into a world of madness
 and evil, driven by accursed emotions!"

Roy
"......"

Zephiel
"Mistakes must be fixed with haste.  I will give back the world to the Dragons.
 I will free the world from the evil grasp of men.  History must be redone from
 the beginning again to save this world from everlasting evil!"

Roy
"Then...it is true that you resurrected the Dark Dragon?"

Zephiel
"You may see that for yourself."

Roy
"You said you would give the world to the Dragons.  Then rule by humans would
 just be replaced by similar rule by Dragons!"

Zephiel
"The Dragons you see now are weapons for battle.  They have no 'self.'  They
 have no cruel emotions to be driven by, unlike humans.  The world under the
 Dragons' control would be fair and peaceful."

Roy
"I cannot agree that such a world would be for the better good!  It is true
 that humans have many evil emotions and do terrible things, but it has always
 been us humans who have corrected such wrongdoings!"

Zephiel
"Hmph...you are indeed naive."

Roy
"I have faith in mankind.  I will not lose to a man who has lost faith in
 people and even in himself!"


== Battle with Zephiel ==

Zephiel
"You shall not bar my path!"


== Defeating Zephiel ==

Zephiel
"...So you have defeated me...  But remember...  My will shall never die...
 As long as...humans retain control...madness will persist..."

===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

Bern surrendered with King Zephiel's death.  The great war that shook the lands
of Elibe was over.

However, Roy's battle was not.

Roy continued to search for the Dark Priestess, who could be the Dark Dragon.
Following the light emitted by the Divine Weapons, Roy headed for the Dragon
Temple.

However, waiting for Roy in front of the temple was Brenya, the one remaining
Dragon Lord of Bern.  She had rounded up the remaining troops and was waiting
to attack Roy.  Their pride was at stake.

A battle with the now dead Kingdom of Bern...  Roy already had a heavy heart at
having to battle these "ghosts."


== Opening Cutscene ==

Brenya
"Lord Jahn, here is Idoun.  Please take care of her."

Jahn (Dragon with red hair.  Pronounced "Yaan")
"What you going to do, human?"

Brenya
"We will stay here and face the Etrurian Army one last time."

Jahn
"Do you have the troops?"

Brenya
"The Dragon Knights that had been scattered around the continent have all
 returned under our cause."

Jahn
"Do you have a chance of victory?"

Brenya
"...Our chances of winning are not high.  But we are the Bern Army, the
 strongest force on the continent.  We shall at the very least show them our
 unbending will."

Jahn
"Will...  You humans take actions incomprehensible to us at times.  Would your
 will raise your chances of winning?  Very well.  We all have our methods of
 battle."

*Jahn leaves.  A Soldier appears*

Brenya
"...Have you spread my message?"

Soldier
"Yes.  'Those who leave the army now will not be tried as guilty of fleeing.
 Whether to fight or to leave is up to each his own.'  That was your message,
 General Brenya."

Brenya
"How many still remain with us?"

Soldier
"Almost all of the troops are saying that they wish to fight by your side."

Brenya
"All?  Our chances of victory are slim.  I'm sure many of the troops have
 families waiting for them.  They must not feel pressured to stay."

Soldier
"We are knights of Bern, my Lady.  We have no intention of bowing our heads to
 Etruria."

Brenya
"...I want you to expel those who are injured and those who have young children
 or aged parents.  They must not stay here."

Soldier
"But General Brenya..."

Brenya
"This is an order.  Understood?"

*Scene switches to Roy*

Elphin
"Master Roy, our troops are ready."

Roy
"...Did the messenger return?"

Elphin
"Yes.  ...As we suspected, the enemy has no intention of surrendering."

Roy
"Did you make it clear that their safety would be guaranteed if they
 surrender?"

Elphin
"Yes.  But they said, 'We appreciate your offer, but we will not surrender.'"

Roy
"Why?  Bern already officially surrendered..."

Elphin
"This person might understand..."

*Guinevere appears*

Guinevere
"......"

Roy
"Princess Guinevere...do you understand why?"

Guinevere
"Yes.  ...Bern recognizes itself as being the strongest force in Elibe.  Their
 pride would not allow them accept defeat without fighting."

Roy
"......"

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  The enemy is advancing!"

Roy
"!  ...We have no choice.  We must fight!  Merlinus, send Princess Guinevere to
 the back lines..."

Guinevere
"No.  I will stay here.  I...must listen to their calls.  That is all that a...
 traitor like myself can do..."


== 1st Turn ==

Old Man
"M-Master Karel!  This will become a battlefield soon..."

Karel
"So I see.  This place is not known to outsiders.  I thought I could be free of
 warfare if I stayed here..."

Old Man
"What should we do?"

Karel
"Please do not worry.  I will protect the village."

Old Man
"Thank you!  We have nothing to fear with the Sword Saint on our side."

