Paralogue 23: The Radiant Hero
Pre-Battle
Robin
I stand corrected. It seems the rumors of a hidden village were true...
Chrom
Indeed. But could a descendant of the Radiant Hero truly reside here? I still have my doubts.
Robin
What all do you know about this Radiant Hero, anyway?
Chrom
Only what the legends tell—that he's an unparalleled warrior from another world. They say he felled thousands with a divine blade blessed by Ashera herself.
Robin
Interesting. Then if his descendant exists and possesses even a tenth of his skill...
Chrom
Exactly. Strength like that could be of great use to us.
Priam
This assumes he would even fight for you. A bold assumption, that.
Robin
Wha—?! When did you...?
Chrom
Who are you?
Priam
I'm Priam. ...The hypothetical descendant you were just going on about.
Chrom
What? Well met, then! I'm Chrom, of Ylisse. I apologize if I sounded presumptuous. Though I see I was clearly correct in my assumptions about your strength...
Priam
Flattery is cheap, friend. Very cheap. So, to what do I owe the honor? A royal's come all this way just to enlist me?
Chrom
Yes, actually.
Priam
Interesting. But I've little interest in following someone else's orders. ...Unless they're handed down by a man who can fight for himself.
Chrom
And if I prove I'm such a man?
Priam
Prove it and see.
Chrom
Heh. Right to the point, I see. ...I think I like you already. Very well. I accept!

Heh... Y-you're good...
Post-Battle
Priam
Seems I've been a big fish in a small pond for too long. It's time I saw the open sea again. Sign me up.
Chrom
Excellent. And welcome aboard.
Knight
Y-you're leaving us, Priam? But we'll be adrift without you! You were the inspiration of every man here! ...And a true friend.
Chrom
That man wears a Valmese knight's armor. And there's a Feroxi swordsman. I also see one of Ylisse's pegasus knights. ...And is that a Plegian wyvern rider?! You've a small army here, Priam! How did this happen?
Priam
They came to challenge me and never left.
Knight
We'll not hold you back, Priam. This world has need of men like you. But do us the honor of one last match before you set sail!
Priam
Ha ha! All right, you're on! ...Er, sorry, Chrom. I'll try to make this quick.
Chrom
He actually means to challenge them all. Regardless of skill or the crest they bear, he treats them as peers. Despite the violence, I can see a kind of peace in it. ...A brotherhood. Perhaps he'll help us craft a world where this is the only sort of fighting left.
