Main story
Katarina bumps into Chris
Katarina:
Eek!
Chris:
Whoa, are you okay?
Katarina:
I-I'm sorry. I was in a hurry, and... Excuse me, did you come here
to become an Altean knight as well?
Chris:
Yep. I came here all the way from Sera village when I heard they
were recruiting new knights. The name's Chris.
If you have a super short name
Katarina:
Chris...? T-that's quite an unusual, short name....
If you have a short name
Katarina:
Chris? That's a nice, short name.
If you have a normal length name
Katarina:
Chris? That's a nice name.
If you have a long name
Katarina:
Chris? That sounds so dignified!
Katarina:
We're here for the same reason, then. My name is Katarina. I came
because I wish to serve Prince Marth. But there sure are a lot of
hopefuls here. Look, there's one over there and another there...
Luke:
Here it is! This is where my shining legacy starts! The first
chapter of my epic saga to become Altea's greatest knight!
Rody:
...Luke, I'm going up ahead.
Luke:
Hey, wait up, Rody! Don't leave your partner behind!
Luke and Rody leave
Chris:
There's no doubt those two were knight candidates like us.
Katarina:
We should follow them, Chris. I think the leader of the knights, Sir
Jagen, has something to say to all of us.
Jagen's speech
Jagen:
Altea's gate have opened today so that we may test you as potential
knights. Knights will be chosen by their ability, not by their
blood. The path is not easy, though. We have gathered a hundred men
and women today, and only a handful of you will succeed.
Katarina:
T-this is nervewracking.
Chris:
I'm nervous too, but I've been training hard for this day.
Jagen:
So we expect every one of you to show us the fruits of your arduous
training! Apprentices, I want you to gather in pairs! You will be
facing real Altean knights in mock combat!
Katarina:
Huh? We have to fight? T-this could be a problem... Chris, would you
please partner with me? I'm training to become a strategist.
Chris:
A strategist?
Katarina:
Y-yes. I can give you advice on how to fight, but I can't fight at
all...
Soldier:
Hey, you two! You're up next. Grab your weapons and get into
position. Hurry!
Chris:
Got it! Let's go, Katarina! The test is about to start.
Katarina:
Y-yes! Let's do our best.
On the first turn
Katarina:
Chris! Let's move to that spot over there.
After Chris moves to the highlighted square
Soldier:
So you made it to the right place. I'll be your first opponent.
Attack me however you like!
After Chris defeats the Soldier
Jagen:
...I'm your final opponent for the day. Don't hold back!
Chris vs. Jagen
Jagen:
Excellent. Show me what you've got!
Jagen defeated
Jagen:
Urgh... I've been beaten?
Chapter ends
Chris:
Phew... we won!
Jagen:
Yes... that was most splendid! I see we can expect much from this
year's apprentices.
Katarina:
You did it! We won, Chris! ...But I didn't really do anything... It
was all thanks to you that we won, Chris!
Marth's speech
Jagen:
Prince Marth wishes to address everyone who passed the test. Sire,
if you please.
Marth:
I humbly thank you all for coming.
Katarina:
Ah, it's Prince Marth! He looks so majestic. So that's the face of
the hero who saved the world. I love the stories about Prince Marth
in the last war. How about you, Chris?
Chris:
Of course. After all, Prince Marth was the hero who brought an end
to the previous war.
Katarina:
Yes, he defeated the Shadow Dragon and Dark Pontifex, restoring
peace to the world.
Jagen:
You there, silence! You stand before Prince Marth!
Katarina:
Eep!
Marth:
Everyone. I'm truly happy that so many came to help shoulder Altea's
future. With the war over, peace has returned. However, peace isn't
something we can simply take for granted: It is my duty, as ruler,
to risk my life to protect it. Alone, I am powerless. So, everyone.
From now on, I want you to lend me your power, as my knights.
Katarina:
Hear hear, Prince Marth! It was wonderful hearing Prince Marth
speak, wasn't it, Chris?
Chris:
Yeah, it was. We have to do our best as his loyal knights.
Katarina:
Let's keep at it together!