Karel
"I am just an ordinary swordsman.  Rumors become larger with time, so they must
 not easily be trusted.  ...But this battle seems to be bigger than I thought.
 Is my sister all right...?"

Old Man
"I never knew you had a sister."

Karel
"I haven't seen her in a long time, but I heard a while ago that she fell ill.
 I can only hope that she is leading a peaceful life with her husband and
 daughter..."


== Visit Village ==

*If you visit using Fir*

Fir
"Uncle!"

Karel
"That voice...  Is it Fir?  What are you doing here?"

Fir
"I never expected to find you here either, uncle."

Karel
"After traveling around the continent, I decided to settle here.  I thought I
 could train my sword skills without being caught up in unwanted messes in a
 quiet place like this..."

Fir
"Uncle...  I must tell you something.  Mother...she..."

Karel
"...Died?"

Fir
"Yes..."

Karel
"...  So she didn't survive the illness...  I'm sorry.  I wasn't there when she
 needed me the most..."

Fir
"No...it's all right."

Karel
"But why are you here?  You don't seem like you have been searching for me just
 to say that."

Fir
"Yes.  I'm fighting against Bern now."

Karel
"You...joined the war?"

Fir
"I know that you don't like getting caught up in conflicts like this.  But I
 could not help but try and do something for those people who are suffering
 because of the war.  Uncle...am I wrong?  Did I make a mistake?  Is this not
 good for training my sword...?"

Karel
"No, you have not made any mistakes.  The path you choose on your own is never
 wrong.  In fact, I shall assist you from now on."

Fir
"Really!?"

Karel
"Yes.  ...You are right.  You have grown.  The last time I saw you, you were
 still a baby."

Fir
"Uncle..."

*Karel joins*

*If you visit using Bartre*

Bartre
"Karel!?"

Karel
"Bartre?  What are you doing here?"

Bartre
"I am currently enlisted in the Etrurian Army.  I didn't expect to see you
 here..."

Karel
"After traveling around the continent, I decided to settle here.  I thought I
 could train my sword skills without being caught up in unwanted messes in a
 quiet place like this..."

Bartre
"...I must apologize..."

Karel
"...Is it about my sister?"

Bartre
"Yes...  I tried my hardest, but..."

Karel
"She didn't survive..."

Bartre
"I am truly sorry.  My weakness couldn't save her..."

Karel
"It is not your fault.  I must apologize.  I couldn't be at her side when she
 needed me the most..."

Bartre
"...I must ask you for something."

Karel
"What is that?"

Bartre
"I want this battle to end.  I know you dislike warfare...  But would you help
 us...?"

Karel
"...I see.  Yes, I will try my hardest."

Bartre
"Thank you!  We have nothing to fear with such a skilled swordsman on our
 side!"

*Karel joins*

*If you visit using anyone else*

Karel
"This village has none who would wish to fight.  Please leave us in peace."


== Conversation (Roy, Karel) ==

Karel
"Are you Roy?"

Roy
"Who are you?"

Karel
"I am Karel.  I hereby have decided to assist your army."

Roy
"You're the Sword Saint...  I have heard of your skills.  You are most
 welcome."


== Battle with Brenya ==

Brenya
"Bern will not lose!  Even if I fall, Bern will rise back up and fight again!"

*If you use Miledy*

Brenya
"Miledy...  So you have chosen the path with Princess Guinevere.  That is one
 way...  But I have chosen my own path, as you yours.  I must fight to defend
 it!"

*If you use Zeiss*

Brenya
"You are a knight of Bern?  So you have chosen the path with Princess
 Guinevere.  That is one way...  But I have chosen my own path, as you yours.
 I must fight to defend it!"


== Defeating Brenya ==

Brenya
"Your...Majesty...  Now...I can go...to your side..."


== After beating the map ==

Roy
"This is the Dragon Temple...  The Dark Priestess is in here?"

Elphin
"We can count on that.  But...something is bothering me..."

Roy
"What?"

Elphin
"In one of the legends of the Scouring, it is said that the Dragon Temple holds
 the power of the Dragons."

Roy
"What does that mean?"

Elphin
"It is also said that the temple's power protects the Dragon itself."

Roy
"What...?  I don't understand."

Elphin
"This is just my estimate, but perhaps it means that the Dragons inside the
 temple have much greater power than those on the outside."

Roy
"So...  Our tactics against the Dragons until now might now work?"

Elphin
"Right.  But perhaps if one worthy of using the Divine Weapons uses one to its
 fullest potential, then perhaps we may have a chance."

Roy
"...We have no other good ideas.  All right.  Then we'll choose those who have
 the best skill to enter the temple."

Elphin
"Be careful who you choose.  We might not be able to leave once we're
 inside..."

                      Chapter 24: The Truth of the Legend
===============================================================================

== On the World Map ==

After defeating Bern's remaining troops, Roy entered the Dragon Temple.

He searched for the Dark Priestess to prevent the same tragedy as the Dragon
Human Wars from happening again.

Here in the temple, Roy was to learn the truth of the legends he had always
heard.  What Roy was about to hear was completely different that what he had
always believed to be true...


== Opening Cutscene ==

Roy
"This is the Dragon Temple...  The air is strange.  Did the Eight Heroes fight
 under such pressure as well?"

*Jahn appears*

Jahn
"Would you stand before us again, humans?"

Roy
"What...  Who are you!  When did you..."

Jahn
"I am Jahn.  I am the last remaining Dragon of the Dragon Temple."

Roy
"The last Dragon?  You seem...different from the other Dragons...  Are you the
 Dark Dragon?"

Jahn
"The Dragons who you have been fighting are War Dragons who know nothing but
 battle.  And the Dark Dragon is something completely different from me.  I am
 a full-blooded Dragon who fought you humans in the faraway past."

Roy
"Different?  Wasn't the Dark Dragon supposed to be the leader of the Dragons?"

Jahn
"The Dark Dragon is an 'object' that is meant bring hope to us Dragons again.
 It is no leader."

Roy
"What?  Then what is the Dark Dragon?"

Jahn
"It seems you have much to learn."

Roy
"Tell us!  What is the Dark Dragon?  We...I have to fully understand my enemy
 before I fight!"

Jahn
"Well...  I have no reason to tell you.  And yet, I have no reason not to tell
 you.  What should I do?"

Roy
"......"

Jahn
"...All right.  I shall test you to see if you are worthy of hearing the truth.
 I am deep inside the temple.  Fend off our attacks and come to me.  Then I
 shall explain everything."

Roy
"But you're right here!"

Jahn
"What you are seeing is just an illusion.  If you wish to know the truth, then
 come to me.  If you prove yourself worthy of my time, then you shall hear it
 all..."


== After capturing the 1st altar ==

Roy
"You...  Are you real this time?  Or..."

Jahn
"This is but the entrace.  You have a long way yet to reach me.  But you seem
 to be strong enough not to die immediately."

Roy
"Of course.  We have gone through many hardships."

Jahn
"So I see.  Very well, I shall tell you a little about the Dark Dragon.  The
 Dark Dragon is not the leader of the Dragons as you thought.  The Dark Dragon
 was created by us to bring us victory."

Roy
"Created...?  So it wasn't the Dark Dragon who was making more Dragons..."

Jahn
"The Dragons you speak of are correctly referred to as War Dragons.  As I said
 before, they are different from pure Dragons such as I.  Indeed, the War
 Dragons are created by the Dark Dragon.  And the Dark Dragon was created out
 of the Divine Dragon, the most powerful of our kind."

Roy
"Created out of the Divine Dragon?  Then the Dark Dragon is actually...  The
 Divine Dragon agreed to become the Dark Dragon?"

Jahn
"Agreed?  No.  We destroyed its soul so that it would follow our leader's
 every command."

Roy
"What...!"

Jahn
"We desperately needed the power of the Divine Dragon.  Our entire species was
 at stake."

Roy
"You needed the power of the Divine Dragon...  But...why did you have to
 destroy its soul!"

Jahn
"Why, you ask.  If you want that answer, then seek me out again.  I shall
 witness your power further..."


== After capturing the 2nd altar ==

Jahn
"Not bad, not bad at all.  I wonder how far you will come."

Roy
"I want you to go on with your story."

Jahn
"...No matter how much we fought, you humans just seemed to multiply endlessly.
 Eventually, we began to lose because of the humans' sheer number.  Therefore,
 we created the Dark Dragon that would make War Dragons."

Roy
"War Dragons...  Dragons meant only for battle."

Jahn
"That is correct.  But the Divine Dragons did not agree with us.  They said
 that that would be defying the laws of nature.  As we were discussing how we
 could persuade the Divine Dragons to help us, they suddenly disappeared."

Roy
"Why?"

Jahn
"Most likely they left us to prevent us from taking advantage of them.  We
 could not find the Divine Dragons, but fortunately, we were able to capture
 one."

Roy
"And that became the Dark Dragon?"

Jahn
"Right.  And that Divine Dragon, Idoun, was to become the Dark Dragon.
 However, she felt hesitation in letting the Divine Dragons and us other
 Dragons going on to bad terms.  Hesitation...such nonsense is for humans only.
 We Dragons have no need for it."

Roy
"Then that hesitation worked against you..."

Jahn
"The Divine Dragon we captured was still young, but we had no problem because
 it was good enough for our purpose.  However, its heart was not with us.  It
 would not follow our commands."

Roy
"So you destroyed its heart..."

Jahn
"Exactly.  We destroyed its soul to make it follow our every command."

Roy
"That's...terrible."

Jahn
"That is enough for now.  If you want to know more, then show me more of your
 power!"


== After capturing the 3rd altar ==

Jahn
"You have taken another step forward.  But the way is still long."

Roy
"We shall reach you!"

Jahn
"You have a stout heart.  What do you wish to hear next?"

Roy
"You succeeded in creating the Dark Dragon.  The Dark Dragon produced War
 Dragons.  Then why did you lose to the humans?"

Jahn
"Indeed, the Dark Dragon continued to produce War Dragons to use in the
 battlefield.  We were able to turn the tables on the humans."

Roy
"......"

Jahn
"However, the humans soon found out about the Dark Dragon.  They concluded that
 their numbers would not be enough to defeat us.  Therefore, they put their
 efforts into constructing powerful weapons that would pierce our scales.  They
 are what you call the Divine Weapons."

Roy
"That part is the same as our legends..."

Jahn
"The most powerful and potent were chosen out of the humans to wield their
 newly crafted weapons.  They came and charged this temple.  However, when the
 immense power of the weapons and our power clashed near Bern, something
 unexpected happened."

Roy
"What happened?"

Jahn
"The laws of nature started to collapse.  Snow began to fall in mid summer.
 Stars shone in the middle of day..."

Roy
"Is that the Ending Winter?  I heard that that happened because you Dragons
 unleashed too much power into the world..."

Jahn
"Is that how your legends go?"

Roy
"The power in the Divine Weapons was then used to restore order in nature.
 That's what our legends say."

Jahn
"All the bad things that happened are all our fault.  I would have expected you
 humans to think like that.  But the truth is what I said."

Roy
"Then the Divine Weapons were sealed away so as to not let such a disaster
 happen again?  Then all those traps that protected them were to warn us..."

Jahn
"You sealed them away?  That was a good decision.  But they seem to be in your
 hands right now."

Roy
"......"

Jahn
"Do not worry.  The weapons do not seem to have as much power as they did in
 the past.  They are unable to bringing about a disaster again."

Roy
"......"

Jahn
"The great disaster hurt us Dragons greatly."

Roy
"How?"

Jahn
"The disaster was originally the reason that we lost to the humans.  ..I shall
 continue when you advance a little further."


== After capturing the 4th altar ==

Jahn
"You have come here again.  You are doing better that I expected."

Roy
"...Please continue the story."

Jahn
"When the order of nature collapsed, we Dragons took a fatal blow.  The forces
 of nature weakened, and it became difficult for us to retain our original
 Dragon form.  Therefore, we decided to seal our powers in gemstones and take
 human form instead."

Roy
"Those must be the Dragon Stones..."

Jahn
"Yes.  Now we were utterly powerless against the humans.  In human form, we
 were just as weak, no, even weaker than the humans.  The humans took advantage
 of our handicap and started attacking the Dragons that had taken human form."

Roy
"Why did you take human form?"

Jahn
"In the new order of nature, the human was the form that required the least
 energy to transform into.  The Eight Heroes mercilessly crushed us, helpless
 in our human form.  I too suffered a deep wound."

Roy
"Do you have hate for the humans who wounded you?"

Jahn
"Hate?  Only humans have such ridiculous emotions.  We battled to maintain our
 species, and we lost.  That is all."

Roy
"......"

Jahn
"However, you humans might lose this time.  Some human named Zephiel brought
 Dark Dragon to life again."

Roy
"!!  Then Zephiel did break the Dark Dragon's seal!"

Jahn
"That is correct.  If you want to hear more, then show me your more of your
 worthiness."


== After capturing the 5th altar ==

Roy
"Jahn!  I know you're there."

Jahn
"Hm...  It seems that you did indeed defeat Zephiel...  You might make it far
 enough to be able to fight me."

Roy
"What relation did the Dark Dragon have to Zephiel?"

Jahn
"You know that the founder of Bern is the Hartmut, the leader of the Eight
 Heroes, do you not?"

Roy
"I know that."

Jahn
"Then do you know that Hartmut didn't kill the Dark Dragon but only sealed it
 away?"

Roy
"I know.  But I still don't know why he did that."

Jahn
"Hm...I see.  The Eight Heroes eventually defeated our leader, and they made
 their way deep into the temple for find the Dark Dragon.  However, when they
 arrived at the Dark Dragon's chamber, all they saw was a human girl, looking
 off into space.  It was Idoun."

Roy
"They didn't fight?"

Jahn
"The Dark Dragon had its soul destroyed to follow our leader's commands.  Since
 our leader had been killed, there were no further commands to follow."

Roy
"Then what happened to the Dark Dragon?"

Jahn
"The Eight Heroes naturally hesitated.  They had expected to see the most
 powerful Dragon, but all they saw was a girl who wouldn't respond even if
 spoken to."

Roy
"......"

Jahn
"But the Dark Dragon still must be defeated, so the Eight Heroes prepared for
 battle.  The girl then must have reacted to their attack.  She changed into
 the Dark Dragon and fought back, just like the War Dragons who have no heart.
 Hartmut then used a blade even stronger than the Divine Weapons and slashed
 at the Dark Dragon's scales."

Roy
"The Sword of Seals!"

Jahn
"I don't know what you humans call it, but that must be it.  Anyway, when that
 sword cut through the Dark Dragon's flesh, it suddenly fell unconscious."

Roy
"It didn't die?"

Jahn
"Yes.  Apparently, the sword reacted to its wielder's feelings and changed its
 power accordingly."

Roy
"So Hartmut didn't want to kill it, so the Sword of Seals reacted to his
 emotions and only knocked the Dark Dragon unconscious?"

Jahn
"I understand that Hartmut did know a little bit about the Dark Dragon.  And
 then after seeing her as the little girl Idoun, he must have felt pity for
 her.  It is another emotion that we Dragons cannot comprehend."

Roy
"Pity..."
 
Jahn
"And thus at the bottom of his heart he didn't want to kill her.  In my
 opinion, I would never leave something that would be a danger to me alive."

Roy
"So Hartmut's heart changed the sword's strength..."

Jahn
"Hartmut persuaded his comrades and decided to seal the Dark Dragon.  He built
 a temple deep in the forests of Bern and sealed Idoun away using the sword and
 a gemstone.  They are what you call the Sword of Seals and the Fire Emblem.
 He then created a nation near the temple that would watch over and protect the
 seal from being broken.  They are the ancestors of Zephiel."

Roy
"...How do you know all this?  Were you watching?"

Jahn
"No.  I had been deeply wounded, so I was leading a hidden life healing myself.
 I heard the story about the seal from Zephiel.  Although he said that he read
 it in the ancient scrolls that are kept in the court library."

Roy
"How did you meet Zephiel?"

Jahn
"With him?  Hm...  If you reach me, I will tell you.  It is not far now."


== After capturing the 6th altar ==

Jahn
"You have come far.  I am in the chamber right in front of you.  It has been
 long since I last met humans in my true form.  I have not left this place ever
 since the war."

Roy
"You...  You were always here?"

Jahn
"One thousand years...  Having survived the Scouring, I waited, healing my
 wounds in the process.  I waited for the resurrection of the Dark Dragon that
 would bring hope to us Dragons again.  And that time came.  The Dark Dragon's
 seal was broken, and I felt power flowing in my veins again."

Roy
"How does the Dark Dragon's seal being broken make your strength recover?"

Jahn
"The Dragon Temple's power depends on the Dark Dragon's, and thus the Divine
 Dragons' power.  If the Dark Dragon were to be sealed, then there is no way
 I could have recovered to full strength by using the temple's power."

Roy
"I see..."

Jahn
"After my strength fully recovered, I set out to look for the person who had
 broken the seal.  I used my illusion to search him out and ask his intentions.
 I did not wish to go outside in my true form, knowing that you humans now ran
 the world."

Roy
"Wait...  I thought that Dragons in their human form lost most of their powers.
 Then how are you creating this illusion?"

Jahn
"This temple is for the Dragons.  It is the only place that Dragons can use a
 little of their power even in human form.  I am a fairly powerful Dragon.
 Even in human form, as long as I stay in here, creating illusions is easy.
 Still, I would not be able to create actual things like the Dark Dragon can."

Roy
"So you found Zephiel."

Jahn
"Right.  I found Zephiel and asked him, 'Why did you break the Dark Dragon's
 seal?'  Zephiel was an odd man.  He didn't even seem to be the least bit
 surprised.  He looked me right back in the eye and asked who I was.  After I
 told him that I was a Dragon, he started to smile mysteriously.  He then said,
 'My intentions are to give the world to your kind.'"

Roy
"......"

Jahn
"I cannot say that I fully trusted him, but he was still the Dark Dragon's new
 master, so I decided to work with him.  Zephiel then ordered the Dark Dragon
 to lead the world in the place of foolish humans."

Roy
"But Zephiel is dead.  What is the Dark Dragon doing now?"

Jahn
"Although he is gone, the Dark Dragon resides in the chamber behind me.  She is
 waiting for the chance to free the world."

Roy
"But her master is now gone!  Are you her new master?"

Jahn
"I did not need to become her master.  She was commanded to carry out Zephiel's
 orders even if he were to die.  Idoun has absolute obedience to her master.
 She will make sure that humans are banished from this land."

Roy
"What?  Her heart was destroyed, and now she's bound to orders given by a
 person long dead?"

Jahn
"Do you feel pity, like Hartmut did?  ...You humans are truly difficult to
 understand.  But let me tell you this.  No matter how hard you try, humans and
 Dragons will never be able to live in harmony.  The gap between species is
 impossible to fill."

Roy
"That's not true!  I know a place where Dragons and humans are living together.
 Dragons and humans both were brought into the same world.  They can, and will
 understand each other!"

Jahn
"Dragons and humans, living together in harmony?  Rubbish...  I have no
 intention of listening to such nonsense.  Now, enter my domain.  Let us see
 who has more power!"


== Battle with Jahn ==

Jahn
"One thousand years...  My strength has long recovered.  I can feel it..."


== Defeating Jahn ==

Jahn
"So, I have lost...  Humans are truly unpredictable..."


== After beating the map ==

Roy
"In the next chamber lies the Dark Dragon..."

Fa
"...Roy..."

Roy
"?  What's wrong, Fa?  You look like you're about to burst into tears."

Fa
"Is...is Fa also an enemy...?"

Roy
"Huh?"

Fa
"When...  When Fa gets big, will Fa become a bad Dragon too?"

Roy
"!?  Wait, Fa.  Tell me what you want to say, slowly."

Fa
"That man said so...  Dragons and people can't live together..."

Roy
"But you were living in Nabata with people, weren't you?"

Fa
"But the Dark Dragon is a Divine Dragon like Fa is!  And you're going to fight
 the Dark Dragon, right?  What about Fa?  If Fa grows up and becomes like the
 Dark Dragon, then..."

Roy
"You don't have to worry about that.  Even if you grow up, you'll always be Fa.
 You'll always be together with humans, and with us."

Fa
"...Really?"

Roy
"Sure!  And also, I actually want to help the Dark Dragon."

Fa
"Help?"

Roy
"The Dark Dragon is not acting on her own will...she had her soul destroyed.
 I... I don't want to kill her, if I can avoid it."

Fa
"...Fa doesn't get it."

Roy
"You'll understand when you get a little older."

*Fa leaves*

Roy
"Hartmut posed a question.  And I'll give an answer to it!"

Idoun
"......"

Roy
"You're the Dark Priestess...  No, the Dark Dragon."

Idoun
"...Why do you hinder my path?"

Roy
"What...?"

Idoun
"I have been commanded to lead this world.  I shall make the world a better
 place.  Why are you barring my performance?"

Roy
"...You are wrong.  You were only told that the world would become a better
 place.  The person who ordered you is already dead.  So stop!  You no longer
 have any reason to fight!"

Idoun
"......"

Roy
"You...  No, we...  We have no reason to fight."

Idoun
"...A long time ago...  I have a feeling that I heard those same words.  Soft
 words, like a warm breeze...  But that was long ago...  I have been asleep for
 too long.  In the darkness, I was dreaming...  An empty dream, white,
 colorless...  But now I am awake.  His Majesty willed me so."

Roy
"Majesty...  Zephiel!"

Idoun
"I have woken.  I am no longer who I used to be.  I now clearly understand what
 I must do."

Roy
"......"

Idoun (takes off her hood)
"I must lead this world...  No matter how many days or nights pass, I must.
 I must..."

Roy
"You insist on fighting us?"

Idoun
"As long as you stand in my path."

Roy
"Such strong...will..."

Idoun
"His Majesty wishes it to be.  And I was woken to answer his Majesty's calls."

*Idoun changes into the Dark Dragon...*

*Inside Bern Castle*

Guinevere
"Zephiel..."

Roy
"...Princess Guinevere."

Guinevere
"I'm sorry...  Please leave me alone for a while..."

Roy
"Princess...!"

Merlinus
"Master Roy...  We should let her be."

Elphin
"...Allow me."

Roy
"Elphin!"

Elphin
"Yes?"

Roy
"...Thank you.  I knew you had your own problems with your own nation...  But
 you helped us.  I must thank you..."

Elphin
"...I don't quite understand what you mean...but if I have been helpful, then I
 am glad."

Roy
"Yes."

*Elphin leaves*

Roy
"...Control over humans by humans..."

Merlinus
"Zephiel's words?  Perhaps he was right...in a way."

Roy
"...Has the Dark Priestess been found?"

Merlinus
"No...  Apparently she disappeared before the battle."

Roy
"I see...  Do you think she's really the Dark Dragon?"

Merlinus
"I wouldn't know at all unless I actually saw her.  It's going to be difficult
 to find her because she is said to clad in a black robe all the time, and no
 one has ever seen her up close."

Roy
"Oh...  But the battle is now over."

Merlinus
"What are you saying!  The hard part has yet to come.  We must help the land
 recover from the war.  There are people out there who need our assistance."

Roy
"Right!  We have work to do.  The real battle is maybe just beginning."

Merlinus
"Yes.  We are alive, so we must think about the future."

Roy
"No matter what hardships are to come, I will never give up.  We have to show
 that even humans can construct a beautiful and peaceful world!"

Merlinus
"Master Roy, you will have me at your side always.  Now, let us leave the
 castle for now.  We must spread the word of victory!"


== Epilogue ==

And thus this great battle, known later as the "Great Movement of Bern," ended.

With Zephiel's death, Bern surrendered to Etruria.

After breaking apart Bern, Etruria decided not to establish it as a
protectorate.  Instead, Guinevere was placed to become the queen of the new
Kingdom of Bern.

Many of Bern's citizens expressed their discontent at having someone who had
once taken the Fire Emblem and fled to the enemy as their ruler, but Guinevere
put her utmost effort into regaining the people's trust.  That effort paid off,
and Bern slowly began to recover.

The Dark Priestess was never seen or heard of again.

Under the leadership of Etruria, Elibe slowly began to regain its past peace
and balance of power.

In the far future, long after Roy's time, all of Elibe would be united into one
nation.

But that is another story, and shall be told another time.

== After defeating Idoun ==

*If you killed Idoun with a weapon other than the Sword of Seals*

Roy
"What's happening...  The temple is starting to collapse!  Everyone!  Hurry
 outside!"

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  You are all right!"

Roy
"Yes...  But the temple is gone."

Merlinus
"It is over a thousand years old, and a lot of energy was released in the
 battles that we just fought.  Probably the building couldn't withstand it."

Roy
"I see..."

Merlinus
"Well, Master Roy, this is the end."

Roy
"No, it's not over yet.  This is just the beginning.  We have to help the land
 and the people recover from the war.  We have much work to do.  The real
 battle is just beginning!"

(To Guinevere's Crowning scene)

*If you killed Idoun with the Sword of Seals*

Fa
"Ah!"

Roy
"What's happening...  The temple is starting to collapse!  Everyone!  Hurry
 outside!"

Fa
"Roy..."

Roy
"I know.  Leave the rest to me.  Now go!"

Merlinus
"Master Roy!  You are all right!"

Roy
"Yes...  But the temple is gone."

Merlinus
"It is over a thousand years old, and a lot of energy was released in the
 battles that we just fought.  Probably the building couldn't withstand it."

Roy
"I see..."

Merlinus
"So times are changing again.  And...  Who is that you are carrying on your
 back?"

Roy
"Her?  Oh, right.  Merlinus, I need to ask you of something..."


== Guinevere's Crowning ==

*If Roy has Support Lv A with Lilina*

Lilina
"Princess Guinevere is to be crowned today."

Roy
"I haven't see her in her royal garments yet.  She must look beautiful beyond
 words.  Even when I first saw her, I couldn't believe that such a beautiful
 person existed."

Lilina
"Yes."

Roy
"But the Princess' hardships are still to come."

Lilina
"What?"

Roy
"Even if she becomes queen of Bern with Etruria's help, I'm sure that there
 will be a lot of rebellion and unrest."

Lilina
"Do you think so?"

Roy
"I think that there might be people who'll say that Princess Guinevere joined
 Etruria just to seize the throne.  She'll have to face them."

Lilina
"...But I think Princess Guinevere will be fine.  And then Bern will become a
 much better nation than before...  She's just so smart...and strong."

Roy
"Yeah...  I think so too."

Lilina
"...What are you going to do now?"

Roy
"Me?  I'll return to Pherae.  I'm worried about my father's illness, and we'll
 have to start rebuilding the lands that were trampled on by the war."

Lilina
"Um...I..."

Roy
"What?"

Lilina
"Uh...  Nothing.  So you're returning to Pherae..."

Roy
"What about you?  You're going back to Ostia, right?"

Lilina
"...Yes.  I must take my father's place."

Roy
"I'm glad to hear that you'll be staying is Ostia."

Lilina
"...Why?"

Roy
"Because if you're Ostia, then I can go meet you any time I want."

Lilina
"What..."

Roy
"Lilina...  I don't know when, but some day...  I'll go pick you up."

Lilina
"...I...  I have to prepare, too...  But...  Roy...  I always..."

Roy
"Oh!  The ceremony's starting.  Come on Lilina, we have to go see Princess...
 I mean, Queen Guinevere and pay our respects!"

Lilina
"So...I always...  ...What!?  R-Roy, wait for me!"

*If Roy doesn't have Support Lv A with Lilina*

Roy
"Princess Guinevere, congratulations on your crowning."

Guinevere
"Yes...  But my battle is only about to begin."

Roy
"I'm sorry...  I had to rely on Etruria to fulfill my task."

Guinevere
"No, I am grateful.  However, I think that there will be people who will that
 I joined Etruria just to seize the throne."

Roy
"Princess..."

Guinevere
"But the most important thing now is to rebuild Bern.  I will try my best to
 gain the people's trust by bringing Bern back to life.  No matter how long it
 takes..."

Roy
"If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask."

Guinevere
"Thank you.  Some day I might.  Roy, are you..."

Roy
"Yes?"

Guinevere
"What are you going to do?  Will you remain in the Etrurian Army?"

Roy
"No, I will return to Pherae.  I'm worried about my father's illness, and we
 will have to start rebuilding the lands that were trampled on by the war."

Guinevere
"You are returning to your homeland?  That is just like you.  Still...
 Someone of your ability could easily aim for high power in the Etrurian
 Court."

Roy
"M-Me!?  No no no, I have no such ability!"

Guinevere
"Pherae's people are fortunate to have such a gifted leader as you."

*A Soldier appears*

Soldier
"Princess...  I mean Your Majesty..."

Guinevere
"Guinevere is fine.  What is the matter?"

Soldier
"Yes, Lady Guinevere.  The ceremony is ready to begin!"

Guinevere
"Thank you.  I will be there shortly."

*Soldier leaves*

Guinevere
"Roy, will you come with me?"

Roy
"Me?"

Guinevere
"Ever since I left Bern with the Fire Emblem, you have helped me tremendously.
 So I want you to see me crowned...  I want you to see what path Bern will take
 with my leadership."

Roy
"Of course.  If it is all right with you, then I shall be glad to accompany
 you."

Guinevere
"Then..."

Roy
"Let us go see a new Bern...and a new age."

*Roy and Guinevere run off together to the bottom of the screen*

(If you killed Idoun with the Sword of Seals, go on to Afterwards.  If not, the
 credits will begin and the game will end.)


== Afterwards ==

And time passed by...

Elder of Nabata
"Ah, Master Roy.  It has been a long time."

Roy
"I had business in these areas, so I decided to stop by on the way."

Elder
"Fa will be glad to see you."

Roy
"I saw her earlier.  She is as energetic as ever."

Elder
"She is being allowed outside more these days.  Perhaps that is why."

Roy
"How is the girl that I sent here doing?"

Elder
"We succeeded in restoring her soul, but..."

Roy
"...She still won't go back to normal?"

Elder
"Fa sometimes takes her outside, but she won't try to do anything on her own."

Roy
"I see..."

Elder
"Master Roy...  We knew that the girl you sent here was captured by the
 Dragons.  Still, we did not try and rescue her.  We feared that our kind would
 be in danger if we showed ourselves in front of them again.  But now, I wonder
 whether my judgment was correct."

Roy
"......"

Elder
"Perhaps it is because we have begun to live with humans.  I will make my best
 efforts to bring back the girl's heart fully."

Roy
"...Thank you."

Elder
"As a first, I would like to see some kind of sign that her emotions are
 working...  Like laughing or crying, or something..."

*Scene switches to Fa and Idoun*

Fa
"And that is called a tree!"

Idoun
"Tree..."

Fa
"Right!  And that tree gives yummy fruit!"

Idoun
"Fruit?"

Fa
"Yes. Can you see?  It's up at the top.  And if you shake the tree like
 this..."
(Fa shakes the tree)

Fa
"Oww! It fell on Fa's head..."

Idoun
"*laughs*"

Fa
"...?  Did you just laugh?"

Idoun
"...Laugh? Me?"

Fa
"Yeah! You just laughed!  Yes!  You laughed!"

Idoun
"Laugh...?  This is to laugh?"

Fa
"Where's Roy?  Roy!  Fa has to tell Roy that Idoun laughed!"

*Fa leaves*

Idoun
"A warm...breeze..."

time dealing with pointless email.

Feel free to contact me with questions/comments at

But please don't do the following.  I will not respond to emails like these.
  -Don't email me with questions about beating the game.  There are message

   a response that way, and my inbox doesn't get cluttered, which makes both
   you and me happier.
  -Don't ask me questions that are answered in my FAQs or in any other FAQs 
   on the same game.  It just makes sense.
  -I am fluent only in English and Japanese.  Don't send me emails in French,

  -Flaming.  Pretty self explanatory.  Don't do it.
  -Don't send me false information.  It won't be tolerated, whether it is
   intentional or not.
  -Chain letters.  Don't even think about sending me them.
  -Please don't send me anything over 400KB, either.
  -"Is Roy in this game?"  YES HE IS.
  -"Is Marth in this game?"  NO HE IS NOT.

You are welcome to email me about the following.
  -Corrections are always welcome.  I make mistakes too.  But don't email me
   with spelling or grammatical mistakes, unless they're so bad it's illegible.
  -CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and suggestions on how I can improve my FAQ are
   welcome.  I'm still new to this and know that I have lots of things I can
   reform that I am unaware of.
  -Clarification on something that is unclear in my FAQs is welcome.  That will
   help me make something that is not clear more so for future viewers.

Okay?

---------------------------- VII. ROM Patch Notice ----------------------------
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
###############################################################################

Important notice!

Some people at the Fire Emblem Sanctuary of Strategy (FESS) boards have decided
to build an English translation patch of the FE6 Japanese ROM.  They are using
my translations for the mainline script and the support conversations, which
will be finished (hopefully) sometime soon.

Here are the people involved:

Parser Man: Dark Twilkitri
Builder: Seth/Roy Mustang/Eaichu
Translators: Rosa Aquafire, FireLizard

For more details, you can go to
  http://s7.invisionfree.com/FESS/index.php?showtopic=3381

Note that this file will still stay up on GameFAQs.  The patch isn't done yet,
and, with all due respect, I know that some people have issues with ROMs, so
they won't want to use the patch.  So anyway, this text file will remain here
even after the patch is released.

That's it for now.
